Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 663 Arrangement of civil and military forces
Compared with treacherous ministers and thieves who have the heart of disobedience, cronies are the greatest disaster to the country.

Now Li Qingwei has divided the situation in the court very carefully. The civil servants have been divided into the "Li Family's Old Ministers School" represented by Li Qing'an, the "Old and Honored School" represented by Zhuge Qingyun, and the "Great Song and Qing School" represented by Song Ci. ".

Under Li Qingwei's arrangement, these three forces constrained each other.

Most of the members of the old ministers of the Li family were native Luoyang clans and old Mongolian bureaucrats.Most of them occupy important positions in the household department. The characteristic of these people is that they have little ability, and they only get this high position thanks to the royal family's attention.

Not only were they not liquidated, but they also turned into the "important ministers" of Datang.Therefore, if you want to keep your position, you must be loyal to the royal family.Because they lost the protection of the royal family, they will be liquidated by other people. To put it bluntly, these people are the "dogs" raised by the royal family.

The veteran Xungui sect is the old team of Li Qingwei who founded the country. These people are loyal to Li Qingwei based on their admiration for Li Qingwei's recovery of the country.To be more precise, these people are loyal to Li Qingwei out of "personality cult".As for Li Qingwei after a hundred years, it's hard to say.

And these people look down on those "old Mongolian bureaucrats" of the Li family.I feel that this group of people are "dog traitors" who took advantage of the emperor's father and brother and took the opportunity to surrender.It is not worthy to work with them in the same court.Although the two factions have not broken out in direct conflict, they are definitely not united.

As for the last Great Song and Qing sect, it is quite special. The characteristic of this group of people is that they are "unfamiliar with the place of life", and they cannot integrate into any of the two major factions.

In the eyes of the "Old Ministers", these people were the "Southern Barbarians" from the south.The "bumps" from the countryside.A few hundred rings away, the "smelly place" who came to Datang to beg for food.A thorn in the side of their "fish and meat people".

In the eyes of the "Old Veterans", the image of these people is "corrupt officials from the Song Dynasty", "incompetent iron waste" and "useless cowards".The important officials of the Yuan Lao faction are basically the people of the Southern Song Dynasty. They have had enough of the oppression of the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty on weekdays, and they also despise the Southern Song Dynasty for "a corner of peace". They were the ones who brought down the Tang Dynasty, and they were the Mongols. Those who chased away, they naturally despised these "Great Song officials" very much, and they naturally couldn't understand this group of people who were enjoying themselves.

What's more, most of the positions Li Qingwei arranged for these "Qingliu" were the most "offending" positions such as censor supervisors, so these two factions naturally rejected them even more.

And because this faction cannot be integrated into any faction, no one thinks they are pleasing to the eye, so they can only remain "neutral", and they can only be forced to be loyal to the emperor.

Loyal to the royal family, loyal to Li Qingwei personally, and loyal to the emperor.

As long as they don't become one, then Li Qingwei, the emperor, can sit back and relax.

And the same goes for military power.Li Qingwei also split into three forces.

The first group is the inner court guards and imperial guards.

These two core forces that defend the royal family and the imperial power are led by the "imperial concubine faction".

The post of Lang Zhongling, the chief guard of the inner court, is held by Duan Yunxian, but as Duan Yunxian's niece and subordinate of Lingjiu Palace, she is controlled by Duan Siying.Unless Duan Siying wanted to be the "Queen", the inner court guards would never betray her.

And even if Duan Siying "retires", then the next Lord of Vulture Palace will be Li Yuhan and Li Qingwei's wife.

Kaifeng's imperial guards were under the direct command of the emperor and Yang Chan.Without the authorization of Li Qingwei and Yang Chan, others have no right to transfer.Even the regent Li Qing'an.

