Chapter 1120: If You Don't Do It Now, You'll Have

Emperor suddenly passed awayThis government, isn't it still up to the chief minister And in the palace, isn't it still up to the empressWhat's so great about a prince anyway.So he was very keen to g...> Chapter 1120 If you don't do it now, you'll have to wait twenty years.

Possessing a millennium of experience from history and the insight of modern army construction, Li Chen was intimately familiar with the reforms of the entire court and military organization.

The entire plan was in his mind.

Actually, in Li Chen's view, the most suitable approach would be to introduce the political thought work roles of a modern army within the military. However, due to factors such as national circumstances, social civilization levels, and the country's political system, Li Chen had to give up on this idea.

But even so, he still consolidated the original five military governors' mansion and the Ministry of War's unified military power after merging them into three.

Triangles, have always been the most stable relationship structure.

Each department would naturally have a competitive relationship with each other, keeping each other in check and overseeing one another. There wouldn't be any need for Li Chen to do anything more.

This benign competition is exactly what Li Chen aims to achieve.

And he could indirectly control the entire army by simply managing the core leadership of the three government departments.

Su Zhen'ting initially thought that Li Chen's reforms were merely superficial changes. But to his surprise, Li Chen intended to completely overhaul and rebuild the entire military command structure of the Daqin Empire from the ground up.

Su Zhen's first reaction was this: would his actions be too big

"Your Highness, such a large-scale reform is likely to cause much resistance. Furthermore, with the dismantling of old departments and the establishment of new ones, questions arise about who will go where and fill what positions. All these aspects require careful consideration. A great deal of interest will be at stake, and where there are interests, there will be disputes. It's inevitable that there will be some turmoil."

Su Zhen Ting's words were reasonable, Li Chen nodded and said: "That's right, precisely because this is a bone-chilling transformation, so this palace must complete it as early and as quickly as possible."

"General Su, if you miss this opportunity, it will be at least twenty years before another arises."

Right now, after just defeating Zhao Xuanji, his influence within the court is at its lowest while the East Palace's prestige is at its highest. This is the perfect opportunity to seize and there will never be a better time to act in the future.

At the very least, we have to wait until Li Chen formally ascends the throne. But right after ascending the throne, it's impossible to make such drastic reforms. We also need to wait until the vassal states are successfully subdued and Li Chen's control over the government reaches its peak, when he can say whatever he wants and have it done. Only then will there be hope of accomplishing this.

It should be noted that the imperial court has always been a human-ruled system, and as long as it is a human-ruled system, there will be various struggles of interests and political compromises.

I have never seen an emperor as powerful as this one. However, during his reign, he hasn't accomplished many of the things he wanted to do

The body itself is one aspect, but on the other hand, it's clear that there are heavy obstacles from the government.

Li Chen had a feeling that the great emperor was guiding him towards becoming heir apparent.

This heir does not refer to the heir to the throne, but also to the political successor.

The Great Emperor had spent his whole life wanting to weaken the feudal lords, but he failed to accomplish it. He hoped that Li Chen would be able to complete what he started.

Reducing the power of feudal lords, or "削藩," was something Li Chen had to do. But Li Chen's ambitions went even further than that.

He wants to bring about a complete transformation of the Qin Empire, from the inside out, from top to bottom.

After listening to Li Chen's words, Su Zhen Ting remained silent.

For a long time, Su Zhenting cupped his hands and said: "I, swear allegiance to the prince until death."

Li Chen chuckled and said, "This palace intends to appoint General Su as the first Grand General of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion and the chief official of the Logistics Department. General Su can recommend someone to this palace."

Reform is reform, Li Chen cannot afford to alienate Su ZhenTing.

Therefore, the nominal general was none other than Su Zhen-ting.

As for the logistics officer, Li Chen was a show for the world to see. The Eastern Palace and the Su family remained trustworthy allies, also a comfort to Su Zhen'ting.ay."Li Chen wore a kind expression and said, "It's only a few days. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This palace can wait, but I hope you can tell me how to pass the message.""This..." Huang Ji Tian...
