Chapter 734

The power of a top aristocratic family like the Yuan family is really strong to an unimaginable degree.

Of course, if it only reached this level, it would not be enough.

What is even more fatal is.

One Yuan family is already like this.

What about other big aristocratic families?

For example, the Hongnong Yang family, the Yingchuan Xun family, the Taiyuan Wang family, etc., are also like this.

Even for ordinary small and medium-sized aristocratic families.

The power they can use is by no means what ordinary people can imagine.

Therefore.

Military power does not refer to the number of soldiers in a general sense.

But refers to all armed forces that can be mobilized in hand!

Those who have no military power in their hands will definitely not be able to succeed.

The most classic example is the Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.

Don't look at how huge the momentum was during the Hundred Days' Reform.

But in reality?

Among those who held military power in the court, almost no one was willing to stand by Guangxu's side.

This led to Cixi's counterattack.

Except for the Guangxu Emperor, the remaining people of the reform faction could only end up dead or fleeing.

There is no helping it.

Without armed forces in hand, the fist cannot be hard at all, and it is useless!

And now.

Liu Hong has just succeeded to the throne, and in the eyes of the aristocratic family group and the military general group, besides his age, more contempt is also because Liu Hong has no soldiers in his hands.

Is it difficult for Liu Hong, who has no soldiers to use, to send out the group of eunuchs like the Ten Eunuchs to fight?

emmm, this is really too difficult for people.

After all.

The Ten Eunuchs are not the Eastern Depot and Western Depot of later generations.

Their talent for playing with political power and fighting with each other is okay.

But when it comes to other things, it is really a big girl getting on a sedan chair, the first time.

And the military general group is precisely grasping the point that Liu Hong has no one to use, hoping to handle Liu Hong.

But sorry.

No matter how arrogant and domineering the military general group is, they cannot leave an excuse in front of the aristocratic family group and be disrespectful to Liu Hong, this emperor.

But now it seems.

Liu Hong's appetite is somewhat beyond imagination.

If he agrees to give Liu Hong some military power, it means that the interests of the military general group will be damaged to a certain extent.

What is this kind of thing like?

It's like taking their land in front of the landlord and distributing it to others.

Can the military general group do this kind of thing?

That is obviously impossible!

Therefore, Zhang Huan's reaction was so big after hearing what Huangfu Gui said.

"Ranming, calm down, calm down."

"You have also lived for more than half your life, can't you even see such a small problem?"

"Since His Majesty wants military power."

"Then we will give it to him."

Before the voice fell, Zhang Huan's face was almost turning into a pig's liver.

But Huangfu Gui chose to ignore him and added to himself:

"But in this military power, the quality of the soldiers is good or bad, but it is up to us to decide."

"Moreover, do you think this is enough?"

"The general who leads the troops is also up to us to decide."

"This army is just formally belonging to His Majesty."

"In essence, it still obeys you and me."

"In this way, we can gain His Majesty's trust and guarantee everyone's power, why not do it?"

After listening, Zhang Huan finally knew Huangfu Gui's old and cunning nature.

As the saying goes.

There are policies above, and countermeasures below.

Liu Hong wants soldiers?

The idea is very good.

But what the composition of this army is, everything is decided by Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan.

This destined that Liu Hong could not become the real master of these soldiers.

"Brother Weiming, you are still amazing."

"I listen to you."

Zhang Huan looked at Huangfu Gui with admiration.

People who can sit in the position of the head of military officials are naturally not fools.

Huangfu Gui touched the gray beard on his chin.

He is old, but there are others in the Huangfu family who can take over the banner from his hands.

Therefore, even if this new emperor Liu Hong succeeds to the throne.

He must still look at the face of his Huangfu family.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Gui's mood became much better.

But what he didn't know was.

An old fox hiding in the dark has a much better grasp of the situation than him.

West of Luoyang City

Yuan family mansion

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Yuan Wei lifted his sleeves lightly and practiced calligraphy with a normal face.

But looking at the big characters written, Yuan Wei was a bit dissatisfied.

It's strange to say.

As the head of the top aristocratic Yuan family, Yuan Wei's calligraphy has never been very good.

This matter has always made Yuan Wei very entangled.

But there is no way.

Perhaps some people think that calligraphy is something that can be practiced well.

But in reality, there is really a large group of people who have practiced calligraphy for many years, but there is still no improvement.

I'm very sorry, Yuan Wei is one of them.

However.

Except for the relatively poor calligraphy.

In other aspects, Yuan Wei is still okay.

As the head of a top aristocratic family like the Yuan family, Yuan Wei can be said to be quite qualified.

At least, during the period when he was in charge of the aristocratic family group.

The Yuan family not only flourished every day.

And it also perfectly suppressed the Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, Duan Jiong, and others of the military general group.

After writing a piece of calligraphy, Yuan Wei put away the inkstone pen with a lack of interest.

Boring, no meaning.
