Emperor Zhengde was watching the military performance of the guards, his camp tent was set up at the top, and there were important officials such as the six ministries and Jiuqing by his side.

At the bottom of the slope are soldiers from both sides caught in a 'brawl'.

It is not easy to say that famous generals are still out, there is a Zhou Shangwen and a Wang Shouren, and it is not easy to find two people with extremely outstanding military talents in the Chengping era.

Any more is a luxury, but fortunately, these commanders he has now, personal bravery is no problem, but it is true that there is any command talent that surprises everyone.

Therefore, the two sides fought wildly, and in the end, it became a collision of courage and physical strength between each other.

Even so, Zhu Houzhao is satisfied with this. The roars of the soldiers shook the sky, the spirit was full, and the old, weak, sick and disabled that had appeared in the past disappeared, and were replaced by soldiers who were quite energetic and combatable.

That's enough.

"Da Sima."

Wang Bing approached the emperor's side, "The minister is here." ”

"I forgot for a while, the last time the military department went back to rectify the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division by itself, and now there are results? The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are also my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, if I pick a few guards and fight with them, can they win? ”

Wang Bing replied: "The minister has already explained this matter to the commander of the Terracotta Division, and asked him to strictly discipline the personnel of the Terracotta Division and replace the old and weak, which is also somewhat effective. ”

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips slightly,

He is now the emperor because of his 'experience'.

As soon as he heard this, he knew that the military department had not seriously implemented it.

Because the Admiral of the Soldiers and Horses Division is only six ranks, a big official, what can he do?

"I only care about you, the secretary of the military department, no matter who the commander of the soldiers and horses is. Something went wrong, I didn't look for you. Do you understand? ”

Wechen understood. Your Majesty can rest assured, after Weichen goes back, he will definitely increase the rectification of the Soldiers and Horses Division, in fact, Wechen has already classified some of them slightly, but in the Soldiers and Horses Division, the personnel are complicated, and some people ......"

"Who?"

"The minister didn't dare to say it."

"If you don't say it, you can deal with these people yourself."

Wang Bing thought to himself, then it was better to have the final say, "At the beginning, in order to show the royal family's kindness, Xianmiao sealed some of the concubines' families in the Soldiers and Horses. It's not that the ministers don't dare to offend them, but this matter involves His Majesty's filial piety, and His Majesty is invited to ...... Decided. ”

Emperor Xianzong's concubine......

Zhu Houzhao frowned, Wang Bing shouldn't dare to lie about these things, after all, he can find out as soon as he checks it.

And the logic is also valid, after all, in fact, the emperor really thinks that the people of the world should provide for them, and the people themselves are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

It is also because of these concepts that it is not a problem for the emperor's concubine's family to occupy some of the people's fat and people's ointment, because they are relatives of the royal family!

But it is actually a little difficult to fall into the hands of Zhu Houzhao, Xianzong ...... is equivalent to his grandfather, and the family of his concubines may now be seventy.

】

was supposed to give them a chance to lead the court,

After raising it for a lifetime, people must be a waste, and if they suddenly don't raise it at this time, some people will really die.

If this situation really occurs, it will actually hurt the image of the emperor's filial piety.

Because even Wenchen himself will feel ...... Some people have noble status, and it is nothing to be raised by the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, in an era when there is no idea of equality for all, if you have to cut the benefits of some nobles, it will be unacceptable to many people!

"Gather all these people who are like this, and then gather the people who can use them, and do so first. If the Division of Soldiers and Horses is not able to complete the rectification, the Ministry of War will dismantle it. ”

On the side, Liu Jin came over with small steps, "Your Majesty, the commanders of the twenty-five guards have arrived." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and moved forward with the horse's belly.

He remembered the names of these twenty-five people, but twenty-five was too many, and it was not good to read them out one by one here, so he just swept his eyes over everyone.

"Shangzhi's pro-guard can be said to be the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. Today you have all behaved very well, I have seen that every soldier is brave enough, after returning today, the pro-guard army must continue to maintain training, not to say that there is no battle, every day there is nothing to do, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, when you use you, you must be useful, this is the most fundamental requirement. ”

"There are still some things, let's make it clear in advance, the Shangzhi personal guard is the best salary among all the guards, so I have the highest requirements for you, you are all from the military academy, and you know that I pay the most attention to the discipline of the army, so you commanders don't report people who have committed adultery, I won't stare at you every day, but once you make a mistake, don't think about pleading. This is said in the front, and when there is a real day, don't say that I don't teach and be punished. You must know that military orders are like mountains, and it is for these four words that I will not spare anyone who violates the law! ”

"Wait for you to understand!"

"Good! Each of you will go back and gather your troops, and then you will take twenty men with you and hunt with me! ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have finally come out once, he was very interested in walking, sitting and lying, and he himself had a personal plan in the future, and he had riding and archery practice on weekdays, but it was the first time he had come out to hunt like today.

He is very happy as a young man, but he has suffered from Han Wen and Min Jue, who are seventy-somethings.

