Chapter 1004: The Beginning of Trouble
Maurius. Yadea goes fast and comes back quickly. After she came back, she took a few official letters, which contained official letters from several government officials when Zhang Liang was transferring troops. Without exception, those official letters have been sealed and executed by the relevant departments, just waiting for the emperor to seal and then file and seal.
After reading it, Lu Zhe said as if he was muttering to himself: "It seems that it is really a bit much?" ”
Luo Shao was depressed, what he wanted was not such a light response from the emperor!
In the final analysis, the system of the empire is really a little messy, before it was mainly tilted to the military, even if there was a problem, it was suppressed indefinitely, but now it is just Lu Zhe slightly transferred to internal affairs, big things have not been done, but small problems are constantly appearing, which is enough to explain many problems.
Lu Yi secretly glanced at his father, who was thinking, and then looked at Luo Shao sympathetically, just when he saw Luo Shao also looking at him, he subconsciously smiled.
"This ...... Jianguo, who is too young, although he has a reputation for being smart, but Wenchen was affected by a few words. Luo Shao has a lot of opinions about Lu Yi in his heart. He thinks that if Lu Yi hadn't opened his mouth first, there wouldn't have been so many things later. He thought, "Your Majesty seems to have mentioned that the princes will enter the army when they reach a certain age?" It is really necessary to let the prince, especially this one, enter the army for a period of time, Your Majesty relies on force to fight the world, but you can't let the follow-up monarch not understand the military, and then be taken to the ditch by Wenchen in a few words. ”
If Lu Yi knew what Luo Yao was thinking, he would definitely shout: "Wronged!" ”。 That's right, after a detailed discussion with Xiao He and Zhang Liang, he ordered the transfer of troops to the forbidden army. But the transfer of the army is not something that can be transferred by the superintendent, and it is not with the permission of the emperor in advance? The emperor allowed it, and he also thought that Luo County could not be messed up. Everything is out of the consideration of maintaining stability, so it is not that Wenchen was fooled by two sentences.
Xiao He, who was not far away, saw that the emperor and the lieutenant were not continuing to chat, he thought about it and slowly got closer, but just when he got closer, he heard Lu Yi asking Luo Yao about the military, and immediately subconsciously quickened his pace.
The whole empire knew that the emperor attached great importance to the military, and when did Xiao often think about one point, that is, does the country need to always attach importance to force? He knew that at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was a rise in the chaos of the world. Sweeping the world naturally requires strong force, but it doesn't seem good to still focus on force after sweeping the world!
"The empire is expanding outward, and it is difficult for border counties to immigrate. The army has been expanding its territory, but there is no Qiantou after the defeat, and the land is empty and no one develops it, so it depends on the army to ensure that the territory is not lost. In this way, even disarmament has its limits. Xiao He sighed lowly. pondered: "It is not easy to change Your Majesty's mind, only to find a way from the successor monarch." Your Majesty's generation can continue to open up the territory, and the successor will focus on construction, which may be a solution? ”
Not...... Focusing on construction is a nice way to say, in fact, the civil official group hopes that there will be such an emperor who can attach importance to civil officials, that is because Lu Zhe is too heavy on the military, and civil officials need to have a little bit of military energy if they want to establish some great feats, and it is not easy for the rest to come forward.
Finally, the military opened up the territory too violently. It is difficult to immigrate to the ground that has been conquered, and it is time for the civilian clique to show its hand. They are interested in solving problems for the emperor, but the enthusiasm of immigrants who can't rely on Qianshou is really not high, in short, it is not easy to do.
No one can blame the civilian group for doing bad things, but Xiao He and a group of civil officials have talked in detail, no matter how ineffective the civilian officials are, it is the trend that the military general group should be suppressed.
At present, there are more than 800 nobles in the empire, and nearly eighty percent of them are from the military, and this structure cannot but be said to completely show the weakness of the civilian bureaucracy, and this will feel inappropriate if you think about it for a while.
Xiao He used the question of the spring flood of the Yangtze River to play, which was the first time he tested the water after a detailed discussion with Zhang Liang. If this is feasible, they can be regarded as finding a way for the civilian officials below, and perhaps they can slowly make the boundary between the civilian and military less clear, and the civilian officials who want to meddle in the military will always have room for maneuver.
