261, Yan Lide, the superintendent

Jingwen returned to Pinglu County with more than 2,000 people and told everyone good news. As a result, the entire Pingyu County was boiling, and they were obviously happy that Jingwen was able to get the position of this coach. And those soldiers who were selected into the Snow Shame Army were much more relieved, because Jingwen was one of the only people they could trust in Datang. As for the emperor, the distance was too far, but it gave them a sense of distance. And Jingwen can be by their side, he is a person who can be seen and touched, so they hope that Jingwen can come and serve as their commander. Now that they got what they wanted, they were naturally relieved. And they don't care that this festival envoy is just a temporary official position, as long as they know that Jingwen is their head, then it's fine.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" A eunuch came.

"Listen to the Hadith!" Jingwen said immediately.

"Wailang Jingwen, a member of the Ministry of Rites, can fight well...... Specially appointed as the envoy of the Snow Shame Army Festival! Chin this! ”

Jingwen heard this edict, that is, the edict appointing Jingwen as the envoy of the festival. Jingwen didn't feel surprised, because Li Shimin had already announced that he was going to add an edict.

"Command!" Jingwen said.

"Father-in-law, this is ......" Jingwen was about to give some money.

"Wait, there's more!" Father-in-law said.

Then, the father-in-law took out a decree again and read it.

"The province in the palace is still dressed in the royal Yan Lide, loyal to the country...... Specially appointed as the Shameful Military Supervisor! Chin this! ”

When Jingwen heard this holy decree, he felt in his heart that a million grass and mud horses were passing by. This second holy decree is very obvious, that is, a prison army was sent to Jingwen. The so-called prison army, of course Jingwen knows who it is, and in Jingwen's eyes, he is a guy who eats people and doesn't do personnel. A lot of the prison guards on TV are a bunch of bastards. There are many prison troops, relying on the power granted by the emperor to supervise the generals, constantly restraining the army generals, so that they not only have to face the frontal enemy. They also have to face the constraints of the prison army. And these prison guards are all guys who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures. Many battles were fought because of the problems of the prison army, and they were lost. However, the emperor was still happy to send the overseers, apparently to supervise the generals at the front and prevent them from rebelling. And the emperor sometimes sent civil officials to supervise the army, sometimes sent eunuchs to supervise the army, and sometimes sent the imperial history to supervise the army. And this time Jing Wen happened to know that this prison was a eunuch before, that is, Jing Wen's colleague.

The previous position of this superintendent was the head of the Shangyi Bureau of the Dianzhong Province, that is, the head of the Shangyi Bureau of the Dianzhong Province. And Jingwen's position in the palace province is food doctor. So strictly speaking, they used to be colleagues. Now he actually sent a eunuch as a supervisor, which made Jing Wen constantly complain in his heart. Shouldn't the emperor use people without suspicion, but not with suspicious people? Since he appointed himself as the envoy of this festival, he should trust himself, but now he actually sent a prison guard, which made Jing Wen very uncomfortable in his heart. Imagine what Lord would have a good opinion of those who oversee him.

"Chen Yan Lide takes the order!" The prison soldier Yan Lide said.

Jingwen saw this Yan Lide, about thirty years old, and full of bookish atmosphere. It doesn't look like an arrogant person. Jingwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this guy shouldn't be so difficult to serve.

"Alright, two, we're done. Let's go. The emperor said, I hope you can cooperate well, unite sincerely, and be loyal to my Datang! The eunuch said.

The eunuch was soon gone. And the scene was a little cold. Jingwen didn't know what to say to this prison army, and that prison army Yan Lide didn't know how to find a topic for a while, because since ancient times, generals and prison soldiers have been a pair of opponents!

"Brother Yan. Hello! Jingwen arched his hand and said.

"Brother Jingwen Xian, we have all worked in the palace province, please don't mind. This is the emperor's intention, and it is also for our subordinates to win and avoid suspicion. It's not that the emperor doesn't trust you, but that your nature is too special, there are 40,000 people. And I came to serve as the supervisor of the army, which was proposed by the ministers, not the emperor's intention. Moreover, as human ministers, we must also be cautious, so as to avoid criticism from others! Yan Lide said.

But Jingwen complained: "Then why don't the other sixteen guards have a prison army? ”

"That's because you're in a special situation. Although the other twelve guards control the soldiers of the world, the general of the guards cannot directly command the soldiers, but only lead them remotely. However, the three powers of our Tang Dynasty military power are separated, and the right to transfer troops is classified as the military department, but the military department cannot directly command the troops. However, the power to command the troops was handed over to the local Zhichong Prefecture, but the commander of the local Zhichong Prefecture was not allowed to send troops without authorization. As for the command during the battle, that is, when the battle broke out, the emperor temporarily granted a certain general the Tiger Talisman, and then he could transfer troops to command. Once the battle is over, it's time to return the Tiger Talisman. Didn't you also get the Tiger Talisman last time Jingwen, and you have to return it when you come back? Yan Lide asked.

After listening to Yan Lide's words, Jingwen finally knew why other armies didn't need to supervise the army. Because the military power of the Tang Dynasty was separated from each other, no one could directly have absolute military power, which was the emperor's defense against his courtiers. In this way, the separation of military power can avoid the concentration of military power, which causes the generals to support the troops and self-respect, and then divide the feudal towns in the back. Later, because of the long-term possession of the right to command troops, the right to transfer troops, and the right to command, the result was the privatization of the army.

And Jingwen's current situation is different from other armies, Jingwen has the right to directly command the soldiers. Because the more than 40,000 people under Jingwen are all real soldiers, and they are all gathered together, which can be handed over to Jingwen to command at any time. In this case, if the emperor did not send a prison army, would he be able to sleep peacefully? Moreover, the soldiers here are less than twenty miles away from Chang'an City, and if something really goes wrong, the emperor will be unlucky. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Li Shimin will inevitably send a prison guard. This is not a question of trust or distrust, this is a question of establishing rules. Jingwen is now a "soldier" of 40,000 people, so it is necessary to send a supervising army, if this kind of person does not have a supervising army, then the civil and military officials will definitely sue. When the time comes, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Therefore, the emperor sent a supervising army to avoid the suspicion of the emperor and civil and military officials to the greatest extent, so hello, hello, everyone.

"Overseer, then supervise it well!" Jing Wen complained in his heart. (To be continued......)
