Chapter 225: We are self-aware
"Weichen will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." Qi Jingtong only felt cold sweat, although His Majesty didn't say anything, but he always felt very nervous.
"Okay, okay, get up, just come back, I'll leave the rest to you, just reward the three armies, the military merit system will be introduced soon, you have to rely on yourself to work hard for whatever you want, you can only watch others eat and drink spicy, you make a detailed report on the battle situation, and then calculate the military merits."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Jingtong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know how to speak, fortunately His Majesty said it, otherwise he really didn't dare to ask His Majesty, but if he didn't ask, what would the soldiers below do.
"Don't thank me, thank yourself, thank you soldiers, if you can lose this, you can come to see me with your head raised." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, all respect is earned by his own strength, if his own strength is not good, then go and eat soil.
"No."
"Let's go, the celebration banquet is all set up for you, I won't eat with you, relax today, you may be busy from tomorrow, and many people are starting to be restless again." Zhu Houxi squinted his eyes, and he didn't want to say that there were many of them, and how many of them were with him in the group of civil and military officials below.
But he doesn't care, anyway, this is his world, as long as he is still in the sky, those people can't turn the sky, if one day he is really gone, it doesn't matter, after he dies, he will be flooded.
Qi Jingtong nodded solemnly, he had already received the news, since he was back, then those people who were alive and kicking should also stop for a while, but what he cared about was not this, but His Majesty's state seemed to be a bit of a problem.
Qi Jingtong glanced at Lu Fang, this chief of the inner house must be clear.
Lu Fang smiled and nodded, if there may have been some problems before, then there must be no problem now, as long as the capital is not chaotic, how can other places be chaotic, Qi Jingtong's return also represents the return of the army, and some people have to weigh even if they have ideas.
Although it is said that the rabbit is sad to die and the fox is sad, but now His Majesty is killing chickens and monkeys, who dares to continue to be the first bird, of course, there must be those who are not afraid of death, but these are easy to deal with.
The process that should be taken is naturally to be taken, but Zhu Houxi showed his face and went back, the injuries on his body have not healed yet, how can he have the leisure to come out and go out, the process should be gone or gone later, this is a general, a soldier's due glory, he can't change other people's minds because he doesn't like it.
Qi Jingtong has not been in a good state since then, mainly because he is a little worried about His Majesty's body, and after he comes back, there are more things, and he has no time to ask Lu Fang, he is about to die in a hurry.
"How is Your Majesty?" After being full of wine and food, he finally sent the guests away, Qi Jingtong looked at Yan Song next to him, he was finally done, although it was a celebration banquet for him, but he was not in the mood at all.
"It's a little injured, but the problem shouldn't be big, I don't know the specific situation very well, and I'm afraid that something will happen if you come back early, but fortunately, the worst didn't happen, and Your Majesty came back safely, now you just need to get the exam over step by step, and when the army comes back, you have to mediate in the middle, and the signs of riots in various places must be suppressed, and Your Majesty can't be tired anymore."
Yan Song explained softly, there is nothing bad to say, these few of them are all promoted by His Majesty, and they are definitely cronies among his cronies, as long as they are people trusted by His Majesty, they can be trusted.
"That's good, you're all going to scare me to death, I thought Your Majesty was going to do something." Qi Jingtong glanced at him, a little dissatisfied, and hurried back in a hurry, scared all the way, it was not easy.
"The situation was not very good at the beginning, forget it, it's good to come back, and ah, Your Majesty plans to set up a military department, but I suppressed it, it's not that I look down on you, it's mainly that it's not suitable now." Yan Song didn't hide it, this kind of thing is better than what the parties say, although it is kind, but he is also afraid that this guy will not be able to think about it, after all, they all work together, it is not good to have a gap after all, at least there can be no suspicion now.
"It should be, I should be a big one, Your Majesty has mentioned it before, but I definitely can't do this kind of thing, you can let me lead troops to fight, but I really can't do it if I am asked to manage government affairs, this is good, lest I go wrong and embarrass Your Majesty, anyway, I will be obedient, and I will do whatever Your Majesty asks me to do."
