In mid-October, Quanzhou.

The eldest princess's mansion, under the charge of Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, Yang Biao and others, asked Li Yi to immediately transfer troops from outside the Saiwai to the south, and take advantage of the opportunity to take Luoyang and go west to King Qinwang of Chang'an.

After listening to Zhang Wen and the others, the eldest princess asked in surprise: "The war is the general's business, how can we interfere?" ”

Zhang Wen explained: "Your Highness, it is indeed the general's business to fight, but whether to fight or not, where to fight, is not the general's business, but His Highness's business. ”

"The hussar general is in charge of the military and political affairs of the two states and two capitals of northern Xinjiang, which means that the two states and two capitals are in charge of the military or civil affairs, and the hussar general has the final say. At this time, the hussar general was equivalent to the state pastor of a state. The hussar general supervised the military power of the seven states and the two capitals, which means that when there was a rebellion in these seven states and two capitals, the hussar general could lead the army to quell the rebellion without the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. However, the hussar generals only have the right to command the battlefield, and have no decision-making power and military administrative power in military strategy. ”

"The eldest princess is the daughter of the first emperor and the sister of today's son. At this time when the country is in crisis, it is natural that the family and the country are united, and they must shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the society. With the edict of the first emperor, when the festival and axe awarded by the son today, the eldest princess has great power and influence, and she is already under one person and above ten thousand. On this basis, the hussar general, as a minister, had to consult on everything, and there should be no transgression in the slightest, so as not to violate the etiquette and law. ”

"In addition, today's edict ordered the eldest princess to supervise the military administration of the two capitals of the seven states. Although the eldest princess's governor of the seven states and the two protectorates of the military administration has great power, it cannot be simply understood as the governor of the seven states and the two protectorates. If a person has such great power, isn't it equivalent to half the son of heaven in the Great Han Kingdom, so can the emperor still sit firmly? He was killed within two days. ”

"This matter of supervising the military affairs of several states generally occurs in extraordinary times of the country, and it must be a member of the royal family who is in charge of this power, and this power is subject to the Son of Heaven. The common constraints of the imperial court and the governorate states. To put it simply, it has no personnel and financial powers, cannot replace state and county governors, and cannot levy state and county financial endowments, and its greatest power is actually the coordination power generated by relying on imperial power. ”

"For example, now that there is an ant thief riot somewhere, the eldest princess can coordinate with the governor of the two capitals of the seven states. Coordinate the deployment of troops, money and food for counterinsurgency. At this time, the hussar general was equivalent to the state pastor of Yizhou, and Yuan Shao was much worse, but he was just a Taishou of Bohai County and a subordinate of Jizhou Mu Han Fu. ”

"Another example is to beat Dong Zhuo this time. Dong Zhuo has a lot of power, holds the authority of the state, and acts as an agent for state affairs, if the Son of Heaven does not say that he is a traitor, who in the world dares to say that he is a traitor? Whoever says that whoever is a rebel, like Yuan Shao and Han Fu are now the rebels of my big man. ”

"But Dong Zhuo is indeed a traitor. Today's son is young, how can he distinguish Dong Zhuo's treachery and loyalty? Moreover, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, he just wanted to say that Dong Zhuo was a traitor, but he didn't dare to say it. At this time, the eldest princess needs to come forward. The eldest princess came forward to call on the states and counties of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, the king of Qin Xingguo, Kuang Zheng Han, and the world did not obey him. In other words, before the Son of Heaven did not solve the predicament. The eldest princess is in charge of the state and acts as an agent for state affairs. The hussar general has great power. He is also subject to the control of the eldest princess, and the decision-making power of military strategy and military administration are in the hands of the eldest princess. ”

"Why did the hussar general tell the eldest princess about the attack on Luoyang? Herein lies the reason. At present, it seems that Li Yi is still a loyal minister of my Han. The choice of the first emperor back then was indeed right, and it was not wrong for the first emperor to let His Royal Highness go to northern Xinjiang, whether my Han can prosper again, hope is on the hussar general. ”

The eldest princess doesn't seem to understand. She feared that she would annoy the hussar generals by interfering in the war. Therefore, she was reluctant to put her own seal on the paperwork.

Zhang Wen asked, "Doesn't His Highness want to rescue the Son of Heaven?" Don't want to save the community? ”

The eldest princess shook her head.

Zhang Wen said: "Then please stamp the letter with Your Highness." ”

………………

Mu Guiying was furious when she received the resolution sent by Zhang Wen.

The conscription went south, all the way to cooperate with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to feint to attack Luoyang, and all the way to attack Chang'an with the main army. Fighting on two fronts, how is this possible? Where's the money? Where is the food?

We are going to attack Dong Zhuo. It is equivalent to not recognizing the current imperial court, so the decision-making power of military strategy should be temporarily attributed to the Hussar General's Mansion, not the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Zhang Wen retorted: "Who raised the banner of King Qin's fight against Dong? Is it the eldest princess or the hussar general? ”

Mu Guiying also retorted: "Who is in command of the more than 200,000 border troops in northern Xinjiang? Is it the eldest princess or the hussar general? ”

Zhang Wen sneered: "Within the four seals, it is not the king's land, the hair that eats the soil, and it is not the king's minister." Every grass and tree in this world belongs to the Son of Heaven, not to mention the hussar generals and the 200,000 border troops in northern Xinjiang. Could it be that Mrs. Fei Mu thinks that these 200,000 border troops are the private property of the hussar general? ”

Mu Guiying's face changed suddenly.

………………

In mid-October, Luoyang City, the hussar general marched.

