Chapter 325: Plan Ahead
(
In Li Yuntian's view, the King of Han can be said to be born at the wrong time, if he is facing the indecisive Emperor Jianwen, then there is a chance that he will inherit the unification like Emperor Yongle.
It is a pity that the opponent of the Han King was Emperor Xuande, who had followed Emperor Yongle since childhood, although Emperor Xuande was as young as Emperor Jianwen, but he was deeply influenced by Emperor Yongle, with a cool head, excellent strategy and decisive decision.
In order to deal with the Han king, Emperor Xuande adopted a strategy of wanting to capture the Han king, inducing him to rebel against the "chaos", and then annihilate him in one fell swoop, completely eliminating this important hidden danger that threatens the imperial power.
Because Emperor Xuande approved all the requests of the Han King, and showed great respect for the Han King in his words and deeds, this made the Han King a little fluttering and acted more and more unscrupulously.
Li Yuntian knew that King Han had been planning in Le'an all these years, and now he could be said to have everything ready, only the east wind was owed, and he could raise troops to rebel at any time.
At that time, these students of the lecture hall will definitely go into battle to experience the complexity and cruelty of war.
After returning to the lecture hall in the evening, the two deputy chief instructors handed over the assessment results to Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian was pleased that all the preparatory students in the lecture hall, including Zhang Heng, had passed the assessment, and none of them were eliminated.
So, the next morning, a ceremony was held in the auditorium of the lecture hall, and the preparatory students received the red "color" epaulettes from Li Yuntian and other instructors, which meant that they officially became the students of the lecture hall.
Li Yuntian personally handed over the red "color" shoulder tag to Zhang Heng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. [32215671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 322 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 325
It seems that Zhang Heng did not live up to his hard work and made the most correct choice in his life, and with Zhang Heng's strength, he will definitely have a great deed in the army in the future.
Zhang Heng's decision of the seven people also enabled Nanjing Guozijian to be written into the school history of the lecture martial arts, otherwise, there would be no supervisors of Nanjing Guozijian among the first students of the Jingshi lecture martial arts, which is undoubtedly a huge pity.
Since Li Yuntian was happy, then one of the directors of Nanjing Guozijian who came to the capital to pick up Zhang Heng's seven people was depressed, and Nanjing Guozijian was worried that Li Yun would not let him go, so he specially asked one of Guozijian's directors to come to Beijing with Li Yuntian's guarantee, waiting to take Zhang Heng's seven people back to Nanjing to participate in the Nanzhili Township Test held in Nanjing City in August.
Knowing that Zhang Heng and the seven people were going to stay in the lecture hall, the Si Ye was very surprised, to be honest, he looked down on those vulgar military attachés, and couldn't understand why Zhang Heng and the seven people wanted to join the Rong, could it be that they were threatened by Li Yuntian.
Later, after getting along with Zhang Heng and the seven people, the Si Ye realized that this was their own choice, because in their opinion, they could learn a lot of unusual knowledge in the martial arts hall, and they spoke highly of the martial arts hall.
Since this was the decision of Zhang Heng's seven people, the secretary of Nanjing Guozijian had no choice but to leave with a gloomy expression, he wanted to know what ** 'medicine' Li Yuntian poured into Zhang Heng's seven people, which made Zhang Heng's seven people have a 180-degree change in just over three months.
Li Yuntian gave a gift to the students, and the students were given a well-made goose "hair" pen, which could write sixty or seventy words in one breath as long as it was dipped in ink, which was much more convenient than a "hair" pen.
In order to improve the efficiency of teaching, the students of the lecture hall will take the easy-to-carry and easy-to-use goose "hair" pen as the main recording tool, and the "hair" pen becomes an auxiliary recording tool, which is the biggest difference between the lecture hall and other official schools in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also an unprecedented change.
As soon as this change was announced, it was immediately criticized by the outside world, and no one thought that Li Yuntian would be so bold and abandon the "hair" pen handed down by his ancestors.
