Chapter 253: The Inner Court and the Outer Court

Fang Yuan also ignored the dust on the ground, and continued to take care of himself, "A clean army, or an official system, only exists in political propaganda. Whether it is the Ming army during the Taizu and Chengzu periods, or the Ming army of Tianqi and His Majesty, there is corruption and corruption. However, during the Taizu and Chengzu periods, corruption could be controlled under the red line, so it did not affect the combat strength of the Ming army. In the period of the Apocalypse and His Majesty, the corruption of the army was obviously out of control, so the combat strength of the Ming army would decline rapidly. What we need to do is to control corruption and make the Xuanjia Army's combat power unrivaled in the world, not to eliminate corruption, because that is simply a fool's dream. ”

"The Xuanjia Army has only been in the army for two years, it is still taking shape, and most of the time it is still fighting abroad, the rules and regulations and military discipline are indeed not rigorous, we can take the time to standardize and adjust, but we can't generalize to the whole, and wipe out all the merits of the third child with a small mistake, the so-called flaws are not concealed, that's the reason, right!"

Jing Jie realized the tolerance and protection between Fang Yuan's words, and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Fang Yuan continued, "Third brother, if the number of empty salaries in the Xuanjia Army is controlled below 1,000 next year; The bad debts of military salaries are controlled at half percent, that is, within 30,000 taels; In the assessment of officers, the number of people who have risen to the top without merit, at most one person in 1,000 households, and no more than five people in 100 households, can it be done? ”

"Also, Xuanjia Shengong, explosion-proof equipment and artillery are important strategic resources, which cannot be taken lightly and must be paid attention to. After the third child returns, he will immediately track down his whereabouts and try his best to recover his losses, and in the future, he will treat these three weapons as top-secret strategic armaments, strictly keep them, and report the results of rectification to me. ”

Fang Yuan's rectification conditions were not harsh, and Jing Jie nodded gratefully, "Okay!" ”

Fang Yuan grabbed Jing Jie's hand, patted it affectionately, and continued to comfort him, "Third brother, this audit is not aimed at you and Hongyu, but the big war is coming, we must know the truth of the Xuanjia Army well, otherwise if we go to the battlefield and go wrong, then we have to do it?" So you are not negligent, and the fourth fastidious check is also doing a good job! ”

"I said earlier, the third child, you are the military soul of the Xuanjia Army, and no one can replace you!"

Jing Jie bowed deeply at him and gave a military salute.

Seeing that he was so reasonable, Su Hongyu whimpered and said, "Thank you, Boss Mingjian!" I'm so confused, I'm here to teach the boss to manage military affairs! ”

Fang Yuan looked at her sideways, and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen Sister Su cry, don't cry, I'm really not used to it." ”

Su Hongyu hurriedly wiped away her tears and burst into laughter.

Fang Yuan pulled Jing Jie to stand up together, patted the dust of the brocade robe, and said loudly to everyone, "The elimination of corruption in all dynasties is nothing more than three purposes, one is to control corruption under the red line; the second is to confiscate the wealth of corrupt officials and enrich the treasury; The third is to seize the opportunity to crack down on political opponents. ”

He looked around for a week and continued, "I hope that the purpose of the Jinyi Guard and the Xuanjia Army to eliminate corruption is simpler, that is, to strive to control corruption below the red line and maximize the combat effectiveness of the army. If anyone has other purposes, they will change it, and if they don't, they will be encouraged. ”

His words couldn't be more obvious, he was sounding the alarm for Xiao Yuan and Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan was a ghost in his heart, so he was silent and didn't dare to answer. Xiao Yuan was slapped in the face in public, her face sank, and her displeasure was all hung on her pink face.

Fang Yuan continued to announce in public, "Jing Jie, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, governs the army in a good way and reinstates his position as the chief soldier." ”

Jing Jie was not only not punished this time, but also reinstated his previous degraded position as the chief soldier, and hurriedly surrendered.

"Jinyiwei and Qin Zhan did their best this time, and also made great contributions, and was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei, with full responsibility for Jinyiwei's affairs."

As soon as Qin Zhan heard that the coveted position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard had suddenly arrived, he could hardly believe his ears, and hurriedly thanked Fang Yuan again and again.

"Su Hongyu, virtuous and virtuous, I will ask the court to make you the second lady of the order."

Su Hongyu also received the reward from Mrs. Fate, and said with a smile, "Thank you, boss!" ”

Fang Yuan obliquely glanced at Xiao Yuan, who was gloomy and sullen, and said slowly, "As for Mrs. Yuan!" ”

Xiao Yuan said to him with a calm face, "Fang Junmen said that I have had it, and I don't want to defend it, Fang Junmen will punish him if he wants to!" ”

She mouthed Fang Junmen, and she didn't even call her son, and her dissatisfaction was beyond words.

