Chapter 306: Marshal of the Navy "Sons and subordinates, thank you for your father's reward."
In the face of Li Shimin's double reward, Li Zhen naturally wanted to be grateful.
As for Li Shimin's behavior of buying people's hearts, Li Zhen doesn't care, those people have been with him for the longest time for fifteen years, and the short ones have been several years, if they are so easy to be bought, then they were poached by those businessmen waving banknotes as early as last year, when there was just a sign of the Age of Discovery, and the shipyards under their names were only afraid that the buildings would have been empty long ago, and they had already become the commander of the light pole, not to mention the use of a thousand Ningyuan-class clippers to completely open the Age of Discovery.
What's more, Li Zhen also understands Li Shimin's small actions very well, after all, he is a peerless emperor, and he is also a generation of saints, and there are few emperors who can do better than him for three thousand years.
What's more, Li Shimin has a good face (for example, a sentence of Heavenly Khan almost makes Li Shimin brag for a lifetime), and the second is to pay the most attention to his reputation, not only want to go down in history, but also want the people to think of him as soon as they mention the court.
So it is impossible for him to see that there is such a group of people, who only have the crown prince but no emperor in their eyes, open their mouths to a prince's highness, and close their mouths to a prince who is wise, as for this emperor, he is completely ignored, which is really a great mockery of him as an emperor......
The emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he will also be jealous, Li Zhen expressed his understanding.
Besides, Li Zhen thinks that only Li Shimin at this time is the most real self - good face, clever means, jealousy, arrogant and a little cute......
Shaking off this messy idea in his heart, Li Zhen bowed to Li Shimin and said: "In addition, the son of the minister invited his father, Liu Renliang is not only the founder of the Dengzhou Shipyard, but also the founder of the Tang Navy, in terms of the understanding of naval warfare, the Tang Dynasty should not be its opponent, but the best ideal candidate for the marshal of the Navy - the son of the minister to promote Liu Renliang as the first marshal of the Tang Navy, and also ask his father to agree." ” "Huh?
I?
Liu Renliang was taken aback, as the person who knew most about naval warfare in Datang and even in the world, if he wanted to say that he didn't peep into the position of marshal, it would be pure nonsense.
But Liu Renliang knows his own affairs, and his current position in the Tang Dynasty is very embarrassing - although he is the governor of the Yuezhou fleet, don't forget, he was born as a civilian official at the beginning, and now he is just a civil and military leader.
First of all, the civilian camp can't go back, after all, he is competing for a military position, and the grade is still very high, and it is impossible for his former colleagues to accept him.
And even if the military generals camp is willing to accept him, but in the military generals camp, there are several bigwigs, in Liu Renliang's mind, the position of the marshal of the navy can definitely be done, but the first one is don't think about it, there are so many old qualifications in the army, I am not sure that I can compete with them.
But he really didn't expect that Li Zhen would actually recommend him as the first marshal of the navy - you must know that in a way, the position of marshal of the navy can be on par with the marshal of the army, and the major fleets are equivalent to the sixteen guards in the forbidden army, and the governor of the fleet is the general of the sixteen guards.
Moreover, unlike the field marshal, which can only be appointed temporarily (Li Jing was the same position when the Eastern Turks were destroyed in those years), the naval marshal is permanent, because the dispatch of the navy is more troublesome than that of the army, and someone needs to command and deploy at all times.
In other words, if Liu Renliang really became the marshal of the navy, then his position in the army would become the first in the Tang Dynasty, and even Li Jing was inferior to him, such a high position, is it really something he can hold?
Are those bigwigs in the army really willing to watch themselves step into the sky and step on their heads?
Liu Renliang was a little apprehensive in his heart......
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you think of the prince's proposal?"
Li Shimin asked casually, his tone was flat without a little emotion, because he had already thought of this, in his opinion, Liu Renliang is indeed the most suitable person, not only because Liu Renliang is the founder of the Tang Navy, nor because Liu Renliang's understanding of naval warfare is far above the rest of the people, but the more important reason is that Liu Renliang and Li Zhen and Li Shimin can be involved in the relationship, which can be regarded as the link between the two.
Don't forget, Liu Renliang was discovered by Li Zhen, and from beginning to end he has absolute trust in him, which can be called his Bole, for Li Zhen, Liu Renliang has always been grateful, even if Li Zhen was angry some time ago Liu Renliang was dismissed as a civilian, it still can't change his gratitude.
And correspondingly, Li Shimin also has the grace to Liu Renliang, some time ago after Liu Renliang was dismissed by Li Zhen, Liu Renliang finally understood what it means to be warm and cold, the world is cold, when he served as the governor of the Yuezhou fleet, it can be said that the court is like a city, and there is an endless stream of visitors, and when he was dismissed by Li Zhen, he immediately snubbed the saddle horse, and even his former colleagues avoided him like a snake and scorpion.
In this case, Li Shimin came, and then the day after Li Zhen returned, he was re-promoted to become the governor of the Yuezhou fleet, and then those who slacked whiskers and patted horses immediately came up again......
Therefore, for Li Shimin, Liu Renliang is also very grateful, if he hadn't made a move, even if Li Zhen restored his official position, it is estimated that he would have to wait for a long time.
In other words, Liu Renliang is the link between Li Zhen and Li Shimin, and he is a candidate acceptable to both parties.
If this person is replaced by Li Jing, Li Zhen will definitely not agree, he dedicated the navy to the country, but he can't watch the navy completely taken away by the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with himself from now on - after all, the navy was established with the support of Li Zhen, which is equivalent to Li Zhen's child, although he knows that giving this child to the state to raise can give the child a better future, but Li Zhen does not want this child to deny himself in the future.
Similarly, if the marshal of the navy is replaced by Xue Rengui, Li Shimin will not agree, Xue Rengui is Li Zhen's absolute confidant, Li Shimin finally asked the navy back, and now it is handed over to Xue Rengui, what is the difference between this and giving it back to Li Zhen?
Therefore, the marshal of the Navy is only served by Liu Renliang, which is the most acceptable to both sides.
However, having said that, Li Shimin and Li Zhen both supported Liu Renliang's promotion to marshal of the navy, but the officials did not see it that way......
