Chapter 158

There is no reason why Zhuge Yan thinks so. Luo canglan and his grandfather Zhuge Xingzhi are the two prime ministers of the cabinet before and after the reign of Hongxi. The prime minister is the head of the civil servants, the upper auxiliary emperor and the lower anlishu. They are different from the foreign cabinet and the military. The cabinet prime minister is the first real civil servant, Because of this, their perspectives and methods of dealing with problems are very different from those of ordinary courtiers.

Now the government of Wei is in the ascendant, and Lu que is coming with the general situation. The glory of a commander in chief of the three armed forces is overwhelming. Zhuge Yan knew that although his grandfather Zhuge Xingzhi appreciated Lu que, he didn't want him to break the balance between the court and the court, and he didn't want him to be promoted so quickly. About this matter, his grandfather preferred the emperor to take back his life. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard of Sanpin was enough for Lu que.

However, Zhuge Xingzhi was the mentor of Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu. He had watched him grow up since he was a child and served as the assistant of the cabinet Prime Minister for many years. He knew the emperor's temperament very well. From the time the emperor watched the courtiers quarrel as if they were watching a play in the court, he knew that the matter had already been settled. No matter how many courtiers wrote to him, he could not change it. So as prime minister, the only thing he can do is to consider the future development of this matter.

There are only three masters in Wei's government. Lu Chun is in charge of the Changqing army, and Yu Chuqing is in charge of the Fengxiang army. Together, there are 300000 troops. It can be said that the whole emperor is in the hands of the couple. The emperor now means that after Lu que left the Academy, he would be given a real job to control the army.

Daqian has 12 main armies. Except Hanhai army and Jinghai army, there are 10 left. By that time, weiguogongyifu will have one-third of Daqian's army. In addition, Wei Jiu, commander of the badminton army and Ning Darong, commander of the Shanyin army, who are good friends with weiguogong, and Huairen, commander of the Tianhuo army and commander of the benlei army, who are good friends with zhugeju's son, In Zhuge Xingzhi's opinion, it is not a good thing that most of the troops in Daqian are directly or indirectly in the hands of the Lu family. During this period, he was deeply worried about it.

Although Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing did not mean to form a party to control the government, the potential power of the Lu family was too shocking and terrible. As a prime minister, it is a necessary quality to be defensive. What Zhuge Xingzhi is thinking about now is how to check and balance this force.

He thought that the emperor would be alert, but now it seems that the emperor is the biggest promoter of the whole thing, and even a little happy to see its success. Under such circumstances, Zhuge Xingzhi was powerless even if he wanted to persuade him. He really couldn't understand why the emperor did so. He was not afraid that he would not change his master once something happened.

"Yan'er, do you think the Duke of an has a way to check and balance the Lu family?" Frowning and thinking for a while, Zhuge Xingzhi suddenly said.

"The grandson doesn't understand that the eldest princess is the eldest sister of your majesty and has been assisting the government for many years. The Duke of Wei has made outstanding contributions and is the pillar of the court. Although they are in power, they never overstep the rules, and they have no misgivings. Lu is short of young talents. He made great achievements in leading the army for the first time. Why must he check and balance the Lu family? " Zhuge Yan finally said what he had been trying to say, but he didn't say.

Zhuge Yan really didn't understand what his grandfather was worried about. If the princess Chang and the Duke of Wei didn't give up, the throne would not be in his Majesty's hands at all. Lu que, however, is not that kind of person. He is not necessarily interested in sitting on the throne even if someone has spread the throne. For such a family, no matter how powerful they are, the emperor is not worried at all. He really can't understand why his grandfather was so preoccupied with checks and balances.

If the relationship between Wei state and Fu state is not good, it's all right. But the fact is that his father zhugeju and Wei state's brother of life and death are close friends with Lu que. Both Duke Wei and Princess Chang and Lu que are heroes of the same generation. Naturally, they can infer his intention from his grandfather's actions. Isn't it plain that this has damaged the relationship between the two families? When the time comes, father Wei and Duke Wei, and Lu Que and themselves, will have how to get along with each other.

