Chapter 1435 Court Discussion
In fact, His Majesty Li Er does not pay much attention to ostentation, but he attaches great importance to reputation. He will spare no effort to do anything that can make his virtuous name spread to the present generation and be famous to future generations, and everything that damages his reputation as a virtuous king will be stopped with all his strength. .
He wants to become the emperor of the ages and prove to the people of the world that he will not lose to anyone as emperor, so he must do his best to restrain his desires in order to clean up his past actions...
The reputation of killing brothers and brothers cannot be washed away by all the water of the Yellow River. He can only offset all negative images by existing in the world as an honest, thrifty, and wise monarch. He firmly believed that as long as he could feed and clothe the people in the world, make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and beautiful, and make the Han family famous and intimidating to the world, then people would forget all his flaws and would only treat him with contempt. Praise for his achievements.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er is very concerned about some details. Liangyi Palace is the largest palace in the inner court and is naturally magnificent and spacious. However, His Majesty Li Er feels that the main hall of Nuo Da is too big and the monarch and ministers are far apart in the palace. This is very uncomfortable. It is conducive to the concept of "the monarch and his ministers get along well with each other, starting well and ending well" that he has always advocated.
It’s not a great court meeting, so why should the emperor sit on the throne and the civil and military officials should be arranged on the left and right?
His Majesty Li Er has strong confidence in himself, and even more confidence in the group of ministers who follow him to fight against the world and seize the throne. He is convinced that his prestige has already exceeded the point where he needs any red tape to emphasize and exaggerate. It's better to be casual and friendly.
Therefore, the court meeting was not held in the main hall of the Liangyi Hall, but in a side hall on one side. The floor was covered with a thick Persian carpet, and a row of carved lacquered short ones were lined up. It looked more like a banquet than a banquet. A court meeting to discuss national affairs...
*****
When Jin Wang Li Zhi entered the side hall, almost all the ministers attending the court meeting had arrived.
Facing the probing and slightly dissatisfied look of His Majesty Li Er on the throne, Li Zhi felt guilty for a while and reluctantly smiled: "I attended the court meeting today, so I had a hard time sleeping last night. I didn't go to bed until dawn, so I got up a little late. …”
His Majesty Li Er raised his sword eyebrows, relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "The mood is understandable, but it is a bit excessive to let many important officials of the country wait for you alone. You must not do it again in the future."
On one side, Cen Wenwen was wearing a purple robe and looked majestic. At this moment, he said jokingly: "Why do you need to criticize your Majesty? Your Highness, King Jin, performed much better than the old minister today. I think back then, the old minister attended the court meeting for the first time, but he didn't stop for two consecutive nights. My eyes were full of black circles when I arrived at the court meeting. I didn’t even know what was being discussed. I just wanted to hide in the end and squint my eyes to make a fool of myself, haha.”
The ministers all chuckled when they heard what he said was interesting.
The atmosphere in the palace was very casual and harmonious, and Li Zhi gradually let go of his worries. He secretly thought in his heart that he should never show prostitution in the morning when he went to court in the future. It was really ridiculous.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and smiled, waving to him: "Hurry up and take a seat."
Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and responded quickly: "Here!"
When a chamberlain came forward to arrange a seat for him behind the Crown Prince and King Wu, Li Zhi quickly stepped forward and sat down.
With a quick glance, he could roughly see the situation in the palace.
It is still the rule of civil servants and military officials, but the seats of several princes are placed on the civil servants' side, behind Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Cen Wenwen, and behind them are the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries, but Fang Fang Xuanling still reported illness at home and never went to court.
After looking around, I saw Fang Jun, the left minister of the Ministry of War, sitting on the outermost side near the door on behalf of the Ministry of War. This man had his head slightly lowered and his eyelids were drooped. He didn't know whether he was being serious or serious. Take a nap...
His Majesty Li Er's words interrupted Li Zhi's thoughts, and he only heard His Majesty Li Er say: "Okay, everyone is here. If you need anything, please tell me quickly."
Prince Li Chengqian coughed slightly and said: "The proposal for a 'Disaster Emergency Rescue Center' proposed by the Chamberlain a few days ago has not been concluded. Why not discuss it here today to see if it can be implemented?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at the prince thoughtfully, then looked at Fang Jun who was silent and said nothing.
The generals such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong who participated in the court meeting were all in high spirits. Their previous languid and listless appearance was gone, and their eyes were as wide as light bulbs.
