After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Ying Shu remembered that after Sikong Beichen ascended the throne, a commander of the Chinese military once again committed the crime of falsely claiming money and food. Not only was the person who made the false report himself convicted, but his direct superior was also dismissed. Thinking about it now, the conduct of the Chinese military had already been improved to a certain extent at that time. From this phenomenon, it can be deduced that Xie Shen was impeached in his previous life, and Sikong Yuehu also seized the opportunity to reorganize the Chinese army. Yingshu vaguely remembered that it was Xie Jin who took the initiative to "sitting together", He voluntarily resigned from the post of Dazhongzheng, and the person who succeeded him was Cui Yan, the head of Cui in Hedong. Although the Cui family did not belong to the eight powerful families today, they were still high-ranking nobles and had a famous surname.

Hedong Cui and Fan Yanglu were married for generations.

However, when Sikong Beichen decided to severely punish the offending leader, Wansu persuaded Sikong Beichen to be extraneous to the law because he listened to someone's advice. The reason was that although the crime of impersonating money and food was to divert the royal family's military supplies for his own use , should be strictly prohibited, but it only caused damage to property, not a serious crime. The main duty of the ministers is to be diligent and preventive. There is no neglect of duty in this regard, and a certain degree of leniency should be given.

Sikong Beichen was very angry at that time and angrily criticized Mrs. Wansu for her kindness. Since she didn't understand military affairs, she shouldn't interfere in government affairs.

At that time, Yingshu didn't quite understand the serious harm caused by pretending to receive money and food. Seeing that Sikong Beichen was getting angry, she silently swallowed her doubts. It wasn't until Sikong Yuehu became the assistant king that she went to the military camp in person. During the inspection, I thought of this question and asked Sikong Yuehu for advice.

"If the behavior of falsely reporting military households is not prohibited, it will first cause the Ministry of War to have an unrealistic understanding of the strength of the Chinese army. If there is an emergency war, it will most likely not be able to achieve the actual number of troops mobilized by the army if it is not clear and mobilized. Purpose; Secondly, the imperial court will set up farmland according to the number of military households so that the army can be supplied. If the false declaration is too serious, it will actually cause a burden on the farmers, because the farmland is actually the land of farmers seized by the court. Those who falsely report military households can use the In this name, one can legitimately take the farmers' farmland as their own.

In addition, there is another kind of false reporting, which is to conceal the number of soldiers who have died in the battle, so that the relatives of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country cannot receive the war death pension. The subordinates pretend to receive the money and food that the soldiers who have died in the battle deserve, completely ignoring their subordinates. As a result, the surviving family members are suffering from hunger and cold, and they dare not express their anger. As such resentment increases, sooner or later, it will break out. When it breaks out, the situation will be out of control. "

Only then did Ying Shu realize that the subordinates who had falsely reported their claims seemed to have embezzled the royal family's property, but in fact the real victims were still the common people. But the people don't know the inside story. Their resentment will go straight to the monarch, believing that the monarch does not care about their life and death. If such resentment accumulates to a certain extent, civil strife breaks out, and the kingdom will be overturned.

Corruption crimes committed by small ministers can lead to the collapse of the country.

Among the current princes, apart from Sikong Beichen, probably only Sikong Yuehu understands that rectifying the central army and prohibiting false claims and false claims is a top priority.

She couldn't help but quietly raised her eyes and looked at the person sitting in front of the throne. From her angle at this time, she could only see the bridge of her nose, which was like a thin blade. Sikong Yuehu was not excited because of the "good opportunity from heaven". Perhaps, it was because It is not easy to turn an imminent North Korean conflict into a favorable situation. He pointed out the key points and pondered how to plan the move.

"Zheng Bei had already discussed with He Ao how to act, so he would no longer reach a tacit agreement with Xie Jin to retreat before the battle. He was still persuaded by Concubine Zheng, and decided that this was an excellent opportunity to join forces with Jiang Donghe to suppress Chen Jun Xie. Xie Jin Man..." Sikong Tong pondered a little: "It's hard for me to see through his mind, but Duke Linyi knows him well. Compared to Zheng Bei, his planning will be more long-term."

