The system that was finally established, of course Li Er would not break it by himself, even if the object was his confidant Hou Junji, it was absolutely impossible, Hou Junji was very important, but the government was more important, he did not allow anything to happen that exceeded his own control, and Hou Junji wanted to be the prime minister.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are both very capable courtiers, they have no mistakes at all, why did they remove them from the position of prime minister and let Hou Junji serve as prime minister? Is Hou Junji very good at serving as prime minister? Has he ever read a book? Does he know a lot? When you were young, you didn't learn anything, and your education level was so low, what kind of face did you have to serve as the prime minister?

This is Li Erma's heartfelt words, of course, he can't say it, this is tantamount to insulting the courtiers, even if it is the emperor, he can't insult the courtiers, otherwise even if it is Hou Junji, it will cause the ministers to be dissatisfied, so Li Ermaxi just complained secretly, and didn't say a lot of words, but the subsequent situation made Li Ermaxi a little annoyed, and three generals entered the palace to ask to see Li Erma, asking Li Ermaxi to send Hou Junji to fight abroad and capture prisoners of war to make up for the lack of Chang'an.

It's not enough for one person to ask for his life, but he also has to let his subordinates ask for his life? Is this a threat to me?

Li Erma felt that his sanity was about to be wiped out, as a military general, it was already a big rebellion to try to be the prime minister, and he didn't care about you in the past, but you actually dared to form a party for personal gain? Or in the army?!

The matter of forming a party has always been a taboo for the emperor, and the disaster of the party in the Han Dynasty was that the emperor felt that the power of Wenchen's party formation was too great and had threatened his rule. That's why eunuchs are reused against the party, and it's not the reason why the emperor is unconscious, it's precisely because the emperor is still awake that this kind of thing happens.

The power of the eunuchs comes from the emperor and can only rely on the emperor, so once the power of the minister is too strong and the strength of the emperor is relatively weak, there will be a situation where the emperor uses the eunuch to fight against the minister, and the era when the eunuchs are most chaotic is the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, as well as the late Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the family was too large, and the emperor needed to use eunuchs to fight against the family. In the Tang Dynasty, the warlords were powerful, so eunuchs were used. In the Song Dynasty, the literati group used eunuchs because the party struggle was too fierce, and the Ming Dynasty also used eunuchs because the literati group was too strong. Either the military interferes in politics or the civilian man is in charge of the army. Threatens the position of the emperor. will indirectly cause the disaster of eunuchs, and if the military and government are separated, there will be no such disaster.

In the early Tang Dynasty, under the joint control of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. There was no party in the court, the army was at ease to expand the border campaign, the civil officials were at ease to govern the country, and the eunuchs were at ease to be eunuchs, so that there was nothing to do, from the beginning of Tang Xuanzong's accession to the throne, the system began to flourish, and Tang Xuanzong ignored the government in the late period, Gao Lishi became the person who opened the disaster of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, and after the Anshi Rebellion, the warlords were powerful, and the power of the emperor declined greatly, which was the origin of the disaster of the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty.

But not yet, not only is there no eunuch disaster, there are no soldiers interfering in politics, there are no literati in charge of the army, everyone is safe, you Hou Junji is going to come out and intervene in government affairs, you are already a chief of staff, the supreme commander of the army below Li Erma, one person under ten thousand people, what else do you want? I don't know that contentment is the taboo of officialdom, and I envy Li Jing for going out and going to the prime minister, do you know how much Li Jing paid for this?

Most of the people who are in and out of the phase do not end well, either die, such as Lu Xun, or usurp power, such as Cao Cao, and the reason for the third situation is because the emperor is too strong, and the courtiers know how to advance and retreat, so there is a good result, you Hou Junji can't see what price Li Jing paid to save his life? Li Er's majesty was really disappointed, quite disappointed, and finally pulled Li Jing from the high position of the army, drove away the people who didn't believe, and let the believing Hou Junji ascend to the high position to master the army, who knew that Hou Junji disappointed him too much.

So when Li Ermajesty saw Suning coming, he was cold: "You are also here to intercede with Hou Junji?" ”

Suning was stunned for a moment, and thought that Li Ermajesty knew that Hou Junji had gone to his house last night to complain about his intentions for several hours, and only left this morning, so he said: "It's not like that, it's just that Chief Hou got drunk in the minister's mansion last night, and said a lot of things, and only left this morning, so the minister feels that there are some things to talk to His Majesty." ”

Li Erma slapped the table: "Hou Junji deceived me too much!" Do you really think I don't dare touch him?! Running to your house?! Are you a lobbyist for him? If yes, then needless to say! ”

Suning thought to himself, why is Li Erma's anger so big? Even if you didn't know about that, you shouldn't be so angry, so she asked, "Why is Your Majesty so angry?" It's not good to be angry. ”

Li Er said angrily: "Counting you, it's already the fourth person to be a lobbyist for him, Suning, you disappointed me so much, you actually came to be his lobbyist?" What benefits did he give you? Does he have a share of you when he becomes prime minister?! ”

Suning hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister is not here to be a lobbyist, although Chief Hou thinks that His Majesty will listen to the minister's construction, but the minister is not here to be a lobbyist." ”

The anger on Li Er's face gradually dissipated, and then he snorted coldly: "Tell me, what are you doing here?" What did Hou Junji tell you last night, tell me all of them! ”

Suning nodded and said: "Chief Hou did come to ask the minister to help him say it last night, let him lead the army to fight and destroy a country, and when he comes back, he can sit on the prime minister with this merit, and then promise to give the minister a lot of benefits, this, Your Majesty should already know, right?" ”

Li Er nodded with a blushing face: "It's too unusual!" Don't know what I mean? How dare you do such a thing at this time! Dare to form a party in the army! ”

Forming a party in the army? Boss Hou, you are so bold.

