261 , Superintendent Yan Lide

Jing Wen returned to Pinglu County with more than 2,000 people and told everyone good news. As a result, the entire Pinglu County was in full swing, and they were obviously happy that Jing Wen was able to obtain the position of the commander. The soldiers who were selected into the Avenge Army were relieved because Jing Wen was one of the only people they could trust in the Tang Dynasty. As for the emperor, the distance was too far, which made them feel a little distance. Jing Wen was able to be by their side, so they hoped that Jing Wen could serve as their commander. Now that they got what they wanted, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief. And they didn't care about this Jiedushi being just a temporary official position. As long as they knew that Jing Wen was their head, that would be fine.

"The imperial edict is here!" A eunuch came.

"I listen to the Hadith!" Jing Wen said immediately.

"Jing Wen, the Minister of Rites, is good at fighting... He is specially appointed as the governor of the Avengers Army! I'm so proud!"

Jing Wen heard this edict, which was the edict to appoint Jing Wen as the governor. Jing Wen was not surprised because Li Shimin had announced that he would add an edict.

"I accept the order!" Jing Wen said.

"Father-in-law, this is..." Jing Wen was about to give some money.

"Wait, there is still!" said the father-in-law.

Then, my father-in-law took out an imperial edict again and read it out.

"The palace province Shangyi is dedicated to the imperial destiny of Yan Lide, and is loyal to the country... specially appointed as the military supervisor of the avenge army! I admire this!"

When Jing Wen heard this imperial edict, he felt that one million grass mud passed by. The second imperial edict was very obvious, that was, to send a military supervisor to Jing Wen. The so-called military supervisor, Jing Wen knew who it was. In Jing Wen's eyes, he was just a guy who was fucking and not doing human affairs. Many military supervisors on TV were all a group of bastards. There were many military supervisors who relied on the emperor to supervise the generals and constantly constrained the military generals, so that they not only had to face the frontal enemies, but also the supervisor.

The army was constrained by the army. These military supervisors were all guys who had failed enough success and had more than defeat. Many battles were due to the military supervisors and failed. However, the emperor still enjoyed sending military supervisors, which was obviously to supervise the generals on the front line and avoid them having the idea of ​​rebellion. The emperor sometimes sent civil servants to supervise the army, sometimes sent eunuchs to supervise the army, and sometimes sent censors to supervise the army. This time, Jing Wen happened to know that the military supervisor was a eunuch, that is, Jing Wen's colleagues.

The previous position of this military supervisor was Shangyi Fengyu of the Palace, which was the leader of the Shangyi Bureau of the Palace. Jing Wen's position in the Palace was a food doctor. So strictly speaking, they were all colleagues. Now they actually sent an eunuch as the military supervisor, which made Jing Wen constantly complain. Shouldn't the emperor be employed without doubting people? Since he appointed himself as the military governor, he should trust himself, but now he sent a military supervisor, which made Jing Wen feel very uncomfortable. Just imagine, which master would have a good impression of the person who came to supervise him?

"My minister Yan Lide received the order!" said the military supervisor Yan Lide.

Jing Wen saw Yan Lide, about thirty years old, and full of books. He didn't look like an arrogant and domineering person. Jing Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This guy shouldn't be that difficult to serve.

"Okay, two, our family has finished reading it. Our family will leave. The emperor said, I hope you can cooperate well, unite with sincerity, and be loyal to me, the eunuch!" said the eunuch.

The eunuch left quickly. The scene was a bit unlucky. Jing Wen didn't know what to say to the military supervisor, and Yan Lide, the military supervisor, didn't know how to find the topic for a while, because since ancient times, the generals and military supervisors have been rivals!

"Brother Yan, hello!" Jing Wen bowed and said.

"Brother Jingwen, we have all worked in the palace, so please don't mind. This is what the emperor means, and it is also what our ministers win and avoid suspicion. This is not because the emperor does not trust you, but because your nature is too special, with a total of 40,000 people. And I am the ministers who come to serve as the military supervisor, not the emperor's intention. Moreover, as ministers, we must be more careful so that we can avoid criticism from others!" Yan Lide said.

But Jing Wen complained: "Then why are the other sixteen guards not supervising the army?"

"That's because your situation is special. Although the other twelve guards control the soldiers of the world, the general of the guards cannot directly command the soldiers, but they are just remotely commanded. However, the three powers of the Tang Dynasty's military power are separated, and the power of the military is divided into the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War cannot directly command the troops. The power of the military command is handed over to the local Zhechong Mansion, and the commander of the local Zhechong Mansion cannot send troops without authorization. As for the command power during combat, it is when the battle breaks out, the emperor temporarily grants a general a tiger talisman, and then he can transfer troops to command. Once the battle is over, the tiger talisman will be returned. Last time, Jing Wen, didn't you also get the tiger talisman, and will you return it after you come back?" Yan Lide asked.

After hearing Yan Lide's words, Jing Wen finally knew why other troops did not need to supervise the army. Because the military power of the Tang Dynasty was separated by three powers, no one could directly have absolute military power. This was the emperor's defense against his ministers. In this way, the separation of military power could prevent the concentration of military power, resulting in the generals' self-respecting force, and later the vassal states were divided. Later, the Jiedushi, because he had long had the power to command, the power to dispatch military power, and the command power, the result was the privatization of the army.

Jing Wen's current situation is different from other troops. Jing Wen has the right to directly govern the soldiers. Because the more than 40,000 people under Jing Wen are all real soldiers, and they are all concentrated together and can be handed over to Jing Wen for command at any time. In this case, if the emperor does not send a military supervisor, can he sleep peacefully? Moreover, the soldiers here are less than twenty miles away from Chang'an City. If something really goes wrong, the emperor will be in trouble. Therefore, for safety, Li Shimin will inevitably send a military supervisor. This is not a question of trust or not, but a matter of setting rules. Jing Wen is now "holding 40,000 troops", so he must send a military supervisor. If such people do not have military supervisors, then the civil and military officials will definitely complain. At that time, it will definitely cause the emperor's suspicion. Therefore, the emperor sends a military supervisor to avoid the suspicion of the emperor and civil and military officials. This is how you and I, everyone.

"Supervisor, then supervise it!" Jing Wen complained in his heart. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
