The clouds swept the west wind, the time was in the Double Yang Festival, and the Great Zhou God ushered in a different sunny day.

Located in the Yuji Fang on the north bank of Luoshui, there are crowds of people, and the market is mixed with nine streams. Jin Wuwei opened the way in front of the head, followed by the empress guard of honor, the empress rode in the imperial chariot, followed by the hundred officials, and on one side was the Yulin guard. The brigade slowly moved in one direction, and where it passed, the people kowtowed to the mountain and shouted "Long live". The empress's heart was greatly satisfied, but what she desperately wanted to see was the Great Zhou Martial Academy, which had been completed after the construction in April.

The Great Zhou Wuyuan, according to Wuqing, is the symbol of the Great Zhou.

The martial arts courtyard occupies half of the Yuji Fang, so it is extremely broad, the gatehouse is not a heavy eaves tower, but Wuqing according to the concept of the building in the previous life, designed into an open style, on both sides erected swords, guns, swords and halberds, in the middle of a boulder, on which is the empress said "Great Zhou Wuyuan" four sharp characters.

At this moment, Wu Qing led all the generals to wait neatly in front of the Great Zhou Martial Academy. When the empress arrived, Wu Qing, dressed in bright armor and with a slender figure, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please inspect the martial arts!" ”

The empress bowed down and stretched out her hand with relief, Wu Qing immediately hugged it, and then in the sound of music, the empress saw the Great Zhou Wuyuan. After nodding immediately, he led the hundred officials into the martial arts courtyard.

After entering the martial arts courtyard, what caught her eye was a statue about six zhang high, the empress was stunned, she didn't expect this statue to be a woman, and then look at that face, isn't it herself wearing battle armor?

Suddenly, the empress became excited, her life. Since entering the palace, he has always traveled between Chang'an and Luoyang, and has never been farther. Not to mention putting on armor. Every emperor has the ambition to expand the territory to a greater or lesser extent, and the same is true for the empress, although she has not worn a battle armor in her life, but at this moment, when she sees herself wearing a battle armor being shaped here, it still makes her heart feel a wave in her heart. She couldn't help but think of the heroic empress who personally conquered the grassland. The orthodox image of Western Imperial Tibet.

Wu Qing bowed down at the right time and said, "Holy Lord, if you don't like it, Weichen can let people put it in the Longmen Buddha shrine." ”

The Empress laughed, "You kid. I know people's hearts best, I like it, although I have never worn battle armor and fought on the battlefield. But you can see it. My heart is happy, which is enough to comfort my life. ”

The hundred officials were also complimented, and Wu Qing could only say, "This is what Weichen should do." ”

In fact, the Great Zhou Wuyuan sculpted the image of the empress, and it was really to please the empress, and the purpose of Wuqing was mainly to make the military reform go smoothly, so that the Great Zhou would eventually become the base of the Great Zhou generals, just like the Whampoa Military Academy in the previous life.

Wu Qing accompanied the empress and hundreds of officials to see them one by one from the playground, arena, and teaching house. I also pay more attention to some new training equipment that has appeared, such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, rings, rock climbing and so on. In particular, there is a large swimming pool, which has also become a major feature of the martial arts academy.

The empress didn't know where Wu Qing's novel ideas came from, but her inspection of the martial arts academy also made her see the innovative side of the Great Zhou, and she also loved and trusted Wu Qing more.

As early as when training Zuo Yulin's guards, Wuqing had compiled the code of conduct for various arms, so in the past few months, there are only a few generals left in Wuqing and Datang, such as Lou Shide, Xue Ne, Wang Xiaojie and a few others, but basically these people are just a full number, and the main compilation is still completed by Wuqing, which can be regarded as Wuqing's words.

Of course, Fan Lihua and Yuwen Su'e helped a lot, otherwise Wuqing's energy might not have been compiled into the "Great Zhou Wudian" in such a short period of time.

According to Wuqing's thinking, the Great Zhou Wuyuan is divided into two parts, one part is a crash course, mainly to train generals who have already served in the army. Some of them are formal students, recruiting teenagers over the age of thirteen as new students, and undergoing corresponding physical examinations, as long as the body is qualified, whether they are tall, short, fat or thin, poor or rich, talented or noble, they are eligible to become students of the Great Zhou Martial Academy. At the same time, the "Great Zhou Wuyuan Edict" was promulgated in the world, and from then on, all generals in the army must be promoted, and they must come from the Great Zhou Wuyuan.

In short, the promulgation of this edict made the generals in the army indignant, but now after the rule of the cool officials, no one dares to say anything.

