The antagonism between civil and military forces is a rule since history, and in the final analysis, it is not determined by who looks down on anyone, but by basic interests.

Wenchen hoped that the world would be peaceful, and even if the lives were starved and starved all over the land, they would whitewash the Taiping and sing praises to the virtues, so as to show a picture of prosperity so that the civil official group could dominate the government.

The military generals are just the opposite, what does the world of Qinghai Yan of the Taiping River in the world use to win fame and increase official titles? Only by constant war can military generals control more voice and win more benefits.

It is true that the recklessness of military force is the root cause of the world's troubles, and the literati in power will inevitably lead to the abolition of armaments, once a strong enemy enters the army, the family and country will be in turmoil, lose the city and lose the land, and even suffer an unprecedented humiliation like the Song Dynasty, and then Shenzhou will sink and China will be extinct......

Strictly speaking, the danger of literati taking power and crowding out military generals is even greater. After all, the worst result of military generals taking power is that internal affairs are abolished, the people are not able to make a living, the imperial annihilation edifice collapses, and the consequence of civilian officials taking power is often to lead to the growth of barbarians and the abolition of armaments, and the consequence will be that foreign races will enter the army and the lives will be ruined.

The two dynasties of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are typical of ancient times, the civil ministers and the military generals are completely opposed, the civil ministers in order to control the government and their own group interests continue to suppress the generals, the Song Dynasty generals lead the troops to fight around have to follow a civil official "supervising the army", the Ming Dynasty military generals to accept the eunuch "building the army" of the strange system, the result is that the Central Plains farming people were enslaved by the nomads twice.

Even during the Anti-Japanese War, there were still a large number of literati who opposed the generals when the nation was about to perish, and there was a low-key club surnamed Hu who preached the theory that the War of Resistance was bound to be defeated, and even some literati said in the article that the guns of the Japanese army massacring the rebels were "very wonderful", and the self-loyalty of the famous anti-Japanese generals was also forced to death by those students who indiscriminately put their mouths open......

To be honest, the literati of the Tang Dynasty are actually very stylish. At this time, it was far from the beginning of the Song Dynasty that was the beginning of the civil and military culture, and many civil servants went to the battlefield to draw their swords and kill the enemy, just like playing, but the natural antagonism of civil and military interests made the two convenient to be in an opposing posture.

Chu Suiliang was so excited by Li Daozong's words that his face was full of blood, and he said angrily: "Death is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, if the family and country are in danger, why is Chu afraid of death?" Not to mention such a trivial matter as sending a fanbang! ”

His Majesty Li Er was displeased in his heart.

He has great ideals in his heart, and he wants to make immortal feats and create a great cause for all generations! No matter how well the internal affairs are managed, it is just another peaceful and prosperous era in the history books, as long as the officials are honest and the imperial power is concentrated, there will be no power between the backhands, what is the way? Only by expanding the territory and achieving the world's hegemony can we surpass the ancient emperors and achieve the reputation of an emperor through the ages!

Therefore, he stationed troops outside, attacked the Turks in Mobei, and expanded the land to the west to put the entire Western Regions on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so he wanted to conquer Goguryeo, which had not been conquered by the ancient emperors, so that his martial arts surpassed all the emperors!

And to achieve this goal, it is not only necessary for civilian officials to work hard in domestic affairs to make the empire prosperous and have enough soldiers, but also to maintain an indomitable enterprising spirit at all times!

How can an army without ambition sweep away the crowd and achieve hegemony?

In his opinion, the confrontation between civil and military is not a big deal, and civil and military checks and balances are needed, but if Wenchen wants to suppress military generals, this is absolutely not possible!

His Majesty Li Er glanced at another clan, Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong received the color of His Majesty the Emperor, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the seaport of Linyi Country occupied by Fang Jun is not just a barren land. Da Nang is located 30 miles away from the capital of Linyi, and a strong army can be stationed here to control the royal family of Linyi, so that it will not dare to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Moreover, this place is an excellent harbor, the local Brahmans are afraid of the Tang Tianwei and are willing to give a sum of money to build the port, not surprisingly, this place will become a transit point for the Tang Dynasty merchants to and from the east in the future, the strategic significance is very important, therefore, Fang Jun's move can be said to be a great merit, Weichen proposed, enshrine Fang Jun from the second grade of the founding of the county duke, the title of the pillar of the country, in order to show his merits! ”

Ooh!

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was shocked.

Founding county duke!

I know that you Li Xiaogong and Fang Jun have a good relationship, but you can't make such an unreasonable suggestion, right? Even if that kid has some credit, it's too far from the title of a founding county duke, right?