"Well, I don't want to be like this." Zhuge Xingzhi looked at his grandson Zhuge Yan's puzzled and resentful expression and sighed, "if I were not the prime minister, I would be happy to see it. But in his position, he has to make his own policies. Naturally, I know that neither Princess Chang, nor Duke Wei, nor your good friend Lu que is like that. However, this trend of taking Lu que as the tide has been enough to shake the foundation of the royal family and place the stability of the imperial court and the country on one's heart, which is not enough. "

"But why do you have to be your grandfather? There are also prime ministers in the cabinet, such as the second prime minister, the left prime minister, the right prime minister and the foreign Prime Minister. There are also Zhongyang king and Wu Jin marquis in the outer cabinet. There are also adults in the court. My Zhuge family and Lu family have two generations of friendship. My grandson thinks that this should not be my Zhuge family. I think my father and I have the same idea."

Zhuge Xingyan was a little silent. Although he was a supreme minister and took the world as his own duty, he was old after all. Sooner or later, Zhuge Ju and his grandson Zhuge Yan would hand over the assistant government which had been standing for more than 200 years. Zhuge Yan's words represented the attitude of the next two generations of Zhuge family.

From the perspective of public mindedness, he is just taking precautions. That unspeakable thing has not happened, and there is a great chance that it will never happen. From the perspective of selfishness, the two generations of the Zhuge family are close friends with the Lu family. Lu que returns to Beijing with the general trend. As long as the Zhuge family stands on the side of the Lu family and the relationship between Zhuge Yan and Lu que, the future official positions will not be bad.

Just like when Lu Chun invited his son zhugeju to join the new army of Tianhuo, zhugeju did not listen to his advice and went his own way to join the army. But because of this, zhugeju became the only commander in charge of the army of Zhuge family who had been developing in the civil service for more than 200 years.

As Zhuge Yan said, the three of the Lu family are all outstanding people in the world. Once they do something, it's easy for them to see it. Even if the Lu family can't say anything, it's hard for them to get angry. Then the friendship between the two generations of Zhuge family and Lu Qian's father and son is over. It's not in Zhuge's interest to go to the opposite side of the Lu family in Wei country, especially at this time.

"Am I really old?" Zhuge Xingzhi had a gray beard in his hand, and suddenly felt exhausted. If he doesn't do anything, in case Lu Jiaxing does something with his minister Ling Jun in the future, or even changes the day, how can he face to see Emperor Xuan. But if he did, it would probably involve his children and grandchildren, even the whole Zhuge family in the auxiliary country, so he would not have the face to meet the ancestors of Zhuge family.

"Yan'er, what do you say grandfather should do?" Zhuge Xingzhi slowly sat on the seat, looking a little tired said.

"I think grandfather should go to the palace to see his majesty."

"Why?" Zhuge Xingzhi looked at Zhuge Yan in surprise. He didn't expect that this wise grandson would let him enter the palace to face the saint at this time.

"My grandfather's worry is that my grandson understands that my Zhuge family is top-ranking and noble. I can't be a pure minister because of my family background. My grandfather has been a prime minister for many years. In order to maintain the stability of the court, he also used a lot of tricks. Therefore, my Zhuge family can't be a direct minister. As for the counsellors, naturally, they are from the Yushitai group. Then we can only be loyal and virtuous ministers. That's why my grandfather wants to go to the palace to see his majesty."

"What will you say when you see your majesty?" Zhuge Xingzhi was slightly stunned. He understood Zhuge Yan's meaning as soon as he turned his mind. A little comfort flashed in his eyes, but every half of it appeared on his face.

"Grandfather, you have been in a high position for many years, so it's hard to avoid thinking too much about things. But grandson thinks that sometimes it's more effective to be simple and direct. Grandfather can directly report your worries to his majesty. No matter whether his majesty listens or not, he won't blame his grandfather, and he won't spread the news. In this way, we don't offend the Lu family, and grandfather will do his duty, Your majesty will also remember your grandfather's loyalty. "

"Yan'er ~" ZHUGE Xingzhi took a light look at Zhuge Yan and said, "you've been smart since you were a child, but you should know that you have to be upright in life. Our Zhuge family has been granted the title of Duke by Emperor Taizu. It's extremely noble. You should think of the world as a whole. Do you understand?"

