On the morning of the second day, officials from all over the country gathered together.
In ordinary court meetings, there are not many officials who are qualified to attend court meetings.
The regulations of the Ming Dynasty were not entirely based on grade.
Generally speaking, only the bachelors, the six ministers, the six ministers, and the censors of the inspectorate need to go to court.
Although some officials are of high rank and are in Jinling City, they do not need to go to court.
In addition to the above-mentioned people, there are six more people who have been involved in the matter.
But not everyone in the jishizhong needs to go to court. Only when something needs to be raised at the court meeting, the six jishizhong will go to court.
It should be pointed out that although Gui Shizhong was only a seventh-rank official, he was very powerful.
How big is it?
Theoretically, the imperial edict issued by the emperor could be overturned in the matter.
Memorials submitted by hundreds of officials can also be dismissed.
He also has the responsibility of supervising the six ministries and departments and impeaching hundreds of officials.
Humble and powerful.
As a result, many officials would rather work as a seventh-rank official than to be transferred as a third-rank official.
Therefore, there is a saying that "when an official is promoted to seven levels, his power decreases ten thousand times."
It refers to the phenomenon of being unwilling to be promoted in a low-quality job.
Of course, all this was done intentionally by Lao Zhu.
In Lao Zhu's view, future emperors should listen to others' advice.
Wise kings since ancient times have always followed what is good.
Officials are prone to corruption and need more supervision.
Therefore, Lao Zhu gave Kedao Yanguan great authority.
He just didn't expect that the subsequent development was completely beyond his expectation.
Any policy has pros and cons.
What the court has to do is to weigh the pros and cons and choose the policy with more pros than cons to implement.
But science and technology officials don't think so.
Their job is to find fault.
Once you catch a shortcoming, you won’t let it go.
As a result, nothing can be done and no policies can be implemented.
Everything in the world is ruined by words and deeds!
Of course, this is something.
At this time, the Kedao Yanguan was far from having as much authority as in later generations.
After all, Lao Zhu is still alive.
They still have to put their tail between their legs and be human.
The matter discussed today is of no small importance, and all the six subjects came to court.
It's not just them.
Last night, Zhu Yunzhen specially asked the eunuchs in the palace to send a message, ordering all the military officers and nobles in Yingtian Mansion, as well as the palm seal officers of various yamen, to come to court today.
Therefore, today's court meeting has several times more people than before.
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others were walking among the crowd. When they passed the square outside the main hall, they found that there were many more guards with swords than usual.
The array was dense and the killing was extremely serious.
Huang Zicheng's heart tightened and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
But soon, he settled down again.
Perhaps it was just because today's court meeting was of great importance and there were so many officials at the meeting that the royal guards were specifically deployed to maintain order.
If there were any changes, many officials would not be allowed to come to court today to discuss matters.
After everyone entered the palace by roll call, Lao Zhu did not wait for him to come to court.
"Grandpa Huang is not feeling well. He has sent an order to Zhu Gu to preside over today's court meeting."
Zhu Yunxuan, dressed in gorgeous clothes, appeared on the side of the dragon chair.
A new chair was set up there and he sat down.
As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were extremely surprised and looked at each other.
Why did His Majesty the Emperor not participate in such a big matter as setting up the Advisory Office?
Or have things changed again?
"My lords, if you have any questions, you can tell them now."
"If nothing happens, let's discuss it..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw someone standing up below.
"Zheng Guogong Chang Mao has a plan to report!"
Zhu Yunzhen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Chang Mao is the son of Chang Yuchun. After becoming a hero, he is also a general who leads the army. He also has high prestige in the army.
Speaking of which, Chang Mao is still Zhu Yunzhen's uncle.
His sister is Zhu Biao's wife Chang.
However, Chang had already passed away.
And Zhu Yunzhen was not born in the Wei family, so he was still separated by a layer.
Only King Wu Zhu Yunxi was his nephew.
Chang Maosu came from Xu Shi, a hero, and was a relative of the emperor. He was arrogant and arrogant.
Normally, Chang Mao would not have to come to court.
Although he is Zheng Guogong and has a high rank, he is a general who commands the army and is not among the ministers who need to go to court every day.
It's just that Zhu Yunzhen sent someone to send a message last night, and he just came today.
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Yunzhen asked.
"Since the establishment of Jinling Military Academy, it has neither selected soldiers from the army nor trained them in military formations. There is no armor to protect the body, and it does not use swords, guns, bows and arrows."
"The military training methods used are unconventional and unheard of."
"The soldiers we trained were in a state of decay. They were a waste of the imperial court's military pay, wasted military equipment, and ruined the reputation of His Highness the Grand Sun."
"I would also like to ask Your Highness Taisun to immediately order the suspension of recruitment training at the Jinling Military Academy, and behead the leader Zheng He in public. Redefine the training outline, reorganize the armaments, and train the soldiers needed by the imperial court."
Boom!
Chang Mao's voice was extremely loud, like thunder, falling into the ears of everyone present.
In an instant, many people's expressions changed slightly.
Who doesn’t know that Jinling Military Academy is run by His Highness Taisun himself?
And he personally served as the mountain chief.
