Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1091

[Chapter 1091]

“The emperor is wise!”

Looking at Zhao Xu, Liu Fu heaved a sigh of relief.

This is not just his idea, but the unanimous opinion of the entire cabinet.

They don’t worry about the loyal subjects of the generals. .

After all, their emperor Zhao Xu’s Wenzhi and martial arts are unmatched by any general, and he can hold these generals down.

But as cabinet ministers, they have to plan for Daesong’s long-term future.

Their emperor will grow old one day, and the generals of the same era as their emperor will also grow old together.

At that time, the power of the court and the power of the army will fall into the hands of the new generals.

I want these cutting-edge generals who hold great power to keep themselves safe.

Instead of embracing the self-respect and bringing disaster to the country like the old dynasty, it is necessary to create a reasonable military management system.

This is the same as the original intention of establishing the cabinet.

Of course, this is a long-term consideration.

Although the current military feudalization may be minimal, it is not impossible, and the imperial court must guard against it.

Looking back at history, no matter how wise the founding monarch was, there were always stories of killing a few illustrious officials.

What is it for? Later generations will comment.

Zhao Xu nodded, and then told Liu Fu his thoughts on the general rotation system.

Hearing this, Liu Fu was even more delighted, he said: “To be honest, the cabinet has also discussed this possibility. I didn’t expect the emperor to think ahead of us in everything.”

“Really?” Zhao Xu was a little surprised, the cabinet minister It’s really far-sighted to think of these.

However, it is not surprising that these ministers have studied government affairs with themselves for so long, and it seems that they have considered this point.

Then, he looked at Liu Fu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “In this case, this matter will be discussed by your cabinet, and then brought up in the court.”

“Huh?” .

Obviously, the rotation of generals is an offending personnel matter.

Emperor Zhao Xu himself proposed that he would have to appease the generals.

Fortunately, this matter fell on the head of the cabinet.

In the future, the generals will not spread their grievances on the cabinet ministers like them?

“Why? You don’t want to.” Seeing Liu Fu hesitated, Zhao Xu said lightly, “I let you be the head of the cabinet to resist, not to be a peacemaker. In the future, the New Deal that offends people will become more and more serious. Many, I’m afraid of offending people, so I don’t do anything.” After

a pause, Zhao Xu continued, “Of course I can issue an imperial edict directly, but what’s the point of your cabinet at this time? After a hundred years from now, who can To issue this imperial decree? So from now on, your cabinet will demonstrate your rights in some important matters.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Liu Fu blushed for a while.

Generals like Chang Wei and Qin Shan were all his old acquaintances, so he was indeed a little embarrassed at first.

But Zhao Xu’s decision this time is obviously to improve the status of the cabinet.

Of course, there is also the emperor’s balance technique, but after all, it is more about supporting the cabinet.

Thinking of this, he said again, “I will go back and summon the cabinet ministers to discuss this matter

when I go back.” “It’s not too bad.” Zhao Xu nodded, “From now on, your cabinet must make bold decisions. This boat just needs to deviate from the direction, how to row the boat is all up to you.”

“Thank you for your kindness.” Liu Fu’s heart warmed.

Zhao Xu’s words obviously meant delegating power, allowing the cabinet to participate more in Dasong’s government affairs and preside over Dasong’s major domestic decisions.

“Go back!” After saying this, Zhao Xu waved his hand.

Watching Liu Fu disappear, Zhao Xu smiled.

He knew what Liu Fu was thinking, and Liu Fu knew what he was thinking.

Just as Liu Fu thought, the rotation of generals was to enhance the influence of the cabinet on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was the emperor’s control technique.

In any dynasty, it is taboo for civil servants to get close to Wuguan.

Therefore, he wanted Liu Fu and the cabinet ministers to restrain Chang Wei and the generals from all aspects.

If they are allowed to wear a pair of trousers, then in the future, the generals of the army will have to approve as much military salary as the cabinet wants.

If this is the case, the Great Song he established will be finished in a few years.

As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but difficult to defend the country.

What is the reason?

Fighting against the country is a group of people trying to grab other people’s cakes, so they will naturally work together and achieve internal harmony.

As for defending the country, it is a matter of dividing the cake after getting the cake, which requires people to beat their brains.

After all, everyone wants to eat more.

As an emperor, his most important task is to allocate rationally, so as to prevent one party from becoming dominant and leading to loss of control.

How to avoid one party taking the lead, in addition to restructuring during this period, there is also the need to allow all parties to restrict each other and achieve a balanced state.

In this way, he can make whoever eats more eat more, and whoever eats less eats less.

In short, the other party can take what he gives, and the other party cannot take what he does not give.

To achieve this, it is obviously a very reasonable way to hold the cabinet with one hand and the Department of Defense with the other.

The military of the Defense Department is used to deter the civil servants representing the cabinet, and at the same time, the financial power held by the cabinet is used to restrict the generals of the Defense Department, and finally achieve the harmony of yin and yang.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Xu realized that he hadn’t replied to Chang Wei’s telegram yet.

So a telegram was sent to the same pass, ordering Chang Wei to advance west immediately after receiving the ammunition supply.

Another order was given to the Defense Department, ordering the Defense Department to dispatch ammunition supplies and send them to the same customs.

At this time, seeing that it was getting late, all the street lamps in the palace were turned on, illuminating the Wuji Palace as bright as day.

Through the corridor illuminated by street lamps, he went to the harem.

On the way, the eunuchs and maids were all used to the light of the street lamps, they didn’t always look at the street lamps as they did at the beginning, but concentrated on their own affairs.

When he arrived at the harem, he first went to Yang Susu’s palace to talk for a while, and then went to Feng’er and Luan’er’s palaces respectively.

At the moment, Yang Susu is seven months pregnant, Feng’er is five months pregnant, and Luan’er was also pregnant last month.

All three of them were pregnant with dragon and phoenix twins, which made Empress Dowager Mi very happy.

Now he comes to the palace every now and then, and specially asks Zhao Xu to accompany the three of them more.

At present, the established cabinet undertakes most of the cumbersome government affairs, and Zhao Xu is only responsible for the final approval, so he has a lot of leisure.

Therefore, during this period of time, he either accompanied the three of them to play inside and outside the palace, or guided the research and development of the research institute, or gave lectures in various colleges.

After Dasong’s industry enters the electric age, it is obvious that more knowledge and technologies need to be unlocked.

In addition, he just picked up a pen, wrote down the knowledge in his mind, and compiled books one after another.

Many professional books were sent directly to research institutes in various industries.

For example, professional books on construction, roads, and bridge construction were sent to the Research and Development Institute of the Construction Department.

Medical books were sent to research institutes of medical schools and so on.

These books will help research institutes in various industries to launch more results.
