Chapter 593: Xihai Jiedushi

  Chapter 593 Xihai Jiedushi

  Wei Zheng suddenly became jealous of Qin Lang.

  The memorial was passed among the prime ministers, and Hou Junji was the last to read it.

  He was suspended by the emperor for more than a month from working in the Political Affairs Hall. He was called here today, thinking that his status was going to be restored, but who knew that he was asked to come and see this terrible news.

  Seeing him, his heart was tumbling, and he was very uncomfortable.

  He wanted to stand up and say that this was a fake, but he suffered a few secret losses under Qin Lang's hands, so he didn't dare to speak easily this time.

  Changsun Wuji spoke first.

"Tuyuhun Kedun, the former Guanghua Princess Yang's family has entered Chang'an, and there are generals who have returned from the battlefield, as well as Qin Lang's handwritten victory report, as well as the investigation and verification of Li Jing and Wang Gui, it is enough to prove that the Longyou Army It is true that we just fought a big victory, no, it was two big victories, I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty!"

   "Da Tang Wan Sheng!"

In fact, before Changsun Wuji came, he also received a letter from his family, which was sent by Changsun Chong, and it was sent back with the victory report. The letter wrote in detail his experience of going out with Qin Lang this time. How he fought, how the battle of Mantou Mountain sealed the victory, and he led the Qingqi to chase for three days, and finally captured Gaoning King Yifu Abao alive, so Qin Lang was directly promoted by Qin Lang to the left army of the South Route Army , the post of deputy general manager of the Ma Jun of Youyuhou Army, and the captain of the forward cavalry battalion.

   also obtained a jumping skill.

  Changsun Wuji read the letter yesterday, but was so excited that he stayed up all night. He called the family uncles, brothers, nephews and nephews to have a family feast to celebrate, and had a good drink.

  The emperor's eldest brother-in-law took the lead in flattering, and the emperor's brother-in-law Yang Shidao followed without showing weakness.

"It all depends on His Majesty's strategizing. If His Majesty hadn't fully supported Qin Lang's Longyou army at the beginning, if His Majesty hadn't authorized him to send all the brave generals into Longyou, and let the states cooperate with money and food, how could the Longyou army win today? "

"That's right!" Even Hou Junji didn't fall behind at this time, so he hurried out to flatter him a few times. The credit for the front line, the main credits, belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, and even the chancellors of the court, Qin Lang. , How can there be any great merit.

  He messed around in Longyou, which was already very overstepping and violating the rules. It is already good that the court did not hold him accountable. Now two victories have been fought, and that is also because of the full support of the emperor's court.

   "It's all about His Majesty's proper planning, and his use of troops like a god." Hou Junji flattered him very blatantly, "It's Your Majesty who really fought this battle, and Qin Lang is just the general who leads the army."

   "The minister congratulates His Majesty, the party is attached to the party, and now Tuyuhun is about to fall. The Tang Dynasty has finally survived the most difficult years. Now it is extremely peaceful, and the four barbarians are in awe. Congratulations from all directions."

  Li Shimin stroked his short beard, and couldn't help being excited.

  Yes, yes, no. When he first came to the throne, Jieli rode 300,000 horses straight into Guanzhong, drank horses from the Wei River, and marched to the city of Chang'an, forcing him to sign an alliance under the city.

  Now, he sent Ta Jing to lead the six-way army to sweep across the Great Wall, capture Xieli alive, and destroy the Eastern Turks. Qin Qiong also swept Hequ for him and surrendered the party's ministries, making more than 300,000 party members to become ministers.

   Now, Qin Lang led the Longyou Army to attack Tuyuhun again, and won two battles, defeated more than 200,000 of its troops, and captured hundreds of thousands of livestock.

   As long as we continue to work hard, it will not be a problem to wipe out Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.

   Everyone loves to hear flattery, and the emperor is no exception.

While being photographed with ups and downs, Li Shimin did not forget that it was Qin Lang who was really fighting this battle. Before the battle, even he was not really optimistic about Qin Lang's plan to send troops, thinking that it would be difficult to succeed with only soldiers from Longyou Yes, at most it is just beating and beating Xia Tuyuhun.

   Unexpectedly, this kid had a better record than the previous two battles in Longyou.

  Qin Lang led the Longyou Army's westward expedition with the two official positions of deputy commander of the Xikaidao March and Xuanfu Envoy of Longyou Road, and Qin Qiong was the official commander of the Xikaidao March.

However, after the last battle of Longyou, Qin Qiong returned to Songzhou. The whole court was clamoring to cancel the camp in the West Sea, which meant that the battle of Longyou would be given a successful name, and at the same time, the military power in Qin Lang's hands would be taken away. .

  The emperor deliberately delayed before, but now Qin Lang won a big victory that surprised him.

   At this time, the emperor no longer had to hesitate and doubt, he said decisively to the prime ministers in the palace, "Give Qin Lang double banners and double festivals, and act as the governor of the West Sea."

  As soon as these words came out, the hall was surprised.

The Dudu of the Tang Dynasty originated from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Dudu was the local governor who also commanded the army and horses in the border areas. , is a false title.

  But today the emperor said that Qin Lang was awarded double banners and double festivals, which is very special.

  Jing Jie originated from the Western Han Dynasty, referred to as Jie, made of hair, and the upper and lower parts are heavy, like bamboo joints. The festival holders are imperial envoys with great power.

  The imperial court commanded generals to take integrity as a letter and command the army, and it was also used for other missions, such as disaster relief, propaganda, and envoys.

