Chapter 11: Metamorphosis

Zheng De looked at him with an unkind face when he heard this, and it was estimated that Zhu Hui would roll back before he saw the enemy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Dongyang continued unhurriedly, "The minister thinks that the current military situation is urgent, and it is taboo for soldiers to change generals in battle. Moreover, this time he just went to Xuanfu to defend the city, Zhu Hui was timid and cowardly, and he would not be greedy for merit, but he was the right person at the moment. ”

Although he felt that what Li Dongyang said was good, Zheng De was still a little uneasy, and subconsciously looked at Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who pondered for a moment and nodded approvingly, "What Elder Li Ge said is right, if Zhu Hui is as derelict as last time, he can regret his past mistakes, and the crime will be added to one degree." ”

Even his own defense minister said so, and Zheng De could only do this even if he was unwilling. If I have the right person, I will never agree with this person. It seems that the Ming Dynasty does not lack the most important things are those capable ministers and civil servants who can govern the country, and what is really lacking are those generals who can fight well.

"It seems that it is very necessary to set up a military school, and the serious problem of fugitives in the army must also be solved, otherwise it will be really sad to use soldiers at that time." Zheng De thought about it, but it was better to deal with the matter at hand, and raised his head and instructed Liu Jian, "Then Zhu Hui will be the chief military officer, and Liu Ge will draft the order." ”

"Then who will supervise the military affairs?" Liu Daxia raised a question at this time.

"Admiral? What is this role? Is it the Overseer? Zheng De was a little puzzled, of course, now is not the time to ask this. But fortunately, it was not Zhu Hui who went to Xuanfu alone, and he was a little relieved.

"Who does Liu Qing think is suitable?"

Liu Daxia thought for a while, "The right capital Yu Shi Lin can supervise military affairs. ”

"Then this person" Zheng De glanced around at everyone, "Is there anything else you need to add?" "After all, I am not familiar with the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so I still need to ask more.

Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment, and asked with a little doubt, "Doesn't the emperor send a lieutenant official to supervise the army?" ”

"Zhongguan supervises the army? Does the Ming Dynasty still need to send eunuchs to supervise the army? Zheng De was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he rejected this proposal, after all, in his impression, the eunuch is the worst thing, if he accidentally causes the loss of the Xuan Mansion, then he will not even have a place to cry at that time?

"So be it."

The ministers present looked at Zheng De with a look of surprise, and they couldn't believe that the emperor, who favored the eunuchs the most, would make the decision not to send a lieutenant official to supervise the army. This is the first time in the history of eunuchs and military supervision in the more than 100 years of the Ming Dynasty. It was also the first time that the ministers were impressed by Zheng De, is this still the emperor we know who favors eunuchs the most?

"The emperor who favors eunuchs the most?" If Zheng De knew the label that the minister had put on him, he would probably smile bitterly. I just let Liu Jin approve the red on his behalf, and he became the emperor who favored the eunuchs the most?

After receiving the two gold medals "Please Treasure" handed in by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Zheng De handed the written holy decree and the "transfer of the army to the Protector Zhu Hui, who had just come in, and the right capital Yu Shi Lin on the side. Although he was quite dissatisfied with the former, he still said to the two of them encouragingly, "Everything is entrusted to you, I am waiting for you to return triumphantly." ”

……

Back in the Qianqing Palace, Zheng De was not sleepy at all. Thinking about what happened suddenly tonight made him understand that he was not living in a peaceful and prosperous world where he could indulge in fun at will, but in a world where there was no reason to speak of and war could break out at any time.

Zheng De had such concerns before, but he didn't care. As long as you don't do anything, history may still follow the same trajectory. However, with the sudden outbreak of war, he suddenly felt that this world may not deviate from its original trajectory, after all, his own existence itself is a variable. If the outcome of the Battle of Xuanfu is detached from the original history, what will be the outcome of itself?

After coming to this world, Zheng De has always regarded himself as an outsider, sitting and watching the tide of history roll in and out, and he has a resigned attitude towards some things, and goes with the flow. I didn't want to do anything or change anything, I just wanted to eat and die for the rest of my life. It was only at this moment that he realized that he was not the so-called outsider, but the helmsman of the big ship that had slowly begun to sink gradually. If he hadn't done anything, maybe the big ship would have sunk before he died, and the outcome could be imagined.

After all, there are countless possibilities in history, especially the existence of oneself, a little butterfly that should not exist in this world, which inadvertently adds many variables. Who knows if this little wing fluttering will cause a huge historical storm and cause great changes to history? and developed in the direction of his worst assumptions, after all, he is Zheng De and not the original Zhu Houzhao. The so-called middle of the Ming Dynasty in history may also become the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he may not become the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty......

Zheng De thought a lot in the second half of the night, and it also made him really understand that he was now completely connected with the world, and it was impossible to really stay out of it. And he is also the owner of this huge empire, whether he does it or not, it affects the course of history all the time. Now that the matter has come to this, instead of eating and waiting to be passively involved in the tide of history, it is better to actively integrate into it and win a place for yourself to settle down.

Thinking of the end, he went to the Maoqin Hall to practice calligraphy again, and he was a little more serious than the previous playful mentality. In the end, I was tired and didn't want to sleep, so I looked through the music again when I was idle. Since the last Jiangnan earthquake incident, although Liu Jin is still criticizing the red, he no longer looks at some of the pieces, but will browse them all to avoid the last incident.

Qionglin Banquet? Could it be that this year is the year of the imperial examination? Zheng De looked at this note with some surprise. The Qionglin Banquet, also known as the Rong Grace Banquet, is a banquet held for the new science and technology scholars, which originated in the Song Dynasty and was called the Grace Banquet in the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the emperor would give a banquet in the palace soon after entering the Shidenke, but unfortunately it was just in time for the death of the emperor, so it was naturally postponed indefinitely.

