On the other hand, Liu Bei and his group were also doing some brain repair.

The emperor's hand has a deep meaning. When Cao Cao and his group thought it was coming for him when they were thinking about it, but when Liu Bei and his group thought it was coming for them when they were thinking about it.

Or, it was for the reform of military and political affairs.

The emperor's reforms have always been concentrated on the administrative level. At present, it can be said that it has been quite successful. It not only ensures the centralization of the monarch and allows sufficient checks and balances between the ministers' powers, but also ensures the solid rule of the central power over the grassroots to make up for the inevitable inefficiency of decision-making under such a complex administrative structure.

However, the emperor of the reform of the military system has never moved much. At present, the military system of the imperial army is indeed quite twisted. Under this system that is somewhat similar to the military system, although the combat effectiveness of the army is effectively guaranteed and the cost of convening is very low, such a military system is indeed too unstable.

The emperor likes reform so much and does what he has not done before, so how could he let it go?

Everyone in the world can see that this relocation is the best time to solve this problem once and for all.

"Is the emperor really only moving to the guard this time?"

"Yes, the imperial guards didn't move at all, and they looked like they were seducing someone to rebel against him."

Liu Bei nodded deeply and said, "It should be really thoughtful about this, but I think that no one in the court would be so stupid and dare to attack the emperor. In terms of the court, there is no need to say the emperor's deep meaning. Let's talk about the military and political aspects."

Fazheng was the first to say: "In terms of military and political affairs, no matter how they change, they will never leave their roots. They are nothing more than county soldiers and imperial guards, county strokes, county military soldiers and private soldiers, and imperial guards are the most important. Among the imperial guards, they are nothing more than dividing the north and south."

Jian Yong heard this and said, "That is related to us, that is, the imperial guards. The emperor's military and political reform should be aimed at military and political reform. The lord's position is the Sili School Captain, this..." As he said that, Jian Yong was stunned for a moment.

Chen Qunjie, who has the most say in personnel affairs, said, "That's right, what position does this Sili Captain have?"

After asking this question, everyone was indeed asked.

Yes, what is the position of Sili School Captain?

Strictly speaking, the official position of Sili School Guard was extremely powerful in the Han Dynasty. To be honest, by the end of the Han Dynasty, this official position had almost nothing to do with the Sili School Guard during the Western Han Dynasty except for its official title.

(A book friend has always said that the Sili School Captain is the supervisor of all officials because the power and responsibility of this official position has changed too much)

I heard Chen Qun talk loudly: "Emperor Wu first set up this position to supervise all officials. Although the authority was heavy, to put it bluntly, it was still the special envoy of the emperor, representing the imperial power itself. After Guangwu, although the rank of the Sili lieutenant decreased (from two thousand stones to two thousand stones), the power and responsibility were actually heavier, especially with special military power. This position truly became a powerful position and became the only one in the world, but it was still the result of the mutual struggle between party members, eunuchs, and relatives of the foreign countries."

Jian Yong knew little about these things and asked, "Why is this?"

"Because most of the military power of the imperial court has always been controlled by foreign relatives or eunuchs, the position of Sili School Captain has become more and more party members have been used, especially after the Party and Counterfeiting disaster caused by the two emperors of Huan and Ling, the position of Sili School Captain has become the key to the victory or defeat of the party and eunuchs. If you are confused, this position becomes more and more powerful and more subordinates are also more and more."

"In contrast, the strength of the central government since Guangwu has actually become weaker and weaker. Since Guangwu, he has been rescheduled and cultivated civilians, weak county soldiers, and strong imperial guards to strengthen the central government's centralization. At the peak, the number of imperial guards in the capital exceeded 200,000. However, during the reign of Emperor Ling, he could not even get 10,000 people. He even had to go to Jizhou, Yang, Taishan and other places to recruit a so-called Xiyuan army, but there were actually not many people."

"One is constantly expanding, and the other is constantly shrinking, so the troops under the Sili School Captain, which originally supervised and enforced the law, gradually became a force that cannot be ignored in the imperial guards and gradually became military positions. However, when was the real qualitative change in the position of the Imperial Uncle and the Sili School Captain?"

Liu Bei was silent for a while after hearing this, and sighed: "Yes, when Yuan Shao was the lieutenant of the Sili School."

"Yes, Yuan Shao was once the Central Army Captain of the Xiyuan Imperial Army. After Jian Shuo's death, he had become the leader of this army (the Xiyuan Army was a powerful soldier recruited by a group of party members. I feel that Jian Shuo, a eunuch, should not be in command when he was alive). After Yuan Shao served as the Sili Imperial Army, the power of this position was further expanded. In fact, he still directly took charge of the Xiyuan Imperial Army. In fact, he became the highest direct leader of the imperial army in the capital and became a real hero. To be honest, if Yuan Shao did not run out after Dong Zhuo came out, he would have the strength to compete with Dong Zhuo."

