But anyone with a discerning eye can see Chu Yi's intention to reform the military and government, from the institutional point of view, I have to say that the system left by Zhao Kuangyin is indeed naturally conducive to Wenchen, so with the Song Dynasty, the military generals will be suppressed by Wenchen.

Don't look at Chu Yi's power now, and even the status of the generals has been greatly improved, but in the eyes of many scholars, as long as Chu Yi leaves the court in the future, this world is already the world of their scholars, as for the generals, at that time, without Chu Yi in charge, isn't it up to them?

However, now Chu Yi wants to fundamentally change the military and political system, which has a different meaning in the eyes of many civil scholars.

Once the system changes, when they want to suppress the generals, it will not be so easy to control the power of the imperial court.

You must know that they don't know how much effort it took to achieve the point that the scholars and the Son of Heaven share the world, once Chu Yi reforms the military and politics, when the time comes, they want to suppress the generals, and they don't know how much price they will have to pay.

Needless to say, when Chu Yi proposed to reform the military and politics above the court, it attracted strong opposition from many conservative ministers.

For those ministers, they are not afraid of changing the dynasty, even if Chu Yi usurps the position of the Son of Heaven, as long as they are not moved, then they will not object.

But Chu Yi actually wanted to do something about the military and political system, so these conservative ministers couldn't sit still.

Even when Song Huizong Zhao Ji was forced to pass on to Zhao Gou, these ministers did not react at all, but now these people are like dead parents, and some people even scolded Chu Yi, calling Chu Yi a traitor to the country.

Zhao Gou, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the chaos below with a calm expression, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but show a bit of mockery in his eyes when he looked at these ministers.

That is, Chu Yi touched the interests of these people, otherwise, even if Chu Yi wanted to seize the Great Song Dynasty, these people would not react so fiercely.

"The ancestral system established by Emperor Taizu, who dares to change it!"

"Yes, these systems were all established by Emperor Taizu, and changing the ancestral system is to oppose Emperor Taizu, Chu Yi, you are so bold......"

"Chu thief, do you think that the rules set by Emperor Taizu are wrong?"

Chu Yi's expression was extremely calm, and he looked indifferently at these so-called celebrities above the court, and suddenly, Chu Yi had a sense of familiarity.

Isn't he regarded as a traitor by a group of civil servants at the beginning? The only thing that made Chu Yi feel a little relieved was that at least among the ministers present, not all of them reacted so violently.

A considerable number of ministers bowed their heads silently, and some even looked at him with expectation, obviously these people were aware of the various shortcomings in the system left by Zhao Kuangyin, and now these shortcomings have seriously dragged down the normal operation of the Great Song Dynasty.

For this reason, people of insight have not made attempts, and even launched changes to the law, but it is a pity that the power of the conservatives is too strong, and even those people of insight cannot change the overall situation.

Many people's eyes looked at Chu Yi, they wanted to see how Chu Yi would respond to the situation in front of him, you must know that among these ministers who stood up to oppose it, there were many important ministers in high positions.

At this time, Chu Yi glanced around at the officials who were jumping and scolding, and then he spoke: "Everyone, have you said enough?" ”

Seeing Chu Yi's reaction, those ministers were all stunned, stopped one by one, and looked at Chu Yi with puzzlement.

I only heard Chu Yi chuckle and said: "Since you support and miss Emperor Taizu so much, why don't you all go and guard the mausoleum for Emperor Taizu!" ”

People such as Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye and others couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Chu Yi's words, you must know that their hearts were hanging just now, for fear that Chu Yi would kill these people.

Of course, they are not sympathetic to these people, but the influence of these people is really not small, if Chu Yi really kills, Chu Yi's reputation is not very good, and I am afraid that it will be even more notorious when the time comes.

Chen Wenxuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, pointed at Chu Yi, and said with a look of annoyance and disbelief on his face: "Traitor, Your Majesty is still here, what qualifications do you have to decide where we are going." ”

While speaking, Chen Wenxuan turned to Zhao Gou who was sitting there and said, "Your Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to be the master of your ministers." ”

The rest of the conservative ministers also said to Zhao Gou one by one: "Please also ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the ministers, and wait for justice for the ministers." ”

Zhao Gou first glanced at Chu Yi and the others, sighed slightly, stood up, stared at Chen Wenxuan and the others: "Your family has worked hard and made great achievements, and you can be said to be loyal to the imperial court, and I am very relieved. ”

Chen Wenxuan and the others showed a little joy on their faces, thinking that Zhao Gou was still on their side, so Chen Wenxuan and the others couldn't help but look at Chu Yi with provocative eyes.

