"Good archery skills!" A cheer rang out in the sparsely shaded palace garden. Yang Ye, who was wearing military uniform, looked at Emperor Liu with a smile on his face, almost praising him.
The cool autumn breeze stirred Emperor Liu's hair, and the autumn sun released a slightly cold light that shone on Emperor Liu's face, revealing a smiling face.
Thirty steps away, there are three archery targets. The middle one has a few scattered arrows, one of which has hit the bullseye and is still trembling slightly.
Facing Yang Ye's unintentional praise, Emperor Liu shook his head and said: "After shooting so many arrows, only one arrow hit. Such archery skills, tsk tsk... precious, you If you want to flatter me, you have to learn more from Zhao Pu and others..."
Hearing Emperor Liu's teasing words, Yang Ye felt a little ashamed and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty was joking, I was just expressing my feelings."
Emperor Liu glanced at Yang Ye, his gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he smiled again: "You are not a civil servant, so don't learn from their flattering words and beautiful words. You can't learn them either. You and I, the king and the ministers, know each other." When we intersect, just be natural!"
"Yes!" Yang Ye didn't know what to say other than yes. After thinking about it for a while, he solemnly said: "When it comes to shooting people and shooting targets, your Majesty's arrows may lack skills, but when it comes to shooting deer and shooting in the field, Your Majesty The arrows are flawless!"
"Okay!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and said: "Let you people accompany me, whether it is playing chess, archery, or drinking, you will hold me in your arms and talk sweetly, which is more beautiful and sweet than the beauties in the harem. However, If you hear similar words too many times, you’ll get tired of them and become boring!”
Today's Emperor Liu speaks more and more casually, not caring whether it will embarrass the person he is talking to. Raising his hand, Emperor Liu threw the hard bow in his hand to Yantuo. Yantuo was a little "unprepared". He seemed to be in a hurry, but he firmly grasped the bow. The funny feeling he showed in his haste made Emperor Liu very happy.
"Move too, don't stay there!" Emperor Liu turned his attention to the waiting prince Liu Yang, pointed at the target in front of him, and ordered.
"Yes!" Liu Yang showed a dull smile, took a bow, and said, "I'm showing off my shame!"
Liu Yang's shooting skills are also very loose and tight. Emperor Liu once joked that they were inherited from him. Of course, the prince who has been busy with state affairs these years has little time for such fun and entertainment. He neglects training and his skills are not good. Of course it’s not enough.
The prince began to practice archery in a serious manner, while Emperor Liu turned around and walked to the seat beside him, stuck his butt out, pressed it down, and invited Yang Ye to sit with him.
He took the silk scarf from the chamberlain and wiped his hands. Suddenly he became interested and looked at his hands. To be honest, Emperor Liu's hands are a bit ugly. They are not slender and have a loose flesh. They have been pampered for so long and have not turned white. The calluses left by years of activity have not faded. They have even become stiffer with the passage of time. .
Stretching out his hand and handing it to Yang Ye, Emperor Liu said with a smile: "Look at my hands, I have also picked up a pen and held a sword. However, my pen and ink are useless, and my martial arts are mediocre. But how can I be able to determine the troubled times and unify all directions? Obviously? , it is not me who brings peace to the world, but your outstanding talents, loyalty and bravery!"
"Your Majesty has given you such praise, I am honored to do so!" Yang Ye responded and said: "In my opinion, one day, the country will have a king. If your Majesty leads wisely and encourages us, we cows and horses will only work in vain. I don't know why.
It is precisely because of His Majesty's extraordinary judgment, superhuman courage, and superior foresight that the great Han Dynasty has reached its current heights. Your Majesty is kind and treats your ministers with meritorious service, but I only rely on your Majesty's mighty virtue and protection to have the opportunity to make a name for myself..."
"I didn't expect that you, Yang Chonggui, could be so articulate. You are so full of compliments!" I felt very comfortable being slapped by this rainbow fart, especially when the "honest man" said it like this. separated.
Facts have proved that Yang Ye also learned the tricks of Zhao Pu's ministers. It just depends on whether he is willing to follow the crowd.
