Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2804
Although the king of Jin is pressing hard now, since he entered the Ministry of War, this clever and talented young man has been unable to extricate himself as if he has stepped into a quagmire. The surroundings are only muddy ponds, making him unable to advance or retreat. , Li Chengqian's mood is naturally as bright as the winter sun.

"Recently, I have been immersed in the history of poetry, books, classics, and a lot of confusion suddenly came to light. I realized how ignorant I was in the past. I have regrets and remorse. I am even more ashamed of those mischievous and cynical things. no land."

Li Chengqian regretted his original appearance and expressed emotion.

Yu Zhining said with a smile: "No one has faults. If faults can be corrected, there is nothing good about it. Your Highness is in the prime of life. You only need to sink your heart into learning and find the way to live in the world and govern the country from the poetry, books, classics and history. , keep enriching yourself, naturally sit still and still have more strength, His Majesty will be pleased to see it in his eyes."

That was one of the few teachers His Majesty Li Er invited to Li Chengqian at the beginning. Although his family was deeply involved with the nobles of Guanlong, the so-called teacher for one day and father for life, almost all of his wealth, life, and future were tied to Li Chengqian. Naturally, I most hope that Li Chengqian will succeed in his studies so that he can inherit the great rule and rule the world in the future.

In the past, due to excessive pressure, Li Chengqian had personality problems and behaved perversely, which made Teacher Yu very worried.

Now that Li Chengqian is gradually on the right track, the disposition and strengths revealed in his youth have gradually stabilized, and his whole person has gradually blossomed into light. He has the appearance of an imperial prince, and there are Fang Jun, Xiao Yu, Li Ji, etc. in the East Palace. With the help and support of powerful ministers, as long as the stable development is needed, the reserve will be as stable as Mount Tai. How can we not be ecstatic?

One person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, this is not just talk.

In the world, how many people can despise fame and wealth?

After chatting for a while and drinking a few cups of tea, Li Chengqian looked at Fang Jun and asked, "Erlang is here, but do you have something to say?"

Fang Jun pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right. Your Highness is in the Eastern Palace, and he is the prince of the country. You should also be prepared for danger in times of peace, streamline and improve the organization of the Eastern Palace, so that when accidents happen suddenly, you can calmly and rectify the chaos."

The meaning in these words is quite deep. What is "the time of sudden change"?What is "putting order out of chaos"?Is that what a prince like you should do?

If someone listens to it, there is no guarantee that there will be no "unpredictable" remarks.

However, Li Chengqian obviously wanted to show his tolerance for treating everyone equally, so he knew that Fang Jun had something to say, but he did not hide Yu Zhining's back. Suggestions of this magnitude need not be avoided.

Yu Zhining stroked his beard, looked at Fang Jun with burning old eyes, and remained silent.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked: "Erlang's words are so transparent, you might as well speak them out."

Fang Jun was frank and honest, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is in the East Palace, and the military force to protect safety is nothing more than the Six Commanders of the East Palace. Now more than ten years have passed since the date of the crown prince canonization, but the appointment and dismissal of the generals of the Six Commanders of the East Palace has not been controlled by His Highness. In your hands, how many generals and soldiers under each command can obey orders, has Your Highness ever known it in mind?"

In the Tang Dynasty following the Sui Dynasty, in addition to the workshops and bureaus inherited from the Eastern Palace, there were still three temples including the prince's guests, Zhan Shifu's Tongjialing, and ten other temples.

Among them, the rate of left and right is the rate of the prince's left and right guards, the rate of the left and right Zongwei, the rate of the left and right Yuhou, the rate of the left and right prison gate of the prince, and the rate of the left and right inner guards of the prince.

This is the system inherited from the Sui Dynasty. The ten soldiers will perform their duties, including bodyguards, palace patrols, gate guards, and guards of honor.Mansion soldiers are requisitioned in groups of five to 12 people in turn. The guards in Shangjing are called Shangfan. They usually do farming and drills at home.

In the first year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu issued an edict, "The head of the army is the general of the hussars, and the deputy of the army is the general of the chariots. He also ordered the princes to command five generals and ten generals of the chariots." East Palace Fifty An army leader leads [-] government soldiers, and at the same time there are about [-] to [-] soldiers.

However, after the "Xuanwu Gate Change", His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne. In order to limit the power of the prince, he stipulated that the left and right prison gates in the ten mansions should lead the mansion, and the prince's left and right men should not lead the mansion soldiers.

The remaining six rates commanding the government soldiers were the "Six Rates of the East Palace" among the people at that time.

