Chapter 303: Shang Fang
"See Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! β
In the palace, the nobles and military ministers saluted one after another.
"Zhu Qing is flat." Zhu Di waved his hand, "Today's banquet can be regarded as a reception banquet for the national teacher, and you can drink it freely." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" The lords cheered.
It was a real cheer, because at the banquets that the emperors entertained them, there were usually some old wines that could not be drunk outside.
Well, this matter has something to do with Lao Zhu.
It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang raised the army, the common people offered their own rice wine, after drinking Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, still unfinished, he ordered people to drink the remaining wine buried in the ground, waiting for the triumphant day and then open the altar to drink, Zhu Yuanzhang called the emperor, drank the remaining wine at that time, because buried in the ground for many years to make the purity of the wine better, the taste is better, and then Zhu Yuanzhang called this wine "sealed bottle wine", since then it has become a way to store wine.
At the banquet of Emperor Yongle, what he drank was the "autumn dew white" sealed in the Hongwu era.
In Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, Wang Shizhen, who was rumored to be the author of "Golden Vase Plum", once wrote "Twenty Uniques Before and After Wine": Yulu condensed clouds in mid-air, and the silver trough cried in autumn. The Xue family's new lotus color is good for Qingzun and Bi Tube.
This poem describes the autumn dew white, which is a high-degree sorghum shochu with a mellow taste.
But Jiang Xinghuo tasted it, and the evaluation was like that.
Because Jiang Xinghuo is still more accustomed to drinking baijiu, but in fact, the popularity of baijiu in Huaxia began in the era of his sixth life.
In the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a literati doctor or a martial artist Qiu Ba, they did not drink liquor, and even called it "stinky wine", and because it needed to be distilled more than twice, the amount of food consumed was very large.
The atmosphere at the banquet was quite warm, and the founding nobles of Hongwu had become aristocratic and were still a little reserved, but the nobles of Jingnan were basically middle and lower-level officers of Yanshan Sanwei and Daning Sanwei a few years ago.
"Come, I'll give you another drink!"
"Don't do this, I can't do it......"
"If you can't do it, you have to pour it into Lao Tzu!"
"Hey, I'm really bad......"
Jiang Xinghuo shook his wine glass and said to the old monk beside him: "If this wine is of higher purity, it can sterilize the injured soldiers, and it can prevent the flesh and blood from festering and amputating." β
Before Yao Guangxiao answered, Qiu Fu, the old general who was sitting next to him with a golden knife, turned his head and asked himself.
"And that kind of thing?"
"Yes." Jiang Xinghuo affirmed.
Alcohol with a concentration of more than 75% is enough to kill bacteria, and in this era, if it is for battlefield care, then a little lower can be okay.
Again, having is better than nothing.
As for civilian promotion, it is better to wait for the army to find it easy to use, so it is more reliable.
Otherwise, when you go to the clinic to recommend alcohol sterilization, people will "yes yes yes" on the surface, and they will pour this stinky wine into the gutter.
Qiu Fuhu asked: "So what is the bacteria that the national teacher is talking about?" β
Jiang Xinghuo was stunned, and only said: "It's a mess of dirty things, which are invisible to the naked eye." β
"Oh~"
The old general drank a glass of wine and had a conclusion in his heart.
It turned out that he was also a god and a ghost, no wonder Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain was so touted.
However, when he thought of Zhang Yuchu, Qiu Fu rubbed his waist and eyes, but he was worried about sending someone to ask for a few more secret elixirs from Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
The banquet was getting better, and Zhu Di suddenly raised his more retro wine cup (bronze) and walked to the bottom of the golden steps.
After going around with the dukes one by one, Zhu Di put down the wine cup and clapped his hands.
Hearing his father's signal, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know when he came out, still carrying a knife in his hand.
Just now, Zhu Di was afraid that this stupid son would not judge the situation well, so he rushed into the crowd without saying a word, so he specially sent him to the harem to inform Empress Xu, and sent the calmer third Zhu Gaosui to take the loyal and righteous guards commanded by Jin Wuwei and Tong Xin to besiege him.
Now Zhu Gaoxu obviously took this knife before turning it back.
Looking at the treasure knife in his hand, Zhu Gaoxu handed it over to his father with some reluctance.
This knife is the knife that Zhu Di saw when he came to the prison after Jiang Xinghuo passively escaped from prison by mistake.
The drunken warriors consciously stopped and looked at Emperor Yongle one after another.
"Qiang~"
Zhu Di pulled out this dark golden long knife, which was covered with tiny scratches, obviously from the battlefield, and was not an ornamental item.
"I once promised the national teacher to give him a sword."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "But thinking about it, ordinary swords have no special meaning, today the national teacher has calmed down the chaos caused by thousands of prisoners with the power of one person, and I will give this sword to the national teacher." β
Under the palace lamp of the temple of the body, the dark golden long knife flashed with a chilling glow.
There is no shortage of knowledgeable Hongwu nobles who recognized the origin of this knife.
"This is General Xu Da's saber!"
