Great Tang princess

Chapter 405 Li Yuechen's Military Theory

Shangguan Wan'er propped her chin with both hands: "Your Majesty said that Wu Yizong is a waste, if His Highness is willing to be Minister of the Ministry of War, let him go to Zongzheng Temple."

I have to admit, this is too straightforward.

Li Yuechen knew her mother very well, even though she was nice to her nephew in front of outsiders, but in fact, because of her two uncles, she still couldn't like them in her heart.

The use of nephews is only because clansmen are always closer than outsiders in this era, and betraying clansmen is almost equal to unfilial piety.

In the final analysis, it was a desperation choice to use the nephew.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Okay, it seems that the wish to return home while you are young will not come true!"

Shangguan Wan'er let out a "puchi" laugh: "Your Highness thought of retiring and returning home more than ten years ago."

In her memory, the first time Li Yuechen said that he wanted to retire and return home was when he was eight or nine years old. After more than ten years, this idea still has not been successful.

"It's a pity, even if this idea takes another ten years, it may not be realized!" Li Yuechen shook his head slightly with a regretful expression.

Knowing that she was joking, Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer the conversation, but just sat across from her, with her chin propped on her hands, looking at her with a smile.

Seeing her cute appearance, Li Yuechen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and didn't speak any more, just picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.

Although there were no words, the atmosphere did not appear awkward. The two who grew up together could read a lot of language in each other's eyes and expressions. Sometimes speaking, it seemed redundant.

The breeze passed through the pavilion, caressing the hair of the two, forming a warm picture in the pavilion.

……

Two days later, at the court meeting, Li Yuechen, who was at the front of the minister, subconsciously thumped his aching thigh twice.

Because I didn't like to kneel and sit since I was a child, I really couldn't hold on to this posture for too long.

Turning around to look secretly, the ministers were all focused on the discussion of the current government affairs, so Li Yuechen gently supported the ground with both hands to let his legs float in the air.

Then he slowly stretched his legs forward, changed to a cross-legged position, and slowly sat down.

Because she was wearing a round-neck gown with a wide hem, it was difficult to see that the princess had changed her posture unless she observed carefully.

But above the court, who would dare to stare at the princess's butt?

So Li Yuechen didn't worry about being discovered at all. Rather, it didn't matter if the ministers saw it, as long as they were discovered by Yushitai.

Fortunately, I was far away from them, so I probably couldn't see them.

However, her small movements did not escape Wu Zetian's eyes. Even though she was sitting behind the bead curtain, she still had a clear view of the situation below, just like a teacher standing on a podium.

But she didn't reprimand her daughter in class, but just gave her a look to show her a lesson.

Seeing the slightly ferocious look in his mother's eyes, Li Yuechen stuck out his tongue and smiled, intending to pass the test cutely.

Wu Zetian didn't bother to talk to him, she was looking at the ministers arguing in the court.

The matter of debate in the court today is very simple, that is, Di Renjie arrested Zhang Guangfu and suppressed him back to Dongdu, and then impeached him in court.

The voice of Zhang Guangfu's accusation resounded throughout the court, and even caused a burst of echo: "God Emperor! Di Renjie is lawless, and dares to openly tie up the imperial court official! This is a blatant treason, and it should be taken down immediately!"

If it was an ordinary person, if this big hat was put on, they might have already started to panic.

However, Di Renjie, who has always been stubborn, didn't pay any attention to his words, but said in a cold voice: "Hmph! I only regret that I don't have that Shangfang Zhanma sword in my hand, otherwise how can I allow you to speak nonsense here?"

Shangfang Zhanma Sword is the Shangfang sword that often appears in TV dramas and novels. It has existed since the Han Dynasty. It belongs to the imperial sword of the emperor.

But the sword is a sacrificial weapon, and the people of the Tang Dynasty favored martial arts. Therefore, during this period, the emperor's imperial weapon was also a sword instead of a sword. Because it was usually held by the Qianniuwei, and it was said to be able to cut a thousand cows without rolling the blade, it was also called the Qianniu Sword!

Today's emperor's sword is the kind of later Tang sword that Li Yuechen ordered the craftsmen to make. It is completely black and looks very oppressive.

Seeing that Di Renjie blatantly said that he had murderous thoughts, Zhang Guangfu became furious, his breathing became a lot heavier, and the beard on his face trembled slightly.

Li Yuechen turned his head slightly and glanced at the two people who were arguing, wondering how long it would take for them to fight.

