The Han Dynasty restored the system of guard generals in the Han Dynasty, but this was just a false title. In fact, Ren Zhong had been disarmed and returned to his fields since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty in Jiangling. However, the Han army still lacked experienced veterans, so Li Xingchen kept him. In Jiankang Prefecture, although the title of General Wei is great, he actually plays the role of a senior military strategist.
Now that Xiao Mohe is not here and Yang Su is not here either, General Ren Zhong can no longer sit idle.
Shen Wuhua was startled for a moment and hurriedly asked the palace maid to pass on the order.
This is the first time that the Queen has truly exercised her power to supervise the country since His Majesty went north!
Lechang glanced at his sleeping son and shook his head.
Of course it cannot be you who sits on the throne.
Of course, Lechang would not break the fundamental principle that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Even she usually read the memorials submitted by the Central Publishing House. However, this unspoken rule was tacitly understood by everyone. If it were really revealed, On the surface, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the court and even among the people.
Now that the Han Dynasty has begun to implement the system of educating people in academies, the folk and rural areas have begun to participate more and more in the political affairs of the Han Dynasty. Everyone sees the opportunity to make progress, so they are more willing to see the policies of the imperial court. Speaking out against the current situation when there are any problems also means that every word and deed of the court in the future may arouse intense discussions between the government and the opposition.
As a queen, Lechang has to be careful about her words and deeds.
But if he is not here and just puts the emperor's eldest son on top, wouldn't it mean that the fate of the country will still be in the hands of the courtiers below?
What difference does it make if someone is on the throne or not?
Lechang frowned slightly, sitting on the throne with the emperor's eldest son?
Isn’t it also weird?
Shen Wuhua next to him was obviously aware of this problem.
It is necessary to summon the ministers. There may have been some communication and contact between the ministers, but it is only a connection between various small groups, and their attitudes towards each other are still elusive. This is likely to cause greater problems. Misunderstandings and conflicts are something Lechang should try his best to avoid. But Lechang cannot come forward. Will these people cause any trouble in the court?
"Queen, your majesty is in urgent need of 800 miles." A chamberlain walked in quickly.
"Where has His Majesty gone?" Lechang asked hurriedly.
When she heard the news about Li Xingchen, she felt like she had taken a reassurance.
At critical times, you still have to listen to the ideas of the men in your family.
Shen Wuhua also stood up in a hurry.
At this time, Li Xingchen sent eight hundred miles to send documents to Lechang urgently. Why?
"We have passed Jiangling now and are going down the river. As long as the weather does not drop suddenly and the river is not frozen, we will reach Jiankang Prefecture within ten days at the speed of the five-toothed ship!" the chamberlain hurriedly replied, "This is To carry out the royal decree, please accept the decree!"
Lechang and Shen Wuhua hurriedly saluted and accepted the order.
"According to His Majesty's wishes," Lechang said solemnly, "Draw the curtain?"
Shen Wuhua took a deep breath: "Queen, do you dare?"
Lechang waved his hand: "The situation is urgent, what else is there to dare and not dare to do?"
Li Xingchen did give a good idea, listening to politics behind the curtain.
Historically, Empress Dowager Cixi was not the first to listen to politics behind the curtain. As early as the pre-Qin Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xuan had listened to politics and even directly led the rule of the Qin State. However, because of the mixed reputation of Empress Dowager Xuan, when Empress Lu listened to politics later, in order to express herself Representing the harem, he just followed the advice and lowered a curtain to separate himself from the court and the front hall.
Later, the Queen Mother of Liang in the late Han Dynasty and the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty in history all listened to politics behind the curtain.
Therefore, listening to politics behind the curtain is not a new thing, but it is not something Lechang had the courage to do. Look at the people who listened to politics in history, Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Lu, etc., which one is not actually in charge of power, or even
Did it directly lead to the interference of foreign relatives in politics?
Lechang was born in the former royal family and was always cautious about his words and deeds. He really didn't dare to ask her to hang the curtain, because if she did so, rumors would probably spread.
But now that Li Xingchen's will is in place, it is naturally different. It is like a talisman. Since Li Xingchen has agreed, it is at least legally certain that Lechang will really come forward to listen to politics behind the curtain.
More importantly, Li Xingchen also directly conferred the title of "Supervisor of the State" on the eldest son of the emperor in the imperial edict. Therefore, this little guy who was not even given a name because he was not yet one year old and only had the nickname "Chang Sui" also had the title of "Chang Sui".
Reasonable and legal qualifications to sit on the Dragon Throne.
"Did you save the imperial edict by copying it to Zhongshu?" Lechang calmed himself down.
She never thought that one day she would have such an opportunity, nor did she expect that her husband would trust her more than she imagined, which made Lechang very nervous.
The power of the country and even its destiny are in one's own hands.
"Sister Shen, will you accompany me?" Lechang held Shen Wuhua's hand.
Shen Wuhua looked at Lechang, how could she not be nervous?
For this woman who has been in the palace for a long time, participating in national affairs is something she has never imagined before.
"I will wait for you behind the screen, but His Majesty only lets you hang the curtain alone. It would be really bad if I go." Shen Wuhua squeezed Lechang's hand, "Sister, I believe you."
Lechang looked at Shen Wuhua and nodded solemnly.
On the river, the naval fleet is advancing.
Li Xingchen looked at the separated river in front of him. There was a layer of light mist on the river surface, which made it difficult for people to see the front. Even the Han navy, which was proficient in the hydrology and navigation of the river, had to carefully send people to explore the way forward. If His Majesty's
Something happened if the dragon boat ran aground on the rocks, and the navy would really have to go away with nothing to eat.
The current position of the Han Dynasty navy is indeed a bit awkward. When the Han Dynasty entered the south of the Yangtze River from Bashu, the navy was the real main force. Without the navy, there would be no Han Dynasty that now occupies the entire southern mountains and rivers. Even after the Han Dynasty entered Lingnan, the navy was
The teacher also played a great role with the help of Lingqu.
But now that the focus of the Han Dynasty is moving northward, attention has also shifted to the land division, especially the construction of the cavalry and musketeers. The navy has suddenly become an existence that grandma does not care for, uncle does not love, and a large sea-going ship on the slipway.
Only one or two ships have been launched, which is not enough for the navy to cross the sea. The strategy of the navy to attack Shandong and even Liaodong directly from the waterway and cut off Yu Wenxian's retreat, which was previously formulated by the Taiwei Mansion of the Han Dynasty, is still only on paper.
On the surface.
In addition, the big man has no intention of looking south now, so it is unrealistic to go south to deal with the Linyi people.
This left the Navy with no choice but to watch the brothers of the Land Division eat and drink well, and treat themselves as a second-class person with the musketeers and cavalry. In fact, they were a fourth-class person, yes, just like Ma Run.
This time Li Xingchen went to the east of the Yangtze River, the Navy seized the opportunity to show His Majesty that loyalty and strength are both indispensable.
