Wei Ni

Chapter 26

The central military system of the Cao Wei regime consists of three parts.

One is the leader of the Central Army, the second is the Central Guard Army, and the third is the Xiaoqi and Guerrilla Generals.

Among them, the Xiaoqi generals and guerrilla generals who "lead the battalion and those with the most meritorious service" are not miscellaneous general positions in the foreign army of the former Han Dynasty, but leaders who have no dispatch or personnel authority in the Chinese (Forbidden) Army system and who lead troops to execute orders will rate.

And the leader of the army is the highest position.

Take control of Zhongba, Zhongjian, Wuwei Sanbattalion and Wuxiaowei Battalion (inherited from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which belonged to the Northern Army and was in charge of guarding the capital's Tunqi, Infantry, Yueqi, Changshui, and Shesheng Wuxiaowei).Shi Huan (Cao Cao's retainer), Xia Houyuan (temporary generation), Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang and others served respectively.

From the identities and origins of these people, it can be seen that the position of the leader of the Communist Party of China is very important.

In the 12th year of Jian'an (207), the positions of the Central Guard Army were established by Han Hao, Cao Hong, Wang Tu and others, and their authority was far lower than that of the Central Guard.

For example, in the 20th year of Jian'an (215), when Cao Cao attacked Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, the central guard was actually led by Qianzhao.

Leading the move is Liu Bei's "friend who cut the throat"!
And at that time, Liu Bei was already in the middle of Shu, and he had been spying on Hanzhong County for a long time!

With such a background as Qianzhao, he was able to serve in the Central Guard Army, which shows that the Central Guard Army's authority is very limited.

In fact, during the period of Wei Wu and Cao Cao, the function of the Central Guard Army was very single. It was only responsible for the "election of the main military officer", and it was completely an auxiliary position to cooperate with the Central Army.

The election of the central leader to lead the camp and the central guard military code were the so-called at that time.

However, after Wei Wen and Cao Pi, the power between the Central Leader and the Central Guard began to ebb and flow.

From the fact that Wei Zhen, Chen Qun, and Yang Ji, who are currently in office, are serving as the leaders of the Central Committee, it can be seen that the authority of the Central Commander has declined.

Gein, since the beginning of Cao Pi, the battalions such as Zhongba, Zhongjian, and Wuwei under the supervision of the Zhongling Army have been gradually separated, and they have a certain degree of autonomy, and they directly obey the orders of the monarch. They no longer need to listen to the noise of the Zhongling Army. .

This is not the case with the Central Guard.

From Cao Wei to Han's preparations and execution to the present success, in such a long period of time, no matter whether it is Cao Cao or Cao Pi, they have actively and tirelessly cultivated and promoted cronies to control military power.

The power of the Central Guard elected by the chief military officer will naturally increase.

Until today's Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, the power of the Central Guard Army was already above the Jiuqing, and it was no less powerful than the Sangong who could open the mansion.

Just like the story of Zhongshu Province.

Liu Fang and Sun Zi, nicknamed "Zaifu" and "Full-time", hold more power than Sangong and Shangshutai.

The position of guarding the army cannot be given to anyone who is not an important minister of the country and who is absolutely trusted by the emperor.

This is why the emperor Cao Rui suddenly became furious.

Because the clan and Qiao Peiyuan who were ordered by him to serve in the palace now, Qin Lang has already served as General Xiaoqi, Xia Houxian has also entered the Central Command Office to work in preparation for the future to succeed Yang Ji, and Chengmen School Captain Cao Shuang, Cao Cao, etc. In the future, he will inevitably occupy a place in the ranks of middle base, backbone, military guard or five school lieutenants.

That is to say, Xia Houhui, who had only been appointed as a cavalry servant for less than half a year, would follow the practice of Qiao Pei Yuanxun's children entering the Chinese army for training, and there were no good positions to choose from.

And also live under Xia Houxian and others.

In this way, Xiahou Huizi will not be reconciled.

In particular, he has a lot of talent and learning, and he was signaled by the emperor Cao Rui to be a lonely minister, how can he be reconciled!
Just because of the foreseeable consequences of being instructed to recommend Du Shu and being isolated and cast aside by the clan and Qiao Pei Yuanxun, he knew that after entering the Chinese army, he would be repelled and constantly found fault with Xia Houxian and others.

Therefore, when he suddenly mentioned the illegality of the Central Guard Jiang Ji's wanton bribery, and when he justly and sternly advised Cao Rui not to be tolerated, Cao Rui, who was obsessed with the emperor's mind, mistakenly thought that he was hiding something. It is not surprising that he wants to get involved in the position of the Central Guard in the future.

After all, he just rejected Cao Rui's kindness to take Wu Zhi as a favor~
Moreover, although Xia Houhui's current qualifications and status are far from being able to take on the important task of protecting the army.

But the emperor made him a lone minister!

He is going to be a lonely minister, willing to betray the people of the world, and only the emperor is obedient. The emperor is not allowed to help him in his official career, just like cultivating Xia Houxian, find an opportunity to stuff him into the Central Guard Army and take the post, so that he can take power in the future Prepare yourself.

Especially, in Cao Rui's heart, Xia Houhui is not the kind of courtier who keeps his own law and promises.

He has not forgotten about Shane Soma!
However, the anger in his heart was anger, Cao Rui did not explode on the spot.

no way~
Now he really has no handsome confidants to use!
Taking a step back, what really annoyed him was not Xia Houhui's provocative words of "demanding authority", but a faint feeling of being threatened.

Yes, if Xia Houhui became an isolated minister and proved that it would bring him a lot of benefits, he really wouldn't mind putting Xia Houhui in the Central Guard Army Department.

Xia Houhui didn't even need to mention it, he took the initiative to do it.

