Chapter 539

"Absurd. It's a taboo for military strategists to change commanders when they are in battle. Although the danger of animal tide has been solved, there is still Nanli kingdom. Nanli Wang Liyong is the first to go northward. Obviously, he wants to fight hard. Now, in addition to Lu Shuai, who else can integrate the major legions in southern Xinjiang, and who else can make millions of soldiers in southern Xinjiang obey their orders? It's not appropriate for Fu Guogong to say so. " Foreign Minister min Wensheng said with an unhappy face.

As far as the country is concerned, Lu que is now the only choice for the commander of the southern expedition. Just like the previous battle of the beast tide, even if yu Yuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, and Gu Huairen, the Duke of Dingguo were both in southern Xinjiang, Lu que, the commander of Southern Xinjiang, should be the main choice, because now, whether it's mind, vision, talent and learning, the ability of commanding troops, the power of layout, or the reputation among soldiers, Only Lu que is the most suitable person.

As far as the overall situation of the poor is concerned, Lu que is the leader of the new generation of poor students, with the hope of the rise of the poor. In order to make the poor family rise again, it is not enough to rely on military achievements and prestige. Without power, especially military power, all prestige is just castles in the air. Although Lu Kuo was sure to step down after the war in southern Xinjiang, as long as Qing Jun, the first commander of Daqian army, was still in Lu Kuo's hands, the poor family would have the strength to fight against the aristocratic family.

Even if Daqian's military and political affairs are separated, and the inner and outer pavilions do not belong to each other, it is very important to have a hundred battle elite guarding the imperial capital for the support of the imperial court. Just like the rise of the humble family more than 20 years ago, it was because Lu Chun led the army outside, Bailijia conspired, and there were plans inside. Among the new generation of poor families, ye Zhiqiu is just like Bai Lijia in those days. What he lacks is only military achievements and reputation.

After returning to Beijing, Lu que was a combination of the three heroes of that year. Because the Changqing army was originally stationed in the capital, and the badminton army and Fengxiang army stationed in the imperial capital had fought under his command, the influence and deterrent power of Lu Que in the imperial court was even greater than that of Lu Chun of that year.

Moreover, min Wensheng is very clear that Lu que will come back sooner or later. He holds half of the elite of the big cadres and takes charge of dozens of counties in southern Xinjiang. Even if the emperor is at ease, the court officials will not be at ease. But Lu can't come back now. In the battle of heaven and stars, Lu que only took charge of the whole situation and did not lead the troops in person. In the battle of beast tide, although Lu que led his troops to a great victory, it always made people feel that there was something missing. Only when Lu que went down to the South to destroy Nanli king, the country, the beast tide, and the layout and control were combined, can Lu Que's power really reach its peak and become an unshakable figure.

Although Prime Minister Zhuge Xingzhi's words are high sounding, anyone can understand that he wants Lu to return to Beijing, that is to prevent Lu's reputation from rising to a higher level, so as to suppress Lu's momentum and achieve a new balance in the DPRK. In Min Wensheng's opinion, there is no difference between cracking down on Lu Que and cracking down on Han men. This is why he, who has the least seniority in the cabinet, will directly say the word absurd in front of the prime minister Zhuge Xing.

"Zhongyang king and Ding Guogong are our top military ministers. Bai Shuai, Wei Shuai and Shen Shuai are all military generals. Bai Shuai is a famous commander who has never been defeated in battle. In Min Xiang's opinion, they are all illustrious people, not as good as Lu que, a 17-year-old boy?" Zhuge Xingzhi takes a light look at Min Wensheng, then looks at the princess Yu Chuqing, but the words are extremely strong.

"You ~" when min Wensheng heard that his speech was stagnant, Zhuge Xingzhi did not mention Lu Kuo's contribution, and said both the two military prime ministers and the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, but min Wensheng could not refute it, because they were much better than Lu Kuo in terms of seniority. Everyone was promoted to his present position by virtue of his meritorious deeds. If min Wensheng said that these people were not as good as Lu Kuo, Once it's out there, more people will be offended.

Min Wensheng, the right prime minister, said: "in the battle of beast tide, Lu Shuai's achievements can shine through the sun and the moon, but it takes a lot of effort to plan for the overall situation. At this time, he returned to Beijing to confer the title and was led by Zhongyang king and Ding Guogong to attack Nanli. Besides, Changqing, Yulin and Fengxiang are all in southern Xinjiang. Since the danger of animal tide has been solved, they should be transferred back to the imperial capital to prevent accidents. "

Lacquer carving does not mean to aim at Lu que. He just thinks that the twelve legions of Daqian are the most powerful. Among them, the three legions of Changqing, Yulin and Fengxiang are the Beijing army, the seven legions of Panshi, Tianhuo, Shanyin, longyi, FanFeng, Huxiao and benlei are the border army, and the rest are the Jing Navy and Hanhai army, which are stationed in the East and southeast sea. Now the three legions of the imperial capital are not in the capital, which always makes people feel a little uneasy.

