"Zhaoda, the guarding of the palace during this period will be left to you."
This is probably the first time in history that General Zhengnan is allowed to guard the palace!
Liu Zhang had no choice. This was originally the responsibility of Wu Yi, the Central Protector, but Wu Yi had just been demoted to the east gate as the goalkeeper by Liu Zhang.
The soldiers guarding the palace belong to the Imperial Guard series, and Dian Wei, the commander of the Imperial Guard, cannot be left in charge.
And recently, military generals have begun to go to military regions to recruit soldiers.
There were not many generals in Chang'an City, and there were even fewer who could make Liu Zhang feel completely at ease.
At this time, Gao Shun could only be overqualified and underused.
"I will obey your orders!"
Gao Shun accepted the order without any hesitation.
After all these years, Gao Shun still adheres to a pure military mentality and has never had any objections to Liu Zhang's orders.
"Mr. Qin, can the guards in the palace be replaced by soldiers trapped in the camp?"
"That's not necessary, you can just take over these soldiers!"
Letting the trapped camp come back to guard the palace is really overkill, and guarding the palace will inevitably delay training, which is not worth the gain.
"Zhaoda, please go and take over the defense, so as not to cause any trouble in the palace."
"As ordered, I will retire at the end of the day!"
Jia Xu and Xun You saw Liu Zhang's intention of dismissing Gao Shun, and waited for Liu Zhang's next words together.
As expected, Liu Zhang changed the subject and brought it back to the issue of the family.
"Wen He, you just said that you have no objection to talking to Yang Hong, but this matter has become like this, and I'm afraid it won't be resolved through talking." "I don't quite understand what Mr. Qin means."
Jia Xu thought about it carefully again and did not feel that the matter was as serious as Liu Zhang said.
"Mr. Qin, this matter can be big or small."
"In the final analysis, it is just the Yizhou family's self-protection after feeling the crisis. I feel that they are still very restrained."
"It can be seen from this that the Yizhou family is still afraid and willing to submit to Duke Qin."
Yongliang was ruined, but the foundation of Qin was still Yizhou!
Once civil strife breaks out, the consequences will undoubtedly be very serious, and it is very likely that Qin's national power will never recover.
What Jia Xu feared most was that after Liu Zhang proclaimed himself Duke and founded the country, he became blind and arrogant, thinking that he could really ignore everything.
After saying this, Jia Xu winked at Xun You repeatedly, and his meaning was very obvious, and he quickly advised Liu Zhang not to do stupid things!
"Mr. Qin, the combined population of Yongliang and Liangzhou is less than two million, which is completely incomparable to the more than six million people in Yizhou!"
"Even in another five years, I'm afraid it will still be difficult for Yongliang and Yizhou to match Yizhou!"
"Therefore, I agree with Jia Shangshu's opinion."
Xun You said it tactfully and did not directly veto Liu Zhang's opinion, for fear of causing greater backlash.
The atmosphere instantly became tense, especially Jia Xu, who showed panic that he had not shown in all these years.
"Wenhe, Gongda, let me tell you everything! The Zhen family must be supported, and it will involve business."
"Whether it is the domestic chamber of commerce, or the trade with the countries in the Western Region and the countries further in the Western Region, Zhen's business experience and strength are needed."
"The Zhen family has already been feared by the Yizhou family. If Gu really promotes the Zhen family, what do you think will happen to the Yizhou family?"
"If the conflicts will intensify in the end, it might as well be..."
Liu Zhang knew very well that it was very easy to pacify the Yizhou clan this time, as long as he did not reuse the Zhen family.
But this went against Liu Zhang's original intention.
If a country wants to be prosperous, it must first have money. Only with money can it have soldiers, horses, food and grass.
The addition of Zhen can allow Liu Zhang to take a big step forward!
Now that the Yizhou family is standing in the middle of Liu Zhang and the Zhen family, as the Duke of Qin, it is naturally impossible for him to retreat.
This time the Zhen family was blocked from entering the political arena of Qin, and other families would still be blocked from the court in the future.
Over time, wouldn't the Yizhou family want to occupy the imperial court and become the Yingchuan faction that overthrew the Wei state in history?
Instead of doing this, it is better to let the contradictions break out!
Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, Sun, Liu, and Cao were all busy with the immediate problems, and completely resolved the internal conflicts.
"Absolutely not!"
Jia Xu exclaimed, startled by Liu Zhang's idea.
"Mr. Qin, as a king, you are more likely to become the master of the world in the future. Controlling your subordinates requires checks and balances, not killing!"
"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, wars broke out all over the world, but Emperor Ling still managed to suppress the situation, relying on the checks and balances of the three parties."
"Killing blindly will lead to death just like Sun Ce!"
"Have you ever thought about this, Duke Qin? Even if all the families in the world are slaughtered, those who helped Duke Qin accomplish such a feat will still form new families!"
"It goes round and round and can never be completely eradicated. This is the common problem of the current system!"
Liu Zhang was horrified. He didn't expect that Jia Xu had seen so clearly!
From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, the clan issue actually continued.
Even if the Huang Chao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty killed all the families in the world, it was still impossible to avoid the rise of the family again.
Perhaps the real solution will only come in two thousand years. . .
Liu Zhang closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Helpless, really helpless!
Faced with all this, Liu Zhang felt for the first time what it meant to be unable to start!
At first, Liu Zhang wanted to take the imperial examination to reverse the problem of family monopoly.
But gradually I realized that the imperial examination was useless!
Those who can participate in the imperial examination are still people from aristocratic families.
The worst are the children of the declining aristocratic families.
The people didn't even know the Chinese characters and were still worrying about what to eat all day long. How could they take part in the imperial examination?
I originally wanted to wait until the world was unified before finding a solution, but as soon as Yongliang was captured, the problem became apparent.
As the current Duke of Qin, Liu Zhang is all-powerful and dominates the world, but in terms of level of chic, he is far less relaxed than when he was just a shepherd and general of Wei in Yizhou.
It was not so easy to become a prince in the late Han Dynasty!
"Wen He, Gu Ye knows the stakes in this. But if you start compromising, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold back!"
Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had already heard the opportunity to relax from Liu Zhang's tone.
"Mr. Qin, the way to be a king is to know how to check and balance."
"In fact, the current rights of the Qin State are also somewhat deformed."
"For example, the elder faction has almost absolute power. Doesn't Duke Qin realize that this is a bigger problem?"
Liu Zhang's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but admire Jia Xu secretly.
Unexpectedly, Jia Xu became ruthless and would not even let himself go.
Of course Liu Zhang knew everything about this issue.
Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun were the leaders of the generals and were in charge of most of the troops.
Jia Xu and Xun You, as the heads of civil servants and in charge of the chancellery, are always touching the core of power.
If any of these people has an impure mind, it is possible that Qin will be plunged into crisis.