After all, at that time, it will be a good thing for him and Wei Guo Sheji to have Xia Houhui succeed the gentry as the Central Guard.

But things are still in the preparation stage, how can I ask for it first!

Shuzi!

Is there no reverence for the monarch?
With this kind of thought in mind, Emperor Cao Rui took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his emotions and said slowly, "The childish words are not unreasonable. However, the time is now! Shu and Wu are not ministers, and in recent years they have repeatedly Raising troops to invade the country, Jiang Hujun is an important minister of the country, who is familiar with Jianghuai affairs, and he has predicted everything about the planning of the war against the thieves and Wu. Now, if I reprimand it for small matters of money and silk, I fear that the heart of the old minister will be cold, and it will not be good for the country. ~"

Can the old ministers of the community be corrupt without scruple?

Without Jiang Ji in the state of Wei, the thief Wu Sunquan could break Hefei and Xiashouchun?
Hearing this, Xia Houhui, who didn't know that Cao Rui would get the wrong idea, was shocked and couldn't understand.

I couldn't help but continue to argue aloud, "Your Majesty's words, please forgive me for not agreeing. The famous article "Bian Que Sees Cai Huan Gong" in "Han Feizi · Yu Lao" has a saying, "Illness lies in the joints, where the soup is ironed." And also; on the skin, where needles and stones can reach; Shu and Wu are not ministers, and they have invaded the territory for many years. However, our Wei State occupies all the rich lands in the world. The people with household registrations in Dingkou and the strength of the country are far superior to Shu and Wu. If your majesty strives hard to govern, lightly pay taxes and save people's power, the strong will last Strong, it is inevitable that Shu will be destroyed and Wu will be destroyed in the future! If the trend of bribery is not curbed, and treacherous things cannot be restrained, the court laws and regulations will be abolished, and the states and counties will be out of order. Hope is hard!"

uh~
There is no end!

Do you really not understand what I mean, or are you deliberately pretending not to know!

Immediately, another burst of anger surged in the heart of Emperor Cao Rui.

Finally, he stopped going around in circles, and said, "Jiang Hujun is loyal, and he has only a short time in office, so he can't be dismissed for trivial matters. It is inevitable that he will be ranked before the court in the future if he is young and talented. He is still young now. , and it has not been long since he became an official, so there is no need to be concerned about power."

what? !

Co-author, your face is full of confusion, do you think I want to ask for the power of the Central Guard Army? !

Hearing this, Xia Houhui was speechless for a moment.

Under Cao Rui's provocation, he finally understood the misunderstanding between the two, and in an instant, many emotions such as anger, shame, grievance, disappointment, and melancholy intertwined in his abdomen.

Why are you so nasty!
As a monarch, when your ministers are sincerely stating the shortcomings of the court, you should not feel worried about the country and family, actively seek good solutions, and work hard for the long-term stability of the country!

How come the thought that the courtiers are asking for authority came into being!
Although Wei Wu Cao Cao has the reputation of tyranny and treachery, he is also worthy of the reputation of being a hero. How can there be such shamelessness.
Oh, I forgot for a while, there was Cao Pi in the middle.

That's it, that's it.

It is useless to criticize such a gentleman on the stall, and he is angry and hurts himself.

Thinking of Cao Pi who was appraised by later generations as "a king who looks like a man", the anger in Xia Houhui's heart melted instantly.

"Your Majesty misunderstood Hui's meaning."

After being dazed for a while, Xia Houhui said generously, "Hui Duan has no intention of seeking power, nor does he intend to ask His Majesty to depose Jiang Hujun. It is indeed because he has seen the current climate in Gyeonggi is not right, so he expresses his feelings directly."

After saying that, I still felt hard to let go, so I got up suddenly, and after saluting Cao Rui, I pointed to the stars in the sky outside the gate of the palace and swore, "Your Majesty, Hui Ru has the heart to seek the position of the Central Guard, and he will die without a burial." The land! Eternal stars can prove it!"

Raise your head three feet and there are gods!
In today's world of advocating promises and gold, in the world of believing in spirits after death and fearing ghosts and gods, it is the most solemn to swear by the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and rivers that have existed since ancient times!
Its credibility is beyond doubt!

Therefore, after listening to Xia Houhui's oath, the emperor Cao Rui was ashamed immediately.

At this moment, he finally believed that Xia Houhui's words and admonitions tonight all came from his sincerity to the country and his enthusiasm for serving the country; not his presumptuous speculation.

I was also moved beyond measure.

If the minister is like this, how can he not tolerate evil?
"You don't have to be like this!"

For the first time, when Cao Rui got up to hold Xiahou Hui's hand to comfort him, he said guiltily, regardless of his status as the emperor, "It's because I have been tired recently and my thoughts have been confused, so I misunderstood the meaning of the child's right, not to question the loyalty of the child's right! "

After all, he seemed to feel that his explanation was not convincing, so he added a sentence with a stern voice, "As Zhiquan said, bribery should not grow, and treacherous things should not be indulged! Although Jiang Hujun is an important minister of the country, he is also It must be virtuous! I will rule it!"

Why did you go early~
Muttering something in his heart, Xia Houhui hurriedly offered words such as "Shengming, Xianjun".

Immediately, he added another sentence, "Your Majesty, Hui believes that Jiang Hujun is an important minister of the country. Although he is slightly immoral, he should not hurt his face. No, your majesty is so so."

When the sky was slightly bright, Xia Houhui, who was mixed with joy and sorrow, finally walked out of the palace.

Hi, naturally Cao Rui accepted his advice.

The worry is that he has hope in his heart, and the long talk this night made him feel that it would be difficult to change the course of history if he only relied on persuading Cao Rui.
