In the third year of Zhengxing, Chu Qing stayed in the academy for seven days, eating and drinking every day, and being happy every day.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, Chu Qing shoveled off the head of the largest snowman in the academy that he had built with his own hands, and then entered the capital. He rode a horse, curled his neck, and smiled. But for some reason, many people felt that Chu Qing and his friends behind him
, murderous.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, just after the court broke up at noon, the Chamber of Commerce was demolished.
The saboteur Wang Tianyu led a group of pirate boys, who rushed in and smashed it like bandits. Finally, they shouted slogans and used more than 20 prairie war horses to pull down the three-story building of the chamber of commerce.
After Wang Tianyu and Lu Zhu established their relationship, they became more prudent and careful in their work. They threw twenty gunpowder arrows into the ruins. After they were ignited, there was not a complete wooden board over twenty centimeters in the ruins.
Without saying anything, following the procedures, Wang Tianyu and Ma Rui returned to Jingzhao Mansion shoulder to shoulder and voluntarily surrendered.
Ma Rui asked, Brother Wang Xian, what crime have you committed?
Brother Wang Xian said, Brother Ma, I drank wine and accidentally opened it to the Chamber of Commerce.
Then Bai Jie and Mr. Fu appeared. They were very angry and pointed at Wang Tianyu and cursed. The three-story building of the Chamber of Commerce cost them five hundred yuan to build.
Wang Tianyu borrowed a lot of money from Bai Jie, then compensated Bai Jie, and asked Bai Jie to give him 500 yuan as payment for his hard work.
The Chamber of Commerce has become history. To be precise, the Chamber of Commerce’s small building has become history.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial court issued a decree to formally establish the Craftsman Academy as a semi-official institution. The first president was Cuiyu, a great scholar of the Mohist family.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, the craftsmanship institute that had not yet started construction was scheduled to be located in the west of the city. Qianqiying Tanma released the news that the Mohist disciples would play some tricks. Tens of thousands of people gathered together, gunpowder crossbows, flying wings, semi-finished artillery, and fierce fire.
The oil poured into the open space, and the open space was filled with scarecrows. The scarecrows had their "identities" marked on them, such as anti-thief, non-subordinate barbarian, Japanese thief, cool thief, etc.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of scarecrows were wiped out, and the people were all shocked. This was Chu Qing's New Year's gift to Cuttlefish, the first appearance of the Mohist family.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qianqiying Tanma left Beijing and went to Sandao Peak, where he invited representatives of the Taoist sect to build a Sandao temple outside Beijing, directly opposite a temple.
Next, a large number of Qianqi battalion scouts went to various state capitals, taking Guan Zhenglang from the six government offices to inspect whether the government was well-organized and people-friendly, especially whether the latest decrees were implemented by local officials.
With Chu Qing's return, Jingzhong is still the same Jingzhong, but there seems to be some kind of storm brewing under the calm surface.
In the palace, Chu Qing and the newly crown prince Chang Yu were walking side by side in the palace, followed by his third brother.
"The Ministry of War cannot succeed without a minister."
Chu Qing smiled and said: "But I never expected that Lao Qin would ask me to be the minister. Isn't this a joke?"
Chang Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle Wang, please don't worry. General Qin has never mentioned this matter. Today in the court..."
"I know that if Lao Qin had told you in advance, you wouldn't have known me."
Chu Qing felt happy when she mentioned this.
When the superiors were in good spirits, Qin Gang suddenly brought up the matter of the Minister of War being vacant.
Everyone was puzzled and mistakenly thought that Qin Gang wanted to be the Minister of War.
From a nominal point of view, the rights of General Zhuguo are definitely not as good as those of Shangshu, but the position of General Zhuguo is unique and unique.
There are six ministers, but there is only one prime minister, eight generals Yunhui, and only one general among the states.
To put it bluntly, in terms of the general system, the Zhuguo generals are similar to the chief ministers of the Ministry of War.
Qin Gang's qualifications and military achievements are all on display. If he really wants to be the Minister of War, he can't say that he has no faults at all. He can only say that he has no faults at all.
In fact, regarding the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, everyone thinks that the most suitable person is Lao Chu.
Originally Dahuang decided to let Lao Chu go to the border to guard against Liang Rong.
In the end, Lao Chu might have thought that the ink stains might be a problem, so don’t take precautions and just kill them all.
