"What are your opinions?"

Li Xun was silent for a long time and finally asked this question. Of course, the subtle meaning of his words: Zhao Xun formed a new army, which is not a good thing for the aristocratic family group. Since ancient times, it would be a very terrible thing for the emperor to completely control his own army, especially the army in the capital. This would undoubtedly be a sharp sword hanging above their heads for all ministers and families.

Therefore, in a period when the aristocratic families were relatively strong, it was almost impossible to do such things, especially since Zhao Xun is still in a relatively weak position. What ability does he have to do this big thing?

Yang Run said indifferently: "The Imperial Army will reorganize and streamline, and only 50,000 troops were retained in the two armies. As for the new army, there is a maximum of 100,000. The total number of imperial army and the new army is 150,000."

Li Xun nodded and understood in his heart.

During the Zhao Zhi period, the imperial guards remained at around 150,000 most of the time. This was a limit. It was not that there was no source of troops to expand the army, but that the financial situation was not allowed, at most 150,000. No matter how much it was, the court could not afford it.

Zhao Xun obviously reached an agreement with various factions again, with interests shared, the imperial guards controlled by aristocratic families, and the new army formed was controlled by Zhao Xun, forming a balance between the two sides.

Li Xun frowned. Deep down, he did not agree with Zhao Xun's approach. Political resources are not endless, but ultimately they have their greatest limit. Zhao Xun shared the interests of the aristocratic family group again and again, and seemed to have achieved his goal through this method. But from another aspect, while Zhao Xun got it, the aristocratic family group also got the political benefits they wanted, and grew step by step in the process. This is actually a vicious cycle.

The balance with political interests as the bond is very fragile. When one day, this kind of interests will no longer be mutually reciprocal, can the balance continue?

Li Xun now realized that Zhao Xun's personality was actually a bit contradictory. To put it nicely, that is to be cautious and cautious, to climb up step by step. To put it bluntly, that is to be indecisive, have great ambitions and ambitions, but do not have the corresponding courage and courage.

When Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, Liu Jie and Yang Daolin had secretly visited him. They gave Zhao Xun a suggestion, which was to continue the political strategy of Emperor Xingzong. In the court, two major political groups were formed based on two aristocratic families. Together with the emperor, they jointly maintain the stability of the political situation and continue to exclude the political core of the opposition.

The proposal of Yang Daolin and Liu Jie was approved by Li Zhong, Li Xun and others, but Zhao Xun disagreed with it. His ambition was not to maintain the status quo, but to completely change the political structure of the entire Jin Dynasty in his own hands.

Li Xun sat back and said, "Where is the emperor going to prepare for a new army of 100,000 people?"

Yang Run shook his head: "It is no small matter to form a 100,000 new army. Although the emperor has cleared the obstacles of the aristocratic family group after the exchange of interests, the emperor has not yet considered what to do next. However, one thing is certain, Yan Yi, Zou Meng, Hong Chengtao and others will definitely become the main leaders of the new army in the future."

Li Xun glanced at Yang Run, and from his words, Li Xun heard that Zhao Xun, the many middle and senior generals of the new army, obviously planned to select those who were poor and innocent. In this way, in the future, Fengjing's military power would be completely divided into two parts, the imperial guards dominated by aristocratic families, and the new army dominated by civilians.

Next, Li Xun didn't speak, and Yang Run remained silent. As a result, the two were nearly twenty years apart and had little social interaction before. This time, when he came to Lingnan, Yang Run only conveyed the imperial edict. The rest of the matter had nothing to do with him. Therefore, in terms of business affairs, Li Xun and Yang Run really had no common topics to talk about.

Li Xun was in a bad mood and lost the desire to continue talking with Yang Run, so he prepared to see him off.

But at this moment, a person suddenly flashed through Li Xun's mind.

Li Xun stood up and sat down again. He looked at Yang Run and said in a deep voice: "What does the Right Prime Minister think of this?"

Since Zhao Xun ascended the throne, Yang Daolin, the right prime minister of all officials, has almost stayed in his door. Not to mention going to court to participate in politics, Yang Daolin has never been here even for a meeting of the Political Affairs Hall. Li Xun is almost about to forget the existence of this person, but at this moment, Li Xun suddenly realized that Yang Daolin's failure to participate in political affairs does not mean that he does not exist. Until now, he is still the right prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall and the nominal head of all officials.

Yang Run looked at Li Xun and a hint of praise flashed through his eyes.

The Yang family has been in glory for decades and once became the number one clan in the world. However, since the death of the clan leader Yang Daosi, with Yang Binglin taking power, the entire family began to fall into civil strife and division. Due to the failure of the coup, Zhao Xun took over the throne and purged the Yang family.

At the critical moment, Yang Daolin stood up. He used the clan leader as his bargaining chip and the family bloodline as the main focus. Finally, he moved his sixth brother Yang Daoan, who was far away in Shuzhou and had heavy troops. Both sides abandoned their past grudges and joined forces again, which aroused Zhao Xun's fear. After cleaning the Yang clan to a certain extent, he began to stop.

Although the Yang clan suffered heavy losses, the remaining tribe members began to unite unprecedentedly and stopped all internal struggles and grievances. Everyone gathered in Yang Daolin, making him brave.

With the failure of Yang Binglin's coup, almost all the members of the Yang clan serving in the court were cleaned up, but Yang Daolin's position as the right prime minister was still retained. This is a political need. Zhao Xun has not yet considered clearly who should inherit the right prime minister. This position is too important. If Yang Daolin goes down, Zhao Xun is not sure that he can get it in his own hands. Since he can't get it, no one else can get it. For such political purposes, Yang Daolin's position as the right prime minister can be preserved.

There is also Yang Run. He is still a political affairs officer at the moment. Although he has no actual position, his political affairs officer at the moment seem a little empty and has no real power. With this identity, Yang Run at least has the reasons and opportunities to participate in the government affairs. Even if he is bystandering, it is good.

Yang Run pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The attitude of the right prime minister is not important. What is important is that anyone is willing to listen to him?"

Li Xun keenly captured a trace of things from Yang Run's words. The tide has been completed. The imperial edict has been issued. Gu Yong and others will soon take office. The political interests of all forces and parties have been divided into the court. This result cannot be changed. The division of the imperial guards and the formation of the new army will definitely continue.
