Jingming

Chapter 111 The fatal thing is always the details
Guo Xun almost shouted out first to attract attention.

The eyes of more than a dozen top leaders in the court looked at him at the same time, and the emperor's eyes finally moved to him.

Guo Xun was filled with fear and excitement as if he was on the battlefield-even though he had never experienced it.

But at this moment, he did have a determination to charge forward.

Therefore, he said with emotion: "The three major battalions must all be elite soldiers! The soldiers and generals of the three major battalions must all be good at fighting and strategizing! The selection of soldiers and generals is the opinion of the important ministers who participated in the national policy meeting of the five armies' governor's office and border towns." The most important thing!"

After he finished speaking, he met the eyes of the cabinet ministers and Jiuqing, and forcibly maintained his tough posture.

Yang Yiqing, say something!
Guo Xun knew that he couldn't speak, so he could only try his best to express himself and the attitude of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the simplest way and language.

And Guo Xun, who invited Yang Yiqing to dinner with Xu Guangzuo last night, is also looking forward to Yang Yiqing, a loyal minister who is about to go to the border, to help him say a few words.

According to the emperor's previous explanation, one of the important ministers of the border town can attend this national policy meeting, but can he come every time?

No!

Therefore, the important ministers of the border towns may only be able to participate in the meeting to determine the long-term policy once every three years, and at most can only participate in the meeting to determine the annual policy once a year.

Now, it depends on whether Yang Yiqing is more inclined to cooperate with the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, or with the Ministry of War.

Yang Yiqing looked at the emperor.

Zhu Houcong also looked at him.

The emperor's eyes were clear and asking for advice, and Yang Yiqing could see the sincerity in it.

He was different from Yang Tinghe. He was at the border, and he had seen the eyes of the soldiers, the generals and officials of the border town, and the eyes of the northern captives.

He even saw the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

Now, the 15-year-old has a different look in his eyes.

That is not the curiosity or expectation of pure teenagers.

The young man's eyes are always so pure.Like or hate, always so strong.

Their world is colorful and gorgeous.Only after experiencing many things, when they looked at the world again, their eyes seemed to be covered with something.

Stupid, without the purity of teenagers, nor the peace and clarity of adults.

What is covered, some are gauze curtains that cause more doubts, and some are masks that look pleasing to the eye.

But now that Yang Yiqing looked over, he didn't know why he had doubts: Is this a mask or pure?

The emperor was looking forward to his insights.

Yang Yiqing was silent for a moment, but said plainly: "I think that the important matters of the Beijing camp are closely related to the border towns. Now that there is a recruitment system, it is not suitable for soldiers in the border towns to be recruited. However, recruiting and selecting them, even if there are soldiers but no generals, it will be difficult. become."

This is just a safe opening statement after being gathered by all kinds of eyes. Yang Yiqing paused and said: "What Wu Dinghou said, I also agree with it. The views of the five houses and the views of the important ministers who participated in the national policy meeting should be taken seriously. This is not a dispute. Power is the most important thing for the family and the country. Both the generals in the capital and the border towns need to be good at fighting and planning. At this time, I think that the frontier towns should be the most important thing!"

Guo Xun was stunned: Then what kind of beautiful words did you say last night?

However, the emperor spoke for the first time after opening this topic: "The frontier town is the most important thing. Resetting the three major battalions cannot leave the frontier defense empty. However, there are many problems in the Beijing camp. If there are no suitable generals, feasible training methods, and reliable Logistical support, when will the problem of the Beijing camp be resolved?"

Yang Yiqing pursed his lips first.

The emperor's speaking style was different from other people's.

There are more words used, some of which are still new, but quite accurate.

He seemed to just moisten his lips, and after thinking about it, he said: "Before I entered Beijing, I have received many letters from old friends. I also know a thing or two about the situation in Beijing and the situation in the king's territories. Your Majesty wants to reset the three In the big camp, the first step is to have a full number of elite soldiers, the second step is to use the generals' orders, and the third step is to order them like arms."

This is a bit brave, how can you say whether Jingying can command like an arm is the third step?

Guo Xun squinted his eyes and stared at him: Sure enough, Wenchen still can't be single-minded!

But Zhu Houcong asked, "I would like to hear the details."