"After that, this position was held by Wang Yun, Li Jue and Wei Gong respectively, and it became the real position of commander of the imperial guards. However, the imperial uncle, since Yuan Shao served as the Sili lieutenant, it has only been so many years since today. Strictly speaking, what official is this Sili lieutenant? Can you explain it clearly?"

"What you mean is... the emperor may want to take back our military power? But if our military power is taken back, who else can we give it to?"

"It is naturally unlikely to take back all of them. What if I take back half of them? Uncle Huang, from a legal perspective, you have never been the leader of the three armies in the capital!"

Liu Bei frowned when he heard this. What would be the operation of taking back half of it?

"As mentioned before, the army is generally divided into two parts: full-time imperial guards and military military soldiers. The emperor thought, which part is the foundation of the country?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "If you fight the world and resist foreign enemies, you should naturally use military farming troops as the foundation of the country. However, no matter how fast the military farming troops are to be summoned, it will take time and preparation, and it cannot be concealed at all. If the powerful ministers cause chaos or become a elbow, the more important thing is that the imperial guards in the capital will be, the court will be unstable. However, the imperial guards themselves were trained as officers during the war. The imperial guards naturally suppressed the military farming generals. How can they be distinguished?"

Fa Zheng added: "Is it really impossible to distinguish? The lord is the lieutenant of the Sili School, but now that Zi has gone to Luoyang today, which is Luoyang or Xu Du? Guanzhong area was independent of Yongzhou when Li Jue was in power. Does the court recognize it or not? Uncle, where is Sili in the world today?"

Jian Yong was completely stunned when he heard this, but Liu Bei suddenly realized: "Is it said that the emperor's original intention was to implement the two capital system? At present, the places where the imperial court stationed the most soldiers... are Nanyang and Yingchuan. On the contrary, among the three rivers, there are only a little more soldiers stationed in Hedong, and Henan, as its confidant, has no at all."

Fa Zheng continued: "The emperor moved the capital first, and the guards must follow him, but what about the imperial guards? The imperial court still stayed in Xudu, so naturally he also needed the protection of the imperial guards. Among the refugees who built the Xindu of Luoyang, how many of them were Black Mountain bandits, Hedong bandits, and Dongzhou soldiers from Yizhou? Just reorganize them and select the best ones. Wouldn't this new imperial guard come out?"

This time, even Chen Qun suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, the emperor's move is really clever. After moving the capital, the permanent imperial guards were divided into two. Some imperial guards in Luoyang focused on protecting the emperor and protecting the court. In fact, it was enough to leave only 10,000 people in the number of people. The Jinwu Guard was also set up to maintain public order in Luoyang City, strictly limit the number of slaves to the court officials, and strictly manage armor and strong crossbows, which is enough to deal with the possible rebellion in the capital. During their tenure, the imperial guards and imperial guards could learn more about how to govern local affairs and other civil servants."

"And the professional imperial guards trained by wartime officers can be placed in Xudu just like this. After a new round of selection of military troops across the country, they can be placed in Xuxia, Nanyang and other places. Xudu set up another yamen to handle military garrison and daily training. The money and grain supply of the Xudu army can be completely dependent on transportation in Luoyang. Anyway, Luoyang is not far from Xudu, and the loss can be almost negligible. Once there are powerful ministers in the court who deceive the king, or there are stories of Huo Guang, Wang Mang, and Dong Zhuo, gathering a group of troops from Xudu to clear the king's side is much more reliable than the so-called eighteen princes to challenge Dong at that time."

Jian Yong asked again: "But in this way, if Xu Du's in charge is in opposition, wouldn't Xu Du be very dangerous?"

However, Liu Bei explained: "No, under normal circumstances, Xu Du cannot threaten Luoyang. Xu Du's number of regular imperial guards will not be much larger than Luoyang. Luoyang itself has dangerous mountains and rivers. With 10,000 guards, even if 100,000 soldiers and horses are besieged, it will not be captured in a year or two. On weekdays, Xu Du's regular military food will be enough for half a month."

"As for military military farming, it is natural that it is not a Luoyang order that cannot be summoned. Moreover, it is impossible to summon troops in three or two days, and it is even more impossible to summon secretly. Therefore, unless it happens in the court like Dong Zhuo and Huo Guang, it will definitely be a major event that will shake the world no matter how you conceal it, otherwise Xu Du's troops will not be able to move."

