Chapter 775: The Dragon is Dying
The three of them got together. Wang Pu didn't know much about it because he was outside the city in advance, but when he listened to Lao Wei's introduction in detail, his head became three times bigger.
This mess is so big!
After years of war, the emperor was outside, from the rule of the country to the rule, and the industry and commerce were booming... Various contradictions were intertwined, which led to this immature rebellion. But the more you understand the situation, the more you are, the more you are frightened and trembling.
"If these contradictions cannot be properly resolved and remain, sooner or later, a rebellion will occur." Wang Pu gave his own opinion.
Old Wei shook his head and said, "It's not sooner or later, but there's no peace... But there are some things that we ministers cannot do, nor can we do." Wei Renpu took a deep breath and spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I really wish I hadn't come to Beijing, and I'm still enjoying the joy of the pastoral world at this moment!"
Ye Hua gave him a blank look, "Grandpa Wei, is Tian Yuan really that so?"
"Ah!" Old Wei was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Marquis always wants to give me some face!"
Ye Hua didn't want to hear this old man pretending to be shy. He said directly: "The emperor issued an edict to us... In order to be responsible to the court and to the people, we should come up with a strategy. As for how to implement it, we will discuss it in the next step."
Wei Renpu and Wang Pu were not stupid. They could hear that Ye Hua wanted to face the problem directly and was unwilling to worry about his identity anymore... It is logical that being brave enough to do things is a good thing, but Ye Hua's current status is really appropriate?
Wei Renpu shrank his neck and was unwilling to speak. Wang Pu pondered for a long time and slowly said, "I have read the books of sages for a lifetime. The sage said that he knew it was impossible to do it. Today, we will do our best for the Great Zhou!"
Wang Pu actually supports Ye Hua!
Old Wei's pupils shrank, and he seemed a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment and then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
When the three of them got together, the first thing was the issue of the imperial guards. No matter when the time came, military power was the core of the core.
Ye Hua had been in charge of disarmament and rectified the imperial guards before. He had many ideas... First of all, military moral education must be strengthened, and rebellion must not be allowed.
Ye Hua also proposed that soldiers must serve a term. For officers who cannot be promoted and are older, they must retire and eliminate them regularly. Only by constantly replenishing fresh blood can the generals prevent the general from becoming bigger and avoid the situation where the generals immediately respond to the situation.
Both of these are restricting the power of the imperial guards, which is also very important, but Ye Hua's next words surprised the two old husbands!
"I think the Ministry of War should be separated, divided into the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Navy, and two additional ministers must be active generals... They shall represent the army and participate in the cabinet meeting!"
"What?"
Old Wei was stunned and said, "What a joke, let the martial artist take charge of the two parts, and let them join the court to participate in the decision-making. Is there any other way to the king?"
Who doesn’t know that these Ba Madam Qiu has always been unreasonable? If they were tormenting, who could withstand it?
Old Wei wanted to refute, but he found that Wang Pu closed his eyes and pondered. After a long time, he slowly said: "The Secretary of Lu and Hai must be approved by the cabinet, otherwise it will not work!"
"That's natural." Ye Hua said: "Military generals also abide by the rules and reason. If they just make a fuss, they can make their ugly appearances public and let everyone know!"
Ye Hua said simply that the situation suddenly turned into two to one. Old Wei simply shut up. He saw clearly. Ye Hua was determined to fight for power for the warriors, so why should he take it?
It’s just a pity that the court will cause more trouble!
Wei Renpu was worried, but Ye Hua felt that there was nothing wrong with it... For a long time, the technology and military power of the Great Zhou would be the best in the world, and it was inevitable to use troops from outside.
Of course, it may not be as big as Chai Rong, but it is still necessary to expand territory. Without a strong military force, it cannot be pushed.
The army not only needs to conquer the vast land, but also provide protection for immigrants and develop barbaric land. In short, there are many tasks and the two ministers are added, not much!
At the same time, Ye Hua also combined the previous reforms, and placed the entire task of commanding the army in the three yamen. They were responsible for recruiting and training troops, and the power to mobilize troops was handed over to the Army and the Navy.
In addition, a staff headquarters is set up to formulate strategies, directly assist the emperor, and use troops to the outside world.
In this way, the military power was achieved.
Among these three parties, the General Staff Headquarters obviously had the highest status, even better than the Privy Councilor of that year.
Wei Renpu squinted his eyes Ye Hua, you kid is probably looking at the General Staff Headquarters. This position is simply tailor-made. Old Wei thought for a while and said, "The Marquis suggested that I agree, but I think I need to add one. The General Staff Headquarters must be given the title of Grand Secretary and enter the cabinet!"
Just a little girl, you want to leave the cabinet and work alone. No way, I will pull you back!