"Grandchildren are taught, but there is no way." Zhuge Yan bowed himself, but insisted.

"Alas, the more pure ministers there are, the less power there will be. It seems that my majesty and I made a mistake in promoting the sons of the aristocratic family to balance the poor students. The future of Da Qian depends on your generation. Your majesty may also have some considerations in his insistence on promoting Lu Que's official position. He only hopes that he will live up to his holy will and become the Minister of Liang Zhu."

"Grandfather, don't worry. The reason why my grandson made friends with Lu que is not because of his identity, nor his talent, but because of his far superior nature. He is not a private person, nor a delusional person. Time will prove that your worry today is unnecessary."

"I hope so. You step back first. I need to think about it again."

"Do you want a reply from the government of an? After all, it's the first post of Luo."

"At the turn of winter and spring, I feel cold and weak, which is not good at walking. It's almost March now, and the students of Fengming academy are coming back to Beijing one after another. Everything is complicated. I think the Lord of Luo has a lot to do. I told the people of Luo that when I get well, I will visit the Academy in person. "

"Yes, my grandson is leaving." Zhuge Yan was relieved and left with a smile. He knew that although his grandfather had not made a clear statement, his words meant that his grandfather had accepted his advice and would not be embarrassed by the Lu family any more. For Zhuge Yan, it was the best choice for him to do so in his country, home and friends, and he firmly believed that his father, who was far away in the northern Xinjiang Tianhuo army, thought the same way.

At the same time, in the account of the Chinese army in Fengxiang barracks, military commander Yu Chuqing, deputy commander Gu Jieyun and military strategist Su Leyi are sitting opposite each other drinking tea. They are chatting about the interesting things in the academy and the past in the mountains. For a moment, they are laughing and laughing.

"Your Highness, the bait is almost ready. It's time to take in the net." Gu Jieyun, deputy commander-in-chief of Fengxiang army, suddenly said that she was straightforward, and she didn't like men. Naturally, she didn't like the private villains in the aristocratic family. He knew that during this period, Princess Yu Chuqing and Duke Lu Chun of Wei were staying in Fengxiang and Changqing army respectively, just to see how many people would try to revoke the imperial edict of pursuing Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, and what they were thinking about.

Now it seems that the Ministry of rites and the imperial censor's platform are more out of the public's will. After all, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are too young, and those middle and small aristocratic families who jump up and down are somewhat intriguing. Gu Jieyun really can't understand why these middle and small aristocratic family officials are doing things that harm others and do not benefit themselves, to show their existence or to declare their strength? In her eyes, these people are just like clowns.

"Each generation has its own business. The Qingyang Empire destroyed by our generation, and then the northern frontier counties were opened up to develop the people's livelihood. What should be done has already been done, and the rest is left to the next generation to do. Otherwise, if we have done everything, our descendants will have to lie in the glory of their ancestors and not think about making progress." Yu Chuqing shook her head and said with a smile.

As the princess assistant administrator of that year, even if she stayed at home, she knew exactly what happened in the imperial capital. But at this time, she also wanted to understand that both she and Lu Chun, or their son Lu que, were just passers-by of the Empire. So why care so much. Just like the previous emperors of Da Qian, after abdication, they left the country behind and devoted themselves to the pursuit of eternal martial arts.

"Twenty years ago, we were able to level off the rebellion together, and then we went to the north to march on the grassland together. We didn't want to snap our fingers. In a moment, the next generation has grown up. It's time for us to abdicate and give up our talents." Su Leyi said with some emotion.

As a think tank of Fengxiang army and a good friend of Yu Chuqing, he has heard a lot of things. As an outsider, Su Leyi has a thorough understanding of the whole thing. The eldest princess and the Duke of Wei are going to leave Daqian, and his majesty is going to abdicate. Then a leader in the next generation of Daqian must come forward, And this leader must be able to shield the new emperor from the wind and rain and escort the new Emperor just like the eldest princess of that year, then it can only be the eldest princess Yu Tianxiang and the son of Wei state Lu que.

