Chapter 1,415 There is no such thing as eating soft rice!
Fang Jun was determined.
Since His Majesty Li Er has shaken Yi Chu's idea and has not demoted himself out of the capital, it is natural that he must take advantage of the victory to pursue him and make further progress!
Fang Jun's ultimate goal, in addition to building an unprecedented military disaster relief system in this feudal era, is to give the Ministry of War more power!
The Minister of War seems to have a prominent position, and he is the existence of one person under the Ministry of War. However, the current power of the Ministry of War is actually not great. What power does the Ministry of War have? According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of War is responsible for the selection and examination of military attachés in various places.
, he was also in charge of martial arts, maps, chariots and horses, and the administration of armor...and then he was gone.
In fact, in history, only the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty had some functional power to formulate strategies and deploy troops and generals. Most of the military ministries of other dynasties did not have the power to control soldiers and generals and deploy strategies.
And this is where the hidden danger of the Tang Dynasty lies...
According to the legal system of the Tang Dynasty, military power was in the hands of generals who marched in various places. Generals were appointed by the emperor according to wartime needs and became de facto commanders of war zones. They controlled all military power. The central government had no power to check and balance other than to make strategic demands.
It is true that this system can indeed maximize the speed and sensitivity of the army in responding to the battle situation during combat, so as to avoid the situation where military orders are issued by the center but the situation on the front line is not clear, thereby delaying the opportunity for fighting and making wrong judgments, but it also buries military power.
The hidden danger of being dispersed and not unified into the central government eventually led to the military power being seized and controlled by local governments, and the central government was completely unable to command. The result was that the central government defeated the weak vassal towns and separatist regimes, and eventually the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out, and the glorious Tang Dynasty fell apart.
But the reality is this. Not to mention that Fang Jun cannot return military power to the central government, not even His Majesty Li Er can do it... He started his business relying on the Guanlong Group, and the predecessor of the Guanlong Group was the "Xianbei Six Towns" military group.
It is deeply rooted in the military and has far-reaching influence.
Even the emperor cannot have his own way.
Although Changsun Wuji, the flagship figure of the Guanlong Group, has great influence among civil servants, military power is still the foundation of the Guanlong Group. Whoever wants to take away its military power will be a life-or-death enemy. This is comparable to Li Er
His Majesty's consistent suppression is completely different.
The Guanlong Group can tolerate His Majesty Li Er taking away its land, wealth, and even political status, but it will never allow it to touch the military power it relies on for survival!
His Majesty Li Er raised his hand to suppress the storm that was about to rise above the hall in time!
Looking around with tiger eyes, he was amazed by Fang Jun's boldness and even more surprised by Fang Jun's whims. His Majesty Li Er knew that this matter was far-reaching and could not be achieved overnight, so he said in a deep voice: "After the court, Fang Aiqing
Draw up a memorial, state the ideas in detail, and then submit it to the Political Hall, so that the ministers and ministers can discuss it before making a final decision."
Fang Jun respectfully accepted the order.
All the ministers in the main hall were in various moods, and because of His Majesty Li Er's obviously supportive attitude, they all felt that a change that would affect the strongest military power in the Tang Dynasty was about to come...
But when this trend comes, ministers from each camp face their own interests and gains and losses, how should they make decisions, how should they stand in line, and how should they choose?
Everyone's heart is heavy...
*****
The so-called "disaster emergency command yamen" is just a cover thrown by Fang Jun. Although it can bring great benefits to emergency rescue and reduce some personal and property losses to the people, its real intention is to confuse the people.
The current composition structure of military power is to try to avoid the negative consequences of the dispersion of military power and take the opportunity to fight for power for the Ministry of War.
This matter involves a wide range of things and has far-reaching impacts. It requires many trials, choices, and overt and covert struggles. Naturally, it cannot be concluded overnight.
After going to court, Fang Jun refused the invitation from Cheng Yaojin and others and returned home alone.
He understood the intentions of Cheng Yaojin and others. Once his advice was approved, the first one to bear the brunt was the Guanlong Group's strength in the military, which would be curbed and suppressed. Besides the Ministry of War, Cheng Yao would be the beneficiary.
Generals such as Jin, Yuchi Jingde, and even Zhang Shigui.
It's just that Fang Jun doesn't seem to want His Majesty Li Er to think that he has any secret troubles with the military in private. This is the most taboo thing for an emperor...
After returning to the mansion, Fang Jun rushed to the study immediately to ask Fang Xuanling for advice on the situation at the court meeting.
However, the servant at home told him that the owner of the family rushed to Lishan Farm early in the morning...
Fang Jun was speechless.
This dad is really big-hearted. Even if he is cultivating his ability to handle political struggles on his own, don’t let go of things like this that may lead to inevitable disaster...
