In this battle of the void floating land, the empire has tried every means to seize the upper hand, but it is still difficult to hold on to this advantage.
And the imperial capital hundreds of thousands of miles away was not peaceful. When the national war broke out, there was a storm of rectifying military affairs and Qingming government affairs at the same time. All the bad deeds and bad habits of lords and lords everywhere were wiped out.
The aristocratic family restrained the children while watching with cold eyes. Today, His Majesty's mother's family is not visible, and his wife's family has changed frequently. It is only after 20 years of succession that such a big move is nothing more than gathering power. It's just that it was a little far-fetched to cut down the feudal clan in the name of Zhongxing before, and now it is enough to take advantage of the battle of the national destiny to take advantage of the righteousness.
Today is the Grand Court Meeting again, and the solemn and solemn Lingyun Main Hall civil servants, generals, and nobles stand in line. The honorable ranks are all the princes of the Zong Kingdom and the heads of the family. Everyone has a strict demeanor, calm and dignified.
The political officials led by the cabinet and the military generals headed by the military department have added a lot of new faces. Although they are all at the bottom of the list, they are all young and strong in their forties. They also have one thing in common, their backgrounds are not high, most of them come from the aristocratic families, and even some of the noble families.
Although Zhang Boqian is the marshal of the empire, he is not among the generals. He was dressed in black and gold royal clothes, standing at the forefront of the honorable queue. Zhang Boqian was ennobled as a Heavenly King, and he was still above the Zongwang in the imperial system. The other four Heavenly Kings had long ceased to hold military and political positions, and of course they would not come to attend the court meeting. He was of course the most honorable one.
Another one like him, who is the marshal of the empire but not among the generals, is Lin Xitang. The first vacant position in the civil service queue belongs to him, but Lin Xitang has not shown up at court meetings several times in a row due to repeated injuries. But just looking at these newcomers in the main hall of Lingyun, it can be seen that the emperor's confidant was absent from the court meeting, but he was never absent from state affairs.
As time went by, and the affairs of the court passed one by one, the atmosphere in the Lingyun main hall became more and more stagnant, and some people who were sensitive to state affairs began to feel that something was wrong.
Today's court discussions seem to involve many fields such as civil affairs, armaments, and local guards, but in fact, the results of the handling follow one principle, the restoration of Taizu's laws.
There is nothing wrong with this principle in itself. When the Great Qin was founded, the imperial family and the aristocratic family jointly ruled the world, agreed with each other on laws, each had its own jurisdiction, and each settled its own position. Only then did the empire prosper and prosper today. It's just that time washes away people's hearts, and for the benefit of themselves and even blood relatives, they will always wear down their integrity little by little. No matter how good the rules are, if you can't stick to them, the corruption of the world is worse than having no rules.
Take the three generations of the hero Zhize as an example, but in fact there is another sentence behind it, no matter how high or low the people are. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, meritorious ministers who opened up territories could shelter their children and grandchildren for three generations, but no matter whether the sons of nobles or ordinary people made great achievements, the rewards should be the same. Everyone in the Lingyun main hall has a different account in their minds about how much this article has been actually implemented.
However, these are not the focus of today's meeting.
"The Heavenly King does not lead troops. According to this example, the Imperial Military District should be re-demarcated." The young inspector enunciated the last sentence clearly, and closed the thick report in his hand as if nothing had happened.
There was a complete silence in the main hall of Lingyun for a moment.
All the court discussions in the Great Court today sounded like they were reiterating the Taizu’s laws, but the last sentence was only an attempt to make a point, pointing to only one person, King Qingyang, Marshal Zhang Boqian.
The rule that the Heavenly King did not lead the army began in the founding of the country. Taizu's younger brother Baihe Wang immediately handed over the military power after he became the Heavenly King. Since then, it has become a practice. Whenever there is a big battle in the empire, the Heavenly King sits in charge of the overall situation, but does not care about military affairs.
It's just that except for the period of Kaiguo and Emperor Wu's revival, the strong human race generally have to go through a period of Jiazi, that is, they can't hit the rank of heavenly king until they are sixty years old. Will not take up the post of court. This rule has also been almost forgotten.
In fact, compared to the fact that the Heavenly King does not lead the army, what is more eye-catching is the re-division of the Imperial Military Region, which is the real redistribution of power.
The current Imperial Military District corresponds to the ten current Imperial Marshals. Marshal is the most powerful military position in the Great Qin Dynasty. He has the right to recruit, train and command regular legions in the military region. During wartime, he can dispatch and allocate various resources in the name of military supplies. The control of the family fief was lost. Because of this, the powerful masters have never been able to serve as marshals at the same time.
And the Inspector, who dropped such a heavy original force shell, seemed to have no idea what kind of uproar his words would cause. He turned his head without fear, just in time to catch Zhang Boqian's cold gaze.
Most of the eyes in the main hall of Lingyun focused on the two of them.
Fang Qingkong, the right envoy of the Cabinet Supervisory Department, was just in his early forties, and he was considered young and promising among the rich and powerful, but his reputation had nothing to do with his bright future. This person looks gentle and elegant, but his methods of handling affairs are fierce and cruel. Even the gendarmerie of the military department pays attention to him. From the day he stepped into the Supervision Department, he has said without hesitation that he will be a mad dog at Lin Shuai's feet.
