Chapter 50: The Discussion of the Eight Schools

One earthquake, another earthquake, a series of earthquakes~

Liu Hong threw out one reward after another, which shook the Manchu Dynasty Minister, Wei Wei and Si Li's school captain are now plus a river/Nan Yin, although Ye Zhao is not the third prince now, but this power is not much worse than the three princes, not to mention that now the three princes are not out, how to shrink, looking at the court, who else can suppress Ye Zhao?

This is not counted, everyone can accept the words of the marquis, after all, with Ye Zhao's merits, it is still a little low to only seal the marquis of a pavilion, but this horse captain has a different meaning, as soon as the edict of the Son of Heaven comes out, it means that Ye Zhao will completely stand on the royal chariot, and he has already been labeled as an emperor.

This is not a good thing for many people.

Ye Zhao was a little helpless, he hadn't actually thought about whether to marry the princess, after all, the identity of the concubine has benefits but also restrictions, and he will do anything unfavorable to the royal family for a long time in the future, I am afraid that he will become the finger of the thousand husbands, the Son of Heaven wants to use the people of the world to look at himself, so that he has to become a vassal of the royal family, but this edict, he can't help but accept it.

If he doesn't answer, not only will the scholar fall into the well, but Liu Hong may also have other thoughts about him in his heart, after a moment of silence, Ye Zhao bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

No wonder Liu Wei's girl hasn't come over for a while, it seems that she has already gotten the news.

"Your Majesty, the princess's marriage is a national event, is it ......" Wang Yun finally couldn't help but stand up and wanted to dissuade him, after all, even if Ye Zhao made a great contribution this time, but a series of rewards were promoted, and now even the princess was sent out, it was still a bit too much.

"The marriage of 10,000 years is a matter of my family, I say now, I don't want to ask for the opinion of Zhu Qing, but I just want to tell Zhu Qing about this, can Zhu Qing understand?" Liu Hong lowered his head and looked down at the old minister.

"Minister...... Got it. Wang Yun opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, since Liu Hong returned to Luoyang, as if he had changed a person, he behaved very strongly, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not dare to openly disobey Liu Hong's intentions.

"Understood, let's retreat, Ye Qing stays, I have already selected a marriage date for you and Wannian, and sent someone to inform Cai Gong that this marriage will be presided over by him." Liu Hong stood up, beckoned to Ye Zhao, and without waiting for the Manchu Dynasty to salute, he had already gotten up and walked towards the palace with Ye Zhao.

"Retreat~" Zhang Rang looked at the direction where Liu Hong and Ye Zhao left, smiled and turned his head to look at the Manchu Dynasty Minister with an ugly face, and said loudly in a sharp voice.

"Your Majesty, is the matter of the princess too ......" Leaving the Jiade Palace, seeing that there was no one around, Ye Zhao couldn't help but say to the Son of Heaven.

"Qing doesn't want to marry Wannian?" Liu Hong turned his head and looked at Ye Zhao, his eyes flashing with a dangerous aura.

"The princess has a cheerful personality and a peerless appearance, and it is a blessing for a minister to marry a princess, why don't you want to say it?" Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "It's just that this matter is too hasty?" The minister is afraid that he has wronged the princess. ”

Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao carefully for a long time, and saw that Ye Zhao was not reluctant at all, his eyes softened a little, and he sighed while walking with Ye Zhao: "Don't worry about this, although Wei'er is not my own person, but I despise my own flesh and blood, how can I be hasty?" Preparations, as early as when I returned to Beijing, I had already started to prepare, counting the time, Cai Weng was almost about to return to Beijing, I ...... I want to see that Wei'er can find a good home as soon as possible, this body is in the royal family, it is really rare to be able to find a person I like, I have too many regrets in my life, I don't want Wei'er to carry too many things, I hope Qing will not let Wei'er down. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as the minister lives for a day, he will not let the princess suffer the slightest grievance." Ye Zhao said solemnly.

"I came to you this time, in addition to Wei'er's marriage, I also want to discuss the matter of this new army with Qing." Liu Hong took Ye Zhao to the side hall of the Jiade Palace, looked at Ye Zhao and said: "Qing is a famous general in the world, and the ability to fight in battle formations, training, and marching and fighting is rare, I want to ask for your opinion." ”

"The name of a famous general, I dare not be ashamed!" Ye Zhao hurriedly bowed and said.

"If you don't deserve it, who in this big Han world is worthy of the name of this general?" Liu Hong shook his head and smiled: "Don't be too humble, tell me what you think." ”

Ye Zhao didn't want to meddle in the affairs of this new army, but now that Liu Hong asked, he could only follow Liu Hong's words, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Please show Your Majesty, how should this new army be established?" ”

"If there are continuous rebellions today, Dong Zhuo leads the Liangzhou herd, but the imperial court is powerless to stop it, the reason for this is that the imperial court is empty, Beigong Wei, Luben Sanwei, Nangong Wei and the Governor of the Sili Captain Department are safe inside and outside the palace, and they cannot be moved lightly, but they fight externally, but only the five schools of the Northern Army and Yulin ride left and right, and in peacetime, they can also deter the world, but now there is a hidden self-respecting appearance in various places, only with these soldiers and horses, it is too thin, and I am preparing to set up eight more schools in the West Garden." Liu Hong took out a booklet from the bookshelf and handed it to Ye Zhao.

