Wei Hongmin's voice became louder and louder. Although Wei Xuanzhen wanted to refute something, she had no idea what to say.

Wei Hongmin looked directly at Wei and said, "So, in my foolish opinion, the world is about to change. Please consider that the Wei family is the most important thing, and set up Fengxiang, Zhaowu, Zhaoxin, Zhaoyi, Ningsai, Ningguo, Ningyuan, Baoda, Baoyi... The governor's offices will give the flags and let them govern the whole area."

Wei took a deep breath.

This is equivalent to dividing the various tragedies in the world into dozens and then separating them. Once separating them, the big court will become a small court. Giving the badges is equivalent to giving up all the personnel, military and political affairs in the local area.

Although at this time, because the equal-field system in the early Tang Dynasty had already begun to decay, the powerful began to annex the land, and countless people lost their land. The government soldiers who had originally relied on the equal-field system to flee, and the government soldiers had lost their soil. Earlier, some people in the court proposed that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to the central government, and changed from the original militia to the recruiting system. However, now, Wei Hongmin's idea is more bold. He wanted to establish independent small kingdoms in the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Hongmin said: "This move is like the King of Chu who conferred the kings and divided the world into all countries, so that the states in the world become the private property of the governors. If the Wei family was willing to do this, then these governors would definitely be devoted to the Wei family, because Wu Zetian from Luoyang would never easily hand over the governors' power. Everything the governors today is given to the Wei family. If they want to maintain the private rights of these governors, they will inevitably hope that the power of Wei family can be consolidated, which is one of them."

Wei Hongmin paused: "Since all towns have become the private property of the governors, the money and grain of the governors are all produced in each town. If they want to train troops, they have to recruit rural warriors. Therefore, the population is crucial to them. If there are many people fleeing, if they go to Henan, how can they ignore them? Therefore, they will do their best to stop the fleeing households. For the governors, if all the money is earned by the merchants, how can they control it? Therefore, they will definitely try their best to control it and even curb the merchants. Empress, these people do not need the will of the court at all. Since the town has become their private property, they will naturally become Wei families, and naturally, they will try their best to prevent the erosion of the Wei family."

"Besides, the candidates for this governor can also be considered. Our Wei family has many outstanding people, and in all towns in the world. We can try our best to choose from the Wei family's children or the former officials of the Wei family. Although I am incompetent, I hope the Empress will be the long-term plan for the Wei family and order me to be the governor of Zhaoyi. The envoy to guard Zhaoyi and serve as the chief minister. I would rather resign, but the King of Wei, Wei Xuanzhen, was old and polite, could replace him."

“…”

Wei Xuanzhen, who was originally angry and wanted to accuse Wei Hongmin, was stunned for a moment.

Wei Hongmin actually resigned. The minister refused to do it, and went to become the governor of Zhaoyi...

In this way, he instead recommended himself as a minister.

At this moment, Wei Xuanzhen's face turned red. Wei Xuanzhen had been coveting the minister for a long time. She had been dissatisfied with Wei Hongmin, but now she seemed to get what she wanted.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wei Hongmin is a good method. He knew that he had begun to tolerate Wei. Wei had already complained about him. Even if Wei tried his best to protect him, sooner or later, this servant would not be able to keep him. It would be better to abdicate and give him a favor to Wei Xuanzhen.

And he himself...

Wei couldn't help but say, "What is Governor Zhaoyi...?"

Wei Hongmin said: "Henan Prefecture is a major concern, so the court must curb it. In my conception, the people in Hebei have always been strong, and they can set up four governors, one is Zhaoyi, the second is Zhenwu, the third is Shuofang, and the fourth is Tiande. Each of the four towns is Tiande, and each of the four towns is more than a hundred counties, and Zhaoyi Town is the most critical. It can be under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, Luozhou, Zezhou, Yezhou, Weizhou and other thirteen prefectures, and 107 counties along the river in Hebei. I am willing to be the governor and recruit troops on the spot, connect the three towns of Tiande, Shuofang, and Zhenwu, and confront the Tiance Prefecture of Qin Shaoyou. "

Luozhou, Luzhou, Weizhou and other places are equivalent to the back of Shanxi Province and Henan Province in later generations. It is already the southern part of Hebei Province. This is the most important economic and population town in Hebei. It has 117 counties and its jurisdiction is equivalent to three Henan prefectures.