After a sentence of slander, Suning continued: "The minister is just pretending to accept it, but there are some things that the minister has to say to His Majesty, and the minister thinks that Chief Hou is a human being and is not suitable for holding a high position." ”

Li Erma stared at Suning and said coldly, "Go on." ”

Suning nodded and said, "The minister once said that Datang should develop. It is necessary for many outstanding young people to continue to enter the court, the elderly are better than calm, but they have lost their sharpness, and the young people are full of sharpness, but they are not calm enough, only the two sides complement each other, in order to maximize the advantages.

And Datang should not learn from Ji Han and Zhuge Liang, a person should even ask about more than 20 things in the army, and monopolize power. You have to deal with everything yourself. In this way, not only will he be tired, but he will also lead to no suitable successor, and after Ji Han's death from Zhuge Liang, the ministers used are not the young people cultivated by Ji Han after the founding of the country. Therefore, after the death of Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and Dong Ju one after another. Ji Han has no talent who can take the lead.

So for those in high positions. Talent does not need to be earth-shattering, but the heart must be broad-minded and gentle. You can accept a subordinate who is more capable than yourself, and train him to take over his position, although there are few such people, but there are not many high positions in the court, there are such people with such a high position, it is the most suitable match, an older elder with a group of energetic young people, use them, but at the same time continue to teach and restrain them, so that young people can get the best growth.

But Chief Hou is obviously not such a person, his mind is not broad enough, flaws must be reported, such a person can be a general of an army, but it can never be the minister of a country, Fang Xianggong and Du Xianggong are not narrow-minded people, the Tang Dynasty can have such a development, if General Hou is the prime minister, it is estimated that there will be party disputes in the imperial court soon. ”

After listening to this, Li Erma looked at Suning for a while, his face gradually slowed down, and he sat up straight, and then asked: "What you said is also what I think in my heart, Hou Junji has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, so I love him so much, but he is too ignorant of advance and retreat, I have already announced the separation of military and government, but he still wants to serve as the prime minister as a soldier, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen, so I plan to transfer Hou Junji from the position of chief of staff, what good idea do you have?" ”

Suning's heart froze, and his face did not change: "This, the minister really doesn't know, the minister said these words just out of a fair heart, and he didn't want Datang to fall into chaos, so he said this, as for the method, the minister really has no good way, and I also hope that His Majesty will have a gentler way to deal with this matter, so as not to hurt the heart of the hero." ”

Li Er's majesty relaxed slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Since this is the case, I won't embarrass you, then, do you think that apart from Hou Junji, who else can be the chief of staff of the Tang Dynasty?" Say it and give me a reference, you see that people have always been very accurate, Xue Li, Wang Xuance, are all handsome for a while. ”

Su Ning thought about it carefully and said: "If you want to rely on military strategic talent, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are not a few who can be qualified for the post of chief of staff, but if you look at it from the perspective of mind and way of doing things, the most suitable person is General Li Shiji, General Li Shiji is modest, fair, and convincing people with virtue, and will not oppress people with power, let alone love power, and has great military achievements, with him, he can unite the generals well." ”

Li Erqi nodded slightly, and said: "You have thought of a piece with me, the most suitable person, except for Hou Junji, there is only Mao Gong left." ”

Suning said with a smile: "Actually, the most suitable person is still Shizun, but Shizun no longer asks about political affairs, and the minister doesn't want Shizun to be involved in these things anymore, Shizun is old and should be old." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, if you talk about famous generals, Li Jing is a well-deserved first, and Li Erma has no objections, but Suning, this kid is really smart, and he is telling himself in one sentence that Li Jing no longer asks about political affairs, don't lead things to him, hehe, it's really a matter of gratitude, defend Li Jing like this, well, I hope you can treat Cheng Qian like this in the future! I can't use this kid's words now, I can't use Hou Junji, and I can't use Li Jing, so who should I use?

Li Erma really had the idea of using Li Jing again, but since Suning noticed it, he couldn't do this, otherwise Suning would definitely make a fuss, and the discord between the monarch and the minister was not what he wanted to see, let alone Suning.

"By the way, the reason why Hou Junji wants to ask for war, there are also some reasons that have to be paid attention to, you also know that the popularization of Mongolian learning has made Shandong, Beidi and Jiangnan very dissatisfied, in order to calm the people's grievances, I can only use the 100,000 prisoners of war reserved by the imperial court in advance to those places, and popularize the labor reform first, but this makes the imperial court very short of prisoners of war, so we must also consider starting a war with foreign countries." Li Er Majesty said.

Suning was puzzled: "Isn't the 200,000 wingmen in Shuzhong enough?" ”

Li Ermajesty said: "200,000 bureaucrats are used to compensate Shuzhong, and labor reform has been popularized in Shuzhong, but it is impossible to get out of Shu, otherwise, why should the imperial court be so worried?" But that's good, there are not a few people in the army who ask for war, there has been no war for a long time, it's a good thing for the people, but it's not a good thing for the army, now there are prisoners of war to transport grain and grass, and the grain and grass are enough, but there is no need to levy and send people to disturb the people, so there are a lot of people in the army who ask for war, and they all hope to expand the territory, which makes me very embarrassed! ”

Suning suddenly thought of something: "Your Majesty, can you think about it, Tuyuhun?" (To be continued......)
