Chapter 1451 It’s decided
National-level emergency and disaster relief involves all aspects and is very wide-ranging. Nowadays, it is unprecedented for the country to mobilize the army to rescue disaster areas. It is really difficult to figure out a clue and come up with feasible strategies from a blank slate. .
Not to mention such a short time...
Even if you do it reluctantly, it will be full of loopholes. Not only will it be useless, but you will have to bear responsibility if there are major mistakes.
His Majesty Li Er naturally knew the key, but the disaster was like a fire. As an emperor, of course he was extremely anxious. If Fang Jun could not come up with this charter, he would not be blamed for neglecting his duties, but he would inevitably be disappointed.
Now that he is carefully reading the charter in his hand, His Majesty Li Er is filled with emotions.
Raising materials, dispatching personnel, dividing responsibilities, organizing and verifying disaster situations, managing distribution and supervising the use of relief materials, organizing and coordinating emergency relocation and resettlement of victims, and even organizing subsidies for the restoration and reconstruction of damaged houses after disasters and living assistance for victims... There are all kinds of things, and nothing is missing. .
In the end, he even persuaded the imperial court to mobilize public opinion to cooperate with disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, spread the program of "when one party is in trouble, support from all directions" throughout the world, and called on all states and counties in the world to lend a helping hand to the disaster area, so as to enhance the cohesion of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty... …
Attached to this is the round, beautiful and pleasing calligraphy, which makes His Majesty Li Er very happy.
Talent...
It is not an exaggeration for me to praise him as a "talented prime minister".
The political hall was silent, with only the sound of rain outside the windows. Everyone looked attentively at His Majesty Li Er, who was flipping through the book.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er raised his head.
He originally wanted to show this charter to all the prime ministers and discuss whether there were any issues in it, but after looking around for a week, he gave up the idea. Several prime ministers have always praised or disparaged Fang Jun due to their different stances. Their comments are inevitably subjective. Wei Zheng, the most upright and selfless one, is now at home. The others may be unfair. .
If it were normal, it would not be a concern. Only when there is a stand can there be disputes, and when there is dispute, there can be balance. The civil and military ministers are happy and you are good and I am good. That will make the emperor restless at night... But not today.
The disaster is like a fire. As an emperor, how can he sit back and watch the flood that is about to ravage and the people are hanging upside down, but instead play with balance in the court?
At this time, there is no need to weigh or restraint, only to act resolutely and neatly!
Pressing the booklet on the desk in front of him with his big hand, His Majesty Li Er looked around and said solemnly: "The charter of Fang Shilang is comprehensive and detailed, and I deeply appreciate it. The rescue of Jingyang disaster will be implemented in accordance with this charter. The yamen and the army involved must obey orders without any conditions. If anyone makes a mistake and causes a disaster, I will only ask him!"
The ministers were greatly surprised. Although His Majesty is wise and powerful, he is not a dictatorial person. He has always been able to listen to advice. When encountering problems, he will discuss it with his ministers, open up his opinions and learn from everyone's strengths.
This rescue was carried out in the name of the imperial court. Not only the officials in the imperial court, but also the private businessmen and people were eagerly waiting for it. The whole world paid enough attention to this unprecedented event. There was really no chance of anything going wrong. No.
However, now he actually trusts Fang Jun so much that the charter he worked out within three or two days was approved...
The expressions of all the prime ministers and assistants were different, Fang Xuanling still lowered his eyebrows as if he was not involved, Cen Wenwen remained silent, only Changsun Wuji was depressed...Does your Majesty want to embarrass me?
After pondering for a while, Changsun Wuji asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, it is clear that disaster relief involves many people, and the matters involved are complicated and complicated. I am not questioning the ability of the Minister of Fang, but what he has brought out in just a few days. The articles of association will inevitably have many flaws, and if this leads to serious consequences..."
"Then it's my responsibility!"
His Majesty Li Er was impatient and looked at Changsun Wuji coldly.
Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a chill in his heart...
Liu Jie, who had been invisible all this time, figured out the general trend here and hurriedly said: "Fire and water are merciless. Now the Jinghe River is about to burst its banks, and I don't know how many people are about to suffer disaster. There is no perfect way in the world, let alone the country. Deploying the army to participate in the rescue is an unprecedented matter. Just pay careful attention to it and encounter difficulties. Think more about it, anyway, if you just sit back and watch the floods fall from the sky, life will be ruined. Now that the court is organizing disaster relief, the worst thing is to ignore it. What are the serious consequences? But Zhao Guogong is still lingering here, delaying the implementation of disaster relief. It’s really…something wrong.”
