"Greetings!" Xiao Yangzi had already strode outside the palace gate, turned around and arched his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Greetings!" The soldiers and people on both sides bowed down at the same time, and even knelt on the ground, adding a bit of tension and excitement to their voices.

The monarch of the Song Dynasty has always emphasized that the king and the people talk on an equal footing on weekdays, so there is no formal but very unique title of "official family". However, this title was continued in the Song Dynasty, to the Mongol unification of the Central Plains and Jiangnan, in order to consolidate the rule and constantly strengthen the imperial power, but also made the kneeling ritual more and more ordinary, as for the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Later Jin, making kneeling the most common etiquette, and the last backbone of the Chinese nation, finally bent in this kneeling ceremony.

Ye Yingwu was dressed in a red dragon robe with a black background, a jade sword hanging from his waist, his hands were flat in front of his chest and abdomen, he strode over, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

At that moment, Ye Yingwu didn't care about the curious glances of the people, walked straight to Jiang Hao and Yin Yu, and took a good look up and down. After all, it was summer, and even in the morning, it didn't freeze people to the point of shivering, not to mention that Jiang Hao and Yin Yu had been rushing to the battlefield for many years, and their bodies were strong, for the two of them, this guilt was actually a formality.

"This early in the morning doesn't let people sleep, what kind of trouble are you going to make? My two lovers? Ye Yingwu stood with his hands in his hands, bent down slightly and said with a smile.

Jiang Hao exhaled lightly and raised his head: "The guilty minister Jiang Hao greets Your Majesty." Your Majesty, yesterday's drill of the Tianwu Army was unsatisfactory, and the ministers did not live up to the emperor's grace. On that day, His Majesty entrusted the Tianwu Army to the minister, is to want the minister to take the Tianwu Army to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, protect the family and defend the country, who knows that several times after the three battles, the Tianwu Army has made great achievements, and has not lived up to His Majesty's expectations, so the whole army has an arrogant and lazy atmosphere, which is not noticed by the ministers, but also for the ministers' great faults, and please Your Majesty to surrender. All the blame is in the minister's body, and I hope that Your Majesty will not pursue the rest of the soldiers, they are all good men in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they have more training, they will be used by Your Majesty when they cross the river to the north in the future. ”

Before Jiang Hao's voice fell, Yin Yu also continued to say aloud, and even raised his voice a little: "All the blame lies with the last general, and the last general will live up to the position of supervisor and lead the big crime!" ”

Ye Yingwu suddenly chuckled: "You two are interesting." The people who got up in the morning brought me a guilty plea, and now they are robbing each other of their crimes. Throughout the ages, there have been those who shirk responsibility and those who rob fame, but this robbery of punishment is really rare, especially those who want to exonerate others with their own lives. ”

Hearing that Ye Yingwu's words were already full of anger, Jiang Hao and Yin Yu suddenly chuckled in their hearts, and said in unison at the moment: "Every word of what the minister said is true, please let Your Majesty know it!" ”

Ye Yingwu glanced at Jiang Hao and Yin Yu, walked straight past the two of them, and set his eyes on the first few generals of the Tianwu Army: "Your generals and supervisors say that they are to blame, what do you think?" ”

The generals immediately glanced at each other, and Zhang Wei, the commander of the First Division of the First Army, replied loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the unhealthy trend of laziness and pride is spreading in the army, and the last general and others have not noticed it. Thousands of miles of embankment, collapsed in the anthill, the last general and others were negligent in managing the soldiers under their command on weekdays, resulting in such an abrupt situation yesterday, once the war started, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, this matter should have nothing to do with the general and the supervisor, and we are willing to accept the punishment. ”

"I'm willing to accept punishment!" Behind him, the generals said loudly at the same time.

And the onlookers saw such a scene, and they also talked about it. Although they didn't know about yesterday's Luoshui military exercise, they had already figured out the beginning and end of the matter from the words and deeds of these people just now, and they were also full of curiosity about what Ye Yingwu would do.

This young and somewhat excessive, but generally recognized as the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, will attract everyone's attention wherever he goes.

Ye Yingwu sighed and looked at Zhang Wei: "If I remember correctly, Changshui (Zhang Wei's table) You have been following me since the Battle of Macheng." It turned out that it was the commander of Yuanzhou on the Jiangnan West Road, and he brought thirty or forty of his men to defect to me. ”

Ye Yingwu said carefully, such as a number of family treasures, Zhang Wei only listened to half of it, and there were already tears rolling in his eyes, he never thought that there were thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, even this division commander There are many, and His Majesty can still remember himself, and his voice became choked at the moment: "What Your Majesty said is not bad at all, I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember the origin of the last general." ”

"You started from the ten generals in the front compartment, fought Huangzhou, Suizhou, and Xiangyang, and never fell in the first battle, and worked tirelessly until the commander of the first division, it can be said that you have killed more Mongolian Tartars than I have killed myself." Ye Yingwu muttered, recalling the bloody battlefields he had walked through, but when he looked down and saw Zhang Wei stretching out his sleeve to wipe his tears, his face suddenly sank, "My Tianwu Army, bleeding and sweating without tears, has never shed horse urine for no reason, wipe it clean!" ”

"No!" Zhang Wei hurriedly wiped away his tears.

