Just when everyone was still worried and entangled, someone said: "The old minister agrees with Liu Zhongcheng's recommendation. Fang Shaobao has made great achievements. He led the fleet across the seven seas, opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty's trade routes, and also led the army to fight fiercely in the Western Regions.
He fought against the Turkic wolf cavalry, sent more troops out of Baidao, swept through Mobei, destroyed Xue Yantuo, sealed the wolf in Xushan, conquered Shi Yanran, and expanded the border of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty all the way to the North Sea. Looking at the court, his achievements are very few! It's just that
Although he has made outstanding achievements, he is still a weakling. He is inevitably inexperienced in taking charge of the country's military. If he can become a privy councilor and assist the military minister in handling military affairs, he can also quickly accumulate experience. Our veterans are all old and about to die.
In the future, the empire will still have to rely on the younger generation to step up and assist His Majesty in creating a foundation that will last forever. We should cultivate them from now on and prepare for a rainy day."
Everyone took a closer look and found out that it was Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty and the Crown Prince.
Although everyone is a little disdainful, thinking that this is Xiao Yu's "rewarding talents without avoiding relatives", they also deeply agree with his words. The court is always full of vitality, and a group of old guys can't always be the masters here.
We must give young people some opportunities. Otherwise, when the old guys retire in the future and young people step in suddenly and lack experience, won't it be a disservice to the country?
Zhang Liang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "The minister agrees with what Taifu Xiao said. Fang Jun is extremely talented and has made great achievements. He should be given the position of Privy Councilor to join the military department. Otherwise, if he appoints others, how can he serve the public?"
He was tricked by Fang Jun. He wanted to stand by Changsun Wuji to ensure his political status, but he didn't dare to offend Fang Jun...
Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, also said: "I also agree that the imperial army is equipped with firearms on a large scale. Although it is unique in the world and invincible, it also lacks a few generals who are proficient in firearms warfare. Fang Jun is the founder of firearms warfare.
, with his deep chest and outstanding strategy, he should continue to strive for excellence in the research and development, innovation and perfection of firearms warfare methods in line with his qualifications to enter the center of the imperial army."
This is the truth.
Gunpowder was developed by Fang Jun, firearms were started by Fang Jun, and he vigorously promoted it. This created an invincible navy that wreaked havoc across the seven seas, and even annihilated Mobei with an army of one guard, destroying Xue Yantuo. No surprise.
, in the upcoming Eastern Expedition, firearms will still shine.
It can be said that Fang Jun single-handedly led an unprecedented military revolution. Now even famous generals such as "Military God" Li Jing, "Victorious General" Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Wei Chigong have begun to study firearms tactics with great concentration. In the military circles of the Tang Dynasty,
, Fang Jun has already become a benchmark for the new generation, a figure like a "military god".
If the Military Aircraft Department, which is the center of the military, does not have Fang Junzhi, how can it serve the public?
Changsun Wuji held his breath in his chest and couldn't swallow or spit it out. He was very uncomfortable. He had already reached a tacit agreement with the ministers that Fang Jun could not be promoted to Minister of Military Aircraft Department under any circumstances, but he did not expect that Fang Jun would withdraw and ask for help.
Secondly, get a Privy Councilor from the Military Aircraft Department... This guy is too cunning and slippery.
And now ministers have expressed their support, and the temporary alliance formed due to the assassination collapsed.
The ministers are willing to suppress Fang Jun, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and punish the past to avoid future mistakes, but they are not willing to offend Fang Jun to death. The Minister of Military Aircraft Department cannot be a minister. If they want to stop even a Privy Council running errands, then Fang Jun will be offended to death.
Dead.
It would be fine if everyone worked together to crush Fang Jun to death. They didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, whether it was Li Jing who had great military exploits in the past, or Li Xiaogong who was known as the "number one general in the clan"
, weren’t they all incited by them to stir up public opinion, and then leave His Majesty Li Er to leave?
But Fang Jun is different.
Maybe everyone can unite to suppress Fang Jun for a while, but when the crown prince comes to power in the future, Fang Jun will be like a fish in the sea and a dragon in the sky. Whoever suppresses him today will be rewarded tenfold or a hundredfold tomorrow.
With His Highness the Crown Prince's renewed reliance on Fang Jun, who can stop him at that time?
Now that the goal has been achieved, let's just go with the flow and let him enter the military aircraft office so that we can talk to each other later...
Especially Xiao Yu made Changsun Wuji very angry.
As you said outside the palace just now, you must give Fang Jun some benefits, otherwise the situation will be endless. Are you talking about Fang Jun entering the Military Aircraft Department as Privy Council?
I thought I was giving some compensation somewhere else!
