Tang Yin always wanted to reuse the two structures of the political participation hall and the military administration hall. However, the two institutions failed to attract the attention of the ministers. In people's eyes, the political participation hall and the military administration hall are dispensable. The most important reason is that the person in charge of the two structures is not heavy enough.
Cai GUI is the counsellor of the Chengzheng hall. Not to mention his identity as a Ningren, the fact that he was not born in Tangyin's lineage alone meant that the participating hall headed by Cai GUI would be marginalized by the ministers. As for Gu Yuan, the counsellor of the junzhengtang, he was less well-known, and his reputation was not as good as Cai GUI's.
Shangguan Yuanji proposed that a chief counselor should be set up above the Shenzheng hall and Junzheng hall, with the rank of Congyi, and could be held by Sima Zhaoyan, the right Minister of Sichuan. To support the political and military affairs hall that Tang Yin has always valued by the head of the Sichuan civil service can not only make the two institutions play a greater role and attract more attention, but also enable the ministers of Sichuan to have certain real power and calm down the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the Sichuan people.
After listening to Shangguan Yuanji's suggestion, Tang Yin pondered for a moment, and gradually appeared a smile on his face. He felt that Shangguan Yuanji's suggestion was too good. He gave the Chengzheng hall and the junzhengtang to the management of the Sichuan people. In order to fight for more real power, the Sichuan people will spare no effort to carry forward the two institutions. In this way, they will be much more relaxed.
He nodded repeatedly, praising: "good idea, this arrangement can seal the mouths of Sichuan civil servants. However, how to arrange the generals of Sichuan people?"
Shangguan Yuanji has a look at Qiu Zhen. It should have been Qiu Zhen's position on this matter. But since the king asked about his own head, he would have said a few more words.
He said solemnly: "since China's Fengguo unified the country, it's right that the king insisted on cutting down the army. After all, the world is at peace, and it's useless to keep so many troops. However, I think it's inappropriate for the king to only reduce the Sichuan army. At least five Sichuan army regiments should be reserved, which can also make those Sichuan military generals useful. At present, there are too many wind troops in our country, so the chief officer should be reduced. "
Qiu Zhen immediately frowned and asked, "Yuanji, which army do you think we should streamline?"
The twelve legions of Fengguo are the lifeblood of Qiu Zhen. No matter which army he cuts off, he will not agree. Shangguan Yuanji couldn't help but understand Qiu Zhen's idea. He said quietly: "our wind army has 12 legions, of which the flying dragon army and the hundred battle army are all over the establishment. In particular, the hundred battle army has more than 300000 soldiers. In the past, when there were continuous disputes among the countries, the Baizhan army could still be used. But now, the Baizhan army is no longer useful. Wei Chen thinks that the first thing we should do is to reduce the number It's a hundred battles army. "
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Qiu Zhen said in a deep voice: "although the Baizhan army is not our own Fengjun, it has made great contributions to China's Fengguo. When the Baizhan army went to Mo state, it annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies. When annexing Anguo and Huanguo, the Baizhan army annihilated countless enemies. On the battlefield, the Baizhan army was invincible and invincible, which made the enemy scared. Now the world is at peace, How can the generals and men of the Baizhan army be convinced
Shangguan Yuanji is silent. If you say that, all the wind forces can't be reduced. Which regiment has not made great achievements since its establishment? Which one of the plain army, Sanshui army, Tianying army, directly subordinate army and so on has less credit than the Baizhan army?
Looking at Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, Tang Yin sighed in his heart. He felt that Shangguan Yuanji had a certain truth in his words. If only the Sichuan army and the jade army were cut down, it would not be appropriate. Besides, it would be a difficult problem to settle the Sichuan and jade generals.
After thinking about it for a long time, he said quietly, "the name of the Baizhan army can't be cancelled, but there are indeed too many more than 300000 soldiers. Just keep the normal establishment of 100000 people. As for the flying dragon Army You don't have to stay any more. The student army of Lingwu college should also be cut off. "
"King..." Qiu Zhen was in a hurry. He was both in the process of disarmament and in withdrawing his title. How could he account to the commanders of all the armies?
Tang Yin waved his hand to him and said, "at present, the total strength of the Feng army plus the Sichuan army and the jade army combined with them is more than three million. To support such a large army, the burden is too heavy. You have to cut it by at least half. If you want to reduce it, Qiu Zhen, you can consider it yourself. But I have to state in advance that the jade army can only retain one or two regiments, but the Sichuan army At least four more legions must be left. "
Qiu Zhen laughs bitterly. According to the king, the total strength of 3 million troops has been reduced by half, that is, 1.5 million. Among them, the jade army and the Sichuan army have to occupy at least five legions, that is to say, there are only 10 Corps left for the wind force.
Cutting the twelve legions into ten, Qiu Zhenzhen couldn't figure out which army to cut off. Whether Qiu Zhen is willing or not, in short, Tang Yin has decided on this matter.
Tang Yin spent a lot of thought on the adjustment of the imperial court this time. In his explicit or implicit, many Fengren ministers handed in their resignations and asked Tang Yin to return home.
