Chapter 684: Sino-Japanese Naval Battle (6)
"Ahh Your Majesty! Since His Majesty initiated the imperial examination, there have been more and more idle gentlemen in the capital, either messing around in the Qinglou wine shop, or arguing with others, and fighting into disasters. The people of Beijing and foreign businessmen are miserable! Now is the time to take this opportunity to take a good look at it! Li Jiancheng nodded-Chang'an and Luoyang are not only prosperous, but also because they are the imperial capital and the accompanying capital, they have gathered a large number of children of the world, and these people have gathered in the Luoyang area of Chang'an for a long time. Before the formation of the imperial examination, the children of the major clans came to Chang'an to worship the famous scribes and ministers of the dynasty as masters in order to become officials, and those famous scribes and ministers, as well as the patriarchs of the big clans, all knew the virtues of these sons of the family, one by one since childhood, when they were 'quiet', cockfighting and lackeys, lingering in the flower streets and willow alleys, 'not quiet', causing trouble everywhere, bullying men and women internally, extorting money externally, and most of the murders and brawls in Chang'an and Luoyang were related to the children of these families. Therefore, those who accepted the children of the family as disciples of the current world and the ministers of the court will make it clear to the patriarchs of those families that once something happens, they will be expelled from the family immediately, and for their own future and career, these children of the family will also be relatively stopped. However, after the imperial examination began, although some children from side branches of the family went to participate in the imperial examination, most of them had a surname and were not the core. Coupled with the lack of their own culture, most of them fell to Sun Shan, and a small number of them obtained the status of the imperial examination, but also started from the bottom, many people were not angry, after being admitted to the imperial examination, most of them hung up their crowns and left, and regarded themselves as celebrities in street restaurants, these actions made Li Jiancheng feel a little disgusted. I've been looking for an opportunity to rectify these noble young masters. Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng.
"Your Majesty! The reason why the children of the Luoyang family and the officials beat each other is because these children of the family are full of food and have nothing to do on weekdays! Li Jiancheng smiled at Wei Zheng:
"Xuancheng! Will the plan be out!? ”
"Your Majesty! Haven't you been worrying about recruiting students for the Martial Arts Academy? ”
"Martial Arts Academy!" When it comes to the martial arts academy, Li Jiancheng is also frowning - after the imperial examination began, Li Jiancheng slowly took power from the civilian official group, and achieved a certain effect, and then, Li Jiancheng saw that due to Li Tang fighting everywhere, most of the grassroots officers were lost, so he remembered the military academy in later generations, and when Li Jiancheng was the prince, he set up a young guard battalion based on Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, with Feng Yi as the head of the military department. The heirs of Fang Xuanlin, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other close ministers were included in it, so as to consolidate the relationship with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other close ministers, so Li Jiancheng set up a military academy on the basis of the juvenile guard battalion, preparing to recruit ordinary people and noble children as students, once admitted, as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, after graduation, as a substitute officer, supplemented into the army. Who knows, as soon as Li Jiancheng's will came out, the major families immediately opposed it. Nominally, it is based on Sima Sui Tho's famous saying - although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike, but in fact, Li Jiancheng also knows their thoughts. The imperial examination is already collecting power from civil officials, and the family is very unwilling in their hearts, so in order to keep another way to become officials, most of the children of courtiers and nobles only know cockfighting and lackeys, and they can't do literary affairs. But the bow and horse are skilled, and during the confrontation between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, as well as the confrontation between the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the family and the courtiers and nobles sent their descendants into the army, mixed with military merits, even if it is a straw bale, there are many collateral children around them, and domestic slaves give birth to children, among which there are many people with strong martial arts. When the time comes to fight on the battlefield, he will ensure the safety of the head of the family. When the time comes, after the military merits are obtained, the children of the descendants will be transferred to local civil officials through military merits, while those children of the collateral lineage, born to domestic slaves, will stay in the army and become officers. Echoes with major families. This is also the reason why from the confrontation between the north and the south to the unification of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the emperors of successive dynasties were afraid and compromised with those