Although the emperor has the right to make decisions on military and state affairs, he has to discuss them in the political affairs hall. Since my mother said "I think it is right" in front of so many people, it is likely that she has already discussed with the prime ministers before revealing such a statement. In addition, Tang Xiujing, as the governor of Xizhou, went all the way to Beijing, which made his mother think it was true. The memorial must have clearly written all the matters including who will be the general, so my mother today Come to ask us, it’s not so much about capital, it’s better to say about cultivation—and today’s courtiers, if you omit their respective families, gentry, nobles, foreign relatives, Zhuwu clan, and Li clan relatives, etc., they can be roughly divided. There are three categories: Ministers who are close to Li and Zhu Li, ministers who are close to Wu and Zhu Wu, and those who are not close to anyone but are only loyal to their mother, or in other words, those who only follow their mother's wishes.And these people in front of the imperial court right now should all be regarded by the mother as the third category, which is also the weakest category.If the mother wants to stabilize the imperial power, it is impossible to rely on the two factions to fight each other. There must be forces that rely on her closely, otherwise the emperor's order will not work, and there will be no checks and balances.And these imperial neighbors who can only rely on their mothers are the best choices, especially women like Wan'er and He Loushi who are naturally allied with their mothers-but I don't know where I am counted by my mother?

What Cui Mingde meant was that he wanted me to be the head of the Li family, but in my heart, I didn't want to be completely included in the Li family.From three generations down to the Republic era in my previous life, my mother was the only legitimate female head of state.Before her, no one has done this, but after her, the world has more and more restraints on women. Even in the new era of so-called civilization, the social atmosphere still despises women and respects patriarchy.I, who was fortunate enough to be born as a mother's daughter, did not want to be classified into the conservative orthodoxy of the Li family, even though that side is my direct paternal line.

I looked up at my mother silently, saw her high-spirited and carefree appearance, and carefully said: "Who will be the general has something to do with military power, so I dare not speak nonsense, but since this is a long-term strategy, the selection of generals is not limited to One person, one moment."

Seeing that his mother finally showed some interest, he continued: "Since the governor of the Tang Dynasty has already been dispatched, and your Majesty is very satisfied, there must be a conclusion on who will be the general now, so my son's meaning is not in front of me, but in the future." .”

Cui Mingde must have guessed my first meaning, and the corner of her mouth twitched imperceptibly, but she must have never thought of what I would say next: "The person who can lead the army for the general manager and leave the town of Tubo at this time must be someone who has already Those who have great prestige in the army and can stand alone are at least forty years old. In terms of serving in the army, it is not easy to be able to lead the army for another ten or twenty years, but after ten or twenty years, they can be alone. The generals in the world are now at most 20 years old. Those who can become generals at this time must have made great achievements, and those who can become generals ten or twenty years later may not be known at this time. If we push back, 20 It will be even harder to say who it will be in 30 or 20 years."

My mother raised her eyebrows and looked at me: "Things in the world are changing, who can say what will happen in 50 or [-] years? And what I asked was just one thing, but you dragged it into these things, so the text is not on the topic."

I smiled and said: "Your Majesty wants to establish a foundation for eternity, so naturally he has to plan for eternity. Moreover, Tubo has been in chaos with the Central Plains since the Sui Dynasty. It has been a hundred years now, and many of the strategies that the current dynasty relies on to fight against Tubo are also inherited from him. Day, so I think that although the discussion today is for the present, if the precedent of this time can be used as the law of future generations, then I will almost live up to Your Majesty's heart of reforming the Yuan and starting a great week."

My mother stared at me: "Go on."

I said: "Although there are talents in marching and fighting, there has always been a study of military books and military laws. It is a pity that in ancient times, all sages and sages have their disciples. It is their own understanding, but they have not yet formed a sect. If they can imitate articles, poems, etc., and set up a separate school in the Imperial College, it will be military studies. The job is given out to practice, and the imperial court checks its merits and demerits. The excellent ones will be further promoted, and the bad ones will be dismissed. Then they will be recruited according to age. There will be generals in the next ten, thirty, and fifty years. If there is any reserve in the country, why worry about no one to use it?"

Of course, what I am talking about is the ideal state. It is impossible to cultivate generals 100% by simply studying books. Just like the people in the Imperial College may not all be able to become prime ministers, the point is that a special military academy is established to train talents. It can give more people opportunities, so that knowledge is no longer monopolized by one family or one person. Second, it can promote theoretical exchanges and avoid wars and other things. It is still only based on personal exploration without a system.

Nowadays, there is no separation of civil and military families, and if you fight well in war, you can also enter the court as a prime minister, unlike the later dynasties that emphasize civil and military affairs. I don't know when this trend began to change, but if we can set a standard, It may be possible to avoid such a trend by listing the matter of "military" as a discipline early on.

I think my mother will agree with my idea, not only because she started martial arts after she ascended the throne, not only because setting up a military academy can strengthen her authority and support generals who are loyal to her, but also because she is a capable emperor.

As an emperor, he would naturally be able to leave a name in the history, but the kind of reputation he left behind was different from each other.Although the mother changed the Yuan and Yi Dynasties, she was like the founding monarch, but she was the female lead in the court. Not only did she have some unspeakable disadvantages naturally, but the succession of future generations was still a big problem.It is precisely because of this that I believe that mothers are more willing than men to have some pioneering works to be imitated by later generations.

My mother sat up straight and looked at me steadily: "You have always had some messy ideas, but what you say is novel. If you really want to do it, you have to make a list and present it in detail before you know if it is feasible."

When I heard this meaning, I knew that my mother was moved, bowed and said: "Son, I will go to the nursery when I get back."

Mother hummed, and said after a long while: "Just write a policy theory, there is no need to make a special memorial." Then she looked at other people: "What do you think of what Tang Xiujing wrote?"

He Lou said: "My concubine thinks that your Majesty is wise and wise. The governor of the Tang Dynasty has been in the frontier for a long time. Both of you think that this matter is possible, so it should be possible."

The mother nodded slightly, and heard Wan'er say, "It's my concubine's words, but I don't know about it, I don't dare to speak rashly, I dare to ask Your Majesty to give me some time to allow my concubine to think about it", she also acquiesced with her eyes, Turning around and looking at Ah Qing, Ah Qing simply said, "I will listen to Your Majesty, no matter whether the matter is good or not, as long as Your Majesty says yes, I will agree."

The meaning of these three people is not far from that of Gao Yanfu, but they just narrated their own narratives, but they are much more pleasing to the ear than his **** flattery. The mother smiled, and finally looked at Cui Mingde. The little girl started to frown when she was talking Thinking about it, until now his brows have not been loosened, and he has not reacted to being watched by his mother. It was He Lou who pushed her. Waiting for the item, I have been paying attention since then. The princess just said that the war between the two countries is about national power, not simply two armies. Let me tell you what His Majesty said."

Seeing that our attitudes are very correct, my mother nodded slightly: "It will be difficult for you for a while, I will give you three days, and after three days, each will present an opinion, and I will say it - this is a forbidden matter, needless to say Outward court."

The author has something to say: Gao Yanfu: Forget about anything else, even the competition for flattery is so fierce, I feel overwhelmed.
