I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 127

"Huh? Ziru can just speak directly, the old man knows everything."

"Does the general know that His Majesty wants to build Changyi Lang?"

"It's natural. Didn't His Majesty already say it in front of all the officials in the court that day, and the general agreed."

All officials and ministers have their own news channels in Chang'an. Zhao Chongguo is the pillar of the Han army, so he naturally has such a staff team, so Zhao Chongguo knew about it long before the court meeting that day.

"The official post issued by the General's Mansion is very clear. This Changyi Lang is under the jurisdiction of my Guang Luxun, but he is directly under the command of His Majesty. The officials are a little apprehensive about this matter."

At this time of the Han Dynasty, the power to command troops and the power to deploy troops are separate, and there must be no intersection.

Take Habayashiro as an example. He usually practiced and was on duty under the command of Guang Luxun, but he could not leave the place where he was stationed at will.

Whether it is Guang Luxun or General Zhonglang, they only have the right to command the troops daily, but not the right to deploy them.

When it comes to wartime or when the defense is changed, the Great General Sima will draw up the order to deploy troops. After stamping the seal of the emperor, he will hand it over to the general who leads the army together with the tiger talisman. Go to the barracks to transfer troops.

Changyilang is a newly established forbidden army, and it is no problem to be under the command of Guang Luxun, it is nothing more than an extra amount of money and food.

However, it is inappropriate to directly obey His Majesty's orders.

"What's wrong with this? Shouldn't the emperor dispatch all of my great Han's army in the end? As long as there are seals and tiger charms, it's justifiable for the emperor to dispatch all the southern and northern armies, let alone the newly-built Changyi Lang. Ah." Zhao Chongguo said flatly.

"But the copper festival of the tiger talisman and the emperor's seal for dispatching troops are all in the Shangshu Office."

This is where the problem lies. The Shangshu Office, as the emperor's "door", keeps the seals of the seals for the emperor, and Da Sima is responsible for the daily command of the army.

The two should have restrained each other, but at this time the Da Sima and the Lingshang were both Huo Guang.

It also means that Huo Guang has both the power to dispatch troops and the power to command troops of the big man.

When Emperor Xiaozhao was around, the Son of Heaven never cared about military affairs, so all military orders were naturally issued only by the general, and there would be no contradictions or conflicts.

Seeing that Zhao Chongguo did not speak, Zhang Anshi went on to say: "But now, the general said that Chang Yilang will be dispatched directly by His Majesty, so when dispatching troops, do we still need a talisman?"

Zhang Anshi's words were somewhat presumptuous, which made Zhao Chongguo frown slightly.

"Let me put it more bluntly. If one day, your majesty comes to Changyilang to transfer troops without showing the talisman and seal, but the general shows the tiger talisman and the emperor's seal and refuses to allow the emperor to transfer troops, then the official should stop it." Or should I agree?"

The emperor without the seal of the tiger talisman, or the general with the seal of the tiger talisman, which is more important?

Under the night, Zhao Chongguo's eyes, which had seen countless killings and deaths, suddenly flashed a light.

Zhang Anshi asked one of the most sensitive questions, yes, the emperor himself came to dispatch troops, so do we still need seals and seals?
"What did the general say?" Zhao Chongguo asked.

"How can I ask the general about this matter? I'm afraid I'm going to be kicked out with my back foot when I open my mouth. Maybe I'll go to jail because of it!"

Some things don't weigh four or two, and even a thousand catties can't be weighed.

Asking this question directly to the general is tantamount to saying: If the emperor wants to mobilize troops to fight the general, should I be on the side of the general or the emperor?
"Ziru, don't worry too much. I heard that the young men from Changyi Kingdom are all prodigal sons, and the number is only a few dozen."

"Let's not say that the general is deeply trusted by the emperor now, but if the emperor is really bewitched by others and dies indiscriminately, these dozens of people will not be able to achieve anything." Zhao Chongguo said slowly, " You are Guang Luxun, as long as you pay Changyi Lang in full, you don't have to worry about it."

Just 300 people, what kind of storm can it cause?Since the general is so confident, why should these bystanders worry about others.

