Chapter 53: Derogation
In the Daqing Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs quarreled. The military generals were very dissatisfied with Zhao Dezhao's private killing of the generals, but Wenchen thought that the prince killed a man-eating demon for the sake of heaven.
The generals were afraid of falling out of favor and wanted to take this incident as an example, and did not want the emperor to have a limit on the power of the generals.
And Wenchen wanted to test the emperor's bottom limit, wanted to expand this matter, and then limited the power of the generals.
quarreled because of Zhao Dezhao's killing of Wang Jixun, but the two parties to this incident were rarely mentioned.
Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, Wang Jixun, who abuses the people and likes to eat human flesh, has no good impression.
And the other party is the prince, Wenchen likes him, and the generals don't hate him, so they don't want to use this matter against him.
He has a close relationship with the children of Xungui, and he is a martial idiot, so he has no prejudice against military generals.
The Daqing Hall is not large, and the military generals on the right and the Wenchen on the left are separated by less than two meters.
No one wants to sit on their knees when they quarrel, and the two sides are separated by the middle passage, and the mouth of the quarrel is flying.
Yes, the current Song Dynasty still follows the Tang system, and the ministers are all sitting.
It's just that many ministers put forward opinions that a Jiazi has passed since the Tang Dynasty, and now that chairs have appeared, most people are not used to kneeling and sitting.
They demanded to be moved all the way into the court, and if the emperor did not allow it, they preferred to stand.
Anyway, the morning court is not long, only once every few days, even if you stand for an hour, it doesn't matter.
It's just that Zhao Kuangyin hasn't thought about what the rules of this court will be in the future.
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes seemed to be looking at the ministers sitting on both sides below, but he was already distracted.
Before going to court, he just glanced at the infantry drill book casually, and he didn't care about it at first, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this book is magical, and almost all of the military regulations have been taken into account.
Is this kind of strict army management also improved by later generations?
This son gave him so much surprise, even fear.
Fortunately, he chose to go to Xiangyang by himself, at least in the past few years, he will not pose a threat to himself, and he can also take a good look to see what step he can do!
By the way, don't forget to ask what the court will be like in the future.
It's noisy every day, and he, the emperor, is like an ornament, and it's really not as happy as before. (Being an emperor is not as good as being a festival envoy, which is the original words of Zhao Kuangyin's history.) )
There are some brains that hurt when they were arguing, but they were all low-level officials, and there was no heavyweight official.
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help coughing, and the ministers who were originally noisy and in full swing instantly quieted down.
All this is fake like acting, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sigh. Only then did he speak: "The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the prince Dezhao is punished for not teaching, which is regarded as illegal." However, although Wang Jixun has a little merit, he cares about human life and feeds on people, not as good as livestock. The prince violated the law, there are extenuating circumstances, Wang Jixun died, and it is not a pity to die. ”
Supervising the imperial history Xu Yuncheng took a step forward, bowed with the wat in his hand and said: "Official, but the eldest son of the Wang family is still pulling Wang Jixun's body ......outside the Xuande Gate."
"Go and tell him that his father feeds on people, and it is not a pity to die, but he remembers the merits of the past, and gives money to help the soul to be buried in his hometown. As for the prince, he must not go unpunished, otherwise how can the law of the country continue! Today, the crown prince Dezhao has been stripped of the title of General and assigned to the post, and he is not allowed to be summoned or returned to Beijing. ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and this punishment was not light, but heavy.
In later generations, hundreds of miles were driven for several hours, but today's hundreds of miles are another world.
Without the rank of general, Zhao Dezhao is only left with the title of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Envoy, which everyone originally thought was a fictitious title, but now it has become a real position.
Shannan Dongdao Zhiya is located in Xiangyang, a thousand miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, and now if you want to send this prince so far, do you want to give up this prince?
Zhao Pu immediately straightened up, walked to the middle with a Chao Wat in his hand and said: "The official family thinks twice, the prince is young, and now he is thousands of miles away, it is really not the original intention of the ministers." The official family only has two sons, the second brother is only over 14, and the fourth brother is even younger. ”
Zhao Pu said this many times before, and was finally demoted, but now that Zhao Guangyi is seriously ill and has not been to the court for many days, Zhao Pu mentioned it again.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "The prince grows up in peace, not the blessing of the society." What's more, he is fifteen, and he will get married this month, and he will be allowed to go to the land after the wedding. ”
Zhao Pu's waist bent deeper. "Hoping that the official family will withdraw its will is shaking the foundation of the country."
Zhao Kuangyin also straightened up, walked in front of Zhao Pu and helped him up. "My son, I can't be in peace all the time. Let him go to govern the land today, and the Ming Dynasty will let him go into battle to kill the enemy. Only with both civil and military integrity can I make the Great Song Guozuo sustainable. What does the prime minister think? ”
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's sincere eyes, Zhao Pu knew that he had made up his mind, shook his head, and was speechless.
falsely led Zhao Pu to his position, and Zhao Kuangyin did not return to his position, but came to the front of Wei Cheng, the head of the household. "Wei Qing, is the treasury still abundant now?"
