Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, although Chen Sihai was moved in his heart, he was more worried.

Chen Sihai didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, for fear that His Majesty would make something out of control, so he took a step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, you still have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Although those people deserve to die, they can't be rushed, or there will be chaos. When that time comes, it's hard to clean up. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Sihai and saw that he was worried, so he said with a smile: "I won't act recklessly, don't worry." Go back and prepare, don't be overwhelmed when it's time to use you. ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not disappoint Your Majesty." Chen Sihai hurriedly agreed.

Nodding slightly, Colonel Zhu You said: "The General Staff Office will soon be established, and I will set up a Military Justice Office under the General Staff Office, and this yamen I want to hand over to you to be responsible for specifically investigating and punishing military generals, and you must grasp this matter well." ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Sihai suddenly became excited, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely not let Your Majesty down." ”

This military justice department has been conceived for a long time, and Zhu Youxiao has always wanted to set it up, but he has never had the opportunity.

This time, we took advantage of the opportunity of setting up a staff office to set up a military justice office as soon as possible to investigate the military's cases. In this way, the military and the civilian clique can be separated, and the most important thing is to prevent the military from being so controlled by the civilian clique.

In fact, many people have not understood one thing, the so-called division of civil and military affairs does not mean the separation of civilians and military generals. Rather, the affairs of the military belong to the military, and the affairs of the government belong to the government.

There can be scholars in the military, and there can be military personnel in the government, and there is no conflict between the two sides. The so-called separation of military and government is actually the separation of the two administrative systems.

Now the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty does not have this regulation, and the "Imperial Martial Arts with Literature" has completely trampled the generals into the mud.

The interests of the civilian clique are not in line with the interests of the state, they control the promotion of the military and the criminal law of the military personnel, which is not beneficial to the military personnel.

This power can be abused, and it will also make the military more subservient to the civilian clique. In such a political ecology, the civilian officials are corrupt, and the military attaches do not dare to say it, because they cannot afford it.

However, if these two rights are stripped away, then the control of the civilian clique over the military generals will be greatly weakened.

The transfer of these two powers to the General Staff, that is, to the hands of the Emperor.

The Judge Advocate General's Office, the Military Law Office, and the General Staff Office are not involved in local affairs, but they can dispatch local governments like the Cabinet to achieve dual jurisdiction.

The military was no longer under the jurisdiction of the local government, but was directly subordinate to the General Staff; The General Staff Office was only responsible to the Emperor, which can be said to have greatly strengthened the Emperor's power.

Therefore, it is imperative to set up a military justice department.

As for the person in charge, Zhu Youxiao had already selected Chen Sihai, and now he told him that he was just informing him.

Seeing that Chen Sihai agreed, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The matter has not been announced to the public, so don't go around showing off." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is not that kind of person." Chen Sihai hurriedly said.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I just said it casually, you don't have to care." ”

Chen Sihai was covered with cold sweat.

You're saying it casually, but who doesn't care?

"Okay, you can go," as he spoke, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and motioned for Chen Sihai to step back.

Chen Sihai didn't say anything more, just bowed down and said, "That minister retreats." ”

After saying this, Chen Sihai turned around and walked outside.

After Chen Sihai left, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been so long, and I finally got a clue about the government, and the messy relationship has finally been put to a reasonable point, and I don't have to make a big deal for the time being.

In the cabinet, several people restrained each other and remained stable for the time being.

The rights of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were not weakened either. Both the General Administration Department and the Judge Advocate General's Office should use brocade guards; As for the East Factory, you can give them a change of direction of work in the future.

The training of the new army is almost the same, although the number of people is not large, but it is enough for the time being.

As for money, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already made profits, and it has been preparing for the past year, and it will begin to roll out channels across the country after the year. The nobles' Zhuang Tian pays taxes, which can give them a sigh of relief for the time being.

In terms of ideology, the Royal Academy is almost ready, taking advantage of the fact that the imperial examination is just going to be rolled out this time.