Qi Jingtong patted his chest, and said that he didn't talk about rights, the key is that he can't do this kind of thing, if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter if he is punished, the key is that he is afraid of losing His Majesty's face.
Yan Song smiled, this is also good, at least you still have self-knowledge, but if Your Majesty asks you to do it, you have to do it, even if you can't, you have to learn to do it.
"The establishment of the military department is imperative, it's just a push back, I have already told Your Majesty, let you enter the cabinet first and study it, the military department will still be established later, you can't run away, you follow and study hard, if you don't understand anything, just ask me and Lu Fang, it's not that you dare to do it if you want to do it, you won't have to study hard."
"Huh? You let me enter the cabinet with a big boss? Why don't you tell Your Majesty? Qi Jingtong had a bitter face, he is a military general, he really doesn't want to get involved in this, there are too many intrigues in the civil official, don't look at his majesty on the battlefield, he is just a little scum when he goes in, and if he doesn't pay attention to being pitted, there are not even bones and scum left.
"It's not like you can enter if you want to enter, but if you don't want to enter, the military department that Your Majesty thinks is at the same level as the cabinet, I will find a way for you to slow down, you have to study hard, I will try to teach you, otherwise how to lead the military department?" Yan Song glanced at him, do you think I want you to do it, but he also knows what His Majesty means, the separation of military and political affairs is good for everyone, and he can rest assured that the rights in his hands are divided, and he doesn't want to care about the affairs of the army, it is very troublesome.
"The military department will definitely be established, but it will not necessarily let me go." Qi Jingtong pursed his lips, he knew about Wang Yangming's existence, and the position of the number one in the military department in His Majesty's mind must be Wang Yangming.
In fact, he also thinks so, a person like General Wang is suitable for sitting in this position, he is weak when he goes up, but General Wang They seem to have disappeared for a long time, and he doesn't dare to check or ask.
His Majesty must have given him some very important tasks, I just hope he will come back soon, he really can't do it and doesn't want to do it.
"What do you say?" Yan Song squinted his eyes, it wasn't for him, who was it for, it made sense, Your Majesty didn't know Qi Jingtong's ability, it was okay to fight, but these things were handed over to him, it was definitely a chicken feather, it seemed that there was a suitable candidate, and it was also a character that made Qi Jingtong happy and convinced.
"Ah, I didn't say anything, I must study hard." Qi Jingtong snorted, it seems that there has been no news of Wang Yangming, if Your Majesty doesn't say it, then he will forget it, there must be something important, anyway, he is counting on Wang Yangming.
He doesn't plan to be the supreme commander of the military, after all, his family knows his own affairs, and it's no problem to be a forward general, but he is really a head or two big for some things in politics.
He only knows that everything is up to His Majesty, but this is the premise that he is a small general, once the power in his hands is great, he can't ask His Majesty what to do in every detail.
And let him make decisions about these things, he is easy to make mistakes, after all, the kind of intrigue in politics, he really can't handle it, he thinks it's good now, the main thing is to be comfortable, as long as he is dedicated to completing the tasks assigned by His Majesty, don't worry about other things, how good.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, but no matter who it may be in the future, at least it is you now, Your Majesty also means to cultivate you first, anyway, you just need to study well, it just so happens that the military merit system is going to be made out recently, and you will also give advice, after all, you are their supreme commander."
Yan Song didn't bother to ask, anyway, what His Majesty meant was to cultivate Qi Jingtong first, if it didn't work, then talk about it, if he could, this kid would have to go if he didn't go.
"I know, I know, what kind of charter is that military merit system, you don't have no score at all, right?" He may not care about anything else, but he is still very concerned about this Qi Jingtong, he doesn't care, now his Yulu won't starve to death.
But he needs to fight for his people, this is a real benefit, if he didn't say it, it's fine, since he said it, if he didn't, it would be too disappointing.
