Chapter 1288: Forming a Cabinet


Xiangyang.

Zhang Chao's old house.

It is rare for Pingyang to step into this mansion again, and after experiencing this life and death, Cui Yingying seems to be much less hostile to her. not only allowed Pingyang to step into her forbidden land, but even let Qingluan also come to the door as a guest.

Eleven Lang Zhang Cong is still not very close to Pingyang, Pingyang tries to maintain a smiling face and takes out many prepared gifts for him, but his reaction is very flat.

He believed and accepted Pingyang as his mother, but he still only recognized Thirteen Niang as his mother in his heart.

"Alright, let's go to the book."

Zhang Chao looked at the appearance of the two of them, and reluctantly let Zhang Cong retreat.

"Take your time, meet him more when you have time in the future, participate in his life more, and he will slowly be able to accept you."

"Is Thirteen Niang willing?"

"She's a sensible person, especially after this experience, her mood has changed a lot."

Pingyang is still a little lonely, these years, in fact, she regretted sending her child to Zhang's family.

"When I heard the news of the murder of Shisanlang, I was heartbroken.

I can't even imagine what I would do if it was Eleven Lang. ” At the beginning, when she heard that the brothers Ling Wu and Zhewei were poisoned by the emperor, she also collapsed for a while.

Qingluan is quite comfortable.

Sitting there, acting like a guest.

She and Zhang Chao also have two children, a daughter and a son.

Now her daughter is also slim, but this time she didn't bring her children.

According to the customs of women's countries, children and mothers, and the father of children actually have no responsibility and obligation relationship with children.

They will tell their children who their father is, but that's about it.

In their tradition, it is a matriarchal society, where women are in charge of the house, uncles live in the family, and men and women marry and do not live together.

Zhang Chao didn't ask her to keep the child in Datang, and Qingluan was satisfied.

"Thirteen Niang" Qingluan asked as she drank her tea.

"She still has some things, she just returned to Xiangyang, and she has to take care of it inside and out."

Zhang Chao said with a smile, in fact, although Cui Yingying generously let these two women enter the door, she was still a little unnatural in her heart, and she was unwilling to sit with them, behaving like her best friend for many years.

Qingluan put down the teacup, "The war here is over, and I plan to go back too." ” "I'm not in a hurry at this time, going to Hanjing to live for a while will also be good for you and Subi."

Qingluan looked at Zhang Chao, "You definitely won't support us in annexing Qinghai?"

Zhang Chao shook his head, "Qinghai has already become a direct subordinate to Datang, this is an impossible fact.

However, this time you can also be regarded as a great contribution to the stability of Datang, and Datang will support you to send troops to Tibet.

As long as you pay, the court will provide you with all kinds of ordnance and armor. ” Zhang Chao took a sip of ginger tea.

"But there are some things you have to know in your heart, Subi is the protector of the Tang Dynasty, and you are protected by the Tang Dynasty.

The internal affairs of Suvi can be managed by yourself, but you do not have the right to foreign diplomacy and the right to declare war, and only the Tang Dynasty has the right to make military decisions. ” Compared with the relationship between the suzerains and vassals in the past, it can be said that the suzerain's control over the vassals has been further strengthened.

For example, Subi can now have a queen, and can also be in charge of internal affairs by himself, and even have his own army, but.

But they had to enforce the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even the tax laws.

At the same time, Subi can have an army, but the army must be organized according to the Tang Dynasty and be subordinate to the army sequence of the Tang Dynasty.

Once the Tang Dynasty was in need, the Subian army had to obey the call-up.

And if Subi wants to use troops abroad, he must first get the approval of Datang.

Even if Subi wants to interact with other countries other than Datang, he must obtain the consent of Datang.

Queen Subi must also be canonized by the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that such a protectorate cannot be called a country, they have no sovereignty and are a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.

But compared to Zhang Chao's sub-feudal collar, the power is greater.

At the very least, there is still a certain degree of autonomy in the administrative, tax, and military aspects.

The protectorate also did not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and paid an annual tribute.

Datang can also build cities, build roads, and even set up customs and garrisons in the protection collar.

Although Qingluan is Zhang Chao's woman, Zhang Chao will not betray the interests of Datang.

Subi can only be a protectorate and a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, and will never give him the opportunity to become an independent and sovereign state.

Qingluan wanted to annex Tubo, and Zhang Chao supported it, but these had to be under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

For Datang, in fact, he also hopes to lay down Tubo as soon as possible, so that there will be one more road to credibility.

And strategically speaking, the Tang Dynasty will not allow the Tang Dynasty to be independent on the plateau between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions and Xindu, as well as the Tubo people, which is too dangerous.

"All of these are fine, but I have a request."

Qingluan Road.

"You say."

"First of all, the price of the ordnance and equipment sold to us by the imperial court cannot be too outrageous, the ones sold to us in the past are too expensive, although I don't ask to enjoy the same price of equipment as the Tang Army, but it has to be about the same.

Furthermore, I hope that the imperial court will allow us to send officers to the military academy in Hanjing for further study. ” "That's fine, and we're willing to send some military instructors over to help you train your soldiers."

Zhang Chao said with a smile.

Qingluan knew what Zhang Chao had in mind, but he didn't object.

This time when he came to the Central Plains, Qingluan also found that in fact, Datang's strength was still strong and had not been affected much.

