Father, don't!

"I'll tell you when I get back to Beijing." Then I added: "I said before, I won't hide anything from you again."

Three days later, my body has recovered.On that day, the father decided to drive back to Beijing, and at the same time, the prince and eldest brother were also on the way.After the heavy snowfall, and it was New Year's Eve, there were hardly any pedestrians on the official road, and almost all the doors and windows of every household were closed tightly, with festive curtains on the doors.

The emperor's driving was very low-key, except for a team of disguised inner guards besides the carriage, there were two teams of people at the front and rear and pressing down the road, not to mention the secret guards on the way.And we did not have too many rules in the car, the father and the prince were reading.And I was playing chess with my elder brother.Eldest brother has already lost dozens of games to me. At this time, elder brother is holding black stones and making moves on the chessboard. Along the way, father's eyes drifted over from time to time. I can't bear to press my face.

The eldest brother ignored him and continued to download his own.My elder brother has repeatedly lost to me, so naturally I didn't have any interest in playing. I glanced at my father from time to time, motioning for him to take over.But my father ignored me and continued to read his book pretending not to see me.

Who doesn't know that the "Historical Records" in his hand has not been read since it stopped in the Eastern Han Dynasty...

Helpless, even if elder brother is a stinky chess basket, I can't just leave now, so I have to hide my helplessness and sit on the futon patiently to play another game with elder brother.The crown prince was sitting right in front of me, and the elder brother was behind him. He raised his head and looked at me, with the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes narrowed—he was obviously laughing at me!

I gave him a hard look, but the prince didn't care, turned his head away, and read his book again.Based on this nature, no matter how cold it is, he really looks a bit like the father.He was willing to hide my father's whereabouts and came to Chunyang to report my whereabouts and persuade me to go back. I have to say that he is very brainy, courageous and resourceful.However, compared to the father, the prince's personality is still a bit less ruthless and decisive than the father.If you think about it in the future, if you sharpen it, he must be a very good emperor.I can't help but say that the father's vision is indeed unique, and the most outstanding of the five brothers will really belong to the prince.

Eldest brother is a modest gentleman, if he can keep his family property in an ordinary wealthy family, and if he is lucky in the court, he can still be a stable prince and not care about world affairs.But the eldest brother is by no means the kind of person who enjoys it peacefully, not to mention the little Taoist boy next to him who never speaks and is now sitting in a carriage behind him, as far as his house occupies the extremely sunny position of Chunyang Mountain, I definitely can’t believe it. Determining the identity of the eldest brother in Chunyang is by no means as simple as being a disciple who is the head of the closed door, and the master of Quan Chunyang's morning class.

Perhaps it involved the reason why he was so persistent in leaving the palace back then.

Compared with the fifth brother, this child has never had much contact with me, and he feels that he has no hostility towards anyone.At the coronation ceremony, he also blessed me, and I don't think he is a very stubborn person.I think it's just that I haven't seen you for five years, and I'm not familiar with you, so you don't want to talk to me rashly.

Among the brothers, the fourth child is gentle but tactful, but he is also not ruthless enough, so it is best for the father to place him in the household department.There was no big deal when he came to the household department, that is, to be in charge of household registration and financial affairs. The fourth brother can not only monitor the flow of treasury finance and finance here, but also he who is in charge of the household department is really the best person to investigate. The household department, I believe that if the father wants to know which officials and eunuchs are in the capital, whether it is surveillance or arrest, the information may be enough to cover the sky with one hand.Although it is said that the status of the fourth brother's mother and concubine is too low, it is impossible to make him a prince, but now he is in the position of Minister of the Household Department, and he is considered to be very important.

Moreover, he also has a wife named Tianhui, who is the daughter of Guiguzi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. She can speak at the age of one and compose poems at the age of five. He went down to the Ministry of Industry and manufactured weapons for the Ministry of War.Even her name was bestowed by her father, who said she was extremely intelligent.With the unanimous joint letter from the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry, his father made an exception and named him the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the fourth rank.It is the first female court official since the founding of this dynasty, or in history.

I was not in the court at the time, although the rumors about being outside the Great Wall were still spreading, it was impossible for me not to know.The court made an exception for a woman to be an official, and some sour Confucians would definitely not allow it, but the two prime ministers, Li and Yang, who are the most powerful people in the world, tried their best to protect them. Real talents can be jointly signed by the elders of the family and the local household officials. The officials of the household department will screen and verify their talents by the emperor himself.

This imperial decree has to be said to be earth-shattering and weep ghosts and gods.The father's courage is really strong enough. He was able to withstand the pressure of the government and the joint resignation of the Confucians.Regarding this matter, some wise people even wrote a joint letter, praising the father and the emperor as a wise king for the first time, who can recruit talents.After this opportunity, some truly talented people stopped hiding from the world and took refuge in the imperial court.Genius Workshop is an organization established by all skilled craftsmen in the world after that.

