Dressed As A Waste Prince, The Queen Mother Made Him A Puppet Emperor

Daqian Palace.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, the morning court proceeded as usual.

Civil and military officials lined up respectfully on both sides.

Lu Qingge sat on the dragon chair.

Next to it, behind a beaded curtain, one can vaguely see a graceful woman with a phoenix crown and a xiapei.

This morning, the Empress Dowager actually came to listen to the government behind the curtain!

Lu Qingge's face was calm, but his heart was agitated.

Although the queen mother assists the government, she does not appear in the court every day.

Unless there is something important!

Lu Qingge can already foresee that the other party will definitely do something today...

as expected.

It wasn't long after morning began.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up and took the initiative to say:

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation, there are many barbarians and alien races in the borderlands, who are ready to move. They have hoarded a large number of soldiers and horses on the border. I am afraid they are hiding evil intentions!"

"We have to be prepared in advance to deal with it."

Lu Qingge pretended not to know what the other person was thinking, and asked:

"Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said in a leisurely manner:

"Of course it is to dispatch troops and increase the strength of the border!"

"However, the troops that can be mobilized by the DPRK and China are limited, which requires the cooperation of the vassals on the border."

"My minister boldly suggests that Your Majesty revise the military system!"

"Take back part of the military power of those vassal kings, so that the court can dispatch it handily!"

Other ministers also echoed:

"The ministers also think that what the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said is reasonable."

"Raising soldiers for thousands of days and using them for one hour, those vassal kings receive a lot of salary on weekdays to train soldiers and horses."

"Now is the time to serve the court."

"In fact, all the soldiers and horses in the world belong to His Majesty, and now it's just a different way to control them better!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingge had a faint smile on his face.

Although the queen mother did not speak, there is no doubt that all the people who spoke were her confidants!

Lu Qingge wouldn't believe it if she said it wasn't her instigation.

Use yourself as a gunman to deprive those vassal kings of their military power?

Wouldn't it offend those vassal kings, and even push them into a hurry!

If one is not handled well, it is likely to arouse the anger of those princes.

What's more, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so will those vassal kings obediently obey orders?

At present, Lu Qingge has no plans to move those princes.

Unless you have full confidence!

Otherwise, it is impossible to act rashly.

What's more, to deal with those barbarians and alien races, as well as the other two dynasties, it is also necessary to rely on the power of the various vassal kings and princes.

Definitely not suppressing them so recklessly.

In fact, Lu Qingge already had a plan in mind to deal with the problem of the vassal kings' self-respect.

But not now!

At the moment, Lu Qingge slowly glanced at the ministers, and said word by word:

"The vassal kings of various places have independent military power. This is the military system established by the first emperor."

"The purpose is to allow them to dispatch troops more quickly when they respond to emergencies!"

"If part of their military power is taken back, wouldn't it hinder their decision instead?"

"Could it be that when barbarians and alien races invade, we still have to let those feudal lords come to ask me for instructions before we can send troops to resist?"

This rhetorical question hit the nail on the head!

For a moment, the ministers who proposed were speechless.

Everyone knows the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast.

If the vassal king who was thousands of miles away had to send someone back to the court to ask for instructions in an emergency, he would have to wait until the day lily was almost cold.

After a moment of silence among the Chinese and military officials in the field, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly stood up again:

"Your Majesty, the matter of dividing the military power of the vassal kings can be discussed later."

"But regarding the military power of the forbidden army, we have to restructure it as soon as possible!"

"The imperial guards come in frequently, and although they are supposed to protect the safety of the imperial city, they have repeatedly disturbed the people, which has already caused a bad influence!"

"And the military power commanded by the Forbidden Army is really too great. My minister suggested that the military power of the Forbidden Army should be separated and controlled by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

"In this way, we can better supervise the commander of the imperial army."

Hearing this, Wan Lianshan, the commander of the forbidden army, couldn't help but change his face.

It seems that someone big is going to take him under the knife!

The fact that his son was framed before had already alerted him.

Some people can't understand him monopolizing the power of the Forbidden Army.

Unexpectedly, in the court today, even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment proposed to weaken his military power!

At this moment, Lu Qingge secretly sneered in his heart.

Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment said it nicely.

To put it bluntly, it was not for the purpose of letting the military power of the Imperial Army fall into the hands of the Queen Mother!

At the moment, Lu Qingge said solemnly:

"Commander Wan has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for many years, and there has been no problem."

"It can be said that he has made great contributions to protecting the imperial city."

"Some time ago, there were Rivers and Lakes people who fanned the flames in the dynasty, and it was thanks to Commander Wan who dealt with it in a timely manner!"

"I haven't had time to reward Commander Wan, but you said you want to cut his military power?"

"Isn't this chilling the hearts of many soldiers?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments quickly explained:

"Your Majesty is indeed very clear about rewards and punishments."

"However, Weichen is just discussing the facts."

"Commander Wan's military power is too great and unrestrained, which is not a good thing..."

A majestic and domineering aura suddenly rose from Lu Qingge:

"Without my order, who would dare to randomly mobilize the forbidden army?"

"Every time Commander Wan sends troops, it is also my order!"

"Commander Wan, do you think so?"

Lu Qingge's eyes fell on Wan Lianshan.

The latter immediately knelt down and cupped fist, expressing his loyalty:

"The last general will naturally look forward to His Majesty's leadership and do his best!"

Seeing this, the queen mother behind the bead curtain finally couldn't sit still!

She also never imagined that Lu Qingge would repeatedly block her!

"Your Majesty, the current system of soldiers and horses has long been inconsistent with the situation of our Dagan dynasty!"

"Reform is imperative, don't be pedantic."

The queen mother's coldly voice came out, carrying an undeniable coercion.

"What the queen mother said is not unreasonable."

Lu Qingge glanced behind the bead curtain.

Just when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the new emperor would still submit to the queen mother.

But he saw him calmly opening the mouth and saying:

"However, reforming the military and horse system will not happen overnight."

"If the Empress Dowager has any good plan, she can ask several ministers to draw up a plan."

"After I have reviewed it, if the plan is really good, I can adopt it."

Hearing this, the ministers were secretly shocked.

Seeing Xinhuang like this, he is still not willing to give in at all!

These words undoubtedly show that you can propose, but the final decision is still in the hands of me, the emperor!
