19. Acting in the army of gods
After asking Cui Zao's opinion, the emperor obviously felt much more relieved, but he did not let Gao Yue go, but asked Gao Yue to stay in the yard immediately and ask for something alone.
Before asking alone, Gao Yue was already touched. He remembered that when he was supervising military soldiers on Shangjin Road, when the poor households transported wealth, food and fodder, he met Liu Yan who went east. Liu Yan clearly told him that the order of the Tang Dynasty in the future was determined by the grain transportation.
"This is what we later generations say, lifeline!" Gao Yue sighed. The previous failure of Li Shipingfan and the current conflict between the Han Dynasty and the central court were all determined by the dispute over the rights of the canal transport.
After Cui Zao stepped back, the emperor sat behind the screen, and opposite Gao Yue.
Gao Yue understood it and immediately took out a document from his sleeve and submitted it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and looked at it, and he was full of joy, "Two,770,000 yuan."
Gao Yue said yes, this is how the account of this money came from - he was the imperial city Xuanwei envoy, and the bureaucrats, temples, and merchants in the city who had the possibility of mercy came to him to plead, so he registered his own property in detail and honestly in this document book, hoping that in the future, he would only hand over some redemption to compensate for the crime. But who would have thought that after Li Sheng entered the city, he would kill all the imperial letters given by the emperor, so many of the property of the dead souls under the sword were directly "accepted".
It has nearly three million steadily.
This made Li Shi overjoyed and immediately said, "Those who are traitors have no official positions in their family." When he pacified the Heshuo rebellion, he forced the taxes of the people in Chang'an, and used the money and tithes, which made the people complain. He only got two million stagnant coins, but he never expected that the group of officials who stayed in Chang'an City had so much property!
If you have already attacked some officials, it would not have led to the "Changwushi Transformation".
"Gao Qing, this money..."
"Your Majesty, half of the money you earn is in the Jingzhao Prefecture Public Government, and half is in the Changsheng Curtain of Anguo Temple." Gao Yue said that I had no need to ask about this kind of thing in person, and I had already done it steadily.
"Good, good." The emperor hurriedly praised.
Then Gao Yue asked Li Shi that this large amount of stolen money would be entered into Your Majesty's Daying Cut, which could solve the urgent needs of the court. Whether it was to immediately conquer Li Huaiguang or reward soldiers in the camp, these three million yuan was enough. Therefore, "I would like to abolish the sects, eliminate the country, and equate taxes to safeguard the people's hearts of the capital and even the world."
Li Shi was very satisfied. Gao Yue knew what he knew and knew that the money should be included in his private treasury. Since the mutiny, Li Shi no longer trusted the treasury under the prime minister's control and hid it.
I should ask about money and silk by myself.
So Li Shi followed the boat and agreed to Gao Yue's request, saying that those who had been harsh policies before were not my original wish, and now they can be abolished together.
Then the two stood up, except for the inner hall, paced in the yard, talking while walking.
The emperor asked Gao Yue again, what do you think about Han Huan? It was not convenient for Cui Zao to say here just now, but now you can speak freely.
Gao Yue only made an opinion, and he made a comment to Li Shi: "Han Huan is in charge of the Southeast's rights, but has never acted rebellious to the country. Your Majesty not only needs to block it, but also needs to be distracted."
"How can you be dismissed according to Gao Qing's opinion?"
"Han Liu strongly advocated the use of troops to Helong after quelling the rebellion, so His Majesty could cut off his rights, and at the same time set up a Shence Right Camp in Jingyuan, Fengxiang, to induce Han Liu to send rice, grain, money and silk to help with the salary. In less than two or three years, the Right Camp could have 50,000 elite troops. In addition, other border troops in the northwest, Shu, and Shannan and west, they could attack and defend against the Western Fan."
"This 'shu' strategy is good, but Gao Qing, do you have confidence in the war in Xifan?"
Gao Yue thought that as long as you don’t get fucked like a tiger, with Duan Xiushi, Li Sheng, my father-in-law, and my Wei Gao and I, it’s more than enough to deal with Xifan.
But he could not praise these people too much, and was afraid of arousing their suspicion, so he deviated and said, "As long as the right camp of the Shence Army is formed and His Majesty appointed the commander of Gancheng, he will be able to open the border and restore the territory."
"Then I regard Luo Yuanguang as the governor of the Right Camp, can I?" the emperor asked tentatively.
Gao Yue's eyes turned slightly. He knew that Luo Yuanguang had always been incompatible with Li Sheng in the Shen Ce Army system, but Xing Junya had always followed Li Sheng's horse leader, so he replied, "According to my minister Yue's foolish opinion, the right camp can have a commander of the left and right Shen Ce military envoys, including General Luo Yuanguang and General Gao Chongwen..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor suddenly interrupted, "I want to use the general of the left sect, Tan Zhizhong, to serve as the right camp of Shen Ce, and to take charge of the horse courts in the northwest, how about?"
As soon as he heard this, Gao Yue seemed to hear the hissing sound of the gears of history rolling forward.
Sure enough, Li Shi was still Li Shi. After the relocation of Fengtian City, he felt that it was not possible to hand over the imperial guards to generals like Wang Jiahe, and it was not possible to give civil servants like Bai Zhizhen. Finally, he considered using the most trusted eunuch to "supervise" the imperial guards.
The so-called "supervision" means supervision.
The so-called "activity" means the supervisor.
In other words, if Tan Zhizhong's "supervisory activities" are used by Shen Ceyou Daying, he will not only perform the original function of "observing the military appearance", but also directly take charge of the army. Although Luo Yuanguang and Gao Chongwen may be of the same rank as Tan Zhizhong, they should only be responsible for leading the army during the war.
This move to use eunuchs as an imperial guard was later institutionalized, which was a famous "Shence Lieutenant System" that influenced the entire history of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Gao Yue...
Will not object.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, the imperial guards should not be dominated by others. Neither the Jiedu nor the Prime Minister of the Nanya will be truly trusted by the emperor. The imperial guards should only belong to him, but as the emperor, it is impossible for him to go directly to manage the army. After all, the emperor still needs an agent to take charge of the army for him.
As for this agent, Li Shi, who chose to learn from the previous lessons, naturally, he would inevitably choose the eunuchs around him.
The eunuchs are the most unlikely to usurp the imperial power, and this is the emperor's actual consideration.
Very real and very realistic.
Gao Yue was not as confident as to "being a chariot" in front of the wheel of historical development, so he naturally would not object to the emperor's idea.
Of course, there is another reason. He himself had a good relationship with eunuchs like Tan Zhizhong and Huo Zhongtang.
"The camp is engaged by General Tan on weekdays, and is directed by General Luo and Gao during wartime. In this way, both of them are not hindered, and Your Majesty can also see the situation of the front-line military town, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Hearing this, Li Shi nodded with satisfaction.
Then the emperor looked at Gao Yue and asked again, "What happened to Zhu Li..."
Gao Yue then brought out an oval white ivory tablet.
It was stained with blood, "This was used by Zhu Li to hit Dong Qin before his death."
