In the next three days, the emperor really went to court more often to meet with ministers, and to alienate villains by making plays in person.
The newly appointed Chief of Ceremony, Zhang Jin, is obedient and low-key, and does not interfere at all.
Zhang Zuo, who had been taught a lesson, began to pay close attention to Queen Mother Zhang. Will she have any reaction to the fact that the emperor has decided to pursue the title of emperor and give the princess a queen name?
The court meeting also calmed down, and the emperor was no longer aggressive.
The morning jog in the middle of the morning meeting no longer happened: I heard that I still ran every day, but changed it to before the morning meeting.
Even though there have been thunderstorms in the past few days, the rain has not stopped yet.
You can't say this is just a quirk of his to keep fit.
However, it is strange to think that there is a running emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the palace.
So Yang Tinghe also sincerely advised him at the court meeting: Don't run when it rains. What should you do if you fall or catch the cold?
The emperor followed the good advice: If the rain is too heavy, it will naturally stop. The current rain has been maintained in Anlu before.
My body bones are not that brittle.
At the court meeting, the emperor just calmly asked everyone for their opinions on various matters, and then emphasized that he should first formulate a detailed strategy and submit it to the ministers, and then discuss it with the cabinet ministers to make a decision.
It seems that as long as the issue of non-heirs is over and there is a new trend of discussing matters in the court, the emperor will be satisfied.
The rest is really a peaceful situation where the young emperor relies on his auxiliary ministers.
Yang Tinghe burst into tears.
Of course, there are some new changes in the situation: many things require the person or department to come up with strategies, and the cabinet's room for voting seems to be much smaller. If it were not for the controversial strategies involving multiple departments, the cabinet would seem to be able to make only a few additions.
But would a figure like Wang Qiong leave room for the cabinet to make additional suggestions on the civil affairs affairs under his jurisdiction?
As for the opposition of cabinet ministers, that is another matter.
Under the tone of Zhu Houcong's stated attitude of "examining the talents and character of all officials", people like Wang Qiong are currently trying their best to show their talents and loyalty, and other middle- and high-level bureaucrats do not want to be seen by the emperor as "incompetent and incompetent". The "virtue" side.
The efficiency Zhu Houcong wants exists temporarily, but it is only superficial.
The solution for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin's lack of family assets has not yet been decided.
The plan to reset the three major battalions, Zhu Houcong's concern about how to relocate the dismantled officers and soldiers, the military ministers' concern about the size of the new three major battalions and the establishment of officials, and the civil servants' concern about the military power system have not been finalized.
Because those scumbags in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion still can't present their own strategy! Should we let the civil servants and the Ministry of War arrange it alone?
I'm really worried!
"Mr. Xu, Commander Xu!" Guo Xun looked anxious in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, "You are the Left Commander of the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion! His Majesty has decided to reset the three major battalions. You must take the lead in presenting the selection and training strategy. We have to come up with a strategy for selecting the generals of each battalion! Our Fifth Army Commander’s Office doesn’t have a strategy, but the Ministry of War has to make the decision!”
"...You are the Governor of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. You have sacrificed heaven and earth on your behalf. You can also come up with strategies." Xu Guangzuo was worried and looked at Zhu Fu, who was older than him, "Cheng Guogong, you What do you think?"
Zhu Fu looked over one by one. In addition to Xu Guangzuo and Guo Xun, there were also the British Duke Zhang Lun, the Marquis of Taining Chen Ru, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xining Song Liangchen who came to represent his father, and the grandson of the Marquis of Xianning Qiu Luan who came to represent his grandfather who was seriously ill. …
It can be said that it is a big gathering of honorable ministers in Beijing, and they have chosen to be in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. No one knows what is going on, so they are not afraid now.
But Zhu Fu felt that everyone was very afraid, including himself.
He let out a long sigh: "How can the strategy we come up with compare to that of the Ministry of War? Don't you know what kind of masters and stewards you have? If you leave the three battalions to us, you can't practice them. Can you train the elite soldiers His Majesty wants?"
It is indeed tempting to reset the three major battalions, but who are these hereditary ministers and generals now?
Who were those princes and princes in the early period of Yongle and Xuande orthodoxy?
Zhang Lun, the grandson of the illustrious British Duke Zhang Fu who conquered Cochin, lowered his head in shame: You don't have the ability, do you know?
