Recently, Xue Chongxun saw two copies of Du Xianam's notes, the first of which was to describe the actual combat effect of the cannon made in Wugong County, which played an important role in the battle of Yingzhou, but the disadvantage was that the mobile transportation was inconvenient and the materials were poor, and it was scrapped after only being used twice.

After this recital arrived in Chang'an, there was no sound, and the ministers basically didn't care, like a small pebble thrown into the pool of liquid and couldn't arouse the prodigal son at all. But Xue Chongxun personally attaches great importance to it, as Du Xian said in the chapter, if there is no martial arts cannon, a weapon that completely surpasses the Dongyi soldiers, it will not be so easy to defeat Yingzhou, and the price paid will not be the same. However, the bureaucrats in the imperial court did not think so, and they used great principles such as righteousness, strategy, and military system to summarize the victory of the Battle of Yingzhou.

After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, because of Xue Chongxun's personal likes and dislikes, he almost ran counter to the former Tang Dynasty in foreign policy, completely abolishing diplomatic methods such as peace and affinity to stabilize the situation, and instead sought a national policy based on military superiority. Xue Chongxun believed that in order to maintain this "hegemonic" strategy, it was necessary to maintain the generational gap in force, and maintaining the leadership of weapons was much simpler than the complex management of the military system and the rule of officials, which was why he attached so much importance to a few guns.

According to Du Xian's information, Xue Chongxun did two things, first of all, he incorporated all the workshops, school yards, and soldiers and craftsmen who developed and produced iron cannons in Wugong County into the Beiya system, and established the "Shenji Department" parallel to the Yamen of the Jiafang Bureau, which specialized in the development of new weapons, and was subordinate to the headquarters of the Beiya Forbidden Army. At this time, Xue Chongxun had already grasped the supreme power in the world, and it was much easier to do things, such a thing was just arranged lightly in a study in the greenhouse hall.

Xue Chongxun first authorized Yang Siqiao to have full authority over the matter, and then described his own idea: "Continue to recruit talented people, and fix the previous method of rewarding those who have made meritorious contributions to cannon casting by decree to form reward and punishment rules." In the early stage, the four cannons were unusable in Yingzhou and scrapped, it should be that the process of iron smelting and casting was not enough, and the reward specifications were improved, and whether it was an official or a craftsman, he would not hesitate to reward him if he made a breakthrough in technology......"

The dark and thin eunuch in front of him listened carefully and pondered the emperor's thoughts, and he would synthesize these bits and pieces of information to do his own errand. The Han people pay attention to understanding and drawing inferences, just like officials want craftsmen to make something, and they only need a general description to achieve the effect.

In addition to this matter, Xue Chongxun also specially issued an order in the reply to Yingzhou: destroy the waste cannon and do not fall into the hands of other clans.

Xue Chongxun has recently canceled more and more of the dynasty, and it seems that he is suspected of neglecting his administration, but in fact, he will meet with some people every day to deal with business quietly. Just like this morning in the Hanyuan Hall of the Dynasty he did not go, at that time there were many foreign envoys to worship the emperor, and later Princess Taiping in the Xuanzheng Hall to listen to the political Dai Xue Chongxun accepted the congratulations of various countries, and set up a state banquet in the Lin De Palace, which was very lively...... Many of the foreign vassals who came back to Chang'an for the first time only had an impression of Princess Taiping, but they had no concept of the emperor, and they had never even seen each other. Some people also think that the Central Plains has returned to the situation where women have been in power since Wu Zetian. But the people in the real court know very well in their hearts that there will be no second empress in the Central Plains Dynasty.

Du Xianam's first piece of music was silent, but the second time he wrote caused an uproar. In accordance with the northeastern frontier strategy privately agreed with the emperor when he had not left the country before, he captured Yingzhou and then wrote to repair the Great Wall in Hebei, consolidating the territory in Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) with fortifications and protecting the defense line of the eastern half of the Jin Dynasty. This matter immediately attracted boiling opposition in Chang'an, which was expected. The reason for the opposition of the courtiers was simple: it cost too much.

The Tang Dynasty did not build the Great Wall and the Quartet came to the dynasty to become an example for everyone to cite, and some people quoted scriptures and classics to use the great principles to advise, and the foundation of maintaining the society lies in the benevolence of the government to win the hearts of the people, the rectification of the government and the repair of military equipment, not in the Great Wall. The snowflakes inadvertently revealed a positive attitude towards the Tang Dynasty, which directly led Xue Chongxun to the idea of issuing an order to revise the History of the Tang Dynasty.

