It was at this time that Dark Arrow's reputation began to spread throughout Feng Country. To Minister of Imperial Court, they did not need to grasp any evidence. After they were arrested, they used all kinds of methods to severely torture the person, because there were too many people involved in and captured by the Dark Arrow, Tang Yin had no choice but to assign Dark Arrow's large independent house to be used as a detention center for the Dark Arrow. Even though this house didn't have any name, those who knew the inside information all called it Hidden House. No matter who it was, as long as they were caught in Hidden House, even if they didn't die, a layer of their skin would still be peeled off.
The arrow shot out with Tang Yin as its backer, lawless and unrestrained, causing all the ministers to panic, feeling that they were in danger, afraid that they would be trapped in the Hidden House the moment they woke up. However, the insanity of the Dark Arrow was only used on Minister of Imperial Court, it did not affect ordinary people. As a result, outside, there were only rumors of the Dark Arrow, but it did not cause any panic amongst the people.
The Feng Country Palace.
Ever since he had become a Feng King, Tang Yin's life had become abnormally busy. In the past, the entire country's government was handled by the imperial government, and now, most of it fell to him alone. Luckily, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and the rest were able to help him, and with the addition of the personnel appointment, it took him a lot of effort as well, he did not only have a few prime ministers and Great General s, with hundreds of large and small positions, all of which required Tang Yin to think of suitable people, and with all of which, even his private life was no longer his personal matter. His every move, every line, and even the way he dressed up needed to follow the rules and conduct of the king.
Right now, Tang Yin was standing in the study in plain clothes, with a few palace maids helping him measure his stature, in order to order the Sovereign King's royal robe for him. At the other side of the study, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan were seated around a table, looking at their expressions, the four of them were not at ease.
Tang Yin stretched out his arms, allowing the palace maids to measure his strength. At the same time, he turned his head and said: "I plan to establish a new position in the various counties, County Commandant."
Hearing that, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan looked at each other, but did not say a word. Shangguan Yuanji had always been in charge of the various counties, and had the authority to create new posts. Shangguan Yuanji asked in puzzlement: "Great King, the specific authority of this County Commandant is …"
"Manage the county army." Tang Yin said: "Or perhaps it should be said that they are the troops stationed at the various counties." After pausing for a moment, he continued, "In the future, the various counties will no longer have their own county army, and all their armies will be under the unified command of the imperial government. In addition, the County Head will no longer have the authority to command and move all their armies, and even if it is the County Commandant, they will only have the authority to manage their armies. Yuanji, what do you think? "
Tang Yin was born in a County Head, so he was well aware of how much authority a County Head held over places. If he could once more control the army in the counties, once he had the intention to rebel, there would be endless troubles in the future. The main purpose of transferring the command of the county army to the imperial government and adding County Commandant was precisely to separate the authority of the County Head.
Shangguan Yuanji pondered over Tang Yin's words as he quietly nodded his head. He felt that Tang Yin's methods were more beneficial to the imperial government and the peace of the place. He cupped his hands and said, "Great King, I think it is feasible."
Seeing that Shangguan Yuanji agreed with him, Tang Yin was very happy. He turned around and asked: "Tell me, who will be the most suitable person to take the position of Great General?"
Hearing this, all four of them had the same serious expression on their faces. Great General was the person in charge of the entire nation's Central Army and was responsible for the entire nation's army. Not only did he have to be loyal and devoted to Tang Yin, he also had to have extremely strong abilities, or else, like Ziyang Haochun, if he were to rashly send troops, killing more than 200,000 people in a short amount of time could happen again.
Just from the looks of the generals under Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuan was the one who had shouted the loudest, but not to mention the other things, just his outstanding Spirit Force was enough for him to suppress the rest. However, Shangguan Yuan was Shangguan Yuanji's blood brother, so in order to avoid suspicion, Shangguan Yuanji would naturally not take the initiative to recommend Shangguan Yuan to him, and Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan also had their own concerns, Shangguan Yuanji was basically the best candidate for the Right Prime Minister, if Shangguan Yuan agreed to take over the position of Great General, then the Shangguan Family's power would be too great, three first-grade officials, the Shangguan family would immediately occupy two positions, and Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan would not be willing to see such a situation happen.
Qiu Zhen's eyes turned, and he said: "Yuanyun General is truly courageous and warlike, unrivalled in the army, and is obviously the best candidate to be his opponent, but Yuanyun general is too straightforward, his personality is too straightforward and impulsive, so … …" Qiu Zhen did not finish his words, but the meaning was already extremely clear, Shangguan Yuan did not want him to be the Great General.
