Fang Xuanling submitted his resignation to Zhang Chao.
"I'm old, but now my eyes are dizzy, and my energy is not as good as before, and my eyes are blurry after watching the music for a long time.
Now there is nothing important in the Hanlin Hospital, and I just went home to retire. ” Zhang Chao looked at Fang Xuanling and found that this old Xiangguo was indeed gray, and his back was a lot stiffer.
A face is also full of wrinkles, especially in the eyes, full of loneliness.
He witnessed the establishment and rise of the Tang Empire, but he also saw that this empire had come to an end.
After standing on this last shift, he wanted to leave.
"Are you blaming me?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head.
It's better to blame Zhang Chao than to blame himself, didn't he also launch the Xuanwumen Revolution at the beginning and force the Emperor Taishang to abdicate, maybe he worked harder at that time, or there would be a different result.
No, no, no, this day will come sooner or later.
It was history that chose today, and it was history that chose Zhang Chao.
They chose yesterday, the Emperor Taishang and the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and chose a different path from the previous dynasty.
It was a road that had not been walked before, and in more than ten years, Datang had become extremely strong.
But at that time, everyone would not have thought that this empire would go on a completely different path from its predecessors, dividing the feuds to create a powerful group of princes, and the new imperial examination and new official system also created a powerful group of scholars, and even opening up industry and commerce and expanding maritime trade also gave Datang a strong capital class.
When they united, they even overrode the imperial power.
The Emperor refused to back down, and the Emperor refused to back down, and they were all pulled down.
Now, the three major groups have pushed Zhang Chao to that position.
"About the Hanlin Academy, in fact, I have thought about it in the past few days, after the cabinet responsibility system, the Hanlin Academy does not have the right to approve red, but it cannot be idle because of this.
I thought so, and transferred the power of the six branches of the House of Nobles to the Hanlin Academy.
Later, the cabinet was in power, the Hanlin Yuan was sealed, the parliament legislated and supervised, and the budget was reviewed. ” Zhang Chao smiled and said to Fang Xuanling, "The Hanlin Academy is not only an advisory body to the emperor, but also has the power to refute and balance the cabinet, and there is a long way to go."
Fang Gong, you are experienced and prestigious, and the new dynasty also needs important ministers like you. ” The cabinet is in charge of decision-making and administrative power, and the Hanlin Yuan has the power to refute it, and this balance is still needed.
The transfer of the power of refusal from the parliament is also the continuous rise of the authority of the parliament.
In the future, the normal procedure was that the cabinet held the decision-making and administrative powers, while the Hanlin Yuan had the power to deliberate and reject administrative affairs, the parliament had the power to approve the budget, and the emperor had the right to veto.
However, if the emperor does not specifically address it, it is considered to be passed by default.
"I really want to go back to my hometown."
Fang Xuanling sighed.
"At the beginning, I told Fang Gong that you will be the prime minister for thirty years.
From the sixth year of Wude to the present, you have only been a prime minister for 16 years, and you still have to serve as the prime minister for me for at least 14 years.
Zhang Chao said with a smile.
If the Hanlin Yuan has the right to refute, it will be equivalent to the past Menxia Province, and the Dean of Hanlin will naturally be equivalent to the prime minister.
Fang Xuanling also thought of the Mandate of Heaven that Zhang Chao had told him before the first Xuanwumen Change, when Zhang Chao told him that the Emperor Taishang had a Mandate of Heaven and should become the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, he said that he would become prime minister, and he would be prime minister for thirty years.
Now calculated, he has been in the center all these years, left and right servants, servants, Zhongshu Ling, then the cabinet minister, and then to the current dean of Hanlin, but the time, it is indeed only the fifteenth year.
"Did you figure out that you could be the emperor back then?"
asked Fang Xuanling.
Zhang Chao smiled.
"Actually, I don't believe in these things like the Mandate of Heaven, but I believe in the people's hearts.
Back then, the Emperor Taishang and Jiancheng competed for the reserve, and the hearts of the people were in the Emperor. ” Fang Xuanling was skeptical, he always felt that Zhang Chao was the one who knew the destiny of heaven.
Especially now that I look back and think about what Zhang Chao has said in the past 20 years, the first step seems to have a profound meaning.
"If the emperor is willing to relinquish some power, you really won't take his place?"
"What's so good about being an emperor, I'm just a regent now, but since this time, I've hardly slept well, and I'm trapped in this capital every day, and it's an endless meeting and an endless piece of music.
It's just that the times are also trending, and I was also pushed to this position by the times, and sometimes, I can't go down when I come up. ” Fang Xuanling nodded, indicating understanding.
"In fact, you are too sharp in life, if you are willing to be low-key and introverted, I am afraid it will not be as good as it is now."
"That's what you said, but many times, I'm a person who can't help it."
He proposed a new policy, promoted the division of feuds, and even promoted the great navigation, the development of industry and commerce, etc., all of which he considered responsible and obligatory.

He thinks that if he has that ability, he should do more things, so that Huaxia's eyes can go out of the small circle of the Central Plains, and let Huaxia also go out.
But after these things are done, it is difficult to keep a low profile.
"Actually, I admire many of your decisions, including sending the emperor and Li Zhi away, and now deciding to let the emperor and the eldest grandson move away.
You are doing the right thing, and there is nothing wrong with being kind. ” "If these internal contradictions can be resolved more modestly, I will resolutely do so.