The Tang Dynasty has not been established for a long time, and all the princes are civil and military generals who have made great contributions at the beginning of the founding of the country, why is he Fang Jun?

His father saddled His Majesty Li Er for decades, and only mixed up with Liang Guogong, so Fang Jun also mixed it up all of a sudden? One door and two countries! Is the Fang family going to heaven or what?

Even if some ministers were eager to plead, they opposed it.

After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he didn't care what others said, he looked at his nose and nose, and his heart was not what he said, so he was silent and silent.

Hehe, Your Majesty wants to praise Fang Jun, can you object?

Wenchen was opposed, and even Cen Wenwen, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and others, who had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling, also admonished that this matter must not be done. The generals were all silent, and they all looked at His Majesty Li Er with faint eyes, waiting for His Majesty Li Er to make a statement.

His Majesty Li Er's attitude will be a weather vane.

Whether to reuse the civil servants to stabilize internal affairs, or to favor the military to forge ahead, will become the strategy of the empire for a long time, and all policies will be planned and implemented on the basis of this strategy.

This will determine the status of the civilian and military sides in the future......

His Majesty Li Er raised his hand, stopped the discussion in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is against it, then this matter will be stopped." Although Fang Jun has made remarkable achievements, he is young in the end, and it is inevitable that he will lose his stability, and he still needs to be entrusted with important tasks to sharpen his skills before he can become a great weapon. After I think about it and recall it back to the Jingshi, I will entrust him with what he can do to better demonstrate his ability. ”

Only then did the ministers stop, but their hearts were full of mixed tastes.

Who still can't understand the emperor's words?

The so-called promotion to the founding county magistrate is just a disguise, deliberately letting Li Xiaogong put it forward to arouse everyone's opposition, but in fact, it is to retreat into advance, and when Fang Jun is entrusted with the important task in the future, who can say anything against it?

The title of the Duke of the founding county has been lost by you, and if you block Fang Jun from serving as a high-ranking official, it will be a turn against you, and it will not only offend Fang Jun, the number one stick, but also His Majesty Li Er......

The supremacy of monarchy, as an emperor, can't you reuse your courtiers? Fang Jun's achievements are really put there, even if the emperor reuses it, it is a matter of course, but it is definitely not a blessing!

*****

His Majesty Li Er ordered the palace attendants to give some of the royal things prepared in advance to the civil and military ministers, and then drove everyone away.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs looked at His Majesty Li Er's uncertain expression, and they were all worried in their hearts.

In the final analysis, this time it was also the ministers who hurt His Majesty's face. Everyone can see that His Majesty wants to reuse Fang Jun's thoughts, but he has to take into account the opposition of the ministers, and repeatedly "treat" Fang Jun badly, and it is strange that he can feel comfortable in his heart.

Soon after, the East Palace received the details of this discussion.

The crown prince Li Chengqian sat on the kang in the side hall and said to the old minister in front of him, Su Shichang: "At this moment, my father must be extremely angry, those ministers, they really don't save face for their father at all, it's a bit excessive." ”

The fire is boiling hot, the tea cup on the table is fragrant, and the splendid mat is spread on the kang, soft and warm.

What he said was naturally that His Majesty Li Er had to recall Fang Jun back to Chang'an, and even the addition of officials to the knighthood was opposed.

Su Shichang was born in a family of eunuchs in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and when he was eleven years old, he wrote to Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to admonish him, and Emperor Wu was very surprised and summoned him. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he inherited his father's title and was the Chang'an Order. The founding of the Tang Dynasty, the successive governors of Shaanxi, and the military adviser of Tiance Mansion, is the confidant and adviser of His Majesty Li Er, and is one of the "Eighteen Bachelors" of His Majesty Li Er's think tank......

Su Shichang was erudite in his arguments, dared to speak out, and persuaded Taizu Li Yuan many times, taking Sui as a mirror, punishing him for extravagance, not forgetting to be frugal, and consulting the doctor. This person is as famous as Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling in Tiance Mansion, but he is low-key, his reputation is not obvious, and he is not known to outsiders.

His current official position is to advise doctors, and he is Li Chengqian's enlightenment teacher, and his relationship is extremely close.

Su Shichang is old and qualified, so he doesn't need to be sincere and respectful in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he knelt in front of Li Chengqian, looked down at the chessboard on the table, calculated the trend of the chess game in his heart, and said casually: "Your Highness is benevolent, how do you know that such a situation is not planned by His Majesty?" According to the old minister, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military is just a chess piece in the hands of His Majesty, playing with it in the palm of his hand! ”

Li Chengqian was taken aback: "Why did Doctor Su say this? ”
