King Qi took the initiative to actively demand the garrison of the northern border?

Yuwen Shu's first reaction was surprise, very surprised, and even suspected that he had misheard his eyes and heard it wrong. However, the King of Qi stood in front of him and was making a generous speech with great enthusiasm. This was absolutely nothing wrong. The King of Qi did put forward his own request, and this request was to guard the northern border.

However, the King of Qi had no intention of garrisoning the northern border, and the King of Qi made this incredible request with another purpose.

This was the first judgment Yuwen Shu made, and he believed in this judgment.

He knew exactly who the King of Qi was. He had always been with the Holy Lord since the unification of Middle-earth, watching King Qi grow up, especially since the death of Prince Yuande, he paid more attention to King Qi. After all, King Qi was a legitimate heir to the imperial throne. As long as the King of Qi himself did not have any surprises, the owner of the Eastern Palace must be King Qi. This is not only a need for political stability, but also a need for long-term stability in Middle-earth. However, what made him extremely disappointed was that King Qi not only had an "accident", but also a huge "accident". King Qi insisted on conservative political philosophy, which was contrary to the radical political philosophy of the Holy Lord and the reformists. In this way, King Qi not only cut off his own way of crown prince, but also provoked a dispute over the imperial throne, which worsened the political situation and directly endangered the stability of the country's destiny and the great cause of unification.

Of course, the responsibility cannot be all pushed to the King of Qi. The outbreak of the new round of imperial unification disputes ultimately stems from the core contradiction of reform and conservatism. Today, Yang Xuangan launched a mutiny, which also stems from this core contradiction. As long as this core contradiction exists, political storms will be one after another until the opponent falls or both sides die together, otherwise the storm will not stop.

The King of Qi had been "defeated" by the storm, but the failure of the first Eastern Expedition gave the King of Qi a chance to make a comeback. Today, the storm gave the King of Qi an opportunity to seize the imperial rule. How could the King of Qi give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Since the King of Qi was determined to enter the Eastern Palace, how could he go north to guard the border? Now the relationship between the north and the south is deteriorating, and the border is full of smoke. The situation in the northern border is grim. Not only does he have a heavy responsibility, but he also has life worries. How can the King of Qi, who has been pampered since childhood, be able to do so.

Can you put yourself in danger and dance on the tip of a knife? The King of Qi has a special identity and great influence. Especially after the outbreak of the "unethical" case, his advantage in the struggle for imperial reign has been lost and he is becoming more and more marginalized politically. At this time, when he went north to guard the border, the signal sent by the politically will not be positive, but negative, but actually deposed or political exile. This is equivalent to the "death penalty" of the King of Qi. How could the ambitious King of Qi change his course and seek death?

Since this is the case, why did the King of Qi take the initiative to go north to guard the border?

Yuwen Shu was the first to think of King Yang Liang of Han. When the late emperor asked King Yang of Han to take charge of the northern border and commanded the military and political power of the 53 counties of Jin Youyan and Ji. The veritable "King of the North" was strong enough to compete with the central government. As a result, as soon as the late emperor died, King Yang of Han launched a mutiny and wanted to overthrow the Holy Lord with force to seize the imperial rule. This lesson is too profound, which also shows the importance of the centralized system. To accelerate the pace of centralization, we must accelerate the pace of reform, and in the name of reform, power and wealth should be concentrated in the central government to the greatest extent, and in the hands of the emperor.

It was the "violent" centralization reform that began, and the biggest "stumbling block" that hindered centralization was that the local administrative agencies at the provincial level and the local marching general manager were first abolished. The central government directly under the jurisdiction of 190 counties, and the Weifu directly under the jurisdiction of more than 600 Yingyang Prefectures, "sweeping away the ban on the border officials who hold heavy power in the local area. In this way, the efficiency of the implementation of central policies has been greatly improved, and the reform process has been greatly accelerated. More importantly, the cause of unification has been strengthened, and there will be no more "local princes" like King Yang Liang of Han who directly threaten the stability of the country.

Is the purpose of the King of Qi going north to guard the border to imitate Yang Liang, the Han Han King, and be a "prince"? This is obviously unrealistic. Now that the military and political affairs are separated, even in the border, the local administrative power belongs to the county magistrate, and the garrison military power belongs to Yingyang Mansion, and the power of the garrison military power belongs to Yingyang Mansion, and cannot monopolize the power. Let's take a step back, even if the Holy Lord grants the position of General of the King of Qi's Wei Mansion and grants him the command power in wartime, he will also be undermined by the generals of the real power when he arrives at the border, because the commander of the Wei Mansion cannot directly command Yingyang Mansion. The emperor will appoint General Wuyalang and General Wubeng as the general.

He led several Yingyang Mansions to fight. As long as the emperor controlled the generals of the army and the Lang General of the Yingyang Mansion, he basically controlled the army. During the late emperor period, the Supreme Commander was under the marching commander, and a marching commander had tens of thousands of troops under the marching commander. The power of the generals was very strong, which seriously restricted the concentration of military power. By the time of the Holy Lord, the Supreme Commander was under the marching commander, and the maximum number of military power was only four or five thousand people under the marching commander, and the smallest was even one or two thousand. The power of the generals was severely weakened, which was obviously conducive to the concentration of military power.

