I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 173: Conferred the title of Grand Master!Hundreds of officials shocked

The next day.

Fengtian Temple.

on the dragon chair.

The empress, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat upright, with an elegant and noble demeanor, which made people dare not look directly at her.

Boom!
With a bell.

Baiguan came out from outside the hall.

It turned out that the ones who walked in the front should be the nobles with titles.

Now, it has become Fang Xiu, the prime minister.

Then there are six ministers, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and so on.

After a while.

All officials stood still.

The officials of the non-party party all looked aside subconsciously.

I saw that the military attache's position was empty.

They seemed to realize something, and there was a trace of uneasiness in their eyes, and they lowered their heads hastily.

A few days ago, the Ministry of War issued a notice to recruit new troops across the country.

Don't even think about it.

The warriors whose interests have been violated will definitely use this to make trouble.

Today's court meeting is the best opportunity.

but!

Now there is no one there!
In this situation, there is only one possibility - Wu Xun in the capital is all under house arrest, unable to attend the court meeting!
There are only two people who dare to do this and are capable of doing so!

One is His Majesty the Emperor!
The second is the prime minister!

It is the Prime Minister who wants to develop a new army.

Not surprisingly, the person who put Wu Xun under house arrest must also be the prime minister!
I just don't know, whether His Majesty knows about it.

If you don't know, how will you deal with it today.

"Your Prime Minister has covered the sky with one hand in the court, if he controls the military power again, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Your Majesty has the world in mind. Now that he is forced to this point by the powerful ministers, he will no longer swallow his anger. He just doesn't know how to fight back."

"I didn't expect that Fang Xiu would be so daring! The nobles are under house arrest... Isn't he afraid of stirring up a mutiny?"

The officials of the non-party party lowered their heads, they all smelled the coming wind and rain, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

The maid's shrill voice sounded.

There was no sound in Fengtian Hall.

Just when the officials thought nothing happened today.

Qian Haonan, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly stood up.

"I have a book to play!"

I heard Qian Haonan's voice.

All the officials were shocked, their eyes focused on him, and they thought: Here we come!
on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong looked at him with cold eyes, and said neither cold nor indifferent:
"allow."

Qian Haonan bowed and said seriously:
"Your Majesty! I have been serving as Minister of the Ministry of War for two years. In these two years, I deeply feel that the military equipment has been weakened to the point of no return!"

"The sage said: If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are general, you will achieve success!"

"I think the same is true for armaments. Surrounded by powerful enemies, our army will be trapped if it remains unchanged! Change will lead to success!"

"Therefore! I implore Your Majesty to change the military households into civilian households, abolish the forbidden army and the Zhechong Mansion! Add the Governor's Mansion to lead the new army!"

As soon as this word comes out.

All the officials were shocked.

Since Emperor Taizu, Dagan's armaments have always been based on the Forbidden Army and Zhechong Mansion. Although there have been several changes in the middle, they are all aimed at martial arts and generals, and the military system itself has not changed much.

of course.

In the years when the wars were frequent, the number of government soldiers was not enough, and the imperial court also ordered to recruit soldiers from all over the country.

But that's just a special case.

Now the world is peaceful, and none of the surrounding countries have shown any intention of aggression. Suddenly, military households have been canceled and soldiers have been recruited instead.

And abolished the Forbidden Army and Zhechong Mansion that followed for 200 years, and added the Dudu Mansion.

This is obviously to take back the military power in Wu Xun's hands and hold it in his own hands!

There is no doubt that this move will definitely arouse fierce opposition from Wu Xun!
Even, it is very likely to trigger a mutiny!
Qian Haonan, a small Minister of the Ministry of War, would never have such courage.

The people behind the scenes must be referring to Fang Xiang as a deer is a horse!

Thinking of this, the officials subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu who was standing in the front with complicated eyes.

He already has power in the government, but he still wants to gather military power. Is this going to rebel against himself and become the emperor?

"Hey, the Fang Party has launched a crisis. I don't know how His Majesty will respond."

"Today's court will decide the future of Daqian. In any case, we can't let the Fang Party do whatever it takes like last time!"

"Your Majesty is tougher, coupled with the deadly remonstrance of all officials, it will definitely make Fang Dang feel scruples. As long as the Zhechong Mansions in various places know about this, it will not be so easy for Fang Dang to make trouble again!"

