Zhu Yijun exchanged ideas with Liang Menglong for a while about strategies to control the grassland, and he began to admire him more and more. The overall impression given to him by Liang Menglong was that he was thoughtful in thinking, pointed to the point in his conversations, and picked up history and allusions when talking.
He was a learned man. What was even more rare was that when he spoke to the emperor, he was not submissive, but rather impassioned and infectious.
After talking for a while, Zhu Yijun finally talked about the issue that has often concerned him in the past two years: "Now the new army has been established, and it has been guarding and recruiting troops for several years. The training standards of the national army have been unified, and it has achieved some results." When he said this, he
There was a pause.
After hearing this, Liang Menglong felt ecstatic in his heart, knowing that the military strategy he secretly reported in the silver seal had been noticed by Zhu Yijun and was likely to be adopted.
He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what you said is what I said -"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Ai Qing's previous secret report is true. Suppressing military power with literature can certainly avoid the disaster of vassal towns, but the Song Dynasty did not lack money, food, people, and land, and it perished first in the Jin Dynasty and then in the Song Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty was due to the failure of a proper balance between civil and military affairs."
"Since I came to the throne, I have deeply felt that the opposition between the civil and military forces in our dynasty has been reversed. Over the years, I have conferred titles and lands to encourage those who dare to fight, and also established a Privy Council to compete with the civil officials. However, after the status of military personnel has been significantly improved, I am afraid of forming an army.
, Xun’s interest group has serious concerns that cannot be ignored. I have to make plans in advance for the sake of my descendants.”
Liang Menglong echoed: "Your Majesty's words about 'interest groups' hit home the truth. Even the most holy and wise ministers share this concern."
"Take Jiliao as an example. Although there are two officers, Ning Yuanbo and Zhang Chen, guarding the court, the east and north sides of the court have no worries, but the frontier commanders have been stationed in the same place for a long time, which has the disadvantage of having generals and soldiers integrated!"
Zhu Yijun heard this and asked in a low voice: "Does Li Chengliang mean to be unstable?"
Liang Menglong said hurriedly: "That's not what I meant. Both Ning Yuanbo and General Zhang are very stable. What I said is a universal issue." Zhu Yijun suddenly heard Liang Menglong say such modern words and laughed: "
Ganji read the Three Treatises well."
Liang Menglong hurriedly flattered him and said: "Your Majesty's "On Contradictions", "On Practice" and "On Connections" have explained everything in the world thoroughly. Although Confucius is Confucian, he is not as good as Mencius -" Seeing Zhu Yijun wave his hand, he hurriedly said loudly: "This is my minister.
Words from the bottom of my heart! If it weren’t for the divine wisdom of the Emperor, who could integrate all the laws into one and explain the way of heaven, earth, and man? As a minister, I can’t change a single word!"
Although Zhu Yijun felt secretly happy when he heard this, he did not show it on his face. He said with deep meaning: "Although the ancestors of our clan have already explained these principles, our descendants may not be inferior to our ancestors on the one hand, and the so-called Taoists on the other.
Or, it just needs to be realistic and solve the problem.”
"The truth that cannot solve the problem is not the truth. And vice versa."
Liang Menglong laughed when he heard this and said: "The emperor said, 'Practice is the only criterion for testing truth'? This is Li Zhuowu's famous saying, and it is now the standard of the Taizhou School."
Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "You continue to talk about the 'universal issue'."
Liang Menglong hurriedly took back the topic and said: "Yes, I have observed that in the past two years, the imperial court has dispatched troops stationed in various places and below, to train in martial arts, and then disrupted the arrangement - it was intended to be a check and balance. However, the generals in various places have not been stationary for many years.
, the person may adopt an adopted son, acquire a close confidant, or run an industry - if this root cannot be removed, this malady will never be eliminated. Please take a clear look at it, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun asked: "Qianji has been in Jiliao for a long time. From your perspective, if the general generals of the country's generals are transferred, will there be a disadvantage that 'the generals do not know the soldiers'?"