You and I are discussing the quota of Minister of Military and Aircraft here, and you are selling Fang Jun to a good person over there. You have killed all the good people here and outside, and I am the only one who suffers?
Changsun Wuji felt extremely aggrieved. He had never been so heartbroken in all the years he had been in court. He gritted his teeth and held back his strength, waiting for Rong to come back with revenge from Xiao Yu later.
…
On the throne, His Majesty Li Er raised his hand to stop the chaos and noise in the court, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please be patient. The most important item in this court meeting is to recommend the candidate for the Minister of Military and Aircraft.
It won’t be too late to discuss other matters until the candidate for the Minister of Military and Aircraft is confirmed.”
He looked around and said, "Can the British Government Draw up a list of candidates for the Minister of Military and Aircraft?"
Li Ji stood up and solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, of course there is one. After discussion with all the ministers and assistants in the political affairs hall, we have drafted the plan for Zhao Guogong, Sun Wuji, Wei ministers, Hejian County Prince Li Xiaogong, Wei Guogong Li Jing, Song Guogong
Xiao Yu and five others are in charge, and I sincerely request His Majesty to judge."
His Majesty Li Er frowned and thought about it in his mind. He felt that these five people were all impeccable in terms of ability, reputation, and status.
It was just the name of Duke Wei Li Jing that made him hesitate a little.
After all, during the Xuanwu Sect, Li Jing stayed out of the matter and never participated in it, which made it difficult for His Majesty Li Er to get rid of the problem. Even after Li Jing swore allegiance, he still performed his duties conscientiously and made outstanding achievements. There were few rivals in the dynasty, but he still couldn't get Li Er.
His Majesty's complete confidence.
This is why Li Jing, who had military power in his hands, had to retreat bravely and become an official in his prime...
Now that Li Jing is getting older, there is actually no problem in resurrecting, but directly becoming one of the core bosses of the imperial military... Is it safe?
While he was still weighing the matter, another person from the back row stepped forward and said: "Weak ministers, please start! Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Dynasty, is an important minister of the country and the pillar of the imperial court. His subordinates admire him very much. However, the Military Aircraft Department is the empire's
The core of the army, which handles the important tasks of the entire army, must have experience in leading troops to kill the enemy and the ability to make decisions on the battlefield. Song Guogong is a civil servant after all, so his ability to handle military affairs may be limited. From the perspective of a minor minister, Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, seems to be more
suitable."
Everyone took a look and found out that it was Shangshu Zuocheng Yu Wenjie.
He actually recommended Jing Wang Li Yuanjing?
What a nonsense!
Although his reasons for opposing Xiao Yu seem to be quite sufficient, King Jing has never been on the battlefield, let alone commanded soldiers and horses. I am afraid that he may not be as good as Xiao Yu. After all, the latter has been the prime minister for many years and has no
I have eaten pork and seen pigs run away.
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously thought of the scene when Li Yuanjing went to the palace to present a painting.
Ruan Xian is unruly and lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests?
Zhang Yu was mediocre and mediocre, but he was promoted to prime minister and assistant?
He had never understood Li Yuanjing's true intention before, but now after listening to Yu Wenjie's words, it became vaguely clear.
Not capable?
No problem, who stipulates that a person who is a prime minister must be capable? A person with extraordinary talent and beauty may not necessarily make the country beautiful and the imperial power stable. On the contrary, it will hinder the imperial power. There are many threats. A little carelessness can create a generation of powerful ministers.
The imperial power fell by the wayside; and the people who did nothing were relatively simple-minded. They could only rely on the imperial power to ascend to the throne, and they could only rely on the imperial power to stabilize their positions as prime ministers and assistants.
The army is the foundation of imperial power. The government can be corrupted and ministers can betray, but the army must be firmly in the hands of the imperial power, otherwise it will be a disaster.
Who is the most trustworthy?
No one knows this, but for the Li Tang royal family, the descendants of the clan are naturally the most reliable.
Because even if one day he rebels, the world will still be the world of Li and Tang, the country will not change, and the country will not change.
Moreover, Li Yuanjing probably wanted to use this to express a wish to him as the emperor - my brother, I am willing to be a military minister made of clay, in order to beautify the good wishes of your majesty, brother, friend and brother...
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his mind and calculating the gains and losses.
I have to say that this last point really touched his heart. Regarding Li Yuanjing, he has been hesitating and wanted to cut him off, but he was afraid that he would once again bear the reputation of killing brothers and brothers. If he let it go, he was worried that his evil intentions would not die.
, who conspired to tamper with us, will still have to be killed when the time comes...
If Li Yuanjing really changed his mind, gave up his thoughts of tampering, and was willing to be a prime minister like Zhang Yu honestly, it would be a perfect solution.
