Invincible son

Chapter 1208 1209 [There will be times when the wind and the waves break] ([-])
Liu Xian thought for a long time, Pei Yue was not in a hurry.

He didn't throw out such a tempting suggestion for the smooth establishment of the Firearms Bureau and the continued control of this killer weapon.Throughout the past dynasties, it is difficult to achieve a real balance between civil and military. Out of natural distrust of warriors, civil servants do not want the military to hold too much power.

But if civil servants completely overwhelm Wu Xun, the consequences will be very serious.

Didn’t you see that some dynasties emphasized culture over military affairs, resulting in the extremely low status of warriors, and finally there were no soldiers to fight when foreign enemies invaded?

Of course, the reasons for the downfall of a dynasty are very complicated, and it cannot be completely attributed to the status of generals, but Pei Yue always firmly remembers a sentence: don’t go against the times, don’t experience people’s diseases, so love our people; It is fierce, so it loves its husband and its people; it does not teach teachers in winter and summer, so it also loves its people.Although the homeland is large, it will perish if it is warlike; although the world is safe, it will be dangerous if you forget the war.

In order to change the situation that Emperor Kaiping was worried about, he had to add a restriction to Wu Xun's relatives, which is why he made this suggestion today.

The restructuring of the entire military official position system is another procedure to strengthen the power of the Xifu.

One step back and one step forward is the way of harmony.

After a long time, Liu Xian sighed: "Aiqing's words... I really didn't expect it, and I was surprised when I heard it suddenly. Of course I support Aiqing's idea, but now that the two military planes have left Beijing, should we wait until they return to Beijing? Make another decision?"

It's not that he is timid by nature, but that this move must be supported by most of the military, especially the attitude of the two military planes, the commanders of the imperial army, the commanders of the Beijing camp, the commanders of the frontier battalions, and even the relatives of Wu Xun.In the past, the distribution of military salaries was an internal issue of the military. How to obtain greater benefits for themselves and their subordinates was ultimately discussed by the family behind closed doors. willingly?

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, the two military planes will definitely not object. At the same time, the upcoming military restructuring is enough to attract the attention of most people, so this is the best time. As long as Your Majesty agrees, the minister will be in the Fifth Army After the reform of the Dudu Mansion is completed, I will personally make a statement about this matter."

His tone was still calm and calm, but Liu Xian was already moved.

Such a proposal that would offend almost the entire Wu Xun Group, no matter whether it was proposed by Liu Xian or the two governors of the Eastern Mansion, would definitely make the Wu Xun people turn against Yingtian.Only Pei Yue stepped forward to suppress those arrogant soldiers, but he didn't need to do this, and even just made this suggestion, Liu Xian had to accept it.

For a powerful state prince who is only in his early 20s, there is little dispute that Pei Yue will take over the military power in the future. This is the source of concern for the Empress Dowager Wu and some important officials in the harem.

But now...he chose to take the initiative to stab himself, and also planned to block the pressure from the military for the young emperor.

How can such a person be evil?

Liu Xian took a deep breath and said seriously: "Pei Yue, I will never forget what you said today."

However, Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is the duty that I should fulfill. In fact, I ordered someone to study gunpowder in private. It would be a death penalty for any dynasty. Not only did His Majesty not question the crime, but he still trusted him. Even if it was just to repay His Majesty. Since you have so much faith, I have to serve the country faithfully and unswervingly. What's more, I have said more than once that I hope Daliang will have a truly prosperous age."

Liu Xian smiled and said: "It's good that you have this kind of heart, but I don't want you to be the target of public criticism."

Pei Yue frowned slightly.

Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "The addition of the Firearms Bureau and the restructuring of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, you can coordinate with the other two prefects and Liu Gongchuo, and come up with a detailed and complete charter for approval at the court meeting as soon as possible. As for the West Mansion you said Regarding the transfer of financial power to the Ministry of War, I will clearly issue an imperial decree to inform all places."

"Your Majesty..." Pei Yue smiled wryly.

Liu Xian said firmly: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. Don't you think I don't even have this responsibility in your heart? With the support of two military planes and you, the resistance to this matter has been greatly weakened. I don't believe that the people below can still What a storm."

Pei Yue had no choice but to take orders.