As far as lacquer carving is concerned, Lu's speed of promotion has been an isolated example for more than 200 years. In his view, Lu que has made great contributions to bring him and his evergreen army back to consolidate the imperial capital. On the other hand, it can also protect Lu que. It's not a good thing to know that young people are too well-known. Lu que is still young and has many opportunities with his talents, such as the grassland Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang.

Moreover, lacquer carving knows that the reform of Nanli has not been completed. For more than ten years, the local aristocrats in Nanli are resentful of the royal family. It only takes a chance to make Nanli fall apart in an instant. In this regard, both Zhongyang king and Dingguo Gong are competent. Even if the Changqing army returns to Beijing, there will be thunder, wind and tiger roaring in southern Xinjiang, As well as the six legions of Yulin, Fengxiang and Jinghai in the aspect of Tianxing, there is only enough military resources to let the two military prime ministers go. In this way, we can share the general's achievements and make everyone happy.

Hearing the words of lacquer carving, min Wensheng's face suddenly changed. As soon as he wanted to speak, he heard the eldest princess Yu Chuqing say, "what do you think of Zuo Xiang?"

Shen Wujiu took a look at several faces, thought about it a little, and said, "Your Highness, I think this is not something we should discuss, let alone discuss it in the Wenhua Hall of the cabinet. The separation of the army and the government under the patriarchal system of Da Qian should be decided by his majesty and the cabinet. The responsibility of the cabinet is to prepare food and grass, and to assist the Department of ordnance and the Department of military manufacture in building weapons. Moreover, the evergreen army is his Majesty's own army. Even if the court has no right to control it, whether or not to transfer the evergreen army back to the imperial capital is up to his Majesty's discretion. "

Hearing Shen Wujiu's words, Yu Chuqing shows a smile on her face and looks at Zhuge Xingzhi and lacquer carving. At this time, both of them turn pale slightly. Because Shen Wujiu is right. The two pavilions stand side by side and cooperate with each other, but they do not belong to each other. If Princess Yu Chuqing is not here, it's OK. But just now, when she said it in front of the assistant princess, it's really a little overstepping.

"Shen Xiang's words are very true." As soon as min Wensheng's eyes brightened, he felt a little admiration for Shen Wujiu. He said that the separation of military and political affairs between the inner and outer pavilions, and the cabinet had no right to interfere in the military affairs of the outer pavilions, completely blocked Zhuge Xingzhi's idea of transferring Lu Kuo back to the capital, and issued the patriarchal system of Da Qian. Even if someone wanted to suppress Lu Kuo at this time, it was impossible.

In the three phases of the military, marshal Lu Chun is the father of Lu que, the future father-in-law of Lu que is Huairen, and the younger brother-in-law of Lu que is Yu Yuanpu. In addition to these three people, there are only two people in Da Qian who have the right to transfer Lu que back. One is the eldest princess Yu Chuqing, and the other is the Emperor himself.

Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, was the mother of Lu que, and Lu Que's commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang was personally granted by the emperor. Compared with Lu Que's momentum at this time, it was undoubtedly more important for the emperor to destroy Nanli and unify Southern Xinjiang. It was impossible for the emperor to transfer Lu que back. Not only that, after the war of animal tide, Lu que had become the only commander in chief for the emperor to unify Southern Xinjiang, even to march northward to restore the territory of the three dynasties.

Thinking of this, min Wensheng saluted Yu Chuqing and said, "Your Highness, please don't pass on what you just said. Otherwise, the departments and departments of the outer cabinet may give birth to our cabinet's desire to seize the power of the outer cabinet while the three military ministers of the outer cabinet are not in the capital. There will be a gap if you misunderstand. Now that the war in southern Xinjiang is not out, the inner and outer cabinet need to help each other, If something happens to the country, please ask your highness Haihan. "

When Yu Chuqing heard the speech, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. Although min Wensheng didn't mention Zhuge Xingzhi, the prime minister, or the right prime minister, in his words, he overturned everything they had just said with one sentence, and firmly tied up their intention and accusation of using the cabinet to exercise the power of the cabinet. In particular, min Wensheng was one of the five prime ministers of the cabinet. He admitted his mistake on behalf of the cabinet, which proved that the cabinet was really wrong.

"Min Xiang, you're welcome." Yu Chuqing held out her hand and said, "the two pavilions do not belong to each other, which is the ancestral system set by Taizu. I believe that the old Prime Minister and the right Prime Minister do not want to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for the power of the outer pavilions, so we should not have heard it."

"But ~" Yu Chuqing said, looking at Prime Minister Zhuge Xingzhi, "but the old prime minister just said something wrong."

"Oh? I am willing to listen to your Highness's comments. " Zhuge Xingzhi's face didn't change and said faintly.

