"What's going on? Entering the main military department, does Your Majesty want to transfer the Hou Ye away? ”

"Join the military department? Then what is the half of my Tiance Mansion? ”

"Why do you want to join the main military department, not to crown the emperor and martial king? Let a prince be in charge of the military department, why is it so rewarded! ”

……

All around, the crowd was boiling. If you don't hear it with your own ears, you almost all think there's something wrong with your ears. And Xu Changhai, who was kneeling beside Emperor Wuhou, looked at Emperor Wuhou's back, and his heart was even more turbulent.

Emperor Wu Hou was crowned king, and this reward was far beyond everyone's original imagination. The Tang Dynasty has been established for 800 years, and there are not a few people who have been crowned kings, but most of them are thrones without real power. And Emperor Wuhou is now holding the Tiance army, and the power in his hands is far higher than those princes and county kings. But now His Majesty has made a clear decree to let Emperor Wuhou enter the main military department, which is to deprive him of the rights of Tiance Mansion. This is a typical light rise and dark fall!

"How so? Is it because of the Shangguan family? ”

Xu Changhaiyuan's eyes were open, his lips trembled, and his heart was in chaos. Tiance Mansion has fought bloody battles on the northern defense line, is it just for a position that does not enter the Tiance Mansion. A prince has become one of the six departments, this is the first time since the opening of the Tang Dynasty!

Almost instinctively, Xu Changhai felt that there was already a problem in the court.

"Minister, take the order!"

Quiescence!

There was a dead silence around the entire Tiance Mansion, and there was no joy at all, and even those ordinary Khorasan warriors who didn't know anything about the Tang Dynasty politics felt strange.

"Father-in-law, forgive Ben for talking too much, since Your Majesty has crowned the Hou Ye as the king, why do you still want to join the main military department? Isn't this in line with etiquette? ”

When the holy decree was announced, Xu Changhai stepped forward and asked. And what he asked, it was exactly what the people of Tiance Mansion wanted to ask.

Emperor Wuhou has taken over the Tiance Mansion since the first emperor's years, and in the battle for the throne two hundred years ago, it was precisely because of the Tiance Army in the hands of Emperor Wuhou that His Majesty ascended the throne and won several big chances. But now he was deprived of military power, ascended and descended secretly, and was delegated to the military department.

"Shenjiang Xu, this is Your Majesty's will. Does Your Majesty still have to consult with you when he decrees? ”

The chubby eunuch glanced at Xu Changhai with a smile and said lukewarmly.

In an instant, Xu Changhai immediately frowned. All around, everyone's faces became ugly. As the important general of the Tang Dynasty, the god of war of Tiance Mansion, except for Emperor Wuhou, no one has dared to speak to Xu Changhai like this, even if the other party is the personal eunuch of the human emperor.

"Your Majesty has sent Emperor Wuhou to the military department, won't you be afraid that our heavenly soldiers will be cold..."

Xu Changhai's tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and a slight chill bloomed, and he was very dissatisfied with this imperial decree.

However, just these words made the right prime minister Li Linfu and the senior father-in-law in front of him feel a chill in their backs.

Emperor Wuhou has been in charge of Tiance Mansion for more than a hundred years, and the entire Tiance Army has been deeply branded as if it is Emperor Wuhou's private army. Although Emperor Wuhou did not have any objections, if this will caused Emperor Wuhou to be dissatisfied in his heart, so he instructed the Tiance Army to do something...... At that time, I am afraid that even His Majesty's imperial decree will not have much effect.

"Changhai, step back ......"

At this time, an elegant voice sounded in everyone's ears, and Emperor Wuhou, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty's imperial decree, the minister knows, and the minister receives the order."

Emperor Wuhou's words were plain and uneventful, but in an instant, the surroundings instantly quieted down. All eyes fell on Emperor Wuhou.

"Emperor Wu, you also know Your Majesty's will, congratulations on your promotion to king! Since Your Majesty has a decree to let you rectify the military department, then please go back and hand over the military power of the Tiance Mansion. ”

At this time, Li Linfu, the right prime minister, suddenly spoke.

His face was ruddy, like a spring breeze, and he was full of smiles. Stroking his beard smiled.

"What, transfer the military power of Tiance!"

"Master Hou just received the holy decree, what do you mean by letting him hand over the military power now!"

"Emperor Wu Hou thousands of miles to support the northern defense line, how many soldiers have been killed and injured by my Tiance, Your Majesty will not reward it, and now that he is crowned king, he will deprive himself of his original military power and enter the military department that is already an empty shell!"

