Transmigration to Become an Emperor is Ineffective

Chapter 43

Daqin Palace.

In Xuanzheng Hall, the morning court was proceeding as usual.

Civil and military officials marched respectfully on both sides.

Bai Qingge sat on the dragon chair.

Next to her, behind a curtain of beads, there was faintly a graceful woman with a crown of phoenix and xiapei.

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

Bai Qingge's face was calm, but her heart was agitated.

Although the queen mother helped the government, she did not appear in court every day.

Unless there's something important!

Bai Qingge could already foresee that the other party would definitely do something today...

as expected.

Not long after morning began.

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

"Your Majesty, according to the investigation, there are many barbarian races and aliens on the border, who are ready to make a move. They had stockpiled a large number of soldiers and horses at the border. I'm afraid they're hiding malicious intent!"

"We must be ready to face it first."

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

"Then, what do you think to do?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said casually:

"Of course to send troops and increase the border force!"

"However, the forces that can be mobilized by the Ministry and the military are limited, which requires the cooperation of the followers at the border."

"My minister boldly suggested that His Majesty revise the military system!"

"Take back some of the military power of the subordinate kings, so that the court can send it easily!"

Other ministers also echoed:

"The ministers also thought that what the Ministerial Officer said made sense."

"Building an army for thousands of days and using it for an hour, the vassal king received a lot of salary on weekdays to train soldiers and horses."

"Now is the time to serve the court."

"In fact, all the warriors and horses in the world belong to His Majesty, and now this is just a different way to control them better!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingge had a faint smile on her face.

Although the queen mother did not speak, there was no doubt that everyone who spoke was her confidant!

Bai Qingge would not believe it if she said it was not her incitement.

Using yourself as a shooter to seize the military power of those subordinate kings?

Wouldn't it offend those vassal kings, and even encourage them to rush over!

If not handled properly, it would most likely incur the anger of the princes.

Moreover, the mountains were high and the emperors were far away, so would those vassal kings obediently obey orders?

Currently, Bai Qingge had no plans to move the princes.

Unless you have complete trust!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to act rashly.

Moreover, in order to deal with that barbarian and alien race, as well as the other two dynasties, it was also necessary to rely on the strength of the various vassal kings and princes.

Clearly not pressuring them recklessly.

In fact, Bai Qingge already had plans to deal with the issue of the subordinate king's pride.

But not now!

Right now, Bai Qingge slowly glanced at the ministers, and said word for word:

"King followers from various places had independent military power. This was the military system established by the first emperor."

"The goal is to allow them to dispatch troops faster when they respond to an emergency!"

"If a portion of their military power is taken back, wouldn't that stand in the way of their decision?"

"Could it be that when the barbarians and the alien race attack, we still have to let the feudal lord come to ask for instructions from me before we can send an army to fight back?"

This rhetorical question is on target!

For a moment, the ministers who proposed fell silent.

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

After a moment of silence between ministry officials and the military on the ground, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly stood up again:

"Your Majesty, the matter of dividing the military power of the subordinate king can be discussed later."

"But regarding the military might of the forbidden forces, we should restructure it as soon as possible!"

"The imperial guards came frequently, and even though they were supposed to protect the security of the imperial city, they had repeatedly harassed the people, which had exerted a bad influence!"

"And the military force led by the Forbidden Army is really too big. My minister suggested that the military force 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, inevitably changed his face.

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

The fact that his son had been framed before had made him wary.

Some people were unable to understand him monopolizing the power of the Forbidden Army.

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

At this moment, Bai Qingge was secretly sneering in her heart.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said it well.

Frankly speaking, it was not for the purpose of letting the military might of the Imperial Army fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager!

Right now, Bai Qingge said solemnly:

"Commander Wan has led the Forbidden Army for many years, and there is no problem."

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

"Some time ago, there were River and Lake people fanning the flames in the dynasty, and thanks to Commander Wan handling it in time!"

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

"Didn't this thrill a lot of soldiers?"

The Minister of Punishment quickly explained:

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

"However, Weichen only discusses facts."

"Commander Wan's military strength is too great and uncontrollable, it's not a good thing..."

A majestic and domineering aura suddenly emerged from Bai Qingge:

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

“Every time Commander Wan sends troops, that's also my command!”

"Commander Wan, do you think so?"

Bai Qingge's eyes were fixed on Wan Lianshan.

The latter immediately knelt down and cupped his fist, revealing 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 could not sit still!

He also never imagined that Bai Qingge would repeatedly block him!

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

"Reformation is important, don't beat around the bush."

The cold voice of the queen mother came out, carrying an indisputable coercion.

"What the Queen Mother said doesn't make sense."

Bai Qingge glanced behind the bead curtain.

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

But he saw her calmly opening her mouth and said:

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

"If the Empress Dowager has a good plan, she can ask some ministers to come up with a plan."

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

Hearing this, the ministers were secretly shocked.

Seeing Xinhuang like this, he was still unwilling to give up at all!

These words undoubtedly indicate that you can propose, but the final decision is still in my hands, emperor!