Of course, everything has been adapted. In the past few years, in order to manage the Western Land, the Holy Lord specially set up the Honghua Left-guard Office, which is in charge of the military power of the thirteen counties in Longyou. Although the Left-guard Office is a temporary institution, as long as it exists, the highest commander of the Left-guard Office holds heavy power. In recent years, due to the eastern expedition, the power of the towns and garrisons in some special places needs to be strengthened, so more and more left-guard offices are built, such as Dongdu, Xijing, Jiangdu, Zhuojun, Pengcheng, Donglai, etc. Although it is stipulated that they are all temporary institutions and are withdrawn as soon as they are done, and different left-guard offices have different specific responsibilities and different powers are also large and large, but as long as they are not revoked, the highest commander of the Left-guard office still has great power.

According to this trend, when the relationship between the north and the south deteriorates and the entire Great Wall defense line is attacked by the Northern Barbarians, it is definitely difficult to block the Northern Barbarians by the Honghua Left-Backward and Zhuojun Left-Backward. If nothing unexpected happens, another Left-Backward in the Daijin area must be built, and it is also the largest Left-Backward in the Daijin area. Because the northern barbarians in the desert basically choose to launch attacks from the Yinshan line when they go south. Daibei has been the front battlefield of the North-South War since ancient times, so there are naturally the most troops on the front battlefield, and the highest commander of the army is of course the heaviest power.

From this reason, the King of Qi obviously focused on the future and used temporary "political exile" to win the opportunity to make achievements. Once the war between the North and the South broke out and Daibei became the main battlefield, the King of Qi could become the highest commander of the newly built left-behind palace and the supreme commander of the Northern Frontier Town Guards. Next, as long as he defended the Great Wall defense line, he could build a lot of military achievements, and he became famous from then on, and even famous in history. More importantly, he could use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to increase his strength to an incalculable height. Strength determines everything. The greater the strength, the closer he is to the imperial unit. Using war to enhance his strength and to win the imperial unit with his strength is the "dao" to win the world. If he wins with the "dao", he will be defeated, have a clear conscience, and even if he is an opponent, he will be convinced.

Yuwen Shu felt admiration. He did not admire the courage of King Qi, but the "expert" who gave advice to King Qi.

This strategy is upright and impeccable. Even the Holy Lord and the big guys at the central decision-making level cannot find a reason to object.

The King of Qi wants to go north to guard the border, fight against the Northern Barbarians, be loyal to the emperor and defend the country, sacrifice his life for justice, and be wrapped in a horse. Such great righteousness and faith, great wisdom and courage, how can the Holy Lord and the Central Committee object? What reason should we use to oppose it? Any reason the Holy Lord and the Central Committee object will make the King of Qi more "high", make his own image more "despicable", make the political situation more shocking, and make the situation worse; on the contrary, if the Holy Lord and the Central Committee firmly support the King of Qi to guard the border, they can obtain a series of political benefits, and even have unexpected joys, such as the Holy Lord and the Central Committee.

The Lord will be able to increase his authority greatly. In a critical moment, he will sacrifice his own son's life to defend his country and will surely win the hearts of the people and the army. The people's support is too important. In the face of the general trend, even the opponents have to temporarily avoid the edge. In this way, the Holy Lord can save the central authority to the greatest extent, stabilize the political situation, concentrate his efforts to deal with domestic and international crises, and may even delay the outbreak of the Civil War. This delay is crucial to the Holy Lord and the reformists. It can be said that it determines the life and death of the ruling person, the success or failure of the reform, and the fate of the country.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are facts. In order to make achievements, the King of Qi may deliberately intensify the conflict between the North and the South and accelerate the outbreak of the Civil War. This is terrible. What is even more terrifying is that in this battle between the North and the South, whether the King of Qi won, tied, or lost, it will bring different harms to Zhongtu.

If you win or draw, the King of Qi is all outstanding. Will the position of the crown prince be given to him? If you don’t give him, will the King of Qi launch a mutiny like the King of Han Yang Liang? Take a step back and say that even if the King of Qi has not launched a mutiny, he will not return to Beijing and will not seek death. He will inevitably dominate the northern border and openly compete with the central government. This hidden danger is great. It can be foreseeable that sooner or later, they will both turn against each other, and fight against each other.

Losing the war is a disaster in Middle Earth. Although the King of Qi was "defeated" or even "destroyed to ashes", the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will also suffer. After the defeats of the two Eastern Expeditions, they suffered another double blow in politics and military. The consequences are really unpredictable.

In this way, the pros and cons are difficult to weigh. Is it most beneficial to support the King of Qi to go north to guard the border, or is it most beneficial to use this storm to completely destroy the King of Qi in the shortest time?

Yuwen Shu racked his brains, exhausted his energy, repeatedly analyzed and deduced, trying to weigh the pros and cons, and give the King of Qi a clear answer. He had no time to delay, and the battle situation in Dongdu was very bad. Wei Wensheng was defeated, and Yang Xuangan was running to Guanzhong. He could not afford to delay at all. He had to give the King of Qi a promise immediately, otherwise he would anger the King of Qi and both sides would break up. As Yang Xuangan entered Guanzhong, the problem would be serious. By then, the King of Qi would not be the King of Qi, but the country would be in danger.
