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 he will do his best to stop anything that damages his reputation as a virtuous king. .
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 cannot be washed away even by all the water of the Yellow River. He can only exist in the world as an honest, thrifty, and sage monarch to offset all negative images. He firmly believes that as long as he If he could feed and clothe the people all over the world, make the Tang Dynasty prosperous and beautiful, make the Han family famous all over the world, and shock everyone, then people would forget all his flaws and only criticize his achievements. Praise.
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, which 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 grand 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 he is even more confident 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 it. It's better to be more casual and friendly.
Therefore, the court meeting was not held in the main hall of the Liangyi Palace, 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 arranged left and right. It looked more like a banquet than a banquet. A court meeting to discuss national affairs...
*****
When King Li Zhi of Jin 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 imperial 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 eyebrows and felt relieved, and said with a smile: "The mood is understandable, but it is a bit excessive to have many important ministers of the country wait for you alone. I will 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, the King of 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, when I get to the court meeting, the circles under my eyes are all black. I don’t know what was discussed at all. I just want to hide it at 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 his hand at him: "Hurry 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 take in the scene 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 guy was slightly lowering his head and his eyelids were drooped. He didn't know whether he was playing deep or not.
nap……
His Majesty Li Er's words interrupted Li Zhi's thoughts. 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 of the '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, and then at Fang Jun, who was silent and silent, without saying a word.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and other generals who participated in the court meeting were all in high spirits. Their previous languid expressions were 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 when there is a disaster? Soldiers are at will.
Transferring is an extremely dangerous thing, and once someone takes advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous."
The Sixteen Guards were stationed in the capital city, and each had their own camp. 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 stood up for him...
Cen Wenwen said: "It has been clearly stated in Fang Shilang's memorial that the prince's sixth rate and the left and right camps guarding the Xuanwu Gate do not need to be transferred, and it is not necessary that all the sixteen guards accept the transfer, and the left and right military guards, the left and right military guards, and the left and right guards are not required to be transferred.
The Xunwei must ensure that there are three guards guarding the capital, so 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 a one-guard movement at a time. What kind of waves can it create?
Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "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 made serious remarks. Since it is a bill, it will naturally have to be passed by all the ministers, and then His Majesty will make a decision before it can be implemented. The bill was passed by everyone, so why should I bear the consequences of it all?
?There’s no such thing as this in the world.”
But he sneered in his heart.
Although "Changsun Yinren" is scheming and cunning, Cen Wenwen is not given for nothing! Do you 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 be said that the swords and guns have been put into the warehouse, and the horses have been released to Nanshan! If things continue like this
, Guanzhong Erlang just went to the military camp to click Mao and respond to the scene. He had never experienced a battle. Once a foreign enemy invaded, should those little boys be allowed to go to the battlefield and fight to the death for the country? This time, Fang Shilang's proposal was very
So good, we can take the opportunity to pull the guards out for some training. Although the effect will definitely be far from actual combat, it is still better than nothing. You can't just raise 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 it.
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 a tit-for-tat confrontation, 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 noisy noises all over 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 is not to share the emperor's worries, but to cultivate his experience and experience in handling political affairs in order to prepare for future succession. The prince's participation in the court meeting 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 trunk is weak and the branches are strong?
His Majesty Li Er watched with cold eyes and allowed the ministers to argue with each other. No one could convince anyone...
After a long while, Your Majesty Li Er spoke up and asked calmly: "What is Mr. Shen's opinion on this bill?"
