Han Dao world

Chapter 1098

Mi Heng's speech was very bold, and it also aroused a lot of opposition.

But the voice of opposition was not those who supported the emperor, but veteran officials who wanted to take military power from the emperor.

They believed that military power could not be left in the hands of the emperor, but should belong to the ministers.The emperor should let go completely, which is the real rule.

Although Yang Biao didn't say it clearly, he also had the same idea. After hearing Mi Heng's point of view, he immediately found Mi Heng and asked Mi Heng's real thoughts.

Because of the current situation, do you choose to compromise with the emperor in order to consolidate the existing achievements, or do you really think this is the best result?

Mi Heng said directly that ministers in charge of soldiers are not conducive to the balance between the monarch and his ministers.

The military is the foundation of the country, and such power in anyone's hands will make others uneasy.Even if the emperor is willing to hand it over to the ministers, who can take on such a heavy responsibility?
Is it okay for the general to be in charge?Judging from the past few generals, it is definitely not a good thing.Those people either threatened the imperial power, or squeezed the space of other ministers, and there were many people who used public tools for private use and plotted against the law.

Whichever is the lesser of the two evils, it is better to leave the military power in the hands of the emperor.

First, this can eliminate the anxiety of the emperor.With military power in hand, at least he doesn't have to worry about ministers plotting against him.

Second, more contact with the army can somewhat strengthen the emperor's body and mind, so that the emperor will not be absent-minded.

In the end, even if the emperor is in charge of the army, he cannot do without the support of scholar-bureaucrats.A large number of military officers have to be selected from among the scholar-bureaucrats, and the money and food for the war must be provided by the Situ Mansion. Without the support of the scholar-bureaucrats, he can do nothing.

As far as the current development situation is concerned, the separation of civil and military has become inevitable.Taiwei, as the head of military officers, has a different selection method from Situ and Sikong, and the basis for the three princes to stand on the same position no longer exists.Even if the military power belongs to the Sangong, it is impossible for the Taiwei to have the same heart and mind as Situ and Sikong.

Instead of this, it is better to leave the military power to the emperor, and let the emperor control the Taiwei to eliminate the hidden danger of Wufu ruling the country.

After weighing repeatedly, Yang Biao felt that although Mi Heng's method was not ideal, it was still a choice.

He discussed with Yang Xiu again, and Yang Xiu also agreed with this plan.

The major affairs of the country are only the rituals and the army. From ancient times to the present, military power has been in the hands of the monarch.There are almost always accidents when a minister is in charge of the army. Either the minister has a heart of disobedience, or the monarch is suspicious of the minister, and he must put him to death before he is quick.

He further suggested that leaving the military power to the emperor would also be beneficial to Situ's work.The emperor directly presides over military affairs, understands the huge consumption of raising troops, and better understands the danger of belligerence, so he advocates lenient governance and minimizes the possibility of civil uprisings.Even if he wanted to use military force, he would not be able to go far without the money and food provided by the Situ Mansion.

After listening to the suggestions of several young people, Yang Biao felt that there was some truth, and turned around to discuss with Sikong Zhouzhong again.

Zhou Zhong's consideration is slightly different from Yang Biao's.

First, he felt that the emperor's attitude was very clear, and it was too difficult to return the military power to the Taiwei, and there was no possibility of realizing it.Reluctantly, the current status quo of living in harmony with the emperor may be broken, and the risk is too great.

Secondly, he felt that it was not bad for the emperor to be in charge of soldiers.The current emperor has gone through hardships and may resort to military action, but the emperor of later generations may not be able to endure such hardships, and he may not be interested in making him go on an expedition.

In the long run, the advantages of this program outweigh the disadvantages.

He also made a suggestion in a half-joking tone: In order to make it easier for Situ to monopolize the power of governing the people, the emperor should be allowed to go hunting outside most of the time, and don't stay in the capital to hinder him.

Yang Biao glared at Zhou Zhong, and felt that this suggestion was also good.

Civil and military are separated, and the emperor focuses on military affairs, so he should indeed patrol around to understand the situation in various places.

Different geography determines different combat methods. This is not something that can be understood by sitting in the palace.

It's just that in this way, the size of the army must be controlled, otherwise the cost of the patrol will become unbearable.

Yang Biao immediately decided to have a good talk with the emperor, and some things must be clarified.

-

After deciding to leave the military power to the emperor, the problem of how to educate the heir was easily solved.

The emperor's focus is on military affairs, and his understanding of government affairs is closer to supervision. It is enough to know how to evaluate Situ's pros and cons, but he does not need to be proficient in government affairs.

Learning military affairs is relatively easier than studying governance. The key is whether you can endure hardships.

This also brings convenience to the choice of heir.

If you can't bear the suffering of the army, it means you voluntarily gave up the right of inheritance.

And the heir who can bear the hardships of the army will most likely not be a weak person. Even if he is not an excellent famous general or hero, it is more than enough to be a conservative king.

It's just that in this way, the matter of establishing a crown prince will have to be postponed for at least ten years, and at least a few of the emperor's sons will have to reach adulthood before the decision can be made.

Before the formal discussion, when this news reached Queen Fushou's ears, Fushou's worry was increased by three points.

As far as the military is concerned, the emperor's son is obviously not as advantageous as the emperor's eldest son.When he becomes an adult, the eldest son of the emperor may have fought with the emperor for many years and won the support of the generals in the army.

In addition, Ma Guiren, Lu Guiren, and Dong Guiren also have advantages over her. The princes born to them will have the support of generals in the army in the future, and the Fu family has no foundation in the army.

During a chat, Fu Shou told Liu Xie his worries.

Before the final decision, she still has the chance to influence the emperor.

Liu Xie comforted Fu Shou and said, whether it is the emperor's eldest son or the emperor's son, the biggest reliance is me.

The generals in the army are all single-handedly picked up by me, and they will only obey my decision.

Moreover, the world is so big, every prince has enough room for development, there is no need to compete with the emperor's son for the crown prince.

At least you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

A hundred years from now, children and grandchildren will find a better way.

After much deliberation, Fu Shou could only accept this fact.

She also came to understand that the emperor defended her status so much, maybe it was because the Fu family had no influence in the army. If the emperor's son wanted to keep his heir, he could only rely on him and had no other choice.

The emperor wants to do something, and he doesn't want anyone to hinder him.

Everyone can only be a help, not a hindrance.

Including the prince.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Tai, and the second son of the emperor, Liu Ji, were both born around the emperor. Since they could walk, they began to stretch their fists and kick their feet to exercise.At Liu Tai's young age, he has already danced the sword well.In order not to be compared by these elder brothers, the emperor's son must follow the emperor to temper his body and mind in the future, and practice martial arts and art of war.

In order to be able to be with the child, she must also adapt to such a life, and cannot be separated from the emperor for a long time.

There is no doubt that for her, this is not a small test.

Fu Shou once again realized that it is not easy to be a queen, and the phoenix crown is too heavy.

If she was given another chance to choose, she might not accept such a challenge.
