Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1153

In the city of Chang'an, rumors about Changsun Dan's experience in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion have long been rumored.

Some people think that Fang Jun has done too much, killing people without nodding their heads, which makes people suffer such humiliation, violates the duty of a gentleman, and is morally corrupt.

Some people think it's so good, the eldest grandson Dan already wants to beat Fang Jun to death, this is already a deadly enmity, what kind of gentleman's morals should we pay attention to with an enemy?Naturally, how to solve the hatred!Not only did these people not feel that Fang Jun had done too much, but they felt that Fang Jun was kind enough to restrain himself from letting his grandson Dan die suddenly in the prison.

Don't say anything about shame or shame, it's better to live than to die...

The public opinion was raging, with mixed reviews.

Naturally, no one paid any attention to why in this case, the victim was exiled into the army and dispatched, but the attacker was rewarded as "be brave and a moral model"...

When Jingzhao Mansion was on duty, Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, and Qu Tuquan, who had just returned to Beijing to report on his work, came to visit Fang Jun together.

Fang Jun was lying on the kang, listening to Qu Tuquan vividly telling the rumors about the humiliation of the eldest grandson Dan in the market.

Li Siwen and Cheng Chubi are both in Jingzhao Mansion, the closest to the place where the incident happened, so they still don't know about it until now.At this moment, hearing Qu Tuquan's ecstatic narration, the two gasped in unison, subconsciously flinched, and stared at Fang Jun in amazement.

It's so ruthless...

What a dirty and despicable person this must be to come up with such a sinister idea?

Anyway, Cheng Chubi and Li Siwen have the same idea. Rather than being insulted like this, it would be better for you to give me a knife...

In the future, you have to stay away from this stick. This guy doesn't care about it, he just wants to feel refreshed, who can bear it?

"After returning to Beijing to report on work this time, what are the arrangements?" Fang Jun asked Qu Tuquan.

Although Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong was a northern barbarian attached to Xianbei Murong, his status in the Zhenguan Dynasty was extremely high.

On May [-]th of the first year of Wude, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an and established the Tang Dynasty as Tang Gaozu.

In the process from the Taiyuan uprising to the unification of the country, Li Shimin has repeatedly made great achievements and has a high prestige. He has formed a powerful political group centered on the counselors and brave generals of the Qin Palace, and Qu Tutong is one of them. serious threat.

In order to preserve the crown prince's status and the right to inherit the throne, Li Jian made friends with Qi Wang Li Yuanji and jointly opposed Li Shimin.Li Shimin learned that Li Jiancheng wanted to kill Li Yuanji during his farewell, so he discussed with civil servants and generals and decided to strike first.

In the early morning of June [-]th in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin led Qu Tutong, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yu Wenshiji, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui and others to mobilize The Xuanwumen coup d'état, and Prince Li Jiancheng was ambushed and killed.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Li Yuan made Li Shimin the crown prince.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin, who was the crown prince but had already placed Li Yuan under house arrest, was worried about the turmoil in Luoyang, so he sent Qu Tutong to Luoyang to guard Luoyang as a school inspector.

This shows Li Shimin's trust and attention to Qu Tutong.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Qu Tutong died of illness.His Majesty Li Er regretted it for a long time, and bestowed the posthumous title of "Loyalty" on She, the right servant of Shangshu.Qu Tutong had two sons, namely Qu Tushou and Qu Tuquan, and the eldest son Qu Tushou came to the throne.

When winter last year, His Majesty Li Er occasionally remembered Qu Tutong's loyalty. After feeling that he had treated his loyal ministers badly, he worshiped Qu Tuquan as the captain of Guoyi, and gave him food and cloth as a token of compensation, and was transferred back to Chang'an to serve.

Qu Tuquan replied: "Your Majesty, the sixteen guards or Yuan Cong are randomly selected from the imperial army. I just want to come to ask Erlang, do you have any suggestions?"

Fang Jun frowned slightly.

It's not a good choice...

The imperial guards in the Sui Dynasty had twelve guards, namely: the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right guards, the left and right waiting guards, and the left and right imperial guards.Tang inherited the Sui system and followed the twelve guards of the Sui Dynasty, but slightly changed the names of a few of them, and added four guards, left and right Qianniu guards, and left and right guards, called the Nanya Sixteen Guards.