However, Zhao Gou's voice suddenly changed: "But Emperor Taizu dreamed of me last night, the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum was too lonely, and now I feel that if you have Qing and others go to the Imperial Mausoleum to accompany Emperor Taizu, I think Emperor Taizu will definitely not be lonely." ”

"Ahh

Chen Wenxuan and the others looked up at Zhao Gou in an instant, but they only saw Zhao Gou's cold face, and his face was full of calm, as if Fang Cai's words did not come from Zhao Gou's mouth.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

A minister subconsciously said to Zhao Gou.

But Zhao Gou waved his hand, looked at the civil and military courtiers who were standing on the side, accounting for about half of them, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, half of the ministers did not stand up to oppose it, otherwise, he was really worried about whether Chu Yi's reform of military politics could be carried out.

"Passing on my will, Chen Wenxuan and other loyal sheji, personally affirmed to me that they went to the imperial tomb to accompany Emperor Taizu, which is really an example for the world, I am very relieved, I can't bear to refute the loyalty of the old ministers, and I specially allow it......"

With a pop, Chen Wenxuan fell to the ground softly, his face was pale, and more than one person fell to the ground like Chen Wenxuan, and dozens of people fell on the spot.

"Faint king, faint king!"

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is crazy if you lose your heart, aren't you afraid that the court will not be able to operate?"

For a moment, the conservative ministers reacted mixedly.

It's just that no matter what the reaction of these people is, Zhao Gou's will was issued, and soon the forbidden army dragged out these ministers who had been robbed of their official positions and real power, and only had false titles left.

As these officials were dragged out, the hall was immediately empty, and nearly half of the officials were missing.

However, Chu Yi had already been prepared, and a completed plan for the military and political system was proposed, and even the list of chief officers and officials of each ministry was submitted together.

Zhao Gou didn't even have to think about how to select officials, he took the concert presented by Chu Yi and directly ordered someone to read it, so it can be said that the officials were appointed in full accordance with the list listed by Chu Yi.

The reform of the military and political system is naturally not a matter of one or two days, but such a big change in the court suddenly spread wildly all over the world, especially after the fact that nearly half of the officials were demoted to the tomb of Emperor Taizu to receive it for Emperor Taizu was confirmed, and the world felt Chu Yi's determination to reform the military and politics.

That is to say, the Great Song Dynasty and North Korea have killed officials, otherwise, the fate of these officials will definitely not be much better.

However, for these officials, the real power was seized, and they were even placed under house arrest in the imperial tomb to accompany the so-called Emperor Taizu, and the fate of these officials can be regarded as miserable.

At the same time as the reform of control above the court, the reform of the military system also began to be implemented.

Compared with the reform of official positions, the military system obviously received the least resistance, after all, the upper and lower ranks of the Great Song Army, who did not know Chu Yi's prestige.

As soon as Chu Yi gave the order, the reform of the military system began.

The first to bear the brunt is the million-strong forbidden army belonging to the central government. Even if there is some suspicion of false reporting of this million forbidden troops, there are at least seven or eight hundred thousand.

In all dynasties, there are very few dynasties that can directly support millions of troops from the central government, but the Great Song Dynasty did just that. It has even been supported for one or two hundred years, that is, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty is developed, if it is replaced by other dynasties, I am afraid that it is enough to support this army of millions of people, which is enough to drag down the finances of the imperial court.

After some screening, the millions of forbidden troops directly brushed off half of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the imperial court made up these full ten years of salary, and allocated land to settle these old, weak, sick and disabled.

The local area is also making changes, and it can be said that after this change, Da Song's bloated body gradually became full of vitality.

On this day, Chu Yi looked at Lu Junyi, Lu Shisang and others who came together, and couldn't help but put down the scroll in their hands, and looked at a few people curiously: "It's rare to see you come together, it can't be that something happened." ”

Chu Yi is like a shopkeeper who shakes his hands, although he has set the matters of reform, but it is Lu Junyi, Lu Shinang and others who really operate.

