Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4170 Enthronement is imminent
Liu Jie was very uncomfortable, but he didn't get angry. The current situation is naturally dominated by the military, otherwise we can't let them, civilian officials, charge forward, right?The reason why it is mentioned that the navy disrespects orders and acts without authorization is to pave the way for the future.

When the throne is stable and the world is at peace, the swords and guns will naturally be put into storage, and the horses will be released to Nanshan. At that time, the dispute in front of His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally be remembered by the Crown Prince, and he will then realize the military's unruly behavior...

Struggles have never been won or lost for a while, let alone a game between Wenwu and Wu in order to dominate the power of the court?

But right now I can't back down, and said with a frown: "So we just sit back and watch the situation in the south of the Yangtze River rot, which is very likely to lead to the separation of the north and the south of the empire, and the rule of the river? In my opinion, we still need to warn and punish. Achievements are naturally indelible, but we should guard against the past and learn from the past.”

Li Jing was a little dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Even if Jiangnan is separated, it is the Jiangnan gentry who have no empire and selfish interests. What has it to do with the navy?"

Both civil and military sides started a heated debate.

Liu Ji sneered and said, "This time it has nothing to do with the navy. What about the next time? What about the next time? With no center of vision, no prince in mind, and doing things on their own, sooner or later it will lead to a catastrophe. Who will take responsibility? Who Can you bear that responsibility?"

"Say a few words less,"

Fang Jun tapped on the table in front of him, and said calmly: "In the current situation, we should be consistent with the outside world, and don't use these insidious tricks to hurt relatives and enemies, okay?"

He is extremely dissatisfied with Liu Jie, this gentleman is naturally capable, as can be seen from his ability to manage the subordinate provinces in an orderly manner in the face of violent turmoil shortly after taking office.But this person also has a strong bureaucratic traits, too low level, narrow-minded, short-sighted, and a small structure. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was a good hand in party struggle, but it was useless to the country.

He has always been impatient with these internal strife, apart from depleting the vitality of the empire, what positive effect is there?It's just that people are in the court, and it is inevitable that interests will be entangled, but there is nothing they can do.

Fighting with people is a lot of fun.

In fact, it’s not okay to be in it…

Li Chengqian also had a headache, but he was soft-tempered, and he was unwilling to scold and beat his ministers at this critical moment, so he followed Fang Jun's words and dissuaded Liu Ji, saying: "Erlang's words are good, and the most urgent thing is to unify the outside world. We only need to cut off the traitors and maintain the relationship." Orthodox, when he came to the throne, he only rewarded him for meritorious deeds, and I hope that all lovers and Gu will rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty together, and live up to the great ambitions of the late emperor!"

The emperor hasn't sat down yet, what are you fighting for?
Cen Wenwen, who had been dozing off with drooping eyelids, opened his eyes, nodded and said: "Your Highness's words are right. Now we must not only guard against King Jin, wait for an opportunity to attack, and cut off traitors, but also put the matter of ascending the throne on the agenda. Arrange this morning."

The late emperor is now in Zhaoling, and has not yet been buried. On the day of the burial, the new emperor must help the spirit, otherwise it will be ominous and not in accordance with the etiquette system.

What's more, at present, the King of Jin is defending Tongguan with troops, and the future situation is unknown for the time being. Ascending the throne and confirming the throne as soon as possible will appease the hearts of the world and occupy the righteousness.

It's not good to delay.

Such remonstrance naturally won the unanimous approval of everyone present.

Li Chengqian was also very excited. He was one step away from the throne, the ninety-five supreme being, holding the sun and the moon in his hands, who could take it lightly?But immediately thinking of the sudden death of the father, the rebellion led by the pheasant slaves, the crisis in Guanzhong, the corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, and the selfish motives of the courtiers, for a while, I feel sad and weep.

There was a mountain of pressure in my chest.

If I can't stir up the backbone of the country and the country, and finally allow the rebellion to shake the country and overthrow the country, causing Hongzhi of Zhenguan to be completely ruined, how should I face the spirit of the father and the emperor, and how to face the common people in the world?
Li Chengqian believed that he would never be as tyrannical as Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, but Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was so talented that he made great achievements throughout the ages. He was spurned and insulted by the world just because of his eagerness for quick success and quick benefits, and he was classified as a "faint monarch". This shows the status of a monarch. It is really trembling, like walking on thin ice, and a little carelessness will bring disaster to the world.

As a monarch, although he has the world in his mouth and lives and kills, he also has to bear a mountain of responsibilities. If he can't benefit the common people and expand the territory, he will be infamous and infamous for thousands of years...

As for the process of ascension to the throne, it is not difficult. The Ministry of Rites has its own regulations, and with the assistance of Zongzheng Temple, it is naturally foolproof.

Liu Jie looked at Fang Jun and said with a smile: "Duke Yue's current position is Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Your Highness still needs Duke Yue to do his best for his enthronement. If you need our assistance, please tell us directly. He must go all out. But having said that, Erlang should actually be classified as a civil servant like us. After all, he no longer holds military power, so why does he always pretend to be a military leader? It’s a joke in the world.”

