19. Hook up the Divine Army

After asking Cui Zao's opinion, the emperor was obviously in a much more relaxed mood, but he did not let Gao Yue go, but asked Gao Yue to stay in the courtyard immediately, and he had something to ask alone.

Before asking the right question alone, Gao Yue's heart had been touched, and he remembered that when he was supervising the soldiers and poor households in Shangjin Province to carry wealth and grain, he had met Liu Yan who was going east, and Liu Yan told him very clearly that the order of the Tang Dynasty in the future would be determined by Cao Yun.

"This is what we will call hereafter, the lifeblood!" Gao Yue sighed that the defeat of Li Shiping's domain in the past and the current contradictions between Han Yun and the central court were all determined by the struggle for the power of Cao Yun.

After Cui Zao retreated, the emperor sat behind the screen, and sat opposite Gao Yue.

Gao Yue understood this, and immediately took out a document book from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor took it and looked at it, and his heart was full of joy, "Two million and seven hundred and seventy thousand." ”

Gao Yue said yes, the account of this money came from like this - he was the ambassador of the imperial city, and the bureaucrats, monasteries, and merchants in the city who were rebellious or had the possibility of rebellion came to him to plead for intercession, so he honestly registered his own property in detail in this book, hoping to hand over part of the ransom money in the future to atone for his crimes, but who would have thought that after Li Sheng entered the city, he would kill all over the city according to the list of imperial records given by the emperor, so many of the family properties of the souls of the dead under the knife were directly "accepted".

There are nearly three million of them.

This made Li Shi overjoyed, and immediately said: "The big rebel and the rebel have all the official assets." "When he put down the Heshuo rebellion before, he forcibly levied the intershelf tax, except for the money and tithes of the people of Chang'an, and the people were so complaining that he only got two million yuan, but he never expected that the family property of this group of officials who stayed in Chang'an City would have so much!

If you start with some officials early, it will not cause a "long martial artist change".

"Gao Qing, this money ......"

"Your Majesty, half of the money received is in the Jingzhao Mansion Mansion, and half is in the Changsheng Treasury of Anguo Temple." Gao Yue said that there is no need to ask about this kind of thing personally, I have already done it steadily.

"Good, good." The Emperor hurriedly complimented.

Then Gao Yue asked Li Shi that this large amount of stolen money would immediately enter His Majesty's big surplus treasury, which could solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, and immediately levy Li Huaiguang or reward the soldiers of the camp, these three million are enough. Therefore, "Please abolish the shelves, remove the moths, and tithes for the sake of the people of Gyeonggi and even the world." ”

Li Shi was very satisfied, Gao Yue was acquainted, and knew that this money should go into his private treasury, since the mutiny, now Li Shi no longer trusts the treasury under the control of the prime minister.

The money should be taken care of by me personally.

So Li Shi pushed the boat down the river and agreed to Gao Yue's request, saying that those previous policies were harsh and not my original wish, and now they can be abolished altogether.

Then the two got up, except for the inner hall, pacing in the courtyard, talking as they walked.

The emperor asked Gao Yue again, what do you think of Han Yun's matter, it is inconvenient for you to say it here, you can speak freely now.

Gao Yue only put forward an opinion, and he said to Li Shijin: "Han Yun is in charge of the southeast power, but he has never rebelled against the country, and His Majesty must not only block it, but also loosen it." ”

"Then according to Gao Qing's opinion, how to sparse?"

"Han Rong strongly advocated the use of troops against Helong after quelling the rebellion, so His Majesty can cut his interests and rights on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can set up the right camp of Shence in Jingyuan and Fengxiang, and induce Han Rong to send rice and grain and money from the southeast to help with salary, and within two or three years, the right camp can have 50,000 elites, and then cooperate with other border armies in the northwest, Shudi, and Shannan and west, and can attack and defend Xifan."

"This 'sparse' strategy is not bad, but Gao Qing, do you have confidence in the war in Xifan?"

Gao Yue thought to himself, as long as you don't be as fierce as a tiger in a slight operation, with Duan Xiushi, Li Sheng and my father-in-law, plus the support of me and Wei Gao, it is still more than enough to deal with Xifan.

But he couldn't praise these people too much, for fear of arousing this person's suspicion, so he took a detour, saying, "As long as the right battalion of the Shence Army is formed, and Your Majesty appoints the commander of the competent Gancheng City, it will be able to open the border and restore the land." ”

"Then I have Luo Yuanguang as the commander of the right battalion, can I?" The Emperor asked tentatively.

Gao Yue's eyes rolled slightly, he knew that Luo Yuanguang had always been at odds with Li Sheng in the Shence army system, but Xing Junya had always been the only one who looked forward to Li Sheng, so he replied, "According to Chen Yue's humble opinion, the right battalion can be led by the left and right Shence soldiers and horses, which are ...... by General Luo Yuanguang and General Gao Chongwen."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly interjected, "I want to use Tan Zhizhong, the general of the left prison gate, to be the right camp of the gods, and to take charge of the northwest Zhumafang, what is it?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Yue seemed to hear the sneer of the gears of history rolling forward.

Sure enough, Li Shi is still Li Shi, after this broadcast and relocation of Fengtiancheng, he felt that it was not okay to hand over the forbidden army to a military general like Wang Jiahe, and it was not okay to give a civil servant like Bai Zhizhen, and finally he still considered using the most trusted eunuch to "supervise" the forbidden army.

The so-called "supervision" means supervision.

And the so-called "hook" is the meaning of the supervisor.

That is to say, if Tan Zhizhong "supervises" the right battalion of Shence, he will not only perform the original function of "watching the army", but also directly take charge of this army, and Luo Yuanguang and Gao Chongwen, although their rank may be equal to Tan Zhizhong, they should only be responsible for leading the army during the war.

This measure of using eunuchs and eunuchs to prohibit the army was later institutionalized, that is, the famous "Shence Lieutenant System" that influenced the entire history of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty.

The germ of this system, of course, Gao Yue ......

There will be no objections.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, the forbidden army should not be run by other people, whether it is the envoy of the festival or the prime minister of the Southern Ya, it will not be truly trusted by the emperor, and the team of the forbidden army should only belong to himself, but as the emperor, it is impossible to really run to manage it directly, in the final analysis, the emperor still needs an agent to take charge of the army for himself.

And this agent, Li Shi chose to come and go, and absorbed the previous lessons, so it was natural and inevitable to choose the eunuchs around him.

The eunuchs were attached to the imperial power, and they were the least likely to usurp the imperial power, which was the actual consideration of the emperor.

Very real and very realistic.

Gao Yue was not strong enough to "use his mantis arm as a car" in front of the wheel of historical development, and naturally he would not object to the emperor's ideas.

Of course, there is another reason, he himself has a very good relationship with eunuchs like Tan Zhizhong and Huo Zhongtang.

"The camp is handled by General Tan on weekdays, and during the war, it is commanded by the two generals Luo and Gao, so that the two are not hindered, and Your Majesty can have a deep view of the situation of the front-line military town, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Hearing this, Li Shi hummed with satisfaction.

Then the emperor looked at Gao Yue and asked, "......What is Zhu Zhu's matter?"

Gao Yue took out an oval white ivory wat board.

It was stained with blood, "This is what Zhu Jun used to smash Dong Qin before he died." ”

The emperor looked at the wat board and sighed, "This is a good smash, very good." I want to greatly commend Zhu Jun for this move, what kind of nickname do you say is it good to posthumously seal him? ”
