Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

The post of supervising the army existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

At the very beginning, Duke Jing of Qi took Sima Rangju as his general and entrusted Zhuang Jia to supervise the army.

This is because Rangju felt that his prestige was not enough, so he asked Qi Jinggong to send his confidants to help stabilize the morale of the army.

This can be regarded as the supervising army requested by oneself.

Later, in the Han Dynasty and the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were also envoys to supervise the army.

From then on, the supervising army began to change from assisting to supervising the general on behalf of the lord.

But during this period, the military supervisors were still temporary errands.

After Wu Zetian, the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty began to use eunuchs to supervise the army.

It was also since then that the military supervisor became a permanent position for the first time.

Later, there were supervisors in all dynasties, sometimes permanent, sometimes dispatched temporarily, and so on.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, Taizu had a very high reputation, and there was no supervising army in the army.

Because the person who can control the military power is the confidant of Taizu.

In the period of Emperor Tiantai, the supervising army would be temporarily sent to accompany each expedition.

However, no supervisors have been dispatched to guard the frontier.

Until Emperor Jingshun ascended the throne, Longlin Guard reported that the situation in the frontier began to deteriorate.

It was the first time that he dispatched a military supervisor to control the nine provinces, and was ordered to patrol the border.

Now Li Shouzhong proposes to send a supervising army to supervise Wang Ziteng's army.

This made all the officials dumbfounded, and all the military officials gritted their teeth.

Even though the upstart wanted to restrain Wang Ziteng more, he didn't want to have many constraints in leading his own troops in the future.

Therefore, most of their eyes flickered, but no one echoed for a while.

But the response from the founding group was particularly severe.

"exactly!"

Jiang Zining also came out to help at this time, bowed to Majesty Dan, and said loudly:
"If you send people to patrol the border, and there are Ke Dao supervisors, who will you listen to at the critical moment?"

Anyone who leads troops to fight, who doesn't bother to have a layman by his side?
It's all right now, the supervising army who is ordered to patrol the border has to be followed by the supervising army.

What about this doll?
When Ke Dao heard this, he immediately became a little unhappy, and someone stepped forward and said:
"Military affairs are up to him. Ke Dao supervises the army, but he is only responsible for supervising and recording."

When they said this, they didn't believe it themselves.

For all civil servants, who doesn't yearn to use literature to control military affairs?

Many scholars feel that they are Yue Wumu after reading two military books.

"Hehe! That's easy to say!"

Chen Ruiwen squinted at the man and asked:

"Don't you know that in the Song Dynasty, the military was controlled by literature, which made the army weak and vulnerable to bullying?"

Ke Dao said that the officers and soldiers will definitely not work, but how could they lose in professionalism?

Hearing that, the man immediately sneered and said:

"If General Chen said that, he didn't know that there was no one in the martial arts world, and that was the reason for the Anshi Rebellion?"

"..."

In the final analysis, Chen Ruiwen is just honorable.

Although he is not as ignorant as Jia She, his understanding of history is limited after all.

And no matter what the Kodao speaker was, he was a Jinshi.

In addition, there is a specialization in the art industry.

How can Chen Ruiwen be an opponent of the censor who specializes in talking?

Seeing that Chen Ruiwen raised his hand, he seemed to want to solve it by force.

The waiter officer hurriedly shouted:
"quiet!"

Many people were a little disappointed to see him letting go.

Yuan Chun, who was behind the bead curtain, sighed secretly, followed the same routine again, and asked:
"What do you elders and the Marquis of Chu think?"

This time, Jia Yucun consciously understood what Yuan Chun meant, and immediately stepped forward and said:
"I feel that if you want to send someone to supervise the army, you can also use the servant."

Obviously, this is an irony in support of not having to supervise the army.

Because his proposal immediately received unanimous siege.

"No!"

"How can eunuchs interfere in politics?"

"The empress dowager must not!"

"Old Jia Ge, don't want to harm the country with one thought!"

