439, Guanlong Group (II)
After listening to Yin Yue'e's introduction, Jingwen probably understood the reason for this. The reason why Jingwen was not "absorbed" by the people of the Guanlong group was because Jingwen was born as a courtier and relied on the emperor's trust to gain power. However, this emperor represents the emperor, not the Li family of the Guanlong Group. Although Li Shimin is nominally the head of the Li family of the Guanlong Group, his other identity is the emperor. Jingwen relied on the emperor's support to become such a status, not the Li family, so naturally he can't be regarded as a member of the Guanlong Group.
The relationship between the emperor and the Li family is very different. If you rely on the emperor, then once a dynasty changes dynasties, or even just a powerful minister, then your position may not be guaranteed. And if you rely on the Guanlong Group, then this political group that transcends the dynasty will serve as your backer, so that you will not suffer losses due to the change of dynasty. Although the change of dynasty will not cause much loss, the Guanlong group also has its own struggle for power and profit. This will also cause losses, but the losses are greater than the change of dynasty. If we insist on comparison, this is like a later head of state who also serves as the supreme leader of the party. In a one-party country, the head of state is the supreme leader of the party in most cases, and although these two identities are the same person most of the time, they are actually different. The Guanlong clique is equivalent to a party, and the emperor represents the head of a country. Although Li Shimin's Li family is the leading family of the Guanlong Group, it does not mean that there will be no struggle in the Guanlong Group. The difference with the one-party system in later generations is that the Guanlong Group can surpass the national dynasties, and even a certain dynasty is established through consultation between the Guanlong Group's own internal personnel.
The establishment of the military academy by Emperor Li Shimin is actually to improve the imperial power and increase the weight of the country. At the same time, it is equivalent to that Emperor Li Shimin does not completely rely on the Guanlong group, and has established another military attache system by himself. In this way, the "party" power represented by the Guanlong clique will be inferior to the "political" power. Li Shimin is actually elevating political power and suppressing the "party" power. The military academy is also Li Shimin's cultivation of reserve officers, and these officers will be centered on the emperor's throne. In this way, they will not be co-opted by the Guanlong group. The Guanlong Group is a political collective linked by a family, while the formation model of this military academy is linked by "comrades" who share the same ideal purpose, and these two are completely different. This is Li Shimin's intention to replace the Guanlong Group with military cadets.
And this began to dig the foundation of the Guanlong Group, so Li Jinghou Junji Li Ji, the military generals of the Guanlong Group, naturally could not tolerate it. Therefore, although they will not rebel, they will also express their dissatisfaction. They impeached Jingwen, that is, Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, but it was actually intended for Li Shimin, the Duke of Pei. They wanted the emperor to abandon the idea of establishing his own officer system, or to rely on the Guanlong clique, a political faction that transcended dynasties. But Emperor Li Shimin is not stupid. Naturally, he knew that if he only relied on this faction, he would let this faction override his own state power. In doing so, the royal right to rule is unstable. Originally, the emperor also looked at the face of the Guanlong Group, if the military attache system of this cadet was established, it would be the Guanlong Group that looked at the emperor's face. A former uncle, now a grandson, who can accept it!
"He's meowing, I've become the focus of the game between the two sides." Jingwen complained.
Jingwen is really disgusted by these things that hurt him. But now both sides are taking themselves as the focus of the game, and it is obvious that Li Jing and their people from the Guanlong Group want to control the military academy. In this way, the military academy can become the strength of the Guanlong Group, and the Guanlong Group will be able to continuously expand its power in the future. This is the reason why they want to kick out Jingwen and master the military academy themselves. And Emperor Li Shimin naturally did not allow it, because he also wanted to pull down the Guanlong group. Stabilize their rule, so the military academy will never be able to let it.
Although Jingwen has a good relationship with these generals, it is related to their core interests, so Li Jing and they have to turn their faces and deny people. Take the initiative to impeach Jingwen. This time it is not so much the impeachment of Jingwen as it is a game between the imperial power and the Guanlong clique.
"So what should I do?" Jingwen asked.
And Yin Yue'e said: "There is no way, since you are relying on the emperor to get up." Then you will naturally have to go to the dark with the emperor. You can only find a way to show your attitude and let the emperor see that you are on the same path as him, so that he will make every effort to keep your position. If you can't show your attitude, then even if the emperor takes back the right to control the military academy, you can't continue to serve as this sacrificial wine, and the emperor won't let a person with the best attitude master the military academy. ”
"So how do I make a statement? I can't go and tell the emperor that we are people in the same boat, and we are absolutely loyal to you, right? Jingwen asked.
Jingwen really didn't know how to express loyalty, because this was too complicated. It is impossible for Jingwen to express his loyalty to the emperor directly, because it is not very useful to use language and anything else. On the political zhì, it is not to see what you say, but to see what you do. Some people, without saying a word, make him the leader's henchman. And some people say a lot, but the leader still doesn't regard you as a confidant. This is that you didn't make a "vote", so no matter how much you say, the leader doesn't trust you.
Jingwen now needs to show loyalty, but how to express this loyalty, this is a little helpless. Jingwen didn't know which direction to start, so he didn't know what to do to let the emperor Li Shimin know that he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the emperor? If you can't show your loyalty, then I'm afraid that the emperor will have to remove his sacrificial wine and go back to be an idler. Jingwen hates this kind of political problem very much, because his political problem is not up to the mark!
"Now, the emperor's biggest concern is the loyalty of military cadets. Therefore, if you can make the military academy students loyal to Datang in the future, instead of being loyal to the Guanlong Group, and ensure that they will not be pulled away by the Guanlong Group, then you can sit firmly in the sacrificial wine of this military school. Therefore, it is important for you to grasp the military academy in your hands now, so that the students are loyal to Datang, so that you can continue to do it safely. Yin Yue'e said.
"Loyal to Datang? There is a way to do this. Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
