There was no consensus on the issue of training the personal guards mentioned by His Royal Highness during the meeting, and Ouyang Xiu even refuted it with emotion at the beginning.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained later, specifically explaining that he did not monitor ministers and workers, he did not continue the discussion at that time.
Because His Highness the Crown Prince never does things without aim, the officials did not have the courage to give direct answers.
Therefore, the governor took this issue out and expanded it to the entire court.
They hope to brainstorm and involve all ministers and ministers in this matter, so that they can figure out the true intentions of His Highness the Crown Prince among the various opinions and suggestions... After all, the final result is very different from the initial proposal.
It's common.
At the same time, it is also possible to create a situation where everyone in the court is happy and allow His Highness the Crown Prince to start implementing this matter. In this way, the Political Hall can set conditions and understand the goals of His Highness the Crown Prince in the bargaining process.
It's a pity that all means have been used, and in the end the matter seems to have stopped just like that, silently.
"Is it possible that His Royal Highness really has no other intentions?"
Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for three years. Wen Yanbo is really unreliable regarding His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal.
It has been more than ten years since the Wanyinshan exercise. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still a teenager at that time. Now he is an adult and will soon inherit the throne. The strategic layout is by no means comparable to what it was back then.
The current situation in the court was also initiated by Wen Yanbo.
However, now he is also confused.
Fu Bi raised his head and simply put down the memorial in his hand. He pinched his eyebrows... He really didn't want to see anyone disturbing the court again.
If he hadn't seen that His Highness the Crown Prince really had the possibility of reviving the Song Dynasty, Fu Bi would have wanted to retire and return home.
But he is also a civil servant, so he has to consider it from the perspective of a civil servant.
His Highness the Crown Prince obviously has a martial arts complex.
Every time there was a grand excuse, but the final focus was on armament.
Fu Bi didn't think it was wrong, but the civil servants were nervous. Especially after the victory in the Western Expedition, they became even more nervous, even to the point of fighting.
All the officials in the imperial court think so, and the reasons are readily available. Just look at the current arrogance of the guard camp, and you can see that His Highness the Crown Prince's concept of education is to improve the status of military commanders.
What's wrong with this? The country and the DPRK are surrounded by enemies on all sides. A strong defense force is the guarantee for the stability of the country and the DPRK. Why can't they tolerate it?
It just can’t be tolerated!
This court is like this. Once there is no military force, they will focus on internal strife and fighting, and everyone is quite expert.
Spoiled, the scholar's exorbitant status has reached the point where no other status can threaten their respect.
Fu Bi was also helpless. He wanted to speak, but he opened his mouth and then stopped, unable to speak.
"If it is true as His Highness said, it is just a substitute training, then there is nothing wrong with it."
Sima Guang's classic level is high, but when it comes to court strategy, he is really not an elite.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally proposed the re-election of troops for the guard battalion. He did not understand why Wen Kuanfu wanted his ministers to think that it was an expansion of the army, and even rumored that it was born.
His Royal Highness, the Prince, wanted to expand the guard camp by using the guard camp's regular troops and training... This was what Wen Kuanfu had originally determined.
Wen Kuanfu even believed that the soldiers of the guard camp must not be dispersed to various military camps.
The pride of the guard camp is deep in the bones. If this temperament is brought to all military camps, it means that the general will turn around.
Everyone seems to agree on this.
"Yanbo is still not at ease. Everyone, why don't you take it one step further?"
“How to proceed?”
Fu Bi didn't ask, but Sima Guang did. Someone had to take over.
"Today's Palace Front Division, the Fourth Army is no longer worthy of its name. However, the territory occupied by the military camp has not changed."
"To test whether His Highness the Crown Prince will expand the army this time, the imperial court can vacate all the military camps around the guard camp..."
Fu Bi narrowed his eyes and instantly understood what Wen Yanbo meant.
Setting a trap for His Highness the Crown Prince? You can see such an obvious trap... No, Wen Kuanfu is trying to win an alliance!
Every inch of land in Bianliang is precious. If the military camps are vacant, more people will be watching. Should they be used for military camps or converted to civilians? This leaves a lot of room for maneuver.
This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Western Expedition allowed the court to see the importance of not having too many soldiers but to rely on elite troops. At the same time, after years of planning by His Highness the Crown Prince, the court also saw that reducing the number of soldiers would have little impact on the country's defense.
If the Bianliang garrison is abolished at this time, I am afraid it will be passed in the court...
This is a contradiction. The dismantling of the Forbidden Forces will inevitably lead to the renewal of military armaments, and the renewal of military armaments also needs to be led by His Highness the Crown Prince and executed by the escort battalion.
Fu Bi felt that Mr. Wen Kuan might be making wedding clothes for His Highness the Crown Prince again.
Indeed, once this matter is advanced and if the Zhengshitang proposes it, it will also cause His Highness the Prince that the Zhengshitang is also keen on this matter. There is a possibility that His Highness the Prince will reveal his trump card early.
However, this is not a statement. Once His Highness the Crown Prince puts the issue of military expansion on the agenda...at that time, there will be the temptation of idle land in the military camp, and the entire court is likely to abort His Highness the Crown Prince's military expansion proposal.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Bianliang Forbidden Army originally numbered nearly 200,000. Now, after years of digestion, including the triumphant new army, the Bianliang garrison is less than 150,000. The veteran believes that the Bianliang garrison can be dismantled and merged, and the air force barracks can be vacated.
spare."
Lao Wen... Wen Yanbo... Wen Kuanfu! You can do it!
Zhao Xi looked at his husband-in-law, just for a look. This matter requires his father to make a decision, unless he has a different opinion.
Zhao Xi liked hearing about this kind of thing, so how could he have different opinions?
As for how the idle land will be used in the end, it depends on each individual's ability.
Zhao Zhen looked at his son and wondered if his son had communicated well with the Political Affairs Hall, otherwise how could Wen Yanbo have made such a proposal.
Unfortunately, although he saw it, his son did not make eye contact with him. He was very confused...~
In any case, Zhao Zhen felt that this was a good thing and seemed to be developing according to his son's plan.
But... it's still a simple word. I want to say more, but I am too tired. My companion is tired, and he is tired too.
How dare Zhao Xi make eye contact with his father!
He would rather his father remain doubtful, or even the more doubtful the better, so that the political hall can proceed with peace of mind, which is good.
This situation made Wen Yanbo even more confused.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not express his position, Wen Yanbo took this into consideration, but why the officials would be confused, he couldn't figure it out.
Judging from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's refusal to abdicate, His Royal Highness's filial piety is absolutely sincere. In such a situation, Wen Yanbo did not think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan would be hidden from the Official Family.
Continuously mentioning it will cause the official to overthink, which is not conducive to the official's recovery.
This requires His Royal Highness to let the officials know all the results in advance to avoid increasing the officials' worries.
Regardless of whether His Highness the Crown Prince agrees, has different opinions, or is just playing into his heart, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince communicates with the officials, even if it is eye contact, Wen Yanbo can capture some information, but now, there is actually no expression.
Is it possible that His Highness the Crown Prince is really just training the personal guards for the civil servants this time and has no other intentions?
