Chapter 152: An Alliance with the Honors

Zhu Qizhen said: "The state canonizes meritorious heroes, although there are also rewards and punishments, and the intention of inspiring people's hearts, but they also want to start well with meritorious heroes, and the country's honors and nobles are the country's barriers." ”

"The first emperor can go without worry. It's just that there is a British public. ”

"But in the first year of orthodoxy, the Northwest Military Affairs asked Wang Ji to supervise the division, is it because there are no generals in the imperial court?"

Zhu Qizhen had this idea back then, but now he doesn't have it. The lack of generals leading the army in the imperial court is certainly the reason, but the vigilance of the empress dowager against military power is also an important reason.

Chen Qiao mutinied, the imperial robe was added, and Yin Jian was in front.

How could the Empress Dowager not take precautions.

Jingshi really has a prestige general, and he is an immovable. This gives a civilian officer the opportunity to lead a large army.

Zhu Qizhen said: "When Taizong was here, was there such a strangeness between my royal family and the nobles? Speaking of which, even if I am not the emperor, you and I are the best of the same family. It's just that this friendship, how many points can you have in the next generation? ”

How did Zhang Fu's father, Zhang Yu, die?

In the Battle of Jingnan Dongchang, Emperor Taizong fell into battle and disappeared in the army. Zhang Yu was trapped in search of Emperor Taizong, but the first search was not found, and after returning to the formation, he found that Emperor Taizong did not come back, so he fell into the battle again to find it.

As a result, Zhang Yu's side fell into the southern army, and Emperor Taizong returned.

But Zhang Yu didn't know.

Zhang Yu was surrounded by the southern army and died in battle with the attitude of not finding Emperor Taizong and not returning to his own position.

Therefore, Emperor Taizong has always regarded Zhang Fu as a nephew.

However, although Renzong Xuanzong also valued Zhang Fu, he did not value it as much as Emperor Taizong. The relationship is not that intimate.

When he arrived at Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen's feeling for Zhang Fu was more of a minister in the outer court and a bigwig in the army. As for private feelings, there are not many left.

"I want the British Princesses to be the pillars of the country for generations, and the royal family and the British family have been close for generations. Therefore, I thought that in the future, the sutra feast would be good, but I should also follow the example of Emperor Taizu, and the nobles and the disciples of the clan should be taught in the main hall together. Naturally, what is taught is not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the art of war and tactics. ”

"Now I don't have a national capital, and I don't need a scholar to lead the main church, but can the British public take care of me?"

Zhang Fu immediately understood that his guess was right.

At the same time, he also felt a great opportunity.

If the British family can occupy a place in the main hall for generations, there will be friendship with each generation of emperors. Why worry about the decline of the family.

Zhang Fu immediately said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." This matter is called to be handed over to the minister, and the minister will definitely handle it properly. ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said secretly: "This matter has finally been decided." Of course, Zhang Fu was above the court, and his high-spirited appearance let Zhu Qizhen know that although Xungui had been suppressed by the civil official group over the years.

But this is not to say that the Xungui group has no power at all.

Not to mention anything else, after the Tumubao Incident, Xungui still has the ability to launch a rebellion in Beijing City. It can be seen that the potential strength of Xungui Group is huge.

Zhang Fu, as the leader of the Xungui Group, since he nodded, even if the civil officials did not agree, Zhang Fu had a way to let this matter pass.

Zhu Qizhen sent Zhang Fu away, and then paced back and forth in the Wuying Palace. Think carefully about talking to Zhang Fu today.

The general strategic policy against the tile spurs, that is, the decisive battle with the Great Wall.

Zhu Qizhen still has some doubts in his heart about this idea.

However, the construction of martial arts and the Great Hall system allowed Zhu Qizhen to see a glimmer of military reform.

The Ming officer system, the top is the third-level noble, and the following is the hereditary commander, the hereditary commander is the same knowledge, and has always been hereditary hundreds of households.

This huge group controlled the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Zhu Qizhen knew that the foundation of this huge group, that is, starting from the most ordinary military households, already had a rotten atmosphere.

