After sending off Chun Shisanniang, Li Zhigao was also tired from traveling. After washing up, he returned to the bedroom and listened to Su Hongyu talking about the marriage arrangements for Li Zhi and Li Tian's two sons, and what he had just heard from Chun Shisanniang about Luoyang City.
There was nothing new in the room, so I fell asleep without even realizing it.
When he woke up in the morning, he heard someone talking inside and outside the courtyard. Li Zhigao got up and walked out. He saw a burly middle-aged official with two attendants standing in the passage outside the inner courtyard, talking to Li Zhigao.
.
Although Li Zhi was only twenty-two years old, he was already qualified to be promoted to the rank of deputy brigade commander in the army. However, Li Zhigao brought him to Luoyang this time, in addition to hoping to resolve his marriage issue as soon as possible.
It also means to completely give up military power, and also hopes that Li Zhi can temporarily bid farewell to the bloody battlefield and serve in Luoyang to accumulate more experience.
Li Zhigao saw that the middle-aged official had an extraordinary bearing, but was wearing a low-level official uniform of literature and history. He thought he was an aide assigned to him by the General Staff Office, so he wanted to ask Li Zhi to take him to the front hall to sit down and wait for him to wash up before asking him formally.
Matters related to the Staff Office.
"This is General Chen Kun, the instructor of the Military Academy..." Li Zhi said to Li Zhigao.
Li Zhigao was appointed as the Counselor of the General Staff Office, and at the same time he also held the post of leader of the sacrificial wine at the Military Academy.
At present, Luoyang National Comprehensive College has staff such as supervisors, as well as teaching positions such as priests, professors, lecturers, and assistant teachers.
The Military Academy is relatively independent. Liquor worship is nominally the highest official position. Li Zhigao was still thinking about the handover of the Military Academy. It should be a military officer such as the Academy Supervisor or Deputy Administrative Officer who came to hand over to him. But when he saw Chen Kun Chao
He raised his hands in salute, then suddenly thought about who this person was, and quickly returned the salute:
"Ah, it turns out to be General Chen Kun. Why did your Majesty ask you to come to my place?"
Li Zhigao had never met Chen Kun, but how could he not know his deeds?
"Chen Kun can't stand the courtesy of the military master," Chen Kun said. "Chen Kun has made great contributions to the construction of the mausoleum. He was promoted one level and was transferred from Yichuan County Chief Secretary to the Military Academy to teach - the military master also accepts sacrifices.
Jiu, Chen Kun, as an assistant teacher, will have to listen to the orders of the military master from now on."
"Don't dare, don't dare," Li Zhigao said hurriedly, and then ordered Li Zhi, "You accompany General Chen to the front hall to sit for a while. I will come right after I wash up. It's really rude."
Li Zhigao washed up in a hurry and rushed to the front hall. He and Chen Kun sat down separately as guests of honor, and asked Li Zhi and his second son Li Tian, who were still getting up behind him, to come over and sit with him.
The Office of the General Staff was busy with affairs, and even if Li Zhigao also took charge of the Military Academy's memorial service, it would be difficult for him to take care of the daily affairs there.
However, the Military Academy is the cradle for training Daliang generals. Even if it is in name only, this position of sacrificial wine is unusual and cannot be assigned to anyone casually. Even Guo Que and Xi Nuer have slightly less qualifications.
There are shortcomings.
Li Zhigao initially thought that Han Qian would choose another promising veteran in the army besides him to serve as the hospital supervisor to preside over daily affairs. But now that he saw Chen Kun sitting in front of him, he guessed that Han Qian would
What is Qian's arrangement?
Chen Kun was responsible for the big mistake of indiscriminate killing of women and children when he attacked Xingyang. Han Qian wiped out his general position and reused it in just two or three years, which would undermine the majesty of national law. At this time, the military academy did not have a supervisor.
And making Chen Kun actually responsible for the daily affairs of the military academy as a low-level assistant can be regarded as a proper arrangement for him.
In addition, although Chen Kun seems to be of low rank, with his qualifications and reputation
Hope, but there is no need to worry about what others will think of such an arrangement.
