Following.

Fengtian Temple.

On top of the dragon chair.

The empress in a dragon robe sits upright, with an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people dare not look directly.

Winter!

With a bell ringing.

The hundred officials walked out of the hall.

Originally, the people who were at the forefront should have been the great cadres and nobles who had knighthoods.

Now, it has become Prime Minister Fang Xiu.

This was followed by six books, the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate, etc.

A moment later.

Hundreds of officials stood still.

The officials of the African Party all subconsciously looked to the side.

Seeing that the position of the military attache was empty.

As if they realized something, their eyes showed a hint of uneasiness, and they hurriedly lowered their heads.

A few days ago, the Ministry of War issued a notice to recruit new troops throughout the country.

You don't have to think about it to know.

The martial artists whose interests have been violated will definitely take advantage of this to make trouble.

Today's meeting is the best opportunity.

But!

Now there is no one present!

In this case, there is only one possibility - all the martial artists in the capital are under house arrest and cannot participate in the court meeting!

The whole Daqian dared to do this, and there were only two people who had the ability to do so!

First, His Majesty the Emperor!

The second is the Prime Minister!

It is the Prime Minister who wants to develop a new army.

It is not surprising that the person who put Wu Xun under house arrest must also be the Prime Minister!

I just don't know, Your Majesty doesn't know about it.

If you don't know, how will you deal with it today?

"The Prime Minister is already covering the sky in the court, and if he controls the military power again, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Your Majesty has the world in mind, and now that he has been forced to such a point by the ministers, he will definitely not swallow his anger anymore, but he doesn't know how to fight back."

"I really didn't expect Fang Xiu to be so bold! Honorable ...... under house arrest Isn't he afraid of provoking a mutiny? ”

The officials of the African Party lowered their heads, all smelling the smell of the coming wind and rain, and their hearts were mixed.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"

The palace maid's shrill voice rang out.

There was silence in the Fengtian Temple.

Just when the officials thought that nothing had happened today.

Qian Haonan, the secretary of the military department, suddenly stood up.

"The minister has a book to play!"

I heard Qian Haonan's voice.

All the officials were shocked, their eyes focused on him, and they said in their hearts: It's coming!

Dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong's cold eyes looked at him, and he said coldly:

"Exactly."

Qian Haonan saluted, and said:

"Your Majesty! The minister has been in the post of secretary of the military department for two years, and in the past two years, the minister has deeply felt that the slack of armament has reached the point of no return! ”

"The sage said: If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are general, you will be reached!"

"I think that the same is true of armaments, surrounded by strong enemies, and my army will be trapped if it remains unchanged! Change is accessible! ”

"Therefore! The minister implores His Majesty to change the military household to the people's household, and abolish the forbidden army and the Zhichong Mansion! Add the Governor's Mansion and lead the new army! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

All the officials were shocked.

Since Emperor Taizu, the armament of Daqian has always been based on the forbidden army and the Zhichong Mansion, although there have been several changes in the middle, but they are all aimed at martial artists and generals, and there is not much change in the military system itself.

Of course.

In the years when wars were frequent, the number of government soldiers was insufficient, and the imperial court also ordered the recruitment of troops throughout the country.

But that's a special case.

If it is peaceful today, the surrounding countries have not shown any intention of aggression, and suddenly, the military households are abolished and the army is recruited instead.

In addition, the two hundred years of forbidden army and the Zhichong Mansion were abolished, and the Governor's Mansion was added.

This is obviously to take back the military power in the hands of Wu Xun and hold it in his own hands!

There is no doubt that this move will definitely arouse fierce opposition from Wu Xun!

Even, it is highly likely to trigger a mutiny!

Qian Haonan, a small military secretary, never had such courage.

The person behind the curtain must refer to the deer as the horse!

Thinking of this, Baiguan subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu who was standing at the forefront, his eyes were complicated.

He has already leaned into power in the government and the opposition, but he still wants to gather military power, is this to rebel against himself as the emperor?

"Hey...... The Fang Party has already attacked, and I don't know how His Majesty will respond. ”

"Today's court meeting will decide the future of the great cadres, and no matter what, we can't let the Fang Party do anything wrong like last time!"

"Your Majesty is tougher, coupled with the death of hundreds of officials, it will definitely make the Fang Party have some scruples, as long as you survive today, and the Zhichong Mansions in various places know about this, it will not be so easy for the Fang Party to make trouble again!"

Among the officials of the African Party, many people's eyes became firm.

