The current situation of Fengguo is that it seems to have strong military power and national strength on the surface. In fact, there are a lot of internal problems, among which corrupt officials are rampant.
The root cause of this problem is Tang Yin. The Fengguo expanded rapidly, and the occupied land needed to be garrisoned and managed by someone. All along, Tang Yin's principle of employing people was not ability, but loyalty. As long as he was loyal enough, he would be promoted. The people who were most loyal to Tang Yin and trusted most were the soldiers in the army who fought with him from life to death.
It was very effective in the early stage to assign the officers and men in the army to serve as prefects, county captains and city Lords. These people were loyal to Tang Yin and Fengguo. Basically, they could consolidate a place occupied by the Fengguo, and there would be no large-scale rebellion, and the troops fighting in front would have no worries. However, with the end of the war, the disadvantages of these officers who were transferred from the army to government gradually disappeared.
When it comes to leading troops to fight wars and to fight in front of the enemy, they are first-class and first-class masters. However, when they are allowed to govern the local areas, they are all laymen and have little political achievements. On the contrary, they have brought the tyrannical style of the wind army into the officialdom. They bully men and women, embezzle money, and are cruel and violent, and become local tyrants.
Fengguo now has the largest territory among other countries, but its annual tax revenue is not as good as Anguo, let alone compared with Sichuan.
Shangguan Yuanji has always been worried about this issue and wants to raise it with Tang Yin. However, there are too many aspects involved in it. He is not very good at opening his mouth. Now Tang Yin raises the problems that he saw in Nancheng. He just borrows from the topic and puts the whole problem in front of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin never knew that there were so many problems in the local area. He was silent for a long time. He looked up at Qiu Zhen, and the one who saw the latter hung his head and didn't speak. He turned to Shangguan Yuanji and asked, "Yuanji, how do you solve this problem? Replace all the local officials who were transferred from the army to government? "
"No!" Qiu Zhenmeng raised his head and said, "there will be big trouble in this way! These brothers who came to the local posts have made great achievements in the army. To remove them without any reason will not only make these brothers feel cold, but also make the soldiers and soldiers in the army feel dissatisfied with the king. "
All the generals and men who have transferred from the army to government should go through Qiu Zhen's hand. Although the nominations are reported by the heads of the armed forces, the final decision has to be approved by him, the left prime minister, and then submitted to Tang Yin. As the left prime minister, he is the head of the Feng army, and he is also very considerate of the officers and men in the army. From the heart of his heart, he does not want to replace all the officials who were transferred from the army to politics.
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head and said, "Qiu Xiang is very right. It needs to be done slowly, not too quickly, because there may be more than 20 counties involved. Replacing the county heads, county heads and city lords of more than 20 counties at once will not only cause local chaos and panic, but also possibly turn these people against him. You know, they are all soldiers Soldiers who are born and experienced in battle can fight well "
" they dare! " Hearing this, Tang Yin's face was ugly. He stood up and said in a deep voice, "I gave everything they have today. Now I want to take it back. Who dares to rebel?"
Qiu Zhen said, "yes! These brothers will never oppose it. They all followed the king to climb out of the dead.
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said with a wry smile, "in this world, the most changing thing is the people's heart. There are many people who can share weal and woe but can't share wealth and wealth."
After a pause, he continued: "besides, they are all generals of all major legions. They have a wide range of contacts in each Corps. They are also old subordinates and brothers of the commanders of all armies. If they oppose, it is not known whether the legions will change or not."
Tang Yin subconsciously clenched his fist and clenched his lips. "Yuanji, don't say any more. Do you know, just by what you said just now, there will be turbulence in the army and estrange the monarch and his subjects."
Shangguan Yuanji chuckled indifferently and said, "if you are a minister, you should eat your salary, divide your worries, and guard against fire. Is Qiu Xiang too considerate of his subordinates?" he forgot who he was loyal to. In the second half of the sentence, he didn't say it.
Even if it was just the first half of the sentence, it was enough to stab Qiu Zhen. With anger in his eyes, he asked, "Yuanji said I was covering up subordinates?"
Seeing Qiu zhenhuo, Shangguan Yuanji quickly waved his hand with a smile and said, "what are you angry about? I'm just talking about things. The key is to see how the king decides." Speaking, he looked at Tang Yin.
He has told the whole story about the fierce relationship among them. He believes that with the wisdom of the king, he should understand what to do.
