Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 431 Establishment of the Northern and Southern Offices
The memorial written by Cen Wenwen for Li Ke is good. It is brilliant and loyal. It not only captures the relationship between father and son, but also takes into account the important affairs of the country. his.

However, the name of this book is Li Ke, so that's another matter, so after many days, the emperor approved this memorial, and asked Cen Wenwen to go to the Wu Palace to proclaim the decree. Startled.

Seeing that Li Ke was listed as the right servant of the school’s military department in the playbook, Cen Wenwen couldn’t help but walked out of the Hongwen Hall, looked west, and sighed in his heart, it’s no loss that the king was killed in the bloody wind, Gao, really It's high! ! !
It is worth mentioning that Wei Zheng, since the emperor punished Li Tai, Wei Zheng has been sick at home.Of course he wasn't sick, but he just couldn't figure out how he brought down King Wei. Wasn't the emperor making a fuss over a molehill?
Li Tai and other princes have gone too far in recent years, and they usually punish them with minor punishments, why they cut off his retreat so simply!However, after all, he made a mistake this time, and offended many people, so it's better to be a loose official with his eyesight!

After receiving Wei Zheng's playbook, Li Shimin had no choice but to deny his request, but instead let him serve as a servant again, Jia Tejin, still ignorant of the family's affairs, court chapters and state codes, and consulted on gains and losses.

What is even more eye-catching is Ma Zhou, the emperor named him Doctor Yushi, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and brought him to the Yushitai, so that this young man in his early thirties was directly listed in the Tai Pavilion, to participate in political affairs,
Today is a snowfall in early winter, the outside is covered with snow, the main hall and trees of Chengqing Palace are covered with silver makeup decorated by him, the cold wind is blowing on the face like a small knife is cutting it, and The temperature and atmosphere inside the main hall are in sharp contrast with the outside.

It turned out that the emperor came here today to find Fang, Du, Wei Zheng and other important officials to finalize the matter of the military restructuring. This matter has been discussed for more than a month, but due to various reasons, it has not been finalized. The military affairs have always been It's difficult, there are too many people and things involved, and the emperor's requirements are too high, so it took so long to sort out.

The decree is that from the beginning of the first lunar month, after the Shangyuan Festival, that is, the tenth year of Zhenguan, the garrison in Chang'an will be divided into the twelve guards of the Nanya and the Forbidden Army of the Beiya. It was separated from the system and merged with the Yuan Shu Imperial Army and other inner court troops. It was stationed in the West Inner Garden in the north of the imperial palace, guarding the five gates of three dynasties from south to north, and directly obeying the emperor's orders.

Everyone in the palace knew that the reason why the emperor proposed to integrate the army at this time was the same as sending the kings out of Chang'an. All the generals who were born in the palace and joined the army before Zhenguan were transferred or put on hold. For example, Qian Jiulong and his like could no longer serve as the generals of the guards.

"Your Majesty, the main generals of the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right Wuhou guards, and the twelve guards have all been adjusted. The number of troops and number of weapons, etc. This is the number reported by the Ministry of War, and the rest of the items will be completed before the Shangyuan Festival, please read it, Your Majesty!"

After submitting the notebook, Du Ruhui continued to cup his hands and said, "Your Majesty, will the eliminated generals still be sent to the Zhechong Mansion to take up positions, but there are not so many positions in the Zhechong Mansion right now, should we find another way to properly accommodate them?" Woolen cloth?"

At the beginning of Zhenguan, these people were either not in important positions, or they were low-level officials, which did not affect the overall situation, so the emperor never moved them.But the current situation in the imperial court is stable, there is no disaster inside, no trouble outside, and the emperor's reputation is getting better and better day by day. Naturally, he will not tolerate the existence of people from other branches in the army, so from the beginning Du Ruhui No plan to arrange them.

Well, Li Shimin had already considered the issue of Du Ruhui. At the beginning, he planned to let them all serve as local officials, or to serve in the less important Zhechong Duwei's Mansion.But after receiving the memorabilia from Ma Zhou and Shangguanyi, he changed his mind. Since the affairs of the state government must be done sooner or later, there is no need to tear down the east wall to make up for the west.

He doesn't intend to beat everyone to death with a stick. After all, most of them have nothing wrong with them, and they have worked hard in the army for many years. What kind of gossip is made.

So, after touching his chin, Li Shimin immediately said: "I have considered this issue for many days. Ministers who have made meritorious service to the country should not be underestimated, and they must be properly settled. It is handled in the following three ways by Shang Shu Sheng and Zhong Shu Sheng First, generals above the fifth rank, who are quite old or have chronic illnesses, will all be retired.

Second, the generals and schools below the fifth rank will be placed in the local governor's office as appropriate. The assessment standards will be drawn up by Keming and Xuanling after they go down, and Baozhen will approve them.Third, anyone who is willing to serve as a scattered official or return to his hometown will be provided with double the salary and grain according to the current rank. "

"At the same time, another edict will be issued. From now on, except for the officials of the Eastern Palace and the vassal kings, the appointment of civil and military officials with a rank of seventh rank or above must go through the reconsideration of the three provinces and report to me for approval before they can take office."

Nuo, after hearing the emperor's imperial edict, all the officials stood up one after another to receive the edict. At the same time, everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor's insistence on holding official positions and titles was to dilute the importance of the kings, aristocratic families and other officials. With the development of the court, the current emperor is not afraid of challenges from any aspect, and he can fight with all forces.

"The decree is passed again, and the Duke of E - Yu Chigong is the governor of the South Yamen, the Duke of Baoguo - Duan Zhixuan is the deputy governor, the Duke of Zou - Zhang Gongjin is the chief history. The king of Hejian - Li Xiaogong is the governor of the North Yamen, and the king of Jiangxia - Li Daozong As the governor, Li Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, was the chief envoy.

In addition, the speed of the various parts of the verification is too slow. According to my opinion, the crown prince will lead, and Wu Wang and Qi Wang will assist him. It must be completed within one and a half months. "

Hiss, after hearing the emperor's decree, all the important officials in the palace took a breath. Not only did the emperor have higher requirements on speed, but he even asked him to go through the sieve himself to make sure nothing would go wrong. Among the princes, the three princes who are good at military affairs are appointed by the supervisor. This, this is too strict!
However, Fang and Du are the most relaxed people in the palace. They have been in charge of military affairs for many years, and they are familiar with each other. If you want to be a prime minister in the court, you can't offend everyone!
The emperor's decree is actually to help them out of the siege, and it is an expression of distress for them. The kings of all dynasties, who would consider these things for their courtiers, how can such kindness not warm the hearts of these old brothers! ! ! .
