Han You became interested.
Zhou Ke may not be good at other things, but no one knows better than him about matters related to the military.
What Han You didn't know was that after returning from the north of the city today, Zhou Ke was sprayed by several ministers. All the ministers except the Ministry of Industry were sprayed.
The Ministry of War was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and even the minister of the Ministry of War and his subordinate officials were eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
They also knew that Jingwei was rubbish, but they didn't expect him to be rubbish to this extent.
The Ministry of Rites must have been scolded, and even Qian Ji, whom Zhou Ke respected, was scolded like crazy.
The Ministry of Rites is like this. It can interfere with everything, whether it is to select scholars through the imperial examination or to improve the livelihood of the people. It will only make them malnourished. In the case of the people in Changyuan, the Ministry of Rites was not unjustly scolded.
Wu Dingbi and others from the Ministry of Punishment were not spared either. Han You sent people to take charge of the work camp with more than 4,000 people. He originally had to take care of Yidaowei and Four Seasons Villa. How could there be so many manpower? Xiaoxiao spread rumors without the Ministry of Punishment noticing. Responsible!
Don't mention it, Wu Dingbi was quite unjust. The Ministry of Punishment had no way of getting involved in this kind of thing. If rumors were spread in the capital, they would be in charge. Outside of the capital, it was related to Han You. How could Old Wu take care of it? It would hurt harmony.
Zhao Tai, the official, was scolded the most because Han You took down the three giants in Xun County and Xia County in the middle of the capital. There were officials like this who sucked the bone marrow of the people. The official did not know any questions and neglected their duties!
Not to mention the Ministry of Household Affairs. The people of the Zhou Dynasty, the people of the emperor, had to rely on Han You to pay for disaster relief. Did everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs grow up eating chemical fertilizers? Where did all the money go?
The only one who was not scolded was the Ministry of Industry. Zhou Zhenghuai felt secretly happy when he saw the emperor scolding other ministers.
The emperor not only did not scold Zhou Zhenghuai, but also praised him a few times, because Zhou Zhenghuai transported a large amount of materials to the north of the city immediately, which was a great convenience to Han You, which was a disguised support for disaster relief.
The emperor was troubled by these two aspects. One was the reaction of the people of Changyuan, and the other was the miserable current situation of Jingwei.
The people's distrust of the court cannot be reversed overnight. It requires the monarchs and ministers of the court to unite as one and slowly correct the shortcomings and have the courage to take responsibility.
But the matter of Jingwei cannot be delayed, not even for a moment.
Zhou Ke knew better than anyone that war would break out sooner or later at the northern and southern passes, especially the northern pass.
The Beiguan nomadic people are in a state where wildfires are endless and spring breezes blow. They fight for a few years, stop for a few years, stop for a few years, and then come again for a few years.
The defenders at the northern and southern passes are more than enough to defend the city. Once they leave the pass to fight, the defense of the city gate will be extremely empty. This also leads to the fact that if there is a war and the border defenders want to go out to fight, the guards in the center of the capital will dispatch a few detachments, and then Along the road, soldiers from various states and prefectures were gathered together to finally take over the border defense line.
Zhou Ke knew the strength of the two garrison defenders, and it was not a big problem to fight outside the border. But if he relied on such a Jingwei to lead the Zhechong Mansion to guard the border between the country and the North, if something went wrong and he was invaded by some alien army, it would be a lot of fun. That's big.
"Guan Wen..." Boss Zhou said a name with a complex expression: "You haven't returned to Beijing yet?"
Wenwu shook his head: "It has been more than half a year since I returned to Qiongzhou, citing physical illness as an excuse."
"You are a thief if you are too old to die." Boss Zhou cursed: "He thinks that if he continues to be delayed like this, I will be unable to do anything to him."
Wen Wu nodded, there was really nothing he could do.
Han You recalled it quickly and asked uncertainly: "Guan Wen is the general of the Ministry of War Zhuguo?"
"It's this old man who deserves to be killed!"
The emperor drank up a bottle of wine and cursed.
Han You didn't respond, he knew this person.
Guan Wen, the general of Zhuguo in the previous and current dynasties.
There are two generals in Zhuguo, one is Shangzhuguo and the other is Zhuguo. Shangzhuguo is at the same level as Shangshu, and Zhuguo is at the same level as Zuo Shilang. However, the two Zhuguo are not responsible for any military affairs in the Ministry of War, and their status is extremely aloof.
The only responsibility of the two Zhuguo generals is to rule the capital, which can also be understood as guarding the capital.
Shangzhu Guo is considered the leader, and Zhu Guo is considered the deputy.
In the previous dynasty, there was a general from the Shangzhu Kingdom. He died during the night of seizing the palace. His death was unknown. The general from the Zhu Kingdom was Guan Wen.
