Chapter 143 The affairs of the imperial court
"Of course there are goals." Yihong said frankly, "But before talking about my purpose, I can help you analyze the purpose of Wen Xiangwu."
"Ha...you said you were helping me analyze the purpose of Wen Xiangwu, but in fact you wanted to convince me in advance, right?"
"I don't deny it. Now that Wen Xiangwu has become your backer, you will definitely do things according to his wishes. Think about it, why did Wen Xiangwu give you the task of forming an infantry regiment?"
"Of course it's because he wants to test my abilities. Also, I'm a new person with a clean political background and no obvious tendency. I'll be relieved to form this group."
"Both of these points are correct." Yijiu nodded, "but there is another point you didn't say."
"One more? What's the point?"
"You always ignore your own strengths." Yihong looked at me helplessly, "Didn't I just say that with your ability, as long as you want, this group is yours.
I heard that when Wen Xiangwu was testing you, he slapped you in the face to observe your position in the hearts of the soldiers. As a result, all the soldiers in the audience looked over with murderous intent, as if they would tear Wen Xiangwu and the others into pieces with your order. After that, Wen Xiangwu told everyone that you were a natural commander.
Since he has such an evaluation of you, he must know that the soldiers you are in charge will be on you. Even if the guards of the imperial city are staying under you for three months, they will most likely become your person. If you replace you, as long as you don’t come forward to comfort and establish your authority for the new regiment commander, the new regiment commander will not stand firm at all.
People like you are not suitable for training soldiers for others. But Wen Xiangwu asked you to train soldiers for the emperor. What does this mean?"
"This shows... Wen Xiangwu has any ideas about this group?"
I scratched my head and shook my head.
"Not necessarily. Maybe Wen Xiangwu just wanted to do an experiment by the way. He didn't give me any requests for this infantry regiment, so he asked me to do it by myself, as if he wanted to see what kind of troops I, who had never entered the military academy, could use wild ways to create. If it succeeds, he would ignorant of this regiment and then pick a regiment from the Guards Division for the emperor; if it fails, he would give this regiment to the emperor, and he would not suffer any loss."
"Don't you still have any ideas about this group?"
Yihong wrapped her arms around her knees, pressed her cheeks against her knees, and looked at me with her face sideways.
"Wen Xiangwu was also from Yuanxing and was not loyal to the royal family. Everyone said that he was loyal to the great ancestors, not from any family or any person, and he did not form cliques himself. The so-called Wen Xiangwu faction now is either his disciples or follow him spontaneously, and none of them was brought in by himself. Therefore, no matter which faction is in power, he will not cause trouble for Wen Xiangwu.
As early as sixty years ago, the royal family had lost the hearts of the people. However, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. Until now, the royal family still had a great influence in the court... You may not believe it. The constitutional faction who undermined the emperor's power was the royal princes, and the father of the Wing King was one of them.
Before the constitutionalists seized power, several princes went to Wen Xiangwu to talk to him, hoping that he would remain neutral. Wen Xiangwu agreed without saying a word, otherwise the constitutionalists would not be able to let go of it. This is an open secret in the court, but this kind of thing cannot be taken out and said it openly, so everyone can only say it privately.
Think about it, when the constitutionalists seized power, Wen Xiangwu chose neutrality without hesitation, which shows that he did not want the emperor to take power. For Daxian now, it was not a good thing for the emperor to take power. The situation in the court was already chaotic enough. If another emperor came in, the situation would become even more chaotic.
The situation in the world is very tense now. Whether it is the Central Plains or the European Union, they all look like they may fight tomorrow. There is a saying that if you fight foreign countries, you must first settle the country. The little things in the court will not stop because of the outbreak of war, and all factions will not unite because of the outbreak of war.
There was a saying before that we lost both the Tuta people and the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, we lost so badly, not entirely because our weapons, equipment and tactics were not as good as others, and the court also had to bear part of the responsibility. When fighting on the front line, various factions in the court were still fighting openly and secretly, and even letting the front line troops betray each other and attacking political enemies with defeat.
It is said that the emperor who signed the surrender letter to the Turusa Empire angrily denounced his ministers before committing suicide, saying that my humiliation and the humiliation of the country were all part of it. Later, some people even believed that the ministers deliberately defeated the army to the Tuta people in order to attack the royal family and divide the power of the royal family. After the defeat, the ministers did divide the power of the royal family, so this statement was completely tenable.
When the constitutionalists fell, although they wanted to give all the power to the emperor, in fact, the emperor basically did not get any power. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that now, the emperor is just a symbol and is no longer the ruler. No one wants to, and no one will give the emperor real power. However, those who become emperors are not honest and want to seize power, so they die one by one.
With the vision of Wen Xiang and Wu, he could not see the situation clearly, so he would let the emperor take power at this time. I think he asked you to form an infantry regiment, one to perfunctorily treat the emperor and make the emperor think that he can have real power, but in fact the military power is still in the hands of others; the other to protect the emperor.
I am not saying that Wen Xiangwu is optimistic about the current emperor. Last year, Daxian died several emperors in succession, which is very harmful to the national prestige. If the emperor now has too much power, it arouses the alertness of various factions and is killed again, it will hurt the national prestige again. Daxian's national prestige will affect the morale of the people and the army. Now that the world situation is so tense, Daxian must always prepare for war, and we can no longer afford to hurt the national prestige."
Speaking of this, Little Red sighed heavily.
"If a war breaks out, the only thing that the court can count on is Wenxiangwu, because they are the only ones who are dedicated to the country. As for the others... Haha. Before the war breaks out, the Wenxiangwu faction can have a point of strength, and Daxian's combat power can be literally increased."
I didn't expect that a woman who is popular was so concerned about national affairs.
Looking at the helpless red look, I suddenly felt that she was a little cute - no, not a little, nor was she suddenly felt. I always thought she was very cute, but I suddenly felt that she had become even more cute just now and wanted to touch her head. But if I did this, she would definitely take out her pistol and press my head.
"You let me control this group to increase the strength of the Wenxiang and Wu faction?"
"No." Yihong made a negative answer without hesitation, "What I want to increase is you, my partner's strength."
"Uh, my strength?"
"That's right." Yihong sat upright, "Whether Wen Xiangwu or his sects are too far away from me, I can't count on you at all. The only people I can count on, the stronger your strength, the more places I can use you. It's just a by-pass to help Wen Xiangwu's sect enhance its strength, and you have only mastered an infantry regiment. This little force is just a drop in the bucket for Daxian, and it's better than nothing."
"Uh...if I take control of this infantry regiment, what are you going to do with me?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but it will definitely be useful." Yihong blinked seriously, "and I didn't say that I only let you control this infantry regiment. In the future, I will do my best to help you get on the job. The higher your official position and the greater the power in your hands, the more I can do. When you can come in handy, I will naturally come to you."
