Chapter 1297 The Emperor's Guard

For opposition parties like Changsun Wuji, especially those with high qualifications and prestige, it is not possible to simply and roughly defeat the opponent.

Especially at this moment, when Zhang Chao first entered the cabinet, if he came up and knocked down Changsun Wuji, no matter what the reason he gave, it might eventually be that others misunderstood him and wanted to eliminate dissidents. This might make Cheng Qian suspicious of him and let Fang Xuanling and other royalists unite together.

In fact, Zhang Chao thinks he is also a royalist, but now many people are still full of doubts. The more this time, Zhang Chaoyue cannot do anything randomly.

Zhang Chao not only couldn't touch him, but also had to provide him with good support. This was a bit similar to Li Shimin's big trolls when he treated Wei Zheng, who made him squirt, and let the whole court know that there was a big troll in the court, Wei Zheng, who was criticized by him every day, and he hated him but never moved him.

In this way, everyone in the world knew that Emperor Li Shimin was an emperor who could accept advice and was polite.

Zhang Chao also needs Changsun Wuji now. Only when he stays well in the court can others believe that Zhang Chao is indeed unwilling to do so, so that everyone can believe in him and be willing to cooperate.

Zhang Chao's way of dealing with Changsun Wuji was to give him high, give him high titles, give him generous salaries, give him the best fiefdom, and then not give him real power.

Now Zhang Chao said to the emperor and the outside world that Changsun Wuji is the third person in the cabinet, but in fact, the real power is the ninth in the cabinet and the bottom. There is no department in charge, and he specializes in external relations.

Changsun's penis turned into Changsun's troll. Zhang Chao was not afraid at all. He couldn't let him have the ability to destroy it. As for squirting, let him squirt.

At the cabinet meeting, Changsun Wuji shouted against each other every day, so that was the decent one. If the cabinet became a one-man show, the emperor would not be able to sleep well.

Zhang Chao's cabinet division of labor was reported, and Li Chengqian issued an edict.

So, the division of labor was clarified.

When Changsun Wuji heard the emperor's edict in the cabinet, he knew that he was actually responsible for the extremely important external contacts of the cabinet, his eyes were red.

What a good Zhang Chao, this is a foolish trick.

Zhang Chao received the order and said to Changsun Wuji with a smile, "Duke Changsun, from now on, the cabinet will be fully entrusted to Changsun. The parliament, Hanlin Academy, the Censorate, Dali Temple, and His Majesty, these are important guarantees to ensure the smooth work of our cabinet. Please, please, from now on."

Changsun Wuji had a dark face and looked at Zhang Chao bowing to him with a stern attitude, almost trying to pounce on him and beat him up.

Too shameless, how can a person be so shameless?

Zhang Chao, who was more than ten years ago, was still a small person who had come and called him away. At that time, Zhang Chao was much simpler than now and liked him much more.

Unexpectedly, the older you get, the worse you get, this Zhang San.

The division of labor is clear, and everyone will have clear responsibilities when doing things in the future.

If you take care of your own part, if there is any problem, first find the prime minister in charge to hold him accountable.

The prime minister is once every five years, but if he does not do well, he can be impeached or even removed.

Zhang Chao said that Changsun Wuji's work is very important, but it is not all about telling lies.

The cabinet is responsible for decision-making and administration, but the cabinet's votes must also be passed through the emperor, and the emperor generally needs to assist with the Hanlin Academy. Therefore, if you communicate well with the Hanlin Academy, then the votes made by the cabinet can be passed more smoothly.

In addition, even if the cabinet's votes are approved, they still have to be reviewed by the six sections of the House of Representatives. If communication is not smooth and it will be rejected at that time, it will be very troublesome. This communication work must be done well.

"Kun Changsun, in order to increase service efficiency, our cabinet must implement an accountability system. Whoever is in charge will be responsible. Changsun Gong is responsible for external relations. If our votes are not approved by the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, this is Changsun Gong's responsibility. I hope Changsun Gong can work harder."

The ugly words are ahead, and Zhang Chao must also be wary of Changsun Wuji's secret actions.

Now that this accountability system is hanging, Changsun Wuji has to be careful. If there are problems in the Hanlin Academy and the House of Commons, Changsun Wuji will be the first to be held accountable.

"It's clear that we've separated now, let's have a meeting."

Zhang Chao is the chief minister and has the power to convene cabinet meetings.

He said that he would have a meeting, then he would have a meeting.

Everyone sat in the cabinet meeting room and round table.

Although it is a round table, it is actually in sequence according to Chinese tradition.

Zhang Chao naturally sat in the first position, and then Fang Xuanling was on the left, and Changsun Wuju was on the right. This is also the current trend in the court, with the left as the respect.

Qin is the left, Han is the right.

From the Six Dynasties to the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Left and the Yuan Dynasties. In ancient times, the left and right were actually different, but now the left is indeed respected.

Changsun Wuji didn't want to sit in the right position, but this position was arranged by Zhang Chao.

Judging from the sorting, it seems that he is really the third in the cabinet, but the more he sits in front, the more he feels, the more he feels.

The other six are arranged in the order of officials, soldiers, courtesy and punishment, and the prime ministers sit down.

"Everyone, Your Majesty has officially passed the reward plan for the meritorious officials discussed before and will be handed over to the Parliamentary Academy for deliberation. The Prime Minister Changsun should go to the Academy of Sciences more to communicate with them and try his best to make the matter pass. This is also the first important decision of our cabinet. I don't want everyone to have a lot of hard work and let me waste it. "

Zhang Chao said the matter very seriously, but if he could not pass it, it would be your Changsun Wuji problem. After all, his vote was intended to be approved by the emperor.

