Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2277 Military Aircraft Department

His Majesty Li Er put down the bowl in his hand, waved his hand, and his own servant came forward to clean up the leftovers.

Fang Jun also put down the bowl and chopsticks reluctantly, his heart was full of resentment: he only ate one bowl, and he was not full yet, this emperor is really selfish, you don’t care about others when you are full...

Secretly decided to try to avoid eating with His Majesty Li Er from now on.

It is simply to suffer...

A court lady brought the brewed tea, and His Majesty Li Er poured a cup of tea, sat there and sipped it slowly, slightly closing his eyes to cultivate himself.

Soon, there were footsteps outside the hall, and a servant came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke of England has arrived."

His Majesty Li Er opened his eyes and said, "Xuan!"

"Here!"

The servant turned around and went out. After a while, Li Ji, the British Duke, quickly stepped in and paid homage.

Fang Jun also got up and stood on one side with his hands tied.

After Li Ji finished saluting, His Majesty Li Er said softly, "Everyone sit down, come and serve tea."

Li Ji and Fang Jun thanked each other, and sat next to His Majesty Li Er, respectively, and served fragrant tea.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and said, "Tell me your thoughts in more detail."

"Here."

Fang Jun put down his teacup, organized his speech, and said slowly: "The promulgation and implementation of imperial decrees must be drafted by His Majesty, and then reviewed and issued by the three provinces. Produced to protect the development of the empire. However, it should be noted that military orders are different from government orders. Government orders are related to domestic economics, and they should be considered and discussed before and after the event to adopt the opinions of many people. There is no need to rush for a while, and there is a lot of fault tolerance Therefore, this cumbersome administrative process can minimize mistakes. In fact, the ministers of the Zhengshitang are fully capable of making the imperial elite stronger and stronger under the leadership of His Majesty. However, military orders are different. ..."

After a while, seeing that His Majesty Li Er and Li Ji were listening intently, Fang Jun continued: "One of the characteristics of military orders is 'quick'! Often news comes very fast, and must be made in a very fast time. Make a decisive decision so that you can respond as quickly as possible. This is the so-called "military speed is the most important thing". The military situation is like a fire, and there should be no delay for a moment, otherwise there will be big problems. The Eastern Expedition is a national war, and the whole country's attack To defeat Goguryeo, even if the military strength of the Tang Dynasty is enough to crush it into powder, but on the battlefield, any accident may happen, and how to deal with emergencies quickly and accurately has become the top priority."

Having said that, Fang Jun paused.

It's not to leave time for these two people to understand. They are both peerless generals who have spent their lives in military affairs and have unparalleled strategies. How can they not understand this truth?

In the past, it was just a leaf blocking the eyes and not seeing Mount Tai.

Now Fang Jun only gave some pointers, and the two immediately understood the core purpose of Fang Jun's words - the power of administration can be handed over to the Zhengshitang and the three provinces, and the emperor doesn't even need to make an idea, just need to supervise, the key If we keep ordering chaos all the time, the world will not be chaotic.

But military power must be firmly held in the hands of the emperor!
Delegate power to the political affairs hall so that it can control the government affairs of the world, while the emperor firmly grasps the military power. As long as the military power is in hand, the imperial power will naturally be stable.

It is impossible for the emperor to grasp the imperial power by himself. He needs an organization to carry out his will, become his arm, and assist him in commanding the imperial army.

His Majesty Li Er held the teacup and sipped slowly. After a while, he asked Li Ji, "What do you think?"

Li Ji nodded and said: "I think it is feasible. The left and right are just a temporary yamen. It can assist His Majesty in handling military affairs during the war, which can not only reduce His Majesty's labor, but also improve work efficiency. If there is any change in the military affairs of the country, especially the Arab army in the Western Regions, there is no need to send the general situation to the Liaodong battlefield to ask His Majesty to make a decision.

This was Li Ji, otherwise it would have been impossible to express his approval so easily if he had been replaced by any prime minister.

This is a blatant decentralization of power from the Zhengshitang!
Li Ji is like this. It is very appropriate to say that he is willing to be indifferent. In fact, he may be the most unsuitable candidate for the head of Zaifu...

This person has no ambitions, and he adheres to the principle of doing less and doing less, and will never be greedy for power like others, wishing to hold all the power in the world tightly in his hands.