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his face turned red!
These words are so vicious. If spread among the people, I will definitely be called a "treacherous minister who brings harm to the country". He obstructs the implementation of disaster relief in the face of natural disasters. This crime may even dig up the graves of his ancestors...
< br>
However, he couldn't argue with Liu Ji, not to mention that this guy was just getting along with his mouth. If he argued with him, wouldn't he be convicted of arguing endlessly and delaying the implementation of disaster relief? It would just fall into his trap.
He has always been called a "yin man", but who would have thought that today, without warning, he would be tricked by Liu Jie... He felt extremely depressed.
Changsun Wuji didn't speak out, so the others naturally had no reason to object.
Continuing to question not only offends Fang and his son, but also offends His Majesty. Why bother?
Once the big things are finalized, the next step is the specific implementation details.
Fang Jun stood up, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, since you have decided to implement the regulations of Weichen, please decide which army to send to the disaster area."
This is top priority!
Imperial power and military power have always been two in one. No emperor would let military power escape from his hands, let alone an emperor like His Majesty Li Er who rushed out of the blood and fire?
But Fang Jun has already considered all this for His Majesty Li Er, and it is written clearly on the booklet, that is... drawing lots!
The names of the Sixteenth Guards were written on slips of paper, and then placed in a box for the emperor to draw lots himself. Whichever unit he caught would be that unit, and all the generals of the Sixteenth Guards were not present. Which troop rushes to the disaster area is random, not even the emperor himself can decide, which minimizes any unpredictable consequences that may arise.
His Majesty Li Er was deeply satisfied with this method, and he also saw a deeper advantage of this method - because it was random, anyone could be drawn, which resulted in no one in the Sixteenth Guards dared to treat them lightly and casually. , Lack of practice.
As the central army guarding Wu Gyeonggi, it is impossible for all the Sixteenth Guards to go to the frontiers to fight, especially in the era when the national borders were relatively peaceful. This led to a lack of discipline in the army, a weakened armament, and a rapid decline in combat capabilities.
And Fang Jun’s method is absolutely brilliant!
No one knows when the natural disaster will come back, and no one knows which army will be responsible for disaster relief. This is like having a sharp sword hanging above the head. Whoever is selected to become a disaster relief force will have a lack of training due to lack of military discipline. As a result, he made a fool of himself... Then His Majesty Li Er will definitely hold that sword and chop it down hard!
After the note was written, His Majesty Li Er personally put it in a book box brought by the scribe.
Of course it can't be sixteen, only twelve...
This has to talk about the military system of the Tang Dynasty.
In the early Sui Dynasty, following the system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Twelve Prefectures were set up to command the Imperial Guards. This was the predecessor of the Sixteenth Guards. Among the twelve prefectures in the early Sui Dynasty, there were only six prefectures, the left and right guards, the left and right Wuwei, and the left and right Wuhou.
In the third year of Emperor Yang's reign, the Twelve Prefectures were added to the Twelve Guards and Four Prefectures, collectively known as the Sixteen Guards Prefectures.
Among them, the twelve guards are: left and right Yi guards, left and right Xiao guards, left and right Wu guards, left and right Tun guards, left and right waiting guards and left and right imperial guards; the four mansions are: left and right Preparation Palace and left and right Prison Gate Palace.
The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty system. The Twelve Guards commanded the palace soldiers, guarded the capital, and guarded Guanzhong. The four palaces did not control the palace soldiers. The left and right Bishen Palaces were responsible for guarding the emperor, and the left and right Prison Gate Palaces were in charge of palace access control.
In addition, the left and right Yiwei also led the "internal army". The "inner army" refers to the five military mansions under the control of the three guards of Qin, Xun, and Wu under the left and right Yiwei, and the soldiers of the three guards and three mansions under the East Palace. They are all served by the children of high-ranking officials, and they are the direct line of the direct line.
"Zhechong Prefecture" was also set up across the country. The "Twelve Guards" led 657 Zhechong Prefectures in the world, and led all the military mansions to Chang'an. The guards were stationed in the middle and outside, guarding the capital. They were the government soldiers and the imperial army. of unity.
Because the Sixteenth Guards Office was located in the south of the palace, it was known as the "Nan Yafu Soldiers" in history. They were intertwined with the "Beiya Forbidden Army" composed of recruited soldiers who guarded the north gate of the palace to restrain each other.
This was the military system of the Tang Dynasty. It seemed complicated, but in fact it was distinct.
Therefore, only the Twelve Guards went out during the war. At this time, only these Twelve Guards could be selected to participate in disaster relief... (End of Chapter)