"If we want to take this opportunity to achieve the goal of reorganizing the Chinese army, we must win the support of Duke Chen. Duke Chen will set an example, take the blame and blame himself, and personally impeach Xie Shen and other subordinates related to the Xie family to give advice. Strictly investigate the crime of false claims and false claims, and Duke Chang Ping cannot escape the blame. Only by reporting various measures to his father in the past can we hope to take this opportunity to implement them." Sikong Yuehu said: "The position of Dazhongzheng is important. It will be awarded to someone else.”

If even Xie Jin can escape unscathed, the impeachment of Xie Shen will be another power struggle with big thunder and small rain. Those officers who violated the law will only think that Xie Shen's conviction is nothing more than Jiang Donghe's use to suppress Chen The reason for the county's resignation has nothing to do with them. Many soldiers will not believe that the imperial court will really make great efforts to rectify the Chinese army and that the hidden dangers will not be eradicated.

"When He Ao takes action, Xie Jin will probably discuss it with Linyi Duke," Sikong Tong said.

Yingshu understood that her grandfather was taking on the role of lobbyist this time.

"Father, the new Grand Central Officer cannot be recommended by Duke Chen, nor can he be a party ally of Duke Chen."

"I have been considering this." Sikong Tong suddenly realized: "Is Silang worried that Xie Jin will not be persuaded by Linyi Duke?"

"In my father's mind, the candidate for great justice is Fan Yanggong's lineage?"

This family, of course, also includes Fan Yanglu's close family.

Ying Shu was not surprised by Sikong Yuehu's "unpredictable prophecy". The candidate for the post of Dazhongzheng must have extremely high prestige and be convinced by many nobles. Then he must be from a noble family and have full qualifications. There are not many candidates. , and at least judging from the current situation, His Majesty has no plans for Yi Chu. Fan Yanglu is the future wife of Sikong Beichen. It is a reasonable analysis to transfer the post of Dazhengzhong to Fan Yanglu's family.

Sikong Yuehu said again: "Although Duke Chen is different from Duke Changping, he seems to support Madam Xie's plans. I am worried that if my father's decision on the position of Dazhongzheng is too obvious, it will benefit the crown prince brother, not only Duke Chen, but also Duke Chen." I'm afraid that Duke Chang Ping will suddenly realize that my father wants to make the three surnames snipe and clam fight."

Yingshu's heart beat suddenly rapidly, and she was surprised that Sikong Yuehu would actually "trouble things behind his back" and try to stop Sikong Beichen from enjoying the benefits? But in the blink of an eye, her mind became clear again.

The current situation is different from the previous life.

At this time in the previous life, Mrs. Xie's original plan had come to nothing. Her sister Qing'e had been sentenced to death, and Mrs. Xie was not officially in charge of palace affairs. Under such circumstances, Xie Jin was not in a hurry to target Sikong Beichen's crown prince position, and even He would think that his chances of winning were too small, so he would simply cooperate with the emperor and pave a safe way for Chen Jun Xie to escape. But now that she has replaced Wang Qing'e and won the position of female historian in the Qianyang Palace, Mrs. Xie's plan is still very likely to succeed. How can Xie Jin be willing to become a stepping stone for Sikong Beichen?

Sikong Yuehu didn't want to undermine Sikong Beichen, but he just felt that His Majesty's plan was difficult to get the best of both worlds.

"In your opinion, Shiro, who will succeed the post of Dazhongzheng before Xie Jin can compromise?"

Yingshu felt Sikong Yuehu glance at her.

But when she couldn't help but "confirm" it, all she saw was still only one side of the man's nose.

"My sons recommend Duke Yanling."

Yingshu's maternal grandfather, Lu Jing, was granted the title of Duke of Yanling County.