Li Yuntian withstood the pressure and resolutely promoted the use of goose "feather" pens in the lecture hall, in his opinion, the goose "feather" pen was more suitable for the teaching of the lecture hall.
At the same time as the first batch of formal students were ushered in in the lecture hall, an important event also happened in the capital, to be precise, a major event occurred in the palace that triggered the later political pattern of the dynasty: Emperor Xuande set up an inner study hall in the palace.
The so-called inner study hall refers to a place dedicated to teaching young inner servants to read.
During the period of Emperor Hongwu, in order to prevent the internal servants from interfering in the government, Emperor Hongwu forbade the internal servants to be literate, and later set up the internal officials to supervise the books, and the books were in charge of the books.
During the time of Emperor Yongle, Emperor Yongle began to order instructors to enter the palace to teach internal officials, and some of the attendants began to read and learn characters.
After the establishment of the Inner Book Hall, Liu Wei, the director of the Xuande Emperor's Reform Department, revised it for Hanlin, and specially awarded the book of small internal envoys, and nearly 300 people were selected to enter the inner envoy who was about ten years old. [32215671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 322 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 325
Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly after learning the news, it seems that what he has been worried about is inevitable to happen, the young Emperor Xuande is tired of dealing with the mountains of official documents every day, and secondly, he has felt a little powerless in the face of those respected veterans and nobles in the court.
Since ancient times, no matter how harmonious the monarch and the minister are, the monarch and the subject power have always been a pair of three-dimensional.
Throughout the dynasties, all of them are strong and weak, or weak and strong.
Emperor Xuande's prestige was not enough to deter those important ministers in the court, which made the monarch's power weakened inadvertently, and the decision-making power of government affairs gradually shifted to those important ministers in the court.
In order to strengthen the monarch's power and avoid being overshadowed by his courtiers, Emperor Xuande needed someone to help him deal with those powerful ministers in the court, and the only one who met this condition was undoubtedly the palace attendants.
Since the time of the Yongle Emperor, the chamberlain has been reused, assigned to the local area to supervise military affairs, and is known as the town guard lieutenant.
By the time of Emperor Hongxi, the status of those who were sent out to supervise military affairs was further improved, and they were promoted from lieutenant officials to eunuchs and became town guard eunuchs.
Emperor Xuande undoubtedly ushered in a new era for the Ming Dynasty's chamberlains, so that the chamberlains began to receive the same education as civil officials, in order to help him share future government affairs, as well as to confront the civil and military ministers of the court, and maintain the dominance of the monarchy.
Since then, the internal officials have begun to understand the literature and ink, and the celebrant has also risen with it.
All the daily documents, except for the recital approved by Emperor Xuande's imperial pen, the rest are written by the eunuch in accordance with the cabinet vote, approved with a red pen, and then handed over to the eunuch to proofread and use the seal, gradually competing with the outer court.
The inner study hall was built by Emperor Xuande's imperial order, Li Yuntian naturally couldn't interfere, and the martial arts hall was not on the right track now, he was busy talking about the affairs of the martial arts hall all day long, and he didn't even care about the affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate and Wenyuan Pavilion, where did he have time to pay attention to the affairs of the inner study hall.
Strangely, although Emperor Xuande's move violated the ancestral precept of Emperor Hongwu's inner servants and the harem not to interfere in politics, no one in the court objected.
Perhaps since Emperor Yongle sent his chamberlain to the local area to serve as a lieutenant guard, this ancestral precept has existed in name only, and the ministers of the court have acquiesced to this fact.
One day in mid-July, the Wutang arrow "shooting" field.
The archery shooting range is divided into four shooting ranges, southeast, northwest and northwest, each with 15 targets, which can accommodate more than 200 people for training at the same time.
At this time, a large group of students was taking an archery class, each carrying a crossbow in their hands, and "shooting" arrows at the arrow target one by one according to the order, and after more than three months of training, the students were able to "shoot" the arrow target in the distance.
