Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2131 Compromise
After the beginning of this year, Yuwen Shi and his family suffered from a serious illness, lingering on the sick bed, medicine and stones were ineffective, and time was running out.

Cen Wenwen has always been on good terms with Yuwen Shiji, and now recommending Yuwen Chanti seems to be to appease this friend, so that he can see the future of his children and grandchildren, so he can smile nine springs.

His Majesty Li Er has a very close friendship with Yuwen Shiji, so he is naturally willing to give this favor.

However, what made him hesitate was that Yuwen Shiji was a member of the Guanlong nobles. If he gave his son the position of Shanyu Duhufu, he would hand over the northern barrier of Guanzhong to the Guanlong nobles.You must know that the foothills of Yinshan Mountain is the place where the "Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty" started, and it is also the ancestral home of the Guanlong nobles. The northern gate of the Great Tang Capital was handed over to the Guanlong nobles...

Is it appropriate?

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a while, his eyes wandered, and he looked at Li Ji who was silent on the side.

Li Ji still lowered his eyebrows and looked down, as if he was staying out of the matter...

His Majesty Li Er was a little dissatisfied.

In the past, you were Minister of the Ministry of War, and you only cared about your internal affairs, and you didn't want to comment on the government. This is understandable.But now you are Shangshu Zuopushe, my adjutant and assistant, it is a bit too much if you still protect your life wisely and do not want to offend others at this time...

But thinking that Li Ji didn't have any desire for power at all, and that Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot more of him by himself, he had no choice but to hold back his breath.

Looking around, His Majesty Li Er asked, "Ma Zhou, tell me about this candidate, is it suitable?"

This is the pure minister he brought under his wing, the poor boy he single-handedly picked up, so he should be able to understand his thoughts...

Ma Zhou pondered for a while, then raised his head to look directly at the emperor, and said, "Duke Ying is loyal and loyal. He followed His Majesty in his early years and worked hard. Now he is lingering on the sick bed, and medicine and stones are ineffective. I am afraid that there is no way to recover. There is not much time left. I think back then. Yuwen Shi and his rebellion resulted in the tragic death of the youngest son of Duke Ying and Princess Nanyang at the hands of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia. He has always been remembered by Duke Ying, and he will never forget it for a moment. There is no root in the local area, and only relying on force to deter and maintain the system. The candidate for the guardian must first be loyal, otherwise it will be very easy to change. Yuwen Chanti has been intelligent since childhood, has outstanding abilities, and also has royal blood, Your Majesty Why don't you be sympathetic to the old ministers, promote them and reuse them, one is to spend half of your life's friendship, and the other is to cultivate them, and you will definitely be a loyal and capable minister in the future."

Duke Ying is the title of Yuwen Shiji.

His Majesty Li Er was dissatisfied at first when he heard Ma Zhou's words.

There are so many ministers in the palace, I want to ask you, why don't you understand?

Instead of accompanying him with some dissenting words, he wanted to mention some old friendship... National affairs, can he take care of people's sophistication?

Play the piano!
But listening to it, His Majesty Li Er came back to it.

In the land of Mobei, the only way to deter and maintain governance is by force, and the most important trait of the guardians is loyalty... This obviously has something to say.

Now that Mobei is being pushed and occupied by Fang Jun all the way, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded thousands of miles at once. This is certainly an unprecedented event, but it also means that a large number of troops, Officials go to guard and manage this territory.

Whether it is Youtunwei or Youwuwei, this is the sequence of the sixteen guards of the Tang army, and it is the main armed force stationed in the capital. It is impossible to be permanently stationed in Mobei, nor in Monan.

Especially Youtunwei.

In the military system of the Tang Dynasty, all armies in the country were divided into Nanya Fubing, Beiya Forbidden Army, and Frontier Army.As the name suggests, the Southern Yamen Mansion with Twelve Guards and the Fourth Army Mansion are the main forces of the Tang Empire's army, while the Beiya Forbidden Army is a forbidden army recruited by the emperor. It is stationed in the north of the imperial palace and outside the Xuanwu Gate. It is controlled by the emperor himself. Strength, as the basic unit selected by "Hundred Cavalry", left and right guards are two of them.

This is the main force of the Suwei palace, and it is the emperor's direct line army, how can it be stationed outside all year round?
Therefore, when Youtunwei and Youwuwei returned to Guanzhong, they had to deploy northern frontier troops to station in Monan and Mobei to suppress those Hu people and monitor all possible rebellions.

And the northern frontier army was extremely infiltrated by the Guanlong Group. After all, these were the troops they started from back then...