Wanting to have the initiative is one thing, Xiao He and Zhang Liang naturally have a deeper intention to create conditions for Lu Yi, who is in Nanling to be close to the civilian group, and deliberately try to reach out to the military, which is tantamount to killing two birds with one stone.
"What are Your Highness and the Captain talking about?" Xiao He didn't care about being rude or anything, and asked quietly after passing, and then brought the topic to Luo County, and said: "One step closer, if it goes well, the first batch of immigrants will be able to start setting off in a month." ”
Luo Yan glanced at Xiao He with a smile on his face, then at the emperor next to him who continued to think about something, and finally looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yizai nodded, with a smile on his face, and responded: "It's good to be able to immigrate, the army always needs people to develop the territory." ”
Luo Shao immediately laughed "hehehe", he said: "The army has not disappointed His Majesty and the people, it is very gratifying. ”
Xiao He heard it, it was Luo Shao releasing a signal of dissatisfaction, and it was estimated that he had sensed something to do so. However, he didn't care about Luo Shao's dissatisfaction, pretended not to understand, and chatted with Lu Yi with great interest about the relocation of the people to the border counties.
Migrating people to border counties is indeed the center of gravity of the future empire, but the situation has always shown that if some unconventional means are not used, there will not be many leaders willing to take the initiative to migrate.
"It's always an unconventional method, if it can be solved by a formal solution, why bother?" When Lu Zhe said this, he found that his father's eyes moved over, "hehe" laughed twice, and asked, "Father, did you say yes?" ”
Lu Zhe didn't pay attention to his son, but looked at Xiao He and said, "Prepare for the government, and return to Nanling in the afternoon." ”
Lu Yi was stunned, Luo shook was stunned, and Xiao He was naturally stunned.
Luo was stunned for a moment and was extremely happy in his heart, he knew that the emperor would not let the civilian clique make any small moves against the military, and at the same time, he felt extremely relieved, the emperor had such an attitude, which showed that the status of the military was still the highest.
Xiao He was stunned for a moment and then hesitated: "Your Majesty......"
"Oppressing the leaders under the rule by military force is a means. But I don't like it. Lu Zhe looked at Xiao He expressionlessly: "Once the army is used for internal deterrence, it will become a routine for the first time, and if there is any problem in the future, the army will be pulled out." Is it true that one carelessly wants to let the army bloody suppression? ”
Lu Yi pursed his lips in his heart, and even thought a little puzzled: "Dad, what do you think!" In addition to the external world, the army naturally also has to be internal, and the people have always been ignorant, not only with kindness and gentleness! ”
Luo Shao was bowing his head, and he agreed with the emperor's words without thinking about it. The army should be used against foreign enemies. What's the point of using the army against the people you want to protect? The army's soldiers come from the people, and once the army begins to raise its sword against the people at home, the glory of the army is tantamount to being trampled on. With the first military discipline, it cannot be restrained, and the blade that is originally external will be extremely sharp internally, and it is better not to have such a thing happen unless it is forced to do so.
No matter what others thought or thought, Xiao He's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat when his words were interrupted by the emperor. He thought, "The emperor is really still the emperor. As long as the national policy of opening up to the outside world remains unchanged, we will never allow anything to hinder the military. He thought about it and looked at Lu Yi, but saw Lu Yi laughing a little embarrassed.
Xiao He thought that Lu Yi was embarrassed to show a tough side internally, and he was a little relieved and a little helpless when he thought of this.
As a civil servant, Xiao He had a joyful attitude when he met a benevolent king, and although the first emperor of the founding monarch was tough and iron-blooded externally, he had a gentle attitude internally.
Xiao He couldn't guess how long the emperor's inward gentleness would last. I don't know if the emperor's mildness is forced to endure, ang or heart. But it is better to be gentle internally than to be harsh; The monarch of the second generation is still young, and he has been smart and insightful for a long time, as a first-in-line heir, he is qualified, and it is rare that Lu Yi seems to have inherited Lu Zhe's internal gentleness, but some of his actions are a little tender because of his young age, but that is not a big deal.
Lu Yi was embarrassed by something, it was embarrassment Luo shook his eyes.
What kind of eyes is Luo Yao looking at Lu Yi? He looked at Lu Yi with a sad and depressed look, and fully showed the military's helplessness against some of Lu Yi's behaviors.