There was an earthquake in Shandong and other places, and I could also take this opportunity to clean up.

The entire dynasty has basically sorted out the clues, and the rest is fine-tuning, and there is no way to make a big move for the time being.

Because I'm going to change direction, if there is any follow-up action, it is estimated that it will take some years.

What I have to do now is to wait step by step. Wait for the time to be ripe and move on to the next big move.

The inside of the palace stopped, but the outside did not.

Regarding the affairs of the General Staff Office, everyone is busy walking the door, but no one knows what kind of turn of events will take place until the list is finalized.

Time is passing day by day, and the imperial examination has finally arrived.

The students who were looking forward to this day finally ushered in the life-deciding exam.

This exam is called the general exam. The so-called test takers will have a total of one place to test science and art. Conducted by the Ministry of Rites, the examination was held in Kyoto.

The examination was held in the Gongyuan in the southeast of Beijing's inner city, and the chief examiner of the examination was 2 people. The candidates are the lifters of each province, and the admitted ones are called "Gongshi", and the first name is "Huiyuan".

The test will be held in three sessions, one on three days. The first session was held on the 9th day, the second session was held on the 12th, and the third session was held on the 15th.

The three test items, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, are the same as the township test.

It's just that unlike every test, this time there is a group of people. They were all wearing cyan caftan and looked different from the others, but the clothes were relatively neat, and they were all of the same style.

Everyone knew that these people were students of the Royal Academy.

Wherever these men went, the atmosphere became strange, and the other scholars looked at them with hostility; Even if there is no hostility, they will subconsciously hide away.

For the students of the Royal Academy, everyone knows what is going on.

In the eyes of readers, these people are all Feng Congwu's disciples, and they are all Xunzi. It is completely contrary to those of them who study Confucius and Mencius, or it is incompatible.

The two sides almost started fighting, and it can be said that the struggle was fierce. At the same time, the imperial examination is also a single-plank bridge for tens of millions of people.

This time, the examiner was Feng Congwu, the sacrificial wine of the academy, which had already made many people dissatisfied, thinking that he would be biased towards the students of the Royal Academy. Now the students of the Royal Academy are still so ostentatious, which obviously makes everyone very unhappy.

But the children of the Royal Academy don't care, everyone is doing their own thing.

At the front of the student team of the Royal Academy, Zhang Yu stood there expressionlessly, and on either side of him were the Song family brothers.

In addition, there is Lu Xiangsheng. By Lu Xiangsheng's side, it was Liu Xian, who was pulled by him to take the entrance examination to the Royal Academy.

Compared with the few people next to him, Liu Xian looked helpless, and he really didn't know what to say.

Wearing the student uniform of the Royal Academy to participate in the imperial examination, the idea was Zhang Yu's idea. Liu Xian himself disapproves of it, because in his opinion, this is arching the fire.

But who would have thought that after this opinion was put forward, these people actually responded to every call, and even Lu Xiangsheng, who has always been steady, actually joined in the fun.

Liu Xian really didn't know what to say. I was forced, and I had no choice but to go along with them.

In Zhang Yu's view, doing this this time is to announce to everyone that we are here.

It's not that these people don't have a foundation in the court, and they are not afraid of being excluded at all. From the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet to the colleagues of the Royal Academy, they will help each other in the future.

Even if you don't do this, you will be ostracized in the officialdom. So it's better to do it thoroughly and vigorously, so that the officialdom can take a good look, we people are here.

So Zhang Yu decided to do this, and the result was a response.

Glancing at these people beside him, Zhang Yu's heart was full of pride. When these people step into the officialdom, those people will all be finished, and they will roll as far as they can.

Glancing at the two people standing beside Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Xian was very helpless.

In the Royal Academy, they were a small group. In terms of literature, the better learners are Zhang Yu, Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing.

Zhang Yu is a very deep person and is good at calculation; Song Yingsheng is proficient in learning and is very upright.

