"oh?"
Chongzhen was shocked and immediately became interested: "Sun Aiqing, tell me, I want to see which great talent can catch Sun Aiqing's eye!"
"Your Majesty, when I was serving as governor in Liaodong, I met a strange man.
He assisted me in inspecting the terrain inside and outside Shanhaiguan, studying the enemy's situation, assisting in combat, resisting Hou Jin's attack, and recovering the forty-five forts in the Nine Cities of Liaodong. He has certain contributions! "
Hearing this, Yuan Keli's eyes flashed and he immediately said: "Is Mr. Sun Ge talking about Mao Yuanyi?"
"Have you ever heard of Yuan Ge?"
"Not only have I heard of him, I have also been friends with him for a long time. It's a pity that I haven't met him yet!"
Listening to the conversation between Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, the ministers suddenly became curious, while Yuan Chonghuan, who had been silent on the side, looked even more gloomy.
Chongzhen frowned slightly. The name Mao Yuanyi was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"His "Military Preparation" is read through frequently. Every item included in this military book is an examination of its origins, as well as its views on various issues.
The material is rich and well-chosen. The most important thing is that the whole book is centered around the issue of armaments.
And it is hard to imagine that he was not yet twenty years old when he wrote this book. "
Listening to Wu Beizhi, the memory in Chongzhen's mind was instantly activated, and he knew who Mao Yuanyi was.
This book was called a treasure house of military literature by later generations. It is a large-scale information work with data value as the main focus and theoretical value as a supplement.
After Jiannu entered the customs, because Mao Yuanyi's purpose of writing this book was to defend the Ming Dynasty and to fight against the Hou Jin regime, Wu Beizhi was listed as a banned book by Jiannu.
The fact that it was listed as a banned book by the Jiannu slaves shows the military influence of this book.
If the slaves had paid attention to this book after entering the customs, given the national strength at that time, perhaps we would not have been humiliated by the West for more than half a century.
But Chongzhen was still a little confused and asked immediately: "Sun Aiqing, since Wu Beizhi is so highly praised by you, I don't think others know much about Mao Yuanyi?"
"Your Majesty, this book was compiled, engraved and printed by Mao Yuanyi. There was only a small amount in the early stage. I gave it to several people including me. I would like to ask you to write a preface and revise it.
But at that time, I was busy with matters in Liaodong, and the Wei party blocked it, so this book was only circulated in the hands of a few people.
Later, Mao Yuanyi was dismissed and exiled one after another, making it even less likely that this book would be widely circulated! "
"Reduced position? Exiled?"
Chongzhen frowned: "What's going on? Tell me the specific situation!"
Listening to the emperor's inquiry, Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment and whispered: "Last year, Mao Yuanyi wanted to present the Military Bei Zhi to Xizong, but he was slandered by Wang Zaijin and others, and was exiled to Dingxingjiang Village for the crime of arrogance. "
"What's the truth?"
"Actually, Mao Yuanyi is not arrogant. He is just a little more fierce in his words. It is understandable that young people want to serve the country. Your Majesty can check with Jinyiwei."
"Asshole!"
Chongzhen's face darkened. Since Sun Chengzong dared to say this, it meant that Mao Yuanyi was just being rude.
Then he looked at Han Huang and said, "Han Aiqing, I remember that Wang Zaijin was convicted of flattery in the Wei Dynasty Rebellion Case for participating in the compilation of the "Three Dynasties Essential Code". He should be transferred to Nanjing to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"
"yes!"
"As an important minister of the imperial court, he does not want to select talents for the imperial court, but instead maliciously suppresses them. It is really abominable."
"Send an order to Nanjing to have Wang Zaijin dismissed from his post and investigated, and stripped of all titles!"
"I obey the decree!"
The ministers were also silent now, not daring to speak at all.
The conversation between Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli expressed their admiration for Mao Yuanyi, which was what the emperor desperately needed.
To stand out for a washed-up minister of the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing would make the emperor unhappy, and he might even be remembered by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli. The gain outweighed the loss.
Considering the importance of the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Academy, the position of dean is definitely more important than the Firearms Research Institute and the Agricultural Research Institute.
If Mao Yuanyi can become the emperor's speech, she will definitely be a new star.
"Li Ruolian, send someone to Dingxing to ask Mao Yuanyi to return to Beijing. I want to summon him!"
"Yuan Aiqing, can you lend me your copy of "Military Bei Zhi"?"
"Okay, let's retreat!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got off the platform.
After walking out of the Huangji Palace, Chongzhen whispered: "Big companion, let the Jinyi guards check Mao Yuanyi, and be quick!"
Half an hour later, Yuan Keli personally sent Wu Beizhi to Dongnuan Pavilion.
Chongzhen was a little surprised when he looked at the five thick stacks of Wu Bei Zhi, which contained seventy or eighty books. According to this kind of printing, it must have at least two million words, which is simply a masterpiece!
After being surprised, he picked up the top book and started flipping through it: "Yuan Aiqing, give me a brief introduction to this book!"
"Your Majesty, this book has a grand system, clear organization, and unified style. It categorizes more than two thousand military books of various dynasties.
It is divided into five major categories: military strategy review, strategic examination, formation training system, military capital multiplication, and accounting. Each major category is divided into several subcategories, such as "Military Capital Multiplication", which is further divided into eight categories. Sixty-four items.
This book is completely orderly and inseparable from theory to practice!
I think that with a little trimming and layering, this book can be directly placed in the martial arts hall and used as a material for teaching the students of the martial arts hall. "
Chongzhen put down the book, patted dozens of books gently, and whispered: "Then can Mao Yuanyi serve as the deputy dean of the Martial Arts Hall?"
"I thought I could give it a try. Let's not talk about his management ability. From a purely military point of view, it is definitely feasible.
Being able to summarize and analyze thousands of military classics is a logical ability that is rare among his peers.
Someone gave it: He came out of Xiwu when he was young, and his name became Bei Que Wen. He is called a scholar at the end of the curtain, and he is about to join the army when he mounts his horse, which is a testament to his talent. "
Chongzhen pondered for a moment: "I'll think about this again, you go ahead and get busy!"
Yuan Keli left, and Chongzhen slowly looked through the preface of each book.
Two days later, in Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen looked at the investigation results about Mao Yuanyi sent by Jinyiwei, his eyes full of weirdness.
This person actually had no fame, but assisted Sun Chengzong in regaining the Forty-Five Forts in Nine Cities. He was recommended to the Imperial Academy of the ninth rank to await imperial edicts, and was mainly responsible for the proofreading of Zhang Shu's literary history.
For such a small official position, Wei Zhongxian was demoted, which shows that he is afraid of him.
What's even more interesting is that Mao Yuanyi actually took famous Qinhuai prostitutes Yang Wan and Wang Wei as his concubines.
Chongzhen also couldn't understand why these literati liked to take famous prostitutes as concubines.
Qian Qianyi is like this, Mao Yuanyi is like this, and Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Lian, the Minister of War, took Li Xiangjun from the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai more than ten years later, as well as Chen Yuanyuan and Wu Sangui, Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan...
But it's no wonder, his grandfather is a famous bibliophile, young and rich, charming and famous, what girl wouldn't love him?
"Hey, since ancient times, talented people have loved beautiful women. Although Mao Yuanyi is romantic, the fact that he can compile a book in that kind of environment shows that he has a detached mind and self-discipline. Let's call him to have a look first!"
After muttering to himself, Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen: "Big companion, pass on Mao Yuanyi!"
