Chapter 111

Even Li Tianmin fell into deep thought upon hearing this question. Discord between civil officials and military generals. This is something no dynasty can avoid. After all, civil and military officials have different ways of thinking and different methods of doing things; when they are together in the imperial court, friction is inevitable. Having conflict is not scary. The hardest part is how to handle the relationship between them. Leaning toward one side is bad, but trying to play the peacemaker only allows the conflict to intensify gradually. Eventually, there will be a day when it erupts. Once that happens, it won't just be discord; it will be the collapse of the court and the disintegration of the dynasty.