Although the current military campaign to conquer Goguryeo had to be suspended because His Majesty Li Er was seriously ill, and Fang Junbing went out to attack Xue Yantuo, hundreds of thousands of troops were still stationed in Liaodong, and there were military camps everywhere in Youying Erzhou. Border troops everywhere.

Therefore, it is no longer feasible to transfer frontier troops from other places to the north to garrison Mobei and Monan.

We can only reuse the Northern Frontier Army infiltrated by the Guanlong Group...

However, with the virtues of the Guanlong nobles, if you let a Daduhu who is not recognized by them take charge of thousands of miles of territory in Monan, how would they agree?

In less than three to five days, there will be turbulent winds and clouds and twists and turns, and the end of the chief protector must be to return to Chang'an sadly, and choose another talented person.

Even if there was an accident directly, it is not impossible...

The current situation is like this, either give up Mobei, which is a bitter cold place anyway, or must be managed by someone approved by the Guanlong Group, and no one else can.

There was silence in the hall.

Everyone understood what Ma Zhou said, but no one wanted to speak on this matter.

A place in Mobei, a place of bitter cold, neither produces food, nor collects much tax. Why offend the nobles of Guanlong for this?
The Guanlong Group hopes to use this official position to cultivate its own reserve force, so let him go...

On the contrary, when His Majesty Li Er looked over with some dissatisfied eyes, Xiao Yu said: "The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings, and the same is true for national affairs, let alone just a chief protector of the Shanyu Dufu Mansion? Yuwen Chanti can take the position." , Order the Ministry of Officials to strictly review its administrative measures, and if there is a slight inappropriateness, it can be persuaded, or it can be replaced and replaced if it is serious."

His Majesty Li Er snorted, noncommittal.

These words sound reasonable, but when Xiao Yu said them, it was not in the intention of reciprocating the elder grandson Wuji's recommendation of Xiao Rui just now.

Heh heh, you can clearly distinguish between the chief protector of the Hanhai Protectorate Mansion and the chief protector of the Shanyu Protectorate Mansion... Like dogs of a feather, working together!
But as Ma Zhou said, as long as he wants to include Monan and Mobei into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, he has to rely on Guan Gong's aristocratic roots. , Whether it can be done or not is the second thing, I am afraid that personal safety will not be guaranteed.

It's just that an emperor has to compromise with some forces, and he feels aggrieved just thinking about it.

He became more and more determined to weaken the aristocratic family and suppress the powerful family...

But right now, compromise is necessary.

"Great kindness! The words of all your lovers are deeply in my heart. Time flies, and time flies like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed... I think that all the lovers accompanied me back then. You have worked hard on your waistbands, and this is how you have the prosperity and wealth you have today. This world belongs to me, and it belongs to you who love you. I am not a cold person. As long as you are determined, do not forget your original intention, and can be loyal to someone, Loyal to the empire, how can someone be stingy with power and wealth, and not share it with the princes? As requested by the princes and lovers, Yuwen Chanti was appointed as the chief protector of the Chanyu Governor's Mansion, and Xiao Rui was the chief protector of the Hanhai Governor's Mansion... ...As for the subordinate officials of the two Dufu Mansions, they will be selected by the Ministry of Officials, and then handed over to the Political Affairs Hall for review, and then handed over to someone for review..."

Since he was a child, His Majesty Li Er has been compromising.

He is smart and clever, but he has to compromise like the prince Li Jiancheng, because the rules are like this, and he cannot be overstepped, otherwise he will be hated by others and his safety will be in danger.He is brave and good at fighting, but he has to compromise like Li Yuanji, because Li Yuanji followed Li Jiancheng since he was a child, and Li Jiancheng defended him in every possible way. As long as Li Yuanji was a little unhappy, Li Jiancheng would protect his third brother and scold the second child, and then his father Li Yuan would treat him. Severely punished, the reason is that the temperament is out of character, which caused the brothers to be at odds...

Even if he becomes the emperor, he still has to compromise with the Guanlong nobles who support him, and with Jieli Khan who is approaching the city...

Compromise has become a hurdle he can't get around in this half of his life.

For such a strong-tempered king as His Majesty Li Er, how could it be so easy to endure it?

However, no matter how difficult it is, you must endure it.

Everyone has their own pursuits. His Majesty Li Er's pursuit is that his name can be passed down from generation to generation, beyond the history of history and through the ages, and become an emperor through the ages that surpasses the Emperor of Qin, Han and Wu!
For this achievement, he can endure all things that the emperor cannot bear.

What is a mere compromise?
No matter how hard it is, I can bear it!
　My buddies from childhood to adulthood were seriously ill, and accompanied me to the hospital, which delayed the update. I'm sorry everyone... The moon waxes and wanes, and people have blessings and misfortunes.
