Chapter 296: Part-time Lecture on Martial Arts [Second Shift]

(

At the beginning of October, Emperor Xuande officially issued an order at the first great court meeting of the Taihe Palace, announcing two major events, one is to inspect the Taichang Si Siqing Yang Pu to enter the cabinet as a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and concurrently the title of the right attendant of the military department.

Another major event was the establishment of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and Zhu Yongqing, the Fu King, held the position of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.

In addition to King Fu in charge of the Jingshi Lecture Hall, Li Yuntian also served as the director of the Military Department's Military Election and Qing Officials Division, assisting King Fu in preparing the Jingshi Lecture Hall.

The head of the Military Department's Military Election and Qing Officials Division is the official position of Zheng Liupin, which is the same as Li Yuntian's current official rank, which is the most suitable concurrent title for him, and the rank is completely equal.

Since the Ministry of Military Affairs is only a concurrent title, Li Yuntian does not serve in the Ministry of War, and his actual position is still to supervise the imperial history of the Huguang Road of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty set up a concurrent title has two functions:

One role is to serve as an additional official to show favor** and promote ranks, such as the official position of a cabinet member in the six ministries.

Another role is to give officials another status, so that they can exercise the corresponding powers, such as Li Yuntian:

With this concurrent title of the Military Division's Military Election and Qing Officials Division, Li Yuntian was able to participate in the preparation for the establishment of the Jingshi Lecture Hall in a specific matter of the Military Department in his capacity as the imperial historian of the Imperial Procuratorate.

If the word "palm" is added to the concurrent title, that is, "the military selection and clearing officials of the military department", then Li Yuntian can handle the affairs of the military selection and clearing officials department in the capacity of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

For example, the governors and governors of the middle and late Ming Dynasty usually concurrently served as the official titles of the right capital of the Imperial Palace, the right deputy capital of the Imperial History, or the official titles of the military department Shangshu and the right squire when they were local officials.

This does not mean that those governors and governors serve in the Metropolitan Inspectorate and the Ministry of War, but only that they are given the right to supervise and military power in the territory where they serve, and they will be withdrawn once they leave their part-time positions.

As soon as these two holy decrees were read, the attention of the civil and military officials in the Taihe Hall was focused on Yang Pu, who jumped from such a deserted yamen in Taichang Temple to a cabinet member, undoubtedly flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix.

At the same time, this also means that Emperor Xuande will strengthen the power of the cabinet so that the cabinet can compete with the five governments and six ministries.

As for the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall, although the blessed king came to sit in charge, there were very few people in the court who paid attention to it.

The reason is very simple, in the context of the hereditary military position of the Ming Dynasty, the Jingshi Wutang is undoubtedly a chicken rib, and the power of the governors of each capital is firmly controlled by the nobles of the court.

Besides, Emperor Xuande actually asked Li Yuntian to assist King Fu in preparing for the martial arts hall, this is simply a joke, who has ever heard that a weak scholar can govern the army?

Therefore, in the eyes of the civil and military officials in the court, Emperor Xuande's move was just to show the people of the world that he attached importance to military affairs, and had no impact on the current military pattern of the Ming Dynasty.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Yuntian was summoned to the palace by King Fu, and because he had to prepare for the lecture hall, his affairs in the Duchayuan and Wenyuan Pavilion had been assigned to others.

King Fu called Li Yuntian's intention was very simple, and pushed the preparations for the construction of the martial arts hall to Li Yuntian, he had already met Emperor Xuande, and knew that he was in charge of the town, and the specific preparatory affairs were taken care of by Li Yuntian.

In the reception hall of King Fu's mansion, Li Yuntian told King Fu about his idea of the martial arts hall.

According to his vision, the students of the lecture hall were divided into two parts, one part from the children of Xun Qi, and the other part recruited from the people.

All the princes, waits, and uncles of the Ming Dynasty, because of the emperor's grace, can let a son enter the lecture hall and automatically become a student.

The recruitment of non-governmental students must go through layers of selection and screening before they can become students. [29315671 Ruling Da Ming Zhi Da Ming] 293 ruling Da Ming 296

What particularly surprised King Fu was that the content and process of martial arts had been completely changed in Li Yuntian's conception, and although a three-level examination system was also implemented, it was different from the previous children's examinations, township examinations, and general examinations.

In Li Yuntian's philosophy, the Jingshi Lecture Hall is the place where military knowledge is imparted, so the admitted students only need to be physically strong and proficient in literature and ink, and they are not required to have high attainments in scripture and righteousness, strategy, and poetry.

Among them, there are two local examinations, the first of which is held in each state capital, and the selection of candidates who are qualified for the martial arts examination can be called the "preliminary examination".

The second examination is held at the location of each political secretary, that is, the provincial capital, and is called the "re-examination", and the candidates who pass the re-examination can enter the Jingshi Lecture Hall.

It is obvious that the number of candidates who participated in the re-examination must be much higher than the number of students admitted to Jiangwutang.

At this time, it is necessary to select the best candidates, and the re-examination will test the candidates and bow horses respectively, and then divide them into two lists and rank them in turn, and admit the top ones in the two lists to enter the lecture hall.

The general admission ratio is that two-thirds of the admitted students are the best candidates, and one-third of the admitted students are the best ones.