"The old prime minister just said that at this time there were Zhongyang king, Heyang king, Dingguo Gong, Wu'an Marquis, Wu Jing Marquis, Wu Yi Marquis and many other military ministers and famous generals in southern Xinjiang, but the war of national annihilation was not an ordinary battle, and it needed extraordinary people to control the overall situation. As far as this is concerned, these people are not as good as Lu que, the son of our palace. "

At this point, Yu Chuqing took two steps forward, picked up Lu Que's handwritten biography, folded it, put it back in his sleeve, and then went on to say, "you all experienced military training when you were young, but if my palace remembers correctly, apart from Min Xiang, Lao Guogong, Shen Xiang and lacquer carving prime minister have never experienced large-scale battles, let alone the war of national annihilation."

At this point, without waiting for a few people to answer, Yu Chuqing said to himself, "but these are all experiences of our palace. When we fought against the blue river with the Qingyang people, our palace was the witness. Later, we conquered the grassland and destroyed Qingyang, and our Fengxiang army formed its own way. It is not difficult for us to win a large-scale battle at the level of national war with our great national and military strength. However, it is not possible for ordinary military commanders to destroy a country and cut off the inheritance of national sovereignty. In my palace's view, there are only two people who are capable of doing this. One is my husband Lu Chun, Duke of Wei state, and the other is my son Lu que, commander-in-chief of Nanjiang. I wonder if the prime ministers agree with my palace's statement? "

With that, Yu Chuqing took two steps forward. Although she didn't release the momentum of the peak of the disaster, the breath of her body made the four people, including min Wensheng, cold. At this time, the four people seemed to see the princess who helped the emperor ascend the throne and ordered to kill his brother and kill the rebellious marquis. Domineering and powerful, she is the princess of the assistant minister, who stands high above the others and tries hard to suppress the officials.

"Your Highness is right." Premier Zhuge Xingzhi sighed and said, "in terms of talent, ability, reputation and military achievements, both Wei Guogong and Lu xiaodushuai are capable of unifying the army and destroying the country. However, sages once said that only the emperor can live up to the world's expectations. In this regard, how does your highness teach the old minister? Your highness should know that you are first the eldest princess of Daqian, and then the mother. "

"The old prime minister said that the palace has selfish intentions?" Yu Chuqing smiles and shakes her head. "The old Prime Minister should understand that the family name of Daqian Tianxia is Yu. Even if the palace has selfish intentions, it has nothing to do with the old prime minister, not to mention the cabinet."

"So, I beg to leave." Zhuge Xingzhi was so angry that he got up and took out the prime minister's gold seal in his arms. Lacquer carving Shu, Shen Wujiu and min Wensheng all changed their faces slightly. They didn't expect that the eldest princess was so powerful. Although the eldest princess is right, the owner of Daqian is the royal family Yu. As the ministers of Daqian, they are also the family ministers of Yu. But even the emperor would not say this.

And if Zhuge Xingzhi resigns, it will be more shocking than Ji Zhiheng. You should know that Zhuge Xingzhi is Fu Guogong, the leader of nobility, the Prime Minister of Daqian, and the first person in the cabinet. In the present cabinet, Prime Minister Liu Buyi and right Prime Minister lacquer carving are both 60-70-year-old ministers. Their official career has reached its peak. The prestige of left Prime Minister Shen Wujiu and foreign minister min Wensheng is not enough to take over the post of prime minister. Unless Duke Lu Chun returns from northern Xinjiang, no one will have the ability and prestige to become prime minister for the time being.

"Does the old Prime Minister want to resign the Duke of Zhuge family?" Yu Chuqing took two steps forward and said, looking at Zhuge Xingzhi faintly.

"This ~" ZHUGE Xingzhi put his hand into his arms and looked up at Princess Yu Chuqing. At his age, even if he doesn't resign, he won't be a prime minister for several years, so to be honest, he doesn't care much. Zhuge Xingzhi is very clear that the tide of beasts has been decided, so the princess Yu Chuqing will certainly act. He wants to resign, not because of Yu Chuqing's words, but because he has really thought about it.

The emperor and the eldest princess wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, and even dig the foundation of the aristocratic family. In this way, they could not only remove the cancer, but also let all the people in the world depend on the imperial power. Zhuge Xingzhi knew this. He is very clear that such a process will be accompanied by countless bloody, he does not want to happen in his office.

However, the position of Duke Wei was different. It was a title given by Taizu, who promised that he could rest with the state. As long as the emperor's reign lasted for one day, the Zhuge family would be prosperous. But if he lost his position as Duke of the Kingdom, Zhuge's status would collapse and his glory would disappear. And Zhuge Xingzhi also thought of a deeper level, that is, the royal family wanted to suppress not only the local deep-rooted aristocratic families, but also the gradually growing nobility class.
