Chapter 149: It's over

Before going back, after Leigh finished speaking, let's talk about the disadvantages.

It is good for the son to inherit the father's business in every family to continue this method, and the big family attaches great importance to this matter, especially the Jiangmen family.

The parents passed away and the children inherited, whether the father's loyalty to the monarch can also be inherited, no one can say, everyone has their own mind to calculate the pros and cons, the loyal and disloyal monarch is still looking at the interests of the thin, there is no absolute loyalty only absolute interests, this is applicable anywhere.

The fickleness of human beings is known to everyone, and betrayal in the face of absolute interests is insignificant, and the more chips of betrayal, the stronger the tempting taste, and people's ambitions gradually grow until they grow into a giant beast that eats people's hearts.

Under the premise that the loyalty of the next heir of the family cannot be guaranteed, the law of balance should be relatively adapted, and it is imperative to recover the military power.

When you no longer trust a person, the loyalty shown by your subordinates will be extremely ridiculous, and you will unnaturally feel that your subordinates' acting methods are so high that you can't even tell for a while, and your preconceived judgments will mislead you to your conclusions about your subordinates.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, misleading is nothing, and accidental killing is not guilty, there is a saying that it is precisely this principle, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, and the suspicion of a subordinate you suspect will only increase day by day, and it will not be eliminated because it does what is required.

The emperor is suspicious, rather than waiting for his subordinates to betray at some point, it is better to break and then take back the authority of the person he suspects into his own hands, only the unshakable power in his hands is the safest, or to support his trusted people to replace them, which is a solution.

The importance of military power has always been the most clear to the emperor, holding the military power can protect the body and the country from foreign invasion, good generals and good soldiers are the core of the entire army, if it is a plate of loose sand and does not take it is no longer important, at that time the country is not yet known.

Straight to the point. Mu Haoyu himself realized that the generals would turn into mud if they were left alone, and the inability to succeed was the top priority, and the four gates of the border must always be guarded. Capable generals now seem indispensable and must be taken seriously.

According to the meaning, a radish and a pit have to occupy the total is better than empty. The premise is that you have the ability to do things, otherwise, you can occupy the place and not, make room as soon as possible, and make way for the latecomers.

There is competition to have motivation to reason as the saying goes, Mu Haoyu is convinced that the capable person wins and eats in vain and does not work is a moth, and he finds one less one.

"The minister thinks that the matter of martial arts needs to be considered in the long run, and it is not appropriate to be in a hurry." There is a minister playing. If you don't say no, if you say it, you don't say it.

Someone started the scene first, and the courtiers in the back had a plan and started the draft, anyway, the emperor let him express his opinion, whether it is successful or not, that is a later story.

"The minister seconded the proposal, the martial arts have been stagnant for many years, should the required norms for the martial arts continue the old system or establish a new chapter?" Most of the civil officials opened their mouths with vague prevarication, and originally, martial arts were beneficial to military generals. On the contrary, there are many constraints on civil officials, who are willing to contribute to the opposing side, and turn around and be angry with themselves. That's not like it's nothing to smoke.

"To follow the old system, you need to look through the old record files, and I don't know if it is perfect." He said to the muddy official, "Establish new rules, if there is no standard, if it is not suitable to play a counterproductive role, it will not be lost." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." There are also courtiers who echo and act as echo worms, and the matter is already hanging high, and the military attache does not speak, and these civil officials are making a lot of fun, and they are full of blame.

"The age limit for participating in martial arts, whether a written test is required. Who will invigilate the test, and what is the basis for the scoring criteria. All need to be taken into account, and the details are quite complicated. The emperor was in a hurry. "Some officials listed the matters needed for martial arts one by one, so as to tell the emperor that they didn't want to do it, and they really didn't know where to start.

"The minister seconded the proposal." The number of officials who echoed it gradually increased, but the military attache never spoke.

