Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 379 Commander Candidates

The next day, early morning.

Early this morning, the civil servants discovered the difference between today and Wang Chaoge. Many military officers who had never seen it before, or who hadn't come to court for a long time, all arrived!
Compared with the desolate scene of two or three big cats and kittens in the past, today's military attache is very concerned about the hustle and bustle, loud voices everywhere, and the big and three thick arms of men who can run horses. The noise even overwhelmed the civil servants, who used to be the main force of the sound.

Many civil servants frowned as they watched the bustling scene at the military officer's place, secretly cursing the vulgar military man, but they didn't dare to step forward and scold him like before.

All this is because the military attache doesn't play with them now, the two sides have their own opinions, you come to pretend to be aggressive, believe it or not?
You will not be merciless when you are beaten, and you will be charged with a civil servant's intention to involve military power and military conspiracy.

Now I can't stand the reason, let's fight, they are not the predecessors of the former Tang Dynasty who can fight on horseback and rule the country on horseback, they are just weak scholars, so even if they slander in their hearts, they can only slander them secretly, and dare not speak out.

Therefore, in order to fight for sovereignty, the civil servants who dared not do anything increased their volume one after another, intending to overwhelm the military officer in their voices.

The military officer's side also immediately noticed the small thoughts of these literati, and they all laughed disdainfully, and began to increase their volume.

When the civil servant saw it, he also increased his volume.

In this way, in the end, the two parties wished to greet each other with a roar.

"Ah! Good morning Master Zhang!!!"

"Oh! So it's Master Li!!! You're good too!!"

"Damn! I just got a nice horse the other day! Guess what?!!!"

"What's the matter!!!"

"That horse is actually pregnant! It's a mare! Buy one get one free! Hahahaha!!!"

When Zhu Youjian came to the Taiji Hall to go to court, before entering the hall, he could hear the noise in the court hall from a long distance, and he couldn't help turning his head and asking Wang Chengen beside him: "Wang Banban, what happened inside?" , are they arguing?"

Wang Chengen shook his head and said: "My lord, I don't know about it, my lord wait a moment, my servant will go and have a look."

"Well, let's go."

Zhu Youjian nodded and let Wang Chengen go.

Not long after Wang Chengen left, he trotted back soon, with a suppressed smile on his face.

Zhu Youjian was puzzled, so he asked, "What's the matter? What happened inside?"

Wang Chengen suppressed a smile and explained: "Puff... Your Majesty, the civil and military ministers seem to be louder than anyone else, puff..."

As he spoke, Wang Chengen couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian showed a strange expression, and said speechlessly: "These guys, why are they so boring? What's the comparison?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhu Youjian waved his hand, and Yijia, who had been parked outside the hall, moved again.

Soon, the civil and military ministers in the Taiji Hall who were still competing with each other heard Wang Chengen's high-pitched announcement: "Your Majesty is here!!!"

As soon as Wang Chengen's voice came out, it was as if the king of the voice world had descended in an instant, suppressing the voices of the two parties, and the two parties immediately stopped their voices and bowed respectfully.

After Zhu Youjian walked through the middle and sat on the dragon chair, all the officials worshiped together.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Ann!"

"Saint Gong! Hundred officials are flat!"

Following Zhu Youjian's signal, Wang Chengen returned the salute, and today's morning court officially began.

……

After the regular routine, the court meeting came to the most important stage of the official performance.

Looking around, Huang Liji sighed, adjusted his official robes, stood out of the queue and clapped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the spring plowing has passed, the food and grass for the Ministry of War have been prepared, and the weapons and equipment for the Ministry of Industry have also been prepared. Please play, start the Liaodong War in half a month, strangle the remnants of Houjin, and completely cut off the serious troubles of my dynasty for decades!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials showed two completely different expressions, and the military officers who knew the situation all showed excited expressions, all gearing up.

The civil servants who knew about it sighed secretly and said that the way of writing was declining, and they bowed their heads in silence, while most of the civil servants who didn't know about it showed expressions of surprise and disbelief.

As soon as Huang Liji's words fell, Cao Sicheng, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and objected: "Your Majesty! The court has only been stable for less than half a year. Why are you fighting again? Your Majesty, please think twice."

After Cao Sicheng, other civil servants came out one after another and wanted to stand up. Naturally, Zhu Youjian couldn't tolerate their wasting time, so he waved his hand and said: "The dispatch of troops has already been decided, so there is no need to waste time on this matter today. Today we mainly need to discuss The most important thing is to send troops this time, who will lead the troops?"

"His Majesty!"

"Back off!"

Cao Sicheng wanted to persuade him again, but Zhu Youjian rolled his eyes, and after a scolding, he retreated back to the ranks of civil servants in a sensible manner.

Immediately, the court began to discuss fiercely about the selection of the leader. The civil officials still wanted to push the civil officials, but the generals were not willing to do so. Knowing that the current emperor is not the emperor who turned to the civil officials in the past, they all straightened up and argued with the civil officials. strive for reason.

It is really shameless to say that they are always laymen commanding experts, and they want to be marshals if they don't know anything about their ass.
The civil servants still think that military power is not safe in the hands of generals, and intend to continue to give eye drops to the generals in front of Zhu Youjian. The generals are naturally surprised. After all, this is not a joke, but they turned their heads to look at the expressionless face. The calm Zhu Youjian felt relieved after checking in, and used the recent military-government separation as an example.

It is said that from now on, the civil government will govern the government, and the armed forces will govern the army. The military cannot be involved in politics, and the government must not be involved in the army.

Now it was the civil servant's turn to get flustered, he turned his head to look up, and saw that His Majesty's expression turned gloomy.

What else is there to say now? It's clear that His Majesty is pulling sideways now. It's useless for them to say anything, so gradually the civil servants shut up.

The military officer cheered for joy, and soon after there was no foreign enemy, he began to roll in. In order to compete for the position of the coach, he began to pour dirty water on each other, desperately improving his own ability.

In this way, after quarreling for half an hour, Zhu Youjian saw that it was late, so he patted the table and decided that the British Duke Zhang Weixian would be the commander-in-chief, and Bai Polu, Sun Chuanting, and Xiong Tingbi would be the deputy commanders.

Counting the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, only Zhang Weixian is qualified to hold this position.

First of all, he is a highly respected old noble. Among the nobles in the capital, the British government has always been the royal confidant and the boss of the nobles.

Secondly, although his combat ability is not necessarily good, Zhu Youjian has assigned several deputy commanders with good combat ability. With Zhang Weixian's perennial and muddy level, he can adjust the cooperation between the three to a certain extent. Relationships allow them to work together and hold them back.

Thirdly, the court really couldn’t find other suitable candidates. The old ones were not capable, the capable and experienced ones were not high enough, and the capable new generation was too young to be able to handle things, so Zhang Weixian Wei Shuai is currently the best choice.

All the ministers had no objection to this, and all agreed with His Majesty's choice. Then Zhang Weixian and others stepped forward to receive the imperial decree and commander's seal. As for Xiong Tingbi's share, Zhang Weixian handed it over to him after the army entered the Liaodong territory.

So far, today's main purpose has been completed, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace have discussed some other government affairs solutions that have been backlogged, and today's morning court has officially come to an end.

And Zhu Youjian also returned to Qianqing Palace and began to prepare. Next, besides the expedition to Liaodong, he also has another important life event in progress.

His wedding is approaching, the queens and concubines selected for him by Zhang Yan and several empress dowagers have finally graduated successfully after several months of training, and they will get married soon, and the wedding date is set for this month The NO.13 is also a good omen for the expedition army.