Since Li Yi attacked Luoyang and Dong Zhuo decided not to attack Luoyang directly, the Jingluo region has fallen into a state of confrontation, and at the same time, it has also fallen into a temporary state of calm. Dong Zhuo sent an army of 70,000 troops, divided into two places, one on the left and one on the right to threaten Luoyang, and then personally led an army of 30,000 to Yingchuan and Nanyang.

Li Yi didn't react to this, just stayed quietly.

The flying pigeon passed the book and delivered Mu Guiying's letter to Li Yi in one day and one night.

Governor Mu Guiying asked Li Yi to immediately return to Quanzhou to preside over the overall situation when the fighting in Luoyang was suspended. Pingyu General Zhang Fei and Wuwei General Chang Yuchun (who has been promoted from Zhonglang General to General) are both in Luoyang, and there are generals like Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to assist, what are the generals worried about? At present, the most critical problem in northern Xinjiang is not to seek Dong Qinwang, nor to provide food and wealth, but to distribute power. If we allow the power of the eldest princess to expand rapidly in northern Xinjiang, the eldest princess and the general will inevitably fall into a power struggle, and there will be no peace in northern Xinjiang, and everything the general wants to do will come to naught.

Mu Guiying explained in detail the analysis of the current situation and the countermeasures proposed by the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Due to the different views of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Hussar General's Mansion on the current situation, the countermeasures are also very different, and the differences between the two mansions are very large, and there is no possibility of coordination at all.

It is precisely because the differences between the two governments cannot be reconciled that the issue of the distribution of power between the two governments has inevitably been put on the table, and the most intense controversy is the issue of the distribution of military power.

The Northern Xinjiang army is now the backbone of Dong Qinwang and the stability of Sheji, whose command is this army currently under its command? Is the decision-making power and military administration of military strategy subordinate to the eldest princess or the hussar general?

Mu Guiying said: "Zhang Wen and I have only discussed this matter privately, and the two governments have not yet formally discussed it, obviously he wants to know the attitude of his husband in order to react quickly." My prestige and qualifications can't be compared with Zhang Wen, and I don't know what my husband's attitude is towards this matter, so I don't have the confidence and dare not argue with Zhang Wen about this matter. I said a few words in anger that I didn't know the importance of, but Zhang Wen asked me, "Is the Northern Xinjiang Army the private property of the general?" I was terrified. Zhang Wen said a word, indicating that the eldest princess and they had made up their minds to get the military decision-making power and administrative power of the Northern Xinjiang army. ”

"Husband, you must know that now Dong Zhuo has fallen out with us, he wants to do everything possible to attack and suppress his husband, if at this time Zhang Wen secretly wrote to the Son of Heaven in the name of the eldest princess, begging the Son of Heaven to put the Northern Xinjiang army under the control of the eldest princess, do you say that the Son of Heaven and Dong Zhuo will agree? The chaos in northern Xinjiang is great news for Dong Zhuo. ”

From this point, we can also see Dong Zhuo's intention to ask the Son of Heaven to give the eldest princess the title of the two protectorates of the seven prefectures and the two capitals, and send seven ministers from the court to the north to assist the eldest princess. The purpose of the ministers of the DPRK and China was of course to force us to attack Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo could not have known it, but he knew his husband better. He knew that in order to fight for control of the army, the northern frontier would definitely be chaotic. ”

"Dong Zhuo saw that the opportunity for chaos in Northern Xinjiang had come, and he would definitely ask the Son of Heaven to agree to the eldest princess's request. When the holy decree arrives in northern Xinjiang, does the husband accept the decree or resist the decree? If you accept the holy decree, the eldest princess and Zhang Wen will definitely put you in the air, you must know that there are nine generals and more than ten lieutenant generals in northern Xinjiang, and anyone can lead the troops to fight. But these people led the troops to fight Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo may not be afraid. If you don't accept the holy decree, openly disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, and ignore the majesty of the eldest princess, then the husband has always flaunted that he respects the Son of Heaven, and what is the explanation for revitalizing the society? In the eyes of the officials in Northern Xinjiang, what is the difference between you and Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao? After the prestige and faithfulness of the husband have been severely attacked, how will the northern frontier be suppressed in the future? ”

"Since the eldest princess arrived in Northern Xinjiang, due to her dignity and prominence in identity and status, all the officials of the Northern Xinjiang Prefecture, the wealthy men of the gates, the Confucian scholars, and the people of cloth all respect her like a god. The first emperor has two sons and a daughter, and now the king of Hongnong and the son of heaven are in trouble, only this eldest princess took the edict of the first emperor to the north and took on the important task of saving Sheji, which shows her weight in the hearts of the world. ”

"In the past, Northern Xinjiang was the most respected as a husband, and the husband had the final say in everything. But now it's different, although the husband still holds a lot of power, but in front of the eldest princess, the husband is just a minister. So now in Northern Xinjiang, the eldest princess represents the Han Dynasty and the Son of Heaven, and there is only the eldest princess in the hearts of Northern Xinjiang people, and the husband has taken a back seat in everyone's minds. At this time, if the husband openly resists the decree and breaks with the eldest princess, he will inevitably be blamed by all parties, and the officials in the northern Xinjiang will also be separated from the husband, and even if the northern Xinjiang is not chaotic, it will leave a deep worry. ”

"If Fujun is the same person as Dong Zhuo in everyone's minds, then whether in the Northern Xinjiang Army or in the Northern Xinjiang Mansions, there will be people who secretly contact the eldest princess and plot to kill you. It's not that I'm alarmist, look at Dong Zhuo, how many people want to kill him now? Once there is a riot in northern Xinjiang, does the husband still have the power to return to heaven?