Zheng He was also personally conquered by His Highness Taisun, and was his direct henchman.
Chang Mao said that he would stop the military academy and kill Zheng He. He was undoubtedly targeting His Highness Taisun.
The quiet hall suddenly became noisy.
Many people were whispering.
Today I came here to set up an advisory office.
But unexpectedly, before the matter of the Counselor's Office was discussed, the matter of the Military Academy was discussed first.
A smile slowly appeared at the corner of Qitai's mouth.
It was he who secretly promoted this matter.
Taking advantage of his status as minister of the Ministry of War, he proposed to Chang Mao that Zhu Yunxuan should open a military academy.
Chang Mao heard that the imperial court had opened a military academy to train new troops, so he ran over to observe.
Zheng He happened to be training there, and the sight of him made him furious.
What an army!
Not only was there no armor, there were no bows and arrows.
Decent?
Can this go to the battlefield and fight?
Is this the new army trained by His Highness Taisun?
And you spent so much money and gave out so much money?
Chang Mao was furious.
Later, he clashed with the students at the military academy and fought.
The students did not dare to use flintlock guns. With both sides using their bare hands, Chang Mao, who was born in a military general's family, naturally had the advantage and was unstoppable.
It wasn't until Zheng He took action that he was restrained.
But Chang Mao was not convinced and still believed that the New Army was garbage.
In addition, he was beaten up by Zheng He, which made him even more furious.
He is just a eunuch, not as good as a pig or a dog.
I am the Queen of Kaiping. With such a noble status, he dares to hit me?
If you don't kill him, where will your face be?
In addition, Chang Mao also had a small calculation in his mind.
Of course he had heard about the establishment of an advisory office in the DPRK.
In his opinion, a place like the Counselor's Office cannot be entirely controlled by civil servants.
Military generals must also occupy a certain quota.
Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful people in the court were not civil servants but military generals.
They followed Lao Zhu to conquer the country, went through life and death, made great military exploits, had high prestige in the army, and naturally had great power.
In contrast, the power of the civil servants was not comparable to that of the late Ming Dynasty, and they were still gathering strength.
In Chang Mao's view, the Jinling Military Academy was just a fool's errand.
This is a handle.
No matter what happens, I am the one who is right.
If you don't stand up and speak out righteously, how long will it take?
If His Highness the Grand Sun can be forced to suspend the recruitment and training of the military academy, then he can take advantage of the situation and demand that the military officers and nobles be allowed to enter the Councilor's Office.
one stone two bird.
And his actions were exactly what Qi Tai was happy to see.
Use Chang Mao to explore the way for yourself and see how Zhu Yunzhen will deal with it.
After experiencing the power of this child, he did not dare to act rashly.
Push Chang Mao out and explore the depth, so that he can act according to the opportunity.
There were four discussions in the court hall.
"quiet!"
The eunuch in charge of rituals shouted loudly.
The noisy court slowly became quiet.
Above, Zhu Yunzhen's eyes slowly swept across the officials in the palace and landed on Chang Mao.
"Mr. Zheng Guo, I heard that you went to Jinling Military Academy, caused trouble, fought with the students, and disrupted the order of the school. Is this a problem?"
His voice was far less loud than Chang Mao's and was very childish.
But for some reason, Chang Mao felt suddenly uneasy when he heard this.
"Your Highness Taisun, if the subordinates had not entered the Jinling Military Academy, how would they have known that they were doing such nonsense?"
"The official couldn't stand it anymore, so he taught me a lesson."
"I didn't expect that Zheng He would actually fight against a lower official."
"The lower official is Zheng Guogong, whom His Majesty personally conferred upon the Queen of Kaiping."
"Zheng He is just a eunuch, and committing the following crime is already a serious crime."
"I don't have any personal grudges when I'm a lowly official. But what a big deal it is to train soldiers for the imperial court? How can you do whatever you want, not follow the rules, and don't use swords, guns, bows and arrows? Is there such a soldier in the world?"
"Please also ask Your Highness the Grand Sun to uphold justice. If this matter is not dealt with strictly, how can the Ming Dynasty manage the army?"
"Once the armaments are destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
His impassioned words were heard by everyone in the court, and they all felt that he was really strong and strong.
Facing His Highness Taisun, he was not afraid at all and only focused on state affairs.
Only Lan Yu, who was next to him, frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
But these days, he has been staying behind closed doors and doesn't know much about what's happening outside.
Above, Zhu Yunzhen suddenly turned his face and sneered: "Zheng Guogong worked hard for the country with good intentions, which is really admirable."
"However, Duke Zheng is also the leader of the army. He should know that military laws are strict and military orders are as high as mountains."
"It's a serious crime for you to break into the military academy without permission."
"It's even more inappropriate to beat up students."
"Zheng He restrained you, but you bit back."
"If you make mistakes again and again without repentance, if you are not severely punished, where will the military law of the Ming Dynasty be?"
"Gu Nian, since you are the son of King Kaiping and a hero, you should be given a lighter sentence."
"Come here, pull Duke Zheng down and hit twenty big boards again."
…
Sorry, Kavin, it's late!