Wei Hongmin obviously left a way out for himself. On the one hand, he resigned from the Shizhong, but he could use this to choose the richest land in the world to be the king of grass heads. On the other hand, he could also rely on the Wei family to curb Henan Prefecture. In Wei Hongmin's expectation, the governor who held the throne was actually the governor, who was almost killed and killed in the local area. He could use this to recruit military horses to fight against Qin Shaoyou, a confidant. On the other hand, military horses were recruited by themselves, personnel were appointed by themselves, and money and grain were also taken from the town by themselves. This was almost a better way to turn Zhaoyi Town into its own independent kingdom, which was better than becoming a Shizhong as a distant relative in the court, but being controlled everywhere.

Many of the Wei family's children were still indignant just now, but their attitude changed.

They suddenly realized something, this is the sharing of the spoils...

Whose world is now? It is true that he is from the surname Wei, but in name, he belongs to the Tang Dynasty and from the Li family. No matter how the Wei family struggles, he will eventually rule the world in the name of Li.

It is so difficult to usurp the throne. Didn’t Wu Zetian usurp? How much resistance did he encounter?

Who among the Wei family is not worried about one thing? That is what should we do after a hundred years? Could it be that everyone, like the people of the Wu family, finally shook their heads and tails, and counted on the upstarts to give themselves a sip of soup?

This franchise is the best. Wei Hongmin gave up the Shizhong and fought for a Zhaoyi Town for himself. So why can't he?

The value of the governor is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary governors. This is an official title that is above the governors of more than a dozen states. The most important thing is that his authority is almost as powerful as the vassal states in the Han Dynasty.

Wei Xuanzhen suddenly lost words, and he actually changed from strong opposition to default support.

Many Wei family members who were short of calling for a country to go abroad, such as Wei Anshi, were silent at this time. All the towns in the world always had the opportunity to do it. If this was not the case, would they be a prominent imperial court member here for the rest of their lives, but what about the future?

Wei seemed to have begun to shake, and Wei Hongmin gave a very good reason. This approach was to curb Wu Zetian and to curb Shence Mansion. Only in this way can the local governor become the most stubborn conservatives. These people will never allow the Shence Mansion to use various means to suck their blood. Relying on those officials, he will have to slap his butt and leave in just three or five years in office. After I die, there will be a flood here.

Once this is done, the governors of each town will naturally compete with the influence of the Shence Mansion for their own interests. This is obviously the best solution to curb Qin Shaoyou.

Taking a deep breath, Wei seemed to have seen their attitude from the eyes of the Wei family's children. Wei said, "Your Majesty is easy to persuade, but I am afraid that the ministers in the court will be dissatisfied."

Wei Hongmin said: "The equal-land system collapsed, the government was useless, and there were many refugees as an excuse. Some important officials naturally had to comfort and praise them well, and they had to give up some benefits. As for others, they didn't have to pay attention to it. As long as the raw rice was cooked, they could not do anything. There was really someone who could kill a warning to a hundred people. At that time, the prostitute in Wu killed so many people, and in the end no one dared to object to the usurpation of the throne. Now, what can they say?"

Wei narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid that Qin Shaoyou and the prostitute in the Wu family in Luoyang..."

Wei Hongmin said seriously: "I don't have to pay attention. On the one hand, the Empress's attitude must be firm. On the other hand, isn't Qin Shaoyou also the general manager of Henan? He can also entrust him to be the governor of Henan and also to be the honorary emperor. If he objected, he could also order him to come to Beijing to be the attendant."

How could Qin Shaoyou come to Chang'an to be a servant? This is obviously a threat.

As for Wu Zetian, she is the emperor and can control Henan Prefecture, but can she control other parts of the world?

Since she couldn't control it, she could only stare at her. As long as this matter was done, even if there was a huge opposition, it would be useless. Separation had been made, and those who benefited would try their best to maintain this system, and supporters would be more determined than opponents.

Once the governors arrived at each town and began to recruit their own private soldiers and build their own team, at that time, even if Wu Zetian replaced the son of the day, there would be nothing he could do.

Wei was moved, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on her father Wei Xuanzhen, and said, "What do you think the King of Wei?"

Wei Xuanzhen just smiled and said, "You can give it a try."

He did not show his overly firm support, but his attitude was self-evident. His Highness, the King of Wei, had been coveting the position of Shizhong for too long, and he had three sons, so he had a great chance to become the governor of a town.

This is beneficial to the entire Wei family without any harm.

Just like a head office, the boss is not the Wei family, and the Wei family is just an acting chairman. No one knows when the Wei family will be sent out. Since this is the case, it is better to separate all the subsidiaries and let their relatives and confidants serve as the bosses of each subsidiary. This is called laying eggs by borrowing chickens. The chickens belong to the Li family, but the eggs belong to the Wei family. Instead of fighting to the death for the ownership of this chicken, it is better to take away all the eggs directly.

Wei's eyes sank, as if he had made up his mind: "Since that's the case, then you might as well give it a try, it's always good to give it a try."