In addition, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu used [-] soldiers from Taiyuan Conglong as the guards of the palace city, called the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, also known as the Father and Son Army.Because it is stationed in the north of the imperial city, it is also called Beiya.

Later, His Majesty Li Er set up camps around Xuanwu Gate, known as "Flying Riders", and selected a hundred of them who were strong and good at shooting as "Hundred Riders"...

In the Tang Dynasty, Nanya was the general name of the central government office. It was located in the south of the palace city and was called Nanya or Nansi. The eunuchs lived in the north and were called Beiya or Beisi. Forbidden soldiers such as Habayashi's pro-army belonged to the Beiya.

Sometimes the northern and southern yamen soldiers will also switch and hold official positions with each other.

Ordinarily, the choice between Nan Ya or Bei Ya is not difficult...

Throughout the early Tang Dynasty, the decline and disintegration of the Fubing system was synchronized with the development and growth of the Beiya Forbidden Army.During the development of the imperial army, the imperial guards were continuously absorbed, so that the confluence of the imperial guards was realized in terms of personnel and positions.The emergence of the Northern Yamen Imperial Army was the Tang Dynasty’s response to the change in the nature of the Fubing system and the decline in the intimacy of the Fubing. Its development was a process of gradually getting rid of the influence of the Southern Yamen and evolving into an inner court.

This is a relatively mature system that greatly improves centralization.

And this is determined by the political situation at this time, and it cannot be changed by a single person.

The suppression of the Guanlong Group and the decline of the aristocratic families are all factors that promote this process.

However, the mature system is also pregnant with its opposite, and political ills such as eunuchs serving in the army and soldiers being arrogant and generals have been deeply buried in it.It is a historical paradox that the measures taken by the emperor in order to free himself from the power of his ministers ultimately led to the emperor being subject to domestic slaves...

Of course, there has never been a perfect system in the world. No matter how good the system is, if it is implemented by a group of extravagant and corrupt people, it will inevitably end in the collapse of the building and the collapse of the empire.

"Let's go to Beiya."

Fang Jun said.

In any case, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Beiya stood firmly at the center of power.This time was the beginning of the prosperity of the Beiya, and if they could gain a firm foothold in it and make some contributions, generations of Qu Tu's family could rest on this credit book.

In addition, in this era when the law is extremely imperfect and the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, power is both axiomatic.The military power in the hands of a few good brothers is extremely secure. Even if they don't spy on anything, they can still take the initiative in a sudden situation.

Therefore, he said to Li Siwen: "You also go back and write a letter to the British Duke, mentioning the matter of entering the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, and see what the British Duke thinks. If you don't expect something, Your Majesty will definitely The Yuan Cong Army will be expanded wantonly, and the left and right barracks stationed at Xuanwu Gate will inevitably be reorganized. After all, the sixteen guards of the imperial court are now controlled by the aristocratic family, and only by improving the status and strength of the Yuan Cong Army can we be safe."

To put it bluntly, now His Majesty Li Er no longer trusts the sixteen guards who are children of various powerful families who hold important positions.He had to expand Yuan Cong's forbidden army aggressively and increase the strength of Beiya in order to sit back and relax.

Otherwise, one day the sixteen guards would mutiny and rebel and set up a new emperor after sleeping until midnight...

Cheng Chubi has been operated by his father to the left back, father and son are in the same camp, and the future is boundless.

Li Siwen nodded.

For Fang Jun's suggestion, all the brothers are convinced.There's no way, he used to be a dude who didn't do business, but suddenly Fang Jun seemed to be enlightened, his ability was getting better and better, his official position was getting higher day by day, leaving all the old brothers far behind.

I can't accept it...

A few people were talking, when there were footsteps outside the door, Cheng Wuting pushed the door open and walked in, looking at Fang Jun, hesitant to speak.

Fang Jun waved his hand: "Here are all brothers in life and death of a certain person, there is no distinction between each other, there is no need to avoid anything, just talk about it."

Cheng Wuting then said: "Changsun Dan... is dead."

Fang Jun looked calm: "Well done."

Cheng Chubi and Li Siwen were taken aback immediately, and looked at Fang Jun in amazement, saying that you have made the eldest grandson Dan such a disaster, and you still plan to let him go?

Cheng Wu looked strange, and said, "The problem is...it's not a humble job."

Only then did Fang Jun show surprise.
