The 70,000 troops set out to fight, and the secrets must be kept, which is very difficult to imagine.

Li Zhongyi handled government and military affairs as usual every day, while the army drove north while the night was in a row. From Kaifeng to Zhenzhou, where the army was gathering on the front line, the roads along the way had been under military control.

Among the major forces of this era, Li Zhongyi is the lord who likes to play martial law tricks the most, and his purpose is also very clear, greatly increasing the difficulty of sending news back to Jinyang or sending it to Youzhou.

In these days, the fastest and most convenient way to send messages from the official road, using the post station horses to deliver messages is the fastest and most convenient way to deliver messages.

The detailed writers lurking in the Great Zhou can also send messages north across mountains and rivers, but the timeliness will be greatly reduced. It is very likely that the news of the Great Zhou sending troops back to Jinyang, and the Li family army has already attacked the city.

Therefore, before sending troops, Li Zhongyi's favorite thing was to spread out the special slaughter. One controlled the official road, and the other was ambushed between the countryside, capturing the fine works heading north anytime and anywhere.

In fact, there is no need to carefully distinguish the authenticity of the work. They only need to be detained for a while. After the martial law order is lifted, it will be too late even if they continue to send messages north.

After the vanguard army had advanced more than 100 miles north, Li Zhongyi slowly summoned the three ministers from the cabinet and spoke out in public about the military operation to capture Jinyang.

Wei Renpu was stunned immediately. He didn't even hear any sound of the wind in such a big move. The confidentiality work was extremely rigorous.

Seeing that Wei Renpu and Kong Kun's eyes were all on him, Liu Jinshan couldn't help but smile bitterly. To put it bluntly, he had only heard a little news in advance, but the two husbands of Wei and Kong thought he had known about it for a long time but did not report it.

How to say it, under Li Zhongyi's command, the different paths of civil and military affairs are established. In other words, civil officials are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and similarly, the military is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is a political high-voltage line, whoever touches the pill.

The mobilization of food, weapons and supplies in the inner warehouse and the warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing was extremely frequent. At first, the civil officials were also speculating whether Li Zhongyi had any major military operations.

However, this review of the township military colonel lasted for half a year, and the civil officials gradually became accustomed to it.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhongyi made a plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang. He adopted strategic deception methods and made an attack on all sides. In fact, he wanted to recover Jinyang.

That's right, what Li Zhongyi did was a strategic deception. The army gathered in Kaifeng and practiced for half a year. What did he want to do?

At the beginning, Li Jing, the middle-level emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was so nervous that he was worried from the Spring Festival to the Cold Food Festival, and from the Cold Food Festival to the Summer Solstice.

However, the strong neighbors in the north remained silent and did not send troops to invade the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Now, after Li Zhongyi announced the answer to the mystery in the study room, everyone suddenly realized. It turns out that Li Zhongyi had been struggling for so long, and his goal was Jinyang.

"Master, you must not take risks easily." Kong Kun reacted very quickly. Since sending troops was a foregone conclusion, it would be useless to say more. It would be better to start with Li Zhongyi's safety, and it is possible to find a gap in civil officials' intervention in the military.

Even though the four ministers in the cabinet had very different positions, they all maintained a consistent attitude towards the issue of using civil service to build military affairs.

The various yamen established by the court, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have the potential driving force for self-expanding power, and are not subject to human will.

The Cabinet is no exception!

When the cabinet was first established, it was replaced by the Political Affairs Hall that controls the major politics of the world. However, the Political Affairs Hall governs politics with the left hand and manages money with the right hand, and the real power is amazing.

Today's cabinet cannot really manage money or interfere in military affairs, and it has also lost the personnel power of appointing and removing officials under the sixth rank. Compared with the political affairs halls in the past, their power and status are completely incomparable.

In fact, according to Li Zhongyi's idea, the role of the cabinet was roughly equivalent to that of the Military Affairs Office in later generations, and the government affairs hall that was overturned was similar to the Senate in the late Qing Dynasty.

The establishment of the Cabinet (Military Affairs Office) has not only strengthened centralization from the national system level, but also weakened the energy of civil servants or local officials to intervene in national affairs.

As for the different paths of civil and military affairs, civil officials are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and military officials are not allowed to pre-watch government affairs, which has enabled the control of the imperial power over violent institutions to obtain fundamental institutional guarantees.

From then on, the Wenchen Group could no longer take advantage of the system loopholes of using civil war to control military power and unscrupulously hostage the imperial power.

"How does the Yushan Gong record such a great achievement in history?" Li Zhongyi asked Kong Kun with a smile.

Kong Kunwan didn't expect that Li Zhongyi would use his merits to talk about the matter. He was speechless for a moment and actually choked.

In history books, if Wang Jian ranks second, who dares to rank first?

In addition to Wang Jian, there are Guo Ziyi, other famous generals, such as Bai Qi and Han Xin, who died of undestined life and would not have a good ending.

