Today, I haven't gone to the palace to ask about my life, and after the conversation, I went forward, Cui Mingde seemed to be on duty, and walked slowly behind me a few steps, I saw that Ah Huan had gone away, so I stopped and called her: "Ah Cui." She followed slowly, half a step behind me, and said while walking with me: "Erniang seems to have something to understand just now?"

I said, "Do you remember the strategy that A-Niang asked us to write when we went to Songyue last year?"

Cui Mingde smiled lightly: "Erniang finally asked." ”

I pursed my lips and said, "I'm not asking you, I'm asking you to listen to what I wrote." ”

She looked at me gently: "Erniang, please speak." ”

I went into detail about the military studies, and asked her, "In your opinion, these things... Will A-Niang be approved?"

Cui Mingde tilted his head, and said after a while: "This thing really has to be done, but I'm afraid it won't be done well in one or two years." ”

I was quite frustrated: "Even you think this proposal is too big, won't A-Niang approve it?"

Cui Mingde turned his head to look at me: "I didn't say that Your Majesty wouldn't allow it." After a pause, he said, "Princess Luling thinks this proposal is too big, and His Majesty will not approve it?"

I nodded, she looked at me and said, "But Erniang thinks this matter is good for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will approve it?"

I hesitated for a moment, and then nodded again: "Ah Niang has been holding the country so far, and the government has always been arbitrary and unhindered, but there is always something inferior in war... Cough. ”

Cui Mingde smiled: "Erniang's proposal is indeed good, but Erniang has thought about it, His Majesty is asking about the present, it is the external policy, what Erniang said, but it is the way of internal cultivation, not to mention whether this matter can be passed in the council hall, nor how to say the people who have been trained, only the age of military students, according to Erniang's strategy, these people are either in the army has not yet come out, or they are completely unfamiliar with military affairs, and now most of them are in their early twenties. It will take at least one or two years to prepare for such things, and Your Majesty is already over sixty years old, so he may not be able to plan with great interest for the unknown things that will be more than ten years from now; the soldiers and men have a lot of voices, and the so-called 'excellent generals' have no benefit, but they are just a false name, and I am afraid that everyone will compete for them, not to mention that there are many conveniences? If the main general is fair, the people chosen will be good, and if the main general is unfair, it is easy to make the army's morale unstable, and the government soldiers are mostly in, once there is a change, Ziwei will be uneasy. Military students are known as 'protégés of the Son of Heaven,' but Your Majesty alone can take care of everything? Not to mention that the selection of people and examinations will eventually fall into the hands of the ministers; originally the border generals were appointed to the prime minister in order to reward the military merits with officials and make the generals separate, but now that the border generals have arrived in the DPRK and the Central Committee, they can also communicate with the military through military studies. Cultivating cronies, and many people in the military academy are the children of officials, their parents are good friends, and they have been classmates in school for many years, and their friendship is deeper, if there is nothing to do in the future, if there is a future together, and they enter the court together, and join hands, how can Your Majesty feel at ease? It's not that these things must happen, it's just... His Majesty has firmly grasped the affairs of the military state, and there is no reason to bother to make these changes that do not know the result. ”

I didn't give up: "But you just said again, A-Niang... Maybe it's not accurate?"

She looked at me: "If someone else is on such a sparse note, most of them can get a few words of praise from His Majesty, or give some objects, or pay attention to the promotion, and then put this letter in the high cabinet, and don't ask again." ”

I said, "What if it's me?" My mother didn't even let me play, of course, for my own good, and didn't want people to mistakenly think that I was meddling in the government, but it also showed how light the weight of my policy was.

Cui Mingde stared at me: "Parents in the world, if there is no conflict of interest, who doesn't want their children to be good? This policy is from the hand of Erniang, even if it is written in general, Your Majesty will think it is good, not to mention that these ideas are indeed unprecedentedly good ideas." ”

I was taken aback by her sudden compliment, scratched my head and said, "It's not as good as you say..."

She smiled lightly: "In some merchant families, when the children grow up, the elders in the family will give them some money to let them go out to do business, not to seek a big harvest, but to familiarize them with the journey from south to north and to be familiar with the family industry. The family of the official eunuch is not able to obtain high quality for his children from the beginning, and he must be selected to the state and county, and he has been trained for several years before he can progress step by step. Although Erniang is a daughter, His Majesty's teaching cultivates Erniang, but he may not lose his son, and Erniang's patience is far better than that of the ministers of the court, so I say that His Majesty may not allow it. ”

I realized: "You mean, if I change this strategy again, make the battle smaller, and present it to Ah Niang again?"

Cui Mingde said: "Erniang is not writing a song, but a strategy, the song must go through the Taiwan Pavilion, to enter the file to keep the bottom, but the strategy is just a mother to her daughter's homework, a bad time, change it and then hand it in, maybe it's good? Princess Luling lost her mother since she was a child, and she was not favored by her father, so she never thought of the father and son of the monarch and minister, but she never thought that the parents were not only strict to their children, even if they were saints, they might not consider everything so utilitarian. ”

I frowned and said, "If you mean to ask A-Niang for money, silk slaves, and maids, I will believe you, but this is the government." Niang... I don't even want people to know about it, and if I ask for it, I may not be able to get any favor. "I know that my mother is for my good, she is the mother of Li Sheng and Li Rui, and her name is occupied there, even if the Li family is on the throne, she is also the mother of the Son of Heaven, and many people still believe that the mother is exercising the power of the Queen Mother, replacing the Li Son of Heaven in charge of the family. And I'm different, in a sense, although I'm Li in blood, I'm ten out of ten people with a foreign surname in terms of name. Perhaps in terms of the ethics of this age, women are only valuable if they give birth to a man. Even this female emperor, the only one from ancient times to the present, is no exception.

I suddenly felt very sad, in addition to sadness, I was a little angry, my hand was unconsciously raised, and I was held by Cui Mingde, she stared at me: "In the affairs of the court, do you want to participate in the affairs of the government?"

I was stunned and didn't answer immediately, she exerted a little force, and looked at me without blinking: "A few years ago, Erniang didn't hesitate so much. Many years later, before she was too late, Erniang also said a lot of things to change the system of the world. Dugu Shao heard Erniang's words, and he stayed awake all night, pestering me to discuss, saying that Erniang is a person who can be friends, and now Erniang herself has forgotten it first?"

I was a little ashamed of her: "Before... Didn't find any of these things... So much is involved. "This is no longer a matter of the cruelty of power, every move of the upper reaches can change the fate of countless people below, taxes, forced labor, wars... I have to pester my mother, it is easy to practice these things, but those who have suffered losses because of my "practice" have nowhere to redress their grievances. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, but cooking a small fresh is improper, at most it is a loss of a pot of ingredients, and governing a big country is improper, but it is a funeral for tens of millions of people.

Cui Mingde let go of my hand: "Erniang thinks that those ministers in the court will be prime ministers and Taiwan officials since they were born? Those members of the court are absent, just to let the people above behave nonsense? The ruling has a sense of awe, and has no scruples compared to the ruling government, which is good and which is bad, Erniang can always distinguish it? As for the ability, if you don't do it, how can you see whether you have the ability? Not to mention that there is still Your Majesty in everything. Her eyes suddenly flickered: "Having a pro-aunt like Your Majesty may not be a blessing for Erniang's brothers, but it is a great luck for Erniang." 166 Reading Network
