Chapter 2275 Sister-in-law pleads
Historically, the "Military Aircraft Department" was to be founded by Emperor Yongzheng a thousand years later.
At the beginning, Emperor Yongzheng aimed at using troops in Zhonggeer, so he set up the "Military Aircraft Department" to assist him in handling military affairs. "At first, it only inherited the Miao Mo Shang army strategy." Minister" candidate. However, Emperor Yongzheng's real intention was to regard the "Military Aircraft Department" as a tool of autocratic power. He just used the name of "Counselor for Military Affairs" and turned to the "Administrative Affairs Department" to hold all military and political power in his hands.
"The military and state plans must be overseen. One hundred and eighty years since the reign of Yong and Qian dynasties, orders have been sent not to the cabinet but to the military aircraft department."
During the Qing dynasty, this temporarily established "Military Aircraft Department" of the yamen continued throughout and became the de facto highest military and political center of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the existence of the "Military Aircraft Department" only helped Emperor Yongzheng to oversee the military and political power, and completely eliminated the "Administrative Affairs Department" left over from the Kangxi era, which could not be directed by him. In essence, it did not have much political significance.
But it was completely different in the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty Li Er's complete control over the Political Hall made him completely unaware that his decrees could not be promulgated to the world through the Political Hall. The existence of the "Military Aircraft Department" did not need to be a tool to seize power, so that he could exercise his duty of controlling military power.
How can an empire prosper?
The most basic condition is political stability.
The basis for political stability lies in the unification of military power. No matter how absurd and fatuous an emperor is or how he is boycotted by the world, as long as the military power is firmly in his hands, the empire will not be in danger of overthrowing. Even if the policy program makes the people in the country miserable, there will eventually be a time to bring order to the chaos.
For the people of the world, every collapse of a dynasty and the fall of an empire is an unprecedented disaster. No matter how stupid the emperor is, no matter how strict the laws are, the damage caused is far less than the chaos and the change of dynasties. .
As long as the country survives, life will not be much different.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were able to dominate the Han people, maintain a stable political power, and continue to rule because they firmly controlled the world's military power. Among them, the "Military Aircraft Department" played an indispensable role.
Fang Jun never expected that the Tang Dynasty could survive forever. In an era when people's wisdom had not yet been awakened and feudalism ruled the world, dynasty changes were inevitable.
He just tried his best to consolidate the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and make the foundation of the empire more solid. Perhaps he could survive the storm and the building was about to collapse for a few more years, unlike in history. Then when this empire suddenly collapsed, what we faced was the chaotic world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
No matter how declining a dynasty is, it is much better than a warlord regime in troubled times.
In troubled times, human life is worse than that of a dog...
Fang Jun and Li Ji came out of the Dragon Palace side by side and were walking towards the palace gate together. A palace maid came and said that Princess Jinyang was inviting her.
Li Ji knew that Fang Jun had always been close to Princess Jinyang. The emperor's favorite little princess regarded Fang Jun as a relative. Even though the emperor had many daughters and all the sons-in-law were the best among them, she only called Fang Jun "brother-in-law". , and Fang Jun indeed dotes on Princess Jinyang a lot.
After waving his hand, Li Ji let him go and walked out of the palace.
Although he is not obsessed with power, after all, he is in the officialdom and cannot be alone. For such a major event as the establishment of the "Military Aircraft Department", he has to go back and discuss with his allies to make preparations and operate to maximize the benefits...
Fang Jun followed the maid to the palace of Princess Jinyang and found that Princess Hengshan was also there.
However, the youngest daughter of Queen Wende and His Majesty Li Er, because she was already engaged to Wei Shuyu, was promoted to Princess Xincheng from Princess Hengshan...
"Wei Chen has met your two highnesses."
Fang Jun took off his shoes at the door, his snow-white socks stepping on the smooth floor, walked into the hall, clasped his hands and saluted.
The two princesses stood up together and returned the courtesy: "Brother-in-law, there is no need to be polite..."
After the exchange of greetings, Princess Xincheng came to Fang Jun and reached out to hold his arm. Her smile was as bright as a flower and her voice was clear: "I heard that my brother-in-law wants to take a concubine again? Oh my, sister Gao Yang is so generous. If it were different, I, hum, if Wei Shuyu dares to mention taking a concubine, he must look good!”
Fang Jun was speechless.
This girl has not yet had haircuts this year. She is one year younger than Princess Jinyang. She is still several years away from getting married. What does she know about men and women? The people in the palace were just talking about her taking a concubine, but this girl listened to her.
Besides, you are engaged to Wei Shuyu at such a young age, which makes Wei Shuyu have to wait for you to reach adulthood before he can marry a wife. After all, you are still a man with a hidden ambition, and at such a vigorous age, you It’s too much to make people unable to even take concubines and have to hold them in for several years...