Among the officials of the non-party party, many people's eyes became firm.

They understand.

The situation this time is completely different from the last time.

Calling a deer a horse is just to show power and suppress dissidents, and the scope is limited to the court.

And changing the military system is tantamount to snatching the military power that originally belonged to your Majesty and nobles.

Since then.

Military and political power belongs to one person!
If Fang Xiu wants to usurp the throne, no one can stop him.

Dagan Jiangshan changed hands.

And they will all become ministers of subjugation!

Stink forever!

With this idea.

All the officials looked up at the Empress, quietly waiting for His Majesty's counterattack.

Always ready to lend a helping hand!

on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong looked at Qian Haonan with his cold eyes, and said calmly:

"How do you plan to change, tell me in detail."

The voice fell.

All the officials stared wide-eyed, looking at the Empress in disbelief.

What is there to say in detail?

It's not good to refuse directly!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qian Haonan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, saluted, and said seriously:
"First of all, all military households will be changed to civilian registration, and those who are willing to stay in Zhechong Mansion, or soldiers who join the new army, will be re-registered and registered. After leaving the army, the military registration will be cancelled."

"Secondly, Zhechong mansions are reserved in various places, and General Zhechong is still appointed by Wu Xun, but the size of the army has been reduced to [-]% of what it is today!"

"Abolish the Forbidden Army, and set up three battalions of the Five Army, Three Thousand, and Shenji."

"The Fifth Army Battalion is composed of the elite of the former Forbidden Army. The commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army are all selected from the meritorious service and appointed by His Majesty!"

"The Three Thousand Battalion is composed of Xuanjia cavalry. For the post of commander-in-chief, the minister recommended Gao Shun, the general who fell into the battle!"

"The Shenji Battalion is composed of the existing new army. For the post of commander-in-chief, I recommend Qi Jiguang, the leader of the new army!"

"Finally, add the Governor's Mansion to govern the Zhechong Mansion and the three major camps!"

The voice fell.

Baiguan could no longer restrain the shock in his heart, and began to discuss in a low voice.

"According to Qian Haonan, this Dudu's Mansion is going to be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses!"

"Doesn't this mean that part of the power of the Ministry of War is divided?"

"Not only is the power of the Ministry of War divided, but also the power of the Taiwei and the princes!"

"Zhechong Mansion is still retained, and the generals of the Fifth Army Battalion are selected from Wu Xun and appointed by His Majesty. It seems that Fang Dang has not planned to completely break with His Majesty Wu Xun."

"Even so, His Majesty and Dukes will never agree to this request!"

"After all, this is equivalent to handing over half of the world's soldiers and horses to Fang Dang, and there will be endless troubles!"

Snapped!
Next to the empress, the maid took a whip and whipped it hard.

"quiet!"

In an instant, the hall became much quieter.

Wu Mingkong looked around for a week, his eyes finally fixed on Qian Haonan's voice, and said slowly:

"Qian Shangshu's suggestion, in my opinion, is not bad."

"I will give you three days to come up with a detailed plan and send it to me. After I have read it, I will hand it over to the Ministry of Education!"

As soon as this word comes out.

All officials were dumbfounded.

It took a while before he realized it.

Your Majesty has compromised with Fang Dang!
From His Majesty's point of view, it is not a bad idea to use half of the military power in exchange for temporary peace and stability.

just
Has Your Majesty ever thought that after Fang Dang succeeds, he will definitely make progress!

Sooner or later, that traitor Fang Xiu will replace you with Your Majesty!

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, all showing distressed expressions.

After a while.

Minister of Rites finally made up his mind and wanted to stand up and say something.

However, before he moved, Qian Haonan spoke again.

"I think that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses! The chief officer must be loyal! In addition, he must be highly respected! And have the ability to strategize!"

Wu Mingkong looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked:
"In your opinion, who is eligible?"

Qian Haonan raised his eyes slowly, with a solemn expression, and said loudly:

"I think that among the civil and military officials, only Fang Xiang can take on this important task!"

"I implore Your Majesty to confer the title of Prime Minister Fang as the Governor! Take charge of the Governor's Mansion!"

The voice fell.

The members of the Fang party came out in unison, bowed and saluted, and their movements were uniform.

"I implore Your Majesty! Confer Fang Xiang as the Governor! Take charge of the Governor's Mansion!"

The rest of the officials were all shocked when they saw this scene.