Although it is rare for people to fight in the courtroom after arguing and arguing, it is not completely uncommon.

Sure enough, Zhang Guangfu was outraged, rolled up his sleeves, and walked directly towards Di Renjie.

And Di Renjie was not afraid at all, staring at him with two big eyes, but clenched his fists, obviously ready to fight back.

"All right!"

At this moment, Wuhetian behind the bead curtain suddenly spoke, stopping the two people who were about to strike: "If you fight each other in the court, what is the proper way? If the two of you think you can fight, go and fight with Qian." General Niu Wei made two moves!"

As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Guangfu and Di Renjie quickly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.

Just kidding, fight with Princess Taiping?Doing death is not such an approach.

Li Yuechen didn't expect that his mother would suddenly bring the topic to him, and subconsciously looked up, but her old man didn't look this way at all.

"About this matter, I have already made it clear. Zhang Guangfu was resigned to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War and appointed as Zongzheng Shaoqing, so I can reflect on myself!" Wu Zetian issued an order, "Di Renjie, serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and make peace with Fengge Luantai!"

The God Emperor gave the order, which means that this matter has come to an end.

Even though he said he was unwilling, the current Zhang Guangfu did not dare to confront the Emperor, so he could only grit his teeth and salute, and agreed.

Di Renjie also saluted and thanked Zhang Guangfu, letting Zhang Guangfu's eyes burst into flames, as if he didn't see it.

Of course the court meeting was not over yet, Wu Zetian continued to announce: "The current minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Yizong, is appointed Minister of the Zongzheng Temple, and General Qianniuwei Li Yuechen is appointed as the minister of the Ministry of War!"

As soon as these words came out, many ministers raised their heads and looked at the back of the head of Li Yuechen who was at the front.

To be honest, there is no problem for Li Yuechen to be Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is young, he can't stand up to someone with senior qualifications and great military exploits. He is the No. 1 God of War in the Tang Dynasty.

With such qualifications, he is indeed qualified to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, but what the ministers are worried about is another thing.

Now the Minister of the Household Department is Princess Xuancheng, if Princess Taiping takes the post of Secretary of the Ministry of War, there will be two women in the top bureaucracy of the Tang Dynasty!

From one to two, how many years have passed?Will there be more women in various important official positions in the future?
Originally, whether it is the secret guard or the Qianniu guard, they are all institutions exclusively for the royal family. Whether the managers are male or female has little to do with them, but the Minister of the Ministry of War is different. This is an imperial government institution, and there are too many women in it. Not a good thing for them.

Although they were unwilling in their hearts, they couldn't find a suitable reason to refute for a while, so the court was silent again.

Feeling the sight behind him, Li Yuechen suddenly felt a little guilty. Those at Yushitai wouldn't notice me sitting cross-legged, would they?

But this is not over yet, Wu Zetian continued: "Wu Sansi is the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

……

After the next dynasty, in the Hall of Renshou.

Li Yuechen put the brewed tea in front of Wu Zetian, and asked with some doubts: "What does A Niang mean by calling my cousin to be the servant of the Ministry of War?"

"Although I don't want to see them, in the final analysis, it is my Wu clan, at least I hope that this bloodline will not be cut off..." Wu Zetian said with a sigh.

After talking about this, Li Yuechen also understood.

Recently, Wu Sansi has gotten too close to Pei Huaiyi, that guy will be abandoned one day in the future, it is not a good thing to get too close to him.

"Okay, I understand!" Li Yuechen replied, "But speaking of it, since the boy has become the minister of the Ministry of War, he will definitely have to make major changes in the future..."

Wu Zetian waved his hand: "You'd better not make such a big move at once! This kind of thing has to be figured out slowly!"

"Don't worry, Ma'am, the child understands!" Li Yuechen nodded, "Now that the world is at peace, reforms don't need drastic changes..."

"Thanks to them thinking that you are just a minister of the Ministry of War, otherwise the court would have to be turned upside down today..." Wu Zetian shook his head, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Li Yuechen nodded in agreement with these words.

Before coming to this era, Li Yuechen, like many people, thought that the Minister of the Ministry of War was the highest military officer in the country.

However, in fact, an administrator needs to be added in the middle, that is, the highest military administrator in the country!
In the Ministry of War, there is one minister, two servants, and several other divisions including Langzhong and Yuanwailang. There are about a dozen main persons in charge, and there are Siyu Temple, Weiwei Temple, Zhuwei and the local Zhechong Mansion under their jurisdiction...

