Chapter 235: Confrontation in the court
"Please discuss the reform of the military system!"
Ru Yu's last sentence was like a signal flare to launch an action, officially igniting the struggle between the annihilation party and Qingliu.
The Manchu civil and military forces were shocked and in an uproar.
Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, was also frightened, he always knew that Xiao Fan had the idea of reforming the military system, although Zhu Yunwen supported it in his heart, but there were too many stubborn and conservative ministers in the DPRK, and it was foreseeable that the opposition would be very loud, as a great tomorrow, Zhu Yunwen suffered from being on the throne for less than a year, and the foundation of the DPRK and China was unstable.
However, Zhu Yunwen was also full of expectations about how Xiao Fan would resolve the opposition of the courtiers and smoothly implement his reform proposals.
With Xiao Fan's unpredictable style, no one knows how he will start this seemingly difficult and resistant reform.
Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that Xiao Fan would kick off the prelude to the reform of the military system with such an opening remark.
What will Xiao Fan do next? Qingliu will not sit idly by and watch the situation continue in this way, and anyone with a little political acumen can understand that the consequences of the military reform will inevitably change the tradition of the court valuing civil affairs over military force, and the status of military generals will be greatly improved, while on the contrary, the status of civil servants will slowly decline.
A piece of the cake of power is so big, the generals have eaten more, and the ministers are bound to have to eat less, and the reform of the military system is tantamount to an open declaration of war on the interests of the Wenchen group.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen's heart is extremely complicated, not only looking forward to Xiao Fan's next move, but also faintly having doubts about the reform of the military system, he has grown up, he already knows how to read and think, and knows how to look at state affairs objectively and fairly. Standing in the position of a young emperor who did not have much experience, he did not have much confidence in Xiao Fan's reforms.
However, he also understood that the imperial court was now suffering from internal and external troubles, and if he wanted to sweep away these troubles and realize his ambition of building a prosperous era of Jianwen, reforming the military system was a must.
Raising his eyes and quickly looking around at the ministers, Zhu Yunwen saw everyone's shocked or stunned reactions, coughed dryly and said, "Ru Shangshu, you just said that you should reform the military system?" This one...... Is there a specific clause? ”
The noisy ministers of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly fell silent, and they all stared at Ru Yu in the middle of the Golden Palace.
Ru Yu's expression remained unchanged, the chubby old face had a simple smile, holding the ivory board and laughing: "The chaos of the Ming military system is not overnight, because there has been no war in recent years, the officers and soldiers in the army are slack and lazy, and the soldiers who have experience in the battle formation are old or deceased, but their descendants are all young people who have not been warned, these military households are replaced by the army, in fact, they are just some farmers who have picked up the sword, no morale, no skills, no experience, the most worrying thing is that none of them can lead them, Train their generals, can such an army expect them to fight well? Therefore, if you want to strengthen the country, you must strengthen the army, if you want to strengthen the army, you must strengthen the army, and if you want to strengthen the army, you must choose the general...... The old minister's rule is: build armaments, build firearms, open martial arts, and build military schools! ”
When the specific provisions for reforming the military system were stated, there was another uproar in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
The annihilators are here prepared, is Xiao Fan going to start launching?
As soon as Ru Yu's words fell, an angry voice came from among the courtiers.
"Nonsense!"
The ministers looked at it in amazement, but saw Yushi Huangguan, who was standing at the back of the court, walking out of the class with an ivory board in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he stared at Ru Yu with an iron-blue expression, and his eyes were about to erupt fire.
Seeing that Huang Guan stood up to oppose it, Ru Yu was not surprised at all, and still laughed and said, "Lord Huang has a high opinion? ”
Huang Guan snorted coldly: "Ru Shangshu, do you want to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Ru Yu was stunned and said, "Why did Lord Huang say this? ”
"The first emperor to set the country, after several wars, and finally to Ding Ming Dynasty, to create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, the beginning of the prosperous era, when it is necessary to suppress killing, advocate civil governance, so that the people recuperate, these words are often mentioned to the ministers when the emperor is alive, now the first emperor is not far away, you actually advocate overthrowing the last words of the emperor, what to reform the military system, although once the son of heaven and a courtier, but you Ru Shangshu is a Hongwu old minister, the makeover is too fast, right? Are you worthy of the Emperor's grace? Worthy of the black yarn on top of your head? Raising troops for no reason, aren't you afraid that the people of the world will poke you in the back? ”
After Huang Guan finished speaking, many ministers among the courtiers stood up and bowed down and said: "The ministers seconded Lord Huang's view, the reform of the military system is against the ancestral system, and it is a great rebellion, and Your Majesty must not agree!" ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and there was a buzz in the court.