In his opinion, the setting of this yamen will greatly reduce the workload of his prime minister. With fewer things to do, the chance of making mistakes is naturally less, and he can relax and feel at ease, which is exactly what he wishes for.As for other people taking advantage of this yamen to become important ministers with the same power as Zaifu, they didn't care at all.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Ji's attitude and felt helpless in his heart.

I knew it was a waste of time to ask...

His Majesty Li Er is 100% satisfied with Li Ji's ability and loyalty, but it's a pity that this indifferent, easy-going and unwillingness to take responsibility often makes him extremely annoyed.

However, from the beginning to the end, Li Ji's policy plan was in line with His Majesty Li Er's wishes, so he could only reluctantly continue to let him serve as the head of the prime minister.

For Fang Jun's remonstrance, His Majesty Li Er thinks it is necessary.

One can improve the speed of handling military affairs, and the other can ensure that the military aircraft will not be leaked during the war. There are not a few people in the imperial court who hope that the Eastern Expedition will suffer some setbacks, or even fail completely...

More importantly, this remonstrance made His Majesty Li Er see the possibility of completely controlling the army.

All military affairs were reviewed by the emperor himself, discussed and dealt with with his confidant ministers, and then ordered to be directly handled by these ministers, which made the military power of the whole country firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Even if it is set as a permanent yamen, the emperors will succeed each other in the future, and the military power will be monopolized, and because these ministers in charge of military affairs only assist the emperor in handling, and do not have the power to issue orders themselves, there is no fear of power dispersion. It has been in the hands of the emperor for generations.

His Majesty Li Er deeply understands that not every emperor is wise and powerful. In the past dynasties, the longer the country lasts, the more likely there will be those who are "longer than the hands of women in the deep palace" and "why not eat minced meat" Faint king, this is unavoidable.

The political affairs hall is headed by the prime minister, who handles the national government affairs, and can avoid the fatal damage to the empire caused by the king's incompetence to the greatest extent, and the world will not be in chaos.

And the military power is tightly held in the hands of the emperor, so that even the fatuous lord can guarantee that the throne will not be lost, so that those with ulterior motives will have no chance to take advantage of it, and the royal family of Li Tang will last forever...

You need to know that the political affairs hall has become the highest military and political department in the empire, and even the emperor has to be jealous. In this way, the military power is directly separated from the political affairs hall. No matter how hard the ministers of the political affairs hall are, they cannot endanger the empire. fundamental.

After thinking about it, Fang Jun's remonstrance has all benefits and no harm.

His Majesty Li Er asked again: "In the opinion of the two lovers, who is going to enter this newly established Yamen to take up important positions?"

Fang Jun and Li Ji looked at each other, and said in unison: "How can a lowly minister put his beak on such an important weapon of the country? Your Majesty still needs to make his own decisions."

"Why is Gan Gang arbitrary?"

His Majesty Li Er sneered, and said: "It's not like Mao Gong is so indifferent to fame and fortune, there are countless people who speculate in franchises and fight for power and profit. The ministers here are afraid that they want to slander me in private for my willful behavior and nepotism!"

Fang Jun and Li Ji lowered their heads, not daring to answer these words.

His Majesty Li Erlang glanced at Fang Jun, snorted, and said sarcastically: "Even if it is you, Fang Erlang, the reason why you offer this advice is because you are unwilling to be lonely and have something to ask for? Don't tell me what you want." Such nonsense talk about serving the country and being selfless!"

Fang Jun bowed his hands in trepidation and said, "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and his candle shines thousands of miles away!"

Li Ji almost couldn't help laughing out loud...

This kid is quite shameless, His Majesty's words were clearly mocking him, but he actually admitted with the cheek that he had ulterior motives.

His Majesty Li Er was also very angry, and cursed: "Look at your prospects! Isn't it a good thing to do your best to run a good academy for me and cultivate talents for the empire? In time, the former officials who come from your sect will be The Empire, it will be a matter of course for you to be promoted again, why are you in a hurry and don't know how to hide your strength and bide your time?"

Fang Jun nodded and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty taught me that I know my mistake."

But the expression on his face is clearly "knowing the mistake, but not changing it"...

His Majesty Li Er was furious about it, and after a while, he asked: "Shuo Ri Chao Hui, if the ministers pass this remonstrance, do you have a name for this newly established Yamen in your mind?"

name?

That must be there!
Fang Jun subconsciously said: "It can be called the 'Military Aircraft Department'!"

The reason why we offer this remonstrance, apart from promoting the separation of the military and the government, is it because of the title of "Military Minister"?

How awesome...