Mainly responsible for various military administrative work such as borders, military registration, maps, vehicle publicity, post biography, ordnance, and honor guards.

The Minister of the Ministry of War can also be called Da Sima.There is no power to mobilize the national army!
But Li Yuechen is an exception!

Now the ministers in the court don't know that the military talisman is in Li Yuechen's hands now, she is the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses in a real sense, and has the power to mobilize the whole country's army.

If the ministers find out about this, there will be an explosion in the court!

Because Li Yuechen at this time is a nuclear bomb, and his power is even greater than that of the emperor.

Wu Zetian gave her so much power just to make her reform with peace of mind and escort her by himself.

It's just that the current Li Yuechen doesn't have the consciousness of covering the sky with one hand at all, and sits leisurely in the Hall of Renshou drinking tea with his mother.

"Actually, my son intends to completely transfer military issues to the Ministry of War. In the future, all important military affairs such as national defense strategy will be transferred to the Ministry of War. In this way, a separation between the military and the government will be formed..." Li Yuechen talked to his mother with a teacup in his hand.

"In this way, wouldn't there be a complete separation between civil servants and military officials?" Wu Zetian frowned, "I know that some people are better at fighting, but there are still Confucian generals in this world!"

Li Yuechen shook his head: "The military is just a continuation of politics, and the military should also serve politics, but this does not mean that we have to mix together. Besides, instead of seeking Confucian generals, it is better to focus on cultivating veterans on the battlefield!"

There are roughly two types of military generals. One is the Confucian generals, who are excellent in military art but have no combat effectiveness.

There is also a veteran on the battlefield, who is not only good at using troops, but also has superb combat prowess himself. When necessary, he can even mount a horse and lead a team to kill people when necessary.

Emperor Taizong is a typical representative of this!

But in Li Yuechen's view, this is not the era of science and technology, and under the premise that there are not so many black technology weapons, veterans on the battlefield are much more useful than Confucian generals.

Especially from Li Yuechen's point of view, Confucian generals may be more suitable to fight the wind.

Of course, with the development of science and technology, if heavy weapons capable of striking beyond visual range can appear in the future, then it may be the era when Confucianism will play a role.

She didn't know if her thoughts were right, but at least that was the conclusion she had drawn from her current experience.

Listening to her daughter's words, Wu Zetian fell into thinking.

She is just a strategist, and she really doesn't know anything about war, so she is not easy to express opinions.

Finally nodded: "If you are sure, then do what you want first. Speaking of which, I still have another idea as a mother."

"What's your idea?" Li Yuechen leaned over and massaged her shoulders.

"In today's imperial examination, most of the talents selected are Confucian scholars. If there is an additional military examination, will it be possible to select talents for the army?" She turned her head slightly to look at her daughter.

Li Yuechen was slightly taken aback, then suddenly lowered his head and smacked her face.

"This girl! Why is she so crazy?" Wu Zetian pushed her away, and wiped her face with her hand.

"Aniang's idea is really amazing!" Li Yuechen praised, "In this way, we can send more useful talents to Datang!"

In fact, she had thought about this idea a few years ago, but she never said it. Now that her mother has brought it up, she should praise it.

"My mother also thought of it suddenly. Since the military and government are going to be separated, there is naturally a need for another way to select talents!" Although he looked disgusted on his face, he was still happy to be praised by his daughter.

When she spoke, she couldn't help but put on a smile on her face, perhaps because she was afraid of being embarrassed by her daughter, so she quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Li Yuechen chuckled, kept massaging her with both hands, bent slightly, and whispered close to his mother's ear: "Mother, this idea is too powerful, I will write a charter when I get back, and start preparing right away."

"Hmm." Wu Zetian also felt that this method was safer, at least it would allow him to see her plans and plans first.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking about work issues, and instead chatted about other gossip.

After dinner in the evening, Li Yuechen announced his resignation.

Coming out of the Hall of Renshou, I turned my head to look at the Mingtang under construction. According to my visual estimation, the height has already exceeded [-] feet. Although the construction has not yet been completed, if I stand at a certain angle, I can already form a unique silhouette under the moon. .

It was as if a beam of spotlights was coming from behind, and people couldn't help but focus all their attention on it.

Li Yuechen couldn't help being curious, and he didn't know how majestic and magnificent this handmade building would be after it was completed...

　Everyone, June is coming to an end, don't hide your monthly pass, just vote... Thank you everyone!
