After retreating, Yue Yang was called to Kunning Palace by Chongzhen.

followed Chongzhen to Kunning Palace, Yueyang saw Queen Zhou with a smile on her face, and her daughter-in-law Kunxing Princess Zhu Yujiao was sitting on the side, but Princess Kunxing was relatively tired these days due to the reason of following Yueyang, and she was squinting her eyes and talking to her queen mother without saying a word.

As soon as she saw Yueyang, Queen Zhou complained: "Zhenghong, how do you take care of Yu Jiao, it is a long way from Shandong to the capital, and you arrived in ten days, but Yu Jiao is a daughter and still pregnant with a child, why don't you take it easy, you look at Yu Jiao's little face now, what if you are tired and come to see you?" ”

"I ......"

Yue Yang, who was complained by his mother-in-law, didn't know how to take this stubble, but it was Zhu Yujiao who spoke for his man: "Queen Mother, don't blame Zhenghong, don't you see that your father's holy decree is urgent, how much food does it cost 20,000 soldiers to eat and chew horses every day, and the silver spent is even more sea, it is not easy to rush from Shandong to the capital in such a short time, you still have to blame him, it is too chilling." ”

Queen Zhou was also happy when she heard it, this girl of her own house was the first time to contradict herself, no wonder people said that the married daughter spilled the water, she feigned anger and said: "Hey...... You little girl, you've only been married for a few days, so you're just talking for the pony. ”

"Eh, Queen Mother, you also know that people don't mean that βŠ₯." Zhu Yujiao was afraid that Queen Zhou would be angry, so she quickly grabbed her arm and shook her a few times.

Being so coquettish by Zhu Yujiao, Queen Zhou patted her daughter's little hand in disgust and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, look at you, you're almost a child, and you're still like a child." ”

"Hehe...... "Hehe Zhu Yujiao happily hugged Queen Zhou's arm and leaned her head on Queen Zhou's shoulder, her eyes blinking proudly.

After a few people finished speaking, Chongzhen asked Yue Yang who was sitting on the side in a deep voice: "Aiqing, what do you think of today's events?" ”

"A bunch of clowns jumping off the beam." Yue Yang thought for a moment before saying, "This world is the world of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, has the right to mobilize any army, this is Your Majesty's duty and right, and no one can stop it, and the reason why those officials jump out and bite like mad dogs is just because someone behind them is instructed. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen's eyes froze: "Someone instructed? ”

"Of course!" Yue Yang said with a smile: "You think, who originally instructed you to transfer troops and horses this time?" Who has had their rights violated in this case? There is a good saying called seeing the essence through the phenomenon, which means that no matter how complicated a thing may seem, as long as you grasp its source, you will find that it is actually very simple.

For example, today's events, although on the surface it seems that only those speech officials are jumping, but think about it carefully, are these speech officials really jumping out because they can't look past it? No. In fact, anyone knows that you, as the lord of a country, naturally have the right to mobilize any large army into Beijing, and you have no grudges against them as a minister, but why do they put on a posture of wanting to die as a minister? The reason is simple, because they were instructed to do it behind their backs. Then the question arises, who is directing them to do this? Of course, those who think their rights have been violated? In this way, it is naturally clear who is behind it. ”

Chongzhen asked in a deep voice: "You mean that those people in the cabinet are doing ghosts behind their backs?" ”

Yue Yang smiled: "Otherwise, who else do you think there is?" At the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, Chengzu said, 'Those who enter the cabinet are all officials who compile, inspect, and lecture, and do not place official subordinates, and are not allowed to be judged. The ministers should not be related to the matter. But what does the Cabinet look like now? What is the difference between the current cabinet elders and the prime ministers of the past? Whether it is the mobilization of troops and horses, disaster relief, food and salary, etc., all must be drafted by the cabinet before being submitted to His Majesty for approval. This time, you bypassed them and ordered Weichen to enter Beijing, they feel that their rights have been damaged, and naturally they will not give up. ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but snort heavily. "They are all greedy people, and one day I will remove them all!"

"Your Majesty, useless!" Yue Yang shook his head, "This is human nature, even if you remove them and replace them with others, the result will be the same." Power is the most tempting poison, and few people are willing to give it up after tasting it. ”

"yes!" Chongzhen sighed lightly.

Seeing that Chongzhen and Yue Yang were talking about business, Queen Zhou and Zhu Yujiao did not make a sound. Just quietly listened to the respective men.

After a while, Chongzhen asked, "Aiqing, do you know why I asked you to lead your troops into Beijing this time?" ”

Yue Yang smiled slightly: "Now that the Manchurian Tartars have been pacified, and the thieves have almost been wiped out, there is only one reason for Your Majesty to mobilize a large army into Beijing, it seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind to rectify the Beijing camp." ”

"Those who know me love Qingye!" Chongzhen looked at Yue Yang appreciatively, "Since Aiqing also knows the purpose of what I taught you to come to, are you willing to help me reorganize this mess?" ”

Yue Yang smiled freely: "Why does Your Majesty ask so many times, if the minister is unwilling, how can he lead the army here." ”

"Good...... I knew that Aiqing would not disappoint my expectations. Hearing that Yue Yang agreed so happily, Chongzhen was naturally very happy in his heart.