Changsun Wuji didn't even have a reason to object at this time. Zhang Chao took every word and could only eat Huanglian in a mute way, nodding to respond.

"Next, let's discuss the proposal for military system reform. The last time the Changsun Prime Minister raised several oppositions, I think it was very good. If we have any questions, we should point them out. This is the principle of working together. As for me, I discussed with the generals of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the North and South Yamen, and the Navy Yamen, and asked His Majesty for instructions. I have made many adjustments. Now, let's discuss it again."

Zhang Chao came up with several new military system reform plans and handed them to each prime minister.

Changsun Wuji immediately opened it.

I browsed it quickly and found that there were indeed many changes from the last time.

For example, the North and South Yamen were retained, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was divided into the Southern Yamen and the Northern Yamen. The Southern Expedition was called the Guards, and the Northern Yamen was called the Imperial Guards. The North Yamen retained the numbers of the six armies, the Right Yulin, the Right Shen Ce, and the Right Shen Ji, collectively called the Emperor Guards, and each army was set at 20,000. Therefore, the North Yamen had six armies with 120,000 troops, and were responsible for the garrison guards in important areas such as the Han Dynasty, the Western Beijing, Dengzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Beijing Taiyuan.

In addition, there was also a personal army of emperor guards, with the military names of the left and right Qianniu Guards and the left and right Jinwu Guards. The 80,000 people of the four armies were specifically responsible for the guards in the capital.

Although the Emperor's Guards' Four Army were also in the Northern Yai sequence, they were directly under the control of the Emperor.

The Navy has four fleets, the North, East, South, West and West Seas, each with 20,000 people and 80,000 people. It is from Pyongyang, North Korea to Xindu Port.

The Southern Yawei Army was organized into 16 guards, with 20,000 guards each, totaling 320,000.

The guards in the southern yamen have set up guard command departments, and the department has a division headquarters. The command department and division headquarters do not usually govern the guards, only officers and staff members.

The guards are stationed in various places in battalions.

During wartime, according to the orders of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, the troops were gathered, the regiments, brigades, divisions and even group armies were formed, and the imperial court sent generals to command the battle.

The military strength of the Northern Yaya increased to 200,000, and was divided into two systems: the Emperor's Guards and the Emperor's Guards. The Guards were responsible for guarding the five capitals of the Empire, and the Guards personally guarded the Hanjing and the Imperial Palace.

The personal guards actually evolved from the inner three guards and five palaces, but they were no longer appointed as heroes and relatives and children of officials, but were selected as elite soldiers.

But the core of this military system is the system of professional officers, professional non-commissioned officers and conscripts. The total force is still 600,000, and the soldiers and generals are still separated. The central government is also separated from the military and political system. The Ministry of War is responsible for the military and political system, and the Privy Council is responsible for the military and political system.

In general, the three yamen are responsible for the power to command military power, the Privy Council is responsible for the power to transfer military power, and the emperor has the power to select generals.

Each army was stationed in battalions during normal times, and only large units such as regiments and brigade divisions were established during wartime.

However, Changsun Wuji still discovered many different places. In this newly revised military system, the division of responsibilities of the three yamen is more distinct. The Northern yamen is responsible for the five capitals, the Southern yamen is mainly responsible for the four sides, and the Navy is mainly responsible for the coast.

Another thing is that according to Zhang Chao's plan, the soldiers of each yamen and guards will no longer be cross-reserved. In the past, the military palaces of the twelve guards in the South Yamen existed intersectingly. In one road, there may be military palaces of the twelve guards, and basically the military palaces of each yamen are all over the country, not just stationed in one place.

But now, Zhang Chao changed this approach. The sixteen guards of the Nanya, 320,000 people, and the camps below each guard were basically concentrated in one area.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army is the dispatching agency of the Privy Council of the imperial court. This has not changed. However, the Governor's Office of the Five Army is now located in or near the Five Capitals, so it also manages the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya Guards.

However, without the authorization and orders of the emperor, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Army still had no right to directly command troops.

Changsun Wuji felt that there was not much to be picky about Zhang Chao's new plan. And after hearing his son's words last time, he didn't want to pick on it anymore.

Zhang Chao is imperative to reform the military system, and he will definitely not be able to stop him.

He raised his head, looked at Zhang Chao, and asked, "I have no objection to this plan, but how will the generals of the guards arrange it?"

Zhang Chao smiled and said that under this new military system, it doesn’t matter who becomes the general of each army and guard. Because no matter whether it is Nanhe or Beiya, it is usually stationed in various places with battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and no officers or command agencies are set up during wartime.

Although the army and guard level have command agencies and staff, they have no right to command the battalions. Even in wartime, the generals of the guards and the army directly commanded the troops, but asked the emperor to choose other generals, and the soldiers were also drawn from various places.

Under this system, those generals and generals are actually just equivalent to an army rank.

"The personnel issues of the military system reform case must be passed first, and then the military guards will be re-adjusted when the military guards are stationed."

Changsun Wuji said straightforwardly, "I support this military system reform case."

Fang Xuanling read it very carefully and finished it at this time.

"I also support it. I hope to come up with a plan as soon as possible and reorganize it as soon as possible. Those who should change defenses will be replaced, those who should be moved, and those who are dismissed will be dismissed. We cannot let so many soldiers gather in the Gyeonggi area all the time."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji both agreed to the Prime Minister's military system reform case, and the other six auxiliary ministers would not object, so everyone agreed and passed unanimously.