Mu Haoyu swept his cold eyes, and the courtiers below seemed to have used the procrastination trick, and deliberately moved the martial arts as far back as possible, how long could it be delayed, and maybe they wouldn't mention it after a long time, what a good stupid method, it seems clumsy but it has been tried and tested.

"I want a charter, not a vague word." A group of bastards who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin and think about themselves.

The heads of the courtiers hung lower, and the emperor was not satisfied, but they were not military generals who knew anything.

Why didn't the emperor ask the military attache how he was thinking, just looking at what they were doing, and it wasn't really a military attache who couldn't open his mouth, and the civil officials didn't have the courage to do so when they were powerful, and they really held up a word hall, if so, the first thing the emperor wanted to destroy was definitely the civil officials.

Humanity is the cunning of civil officials, the ignorance of military attachés, the belly of civilian officials is crooked, there is no caution, and military attachés will recognize what is absolutely unchanged. That was before, and now, the military attache also has his own little calculations.

"What about the generals?" Mu Haoyu intended to listen to the military attache's prevarication with what kind of reason.

The military attaches looked at each other a little at the bottom, and it was particularly important who would take the lead, and they must not provoke the emperor to affect themselves.

"The minister seconded the proposal, the martial arts are not better than the imperial examinations, and the martial arts are superior, and it is difficult to determine such standards." The military attache spoke, and the words he spoke were exactly similar to the words of the civilian officials before him.

The civil officials turned their heads to look at the military attaché, what's the matter, what kind of style is smoking, and they actually give up a great opportunity, and would rather be suppressed than have a new person join, isn't it a bit abnormal?

The civil official looked at the military attache with pity in his eyes, good guy, this is something wrong with abuse, how can it not be an eye-opener.

Mu Haoyu twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, obviously expecting the military attache to disagree, and seeing with his own eyes and hearing was different.

"Zhong Aiqing has some concerns, and now we will discuss the rules and standards that should be set when the martial arts are held, and we will start as soon as possible." How could Mu Haoyu shirk the blame of the courtiers, he took a step back and didn't start martial arts, don't even think about it.

The courtiers were so surprised that they didn't exist, and the emperor mentioned that even if martial arts were difficult, they would break the Changgui and open up a new system.

The procrastination tricks of the civil and military officials are useless, and they cry silently and only hope that the emperor will not pull himself into the water, this pool can be muddy, how dare he go down to fish.

"The candidates who first came from the martial arts are talking about who is suitable to participate in the martial arts." Mu Haoyu gave a head to the courtiers.

"This ......" Wenchen Wufu had a big pair of eyes, and he was thinking about whether to answer or not, and the generals were bound to open the martial arts, and they couldn't hide.

"In the opinion of the minister, he is too young to be entrusted with important tasks. There will be certain casualties when the sword is too big and there are no eyes, so try to avoid casualties. "Since you can't hide from it, you can't let the civil officials interfere in it. The matter of martial arts should be resolved by the military generals.

"Seventeen to thirty years old, not too young and not old is just right." Another military attache spoke.

"Seventeen is a bit young. From what age can martial arts be practiced, and what effect can be achieved at this age, it is inappropriate or inappropriate. The civil official interjected, "Thirty years old is acceptable, or a little relaxation of one or two years is more reasonable, people at this age have a solid foundation in martial arts, and their personalities are stable and not frizzy." ”

"That's nineteen." The military attache added, "One year short of adulthood." It's an adult, it should be based on stability, and it's okay to be slightly inferior in martial arts, and more cultivation will definitely be of great use. ”

"So the age must be between nineteen and thirty-four." Mu Haoyu's voice fell, and the decision was made.

"Which ones can best distinguish the winners and losers from Wu Juxiao?" Mu Haoyu continued to discuss the next question.

"When the essay test and the martial arts test." This is indisputable, Guanghui martial arts have no brains, and it is really inappropriate for Leng Touqing to be in the officialdom, and it is promising to cultivate both inside and outside.