Ru Yu smiled and said: "My colleagues have misunderstood the old man, the reform of the military system is intended to strengthen the army and the country, not to raise troops and deploy troops, and the old man is not to overthrow the legacy of the first emperor, you are all Hongwu old ministers, have you ever remembered the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" issued by the first emperor? The "Precepts Chapter" of the "Emperor's Ancestral Teachings" says: "All the four sides are limited to mountains and seas, and they are isolated in a corner, and their land is not enough to supply, and their people are not enough to make orders." If he doesn't think about it and comes to disturb me, then he is ominous. He is not a problem for China, and it is also ominous for me to raise troops and commit minor offenses. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for a moment of military exploits, raise troops for no reason, and kill and injure people's lives. However, Hu Rong has a close border with China, and in wars for many generations, he must choose generals to train his troops and be on guard at all times. ’…… Colleagues, "Emperor Ming Zuxun" said clearly, in order to prevent Hu Rong, the general must be selected to train the army, when the guard is on guard, the old man proposed to reform the military system, it is precisely for the country to elect generals, dare to ask you, what is wrong with the old man? ”
Huang Guan and several Qingliu ministers behind him were suddenly speechless.
Now that the preparations for the annihilation of the party are really sufficient, they have even moved out the "Emperor's Ancestral Teachings", is it true that the reform of the military system is allowed to be carried out by them?
Huang Guan gritted his teeth and said: "Since ancient times, fighting the country with martial arts, guarding the country with literature, this is the same truth through the ages, the first emperor said that the selection of generals and training is to prevent the northern Tartars, and you Ru Shangshu reformed the military system, is to overthrow the legacy of the first emperor, the two are completely different, you are confusing the Son of Heaven and the minister's audio-visual!" Ru Shangshu not only brought out the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", but the lower officials also remembered a sentence in the "Huang Ming Zu Xun" here...... "
Ru Yu was stunned and said, "What words?" ”
Huang Guan stared at Ru Yu and said word by word: "The first emperor has already said in the prologue of "Emperor Ming Zu Xun": 'All my descendants, admire my life, do not do wisdom, mess with my established law, not a word can be changed'! Ru Shangshu, I don't know if you remember this sentence? ”
The smile on Ru Yu's face gradually froze, and her chubby face sweated slightly.
Both sides tried to overwhelm each other with the ancestral system, but now it seems that the ancestral system cannot convince either side at all, Ru Yu and Huang Guan have their own reasons, and the-for-tat confrontation in the court has reached a stalemate between a few words.
Zhu Yunwen looked left and right, feeling quite novel, and seeing that the two of them were silent, he couldn't help urging: "You go on, is this reform of the military system feasible or not?" ”
"Feasible!"
"Not feasible!"
The two of them replied sharply at the same time, and then the two of them shook their eyes and glared at each other.
Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes, then cleared his throat, and said: "The matter of reforming the military system is related to my Ming Dynasty and society, and it should not be decided rashly. ”
The ministers hurriedly bowed down and said in unison: "Obey." ”
Everyone understands the meaning of Zhu Yunwen's words, the two sides competed, Zhu Yunwen, as the referee, called a timeout, everyone went back to rest and rest, and then started the second game after three days.
Ru Yu and Huang Guan glared angrily, then snorted fiercely in unison, flicked the sleeves of their robes, and stood back to the court.
Zhu Yunwen looked at everyone's demeanor, a smile flashed in his eyes, and while everyone was still thinking about how to deal with the reform debate after three days, Zhu Yunwen threw out some words lightly.
"Beiping Yan Wang's report has arrived in Beijing, Yan Wang on the report on the day of the patrol hunting, Jinyi Wei commanded Xiao Fan to praise it, saying that Xiao Fan fought against the Tartars outside the Shanhai Pass, the lonely army went deep into the grassland, made a big fuss about the Tartar camp, killed several Tartar captains and thousands, and led the main army of the Tartars into the ambush and killing array of the Yan King, and made the first contribution to this battle. I am newly established, when the rewards and punishments are clear, therefore, I order: Cheng Yi Bo, Jin Yi Wei commanded Xiao Fan, out of the north to patrol the northern border, fight against the Tartars, live up to the mission, win glory for the court, specially promoted to the title of Cheng Yi Bo Xiao Fan, Cheng Yi Bo Jin Jue first-class Cheng Yi Marquis, issued coupons, hereditary replacement, the original Jin Yi Wei commander made his position unchanged, the decree was announced to the world, and the salty envoy heard it. ”
"Huh? This ......" Zhong Qingliu was dumbfounded.
