When mentioning the tiger talisman, Lu Pheasant thought for a moment and added,
"You come and go, as short as three months, as long as half a year. Since it is an emergency period, I am going to change the Fu Xi Order in charge of the Fu Xi.
At present, the Fu Xi Order is under the control of the Young Mansion and is regarded as the responsibility of the inner court. I plan to add an extra layer of protection and change it to dual management.
But I haven't figured out how to set it up yet. "
"Well, it doesn't matter."
Liu Ji finished the last tangerine in the box and clapped his hands with satisfaction.
“These are small things, they are so trivial, you should do them yourself.
You have taken on so many things at once, can you handle it? "
He smiled indifferently and did not think about it in detail. He only felt that the queen was probably jealous of her rivalry with Qi Ji, so she hurriedly took over the power to show her superiority.
Lu Zhi had no time to pay attention to his teasing and continued,
“Also, this is His Majesty’s first personal expedition since establishing the dynasty, so everything must be done in a certain way so that future generations can follow suit.
After you set off, the prince is young, and the guards in the north and south palaces must also be changed. "
"This is serious business."
After saying what was important in his heart, Liu Jiben was about to leave. When he heard Lu Fei's words, he sat back on the couch again.
"The choice of Miyagi Guardsman is no small matter. Who are you going to replace?"
Is there anyone available right now? "
"I have to ask Your Majesty, who can you trust?
As long as there are useful generals, you can't wait to take them all away and leave none in Luoyang.
You can't point to Xiao He, who eats, eats, eats, eats, eats, eats, eats, and wears clothes, spinning around day and night. "
Liu Ji couldn't help but smile. While he was searching his belly and thinking hard, he suddenly heard Lu Pheasant say,
"Your Majesty, how about my eldest brother Lu Ze becoming a guard?"
"He——"
Liu Ji paused and said slowly,
"——He has some prestige in the military."
Some prestige?
Lu Pheasant couldn't help laughing. After the Battle of Pengcheng, you were beaten to the point where you lost your armor and fled from a small road to Xiayi, Dang County. You went to my elder brother Lu Ze who was stationed in Dang County overnight.
Thanks to him guarding Dang County, you were able to gradually gather the remaining soldiers of the Han army, accumulate strength, and make a comeback.
"Is there anything your Majesty can't believe in his loyalty?"
Lu Pheasant asked with a smile.
“Ahem, that’s not the case.
I just heard that he had not recovered from his old illness on the battlefield and was getting a little old, so he didn't take him with him when he went north to conquer Zang Tu. "
"This is exactly how His Majesty shows care and concern for his elder brother. He has always been sensible and grateful.
However, in these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken, and it is not a bad thing to be cautious.
After much thought, I found that my brother was the most at ease.
My biological sister is willing to give up, so why are you reluctant to give up? "
The wind and rain outside the window rustled, Liu Ji's expression remained normal, but he kept thinking about it in his heart——
Lu Ze once helped him at the critical moment of life and death in the war, and he had rich experience in front of the battle. He was a brave and strategic general.
Moreover, whether in public or private affairs, the Lu family, which he and Lu Fei belonged to, was firmly bound to the throne and interests of the Han Dynasty, and there was absolutely no reason to stir up trouble behind the scenes.
Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate to leave the security work of the two palaces to him.
However, there was something vaguely unreliable about Liu Ji. In the past, he was just a small pavilion chief, and the rich and powerful Yue family always brought him many self-evident conveniences.
But now that he is the emperor, if the queen's family becomes more and more powerful, wouldn't it mean that there will be danger of her relatives?
However, what will happen to this first-time wife who is always trying to grab credit, two seriously ill brothers, and several nephews who are still in their late teens?
He was weighing this, but did not respond to the Queen's proposal for a moment, and was noncommittal.
Lu Pheasant glanced at his expression, smiled silently, and then changed his mind and changed the topic.
"Your Majesty, please think carefully about the candidate for the Miyagi Guards. There will only be a few days left.
I suddenly thought of something else. Your Majesty went north to conquer the rebels. Have you finished writing your message? "
***
"A proclamation? What proclamation?"
Liu Ji was stunned. After all, he was the emperor for the first time in his life, and he knew nothing about those high-sounding steps.
"Yes, you are now the emperor. You will be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and you will defeat cruel thieves. You will be known as a teacher.
As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished. "
The memorandum is a very important special official document, and it is also a type of writing with great combat effectiveness.
Since ancient times, there have been numerous records of "decided by passing a message", and the earliest can be traced back to the Xia Dynasty.
As a political document used by one side of the war to denounce the other side, the statement pays attention to "the impact of a hundred feet, the destruction of a book, the city of ten thousand pheasants, the fall of a statement." Rather than pursuing authenticity, the statement pays more attention to inciting emotions.
Lu Pheasant remembered that in his previous life, the one that was highly praised by everyone as the best essay in the world was King Luo Bin's "Pleading for Wu Zhao for Xu Jingye".
The appeal was impassioned, powerful, neatly contrasted, and fluent. She read it over and over so many times that she knew every word by heart.
The rebellion against her was well planned but did not cause any waves. It was a pity that the author of that legendary work was on the wrong side after all.
"What should I write in this statement?"
Liu Ji was still a little confused, unable to turn his head for a while, and stared blankly at Lu Pheasant.
"What's so difficult about this? The main purpose is just four words: to do justice for heaven.
Using the right to defeat the unjust, he listed Zang Tu's cruel crimes and denounced him vigorously.
At the same time, you must praise yourself more and emphasize your "destiny" as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Such things are all in "Tang Oath". Have you not read "Shang Shu·Gan Oath"? "
When Lu Pheasant talked about what he was good at, he talked endlessly, and he unconsciously adopted the tone of lecturing his son.
"Have you ever read The Vow?"
Liu Ji stared, thinking that the queen was probably crazy.
"Gan Oath" is a pre-military mobilization order made by Emperor Xia Qi of the Xia Dynasty after he ascended the throne to attack the rebellious princes You Hu. It can be regarded as the earliest military proclamation in history.
In his oath, Xia Qi clearly pointed out various crimes committed by the Youhu family, and explained that as the emperor's own soldier, he intended to "respectfully carry out heaven's punishment" and was entrusted by heaven's destiny.
"Oh, I, I remembered it after hearing Ying'er recite it."
She was startled, blamed herself for being carried away, and hurriedly covered it up.
"In short, we use words and writing to appease the people, frighten the enemy, and improve the morale of our army.
You have to prove that you are 'Heaven' and the only choice for the people of Li. "
“This is quite reasonable.
It's just a matter of destiny, a temporary idea. How can I prove it to convince the public? "
On the couch covered with three layers of six-colored silk mats, the mats were heavy and luxurious. Liu Ji crossed his legs and began to think seriously.
Lu Pheasant rolled his eyes, gently raised his right hand, stretched out three white fingers,
"I helped Your Majesty think about it, and there are three things that can be said.
First, there is the matter of slaying the white snake in the Tao.
This happened after you raised the army, and it was witnessed by many people, so there is no need to publicize it again.
White Snake is the son of the White Emperor, and you are the son of the Red Emperor. The son of the Red Emperor killed the White Emperor's son effortlessly. Isn't this destiny?
It's just... the remaining two things, I'm a bit ashamed to say, are actually related to me. "
It's not like you have destiny, it's simply destiny for me, Lu Pheasant thought to himself.
