Chapter 343 Against him?

Speaking of which, Li Guangshan's role as the chief minister of the cabinet has both pros and cons.

The advantage is that the court can be quickly stabilized and the government will be on track as soon as possible.

Li Guangshan is the God of the Donggan Army. More than 20 years ago, he had reached the point where he was so powerful that he was shocked by the Lord. Although he had been in seclusion for twenty years, his fame and reputation had been lost a lot as time goes by.

But this time, Li Guangshan made great contributions to the killing of the treacherous party, and his fame and status have returned to his past. He subdued the Baijiang army and the Chuanhe army. Although in other aspects, Zhou An's contributions far exceed Li Guangshan, Li Guangshan's contributions were all real "military achievements"!

He himself has an unshakable foundation in the army.

After 20 years of retirement, you can directly compete with Wu Xukuan. You can imagine how strong your foundation is.

If such a person becomes the leader of civil servants again, both civil and military officials will obey him. Indeed, the empress can quickly solve various problems through him, return to stability, and even use him to arrest corrupt officials and eliminate the court and the country. Although she will inevitably suffer a counterattack, Li Guangshan can definitely withstand it.

But!

The disadvantages are what Zhou An said before. The disadvantages of letting Li Guangshan be the chief minister of the cabinet may even exceed the benefits he brings, especially it will have an extremely bad impact on the future.

In such a turbulent and stormy period, it would be terrible if the empress could not be checked and balanced by civil and military officials or civil servants in the court!

It is hard to say what Li Guangshan’s talent in “civilized governance” is.

If Li Guangshan had Wu Xukuan's talent for civil governance and was so loyal, the empress could "govern by doing nothing", and it would be over for Li Guangshan to do it! But this matter cannot be gambled at all, and Li Guangshan could not be gambled so well. As for the current situation in Donggan, it would be impossible to bet, and if he lost the bet, it would be over!

Click!

The empress's hand was hanging for a long time and she kept listening to Zhou An.

She finally put down her chopsticks.

"Xiao Anzi, then what kind of reward do you think should be given to Shangshu Li?" the empress asked again.

She was shaken.

Almost convinced by Zhou An! It was really terrible to think about it. What the empress wanted to do, but Li Guangshan felt that she was doing something wrong, so he opposed her. All the civil and military officials in the court followed her, and that would definitely not be able to do it!

This situation is not an exaggeration.

This has been happening in all dynasties.

It can even be said that except for the founding emperor, other emperors of all dynasties will be more or less controlled by the court, and they will not do whatever they want. Of course... the tyrant and tyrant are also said.

"Master, the servant thinks that the old general does not want to take up the position of civil servants." Zhou An said in a very plain tone.

But it was a shocking stone!

The empress was shocked!

Not good for being a civil servant? That is to kick the old coach out of the court?

Zhou An seemed to have directly denied Li Guangshan's ability to govern!

Is that still a reward?

"Xiao Anzi, you mean..."

"Slave means that the old general was appointed as the Minister of War, which was just a temporary solution at that time. Wu Xukuan was too powerful at that time and had to use the old general like this. Now, Wu Xukuan is dead and the rebellion has been destroyed. The old general no longer needs to serve as the Minister of War and can be dismissed!"

Zhou An said this, it’s too ruthless!

"Xiao Anzi, what happened to you..." The empress already felt something was wrong with Zhou An. With such a reckless thought, she dared to kill Li Guangshan? What about Zhou An's clever little head? Why did she suddenly become stupid?

"Master!" Zhou An suddenly stood up, walked around the table, quickly walked to the empress, and bowed to him and said respectfully: "At this time when the world is turbulent and unstable, rebellion in all directions may happen at any time, and chaos in the world may not be impossible. Male Master should prepare as soon as possible!"

"The old general is known as the God of the Donggan Army. He once turned the tide and saved Donggan from water and fire. His military talent was the best in the world. Therefore, the slave thought that if the old general was given the position of civil servants, it would be a decisive move and he should take advantage of his strengths... The position of the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army has been abolished for ten years. The emperor can set up this position again, and the old general will take over it. He ordered him to train 400,000 Zhongzhou Army immediately to prepare for the possible chaos in the world..."

"In this way, the purpose of rewarding the old general can not only achieve the purpose of rewarding the old general, but also preventing someone from being authoritarian and disrupting the government. The old general serves as the leader of the world's military officers, which is enough to be convinced. No one should object to it..."

What Zhou An said makes a lot of sense!

This method can solve almost all "problems", whether it is Zhou An's problem, the problems of those old ministers, or the problems of the empress.

The empress's eyes shine.

This is possible!

"Master, the slave still has ideas, and I don't know whether to say it or not." Zhou An wanted to make a statement again.

"Say!" The empress glanced at Zhou An, a little angry. Zhou An was so "polite" and still said it or not. Is there anything he dare not say? When did he not let him say it?

"Sage, history has long proved that the transfer of military generals to civil servants has great disadvantages. The reason why Wu Xukuan was able to rebel was because he was a military general and served as the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army. If he had no military power, if he had no such influence in the army, he would not have the ability to rebel, and would not have a chance! And all the rebels in history, whether successful or failed, had more or less held military positions or had close ties with the military generals..."

"What do you want to say?" the empress asked.

Many times, she hates Zhou An's long-term comments and speaks in a mess.

For example, just now, she almost thought that Zhou An wanted to "kill the donkey" to Li Guangshan.

"I dared to make a statement and asked the emperor to issue an order to prohibit the transfer of military positions to civil servants. As long as I am a military general, I will be a military general for the rest of my life. No matter how great the merits are, I cannot serve as a civil servant again. I cannot rule the local government, and I must not join the six ministries and enter the cabinet. In this way, the next Wu Xukuan appearance can be completely cut off..." Zhou An finished speaking in one breath.

Good suggestions!

At least Zhou An felt so.

He really cares about this dynasty.

However, in fact, this method was not what he thought of, but it had already been found in the history of his previous life!

In fact, Zhou An has always been surprised that Donggan allowed military generals to be transferred to civil servants. The feudal civilization in this world has lasted for thousands of years, and it has been time for a while. Haven’t the problem been found yet? Not yet solved?

This may be related to the fact that the world is martial and the personal force is too high. In many cases, personal force can solve major military and national affairs. Because there are too many martial artists, many scholars are also martial artists. Scholars are not smooth in the imperial examinations, so they go to the military to practice and want to enter the court in a curve.

Talents often emerge in the army, and they do have real skills.

These are Zhou An's guesses.