"The first division you commanded yesterday stormed the beachhead, and I watched it without falling behind, and I also watched you finally raise the flag and rush up in person to break through the beachhead defense line." Ye Yingwu's voice was not high, but the words hit Zhang Wei's heart, "But Changshui, do you know what your identity is, the commander of the first division of the first army of the Great Tomorrow Wu Army!" If a small beachhead defense line needs a division commander to lead the charge, then how many division commanders do I have in Daming, and how many army commanders do I have?! ”

Zhang Wei suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"The Tianwu Army is no longer the Tianwu Army with only two thousand people back then, and there are not only a dozen people under your command, how can you make them charge for victory, for that red banner, instead of charging for following you, this is what you have to do!" Ye Yingwu's gaze swept over Zhang Wei, and then fell on the rest of the people one by one.

The generals shivered and were silent.

"I don't want to really punish you this time, after all, all of them are killed by following my sword and fire, I am not a ruthless person, and I will not forget the friendship of the battlefield robe and the horse leather shroud." Ye Yingwu's voice was very flat, but it was like a lightning strike in every general, "Yanyun has not recovered, and the north of the river is basically in the hands of the Mongolian Tatars, you all remember to me, this battle, there are still fights!" ”

After a pause, Ye Yingwu turned around and kicked Yin Yu on the shoulder: "This battle, there are still fights!" ”

Then he took a step forward and kicked Jiang Hao on the shoulder: "This battle is not over yet, it is not your turn to be proud and loose here!" ”

Jiang Ho and Yin Yu both gritted their teeth and took a kick, and neither of them spoke.

Ye Yingwu snorted and yelled at Zhang Wei and them: "Go, help your generals and supervisors!" Take away their eyesore. are shirtless one by one, is this to show off your previous exploits, or do you want to win the favor of a few little girls?! ”

Zhang Wei wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiang Hao and Yin Yu. The two thorn strips are actually nothing to Jiang Ho and Yin Yu, who have been injured large and small, but in order to show respect for His Majesty, these two guys are still very cooperative and weakly fell into the crook of the arms of the group.

Ye Yingwu took two steps, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly turned his head to Zhang Wei, who wanted to run away, and said: "By the way, I almost forgot, I didn't ask for the guilt of Jing Jing, don't think that the review I asked for before is over, and I am not allowed to ask someone to write it on my behalf." Just today, it must be handed in! ”

Zhang Wei and the others suddenly nodded with bitter faces.

A group of big bosses who are fighting wars, it is more uncomfortable for them to write a review than to kill them, it is really better to beat them down with a military stick or even lock them up. At this time, Zhang Wei and the others even secretly envied the Shence Army and the Xuanwu Army, at least there was someone to ask for advice on this kind of thing.

Tang Zhen, the supervisor of the Shence Army, and Li Fu, the general of the Xuanwu Army, are both real civilian officials.

And Ye Yingwu walked into the palace and set his eyes on the Praetorian Guard. He knew very well that even the Tianwu army on the front line was already proud and loose, not to mention the rest of the Ming army. Maybe the Mongolia in the north no longer needs Ye Yingwu to deal with it with elites, but it doesn't mean that the Ming Dynasty doesn't need elite and loyal troops and soldiers, after all, Ye Yingwu is facing this era that has been changed beyond recognition, and he doesn't know what known and unknown threats the Ming will face.

Referring to the common practice of various countries in later generations, the best way is naturally to conduct regular drills, and it is not a drill for the emperor that the former Song Dynasty forbidden army put on a posture, but a confrontation drill with loaded guns and ammunition.

And the Praetorian Guard seems to be a good sparring partner.

Looking at the evil smile on the corner of Ye Yingwu's mouth, Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie shivered together.

――――――――――――――――――

The maid holding the tea tray cautiously walked to Ye Yingwu's table, sent the steaming bitter wine to the desk, and then bowed down, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't even notice the footsteps of these maidservants.

And Ye Yingwu's attention was not attracted by them in the slightest, and he looked at the thick basic information and draft in his hand with full attention. After calming down the affairs of the Tianwu Army, Ye Yingwu finally had the energy to spare the energy to do something more important - the reform of the civil affairs and civil service system.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Yingwu and Liang Yanwu have been busy in the past two days, after all, now that Ye Yingwu is in Luoyang, this can only be called the "line" of the Ming Dynasty. Including the three ministers of the political affairs hall and the six Shangshu, they did not accompany him, so if he wanted to distinguish the many matters of civil affairs reform one by one, he could only rely on Ye Yingwu to take Liang Yanwu and a group of staff members to discuss. These staff members are young in the end, and they have been in politics for too short a time, and they are far inferior to those officials in the political hall in terms of experience, so in fact, most of them still need Ye Yingwu and Liang Yanwu to have a headache.

