Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 132 Set up the Gaoyang Protectorate and appoint Song Hongzhi! 【Ask monthly ticket】

Marquis is already the highest title that Wei can obtain now.

And the champion means to win the three armies bravely.

In Chengtian Hall, almost everyone can see that His Majesty attaches great importance to Uncle Xiaoguo.

Otherwise, how could this title be given?Obviously high hopes.

Below, Song Hongzhi heard Wei Yunyi's words.

His dazed eyes also became firm. He took a deep breath, stopped hesitating, and said seriously: "My minister, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Although he was also very puzzled, why did the emperor's brother-in-law directly designate himself a Marquis.

But now the emperor's brother-in-law personally made the order, so of course he couldn't choose to refuse.

At the same time, Song Hongzhi also thought of it.

maybe.

This is also the emperor's brother-in-law, how about admitting his military talents?

The position of marquis, with his current achievements, is indeed a bit out of reach.

But he is still young, and there are plenty of opportunities in the future. As long as he can keep fighting and winning, how can he not be worthy of the title of champion?

So Song Hongzhi accepted the imperial decree, and his expression became extremely serious.

After seeing this scene, the lieutenants of Liaozhen in the back were also a little shocked.

But more, is to look forward to.

The country was destroyed in this battle, and His Majesty rewarded the general with a marquis directly.

As a lieutenant general, although his contribution is not higher than that of the commander in chief, he will definitely not be inferior in the rewards for meritorious deeds later on. Not to mention the promotion of official positions, but titles and the like, he will definitely not be able to escape.

In Chengtian Palace, the ministers did not speak, but just watched what happened before them.

Uncle Xiao Guo was directly conferred the title of Marquis, which was indeed beyond their expectations.

It's just that His Majesty has already decided.

They didn't say much, because they knew it was impossible to make His Majesty change his mind.

at the same time.

Wei Yunyi on the dragon chair nodded when he saw his brother-in-law accepting the imperial decree, and then continued: "The battle of Gaoyang Kingdom has been a complete victory, to praise our great Wei, all soldiers must be concerned about their merits. "

"In this way, the cabinet and the Ministry of War will draw up a list of rewards, which will be submitted to me for review after completion."

"Remember, all the soldiers in this battle will be greatly rewarded, and they must not be stingy."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Below, the cabinet scholars heard the words.

They all came out without any comments.

Of course, they also understood that the key to this travel reward list is to be different from the previous ones, and the specifications should be higher.

After all, the coach Song Hongzhi was directly named a marquis, so the cabinet naturally had to pay more attention.

Especially now that His Majesty seems to attach great importance to it, let alone be sloppy.

Immediately, everyone retreated, only Lin Yuansong, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not return to his throne. After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, in this chapter, Gaoping City was destroyed and Gaoyang Kingdom was destroyed. Now King Li Chengbing and Crown Prince Li Zai of Gaoyang, And how should the Gaoyang royal family deal with it?"

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers present became energetic.

Now Gaoyang Kingdom is destroyed.

Obviously, the territory naturally completely belonged to Wei.

So now they are most concerned about two things.

First of all, what will His Majesty do with the territories of Gaoyang Kingdom, and what will be done with the Gaoyang royal family.

This is related to the national policy of the future imperial court, and they must understand it clearly.

After all, Gaoyang Country is not a barren land.

There are various rich soil and water resources.

It is completely different from the grasslands in the northwest and beyond the north.

In addition, it has been deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture from ancient times to the present, so it is of great benefit to be included in the territory of the Great Wei.

And there is another reason why the ministers are so concerned, that is, the territory of Gaoyang Kingdom may be pitifully small compared with the Great Wei, but if it is only compared with the territory, it is quite large.

As long as His Majesty includes it in the territory, he must send someone to manage it, that is, there must be a chief official.

After all, it is impossible for the Liaozhen garrison to stay in Gaoping City all the time and control the affairs there, right?

Soldiers are always inferior to civilian officials.

And as long as someone is sent to Gaoyang to become the chief officer.

In the early stage, that would inevitably put politics and military affairs in the hands of one person.Because there is no other place than the Great Wei, it is the original land of Gaoyang Kingdom, who knows if there will be a rebellion?
Therefore, it is quite necessary and necessary for the chief officer to hold military and political power.

And in this way, the chief officer who was sent to Gaoyang Kingdom.

It can be called the big official of the frontier.