But it's also very difficult to get a foot in this area.

If you don't get anything right, the world will be in chaos.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not fools.

There is obviously a reason why they would rather start from scratch and establish a private army of generals like Qi Jiajun than touch such a large interest group.

But if he doesn't move on to this aspect, Zhu Qizhen will only be unprepared forever if he wants to defeat the tile spur.

Therefore, in dealing with this matter, it is a great test of Zhu Qizhen's skills.

Meddling in the military education system. It was Zhu Qizhen who deduced it many times.

"Who is my enemy and who is my friend?" Zhu Qizhen muttered this sentence repeatedly.

That's why he did it.

First of all, for the upper-class nobles, such as the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong, although they may have interests in the loss of land in the guard.

But for them, this is not the main benefit.

For the nobles who stand at the top of the Ming food chain, as long as the military is strong, it is their greatest interest.

You must know that in the Hongwu Yongle Dynasty, the governor had to salute when he saw the chief military officer, especially the chief military officer in various places had lords and ministers, and these political envoys were almost equal to military Chinese officials.

But what does it look like now?

The civil officials have already vaguely suppressed the nobles.

They may not be able to see the situation that in the future, the Ming Wu will beg for the lackeys of the door in front of the Qipin civil officials. However, the civilian power is increasingly encroaching on the power of the nobles.

This is a very real problem.

In the hearts of many nobles, they felt that why there was such a situation, naturally it would not be blamed on their own inability to fight, but on Emperor Renzong's side.

The ministers of Emperor Renzong's palace are all civil ministers.

It is also these ministers who have held the power of the court for more than ten years. Pressed them down little by little.

Therefore, it is the Holy Grace who really determines their status.

Zhu Qizhen also felt a little bit of what it was like to be an emperor.

The emperor has to hold a balance. That is, no matter who is in power in the court, but in what direction the emperor is biased, that direction can suppress the other party.

During the reign of the Empress Dowager, it seemed that nothing had been done, but this balance has been maintained.

Although the civil officials have the upper hand on the surface, as long as the empress dowager is slightly biased, Zhang Fu can move the situation over.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen concluded that the desire of these top nobles for the holy family must be heavier than the desire for money.

Of course, they want money too.

But Zhu Qizhen controls the power of the state and finds a way to give Xungui some grace, which is naturally possible. As long as the upper nobles are appeased, the people below will be much easier.

After all, these people are all these noble old subordinates. Strict raids can certainly alleviate the decline of combat effectiveness in the army, but Zhu Qizhen does not feel that the decline of the Great Ming Guard can be reversed by a mere martial arts.

This is just the beginning.

What Zhu Qizhen has to do is to go back to a lot, he wants to reopen martial arts, all the martial artists are included in the martial arts, and the top three enter the main hall to study.

In this way, the introduction of a group of officers who have nothing to do with the innocence of the guard.

Then find a way to abolish the hereditary system of officers. Some health centers in the interior have even been converted into counties.

Wait a minute.

Zhu Qizhen is full of articles, and now he has only made the first pen.

"You can't rush, you can't rush, you can't rush." Zhu Qizhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said secretly: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry." The more urgent, the more accidents happen. ”

However, the first thing Zhu Qizhen has to do is to establish his position for several years to come, that is, to stand with Xungui. It is not to use him against civilian officials, but to use them to resist the possible resistance of the officers of the guards at all levels below.

Zhang Fu's movements were fast.

When he returned, he brought up the matter in the cabinet the next day. When Yang Shiqi heard this, he immediately felt the deep meaning and said, "British Duke, you say this is what Your Majesty meant?" ”

Zhang Fu didn't dare to take it big in front of Yang Shiqi, and said: "Naturally, I just have the courage to fake the holy decree." Zhang Mou is not talented, and has already asked His Majesty to take charge of the main hall, and also asked the cabinet to quickly draft the decree. ”

Yang Rong said: "British Princess, this matter is very important, how can you hear the words of one side, or ask for the decree before the conclusion can be reached." Please wait a moment. ”