They know it in their hearts.

This time, the situation is completely different from the last time.

refers to the deer as a horse, just to show power and suppress dissent, and the scope is limited to the court.

Changing the military system is tantamount to snatching the military power that originally belonged to His Majesty and the nobles.

Since then.

The military and political power is in one person!

If Fang Xiu wanted to usurp the throne, no one would be able to stop him.

The Great Qianjiang River has changed hands.

And they ...... They will all become ministers of the country!

Leave a stench for 10,000 years!

With that in mind.

All the officials raised their eyes to look at the empress, quietly waiting for His Majesty's counterattack.

Always ready to lend a hand!

Dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong's cold eyes looked at Qian Haonan, and said coldly:

"How do you plan to change, tell me in detail."

The voice fell.

All the officials widened their eyes and looked at the empress in disbelief.

What is there to say in detail about this?

It's not good to refuse directly!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qian Haonan seemed to have been prepared, made a salute, and said:

"First of all, all military households will change their civilian registration, and those who are willing to stay in Zhechong Province or join the new army will be re-registered, and then their military registration will be cancelled after they leave the army."

"Secondly, the Zhichong Mansion is retained in various places, and the general of Zhichong is still held by Wu Xun, but the size of the army has been reduced to thirty percent of today!"

"Abolish the forbidden army and set up three battalions of the Fifth Army, the Three Thousand Army, and the Shenji Army."

"The five military camps are composed of the elite of the original forbidden army, and the chief soldiers and the chief generals of the five armies are all selected from the martial arts and appointed by His Majesty!"

"The three thousand battalions are composed of Xuanjia cavalry, the position of the general soldier, and the minister recommends Gao Shun, the general of the battle!"

"The Shenji Battalion is composed of the existing new army, the post of the general soldier, and the minister recommends Qi Jiguang, the commander of the new army!"

"Finally, the Governor's Mansion will be added to govern the Zhichong Mansion and the three major battalions!"

The voice fell.

Baiguan could no longer restrain the shock in his heart and whispered.

"Listen to Qian Haonan's meaning, this Governor's Mansion is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses!"

"Doesn't this mean that the power of the military department is divided somewhat?"

"It's not just the division of the power of the military department, but also the power of the captain and the princes!"

"The Zhichong Mansion is still retained, and the generals of the five military camps are selected from the martial arts and appointed by His Majesty, it seems that the Fang Party has not planned to completely break with His Majesty's martial arts."

"Even so, Your Majesty and the princes will never agree to this request!"

"After all, this is equivalent to handing over half of the world's soldiers and horses to the Fang Party, and there will be endless troubles!"

Syllable!

Next to the empress, the palace maid took the whip and whipped it hard.

"Silence!"

In an instant, the hall was much quieter.

Wu Mingkong looked around, his eyes finally fixed on Qian Haonan's voice, and said slowly:

"Qian Shangshu's suggestion, in my opinion, is not impossible."

"I give you three days, take out the detailed formula, send it to me, and I will hand it over to the Zhongshu Province after reading it!"

As soon as this remark came out.

All the officials were stunned.

It took a while before he reacted.

Your Majesty, this is a compromise with the Fang Party!

From His Majesty's point of view, it is not impossible to exchange half of the military power for temporary peace and stability.

It's just that......

Has Your Majesty ever thought that after the Fang Party succeeds, it will definitely gain an inch!

Sooner or later, Fang Xiu's traitor will replace you, Your Majesty!

The officials looked at each other, all showing sad expressions.

A moment later.

The Ministry of Rites finally made up his mind and wanted to stand up and say something.

It's just that before he moved, Qian Haonan on the side spoke again.

"The minister thinks that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in charge of the power of the world's soldiers and horses! The ruler must have a brave and loyal heart! In addition to this, it must also be respected! And have the ability to strategize! ”

Wu Mingkong looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked:

"Who in your opinion qualifies?"

Qian Haonan slowly raised his eyes, his expression was solemn, and he said loudly:

"The minister thinks that among the civil and military officials, only Fang Xiang can take on this important task!"

"I beg your Majesty to crown Fang Xiang as the Metropolitan Governor! Take charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace! ”

The voice fell.

The members of the party lined up in unison, bowed and saluted, and their movements were uniform.

"Your Majesty, I beseech you! Seal Fang Xiang as the Metropolitan Governor! Take charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace! ”

When the rest of the officials saw this scene, they all showed shock.