Wuqing Shangshu recruited 10,000 soldiers to protect the Beijing division, and gradually abolished the Zhichong Mansion soldiers 300 miles away. The Empress gladly agreed, and the quota was expanded to 20,000.

From then on, the recruitment of troops was coordinated by Wu Qing, so Wu Qing asked the empress to seal Guo Zhiyun, the general of Zuo Yu Linwei, as the recruiting envoy. The Empress readily agreed, and the Empress began to find that the establishment of emissaries outside of the Six Ministries would be a good way to accomplish some of the conflicting tasks. Immediately, she asked Wu Sansi to serve as the envoy of Feng Chan, specifically responsible for the affairs of Feng Chan Songshan.

Wu Sansi caused a lot of public resentment because of the Tianshu casting, but it still made the empress very satisfied, so he worshiped as the spring official Shangshu, and now he is also the envoy of Feng Chan, which makes Wu Sansi very pleased. On the contrary, because Wu Chengsi had a lot of honorific titles, the empress thought that it was the honorific title that destroyed heaven, so Wu Chengsi has been idle in the palace since he was crowned as a special prime minister, and occasionally went to the palace to explore the empress's mouth, but he was no longer valued by the empress. And it is rumored that Wu Chenghei is not in good health, which is said to be because of the root of the illness that fell when he was exiled to Lingnan.

With the first batch of 150 middle-level generals from the four towns of Anxi coming to the Great Zhou Martial Academy, the three-month crash course training officially began.

Wu Qing couldn't steal the limelight from the empress, so this first class was the empress's dean's instruction class, and the empress knew that this was an opportunity, so she didn't shirk it, and took advantage of the imperial chariot to enter the lecture hall with the support of Shangguan Wan'er and Wei Tuan'er.

One hundred and fifty middle-level generals, ranging from lieutenants to generals, when the empress walked into the lecture hall, all the generals stood up and shouted long live.

The empress knew that this standing up was the etiquette of the martial arts, so she immediately stretched out her hands and slowly fell, "Soldiers, please take a seat!" ”

There was no bookcase or lectern on the podium, only a circle chair wrapped in yellow silk, and the empress was too old to stand for long, so she had to sit down. Shangguan Wan'er and Wei Tuan'er stood beside them. Wu Qing returned to her seat, and the empress said slowly: "At the request of the King of Wei, I will establish the Great Zhou Martial Academy. Not only for the sake of strengthening the army, but also for you soldiers. For generals, you should know astronomy and geography, how many of you understand this sentence? ”

The generals talked in a low voice, and seeing that no one dared to answer, the empress smiled slightly and said, "The ancient general." For example, Sun Wu, Pang Juan, Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Qu's patients all know astronomy and geography, do you understand? I guess. I don't think there are many literate among you."

The empress made such a speech, Wu Qing couldn't help but sigh very much, this was much stronger than those leaders in the previous life, and completely stopped these unruly people in the army. Let go of your heart. He looked at Shangguan Wan'er. I can't help but feel a little regretful, now Shangguan Wan'er is thirty-two, and they can only become a pair of dewy mandarin ducks, and they steal joy once from time to time, but for Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Qing is always very special, because she is his first love, um. That's right, Shangguan Wan'er is Wu Qing's first love in this era.

First love is wonderful. But today, guilt remains.

Shangguan Wan'er also felt a ray of gaze, she knew that this was Wu Qing's, but she didn't dare to do anything unusual, because it would bring a lot of trouble to Wu Qing, especially now when the empress and crown prince were only wavering in the Li family and the Wu family. Any mistake can turn into a disaster.

So she ignored it, cleaned up her mood, abandoned distracting thoughts, and devoted her mind to the empress.

Wei Tuan'er is now in her twenties, and her body has become more and more mature after Wuqing's continuous development in the past few years, but she is deeply trained by Wuqing, so except in bed, no matter what the occasion, she has to pretend not to know.

The empress's thinking was a little divergent, so this time the lecture was actually spoken for half an hour. But the role is obvious, that is, the Great Zhou Martial Academy is the empress's, and all the generals who go out from the Great Zhou Martial Academy will be the empress's soldiers, and their loyalty cannot be said to be ten percent, but it must be above eighty percent.

After the empress was sent away by Wu Qing, the next thing was Wu Qing's cousin.

The Great Zhou Martial Academy not only learned the theory of the art of war, but also became literate and able to understand the meaning of letters, which was a basic course. Therefore, Wuqing transferred Yang Jiong from Qingxin Academy to the Great Zhou Martial Academy. Let Yang Jiong teach these soldiers the text at different levels, which Wuqing calls a cultural lesson.

