Chapter 82 Ideas for reforming the official system (please recommend, please collect)
"Your Majesty, a letter from General Huangfu."

Cui Ming took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to His Majesty.

Zhang Ming picked up the letter and read it. It turned out that Huangfu Song had already known about his intention to establish a private army. At the same time, Taiwei Huang Wan had brought the remaining 12000 recruits in the new barracks to the east city gate, and all of them were assigned to Under his command, there are now 25000 soldiers at the East Gate.

In addition to the soldiers from the new barracks, Huangfu Song also borrowed another 10000 soldiers from the West City Gate. After all, the one under the greatest pressure now is undoubtedly the East City Gate, especially the Niufu Military Camp, which can be seen twenty miles away, with a huge crowd. This caused a lot of psychological pressure on the soldiers at the East City Gate. If Huangfu Song had not managed the army well, the soldiers guarding the East City Gate might not have wanted to surrender to the enemy long ago.

At the same time, Huangfu Song once again strengthened the defensive force on the city gate. The city wall was piled with large stones and gold juice that could be collected in the city. Everything was being prepared for the decisive battle four days later. Of course, he did not have time for the enemy's attack. He didn't tell any of his subordinates, he just trained the soldiers defending the city according to the normal rhythm.Moreover, Yang Ding, the former general of the city defense department, had been transferred to the North City Gate to defend the city by Huangfu Song. After all, Yang Ding had been with Dong Zhuo for a long time. Huangfu Song's cautious character forced him to make a more prudent move.Finally, there is another sentence: Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely be able to defend Chang'an City.

"General Huangfu did a good job." Zhang Ming put down the letter and said.

"Cui Ming, do you still remember the many things I asked you to learn before?" Zhang Ming continued.

"Your Majesty, do you really want me to be involved in these things?" Cui Ming was a little scared.

He thought of the fate of the Ten Permanent Attendants, but what His Majesty asked him to do might be even crazier than what he had done during the Ten Permanent Attendants' period. His Majesty actually wanted to reform the official system.

"Don't worry, I haven't asked you to participate yet. I just want you to remember these things first. One day in the future, if I am not in the palace, I hope Chang'an can operate as usual." Zhang Ming said

In Zhang Ming's eyes, he would rather believe in eunuchs than these ministers. Eunuchs are rootless people. They have dedicated their lives to the imperial court. Even after they take power, the imperial power still exists, and will continue to be so for generations to come. Under the evolution of each dynasty, eunuchs are more like dogs of the emperor. They seem to have great power, but they can be taken away from them. The most typical one is the factory guard system of the Ming Dynasty, which directly puts the power of eunuchs above all officials. Therefore, no matter how fatuous the emperor was during the Ming Dynasty, power was always in his hands.

Zhang Ming's first step in reforming the official system is still to improve the power of the eunuchs. However, due to the problem of the Shi Changshi's chaos in government, it is not as easy as imagined to improve the power of the eunuchs. However, he is not in a hurry now. After all, it is still possible. He had to rely on the aristocratic family to unify this divided country, so he just asked Cui Ming to start learning from now on, including the four books and five classics of the aristocratic family, as well as the bureaucracy and so on.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Cui Ming said.

Cui Ming is only around 30 this year. He has been in the palace for more than 20 years. He joined the palace since he was a child. He never had the opportunity to learn. In the palace, he could have relied on his own ability to climb up step by step, but he was offended later. The ten regular servants were reduced to little eunuchs again.

However, since the last time His Majesty told him about the reform of the official system, his palms were sweating while listening. In His Majesty's imagination, eunuchs were superior to all officials. This has never happened before, even for Shi Chang. Even when he was a servant, he couldn't do it. This was really a crazy move for him, but now that His Majesty has decided, he will actively cooperate.

So from this period of time, Cui Ming actively consulted the teachers in the palace. Although these teachers were biased at the beginning, they obediently started teaching at His Majesty's request.

From Zhang Ming's point of view, he was very satisfied with Cui Ming's performance. Although he just drew a cake for Cui Ming at first, this cake was really tempting.

"Cui Ming, accompany me to visit the new military camp in the afternoon. You also need to learn how to contact the army." According to Zhang Ming's plan, Cui Ming will be the direct controller of the imperial army in the future, but it is still too early. , now he doesn't even have enough control over the Forbidden Army, not to mention that he still needs to establish a pro-military system. These things will take time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Ming said. In his impression, even the Ten Permanent Attendants only had a cooperative relationship with the Forbidden Army, but in the future he could directly control the Forbidden Army. What a temptation this was, he really couldn't imagine it. .

Li Sufu

"Come here, change your clothes." Li Su said.

He was about to be sent as an envoy to the enemy in the west of the city. Compared with the last time he was sent as an envoy to Lu Bu, the pressure this time was bound to be greater. After all, Lu Bu was just a greedy and lustful person, and he and Lu Bu were still from the same hometown.

After everything was ready, Li Su rode his horse to the west gate of Chang'an alone.

I saw the current west gate of Chang'an. The gate was locked. Several guards were waiting under the city again, advising anyone who wanted to leave the city from here to go to the south gate instead.

Li Su took the waist badge and said to the guard: "Li Su, under your Majesty's order, is sent as an envoy to the enemy forces in the west of the city. I would like to ask to see General Lu."

"Wait a moment," the gate guard said.

After that, a guard went to the garrison camp at the west city gate. At this moment, General Lu was resting in the garrison camp. After all, the enemy troops outside the city had been silent for too long.

"General, a man named Li Su came to the city gate to discuss matters with the general," the guard said.

When Lu Bu heard that Li Su was coming, he quickly put down the map in his hand and walked out of the military camp.After walking for a while, he saw Li Su waiting at the city gate.

"Brother Weigong, where are you planning to go today? It's been a long time since you came to see me." Lu Bu said loudly.

"Fengxian, you are now the general of the imperial court, and I am still an advisor. How dare I go to your house." Li Su said.

"Brother Weigong, I don't like to hear what you are saying. How am I such a villain? If my brother hadn't promoted me and brought me out of Ding Prefect's tent, I wouldn't be where I am today." Lu Bu had almost forgotten. He didn't know how he left Governor Ding in the first place. Anyway, for him, killing his adoptive father was as common as eating.

Li Su looked at Lu Bu and didn't intend to continue joking.

"General, I came here this time in compliance with your Majesty's order to be an envoy to Li Meng and Wang Fangchu. It's enough to trouble General to lend me a few Xiliang cavalry. Li Su said."

Li Su had already thought about what he wanted to say on his mission, but in order to increase the deterrent effect, he personally recruited several members of Lu Bu's most elite troops. They represented Lu Bu's will and were also the biggest evidence of his mission. .

"Why?" Lu Bu asked somewhat puzzled.

"Li Meng, the king is stationed in the west of the city and has not sent out troops. They are afraid of the general's power. As long as the general is here, they dare not move. In the eyes of this group of rebels, the words of the court are not as useful as the general's elite soldiers, so since I want to When you go on a mission, you naturally want to get the support of the general." Li Su explained.
