101 Loyal Forces I

Tianqi heard that Feng Siqin's grandfather had painstakingly arranged for her to enter the palace before his death, and suddenly felt a little unbelievable, you said that knowing in advance that she could become a concubine in the palace also makes people think, and being a palace maid who serves people still has to spend money to go through the back door, is it that her head was kicked by a donkey? You must know that at that time, many children of criminals were punished into the palace, and a family with very superior family conditions sent their only granddaughter with the children of criminals, which really makes people wonder if his sanity is normal, unless he can pinch it to know that one day Feng Siqin can be favored by the emperor, but where are there so many living immortals in the world? The magic stick is a handful of handfuls.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, and the apocalypse said: "In that case, let your brother who is very good to you send the box, to be honest, I have become interested in your box, and when the time comes, open it for me to see what good things are inside, there will be no gold pill that can soar in the daytime, right?" ”

Feng Siqin said with a smile: "This is really uncertain, the concubines thank the emperor first, and then the concubines will open it when the emperor arrives." ”

Tianqi looked at Wei Xiaolan next to him and asked, "Why didn't you speak today?" ”

Wei Xiaolan said: "I'm too lazy to move those thoughts, and I can't think of the concubines." ”

Apocalypse said, "If you keep it like this until you are old, you will definitely be able to live a long life." ”

Tianqi really didn't say this casually, he had met a few old men in good health at the age of eighty or ninety before, and when he asked them why they lived so long and were so healthy, the common thing these old men said was to worry less. I remember that there was an eighty-seven-year-old man who could jump up and down and jump cleanly, unlike some old men who were only in their sixties and trembled when they walked, and the apocalypse asked the old man what the secret was, who knew that this old man said that there was no secret except for less worry, and that he should never think about it and not ask it, and he should try to let others help him manage it, and it seems that he is also a heartless goods.

At this time, Feng Siqin said in passing: "The emperor wants to live for 10,000 years, and it seems that the emperor should worry less." ”

Tianqi looked at Feng Siqin and said, "I remember that you once said something like that, I have already thought of a good way to worry less and will order it tomorrow." After speaking, he asked the eunuchs around him to inform the ministers of the court tomorrow morning, first, to summarize the controversy of more than a month, and second, to ask the relevant personnel of the three military regions to prepare.

The next day, the civil and military officials in Beijing all came to the palace gate early in the morning to wait, because they had not been to the court for a long time, everyone did not see much, and they all came forward to say hello and make some friendships while they were free now. Even small talk has its own circle, everyone talks together according to age, relationship, friendship, etc., and when they are talking happily, Sun Chengzong, a scholar in charge of the Military Affairs Academy, comes, and many people turn their heads to look at him.

Sun Chengzong was very happy for a while, he won the battle in front of him, and he was also very relied on by the emperor, and the ministers and ministers in and outside the court were very polite when they saw him, and he was surrounded by some people who knew and could say flattering words at any time, making him feel like a teenager bathed in spring light. What makes him happiest is that two of his daughters-in-law gave birth to two grandchildren one after another two days ago, which makes the wrinkles on his face smile at any time.

Happy to be happy but to maintain a good image on the surface, seeing that Ye Xianggao, Zhu Yanxi, Han Yi, Liu Yixian and others in the Government Council were all looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet everyone and salute each other. Ye Xianggao asked: "Lord Sun has been discussing military affairs with the emperor for a while, and yesterday I informed that the court would make a conclusion about this controversy this morning, I don't know what the emperor means, can Lord Sun reveal a little, lest everyone speak out of the holy will." ”

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't say it, but I really don't know, but since it is an early dynasty, it will definitely not be limited to military affairs, because the emperor can avoid this matter in the previous dynasty, so he doesn't want to trouble." ”

Liu Yixiao nodded at this time and said: "Yes, the last time I went to court was two months ago, and the emperor generally doesn't go to court, and there will be big things as soon as he goes to court." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "It doesn't matter, the emperor is generous, even if he says something wrong, he won't take it to heart, just like Hong Chengchou who provoked the incident this time, it is said that the emperor is also ready to be transferred to Beijing for reuse." ”