Those officials who transferred from the army to government were not the direct subordinates of Qiu Zhen, and there were still commanders of the various armies in the middle. If they wanted to move them, Qiu Zhen would be angry. If they did, the reaction of the heads of the armed forces would be known. If this goes on, the Fengguo will be worried.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "well, don't make any more noise." His face changed and he wandered about the room. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji stood on both sides with their heads down. The former did not forget to glare at the latter to express his dissatisfaction.Originally, it was just a small matter in Nancheng, or punishment or punishment. You should talk about the matter. You have to make trouble out of nothing and involve a lot of things. It's hard for you to handle and worry the king.
After walking for a long time, Tang Yincai stopped to look at Shangguan Yuanji, and then to Qiu Zhen. He sighed and said, "I have to think about it carefully! I'll talk about it later. "
"King, there is a matter of urgency. This matter is related to the foundation of our country, so we can't delay it"
before Shangguan Yuanji finished, Qiu Zhen stood up and interrupted: "by the way, king, how did you think about the partition of Huandi territory?" As he spoke, he squinted at Shangguan Yuanji, meaning to make him shut up quickly.
"I've thought about it. I'm going to divide Huiting county and Zhushan County in Huandi County into Yuguo County, and Baima county and Yishu County into Anguo. What do you think?"
"Huiting, Zhushan, Baima, Yishu." Qiu Zhen took out a map and spread it on the table. He pointed his fingers on it. After a long time of careful examination, he grinned: "it's very good, especially the two counties of Baima and Yishu in Anguo, which are adjacent to Zhendi. Our army can garrison here. In name, it helps to protect the country and defend the land, but in fact, it can be of great use!"
"Yes, I think so too"
talking about military affairs and future strategies, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen immediately became eloquent, and Shangguan Yuanji couldn't get in the way. After all the discussion, seeing that Tang Yin was tired, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both quit to him.
Out of the study, came to the outside, he two people are also talking in a low voice while walking. Shangguan Yuanji said, "Qiu Xiang, why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"What? About the dismissal? So many officials are involved in so many fields. What should we do? You don't have a good way. What do you want the king to do? Since it can't be solved, don't talk about it any more. " Qiu Zhen shook his head.
"Can we just let it go and just sit back and ignore it?"
"The birds are well hidden, and the cunning rabbits are cooked by dogs. They are still going to kill the donkey. I am ready to kill the donkey before I even remove the mill? As a matter of fact, the king has said it quite frankly just now. What do you mean if we discuss it later? I'll tell you about it later Qiu Zhen grinned slowly, showing two rows of white teeth.
"If the foundation is not stable, why talk about the great cause? In the long run, China will not be able to win over Sichuan. I am afraid that we will have to die at our own hands first! " Shangguan Yuanji sighed.
"You can say that. I don't think you want to die." Qiu really is absent-minded ground murmurs a, he craned his neck to look at the bodyguard who is rushing to come in front of him.
When the guard was about to run past him, he reached out to stop the guard and asked in a deep voice, "no rules, no rules. What's so urgent?"
"Qiu Xiang, Shangguan Prime Minister!" The bodyguard stopped and quickly saluted them. Then he said in a low voice, "a messenger from Sichuan has arrived. It's a letter from the king of Sichuan."
"Oh?" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji are both in a daze. The king of Sichuan wrote to the king. This is really fresh! Qiu Zhen asked, "where are you now? What else did you say? "
"The envoys of the state of Sichuan are just outside the palace. They don't say anything else."
"Well, I see. The king is in the study. Go quickly!" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji take a look at each other, and both turn back. The letter from Chuanwang is not a trivial matter. They are also curious about what he will say in his letter.
When they came back to the study, Tang Yin was opening the envelope. Seeing them, he said with a smile, "you two came back just in time. Xiao Xuan wrote a letter."
"I heard that just now."
Tang Yin took out the paper, opened it, laughed, and said, "good, it's good."
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji zhanger monk are confused. What does the King say?
Tang Yin's next words almost made them vomit blood. "Brother Xiao Wang's handwriting is really good. Unfortunately, I can't understand a word." Speaking, he put the letter paper between his fingers, handed it to Qiu Zhen, and said, "read it!"
Qiu Zhen took it in a hurry. He looked down and saw that there were many characters on the letter. Speaking of it, Xiao Xuan's words were very beautiful and powerful. They were quite defensive. They were only written in wild grass, not to mention that Tang Yin could not understand them. Even he was very hard to read and needed careful identification.
He looked at it from the beginning, then he was happy and said, "king, this is a letter of salvation and peace." With that, he read the letter from beginning to end.
