Chapter 1208 1209 [There will be times when the wind and waves break] (5)

Liu Xian thought for a long time, but Pei Yue was not in a hurry.

It was not for the sake of the smooth establishment of the Firearms Bureau and the continued control of this weapon that he made such a tempting suggestion. Throughout the past dynasties, it is difficult to achieve a true balance between civil and military forces.

Naturally distrustful of military men, civil servants did not want the military to have too much power.

But if civil servants completely overwhelm Wu Xun, the consequences will be very serious.

Don’t you see that some dynasties emphasized civility over military affairs, which resulted in the extremely low status of military personnel, and in the end they even had no soldiers to fight when foreign enemies invaded?

Of course, the reasons for the collapse of a dynasty are very complicated and cannot be entirely attributed to the status of military commanders. However, Pei Yue always remembered one sentence firmly: do not go against the times and do not experience the people's diseases, so you love your people;

If they are fierce, they love their husbands and their people; they do not raise armies in winter and summer, so they love their people. Even though the country is big, if it is fond of war, it will perish; although the world is safe, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger.

In order to change the situation that Emperor Kaiping was once worried about, a ban must be placed on Wu Xun's relatives. This is why he made this suggestion today.

Restructuring the entire military official system is another procedure to strengthen the authority of the Xifu.

One step back and one step forward is the way to harmony.

After a long time, Liu Xian sighed: "What Aiqing said... I was indeed a little unexpected. I was surprised to hear it all of a sudden. Of course I support Aiqing's idea, but now that the two military planes have left Beijing, should I wait until they return to Beijing?

Make another decision?"

It’s not that he is timid by nature, but that this move must be supported by most people in the military, especially the two military planes, the commander of the Forbidden Army, the commander of the Beijing camp, the commanders of the border army battalions, and even the attitudes of the military officials. In the past, military pay

Distribution is an internal issue within the military. How to strive for greater benefits for themselves and their subordinates is ultimately a matter of discussion behind closed doors as a family. But if these generals want to look up to civil servants in the future, how many of them will be willing to do so?

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, the two military aircraft will definitely not object. At the same time, the subsequent military restructuring will be enough to attract most people's attention, so this is the best time. As long as your Majesty agrees, I will serve in the Fifth Army

After the reorganization of the Dudu Mansion is completed, I will personally report this matter."

His tone was still calm and calm, but Liu Xian was already moved.

Such a proposal that will offend almost the entire Wuxun Group, whether it is proposed by Liu Xian or the two Dongfu rulers, will definitely make the Wuxuns rebel. Only Pei Yue can suppress these arrogant and fierce soldiers.

General, but he didn't need to do this in the first place. Even if he just made this suggestion, Liu Xian had to show his appreciation.

For a powerful prince who is only in his early twenties, there is little dispute that Pei Yue will take charge of military aircraft in the future. This is the source of worry for the Empress Dowager Wu and some important ministers in the harem.

But now... he chose to take the initiative to stab himself, and he also planned to block the pressure from the military for the young emperor.

How could such a person have evil intentions?

Liu Xian took a deep breath and said seriously: "Pei Yue, I will never forget what you said today."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is the duty that I should fulfill. In fact, privately ordering people to study gunpowder would be a death penalty in any dynasty. Not only did your Majesty not ask questions, but he still trusted me as before. Even if it was just to repay your Majesty.

I have great trust in you, so I must serve the country loyally and unswervingly. What’s more, I have said more than once that I hope Daliang can have a truly prosperous age.”

Liu Xian smiled and said: "It's good that you have this intention, but I don't want you to be the target of public criticism."

Pei Yue frowned slightly.

Liu Xian waved his hand and said: "For these two matters, you can coordinate the establishment of the Firearms Bureau and the restructuring of the Five Military Governor's Office. You can coordinate with the other two magistrates and Liu Gongchuo to come up with detailed and complete regulations and pass them at the court as soon as possible. As for the Western Palace you mentioned

Regarding the transfer of financial power to the Ministry of War, I will issue an imperial edict to inform various places."

"Your Majesty..." Pei Yue smiled bitterly.

Liu Xian said firmly: "This matter does not need to be discussed again. Don't I even have this responsibility in your heart? With the support of two military planes and you, the resistance to this matter has been greatly weakened. I don't believe that the people below can still

What kind of storm is it causing?"