"..."

When they heard that eunuchs were to be used, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty changed their expressions.

No matter which faction the officials reached an agreement immediately, they all spoke out against it.

At this time, Jia Yucun continued unhurriedly:
"Since all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are opposed to the internal servants and supervisors, it is better to 'do not doubt the employment, and do not use the suspect'."

He was once recommended by Wang Ziteng to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Now it is attached to Wang Ziteng's niece, the queen mother who is currently listening to politics behind the curtain.

Therefore, apart from guessing that Yuanchun wanted to use Wang Ziteng, Jia Yucun was also reciprocating, expressing that he had not forgotten his roots.

Yuan Chun saw that he could only speak a few words, so he played with all the officials in his hands.

He couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled, but in order to maintain the majesty of the queen mother, he insisted on not laughing out loud.

Then, holding back her smile, she turned sideways and asked:

"What does the Marquis of Chu mean?"

Feng Yibo hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I think it's better to let Mr. Wang patrol the border by order."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials were puzzled.

Everyone knows that the opinion of this young elder is important, but isn't it the same as saying nothing?
What is being discussed now is whether or not it is necessary for Wang Ziteng to go to the frontier to send people to supervise the army.

You said that he was ordered to patrol the border, isn't that going back to the previous topic?
Even Li Shouzhong was a little surprised at this moment, and looked at his apprentice suspiciously.

Only one person came to his senses and looked at Feng Yibo appreciatively.

This person is Chen Qinzhi, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Yuan Chun listened to Feng Yibo in everything, but this time she didn't understand either.

Without waiting for others to ask, she heard her ask behind the bead curtain:

"Did the Marquis of Chu say that there will be no supervisory army?"

She felt that what Feng Yibo meant was to let Wang Ziteng patrol the border by himself, without setting up a supervising army.

But Feng Yibo shook his head when he heard the words, and then bowed to Bi Dan:

"If you go back to the queen mother, there will be no nine provinces to rule."

As soon as these words came out, Manchao Wenwu was even more confused.

Only Chen Qinyi looked "as expected", nodded with a smile and said:
"It's strange that the Empress Dowager trusts her so much, the Marquis of Chu is really a talented person in the country!"

"Chang can always come up with a clever trick, and everything can be easily solved when it comes to you!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it, how could a few words of "nonsense" become the talents of the country?

You can't blow it so hard, can you?
Especially the officials who are eager to try, they have the power to gossip, and they are never shy about expressing their opinions.

At this time, a censor asked dissatisfied:
"Mr. Chen Ge's praise is rare, and it is really enviable, but how did the Marquis of Chu come up with such a clever trick? Wouldn't the establishment of nine provinces be the country's talents?"

Chen Qinzhi smiled meaningfully when he heard the words, and said:

"The control of the nine provinces is a temporary errand, so let Wang Ziteng follow the order and go directly to patrol the border."

It's a long story, and it started from the time of Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei, there was actually no concept of nine sides.

After the recovery of the Northland, the talented and bold Emperor Taizu followed the direction of the Great Wall and initially set up four towns: Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Yansui.

After that, the three dynasties followed this example and successively added five towns, Ningxia, Gansu, Jizhen, Shanxi, and Guyuan.

This formed the current Jiudabian Town, commonly known as Jiubian.

Strictly speaking, Zhenguo Gong Niuqing has never been in charge of Nine Sides.

He was the commander-in-chief of the six towns in the late Taizu period.

That is to say, when the nine sides were not formed, he was in charge of the frontier.

As for the control of the nine provinces, there was also the inspection of the nine provinces later.

These two positions were specially tailored by Emperor Jingshun for Prince Teng.

To put it bluntly, I just don't want to give him a fixed position like "Nine Towns Chief Military Officer".

Instead, he was given the title of patrolling the border by order.

So strictly speaking, these two positions are not official positions.

It can only be regarded as an imperial envoy.