Now that he saw several people coming together, it was reasonable for Chu Yi to have such doubts.

Coughing lightly, Lu Junyi said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, your subordinates are here to explain to Your Highness the matter of reorganizing the forbidden army and recruiting soldiers. ”

Chu Yi nodded slowly and said, "If I am not mistaken, almost two or three months have passed, and the matter of recruiting troops and rectifying the forbidden army should also have a result." ”

Saying that, Chu Yi looked at Lu Junyi, and Lu Junyi immediately said: "The recruitment was completed the day before yesterday, and according to His Highness's orders, 30,000 young and strong people were raised, and now they have gathered in the western suburbs of Beijing to be trained by Lu Da, Lin Chong and others. ”

Chu Yi motioned to Lu Junyi to continue to introduce the matter of rectifying the forbidden army, and Lu Junyi said solemnly: "The matter of rectifying the forbidden army is only half completed now, and if you want to complete it completely, I am afraid it will take another month or two." ”

Hearing Lu Junyi say this, Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "The matter of reorganizing the army and banning the army is not achieved overnight, especially those soldiers who have been reduced, they must be properly settled, if they are not settled well, there will inevitably be chaos, so I would rather slow down than leave any hidden dangers." ”

Lu Junyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My subordinates will follow His Royal Highness's teachings, and they will definitely supervise this matter." ”

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Lu Shisang and Zhu Wu, who were mainly responsible for the reform of the control between the DPRK and China.

Although Chu Yi proposed to Zhao Gou the candidates for officials in various ministries and made certain reforms to the control, it was not a day's work to complete the thorough adjustment.

What's more, during this period, it is necessary to maintain the operation of the imperial court, otherwise, once the court falls into chaos or suspension, it will inevitably lead to local chaos.

Lu Shisang said with a little joy on his face: "Your Highness, not long ago, with the cooperation of Your Majesty, the control has been completely reformed, and all ministries have arranged suitable officials, and now the efficiency of the imperial court has been increased several times, and even the grain and ordnance prepared for the future foreign expedition have begun to be put on the agenda, and I think that in less than a month, the first batch of grain, ordnance and other materials will be completely in place." ”

Chu Yi's eyes lit up, he spent so much effort to make such a big reform to the Great Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, he didn't want the carriage of the Great Song Dynasty to become a help in his external expansion process, rather than a drag.

If the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty completely exploded, Chu Yi felt that it would not be a problem even if he swept dozens of countries, but the premise was that the logistics of the Great Song Dynasty could keep up.

After all, he is strong, but what is the use of being a strong person, the destruction of a country must be occupied after all to be regarded as a real occupation, otherwise, there will not be much luck at all.

Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Wu and Lu Shisang with appreciation, nodded slightly, and said, "Very good." ”

Chu Yi rarely praised others, but now that Chu Yi opened his mouth to praise him, Zhu Wu and Lu Shisang naturally showed joy on their faces.

Zhu Wu opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, although rest assured, we will definitely raise enough ordnance and food for the future without affecting the stability of the world." ”

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "It's really Chu's luck to have your help!" ”

Four years of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty, spring.

After a long winter, everything recovered, on this day, the shouting and killing in the school field in the western suburbs shook the sky, and the farmers near the western suburbs listened to the faint shouting and killing sound, but they were not flustered at all, but they looked accustomed to it.

Several old farmers were sitting there in the field at the moment, listening to the shouts of killing coming from the school yard, and talking about the parents and gossip from hearsay.

"Old beard, have you heard? The Grand Governor has already made a decision to lead his army south in early March......"

"No, how did I hear that I didn't go south, but prepared to go north to destroy Goguryeo!"

An old farmer waved his hand and said: "Where did you hear the news, my Huzi is in the army, my son returned home last month, listen to my son, the chief manager is ready to use troops in the northwest......"

"It's obviously going south!"

"Go north!"

Just when these old peasants were arguing, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and several old men who noticed such a movement immediately stopped, and looked in the direction from which the sound came with a curious expression.

As far as the eye can see, an official road in the distance leads directly to the school field in the western suburbs, and at this moment, on the official road, a cavalry team of about 100 people is heading towards the school field in the western suburbs at a very fast speed.

Seeing this, an old farmer was surprised: "Hey, look, this team of people seems to be a little difficult!" ”
