The first wind and rain drifted away

Wenhua Palace, all the courtiers are very familiar with it, in addition to the small court meeting held here, every year in the spring and autumn of the middle moon, but also to hold a feast here.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen entered the palace, the ministers had already finished enjoying a breakfast that surprised them.

The reason why I say this is because the dishes are so rich.

As important ministers of the court, they are all frequent visitors to the palace to eat, so they naturally understand what the standard is on weekdays.

In a few days, the palace had quietly changed.

When they saw Emperor Chongzhen coming in, they all stood up in a hurry, tidied up their court clothes, and then knelt down to salute under the leadership of Wen Tiren.

Emperor Chongzhen walked to his seat, waved his hand and said that Zhongqing would be flat, please sit down.

The small court will be no better than the earlier court, and all the ministers will have seats.

"Explain a few things, you Aiqing must be in place, and you must not be negligent."

After seeing that they were seated in an orderly manner according to their official positions, Emperor Chongzhen began to deal with the specific government.

Wen Tiren's pupils narrowed slightly, and he noticed that Emperor Chongzhen's words had changed, from the usual discussion to explanation.

"Your Majesty, please command!" He didn't dare to slack off, and said in a deep voice on behalf of the other courtiers.

"Spread the message to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, Chongzhen's nine-year martial arts scientific examination was changed to be held in September this year, led by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites was ......"

"The emperor must not, the Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the scientific examination, and there is no distinction between civil and military, and the ceremony cannot be abolished!"

Before Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Zhang Zhifa, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, hurriedly got up to stop him.

It is indeed rude to interrupt the emperor halfway.

But he's in a hurry!

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the ceremony, military ceremony and management of academic affairs, the ceremony of the guest and the reception of foreign guests, and the affairs of the imperial examination, among which the scientific examination is the most important thing of the Ministry of Rites.

Because, all the civil and military forces in the world are their students.

It is said that the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials and is respected as the head of the six departments, but the Ministry of Rites is really the most noble and powerful.

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, the successive chiefs and assistants have basically worked in the Ministry of Rites, which shows the location of the Ministry of Rites.

If the martial arts scientific examination is handed over to the Ministry of War, how can Zhang Zhifa agree?

"Presumptuous!"

Emperor Chongzhen's face sank and he shouted loudly.

Fuck, who's going to be the emperor?

It's a ritual again!

It's obviously interests, but it's just about etiquette.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty played this set of thieves.

Of the few things he was going to announce today, he thought it was the simplest, but the most important thing on his mind.

Never thought that he was in the order of easy first and then difficult, but he fell behind, how could he not be annoyed?

Okay, if you want to talk about etiquette, right?

"As a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, it is a great crime of disrespect to interrupt the words of the Son of Heaven for no reason, and to have no courtesy to the Son of Heaven. If someone comes, he will be put in the prison of the Criminal Department first, and then wait for it to be released! ”

Emperor Chongzhen quickly spoke out about his disposition of Zhang Zhifa.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the Wenhua Hall were stunned, and Zhang Zhifa's face was even more gray, and he sighed and took off the official hat on his head.

The sin of great disrespect belongs to the Ten Evils.

The first is rebellion, the second is rebellion, the third is rebellion, the fourth is rebellion, the fifth is disrespectful, the sixth is disrespectful, the seventh is unfilial piety, the eighth is disharmony, the ninth is unrighteousness, and the tenth is civil strife.

And Zhang Zhifa's behavior can actually be big or small.

If Emperor Chongzhen didn't care or was in a good mood, he would have passed with a smile. But now, it is a felony to speak out of the great disrespect.

The two Han generals in the hall came over, grabbed Zhang Zhifa's arms, and took him away.

Because this Zhang Zhifa is not famous in history, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know that he is loyal and treacherous, let alone how capable he is?

However, for these, Emperor Chongzhen said that it didn't matter.

Let Jin Yiwei secretly check his property, naturally he is not a good bird, and it is necessary to raid the house.

If you don't have any property, you can close it first.

In short, Emperor Chongzhen thought that a scholar of the Ministry of Rites who did not listen to his own words was unqualified.

"This matter will be taken care of by Wen Aiqing first, and then handed over to the Ministry of War."

Sun Chengzong, the newly appointed secretary of the military department, was still in his hometown in Gaoyang, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites had just been put in prison by himself, and Emperor Chongzhen had to hand over the matter to the obedient Wen Shoufu.

"Obey the order!" Wen Tiren didn't say much and asked, leaning over to receive the order.

"There is Lao Aiqing."

Emperor Chongzhen sighed secretly in his heart, and somewhat realized the helplessness of the deity!

There are too many constraints, and they are constrained.

It's so fucking hard to do something.

In fact, it is of profound significance that he deprived the Ministry of Rites of the right to conduct scientific examinations in martial arts and handed them over to the Ministry of War.

First, it is natural to enhance the status of the warriors, enhance the prestige of the military department, and form a system that truly recruits talents for the country.

The martial arts in history began during the reign of Wu Zetian, and the military department presided over the martial arts examination, and the examination subjects included horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, weight-bearing, wrestling, etc.

The Song Dynasty stipulated that martial arts should not only be forced, but also military strategy, such as the Sun and Wu Art of War.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to strategy first, followed by martial arts, and military strategy was placed above military technology.

It is said that the change is also good, and there is a certain amount of truth, and it does require the leading generals to have a strategy.

However, most of the military positions of the Ming Dynasty were inherited by Shiyin, and those who were gradually promoted by the ranks, and the military selection would only be a supplementary form.

This is a bad thing and needs to be rectified.

The second is to prepare for the sword to point at the Beijing camp.

What is the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp now, Emperor Chongzhen can know it with his feet.

The 400,000 elite soldiers during the Chengzu period can now pull out 30,000 soldiers who dare to fight, and Emperor Chongzhen said that he would lose.

Therefore, the reorganization of the Beijing camp is imperative.

But the source of soldiers is very important.

And the martial arts scientific expedition is one of the layouts of Emperor Chongzhen.

He is ready to leave all the candidates who participate in the martial arts examination, those with outstanding ability are generals, and those who are mediocre are soldiers.

In any case, if you dare to participate in the martial arts scientific examination, you have basically practiced your skills, which is much better than the people who have never practiced.

Of course, his plans, or layouts, may not be understood by courtiers now.

However, it doesn't matter, it will come to pass one day.
