Father can be an enemy to the country

Early in the morning, Wuying Palace is bathed in the morning light.

"The Duke of Xuan Cao, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Song, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Wei, Deng Yu, and the Prime Minister of the Right, Hu Weiyong, come to see you." Eunuch Wu sang loudly.

Four civil and military leaders came into the hall and kowtowed to Boss Zhu who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"Here you go, get up." Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was as usual and he ordered: "Give me a seat."

The palace servants brought the brocade pier to the table. After the four of them thanked him, they all took advantage of the opportunity to take a peek at the emperor while they were sitting down.

Unexpectedly, the east row of window sash, which is usually closed, is open today. The bright morning sun shone in and turned into straight beams of light hitting the throne.

The emperor's face was also hidden in the morning light, making them unable to see Boss Zhu's expression clearly.

But if you think about it, you will know that the emperor must not have a good face. They knew how much of a blow it was to the emperor to strike down Jianzhongdu.

At the same time, the four of them are all old cousins ​​of Fengyang, and they also know how big a blow the failure to move the capital will be to the Huaixi Group.

This is the first time the emperor has summoned him after returning to Beijing, so one can imagine the subtle atmosphere...

After the four of them sat down, they quickly looked at their noses and eyes, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Have you heard about what happened in my hometown?"

"I heard it." Li Wenzhong nodded.

"Alas, we came back in good spirits, but in despair." Zhu Yuanzhang said depressedly: "This result is uncomfortable."

The three princes didn't know how to play it correctly, but fortunately there was Mr. Hu.

"The emperor's benevolence, caring for the people, self-discipline and self-discipline are beyond measure, which is really a blessing to the common people." Hu Weiyong hurriedly respectfully continued: "I believe Mr. Han and others can now appreciate the painstaking efforts of the superiors."

The three gentlemen secretly envied her for being so eloquent...

"I hope. We can't force Lao Li..." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. After all, he not only ruined his dream of moving the capital, but also roasted his nephew, cleaned him and threw him to his family, who hated him so much. Disposed by civilian husbands.

Ordinarily, if this is the case, he should continue to do it and even kill Lao Li. But Lao Li is Lao Li after all. It is not difficult to kill him rashly, but the consequences are really unpredictable.

So Zhu Yuanzhang had to take it step by step. After a brief greeting, he told the four people the purpose of today's summons:

"Let's not talk about the bad things in my hometown. We have an idea. Let me tell you about it and you can read it in detail."

"Your Majesty, please speak." The four people hurriedly made a sign of listening.

"We are going to change the provincial capital guards into the capital command and envoy departments." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When Hu Weiyong heard that it was not a matter of Zhongshu Province, he relaxed and watched the play.

However, the three princes all looked solemn.

In the early days of the Republic of China, the imperial court established governor's offices in each province. The officials were the same as those in the governor's office, and they had jurisdiction over the military affairs of a province. Later it was changed to Duwei, which means that the whole province's defense posts are under the control of the whole province. In addition, in terms of the control of the capital guards, the ranks are quite heavy, so the imperial court, that is, the governor's office, chooses to promote them and is not allowed to be hereditary.

The three princes are currently in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Deng Yu asked in confusion: "In the upper position, is there any difference between Du Wei and Du Si?"

"There are two differences. One is the different affiliations. Originally, the capital guards were under the jurisdiction of each province. The governor-general only had the power of appointment and dismissal, and did not have the right to directly mobilize the troops of the provinces." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "After the past few years, it seems that this is not good. The governor-general There is a layer between the government and the capital, so it is easy for the court to fail to coordinate.

"Furthermore, the power of each province is already heavy. If we control the military power, it will become an independent kingdom. If things go on like this, the imperial court will be weak and strong. How can it last long?"

"Yes." The four people nodded quickly and heard the emperor continue:

"This also makes the connection between the imperial guards and the imperial court too weak. If things go on like this, they will become independent kingdoms."

Seeing that Boss Zhu was speaking so seriously, none of the three gentlemen dared to express any objection.

"So we plan to separate the Duwei from the provinces and rename them Dusi, directly under the Dudufu. What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his three military leaders and asked.

The three gentlemen looked at each other and expressed no objection.

They were in charge of the Dudu's Mansion, so naturally they wanted to be the Dusi Zhili. They had long had enough of the annoying experience of being pushed around by the provinces when they wanted to mobilize troops from the provincial garrison posts.

"Then what's the other difference between being superior?" Deng Yu asked cautiously.

"The Dusi itself will no longer have direct jurisdiction over the troops. The original troops directly under the Duwei will be split into several guard posts." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly:

"That's another difference."

When Boss Zhu said this, even the fool understood. Compared to the Duwei, the Dusi has been completely weakened... It has been reduced from a large military leader commanding the troops of a province to a management organization like the Dudu Mansion.

Although this is a long-term military system reform, at this moment, it is a weakening of Huaixi's nobles.

Because the commanders and envoys in each province are all from Huaixi...

~~

"How about it, tell me what you think?"

After hearing what the emperor said, the three dukes looked at each other. If the only difference was the first one, they would have welcomed him with their hands raised.

But the second one is different, it’s really offending...

"Why don't you say anything? Do you have any opinions?" Zhu Yuanzhang then named him and said, "Bao'er, you speak first."

The eldest nephew Li Wenzhong's nickname is the same as Ping'an. He quickly stood up and said: "Uncle, after changing the name to Chengdu, does the power of the provincial commanders and envoys become much smaller than before?"

He is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and there are some things he has to say.

"In war, the governors dispatch troops and generals, and the governors are in charge of military training in peacetime. Why do you need so much power?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "If you have too much power, wouldn't you be the military governor of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, I understand." Li Wenzhong nodded and stopped talking.

"Bo Yan, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked Deng Yu again, and Deng Boyan said.

Deng Yu, who had always been simple and cautious, had already heard that the emperor had already made up his mind. Now he was not discussing with them at all, but just notifying them in advance before issuing the official edict.

"The superior sage, I have no objections. I only have a few suggestions. Dusi is a military organization. The establishment does not need to be limited to provincial divisions. It may be established according to needs. For example, places such as Liaodong and Wanquan are currently sparsely populated and are not enough to establish For a province, can we first establish a capital department to command the garrison, guard the border and cultivate the villages, and also manage the civil and criminal prisons?" He said in an orderly manner.

The other three people heard this and secretly scolded Wei Guogong for being an old fox. These words not only clearly supported the emperor, but also gave the local generals some room for change. Neither side was offended, and both sides were accountable.

"Me too..." What else could Duke Song say? He could only say in a low voice.

As for Hu Weiyong, Duwei is still Dusi, and he has nothing to do with him, so he will naturally not go against his superiors.

"Then the matter is settled." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Hu Weiyong, ask the Zhongshu Province to prepare documents and issue the decree tomorrow morning."

"Yes, superior." Hu Weiyong responded respectfully.
