Chapter 99: Jiedushi Incident!

Everything should be done in moderation, Wang Chong is sure, just based on his performance just now, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, grandpa will definitely pay attention to and cultivate him, just like the elder brother and the second brother.

However, what happened next exceeded Wang Chong's expectations.

"Gen'er, what is being discussed in the court now?"

The old man was chatting with a group of old subordinates, when he suddenly asked about Uncle Wang Gen. "If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away, you will worry about your ruler." Although a group of old subordinates have given up their power, the affairs of the court have always been their concern.

Wang Gen's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a moment, and changed his focus again.

"There's nothing going on recently, it's just that the imperial court is discussing to change the capital guard to Jiedu and set up ten Jiedu envoys!"

"Buzz!"

Hearing the words "Jiedushi", Wang Chong's whole body was shaken, and he raised his head suddenly, as if a hurricane passed through his heart, causing a stormy sea.

"Jiedushi"!

Wang Chong never expected that he would hear these three words here. This is the "source of trouble" of the empire. Wang Chong has always known about this matter, but he never knew when it started.

Because by the time Wang Chong realizes this matter, it will be done and the catastrophe will be over. Wang Chong is like everyone else, he only knows the result, but he doesn't know his ins and outs.

However, Wang Chong never expected that he would hear the words "Jiedushi" in such a small room, and judging from his uncle Wang Gen's words, this matter had already begun to germinate.

"Jiedushi, Jiedushi, actually Jiedushi..."

Wang Chong murmured in his heart, and there was a violent storm. The matter of "Concubine Taizhen" attracted the attention of Manchao, and Wang Chong was sure that the uncle's refusal to speak just now must be the case of Concubine Taizhen.

However, the superficial clamor concealed the real crisis. When everyone's attention was drawn to the matter of "Taizhen Concubine", no one noticed that the scourge of the empire had already sprouted.

Just like Wang Chong, if his uncle hadn't mentioned it, he would have never noticed a major event that would destroy the empire in the future.

Wang Chong knew very well that the "Taizhen Concubine" matter was big, but compared with the "Jiedushi" matter, it was completely insignificant.

Impossible to measure.

The Taizhen Concubine incident only affected the fate of King Qi and the Wang family, but the "Jiedushi Incident" affected the luck of the entire Middle Earth Divine Continent!

However, Wang Chong glanced around, uncle, grandpa, Mr. Ye, Mr. Hu, Mr. Ma... A group of people obviously did not realize the seriousness of this matter.

Even his uncle Wang Gen, who is an important minister in the court, has the deepest and most thorough understanding of this matter. However, even he, when talking about this matter, was only touched, but did not really realize the seriousness and danger of this matter!

"My lord, what happened to Jiedushi?"

In the meeting hall, Ye Lao asked, frowning slightly.

"This is the latest motion in the imperial court. Xi, Khitan, and Goguryeo in the northeast, the East and West Turkic Khanates in the north, Uzang in the west, Erhai Liuzhao in the south, Dashi, West of Suiye City, and Shule City. Tiaozhi has been rising rapidly in the past few years, each one is getting stronger, more restless, and more aggressive."

Hearing Ye Lao, Wang Gen didn't keep secrets, so he told the things about Jiedushi one by one:

"The empire is facing enemies on eight occasions, and the pressure it is now facing is increasing. Therefore, it is considered to withdraw the general guard and set up Jiedu envoys. In addition to serving as the original guard duty, they will also command two additional continents. Do everything cheaply to defend against foreign enemies. host!"

"Now, the Prime Minister is trying his best to facilitate this matter. In addition, the Prime Minister is proposing to break the previous practice, use only talents, and reuse barbarians to resist the border bandits!"

boom!

Hearing the last sentence, Wang Chong felt as if a magnitude 12 earthquake had set off in his heart. Real danger always lurks beneath the surface of calm.

Uncle is extremely sensitive politically, but I am afraid that even he is not aware of the real purpose of the prime minister's proposal behind it.

"Break the previous conventions, use talents only, and use barbarian people to resist border crowns." Behind these nineteen words, there is another saying in history, called "the strategy of preventing border generals from entering the prime minister"!

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. The "Jiedushi policy" coupled with the reuse of barbarians and the "policy of preventing border generals from entering the prime minister" have become two sharp knives piercing the heart of the empire.

It has also become the two major causes of the rapid collapse of this empire!

"I'm afraid this strategy is a bit inappropriate. The empire has never reused the precedent of Hu people's frontier generals. Moreover, there is no precedent for frontier generals in charge of administration."

Zhao Laodao on the side, he used to be in charge of logistics and military affairs, so he instinctively felt that there was something wrong here. However, he just felt that it was inappropriate for the Hu people to have local administrative power, and he didn't think much about anything else.

"This is also what the Holy Emperor meant."

