Chapter 261 Imperial Power Supreme(2/2)
It can be said that every emperor must learn to deal with such problems.
The three princes all frowned.
Obviously they need to think carefully before answering this question.
Ye Qingyun was not in a hurry either.
Waited for a while.
Then he looked at the second prince Li Yuanhao.
"Your Highness, you should come first."
Li Yuanhao immediately said, "If the civil and military ministers are at odds, they must balance the civil and military parties. No one party should be allowed to gain the upper hand, and no one party should be allowed to completely overwhelm the other."
Ye Qingyun smiled.
"So, His Highness wants to control civil and military officials in a balanced way?"
Li Yuanhao nodded.
This is indeed his idea.
Ye Qingyun looked at the third prince Li Yuanfeng.
r> "Where is His Highness the Third Prince?"
Li Yuanfeng: "My thoughts are the same as those of the two emperors, which is to balance the power of civil and military officials."
Ye Qingyun hummed and looked directly at the Fourth Prince Li Yuanxiu.
"Your Royal Highness?"
Li Yuanxiu said calmly, "If there is a disagreement between civil and military affairs, we must divide things up. We cannot blindly balance the situation, but we should discuss the matter on a case-by-case basis."
The faces of the second prince and the third prince suddenly turned ugly.
In the previous question, Li Yuanxiu refuted the statements made by the two of them.
And now Li Yuanxiu is here again.
This is obviously going to be against the two of them.
Ye Qingyun seemed to be very interested in what Li Yuanxiu said.
"Oh? Then tell me, how can we discuss the matter?"
Li Yuanxiu doesn't have stage fright either.
"There are only two situations when civil and military officials are at odds."
"One is a disagreement about something."
"The other is to gain more status in the court, thereby suppressing the other party."
Ye Qingyun nodded and motioned for Li Yuanxiu to continue.
"If you understand these two points, the relationship between civil and military officials can actually be easily resolved."
"First of all, we must make it clear that the emperor is the real master of a dynasty, and all power and status must be in the hands of the imperial power."
Hearing this, whether it was Ye Qingyun, Li Tianmin, or Empress Changsun, their eyes lit up.
Li Yuanxiu continued, "The imperial power is supreme, and both civil servants and military generals must submit to the imperial power."
"If civil and military affairs are at odds over something, the emperor must listen to both sides' opinions and then make his own judgment."
"And if the civil and military conflicts are at odds because of the struggle for power, it would be even easier."
Having said this, Li Yuanxiu smiled lightly.
"With all the power in the hands of the emperor, the civil and military ministers can only obey the emperor's orders, and there is no power to fight for."
"All ministers are just tools and chess pieces in the hands of the emperor."
