Chapter 19: The Minister of Order
There were some noises outside the hall.
Recently, Hanliang Palace has been lively again, and some little eunuchs and palace maids who think they are smart and have some understanding have begun to enter Hanliang Palace, move in front of Li Ping'an's eyes, and do some work to serve him.
Even if he saw Li Ping'an dancing his sword wildly again, he only hid far away and did not get close, but he was no longer scared away.
Li Ping'an's initial purpose seems to have been achieved a little bit by going crazy. At least, as an emperor, he lived a little bit like an emperor.
is not like a concubine who was beaten into the cold palace, or because of the failure of the rebellion, the prince was kept in captivity in the palace and could not make any voice of his own.
The five ministers who took care of their lives were so powerful that they should be the first to recommend the university scholar Sun Chaodong, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, and more than half of them were his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials.
I heard that Sun Chaodong had a big birthday last time, but there were rumors that it was called the 'Little Dynasty Meeting', and the civil and military officials who came were more complete than Li Ping'an in the Moyang Palace.
However, Sun Chaodong is now over sixty years old, and if this world does not practice any means of longevity, then he will not have a few years to live.
Tiansheng once had an ancestral system, and those who were officials could not be over ninety years old. Originally, it was not impossible to make an exception, but he was too limelight and too powerful.
It is a thorn in the side of others, and being old and not dying is a thief, and others are not at ease. If you find a flaw, you will definitely attack it.
So for Sun Chaodong, the most important thing now is to cultivate an heir and inherit his power completely. At this time, he must maintain stability, and all the unstable factors will be both magnified and shrunk in his eyes. β
"He will deal with what he thinks is unstable with a relatively drastic attitude, but he will remain quiet on the bright side, and even smooth out all the storms. β
"So... He won't come to me, he will only find a way to cut off all the fragile minions that I have cultivated. β
"He is the person who supports me the most to continue to be the emperor, but he is also the biggest obstacle on my way to power. β
Li Ping'an's tirade is like a kind of whisper, spoken to the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards inside and outside the main hall, who pricked up their ears.
They want to climb up, but they have no direction, like flies without a head. Li Ping'an's current words are undoubtedly a guiding light.
As everyone knows, Li Ping'an's understanding of Sun Chaodong and even the ministers who care for his life, as well as more court officials, originally originated from them.
It's just that Li Ping'an summed up and deduced the deep meaning that they didn't know and didn't understand, but they were only obsessed with some false appearances.
For example, I lamented that Sun Chaodong's birthday was called the scenery of the 'Little Dynasty Meeting', but I didn't see the danger and crisis hidden under this scenery.
"Just down is Chen Daoqian, who is the Taibao, who is famous for being honest and honest, loyal and courageous, and is only forty-five years old, he was valued by the first emperor, and finally elected as a minister who cares for his life, and the official residence is a product. β
Li Ping'an muttered to himself, but many ears had already been erected inside and outside the hall. Even some palace people who had no intention of taking refuge in him were curious, and heard that there were rumors that the Son of Heaven was evaluating the minister of Gu Ming, and when they heard the news, they quietly hid in the corner and eavesdropped.
"But this man, though he is loyal, is not loyal to one family or one country, but to the people of the world. At this time, he was in the prime of life, and he was an iron-blooded ruler, and there was also a group of people with lofty ideals gathered around him, in order to govern this Tiansheng Dynasty in an orderly manner. β
But it is completely different from Sun Chaodong's selfishness and selfishness, forming a party for personal gain, they are the sworn enemies of the DPRK and China, and the people of the two parties are fighting endlessly. β
During his tenure as a minister, Sun Chaodong understood the concept of locking up the monarchy and ruling the country by law. β
In addition, the greed for power is not only for fame and fortune, but also for ambition and ideals. β
Although most of the people in the world are the former, the existence of the latter cannot be denied. The contradiction between Chen Daoqian and Li Ping'an lies in the contradiction between stance and morality, and it is not a matter of interest that can be reconciled, but it is most likely to break out into conflict. β
"Sun Chaodong is for his own interests, as long as I am still a puppet, Sun Chaodong will protect me. β
"But as long as I block Chen Daoqian from promoting the way of prosperity and educating the virtues of the world, then even if I am today, he will dare to abolish the emperor and set up a new king. β
Li Ping'an's words, many people inside and outside the hall couldn't understand it. Listening to this description and evaluation, why does this Chen Daoqian obviously feel that he is a loyal and good minister, but he can't be used by the emperor, and may even be the first to turn against him?
In fact, the reason couldn't be simpler. Li Ping paused and continued: "But the magic of this right is here. β
"Some people take power for selfish purposes, and some people take power for the sake of the people of the world. But whether it's for public or private purposes, it's not a good thing for me. β
Li Ping'an took a sip of tea, moistened his mouth and said, "Then there is the third minister, General Han Yi." β
"Han Yi, the Empress Dowager's brother, my uncle. is not only a relative, but also holds a large amount of military power, these years to fight against the barbarians, resist the barbarian invasion outside the country, can be described as a great achievement. β
"Han Yi is strict in governing the army, and the rewards and punishments are clear. The art of war is profound, every time he fights with the barbarians, he will succeed in his plans, and he eats and lives with his generals and soldiers, because of this, his prestige in the army is very high, and those arrogant generals also obey him. β
"About half of the soldiers in the world only know that there is General Han, but they don't know that there is a son of heaven. If you don't have the heart to oppress the emperor, you must be tied up and killed. There has never been an emperor in the past who can tolerate such a subordinate. β
"Come to think of it, I'm no exception. Li Ping'an's voice spread outside the hall.
Outside the hall, a eunuch wearing a purple robe who came to hear the wind tidied up his robe, held the floating dust, and without waiting for the announcement, he went straight into Hanliang Palace.
"Then I don't know Your Majesty, how do you evaluate the old minister?" the person who came was pale, neither kowtowed nor saluted, his attitude was arrogant, his expression was arrogant, and he asked in an extremely domineering manner.
Although the comer is arrogant and domineering, Li Ping'an can also look at no one. Regarding the visitor's inquiry, Li Ping'an didn't seem to hear it at all, and continued to talk to himself.
In the eyes of others, it is crazy, and the strength is deducing, what is called 'crazy heaven'.
"There are two more, one of them is my Sixth Emperor Uncle Yang Qingyun, the Sixth Emperor Uncle is known as a virtuous name, when the first emperor was in power, he often had a relationship with the three continents, and he had a friendship with many folk three religions and nine streams, because of his noble status, after experiencing some things, he won the name of a 'free king' in the rivers and lakes.
After the emperor made him a minister, he took charge of the forbidden army in the palace and was responsible for protecting the Forbidden City. Li Ping'an's voice reverberated in the hall.
