Supreme Flower Wedding: The Empress Arrives

Chapter 357

Le Zhenglang was puzzled: "The Si family has already controlled [-]% of the military power. Even if His Majesty sent more to them, they wouldn't dare to take it, would they? In fact, holding so much military power in their hands is the only way to let them go." I'm rather weird."

It is a taboo in the imperial court to overthrow the master with high meritorious service, and it is even more courting death to support soldiers with self-respect.Since the rise of the Si family in the great war hundreds of years ago, they have been guarding Long Chengguo like a god of war.

It is said that a certain country once recruited them with the condition of becoming a king, and in the end they led the troops directly into the confidant of the other country. Since then, no one will doubt their loyalty to Long Cheng.Therefore, in the troubled times after that, it became the consensus of the emperors and generals of all countries that the Longcheng must be destroyed first.

Long Chenghua's family has a good relationship with the Si family, as can be seen from the fact that the Si family has produced two concubines in succession. Even the current emperor, Hua Qingyuan, is about to marry a daughter of the Si family into the palace.

But it would be a mistake to think that the relationship between the two is so harmonious.The royal family will never take their feelings to heart, and the reason why they value the Si family is also because of their combat power.If one day it is determined that there will be no more wars, the first thing the emperor will do is to cut off the military power of the Si family.As for how many children's lives their Si family sacrificed for Long Cheng, that was not a matter of concern to the emperor, or those who sat on the throne.

There is no way, this is the emperor, and one must have such a cold heart if one wants to be an emperor.

In recent decades, under the guardianship of several generations of the Si family, Long Cheng has gradually developed, and has solidified its title as one of the three major kingdoms.It was also because of the approaching days of peace that the emperor "finally" felt that the military power of the Si family seemed to be in charge of too much.

Seventy percent!

What is the concept of [-]% military power?
Except for the Emperor's Imperial Forest Army, Chaohua's City Guard Army, the personal soldiers of officials from various places, and a few soldiers of several other generals, the entire military power of Longcheng is in the hands of the Si family.

It's like hanging a knife on the emperor's head at any time, as long as the Si family has a different heart, Long Cheng will fall!

This is not alarmist talk, but a real fact.

Not only the emperor understood this, but even some members of the Si family knew it well.It's just that the position of the Si family is also a bit awkward. They are at a critical juncture where it is not good to hand over the military power, and it is not good to not hand over the military power.

After Jun Jiang explained it to Le Zhenglang, he still didn't understand: "Why is it not good to hand it over or not? Since you know that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like them holding so much military power, shouldn't it be enough to just hand it back?"

Jun Jiang shook her head and smiled: "You don't understand. Now that the military power is in the hands of the Si family, the emperor will fear them, but he will not touch their foundation. Once the military power is returned and they have no support, the emperor will attack them .”

"How could it be? The Si family is a loyal minister!" Le Zhenglang couldn't figure it out.

Not only he can't figure it out, many people can't figure it out.

"The Si family has held military power for hundreds of years. It can be said that most of the soldiers grew up under their noses. Except for a few generals deliberately trained by the emperor, almost all the remaining soldiers, big and small, regard the Si family as worship. The target. The Si family is known as the god of war in Long Chengguo. Their military power is not given, but fought. Even if the soldiers are not brought out by the Si family, they are almost all respected as the target of struggle. Such a high Prestige, even if the Si family returns the military power, if they want to instigate rebellion, they can still do it with a wave of arms. Do you think the emperor can't be afraid?"

Le Zhenglang lowered his head, a little sad: "So the Si family can only stand in a stalemate with His Majesty the Emperor?"