Liang Menglong has been studying this issue for many years. Hearing this, he said: "In the past few years, we have conquered Yao many times, and invaded Burma, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. The generals should not be dismissed lightly. But the emperor's holy mo is far-reaching. At the beginning, When the martial arts was established, the standards of all armies were unified. I believe that although not all the soldiers in the world have been trained, it is time for mutual adjustment."
Zhu Yijun listened and nodded: "I understand. Ganji has both talent and overall perspective - this is very rare. After I return to Beijing from my hunting tour, I'm afraid I will have to add more burdens to you."
Liang Menglong was overjoyed when he heard this. At his level, there are only a few positions. Every step forward requires some sacrifice and patience.
.....
After the monarch and his ministers discussed the exchange of generals, Liang Menglong resigned. However, Zhu Yijun could not rest because Zhang Siwei and other accompanying ministers had to hand over the approval opinions of the title book delivered by Beijing Express to the emperor for review and prepare it. The emperor is ready to consult at any time.
When Zhang Siwei also resigned, Zhu Yijun still couldn't rest. The concubines he brought out were all beautiful and fragrant. The concubine Shun who served the emperor tonight was lively and active, with a fit body. She was obedient to Zhu Yijun's requirements and was able to innovate and innovate. ——A person who is willing to delve into business.
Zhu Yijun once told the people in the harem that there are only two qualities in this world that can make people successful: one is diligence; the other is seriousness, and the rest are auxiliary.
Concubine Shun was diligent and conscientious, so Zhu Yijun certainly had to give her adequate rewards: among the four people he brought out, Concubine Shun had the highest status. In addition to fasting and bathing these days, Zhu Yijun's night shift was also very hard.
...
On March 25th, the Holy Master left Jizhen and moved to the west. On the 26th, he moved to Shangjiantai, Xi County. On the 27th, he moved to the east of Kuancheng.
...
After walking and walking like this for three days, Shengjia could already see the grassland. Cisheng had lived in the capital and the Forbidden City for half his life. He had never seen such a secret place and beautiful scenery. The smile on his excited face could not be removed, and she hurriedly called the emperor to her. On the carriage.
In his previous life, Zhu Yijun had already visited every province in China and the major scenic spots nearby, so he had no interest in entering the grassland. However, in order to cater to the Empress Dowager Li, he still went to the Empress Dowager Li's carriage.
The shape of Empress Dowager Li's carriage was second only to that of the emperor, and the interior of the carriage was very spacious. In the carriage, Empress Dowager Li discussed King Lu's marriage choice and sought Zhu Yijun's opinion.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "The choice of the queen must be good, and the son has no objection to anything." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li showed a bitter smile on her face and said: "How have you ever listened to me?"
Zhu Yijun had no choice but to ask Empress Dowager Li who had fallen in love with her. The Empress Dowager took out a few paintings for the emperor to look at. While comparing the family traditions, Zhu Yijun murmured: "Zhu Yijun is envious of you, the emperor's brother, and he insists on finding a girl from the south of the Yangtze River." Being the first wife—it’s hard to find someone like this.”
Zhu Yijun frowned and said nothing. When Queen Mother Li saw that he didn't answer, she was heartbroken. But remembering her youngest son's pleading, she still said: "Can you organize a draft in Jiangnan and let Prince Lu go to Nanjing to pick a pick?"
Zhu Yijun remained silent after hearing this. Empress Dowager Li felt a little annoyed. Just when she was about to say something else, she heard an ouch from the groom sitting on the shaft of the carriage. Then the carriage swayed and the right wheel fell into the middle of the muddy road.
Zhu Yijun hurriedly put his head out to take a look, then turned back and said: "Mother, the wheel is stuck, my son went down to help push it." Queen Mother Li was about to say if this is still of use to you, when she saw the emperor asking the internal official who was in charge of daily records.
With a wink, he immediately understood that the emperor was pretending to be pretentious again, and thought to himself: "What kind of filial piety is pushing a cart? If you are really filial, how could you not start a fight just now?"