Watching Lu que grow up in bugui mountain as a child, she naturally knows who Lu que is. She has never thought about the possibility that only exists in the possibility, so this time the Su family of Wei state will stand firmly behind Lu que, because in her opinion, there is no more suitable person than Lu que. Even her nephew Su Duo is far inferior to Lu que.

"Da Qian needs the talents of the younger generation, and the younger generation is really full of stars, and the talent is even more prosperous than ours. At that time, let alone the lack of children, Su duo and Gu Qianxue of your two families are both military commanders in my opinion. Besides, Yun Xiansi, Zhuge Yan, Bai Suoguang, Li Chang, ye Zhiqiu and Yan Zheng are all pillars. Since the future of Da Qian will be handed over to them sooner or later, they should be given more opportunities to grow up. " Yu Chuqing took a sip of the tea cup.

"Your Highness, will the process be too fast?" Su Leyi picked up the kettle on the charcoal fire, a set of warm pot water flow, do elegant, let a person see feel pleasing to the eye.

"No, I'm afraid there will be great changes if we can't defeat the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang in ten years. The grassland people are all soldiers, coming and going like the wind, brave and fierce. The Qingyang Empire has been destroyed for 16 years. If you give them more time to develop, they may really want to develop the climate. " Yu Chuqing shook her head.

She knew that her son regarded fame and wealth as a thing of the past, and despised power and wealth. She also wholeheartedly supported him to ascend the throne. Besides being her own son, she thought that Lu que had the talent and the ability to fulfill the aspirations of the previous emperors.

As for whether Lu que would be addicted to such things in power, Yu Chuqing never thought about it. Whether it was possible or not, even if it happened, she let Da Qian's throne go out by herself. Even if her son wanted to take it back, it was a matter of course in Yu Chuqing's eyes. It didn't matter who was going to be the emperor, The most important thing is that the great qiantianxia was developed by the former emperors.

"If we hadn't been trapped for 12 years, there would have been no three kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang." Gu Jieyun's eyes flashed a trace of Li mang. The reason why she didn't get married and have children was that her beloved died in the northern Xinjiang war. Gu Jieyun never had a good feeling for these murderous and brutal grassland people who were like bandits and vagrants. He wanted to get rid of them.

"That said, after all, things have happened. Now the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang have divided up the pastures north of Piaoxue mountain and Hanshan mountain. The population of Qingyang Empire has been expanding for 16 years. If this continues, the scene of the grassland army going south will certainly happen again. I think Bai Yi is not worthy of his name of killing gods. How can the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang have any national strength? It's better to consume it like this, It's better to succeed in the first World War. " Su Leyi took a look at the map of Northern Xinjiang hanging on the wall. In her eyes, the two countries in the south are only suffering from scabies, and the grassland in Northern Xinjiang is suffering.

Although both Su Leyi and Gu Jieyun were born in the imperial residence, they have been in the army since they graduated from the Academy. In Zhuge Xing's eyes, the important balance of the court situation is just a joke. There is no skin to hide, no hair to attach. Only by destroying the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang, can Da Qian usher in real peace. It is not too late to sort out the government at that time.

"Bai Yi's Longxiang army has been stationed in the south, and it must take a year or two to get familiar with it when it is suddenly transferred to the north. Moreover, zhugeju, the current commander of Tianhuo army and the former commander of Panshi army, is at odds with Bai Yisu. Even if Bai Yi wants to integrate the troops in Northern Xinjiang, he is also powerless."

"How can Bai Yi, the current commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang, compare with Lu Shuai at that time?" Gu Jieyun disdains to say, in his eyes Bai Yi is a different worldly, inhuman madman, in addition to leading the war can also, without any advantages.

"As long as he can maintain the situation in Northern Xinjiang, the rest is left to queer. By this time, he should have returned to Beijing by boat." Yu Chuqing looks out of the account. She knows that her son, who has missed more than 100 days and nights, is coming back by boat.