The military department Shangshu Ruyu hurriedly shouted: "My emperor is wise! ”
All the members of the Annihilation Party also hurriedly echoed in unison, everyone had a happy expression, their interests with Xiao Fan were both prosperous, Xiao Fan was promoted to the knight, which shows that the Son of Heaven favors him and is very happy to see it.
And the ministers of Qingliu stood in the middle of the court class with an iron face, silent for a long time, and wanted to speak out against it, but they couldn't think of a reason for it, the merits of others were clearly there, and the three thousand lonely soldiers went deep into the grassland to make such a great contribution, this is evidence-based, what reason did they take to oppose it?
Just when the Qingliu ministers were full of anger and couldn't vent it, Zhu Yunwen threw out another sentence.
"The matter of reforming the military system is very important, and it cannot be decided in a word, I decided to hold a big court meeting in Fengtian Hall after three days, and all those who have made meritorious contributions in Beijing and above are required to enter the court to participate in the court meeting, and there must be no mistake, well, this is how the court will be, retreat from the court."
After speaking, Zhu Yunwen didn't wait for the hundred officials to salute, so he flicked the sleeves of his robe, his figure flashed, and went to the Huagai Hall behind the Fengtian Hall to change his clothes.
Huang Guan and the others stood in the hall, their faces becoming more and more ugly.
Those who are above the rank of marquis participate in the court...... That is to say, Xiao Fan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was originally not qualified to go to the court, with the title of marquis who had just been promoted, was bound to participate in the early dynasty and participate in the court discussion of reforming the military system...... Huang Guan looked up to the sky and sighed angrily.
The Son of Heaven ...... He blows the black whistle!
The inner hall of the Xiao Mansion.
After the annihilation of the party dispersed, they gathered together again to congratulate Xiao Fan, who had just been promoted to the Marquis of Chengyi.
Xiao Fan was full of joy, still humbly saluted one by one, and after a lot of commotion, everyone sat down and began to talk about business.
"That is to say, the early dynasty of today has been stalemate until the retreat? You didn't win at all? Xiao Fan held the teacup and asked slowly.
Ru Yu, Qi Tai and Xie Jin and others all showed shame.
"The old man was ashamed, he thought that he could overwhelm them with the ancestral system by moving out of the emperor's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", but Huang Guan also turned out a sentence in the ancestral training and restrained the old man...... Ru Yu said with a shameful face.
Xiao Fan smiled: "Lord Ru doesn't have to blame himself, reform and change of the law has always been a major event in the imperial court, it is impossible to decide with a few words from you, it is normal to have no result for the first time." ”
Ru Yu sighed and said: "Today, there is no result, and the early dynasty after the third day is probably also a mess, and the noise and shouting are endless, I don't know when I will be able to overwhelm those rotten and stubborn clear streams......"
Xiao Fan smiled lightly: "Things have not yet come to an end, which means that we still have a chance, before the victory or defeat is revealed, adults must not lose confidence." Well, there is a way, there is a ......"
"Does Lord Xiao have a good plan?" Everyone stared at Xiao Fan expectantly.
Xiao Fan rubbed his nose and said, "I'm very busy now, I can't think of a good way for the time being......"
Ru Yu was stunned and said, "What are you busy with?" ”
"I'm busy thinking about how to get the Son of Heaven to sleep with Huang Guan's sister......"
Everyone shook their heads, and then gritted their teeth and praised: "Good! He should have slept with his sister a long time ago! ”
The five waves mantra naturally has its wonderful use, and if the pickle girl is used well, it will be invincible.
It turns out that Zhu Yunwen is too innocent, and he has the theoretical knowledge of the mantra full of five waves, but he has never had the opportunity to put it into practice, because he has never been able to find the opportunity, he doesn't know when Huang Ying will go out, and the romantic idea of sprinkling petal rain until now,...... It's still just an idea.
Xiao Fan was angry, this guy is cowardly as an emperor, and he is also cowardly when he pickles a girl, you are a dignified emperor, and you can't even grasp when an ordinary woman goes out, so it's better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.
While being angry, Xiao Fan could only do his best to help him again, a stupid person's side must be matched with a smart person, this is no way.
So the commander of Jinyiwei gave an order, and the Jinyiwei secret agent lurking in Huang Guanfu began to do his job, hiding under the windowsill of Miss Huang's boudoir every day to listen to the root of the wall.
Like fighting, pickling girls also need intelligence, and Xiao Fan, who came from his previous life, deeply understands the important surname of intelligence work.
