Chapter 365: Candidates for the shogunate
"The governors who hold the festival and the generals who open the government are different from Sangong and Dr. Guanglu." In front of the bronze mirror, Concubine Pei said while arranging her messy hair.
“How can I do it differently?” Shao Xun was lying on the couch and felt that there was no cigarette in his hand, so he could only concentrate on admiring the beauty.
Concubine Pei sat facing him sideways, with the beautiful curves of her upper body exposed.
Below the waist, the skirt is pushed back and dragged on the carpet.
Maybe there was sweat on the body, and the middle of the skirt was slightly concave, as if it was absorbed.
“When the Governor of Chijie opened his mansion, he had more Sima and Zhonglang officers than Dr. Guanglu, and more soldiers than Jiabinggong’s Mansion.” Concubine Pei said.
"Then Sima Yue——" Shao Xun said.
Concubine Pei glanced at him.
"What happened to Situ Xian?" Shao Xun asked.
"When the Zong Wang appointed three dukes, he was often given the title of general, held multiple positions, and opened several offices." Concubine Pei said: "When discussing matters, not all the staff may come from the same shogunate. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the internal situation, which often leads to misunderstandings."
"If you open a shogunate in the name of General Pingdong, you can have a shogunate with one chief minister, one Sima, and two ministers. It is said to be two, but in fact there is no fixed number. There are many shogunate with five or six members. . The number of members in the army is also six, but most shogunates have less than six members, and a few shogunate have more than six members. It's up to you. "
"In addition, it depends on whether you want to set up a military department. It is also necessary to appoint a number of military counselors and wine drinkers. "
"The military chief, the chief historian, the Sima, and the chief minister must be reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for permission, and the imperial court will issue salaries. In fact, they will not be issued, but It’s true that I want to report.”
Shao Xun nodded.
He is the military chief of the Yanzhou shogunate, so he must report it to the court for approval by Zuopushe, the minister.
"The Military Secretary will not be here anymore. I will handle the military affairs personally." Shao Xun said: "Who is the best person for the long history, Sima, and Zhonglang?"
For the long history and the Zhonglang, who is the best? Lang means "chief official" and Sima means "chief general". They are both personnel management positions and are relatively important.
He was actually asking Concubine Pei if she had any manpower to arrange.
"You can make your own." Concubine Pei had already put on her jewelry, looked in the mirror, and said casually.
"Then choose from the old people of the palace." Shao Xun said: "Pei Kang will be the long history."
Concubine Pei rolled her eyes at him, as if to say that the word "Pei Kang" is also yours. Called.
Shao Xun laughed playfully, stood up and walked over, hugged Concubine Pei from behind, and said: "I have always been talented, and I am more than qualified to be a long history."
Concubine Pei stopped. He moved his hands, sighed, and said: "I can't marry you. If you let the Yue Mansion disperse, and I enter your house, although the reputation is not good, it will not be a big problem. Now the General's Mansion has been Stand firm, and the nine counties are united. If I enter your house, Yanzhou will be in chaos."
"Some people may pretend not to be able to see you secretly, but it won't work openly. , and it’s not good for your reputation.”
Shao Xun stopped kneading.
He knew that Concubine Pei was telling the truth. He has tens of thousands of troops and is so powerful in Henan that no one dares to look up to him, but even to this extent, he cannot do whatever he wants.
As Concubine Pei said, cheating is the limit. Until now, he didn't even dare to stay overnight at the General's Mansion, just to avoid suspicion.
"So you must have more power. Yanzhou accounts for half of your strength." Concubine Pei slapped Shao Xun's hand covering her chest and said, "How dare you provoke me?" Me."
"Nine years ago, I only had a few dozen soldiers, so I wanted to provoke you." Shao Xun sat aside angrily, feeling a little guilty.
"Who do you prefer, Shogun Sima?" Concubine Pei asked.
"I want to place Sima on both sides." Shao Xun said.
"General Pingdong just wants to have a commanding officer?" Concubine Pei said in surprise: "General Zhendong is not qualified, at least he must be the Great General Zhendong."
"How can this be possible? Are you so particular? There are many things that exceed the rules. "Shao Xun said: "Hua Nu, do you believe that if I report it accordingly, the court will definitely approve it."
Fei Pei looked at him helplessly. Asked: "Who is the left Sima?"
"If I take Chen Yougen as the left Sima and Yang Chen as the right Sima, what would Hua Nu think?"
Fei Pei was silent for a moment and said: "He is a sheep leader and has both civil and military skills. He has done a good job in Chen County, right?"
"Compared with him, Cui Gong and Cui Kuang will have to throw away." Shao Xun said.
He doesn't shy away from talking privately between "husband and wife" and tells the truth directly.
Yang Chen was responsible for the resettlement of refugees in Chen County, and his management was in an orderly manner, even better than Shao Xun imagined.
Now he has gone to Nanton County and Xincai to "guide the work."
Moreover, Yang Chen does have military strategy, his own martial arts is also very good, and he is also good at calligraphy - the aristocratic family has top-notch educational resources, and most people may not cherish it, just eat, drink and have fun, but there are also A few people made full use of these resources and studied hard, and Yang Chen was one of them, otherwise Sima Lun would not have arrested him to join the army.