Youtunwei and Beiya Forbidden Army were put under the command of Li Daozong by the imperial decree of the first emperor. The highest general in the navy is Su Dingfang, the governor of the navy. At least officially, Fang Jun has no military position at all, but he is fighting for power on behalf of the military. ...is really weird.

There is a knife hidden in these words, and there is a suspicion of questioning Fang Jun's intentions. You are actually a civil servant, but you always covet military power. What does it mean?What's your idea?In addition, there was sowing dissension, calling Fang Jun a "military leader" in front of Li Jing...

Before Fang Jun could answer, Li Jing had already said with a smile: "The prime minister of the country, since he is on horseback, he can rule the country, and off the horse, he can calm the people. He is also a good minister in ancient times. Only by combining civil and military skills can he rule the world. Separate the family, otherwise, like this old man who only knows one way, how can he assist the king in governing the country? Even if we do it reluctantly, I'm afraid it will be a disaster beyond the standard and disappoint the king's high expectations."

Liu Jie blinked, looked at Li Jing in surprise, and said that Li Jing was not good at fighting, but what he said was a yin and yang, and there were good reasons for it, which made it difficult to refute...

Taking myself as an example, when he said that he only mastered martial arts and could not develop both civil and military skills, he was actually mocking him.

high level...

Even Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing with admiration, and exclaimed: "It is said that Mr. Wei is talented and intelligent, and he never believed it in the past, but now he looks at it. He has lived and learned, and he has always improved, which is admirable."

This is making fun of Li Jing's age. When he was young, he suffered from court disputes, but now he can refute it so that Liu Ji can't speak. It is really a great benefit...

Everyone laughed.

Li Jing laughed himself, and said modestly: "To be honest, although the old minister is not stupid, he is clumsy and tongue-twisting. He needs someone to lead him in order to keep up with the rhythm and say a few words occasionally. If you face Liu Shizhong with a drum on the opposite side, you can only bow down and go back to the mansion to be sullen."

Even Liu Ji laughed at this meeting: "I don't dare to be praised by Duke Wei. If someone in the government and the public speaks sharply, Fang Erlang must deserve it. After all, if the imperial historian of the Manchu Dynasty has not been internally injured by Fang Erlang? Today, when the censors impeach Fang Erlang, they have to think carefully and carefully beforehand, but they are often refuted by Fang Erlang, blushing and speechless."

The tense atmosphere caused by the previous civil and military disputes gradually eased under Li Chengqian's mediation.

Fang Jun glanced at Li Chengqian with a smile, and nodded slightly.

A qualified emperor must be a qualified politician. He can be ignorant of military strategy, ignorance of poetry and scriptures, and he can even ignore production and disregard grains, but he must know how to lead the government.

On this point, Li Chengqian has made great progress.

Of course, the reason why he fully supports Li Chengqian is not only that Li Chengqian is the emperor Zhengshuo, but also because of his cowardly and generous character.

The political system of a country is actually not that important. It varies from person to person and according to local conditions. What works well for others may not necessarily suit you.The "rule of law" is the ultimate model of human society, which can eliminate the shortcomings of all political systems and maximize the strengths and avoid weaknesses. Even if the real "rule of law" can never be achieved, it is a sign of the progress of human society.

He is tired of the centralization of power by the monarchy. This kind of system that "holds the power of life and death of hundreds of millions of people" and decides life and death with a single word is really undesirable.

Manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how wise and powerful the emperor is, it is impossible to cover everything. It is inevitable that he will be biased when he is in power.

This is a beautiful vision in his heart, otherwise, if the rest of his life is just to lie on the credit book and enjoy the glory and wealth, wouldn't life be too monotonous?
Of course, visions are called visions because most of them are extremely difficult to achieve...

Under the centralized monarchy system of hundreds of thousands of years, it is no less difficult to carve out a gap to limit the imperial power than to move Mount Tai horizontally for hundreds of miles.

But ideals, even if they are incredible and unbelievable, should always be there...

*****
After coming out of Zhaode Hall, it was almost noon, and the rain was a little lighter, but there was no sign of stopping.

The funeral ceremony in the palace has ended, all the palaces have been tidied up by the maids, the inside and outside are as clean as new, under the rain, the red walls and golden tiles pavilions are clear and new, the flowers and trees are lush and green, although the sky is gloomy , but it is also refreshing, and the mood that has been depressed for many days is slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to leave the palace and return to the mansion, two slender court ladies approached with oil-paper umbrellas. When they approached, they saluted with all blessings, and one of them said in a crisp voice: "I am ordering the Lord Changle, please go to the Shujing Hall." , I have something important to discuss."

Fang Jun was slightly taken aback, is Changle so bold now?

Dare to make such a majestic gesture in the palace, this aura is quite a bit of the unrestrained charm of the princess of the Tang Dynasty...

Of course Fang Jun would not refuse, he took an umbrella from a guard in front of Zhaode Hall and propped it up, followed the two maids into the wind and rain, walked along the rain-wet blue brick ground, passed through the red Wall palace, Shi Shiran walked towards Shujing palace.