Fa Zheng added: "It is not completely without any mistakes. If there is a powerful minister who deposed the emperor or even usurped the emperor, I think it must have been connected with Xu Du. Therefore, Xu Du must use important officials who will never be bribed by powerful ministers. And when it comes to that point, he will become a new powerful minister who threatens the imperial power after the rebellion. Therefore... this position is best for royal relatives. Lord, no one in the world is more suitable for this position than you."

When Liu Bei heard this, he habitually said a few humble words: "Although the emperor called me the emperor's uncle, when it comes to kinship, I am actually very far away from the emperor."

"The lord is such a bad word. Not to mention that the emperor has no close relatives anymore. The situation is really special. If the emperor himself suppresses the world, there will be no chaos. If you come to take this great responsibility, it is just right to start a royal relative to this position. The descendants of the emperor must still use close relatives. And Duke Wei has the dual identities of a foreign relative and an important minister. To put it inappropriately, if one dies one day before Duke Wei, no one else can control Duke Wei except you."

Liu Bei nodded and said that this is indeed the case.

But in this way, the court was in Luoyang and he himself stayed in Xudu, but he didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing.

"I understand. It's better for us to take the initiative to submit this matter. After a few days, the emperor settles down in Luoyang, I will submit a report to submit a letter to resign from the position of Sili's lieutenant. As a minister, you should be more sensible."

This is indeed a bit similar to the way Cao Wei plays. In order to avoid marching to the dominance of generals during Cao Wei, Luoyang was set as the capital and Xudu was set as the capital. Well... Is it okay for Cao Shuang to surrender directly? This is Cao Shuang's own stupidity, and it has nothing to do with this system.

Besides, Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, did not dare to usurp the throne. He used three generations of ancestors and grandchildren to successfully pick the fruits of victory, and it was also a perfect achievement of this strategy.

By the way, I also played this way during the Qing Dynasty. The Governor of Zhili Yuan Shikai was in Tianjin... Well, it was quite unlucky.

Anyway, when Liu Xie finally arrived in Luoyang, he suddenly realized that his guardian power seemed to be carrying a little less, and was scared to sweat.

It’s not that he was afraid of Cao Cao’s mutiny. To be honest, if Cao Cao didn’t kill anyone, Liu Xie would like to abdicate him. The problem is that Luoyang is very close to Guanzhong, and Guanzhong is very close to Xiliang. It is all an unmanned land. What if Han Sui sees the opportunity to kill him, how can he resist?

At this time, the two memorials of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two god brothers finally arrived one after another.

Cao Cao's memorial made Liu Xie feel pain in his face. He actually took the initiative to say that the population of Jizhou has moved out too much and there were many barren lands. He hoped that during the spring plowing, the emperor would let some of the refugees in Jizhou go back to Jizhou to farm. In order to make up the place for these refugees in Jizhou, he had ordered Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao to divide their troops to capture Qinghe and Anping respectively, and ordered Cao Ren and Cao Xiu to send troops to occupy Zhao and Julu respectively, and recommended four of them as the prefects and prime ministers of the four places.

In this way, the four armies completely surrounded the Bohai Kingdom where Yuan Shang was. After the autumn harvest, the court took a breath and then the four armies came out to destroy Yuan Shang.

Liu Xie was confused.

When did Cao Cao really become a pure minister of the Han Dynasty?

I have freed up Xu Du to give it to you. Instead of studying how to monopolize the power, you are thinking about how to destroy Yuan Shang?

At this time, you no longer raise the bandits and respect yourself?

It makes people unable to think of any reason to oppose you!

Liu Bei’s memorial was even more inexplicable. He was actually going to resign?!

It was not right. He resigned from his post as the Sili School Captain and only retained the position of General Guard. The Bing proposed to help Liu Xie re-engineer the imperial guards in Xudu and do his best to do the duties of General Guard.

To be honest, Liu Xie always thought that General Guard was an honorary title before. By the way, the general was equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the country, and the general of the chariot and cavalry were equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the left and right. What exactly did General Guard with the fourth serial number do? (The power of the Grand Sima overlaps with the General, it sounds better. The Grand Sima of this dynasty was still Cao Cao, and the chariot and cavalry were vacant.)

You're crazy! Why are you quitting for a while?

However, after resigning, Liu Bei said very sensible that he would send Zhang Xiu and the generals who performed well among the imperial guards to Luoyang to the emperor, and suggested that he reorganize a new imperial guard in Luoyang.

This just solved Liu Xie's urgent need, so it is naturally even more impossible to disagree.

However, Liu Xie was still muttering while approving: Did these two guys have some strange things to think about?