One Han top five hu, it's really not blown, Subi can gain a foothold on the plateau, and it all depends on the support of the Tang Dynasty.

If you really want to get rid of Datang, it is estimated that Xia Chao will be the same as Tuyuhun.

"How does Wen Yuan plan to place Murong Fuyun?"

asked Qingluan.

"I will give him a choice, one, to become a vassal of the imperial court.

The imperial court can crown him as a prince of the kingdom and let him bring some loyal tribes to the West Sea Territory to establish a fief and become a feudal domain of the imperial court.

Of course, he can also choose to stay in Qinghai, but in the future, he will only be a citizen of Datang. ” "Wen Yuan, if Murong Fuyun is willing to go to my Subi, can the imperial court accept it?"

"To Subi" "Since you want to fight Tibet, you must have more soldiers and horses, the better.

Murong Fuyun came to my Qinghai, and I could give him a fief. ” Zhang Chao smiled, "It's okay, this one is chosen by himself, and the court will not interfere." ” Anyway, now Murong Fuyun can't make any waves, and he has made meritorious contributions this time.

Qingluan's matter was discussed, and everyone continued to drink tea.

Pingyang said to Zhang Chao with some concern, "I have to remind you, you have to be on guard against Chengqian." ” "Oh" "Today's reward for Cheng Qian's in the palace is too sudden.

If it's just to crown you as King Zhao of Anguo, it's nothing.

But this Tiance Admiral is undoubtedly holding back the bad.

I feel that this kid is actually not as innocent as before, and today he suddenly threw out this doubtful reward, and I suspect that he was actually instigated by others. ” Zhang Chao is very grateful to Pingyang for being so open and honest with him, in fact, there are many things, how can Zhang Chao himself not understand.

When he was still in Jiangnan, Cheng Qian's many performances had already been seen by him.

Cheng Qian is big, and he is not willing to be at the mercy of others.

In the past, even the emperor couldn't control Cheng Qian, and Cheng Qian would not let Zhang Chao control it Now that the emperor is under house arrest and is about to abdicate, Cheng Qian has become the prince of the prison country again, and he is even about to become the emperor.

The real first person in the world.

I'm afraid that Cheng Qian has long wanted to do a big job, and even can't wait to get rid of all kinds of constraints.

There is a good saying, you can share weal and woe, not wealth and prosperity, in fact, to put it bluntly, power cannot be shared.

Whether it was instigated by someone, or Cheng Qian himself wanted to stand out from Zhang Chao's shadow, this is very normal.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful.

The prince can't do without me yet, and I will grasp the scale. ” "What are your plans to support Chengqian in the future, and then stay in the capital and continue to be the prime minister," Li Xiuning asked.

"Until the situation is clear and clear, until the world is stable and the power of the court is rebalanced, I will definitely not be able to leave.

Getting to this point is full of hardships, and I can't give up halfway. ” Pingyang smiled, "Is it still the implementation of the new policy, in fact, you are now retreating bravely, it is estimated that everyone is willing to see the result." ” "If I retreat bravely now, then why should I be so tormented in the first place, if I had retreated bravely a few years ago, it's not that nothing is gone," he sighed, "People have no foresight, but there must be near-term worries."

I'm going to retreat now, I'm afraid I'll be strangled together."

This time, under Zhang Chao's strong refusal and the persuasion of Pingyang and others, Cheng Qian finally withdrew his will to crown General Zhang Chao Tiance.

But he still stubbornly refused to take back the title of King Zhao of Zhang Chao'anguo.

"I find out now that Cheng Qian is becoming more and more like Erlang, to be honest, I really don't want you and Cheng Qian to be the same as the emperor is now in the future."

In the change of Xuanwumen back then, Zhang Chao was the first hero and the mastermind.

At that time, the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Chao was very good.

"I'll be careful."

Zhang Chaodao.

In the afternoon, Ma Zhou came to visit.

"Lao Ma, we are estimated to face a lot of pressure when we enter Beijing this time."

Zhang Chao smiled and said to Ma Zhou, who was also crowned king, but no matter what, there is one thing we must insist on, and we must form a cabinet headed by us.

We must change the current status quo of the three central chambers of Hankyung and change it to our cabinet system. ” "I have carefully considered that the cabinet should be made up of nine people, with a prime minister and a deputy minister, and then seven auxiliary ministers."

"Do you have a cabinet list?"

asked Ma Zhou.

"Old Ma, I plan not to let you enter the cabinet this time."

Zhang Chaodao.

Ma Zhou didn't seem surprised.

"Wenyuan wants me to go to Hanlin Academy" Zhang Chao nodded.

"Under our cabinet system, the cabinet is decision-making and implementation, and the six sections of the upper house of parliament have the right to refute.

But at the same time, the Hanlin Yuan was not under the leadership of the cabinet, and the Hanlin Yuan was the emperor's secretary and assistant.

It can be said that although he approved the red on behalf of the emperor, he can be used as the emperor's assistant and adviser, but he has great power.

I hope that you will be appointed as the Undertaker of the Hallym Academy, and that you will be in charge of the Hallym Academy. ” Ma Zhou smiled, "This arrangement is also very good, you are the prime minister in the cabinet, and I am the dean of Hanlin." ” "Hahaha, it's good if you can understand, everything is for Datang" "For the sake of Datang," Ma Zhou nodded. t1706231537:
