Chapter 4981 Liu Jie: Why did Your Majesty rebel?
Liu Ji naturally understood why His Majesty mentioned the short-lived "Pingzhang State Affairs" and supported His Majesty's idea of strengthening the civil service group and confronting the military, but he did not approve of His Majesty's eager and explosive methods.
So radical!
Do you really think that Li Jicheng, who is in a high position and has a low position, has no temper at all and can be pinched and flattened?
Do you really think that Fang Jun is so loyal and an emperor that he can be suppressed without any complaints?
Don't be naive!
Once these two people are angered and imitate the "Xuanwumen Incident" of the year, they rush into the Taiji Palace to force you to abdicate, and then support the crown prince to ascend the throne, what will you do?
As long as these two people join forces, it will be easy for them to do what Changsun Wuji failed to do and King Jin was only one step away.
Under the current situation, the military is strong and the imperial power is declining. The imperial power is maintained by the military. Stability is the only priority. We should find ways to appease the military instead of using radical means to weaken or suppress the military.
Otherwise, it is almost equivalent to destroying the Great Wall.
When the time comes when the army enters the Tai Chi Palace and asks you, "Why did your Majesty commit rebellion?", how will you respond?
"Your Majesty, both Taiwei and Yinggong are loyal and loyal men, and they have made great achievements and are famous all over the world. They are also the pillars of the country and the pillars of the country! If you are given the mission of 'Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi', it will be unavoidable. Your Majesty, please think twice about favoring one over another.”
Liu Jie was sweating coldly, feeling that His Majesty was a little crazy.
But no matter how crazy you are, you can't have no scruples, right?
Ma Zhou was also admonishing: "The current empire is changing with each passing day. It requires countless money, resources and even population to complete many constructions. It is in urgent need of external expansion. It is when the military advances bravely and pioneers. Of course, there is a 2. Unconventional or even arrogant We should be understanding and tolerant. With Taiwei and Yinggong in charge, there will be no surprises. When construction slows down, it will not be too late to improve regulations and impose restrictions on all parties. Why rush for a while and cause twists and turns in a good situation. ?”
The imperial navy spanned the seven seas, plundering wealth, population, and resources in the name of commerce and completing domestic construction. It not only made the decadence and decline caused by the wars in the late Sui Dynasty disappear forever, but also promoted the national power to flourish.
At this time, all parties should be patient and cooperate, and spend ten or twenty years to consolidate this national power and lay a foundation that will last forever, instead of checking and balancing each other's power and being suspicious of each other.
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked, and when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden." How can it be that before the hare is dead and the birds are not gone, the running dogs are cooked and killed, and the swords and guns are stored in the warehouse?
However, Li Chengqian was unmoved: "Although the Shangshu Province is one of the three provinces, the situation is special after all. Emperor Taizong once served as the Shangshu Order, and he has obeyed it for eternity and has never overstepped. When Emperor Taizong was there, he had a mind as big as the sea and hundreds of millions of people. No prohibition Ji, but now the deputy minister is still the minister of the empire. Doesn’t it mean that the ministers are superior to the emperor Taizong? Although such official positions are noble and noble, they are not suitable for continuing to lead the court."
Liu Ji and Ma Zhou looked at each other in silence.
The reason is certainly far-fetched, but after all, it is His Majesty Chrysostom's imperial speech, and it involves Emperor Taizong, who dares to say it is wrong?
The question still lies in how Fang Jun and Li Ji react.
Liu Jie thought about it and said hesitantly: "If it only stops here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Li Chengqian asked: "What good advice does Ai Qing have?"
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "This matter is extremely difficult, and even if it can be implemented, there will be endless troubles... Since the prime minister and assistants in His Majesty's Political Affairs Hall are unable to take care of the government affairs, and you want to increase the number of officials to participate in the political affairs of Henan, why not simply add a few more people? Remove them. Liu, Tang, Dai, In addition to Pei, Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, has a respectful temperament. Su Dingfang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, is a disciple of the Weiguan sect. He has unparalleled military strategies and outstanding achievements. He may also be given the task of "Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi" .”
Ma Zhou glanced at Liu Ji helplessly. "Pingzhangshi" gave him the power to "participate in the political affairs of Henan Province", but now that Liu Ji did this, it was a mess. When the affairs were discussed in the political hall, the whole hall would be full of officials and ministers. Wuyangyang...what a decent thing it is.
But he also understood Liu Jiezhi's intention. If he wanted to deprive Fang Jun and Li Ji of their de facto power as "chief ministers" and make them willing to cease their activities, he had to make compensation elsewhere. The best way was to transfer the power of these two people to Confidants filled the political hall.
Only with the unprecedented increase in power can the political hall have the strength to check and balance the growing military and balance the military and political power of the empire.
However, Li Ji still suffered a loss, because with the decline of Zhenguan's ministers, the famous generals and prime ministers who had made great achievements in the past had either died or returned to their hometowns. In addition, Li Ji had not deliberately managed the business in recent years, resulting in no close confidants under his disciples. Qualifications for admission to the Political Affairs Hall...
Li Chengqian thought for a while and nodded: "Lu Guogong is loyal and loyal, and has made great achievements. He also made great contributions in thwarting An Yuanshou's rebellion. He should be transferred back to Chang'an. It's just that there is no reward or title, so he might as well Being admitted to the Political Affairs Hall to participate in the political affairs of Henan is also considered as a reward for the meritorious officials.”
The corner of Liu Ji's mouth twitched. At this time, did you think of Cheng Yaojin?
When you kicked him to Guzang City, you didn't think about his past achievements...
But now Cheng Yaojin is at odds with Fang Jun and Li Ji, and he is resentful. Transferring him back to Chang'an to check and balance those two people is "making the best use of everything"...
"Your Majesty is wise. Lu Guogong is a famous general with great prestige. He will definitely be able to repay the king's kindness and work hard on state affairs. He will not be powerful and clean up the court."
Li Chengqian looked at Liu Ji, a little speechless, why should he be so exaggerated?
If Cheng Yaojin really had this ability, why would he be trapped in Guzang City and unable to return to Chang'an?
He is naturally good at fighting, but he is only able to protect himself and is not enterprising enough. Even returning to Chang'an is nothing more than a deterrent. If there is any change in the court, how can he be the opponent of Li Ji and Fang Jun?
Whether the task of "Pingzhang Shi" was transferred to the political hall or transferred back to Cheng Yaojin, it was just a gesture to let the military understand the fear in the king's heart and have a certain determination for military and political checks and balances, which made the military When faced with difficulties, retreat and give way.
It is not necessary to seriously start a fight with the military point of view against Maimang.
Both Li Ji and Fang Jun were loyal to him as the emperor and had no rebellious intentions. It was just a threat to the monarchy as the military became more and more powerful. As long as those two people understood their If you are afraid, you will definitely retreat.
The crisis of monarchy does not lie in who is in charge of the army, but in the current expanding territory and growing national power.
And his lack of prestige as an emperor.
This is no one’s fault.
*****
Today the clouds are gathering, the wind is freezing, and a heavy snow is brewing in the clouds.
In the back house of Duke Liang's house, servants and maids came in and out. Clothes, accessories and other daily necessities were packed into boxes and boxes. Several hostesses sat around the hall, holding Wu Meiniang's hand, feeling relieved and worried. Admonished.
The New Year has passed, and Wu Meiniang is about to leave for Luoyang. Many of the sisters are reluctant to leave. Although people in this era are relatively free and do not have many restrictions such as "the door cannot go out, the second door cannot step", but it is not possible for a weak body to travel hundreds of miles. It's easy and can be overcome in terms of life, but the psychological pressure is huge.
But who is Wu Meiniang?
Last night, Lang Jun carefully poured out a lot of contentment. At this moment, the skin on the bright cheeks is delicate and white, and the eyes are looking forward to the sky. She responded to the sisters' words in a low voice, but she didn't agree with it in her heart.
She is not a canary dependent on men. In her life, men are important, but they are definitely not necessary.
Having a platform like a store allows her to fully display her talents, abilities, and skills. This is the wonderful thing in life.
Especially after having a heart-to-heart talk with Fang Jun, I had a very clear understanding of myself, the company, and even the future of the entire empire. I thought that as a female, I could contribute to the advancement of the empire, and I became more and more aware of it. Hair is full of energy and high spirits.
When he saw Fang Jun, who was wearing straight clothes, holding a small teapot, sipping tea and walking in square steps, his bright eyes stared at him, biting his lips slightly, his eyes flowing.
If she finds such a man in this life, she will be the luckiest woman in the world.
The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and there were very few restrictions on women. There was nothing wrong with women and daughters of ordinary families being exposed in public. However, Fang Jun not only handed over the family property to her, but also allowed her to go to Luoyang alone to take charge of a business with assets worth hundreds of millions. It is still unique to have a business name and even grasp the direction of the empire's foreign strategy.
Even she could hear the slander, criticism, and ridicule from the outside world. How could Fang Jun not know about it?
However, Fang Jun never cared. As long as she was willing and liked, he would always indulge her.
What more can a woman ask for when she has such a husband?
"Why bring so many things? It's not too much trouble."
Fang Jun entered the hall and stood there holding a purple clay pot. He looked at the piles of boxes and cages and said with a smile: "Luoyang has been prosperous since ancient times, and now it is the intersection of merchants from all over the world. There are places like Chang'an and Luoyang. There are also things in Luoyang that are not available in Chang'an. When you arrive in Luoyang, you just need to buy them. The roads are difficult at this time, so it will be a disaster to bring so many things."
Wu Meiniang sat there and said with a smile: "I said the same thing, but this is the wish of the two princesses. I feel warm and flattered. No matter how many things I have, I must bring it with me."
Gao Yang, Jin Shengman, a Tang princess and a Silla princess.
There is also Xiao Shu'er in Huating Town. If Nanliang had not been destroyed, she would probably be a princess... Princess Gao Yang held Wu Meiniang's hand and said softly: "Don't listen to him. The things you bought are brand new, no matter how good they are, they will not last." It’s comfortable to use because you are used to it. If you have more things, send more people and cars. If you have more family members around you, it will be easier to dispatch when you go to Luoyang.”