Even if the rank is not high, the power is very great, even if it is against the first-rank officials of the imperial court, it is completely worthy.

Now, the courtiers just want to know who His Majesty will send to Gaoyang.

On the dragon chair, Wei Yunyi heard those words.

A little lost in thought.

But fortunately, he had already thought about this matter, so he said directly: "Li Chengbing and the rest of the Gaoyang royal family offended my Wei Majesty. It was an unforgivable crime, but my Great Wei, the lord of the Central Plains, Don't worry about it, the death penalty will be exempted."

"I pass on the imperial order. From today on, the name of King Li Chengbing will be removed, and he will be demoted to Duke Gaoyang. Let him live in the capital for the rest of his life."

"As for the royal family of Gaoyang, they will all lose their nobility. As for how to arrange it, the cabinet will handle it."

Since Gaoyang became a vassal, every Gaoyang king ascended the throne.

All need to be recognized and bestowed by the Great Wei Emperor.

Therefore, the status of King Gaoyang, if placed in the Wei court, would be equivalent to a prince.

Of course, if you want to compare with the prince of Wei, he will still be a lot shorter.

But now, Wei Yunyi has directly demoted Li Chengbing, the former King of Gaoyang, to Duke Gaoyang. In other words, he has been demoted from a prince to a duke.

Although the title is also very high, but was left in the capital.In addition, he is the king of the kingdom, so his status is even lower, so he just has a name in vain.

If it is power, I am afraid that it is not as good as an ordinary official in Dawei.

This means that a king who once owned a territory now directly loses everything.

Being raised in the capital is also equivalent to confinement in disguise.

But those Gaoyang royal family.

Wei Yunyi didn't think about it at all. As the emperor, he didn't need to think so carefully, he just let the cabinet handle it.

Below, Lin Yuansong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, nodded slightly after hearing the words, thinking that this treatment was very normal.

Although it was Gao Yang who launched the attack before, but now the country has been destroyed, and even the king has been sent to the capital.

This kind of thing, in the past dynasties, the emperor would not directly kill it.

Unless there is a blood feud between the two sides.

But obviously.

Gao Yang didn't do this step at all.

Putting Li Chengbing in the capital actually had a pretty good ending, otherwise he would be sent to a certain bitter cold place, and he would be close to death.Here, at least there is food and drink available.

However, Lin Yuansong did not speak at the moment, and still stood where he was.

At this time, the ministers around me began to feel a little nervous,

After dealing with King Gaoyang, the next step is the territory of Gaoyang Kingdom.

Wei Yunyi on the dragon chair.

Naturally, I also understand what these ministers are thinking.

There is indeed a lot of people thinking about having an extra territory.

Especially the cabinet, because in the eyes of the cabinet, this extra territory has a great effect, such as taxation, fields and so on.

Of course, all of this depends on how the emperor himself handles it.

And Wei Yunyi already had an idea about this.

At this moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "The land of Gaoyang was won by our soldiers of the Great Wei through bloody battles, so I decided to revoke the name of Gaoyang as a country and set up the Gaoyang Capital Protectorate. Formally included in my land of Great Wei."

"As for the candidate for Gao Yang Duhu, I have already considered it, let the champion Hou take over temporarily!"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present widened their eyes and showed incredible expressions.

Even Song Hongzhi was full of confusion, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

The establishment of the Gaoyang Protectorate was expected by the minister.

Because, although Gao Yang has already been destroyed.

But it is different from Jiangnan, Northwest, and even the North.

The people of Gaoyang don't really recognize the Great Wei court in their hearts. Therefore, there must be a chief officer with military and political power to manage it.Instead of allowing the imperial court to directly govern, and then completely transplant the policies of various governments in various places, because if this is done, the people of Gaoyang will definitely not be able to accept it for a while.

It is necessary to set up the Protectorate's Mansion to have a certain degree of autonomy within the limits of the imperial court.

This has been done throughout the ages.

And when this place, due to the influence of the Central Plains and other places, fully approved the imperial court, then revoked the Duhufu.

But all the ministers present did not expect at all that the candidate for Gao Yang's guard would be Uncle Xiaoguo
Indeed, after the Battle of Gaoyang.

Song Hongzhi's military talent has been recognized by most people.

But that's about it.

As the saying goes, military generals Anbang, civil servants rule the country.

If you want to become a party chief, the most important thing is to have governance and political talents.

After all, governing a place requires various means, not just relying on fighting.