"Silang and I have another thought." Sikong Tong actually said the same. He actually looked at Ying Shu: "The reason why Emperor Xiu was able to enter the palace was not only Concubine Xie's obsession, but also Xie Jin was extremely supportive. The king Although the Xie and Xie clans have not been related by marriage in recent generations, they have always been on good terms and have never had any disputes. Lu Anping is an in-law of the Duke of Linyi. In Xie Jin's view, he has nothing to do with the prince. If he succeeds as the great general, at least it will not harm Chen. The interests of the county.

But who will succeed Dazhong is the end of this court dispute. I am worried that Concubine Xie will lose her temper. She is now in charge of the inner court, and she is the target of Concubine He and Concubine Zheng. There is a dispute in the court, and the inner court is also There will be no peace, but we can no longer let Concubine He and Concubine Zheng take advantage of Concubine Xie. Emperor Xiu, today I let you listen to the discussion between me and Shiro, because I also want to give you an errand.

You can decide at your discretion whether to reveal to Concubine Xie that I intend to grant your grandfather the position of Dazhongzheng. In short, it should be based on appeasing Concubine Xie. "

Yingshu could not and did not think about resisting the decree. She did not have strong hostility towards the second and third princes, but based on the same hatred as Mrs. Xie, she certainly could not bear Concubine He and Concubine Zheng to use Mrs. Xie as a target. Constantly firing bright arrows and cold arrows, even if these personal grudges are put aside, it is fair to say that the second and third princes are not as good as Sikong Beichen in the ability to govern the country, and they really do not have the qualifications to become a wise ruler. When Sikong Beichen "falls", these two princes will be considered by His Majesty as candidates for the crown prince. Neither of their mothers and concubines can become the actual decision-makers of the inner court personnel. Ying Shu has no fear of making enemies, Concubine He and Concubine Zheng.

What made her sigh was that she didn't expect that her grandfather would become the successor to the post of Dazhongzheng.

The Jiangdong Lu family had never had the idea of ​​seizing the heir apparent, but because they were originally powerful in Jiangdong, when Jiankang became the imperial capital of Yu, they naturally wanted to consolidate the family's power, especially since Ying Shu knew that her maternal family was actually related to There has long been a feud between the two surnames He and Zhang. If they lose power, they will definitely be suppressed by the two surnames. Therefore, Jiangdong Lucai and the King of Linyi joined forces to rely on the support of the royal family to stabilize their strength and prevent the family property from being embezzled by the He, Zhang and other clans.

Her grandfather was more cautious in his actions than her grandfather, and he inevitably appeared to be forward-looking and cautious, putting prudence and safety first in everything. This time, he was suddenly entrusted with an important task by His Majesty. I am afraid that he was more worried than happy, but of course he would not refuse such an important position as Dazhongzheng.

My grandfather was a civil servant, and Dazhongzheng was undoubtedly the pinnacle of civil servants. The temptation was too great.

It's one thing not to want to compete for the top spot, but it's really hard to get rid of the temptation when God gives you the opportunity. Excessive worries are actually due to worries about not being competent, so they worry about how to live up to the monarch's trust and how to win the trust of all the officials in the court. If you decide to refuse, there is no need to worry.

Whether her grandfather is qualified or not is not an issue that Ying Shu should consider yet. She is also very confident in appeasing Mrs. Xie, but she is not in Zhaoyang Palace after all, and she knows that Zheng Guiren will definitely launch a conspiracy against Zhaoyang Palace. In terms of talent, Mrs. Xie is better than Mr. Zheng, but in terms of city government, Yingshu feels that Mrs. Xie is more straightforward, while Mr. Zheng is much more cunning and cunning. Mrs. Xie has not been plotted by Mr. Zheng in the past, mostly because Mr. Zheng does not really regard Mrs. Xie as an opponent.

It is actually not easy for Zhaoyang Palace to survive this storm.
