I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 367 Exchanged Chips

Government affairs are actually a balance, the emperor and the minister, the minister and the ministers, the ministers and the emperor, the current state system, leading to government affairs is a general situation in which the three parties check and balance each other.

The system setting is the setting, and the actual operation is the operation.In fact, there has always been a situation where one side is stronger, and there has never been an absolute balance among the three parties.

For example, during the Taizu Taizong Dynasty, the emperors were relatively powerful. Since the Zhenzong Dynasty, the Zhengshitang has dominated the entire court.

This is even more so at this time. The strength of Zhengshitang is only stronger than that of Zhenzong Dynasty.

As for Zhao Xi, this wave is obviously a bit ruthless, whether it is against the Zhengshitang or the ministers, it is quite ruthless.

The main reason why the court cooperated so much was that there was a reason for the incident. Zhao Xi's behavior made the courtiers have no position to refute.

But Zhao Xi knows that this won't last long, at least at this stage, it won't last long, and even the courtiers are holding back their big moves, waiting for a counterattack for themselves.

Fortunately, he hasn't ascended the throne yet. Fortunately, in this state, his father has changed his old good man's demeanor and shielded himself from possible shocks.

Even if everyone knows that His Highness the Crown Prince did the thing, but the official family on the stage is still the emperor... No one criticizes a dying emperor at this time.

As for the future, let's talk about the future.

Zhao Xi knows how to advance and retreat, and knows right from wrong. This is the general understanding of Zhengshitang.

Just like now, too many Beijing officials have been implicated in the treason case, and there are a lot of vacancies in the court.

In all personnel adjustments and arrangements, Zhao Xi behaved quite docilely, without a single objection or veto.

It's all brought up by the Zhengshitang, discuss it casually, and then Zhao Zhen expresses a kindness by blinking his eyelids, and then it's done.

It seems to have returned to the years when the government was in power.

Zhao Zhen is using this method to ease the relationship between his son and his ministers, and Zhao Xi doesn't want to blind his father's kindness in vain, so let's do it!
Zhao Xi really didn't want to really get into a fight with the ministers, especially those in the Zhengshitang.

"My lords, the combat capabilities of the guard battalion and the new army have been recognized after this Western Expedition."

"The security of the court's ministers has always been borne by the ministers themselves. Although the Guochao has not had any assassination incidents like the previous dynasty, with the strengthening of the Guochao's military strength, the relationship with Liaoxia and other surrounding areas may go to another direction. A situation."

"However, the government's policy of inclusiveness makes it impossible to avoid the existence of meticulous work. The safety of ministers and workers, especially the safety of ministers who are tough on the outside world, will face a test."

"Here, I have a proposal. I plan to train a group of guards who are similar to the soldiers of the guard battalion. As the guards of the fourth rank and above, they can intervene in the affairs of the court."

"This batch of guards will be trained by the guard battalion. The equipment is the same as that of the guard battalion. All of them will be equipped with new-style armaments. This will ensure the safety of the servants and workers above the fourth rank in the court."

There has never been a dynasty where the emperor so blatantly monitored his ministers and workers. Even secretly, the chef of the minister's family might also be related to the Imperial City Secretary, but His Royal Highness's approach is too much.

"Your Highness, although our salary is meager, it is still enough to support our servants, so don't discuss this matter again. If we die by accident, it is our fate, so you don't need to worry about it, Your Highness!"

Sure enough, there is still resentment.

Fu Bi didn't think that His Highness the Crown Prince would act so lowly, so there should be something else to say.

But the so-called lofty literati like Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang simply cannot tolerate such a situation.

Ouyang Xiu had been away for many years because of the rumors about his niece and daughter-in-law, and now he just returned to the court, and he felt that His Royal Highness's words were prepared for him personally.

Anger came from his heart, and he refused directly without showing any sympathy.

It's the first time Zhao Xi has been so bluntly teased, it's a bit strange... Thinking about it again, this is the pain of meeting the old man.

Ashamed, ashamed, I really didn't mean it.

"Gentlemen, it's Xi who didn't understand what he said. The so-called guards for the governor and ministers, the guard battalion is just training..."

"How should I put it, the soldiers of the original guard battalion are temporarily in charge of guarding the inner garden, and they are all soldiers who have experienced battles, so they are a bit overqualified."

"What I mean is to assign the veteran soldiers of the guard battalion to the front division of the palace, and to take turns guarding the border with the Western Army. Retrain a group of guards. Take this opportunity to train a group of guards for the court officials."

"The soldiers of the guard battalion are still selected in the same way as in the early years, but the guards of the princes of the court are decided by the ministers and workers themselves..."

After many years of Zhao Xi's unremitting efforts in the three redundant areas, the Dianqian Division and the Fourth Army still have [-] to [-] soldiers in Bianliang.

Now, after the new army took over Bianliang, all these people have stopped working, and it is not a problem to leave them like this.

At the same time, most of the soldiers in the early days of the Guard Battalion had official ranks. After returning from the Western Expedition this time, they all had rank-[-] Lieutenant Zhaowu in terms of merit and deeds.

From cultivating the guard battalion in the early stage to training the new army later, Zhao Xi was originally preparing to change the army of the entire kingdom.

It is also because I have not been enthroned... Even if I am enthroned, I may not be able to execute it quickly.

Therefore, Zhao Xi must have a bargaining chip that can be exchanged with the ministers and workers.

It is Zhao Xi's last resort to cultivate followers for his ministers. Although this is not a part of restoring the previous dynasty or even earlier, it is, after all, an acknowledgment that ministers can have force.

Presumably this should be very attractive to the ministers and workers.This temptation can even make them ignore the Gengrong of the Bianliang Forbidden Army and the Western Army.

Zhao Xi also wanted to test whether the training system of the guard camp, with the fundamental purpose of family and country, could compete with the nature of family members and retainers.

"Didn't His Highness send soldiers from the guard battalion to serve the ministers?"

"No! It's for the training of the court officials, so that their soldiers have the ability to guard the soldiers of the camp. The court officials are loyal to the country. Isn't it the heart of a villain to operate like that? Besides, the guards The soldiers of the battalion belong to the army, and only when they are put in the army can they make the best use of their talents."

"Of course, this is a gradual process. At the end of the screening of the Imperial City Secretary's officers, it is also the time for the soldiers of the guard battalion to return to the army. During this period, there is enough time to complete the training of the guards."

Things will never be as simple as what His Highness said. His Highness always takes one step to see three steps when doing things.

But Fu Bi really couldn't see anything disadvantageous to the courtiers.Not only that, but this is an approach that is completely inclined to civil servants.

Even if the country doesn't allow a trilogy, it is the practice and the fact that the military commander's personal soldiers are.

Now Wenchen can do the same...

Looking at the officials... a trace of suspicion and worry disappeared as the officials closed their eyes.

Looking at His Highness...it seems that there is nothing unusual, as if it is really open.

Can you be frank?Even if he doesn't like it anymore, he wants to implement a more uniformed team, wants to change the Fourth Army on a large scale, and wants to ease the embarrassment between him and civil servants in the early stage, so he has to do this.

"Of course, how to equip personal guards with specific titles and grades needs to be formulated by the imperial court!"

Purely without conditions, it is not enough to make people believe, but with restrictions, people will believe it.