It also represents the emperor to inspect the nine borders and supervise the temporary dispatch of the military.

To be honest, this is actually the Supervising Army.

It's just that a mere imperial envoy cannot be exchanged for Wang Ziteng's resignation as the military envoy of the Beijing camp.

Therefore, Emperor Jingshun set a level for this errand.

The rule of the nine provinces is from the second rank, which happens to be one level higher than the Jingying Jiedushi.

In this way, it is a reward to Wang Ziteng for handing over the Beijing camp.

Later, all nine provinces were inspected, especially from Yipin.

This is to reward him for his contribution, so that Wang Ziteng was promoted two levels in a row.

But only Wang Ziteng has done these two jobs.

So it is still a special existence that can be regarded as an imperial envoy or a real job.

If Wang Ziteng can continue in this position, then this job will gradually become a routine.

That is to form a fixed position.

It's a pity that Emperor Jingshun won't let this position be fixed because he has made such a big circle.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be "the black blind man breaks the corn", breaking one ear and throwing another ear?
Wang Ziteng actually understood this truth, but he had no choice.

At that time, the struggle between the old and new parties was coming to an end, and he knew that Emperor Jingshun would free up his hands next to deal with the Jianguo faction.

The military power of the Beijing Camp has always been directly under the emperor.

The founding line that is in charge of the capital now is ambiguous between Emperor Jingshun and Emperor Tiantai.

It is even more biased towards Emperor Tiantai, the Supreme Emperor.

Such a situation that endangers oneself is not allowed by any emperor.

Wang Ziteng knew clearly that even if he did not surrender, sooner or later Emperor Jingshun would deprive him of the rule of the capital.

Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack, maybe breaking into another world.

So he took the initiative to seek refuge, and Emperor Jingshun reciprocated.

Emperor Jingshun knew that he would definitely do his best in Jiubian, and Wang Ziteng also wanted to seize this opportunity.

If this thing is done well, it may be a win-win situation.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ziteng is operating crazily while making drastic moves in Liaodong.

In fact, it is to stabilize the position and at the same time lay the foundation there.

Unfortunately, the more he did this, the more excuses he gave Emperor Jingshun.

After he stabilized the situation in the frontier, Emperor Jingshun directly used a move to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Bringing up the matter of border pay that had been investigated long ago, drove Wang Ziteng to a desperate situation.

Wang Ziteng almost wanted to hold his own, but it was a pity that he missed a move in the end.

After all, he was patrolling the border according to the order, and another imperial order would deprive him of his military power.

In fact, Qiu Luan, who later replaced him, was also an errand of the nine provinces.

Obviously, Emperor Jingshun didn't intend to let him stay for a long time.

It's a pity that Qiu Luan has not waited for any mistakes or omissions.

Emperor Jingshun took the first step.

Perhaps, there is God's will in the dark.

The death of Emperor Jingshun, in disguise, became a signal for Qiu Luan to step down.

Now Feng Yibo has proposed to cancel this position, and let Wang Ziteng only patrol the border as an imperial envoy.

Speaking of it, it can be regarded as inheriting the will of Emperor Jingshun to a certain extent.

Chen Qinzhi was the second assistant of the cabinet in the Jingshun dynasty, and he was once the emperor's teacher.

He naturally knew a lot about Emperor Jingshun's twists and turns.

Because of this, when he heard Feng Yibo's words, he would cast admiring glances.

Following his explanation, many people in the court showed sudden expressions.

He obviously understood the ingenuity of Feng Yibo's move.

It seems that the control of nine provinces is just turned into imperial patrols, but there are too many involved.

Both the founding lineage and the upstarts looked a bit unhappy.

Fortunately, the upstart didn't say anything when he knew he was hopeless.

But after the Kaiguo group discussed in a low voice, someone immediately stepped forward and said:
"Although the nine sides are far apart, they are one. The first emperor established the control of the nine provinces to facilitate overall planning. This move by the Marquis of Chu is tantamount to dividing the nine sides. When the time comes, each will fight. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

I have to say that this question is very well asked.