"I heard that it was forged by a famous craftsman with 10,000-year-old meteoric iron, and it was unmatched in sharpness!"
Zhu Di put the knife back into its sheath and placed it in front of Jiang Xinghuo.
"The national teacher holds this knife and presides over the reform of the law, if you can't ask for instructions, the officials under the four grades can be cut first and then played!"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Shang Fang sword or Shang Fang sword, Shang Fang sword, are all old sayings, according to the "former Han Shu Zhu Yun Biography", Zhu Yun Shangshu Emperor once said, "I wish to give the minister Shang Fang to cut the horse sword, cut off one of the ministers to force the rest".
In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen also first sealed the sword of Shang Fang, according to the law to punish the traitorous stolen goods, as one of the emperor's most trusted people, holding this sword as the emperor in person, there is the privilege of cutting first and then playing, of course, the first cut and then the play must also act according to the law, can not come nonsense.
But before that, the line of slashing had never been so high as the fourth grade!
It must be known that the level of one product and one product is three public and three orphans, which is basically not permanent.
The second product and the second product are the Shangshu, the commanders, the political envoys, etc., which are basically the leaders of the six central departments or the three local departments.
The three products and the three products are the squires and the temple secretaries. Sipin and Cong Sipin are the second-in-command of Shaoqing and the local three divisions.
In other words, Jiang Xinghuo took this knife and had the power to nominally kill almost all civil officials except for the first-hand and second-hand officials of the six central departments and the three local departments!
This kind of power is simply unprecedented!
However, what can reassure these military ministers and nobles is that because Lao Zhu is more careful, the rules set by the founding of the country, the prince and the concubine are all superb, and Shang Fang's treasure knife can't cut their heads.
So, after the initial shock, they gloated instead.
After all, whether it is the Jingnan nobles who do not support or oppose the reform of the law, or the second and third generations of the Hongwu founding nobles who are generally inclined to change the law, they all have a common enemy, that is, civil officials.
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the Shang Fang Treasure Knife in front of him, and knew that this was actually a reward for Zhu Di for his smooth handling of the trouble of the Guozi Prison Prisoner tonight, and it was also a declaration of trust and support for the change of law in front of so many noble and military ministers.
Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo was no longer hypocritical, and took Shang Fangbao's knife with both hands.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After handing over the Shang Fang Treasure Sword to Jiang Xinghuo, Zhu Di did not return to his dragon chair, but continued to announce.
"I intend to restore the martial arts system of the Song Dynasty and establish the Ming Royal Military Academy."
The nobles were in good spirits, and the main event came.
This is a matter directly related to the direct interests of these military ministers, just like the imperial examination is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, people with a little sensitivity can think that if Emperor Yongle established this so-called "Ming Royal Military Academy", then the officers trained in this military academy will be the backbone of the "three major battalion military reform plan" that is rumored to be rumored?
This is not only the Hongwu founding nobles who stood in the wrong team before want to get on the bus again, but even the Jingnan nobles are also very enthusiastic about this kind of thing involving the distribution of military power.
"The first principal of the Military Academy, for Qi Guogong Qiu Fu, coordinates the preparation and construction of the military academy."
This candidate is not too surprising to the nobles, after all, Qiu Fu's age and qualifications are here, in this kind of critical position, Emperor Yongle will inevitably use his own people, Jing Nanxun Guili is now three living princes, Yao Guangxiao, the prince of Rongguo, who is biased towards Wenchen, will also preside over the reform of the law, and Qiu Fu, the prince of Qi Guo, is the best candidate among the military ministers.
"Vice principal, for the national teacher Jiang Xinghuo, preside over the arrangement of specific teaching affairs."
Hearing this arrangement, many nobles couldn't help but set their eyes on Jiang Xinghuo's body.
After all, it has been more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and these aristocratic Hongwu founding nobles have been cultivated into people who are well versed in various rules, such as icing on the cake, such as throwing favorites.
The national teachers lead the reform of the law, and they do not harm their interests, and they do not oppose it; Helps to expand their benefits and they will see the situation in support. But that's about it.
However, the vice principal of the Daming Royal Military Academy is a position of real power, which directly affects the future and fate of their children and grandchildren, who are still middle-level officers with qualifications.
This is worth these nobles, really spend some thought, and have a good time with this national teacher.
However, Zhu Di's new tricks tonight are obviously not over yet.
"In addition, in view of the role of firearms in the battlefield during the Fengtian Rebellion, I decided to introduce firearms-related subjects in the Ming Royal Military Academy. The purely firearms tax guards will be trained together with the Ming Royal Military Academy, and the command of the musketeers, the command of the artillery, and the ancillary courses are all arranged by the national teachers. β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the nobles and military ministers began to discuss.
After all, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, there was also a chain of contempt between the various branches of the army.
Cavalry units looked down on infantry units, and infantry units looked down on firearms units.
Zhu Di finally said: "The venue of the Ming Royal Military Academy and the tax guards is uniformly selected in Yanziji, and from tomorrow, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies will allocate funds to start building, and it will be better as soon as possible!" β