They originally thought that in order to avoid suspicion, the Fang Party would definitely nominate a national prince to be the governor.

Through the national duke, he took control of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

But I didn't expect it.

They even directly elected Prime Minister Fang Xiu and concurrently served as the Metropolitan Governor!

The military and political power is in one person!

What is the difference between this and the emperor!

Come to think of this.

All the officials looked at the empress and said in their hearts: This time, Your Majesty can't make any more compromises!

The next second.

And they saw the Empress on the dragon chair.

As always, her face was expressionless, as if what was happening in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Just said in a flat tone:

"Qian Shangshu is reasonable."

"Over the years, Fang Aiqing has worked hard for Jiangshan Sheji, which is really not easy."

"I have decided to crown Fang Aiqing as the Grand Master, and concurrently lead the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the concession will not be tended to enter the court, praise and worship without a name, and go to the palace with a sword!"

When the officials heard this, they were stunned at first.

Then his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and his face was incredulous!

In any case, they didn't expect it either.

His Majesty not only easily agreed to Fang Dang's request.

Even on the basis of the original, the prime minister was given the post of Taishi, so that the prime minister was ranked among the three princes!

To know!

Although the Taishi is only a fictitious position, no one has received such an honor in the past thirty years!

In addition, there is also the trend of entering the court, praising and worshipping the nameless, and the sword walking on the temple, and no one has received such a reward in the past hundred years!

They don't understand why His Majesty is doing this!

At this moment.

Many old ministers looked at the empress with a calm face, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings.

Some young and vigorous officials were even more distressed and shouted in their hearts:

"The ministers are about to fight to the death! Why did Your Majesty descend first! ”

But.

They soon realized.

What happened today is no coincidence!

It must be the result of the consultation between His Majesty and the Fang Party!

I just don't know.

What kind of conditions did the Fang Party give His Majesty to make such a decision!

Could it be ......

I don't know why.

The officials came up with a bold idea.

"There is only one possibility for His Majesty to voluntarily give up military power!"

"Your Majesty thinks that the prime minister, who is in power and opposition, is under her control!"

"What gives His Majesty such confidence?"

"You know, even ordinary people who don't know a single big character understand the truth that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers."

"Unless ......"

The officials seemed to realize something, looked at the empress on the dragon chair, and then looked at the prime minister standing at the front, shocked at the same time, fell into silence.

Meanwhile.

The center of sight.

Fang Xiu finally stood up, bowed, and said loudly:

"Minister...... Do your best, and then die! ”

After saying that, he saluted again.

The empress showed a look of satisfaction between her eyebrows, nodded, waved her hand, and said:

"I believe that after Fang Xiang is crowned as the Grand Master, he will definitely work hard and worry for me, for the court, and for the people of the world, as in the past!"

"Thank you for your trust! The minister will not live up to the trust! ”

Fang Xiu straightened up, threw a wink at the little empress, and returned to his position.

Mood +2000】

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong felt a little funny, and felt a little speechless, so he couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.

This scene was seen by several attentive officials.

I was shocked, and I understood everything in an instant.

No wonder Your Majesty trusts the other party so much!

It turned out that they had already ......

Now.

The officials who captured this scene all showed a look of flickering, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

The old ministers who originally wanted to stand up and stop the Fang Party, even if they didn't see this scene, they had a vague guess in their hearts, and they endured it stubbornly.

Some young and vigorous youths, full of righteous indignation, wanted to speak up for His Majesty.

But when he saw that no one was taking the lead, he was cowardly, and he endured it until he retreated, but he didn't dare to say anything.

I thought it would be a court meeting of dragons and tigers, but it ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

The hundred officials saluted the empress in unison, and then left in turn in order.

On the way out of the palace.

Needless to say, the henchmen of the Fang Party are all happy.

Apparently they didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

The officials of the African Party had their own concerns, lowered their heads, and walked out.

One way or another.

After this court meeting, Fang Xiu's power reached its peak in Daqian!

From then on, the Great Qian Empire was essentially equivalent to having two helmsmen!

One is today!

The other is the prime minister who combines the three positions of the prince, the prime minister, and the metropolitan governor, and the military and political affairs of a country are all under control!

............

Xiangguo Mansion.

Fang Xiu just walked into the courtyard.

Yang Yuhuan, who was wearing a blue dress, greeted him, looked a little anxious, and said:

"Xiangye, Sister Yingyue's illness has worsened again!"
