The emperor looked at Chen Changfeng and looked at Chen Changfeng carefully.
The emperor still doesn't understand why Chen Changfeng suddenly seemed to have changed.
He didn't know anything before, but now he can even think of such national policies.
Even more, he single-handedly planned all the officials in the Taiji Palace, so that he, the emperor, could dare to say that redundant officials and generals should be abolished.
Is this kid still his own son?
"Why does the emperor look at his son like this?" Chen Changfeng asked proactively when he saw that the emperor was silent.
The emperor smiled lightly, no matter how Chen Changfeng changed, he was his son and this matter could not be changed.
"I'm wondering if it's worth it if you've been busy for so long just to attract some fresh blood to your command." The emperor said slowly.
"Father already knows, I thought I could hide it from him." Chen Changfeng smiled slightly and held hands with the emperor.
"Hmph, don't do this. Don't you know that I can guess your thoughts?"
"You just know that I have no reason to reject you." The emperor snorted coldly.
Only when Chen Changfeng has his own purpose can the emperor rest assured.
Otherwise, the emperor would have to worry that if he worked so hard to do something, he would really get no benefit at all?
"As long as the abolition matter can be handled safely, I will let you preside over this first imperial examination."
"This can be regarded as my reward to you." The emperor waved his hand and said.
Chen Changfeng felt that the emperor was still a human being, and his work was not in vain.
"My dear father, thank you very much," Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
However, the emperor's face showed no trace of joy.
Obviously, the emperor's worries were not limited to the dismissal of redundant officials and generals.
Chen Changfeng knew without asking that the emperor was worried about the war with the Chu Empire.
Although the emperor's tone and attitude were firm in the Tai Chi Hall, in fact the emperor was not sure at all.
With the current military and national strength of the Ming Dynasty, facing the Chu Empire, it is undoubtedly a mantis trying to defeat the chariot.
It is absolutely impossible to win.
But the emperor could not swallow his anger, otherwise the arrogance of the Chu Empire would become even higher.
"Changfeng, if we really go to war with the Chu Empire this time, what are the chances of our Ming Dynasty winning?" After the emperor asked this, he felt that he was really dizzy.
Chen Changfeng has never been exposed to the military. If you ask him about his chances of winning, isn't he asking a cow?
It is better to ask the third child. He is the Minister of the Ministry of War and must be aware of this matter.
"I feel that if we really go to war with the Chu Empire, the victory or defeat should be between 50 and 50..."
"Between five and five?" The emperor smiled, and then shook his head.
Secretly, it turned out that Chen Changfeng knew nothing about military affairs.
The emperor did not believe that Ming Dynasty still had half a chance of winning.
The gap between Da Ming and Da Chu is really quite big.
The national power and military power were completely crushed by the Chu Empire.
Otherwise, why would the Chu Empire dare to be so arrogant? Not only did they not withdraw from the thirteen cities of Nanjun, but they also dared to kill their envoys from the Ming Empire?
"Li Fengxian, the commander-in-chief of the Chu Empire's southern army, is arrogant and thinks he is invincible. He is brave but lacks strategy. It is not difficult to deal with such a person."
"What's more, I, Liu Shuwen, the military advisor of the Ming Dynasty, have unpredictable abilities. Even if Li Fengxian is strong and the Chu army is brave, they cannot easily defeat him. This is one."
"We, the Ming Empire, occupy Daoyi, but Chu broke his promise, failed in the competition, and continued to occupy our Ming territory. He also killed our Ming envoys. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty was indignant and wished they could eat their flesh. This is the second one."
"Father, you govern with benevolence and righteousness. The Emperor of Da Chu is tyrannical. The palace of the General of Da Chu was massacred by the Emperor of Da Chu. There are also many complaints among the army of Da Chu. This is the third one."
"The king of the State of Zhao is his son's uncle. If the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, there is no reason why the State of Zhao will not save it. This is the fourth point."
"Our Ming Empire is about to..."
"Wait a minute, you kid, don't say any more."
"Besides, I thought this battle was definitely won!" Chen Changfeng wanted to continue, but was interrupted by the emperor.
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and walked slowly to Chen Changfeng, his eyes always surrounding Chen Changfeng's face.
The emperor didn't believe that Chen Changfeng could analyze so many things that were beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
And every one of these is something that actually exists completely.
The emperor never thought that Chen Changfeng actually knew this.
I am afraid that many veterans in the army cannot analyze what Chen Changfeng just said.
They would only see the apparent gap in military strength between the Ming Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty, and be too frightened to make the slightest move.
No other things will be analyzed at all.
And everything Chen Changfeng said to himself may affect the outcome of this war.
Between five and five, it’s really possible!
The emperor nodded to Chen Changfeng with great satisfaction. At this moment, the emperor was in a much better mood, but he suddenly said: "Just now in the court, you said you were willing to contribute some military funds. When are you going to hand over the money to me?"
The emperor will never forget this if he forgets anything.
If this war goes on for a long time, the money in the treasury will definitely not be enough.
"We'll wait until the treasury runs out of money." Chen Changfeng would not promise the emperor how much money he would contribute at this time.
Otherwise, you will have to hand it over when the time comes.
The emperor was otherwise very good, but he only had an eye for money.
Otherwise, the 30% of the corruption money that was promised to Chen Changfeng was not given to him in the end?
The emperor pointed at Chen Changfeng: "You are getting better and better. Even I don't believe it."
"It's all thanks to my father's education!" Chen Changfeng said with a smile.
"You little bastard." The emperor's face twitched.
…
The second prince and the third prince were together again.
At this moment, both of them looked gloomy.
There were many ministers of the DPRK and China sitting around him, and none of them looked good.
The emperor wanted to abolish civil servants and military generals, and also implemented the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty.
This simply kills them.
Among the people sitting here, except the prince, who was not recommended here?
Which of them doesn't want to recommend their relatives and friends to the court to replace them in the future when they can no longer do it?
With the existence of the recommendation system, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, there will always be people in their family who can stand in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
But now?
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Crown Prince is really ruthless to the extreme. He actually wants to subvert our relationship network with one move." an official from the Ministry of Justice said coldly.
"If the imperial examination is really implemented, what will our descendants do?"
"They also have to take exams with those untouchables?"
"There are also abolition of civilian and military officers. What if it falls on us?" the official of the Ministry of Rites looked gloomy.
"Third Prince, most of the generals in the army are under your command. Please say something." The black-faced general looked at the silent Third Prince.
The reason why the third prince didn't say anything was simply that he hadn't thought of any way to stop this yet.
The emperor has already said that unless they themselves are willing to pay the extra salaries to those officials and generals.
But how can they have so much money?
And even if they have money, they dare to do this?
By paying a salary on behalf of the emperor, is this preparation for rebellion or something else?
Seeing that the third prince was motionless, everyone looked at the second prince.
The second prince is the head of civil servants. If even he can't do anything...
"Everyone, I have a way, but I need your cooperation." The second prince looked at everyone and said slowly.