They originally thought that in order to avoid suspicion, Fang Dang would definitely elect a Duke of the state to be the governor.

Through the Duke of the Kingdom, control the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

But did not expect.

They even directly elected the prime minister, Fang Xiu, to concurrently serve as the governor!

Military and political power belongs to one person!
What is the difference between this and the emperor!
Think of this.

All the officials looked at the Empress, thinking: This time, His Majesty can't make any more compromises!

next second.

They saw the empress on the dragon chair.

As always, his face was expressionless, as if what happened in front of him had nothing to do with her.

Just said in a flat tone:
"Qian Shangshu's words are justified."

"Fang Aiqing has worked so hard for Jiangshan Sheji all these years, it's really not easy."

"I have decided to confer on Fang Aiqing as Grand Master, concurrently as Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, and Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. I will grant permission to enter the court, but I will not be famous, and I will go to the palace with my sword!"

Baiguan was startled when he heard this.

Immediately, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and his expression was unbelievable!

In any case, they did not expect it.

His Majesty not only easily agreed to Fang Dang's request.

Even on the basis of the original, the prime minister was granted the post of Grand Master, making the prime minister rank among the three princes!
To know!
Although the Grand Master is only a vacant post, no one has won such an honor in the past 30 years!

In addition, there are also those who do not follow the court, praise without being famous, and go to the palace with swords, and no one has received such rewards in the past hundred years!
They don't understand why His Majesty would do this!

At this moment.

Many old ministers looked at the empress with a flat face and felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

Some young and energetic officials were even more heartbroken, shouting in their hearts:
"The ministers are about to fight to the death! Why did Your Majesty surrender first!"

but.

They quickly realized.

What happened today is no coincidence!
It must be the result of the discussion between His Majesty and Fang Dang!

Just don't know.

What kind of conditions did Fang Dang set for His Majesty to make His Majesty make such a decision!

Could it be that.
Do not know why.

All the officials came up with a bold idea at the same time.

"There is only one possibility for His Majesty to voluntarily give up his military power!"

"Your Majesty believes that the Prime Minister, who has power over the government and the public, is under her control!"

"What gave His Majesty such confidence?"

"You know, even ordinary people who don't know a single word understand the truth that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

"unless."

The officials seemed to have realized something, looked at the empress on the dragon chair, and then at the prime minister standing in the front, fell into silence while shocked.

at the same time.

center of sight.

Fang Xiu finally stood up, bowed and saluted, and said loudly:
"I will do my best, and I will die!"

After speaking, salute again.

The empress showed satisfaction between her eyebrows, nodded, waved her hand and said:
"I believe that after Fang Xiang is granted the title of Grand Master, he will definitely devote his heart and soul to me, the court, and the people of the world as in the past!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust! I will live up to my trust!"

Fang Xiu straightened up, cast a wink at the little empress, and returned to his seat.

[Emotion value +2000]

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong felt a little funny, and at the same time felt a little speechless, so he couldn't help but give him a supercilious look.

This scene was seen by several careful officials.

Surprised, I understood everything in an instant.

No wonder His Majesty trusts Xiang Xiang so much!

It turned out that they had already
now.

The officials who caught this scene were all in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.

The old ministers who originally wanted to stand up and stop the party, even though they hadn't seen this scene, had vague guesses in their hearts, and endured it abruptly.

Some young and energetic youths, with a look of righteous indignation, wanted to speak up for His Majesty.

But seeing no one taking the lead, he felt timid and endured until he retreated, without daring to say a word.

The court meeting, which was originally thought to be a battle between dragons and tigers, ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

All the officials saluted the empress together, and then left in order.

On the way out of the palace.

Needless to say, Fang Party's followers are all beaming with joy.

Apparently they didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The officials of the non-party party, with their own minds, bowed their heads and walked outside.

No matter how.

After this court meeting, Fang Xiu's power has reached its peak in Daqian!

From then on, the Dagan Empire essentially had two helmsmen!
One is today!

The other is Prime Minister Fang, who combines the three positions of Grand Master, Prime Minister, and Metropolitan Governor in one person, and is in control of a country's military affairs!

Prime Minister.

Fang Xiu just stepped into the yard.

Yang Yuhuan, who was wearing a long blue dress, came up to meet her, with a anxious look on her face, and said:
"Master Xiang, Sister Yaoyue's illness has worsened again!"