Li Zhigao waited for a while, then rushed to the Staff Office with his two sons and Chen Kun.
The General Staff Office and the Zuo Neishi Office are involved in military and political decision-making. They are located outside the south gate of Shangyang Garden. There is a road directly leading to Lingyun Pavilion where Han Qian met with generals and handled government affairs on a daily basis.
In addition to the left and right counselors, the General Staff Office also has deputy governors such as Guo Que, Xi Faer, and Yin Peng. The governors are in charge of various departments. Wang Che is also the one who knows how to make imperial edicts and advise the officials, and is responsible for the liaison between Lingyun Pavilion and the General Staff Office.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Jing Hao, a minister of the Prefecture, also rushed to the government office to meet with Li Zhigao. Jing Hao was once the commander of the Infantry Division of the Imperial Guard, and Jing Zhen, who was the commander of the Chengtian Division, were both direct generals around Zhu Yu.
Jing Hao is not yet sixty years old, but he suffered from injuries and illnesses during his early years of fighting in the north and south. Today he rushed to the government office to meet Li Zhigao, who was also supported by the guards.
Jing Hao currently only holds the title of judge in the Staff Office and is no longer involved in specific affairs. Going to see Li Zhigao in the Staff Office today is also a formal handover of the power of the Staff Office.
Jing Hao had three sons, two of whom were appointed officials. The second son, Jing Jin, was appointed as the governor of the Military Supervisory Department of the General Staff Office.
"The Office of the General Staff has great authority. I hope Mr. Li will take charge of it and help you achieve great achievements for a generation." Jing Hao consoled Li Zhigao with regret.
Although the average life expectancy in today's world is very low, mainly due to the high mortality rate of minors and the lack of medical treatment for poor people, in terms of the temple life, the age of sixty can be said to be in the prime of life.
If it weren't for the injuries he suffered from his early battles, how could Jing Hao be willing to hand over his position as a generalissimo, which is equivalent to a large army of soldiers and horses?
Jing Hao was not greedy for power, but when Zhu Yu persuaded the generals to welcome Han Qian, he said that the hope of reversing the crisis in the Hehuai River, resisting the barbarians, and reunifying the world could only be achieved with Han Qian's help.
On the body.
Seeing that the dawn of the world's unification has begun to shine, Jing Hao cannot stay in it and welcome the arrival of the prosperous age. How can he not have regrets in his heart?
Li Zhigao's emotions were affected, and he thought with emotion: Is there anything that can be more inspiring than pioneering achievements for thousands of years and leaving a name in history?
When it comes to the power of the General Staff Office, compared to the Privy Councils of Chu and Shu, Han Qian has almost all military powers except recruitment and soldier registration management, including the construction of barracks and fortresses, the research and development, manufacturing, procurement, and military affairs of armor and weapons.
Powers such as transfers, appointments and promotions of military attaches and generals, as well as military discipline supervision, intelligence reconnaissance, etc. are all centralized in the Staff Office.
At this time, the General Staff Office was equivalent to the headquarters of hundreds of thousands of athletes in Daliang.
After seeing off Jing Hao, Li Zhigao met with the governors of the various departments of the General Staff Office, as well as with the governors and key-level principals and other middle and high-level officials. In the afternoon, he went to Lingyun Pavilion to participate in the cabinet meeting.
In terms of government affairs, although the decision-making methods of Zuo Neishi Fu's ruling and council review have been formed, Daliang is in a period of rapid expansion of power, and the military situation is changing rapidly. Some important and complex military and government affairs are mainly handled by the various government agencies and councils.
Gather to Lingyun Pavilion to discuss.
In this cabinet meeting, Han Daoming and Zhu Juezhong, who preside over the Council, still play the role of deliberation. Even Han Qian's ruling can be rejected by the Council if it is generally opposed.
The focus of the cabinet meeting in the afternoon was the preparation for the establishment of the first and second central battalions.
The preparation of the first and second central battalions is not simply a matter of gathering the troops from various departments.
