Chapter 64 It is our duty to restore the honor of our honorable ministers (please read more
In the next three days, the emperor really went to court more often to meet with ministers and to alienate villains.
The newly appointed Chief of Ceremony, Zhang Jin, is well-behaved and low-key, and does not interfere at all.
Zhang Zuo, who had been taught a lesson, began to pay close attention to Empress Dowager Zhang. Will she have any reaction to the fact that the emperor has decided to give the princess a posthumous title after Zun Xingxian?
The court meeting also calmed down, and the emperor was no longer aggressive.
The morning jogging in the middle of the morning meeting no longer happened: I heard that I still ran every day, but changed it to before the morning meeting.
Even though there have been thunderstorms these past few days, the rain has not stopped yet.
You can't say this is just a quirk of his to keep fit.
However, it is strange to think that there is a running emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the palace.
Therefore, Yang Tinghe sincerely advised him at the court meeting: Don't run when it rains. What should you do if you fall or catch the cold?
The emperor followed his kindness and said: If the rain is too heavy, it will naturally stop. The current rain has been sustained in Anlu before.
My body bones are not that brittle.
At the court meeting, the emperor just calmly asked everyone for their opinions on various matters, and then emphasized that he should first formulate a detailed strategy and submit it to the ministers, and then discuss it with the ministers to make a decision.
It seems that as long as the issue of non-heirs is over and there is a new trend of discussing matters in the court, the emperor will be satisfied.
The rest is really a peaceful situation where the young emperor relies on his auxiliary ministers.
Yang Tinghe burst into tears.
Of course, there are some new changes in the situation: Many things require the person or department to submit a report to come up with a plan, and the cabinet's room for voting seems to be much smaller. If it were not for those plans that involve multiple departments and are controversial, the cabinet would seem to
I can only make a few additions.
But would a figure like Wang Qiong leave room for the cabinet to make additional suggestions on the civil affairs affairs under his jurisdiction?
As for the opposition of cabinet ministers, that is another matter.
Under the tone of Zhu Houcong's stated attitude that he should "examine the talents and character of all officials", people like Wang Qiong are trying their best to show their talents and loyalty. Other middle and high-level bureaucrats also do not want to be seen by the emperor as "incompetent and incompetent".
The "virtue" side.
The efficiency Zhu Houcong wanted existed for the time being, but it was only superficial.
The solution for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, who has no family assets, has not yet been decided.
The plan to reset the three major battalions, Zhu Houcong's concern about how to relocate the dismantled officers and soldiers, the military ministers' concern about the size of the new three major battalions, the issue of official establishment, and the civil servants' concern about the military power system have not yet been decided.
Because those scumbags in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion still can't present their own strategy! Should we just let the civil servants and the Ministry of War arrange it alone?
I am really worried!
"Mr. Xu, Commander Xu!" Guo Xun looked anxious in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, "You are the Left Commander of the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion! Your Majesty has decided to reset the three major battalions. You must take the lead in presenting the selection and training strategy.
Come up with a strategy for selecting military commanders in each battalion! Our Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion doesn’t have a strategy, but the Ministry of War has to make the decision!”
"...You are the Governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. You have sacrificed heaven and earth on your behalf. You can also come up with strategies." Xu Guangzuo was worried and looked at Zhu Fu, who was older than him next to him. "Cheng Guogong, you
What do you think?"
Zhu Fu looked over one by one. In addition to Xu Guangzuo and Guo Xun, there were also British Duke Zhang Lun, Taining Marquis Chen Ru, Song Liangchen, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xining, who came to replace his father, and Qiu Luan, the grandson of the Marquis of Xianning who came to replace his seriously ill grandfather.
…
It can be said that it is a big gathering of honorable ministers in Beijing, and they have chosen to be in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. No one knows what is going on, so they are not afraid now.
But Zhu Fu felt that everyone was very afraid, including himself.
He let out a long sigh: "How can the strategy we come up with compare to that of the Ministry of War? Don't you know what kind of masters and stewards you have? If you leave the three battalions to us, you can't practice them.
Can you train the elite soldiers your Majesty wants?"
It is indeed tempting to reset the three major battalions, but who are these hereditary generals now?
Who were those princes and princes in the early period of Yongle and Xuande orthodoxy?
Zhang Lun, the grandson of the illustrious British Duke Zhang Fu who conquered Cochin, lowered his head in shame: You don't have the ability, do you know?