"If it's the year of the imperial examination, I don't know if I can find some talents for my use?" Looking at this recital, Zheng De thought of it, and instructed Wang Yue, who was still sitting with him, "Wang Yue, give me the list of Jinshi in this year's imperial examination." ”

Taking the list handed over by Wang Yue, Zheng De glanced at him, it was not easy to use the search system with him, and he also stayed up all night with him, "You are also tired all night, go back and rest." ”

Seeing that the emperor cared so much about him, Wang Yue was quite moved and said, "Long live Xie Ye cares, and the slaves are not tired." ”

"Whatever you want, I don't need anyone to serve here, go out!" Zheng De waved his hand, and he was not reluctant, he was not a person who liked to force people.

"The slave is waiting outside the palace, and if you need your majesty to call it, you can call it." Wang Yue retreated and carefully closed the door.

Zheng De nodded, and after seeing him go out, he stretched out his left hand and clicked on the search system.

"Champion Gu Dingchen, Bangyan Dong Xi, Tanhua Xie Pi...... There is no historical figure I am familiar with. Zheng De shook his head, and then laughed self-deprecatingly. There are not many well-known historical figures in history, and there are only a few dozen people in a dynasty, so how can they be encountered casually in one imperial examination.

Zheng De smiled, and wrote the name "Gu Dingchen" with his fingers in the palm of his hand, and the name "Gu Dingchen" also appeared in the search bar of the virtual screen with his fingers, which looked very magical.

A page pops up.

Gu Dingchen

Highest official position: Ming Dynasty Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar

Competency Rating: Grade C

Systematic review: Qingzi Prime Minister, not enough to comment

After that, a biography was attached. After reading it, Zheng De also found that Gu Dingchen has been an official for decades, and his political achievements are really lackluster. Besides, although he entered the cabinet by writing green words, he is still an upright person, which is also a bit harsh. However, Zheng De is no longer surprised by this, most of the evaluations of this system are sneering, and if he sees it, he will probably jump up angrily.

Zheng De then entered the names of "Dong Xi and Xie Pi".

Dong Xi

The highest official position: the left squire of the Ministry of Officials

Competency Rating: C

Systematic review: mediocre people, not enough to be rated

Xie Pi

The highest official position: the left squire of the Ministry of Officials

Competency Rating: Grade C

Systematic Review: Incompetent, not enough to be rated

The ability ratings of the first three people are all the lowest C, which is really unexpected by Zheng De. shook his head helplessly, sure enough, the eight shares killed people, and even a real talent was not selected. Just when Zheng De was already hopeless, and almost wanted to give up, he accidentally found a familiar name in Erjia.

"Yan Song"

Zheng De smiled bitterly when he saw this, he is really a historical celebrity! Not only the Ming Dynasty but also a famous traitor in history, Zheng De took a look at the system's evaluation of him.

Yan Song

Highest official position: Young Master and Scholar of the Hua Gai Temple

Competency Rating: B

Systematic evaluation: A generation of traitors, ashamed of being judged

Sure enough, the evaluation of the system is as sharp as usual, but the B-level ability rating is not bad, after all, there are only a dozen people in the entire imperial court. However, the high position corresponding to his cabinet chief assistant seems to be a little incompetent, coupled with his notorious traitorous status, Zheng De is not interested in him.

It took Zheng De a morning to search all the people on this list, except for those who did not find this person, most of them were unknown in history, but they also found a few talents, and their ability ratings reached B or above.

Zhai Luan is another historical figure who has served as the first assistant of the cabinet. It is also surprising that one imperial examination can produce two cabinet chiefs and assistants. Although the ability rating is only B, and he has not made much achievements in history, at least his character is much better than Yan Song.

Cai Tianyou, although he is unknown in history, he has also made great achievements during his official period, and the system has given a B-level ability rating to affirm. Of course, this scientific examination also allowed him to break a record, and he was the oldest jinshi in this imperial examination. Zheng De, who is sixty-five years old, also has twitching corners of his mouth, although he finally lived to be ninety-five years old, but how to arrange it is also a headache for Zheng De.

Zhan Ruoshui, a philosopher, educator, and calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty, once burned the road guide in order to study, and he was also a person with great personality. Although it has a B rating, it is clearly not because of its political ability.

Xu Zhenqing, one of the four talents of Wuzhong. This person's ability is only C-level, and what caught Zheng De's attention was his life introduction. After reading his life, Zheng De finally knew who he was. is the one I often saw on TV before, and Tang Yin, Zhu Yunming, and Wen Zhengming are collectively known as the four great talents in Jiangnan, but in reality, this person is not as handsome and chic as shown on TV. And because of his ugliness, he was defeated as a Gujishi, which can be described as a tragedy.

Gu Yingxiang, the official to the Nanjing Military Department. Although the ability rating is only B, it is extremely rich in life history, and his ability should be above Yan Song and Zhai Luan.

Hu Lian, this person is completely unexpected, and he is also the person Zheng De cares about the most. The ability rating has reached A, and the systematic evaluation is finally no longer cynical, but that it is Yunwen Yunwu, brave and brave, especially elite and talented. And the introduction of his life is even more eye-catching, which is completely worthy of his evaluation of Yunwen and Yunwu.

"I finally got a harvest, and it was not in vain that I spent a morning researching information." Zheng De put down the list in his hand, clicked on the black mole in his hand, and the virtual screen disappeared in an instant. Although this golden finger has no other functions except for checking information, Zheng De is still satisfied. After all, for a country that needs to rise, talent is the most important thing.