Since Li Yuntian had a soft spot for crossbows, he transferred hundreds of new crossbows from the treasury of the military department in the name of the martial arts hall and gave one to each student.
Accompanied by several instructors, Li Yuntian came to the arrow "shooting" field, and looked at the students in the practice nodding their heads from time to time, according to this progress, the students of the martial arts hall will be able to practice a good "shooting" technique in one year.
"Go, hang up the officer's clothes." When he walked to the shooting range in the east, Li Yuntian suddenly remembered something, so he took off his military uniform, pointed to the target in the middle of the shooting range, and said to a tall instructor behind him.
When the instructor heard this, he immediately ran over and put Li Yuntian's military uniform on the target.
"Now, listen to my command, target the target in the middle." Li Yuntian glanced at the military uniform on the arrow target, and raised his right hand at the student standing in the "shooting" position.
Seeing this, the students couldn't help but look at each other, slowly raised the crossbow in their hands, and aimed at the arrow target with Li Yuntian's military uniform in the middle nervously.
The students in the back of the line all had surprised expressions on their faces, according to the regulations of the martial arts hall, Li Yuntian's military uniform represented Li Yuntian, could it be that Li Yuntian wanted those crossbowmen to "shoot" the military uniform? For those crossbowmen, this was a mortal sin.
"'Shoot'!" After the trainee holding the crossbow was ready, Li Yuntian suddenly put down his right hand and let out a deep sigh in his mouth.
Whoosh, fifteen crossbow arrows "shot" out in unison, and under the gaze of the people, they avoided the arrow target in the middle one after another, and "shot" on the earthen wall behind, none of them hit.
Judging from the results alone, this situation is undoubtedly shocking, but who would dare to "shoot" an arrow at the chief instructor's uniform?
"If you continue to use this kind of archery next time, the official will kick you out of the martial arts hall, you can afford to lose this person, and the official and the martial arts hall can't afford to lose this person."
Li Yuntian knew that those students had concerns in their hearts, and after glancing at the empty arrow target, he said to them in a deep voice, "Do you know what a military order is?" This official will give you another chance, if anyone can't 'shoot' the target, then this official doesn't think it's suitable to stay in the lecture hall. ”
The trainees with crossbows looked at each other for a moment, then reinstalled the crossbow arrows, raised the crossbow and aimed at the target in the middle.
"'Shoot'!" Li Yuntian glanced at the nervous students and gave an order in a loud voice.
Plop Plop Plop ......
With a faint sound coming from the arrow target, all fifteen crossbow arrows were "shot" on it, leaving fifteen holes in Li Yuntian's military uniform, if Li Yuntian was wearing a military uniform at this time, he would definitely be too dead to die anymore.
"You have to remember that you are a sword in the hands of the emperor, as long as the emperor orders, including this official, anyone can become the target of your attack, and you must not hesitate to carry out the emperor's decree, only in this way can I have peace and stability for a long time!"
Li Yuntian glanced at the arrow target, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the row of students who were "shooting" arrows and said in a deep voice, "This official hopes that you will keep in mind that the king's order is like a mountain, and the order is forbidden!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yuntian saluted the stunned students at the scene, and strode away in their surprised eyes, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian would teach them such a rich and impressive lesson today.
The reason why Li Yuntian did this was to take precautions, but in fact, it was a last resort self-protection measure, and it was better to prevent problems before they happen.
He founded the lecture martial arts, and in the future, he will form a new army, even if the relationship with Emperor Xuande is good, he will definitely be suspicious of Emperor Xuande, and he may not be lucky when he will be unlucky.
Therefore, Li Yuntian is now going to instill the idea of loyalty to those students, and at the same time, it is also for Emperor Xuande to see, only if Emperor Xuande thinks that he can firmly control the military power of the new army, then Li Yuntian will still be respected and relied on by him.
Emperor Xuande smiled slightly after learning about this matter, and didn't say anything, but he was very useful in his heart, as the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, he hated and feared the most those courtiers who supported the army and respected themselves, and Li Yuntian's approach made him feel very pleased