big families. If the emperor is wise and ruthless, and has enough ability to rule, then the family will play a cat-and-mouse game with the emperor, and if the emperor can't control the situation, then the family will use their relationship in the army to stage a good show of 'changing the dynasty and re-establishing the emperor!' Later generations Taizu said well - power comes out of the barrel of a gun. For the sake of this last bit of authority, Li Jiancheng didn't dare to be too anxious with those big families. In the DPRK, Li Jiancheng relied on the general, Li Jing was very supportive of Li Jiancheng's suggestion - in several wars, Li Jing was also deeply troubled by the lack of grassroots officers, but even if Li Jing was highly respected, he was weak. The lieutenants under his command have different thoughts. Li Ji's wife was born in the Zheng family of Rongyang and has always had dealings with the Central Plains family. Coupled with his father's businessman, even if Li Ji became a famous military general and established outstanding feats, Li Ji always wanted to squeeze into the family. Therefore, Li Jiancheng's suggestion is also ambiguous. Wang Fubao, Hou Junji, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Xie Shufang, Cheng Yanjin and others are all consistent with this, that is, the children of the family are all some fancy, and His Majesty's so-called martial arts academy is also a fancy, and the grassroots officers are still fighting on the battlefield. Xiong Kuohai, Kuoling, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and others are supportive. It's just that the qualifications are too low, and they are all full of trivial matters, and the support for Li Jiancheng is still too low.
"Nowadays, the children of the family and the officials fight each other, and it is related to the system and authority of the imperial court, and it must be dealt with seriously! Dou Yiyi, Ouyang Zhaoshi, Yao Ranting, Huang Pu Tingyi, Mi Siyuan, Yang Yuan and others are unforgivable! Wei Zheng said as he looked at Li Jiancheng's face. Li Jiancheng was also feeling sorry for Mi Siyuan in his heart -- Mi Siyuan was the first batch of Shu children recruited by Li Jiancheng in the imperial examination, and at that time, Li Jiancheng had a very good impression of Mi Siyuan and thought that Mi Siyuan was of great use. After the turmoil of the imperial examination case stopped, Mi Siyuan did a very good job in the local area, and his political performance and reputation were very good. Li Jiancheng also very much hopes that Mi Siyuan can go on forever. If it is even possible, he can assist his son. Li Jiancheng's expression was in Wei Zheng's eyes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said at the beginning of his ascension to the throne that the mistake of virtue and politics in the previous dynasty was that he killed too many people, and His Majesty was merciful! All the ministers are obedient! Besides, Mi Siyuan is also quite accomplished as an official! It is also understandable to fight each other with Dou Yiyi, Ouyang Zhao, Yao Tingran, Huang Pu Tingyi and others, and the fathers of Dou Yiyi, Ouyang Zhaoshi, Yao Tingran, Huang Pu Tingyi and others are also people who have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. Why didn't Your Majesty take advantage of the posture of opening up the net and put them all in Liaodong, although there are only four of them, but how can his family let the four of them suffer? Bound to add retainers! Take it with your people! This is just the right way to drive the remnants of the soldiers who stay in the Youzhou area! If you don't want to go, you can enter the martial arts academy, learn the arts, and after you finish learning, you can atone for your sins! As for Mi Siyuan and Yang Yuan, hum! As officials of the imperial court, they actually beat each other in the market, which really lost the dignity of the imperial court and should be severely punished, but the talents and ethics of the two of them are still okay, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to demote these two to Liaodong, and let them participate in the placement of the people of Liaodong and the management of those children of the family, so as to make the best use of their talents! If there is anything that the minister is not considerate, please point it out to Your Majesty! Wei Zheng's plan made Li Jiancheng nod. I have to say that Wei Zheng's plan has solved some of his current problems - Liaodong is a bitter cold land in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, especially the scholars. And the disabled soldiers who stayed in Youzhou also thought so. He was born and died for the imperial court, but he was 'persecuted' by the imperial court, so he stayed in the area of the sixteen states of Youyun without leaving. Feng Deyi, Xiao Yu and others also seized such an excuse to resist Li Jiancheng's strategy and plan for themselves! If Wei Zheng's strategy can really be implemented, then, driven by the nobles, those ordinary people will also follow. The most important thing is that in the unification war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the people were displaced, but the family took the opportunity to hide a large number of people. The government could not find out the household registration of these people, and when they arrived in Liaodong, it just gave the government (especially officials like Mi Siyuan, who were born in the imperial examination and had conflicts with the aristocracy) have a chance to verify the household registration again. An imperceptible sneer appeared on the side of Li Jiancheng's mouth.