……

In an instant, all the soldiers of Tiance Mansion became excited, fighting for Emperor Wuhou.

That's enough! ”

Emperor Wuhou suddenly spoke:

"This is the will of the imperial court, it is the imperial decree of His Majesty, you have no jokes, how can you change it. Xu Changhai listened to the order, since His Majesty's imperial decree clearly ordered you to temporarily receive the four departments of Tiance, then, from now on, you will be the acting lord of Tiance until the young mansion master has the ability to take over the Tiance Mansion. ”

After saying this, Emperor Wuhou took out a golden Manglong token from his arms, handed it to Xu Changhai, and then looked at the high father-in-law in front of him

"Although Your Majesty asked the ministers to lead the military department, it will have to wait until after the ceremony of sealing the king. Ben Hou is still the lord of Tiance Mansion today, compared to this, my father-in-law and Prime Minister Li have no opinion. ”

Emperor Wuhou said in a deep voice.

"Lord Hou......"

Behind him, Xu Changhai looked at the Tiance token in his hand, and his heart trembled violently. From the time the holy decree was read to the present, Emperor Wuhou has always maintained extreme calm, but Xu Changhai has followed Emperor Wuhou for so long that he clearly noticed that Emperor Wuhou's arm hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly.

Xu Changhai deeply knew that the heart of Emperor Wuhou at this moment was probably much more complicated than anyone in the field.

"Lord Emperor Wuhou, this is nature! You are still the head of the Tiance Mansion, I just remind you, don't forget the transfer of the Tiance Mansion. Then I'll retire first. ”

Li Linfu was still smiling, and the anger of the Heavenly Ce generals in front of him had no effect on him at all.

"Bastard thing!"

When the soldiers of Tiance saw Li Linfu's back, they secretly clenched their fists. I was furious.

"Master Hou! Are you just gone! ”

In the Great Hall of the Heavenly Ce Mansion, everyone's faces were full of anger, and they were very dissatisfied with the previous holy decree.

"The king's order cannot be violated."

A mellow voice came from above the main hall, and Emperor Wuhou sat on the throne, closed his eyes, and said lightly.

"But if you leave, what will Tiance Mansion do!"

"Yes, it sounds like it's a king, but in fact, it's the main military department! Hmph, now that the prince is regent, he has vigorously implemented the system of festival envoys, and the soldiers and horses of the states and counties are no longer constrained by the military department, and this military department is equivalent to an empty shelf! Except for the soldiers and horses of the four major capitals, who still obeys the orders of the military department! ”

"Master Hou, you can't go to the military department, the current military department is not as good as the previous military department."

"It can't be said that although the military department is not as good as before, the garrisons of the various capital protectorates are still under the jurisdiction of the military department. However, the prince became the head of the military department, and this matter is indeed a shame. ”

"Yes, I agree with General Tiger Roar. Although there is now a system of festival envoys, they are all Hu people, and they can't just be just a few places. Not all the states and counties in the Tang Dynasty are under this system, and the current rights of the Ministry of War have not been reduced much, at least, the two governments and the four armies are still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Moreover, Hou Ye entered the main military department, and the Shence Mansion was under the jurisdiction of Hou Ye, which is not a good news for my Tiance. ”

In the main hall, the generals were divided into two factions, one faction that should not receive this will, and the other faction, which believed that it was not a bad thing for Emperor Wuhou to enter the main military department. Except for those few Jiedu envoys, the Ministry of War is still in charge of the authority of soldiers and horses in other regions of the Tang Dynasty.

"Jianqiu, what do you think?"

Emperor Wuhou raised his hand, interrupted the argument between the two sides, looked at the only middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian in the hall, and asked.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, but now he has issued a royal decree. It seems that Your Majesty's jealousy of you has not abated. Unless there is rebellion, otherwise, you have to take the post of secretary of the military department if you don't accept it. ”

The middle-aged Confucian said in a deep voice, and between his eyebrows, he seemed to be preoccupied.

In the last sentence, the middle-aged Confucian looked at Emperor Wuhou with a deep gaze.

Emperor Wuhou looked at the Confucian scholar and fell into a long silence, with a realization in his heart.

"In that case, let's join the military department."

After saying this, Di Wuhou fluffed his sleeves, got up from his seat, and slowly walked outside.

……………………

"Stomp, stomp!"

And at the moment when the Tiance Mansion read the holy decree, a fast horse galloped out of Zhongshu Province, and the person on the horse carried this order flag, wrote the word imperial decree, and galloped towards the south.
