Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Today, the time of the dynasty was extremely long. It didn’t come to an end until noon. Crown Prince Zhang Ting was sent back to the inner palace by the guards to prepare for the afternoon reading. Doctor Shi Yu Shinan and military machine chief Shi Fang Xuanling had already waited for him in the Tiange first.

Both of them are Zhang Xuan who is preparing to be promoted to Sangguo. Although Fang Xuanling's qualifications are relatively low, he has a military background and actually represents the military in the cabinet. Therefore, he has a strong momentum as a new minister. Make up for the shortcomings of insufficient qualifications.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is here!"

With a loud shout from the guards, Yu Shinan and Fang Xuanling stood up at the same time. Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "I can wait a little longer. Doctor Yu will see the emperor beforehand!"

"But Mr. Shi will come first."

"There shouldn't be anything in this first-come-last-come! It's okay for me to wait."

Yu Shinan chuckled, "Then I will be welcome."

At this time, Zhang Xuan walked up the spiral staircase, and the two of them stepped forward and bowed to salute, "See Your Majesty!"

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "I thought I was walking fast, but I didn't expect the two of you to go faster. Please go up to the third floor and talk."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Weichen wait a moment, let Doctor Yu see your Majesty first."

Zhang Xuan nodded and walked quickly to the third floor. Not long after, he entered the meeting hall and Yu Shinan followed in. Zhang Xuan waved his hand, "Doctor Yu, please sit down and speak."

The first term of office of Xiangguo will end at the end of September, and there are still two months left. Yu Shinan still continues to serve as the Yushi doctor, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and admonishing the emperor. Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "The feeling of the Dachao today how?"

Yu Shinan sincerely praised: "This kind of situation of discussing politics with hundreds of officials has not been seen for many years. From the first rank Taiwei to the seventh rank, everyone has the right to express their own opinions. It can be seen that everyone is serious. Especially when discussing the salt law, the debate was fierce, the insights were deep, and it was breathtaking. This kind of discussion is very conducive to gathering the consensus of hundreds of officials. I believe that the introduction of this salt law will take care of all aspects of interest. Frankly speaking, Weichen thinks that this is better than Ziwei Pavilion's deliberation. Of course, Ziwei Pavilion is deliberation and cannot be too weakened."

Zhang Xuan nodded. The Dachao’s discussion has gradually become a consensus. Yu Shinan also praised him unabashedly, but Yu Shinan also reminded himself in the end that the Dachao’s discussion should not be used to replace the Xiangguo’s discussion. Of course, Zhang Xuan understands the difference between the two. In fact, the reason why Dachao's deliberation is so popular among the officials is that Zhang Xuan decomposed a part of the power to the officials, so that the officials all tasted the taste of being a state country, and of course it was very popular.

But this was definitely not a whim of Jang Hyun. It was a decision he made after careful consideration. He first weakened the sovereign's political power. Except for major or urgent government affairs, Jang Hyun basically didn’t ask about it, but this undoubtedly greatly improved the power of the sovereign. , This will form a small decision-making group, too concentrated power may not be a good thing, so the use of the Great Dynasty and China and North Korea to divide the power of the Po Xiangguo, this is also the emperor's method since ancient times.

The key is to institutionalize and use the system to clarify the distribution of power, which matters are discussed by the state, which matters need to be discussed by the dynasty, which matters need to be discussed by China and North Korea, and which matters need to be decided by the emperor, and then which institution decides the classification and classifies these After the details are decided, the system is formed.

This is what Zhang Xuan will consider in the next step. He plans to use three to five years to gradually improve the power distribution system, and then use the iron monument to fix it, admonishing future generations to abide by it.

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "What's the matter with Doctor Yu?"

Yu Shinan took out a memorandum and presented it to Zhang Xuan: "This is the supervision report of Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Although the overall situation is not bad, local problems are still prominent, and almost every county or even every county has problems. "

Both the Yushitai and the military machines reported directly to the emperor, independent of the imperial court. Ziwei Pavilion could not see the Yushitai report. Zhang Xuan looked at the report and asked, "Where is the problem?"

"My Majesty, the problem lies in the charity warehouse we were worried about before. The accounts are messy and difficult to check. The receipts in the hands of the farmers are far more than the deposit receipts in the warehouse. If there is a famine, the farmers will not be able to cash in the grain, and trouble will occur. "

The so-called righteous warehouse is equivalent to the provident fund for later generations. After the farmers have paid their taxes in the good years, they will put out some of their grains and deposit them in special communal warehouses, which will be managed by the government. It has been implemented since 2000, and the effect has been quite good. In the later period of the great cause, it was gradually destroyed. As a result, most of the fortified warehouses were robbed by bandits or stolen by the government.