This is the armed force directly under the prince, and it is the symbol of the prince, so it should be in the hands of the prince.However, His Majesty Li Er is very talented, wise and powerful. As the crown prince, Li Chengqian is as weak and helpless as a chicken in front of his father, so he has always ignored the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, let alone intervened in personnel changes, making him his real subsidiary.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, swallowed hard, and said in embarrassment: "This... changing the generals of the East Palace's six ranks must be approved by the emperor. What about that, why don't we think about it in the long run?"

When it is clear that the father intends to support King Jin's fight for the crown prince, he still has to ask the father for the control of the East Palace Six Rates. Isn't this obviously embarrassing the father?And the success rate was so low that Li Chengqian didn't dare to go.

Fang Jun was speechless. There are many people in the world who are afraid of their fathers, but those like Li Chengqian who can be described as "fearing him like a tiger" are absolutely rare.

Every time I went to the palace to meet the emperor, I would be trembling and fearful, fearing that my words and behavior would cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, like a mouse meeting a cat...

Yu Zhining stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and advised, "Your Highness, the words of the Duke of Yue are very reasonable. Since you are still the heir of the empire and the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you should fight for what you deserve. Power. As a prince, you should be filial to the emperor, but you should also have your own opinions and insistence. If you are blindly obedient, your majesty will think that you have no opinions. Since ancient times, all dynasties have established and governed the country with filial piety, but Blind filial piety is not the only quality that a monarch should possess."

To put it bluntly, these words have only one meaning, that is, children who can make trouble have milk to eat. This is the case in the families of ordinary people, the same in the families of officials, and the same in the houses of emperors.

You have to say what you want, and you can't let people guess, so that you can take the initiative.

Fang Jun also said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. He is a Mingjun in the prosperous age. Only by cutting a bloody path through the thorns can he be able to rule the country and inherit the great position. Naturally, he is arbitrary and strong. How can he endure His Highness's indecision and hesitation? Your Highness just feel at ease and say it, and I think His Majesty will definitely agree."

The two persuaded one after another, Li Chengqian blushed, and after a long time, he turned his heart and looked determined: "In this case, then I will be presumptuous once, even if my father scolds me, I won't care about it."

Yu Zhining beckoned, and handed Fang Jun to him. The three of them sat around the table used by his "Jingyan", sipping tea, and asked: "Since the Duke of Yue has such a remonstrance, he must have already done it." Out of the follow-up arrangement, I don’t know if you intend to transfer Kazuto to the sixth rate?”

Although Fang Jun has always been reliable in his work, the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace are the crown prince's permanent guards. Once he encounters unkind people, the risk is too great, so he has to be cautious.

Fang Jun put down his teacup and said, "Li Siwen, the second son of the Duke of England, Qu Tuquan, the second son of the Duke of Jiang, Zhang Daxiang, the eldest son of the Duke of Tan, and Cheng Chubi of the Duke of Lu...these people are all They are childhood playmates, they know all about their roots, they are very close friends, and now they each hold military posts in the Sixteen Guards, they are capable, loyal and reliable, and they can be your Highness' arm."

"good!"

Yu Zhining gave a thumbs up.

Although he is well-known in the world for his knowledge and lacks in practice, after all, he has been in the court for most of his life, and he is used to conspiracies, tricks, ghosts and tricks, so it may be insufficient to ask him to make suggestions, but others draw the way to let him Checking for deficiencies and filling in gaps, but it can also be trusted.

"It goes without saying that the British Duke is currently No. 1 in the military. He has made great achievements and is in charge of the court. Jiang Guogong Qing is dedicated to serving the country and his reputation is well-deserved. Those of you who trust me, before the change of Xuanwu Gate, His Majesty was in a dilemma. He wanted the tortoise shell to divination. It was the Duke of Tan who snatched the tortoise shell, threw it on the ground, and said loudly, "Every divination lottery is used to resolve doubts and doubts." , Now that there is no doubt about the matter, is there any need for divination? If the divination is not auspicious, the situation is unstoppable. I hope the king will think about it carefully. His majesty is determined. Not to mention Lu Guogong, from the beginning to the end, his majesty is the most important The humerus of trust. Although Li Siwen, Qu Tuquan, Cheng Chubi and others are all the second sons in the family, they represent the blood of each family after all. Having them openly stand on His Highness's side, at least it is equivalent to conveying to the outside world that they are different. The attitude of the family is like a tiger with wings added to His Highness's reputation."

Yu Zhining was very excited. Once upon a time, he was on the verge of despair. He thought that Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince would be difficult to secure, and that he, the emperor's teacher, would be affected even more. Turned the whole situation around?
I know my own family affairs, I am better at Confucian classics but weaker in strategy, and lack practical ability, and Fang Jun is the best fill-in.

Now the East Palace is majestic and has a new look, great things can be accomplished!