The teaching of cultural courses is divided into two levels, one level is to teach illiterate and illiterate students, and the second level is to teach literate and already read some knowledge of astronomy and geography.

There are a total of four courses in the Great Zhou Martial Academy, the first is the previous cultural course, the second is the political course, the third is the military theory course, and the fourth is the military training subject.

The political zhì class was taught by Wu Qing, and the content of the political zhì class was not much, but the most important one was that "the army is loyal to the emperor and loyal to the country." And around this theme, he expounded what is the army, what is the emperor, what is the country, and what is the people. In short, from Wu Qing's point of view, it is brainwashing. And this is what must be done, the work can only be painted on a blank canvas. Brainwashing is just to make the trainee a canvas to be able to paint.

The military theory course is also taught by Wu Qing, and there is more content, but the first one is "obedience and execution!" To be honest, at this point, Wu Qing admired the German fascists in his previous life, and as far as the world was concerned, the German army was undoubtedly the strongest army in the world. Military theories mainly borrowed from the Art of War of Sun Wu and the Art of War, as well as some theories of Wuqing.

The military training course was taught by Guo Zhiyun, who has always been Wu Qing's right-hand man in the army, so he is very familiar with drill training. With the end of the recruitment, he also returned to the Great Zhou Martial Academy. Moreover, the training of the recruits is in the Great Zhou Martial Academy, and after the three-month intensive training here is completed, they will replace the soldiers of the Zhichong Mansion and garrison the Shendu.

It is not difficult to imagine that a few years later, the generals in the army are all from the Great Zhou Martial Academy, so the army will completely belong to the emperor. This worries many people with insight.

As the prime ministers in charge of the twelve guards of the Southern Ya, they were secretive, even Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia and others also appeared one after another, and the establishment of the Great Zhou Wuyuan did more harm than good.

After Wu Qing saw Song Shu in the palace, he said: "It's just that the prime minister is afraid that the Holy Lord has mastered the army and is reckless. But as for the words of Zhang Cambodia and others, I am afraid that their hearts can be punished. ”

When the empress heard Wu Qing, she didn't say Di Renjie directly, but Zhang Cambodia. It is understood that in fact, Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, Li Zhaode and others all hope that the Li family will inherit the throne, and it is unknown whether the inheritance is Wu Zhou's or Li Tang's. However, they regarded themselves as Li Tang's former ministers. It is conceivable that after the Li family inherits the unification, it will inevitably be restored.

Thinking of this, the empress finally understood Wuqing's intention to establish the Qingxin Academy and the Great Zhou Martial Academy, and she couldn't help but feel unfathomable for Wuqing's city. You must know that more than ten years ago, although she was in charge of most of the government, she did not completely control it. And at that time, Wu Qing was already preparing.

"Qing'er can just do whatever she wants." The Empress said slowly.

In fact. At this moment, she already had an idea in her heart, but she lacked an opportunity.

Wu Qing received the order. Say goodbye and leave.

Three days later, Wu Qing published an article in the newspaper entitled "On the State and the Army," in which he severely criticized the shortcomings of literati who did not understand military affairs but engaged in military affairs since ancient times, and also analyzed the importance of nationalizing the military in simple terms. And it tells about the pros and cons of conscription. As for the opposition of some people. Wu Qing thought that this was just a fear that the Great Zhou Emperor would have an army that was completely loyal to His Majesty and the country. In the end, Wu Qing implored people of insight to propose a proposal instead of aimless grandstanding.

In fact, the last sentence almost completely scolded Di Renjie and other Li Tang old ministers, and completely offended. So the newspapers became a battlefield again, but it didn't involve the government, it only revolved around the army.

After the empress understood it in her heart, she finally continued to promote the science officials, of course, all of them were middle- and lower-level officials with real shortcomings.

Progressive wax moon. Feng Chan made Wu Sansi play, please Feng Chan Songshan. The empress readily agreed, so she ordered the chieftains of Siyi and the envoys of Fanguo to gather in the divine capital. Prepare to seal Zen Songshan.

At the beginning of the month, the empress drove away from the Shendu, followed by the hundred officials and the chiefs of the four yi, and Wuqing was fully clothed, leading 10,000 left feather Lin Wei elite guards to protect the side. This time, Princess Taiping accompanied the empress by her side, Wu Chenghei was ill and did not follow, and the heir Li Dan led the princes to accompany her.