Tang Yin gave them a lot of rewards, such as gold, silver, houses and land, to ensure that they would have no worries about food and clothing, and be rich and prosperous all their lives.
With the departure of many ministers, Fengguo's official posts have finally had a large number of vacancies, followed by a large number of Sichuan people were used.
One of the most important is Sima Zhaoyan, the former right Minister of the state of Sichuan. He was appointed by Tang Yin as the chief counsellor of the political and military affairs hall. Although his rank is from the same grade, he is much better than the original nominal idle post. He is also quite satisfied with this.Sima Zhaoyan knew Fengguo very well. He knew that Fengwang always wanted to put the political and military affairs hall into important use, but he never made a big name. Now he took over the position. It seems that this position is not very good. It seems that he only gets a nominal and idle job. However, it is not. His current position is highly valued by Feng Wang. As long as he does well, he can get the most With direct support, he, a man from Sichuan, is likely to become a close official of the wind king.
At the same time, Sichuan military generals also have the opportunity to return to the army.
According to Tang Yin's instructions, Qiu Zhen finally reorganized four Sichuan Army Corps, while all the 12 wind army regiments were retained. However, the number of the first mate of each regiment was reduced. In particular, more than 200000 soldiers were cut off in the Baizhan army. Although the Feng army was still composed of 12 regiments, the total strength was only one million. As for the jade army, it was the elephant The commando left an army.
Through this adjustment, the contradiction between Fengren and chuanren has been greatly alleviated. Although Fengren still occupy a dominant position, the status of Sichuan people has also been improved.
It can be said that the integration between feng people and Sichuan people was only just beginning at this time.
When the Fengguo court made such a big adjustment, it was inevitable that there would be some confusion at the beginning. All the ministers were worried. The Fengren minister was afraid that the king would find his own head, remove his official post and let him return to his hometown. While the Minister of Sichuan people's Congress was worried that he would inevitably make mistakes when he just took over the new post. Once there was a mistake, he was afraid of impeachment by the Fengren minister.
It can be said that the newly adjusted Fengguo imperial court, whether Fengren ministers or Sichuan ministers, are cautious and cautious, and dare not be careless. This is what Tang Yin is happy to see.
It is worth mentioning that after this major adjustment, Sima Zhaoyan rose rapidly in Fengguo.
At the same time, the purpose of his removal from the office of the vice president of the Tang Dynasty had to be re examined and approved, and all the affairs he had taken charge of were re examined and approved. In this matter, Sima Zhaoyan did a fair job. He did not only use Sichuan people, but according to Tang Yin's consistent view, no matter how he was born, he only used talents.
There are two things that have really changed Tang Yin's outlook on him and made his ministers look at him with a new look. The first thing was that the Hedong area of Fengguo suffered from the earthquake. Shi Liyou, the right prime minister, wrote to Tang Yin, asking him to allocate 800000 liang of silver for disaster relief.
As a result, the memorial was stopped when it arrived at the participating hall. It was not handed over to Tang Yin at all. Sima Zhaoyan directly beat it back.
Li you was very angry about this, and played Sima Zhaoyan in front of Tang Yin the next morning.
Tang Yin frowned at the news, saying that the disaster in Hedong area should be timely relief. Sima Zhaoyan stopped the memorial and refused to report it. Didn't it delay the event?
Before Tang Yin asked him about his head, Sima Zhaoyan took the initiative to stand up and say, "king, I have heard about the disaster in Hedong. The scale of the earthquake is not large, and only Luancheng in Hedong is affected. According to Wei Chen's knowledge, during the earthquake, 57 houses collapsed in Luancheng city and its surrounding areas, and the left courtyard wall of the city Lord's house was slightly damaged, There were less than a hundred people injured and killed. In such a disaster, the lion asked the court to allocate 800000 Liang. I don't know whether the money is really used for disaster relief or whether most of the money will fall into the private pocket of some ministers! "
His words made Li you blush and stammered: "master Sima, you You are bloody! "
Sima Zhaoyan sneered and said, "Lord Li went to the relief of Hedong and asked for silver for disaster relief, but I don't know how the 800000 taels of money for disaster relief were determined. If it is determined according to the report of Hedong, Lord Li is guilty of neglecting it. If it is decided by Lord Li without authorization, then Lord Li will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of filling his own pockets in the name of disaster relief?! ”
Li you fell to his knees with a shudder, kowtowed to Tang Yin repeatedly, and said in a quick voice: "king, I am wronged by Wei Chen. Lord Sima is so bloody that I am wronged by Wei Chen!"
Tang Yin didn't care what the inside story was about. Instead, he was startled by Sima Zhaoyan's observant attitude.
Hedong area, which is located at the junction of Fengdi and Ningdi, is thousands of miles away from Shangjing. Sima Zhaoyan, sitting in Shangjing, knows the disaster of Hedong like the palm of his hand. He is really outstanding. He deserves to be regarded as a prime minister of a great country. His talent should not be underestimated.
