The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 166

The Luoshui Dynasty system, the new emperor ascended the throne for three days without court, and the new emperor summoned the Central Pavilion within these three days.

Before Chang Ji ascended the throne, he mourned for Duan Zhi for 27 days, and the government was temporarily replaced by the central government.Three days after ascending the throne, he summoned the Zhongshu Pavilion to report government affairs and return the ruling power to the new emperor.

The central pavilion in Luoshui is composed of the left and right ministers, Da Sima, Da Si Nong and Da Sikong, and is located in the Wenshu Pavilion next to the Wenhua Hall.The Shenshan Mansion controls the military power in Luoshui, and the Shenshan kings of all dynasties also served as the Grand Sima, but because the army is not involved in politics, the position of the Grand Sima is useless in the Central Pavilion.

In order to avoid suspicion, Shen Shan Mansion usually does not come to the imperial capital unless summoned by the emperor.The affairs of the imperial capital are all represented by the head of the capital.The new emperors of the past dynasties summoned the Central Pavilion and rarely summoned the Da Sima.

This time, Chang Ji summoned both Grand Sima Shen Shanze and General Shen Shanzhi.

The breakfast was also served in the Wenshu Pavilion, and Chang Ji had breakfast with all the ministers in the Zhongshu Pavilion.Cang Yubo's face was already dark enough, but seeing Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi also entered the Wenshu Pavilion, his face became even darker.

Nie Chuanzhen, on the other hand, was content with himself, chatting with Chang Wei while he was eating. Da Sikong was Bo Nie Chuanxi of the Nie Chuan clan, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xianrong, and the uncle of Chang Wei Zheng'er. The amiable and amiable performance is incisive and vivid, and he has always been concerned about whether Chang's breakfast suits his appetite, what his usual preferences are, and whether he pays attention to health regimen.

Da Si Nong is the eldest son of the Kanmu Mansion, the Kanmu Sect, and the eldest son of Xipu, the head of the Kanmu clan. He is a loyal and honest man, and he doesn't talk much. Just sit upright.When Chang Ji invited him to eat, he would eat two mouthfuls, and if he didn't invite him, he would sit upright.

Chang Ji grew up in Shen Shan Mansion, and often had meals with Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi, Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi were also used to it, and they all ate very happily.

In the entire Wenshu Pavilion, only Cang Yubo remained silent, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

After breakfast, he began to report government affairs, and Da Si Nong first reported the agricultural and mulberry commercial tax.Then Da Sikong reported the situation of Taixue, scientific research and officials' daily violations.After the two of them reported, it was almost noon.

Chang Ji said, "That's all for today's government affairs. I have a few things I want to discuss with you."

Except for Cang Yubo who had a dark complexion, the others all said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Chang Wei said, "I want to reform the military system."

She had already informed Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi before, and their expressions were as usual.The rest of the people were shocked, and even Cang Yubo changed his face, looking at Chang Po.

Chang Wei smiled: "The military has never been involved in politics. Naturally, there is a reason for it, but there are also many disadvantages. I want to reform the military system. I will transfer one-fifth of the soldiers and horses from the Shenshan Mansion, and the Nie Chuan family and The Cangyu family is in charge of each half, and at the same time, the Chen Shan family is granted the right to participate in the government, and the Shen Shan king and the great Sima will participate in the court meeting from now on. What do you think?"

Shen Shanze said: "The soldiers and generals in Shen Shan's mansion are all the people of Luoshui, and they are at your Majesty's disposal."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Your Majesty can use this method to balance the military and political affairs. How to reform, I am willing to go for Your Majesty."

Da Sikong and Da Siong also had no objections.

Chang Ji looked at Cang Yu and said, "What did the Prime Minister say?"

Cang Yu said thinly: "Although this method is good, may I ask His Majesty how to arrange the military pay and food?"

Chang Ji said: "I have also thought about this matter. Since the soldiers and horses have been assigned to the Niechuan and Cangyu clans, the military pay and food are naturally handled by the Niechuan and Cangyu clans themselves. The Shan Mansion and the royal family each bear half. After the reform of the military system, the soldiers and horses of the Shen Shan Mansion still account for the majority, and the military pay is still shared by the Shen Shan Mansion and the royal family."