In short, the group stretched for more than ten miles, a short distance, and walked for nearly eight days.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, the car drove to Songyang County and rested in Fengtian Palace.

Early the next morning, the empress led hundreds of officials from Huanggai Peak, passed through Qingtong Peak, Big and Small Tieliang Gorge, and finally arrived at the highest peak of Songshan Taimur Mountain, Junji Peak.

The ceremony of sealing Zen Songshan is "sealing the Tai room, Zen Shao room". "Seal" is to build an altar to worship the sky, and "Zen" is to sacrifice the ground.

Therefore, on the altar that has been built long ago, the empress first informs the heavens and the earth, telling the merits since her accession to the throne. Immediately afterwards, Wu Qing was dedicated to the subordinate, and Li Dan was the final dedication. In the end, the empress made "Shengzhong Shu Zhiwen", Wu Qing book, Wu San Si ordered people to engrave the monument and stand on the side of the altar.

The empress stood on the top of the mountain and completed the ceremony of sealing the Songshan Mountain that had been prepared for a long time during the reign of Gaozong, so the edict granted amnesty to the world, changed the Yuan long live Dengfeng, and Songyang County was also changed to Dengfeng County.

Wu Sansi was very disappointed, because he did not participate in the sacrifice, and in a way, he was no longer important in the heart of the empress, at least compared to Wu Qing, he was thrown far away. However, he didn't dare to pick on him, because the people under his command still wished he wouldn't do it.

On the 14th, the empress led hundreds of officials to climb Shaomu Mountain and set up an altar in Wanyanggang. It is still Wu Qing who is the second dedication, and Li Dan is the final sacrifice. And set up the "Great Zhou Sealing Altar Monument", Wu Qing wrote, Li Dan wrote, Wu San thought of the inscription.

At this time, the ceremony of sealing Zen was completely completed, and Yangcheng County was changed to Xucheng County, so that the Empress Yongzhi ascended Zhongyue and was completed. Subsequently, the edict ordered the people of Luozhou to reduce taxes for two years, and Dengfeng and Sucheng counties to reduce taxes for three years.

On the 16th, a pilgrimage altar was set up outside the Fengtian Palace at the southern foot of Taimur Mountain to accept the worship of hundreds of officials. The empress ascended Songshan and was accomplished, and under the great joy, she issued an edict to give the second class to the officials of the internal and external officials above the third grade, and two orders below the fourth grade, and feasted the ministers, and all states and counties in the world could celebrate for nine days, in order to show that Ze was full of life.

Through guò Feng Chan, Wu Qing became a sub-sacrifice like a dark horse, which made the hundred officials have to think deeply, and even Princess Taiping and the imperial heir Li Dan felt deep worries. Taking advantage of the banquet of hundreds of officials, the brother and sister had a secret meeting in the side hall.

Li Dan is two years older than Princess Taiping, so the two almost grew up together, but in terms of relationship, the relationship between Princess Taiping and Li Xian is the best, but no matter what, Princess Taiping's life is much better than Li Dan's.

Li Dan trembled every day, for fear of angering the empress, almost claustrophobic with the princes, drinking and having fun every day, not paying any attention to the outside of the window, after experiencing the An Jinzang incident, he had no hope for the throne.

So Princess Taiping came to him for a secret discussion, he just wanted to meet this sister, seeing that his sister had a ruddy complexion, a plump body, and was still so gorgeous and gorgeous, he knew that his sister's life was good, and he immediately had a thought.

After the two sat down, Li Dan said: "Since Concubine Liu and Concubine Dou went, Zhiyu and Zhiying have been taken care of, I want to entrust them to my sister, they are sisters, presumably the mother will not be suspicious." ”

Princess Taiping was stunned, what had become of this brother, he was so timid and afraid, she couldn't say a word about what she had thought of. So he said: "Brother don't worry, when I return to Shendu, my sister will beg the mother emperor." ”

Then he paused, and finally couldn't help but say, "Brother, don't you really want to fight for the throne?" Is my Lee clan cut off like this? ”

Li Dan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of horror appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, the position of the crown prince has its own mother and queen decision." I came here tonight mainly to see my sister, and now that I see it, I'm relieved. ”

Then he stood up, walked out of the side hall, and then said loudly: "Sister, don't forget to take the jade and the ying." Then he hurried towards the main hall, but disappeared into the night in a moment.

Princess Taiping stood for a long time, sighed, and then walked into the dormitory, in the Fengtian Palace, she has a special dormitory.

This winter is not very cold, and there has not been a single snow since entering the wax moon, and according to experience, the coming year will be a year of great disaster. (To be continued......)