To be honest, Lu Yi naturally attaches great importance to the military, and if he encounters a time when he has to choose a side, he would never think that he would directly choose the military instead of the civilian clique.
"Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and I'm not stupid!" Lu Yi gave Luo Shao a shy smile and thought: "Dad is the founder of the country who came out of the troubled times, and I don't know if I can inherit the throne smoothly, but when it is my turn to be the helmsman of the empire, I will definitely continue to open up outward!" ”
To put it bluntly, Lu Yi is not gentle on the inside, he just thinks that Xiao He and Zhang Liang have the need to win over, so he is not willing to take things too seriously. What is it for him to be inwardly gentle? As long as he can achieve the desired goal, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he is gentle or not, the only thing he has in common with Lu Zhe is that he is very, very interested in expanding his territory.
Lu Zhe talked about going to the center of the world island countless times, and maybe the rest of the people were puzzled by stepping through the Gobi, swamps, and deserts to occupy the land in the distance, but Lu Yi definitely knew what his father was thinking.
What's in the West of the Western Regions? There is a land full of Gobi and desert, where it is impossible to grow food, but it is buried deep underground...... It doesn't seem to be all deeply buried, anyway, there is something out there that can change the world, and that thing is oil!
Of course, now the empire hasn't even made a steam engine, gasoline, diesel, whatever kind of oil it is, anyway, there is no need for oil for the time being, but there is always nothing wrong with taking it first.
Lu Yi didn't know that his father didn't know the importance of Lu Qi, but he knew one thing very well from being in contact with Lu Qi, that is, Lu Qi was definitely a monster in the field of science and technology. He once accidentally looked through some of Lu Qi's notes, which were some blueprints about the design of internal combustion engines!
In fact, the production of the steam engine is not difficult, the difficulty is the metallurgical limitations, there are not enough qualified materials, and the manufactured steam engine is easy to explode. For the internal combustion engine, it is actually limited to metallurgy.
Lu Yi guessed that Lu Qi's idea was probably to start with the materials first, as long as the materials could keep up, it was obvious that he wanted to jump the steam engine to the stage of the internal combustion engine. He knew a little more clearly, probably when he came to the emperor's journey, Lu Qi had always been in the metallurgical factory in the capital, as if he had some new formula for steel, and Lu Qi's excitement could be clearly detected in the occasional chat.
Demon Ah, this is, but Lu Yi is not an ordinary expectation, he already understands the importance of Lu Qi to the country, so he is actually very entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he is extremely eager for Lu Qi to continue to move forward on the road of demonic scientific research, and on the other hand, he is deeply afraid that Lu Qi will attack his position, it can be said that there is an incomparable contradiction in his heart whether to suppress or something.
"Yi'er?" Lu Zhe had already called twice before, and this time it was the third time. He didn't quite understand what his son was thinking, so he waited for Lu Yi to look at him in a daze, and repeated what he had just said: "You go back to the imperial capital with the ruling party first." ”
"Huh?" Lu Yi was really stunned, he said, "Father, I don't have to go back so soon, right?" He didn't want to go back at this time.
Obviously, Xiao He and Zhang Liang's temptation this time only made a start, the emperor didn't react before, and when he reacted, the design of the civilian official group for the military went bankrupt again, as one of the participants, Lu Yi is now very likely to be pushed out by the civilian official group as a shield, although he can earn enough prestige on the civilian official group, but Lu Yi doesn't want to be looked at by the military in a strange light.
Lu Zhe took a deep look at Lu Yi, he knew his son's thoughts, but if there is a head, there should be a tail, and as the first heir, he must not escape in case of trouble.
Lu Yi felt deep pressure at this moment, especially Luo Yan looked at himself intently. When he was looked at by his father again, his heart trembled, and he said respectfully: "The child will not let his father down." ”
For his son who suddenly played the emotional card, Lu Zhe responded with a smile.
Luo Shao was really looking at Lu Yi intently, he was thinking in his heart at the moment: "It's okay, Your Highness will return to the imperial capital, and see what he will do again, if he is still biased towards the civilian group, it is impossible to say that he should communicate with a few generals." ”
What's the matter with communication? It's not enough to plot something shady, and he doesn't dare to interfere with the emperor's choice of the prince, but he will inevitably do something so that Lu Yi can't ignore the military's presence, after all, the military strength of the empire is really not ordinary, and it is not allowed to be ignored.