But he didn't know what to do.
My father is an indifferent person and has never bothered to fight for power. When he was a secretary in the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he kept his job. Later, he became the head of the Prime Minister and he still stayed at his job. He just worked conscientiously and did not belong to the group.
The party does not fight or rob.
This man’s political statements have a somewhat “Buddhist” flavor…
At this moment, he was so hungry that his chest was pressing against his back. He went back to the back house to wash up, took off his official robe and put on a green straight suit. He ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes, and then came to the house to see his son.
Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang were sitting at the coffee table by the window in the house, talking carefully. The maid was waiting beside them, and the two children were sitting side by side in the stroller, sleeping soundly.
The pink skin that can be broken by blowing, the slightly sparse hair, and the light hair on the face are full of the vitality of newborn life.
Looking at the cute faces of his two sons and feeling the wonderful emotion of blood connection, Fang Jun's heart almost melted...
Perhaps sensing something strange around him, Fang Shu, the eldest son on the left who was obviously fatter and stronger, yawned, kicked his legs, and opened his eyes. He didn't cry or fuss, and looked straight into Fang Jun's eyes.
, then he opened his little mouth and laughed, his short limbs kept flipping around, hitting the brothers next to him from time to time, and he said "hehe" in his mouth, he was very excited.
Fang Jun was so happy that he quickly leaned over and picked up the dishonest boy, lest he wake up Fang You, the second son who was sleeping soundly next to him.
But Fang You had no intention of waking up at all. He just waved his little hand subconsciously in his sleep, clicked his tongue, frowned and continued to sleep...
Fang Jun was holding his son in his arms. When he saw the maids bowing in unison, he quickly "shushed" and waved his hands to indicate that there was no need to greet him, so as not to wake up his second son who was sleeping soundly.
Princess Gao Yang and Wu Meiniang stood up and looked at Fang Jun holding the child and walking up to him and sitting on a stool. Wu Meiniang took a teacup and poured tea for him and said softly: "Mr. Lang, take a sip of tea first, and I will ask the maid to arrange the meal."
"
Fang Jun looked at Wu Meiniang's still pale and haggard face, and said distressedly: "I've already told you, you don't have to work, just sit down. You have just recovered, so just stay in the house honestly and don't move around too much.
, don’t worry too much, everything is already the most important thing.”
Wu Meiniang said "hmm" obediently, with a warm and sweet heart.
Preferring boys over girls is the norm. No matter how favored the wives and concubines are, how many of them can be so pampered and cared for by their husbands? Not to mention that within the noble family, there are as many beautiful young ladies as there are flowers. Today's tenderness is sweet
I mean, there are countless examples of people in the Ming Dynasty who were cold-blooded and cold-hearted. It is unusual for someone to be as sincere and sincere as Fang Jun.
Princess Gaoyang looked at the two people's affection for each other, and was a little bit disgusted. Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that Sister Changle is not a kind person. Changsun Chong looked good at first, but who knew he would be wrong?"
By committing such deeds as a treacherous minister and traitor, it would be fine for him to be ruined and live and die, but it would harm Sister Changle's life... The reputation of Qiu Shenji's reputation is also not good, and I'm afraid my sister will not be much happy if she marries."
Fang Jun, who was teasing his son until he opened his mouth and giggled "Haha", was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
Wu Meiniang glanced at Fang Jun's expression and said softly: "The news just came from the palace that His Highness Changle has agreed to the Qiu family's marriage proposal. Once the date is agreed upon, he will marry Qiu Shenji."
Fang Jun felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something, his whole body was shaken, and his face suddenly became hard to look at.
It is no secret that Qiu Shenji wanted Princess Shang Changle, and it was even more public knowledge that he begged Gao Shilian's wife, Xianyu, to enter the palace to propose marriage. But Fang Jun knew that Princess Changle refused very simply at that time, without any hesitation.
But in the blink of an eye, he agreed to the Qiu family's marriage proposal...
There must be a hidden meaning in this.
It is true that Fang Jun covets Princess Changle, but he does not go to the extent of using any means to get it. This is human nature, and everyone loves beauty. If Princess Changle really marries a good family, in his heart
Although I have regrets, I will sincerely send my blessings.
But if Princess Changle's marriage to Qiu Shenji is related to her scandal, and even the reason why His Majesty Li Er has not dismissed her from the capital is because of this matter... Fang Jun will never sit idly by.
Just kidding, even though there were many considerations for Princess Changle to marry Qiu Shenji, if she could stay in Beijing and continue to have a prosperous official career because Princess Changle used to marry Qiu Shenji to appease His Majesty Li Er, then what happened to his Fang Juncheng?