Although Hanzhong's plan ended in failure, paper books were used more frequently by Liu Hong, and Liu Hong would first find a book to write some official edicts on weekdays, and only after making sure that they were correct, would he transcribe the edicts.

West Park Eight Schools?

Ye Zhao opened the book and carefully browsed it, Liu Hong set up a new army this time, preparing to recruit 30,000 recruits into the army and form eight schools, but not the 30,000 new troops were evenly distributed, the eight schools in the West Park sounded the same name, but there were superior and inferior, for example, the captain of the army could lead the soldiers and horses of the three schools, and the rest of the captains, the commander strength was also different, the lowest assistant lieutenant had only two soldiers and horses under his command.

Although the number of commanders is the same, the number of commanders is different, so it is natural to distinguish between superior and inferior.

"Your Majesty's book, although it is quite perfect, but who will be used for the position of captain, I don't know if Your Majesty has a suitable candidate in mind?" Ye Zhao frowned and looked at Liu Hong, once these 30,000 horses are erected, He Jin's influence and deterrence in the court will probably be much worse than before, no matter how stupid He Jin is? Would you give up military power so easily? Moreover, does Liu Hong have enough talent in his hands to help him control the new army?

Ye Zhao felt that Liu Hong's plan was right, but it was too urgent.

"I'm thinking about that, too." Liu Hong sighed, sat down, looked at Ye Zhao and said, "I plan to use Qian Man as the captain of the military academy." ”

The captain of the military academy, not only has the most soldiers and horses, but also has the right to control the eight schools, and he does need a confidant to command, Qianman is among the eunuchs around Liu Hong, not greedy for money, not a party, although he is ranked among the top ten permanent servants, but he is different from Zhang Rang and others, no wonder Liu Hong chose him, just ......

The origin of the eunuchs is a big question after all, and does Qianman have the ability to restrain the new army? Who should be in charge of the other seven schools?

Ye Zhao frowned and thought for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Hong staring at him with his eyes.

Ye Zhao was shocked in his heart, and then he reacted, Liu Hong didn't really ask his opinion, but told him that he wanted to help Qian Man take the position, and he recruited Ye Zhao to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhao had a bottom in his heart, and nodded immediately: "Qian Man is His Majesty's henchman, and he will be the captain of the military academy, so that His Majesty can directly mobilize the new army at any time, and the minister also thinks that General Qian Man is quite suitable, but the general is afraid that he will use this as an excuse to reach out to the new army." ”

"How dare he!?" Liu Hong snorted coldly, but he also knew that what Ye Zhao said was probably not bad, he was squeezing He Jin's strength a little bit, and the captain of the military academy directly obeyed Liu Xie's orders, and was not controlled by the general, and He Jin was a general, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, but the 30,000 new army was not controlled by the general, and the general was in name only, He Jin now holds great power, one person is above ten thousand people, how can he let it go, not to mention Qianman's background, it is indeed a problem, and it is difficult to convince the public.

"Do you have a good plan?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhaodao.

"Of the seven captains, Your Majesty can choose one or two scholars to come in in exchange for the support of the scholars, but the rest of the captains must be loyal to Your Majesty and be able to help General Qianman stabilize the new army." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Aiqing thinks, who can be appointed?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and asked again.

Ye Zhao frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Feng Fang, the Lang Lang, and Zhao Rong, the general of Dangkou, can enter the Seventh School. ”

Liu Hong frowned when he heard this: "Zhao Rong is okay, but Feng Fang is ......"

Feng Fang's official reputation is not good, the former celebrity Huan Bin was rude to him, held a grudge, and secretly used his connections to frame him to death, and because of this, Feng Fang's official reputation in Luoyang was very poor, and he was abandoned by the scholars.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "What Your Majesty needs is someone who can be loyal to Your Majesty, as for the official reputation, it doesn't matter to Your Majesty, and the minister thinks that it is precisely because this person's official reputation is not good, and he is often spurned by scholars, so this person will definitely hold a grudge, plus he is Cao Jie's son-in-law, so he is naturally more friendly and good, and therefore, although he is spurned by scholars, His Majesty can use him with confidence." ”

Liu Hong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What Qing said is very true, since this is the case, let these two people be the lieutenants of the military academy, what other suggestions does Qing have?" ”

"The minister doesn't know much about the ministers in the court, and he can only nominate these two people for His Majesty, as for the rest, the minister doesn't dare to say anything." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, isn't Cao Cao also a eunuch?" Zhang Rang on the side smiled and said: "And the old slave heard that General Cao's skills are not low, why didn't Wei Wei mention this person?" ”

"Cao Cao?" Liu Hong sounded a little familiar, reacted after a while, nodded and said, "I also know this person, what does Ye Qing think?" ”

Ye Zhao said: "Meng De's talent is not under Zhao, but Meng De has a lot of friendship with the minister, in order to avoid suspicion, the minister is not good to recommend to His Majesty." ”

"Ye Qing is too worried, am I an unreasonable person? Besides, Juxian does not avoid relatives, Ye Qing is sometimes too careful. Liu Hong smiled: "Then leave Cao Cao a captain, as for the rest...... Let's discuss with the ministers of the DPRK and China, Ye Qing will go back first, the wedding date will be sent to your mansion in a few days, you should prepare early, my princess will get married, can you weaken your momentum? ”

"Oh, the minister is leaving!"