"Good! Xuan Cheng has a point! Tomorrow morning, I will announce it immediately! When it came to the morning of the next day, Li Jiancheng scolded in the court in the name of slandering the king by the children of the family, and the ministers all lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, Li Jiancheng scolded for a while, shook his head and sighed:
"Humph! My heart hurts! Since I ascended the throne, I have been tireless in the government and have not dared to slack off in the slightest! Externally, I will defend against foreign enemies and expand the territory for my Datang! However, why in the eyes of those juniors, many of my measures have become a reckless use of force, laboring the people and losing money, and besides, the court has not yet formed a public discussion, why do those people in the market immediately spread it everywhere and talk about the government in vain! Even if you have doubts in your heart, you can write to me through the government at all levels, but you don't have the discipline of the imperial court, and you can discuss the strategy of the court in a pickled and dirty place like a restaurant in the market, and you also beat the officials of the court! Isn't that a slap in the face? As soon as he heard Li Jiancheng say that someone was slapping the emperor in the face, Dou Yan, the patriarch of the Dou family, immediately trembled all over.
"Ahh Your Majesty! As the patriarch of the Dou family, the old minister has no way to educate the children of the Dou family, please forgive your majesty! As soon as they saw Dou Yan's softening, some people who wanted to exonerate Ouyang Zhao, Yao Tingran, and Huang Pu Tingyi closed their mouths. Li Jiancheng looked at Dou Yan. Publicly announced to Mingyu beside him and helped Dou Yan up.
"Of course, young man? Who can be without fault! In addition, the officials concerned, I have already disposed of it, just yesterday, I have issued an order to demote Mi Siyuan and Yang Yuan to the Sihu to join the army and Fa Cao to join the army of the Liaodong Left-behind Mansion. Commanding them to do what they will! It's just that these four Dou Yiyi, I don't think it's okay to let them go to my martial arts academy to experience and practice, and save them doing nothing all day long! Stir up trouble everywhere! Also, the same is true for officials above the sixth rank of the imperial court, and all the heirs and men in the family will enter the martial arts academy for training when they reach the age of sixteen! "As soon as I heard it, I wanted to enter the martial arts academy. The expressions of the officials present were different. Everyone knows that the Martial Arts Academy was formed on the basis of Li Jiancheng's original guard battalion. And Feng Yi, the head of the guard battalion, is a madman who doesn't recognize his six relatives, he is a soldier under him, and he has always been very strict, even if he is a disciple of the Li Tang Sect, he is ruthless! If his baby child falls into the hands of Feng Yi, he has no choice but to lose his skin. Dou Yan's mouth opened like a goldfish, but he didn't make a sound.
"Since the old man doesn't want the children of the Dou family to enter the martial arts academy, then go to Liaodong! The same goes for you! Either enter the martial arts academy, or invite yourself to go to Liaodong to settle, of course, I am in Liaodong, give you land, you can cultivate it yourself, within three years, you don't have to pay taxes to the imperial court. How the hell is it! Say something! Many of the officials remained silent. Many people secretly looked at Dou Yan. Li Jiancheng also forced his eyes on Dou Yan. Dou Yan only felt as if he had two sharp knives beside him.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! Please Your Majesty, send the four of them to Liaodong for resettlement! Li Jiancheng smiled:
"Alright! Spread my will! Dou Yiyi, Ouyang Zhaoshi, Yao Tingran, and Huang Pu Tingyi were unusual, and the Criminal Department and the Household Department immediately sent the four of them to Liaodong for resettlement! Chin this! ”
"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" At this time, a guard outside the hall shouted:
"Your Majesty! Liaodong Military News! After Li Jiancheng opened the military newspaper, he was shocked, and the military newspaper in his hand fell to the ground.