From the year before last, the imperial court decided to restore the Yicang. However, Xuzhou and Qingzhou encountered a spring drought this year, and many farmers encountered problems when requesting grain. Zhang Xuan ordered Yushitai to investigate the matter when he found that the Yicang was generally insufficient.

"What is the reason for the lack of food in Yicang?" Zhang Xuan asked again. Compared with the lengthy report before him, he prefers to listen to the report face to face.

"The common cause is chaotic accounts and difficulty in checking, but specific to the county, there are various reasons, some counties are due to too much loss, resulting in insufficient food stocks, and some counties are in chaotic management and cannot find it themselves. The reason, but there is one reason Weichen felt that we must not ignore it. Many farmers used Sui Dynasty documents to exchange for grain. This is also an important reason for the failure to check."

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and he took the documents from the previous dynasty to ask for food. How ridiculous it sounded, Yu Shinan smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, they also have a certain truth. Our righteous warehouse was established in the Northern Sui Dynasty. Farmers We think that the Northern Sui Dynasty is the continuation of the Sui Dynasty, so we should honor the grain from the former dynasty. This part of the grain in Guangqingzhou and Xuzhou is as much as 90,000 shi."

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "This is not a question of the amount of food, but a matter of principle. Once we recognize the previous dynasty's account, then the various unscrupulous things of the previous dynasty will fall on us, which is not good for us and the former. Our attitude is very clear. If the righteous warehouse cannot be handled properly, then we will suspend it and carry out a thorough cleanup. We will be held accountable for all corruptions. It belongs to the documents issued by us, and we acknowledge it, but the food in the previous dynasty has nothing to do with us. It must also be clear, this matter will be handled jointly by Yushitai and Ziwei Pavilion!"

Zhang Xuan picked up his pen to comment on the memorial, and then forwarded it to Ziwei Pavilion, and said to Yu Shinan: "I will transfer this memorial to Ziwei Pavilion. Please copy me another copy from Doctor Yu. , I will watch it again when I have time."

Yu Shinan got up and saluted, "Weichen abides by the decree!"

Yu Shinan saluted his departure, and Zhang Xuan felt annoyed in his heart. Although he hoped that his officials would be upright and clean, but in fact it was difficult to do it. From a historical point of view, the dynasties that just founded the country were relatively clean. Corruption, and finally corruption and subjugation of the country. Now that the Yicang incident occurred at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can Zhang Xuan not be annoyed? He must thoroughly investigate this matter. An iron fist, set up a model for officialdom.

At this time, the guard reported at the door, "Your Majesty, see you, Chief Secretary Shi!"

Zhang Xuan turned his thoughts back, nodded and said, "Please come in!"

For a moment, Fang Xuanling walked into the chamber, bowed and bowed, "See your majesty for the minister!"

"Changshi, please sit down!"

Fang Xuanling's military machine chief history is one of the highest positions in the military machine. Another highest position is the military machine sacrificial wine. Du Ruhui is currently in charge. Changshi is in charge of daily affairs, while Jijiu mainly exercises the power of supervision. There are more than two hundred officials in the military platform. Together with the Ministry of War, they maintain the operation of the 700,000 troops of the Great Zhou Empire and more than 100,000 local county soldiers.

Another responsibility of the military machine is to preside over intelligence. At the beginning, there were five intelligence agencies in the Northern Sui Dynasty~www.readwn.com~Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu, Taiyuan and Chengdu. Among them, Luoyang and Chang'an are the top priority. The four intelligence agencies have been abolished, and only one intelligence agency is left in Chang'an. The military machine mobilizes all the elite troops and generals to gather in Chang'an.

Fang Xuanling sat down and said: "Just getting the latest information from Chang'an, Li Yuan is pursuing the nobles of Guanlong. It is very tragic. Dou Wei and Dugu usurper committed suicide one after another. All the families participating in the rebellion were deprived of their titles. All the positions of monk books fell through, and they couldn't afford to be sick. Even Dou Qin and Dou Lukuan resigned from the positions of Xiangguo."

"Li Yuan didn't even let the Dou family go?" Zhang Xuan was slightly surprised.

Fang Xuanling nodded, "The Dou family, Doulu family, and Changsun family only retained the title and family property, but the land and food were still deprived of them. It was a little bit better than other families. This time Li Yuan was quite vicious. No mercy, completely eradicated the foundation of Guanlong nobles."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, "Yang Jian captured the mountains of the Northern Zhou Dynasty under the Guanlong nobles, and he himself did the same. With the support of the Guanlong nobles, he captured Sui Yang's community, so he will never allow this scene again. Repeatedly, besides attacking Guanlong nobles, he can also get a lot of money, food, land and soldiers, which can greatly boost the strength of the Tang Dynasty. In the final analysis, Li Yuan was forced by us and had to make a desperate move."