Han Yi frowned and said, "This is not good, if there will be more and more people who provoke trouble and seek promotion after doing this, then what then?" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "The emperor should have consideration, I don't believe we will look at it today." ”

After a while, a eunuch notified that officials above the fourth rank should enter the palace to participate in the court meeting outside the imperial palace, so everyone rushed into the palace. When I arrived at the Imperial Palace, I saw that the throne was set up in front of the palace, and the honor guard had already stood up, and everyone lined up to worship as soon as the apocalypse arrived. After the worship, the apocalypse said: "It just rained yesterday, and the weather is good today, so I summoned everyone outside to say a few things, the air here is fresh for a while, and the sun can come out and bask in the sun, which is good for everyone's body." ”

Seeing the apocalypse talking like this, the ministers understood that the emperor was in a good mood today, so they all nodded and smiled.

Tianqi said: "A while ago, Hong Chengchou, the Senator of the two Zhejiang Cheng Declared Political Left, said two things in a letter, one is that he disagrees with my will to link age with the rank of officials, and the other is that he also has views on the equality of civil and military personnel. After more than a month of controversy, Hong Chengchou has expressed no further opposition to the issue of linking age with grade, and has also reached a conclusion on the issue of equality between civil and military personnel, that is, when military officials and civilian officials discuss the dignity of rank, they should be lowered by one grade and then discussed. Although these are all conclusive, I still have to say a few words, and if there is anything inappropriate, everyone will add and improve. ”

The ministers said in unison: "Listen to the hadith." ”

Tianqi said: "Liu Zongzhou, the head of the Holy Academy, once suggested that the garrison troops and field troops of the imperial court should be separated from each other, and I think there is some truth to it. Yesterday I also heard two suggestions, one is to put forward the field troops to be directly managed by the Military Affairs Yuan and renamed, and the other is to set up a supervisory army around more than 100 officials in all the troops. ”

Sun Chengzong had heard of the fact that the garrison troops and the field troops were supervising each other separately, but it was the first time he had heard of the fact that the field troops were directly managed by the Military Affairs Yuan and renamed them. However, Sun Chengzong did not express his surprise, he just asked: "In the existing army, only the mountain infantry battalion, the marine battalion, the cavalry battalion and the vehicle battalion can be independently formed into a field army, as for changing the name, I don't know what name the emperor is going to change?" More than 100 households must set up prison ministers, afraid that there will be too many people needed. ”

Tianqi said: "I am preparing to change the names of the four troops that Mr. said first, and add the word 'royal' in front of the names of the four troops, the mountain infantry battalion is called the Ming Royal Army, the marine battalion of the naval division is called the Ming Royal Navy, and the cavalry battalion and the car battalion are renamed the Ming Royal Cavalry and the Ming Royal Car Artillery, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Sun Chengzong was pondering, when Liu Zongzhou stepped forward and said, "Emperor Qiqi has something to say. ”

Tianqi smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, think about it more, Lord Liu has something to say." ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "Some time ago, the ministers of the DPRK and China made some arguments about the relationship between the civil and military forces, and the ministers also participated in them. The minister has always been thinking about how to make the relationship between the civil and military harmonious, and how to make the civil and military generals equally loyal to the emperor. ”

Liu Zongzhou is the head of the Holy Academy, and although the Holy Academy has just been established, it has gradually become a think tank of the imperial court, so Liu Zongzhou's words have a certain representativeness. Tianqi smiled and asked, "If Lord Liu has any new ideas, you might as well tell me about them, and also tell them to everyone." ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "In the three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, few Wenchen people dared to have the heart of disobedience, all because of the sage Confucianism, and the theory of the name of the monarch and the minister in Confucianism won the hearts of the people, so that all the Wenchen can have supreme loyalty to the imperial court. Taizu's imitation of the Song Dynasty system to control the military with literature is also to prevent the military ministers from making rebellion, but it is only a precaution and cannot let it have the same natural loyalty as the Wenchen, and it is not realistic to select all the generals from the Confucian scholars, after all, there are too few people who are both civil and military. However, now the emperor's move to rename the army can play a role in increasing the loyalty of the generals. ”