And the second branch of military power is in the hands of people like Guo Jing who have no factional background.The official position Li Qingwei arranged for Guo Jing was Taiwei, who was in charge of all the military power in the country except the forbidden army, and he was granted the title of "Marshal of the Tianxia Supervising Recruiting Soldiers and Horses".No faction in the court can control him.But when Li Qingwei wanted to take back the general power, he could take it back.

The third group is the "Foreign Relatives School", the representatives of which are the Supreme Emperor Li Qinglong, Wang Ping and Yang Yong.All three are stakeholders of the Li family.One is a biological father, one is an uncle, and the other is a father-in-law.They have no reason to betray Li Qingwei.

What's more, the military generals have civil servants to provide logistics, and the prime minister Zhuge Qingyun can supervise them behind them.

Under Li Qingwei's intentional arrangement, an interesting cycle was formed.

Zhuge Qingyun can check and balance these generals, while the old officials can check and balance Zhuge Qingyun, and Qingliu censors can check and balance the old officials.Zhao Ke, Zhao Jue, a princess and a princess, can look down on these censors from the Song Dynasty with the face of a princess.

In the end, Yang Chan's imperial army was used as the hole card.

In the end, as long as Li Qingwei can control the five of Duan Siying, Zhao Ke, Zhao Jue, Su Yuan, and Yang Chan well, then he can manipulate everything from behind the scenes like a marionette.

In addition to the mutual checks and balances of the branch forces, Li Qingwei also knows that although Zhuge Qingyun is capable, he has no reputation, and he has no basis for usurping the throne "the hearts of the world".And the name is not justified.

Although Li Qinglong and Li Qing'an had identities, they did not have their own edict for passing on the throne, and they personally presided over the ceremony of passing on the throne.Zhuge Qingyun, the most powerful "veteran faction" in the court, will not obey them.Then the situation will get out of control.

Therefore, his father and brother have no ability to usurp the throne.

It is precisely because of the mutual checks and balances of the branches of the court, coupled with the understanding of those who have the ability to "usurp the throne".There are also two insurances for the court guards and imperial guards.

That's why Li Qingwei was so confident and lived in Lin'an City with peace of mind and didn't come back for a few months.

The world is like chess, and only he, Li Qingwei, is the real "chess player", and everyone else is "chess pieces" in his hands.

Whether you are an emperor or not, it doesn't matter which chair you sit on.

The one sitting on the dragon chair is not necessarily the emperor, only the one who controls the situation is the real emperor.

Just like Cao Cao and Emperor Xian, Sima Shi and Cao Fang, Sima Zhao and Cao Mao.

But Li Qingwei is stronger than these people, he can not only sit on that chair, but also control everything behind his back.

In the Regent's Palace, Li Guo sat beside her husband.

Li Qing'an drank a lot of wine last night and still hasn't woken up until now, while his sister-in-law Wan Yanping has been watching over him.

Wan Yanping knew that her brother-in-law was in a bad mood, and Li Guo didn't come home all night. Fortunately, Li Yuqiong had a nanny to take care of her, otherwise, she might really annoy Wan Yanping to death.

Wan Yanping has been by Li Guo's side for so long, and Li Guo didn't return all night yesterday, so she naturally knew what she was going to do.Not to mention seeing my sister's radiant face today.

It's just that the relationship between Li Qingwei and Li Guo is still somewhat unacceptable to Wan Yanping.

Although this kind of thing is commonplace in their golden court.

But she couldn't accept it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it. Who told her brother-in-law to fail, and she didn't blame her sister for "leaving the wall".Seeing Li Guo's pitiful dry face on weekdays, Wan Yanping really felt sorry for her.

Besides, Li Guo is essentially Li Qingwei, the only man she has, so she doesn't count as "leaving the wall".

Li Guo put her hand on Li Qingan's pulse, she sighed and said: "Drinking alcohol hurts the body."

Li Guo took out a silver needle and stuck it on her husband's body, using acupuncture to dispel Li Qing'an's alcohol smell.

Li Qing'an woke up faintly.