The spy who listened to the root of the wall quickly heard important information.
This afternoon, the eldest lady of the Huang family is going out to burn incense and worship the Buddha at the Banshan Temple in the east of the city.
Jinyiwei activated the post pigeon when transmitting urgent and important information, and this information flew to the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Si Yamen outside the Chengtian Gate after half a pillar of incense.
After receiving the post pigeon, the captain hurriedly reported to Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan hurriedly ordered someone to enter the palace to inform Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard the news, and left the palace in civilian clothes, and broke into the Yamen of Jinyi Wei Town.
"Xiao Shi read...... Don't say anything, benefactor! Zhu Yunwen was grateful, grabbed Xiao Fan's hand and shook it, his eyes flashing with tears.
"Your Majesty...... Don't say anything, you hurry up and scatter flower petals at the gate of the Huang Mansion, I used the Jinyi Guard to get the information I found out to you, and such a thing can not be repeated. Xiao Fan's eyes also flashed with crystal tears, and his face was full of pleading.
Zhu Yunwen was stunned, and then slapped his forehead violently: "Jinyiwei!" How come I didn't think of this trick! Didn't it save trouble if I knew it earlier, or Xiao Shi was smart......"
Xiao Fan sighed heavily, this guy has a tendency to develop in the direction of the faint monarch, and he is probably comparable to the glorious deeds of the princes of Zhou Youwang.
Da Ming has such an emperor, how can this be good? - Zhu Yunwen in history should not be like this, why did he fall?
It's all to blame for Huang Zicheng's old guy who taught him badly!
Huangguan Mansion is located in the north of the city, Pearl House Lane, a narrow bluestone path outside the house, facing the door of the house, there is a row of wooden teahouses and restaurants, the crowd comes and goes, quite prosperous.
Zhu Yunwen's romantic pickling action was chosen in front of the gate of Huangguan Mansion.
Before Huang Ying couldn't grasp the specific route after going out, it was really a wise choice to stay at the gate of her house, and Zhu Yunwen was rarely smart.
A group of men dressed in brocade clothes and flying fish suits quickly cleared all the teahouses and restaurants opposite the gate of the Yellow Mansion, and then more than 20 men in black clothes and short shirts each carried a flower basket full of petals, and the dexterous figure jumped lightly, and then climbed the roof of the teahouse restaurant like a civet, and then crawled on the roof motionless.
Zhu Yunwen was wearing a white Confucian shirt, Shi Shiran was sitting in the teahouse, crossing Erlang's legs, sitting hard without sitting down, holding the teacup and staring at the closed door of the Yellow Mansion, his eyebrows were full of joy.
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, the inferior and bitter taste of tea made him frown slightly, and he barely drank it with his neck tilted as if he was drinking medicine, and then put the rough teacup on the table, refusing to touch it again.
It turned out that Jinyiwei's information was very accurate, and a group of people waited for more than half an hour, and the side door of the Huang Mansion finally opened under the expectation of everyone, and two family members and a maid surrounded Huang Ying in green clothes and quietly walked out.
The small sedan chair carried by two people was already waiting at the door, and when Huang Ying came out, the sedan chair man pressed the head of the sedan chair, and bowed down to ask her to get on the sedan chair.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, he slammed the table, stood up and shouted, "Quick! Scatter the flowers! ”
The plain clothes eunuch next to him didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went upstairs to give orders.
Whew!
At the moment when Huang Ying lowered her head and prepared to enter the sedan chair, the rain of flowers fell leisurely from mid-air, fluttering from the roof to the bluestone paved street, accompanied by bursts of refreshing fragrance, everything in the world became hazy and beautiful, and the scene was extremely beautiful and moving...... Zhu Yunwen stood at the door of the teahouse, his dark eyes looked at Huang Ying, who was a little stunned and overwhelmed opposite, through the rain of petals, and his eyes showed a strong affection.
This woman, I'm going to spend my life with her...... He made a secret vow in his heart. Jiangshan and beauties, he Zhu Yunwen wants it!
Dressed up, he felt that it was time for him to play. Perhaps this rain of petals has quietly touched the softest part of Huang Ying's heart, and now is the best time to appear in front of her.
Zhu Yunwen, who was full of tender smiles, immediately changed his face as soon as he took a step out of the teahouse.
Because his sweetheart Huang Ying reacted, her reaction overwhelmed Zhu Yunwen.
Huang Ying screamed unexpectedly.
"Who? Who is littering in front of my house? Give me a dead end! Come out! Otherwise, Miss Ben will report to the official! Huang Ying crossed her waist with her right hand, looking like a big teapot, and scolded violently.
