The Son of Heaven was very happy to learn that Li Yi had agreed to build a palace for him in Jicheng. He decided to go one step further and take back his power.

It turned out that after arriving in Quanzhou, the ministers of the court and the central government reformed the imperial court in order to restrict the Son of Heaven and Li Yi. After reaching the final decision, the eldest princess is responsible for explaining to the Son of Heaven.

At that time, the Son of Heaven had just arrived in northern Xinjiang, and he was still in a state of panic, because he was worried about the situation in Chang'an, so he had to agree. This was the time of the mass appointment in early August.

However, after these months of seeing and hearing, he was more at ease and decided to fight back and take power back from the ministers.

Although the Son of Heaven had no right to intervene in political affairs in Chang'an, a group of ministers taught the Son of Heaven many checks and balances and ways to seize power from the hands of powerful ministers in order to confront Dong Zhuo at that time.

The Son of Heaven knew that as long as the power was concentrated in his own hands, he could do what he wanted like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu, and he was unwilling to become a tool of the ministers and a decoration in the court again as in the past.

The Son of Heaven told the eldest princess his thoughts, as well as Dong Cheng, Fu De, Sun Rui, the Great Honglu Shi, Feng Shuo, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Yang Qi and other ministers. His reason is very simple, according to this kind of official system, there is no difference between himself and in Chang'an.

The Son of Heaven said emotionally: "I will not govern until I am twenty years old, but I have no roots in Hebei. Six years later, the court must be all Hebei officials, all hussar generals, who will listen to what I say? ”

The eldest princess was very surprised and said: "In order to gain His Majesty's trust, the hussar general has retreated again and again, how can you trust the hussar general?" This policy of revising the official system was basically formulated by several old ministers such as Taifu, Da Situ, and Taichang, and the hussar general did not mean to be in charge alone, don't you see this? If the hussar general retreats again, it is not the hussar general who is afraid, but the Hebei officials and the generals of northern Xinjiang, and the consequences are self-evident. ”

"I have already told you that the hussar general personally promised me that after six years, if the world is calm, he will never enter Beijing as an official, never interfere in the affairs of the court, and he will keep his promise to his father and the emperor and defend the northern frontier for the Han Dynasty. If you still don't trust him, then there are three ministers Taifu, Da Situ, and Da Sikong to contain him, what are you worried about? ”

"Taifu's old ministers are old, and there is no force in Hebei, and the hussar general can kill them at any time. Although it is said that there are four ministers now, only the hussar general is really speaking. Fu De persuaded, "Your Highness, don't forget, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he did a good job, but within a few days, his violence and bloodshed were all at a glance. ”

The eldest princess's face turned red, and she asked the Son of Heaven very angrily: "When I explained to you that day, why did you agree?" Didn't you say trust me? ”

The Son of Heaven opened his mouth and turned his face to look at Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng didn't dare to speak. He turned his face to look at Feng Shuo and Yang Qi again, and the two didn't dare to speak.

"Your Highness, who is the most powerful today? It's a hussar general. Fu De said excitedly, "The hussar general is in charge of the military and political power of the two capitals of the six states, which is equivalent to controlling half of the Han Dynasty......

"Shut up for me." The eldest princess scolded angrily, "Are you blind? What time is it? Where did the hussar general come from the military and political power of the six states and two capitals? Without a hussar general, how can we pacify the world? Rely on you? It's still up to you to ......."

The eldest princess pointed at Dong Cheng and Feng Shuo, and scolded angrily: "If you continue to instigate the Son of Heaven to cause trouble and discipline, don't wait for the hussar general to make a move, I will kill you first." ”

The Son of Heaven and the crowd were shocked.

"Sister, you ......," the Son of Heaven cried out in fear, "the facts are here, how can I rule the world if this continues?" ”

"Where is your world now?" The eldest princess said angrily, "The world has collapsed, and now you have to rely on the hussar generals, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and the powerful northern Xinjiang army to help you fight back little by little." You've been in Chang'an for so many years, what else have you learned besides playing chess? ”

The eldest princess was extremely disappointed. She slowly stood up, looked at the Son of Heaven, and said word by word: "Don't mess around. The revision of the official system is related to the great cause of Zhongxing and cannot be changed. At least in the six years that you have not been in charge, you can't change it. ”

The Son of Heaven looked down at the desk and whispered, "Won't my sister help me?" ”

The eldest princess said angrily, "Why didn't I help you? If I hadn't helped you, would you have been able to sit here unharmed and think about killing the hussar general? You're so disappointing. If I help you in this kind of thing, it will harm you, kill you, and overthrow the man. ”

"I don't want to stay in the north anymore." The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I've had enough of these days, I don't want to stay in the northern frontier." ”

"Okay, if you don't want to stay in Northern Xinjiang, then I'll find someone to send you back to Chang'an immediately." The eldest princess brushed her sleeves away.