Shangguan Yuanji sat on the side without expressing his stance, and his expression was extremely calm. Towards Qiu Zhen's words, Shangguan Yuanji did indeed feel uncomfortable in his heart, but in his heart, he also did not want Shangguan Yuan to take over the position of Great General, after all, he had a high position and authority, and was easily hated by people.
Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen, then stealthily said Shangguan Yuanji, and did not immediately make his decision. Seeing that the palace maid had already finished measuring him up, he waved his hand and said, "You all may leave!"
"Yes!" Great King! This servant will take her leave! " The palace maids gave their blessings and silently left the study. After they left, Tang Yin turned to Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan and asked: "Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan, what do you think of the two of you?"
But if there is someone by his side who can support him, with his ability, he will be more than sufficient to become a Great General. Furthermore, ever since General Yuan had stepped down the path, no one in the world has been able to match him, and no one in the army has been able to do anything to him. His name has long spread throughout the world, and if General Yuan took on the role of the Great General, he would be able to intimidate the other nations, allowing the strong to intimidate the strong and intimidate the strong.
"Yes!" Tang Yin listened and nodded. After Zhang Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Zong Yuan.
Zong Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "After going through many years of conquest, my country's power has long been empty, especially for the past two years, with internal strife and the exhaustion of the nation's power. Now that the King is here, it is time for me to rest, and not fight against external enemies. However, at the same time, it would also easily cause panic and enmity among the surrounding nations. If the countries of Ning and Mo joined hands to fight against my Great Gale, the situation would not be looking good! "
Tang Yin nodded and accepted it: "Zong Yuan's words are also what I am worried about. Please discuss it and see if there is any need to re-establish the position of Great General." With that said, Tang Yin sat in front of his table, picked up his teacup as if nothing had happened, and started to drink his tea slowly.
He said it casually, but everyone was shocked. Hearing Tang Yin's words, it was obvious that he wanted to remove the position of the Great General. Ever since the establishment of the Haotian Empire, regardless of whether it was the imperial government or the various nations, there had never been a precedent of removing the position of the Great General. This was too unexpected.
The reason why he wanted to remove the position of Great General was not because of a whim on Tang Yin's part. In his view, the entire nation's military power should be in the hands of the Sovereign King, and only then would it be safest. As for the Great General, it was a hidden threat to the Sovereign King.
Furthermore, the history that he was familiar with also told him that the Great General only appeared during the era when the imperial government's uniform was still incomplete.
After a while, Qiu Zhen and the others finally regained their senses, they looked at each other, and in the end, Qiu Zhen opened his mouth and said: "King, you mean to say …. Withdrawal from the position of Great General? "
Tang Yin put down the teacup, his face deliberately revealed a look of joy, and laughed: "What, Qiu Zhen, do you think it's possible to do that too?"
When did I say it was feasible? Qiu Zhen was not an idiot, he had already expressed his feelings so clearly, if he could not see through Tang Yin's thoughts, then he would not be Qiu Zhen anymore.
He was slightly startled, stood up, bowed and said: "This subject also feels that there is no need for Great General to continue existing, rather than leaving this empty post and wasting the large amount of Salary in the imperial court, it would be better to withdraw it as soon as possible."
Right after his words, Zong Yuan stood up right after, and said: "Master Qiu is right! The Great General is only set up for those Monarchs who will not lead troops to war, but the King is the King of Horses with superior military skills. Naturally, he does not need the help of the Great General. "
Tang Yin laughed, then looked towards Shangguan Yuanji and Zhang Zhe, waiting for them to express their stance.
Although Shangguan Yuanji and Zhang Zhe felt that it was a little rash to do so, it was not really a big problem. Shangguan Yuanji replied: "This humble subject has no objections." Zhang Zhe replied: "If we do not have the position of Great General, I am afraid we will be ridiculed and looked down upon by the other nations."
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "If one wants to win the respect of other nations, it is not by relying on a few famous Great General, but this!" As he spoke, he raised his fist and waved it in the air before sneering, "As long as our fists are tough enough and our military strength is strong enough, who would still dare to look down on me, Great Gale?"
Zhang Zhe's body trembled, he anxiously bowed and said: "The King is wise!"
The position of the Great General in the Feng Country was cancelled with just a few words from Tang Yin and his subordinates. Other than that, because he had learned the lesson from Sanshui Army, Tang Yin took back all of the Soldier Symbol in the hands of the commanders.
He got people to create new Soldier Symbol s, this time the Soldier Symbol s were separated from the middle, with half of them being left by the commanders of the different armies, and the other half by Tang Yin. In the future, the generals of the different armies only had the authority to manage the different armies, without any authority to move the troops, they would have to apply to Tang Yin to gather the other half, and after going through Tang Yin's approval, they would be able to combine the two and move the army.
