    At noon, Huang Mingyuan naturally left food in the palace.  This is not the first time that Huang Mingyuan has been given food by Yang Guang. The relationship between the two goes beyond that of a monarch and a minister, like father and son. Huang Mingyuan is not afraid of Yang Guang like Yang Zhao and Yang Jian, so Yang Guang loves to give food to him.  Huang Mingyuan.

    When the two of them ate, Huang Mingyuan mostly ate while Yang Guang watched.

    Huang Mingyuan ate as usual. He ate when he needed to eat and drank when he needed to. He was not shy.  Moreover, Huang Mingyuan was often in front of Yang Guang and knew Yang Guang's likes and dislikes, so he would not be rude.

    Yang Guang, the boss, asked people to add food to Huang Mingyuan from time to time, but Huang Mingyuan was not afraid of anyone who came.  As they were eating, towards the end, Yang Guang wiped his mouth, put down his towel, and suddenly asked casually: "Mingyuan, what do you think of the current general management system?"

    Huang Mingyuan, who was eating at this time, almost choked. He suppressed his surprise and suppressed his cough. Huang Mingyuan hurriedly picked up the cup to suppress his panic.

    Huang Mingyuan had long felt that Yang Guang wanted to abolish the general control, but he did not expect it to be so early.  However, this time Yang Liang's rebellion was an opportunity. If Yang Liang had not served as the general manager of Bingzhou, holding both civil and military positions and wielding power, he would not have had the strength to launch a rebellion of this scale.  In comparison, there were actually four super managers in the entire Sui Dynasty.

    At this time, when we talk about the general manager, we are not talking about the head eunuchs or the chief servants later. The general manager was actually the military name of the governors of the states in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. It started in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Sui Dynasty.  General manager, as the name suggests, overall management.  At this time, the general manager added envoys to manage the military and civil affairs in the jurisdiction.  The area under its jurisdiction can increase or decrease at any time. Generally, it governs several states, and in many cases it can reach dozens of states.  Because the number of prefectures under the jurisdiction of the general manager is different, it is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower levels of general manager. Among them, the upper general manager is regarded as the second rank, the middle general manager is regarded as the third rank, and the lower general manager is regarded as the third rank.  Except for the four superior general offices of Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and Jingzhou, the status of the other dozens of general offices is almost equivalent to that of a general or general.

    These general offices are spread all over the country. The Great Sui Dynasty is known as the Thirty-Six General Administrators. Although in fact, due to their abolition, there are not that many existing at the same time at the same time, but it can also be seen that their number is prosperous.  These generals held both civil and military positions. They were in charge of the army and in charge of the people. They were almost replicas of the warlords of the Tang Dynasty, and they were on par with Jiedushi.  In fact, had it not been for the extremely strong central control power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty, and the short life span of the dynasty, the imagination of warlord separatism would have long appeared.

    Why Huang Mingyuan has so much power in Fengzhou, and can even do whatever he wants, except because it is a border state with more open folk customs than Zhongyuan County, with greater external pressure and fewer constraints.  Another reason is that the general manager has the power to kill people according to law. He is both a local official and an imperial envoy. He has the right to kill subordinate officials without reporting to the court. He has no one to fear except the emperor.

    The existence of these general managers seriously affects the centralization of power of the central government.

    Huang Mingyuan understood that Yang Guang was testing his attitude of always controlling those with vested interests.  Except for a small number of relatives of the emperor and loyal civilian officials, more than 90% of those who serve as general managers are military generals like Huang Mingyuan.  At the same time, the Guanlong family also relied on the upper-level General Manager's Mansion and the middle- and lower-level Husband and Horse Mansion to spread its tentacles to all parts of the country.

    Huang Mingyuan immediately understood that Yang Guang was asking him not only his views on the general management system, but also his attitude.  For Huang Mingyuan now, the emperor's attitude is his own attitude.  If the general manager system is abolished, although it will affect some of his arrangements in Fengzhou, abolishing these general managers can ensure that warlord separatism will not occur in the future, and the subsequent unification of the Tang Dynasty will have so little resistance.

    Huang Mingyuan immediately knelt on the ground, bowed to the ground, and said to Yang Guang: "Even if the saint did not ask Mingyuan about his attitude towards the general management system, Mingyuan still wanted to give advice to the emperor. The general management system has actually been harmful to the current Sui Dynasty.  It outweighed the benefits and reached the point where it had to be abolished.¡±

    Yang Guang was stunned, but he didn't expect Huang Mingyuan to directly mention abolition.

    However, Yang Guang still stepped forward to help Huang Mingyuan, and said with a smile: "Mingyuan does not need to be so restrained, this is just a discussion between you and me."

    Huang Mingyuan said: "The general management system is actually a system that the central government had to set up in order to maintain control over the border areas since the Eastern Han Dynasty when the heroes were separatist and the countries were annexed. In the wartime stage, all the territorial powers can be effectively used  resources to facilitate fighting against the enemy; after the war, it could concentrate its efforts to stabilize the local situation and appease the people. This system played a huge role in the early days of the Sui Dynasty.

    But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The huge power of the general manager also threatens the authority of the central government.  During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Governor of Xiangzhou, Yu Chijiong, together with the Governor of Qingzhou, Yu Chiqin, the Governor of Yunzhou, Sima Xiaonan, the Governor of Yizhou, Wang Qian, and others raised an army to rebel. The whole world was shocked and the momentum was so great that Chang'an was almost destroyed  In fact, if Yu Yi, the governor of Youzhou, Yuan Xiong, the governor of Xuzhou, He Ruoyi, the governor of Haozhou, and Douluji, the governor of Lizhou, were not loyal to the court, the outcome would have been uncertain at that time.  But this time when the king of Han rebelled, one person rebelled and all of Hebei rebelled. This was a great harm to the general management system.

    The general manager commanded the soldiers and horses of the various states and held military power; he also served as the governor and held civil rights; he recruited bureaucrats and handled financial power. He could be said to be the master of a place.  Isn't it a terrible thing that the imperial court does not restrain the rebellion of a place and relies entirely on the loyalty of its ministers?  "

    The more Huang Mingyuan talked, the more excited he became, as if he was irreconcilable with this system.  Of course, Huang Mingyuan was just expressing his own attitude. What he said was just as exaggerated and pretentious as possible, and did not directly go into the fundamental issues of the general management system.

    It¡¯s not that Huang Mingyuan doesn¡¯t want to elaborate on this issue, but that Yang Guang wants to abolish this system, and Huang Mingyuan¡¯s words are useless.  In fact, in history, Yang Guang just pacified Jinyang in February of the first year of Daye, while Jinzhou and Jiangzhou were not pacified until July of the same year. Under this situation, Yang Guang still defied everyone's opinion and in March of the first year of Daye  The general management system was abolished.

    Sure enough, Yang Guang couldn't help but nod after hearing this. Huang Mingyuan seemed to have spoken to Yang Guang's heart.  In fact, this system mainly touches the interests of the Guanlong nobles. As long as most civil servants do not object and Huang Mingyuan, the leader of the military, also takes the lead in supporting it, Yang Guang will be determined to abolish the general manager system.

    In Huang Mingyuan¡¯s view, it is useless, but there must be remedial measures so that after the general management system is abolished, local chaos will not occur.  If Yang Guang is done with it as it was in history, wouldn't it be a random act?

    At this time, Yang Guang smiled brightly and said with a smile: "The vision of Ming Yuan, Lao Cheng's plan for the country, coincides with mine. We really should let those old ministers see what it means to serve the country and the people? What means to take on important tasks?  Such insights make them ashamed."