  After the Central Plains of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the unrest in the local area and the frequent rise of the military, the emperor ordered the generals who supervised the armies in the local area to increase their festivals in order to increase the control of the central government.

  During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were three levels of festivals, envoys, Chijies, and false festivals. Envoys had the greatest power. Different levels of festivals, the same official position, resulted in different powers.

  The governors of the Tang Dynasty are divided into the Great Governor and the Central Governor and the Lower Governor. The Great Governor is only awarded to the princes, and the actual governor is usually managed by Chang Shi.

  The governors at all levels basically have to add an envoy, which is completely a false title.

   But double Jing and double festival, never before.

  This means that the false title of envoy has been given new functions by the emperor.

   On top of the ordinary envoys and bearers, there is a double banner and double festival, which undoubtedly has more authority.

  In the Tang Dynasty, Chijie was awarded to the governor of the capital, and Chijie to the governor, but generally they are no longer called Chijie and Chijie.

   "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of granting double banners and double festivals? This Jiedu envoy is also a new envoy that has never existed before. What powers does it have?" Fang Xuanling asked her own doubts.

Li Shimin said, "In the system of Jing Jie, if you order the generals and send envoys to the four directions, please wear them. The Jing is for rewards, and the festival is for killing. Double banners and double festivals are given the right to license the system and worship. "

  As soon as the words "concession, conferment and conferment" came out, the prime ministers were shocked again.

   This is a very powerful real power. Generally, it is a privilege granted to the commander-in-chief at the beginning of the founding of the country. According to the imperial court system, in the name of the emperor and the imperial court, people can be awarded officials and titles.

   When the country was fighting for the world at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was also convenient to give the privilege of being the commander in chief.

  When Li Jing pacified Lingnan and Li Shimin conquered the Central Plains, the emperor gave this power.

  Now the emperor gives Qin Lang double banners and double festivals, which is to highlight his privilege of inheriting and worshiping. Not only that, Jing is for special rewards, and Shuangjing is the right to inherit and worship the franchise, while Jie is for special killing, and given to Shuangjie, it is the right to kill first and then play, and the right to dispose of the franchise.

  In short, although Qin Lang was away, although he didn't openly open the palace for him, he could directly confer rewards on officials to his officers and men, and even confer titles on the enemy's surrendered generals, etc. without inviting the court. In addition, everyone below Qin Lang can cut first and play later.

  Because of these privileges, the emperor gave Qin Lang a new envoy, Jiedushi.

Jiedushi added the word Xihai before it, which actually delineated the scope of powers. He marched and fought in the original Tuyuhun territory. Qin Lang, the deputy chief of the West Sea Road, actually exercised the power of the chief on behalf of Qin Qiong, and also had more than the normal chief. that power.

  Inheritance system worship seal, cut first and play later.

This kind of Jiedushi is obviously more important than the existing envoys such as Xuanfushi, Jinglueshi, and Fuxingshi. For the land of Tuyuhun, which is still at war, the authority of the Xihai Jiedushi is It can provide Qin Lang with a lot of convenience, and he doesn't have to ask the court for everything.

Before Qin Lang was in Longyou, he borrowed the titles of Deputy Chief of Xihai Road Marching, Longyou Xuanfu Envoy, Governor of Diezhou, Chief of Taohe Road Marching, and many other official titles such as Tong Zhongshumenxia Pingzhangshi, etc. Only when the power is added together can we have the current situation of reorganizing the Longyou Ninth Army and raising food and grass to send troops.

   Now that the emperor saw that the situation was good, he simply gave Qin Lang full power.

The establishment of the Xikaidao Jiedu Envoy is only an envoy. Obviously, it can be established if there is something to do, and it can be dismissed if there is nothing to do. On the other hand, it also shows that the emperor wanted to fight Tuyuhun this time. The idea of ​​Qinghai Road being directly ruled by the imperial court is the same as Yang Guang's plan to destroy Tuyuhun and then establish Xihai County and other four counties.

  Emperor's thinking is naturally very long-term.

  Before Qin Lang was doing trouble in Longyou, the emperor pressed him because he liked his ability to do things, but he was worried that this matter would not be sure, and he was afraid that if the tone was too high and he failed, the consequences would be difficult to deal with.

Now that Qin Lang has really tossed, the emperor simply stopped suppressing it, and instead granted him higher authority to let Qin Lang let go of the tossing. The harder the tossing, the better. It is best to directly toss Tuyuhun away. , The old thief Fu Yun was also captured alive.

  Whether it is Chai Shao or Duan Zhixuan and other generals, now they have to obey Qin Lang's military orders, even Murong Shun and other surrendered officials are the same. Whoever dares to challenge Qin Lang's authority is destroying this hard-won opportunity.

   Therefore, the emperor specially gave Qin Lang these double banners and double festivals. Whoever dares to provoke can be cut first and played later. As for the Tuyuhun people who belonged to them like Murong Shun, they could also be awarded officials and nobles directly based on their merits.

  In addition, for the Longyou soldiers who marched westward, they can also inherit the title of worship to boost the morale of the soldiers.

   To put it bluntly, everything is to cooperate with the frontline operations and to destroy Tuyuhun.

  Opportunity is rare, opportunity cannot be missed, time never comes again, this time Qin Lang fought so well, the court wanted him to fight without any worries, and he must not be held back by any delay, and such a good opportunity must not be missed.

  Hou Junji finally understands what Jiedushi is, and what is Double Jing and Double Festival.

  This Sanshui scoundrel was overwhelmed with jealousy.