Seeing this situation, Guo Xun, who was determined to seize the opportunity, became anxious: "Historically, the capital camp has been in charge of the honorable ministers, guarding the emperor and controlling all the borders. Now your majesty wants the Beijing camp to be a real elite army. Do we, the honorable ministers and generals, want your majesty to do it?" Are you disappointed? Your Majesty must hope that we will not be so cowardly!"
Qiu Luan, who originally came here to ask these senior ministers to help him speak for himself and successfully inherit the title in the future, tried to speak: "Elders... how about... go to Gongsheng and invite two people to catch swords? The imperial examination is coming soon. If the strategy they help us draw up according to our wishes is favored by His Majesty, it should be a good thing, right?"
Civil servants who were interested in making contributions to this matter gathered around the Ministry of War and cabinet ministers to make suggestions and suggestions. It cannot be said that there is no one available in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, it can only be said to be basic waste.
Guo Xun's eyes lit up, and he raised his thumbs up when he saw Qiu Luan, who was only sixteen years old: "Little Qiu'er, this is a good idea! Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhu, we can't be afraid of wolves in front of us and tigers in back. We don't know how to dance with words. But we always have an account in our minds about which distinguished generals should be used in these three new battalions, right? We have secret treasury, we have the money to confiscate our homes this time, and we have enough money, but we are afraid that we will not be able to select good soldiers or train them. Elite soldiers coming?"
He also knew that most of these hereditary ministers were useless now, and he did not expect that Qiu Luan's idea was actually difficult, but Guo Xun, who was thirty-six years old, really wanted to seize this opportunity.
Zhu Fu is already old, Xu Guangzuo is also old, Xu Pengju is too young, and most of the other princes have lost their enterprising spirit.
At first, I thought that His Majesty's proposal to reset the three major battalions was to continue to elevate the status of the military ministers to compete with the civil servants, but then everyone understood: Your Majesty was serious.
Then I can't afford to play, because I'm afraid of being incompetent.
What if we fail to train elite soldiers, civil servants focus on impeachment, and the emperor is angry that they are useless and seize the world certificate?
No fault is nothing but merit, and these honorable ministers know best.
Guo Xun yelled for a while, only to get a lot of flinching. He looked up to the sky and sighed: How can I help His Majesty control the military with these insects?
Eunuchs have more eggs than many people!
"Is it possible to serve as a battalion officer instead of leading a battalion? What about the commander-in-chief?" Guo Xun said earnestly, "Those of your nephews and nephews in your family who have not yet held the title of nobility or are not qualified to do so should give it a try! It is rare for His Majesty to be brave and brave and insist on becoming a civil servant. We have decided to reset the three major camps. If we can’t count on it this time, it will be really hard to predict in the future!”
He always means the same thing: you, the ministers who are getting fatter and fatter, must consider whether this is the only opportunity in this life or even for future generations! It is our duty to restore the glory of our distinguished ministers!
"We can't help His Majesty train the three major battalions. There is always someone who can do it! Those who have been in charge of the capital camp for generations can only be ministers, not generals! If we can't do this, can we still keep our world certificate? ? How many years have civil servants been petitioned to be demoted and reduced?" Guo Xun had a headache. "Take out more of the wine bags and rice bags that have been stuffed in. There are capable small flags, general flags, hundreds of officials and even thousands of households in the border army. Officials, can you recommend someone who is reliable and useful? There must be a few among the disciples of each family, right?"
Guo Xun said this sincerely, and simply asked Qiu Luan: "Master Qiu! Duke Tingwei is seriously ill, and your father is also seriously ill. In the future, the Marquis of Xianning will definitely be yours! Are you willing to work hard for His Majesty? Have a good practice in the three camps?"
The sixteen-year-old Qiu Luan suddenly said passionately: "I will never lose my grandfather's reputation!"
"Good! Be ambitious!" Guo Xun shouted, "The new honors granted by Duke Tingwei, the family tradition of military ministers is still there. We, the families of world-renowned ministers, really can't have anyone who has the talent, the strength to contribute, and the money to contribute. Really? I, Guo Xun, have left my words here today. Even if we give some money first, these three battalions must help His Majesty train them first! If we don’t contribute now, don’t even think about sending people in to pick peaches in the future!”