It was such a person who had lived a decent life for seven years, and had risen from the lowest rank of Xiaoling to the third-ranked right envoy in the company. There may be more people who want his life than those who want to kill Lin Xitang.
Zhang Boqian only took one look at Fang Qingkong, then turned his eyes away as if he didn't notice, "If you want to accept my seal, that's fine, ask Lin Xitang to get it by himself."
The whole Lingyun Palace was so quiet that the embroidery needles could be heard falling, and even the breathing of these many people seemed to be indistinct.
Everyone knew Zhang Boqian's character well, and the answer must be unexpected, but they still didn't expect him to accept such a big event so easily. Zhang Boqian never came to the set of hypocrisy and obedience, he said it could be done. For a moment, no matter who stayed out of the matter, wanted to fish in troubled waters, or planned to support one of them, they didn't know what expression to make.
Fang Qingkong reacted the fastest, and said with a smile on his face: "If everything is insignificant and needs to be handled by Lin Shuai, then what do we need to do?"
Zhang Boqian said indifferently: "If you want to seek death, you are not qualified enough."
At this time, behind the heavy curtains and in the lingering mist, the voice of the supreme emperor of the empire came, turning and filling every corner of the Lingyun main hall, "The cabinet will propose a document for today's court proposal, and the unresolved matters will be handed over to the cabinet, the military department, and the Zongfu. The three parties agreed to retreat."
The officials saluted like a ritual, and then left one after another in the sound of the bell and chime of the Sanchao. Only at this time did some people accompany each other and whisper to each other by the way.
The Imperial Shuangbi had different political views since the day they stepped into the imperial court. After Zhang Boqian became king, the conflict between the two not only failed to ease, but became more and more irreconcilable, until it was fully intensified during the bloody battle of the Iron Curtain.
Many important ministers are very clear that Zhang Boqian did not have any appointment when he first appeared in the Evernight Continent, but to suppress the imperial party with obvious intentions to cut down the vassal. Because of this, Lin Xitang was dragged in Yong Ye, and for a time he couldn't control the situation in the imperial capital. The imperial party split, and one of them even turned against Lin Xitang. What did it develop into.
Most people guessed that Lin Xitang would fight back if he freed his hand, but no one expected that he would act so relentlessly and directly proposed to dismiss Zhang Boqian from his position as marshal.
However, if you think about it a little deeper, the external resistance to this matter will not be too great. The Zhang Clan continued to dominate the Bloody Battle and the Battle of the Behemoth's Rest, so even if the aristocratic family who stood beside Zhang Boqian and resisted the reduction of the feudal clan did not want to see the Zhang Clan continue to sit on the throne, at most they remained neutral.
As for the redesignation of the military area proposed by Fang Qingkong, it will be implemented sooner or later. It will be a protracted war to compete with the Eternal Night camp for control of the void floating land, and the empire's local defense system must be adjusted accordingly. But putting this matter together with the request for Zhang Boqian to resign, made many people start to admire him.
No matter how worthy of criticism Fang Qingkong is, his response in front of Zhang Boqian today is enough to make those top dignitaries look at him highly.
Wei Guogong first said to You Guogong with emotion: "Is the Dayan Tianji Jue so magical? Lin Xitang has always been accurate in judging people. It is rare for such a talent to be so loyal to him." He suddenly remembered What, with a sigh, "Oh, what a pity! That boy from the Song family and Zhang Clan are getting closer and closer."
You Guogong knew that Wei Guogong had taken a fancy to Song Zining before he became famous, and when the military exploits in Heiliu City went to the Zhao Clan, Wei Guogong came to ask if the Zhao Clan wanted to recruit him.
But Song Zining's rise was too fast, and the break with the Song Clan caught people off guard. It was also rumored that Zhao Jundu disliked him. After everyone recovered from these dazzling news, Song Zining already had a place in Zhang Boqian's headquarters. Now if you want to subdue him, it is no longer possible to simply lure or intimidate him.
Speaking of Song Zining, Lord You Country Zhao Xuanji immediately thought of Qianye and the secret report he had just received in the early hours of the morning, and suddenly a burst of gloom welled up in his heart. What is a genius? What Zhao Clan lacks most is genius! But looking at Zhao Weihuang's sons and daughters, none of them are worry-free.
At this time, a secret report with the same content was placed on the case table of the Zhao Clan's camp in the distance, and Zhao Junyi, the eldest son of the Zhao Clan's fourth son, was sitting at the top. Among the few brothers, he is the coolest like Zhao Weihuang, and he has been in the army since he was an adult, and his gestures are full of tough military demeanor.
He glanced at the two younger brothers below, his eyes stopped on Zhao Jundu, and asked, "What's going on? Why did Zhao Qianye appear on the list of guests respecting Tang Li's family?"
It was Zhao Junhong who answered. He flipped through the secret report on the case table, and said plainly: "Qianye is an excellent ultra-long-range sniper, with the specialty of sight distance, and the terrain of the foggy forest is very suitable for him. Besides, look at him Ranking so high among guest qings, the Li family should have paid more than usual."
Zhao Junyi frowned deeply. The reason given by the second child is suitable for any strong free man, but it would be ridiculous to apply it to Qianye. He and this half-brother had never met before, and they couldn't talk about any likes and dislikes, but Zhao Jundu was different, because of Qianye, he caused several disturbances in the gang.