"Although there are many things in the court, if the monarch and ministers are united, there will be no drastic changes. Although your majesty will succeed or not, but now the legal system is clear, the world is settled, and the vassal princes and soldiers will not worry about it for the time being."

Yang Yiqing's words surprised Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong and others who were familiar with him: they spoke very directly.

He did not evade the fact that there are constant disputes in the court, but he also expressed his opinion through the word "monarch and ministers united in one mind": you are actually fighting with each other, but you are fighting without breaking up. The idea of ​​maintaining the stability of the court is Single minded.

But the Beijing camp is defending against its own people. Since the court probably won't undergo drastic changes, it is the feudal lords and localities that must be guarded against.The legal order is clear and the preparations are sufficient, so it is very difficult for the vassal princes to rebel.

"Since that's the case, it's enough to start the army first, change the generals gradually, and slowly form the army." Yang Yiqing continued, "Bianzhen's elite soldiers and generals should not be selected too much because of this. If your majesty is worried, you should worry about the border town first. The matter of the Beijing camp, Calculated in five years or ten years."

Zhu Houcong looked at him quietly.

Starting from the proposal to reset the three major battalions, the strategies put forward by Xia Yan to help the five governments, the strategy put forward by the Ministry of War, and the cabinet's proposals, all actually took care of the emperor's need to prevent "vassal kings from making trouble" and stabilize the throne.

Guo Xun boldly emphasized the right to speak on this matter by the governor's office of the Five Armies and the important ministers of the border towns, and it was nothing more than to have more say in the middle and upper levels of the Beijing camp.

Yang Yiqing was the first to persuade him to focus on border towns, that the throne is not in danger now, and that the capital can be built slowly.

Zhu Houcong asked: "Since there is a shortage of good generals, when will the three battalions become good at fighting?"

Yang Yiqing replied calmly: "There are too many good generals in the border town! If they are not buried, why worry about no generals in the Beijing camp?"

Zhu Houcong narrowed his eyes, and slowly looked at Guo Xun and Wang Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Naturally, it cannot be said that it is their problem. Yang Yiqing is talking about the system problem.

There are actually quite a few generals in the border town, but if they want to get ahead, they have to either follow the path of the Xunchen of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or take the path of the civil servants along the line of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Houcong slapped their hands in surprise: "Okay! Very good! If this national policy meeting can't solve some practical problems, it will not be able to play its due role after all. The son of Xunchen and the general of Bianzhen stared at this capital. There are indeed many people with important tasks in the battalion. Soldiers first, then generals, and then orders. Before becoming an army, Yang Yiqing, can you protect me from any worries?"

The words are the wording of the questioning, at least it seems to be disapproved.

But Yang Yiqing replied: "Before attending this national policy meeting today, I dare not answer Your Majesty. But after today, I am sure to say: Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Hearing the meaning of these words, who can not understand?

This national policy meeting was planned by the emperor, didn't he think it through?
Now that Yang Yiqing said that, many people couldn't help but nodded slowly after thinking about it carefully.

Guo Xun:? ? ?
He couldn't understand the possibility that civil servants would try their best to adjust their posture for the [-] chairs after the establishment of the National Policy Council.

He also didn't understand how much support the emperor would temporarily receive from civil servants and the gentry class after the emperor transferred part of the power of the ceremonial supervisor to the civil servants.

He still doesn't understand how much time the people who sit on these [-] chairs will spend to reconstruct the factions at the center of power under the new rules.

Without the cooperation of important ministers, which vassal king and which powerful traitor can make trouble?

Just looking at the emperor's shrewdness in planning this national policy meeting and many previous actions, how many people would risk their genocide to rebel?

Therefore, the throne is currently stable, and the Beijing camp is not in a hurry.

Because of Yang Yiqing's obvious partiality to the civil servants' words, Yang Tinghe and others even had the idea of ​​persuading the emperor to postpone the re-establishment of the three camps.

But the emperor shook his head: "My worry is not about internal troubles. Internal troubles are nothing to worry about. However, border defense is also a worry. In my hand, I can't just rely on the frontier army as a card. If there are northern soldiers pointing directly at the capital Where can I find another Yu Zhongwu Gong?"