"What are the literary exams, and what kind of martial arts exams should be involved?" Mu Haoyu continued to brainstorm.

Baiguan really didn't think about the essay for a while, looked at his colleagues around him, and whispered earnestly. Since the emperor asked, there must always be an answer. It is necessary to have to work hard for these civil officials to write questions and final review.

"A Subset of the Eight Strands of Essays on the History." Some officials boldly mentioned yì.

"It's too difficult, and it's not the top score." The military attache immediately objected, and if the literary examination is difficult, a large number of people will be brushed down, and there will be a few people left in the martial arts examination.

"This ......" the civil officials looked at each other and lost their minds. If the test is difficult, the test is simple, and the talented people cannot be screened, so it is better not to take the test, and there is no way to think about it.

The military attache can't think of the content of the literary exam, many people go to look at the civil officer, you stand up and say a few words, they can distinguish the difficulty and the easy, the military attache present is mostly recommended, or born in the general, Lao Tzu retired and his son topped. I have never participated in martial arts, and I have made a mistake for a while.

"The Art of War." Mu Jinming spoke immediately. "The purpose of martial arts is to select generals who can go to the battlefield and lead soldiers." Instead of taking root in the court, it is gradually abolishing the sharp spirit and the raccoon dog of civil officials. A person who plays conspiracy to find a future.

After the mention of the three princes, the ministers are like a Daigo empowerment and suddenly enlightened, but no, the generals and generals choose the generals who lead the troops to fight, and the literary test must fit the essence of the generals.

The theory of the art of war is the most appropriate for the literary examination, there is no objection here, and it is unanimously understood, as for how to test the civilian officials, they don't know anything about it, and today's military attachés are even more at a loss.

Mu Haoyu could see that the people below were not interested in the literary test, so he put it down for the time being and then discussed, "What about the martial test?" "The items to be tested in the martial arts examination should be easy to solve.

"Alone." The word instantly popped into the military attaché's head.

"Horseback riding." There are military attachés who add, those who can't get on horses and shoot arrows want to be military generals, where to go back quickly, martial arts is not a place to play.

The civil officials were unanimously silent about this, they could not intervene in this, let alone have no right to speak, and the military test was not under the control of the civilian officials.

"It's all up to the point." Everything that could be said was said, and the military attachés looked at each other and stopped talking.

Mu Haoyu saw that he was almost done, so he said: "This is the case earlier today, and the matter of martial arts still needs to refer to the old system before making new rules." ”

The hundred officials looked at each other, and said that their mouths were dry and frightened for most of the day, and in the end it was equivalent to saying in vain, the emperor wanted to check the old system, how many people could do what he said before?

The courtiers dare not speak out, what the emperor says is what he says, and the courtiers must learn to obey the orders of the emperor and send them home if they complain.

After dispersing the courtiers and leaving the palace together, the martial arts did not know that the year of the monkey and the month of the horse could have results, and they were worried that it would be useless to worry about it.

"Is Wuju really going to reopen?" The official whispered gossip with his colleagues.

"It's not like you can't see the emperor's intentions." It's not too much to say this, but what matters is how to find a path that is beneficial to you in the future.

"Then we ......," there was a slight uneasiness in his voice.

"Take it one step at a time." There's no better way, and it's all in vain to think about anything in a mess right now.

"Alas, I don't know why the emperor suddenly had this idea." An atmosphere of uneasiness hung over him.

"Don't guess the emperor's thoughts." When the words fall, keep your mouth shut, and you need to be extra careful when you talk and do things in the palace.

In the imperial study, Mu Jinminghe sat in his place, and there were files of the old martial arts on the table.

After flipping through it roughly, Mu Jinming said depressedly: "What is written in it is very different from the previous discussion in the palace, and there is not much to refer to." What the courtiers said was nothing new at all, and it was a waste of time to talk about an early dynasty that had not gained anything.

