The 231st chapter fierce army (4)(2/2)







The so-called opening of the government means that one will appoint a team similar to the six ministries and nine ministers outside the court system. This is often the case with powerful officials in history. For example, Cao Cao, the officials under the Wei Palace actually controlled the great power in the court.

In the Tang Dynasty, there are usually only princes, and princesses can open their own governments. For example, the Qin Palace and Qi Palace in the early Tang Dynasty all had their own officials. However, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the opening of the palace was often a formality. In fact, various officials in the palace, such as the chief of the prince's palace, Sima, chief clerk, record office, military officer and other officials were appointed by the court and had no power at all.

The prince could open a government, but most ministers were more taboo. Originally, the governors of the Tang Dynasty could also appoint some officials on their own. However, after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, whether it was Emperor Suzong of Tang or the later powerful families, they all agreed to prohibit the governor from opening the government to prevent the Anshi Rebellion from happening again. Therefore, whether it is the Cui family, Pei family or Wei family, they only have staff but no officials. It is precisely because of this that the families only control the army, and the local government is still in the hands of the governor and the court that appoints the governors. In the end, they can give priority to recommending officials.

However, Kaifu and the various families appoint military officials themselves, which means that the Jiedushi is likely to interfere in local government affairs.

However, Zhang Huan was not the first to take the lead. In fact, since last year, Zhu Li had appointed local officials from various counties and counties in Shu on his own, just like an independent kingdom. It was just that the court had no choice but to pretend that he was unaware of it.

But what made the court a little more comfortable was that the officials appointed by Zhang Huan seemed to be limited to Hehuang, which was originally the place where he seized Tubo. Although this act of overreaching power made the court uncomfortable, it did not infringe on the interests of the court after all. The governors of Jincheng, Longxi, Kaiyang and other counties were still in power.

However, those who truly understand the details of Zhang Huan’s opening of the mansion are not so optimistic. Let’s go back to Longyou and take a look at Zhang Huan’s path to seizing power.

In Jincheng County, a building complex one mile away from the Longyou Jiedu Headquarters is still being built in a busy manner. Its real purpose has been gradually revealed in the past two days. It is indeed the new office of Jiedushi Shixin. However, its name is no longer "Longyou Jiedu Headquarters", but it is called "Longyou Jiedu Palace".

There is a picture of the official position of the Jiedu Office created from somewhere in the streets, alleys, restaurants and teahouses in Jincheng County.

There is one chief officer in the mansion, Hu Yong, aide of Zhang Huan, and several under his responsibilities, and one Sima, Pei Mingyuan holds this position. There are also several military personnel of the six Caos, and there are two left and right military personnel of the six Caos, as well as several other military personnel, including literature, medicine, chief clerk, and record office.

A person who understands it can see at a glance that this is completely established according to the official position of the governor's office. If the land under its jurisdiction is several states, then it is completely a small court. The chief minister is equivalent to the Secretariat, and Sima is equivalent to the Secretariat, and the Six Cathedrals are naturally six ministries. The most wonderful thing is to register the left and right officials in the military, which is corresponding to the Left and Left Secretary, and the specific affairs officers such as literature and medicine are the Nine Ministers.

The county under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Jiedu Prefecture has established a delegation training envoy. Their main responsibilities are to manage military households and militias, as well as military farms, armored wars and other affairs, and they do not control regular troops. Except for several Hehuang counties, they are the military envoys who are in charge of the army and serve as the delegation training envoys who are in charge of local affairs.

The regiment training staff each has its own offices and offices. Of course, if necessary, they can also take charge of other people outside the military households.

Finally, the Longyou Jiedu Prefecture also specially established an inspector. The targets of supervision were not only the army, but all officials under the Jiedu were the targets of supervision, even the Chief Shi and Sima. The Supervisor was not under the jurisdiction of the Chief Shi and was directly responsible to the Jiedu.

However, the people did not make a fuss about it. After all, the Jiedushi and other Jiedushi had always arranged this way before the Anshi Rebellion. Most of the prefectures and counties under the Jiedushi were governed by the governors, not the governors. They were generally governors and governors, and the governors were in charge of the affairs of the state. The governors were in charge of the army. In fact, the Jiedushi controlled the military and political power under their rule. Geshuhan, An Sishun, Gao Xianzhi, and An Lushan all held military and political power.

That morning, Hu Yong came to the Governor's Mansion in Jincheng County. The Governor's Mansion is located in the middle of Wuquan Street, about three miles away from Zhang Huan's Jiedu headquarters. The Governor is still Du Ya. The news that Zhang Huan opened the mansion was that he sent a 800-mile express delivery to the court.

However, his source of information was like ordinary people in Jincheng County. From the layout of the official position of the Jiedushi Office, he guessed that at this moment, the structural diagram on jute paper was placed on Du Ya's table, and Du Ya was sitting aside and staring at it in a daze.

