Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 567

"I think you can help Wang Shichong. This man is quite capable and very good at pleasing the emperor. If you help him, he will also remember this. Besides, Li Yuan is your uncle, so it is not a bad thing to let him go to Huainan. "Wei Zheng took a sip of shochu, and put another bean into his mouth, feeling a little satisfied.

Wei Zheng's words moved Luo Cheng's heart.

Li Yuan.

Although he has always been wary of Li Yuan, he feels that the Li family and his son are not of the same mind, but letting Li Yuan come to Huainan is no worse than him in Jiangnan. Dao level envoy.

As Wei Zheng said, in any case, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuan and him are both related by marriage, so if you give him a hand at this time, it will also strengthen your alliance.

After all, although Yu Wenshu was driven to Yunnan, he did not just fall down. The Yuwen family still had a strong influence in the court, especially when Luo Yi told him that the two prime ministers, Pei Yun and Yu Shiji, hated their Luo family very much.

Luo Yi had to go to Cochin this time, and without the support of the prime minister in the court, it is not known how it will change in the future.

"The minister has an audience with the Supreme."

Luo Cheng enters the hall and salutes.

Today the emperor did not wear a nine-pronged pearl crown on his head, nor did he wear the ceremonial gown with the upper part and lower part. He only wore a black scarf and a bright yellow dragon robe.

The emperor smiled and said, "Get up."

There are several other prime ministers in the hall, six prime ministers, and now Yu Wenshu has been removed from the title of counselor, and Luo Yi is about to be removed, but he was still summoned today, but Yu Wenshu was not. Come.

In addition to the five prime ministers, there is also a middle-aged man who is tall and elegant.

"This is Xiao Yu, the younger brother of the Empress. I have already appointed him as the Minister of Internal History and added the title of Zhizheng Shi." The emperor introduced him.

Luo Cheng thought it was this person, he was the younger brother of Empress Xiao, the seventh son of Emperor Ming of Later Liang, and the half brother of Emperor Jing of Liang Xiao Cong.When he was seven years old, he was crowned king in Houliang, and later his sister married Yang Guang, and he followed him to Chang'an. It can be said that he grew up with his sister, and Yang Guang watched him grow up.

Originally, Yang Guang treated him very well, but Xiao Yu was a straightforward person, and he had to say what he didn't like, and he often spoke out and admonished him, which made Yang Guang very unhappy, and demoted him to the local government several times.

This time the emperor released the two prime ministers Yu Wenshu and Luo Yi successively, so he recalled the brother-in-law back to the court and gave him the post of prime minister.

In fact, Yang Guang had also appointed his brother-in-law Xiao Cong as prime minister before, but it was not an actual conferment. After all, Xiao Cong had been an emperor before, but he was just pulling it out to put on a show to appease the people of Houliang in the land of Jingxiang.Later, when the throne was firmly established, Xiao Cong was quickly kicked out.

But to Xiao Yu, Yang Guang is different from Xiao Cong. After all, this person grew up beside him, and has never been an emperor, let alone has any affection for Xiliang.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao is honest and outspoken, and I admire him very much." Luo Cheng cupped his hands.

Xiao Yu also looked at Luo Cheng, this was the first time the two met, but Xiao Yu obviously had a good impression of Luo Cheng, "Luo Shuai's destruction of Goguryeo for the imperial court is an unrivaled achievement, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, and I don't know that I will suffer What a loss."

He smiled and said, "If Luo Shuai wasn't too young, he would actually be suitable to enter the court as Minister of the Ministry of War."

Luo Cheng quickly waved his hand. He really has no interest in being Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War and the division of power between the Twelve Guards and the Four Mansions are too chaotic, and there is nothing to be a Minister of War.

At this time, Yang Guang returned to the throne and sat down.

"Luo Cheng, I have thought about the real way that you proposed to me before. After thinking about it for a long time and discussing with you, I think it is feasible. I called you here today because I want you to participate in the discussion on how to divide the way and the mission. Specific matters."

Luo Cheng was just a stay-at-home person, and he was still in the capital, but now he was able to enter the palace to discuss matters with the prime ministers, which was simply an exception.

Yu Shiji laughed.

"Father and son of the Luo family discuss affairs together in the hall, and it is a good name through the ages to spread the word."

Luo Cheng smiled at this treacherous official. This guy is the best at flattering horses, and his pen is really good. Not only can he be called a contemporary master, but this article is well written.

Luo Cheng doesn't like this kind of person, but he doesn't want to offend him, as long as he doesn't provoke him too much, Luo Cheng doesn't want to touch him either.

After all, villains are hard to mess with.

"I think that the thirteen ways are feasible, but the Jiedushi is unnecessary." Yu Shiji said bluntly.His argument was that the Jiedushi had too much power. After all, according to Luo Cheng's suggestion, this Jiedushi was actually the former envoy and governor, or the chief executive in the early Sui Dynasty.Even high officials like observer envoys and appeasement envoys have to be restrained by Jiedu envoys.

And Pei Yun also spoke out.

"I also think that the thirteen ways can be set up, but the Jiedushi is not necessary, and even the appeasement envoy and the observation envoy can be set up."

However, Pei Shiju said that it is better to set up a governor and prefect in the border counties according to the past system to lead the military administration.Or in a critical place, a capital supervises the soldiers of several counties.But at the Dao level, there is no higher Jiedushi in command of the military and government, but the governors and governors are under the jurisdiction of the appeasement envoys.

For example, in Hebei, Henan and Hedong, there is absolutely no need to set up a governor in Henan Province, but in Hebei Province, you can set up a governor in Zhuojun to command the military of the four counties of Zhuojun, Yuyang, Beiping, and Shanggu.As for Hedong Road, a governor of Mayi or a governor of Yanmen can be established.

These prime ministers all opposed the establishment of Jiedushi, a local military commander who could rule more than a dozen or twenty counties, and believed that the future might not be lost.

Even Pei Yun directly said that there is no need to keep the post of staying behind, and it can be abolished together.

"Luo Cheng, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the words of the prime ministers are mature and prudent, and they are very prudent. However, the country's decision-making should also be in line with the situation. In the past, the expedition was led by the chief of the army and the general. Leading troops to fight against the army, Rong Ping will return the division, and there is no long-term town. The borderlands are in the frontiers. Although there are military towns, but after all, our government has a military system.

In the past, the Great Sui was powerful and no one dared to invade the frontier. Now, although the Great Sui is still strong, the imperial court has expanded the territory for many years. Now the east has penetrated into Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula, and the north has also controlled the Hetao Plain. In the south, the Sui Dynasty was not only as far away as Jiaozhi, but now it was going to re-enter the land of Central South. In the west, after the destruction of Tuyuhun, the imperial court established four counties there, and planned to enter the Western Regions in the future. "

"Your Majesty, the east, west, north, south, and all directions have now expanded to the extreme. It is thousands of miles away from the heart of the Central Plains. The situation at the border is severe. Liaodong and Goguryeo may have a risk of rebellion at any time, so a large army must be stationed to guard it. Step by step continuous coercion can completely annex Goguryeo."

"Northwest Tuyuhun has been destroyed for several years, but the rebellion has not stopped until now, so the permanent army must also be stable."