Thinking of this, I weighed the white chess piece in my hand, and silently went down to the place I had planned earlier.

From this point of view, except for the Ministry of War, which is guarded by Liu Cheng, who has ulterior motives, the other five ministries, except the Ministry of Officials, are managed by the two prime ministers, Li and Yang, together with the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. Under the control of the father, it seems that only the Ministry of Rites is left, and the details of the Ministry of Punishment are still unknown.However, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the government decrees of etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes in the world, and it seems that it has nothing to do with real power.And the hands of the Ministry of Punishment are too wide.

The Ministry of Punishment examines various laws, reviews the criminal cases sent to the Ministry from various places, and jointly with the Jiuqing to try the death penalty cases of "in prison" and directly try the cases above the crimes in the Gyeonggi area.The internal organizational structure of the Ministry of Punishment is set up by provinces.But the Ministry of Punishment has missions all over the country, with many minions, its sphere of influence is not strong but wide enough, and its news is extremely well-informed.

I felt a little flustered in my heart. If the emperor intends to limit the size of the gentry's relatives, eradicate dissidents in the court, and ensure the internal stability of the country and the external surrender, then the military power of the Ministry of War must be taken back as soon as possible!But easier said than done.Taking back the military power, if not done well, will cause the mutiny of the military department and the rebellion of the rebels, and civil war will inevitably occur.Then, at the same time as the civil war, treasury funds, people's livelihood and food harvests, including commerce, will all suffer a considerable blow.

I looked up at my father, at this time he was still planning and planning, nothing more than trying to avoid these things, and regaining military power with a calm expression.Liu Cheng is a thoughtful and cautious person, and it is really very difficult to catch him.And behind him is the full support of the Liu family nobles. In the harem, the crown prince, mother and concubine Xiao Huangfei is Liu Cheng's daughter.The complex relationship among them cannot be explained in one word.If the emperor wants to regain military power, but also minimize the loss, he can only lay out slowly and wait for the opportunity.

This dynasty has only gone through two generations of emperors, and the country left by the emperor's grandfather is not easy, and his father's more than ten years of cultivation and recuperation must not be easily ruined by the recovery of military power, so whether it is a mutiny or a rebellion, it is a Unnecessary.

And even if Liu Cheng's military power is removed, who will control the military department is another difficult matter that must be considered.Liu Cheng is the only veteran in the court who can do it, and there is really no one who can replace him with round experience and round qualifications.If it weren't for his ulterior motives, it would not be in vain to be a generation of generals, a famous general left in Qing history.However, the facts are not satisfactory. Liu Cheng can stabilize the internal affairs by removing the repression of the gentry, but at the same time, the external deterrence will also be reduced.Northwest has already signed a covenant with Anadam, and they are not allowed to worry about it for a few years, but the Western Regions and other countries, and even the Xifan Kingdom, are by no means vegetarians.

On the surface, they have good relations with my country and trade with each other. In fact, everyone knows that snakes can't trust the ambitions of elephants. They have never given up.If there are too many internal changes in the court, I am afraid that this group of ambitious wolves will unite and attack immediately.The court is definitely not afraid of fighting, but at the same time, it also understands that it has finally developed, and the people have finally recuperated and improved. If there is a little bit of war at this time, then the hard work of the previous ten years will definitely be in vain.

After Liu Cheng is removed, someone must be sent to fill this vacancy immediately to deter the Western Regions!Although my mind was full of thoughts at this time, and the pieces in my hands were calm, I saw that I dropped the white pieces among the stars on the chessboard, and said calmly: "Brother, you lost."

The author has something to say: San'er is still very intelligent.As a scout, he can get full marks for analyzing the situation.

A child asked earlier, why didn't the father get rid of those rebellious parties because of his decisive personality?

Here is an explanation for you~

(Foreshadowing, foreshadowing)

After that, there will be various characters appearing~

Girls' School ①: In the Tang Dynasty, some well-to-do families gathered girls to study together. (Information is not very complete)

follow the teachings

As the new year was approaching, I shouldn't have gone on a long trip. This time, my father's departure from the palace was really sudden, and all the affairs in the palace were handled by the two prime ministers.When the father returned to the palace, it was already late at night, after passing the gate of the palace, he had to hastily order Li Donglai to go to the ritual hall in the palace to pack up a room for the elder brother.After all, he has become a monk, and he will inevitably be criticized if he lives in other places. First, he can only live in the ritual hall closest to the ancestral hall.

I just wanted to open my mouth and go to my elder brother, but my father followed me directly.