Shen Shan Mansion has more soldiers and less food at the moment, so Chang Ji disarmed in a disguised form, one is to ease the burden of food and grass for Shen Shan Mansion, and the other is to exchange military power for Shen Shan Mansion's right to participate in politics.

Cangyu said thinly: "The royal family's military pay comes from the treasury, and the treasury's wealth comes from the taxes of the various clans. If it is according to His Majesty, the Cangyu clan and the Niechuan clan will not only have to pay the treasury for Shenshan Mansion. I’m afraid it’s not fair that I have to pay for my own army’s military salary? I’m afraid that the clans also feel dissatisfied.”

Shen Shanzhi said: "Mr. Right, what you said is wrong. The treasury's wealth is the income from the joint taxation of the three major clans and the four minor clans of Luoshui. The treasury also includes taxes from all the ethnic groups in Shenshan. It's not that the Shenshan mansion only cares about supporting itself. The soldiers also need the clans to share the food and pay."

Chang Ji said: "After the reform of the military system, the three major clans in Luoshui all have the right to command the army. The three major clans plus the four minor clans have a total of hundreds of millions of people, and together raise millions of soldiers and horses. What's the problem? If it is true If there are difficulties, I think not only the military system must be reformed, but the finances must also be reformed."

The Cangyu family was in charge of finances, so they didn't say a word.

Chang Ji said, "What else do you want to say?"

Everyone said: "Your Majesty's words are very true."

Chang Ji said: "Since all the ministers have no objection, this matter is settled like this. Just now Prime Minister Zuo took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the reform, and I also feel that Prime Minister Zuo has a great responsibility. How to reform the military system will be a lot of trouble for Prime Minister Zuo bother."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "I obey the order."

Chang Ji said: "Since Nie Chuan and Cang Yu have never commanded military power, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a suitable general for the time being. If it causes discord and turmoil between the generals, it will be my fault and that of you. I will consider it again and again. , it is still decided that the generals of the Shen Shan family will be in charge of the leading generals for the time being, and will be replaced when the time is right."

Hearing this, Cang Yubo's face turned ashen again.Da Sikong and Da Siong glanced at each other, good guy!This is an empty-handed white wolf.After talking for a long time, this sentence is the key point.

It is said to be a reform of the military system, but what is the difference between letting the generals of the Shenshan Mansion command the soldiers and horses for the Cangyu family and the Niechuan family and letting the Shenshan Mansion take charge of all military power?
Cang Yubo immediately wanted to refute, but Nie Chuanzhen had already spoken first: "Your Majesty is very worried. Luoshui has only gone through wars and civil strife, and now His Majesty has been enthroned to be pacified. If there is another military disaster and the people's livelihood is in chaos, I will wait for thousands of people. Death is inevitable."

Cang Yubo argued vigorously: "Although I say so, there must be a time limit anyway, please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Chang Ji said: "After the reform of the military system, children from all clans can join the army. If you have the talent of a general, you can naturally replace the general who commanded the army."

Da Sikong and Da Sinong looked at each other again, yes, it's as if they didn't say anything.The descendants of the Niechuan and Cangyu clans are all engaged in literature and politics, how many of them can train and run the army?Forget about this generation, let's look at the next generation!

Cang Yu said thinly: "I'm afraid..."

Chang Ji said: "This is a major matter for the military and the country. It is related to the society and the people's livelihood. There is no room for any mistakes."

Nie Chuanzhen immediately reconciled: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true, Your Majesty is wise."

Shen Shanze and Shen Shanzhi also said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

Da Sikong and Da Sinong, who were still looking at each other, quickly followed suit.

Cang Yu's thin face was so dark that he couldn't see any light.

Chang Ji said: "This is the first discussion today, and all the ministers are tired, so I will give you a meal in the Wenhua Palace. After lunch, all the ministers will go back to rest first, and we will continue the discussion tomorrow."

Everyone saluted and retired, and Chang said: "The general stays."

Everyone looked at Shen Shanzhi, and retreated one by one, and Shen Shanzhi stayed.
