Back to the topic.
Because Fang Congzhe said so, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Yishui and Han Xu.
Liu Yishen said with some trembling: "The main reason for this matter is that there are different opinions between Han Gefu and Yuan Fu, and I feel that both cabinet ministers have their reasons, so I don't know what to say, and I also ask for your Majesty's sanction. "
Although Liu Yishui also disagreed with Xu Guangqi's proposal in his heart, he now decided to protect himself wisely, so he did not directly express his opinion.
Zhu Youxiao therefore looked at Han Xu.
Han Xu glanced at Liu Yishen. He didn't expect Liu Yishen to be so afraid to make up his mind now, so he had to say in person: "Your Majesty, from what I can see, martial arts has already been established. For example, it was used in the Northern Song Dynasty. Martial arts was later established by Ouyang Xiu, but it was useless and was abandoned. This dynasty also established martial arts, but it had to be abolished because it was useless. Therefore, I believe that establishing martial arts is useless. A good general is naturally brave and brave, even if he practices martial arts There is no need to set up a school to teach, it should be passed down from family or teacher."
Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Han Aiqing's understanding of good generals is still limited to the bravery of ordinary men. This can easily harm the country!"
Zhu Youxiao said that Han Xu was not unimportant.
After hearing this, Han Xu was indeed a little embarrassed, but after all, it was the emperor who criticized him, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only say: "I respectfully listen to the holy teachings!"
Zhu Youxiao continued: "Liu Wei and Du Song are not brave enough? But there is still the defeat of Saarhu. It can be seen that the battle formation has never been invincible by relying on the brave soldiers to win the three armies. What's more, firearms are now popular. Marching and fighting is more about tactics and a test of the general's strategy! Therefore, the leader also needs to learn and train to become a qualified military attache. Otherwise, how to lead the troops? Even if they are loyal and brave, they can only die on the battlefield, making the soldiers die in vain and fighting against the country. Useless!"
When Han Xu heard what Zhu Youxiao said, he naturally understood Zhu Youxiao's attitude, so he had to raise his hands and say: "Your Majesty is wise and wise! I am so stupid that I don't know this!"
Zhu Youxiao sneered secretly because of this and said in his heart: "You don't know the reason. You, Han Xu, are afraid that in the future, civil servants will no longer be more valuable than military ministers!"
then.
Zhu Youxiao said arbitrarily on the Qian Gang: "The cabinet immediately voted to agree to Xu Guangqi's memorial, and voted to include the following content:
Later, the Ming Dynasty Military Academy was set up in the Xiyuan of the Forbidden Court to train generals and troops, and the veteran generals recommended by Xu Guangqi were used. They were all promoted to the left and right governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, awarded Ronglu doctor, Jiazhuguo, and became the chief instructor of the Ming Dynasty Military Academy. He will go to the capital to train generals for the imperial court, and he will select outstanding children from his clan between the ages of 15 and 18 to enter the capital and prepare to be awarded the official position of Jin Yiwei to serve as my bodyguard! Give an unregistered official residence near Xiyuan as his residence! "
Zhu Youxiao had already prepared how to treat these old generals favorably, so that they would be willing to give up their retirement life after serving as officials and continue to serve the country. The way was naturally to increase their official positions and give them mansions in the capital to protect their children and grandchildren. In this way, these old generals would not be willing to join the army. Jing continued to shine for Ming Dynasty.
And when Zhu Youxiao asked them to choose a son to serve as a guard in the capital, he naturally meant to cultivate his own confidants.
After all, Zhu Youxiao had just ascended the throne, and there were still very few people who were truly loyal to him.
Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers all replied at this time: "I obey the order!"
After all, it was the emperor's personal order, so Han Xu and Liu Yishen did not dare to express any objections.
But it's not over yet.