But of course he didn't need to worry about such things. He came to sit down at the coffee table and asked Princess Jinyang with a smile: "Your Highness has summoned me. What are your orders?"
Princess Jinyang sat there on her knees, her slender waist straight, and smiled softly: "Of course I have something to ask my brother-in-law for."
In the past two years, Princess Jinyang has grown older, and her former intelligence and intelligence have gradually transformed into gentle and delicate. Her face with a hint of baby fat has also lost its tenderness and blossomed into a peerless face as beautiful as a flower. I have to say, His Majesty Li Er's genes are very good.
Even the small body is like a willow branch in spring, becoming more and more slender and delicate...
He watched Princess Xincheng sit down next to him, pouring tea for him diligently, and even picked up a piece of pastry with two slender white fingers and put it in his mouth, with a flattering smile on his face...
Fang Jun smiled bitterly and reached out to take the pastry. He looked at Princess Jinyang and said, "Your Highness, do you want to harm me? If Your Majesty sees that a humble minister dares to let his daughter, whom he regards as the apple of his eye, serve like this, he will have to pull him out and slap him for a dozen or two times." Ten whips are not enough... If your Highnesses have something to do, it's okay to speak up. Why do you need to use the word "ask for help"? I will handle it properly for your Highnesses. "
Princess Jinyang pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Princess Xincheng, and said, "I've told you before, my brother-in-law is easy to talk to. You have to get me... You can tell your brother-in-law yourself."
It turned out to be Princess Xincheng’s idea?
Fang Jun looked at Princess Xincheng differently.
Princess Xincheng's pink face was slightly red. After all, she was a little girl with tender skin. Moreover, she was not as close to Fang Jun as Princess Jinyang. She felt embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "It's not Wei Shuyu... who is recruiting students in the academy." Both brothers in the family I was not recommended by anyone, so I am not qualified to enter the academy. Yesterday I came to the palace to find me... I also know that I should not interfere in state affairs, but the nuns in the palace all said that sooner or later, I will marry into the Wei family. , after all...after all..."
Fang Jun understood.
Although Wei Zheng was mourned and honored after his death, he had offended too many people during his lifetime. Even the brothers who were blood allies with him at the time did not want to have anything to do with the Wei family. If it were a matter of life and death, these people would naturally not sit back and watch, but if it was just a trivial matter such as whether a few disciples could enter the academy, everyone would stand by and watch.
After all, Wei Zheng was selfless and selfless during his lifetime, but he offended these brothers quite a lot...
Besides, who doesn't know that His Majesty Li Er seems to be extremely sorry for Wei Zheng, but in fact, the thorn in his heart has always been there, but he just refused to explode.
Almost all the court officials have dissociated themselves from the Wei family and will not come to retaliate, but they will definitely not get close...
Fang Jun sighed, Wei Zheng might be able to leave a good reputation in history, but purely from a human perspective, it was quite a failure.
As the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, Princess Xincheng naturally wanted to take the opportunity to show her favor to the Wei family and show her own strength. I will do it for you in minutes that you, the Wei family, cannot do. In the future, I will marry When I come to your Wei family, you still can't offer me up?
Even, it may not be without the intention of declaring a good relationship with Fang Jun to those who are watching...
Fang Jun laughed dumbly.
With Princess Xincheng's mind, it is impossible to think so far, even Princess Jinyang cannot do it. After all, this is not just the way of officialdom that can be understood by intelligence, it must be those nuns in Princess Xincheng's palace. The idea...
After thinking about it carefully, this seemed to be a plot against Fang Jun, but he didn't care.
At least the starting point of the matter is good. It is to consolidate the status of Princess Xincheng after she marries to the Wei family in the future. Fang Jun is happy to see it happen.
Fang Jun then smiled and said: "Your Highness has an order, how dare I disobey you? After returning, I added the names of Wei Shuyu's two younger brothers to the list, and Your Highness can rule the Wei family. But I still have to tell the Wei family, Be low-key and don’t show off.”
Princess Xincheng was immediately overjoyed, holding Fang Jun's arm, and sweetly shouted: "Brother-in-law is so kind!"
Fang Jun laughed. As the saying goes, "Giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands." He felt very good to be sincerely thanked by his sister-in-law.
Her breath is like orchid, and her soft jade is fragrant. A creature like sister-in-law has never been able to resist her brother-in-law. Although she is not as close to Princess Xincheng as Princess Jinyang, Fang Jun still cares and loves her.
Although Princess Jinyang died young and lost her beauty, Princess Xincheng also had a bad fate...(End of Chapter)