Under such circumstances, it would be meaningless for Lao Chu to go to the North Border Pass again. On the contrary, it would be just right for the old and strong British man Feng Luo to go back and take charge of the border pass again.
Since he is not a border commander, he should be a minister of the Ministry of War. Even civil servants think so.
Everyone hates Chu Qing, and also hates Old Chu, but they have to admit that Old Chu is really good at fighting, so he just acts as the minister of the Ministry of War, and when he waits for someone to make a fuss, he just lets Old Chu pass and that's it.
Unexpectedly, what dumbfounded the prince and the officials was that Qin Gang did not say that he was worthy, nor did he recommend Lao Chu, but instead recommended Xiao Chu.
The officials were in an uproar, and Chu Qing was also stunned.
When everyone was confused, my uncle jumped out and seconded his opinion.
When the friends saw their uncle jumping out, they all stood up and seconded the proposal.
Fortunately, Chu Qing left work in time and said he couldn't do it, otherwise this matter might have happened.
The eldest brother-in-law thought that Qin Gang had discussed it with Chu Qing, and the friends thought that Chu Qing had discussed it with the eldest uncle-in-law, and they were almost tricked by Tao Shaozhang again.
What made Chu Qing dumbfounded was not Qin Gang, but the reaction of the ministers.
There is no need for the generals of the Ministry of War to say what Qin Gang said.
Mainly the civil servants were shocked. However, they had a pensive expression on their faces. They seemed to be really thinking about the feasibility of this matter. They did not immediately jump out to object, nor did they dare to speak due to Chu Qing's power.
Just really thinking.
There are no ministers under thirty years old in the country, let alone ministers. The youngest ministers and lieutenants are all in their early forties.
But isn't it true that there has never been a precedent in the country for a person under thirty years old to beat up aristocratic families and courtiers who screamed? Chu Qing did set a lot of precedents.
Improving military pay was originally initiated by Chu Qing. These were actually reforms and they were very successful. The most important thing was that Chu Qing's military exploits were there.
"I definitely can't be the Minister of War. I'm not even qualified to be a general." Chu Qing laughed at himself: "Actually, I am incompetent even as the commander-in-chief of the Thousand Cavalry Camp. If I open my mouth, Commander Jiang will break his leg.
A hammer and a stick, if there is any specific errand, it will restrain me."
"What Uncle Wang said is absolutely true. You should not be restricted by your official position."
Chang Yu was deeply convinced. Many of the things Chu Qing did were completely unrelated. You thought he was writing poetry. He went to the palace to repair the palace. As soon as the palace was finished, he went to relieve the victims. The victims had just got a look.
He went to engage merchants again, and the business laws were not yet perfected. He went to provoke aristocratic families, and when he was done provoking them, he led his troops to go to war.
After walking for a while, Chu Qing knelt down and rubbed Chang Yu's head: "Don't think about the matter of Minister of War, but this position cannot be left vacant. Let's choose it from General Yunhui. I do have a candidate.
Don't listen to it."
"You say."
"Lan Renshan, both civil and military."
Chang Yu had a strange look on his face: "Lanren Mountain?"
"That's right. I almost went to Beibianguan to fight with my father, and then I went to the East China Sea to quell General Lan Renshan Lan who rebelled against your uncle Wang. The news spread all over the East China Sea. The famous undefeated general in the world, the God of the Army of Dachang,
He has qualifications, but lacks military merit. However, since he is now in Yingdao, his military merit must be enough. As long as His Highness and General Zhu Guo support him, there will be no big problem."
Chang Yu looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Isn't he an undefeated general? He has never fought a battle, so who will lose?
Chu Qing smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. He will give everything for the people. There are not many such generals, but stupid ones like Lan Renshan would rather die than destroy the people to protect the people."
There are only a handful of people. The minister does not lead troops to fight, but he handles many official documents that are closely related to the army and the people. He should be able to do the job."
"Uncle Wang has never missed anything. Okay, then I will order someone to summon him back to Beijing."
"If Lan Renshan goes up, the vacant position of General Yunhui should be given to General Sheng."
"General Sheng Zhaojun Sheng?"
"Yes, after General Sheng has a few years of experience, he can take over the post of border commander."
"Nanguan or Beiguan?"
"I don't know." Chu Qing said with a smile: "After a few years, the borders of Dachang Dynasty may be more numerous and wider."