Although Du Ya once defected to Wei Yan, he was also a stubborn royalist at heart. Because of this, when Zhang Huan's army attacked Jincheng County, he offered the city without hesitation. Although his other purpose was not to let the people suffer from military chaos, he also hoped that Zhang Huan could not be subordinate to a certain family like him and be loyal to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

But the final result disappointed him a little. Zhang Huan was even more excessive than the Wei family. He directly controlled the military and political power in the entire Longyou area. He ignored the imperial court and attacked Hehuang without the consent of the imperial court. Now he actually wanted to open an office and appoint officials himself. In order to manage military households and militias, he still didn't know what was hidden in it? It was really tolerant, but who would not be able to bear it.

At this time, a yamen runner outside the door reported: "Governor, Zhang Envoy's aide Hu Yong asked for a meeting."

‘Hu Yong?’ Du Ya couldn’t help but turn his eyes to the head on the table. The head of the Jiedu Mansion, he snorted heavily, “I won’t see you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle came from the door, "Why is the governor Du so disgusted with Hu?"

But I don’t know when Hu Yong arrived in front of his room. Du Ya glared at the yamen runners fiercely, all of whom were helping the wind to drive the rudder. He had no choice but to stand up and bow and say, “I’m not in good health these days, so it’s not suitable to meet guests.”

"Oh! Then I'll talk less and leave." Hu Yong quickly bowed to him and apologized.

Seeing that the other party was polite, Du Ya felt a little disgusted with him, and waved her hand and said, "Mr. Hu, please sit down!"

Hu Yong sat down, and a little boy served tea for the two of them. Du Ya picked up the teacup, took a sip and asked, "I wonder what's wrong with sir?"

"It's not me looking for you, but my governor asked me to tell you something." Hu Yong glanced at the picture on the desk, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said lightly: "My governor has always admired the style of governor Du's integrity and serving the people, seeking truth and being pragmatic. He also knows that governor Du is a talented person. This time he took down Hehuang, and there are all things to be done. There is a lack of officials like governor Du who seek truth and pragmatic. My governor hopes that governor Du can go to Hehuang to govern the people. If governor Du is willing, the governor can appoint you to train history as the Xiping County regiment and be responsible for the government affairs of Xiping County."

‘Appointing Xiping County Gate to practice history?’ Du Ya suddenly laughed at the sky, “What did Zhang Huan treat himself as?”

Hu Yong's face darkened and he said unhappily: "My governor is sincere. Does governor Du think it's ridiculous?"

"I don't think there is any sincerity, but I think your governor is extremely arrogant." Du Ya's laughter retracted and said coldly: "I also have a piece of advice, please tell Zhang Jun."

Hu Yong glanced at him without saying anything, and Du Ya did not go around the corner, so he said bluntly: "Envoy Zhang took down Hehuang, which is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty. If he offered it to the court, he would be famous for the ages, but he regarded it as a private place. Not only did he not allow the court to send people to govern, but he also appointed officials without authorization. What is the difference between this and An Lushan and the others back then? If he could wake up, please listen to my advice and give Hehuang to the court as soon as possible."

Hu Yong shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's a good thing that the governor values ​​you so much. It turns out that he is just a corrupt scholar. I ask you, what is the court? Did you hand over Hehuang to the Cui family, Pei family or Li family, and the court sent people to govern it, but it was just for the Cui and Pei families to divide it up. More than 20,000 soldiers in Xiliang were killed. Is their blood flowing in vain?"

Speaking of this, Hu Yong stood up and bowed to him, "The way is different, I won't plot against him, Hu said goodbye!"

Du Ya looked at his back and strides away, his eyes slowly showing a look of pain, and the pen in his hand was broken into two parts.













"Did he really say I am the same as An Lushan?" Zhang Huan turned around and smiled.

"Yes!" Hu Yong nodded, "That's what he said, hoping that the governor would cut off the idea of ​​opening the mansion and hand over Hehuang to the court."

Zhang Huan sighed slightly and said with some regret: "If I win the world, I will use this person more. Unfortunately, I will not be able to give up on him now."

"The governor has given politeness first. Since he doesn't appreciate it, it's no wonder that the governor is. It's just that the opportunity is not missed. The governor should make a decision."

Zhang Huan didn't say anything. He looked out the window and the group of birds were looking for food on the grass. He had already made detailed news from Taiyuan. He knew that there must be a fierce battle between Cui and Pei. In other words, Pei Jun had no time to take care of him, let alone let Shuofang's 200,000 troops heading south. How could he not seize this rare opportunity? Since he wanted to do big things, how could he look forward to it and couldn't make a decision for a long time? Hu Yong was right, and he should make a decision.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered: "Let Du Mei come to see me!"