Especially now, Gaoyang Kingdom has just been destroyed, and urgently needs a minister with ability to appease the hearts of the people.

If it is said that Song Hongzhi has a reputation in the imperial examination, after all, he has a reputation in the imperial examination, which means that he must have some means of governing the local area. With his own achievements, it is not a big problem to be appointed as the guardian of Gaoyang.

But this little country uncle doesn't have it.

If he is allowed to abbot the military and political power of Gaoyang Dufu Mansion.
The ministers present could hardly imagine what would happen.

Even Zhang Zhengming couldn't help frowning, full of doubts in his heart.

But he didn't stand up at this moment, but was thinking about the significance of His Majesty's move.

What about Song Gongwen?

There was already a huge wave in my heart.

It doesn't matter if the son is named Marquis, but now he actually wants to control a party.

It should be known that once the Gaoyang Protectorate is established, its status will surpass that of other prefectures, and the person in charge will be the chief official of the frontier.
Song Gongwen thought that it was amazing enough for him to be promoted to the second rank of the cabinet at the beginning, but compared to his son, it seemed to be worse.
Of course, the shock was shocking, and in his mind, he was also thinking about why His Majesty would do this.

However, the teacher and the student did not speak in the court.

It does not mean that other ministers will be silent.

a time.

Those ministers spoke one after another, thinking that this matter was inappropriate.

Even the imperial censor stood up. Uncle Xiaoguo was conferred the title of Marquis, so he didn't have to say anything. After all, it was a feat of destroying the country, but it was different if he was appointed as the guardian of Gaoyang.

So all are fiery, expounding their own opinions.

And above.

Wei Yunyi had already anticipated this situation.

But obviously, the objections of the courtiers could not change his mind, he just said: "You don't need to say more, I have already decided on this matter. The champion Hou is the commander of the Gaoyang battle. Ren Duhu should also be."

Yes, Wei Yunyi had made a plan from the very beginning.

Sealed my brother-in-law as the champion, and then served as the guardian of Gaoyang.

Because he has now admitted.

The opponent's military talent is definitely quite terrifying, otherwise how could it be possible to directly destroy the country in the first battle?

It's almost directly comparable to a certain Huo.

But in Wei Yunyi's eyes, that's all.

What about military prowess?
Can you rule the country?

It's just that the war is fierce. What if you were asked to govern the people of one side?Can you still do it?
Therefore, the idea of ​​letting Gao Yang protect my brother-in-law spontaneously arose in Wei Yunyi's mind.

After all, fighting a war is completely different from running a country.

Although there is no shortage of civil and military talents in all dynasties.

But how many are there?
not much!

And it's less likely.

There may be a few examples of civil servants transferred to military generals, but few examples of military generals transferred to civilian officials.Because it is not easy to achieve one of them, if you can have both, you can be called a genius.

As for the position of Gaoyang Duhu, not only to lead the army, but also to govern the local area and appease the hearts of the people.

Wei Yunyi knew his brother-in-law too well.

With an impatient temper, no fame, and no books on sages, asking him to do this kind of thing must be exhausting.

In this way, the brother-in-law can be directly restricted from continuing to lead the army to fight, and the possibility of backstabbing himself is lost.

And more importantly, once the opponent is unable to manage Gao Yang well.

Then Gao Yang will become an unstable factor.

Then it affected the luck of Wei.

It can be said that this decision is absolutely killing two birds with one stone.

Thoughts so far.

Wei Yunyi turned his head, looked at his brother-in-law below, and continued, "Champion Hou, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Song Hongzhi's eyes were still a little dazed. The emperor's brother-in-law knew that he only had military talents, so why did he let him serve as the guard of Gaoyang?
At this moment, his heart is full of doubts and he doesn't understand at all.But I also know that now is not the time to talk nonsense, so I hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "My minister, please follow His Majesty's arrangement!"

on the dragon chair.

Looking at his brother-in-law's blank eyes, Wei Yunyi became more and more happy.

Yes, that's what you want.

The more confused the other party is, the more it proves that the decision is more correct.

In particular, he has already decided in his heart that after the meeting, he will not see his brother-in-law, let him rest for a few days, and then go directly to his post!
Immediately, Wei Yunyi stood up again, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, very good, you are indeed worthy of being the champion of my great Wei. Gao Yang is handed over to you, and I feel very at ease."

　I owe a thousand words today, and I will make up for it tomorrow!
