Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 292 Restructuring of the Privy Council

Wende Hall.

Guo Rong was leaning on the bed, and standing in front of him were the three ministers of the temple, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.

Seeing Guo Rong's pale complexion, the three of them felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, and they all secretly hated the sky for being blind.

In this chaotic world, it is rare to meet a Mingjun, which is a great opportunity to achieve eternal achievements.

Seeing that everything is going well, but it has taken a sudden turn for the worse, the sky is jealous of the talents, and it is unavoidable to feel sad, and all eyes are red.

On the contrary, Guo Rong was fearless and said: "The three of you are called here today to discuss something important."

Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu bowed together and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Guo Rong said: "I intend to reform the Privy Council. I have this idea long ago, but it has not been implemented. From today onwards, those who enter the Privy Council will not be allowed to command soldiers. Only the orders of the Privy Council can mobilize the imperial guards in Beijing. , the Dianqian Division, and the Guards and Guards Division, the three chiefs have the responsibility of commanding the troops, but have no right to deploy them..."

Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu looked at each other, and they all saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

This reform of the Privy Council was obviously aimed at Luo Youdu, the commanding army of the Imperial Camp and deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

What they think is right and wrong.

In fact, Guo Rong had long thought about the restructuring of the Privy Council.

Suppressing the arrogance of domineering military officials is what Guo Rong has been doing all along.

Historically, Guo Rong had carried out the reform of the Privy Council very early on, but Guo Rong in this era kept it and did not implement it.

On the contrary, Luo Youdu was allowed to hold both the military power and the Privy Council power, mainly because Luo Youdu's thoughts were too in line with his wishes.

Generals in this era are not afraid of death, they can fight and fight, but they don't have the ambition to expand their territories.

Thinking and vision are limited.

Whether it was Li Chongjin or Zhang Yongde, they all saw the three-acre land in front of them.

Even if Zhao Kuangyin is ambitious, he still follows the old path.

Only Luo Youdu and Wang Pu look forward to the future.

Luo Youdu's training and guidance to the Imperial Camp Division, Guo Rong is all in the eyes.

Watching Luo Youdu cultivate the values ​​of the younger generation of generals in Dazhou, Guo Rong sincerely sighed that this is what a military official should think.

If you have the energy to fight against foreign enemies, you don't want to guard your own one-acre three-point land, thinking about strengthening yourself all the time, and breeding unnecessary thoughts.

So Guo Rong let go of his idea of ​​reforming the Privy Council, and instead pulled Luo Youdu into the Privy Council and became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Luo Youdu did not disappoint Guo Rong either.

During his tenure as deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he planned the conquest of Yanyou's hometown, and successfully recovered [-]% of Youyan's hometown with a set of combined punches against Khitan. The only remaining isolated city, Jizhou, was just around the corner.

It's just that the current Guo Rong can't just sit back and watch Luo Youdu control both the battalion division and the Privy Council.

Once he died of illness, Luo Youdu would mobilize troops with his left hand and command the army with his right hand, combining the power of commanding troops and mobilizing troops in one person.Coupled with his own great strategy, who can resist this?
Guo Rong continued: "The Privy Council is in charge of the Privy Council alone, which is too heavy. Fan Xiang and Wang Xiangjia have the titles of the Privy Council. The three of you have the full power to coordinate military and political affairs."

Fan Zhi and Wang Pu looked happy.

They have been worried that Guo Rongzhen died of illness, so why do they control the arrogant and domineering generals?

Now it seems that his lord has already thought of everything.

Civilian officials are not allowed to command troops, and military officials are not allowed to transfer troops to check and balance each other.

Guo Rong continued: "If I don't hide (died early), Luo Qing will be removed from the post of deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Order the Dazhou Navy to be incorporated into the Imperial Army Division, and the guards and guards will also be assigned to Hu Jiejun and Guo Tingwei. Incorporated into the Imperial Division."

This is compensation.

After all, the Yuying Division was established not long ago, and its strength and numbers are not comparable to that of the Guards and Dianqian Division.

But as soon as the [-] Zhou navy army was incorporated, plus the left and right Hu Jie army and Guo Tingwei's soldiers, the number of soldiers under the control of the imperial camp division suddenly expanded to [-].

It can be compared with the guards' pro-jun division and the Dianqian division.

Coupled with Luo Youdu's achievements and prestige, it is not a problem to secure No. 1 in the army.

Guo Rong paused, and continued: "The three of you are also involved in military and political affairs, as well as government affairs in the court, and I'm afraid you will be slack in it. Three assistant ministers, I think it's a little less. Can add one more, what do you think?"

Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu dared not refuse, so they bowed and said yes.

Guo Rong waved his hand and said, "You guys step back!"

Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu bowed and retired together.

After leaving Wende Hall, the three of them walked towards the imperial city together.

They had their own concerns, and they were silent all the way.

After walking for a while, Wei Renpu said: "Brother Fan, Brother Wang, you and I often meet in the Council Hall, why not go to the Privy Council to discuss our military affairs today."

Fan Zhi and Wang Pu looked at each other and said, "Good!"

They have worked together for many years and are already familiar with each other.

The Council Hall is to the east, and the Privy Council is to the west. The three plan to leave the palace through the left gate to the right gate.

When passing through the Zuoye Gate, Fan Zhi glanced at the door inadvertently, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he saw an acquaintance!
After walking a hundred steps, Fan Zhi suddenly said: "Brother Wang, Brother Wei, you go first, a certain matter suddenly occurred to me, and I need to go to the council hall to deal with it immediately."

Wei Renpu said: "Then let's go to the Council Hall together."

Fan Zhi hurriedly said: "No, no, we have been paying attention to the council hall, what big event can happen. The confidentiality of the Privy Council is the most important thing at the moment. The two ministers will go first, and Fan will come later."

Fan Zhi bowed to the two, turned around and left.

Although Wang Pu and Wei Renpu were strange, it was inconvenient to pay attention to them, and they went to the Privy Council together.

Fan Zhi didn't go back to the council hall, but went back the same way, and quickly searched for the familiar figure.

Sure enough, the direction of the visitor was the Wende Palace where he had just come out.

Fan Zhi no longer followed, so as not to arouse suspicion, he turned around and left.

Fan Zhi frowned, and clenched the fist in his sleeve tightly.

The familiar figure was his deadly enemy Wang Zhuo.

Fan Zhi is a man of integrity and honesty. He has been a friend for many years and has never received gifts other than daily festival gifts, and no matter who it is, the value of the gift must not exceed the usual money.

Otherwise, no matter who gave it as a gift, he will return it.As a prime minister, his generous salary and rewards were mostly given to the widows and widows, and his family had no money left.Relatives and friends asked for an official position, but he refused.

A moral role model, nothing more.

But no one is perfect!
Fan Zhi has an anxious personality and loves to refute people face to face.

If he disagrees with him, he often likes to force the other party to agree with his point of view. He memorizes it mechanically, and few people can argue with him.

Individuals who can fight against him know his temper, some are afraid of his prime minister status, and some have a good relationship, so let him have one or two.

The only exception is Wang Zhu.

Wang Zhu is open-minded and magnanimous, without a city in his chest, but he is talented and knowledgeable, which is rare in the world, and he never cares about Fan Zhi's face.

If the two have disagreements, they will often argue with each other red-faced, they can't talk, and pulling each other is a common occurrence.

A trace of fear flashed in Fan Zhi's eyes.

"The aspect mentioned by the official is not reserved for him!"