Yes, Yu Qian has pursued his posthumous posthumous Zhongwu, but now the emperor made it clear: I am not afraid of internal rebellion, I am only worried that foreign enemies will trap the capital again.

Yang Yiqing, who will soon be another important minister of the frontier town, is the object of suspicion in these remarks. Is this the emperor's distrust, or a provocative general?
However, Yang Yiqing replied: "Your minister has made the right decision, and there are many good generals in the border town! If all the generals are not buried, why worry about having no generals in the Beijing camp? However, the selection of the generals in the Beijing camp should be done carefully. Marquis Wu Ding also has the important task of making suggestions. , I ask you to take the Xunchen as the commander, and the person recommended by the border town as the general, to form an army for three years, and to be able to fight in five years! In addition, if you practice martial arts and martial arts, then there will be successors, and the capital camp and the border town will be safe!"

Guo Xun had been concentrating on it all the time, and now he was able to hear it slowly.

What Yang Yiqing meant: You honorable ministers, just be high-level officers of the battalions who appear to be higher in power, but actually don't care about military training and practice.But for the middle and lower-level officers who are specifically training troops, let an important border guard like me choose people, regardless of whether they have already gone your way.

Guo Xun looked nervously at the emperor.

It's terrible to be uneducated. He doesn't know how to express his opinions now, but he can't say that the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is going to use those middle- and lower-level officers who walked through their door.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Houcong said: "It seems that there are many generals buried in the border town. What San Nanqing said is reasonable, but the scope of the recruitment of soldiers in the Beijing camp, the selection method of generals, and how to organize martial arts and martial arts in the future , Improvement, Your Excellency will continue to discuss."

It is very simple to abolish and abuse, just squeeze out the water, and the remaining people will be included in the recruiting system for assessment and retention.

The Beijing camp with a total of 15, now because of Yang Yiqing's opinion, the emperor agreed not to be selected from the frontier army, so the scope will be narrowed down to discuss the next part.

As the meeting progressed, the participants gradually felt it.

The emperor is the leader of this conference, and he controls the issues—although in the future, there will be issues involving various ministries that cannot be decided, depending on the principles of the national policy conference.

He also controlled the rhythm of the continuous elimination of differences during the meeting-that is, the sentence: Argue with confidence first, argue boldly, and don't have any objections to matters that have been determined by the holy will.

And there is no doubt that the emperor also grasps the final decision of the national policy meeting, including what the plan is, which cabinet minister will lead it, and how to report the progress and check it later.

As for the supervision during the process of a matter, there are naturally factory guards, inspectors, and officials watching.

The changes in this national policy meeting are not insignificant, but they are surprisingly unobtrusive.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than bringing together the past chief inspector, the cabinet, the six ministries and nine ministers, and the honorable ministers of the five mansions to discuss it.

However, it is always the details that are fatal.

The unresolved chief royal study accompanying bachelor!
Try to keep the cabinet full of six ministers, each responsible for affairs!
The privilege of participating in the national policy conference!
Following the emperor's first visit to the many vacant official positions, this is a tide that will flow the entire court from top to bottom.

The slot is not full yet!What is the concept of missing two cabinet ministers?
Yang Tinghe, who can't block the progress of so many middle-level civil servants, hasn't figured out a safe solution: it's not because the power of the chief minister of the cabinet has been weakened, it's just that the establishment of the Royal Study Room and the National Policy Conference are unpredictable. , the pros and cons are not clear for the time being.

But he can't be too sensitive, because the emperor said that after discussing and finalizing the plan to reset the three major battalions and reform the Huangzhuang Huangdian during the whole day's meeting.

"This national policy meeting will be tried out for three years. I will be eighteen years old in three years. If the national policy meeting and the accompanying bachelor's degree in the imperial study do more harm than good, then we will adjust it. But before that, I hope that you will have a three-year period. , be faithful and work hard!"

Just try it out for three years first.

If so many things hadn't happened before, Yang Tinghe would definitely try to persuade the emperor not to try blindly.

But not now.

Yang Tinghe didn't believe that such a design was just a whim.

The biggest possibility is that after the incident in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, the emperor felt the huge influence of the cabinet, especially his own chief assistant.

Yang Tinghe felt very aggrieved: For this national policy meeting, you are willing to play the card of fundamentally suppressing the chief inspector?