Because today's history has become "the Tang Dynasty died strongly", the problems of the upper echelons led to the change of dynasty, unlike the original history of the Tang Dynasty that was rotten to the extreme before it declined, so that some hidden problems were not exposed. It is naturally difficult for the people of the present world to foresee the problems in one or two hundred years, but they believe that the national policy implemented by the Tang Dynasty is acceptable, and only after experiencing the tragic situation of the warlords at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the capital changing hands several times, and Hebei and other places completely falling into the hands of the Hu people in later generations, will the people of the world wake up to those hidden dangers.

Xue Chongxun had already considered the adverse effects of the construction of the Hebei fortress, and no matter how much the courtiers argued, they were indifferent, and made up their minds to build a barrier to completely isolate the Hu people outside the pass, and to expand outward on the basis of this solid territory, forming a broader strategic depth.

As a result, the bureaucrats shifted their dissatisfaction to Du Xian, believing that Du Xian was favored and instigated the emperor's bad ideas, and at least scolded him for misleading the country, and at worst, some people with darker psychology suggested that Du Xian was too powerful in the northeast and might rebel. This is already very painful, since ancient times, the emperor has been most worried about being driven off the throne by the people below, this kind of suspicion can no longer be dealt with by ordinary people's psychology, Xue Chongxun is no exception. But in the matter of Du Xian, he finally kept his sanity: Du Xian was not an important figure at all in the Tang Dynasty, but he had a life-and-death friendship with Xue Chongxun on the battlefield, and he had no motive to restore the Tang Dynasty at all, and his family members were not to mention in Chang'an, his daughter was still a concubine in the palace, why did he rebel?

Xue Chongxun's view was completely contrary to that of most bureaucrats, and even the descendants of the cabinet did not approve of the large-scale construction of the border fortifications, and he could not find a way to convince the ministers who were full of wealth. So Xue Chongxun didn't go to court for half a month, and the ministers of Nanya above the third rank didn't see him for more than ten days.

Autumn has arrived, and even if you live in the palace all day long, you can feel the breath of autumn from the fallen leaves on the stone path and the cool breeze in the sky. Perhaps due to the influence of the atmosphere of the season, Xue Chongxun was thinking: Will a series of innovations and layouts in his heart be too urgent? Will it have the opposite effect? Maybe sometimes a person in power is better off doing nothing than doing a lot of things, such as Wang Mang and Chongzhen. In recent days, he has begun to revisit "The Biography of Wang Mang" tirelessly.

One day, he happened to see Princess Jincheng bathing in the bath of Penglai Palace, so he stopped the palace maid from alarming her, peeked behind the curtain, and felt that her skin was better than snow, and she was indeed worthy of being the first beauty in Daming Palace...... But as soon as he thought about it, how did he just come across Jincheng taking a bath here? Most of it was deliberate by her, but he felt that none of this was important, so he lived in the dormitory of Jincheng and did not come out, neither going to court nor dealing with the recital.

Fortunately, the central structure of the cabinet and the government hall has gradually matured, and Xue Chongxun can barely maintain it regardless of political affairs, but various decrees are no longer holy oracles but jointly signed by the cabinet and the government hall. Moreover, Princess Taiping was also interfering in court politics, and Princess Guò Hezhong interfered in the approval of the chapter. Anyway, nothing was a big problem.

The construction of artillery and guns to promote weapons technology, the addition of institutions and the arrangement of new political structures, the development of the centralization of monarchy, and the beginning of the aggressive Yingzhou new foreign policy and tax system...... and so on are all things that Xue Chongxun wants to do after he ascends the throne, but when he actually does it, he will always encounter resistance and worries ranging from severity, and there is another thing he is considering: the imperial examination.

Wu Zetian has always maintained the path of the imperial examination, and what Xue Chongxun wants to do is to improve the system and further weaken the influence of the scholars. Because his regime was not very well supported by the Shi clan, and even some Shi clan had hatred for the new regime, but to rule the country, it always required talents, and now Xue Chongxun and his party maintained their rule with the national policy of appeasing the hearts of the people and winning over the Shi clan. In order to further consolidate the political power, the improvement of the imperial examination is the fundamental method.

The current imperial examination system is very imperfect in all aspects, and it is nothing compared to the system of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In fact, the scholars and ministers of the court and the central government controlled most of the resources, and the appreciation and recommendation of the powerful were more effective than the actual size of their talents, and there was a lack of relatively fair competition rules.

Xue Chongxun has the advanced insight in his memory, of course, he can easily think of how to improve this set of things, but he has a doubt in his heart: When I have the final say today, do I still have to copy the "Eight Shares of the Ming Scripture"? Is there any other way? G