Li Zhongyi glanced at the three husbands present and said lightly: "You are all scholars. Although I am a rustic bun who doesn't know a few words, I also know one truth: when you have high achievements and are not rewarded, should you kill the donkey?"

Li Zhongyi's question made Wei Renpu, Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun present completely unable to argue, so they had to lower their eyes and remain silent.

"Although I am not a wise lord, I am not a weak lord. When there is no reward, wouldn't I deliberately harm the confidant officials who have followed me for many years?" Li Zhongyi sighed lightly, "So, my personal expedition is the way to protect the important officials. Tell me, is that right?"

Kong Kun is worthy of being a scholar with great knowledge and a lot of great talent. He reacted very quickly and immediately said, "The Lord is here to be the enemy. I don't know who can take on the important task of supervising the country?"

Wei Renpu also wanted to talk about the country's affairs, but Kong Kun stole it first. In addition to admiring Kong Yushan's urgent wisdom, he had to shake his head and sigh.

Liu Jinshan and Kong Kun have always been disagreement. He couldn't help but glance at Kong Kun and thought to himself, "It's worthy of being a Lao Jiang, and all the lords of the emperor are young, who can be the governor of the country?"

Li Zhongyi had expected this question to happen, so he said calmly: "There are three sons of the orphans, but they are all underage. It is a strange story in the world that children govern the country. If the four ministers of the cabinet agree on the same opinion, they can be the orphans on behalf of the orphans."

After hearing this, Kong Kun couldn't help but take a breath, then he was shocked and blurted out: "No, no, no, no! How can the power of a ruler be interfered with by his ministers?"

Instead of looking at Kong Kun, Li Zhongyi turned his attention to Wei Renpu. He is the prime minister. It is impossible for similar shocking events to have no clear attitude, right?

Wei Renpu sighed secretly, "It's easy to say that the four ministers of the cabinet have a lightweight opinion."

The Political Affairs Hall is also a general general, but when Fan Zhi became the prime minister, he truly achieved the following words and the law.

Although the cabinet is also a general general, the real power of the current four ministers is more than ten streets than the authority of the old Zhengshi Hall?

In Wei Renpu's opinion, the collective supervision of the four ministers is equivalent to putting the big responsibility of throwing the sky on their shoulders. If something really happens, who can withstand it?

Liu Jinshan was also secretly surprised. Li Zhongyi was simply not playing according to common sense. According to the basic principles of governing the country with laws and regulations, shouldn’t he choose the elders to supervise the country from among Li Zhongyi’s sects?

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to say anything, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, hehe, if the youngest son was still at the mercy of the old foxes in the cabinet, would he be at the mercy of the old foxes in the cabinet?

Instead of giving the cabinet's public room to shirk responsibility, it is better to simply push them all to the forefront, so that the three responsibilities of responsibilities, rights and responsibilities are consistent with each other, so as to make the best strategy.

To put it bluntly, as long as the power of the military and police is firmly in Li Zhongyi's hands, is it really important who will be the governor?

Could it be that after Li Zhongyi led his army to the war, did the husbands have the courage to change the various national policies he set without authorization?

Since nothing can be changed, it is better to let the husbands be proud and put a heavy burden on their shoulders, so as not to plan to increase the power of the prime minister and weaken the power of the monarch all day long.

Liu Jinshan could see that Li Zhongyi was a little dissatisfied with him recently and did not even give him any news in advance. However, who told him that Liu Jinshan was the prime minister? It was the duty of his husbands. It would be the same if he was the husbands who were the husbands!

After several lawsuits, the three cabinet ministers could not resist Li Zhongyi and had to reluctantly agree to the collective supervision of the country.

After surrendering the prime ministers of the cabinet, Li Zhongyi was excited to check the urgent military sent by the army in front. In a short while, there was a report outside the door, and Li Yanqing, the Minister of the Police and Temple, asked for a visit.

"Master, you are all ready." Li Yanqing didn't dare to say everything easily. This time, the unprecedented confidence made Li Zhongyi feel rare.

"Haha, tell me, why are you ready?" Li Zhongyi put down the military information report in his hand and looked up at Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing took out a stack of secret reports from his sleeve, and reported with an extremely clear word: "If you are Hui, our people are installed on the major transportation roads inside and outside the capital. Some people disguised themselves as small vendors, and some people are real blacksmiths..."

Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and heard Li Yanqing report, then he slowly asked him: "What if my chef took advantage of his opportunity to go out and went through several alleys and secretly met with the purchasing of a certain important official?"

Li Yanqing smiled coldly and said, "In such a large capital, the belongings of the Jingzheng Temple cannot monitor every family of the wealthy and powerful families. However, the villain is confident that at the beginning of the abnormal movement, he can pass the news into the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion..."

"Hehe, you are smart. You must have used a lot of brains and made countless tricks?" After hearing this, Li Zhongyi praised Li Yanqing for a few words without any trace.

Li Yanqing lowered his head and whispered: "The little one can grasp the bull's nose, mainly because you are too right. If the scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain it clearly."