The two monarchs and ministers discussed the details again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, Pei Yue saluted and resigned.

Liu Xian still couldn't hide his excitement, got up and walked towards the harem, and came straight to Jingren Palace.

"Greetings, Queen Mother."

Although he is now the Emperor of Liang, Liu Xian never relaxed his demands on himself, and would come here every day to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Wu, and his etiquette was meticulous.

Empress Dowager Wu said with a mellow smile, "The emperor doesn't need to be too polite."

She soon noticed the joy in Liu Xian's eyebrows, and asked with interest: "Why is the emperor so happy?"

Liu Xian sat down on the other side of the long couch, and said with emotion: "My mother, my son did not know that Pei Yue has such a heart and courage."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and asked, "Oh? Let's hear it."

Liu Xian recounted the conversation between the monarch and his ministers in the imperial study in detail, without missing any details.He really didn't expect that the stubborn disease that has plagued the Tian family for decades could be solved by himself. The excitement was beyond words, and it can be said that Gu Panshen was full of pride, so he didn't notice the faint smile on Empress Dowager Wu's face all the time , and there was no joy in his eyes.

Liu Xian seemed unaware, and said with a smile: "Mother, as long as the wealth and power of the Western Mansion can be transferred to the Ministry of War smoothly, it will be very difficult for an army leader like the traitor Wang Pingzhang to appear in the future. My son, Silai, can't help but feel agitated."

Empress Dowager Wu said lightly: "Extremely true."

Liu Xian finally noticed that the Empress Dowager's expression was a bit strange, so he asked: "Mother, is there something wrong with the son's handling?"

Empress Dowager Wu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Emperor, there is something that the Ai family is puzzled about."

Liu Xian said respectfully: "Please show me your mother."

Empress Dowager Wu carefully said: "Why do you reject Wei Guogong's proposal and prevent him from initiating this matter?"

Liu Xian was puzzled and said: "My mother, Pei Yue's appearance will definitely offend those powerful military men in the army, which will have a great negative impact on him. It can be said that he is utterly loyal in doing so, how can my son stay out of it? Furthermore, my son I feel that this matter can be resolved by issuing an imperial decree to avoid turmoil. When the late emperor was alive, he taught his sons and ministers that the Son of Heaven should act in an upright manner, so that people in the world can be convinced."

Empress Dowager Wu sighed softly: "This is indeed reasonable, but don't forget that you are not the first emperor, at least you don't have his prestige right now."

Liu Xian was stunned, and said softly: "Mother, I understand your worries, and I also know that you are thinking of my son. But if my son always stands behind you and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how can we make Liangzi Do the people believe that the sons and ministers will become a promising king? Don't you even have the courage to stand on the stage?"

Empress Dowager Wu stared blankly at Liu Xian, who had firm eyes, and suddenly felt a little strange.

At this moment, her mood was extremely complicated, not only because of the maturity and courage of the emperor, she gradually had a shadow of Emperor Kaiping, but also always carried a childlike heart that did not conform to the way of a king.

However, the young emperor didn't know that the desire for power is enough to devour a person's heart.

No matter whether that person is Wang Pingzhang or Pei Yue.

Empress Dowager Wu sighed softly in her heart, and changed the topic: "The Ai family didn't want to interfere with your harem affairs, but I heard that you have been going to the Mingde Palace more and more recently, and you are a little bit cold about the queen's child. Xianer, the queen is You are the lord of the sixth house, you can't be too indifferent, not to mention that it is a big deal for the Tian family to spread its branches and leaves."

Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't defend himself on this issue, so he could only bow his head and say, "I understand."

Empress Dowager Wu thought for a while, and said: "The Ai family has a few playthings for the queen, and you can take them with you."

Liu Xian stood up and replied, "Yes, Queen Mother."

Several palace maids followed Liu Xian to leave Jingren Palace with the box in their hands. Empress Dowager Wu thought for a long time, then turned to look at the female historian and said, "Tell Fan Yu to make proper arrangements as soon as possible. When the overall situation of the war in the western region is decided, he can deal with it." The Dingguo Mansion is on the move."

"The slaves obey the order."

"Also, don't let the emperor know about this matter."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Go down."

Empress Dowager Wu closed her eyes slightly, a look of exhaustion appeared on her pretty face.