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "The humble minister thinks it is impossible, can't the prince see the loopholes in it? Soldiers are the most dangerous weapon of the country. The officers and soldiers of the guards take turns to guard the capital to ensure the safety and stability of Guanzhong. How can they be mobilized at will as soon as there is a disaster? Soldiers are the most dangerous weapon of the country. Transferring is an extremely dangerous thing. Once someone takes advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous.”
The Sixteen Guards were stationed in the capital, each with their own camps. They could assist each other and restrain each other. It can be said that one move can affect the whole body.
Not to mention the Gyeonggi garrison, even the local army cannot be mobilized at will. Otherwise, who knows whether this army will go to disaster relief or be rebelled?
The prince was calm and composed. Although he was stabbed by Changsun Wuji in a moderate way, he had no intention of defending at all.
Naturally, someone will stand up for him...
Cen Wenwen said: "It has been clearly stated in Fang Shilang's memorial that the Prince's Sixth Guards and the Left and Right Camps guarding Xuanwu Gate do not need to be mobilized. It is not that all the sixteen guards have accepted the transfers, and the left and right military guards, left and right guards Xunwei must ensure that there are three guards guarding the capital, why should Duke Zhao worry about it? "
The largest number among the sixteen guards is the left and right garrison, and the most elite are the left and right military guards and the left and right xunwei. While the left and right garrison guards the Xuanwu Gate, there are three of the remaining four guards guarding the capital. Even if it is serious Any general who wants to rebel will have to suffer a bloody blow and be wiped out in front of the impregnable Gyeonggi garrison.
Moreover, even if the army is mobilized to provide disaster relief, it is only one guard at a time. What kind of waves can it create?
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a move to mobilize troops to disaster areas at will. It can be seen that the danger involved is too great. Cen Zhongshu blindly agrees with this proposal. If anything goes wrong in the future, the consequences will be huge. Is it your responsibility?”
Cen Wenwen burst into laughter: "Mr. Zhao's words are serious. Since it is a bill, it will naturally have to be passed by all the ministers and then approved by His Majesty before it can be implemented. The bill was passed by everyone, so why do I have to bear the consequences of it all? ? There is no such thing as this.”
But he sneered in his heart.
Although "Changsun Yinren" is scheming and cunning, his Cen Wenwen is not free! Want to dig a hole for him?
Save it...
Changsun Wuji looked ugly and said coldly: "I don't agree with this move. The consequences are too serious. Your Majesty, please think again."
His Majesty Li Er remained silent and did not comment.
Cheng Yaojin shouted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I agree with this move! Now all the surrounding barbarians have surrendered. Except for one or two foreseeable battles, it can almost be said that the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse and the horses are released in Nanshan! If things continue like this , Guanzhong Erlang only went to the military camp to click Mao and respond to the scene in the last chapter, and had never experienced the battle. Once If a foreign enemy invades, should we let those little boys go to the battlefield and fight to the death for the country? This time, Fang Shilang's proposal was very good, and he could take the opportunity to pull the guards out for some training. Although the effect would be far different from that in actual combat, it would still be a good idea. It’s better than nothing, you can’t just keep these hundreds of thousands of men like pigs and dogs, right?”
Yuchi Gong also echoed from the side.
Naturally, some people on Changsun Wuji's side also stood up to oppose.
If some people agree, then naturally some people will oppose it; if some people oppose it, then some people must agree with it...
It seems like tit-for-tat, but in fact they are all fighting for their own interests.
Changsun Wuji opposed this bill because the army would be separated from the control of the Guanlong Group in the long run; Cheng Yaojin agreed, naturally because he wanted to dig a hole in the Guanlong Group's solid backyard to enhance his authority over the army.
There were quarrels and commotion in the hall for a while.
Surprisingly, His Majesty Li Er did not ask his princes what they thought of this matter...
Especially the prince.
The purpose of the prince's participation in the court meeting was not to share the emperor's worries, but to cultivate his experience and experience in handling political affairs in order to prepare for his future succession. The prince's participation in court meetings is to cultivate the backbone of the royal family. A stable empire must have a strong royal family. Otherwise, how can it last long if the branches are weak and the branches are strong?
His Majesty Li Er watched with cold eyes and allowed the ministers to argue with each other, but no one could convince anyone...
After a long while, Your Majesty Li Er finally spoke up and asked calmly: "Do you have any opinion on this bill, Duke Shen?" (End of Chapter)
