Although Wu Shengzhao has led the army for many years, he has not won any big victories, and he has never been kind to the soldiers, but he just used money to encircle a group of so-called henchmen.

Such a person, how could anyone follow him to disobey the army of the imperial court, and twelve horsemen of the Hidden Elephant Battalion were enough

The purge of Jiangxi's soldiers lasted for three months, and Wu Shengzhao had been entrenched in Jiangxi for so many years, and his root system was intricate, and it was not possible to clean it up in a while.

When the news spread, the martial arts halls in various localities took the lead in expressing their attitudes and began to bow down to self-examination, and in addition to the daily drills and the teaching of tactics, they also joined the course of self-cultivation and morality.

Jiang Jianxun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wrote to ask for guilt, and Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "The local military power always belongs to me, what does it have to do with Jiang Jianxun." The blame for this matter lies with me, I remember the old merits and friendships, and neglect the governance of the army, so that there are such generals who love power and are greedy for money. Since then, there has been a permanent post of supervising the army in the army, which belongs to the civilian system, and it is not allowed to interfere in all matters of marching and arranging for war, but only checking the salaries of the soldiers, supervising the generals, and attributed to the name of the criminal department. ”

The emperor set up a supervising army, and unlike the previous Ming Dynasty, this was a permanent civil official, not a temporary cronie who was placed in the war.

The Chinese Dynasty won the world by force, and the officers gradually became corrupt but did not have a corresponding supervision system, which made them even more unscrupulous.

Hou Xuanyan also made up for this, but the most direct effect seen by civil and military officials was that the emperor once again strengthened his control over military power.

In recent years, his authority has become more and more prosperous, coupled with the fact that he is the founder of the country, and his soldiers are strong and strong, and the country has been relatively stable.

At a time when other countries are struggling to catch up, the Chinese Dynasty has begun to advance by inertia and widen the gap farther and farther.

Later historians often lamented this strange phenomenon during the Tianxi period, the Chinese were obviously going farther and farther on the road of pleasure and entertainment, but their national strength was increasing day by day.

Factories, roads, bridges, canals, etc., which invested a lot of money in the early stage... All kinds of infrastructure construction is the best track, and the Chinese Dynasty relied on inertia on this track to run a hundred times faster than Britain, France, Japan and other countries trying to pull a car

Qinhuai River, Changganli, Fan Man Ten Miles, Fragrance Floats Ten Thousand Households, Lou Boat Painting Boat Singing and Dancing Prosperous, Restaurants and Tea Shops Row upon Row, If there is a paradise in the 17th century, it can only be Jinling Stone City in the south of the Yangtze River.

The scorching sun is in the sky, the imperial garden is full of flowers, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, Hou Xuanyan is holding a flower gun, and he is teaching the two little princesses some three-legged cat marksmanship in one move.

Because it will be the emperor's birthday in a few days, the prince also came back from the lecture hall, Hou Yingjun has a little more masculinity, and sure enough, the military camp is the best place to exercise people.

Huang Ying'er and the two maids in the distance covered their mouths and snickered, obviously Hou Xuan's two actions were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

Most of Hou Xuan's moves are in the fur of the Northern Expedition Military Camp Middle School, which is just used to strengthen the body, and he doesn't expect his two daughters to have high attainments in martial arts, but he just hopes that they can get sick less and not be too delicate.

On the contrary, Xiao Lizi led a group of eunuchs and palace maids, waving flags and shouting on the side, applauding.

After Hou Xuan's performance, he and the two little apprentices were sweating, and a palace maid came over with a towel.

Hou Xuanyan first wiped the faces of Hou Wanshu and Hou Wanyu, and then after sitting down, he said: "This time on my birthday, inform the Ministry of Rites not to make a big deal, every day is a grand celebration of various names, and I am a little tired." ”

Three days later is the emperor's birthday, the emperor's birthday is valued for a long time, speaking of which is still from Li Shimin, there is a special celebration ceremony in the ceremony.

Li Shimin said to his brother-in-law's eldest grandson Wuji: "Today is my birthday, and the vulgar cloud 'birthday is joyful', and I think about it with my feelings!" ”

Speaking of celebrations, Tang Xuanzong is of course the most attentive one, and he simply took a three-day national holiday to celebrate his birthday.

Hou Xuanyan is the founding emperor, and his birthday has always been to gather ministers in the palace, feast hundreds of officials, eat and drink together, and brag about it.

However, with the increasing national strength, starting from Tianxi year, Hou Xuanyan's birthday will be celebrated on July 13 every year.

At that time, all the nations came to congratulate, and hundreds of officials paid generous gifts, and wrote poems and songs to praise virtues.

That scene is good, but it's always tired, Hou Xuanyan wants to celebrate his birthday quietly now.

Hou Yingjun smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Erchen congratulates my father on a long life." ”

Hou Xuanyan sat down on the chair and scolded with a smile: "Longevity without borders, isn't it a king, you are talking about martial arts to learn some skills, although it is impossible to catch up with my father, but you have to be like me." ”

Hou Wanshu next to him said obediently: "My daughter wishes my father happiness and health." ”

Hou Xuanyan was so happy that his mouth cracked, and he pushed his forehead with her, and said, "It's still the little peach that is the most filial." ”

Hou Wanshu giggled, this little girl has been with her father for the longest time, and she is ten years old now, even three years older than Hou Yingjun.

Hou Wanyu next to her stood timidly aside, her personality was a little following Chen Yuanyuan, and she didn't dare to be coquettish with Hou Xuan.

Hou Xuanyan saw the pitiful appearance of his little daughter, hugged him directly, and said with a smile: "You are also filial, and your father likes you too." ”

The father and daughter smiled brightly, Hou Yingjun next to him had a black line, his own father was too real, fortunately he was not a sensitive person, and his eyes rolled and asked: "Father, if you don't hold a celebration this year, I am afraid that the people in the city will be disappointed." ”

Hou Xuanyan thought about it carefully, but there was some truth in it, his birthday was a festival, and it would bring a lot of opportunities to the people of Jinling in previous years. Hou Yingjun is in the martial arts hall, there are many children in the young Lin camp, and the family relies on this to earn a lot of money.

After all, everything needs to be purchased, which gives the people the opportunity to make money. Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan was as good as a stream, and immediately changed his mind and said: "Little Lizi, I have taken back my life, and this year will be the same." The martial arts hall is a good place, Jun'er really didn't go in vain, and gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Hou Xuanyan couldn't help but praise a few words.

Hou Yingjun is only seven years old and has learned to look at problems from the perspective of the people, which is simply a prodigy-level performance for the successor of an emperor.

Raising a prince in the palace, over time, I don't know the sufferings of the people, and how can I want him to love the people like a son when he grows up. No matter how much the teachings of the gentlemen and sages are written, they are not as impressive as what they have seen and heard with their own eyes.

Hou Xuanyan was secretly happy in his heart, his stocking strategy was once again proven to be wise, everything in the Hua Dynasty had been arranged for him, and the next thing was Xiao Gui Cao Sui, I believe he will be competent.