"Enough chatting!" Emperor Liu leaned back and leaned on the quilt, his expression turned serious, and said: "How is the current situation of the Dianqian Division? I have heard some rumors that since the establishment of the Dianqian Division, Among all the palace commanders, you, Yang Ye, are the most leisurely..."
How could Emperor Liu not have some idea why this was so? But when he asked, it was Yang Ye's ability to cope that was tested.
Yang Ye was obviously stunned, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Everything in the Palace Front Division has been established for a long time and has a basis. There is guidance from the Privy Council above, and assistance from all the armies below. I, the commander-in-chief, only need to follow the instructions." Just act according to the rules..."
After hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled and said: "It seems that you are really comfortable as the commander-in-chief, and I also think it is very good. It is not only those who work tirelessly all day long and sleep well at night that can be a good minister.
However, although those rumors are not worth mentioning, they are still a bit harsh. Next, you must have more sense of urgency! The reform of the military system will be fully rolled out sooner or later. This is a matter related to the national army and the safety of the great men. Those of you who are commanders and generals must pay special attention.
I also know your feelings for the soldiers. There are too many brave and loyal officers and soldiers in the army. However, for the sake of the overall situation, what should be changed must be done.
I also firmly support the imperial court's decision. Since the big policy has been decided, there is no room for doubt and it must be fully implemented. You should also fully cooperate. You must appease the morale of the military and place retired soldiers in place to avoid causing trouble.
wucuoxs/42219/"The Evil God"
The army is the most reliable guarantee for the stability of the Han Dynasty. It doesn't matter if there are corrupt officials, treacherous ministers and thieves. Everything can be chaotic, but the army can never be chaotic!
The imperial army is the cornerstone of the national army, the royal guards of the imperial court, the embankment of the capital, and the front army are the top priority. This change started with the Forbidden Army. Although it is a trial, it must be tried out and serve as a model for the reorganization and reorganization of the national army.
Although the Central Committee has organized a group of people to take charge of this matter, I am not so reassured. I have to rely on you generals to take care of the key points for me.
You are the commander-in-chief of the palace, and you also shoulder the responsibility for the military disarmament and reform in front of the palace. If you encounter problems, you can solve them properly. If you have difficulties, you can contact the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, Zhao Pu, the Prince, or me. ....."
Emperor Liu talked a lot. During this rambling, Yang Ye's expression gradually became serious. When Emperor Liu finished speaking, he still hadn't reacted.
After noticing Emperor Liu's unfinished expression, Yang Ye stood up and solemnly bowed: "Your Majesty's instructions, now that I have read them, I will fully cooperate with the imperial government, nothing more!"
Seeing that Yang Ye acted solemnly as if he was obeying military orders, Emperor Liu also showed a look of satisfaction on his face. He nodded and said: "You, Yang Chonggui, have made a promise with a thousand pieces of gold. Since you have promised me, I also believe it!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
"By the way, this reform of the military system is not just as simple as reducing troops and horses. It involves all aspects. After the military system changes, how to adjust border defense, how to deploy the army, how to coordinate between regular soldiers and regiment training, including changes in the military logistics system, You should also think about it!" Emperor Liu ordered again in a caring tone.
Yang Ye was slightly stunned and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, these matters have to be considered by the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall. They are outside the minister's authority..."
"Can you continue to be a palace commander for the rest of your life?" Emperor Liu chuckled.
Seeing Yang Ye's thoughtful expression, Emperor Liu said simply: "Let me be frank. Your future destination will be to serve in the Privy Council or go to the border. I prefer to go abroad.
The reform of the military system, the Forbidden Army and the local armies in the mainland are easy to handle, and problems will not be too serious. However, the border areas are different. After the reform, the new border defense construction is perfect, and you, the experienced generals, are still needed to implement it. Only then can you rest assured, therefore, you must also participate deeply in the process of restructuring! "
Emperor Liu's words were sincere enough. Yang Ye obviously felt it. After thinking for a short time, he said seriously: "I understand, thank you for your consideration!"
