Chapter 882 The old emperor is already in the atmosphere
"Nothing!"
When the cabinet heard the sound of killing outside, it changed its face immediately. When it was learned that it was the nobles who tried to humiliate the Duke of Qin, they were blocked outside the arch and filed a charge of treason. The four prime ministers were so angry that their faces turned pale.
Are all the honors?
impossible!
"How much underestimated others, and dared to seek death like this?" Liu Daxia was also very irritable and cursed, "What is Zhang Mao doing?"
"What are you doing when you rebel?" Li Dongyang couldn't help but say sarcastically.
The Guixuns invited the Duke of Qin no matter where they were, their purpose was to the emperor personally join the twenty-six guards. Obviously, the Guixuns wanted to either reach an agreement with the Duke of Qin or find a way to make him submit, so as to control the 100,000 army of the 26 guards.
This was originally in conflict with the interests of the cabinet. Although they did not mind that the nobles had some military power, they firmly opposed the nobles' group's possession of most of the pro-military forces.
What's more, Zhang Mao had just come to the cabinet and swore with them that the common enemy was the Western Army, and they had to work together to drive the Western Army out of the capital first, and then allocate the power to form the twenty-six guards.
"I deserve it!" Liu Jian waved his hand and simply ignored him.
"No matter whether it is not possible, the Western Army must take action against the cabinet after the domestication of the nobles. The nobles are extremely yearning for restoring the glory of their ancestors, or mastering some of the military forces, and they will never give up. Military has always been the most sensitive core interest of the emperor. Therefore, the nobles are in the cabinet and the ministers, and the emperor can try their best to keep the core interests together with the emperor." Xie Qianzu had the most resourceful consideration. He decided decisively, "We not only have to go, but also to resolve the powerful impact of the Western Army on the nobles as much as possible, and try to ensure that the strength of the nobles will not be weakened."
Is it possible?
Probably not at all.
"This is a dead end. Since the nobles want to humiliate the Western Army, how could they not pay a price? When we go, the Western Army has a great opportunity to further limit us." Liu Jian said, "The most important thing is that the nobles are demonstrating to Your Majesty. The Western Army is the heroes who have returned from escorts. They humiliate others, which is equivalent to showing your Majesty their presence. Your Majesty will not stand on their side. If we go, Your Majesty will think that the cabinet is on the side of the nobles. If we do, the administrative power of the cabinet will be weakened. Is this what you want to see, or is it the civil service group willing to see?"
Then you can't watch Guixun being destroyed, right?
"It is unlikely that the Duke of Qin is young, but it is not that he does not understand the court. The power of the nobles cannot be destroyed in one go. This time, it is just a blow to those who jump the highest," said Liu Jian. "We not only cannot go, but also have to consider how to get rid of the situation where the nobles come to us to come forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huai'en came over to pass the imperial edict with a smile. The old emperor said that the cabinet had to go over and persuade the fight.
"Please, please." Huai'en smiled very much.
The four prime ministers sighed together, and they were sure that the old emperor would take the opportunity to calculate the government orders of the cabinet.
But they didn't understand why the old emperor did this. Should they take the opportunity to limit the Western Army's fundamental interests that were not the emperor?
Yes, but they don’t plan to be emperor anymore. Even the emperor doesn’t want to be emperor anymore, what do you want to do if you want others to do?
"I dare to bet that there is still a plan behind this. Guixun cannot be eliminated. The civil service group still needs to use it. Therefore, the purpose of Wei Yang's move this time is just to make them pay a price. This price may be money, power, and maybe... well, reputation." After eating the tortillas, the old emperor clapped his hands and said to Li Fang, "A moment the person who invited the orders came, you said that I was in seclusion, and the Western Army's handling was very suitable for me, that's it."
Li Fang smiled and said, "The general has always respected him one foot and he respected him one foot. The old emperor has great trust in the general, so naturally they will not make the old emperor ugly."
"This is the truth, guess what will happen next?" The old emperor was very interested.
Where can Li Fang guess? I'm afraid everyone can't guess it?
"I have some speculations, look at it, those in the cabinet are going to be embarrassing, nobles, haha," the old emperor raised his legs, hugged his knees and shook his legs, "Full-Don't forget that Wei Yang is now solving the problem of abandoning babies among the people and the people at the bottom of the country are in danger. He wants to set an example for the people in the capital."
Li Fang scratched her head.
"Stupid!" the old emperor smiled, "What is the most terrifying thing about the Western Army?"
"Five hundred thousand iron cavalry!" Li Fang didn't think about it.
The old emperor hehe: "You, you are still too naive. The most terrifying thing about the Western Army is not the army, not the economy, nor how many masters there are. What they are most terrifying is the powerful organizational force at the grassroots level."
ah?
"Also, the number of field troops in the Western Army now exceeds 560,000, which is not considered as the support troops or the departments of field hospitals," the old emperor smiled. "White Yang sent the news from them secretly to me. Brother Wang also mentioned this in his letter. In order to ensure the next battle of the Pamir Mountains, Wei Yang had to go back to Hami. For this reason, Brother Wang specially allocated two troops, one lurking near Jiming Post and the other hidden under Wang Shouren's tent."
Li Fang couldn't help but say, "The old prince is really..."
"Yes, Brother Wang has never been sorry for me," the old emperor smiled, "It was in the letter last night that he advised him that if he was a child from Xiangyang..."
That……
"No, the descendants of the old Zhu family are reluctant to leave this brilliance," the old emperor smiled. "The grandson of King Yue is also closely related to the old Zhu family's brilliance. In this way, Wei Yang will not make up his mind to break all this and rebuild another brilliance."
But wouldn't it be good if that's the case?
not good.
"You cannot be indecisive when you destroy it," said the old emperor. "What I fear most is that in order to ensure the legitimacy of his own rule, the future little emperor will not even have the courage to rebuild. The country and the people will always need to make a choice. When it comes to my hands, I must make a choice and withdraw from this stage is the most decent way for a dynasty."
In other words, the old emperor doesn’t know the future, otherwise...
If someone abdicates, he can still reach half of the wall outside the pass. Do you think it is scary?
"Old Emperor, I am not very worried about this. The general doesn't even care about his own power. Moreover, when he knows that his son has become the emperor, he is afraid he will beat him three times a day, and he will learn some pattern as well. Besides, the old emperor is ahead, I am full of confidence in the future of the Ming Dynasty." Li Fang said with a smile.
The old emperor also smiled and said, "Then I will lend you a good word, okay, pay attention to their next movements, and let go of other things first."
Is there anything else?
"Building a grassroots organizational framework is the biggest thing. Don't forget that the Battle of the Pamirs is related to whether the huge territory of the Tang Dynasty can be restored, and even more importantly..." The old emperor turned around and looked at the map for a long time, pointing his fingers in a place, "Here, the Western Army headed south, took this place, and guarded it. If the Red Hair wants to reach the Ming Dynasty, he must land here in advance, and our descendants will also have an extra point of land in the small Western Ocean outside the South China Sea."
That dot, three words were written on it, Karachi.
However, those three characters are black, and there are three characters written in the Ming Dynasty.