In order to ensure the balance of the students admitted to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, Li Yuntian specially stipulated a certain number of admission quotas for the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and appropriately fine-tuned them.

In addition, Li Yuntian also made a special restriction on the age of students participating in the preliminary examination, requiring candidates to be over 16 years old and under 25 years old, so as to optimize the resources of candidates.

For those admitted students, their last level of examination is the graduation examination of the Lecture Martial Arts Academy, and only those who pass the tempering of the Lecture Martial Arts Academy can graduate and become the military attaché of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the role of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall is different from that of Guozijian, and it has become the highest military academy in the Ming Dynasty, cultivating professional military talents.

However, since the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall is now in the preparatory stage, it has not even set up a shelf, let alone an instructor who meets Li Yuntian's requirements to teach students.

Therefore, it will take at least two years to implement Li Yuntian's idea, and Li Yuntian should focus on training instructors in the martial arts hall and improving the corresponding examination system during this period.

Therefore, in the face of the first batch of students of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Li Yuntian had no choice but to take special measures, except for the sons and daughters of the nobles in the court, the rest of the students were recruited from the North Zhili and the South Zhili, which had the most convenient transportation and information.

Now there are still three months before the Chinese New Year, which is enough to inform those students who are interested in joining the army in the north and south to take the exams to be held after the year.

In this way, the lecture hall will be able to open in the first half of next year and officially usher in the first batch of students.

As for the number of the first batch of students, Li Yuntian also had a plan in mind, and he believed that the number of the first batch of students should not be too much, more than 300 people were enough.

Judging from the current shape, the number of the sons and daughters of the nobles in Jingzhong should not exceed twenty, after all, the Guozijian is the place favored by the children of those powerful people, and they can all have hereditary military positions, so entering the Jiangwutang is completely redundant for them.

Considering the literary and martial style of the North and South Zhili, Li Yuntian believes that it is best to recruit 200 students from the North Zhili and 100 students from the South Zhili.

King Fu had been listening to Li Yuntian's narration silently, nodding his head from time to time, in his opinion, Li Yuntian's idea was extremely ingenious and self-contained.

As for the subjects of the martial arts, King Fu also felt very novel, usually speaking, the martial arts test is just the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts".

However, Li Yuntian's subjects not only included the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts", but also logistics, intelligence, war history, weather and geography, and military command, which really opened his eyes, and he never imagined that the lecture hall could teach so much content.

Since he had been explaining the relevant concepts of the martial arts hall to King Fu there, Li Yuntian had to drink a sip of water from time to time to moisten his throat.

"County Lord!" Near dusk, when a woman next to him poured hot water into Li Yuntian's teacup, Li Yuntian noticed that the woman turned out to be Zhu Yuxin, the county lord of Ruixiang, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Grandpa, it's late for dinner now, you and Li Yushi should continue to discuss the matter of the martial arts hall after finishing the meal." Zhu Yuxin smiled when she saw this, and said to King Fu in a coquettish voice.

"Time flies so fast, Li Yushi, let's listen to the county lord and talk about it after dinner." King Fu laughed when he heard this, stood up from his seat, and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.

"The lower officials listen to the prince." Where did Li Yuntian have the qualifications to choose, so he bowed down and said to King Fu.

After dinner, Li Yuntian stayed in the palace for more than an hour, and then got up to say goodbye, Zhu Yuxin volunteered to see him off, and sent him outside the mansion, staring at Li Yuntian's carriage away with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Girl, you are a dignified county lord who goes out to send a royal history, this seems to be out of line." In the study, King Fu was leisurely sipping tea there, reminiscing about today's conversation with Li Yuntian, and when he saw Zhu Yuxin coming in, he smiled slightly, and said quietly.

"If Grandpa thinks that Yu Li is incompatible, why didn't he remind Xin'er just now?" Zhu Yuxin's eyes flashed a few times when she heard this, and she stepped forward with a smile and massaged King Fu's shoulder.

"Girl, Li Yushi is indeed a rare talent, in the past, this king just thought that he was brilliant, but now it seems that he knows a lot about martial arts."

King Fu has loved the smart and clever Zhu Yuxin since he was a child, how could he not know Zhu Yuxin's thoughts, put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly, "It's a pity, he has already started a family and married the lord of Yingrui!" ”

Zhu Yuxin's eyes were dark, she didn't take a fancy to so many powerful children in the capital, but she had a soft spot for Li Yuntian.

Speaking of which, Li Yuntian really likes the girls, not only is he tall and handsome, but he is also a Jinshi, he risked his life twice to send an edict to the prince, and he is not afraid of power to shake An Yihou, plus he is now preparing to lecture on martial arts, which naturally attracts Zhu Yuxin, who is the proud daughter of the sky.

But it is also Zhu Yuxin who is the proud daughter of the sky and the royal blood, so there is an insurmountable gap between her and Li Yuntian, can she marry Li Yuntian as a concubine?

As for letting Li Yuntian take a leave of absence from Zhou Yuting, this is not realistic at all, not to mention that Zhou Zheng is an important minister of the country, just Zhou Yuting's identity as the lord of the Ying Rui County is destined to make this matter impossible.

"Grandpa, Xin'er wants to give up her royal identity and become a commoner!" After groaning for a while, Zhu Yuxin bit her lip and whispered to King Fu, although her voice was low, her tone was resolute