The Shogun Sima is mainly responsible for personnel work in the military.
Chen Yougen is an old man. He solved his official status problem when he drove for the emperor. Now he has accumulated merits and is already a seventh-rank official. He has no problem being the shogunate's left commander.
To be honest, in terms of management, Yang Chen is much better than Chen Yougen, but Shao Xun didn't trust him enough, so he made him the right Sima to assist Chen Yougen in his work.
"Chen Yougen is brave and good at fighting, and he is your old man Yuancong. He is suitable to be Zuo Sima. The Yang Chief is not familiar with the place where he lives, so he may not be able to command those arrogant soldiers." Concubine Pei Said: "Very good." The Sima of the shogunate may also lead troops in battle.
Not only Sima, but also those who have a long history, are engaged in Zhonglang, join the army, are in charge, etc. may become the commander of the army. Because many positions in the shogunate were not necessarily awarded according to their ability, the phenomenon of "official occupation" was very serious.
The so-called "occupying official positions" means that there are no positions available for people who defect to the job. Wherever there are vacancies, they will be assigned first.
For people like Shao Xun to select people based on their job descriptions, it was only possible when the shogunate was founded.
"How about hiring two men first, Mao Bang and Liu An as the best ones?" Shao Xun asked again.
"You don't have to think about the Pei family in everything." Concubine Pei held Shao Xun's face and said, "Although I am the Pei family's daughter, I am already married."
Shao Xun nodded and said, "That's it."
Hearing the word "marry", he was secretly happy.
Concubine Pei asked him not to always think about benefiting the Pei family. The more he felt that he had to take care of her, and at the same time, he secretly thought that it would be great if their children were so sensible in the future.
The power of the Zhonglang depends entirely on the trust of the master of the shogunate.
If the Changshi is in charge of all large and small affairs in the palace except military affairs, the Zhonglang has the power to advise the Changshi.
Yes, there is no right to decide, only the right to make suggestions.
But if the Zhonglang was trusted by the Kaifu generals, Chang Shi would have to seriously consider their opinions.
"There are currently six members joining the army, Li Chong, Yu Liang, Yuan Yan, Xun Zhen, Jin Zheng, and Wang Que'er." Shao Xun said.
As far as the shogunate Shao Xun is concerned, the full name of joining the army is "Sen Pingdong General Military", which is actually the staff officer.
Everyone who joins the army is responsible for their own affairs. Some are responsible for intelligence, some are responsible for external relations, some are responsible for logistics, some are responsible for military production, and some are responsible for military planning...
Correspondingly Yes, they will interface with other departments of the shogunate according to their respective business scopes.
For example, those in charge of logistics deal with departments such as Cang Cao, Bing Cao, and Kai Cao.
But this is a normal situation. Nowadays, when the phenomenon of occupying official positions is very prominent, people who join the army often lead troops in battles, which is completely out of the scope of staff officers.
Shao Xun organized six major members of the army, each of whom was responsible for a part of the work, and it also had the meaning of united front.
There are generals here that he relies on very much, but does not trust absolutely.
I have a brother-in-law.
There are external governors and prefects.
There are powerful nobles.
There are silver spear army generals.
Concubine Pei asked about everyone's duties and learned that some were purely staff officers, while others had specific duties, she nodded and said: "I'm not very familiar with them. Lang Jun will decide on his own." "Yes."
Shao Xun then discussed with her the candidates for the positions of chief bookkeeper, secretary of the office, secretary of the Xidong Pavilion and other positions.
"Don't make a decision in a hurry." Concubine Pei said: "After the news spreads that you are going to marry Yu Wenjun, the Yuzhou scholars will visit you privately. You have to leave some positions for them. Win people's hearts. Besides, don't ask me about these things. It's more legitimate to discuss these things with Lu Zhi and Yu Zhi than with me."
"Hua Nu..." Shao Xun was a little surprised.
"I am a woman too!" Concubine Pei pinched him, got up, changed her clothes, and left.
Shao Xun reacted and sighed secretly. It turns out that no matter how generous, majestic and strong a woman is in front of people, there are times when her defenses are broken.
He slumped back on the bed again, tapping his fingers, and began to think.
Well, as he was tapping, he found something was wrong. His finger hit a dry lump.
Behind the hard mass, there are two obvious peach-shaped outlines.
So he moved his position and continued to think about how to unite the soldiers.
In his principle, more positions in the shogunate can be given to scholars, but more positions in local counties can be given to his students.
Most of the outstanding students had their names in Taixue. Appointing them as officials was barely justified and did not break the old rules. At most, they were taking advantage of loopholes in the rules.
These people have been rotated through the positions of county officials. The largest group is already in their twenties. Next, they can start from the county-level assistant officials (such as county magistrates) in Xiangcheng and Chenjun. After several years of experience, you can serve as county magistrate.
This group of them is lucky, because the powerful gentry in Xiangcheng and Chen County have been greatly weakened. Although complete equalization of land cannot be achieved, relative equalization can be achieved. In this way, the authority of the government will be greatly strengthened and management will be easier.
If you want to bargain with aristocratic families, you must have such a core ruling area.
Otherwise, he is just a leader.
Of course, at this stage, Shao Xun is a leader, the kind of leader whose rule is very unstable in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Everything has to be done slowly.