Sun Rui, the great Honglu scholar, hurriedly found the Taifu Ma Riyan, the Great Situ Zhang Wen, and the Great Sikong Zhou Zhong, and told them about the dispute between the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess. Finally, Shi Sunrui said: "The reform of the official system has a far-reaching impact, which has touched the interests of the Son of Heaven now, and will touch the interests of more people in the future." I think you're in too much of a hurry, and this step is too big. ”

Zhang Wen sneered: "If you don't take a big step, the big man will be finished." ”

In fact, long before Zhang Wen and others arrived in northern Xinjiang, these ministers had a debate on the revision of the official system in Chang'an. After Zhang Wen arrived in northern Xinjiang, he implemented the official system for a period of time in the Quanzhou court with the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant and the imperial historian as the three dukes, and he felt that the effect was good. This time, because he took into account the bearing capacity of the Son of Heaven, he did not revise the official system in place all at once. In his view, the return of the three public powers to the prime minister is the end of the revision of the official system.

Of course, this prime minister must be held by him.

"The Son of Heaven has grown up, and he has been in Chang'an for so many years, he is very eager for power, and he is also very sensitive......" Shi Sun Rui hesitated for a moment, and finally said the next words, "I think, we still discuss with the Great Sima Hussar General." ”

"So, Brother Junce has agreed to give up the power we have taken back?" Zhang Wen frowned and asked.

Shisun Rui smiled bitterly. After a while, he shook his head and said helplessly, "What now?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't want to stay in the northern frontier, but he just wants to blackmail the hussar general, and he can't make any big waves." Ma Riyan smiled and said, "Jun Ce, don't forget, Your Majesty's spearhead is not aimed at us, but at the hussar general. ”

Then he looked at the three of them, stretched out a finger and shook it in the air, and said proudly, "This is a good opportunity." ”

Shisun Rui looked at Ma Riyan in a little surprise, and suddenly realized. This is indeed an excellent opportunity to strike at the warriors of Northern Xinjiang.

Li Yi is the general of the Great Sima Hussars, and he also receives the Shangshu affairs, which is equivalent to taking all the military decision-making, administrative and battlefield command powers of the Han Dynasty.

But he was not satisfied, he let Cai Yong lead Taichang, Kou Zhun led Guangluxun, Tian Feng led Weiwei, Guan Ning led Jinwu, Bing Yuan led the minister, Guangyang Taishou Zhuge Xuan led Si Lixiao Lieutenant (Chapter 560 wrote Zhuge Xuan as Zhuge Jin, which is corrected here), Zhong Xuan led the imperial history Zhongcheng, and Chen Qun was Shang Shuling. These people are all Li Yi's henchmen, and after Li Yi's henchmen occupy these positions, they are equivalent to firmly controlling the Son of Heaven, the hundred officials of the imperial court and the wealth of the Han Dynasty.

Guangluxun used to be called Lang Zhongling, and Emperor Guangwu was changed to Guangluxun, in charge of the palace guards, and prepared prestige and out of the chariot, with 5,000 tigers, 128 Yulin Lang, and 1,700 Yulin left and right.

But Guangluxun's authority is much more than that.

First of all, the think tank team of the Son of Heaven is concentrated here, and Guangluxun's subordinate officials include Doctor Guanglu, Doctor Taizhong, Doctor Counselor, Yilang and other officials, all of whom are people who give advice to the Son of Heaven.

Secondly, this is where the alternate officials are intensively trained and examined. All kinds of Lang officials, such as Zhonglang, Shilang, Huben, Yulin and others, can not only serve as the guards of the Son of Heaven, but also can be sent out at any time to serve as officials at all levels.

In addition, the person who took the edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven is also here.

As a result, this position has always been in high demand in the imperial court.

The Captain was responsible for guarding the gates of Miyagi, patrolling Miyagi and driving in and out of the chariots. Before Emperor Guangwu, the number of guards under the jurisdiction of Weiwei was 20,000 or 10,000, and Emperor Guangwu reduced the number to 2,500 in order to save money. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the number of defenders was expanded to 20,000 again.

In this revision of the official system, the number of guards under the jurisdiction of the guard is tentatively set at 3,000. This is also known as the Southern Army.

In the past, he was called a lieutenant, commanding the Northern Army, and was responsible for the defense of the capital and Kyoya. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he changed the lieutenant to the ruling Jinwu, and was only responsible for the garrison and patrol of the Beijing Division, and his authority was greatly reduced.

Guangluxun, Wei Wei and Taichang are the three Shangqing, which belong to the Great Sima Mansion. Zhijingo is subordinate to the General's Mansion. Guangluxun, Wei Wei and Zhi Jinwu were all controlled by Li Yi.

Founded during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sili Xiaowei was an independent supervisory body directly under the Son of Heaven, holding a scepter granted by the imperial court as a sign of his privileges. In addition to being responsible for the picketing of the seven counties of Jingya, the lieutenant of Sili is also responsible for supervising the hundred officials below the three princes of Jingshi, and can be ordered to arrest criminals and arrest the minister, even if it is inevitable that the foreign relatives of the dictatorship.

Li Yi was the first to recommend Huwei General Tai Shi Ci to be the ruling Jinwu, but Tai Shi Ci resolutely refused, he had to lead the troops. Li Yi was helpless and wanted to appoint other military generals in Northern Xinjiang as the ruling Jinwu, but still no one was willing, and in the end he could only appoint Guan Ning, who was not considered a military general, to be the ruling Jinwu. But even so, Li Yi still did not give up this position and firmly held it in his hands.

Li Yi relied on these people to be supplemented by the court, and he could completely control the authority of the Han Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
