Although the emperor has the right to decide on major military affairs, he also has to discuss with the political affairs hall, and my mother said "I think so" in front of so many people, most of them have been discussed with the prime ministers, so they will show such a tone, and Tang Xiujing, as the governor of Xizhou, has been alienated from afar into Beijing, and his mother thinks it is true, and he must have written clearly the matters including who is the general, so my mother came to ask us today, not so much as a gift, but rather a cultivation - and today's courtiers, if you omit their respective Shu clans, Shi clans, The nobles, relatives, Zhuwu clan, and Zhuli clan relatives are not subdivided, but they can be roughly divided into three categories: pro-Li ministers and Zhu Li, pro-military ministers and Zhu Wu, no one is close to them, only loyal to their mothers, or in other words, only those who follow their mother's will. And these people who are in front of the emperor at the moment should be regarded by my mother as the third category, and the weakest category. If the mother wants the imperial power to be stable, it is impossible to rely only on the two factions to fight, and there must be forces that rely on her closely, otherwise the monarch's decree will not work, and there will be no checks and balances. And these royal relatives who can only rely on the existence of their mother are the best choice, especially women like Wan'er and He Lou, who are naturally allied with their mothers - but I don't know where I am counted by my mother?

Cui Mingde's meaning is that he wants to take me as the head of the Lis, but my heart does not want to be completely classified among the Li family. From three generations to the time of the Republic in my previous life, my mother was the only female head of state. Before her, no one did this, and after her, the world has more and more constraints on women, even in the new era of civilization, the social atmosphere is still to despise women and respect men's power. As a mother and daughter, I don't want to be relegated to conservative Lee orthodoxy, even though that side is my paternal line.

I silently glanced up at my mother, saw her high-spirited and easy-looking appearance, and considered the words: "Who is the general, the military power, I dare not say anything, but this is a long-term strategy, and the matter of choosing a general is not only one person or one time." ”

Seeing that his mother finally showed some interest, he continued: "Since Tang Dudu has been sparse, and His Majesty is very willing, who will be the general at the moment must have been decided, so the meaning of the child is not in the present, but in the future. ”

Cui Mingde must have guessed my first meaning, and the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly, but unfortunately she couldn't think of what I was going to say next: "At this time, the person who can lead the troops for the general manager and go out of the town of Tubo must be those who are already quite prestigious in the army and can take charge alone, and their age, to say the least, is more than forty, in terms of military service, it is not easy to lead another ten or twenty years of soldiers, and the general who can be alone after ten or twenty years will be at most thirty years old today." Those who can be generals at this time must have made great achievements, and those who can become generals in ten or twenty years may not be known at this time. If we push it back further, it will be even more difficult to say who it will be in 30 or 50 years. ”

My mother raised her eyebrows and looked at me: "The world is changing, who can say what will happen in thirty or fifty years? ”

I smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to establish a foundation for eternity, so naturally you must make a plan for eternity." And Tubo has been in chaos with the Central Plains since the Sui Dynasty, and it has been a hundred years now, and many of the strategies that this dynasty relies on to fight against Tibet today are also inherited from that day, so I think that although today's discussion is now, if we can take the precedent of this time as the law for future generations, then we will live up to Your Majesty's heart of reforming and innovating and starting a business. ”

My mother stared at me, "Go on." ”

I said: "Marching and fighting, although there is a talent, but there has always been its own study of military law and military law, unfortunately the ancient articles and sages have their disciples, the establishment of a sect, the preaching of the saints, the study of the military book formation, but it is still their own understanding, not a sect, if you can imitate the article and poetry and other learning, in the country in the prison of a single study, for military learning, students are like the scriptures to learn the art of war, The military book, the Chinese style of the examination, is like Confucianism, awarded a military position, released to the experience, the imperial court to check its merits and demerits, the excellent ones are more willing to train, the inferior ones are reprimanded, and then according to the age of the equal collection, the next ten, thirty, fifty years of generals and commanders have reserves, then once the country has something, why worry about no one available?"

Of course, what I am talking about is an ideal state, and it is impossible to cultivate 100% generals by means of book investigation, just as the people in the Guozi Prison may not be able to become prime ministers all of them, the key point is that the establishment of a special military academy to train talents, one can give more people opportunities, so that learning is no longer monopolized by one family or one person, and the second can promote theoretical exchanges, so as to avoid wars and other things, and only rely on individual exploration, and there is no system, and the third is to show the meaning of the world's heavy military force.

Fang Jin's civil and military affairs are not separated, and if they fight well, they can also enter the dynasty as a minister, unlike several dynasties in later generations, which emphasize literature and light on military force, I don't know when this trend began to change, but if we can set a norm and list the "military" as a study as early as possible, maybe we can avoid such an atmosphere.

I think my mother would agree with me, not only because she established a martial arts after she ascended the throne, not only because the establishment of a military academy would strengthen her authority and support the generals loyal to her, but also because she was a successful emperor.

As an emperor, you can naturally leave a name in history, but what kind of reputation you leave behind is different. Although the mother changed to the Yuan Dynasty, she was like the founder of the country, but she was the heroine of the dynasty, not only did she naturally have some unspeakable disadvantages, but the inheritance of future generations was still a big problem. It is for this reason that I believe that mothers are more willing than men to have some pioneering deeds that future generations will emulate.

My mother sat up straight and looked at me steadily: "You have always had some messy ideas, but what you say is novel, if you really want to do it, you still have to list a list of Chen, and then you can tell if it is feasible." ”

When I heard this, I knew that my mother was already moved, and bowed down and said, "When my son goes back, he will go up." ”

The mother hummed, and only said after a while: "You can write a policy theory, and you don't have to play it specially." Then he looked at the others: "What do you think of what Tang Xiujing played?"

He Lou said: "The concubine thinks that His Majesty is Shengming Cong, and the governor of Tang has been on the border for a long time, and both of them think that this matter is okay, so it should be." ”

The mother nodded lightly, and listened to Wan'er say, "It is a concubine or has a word, but the concubine does not know about this matter, and she does not dare to discuss it, and she dares to ask Your Majesty for grace, and let the concubine think about it", and also acquiesced with her eyes, turned her eyes and looked at Ah Qing, and Ah Qing simply said: "The concubine listens to Your Majesty, no matter whether this matter is good or not, as long as Your Majesty says yes, the concubine will think it is okay." ”

The meaning of these three people is actually not far from Gao Yanfu, but they are narrated separately, but they are much more pleasant to listen to than his □□ sycophants, his mother smiled, and finally looked at Cui Mingde, this little lady began to frown and think about it when she spoke to herself, and she didn't let go of her brows until now, and she was looked at by her mother, but she didn't react, or He Loushi pushed her, and Fang raised her head and said to her mother:" Last year, Dugu Shao said that there were border trade and other items in it, and the concubine had paid attention to it since then, and the princess said that the two countries were at war, fighting against national strength, rather than simply fighting between the two armies, and the concubine also thought so, so she had some shallow thoughts, and was willing to offer a sparse and try to speak for His Majesty. ”

Seeing that our attitude was very upright, my mother bowed slightly: "For a while, it is indeed difficult for you, give you three days, and after three days, each will present a statement, for me to say - this is a forbidden matter, there is no need to talk about the court." 166 Reading Network