Zhu Youxiao continued: "You go back to the cabinet to draw up a decree to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, reinstate him, add the posthumous title of Wenzheng, make him an earl, select his descendants to inherit it, and commemorate his contribution to the country, and Zhang Juzheng's descendants were also ordered to recommend among the clan members who are one year younger to come to Beijing and serve as royal guards in the Imperial Court!
In addition, the officials who were punished for supporting Zhang Juzheng's new policy after the 11th year of Wanli's meeting at the Ministry of Civil Affairs should all be submitted for vindication! "
Zhu Youxiao remembered that Zhang Juzheng's family not only worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, but also many of his descendants later died serving the country. Although Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty and a group of civil servants retaliated against Zhang Juzheng after Zhang Juzheng's death, they had done enough harm to the Zhang Juzheng family. It's miserable, but people are still loyal to Ming Dynasty, which is really rare.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to choose a child from the Zhang Juzheng family to stay with him as his future confidant.
Fang Congzhe and others were shocked after hearing this. They did not expect that the Emperor would vindicate Zhang Juzheng as soon as he ascended the throne.
But what they didn't expect was that it was still not over. Zhu Youxiao continued: "In addition, Qi Jiguang's contribution to pacifying the Japanese and the pacification of the captives must be awarded. He was only not awarded a title because he was involved in the previous dispute between the party and the prison. This will inevitably discourage those who want to make great achievements, so your cabinet has drafted a decree to confer the title of Marquis on Qi Jiguang, so that his descendants can succeed him."
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "I think that since the founding of the country, our emperor has always had famous ministers, generals and celebrities. However, after all, the country has not treated him favorably, which is really wrong. The cabinet has proposed that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry should appoint worthy ministers in the capital. The ancestral hall is to offer sacrifices to the virtuous ministers who have made great contributions to the country. In addition to those who founded the country and those who were in trouble, Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, etc. will be added to the list. The list will be reported to me when the time comes!
Among them, Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng and others deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple! Let Yu Qian also be granted the title of earl. I hope that if there is another crisis in the Ming Dynasty in the future, he will be able to turn the tide again. "
Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to give instructions: "Qin Liangyu's husband has been framed. It is also necessary to prepare a decree to vindicate him, and to add a third-level official title. The eunuch who framed him must die!"
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao directly granted the title of one Hou and two uncles in one go, and created several first-grade military attachés.
But Zhu Youxiao knew that this was the only way to revitalize the empire. Since he could tolerate the loss of more than half of Liao's salary by many corrupt officials, how could he be stingy in treating loyal ministers and good generals?
In fact, Zhu Youxiao felt that in the future, as ruthless as he would be to corrupt officials and scum who betrayed national interests, he would have to be as kind to the meritorious!
"I obey the decree!"
Fang Congzhe replied.
He could guess that the reason why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly rehabilitated Zhang Juzheng and even suddenly wanted to posthumously confer honors on the meritorious officials and military officers of the Ming Dynasty was because he was dissatisfied with himself as the chief minister.
But Fang Congzhe himself was helpless, because he knew that once he really wanted to be a chief assistant who satisfied the emperor, the bureaucrats all over the world would be very dissatisfied with him.
Because not to mention Zhang Juzheng's fate, even Wang Xijue was scolded by the officials for flattering the emperor a little bit in the dispute over the country's foundation, so Fang Congzhe secretly sighed that it was not that he didn't want to do it but that he really couldn't do it.
Liu Yishui and Han Xu also knew what the emperor meant, but they didn't like a strong chief minister like Zhang Juzheng, just like they didn't like a strong emperor in their hearts.
However, Liu Yishui and Han Xu were more sensible and did not dare to openly oppose Zhu Youxiao. Instead, they followed Fang Congzhe and replied: "I obey the decree!"
Because Zhu Youxiao formulated his opinions on how to deal with the matter reported by Xu Guangqi and demanded that Zhang Juzheng and others be rehabilitated, and he treated the civil servants and generals who made meritorious service to the Ming Dynasty favorably.
Therefore, the three cabinet ministers Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu could only act according to the order after returning to the cabinet.