Seeing this situation, Guo Xun, who was determined to seize the opportunity, became anxious: "Historically, the capital camp has been in charge of the honorable ministers, guarding the emperor and suppressing all the borders. Now that your majesty wants the Beijing camp to be a real elite army, are we, the honorable ministers and generals, going to let your majesty
Are you disappointed? His Majesty must have hoped that we would not be so cowardly!"
He was just here to ask these senior ministers to speak for him. Qiu Luan, who would successfully inherit the title in the future, tried to speak: "Elders... how about... go to Gongsheng and invite two people to catch swords? The imperial examination is coming soon.
If the strategy they help us draw up according to our wishes is favored by His Majesty, it should be a good thing, right?"
Civil servants who were interested in making contributions to this matter gathered around the Ministry of War and cabinet ministers to make suggestions and suggestions. It cannot be said that there is no one available in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, it can only be said that it is basically useless.
Guo Xun's eyes lit up, and he raised his thumbs up when he looked at the sixteen-year-old Qiu Luan: "Little Qiu'er, this is a good idea! Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhu, we can't be afraid of the wolf in front of us and the tiger in the back. We don't understand how to dance with words.
, but we always have an idea of which venerable generals should be used in the new three battalions, right? We have a secret treasury, we have the money to confiscate the house this time, and we have enough money to pay, but we are afraid that we will not be able to select good soldiers or train them.
Elite soldiers coming?"
He also knew that most of these hereditary ministers were useless now, and he did not expect that Qiu Luan's idea was actually difficult, but Guo Xun, who was thirty-six years old, really wanted to seize this opportunity.
Zhu Fu is already old, Xu Guangzuo is also old, Xu Pengju is too young, and most of the other princes have lost their enterprising spirit.
At first, I thought that His Majesty's proposal to reset the three major battalions was to continue to elevate the status of the military ministers to compete with the civil servants, but later everyone understood: Your Majesty was serious about it.
Then I can't afford to play, because I'm afraid of being incompetent.
What if we fail to train elite soldiers, civil servants focus on impeachment, and the emperor is angry that they are useless and seize the world certificate?
No fault is nothing but merit, and these honorable ministers know best.
Guo Xun yelled for a while, only to get a lot of flinching. He looked up to the sky and sighed: How can I help His Majesty control the military with these insects?
Eunuchs have more eggs than many people!
"Don't talk about leading a battalion, is it possible to serve as a battalion officer? What about the commander-in-chief?" Guo Xun said earnestly, "Those of your nephews and nephews in the family who have not yet been promoted to the title of nobility, and those who are not qualified to be the title of nobility, give it a try! It is rare for His Majesty to be brave and brave, and insist on becoming a civil servant.
We have decided to reset the three major camps. If we can’t count on it this time, it will be really hard to predict in the future!”
He always means the same thing: you, the honorable ministers who are getting fatter and fatter, must consider whether this is the only opportunity in this life or even for future generations! It is our duty to rebuild the glory of our honorable ministers!
"We can't help His Majesty train the three major battalions. There is always someone who can do it! Those who have been in charge of the capital camp for generations can only be ministers, not generals! If we can't do this job, can we still keep our world certificate?
"How many years have civil servants been petitioned to be demoted and reduced in rank?" Guo Xun had a headache. "Take out more of the wine and rice bags that have been stuffed in. There are capable small flags, general flags, hundreds of officials or even thousands of households in the border army."
Officials, can you recommend anyone who is reliable and useful? There must be a few among the disciples of each family, right?"
Guo Xun said this sincerely, and simply asked Qiu Luan: "Master Qiu Xiaohou! Duke Tingwei is seriously ill, and your father is also seriously ill. In the future, the Marquis of Xianning will definitely be yours! Are you willing to work hard for His Majesty?
Have a good practice in the three camps?"
Sixteen-year-old Qiu Luan suddenly said passionately: "I will never lose my grandfather's reputation!"
"Good! Be ambitious!" Guo Xun shouted, "The new honors granted by Duke Tingwei, the family tradition of military ministers is still there. We, the family of world-renowned ministers, really can't have anyone who has the ability to contribute, or the money to contribute.
Really? I, Guo Xun, have left my words here today. Even if we give some money first, these three battalions must help His Majesty train them first! If we don’t contribute now, don’t even think about sending people in to pick peaches in the future!”
