"How could this happen? Where's Judge Zhao? Let Judge Zhao think of a solution!" Ning Wanyin looked at Helian Qi with tears in her eyes: "Or offer a reward to the world's famous doctors..."
Ning Wanyin knew that the emperor would never make his illness public.
But at this moment, she couldn't maintain clear judgment and threw her brain away first!
"Wanwan, calm down. Apart from a few imperial doctors, you are the only one who knows about my condition." Helian Qi said in a deep voice.
At this moment, there were only two of them in the entire hall.
Even Wang Degui didn't serve him closely.
"The princes are young. If the news of my illness spreads, there will be turmoil in the court. Some ministers will place bets secretly. They may bet on a few princes, or on princes and dukes. The fight for the throne will inevitably cause civil unrest." Helian Qi said in a steady tone. These were all things he had thought carefully about.
"Now everyone in the court is loyal to Your Majesty, how could this happen..." Ning Wanyin continued to cry mindlessly.
"Powerful officials do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery. Their loyalty to Da Yan does not conflict with their struggle for power and profit. Even if people do not act for their own selfish interests, they still act for the interests of their family and community."
There are many people in this world who cannot be judged simply by good or bad.
Especially those courtiers standing at the highest positions.
They seek profit for themselves, they are loyal to the court, they are loyal to His Majesty, and they can also change people for support.
So when dealing with them, trust them in part, but always remain skeptical.
"Time is running out for you and me. Once I leave, there may be turmoil inside and outside Da Yan again." Helian Qi picked up the memorial on the table again and handed it to Ning Wanyin:
"Wan Wan, are you willing to rule the world with me?"
Ning Wanyin looked at him with tears in her eyes.
It all happened so suddenly.
She had imagined many scenarios of getting along with the emperor, and had had many conversations with him before...
The only thing he never thought about was that the emperor was going to die suddenly.
She didn't have much time to think.
First of all, there is no need for the emperor to lie to her, because what the emperor meant is: If you are unwilling, when Xier ascends the throne, Dayan will be caught in internal and external troubles, and I need you.
For these reasons, refusal would be disloyal.
Secondly, the emperor needed someone who could stabilize his regime. If the person did not study hard, he would feel uneasy and think that the regime was not entrusted to the right person, so he would look for another candidate.
In the end, the emperor felt that she loved him very much.
"I don't know if I can do it, but I will definitely do my best to protect the country you have fought for." Ning Wanyin's face was covered with tear marks, but her tone was firm.
She meant this sincerely.
She will give it her all.
"Wanwan, I believe you." There was a hint of relief in Helian Qi's eyes.
Ning Wanyin just looked at him with tears in her eyes, and tears as big as beans fell down one by one, hitting the bottom of Helian Qi's heart, creating ripples.
She couldn't bear to leave him.
"Wanwan——" Helian Qi sighed softly and reached out to hold her in his arms.
No one can avoid the separation of life and death. Even if he is an emperor, he has to face death.
Neither the emperor nor the concubine said anything else.
In the hall, there were only two people leaning against each other quietly, and Ning Wanyin's silent tears.
…
At dusk.
Ning Wanyin cried all day.
She sat under the lamp, her eyes as red and swollen as walnuts, carefully looking at the memorial given to her by Helian Qi.
You can cry, but after crying you must be strong and shoulder the heavy burden.
She needs to remain sad and reluctant, but at the same time she must also work hard to learn how to handle government affairs.
"When Dayan established its own country, it appointed nobles to guard the borders and censors to serve as military supervisors. But during the time of the previous emperor, the military supervisors were already in name only..." Helian Qi introduced.
Our ancestors appointed censors as military supervisors in order to supervise military generals.
But it is inevitable that officials will protect each other.
This was especially prevalent during the reign of the previous emperor. Because the government was controlled by the Xue and Cen families, even if you were a civil servant, if you didn't join the sect, even if you passed the imperial examination, you would only hold a sinecure and would never have the opportunity to be promoted.
Only officials who join the Xue and Cen parties can rise rapidly in the officialdom.
Therefore, the imperial censors in the court were easily bribed by Xue and Cen. Occasionally there were loyal and upright people, but they would sit on the bench for their entire lives and would never have the opportunity to supervise the army.
There were two incidents in the southwest where generals took up arms and rebelled against the enemy country...
Therefore, the emperor reformed the armaments and checked the military generals.
"One strategy to check and balance the generals is to separate the soldiers from the generals." Helian Qi looked at Ning Wanyin:
"But I don't need it. Wanwan might understand?"
Ning Wanyin pondered for three times, and chose her words carefully: "I am not familiar with military affairs, but I remembered the guards on my own farm. We once hired a famous swordsman as the chief guard at a high price. Later, the farm was robbed, but such a master escaped."
"The palace sent a steward to ask about it. The guard leader complained that the guards were running too slowly. The guards were just ordinary people and they really couldn't match his skills. The guards complained that he didn't arrange people to block the small path in the back mountain in advance, which is why he let people run away."
"The captain of the guards has just arrived, so he is naturally unfamiliar with the terrain. He is not familiar with the guards, and he does not know their strength, so he cannot outrun the thieves. I draw the same analogy: if the soldiers and generals are separated, their strength will surely be weak. If there are no thieves, it will be fine. But if there are thieves, we will definitely not be able to defend the place."
Helian Qi looked at her in surprise. This young woman, who said she knew nothing about military affairs, actually saw through the key points at a glance.
If the soldiers and generals are separated, it will directly affect the overall military strength of Dayan.
With Daliang eyeing the country covetously, Dayan is now trying its best to improve the combat effectiveness of its border troops. Therefore, although there are some strategies that can check and balance the generals, they will not be used.
"Some state policies are not used, not because the ruler does not listen to advice, but because compared with the consequences it will cause, it is better to maintain the status quo. Solving a problem often leads to new problems. There is no perfect and permanent state policy in the world. When a ruler faces a problem, he should mainly consider whether it can solve the current predicament and whether the consequences are acceptable at this moment."
"As for any changes in the future, we will readjust them according to the situation. Don't be afraid of modifications. The formulation of national policies is originally intended to solve the difficulties at the time, and the situation in Dayan will not remain in the past." Helian Qi said in a deep voice.
It was as if I had returned to the time when Ning Wanyin first entered the palace.
Helian Qi taught her how to paint in detail.
At that time, Helian Qi felt helpless.
But this time, he taught with great pleasure.
"Wanwan understands." Ning Wanyin smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is telling Wanwan that although you have established a new military supervision system now, if it is inappropriate in the future, Wanwan must have the determination and courage to change it!"
The military supervision system set up by Helian Qi.
With the personal guards who had accompanied him through life and death in the southwest, he established the Qilin Guard, which has always been under the exclusive command of the emperor.
The Qilin Guard is the emperor's personal guard and is not part of the official system such as the Six Ministries and the Censorate.
The headquarters is located in the capital, and the chief officer is the commander-in-chief, who is temporarily appointed by Han Xun.
The Qilin Guards were appointed as military supervisors, who rotated once a year to supervise the military commanders and take charge of food and salary matters.
The first batch of Qilin Guards were all soldiers who had gone through life and death with the emperor on this occasion, and they had crazy admiration and loyalty to the emperor.
The promotion of officials in the entire Qilin Guard depends entirely on the emperor, and the money comes from the inner treasury, without interference from the six ministries.