As for Song Yingxing, he can be regarded as the most out-of-the-box one, he has a lot of ideas, he is interested in everything, especially good carpenter, and he always shakes his head and says, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." ”

As for Lu Xiangsheng, it can be regarded as both civil and military. Of course, the stronger one is martial arts, very capable of fighting, wielding a big knife, the invincible kind.

It's not that no one can match him, for example, the guy named Cao Wenzhao next to him is also very good at fighting, and he is proficient in archery and horse riding, especially with a spear. Cao Wenzhao has nothing to do, so he has to compete with Lu Xiangsheng.

As for the other person next to Lu Xiangsheng, his name is Wu Xiang, he is kind to people, always smiling, no matter what happens, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, like a Maitreya Buddha.

As for Liu Xian himself, he is not very prominent in this small group, as if he can order anything, but he is not good at anything. But Liu Xian knows his strengths, that is, he can look at people.

In Liu Xian's opinion, if you want to be an official, Zhang Yu is the most powerful in this small group, no one can compare to him, and if he can enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, then he is not strange at all.

As for Song Yingsheng, if he doesn't change his temper, I'm afraid he won't be too entertaining.

On the contrary, it is Wu Xiang, this person may have a future.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Xian didn't know what to say. This person is upright and hot-blooded, if he can meet the master, then he naturally has nothing to say, otherwise I am afraid the ending will not be too good.

On the contrary, it is Song Yingxing, this person is free and easy, and he has no desires and no desires, but he can die well.

But now that these people have stepped into the torrent, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future, so we can only take one step at a time to see what happens.

Liu Xian gently shook the folding fan in his hand, even if he had been calm, he was a little excited at this time. To be able to get caught up in the torrent of history is already an exciting thing.

It seems that the preparations are almost complete, and the hour has come.

The door of the Gongyuan also opened, and everyone began to walk inside in order, and the imperial examination was about to begin.

In a teahouse next to the Gongyuan Courtyard, Zhu Youxiao stood at the window on the second floor, wearing a white gown, and the whole person exuded an elegant temperament.

He held a folding fan in his hand and fanned it twice from time to time, of course, not to cool off, it was not so hot. The weather in early spring is still a little cool, and the main reason for holding a folding fan is to be handsome.

Looking at the group of people below, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say. Especially those scholars in the Royal Academy, they are neatly dressed, and they look like they are causing trouble.

Zhu Youxiao is very helpless, it seems that these guys are all thorns, and this Ming officialdom is afraid to be lively.

His eyes fell not far away, Zhu Youxiao saw a carriage, couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to Chen Hong beside him and asked, "That is Xu Guangqi's carriage, right?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is Xu Ge's carriage." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and saw a person getting out of the carriage. This person is very strange, he doesn't know him, this person is not young, how can he look like he is in his fifties, but judging from his dress, this person should have come to take the imperial examination.

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and wanted to say, you have successfully attracted my attention.

To be honest, there are people who come to the exam at this age, but there are not many of them anymore. In addition, this person came in Xu Guangqi's carriage, which is more interesting.

So Zhu Youxiao turned his head to Chen Hong and said: Do you know who that person is? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know, but the slave and maid will check it out immediately." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

"Go ahead!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and waved his hand for him to check.

However, Chen Hong didn't go for too long, because he brought Shen Tingyun with him, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he naturally wanted to be here, but he was not the main examiner, so he couldn't enter the Tribute Academy.

"Minister Shen Tingyun, see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Shen Tingyun hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "There's no need for this outside." After Shen Tingyun stood up, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

"The minister was worried, so he came over to take a look, met Gonggong Chen below, and came over knowing that His Majesty was here." Shen Tingyun explained.

"Do you know who that person is?" Zhu You said to Shen Tingyun,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows." Shen Tingyun hurriedly said: "That person's name is Wang Wei, a native of Shaanxi Province, Jingyang County, Xi'an Prefecture. ”