Ye Hua smiled happily, "It's still the Prime Minister of Wei who is thoughtful and the military wants to occupy one of the cabinet's ministers. Among the ministers of each department, there are two military officials... I think it's enough to be as good as an instructor."
...
It was not just a commander, but he was overjoyed. Zhao Kuangyin got the news from his second brother. He was so happy that he kept slapped, "Okay, the marquis is so good! After so many years, he has been reluctant to help us stand up, and I even blamed him... I didn't expect that this time, such a big happy event would come!"
Zhao Kuangyin dusted his clothes and said happily: "I can't go to the Navy Department anymore. Second brother, do you think I'm going to the General Staff Headquarters or the Army Department?"
Zhao Kuangyi gave him a blank look, "Look, you'd better go there!"
Zhao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Why are you talking to Brother Wei?"
Zhao Er also slapped the table, "Silly, you were just a 25-year-old boy at that time... The man named Lu was talking nonsense under the city. Why did you just shove him to death without arrows? He even made him talk nonsense, and knelt down with tens of thousands of people together, acting in a big show of yellow robe! Do you know how bad my master has caused me?"
When talking about this, Zhao Da was guilty. Even the most confused person knew that he had committed a big taboo and caused a big disaster. Many things were like a layer of window paper, so don't break it.
If you break it, it means you tear your face and there is no room for maneuver.
Zhao Da was also full of bitterness. At that time, he didn't know that the emperor was still alive, and Zhao Kuangyin still had such a little thought, which was good for Ye Hua to ascend the throne... Looking back now, my brothers were right. Even if the marquis wanted to ascend the throne, they should take the lead in supporting him. How could Lu Duosun take the turn!
"I admit that I was wrong at that time... Yes, but now it is calm and rewarding merits. In general, I still have no merits, right?"
"What's the matter!"
Zhao Er was simply unable to complain, "Brother, you wake up... Now the emperor is forcing his master to clean up the mess, but in fact he is to let his master break his hands and feet. The master is unwilling to betray the emperor, but he is unwilling to be bullied by warriors, so this arrangement is made."
Zhao Kuangyin scratched his head, "Why do I still don't understand!"
"How do I understand?" Zhao Er jumped up in anger, "If I guess correctly, after the master cleaned up the mess, he would probably beg for the crown."
"No way? The Marquis wants to resign, how can he do it?" Zhao Da was anxious.
"It's not about resigning, but about going further away...such as India, such as Dashi, or a wilderness where there is no one yet!"
Zhao Kuangyin's head was so big, "Second brother, just say it straight, what is the Marquis going to do?"
"At present, Master probably cannot stay in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Er sighed and said, "Master probably goes abroad to be the governor... As for you generals, you will go out to sea with your master, each with your own side and become a local emperor!"
"oh!"
Zhao Da finally understood, it seems to be good. There are many wealthy places overseas, and his navigation technology has also improved. Steamboats have been successfully made. I heard that it will take only one or two months to go overseas, and it is not so far away...
"Second brother, this is how I see it. I won't choose any other place. Let me go to Tianzhu. I want to be the governor of Tianzhu!" Zhao Da tried hard to recall that the introduction to Tianzhu was so happy.
That place is so good!
The products are abundant and the land is fertile, and it is not cold all year round. The most important thing is that the Indians are honest!
"Second brother, I know how many skills my elder brother has... If I were asked to go to a place where there were too many smart people or where there were fierce people everywhere, I would probably not manage it well and would cause resentment from heaven!"
"You can manage it just by going to Tianzhu?" Zhao Er was deeply suspicious!
"Of course... it is not well managed, but the problem is that the Indians will regard suffering as cultivation... They will not rebel me, they will only kneel by the Ganges River and pray for the great gods to live a good life in their next life." Zhao Kuangyin was so happy that he danced, "What a cute person, what a clever idea... I heard that they would whip themselves with whips as corporal punishment. Some people even used hooks to penetrate their skin and hang themselves up!"
"If I go to Tianzhu, I will definitely bring eighteen torture instruments. When I arrive in Tianzhu, I can do whatever I want, and I don't have to worry about causing trouble. It's so great!"
Zhao Da’s eyes shone brightly, and the more he thought about it, the more beautiful he became. After thinking about it, there was only one Indian left... But whether it could be done depends on the emperor’s intention.
Chai Rong refused the pill. He wanted to rest and let himself hold on for a longer time... But he only supported it until late at night and couldn't stand it anymore. He was sweating all over, and his nose and tears flowed out, and he was in extreme embarrassment!
"Pharm, give me the medicine!"
The imperial physician could not withstand the emperor's request and could only bring the pills. After Chai Rong took it, he finally fell asleep peacefully... The next morning, two dark red liquids flowed out from Chai Rong's nostrils... Everyone was shocked-