But he obviously got it a little wrong.

That is, Emperor Jingshun's original intention.

When Chen Qinzhi heard this, he smiled and said:
"The first emperor set up the nine provinces to rule, which was originally a temporary errand, not to mention the imperial envoy patrolling the border to represent His Majesty, who also has the responsibility of overall planning, why do we fight on our own?"

To put it bluntly, the governors of the nine provinces have high positions, and the imperial envoys are only sent temporarily to patrol the border.

The difference between the two is not power, but power.

If the nine provinces are ruled, or if all nine provinces are inspected and become a rule, it is equivalent to two more top military officers, and they are all first- and second-rank officials.

With such power, the right to speak in the court is also a bit more.

For Wu Xun, this is naturally a great thing.

As for the imperial envoys sent temporarily, the emperor can set the deadline at will, and can also recall them at any time.

You can also use literature to control military affairs and use eunuchs to patrol.

This is not a good thing for Wu Xun.

Although Yuan Chun was born in the government of the state, he was in power after all.

She didn't know much about it yet.

"Since both the Marquis of Chu and Elder Chen Gel think that this is feasible, they will issue an order accordingly, recruiting Prince Teng as an imperial envoy to lead His Majesty to tour the Nine Sides."

Obviously, a little knowledge does not prevent her from making a decision.

"Think twice, Queen Mother!"

Jiang Zining stepped forward angrily, glared at Feng Yibo, and said:

"This move will undoubtedly affect the stability of the Nine Sides. Even if Mr. Wang goes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Feng Yibo also bowed to Bi Dan, and said in return:
"Are you questioning Mr. Wang's ability, or is he questioning Mr. Wang's reputation?"

If it is someone else, who does not have the position of controlling the nine provinces, and only relies on the title of imperial envoy, it is still uncertain whether they can persuade the nine sides.

Wang Ziteng has been running the border area for a long time, even if Qiu Luan takes over, it will be difficult to completely eliminate it for a while.

If it wasn't for the Japanese invasion of Goryeo, Qiu Luan wouldn't have had any decent results.

That is, the matter of reparations excited the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, and they all felt that they could drink some soup along with them.

Otherwise, even if Wang Ziteng goes to the field, he may speak better than Qiu Luan.

At this moment, Chen Ruiwen also stepped forward to chime in, growling:

"Marquis of Chu, you are also related to the founder of the country, why did you put Lord Wang in danger?"

The voice was not loud, only the boss in front heard it.

In fact, this was also for Yuan Chun.

Your uncle lost the control of the nine provinces, so it may not be easy to go there, do you still support it?

Feng Yibo naturally understood his little thoughts, and said with some disdain:

"Are you questioning the imperial envoy, or His Majesty?"

Chen Ruiwen glared, almost pointing at his nose and saying:
"I'm questioning you!"

Seeing this, Feng Yibo didn't feel disobedient at all, and said with a smile:
"I see. What do you mean, let Captain Qiu continue to stay in the border area?"

"you!"

When Chen Ruiwen heard this, his face turned red from being suppressed.

Seeing that he was still pointing at himself, Feng Yibo raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems that General Chen also agrees, and there must be many people supporting this proposal."

These words are very threatening, but they are also very effective.

When Chen Ruiwen heard the words, he couldn't help but look at the upstart who was eager to try.

He understood that Feng Yibo would really bring it up if the Jianguo lineage continued to be entangled.

These upstarts will not let go of this opportunity.

What if the queen mother supports Feng Yuan again...

In order to pick up sesame seeds, the founding lineage threw a big watermelon, which is really not worth it.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, and they were awkward in place.

Seeing this, Yuan Chun immediately said while the iron was hot:
"Okay, this matter is settled like this, let's move on to the next topic."

The attendant officer next to him also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said loudly:

"Follow the Queen Mother's order and move on to the next item!"