There is no need for infighting, just as I said I was willing to focus on the development of the fiefdom. ” Zhang Chao took the initiative to tell Fang Xuanling about Qu Tutong.
"The death of the old man is also a little unavoidable.
The old marshal is sometimes too persistent, he issued a military order of King Qin in the land of Xiadi, if he does not stop him, more than 100,000 soldiers will be controlled by him to go south, and then a big war, not to mention how much the Tang Dynasty will lose internal friction, maybe we have finally broken through the Xi, Khitan, and Xia three places, and may have to lose. ” "In my position, the hardest thing is to make a decision.
Between killing one, and killing 10,000 or more, I can only choose to kill one person in the end.
Fang Gong, can you understand me?"
Fang Xuanling sighed in a low voice.
Heaven is ruthless, and the emperor is the most ruthless.
Zhang Chao is now the regent, and he is only one step away from becoming the emperor.
He is now at the helm of the entire empire, and he must make a decision in the face of a possible rebellion.
He sent someone to assassinate Qu Tutong, regained control of the Saibei Army, and avoided a civil war.
He succeeded in convincing the eldest grandson Wuji and others to accept the conditions and change their seals to go overseas, and also avoided the rebellion of these families loyal to the emperor.
When Zhang Chao took Hanjing, no one died, and not a drop of blood was shed.
Now, too, through the Statutes, the Charter, and those agreements, he has brought about a bloodless change of power in the Empire.
"You are also helpless, how does the regent plan to settle Qu Tu and his family?"
"The old marshal was assassinated by the people, this will go down in history, the old marshal for the empire to destroy the country, for the empire to open up the territory, a lifetime of achievements will be forever recorded in history.
The imperial court will posthumously present Qu Tutong as the Taifu and posthumously as the king of Ba.
The son of the old marshal, Qu Tushou, was the king of Bajun, and the second son, Qu Tuquan, was promoted to the marquis of Baicheng. ” Qu Tutong's death can be regarded as a conclusion on this.
Zhang Chao gave Qu Tutong a posthumous title, and gave Qu Tutong's brothers and sons generously.
Even if Qu Tutong raises the banner of King Qin's rebellion, Zhang Chao is not guilty of his past, and the Qu Tu family will not be affected.
The 80,000 southern Ya troops of the imperial court in Saibei Sandao will become the border army stationed in Na, and in cooperation with the next stage of road construction and immigration of the imperial court, the construction of resettlement tuntian and military tun will be carried out there.
The Northern Expedition soldiers and horses of the princes of the Northland returned to their fiefdoms with their respective divisions.
The soldiers and horses of the Hui and Qibi tribes also returned to Mobei to sweep the rest of Xue Yantuo.
As for the Murwei and the Turpents, their chieftains and chieftains have already sent messengers with many tributes to make amends for their sins, and to reclaim the title of Ministers.
Zhang Chao temporarily accepted his vassals, and did not conquest them for the time being until the imperial court completed the transition of power and the digestion of the northern part of the country was completed.
"It's okay to let the four armies of Nanya stay in the Saibei Army Cantonment, in fact, I feel that over the years, our expansion has been a little too fast and too urgent.
Attacking everywhere, using troops on multiple battlefields at the same time, and fighting a war to destroy the country, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were frequently mobilized, and the military has been tense, and the generals are inevitably a little more rebellious.
One gallop is the king. ” Zhang Chao thinks that what Fang Xuanling said is also very reasonable.
In fact, the expansion has indeed entered a bottleneck period now.
The main question is not how strong the enemy is, but how far away the enemy is.
The long distance, the unfamiliar environment, the different climates in the new environment, and even the disease, etc., are all problems, and with them, the domination, stabilization, and digestion of the newly conquered territory.
One of them is already five thousand miles away from Hanjing.
If you fight further north, the farther away the Murwei tribes will be, the more difficult it will be to replenish, and the cold climate of the Songnen Plain will indeed be quite a troublesome problem.
To the south, the war with Chenla continued, and now the Tang army first occupied the coastal Mekong Delta, and then attacked along the Mekong River.
It's just that the hot climate over there and the floods in the rainy season still caused a lot of trouble for the Tang army.
In the aftermath of floods, disease is often rampant, and non-combat attrition is greater than war losses.
"In the north of the Saibei, the imperial court may only be able to maintain it in the mist realm now.
The Mobei grassland across the Great Xianbei Mountain in the west, which is temporarily handed over to the Hui and the Qibi, is to annex Xue Yantuo, I think at least ten years can maintain the stability of the Mobei, ten years later, maybe the Hui and the Qibi will fight, as long as a little control, within ten years, they will not be able to produce results in the infighting, and they will not be able to go south.
As for the Murowei and the Murwei, the imperial court would set up dominions, and the prefectures and counties would be set up in their places first, but for the time being, their own leaders would first serve as officials at all levels, and they would be autonomous for a long time. ” First set up a dominion, and then slowly strengthen some commercial trade, find out more about their situation, and wait for the imperial court to settle grain and grass equipment in the original places of Xiadi, Liaodong, Korea, Liaobei and other places, adapt to the situation there, and then everything is ready, and then wipe them out in a war.
Although it is cold in the north, there is cotton and ondol, and Zhang Chao thinks that it is not a problem to occupy that side.
The problem is that the army now needs to adapt to the terrain and climate there, and it also needs to prepare enough food and grass equipment.
"The regent has such a clear understanding, and I am much more relieved."
