Historically, the "Military Aircraft Department" would be founded by Emperor Yongzheng a thousand years later.
At the beginning, Emperor Yongzheng aimed at using troops in Zhonggeer, so he established the "Military Aircraft Department" to assist him in handling military affairs. "At first, it only inherited the temple, merchant, and military strategy." 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" to turn to the "Administrative Affairs Department" and grasp all the military and political power in it. in hand.
"The military and state plans must not be overseen by the general government. Since the Yong Dynasty, one hundred and eighty years after the Qian Dynasty, the command has 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 that 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 Government Hall made him completely unaware that his decrees could not be promulgated to the world through the Government 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 holding military power.
How can an empire prosper?
The most basic condition is political stability.
The foundation of 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 agenda makes the people in the country miserable. , and 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 collapse 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 of the world, 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 military power of the world. Among them, the "Military Aircraft Department" played an indispensable role.
Fang Jun never expected that the Tang Dynasty could last forever for thousands of generations. The people's wisdom had not yet been enlightened, and in the era of feudal rule of 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. Maybe 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.
Even a declining dynasty is much better than a turbulent 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 his 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, stepping on the smooth floor with his snow-white socks, 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 the other way around,
I, hum, if Wei Shuyu dares to mention taking a concubine, I must make him look good!"
Fang Jun was speechless.
This girl has not yet had haircuts this year, she is one year younger than Princess Jinyang, and she is still several years away from getting married. What does she know about men and women? She is just gossiping about her taking in concubines, and this girl hears it.
Gone.
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, he is still a man with a hidden ambition, and at such a vigorous age, you
It's too much to ask someone to not even take a concubine, but to hold it in for several years...
But of course there was no need for him to worry about such things. He came to sit down in front of the coffee table and asked Princess Jinyang with a smile: "Your Highness has summoned me, what are your instructions?"
Princess Jinyang sat there on her knees, her slender waist straight, and said with a soft smile: "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 faded away from its tenderness, and she has blossomed into a peerless face as beautiful as a flower. I have to say,
His Majesty Li Er's genes are very good.
Even that 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 will not do... If your Highnesses have something to do, there is no harm in speaking up. Why use words like 'asking for each other'? I have decided to handle it properly for Your Highnesses."
Princess Jinyang pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Princess Xincheng, and said: "I told you earlier, my brother-in-law is very easy to talk to. You have to drag me along... 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 a tender face, and she was not as close to Fang Jun as Princess Jinyang. She felt embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "It's not Wei Shuyu... the academy is enrolling students, he is
The two brothers in my family were not recommended, so they are not qualified to enter the academy. Yesterday they 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
They all have to marry into the Wei family, after all...after all..."
Fang Jun understood.
Although Wei Zheng was mourned and honored after his death, after all, 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 too much involvement with the Wei family. If it was a matter of life and death, these people would naturally not sit back and watch.
Ignore it, but if it is just a trivial matter such as whether a few disciples can enter the academy, everyone will just 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 who has never married into the Wei family, Princess Xincheng naturally wants 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 are still not allowed to offer me as an offering?
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. 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 the Wei family in the future, and Fang Jun is happy to see it come to fruition.
Fang Jun then smiled and said: "Your Highness has an order, how dare I disobey it? After returning, I added the names of Wei Shuyu's two younger brothers to the list, and Your Highness can rule the Wei family. However, I still have to tell the Wei family, Keep a low profile and don't be arrogant."
Princess Xincheng was immediately overjoyed. She held Fang Jun's arm and sweetly exclaimed: "Brother-in-law is so nice!"
Fang Jun laughed. As the saying goes, "Giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in your hands." He felt very good to receive sincere gratitude from his sister-in-law.
Her breath is like orchid, and soft jade is fragrant. Sister-in-law, a creature like her, 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 loves and cherishes her.
Although the Princess of Jinyang died young and lost her beauty, the Princess of Xincheng also had a bad fate...