In addition to Kong Xirong and others, Han Dong
Hu and several other generals who were scheduled to serve as the main generals of the Second Central Bank Battalion also rushed to Luoyang from Xingyang, Hulao and others to attend the cabinet meeting.
These two elite troops will assume the important military tasks of guarding the center and mobile reinforcements in various battles in the future, and must choose to build their garrison in or near Luoyang. The first and second central camp armies, in addition to the chief generals, also include the combat staff department and camp construction.
Logistics support, military discipline supervision and other departments need to confirm it as soon as possible.
The first central camp of the west wing of the camp is mainly located in Tongguan and Pujin Pass in the north. The second central camp of the east wing is mainly located in Hulao Pass, Mengzhou and other places. In this way, one on the left and one on the right also happens to connect Luoyang
It can be defended, and at the same time it is convenient to connect by land and water, and the original garrison camp can also be used to transform it.
When there is a need for military mobilization, the two central elites can quickly open up various battlefields over long distances to carry out supporting operations.
The Luoyang generals and ministers all had a pragmatic spirit and practical experience. Under Han Qian's strong leadership, there was rarely any wrangling between factions. Under the influence, decision-making and promotion of things were very efficient. Li Zhigao soon had a clear understanding of the affairs within the General Staff Office and the various government agencies.
Things become familiar.
Gao Shao and Han Yuanqi rushed to Xuzhou and Donghu respectively in late June to take up their posts. Jing Hao officially retired from official duties and was recovering from illness. Before Tian Cheng returned to Luoyang, Li Zhigao had to support the staff office alone.
Specific matters were assisted by Guo Que, Xi Faer, Yin Peng, Jing Jin and others. However, the preparations for the establishment of the first and second battalion armies, the formulation of the battle plan for the invasion of southern Shanxi, and the adjustment of the relationship between the camp armies, reserve armies and the garrison in various places were still called Li Zhigao.
They were so busy that they waited until the end of June to invite Shang Sanniang. Yun Puzi rushed to the detention prison of the Supervisory Mansion to visit Lu Qingxia, Yao Xishui, Zhou Yuan and others.
As the highest supervision agency in Daliang Prison, the Supervisory Office is mainly responsible for guiding and supervising the prison and supervision affairs of provinces and counties, and promulgating the detailed rules of criminal supervision orders; as for specific judgments and executions, the Supervisory Office is only responsible for major and extraordinarily serious matters.
The review of the case, if the review is correct, is also carried out by the Department of Prisons and Prisons at the provincial level, and serious criminals will not be specially escorted to Luoyang for execution.
More importantly, after Han Qian abolished the old system of killing clans and waiting for punishment, the traditional central prison was overcrowded every time a major case was committed. This situation can no longer be seen in the detention prison of the Supervisory Office.
Li Zhigao, Yun Puzi and others rushed to the prison. The governor of the prison had already known that Li Zhigao and the others were visiting the prison with an order from the emperor, so they specially led the jailers to greet them at the gate of the prison.
Li Zhigao turned over and dismounted. When Hongyu and Chun Shisanniang helped the old Yun Puzi get off the carriage, he was about to walk to the prison under the guidance of the governor of the prison. At this time, he saw several people outside the prison gate being stopped by the jailer.
On the side of the road, I looked over and saw a young man who looked like he opened his mouth and called out, but a woman next to him covered his mouth and dragged him to the side.
"Who are they?" Li Zhigao asked the governor of the prison, dozens of steps away from each other, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Perhaps she is from Zhou Yuan's family?" Su Hongyu said hesitantly. From a distance, she looked at the old woman, who looked like Zhou Yuan's wife Zhao.
"Except for Zhou Yuan's eldest son, Zhou Xing, and his second son, Zhou Wen, who are both imprisoned, the rest of his family members are under residential surveillance at Shui Shui Yi and are not imprisoned. According to prison regulations, his direct relatives can come to visit the prison every month. Counting the days, today is the day.
It was Zhou Yuan's wife and young son who came to visit the prison, but when the military master came over, we temporarily blocked them outside." The prison governor reported back.
"Call them over and come with us." Li Zhigao said.