But before he was happy, Yue Yang continued: "It's just that although the minister promised His Majesty, I still hope that Your Majesty will also promise the minister a few things." ”

Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, waved his hand: "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

"First: Although the Beijing camp is completely rotten, there are too many princes and nobles involved in it, and there will be blood in the south in the process of rectification, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame Weichen.

Second: The minister thinks that the bad habit of using literature to dominate the military is really unacceptable, and the army is used to fight, and it is ridiculous to send a civilian official who is not familiar with military affairs to lead the army. It is because the minister thinks that the army should be led by soldiers, and this is the right way. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen's brows immediately furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "You can give the military general too many rights, what if you reappear in the future?" ”

When Chongzhen said this, the atmosphere in the room began to be solemn, and Queen Zhou glanced at her husband with some panic, wanting to say something but not daring to speak. And Zhu Yujiao's delicate body on the side trembled, are the two most important men in her life going to start turning their faces?

But what worried Zhu Yujiao didn't happen, Yue Yang just smiled slightly, then looked at Chongzhen and asked sincerely, "Chen has been in contact with some Yi people, and there is a proverb in Yi people's hometown, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed the horse." The minister thought it was very reasonable, a few years ago, the Ming Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, there are Tartars eyeing the outside, and there are rogues everywhere, the Ming Dynasty urgently needs a strong army to serve the Ming Dynasty, but how did the princes of the court do it? They would rather send those civilian officials who are not familiar with military affairs to command the troops, rather than give power to the generals, for fear that the generals will rebel? To put it mildly, most of my Ming state's affairs are bad in the hands of these corrupt people! ”

"Xianggong!" Hearing this, Zhu Yujiao's little face turned white with fright, and she hurriedly shouted without caring about it.

Chongzhen waved his hand at Zhu Yujiao with a calm face, "It's okay...... Let him speak! ”

Yue Yang continued: "It seems safe to let Wenchen dominate the generals, but the danger is the greatest. Think about the two Ming monarchs of the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, one of them was to pacify the Xiongnu and sweep the Eight Wildernesses, and the other pacified the world and fought the Tartars with a river of blood, and finally was called the Heavenly Khan by the Tartars, have they ever let Wenchen serve as the commander of an army? Could it be that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty were not afraid of the rebellion of the generals? Naturally, they are afraid, but why don't they ever send a civilian official as the commander? Because they know that it is more harmful to send a civil minister who is not familiar with military affairs to be the commander-in-chief, it is like letting a blind man ride a blind horse is too dangerous, once the army is defeated, it will shake the country's foundation at least and the country will be ruined. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen's face was already ugly, Yue Yang's words ruthlessly exposed the harmfulness of the literati's imperial martial arts, and also completely denied the Ming Dynasty's traditional national policy, he took a deep breath and asked, "Then according to Aiqing's meaning, the Ming Dynasty can't let the literati command the army in the future?" ”

"Exactly!"

Yue Yang's answer was very affirmative, he looked at the solemn old man and smiled: "Weichen knows that His Majesty is worried that Daming will repeat the scourge of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, this kind of thing can be avoided. ”

Chongzhen's expression was suddenly shocked: "Oh...... Aiqing still has this kind of clever plan, come quickly! ”

Yue Yang looked at Chongzhen and said slowly: "Actually, the way to avoid martial artists from sitting big is very simple, that is, to open a military school!" ”

"Start a military school!" There was an exclamation in the room almost at the same time.

"Right...... It's to start a military school! Yue Yang stretched out a finger and said, "First, we can mobilize the most experienced generals of the Ming Dynasty to open the best military academy and pass on what they have learned all their lives to all the officers of the Ming Dynasty." And this military school is headed by His Majesty himself, so these officers will all become students of His Majesty after they go out of the school, and after His Majesty and they have a friendship of master and apprentice, these people will also become protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty can use kindness, officials, and silver to envelop them, let them serve my Daming, and Your Majesty can control the army of the whole Ming Dynasty through these people, so who else can rebel, who dares to rebel? ”

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but slam the table and shouted loudly. At this time, he listened to the eyebrows flying, and the whole person was as comfortable as Zhu Bajie who had eaten ginseng fruit, and how comfortable he was.

And Yue Yang is also smiling, this trick has already proven effective in history. I think that our Principal Jiang was not so in control of millions of troops through the officers of the Whampoa Department, although there were occasionally a few disobedient students who opposed him, but the vast majority of people were still very loyal to Lao Jiang.
