Chapter 317 Passing on the Torch Endlessly
A few days later, the Needlework Bureau rushed out the military uniforms of Emperor Xuanqing and Zhu Zaiyou, and when the father and son stood in front of the mirror, as if something had been continued and inherited, the father and son stared at the end and smiled together. Next, the Needle Work Bureau made every effort to make military uniforms for dozens of people specially selected by the Praetorian Guard Division. By the time the last scene of "Superstar" began, dozens of sons and daughters of the Praetorian Guard Division finally changed into new military uniforms.
The Praetorian Guards Department selected people, most of them were selected from the noble clan, and their appearance and height were above the standard line, and they were all tall and handsome, and then put on a tailor-made military uniform, and as soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention: "Hey, this appearance is enough to be spiritual." ”
"Your Majesty called us here today for this matter?" The cabinet and the Ministry of War all know that Emperor Xuanqing has been holding back a big move recently, but I didn't expect it to be this, this is a bit of a trick, although it is a trick, but it is not a big move. There are thousands of people in total, and one person has sixteen sets of clothes for four seasons, and they don't deserve a few dollars when they are all changed, and the Praetorian Guard is supplied by the inner treasury, and is not issued by the household department.
In other words, the Praetorian Guard has always been supported by the royal family itself, and even more broadly, not only the royal family, but also most of the clans have provided for their own families. Since Sejong's generation, he has consciously reduced the burden on the people of Daming by supporting the imperial family, and now the royal family takes every year, just like officials of the same rank, and even some of the children of the clan do not take a penny.
Therefore, the cabinet and the Ministry of War are a little puzzled, what is this doing?
"The princes think, should all my Ming officers and soldiers have such a spirit. ”
Tobe: Oh, we're waiting for us here.
Cabinet: My Ming officials have always been such a group of people who love to do things.
Bingbu: We strongly support it.
"Your Majesty, the clothes of the four seasons are only one set for one season, and that is also a huge expense, and now Your Majesty should know the situation of the household. It's not that I can't take it out, but now that the drought and flood are unpredictable, it is still the first thing to protect the peace of our people. A portion of the money allocated to the armies can be appropriately added, but if we really want the officers and soldiers of our dynasty to change their clothes together, this ministry and commission really can't come up with it. "There is no way to do it, now he has a headache as soon as he opens his eyes, and as soon as he enters the yamen, he will face the demand for silver from various yamen and places like snowflakes. Where to give or not, how much to give, it is not easy to do a good job in the knowledge here, and it is really difficult for the Ministry of Household Books to do a good job.
The cabinet naturally knows the difficulties of the household department, but looking at the Praetorian Guard, the cabinet also has cabinet considerations. Although Zhu Zaiyou's plan to spread the Ming culture like a fire to every corner of the world, the cabinet has not yet expressed its position, but it is just because it is not comprehensive enough and not thoughtful enough. Once it is comprehensive enough, and after enough deliberation, the Cabinet will certainly adopt this statement and put it into practice.
So, the Cabinet now has to think again.
The military department Shangshu: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to replace some of them first, so as to reduce the pressure on the household department." ”
Hubu Shangshu: "How nice it is, then you say, who to change and who not to change, how to explain to the soldiers who do not change? If it is not handled well, it is equivalent to dividing the robes, if you don't change it, you won't change it at all, and if you want to change it, you will change it all, and this matter is not negotiable." ”
Emperor Xuanqing is also thinking about this issue these days, even if the cost is lowered and lowered, at least a dozen taels will be spent on each person.
"Your Majesty, you can change the summer military uniform first, and the winter one will still be extended, and then the other three seasons will be replaced in a few years. With good arrangements, a complete replacement of military uniforms within 10 years should not be a problem. "In the end, the cabinet still made a sound suggestion, otherwise what would it be, let the military department secretary and the household department secretary tear apart in front of everyone.
"Yes. ”
After talking about the military uniform, you can talk about the matter of sowing fire, the cabinet invited Emperor Xuanqing and Zhu Zaiyou to go, and invited the Hanlin Academy to discuss this matter in detail, revise it little by little, improve it little by little, and finally formed a national policy that has a front and a back, and is approaching step by step. After the cabinet ministers dispersed, Yang Tingli looked at Zhu Zaiyou and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this plan is settled?"
"Auntie, didn't Yang Gong already guess it. ”
Two years earlier, Miss Amon had spoken something similar, but at the time, it was not as clear as it is now. Your Highness, this is not a plan of ten or twenty years, but a plan of hundreds of years, therefore, I hope that Your Highness will never forget this plan. Yang Tingli said, let go, and give a salute.
Zhu Zaiyou returned with a salute and replied solemnly: "Remember Yang Gongyu, never forget." ”
Yang Tingli looked at Emperor Xuanqing again, but saw Emperor Xuanqing looking at Zhu Zaiyou with pride, and made up his mind: I, the Ming royal family, really do not have the tradition of father and son suspicion, this is a good thing. Only by not doubting each other can we let go of our fists, only by not doubting each other can we support with trust, and only by not doubting each other can we pass on the torch endlessly.
The last scene of "Superstar" ended when Taizu returned to the earth, entered the palace of the Ming Dynasty, looked back at the old days, and told everyone that he was very good in this future world, and you did a good job. The last scene is that Taizu sailed into the universe, the depths of the starry sky that made him emperor in another way, as if it was the intersection of the past and the future, and as if there really was such a world, so that Taizu lived as if he was on vacation.
In addition to being reassuring, there is also a little melancholy - our Taizu finally has a place to return, he is no longer lonely, he has a partner, he has a lover who will eventually become a family, he is happy, and he loves everything in the past and the present.
However, we will never see each other again.
This is an ending that makes people think deeply with a smile, whether they should do something for such a future where people can live with peace of mind, so that such a future can come one day.
When the people of the Ming Dynasty were pondering, the envoys were also pondering - what have we done to do this to us.
The envoy group just finished watching the last game of "Superstar", and the prince of Daming, who had not appeared for several days, appeared again, and the envoy group was a little silly and sweet at first, because they were going to Qian County tomorrow, and they thought that the prince of Daming was specially scheduled to set up a banquet for them to practice. Outcome...... No, the prince of the Ming Dynasty took a large group of energetic officers and soldiers, and lined up neatly to take them to visit the firearms bureau that they had been longing to visit.
As a result, the firearm didn't see half of the eyebrows, and only looked at the whole column of Ming officials and soldiers who walked neatly, ordered and forbidden, and were majestic and tall, and could deter people with their eyes alone.
The envoys felt hopeless: if the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty were like this, what kind of official tone and tricks did we play, and they would be directly attached to the subject country.
Although the envoys knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was fighting this idea, that is, hoping that the soldiers would make them willing to vote for their subjects without blood, the envoys were still deeply frightened - such a Ming made people feel that they could be invincible and invincible, and anyone who stood in their way would become mud on the soles of their shoes.
Mission: We refuse to look at this, thank you!