Zhang Fuhua, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came over to advise, "The ministers heard the emperor's rule, there is the benevolence of covering the world and taking it without effort, and there is the wisdom of the world and using it without labor." The way to govern the world cannot be generalized, and it is only two ways to know the people and the people. Now every year to perform martial arts, its fee, I hope that Your Majesty will prohibit indulgence and practice, rebuke heresy and Buddha, and use the Mianzong Society in Longchang. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't like to listen to this humanistic crepe's speech, so he didn't give a good face, "Performing martial arts is planned by me, there are no heretical people, and there is no heresy." Zhang Zongxian, governing the country depends on benevolence, morality, and filial piety, but sometimes it also depends on this short whip. Without it, it wouldn't work. ”

At the same time, he also saw that Han Wen and Min Jue seemed to be struggling, so he said: "I am in the prime of my youth, and it is okay to come out and ride a horse." A few old ministers should go back first, after all, the official martial arts exercise has ended. ”

Han Wen and Min Jue didn't dare to go, "Weichen and the others still have to accompany Your Majesty." ”

"No need, it's a holy decree to let you go back, Da Sima and Yang Jiefu can stay."

Soon after, the 25th Guard commanded the Emperor and some soldiers to surround the emperor and began to hunt.

In this process, there was also a holy decree that came out, saying: "Emperor Taizu Gao drove away the Yuan sin, used Xia to change the Yi, the Qiankun was cleared and carried right, and the sun and the moon were cleansed and heavy." When the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are unstoppable, I will re-ride and shoot today and remember the ancestors, and tell the kings of the future generations of the Ming Dynasty that the armament cannot be abolished, and the cavalry and shooting cannot be wasted! ”

The news came out,

Han Wen and Min Jue saw through the emperor's mind at a glance, and the emperor was somewhat interested in martial arts and hunting, so in order to avoid opposition, he issued a holy decree in such a name.

Now it's okay, if there is such an event next year, it will also be a remembrance of the ancestors.

“…… Fortunately, Your Majesty is indeed not a playful character, and now the military equipment has improved greatly, and the border troops in Beijing are all powerful, which can be regarded as a momentary success. Min Jue stroked his beard, and to be honest, he had no other way but to say that.

The same is true for Korean.

The two old men didn't plan to entangle too much with the emperor, originally the emperor was sympathetic to the old ministers, and letting them go back to rest was also to give them face.

However, when the subordinate helped Han Wen into the carriage, a person came from Han's mansion, and he rode a horse to deliver a letter.

Because it is Min Jue, Hangul does not avoid it.

After sitting in the carriage, he took it out and looked at it, but the more he looked at it, the deeper his brow became, and finally he sighed.

Min Jue was surprised, "What's wrong?" What's the opposite? ”

"It's not a bad thing. Take a look. ”

Han Wen rubbed his head and leaned back, looking tired.

Min Jue's reaction was similar to his, "Brother Guandao, you have to persuade Liqing no matter what!" ”

"If you listen to the old man, it won't be Gu Liqing." Han said quietly.

"But this matter is really important, if it causes the anger of the Holy Dragon Yan and really investigates this matter, then Liqing will also become the one who is lost in the future!"

Gu Zuo is hand-picked by Hangul, everything was fine before this year, as long as Hangul speaks, Gu Zuo can listen to it. But when the bird grows up, it always has to fly on its own.

"It's useless."

"Is it just watching?"

Neither of them is a very bad official, but the way of being an official is by no means a clear distinction between good and evil, some things can be investigated, and some things will destroy the overall situation.

Seeking a career in advance, this is a truth they firmly believe, but now Gu Zuo is unwilling to seek a career, and it is actually not conducive to him to seek a career like this.

"It's not like I'm just looking at it. Chao Ying, don't you say that Your Majesty doesn't know Liqing's temperament? Why did Your Majesty let Liqing go to inspect the salt? ”

Syllable.

Min Jue slapped his head, and he ignored it in a hurry just now, "Your Majesty wants to clean up the malpractice of the salt law!" No wonder, no wonder you want to suddenly perform martial arts at this time! ”

In such an instant, the two of them suddenly realized!

In that case, you're connected!

"Your Majesty deserves to be the emperor of my Ming Dynasty for five generations, so it is said that he has a strong will, even if he does not hesitate to use personal guards, he must push this matter hard. Na Liqing...... We can't persuade yet. ”

In case Gu Zuo is persuaded to do so, isn't this a major event that delays the emperor?

"You really can't be persuaded indiscriminately. His Majesty's intention to clean up the maladministration of the salt law and punish corrupt officials is also a good thing. Let's not go to the bad thing. ”

Originally, they were worried that the situation in the court would be unstable, but now it seems that it was the emperor's order.

The person who controls the overall situation is the emperor, and according to past experience, there is actually nothing to worry about.

In an instant, Han Wen figured everything out and made a big decision,

"This letter that Liqing wants to put on is ...... Let's let the old man come! ”

Because he knew that he really couldn't persuade Gu Zuo, so he could only hope to make Gu Zuo mature in this way.

He is already old, Gu Zuo is so young and deeply trusted by the emperor, maybe one day he, the Shangshu, will have to abdicate and give way to Xian, since this is the case, he is willing to end it in this way.

After he retreats, the court can also have a real person of his own. He believed that Gu Zuo would not be ungrateful to that extent.