"You don't need to adopt all the opinions of the courtiers, just follow the old system." It is very likely that the reopening of martial arts and adding new things will not be able to grasp the proportion, and Mu Haoyu has his own considerations.

"What do you think, Chao'er?" The martial arts were all raised, and Mu Haoyu intended to listen to his youngest daughter's thoughts.

"It's still the calendar, let's try it first." Whether there is anyone to come is a problem, I am worried that many people are not optimistic about martial arts, as a military general, you can directly start from the bottom of the army, go into battle to kill the enemy and accumulate military merits, although you can't avoid the danger of tying your head to the waist of your pants, the speed of promotion is more stable than other forms.

"Suitable candidates for the invigilators of the two sides of the literary and military examinations?" Mu Jinming suddenly smiled and said: "A civil official like a literary examination must not think about it, how can a civilian official understand the art of war, even if he does not offend the military attaché, he will keep his distance and not participate in it." ”

"As for the military attache supervising the literary examination." Mu Jinming shook his head directly, the smile on the corner of his lips expanded, with a bit of playfulness, "It's not to belittle the military attaché in the court, I really can't take it." ”

"He can't be regarded as a real military general, but he does things close to civilian officials in the skin of a military attaché, and he learns how to deal with the mud one by one, and he immediately retreats when he encounters serious things." Mu Jinming looked at the court and was already disappointed in the military attaché.

"They won't have an absolute interest." The interests of the current people are pursuing profits, and they can see it most clearly.

"What kind of benefit should be given, and how much should be given appropriately, in case those who are not greedy enough?" Mu Jinming thought more about where this move would end and how to plan the way forward.

Hu Er smiled and said: "In the same way, there is no absolute sense of crisis, people who have been comfortable for a long time will be like ants on a hot pot looking for a way out, trying their best to show their loyalty and ability, trying to keep the black yarn on their heads." ”

"Oh, which means we don't have to give anything, they'll do it themselves." Mu Jinming smiled happily when he understood the intention: "This method is wonderful. ”

"The military attache is selected as the main test for the reopening of the military examination, no matter who chooses, there will be no chance of messing up the matter when weighing the importance of the matter, and the military attache will definitely spare no effort to check it." Mu Jinming could imagine the situation where the military attache gritted his teeth and secretly hated while dealing with it with a smiling face.

"What about the time, which month is right?" Mu Haoyu asked with a smile.

"The weather is neither cold nor hot, autumn is the best." Mu Jinming thought about it again and again, the weather was too hot and had a slight impact on the literary test, and the martial arts test was so good that he could throw off his arms and fight happily.

"Held after the autumn season." The idea coincides with Mu Jinming, the imperial examination and the martial arts were arranged together, and there was a difference of a few days.

"It's fine." Mu Haoyu nodded in agreement, "It's not going to work this year, wait until next year." ”

"Then I'll write a charter in advance." Mu Jinming prepared the pen and paper, picked up the old file again, studied it carefully, and then picked up the pen.

The matter of Wuju was decided like this for the time being, Mu Haoyu asked about the forbidden army, and there was not much news for several days.

"There's nothing going on over there, and if there's something, there's a message." The focus has always been on the development of weapons by the Ministry of Industry, and there is no news from the forbidden army, so Hong Ming and Xu Mian should be able to deal with it.

"When will you go again, can you take me with you?" Mu Jinming, who was writing, was not idle, and his interest in hearing about the forbidden army increased greatly.

"Wait a while, after the beginning of autumn." It's easy to go out on a cool autumn day, and I estimated the training phase, and I should be able to see the results when I go.

"What about me?" Mu Jinming didn't get an answer, he looked up at his father, and he didn't want to go anywhere if his father didn't speak.

"We'll talk about it then." Mu Haoyu laughed secretly, his youngest son didn't have the heart to run out yet. (To be continued)