Guan Wen was sixty-seven and knew how to assess the situation. On the night of seizing the palace, he immediately declared his allegiance to the former eldest prince. After the former dynasty's eldest prince asked Zhou Ke to kill him, he immediately declared his allegiance to Zhou Ke, and after Zhou Zhenghuai, When Sun Shouting and other veterans "forced death" on Zhou Ke to ascend the throne, they were the first to respond to these veterans.
After Zhou Ke ascended the throne, he did not make drastic reforms in the court, nor did he touch the core interests of the family. However, he did replace a small number of the generals and lieutenants of Jingwei.
Everyone in the Ministry of War saw that Zhou Ke cared very much about Jingwei, that is, military power, so naturally the civil and military officials in the court would not say much.
It wasn't until about half a year after he took the throne that Zhou Ke wanted to replace Guan Wen, because Guan Wen really had no talent. If he could run the army well, the capital and the palace would not be able to change their owners overnight.
Logically speaking, Guan Wen was already so old, so he should have submitted a letter to resign without the Emperor having to ask. However, whether it was due to greed for power or other reasons, he took leave and went back to Qiongzhou to visit relatives, but he never returned to Beijing, and it has been delayed until now. Nominally, he has always been the general of Zhuguo, commanding the Jingwei.
Just now Wen and Wu nodded, which meant that the emperor really had no choice. As long as Guan Wen did not return to Beijing and took the initiative to submit a letter to resign, the emperor could not replace Guan Wen, the general of the Zhuguo.
There are three reasons. First, no matter how useless the Jingwei is, there are tens of thousands of people. Counting the logistics and several military and military garrison guards, the number exceeds one hundred thousand. Except for the generals and lieutenants who have been placed in some important positions by the emperor, most of the others The people who commanded the army were almost all Guan Wen's cronies.
If the emperor insists on tearing Guan Wen off, and Guan Wen complains again, or does some small tricks secretly, many soldiers in the Beijing camp will be dissatisfied with the emperor.
In the eyes of many Jingwei sergeants, Guan Wen has not made any big mistakes, and the treatment of Jingwei is much better than that of other Zhechong Prefecture and border troops. This is all because of Guan Wen, the general of Zhuguo. To put it bluntly, , that is, using the court's money to fatten up your own soldiers, thereby gaining the support of the grassroots military.
The second reason is that Guan Wen was born in the East China Sea family. At that time, Zhou Ke was nominally the eldest prince of the former dynasty. After Zhou Ke's betrayal was exposed, the Guan family sent many people to lobby in the East China Sea, and even sent money and effort to Zhou Ke's account. , now that Zhou Ke has ascended the throne, and if he is directly removed by Guan Wen, he will inevitably end up with a reputation of being unkind and unjust.
The third reason is that the emperor cannot directly remove people of Guan Wen's level and in important positions, whether military generals or civil servants, without making principled mistakes, just like Wu Yong, Shen Tu Gang, and Zhao before. Zhongzheng and others, unless there is a certain tacit understanding between the emperor and the ministers, who all believe that this guy can no longer stay, and they have the support and tacit approval of several ministers and old ministers, and it can be justified legally and rationally, only then can Guan Wen be killed. level officials were replaced.
If Zhou Ke wants to give the capital a new look, he must replace him with a general who can manage the army well. The name is not justified. No matter which general comes to power, he must have the status of General Zhuguo. It can be either Shangzhuguo or Zhuguo. , and the premise of all this is that Guan Wen gives way.
If you want Guan Wen to give way, you have to let this old man take the initiative to submit a letter to resign.
"Han You."
The emperor toasted Han You with a glass of wine: "You have the most evil ideas. Come up with something for me. I can no longer tolerate an old man like Guan Wen."
Wen Wu, who was drinking next to him, laughed dumbly. How could Han You understand such military matters.
"First of all, this is not a bad idea. You can call it a good idea. How can it be called a bad idea?"
Han You rolled his eyes: "You could just promote him."
"Gaosheng?"
"Praise him, and then promote him to the rank of general of Shangzhu Kingdom."
The emperor didn't react for a moment: "Lie him to the capital and then kill him?"
"Brother, how did you get the throne?"
Han You was convinced: "He became the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the generals of the Zhu Kingdom were vacated. You appointed your people as the generals of the Zhu Kingdom to command the Jingwei, and then you vacated the Shangzhu Kingdom and let the Shangzhu Kingdom Wouldn’t it be over if it became a false title?”
"Han You!"
The emperor's expression changed, and he laughed loudly: "Originally, I was just testing you, but I didn't expect that you coincided with me, hahahaha, it's not my mother's fault..."
Han You took a bite of the food without any surprised expression on his face. Boss Zhou had always been fascinated by his intelligence.
To say that he has no IQ, he can come up with the three-province system and disintegrate the Zhao family from within.
To say he has IQ, an old general can't do anything with him.