Wei Cheng wanted to get up but was stopped by Zhao Kuangyin, so he could only straighten his waist and reply: "This autumn income is in the treasury, although it has not yet been totaled, it should be the same as last year." However, now the army has brought back a large amount of money and grain in Shudi, and the treasury is abundant. ”
October is the richest time of the year, if you wait until the spring and summer of next year, the money is almost spent, Wei Cheng will not dare to say this.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, took two steps back, and said: "Allocate 50,000 yuan to Xiangyang Thorn Shi Cai Lingxing, order him to repair the Jiedu Embassy, and allocate another 50,000 yuan to the prince."
In addition, in the spring of the Ming Dynasty, the prince Dezhao was responsible for the formation of a new army in Xiangyang, which should be spent by the household department. ”
Wei Cheng got up to receive the order, and asked again: "I don't know how many people the new army will be formed, and the ministers should prepare money, food, and military uniforms in advance." ”
"Ten thousand."
"Whoa."
Now, everyone is confused again. I can't figure out what Zhao Kuangyin is thinking.
If you like this prince, why let him go so far? Stay away from the center.
If you don't like this prince, why is the current arrangement comprehensive, for fear that he will not have a good life?
Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin had already made arrangements, he obviously had already made a decision, and no one objected at this time.
It's just that everyone has already made up their minds, and they have to inquire about it after the next court.
In fact, Zhao Dezhao only told him that there were 6,000 people, of which 3,000 were combat troops and the other 3,000 were survey troops.
Because everyone is required to be literate, at least some basic, so these 6,000 people may not be able to recruit all of them.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it must be carried out, especially the surveying troops, and if they cannot recruit all the troops, they can only teach the combat units to measure.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Dezhao started to engage in the young army, and he made small troubles from a small age, and finally became the training base of the new army, which was a detour.
For example, in the first few years, there were only a few dozen people, and for example, he whimsically wanted to engage in special forces, and finally proved wrong.
It won't be in this life, and today's Great Song Dynasty doesn't need special forces, but it needs map soldiers even more.
Map surveying and mapping is definitely the biggest black technology in ancient times, and whether it is marching and fighting, building roads and bridges, or rescue and disaster relief, the role of maps is extremely huge.
However, there were no qualified cartographers in this era.
Of course, not only in the East, but also in the West, before the eighteenth century, were maps with distorted proportions and discernible by local personnel.
In the previous life, during the more than 100 years of the Ming Dynasty, until the death of Zhao Dezhao, map surveyors and topographic surveyors were still the most lacking in technical personnel.
Because this earth is so big, there are so many places that need to be mapped.
After ensuring basic security and the use of force, and having advanced technology, this task must be carried out unswervingly.
Finally went down, Zhao Kuangyin drank a bowl of porridge tastelessly, and the steamed buns didn't move. "Han Du commanded the envoy to go to the East Palace and hasn't come back yet?"
"Nope."
"Has the Divine Decree ever arrived? What is the reaction of the second brother? ”
You Baochuan, the chamberlain who passed the decree, bowed down and replied: "When the decree arrived, the second brother behaved very calmly. ”
Zhao Kuangyin asked suspiciously, "Very calm?" ”
You Baochuan was shocked, and his waist bent even lower. "It's very calm, just a little ...... Indignation. ”
This is the right response, I have been taught by the gods, and I am naturally very smart. It would be too fake to be calm.
"Today's court is postponed, and the people who want to see it are also postponed to tomorrow, and now go to the East Palace."
"Official, the second brother said yesterday that he would go to the palace to accompany you for lunch, and the four bear paws will be sent to the palace for you."
Zhao Kuangyin didn't have the heart to think about bear's paws at this time. "Arrange the bear's paw to the East Palace to do it, and take a few small ones to the East Palace by the way at noon."
Meng Kuan glanced at him, and immediately someone went down to make arrangements, and he hurriedly helped Zhao Kuangyin pack his bags, and ordered to drive.
Because the distance is very close, every time Zhao Kuangyin walks, it is also convenient.
As soon as he entered the gate of the East Palace, Zhao Kuangyin saw that the forbidden troops who were not on duty were all gathered at the door of the side hall of the main hall of the East Palace.
This salute also alarmed the people in the house, and dozens of people came out at once, and there were quite a few of them.
"See Your Majesty'......"
"Excuse me, excuse me, don't preach so much, what are you doing?"
Han Chongyun, who came out side by side with Zhao Dezhao, said: "Last night, the second brother gave a lecture to these juniors, and today the minister and the second brother also discussed this book, which attracted them to listen. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I took a random glance this morning, and I will take a look at this book." ”
Zhao Dezhao bowed down and listened to Zhao Kuangyin ask, "Are you dissatisfied?" ”
The others didn't dare to say anything, but they heard Zhao Dezhao say: "The child has long had the intention to go out, and this matter is just as I wanted." ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled, this attitude was okay, a little higher than the level of reaction he expected at the beginning.