Pei Yue had no choice but to accept the order.

The monarch and his ministers discussed the details again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, Pei Yue bowed and resigned.

Liu Xian still couldn't hide his excitement, got up and walked towards the harem, straight to Jingren Palace.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

Although he is now the emperor of Liang Dynasty, Liu Xian has never relaxed his demands on himself. He comes here every day to greet Empress Dowager Wu and pays homage to Empress Dowager Wu with meticulous etiquette.

Empress Dowager Wu smiled mellowly and said: "The emperor does not need to be polite."

She soon noticed the joy in Liu Xian's eyebrows and asked with interest: "Why is the emperor so happy?"

Liu Xian sat down on the other side of the couch and said with emotion: "Mother, my sons and ministers didn't know that Pei Yue had such a big heart and courage."

Empress Dowager Wu smiled and asked, "Oh? Let's talk about it."

Liu Xian then recited the exchanges between the emperor and his ministers in the imperial study in detail, without missing any detail. He really did not expect that the stubborn disease that had plagued the Tian family for decades could actually be solved by his own hands. He was so excited that he could be described as looking forward to it.

Full of pride, she did not notice that Empress Dowager Wu always had a faint smile on her face, and there was no joy in her eyes.

Liu Xian seemed unaware and said with a smile: "Mother, as long as the financial rights of the Xifu can be successfully transferred to the Ministry of War, it will be difficult for a military leader like the traitor Wang Pingzhang to appear in the future. I can't help but feel excited thinking about this."

Empress Dowager Wu said calmly: "It's absolutely true."

Liu Xian finally noticed that the Queen Mother's expression was a little strange, so he asked: "Mother, is there something wrong with the handling of the children?"

Empress Dowager Wu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Emperor, there is something unclear about the Ai family."

Liu Xian said respectfully: "Please show me, Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Wu said carefully: "Why did you reject Duke Wei's proposal and not let him initiate this matter?"

Liu Xian said in confusion: "Mother, if Pei Yue comes forward, he will definitely offend the powerful military officers in the army, which will have a great negative impact on him. He is so brave and loyal in doing so, how can I stay out of it? Furthermore, my son and ministers

I feel that resolving this matter by issuing an imperial edict can avoid unrest in the hearts of the people. When the late emperor was still alive, he once taught his sons and ministers that the emperor should act openly and honestly, only in this way can the world be convinced."

Empress Dowager Wu sighed softly: "This is true, but don't forget that you are not the late emperor, at least you don't have his prestige at the moment."

Liu Xian was stunned and said softly: "Empress, I understand your concerns and know that you are thinking about me. But if I always stand behind you and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how can you make Daliangzi

Do the people believe that my son and minister will become a promising king? Doesn’t the majestic emperor even have the courage to stand on the stage?"

Empress Dowager Wu stared blankly at Liu Xian with firm eyes, suddenly feeling a little strange.

At this moment, her mood was extremely complicated, not only because the emperor's maturity and courage gradually took on the shadow of Emperor Kaiping, but she also always had an innocent heart that was not in line with the way of a king.

However, the young emperor did not know that the desire for power can devour a person's heart.

No matter that person is Wang Pingzhang or Pei Yue.

Empress Dowager Wu sighed in her heart and changed the subject: "The Ai family didn't want to interfere with your harem affairs, but I heard that you have been going to Mingde Palace more and more recently, and you have been somewhat neglecting the queen's child. Xian'er, the queen is

As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, you cannot be too cold, not to mention that for the Tian Family, it is a big deal to spread the branches and leaves."

Liu Xian was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't explain himself on this issue. He could only lower his head and say, "I understand."

Empress Dowager Wu thought for a while and said, "The Ai family has a few toys to give to the queen. Please take them with you."

Liu Xian stood up and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."

Several palace ladies followed Liu Xian and left Jingren Palace with the box in their hands. Empress Dowager Wu thought for a long time, turned to look at the female historian and said: "Tell Fan Yu to make proper arrangements as soon as possible. When the overall situation of the war in the Western Region is decided, he can

Dingguo Mansion has taken action."

"My slave obeys the order."

"Also, don't let the emperor know about this."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Just get down."

Empress Dowager Wu closed her eyes slightly, a look of exhaustion appeared on her beautiful face.