However, I have to say that such a high-intensity tempering is still very beneficial to the growth of these staff. Now the officials of the DPRK and China have vaguely seen the clues, and these young aides who follow Ye Yingwu to the north and south on weekdays actually have a better understanding of the mountains and rivers, customs and policies of the Ming Dynasty than ordinary officials in the DPRK and China. They only need a longer period of political experience to fully qualify for the throne, or in other words, these Ye Yingwu's staff are the fresh blood that Ye Yingwu has prepared for the next generation of the Ming Dynasty.

The staff led by Liang Yanwu staggered around the palace hall regardless of their image, and they all had dark circles under their eyes, and they could only see how tired they were.

"Your Majesty, this is the final draft, please look at it." Liang Yanwu walked in front of Ye Yingwu strongly, Ye Yingwu nodded, stretched out his hand to take the draft, yawned and glanced at it casually, and immediately picked up the brush and signed his name at the end.

After doing this, Ye Yingwu curled up on the dragon chair and waved his hand weakly: "Let everyone rest, rest for the past two days." ”

Before Ye Yingwu finished speaking, many of the staff members below stood up one by one energetically, and threw their hands at Ye Yingwu one after another, and then turned around and ran fast, even ignoring the materials and papers in their hands flying all over the sky. The word "Xiu Mu" is like a natural sound for them, and everyone has been looking forward to these two words for a long time, and now even being able to sit on the chair in their own office and sleep well seems to be a gift from God.

And Liang Yanwu's eyelids trembled, and he basically slept for more than two hours in the past two days, and it was impossible to say that he was not sleepy.

But when he took the draft from Ye Yingwu, he still subconsciously played a clever one.

This thick draft is enough to catch up with a book of "Historical Records", densely packed with words, and it is Liang Yanwu's hard work these days. The main content of the entire draft is still the establishment of the provincial system, and there is a detailed division of the prefecture and even the township to which each province belongs, and four or five candidates for the chief officials of each province are listed for selection, and the detailed resumes of these officials and the reasons for their selection are at the back of the list. In addition, there are also development and jurisdiction strategies drafted for different provinces, as well as local garrison planning, people's livelihood and economic requirements and goals, etc., which are listed one by one, all of which are detailed and dense.

Even Zhao Yunshu would not have thought that the thin ideas and plans he saw in Ye Yingwu's study would become such a thick draft.

"Send someone to copy it as soon as possible, and then send it to Nanjing to be decided by the Political Affairs Hall, the Six Departments of the Imperial Court, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Hanlin Academy. Ye Yingwu perked up his spirit and ordered, "By the way, there is also an immediate promulgation of the holy decree in the name of me, in the next two months, the local armies of the Ming Dynasty will cooperate with the main army, and martial law will be imposed in various state capitals, and the six doors and the Jinyi Guards will all be in good spirits, and there must be no mistakes at the critical moment!" ”

A chill spread down his spine, and Liang Yanwu did not hesitate to arch his hand at the moment: "Subordinates obey the emperor's orders!" ”

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly, and subconsciously looked outside the main hall.

The period in the future is the most important and critical time, and the period of civil strife in Mongolia and the inability of the Ming Dynasty to go north is simply the time given by God to Ye Yingwu to take a breath and make drastic reforms, and Ye Yingwu naturally cannot waste it.

After all, the system handed down from the former Song Dynasty was too redundant, and the entire court of the former Song Dynasty was lifeless, and naturally no one would notice it, and now the Ming Dynasty stands in the east with a vigorous and upward attitude, expanding its territory everywhere, and the demand for officials has risen sharply, and the redundant official system of the Song Dynasty has seriously affected the management of the Ming Dynasty for the locality, especially the newly opened Nanyang and the newly recovered Heluo.

So Ye Yingwu can't do it even if he doesn't want to reform, especially now that those old and young people can't sit still, there has been a disturbance in Nanjing, who knows if it will continue to make trouble, so Ye Yingwu simply cut through the mess directly. Haven't you been speculating about what the New Deal will be, then Lao Tzu will simply open the curtain of reform!

Liang Yanwu turned around slowly, holding the draft in his hand and walked out, this is their hard work for so long, and it is also a summary of the gains and losses of the political system in China since the Qin and Han dynasties, it can be said that it embodies the blood and tears of the predecessors and the expectations of today's people.

Before Liang Yanwu left, His Majesty the Ming Emperor had already slowly leaned back in his chair.

A few waiting maids were just about to hurry forward to wait for His Majesty to rest, but they found that the young monarch had fallen asleep in this short period of time.

Snoring like thunder. (To be continued.) )