"General, do you want me to learn from Ren An, the envoy and guard of the Northern Army during Emperor Xiaowu's time?" Zhang Anshi asked, "But Ren An ended up being cut in half."

At that time, the abolished prince wrote a warrant to Ren An, who supervised the Northern Army, to follow him to kill Jiang Chong and control Chang'an.

Ren An didn't dare to decide on his own, so he accepted the prince's talisman, but he closed the camp door tightly and refused to help each other.

He thought that he could avoid catastrophe in this way, but after Emperor Xiaowu returned to the court, he immediately beheaded Ren An on the grounds of "sit back and watch success or failure, and have a heart of disloyalty".

It is probably the most stupid way to try to protect yourself by acting like a fool.

No matter which side wins, the first thing to do is to hoe the weeds.

At this moment, the Son of Heaven calls the General Zhong Father, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a father and son. If the words Zhang Anshi and Zhao Chongguo said are spread, they will be charged with instigating discord between the monarch and his ministers.

But what about the future?Will it still be like this in the future?
Huo Guang has Huo Guang's self-confidence and domineering, but other people also have other people's ideas.

Zhang Anshi had to be careful, he was in a high position, if he was under a dangerous wall, maybe one day the wall collapsed and it would bring disaster.

His old father, Zhang Tang, used to be in a high position, and the three princes and nine ministers did not know how many rounds, but he was still easily framed to death by Li Wen, the censor Zhongcheng, and Zhu Maichen, the prime minister.

Therefore, from an early age, Zhang Anshi knew the cruelty and bloody nature of the court struggle.

When the day comes when the monarch and his ministers are fighting each other, Zhang Anshi and the others must choose sides.

After listening to Zhang Anshi's words, Zhao Chongguo felt a little surprised. Zhang Anshi was an important minister brought up by Huo Guang, and he didn't expect to have such worries.

To have such worries means to have dissatisfaction.

Zhao Chongguo has no hope for today's emperor, but he will not be ungrateful, let alone betray his loyalty.

One is the kindness of Emperor Xiaowu to himself, and the other is the kindness of Ershi General Li Guangli to himself.

Emperor Xiaowu made himself a marquis and general, so he naturally had to be loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Li Guangli's military achievements are not obvious, but he has the kindness to know him, and this Liu He, no matter what, is the last blood of the Li family.

As long as the emperor is not absurd enough to shake the foundation of the great man, then Zhao Chongguo can only stand on the side of the emperor if there is a military incident in Chang'an, both public and private.

Zhao Chongguo sighed, and did not return to Zhang Anshi's words directly, but asked back: "Zi Ru, are you Guang Luxun of a great man, or Guang Luxun of a great general."

"What is the general talking about? Of course it is Guang Luxun of the big man, but..." Zhang Anshi wanted to say something else.

Zhao Chongguo raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Anshi's question: "I know what you are worried about. After all, you are worried that the emperor will go mad, be confused by thieves, and do things that will damage the foundation of a great man."

"Exactly."

The foundation of the big man at this time is Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi never admits that he is a Huo party, he only admits that he is loyal to the big man.

"If you can think of this, you are worthy of the big man. I don't need to be too anxious. If one day, the emperor and the general fight, which side is beneficial to the big man, I will stand on that side. It is worthy of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, the people of the Han Dynasty, and the ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty."

"There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": When the king dies for the country, his ministers will die; if he dies for the country, his ministers will die."

These few words of Zhao Chongguo made Zhang Anshi suddenly enlightened.

Yes, they are the courtiers of the great man, so naturally they should consider the great man's country.

Just wanting to be loyal to a certain person is too narrow.

"The lower officials have been taught, and the words of the general should be kept in mind." Zhang Anshi thanked him.

"Hehe, it's getting late, you and I have to go back quickly, otherwise the doors in that alley will be closed."

"only!"

When Zhao Chongguo got into the carriage, Zhang Anshi had already left first.

Looking at the carriage disappearing into the night, listening to the sound of the wheels fading away, Zhao Chongguo looked back at the gloomy Weiyang Palace behind him.

It seems that the big man is going to make some waves, but he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

I hope that the emperor, who has no words or deeds, will not do anything that harms the man; I also hope that the general will not do anything that harms the man.