Fang Yuan took out the Governor's Seal in his arms and placed it on the table, "Since you want to be punished so much, I will punish you for taking more responsibility, and in the future, you will be in charge of the Governor's Seal for me!" If there is an omission or loss, it will be handed over to the brocade guard for questioning. ”

Fang Yuan said slowly, "From today onwards, military affairs will be drafted by Jing Jie with full powers, and Jinyi Wei affairs will be drafted by Qin Zhan, and all tickets will need to be stamped with the governor's seal before they can be officially implemented." ”

Xiao Yuan was stunned, Fang Yuan's arrangement meant that he could take charge of the governor's seal for Fang Yuan, and he would have the power to temporarily act as the governor. In other words, as long as Fang Yuan himself is not there, the final decision must be stamped and approved by Xiao Yuan before it can be implemented. It can be said that Fang Yuan's trust in her has reached a higher level, far beyond the promotion of Jing Jie and Qin Zhan.

Xiao Yuan smiled like a flower at this time, took the governor's seal with joy, and put it firmly in his arms.

Fang Yuan had his own reward this time, which was regarded as a peace between the two sides, and it was also a kind of secret warning, no one on either side should make trouble again, and there would be no result if they made any more trouble.

And when they heard this, they all received the command.

Jing Jie and Su Hongyu left Suzhou City, and Su Hongyu suddenly said, "Third brother, the boss is really eccentric!" ”

Jing Jie was stunned and asked, "Hongyu, this time we were able to pass the test smoothly, and you are still not satisfied with the reward from the Lady of Destiny?" ”

Su Hongyu sighed and said, "Third brother, the rewards given to us by the boss are actually false names, the name of the so-called chief soldier, what is the use of the lady of the command?" However, the reward given to Mrs. Yuan was the real power in charge of the governor's seal. ”

"The Ming Dynasty has always been a political situation in which the inner court and the outer court stand together, and now the power of Mrs. Yuan's palm seal is equivalent to the power of the celebrant eunuch, and she also controls the harem, Jinyiwei, which is greater than Wei Zhongxian's power back then. And we are only the part of the outer court in charge of the army, and we only have half the power of the outer court. This is obviously Mrs. Eccentric Garden! ”

Jing Jie was silent for a while, and then said, "No, Hongyu, you are wrong, the boss is not Mrs. Yuan, but is really making the final preparations for the anti-Ming." ”

Su Hongyu was stunned and asked, "Does the promotion of Mrs. Yuan have anything to do with anti-Ming?" ”

Jing Jie said slowly, "Hongyu, anti-Ming is by no means as simple as hanging a banner, and the military and political system must also be changed. Without a mature military and political system, it is no different from the rogue gangsters, and it will completely collapse after twists and turns. The previous loose management system of the Xuanjia Army was obviously out of date, and it was impossible to assume the management function of a regime, and the boss now temporarily borrowed from the system of checks and balances in the inner and outer courts of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Su Hongyu suddenly realized that Fang Yuan gave all the power of the inner court to Xiao Yuan and Qin Zhan, which was to be used to balance the Xuanjia Army of the outer court, as well as the administrative system of various prefectures.

Xiao Yuan has served Fang Yuan for many years, and is even more pregnant with Fang Yuan's flesh and blood, in Fang Yuan's opinion, she is a cronie who will never betray, and she is undoubtedly the closest and most trusted person in the inner court, far from being replaced by the ignorant Princess Kunxing, if she doesn't hand over the governor's seal to Xiao Yuan for safekeeping, who else can she give it to?

As for the contradiction between Xiao Yuan, Jing Jie and Su Hongyu, it is actually the contradiction between the inner court and the outer court. It's all too common for the two sides to quarrel. If the inner court and the outer court are integrated and don't make a fuss, this is what Fang Yuan is most worried about, so Fang Yuan is happy to see Xiao Yuan and Qin Zhan occasionally come to the door to provoke.

Jing Jie said slowly, "Since the boss has planned the layout of the inner court and the outer court, now we will help the princess deal with Mrs. Yuan, that is, the outer court will put its hand into the inner court, the boss will inevitably be angry and angry, and the next thing can only depend on the princess's own creation." ”

Su Hongyu also agreed with his statement, there was no clear boundary between the inner court and the outer court before, and they could contradict and meddle at any time, but now Fang Yuan has made the difference between the inner court and the outer court, and if he interferes in the affairs of the inner court again, it will be a taboo.

She couldn't help but sigh and said, "Third brother, I just wronged the princess." ”

Jing Jie said in a deep voice, "Hongyu, you are really a woman's kindness. Speaking of grievances, who doesn't have grievances? Conquered Shandong, Zhejiang, and Liaodong, the dead Xuanjia Army sergeants, the people, there are more, are they wronged? Mrs. Yuan was born in a poor family since she was a child, and was sold to the dental industry as a thin horse, is she wronged? Why can't a princess be wronged? ”

"This is a world of great contention, and there are capable people on it, and Mrs. Yuan is also a leader who has worked hard from thousands of teeth. If the princess wants to fight back against Mrs. Yuan, she must prove to everyone that in addition to being reincarnated as a good father, she also has real skills to be the queen of the world, understand?! ”

Su Hongyu had to admit that Jing Jie was reasonable, and responded softly.

At present, Jing Jie and she can only save the princess's life, as for whether the princess can win Xiaoyuan, it can only depend on her own ability.
