After a while, Zhang Kangguo still had some unfinished thoughts, "These three people are not ordinary people. Especially Li Shaoyi, he is worthy of being given the bullfighting uniform by the officials."
Yu Wencuizhong's eyes flashed, "I heard that this Li Shaoyi was originally the nephew of former Prime Minister Li Bangzhi (Li Qingchen). After Li Bangzhi was severely punished and exiled, this person was not implicated and continued to be used in important positions."
"That's right. Firstly, the officials do not engage in implication. Secondly, although this Li Shaoyi is Li Bang's direct nephew, it was Prime Minister Zhang who took him into the official position, so he had the opportunity to show his talent in front of the officials." Zhang Kangguo said.
"I see."
The two exchanged a few words, then turned to Chen Xiu and Li Wei and said, "You have rarely had contact with military officers before. What do you think of our gathering today?"
"It's not as vulgar as I imagined. Uncle He Shi and that Li Fifteenth Lang, they talk well and have a certain sense of bravery and elegance." Chen Xiu told the truth.
"Haha, the officials once said that a good general cannot just be brave, but must also be proficient in military strategy. Therefore, under the new system, the training of officers and generals requires that they be good at martial arts and good at writing. According to the officials' ideas, it is best to be as good as those in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Ministers are capable of literary and military skills, and they can act as generals."
Yu Wencuizhong smiled and replied, "Cunzhen, your clan uncle might become a military general."
Li Wei was startled, "Please give Mr. Zhongda a clear explanation."
"Your uncle's tutor at Yilun Hall is Mr. Shensi (Guo Yong)."
"But Mr. Shensi, who patrolled the northwest with Mr. Rulin to eliminate evil and evil?"
Before Yu Wencuizhong could reply, I heard someone cheering somewhere in the restaurant. Could there be another happy event?
After asking the waiter to ask, he learned that the news had just come out, saying that the Kaifeng Prefecture had reported the official approval and changed Jinmingchi into Mingchi Park, which is open to the people all year round. Both military and civilian officials and common people can enter and play every day. However, every ten
The garden is closed for a day to repair and maintain everything.
"Changing Jinming Pond into a park? Then where will we train our naval forces in the future?" Li Wei asked curiously.
"Practice a naval force? There is no wind or waves in Jinmingchi. How can we train a naval force? I, the Song Dynasty, will vigorously develop sea ships, ride the wind and waves, and sail the seven seas. Can a naval force be trained in this pool?
?" Yu Wencui said with a smile.
A few people laughed a few times and continued the topic.
"Rulin, after the two gentlemen Shensi returned to Beijing from the northwest, Mr. Rulin went out to control Hebei. The officials originally wanted to send Mr. Shensi out to control Hedong, but they were rejected. Mr. Shensi bluntly said that after experiencing the northwest border patrol incident, he
I found that I was not good at handling complicated political affairs, and it was difficult to manage the complex interpersonal relationships in the local area."
"So the officials appointed Mr. Shensi as the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Chengjun University and Yilun College also appointed him as chief professor. I heard that Mr. Shensi admired Li Yansi (Li Miao) very much. According to the plan, the four states in Hexi abandoned the Xia Dynasty and returned to the Song Dynasty.
Afterwards, a three-year transition period is reserved. During the transition period, the Hexi Protectorate Office will be established."
"Capital Protectorate Office?"
"Yes, the Duhu Administrative Office has a Deputy Duhu Envoy, and each state has an envoy to manage the army and the people, and the military and government are integrated. Our country now has the Hehuang Duhu Administrative Office that was reorganized from the original Longyou Duhu, and the Xihaidu
In a few months, the Hexi Protectorate Office will be added to the Protectorate Office. With the recommendation of Mr. Shensi, Chunzhen, your clan uncle may be appointed as the envoy of a certain state in Hexi."
When he heard that his clan uncle would be reused, Li Wei's face did not look proud, but instead showed a solemn look.
“Would the military and political-integrated protective guards and institutional envoys who manage the army and care for the people evolve into Jiedushi envoys?”
Zhang Kangguo and Yu Wencuizhong's expressions became serious, "You are really serious. However, the officials and the Ministry of Secretariat have repeatedly stated that the Duhu Administrative Office and the Duhu and the establishment of envoys can be regarded as measures to control the border areas that are equivalent to the propaganda and appeasement envoys."
.Keep
Once the three-year transitional period expires, it will immediately become the same as other states and counties. The Hexi prefectures have all been planned. Hexi County will be established and Wuwei County in Liangzhou will be governed. Shanhuang and other prefectures will be established in Xihai County, Xininglan and other prefectures.
Settled in Longyou County."
