The next day, in the Wuying Palace, Tianqi and the British Gong Zhang Weiying, who was called, Gao Di, the secretary of the military department, Tian Ergeng, the left governor of Jinyiwei, and Sun Yunhe, the right governor of Jinyiwei, were deliberating. Tianqi said, "I have decided to set up a military affairs court in the Wuying Palace, and I will preside over the daily affairs. For the time being, the Military Affairs Yuan has three departments: the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Military Judge Advocate General's Office. The Military Aircraft Department made special decisions on military affairs, and temporarily appointed Zhang Aiqing and Gao Aiqing as ministers of military aircraft, and continued to increase personnel in the future; The Military Intelligence Department is a military intelligence collection department, which is composed of personnel from the Jinyi Wei Experience Division and the Beizhen Fu Division, and is responsible for spying on the enemy's situation, plotting against enemy generals, and analyzing intelligence. The Judge Advocate General's Office is composed of personnel from the Jinyi Weinan Township Division, which is responsible for correcting violations of military discipline and hearing, detaining, and sentencing officers who have committed crimes of dereliction of duty. When I'm done talking, ask any questions. ”

Zhang Weiying first said: "Your Majesty, the front is hundreds of miles away from Beijing, will you lose your fighter plane if you are executed by military aircraft?" ”

Apocalypse said: "What is grasped at the front is a tactical issue, and the execution of military aircraft is a strategic issue. To put it simply, the military aircraft department has the final say on whether to fight or not, and how to fight the front command personnel has the final say, but it is necessary to report while taking action. I don't know if you still have any doubts about saying this? ”

Zhang Weiying said: "The danger of the war is very important, and the ministers are afraid that they will miss the big thing if they are short-sighted, and they still need a few more people to participate in the discussion." Of course, it should be someone who has many years of combat experience, and Zhao Kuo's kind of nerd who can only talk on paper is enough. ”

Apocalypse thought to himself, "Is he alluding to me or is he talking about Gaudi?" But he said: "The British public is very true, then you can recommend a few people." ”

Zhang Weiying said: "Xiong Tingbi, the former Liaodong Economic Strategy, has always had a strategy, but he is still in prison after committing a crime, and the minister has never had anything to do with him. ”

Tianqi said: "Xiong Tingbi? Is it the one who was arrested with Wang Huazhen? ”

Zhang Weiying said: "It is this person. ”

Tianqi said: "Immediately send him to see me, and that Wang Huazhen, let both come." ”

At this time, Tian Ergeng, the governor of Jinyi Weizuo, said: "The ministers of the Military Justice Department have been doing it, I don't know if the emperor has anything to change?" ”

Tianqi said: "There are two places to change, one is that after the establishment of the Military Justice Department, the former generals are not allowed to kill their own soldiers on their own, unless the matter is urgent, but they must also report afterwards to see if it is a personal vendetta; The second is that you are no longer allowed to torture people in prison, although many of you are old and rude, but you must also act gently. ”

Tian Ergeng said: "Some criminals are very cunning, if you don't beat them, you won't move. ”

Apocalypse said: "Our purpose is to find out the truth, and many of the tortures are not the truth. When you want to hit someone, just think about what you will do if you are wronged and put in prison one day. ”

Tian Ergeng said: "The emperor is merciful, the ministers can't wait too much, but I don't know how long Xu Xianchun will be imprisoned?" ”

Tianqi said: "He abused Wang Wenyan, the secretary of the cabinet, and it was the people of the Donglin Party who waited for the Donglin Party to deal with him." ”

Sun Yunhe, the right governor of Jinyi Wei, said: "May I ask the emperor, is there a new difference in the responsibilities of the military intelligence department?" ”

Apocalypse said: "No, but we must pay attention to gathering intelligence and reference for the execution of military aircraft." How about you first draw a map on the wall for me based on the information that shows the deployment of our forces on both sides? ”

Gao Di, the secretary of the military department, said: "This military department has a detailed map, and the emperor needs his ministers to send someone to get it immediately." ”

Gao Di walked for a while, and saw two tall but thin people led by Jinyiwei into the palace, it was the former Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi and the former Liaodong governor Wang Huazhen, who were arrested due to the defeat of Guangning. Looking at their slightly larger clothes and slightly empty sleeves, the Apocalypse Secret Path Prison is really a good place to lose weight. When the two entered the hall, they immediately burst into tears, knelt on the ground and shouted long live the guilty ministers.