Yan Song explained simply, and then said softly: "Your Majesty is still unified with the four points of military merit of an enemy, but there is another problem, that is, according to this standard, those who do not participate in the battle will suffer very much, especially senior commanders such as you, who can't share much military merit at all, so you have to change it, mainly because you have been too busy recently, Your Majesty means that the military merits of the non-commissioned officers will be sent down first, and those who want to exchange silver will have it, and as for the promotion of the position, it still needs to be pondered." ”
"That's good, it's good, I don't think there's any problem with eating with my ability, I'm a little less, I'm a little less, it's definitely more than ordinary soldiers." Qi Jingtong didn't feel anything, although he felt that an enemy was only worth four taels a little little, after all, His Majesty made so much money.
But how to say it, he also has to weigh His Majesty, four taels is not a lot, killing three is worth a year's salary, more work and more rewards, there is no big problem.
"You think it's good, but what about the non-commissioned officers below you? Although some people don't go to the battlefield, their role doesn't have to be weak, so they don't give them military merits? So, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and ah, the pension of the family members should also be discussed, it is not good if it is too high, it is not good if it is too low, what kind of figure has to be considered, I mean give a foundation, and then add their military merits, after all, we are not greedy for others, how much should be how much, and it will not let the soldiers have worries. ”
Yan Song has also considered the affairs of the army, but how to say it, he has a specialization in the art industry, he doesn't know much about this aspect of things, and now that Qi Jingtong is back, of course I have to ask his opinion, the most important thing is that this guy should also learn how to do these things, and slowly start to start, it just so happens that there are many things in the cabinet, and there are many people with more hands and more brains.
"That's it, I think I still have to think about it, what you said makes sense, I'll go back and think about it at night, but you're really annoying, I thought you were all done when you came back, why do you seem to have left everything to me now?" Qi Jingtong scratched his head, he was so irritable, he naturally hoped that the higher the better, but how to say it, it was not very realistic, and he needed a more appropriate value.
At the beginning, it can be raised after a little lower, if it is set high, the country can't afford it, it will not be good, although Your Majesty now has a lot of money, but the country's annual income is only how much, and the army's expenditure is already very large, at least the previous military expenditure can have a dozen or two hundred thousand a year, thank God, now it is millions and millions of dollars, and he is content.
He is a barbarian, but it doesn't mean that he is stupid, he doesn't seek height, stability is the most important thing, as long as it is stable, the soldiers can accept it, who can stand the ups and downs.
"Who are you not going to hand it over, the cabinet has a lot of things, I want you to see what else to do? If you help me be the examiner, I'll help you design the plan. Yan Song glanced at him, just kidding, do you think that coming to the cabinet really makes you eat and wait for death, you have to work, it's not good for you to design your own rules on your own territory, everyone else is laughing to death, there is no need to avoid suspicion at all.
"It's free, I can't do anything about the reader, I'll do this thing." Qi Jingtong hurriedly shook his head, joking, the mouths of those scholars are not easy to mess with, if they know that he is a military general and is the chief examiner of the imperial examination, the court will not be scolded to death, correspondingly, he will also be scolded to death.
Although he doesn't care, who wants to be scolded for no reason, it's not good and he makes a fuss, it's better to do military affairs, at least he can still have some ideas.
"That's right, this should have been a matter of the military department, you should be content, you think about it, the general framework is set, Lu Fang and I can still help you make up for it, if I don't pull you into the cabinet, you have to do these things yourself, think about it." Yan Song glanced at him, Lao Tzu, this is a favor for you, okay, don't look reluctant, you should have done it yourself.
"Really?" Qi Jingtong was stunned for a moment, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed very reasonable, if His Majesty really did this, it is estimated that the affairs of the army would really be thrown to him, and it would be terrible to think about it.
"Yes, you can be content, this matter will be left to you, and don't forget to do other things, you don't have many tasks, but they are all very important, come on." Yan Song left after a few words of encouragement, and after the celebration banquet was over, he had to go back to work.
Qi Jingtong scratched his head, this situation seems to be a little wrong, has he been fooled?