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but still said worriedly: "Two gentlemen, I am still worried. Officials now use more generals and pay them generously for their military merits. Even the title of nobility is clearly stated in the law, 'Nothing is awarded except for the merits of the country.'"
"Nobleship". What is the contribution of the country? It is nothing more than military merit. I am really worried that in the long run, will it turn into a devaluation of civil servants and a heavy emphasis on military power? Then it will become more and more intense, and eventually it will return to the violent chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"
"We were also worried about this at first. But as the official policy measures became clear, this worry was gradually put aside." Yu Wencuizhong replied slowly. He is the leader of the new generation of scholars and the representative of this group.
"We have carefully studied the thoughts of the officials and found that his ideal ministers are like those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, allowing them to be civilized and military, and to serve as generals and prime ministers. Therefore, he strongly praised Fan Wenzhenggong. In the eyes of many people, Wang Wenchenggong's achievements were higher than those of Fan Wenzheng
Public, but sample essay
Zhenggong personally guarded the northwest and made many military exploits. Although Wang Wenchenggong had the military merit of opening the Xihe River, he was only responsible for making decisions and had no personal battlefield merits. Therefore, Fan Wenzhenggong was posthumously named King of Wei, which was higher than that of Wang Wenchenggong.
Prince of Yuzhang County."
Zhang Kangguo added on the side, "In the eyes of other people, Sima Gong's achievements are higher than those of Wang Wencheng and Fan Wenzheng, but he has no military merits, so the officials only added posthumous titles and did not pursue titles. The profound meaning is,
Do you understand?"
Yu Wencuizhong continued: "According to the new official system, the Privy Council is self-contained and separated from the three provinces. It is difficult for civilian officials to influence the Privy Council and the various military and military departments. However, the food, grass, military pay, ordnance and armor of each military guard must be paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The Department and the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War transferred it to the Munitions Administration."
"Our dynasty has two types of soldiers and horses: recruitment and recruitment. Currently, there are only seven wings of the Zhuque Banner to recruit soldiers and horses. In the future, there may be Xuanwu Banner, White Tiger Banner and Qinglong Banner. It was originally under the direct control of the Privy Council. In February, the official issued an edict.
Re-proclaim the Huiyuan and take direct charge of military and civilian affairs such as the Zhuque Banner."
“All military guards in the mainland, including those from each county, are first recruited by the Armament Department of the Ministry of War. They are first trained intensively in each county for half a year. The outstanding ones are selected into each guard; the remaining ones are selected into various garrison regiments as county soldiers; some are selected
Join the security police force. Food, grass, baggage, and troops are controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War of Shangshu Province; then the army, guards, and garrison regiments are divided and governed. In order to be true, under such a system, although the armaments are strong, it is difficult to cause chaos in the government. "
Seeing the doubtful looks on Li Wei and Chen Xiu's faces, Zhang Kangguo lowered his voice slightly, leaned forward and asked.
"Two days ago, the official family admitted two new concubines. Do you know about these two good nephews?"
"I saw the official announcement from the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Mansion in Donghua Chaobao."
"Do you know the origins of these two concubines?"
"Not sure."
"Mrs. Shuyi Li is the daughter of Li Wenshu, the director of the Department of Merit and Moral Affairs of the Ministry of Rites; Mrs. Shurong Liu is the daughter of a commoner in Kaifeng. The imperial concubine Ming is the daughter of Ming Yuzao, a famous scholar in Bashu. She lost her parents since she was a child.
Grand Su raised her up single-handedly. Queen Zeng is the great-great-granddaughter of Zeng Lugong, and her father is also a famous Confucian scholar."
Having said this, Zhang Kangguo asked meaningfully: "Two good nephews, what do you see here?"
Li Wei and Chen Xiu looked at each other in disbelief and replied in unison: "There is not a single concubine in the official harem who has anything to do with the generals and the Wu family."
It's really unbelievable.
Many emperors and concubines of the Song Dynasty came from the Jiangmen Wu family. Queen Zhenzong, Pan, was the daughter of the founding general Pan Mei; Queen Renzong, Cao, was the granddaughter of the founding general Cao Bin.
Empress Yingzong, the mother of Shenzong, the grandmother of the official family, the famous "female of Yao and Shun", Empress Dowager Gao, came from the top general family - the Gao family, and her uncle Cao Yi was the grandson of Cao Bin.
How the official family stood out among several imperial brothers and won great treasures was very clear to both the government and the public. The support of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army and the Western Army was indispensable.
It stands to reason that after an official ascends the throne, one or two of the new concubines should be from the military family. But there are none.
"It's good to know what's in your mind. We officials, we know what's going on in our minds. He plays the role of civil and military checks and balances very skillfully..."
1. Deputy envoy, in the Song Dynasty, the chief envoy and the deputy envoy were both called together. This chapter has been completed!