Uncle Wang Gen said helplessly:

"Privately, I heard that the Prime Minister suggested to His Majesty that civil servants are too cowardly and not as brave as generals. It is better to appoint those Hu people who are poor. Hu people are naturally brave and used to fighting, but they are born in a poor family, so they will not end up. Party. As long as His Majesty grants grace, these people will definitely follow through with death. After hearing this, His Majesty thinks it makes sense, so he is already seriously considering it."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words. If this is the case and His Majesty is involved, then this matter will be hard to say. Because those who oppose it are tantamount to opposing His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Moreover, this strategy is not necessarily wrong.

"It's not impossible to change the guardian of the capital into a Jiedu envoy, and use the barbarians to control the barbarians. Moreover, the Hu people are brave and aggressive. After so many years in the Tang Dynasty, these Hu people who were attached to them have already integrated into the Central Plains. Qi Bi He Li, Ashina? It will be effective with death."

Mr. Hu nodded.

As a veteran minister, you must learn not to contradict the emperor on some unimportant matters. This is the way of a minister and the way of officialdom.

Although there are some problems with reusing Huren, Hu Gong doesn't think it's a big problem.

"Well, as long as this strategy is implemented properly, it can actually work."

"Well, the Six Protectorate Houses have been in practice for nearly a hundred years. It's time to reform!"

"Establishing Jiedu envoys is to do things cheaply, and to put all resistance against foreign enemies first. This can also avoid delays in the timing of official documents and back and forth. It is not completely without advantages."

...

The other elders also nodded.

For so many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there are more and more Hu people attached to it. Like Qibi Heli during Taizong's period, leading the army in battle, he probably killed more Hu people than his clansmen.

Moreover, influenced by the Chinese culture, many Hu people are more and more influenced by the Han people, and even their names are taken from the Han people, like Bai Xiaode, if you don’t say it clearly, who would know that he is the prince of Kucha, who is often summoned by His Majesty, See you in the palace.

Compared with their original ethnic groups, these internal Hu people have changed a lot.

Even among the border troops, there were many Hu people who joined the army. They fought against the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates without mercy.

So on this point, Zhu Lao will never have too many prejudices.

Moreover, party struggles have been a taboo throughout the dynasties. The previous dynasties changed the old affairs because of the fact that they formed a party, and even did not implicate the old Song King. He spent three months in prison and suffered a lot.

Everyone knows this.

It is not unacceptable for His Majesty to put an end to cliques for personal gain and reuse Hu people.

The more Wang Chong listened, the more ugly his face became, and in the end his face changed.

That's all for the people outside. The people in this meeting hall are all veterans of the imperial court, and they have great foresight in military and state affairs.

They could perceive the threat of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north, but no one realized the harm of the "Jiedushi" policy and the "reuse of Hu people" policy.

What about these old subordinates of grandpa, let alone the people in the court.

Wang Chong finally knew how the policy in the court was introduced back then.

"No! This is absolutely impossible!—"

Wang Chong couldn't bear it anymore. If no one in this conference hall can realize the harm of this matter, then no one in the entire imperial court and the whole world will be able to realize it anymore.

When the wood is done, the overall situation has been decided. It was too late to say anything at that time!

"Too much talk will lead to failure", Wang Chong had already made up his mind, so he didn't say any more. But if this kind of thing is not said, then Wang Chong will not be able to forgive himself in the future.

"Buzz!"

After being interrupted by Wang Chong, the entire conference hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were on Wang Chong who was sitting beside Ye Lao.

"Master Chong?!"

All the elders in the room looked surprised.

Wang Chong's sudden outburst shocked everyone in the room. Even "Old Ye" who was close at hand turned his head and looked at Wang Chong in surprise.

Wang Chong had a very good impression of him before, that is, he was polite, insightful, and respected all the elders. But his performance at this time was completely beyond his expectations.

While the elders were chatting without asking him, and they had already reached an agreement on the matter of Jiedushi, Wang Chong jumped out suddenly, which can be said to be extremely reckless and extremely impolite.

"Wang Chong, what are you doing? In front of all the elders, do you have a place to speak? Sit down for me!"

Wang Gen's expression also changed suddenly, his entire face turned black.

After finally leaving a good impression on the elders, isn't Wang Chong self-destructing his future?

Above the lobby, the old man didn't speak, but his thick white eyebrows couldn't help but frown. The child of the third son Wang Yan gave him a very good impression.

But no matter how good it is, it is best to have a good reason for bumping into the elders on this occasion!

"Hahaha, what are you doing so seriously, Young Master Chong, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

In the end, still full of murderous aura, Ye Lao, who was born in the army, said, laughing, to ease the atmosphere. He still has a good impression of Wang Chong.

Although he was surprised by Wang Chong's abruptness, Ye Tong deeply believed that there must be some reason for this child to do so.

The children of Jiugong's family don't seem to be the kind of rash and rude people!