Apocalypse asked Xiong Tingbi: "Xiong Tingbi, what are you guilty of?" ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "After the defeat of Guangning, the ministers should not be rash and withdraw all the people to the Guannei, and it is shameful to think about it when you are idle." ”

Tianqi asked Wang Huazhen again: "Wang Huazhen, what are your crimes?" ”

Wang Huazhen said: "The ministers are anxious for quick success and have no way to use the troops, resulting in the loss of the soldiers and the loss of the city and land, and the ministers deserve death." ”

The Apocalypse said, "If you die, the dead soldiers will live?" You die, and those lost lands come back? If that's the case, I'll cut you all down right away!" It's a pity that people will not be resurrected after death, and it is difficult to regain lost land, so I don't want to cut you yet. I don't kill you because I'm soft-hearted, but because I don't have people now, but I only need two kinds of people around me now, one is a useful person, and the other is a very useful person, I don't know if you belong to these two kinds of people. ”

At this time, Gao Di came in with a map, and Tianqi asked him to spread the map on the big table, and called Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen to come over and ask: "Look carefully, this is the map of the deployment of the forces of the enemy and us, although it is constantly changing, but the general situation should be about the same, tell me what to do now, if you don't say it well, it proves that you are not capable, and there is no need to continue to survive." ”

Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen also got up and stepped forward to take a closer look regardless of their personal grievances, and the two also exchanged opinions in a low voice from time to time, it seems that the two of them are sparing their lives. At this moment, a little eunuch came in and reported: "Emperor Qibing, the students of the Hanlin Academy and the Guozijian are making trouble outside the palace gate, and they are all emotional and want to see the emperor. ”

Apocalypse thought, "I didn't offend these uncles?" Is there someone who incites it? ”

Tianqi was wondering, and heard a report that Zhu Yanxi, the assistant minister of the Government Council, asked to see him, and Tianqi said: "You can look at the map and discuss it together, and I will go to the side hall to hear what is going on." After the ministers sent it together, they immediately gathered around the map to observe and discuss.

However, he said that Tianqi saw Zhu Yanxi in the side hall, and saw that he was sweating profusely, and said after giving Tianqi a salute: "The minister is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

Apocalypse said strangely: "I was fine yesterday, but I didn't see you for a day and committed a crime?" You're not young enough to do bad things, tell me what you've done? Did you rob a woman on the way home yesterday or did you molest a widow? ”

Zhu Yanxi smiled bitterly: "The minister is old, and the ministers who said the emperor are powerless to do even if they have the heart." Yesterday, King Xin asked Weichen to go to the Hanlin Academy to find a few writers for the Government Council, who knew that they heard that many people were willing to come, and the minister couldn't shirk too many people and had to say that it was selected, who knew that today they were blocked at the palace gate to candidates, disturbing the emperor and asking the emperor for forgiveness. ”

Apocalypse asked again, "What's the matter with the students of the Guozijian?" ”

Zhu Yanxi replied: "The students of Guozijian heard that the emperor intended to rectify government and military affairs, and everyone was excited to say that they would also serve the court. ”

Tianqi thought: "This is when the intellectual youth are the most impulsive. He said, "How many people do you want?" How many people are willing to come? ”

Zhu Yanxi said: "Four or five is fine, up to ten, but there are hundreds of applicants." ”

Tianqi said: "I want to do this, Lord Zhu went to tell the people of the Hanlin Academy that I was going to recruit many people, but there was one condition: I had to accept the clean-up of the family property at any time, that is, the raid of the house. If they are willing, let them submit a letter of will, and the Government Council will gradually hire them another day, and as soon as they submit the letter of will, you will choose ten to use first. ”

Zhu Yanxi said strangely: "Dare to ask the emperor, what does it mean to raid the house at any time?" ”

Apocalypse said: "I hate corrupt officials the most, and I need to cultivate some people who are not greedy. But I'm lazy, I don't want to keep an eye on who takes how much money someone else has, and who takes how many kickbacks. It's easy to raid their homes at any time, and do an addition and subtraction to know who is greedy and who is not. ”

Zhu Yanxi asked, "Then won't they transfer the greedy money elsewhere?" ”

Tianqi said: "That is the great crime of bullying the king, and I will be at ease if I kill them." ”

Zhu Yanxi was even more strange: "This corrupt official should be killed, why should he be killed as a bully?" ”

Apocalypse said: "Who said that corrupt officials must be killed?" If he withdraws the money, he will not be a corrupt official, and I don't want to kill so many people. ”

Zhu Yanxi was at a loss and said, "The emperor's words seem to make sense, but Rong Chen went home and thought about it. That's how the Hanlin Academy's affairs are done, so how can the students of Guozijian persuade them? ”

Tianqi said: "If the students of Guozijian want to come, they can only come to the Military Affairs Institute for training and then join the army, and they may go to the front line in Liaodong, and if they are willing, let them submit a letter of will, and the Military Affairs Institute will gradually recruit them another day, and if they don't want to, they will go back and study hard." ”
