Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

The next day.

early morning.

When Zhu Xuan came to the main hall, he accepted the kneeling of the ministers below and then began to discuss things.

Zhu Xuan was curious as to why the civil servants didn't immediately bring up the matter about the military academy. According to the news brought back by Yan Guan, the matter had already spread, and everyone who should know knew it.

However, the civilian officials are not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry, and he will not take the initiative to propose it. It would be best if the civilian officials do not object. He can do whatever he wants and directly implement the military academy.

The court meeting soon came to an end. Zhu Xuan glanced at everyone and said: "Is there anything else that needs to be reported? If not, withdraw from the court!"

"Your Highness, I have one more thing to report."

Just when he was about to leave the court, a minister came out and bowed respectfully in front of Zhu Xuan.

What is supposed to come will eventually come, but it will come a little late. Although it is late, it will come.

For their own benefit, these civil servants could argue with Zhu Xuan and would not leave the military academy alone.

Even though the person hadn't spoken yet, Zhu Xuan could guess that the matter he wanted to mention must be about the military academy, and asked, "What's the matter with Mr. Zhuo?"

He recognized this official, his name was Zhuo Jing, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He thought it was the six ministers, or the bachelors from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy who spoke first, and a minister brought it up first, which gave him an intriguing feeling.

It was also those ministers who were worried about being the first person and being easily remembered by Zhu Xuan, so they asked a minister to speak first.

"I heard that His Highness intends to establish a military academy. Is there any such thing?"

Zhuo Jing said.

Hearing what he had said, the remaining officials from the six ministries, the bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, etc., immediately brightened up, and then they were ready to make a move.

They could hardly restrain their urge to object and were preparing to argue with Zhu Xuan in the court.

The military academy must be opposed to the end.

"That's what happened."

Zhu Xuan had a panoramic view of the expressions of all the officials. The civilian officials were excited and their expressions of opposition were obvious. The generals were also excited, but they must agree.

Get excited about approval.

"What's your problem?"

Zhu Xuan asked calmly.

The tone of this speech made Zhuo Jing feel unconfident and uneasy, and his body trembled slightly, and he said bravely: "Your Highness, I think it is inappropriate! According to what I know, your Highness's military academy can still... The private sector selects students, and those who pass the examination can be admitted. Isn't this... similar to the imperial examination? It is similar to the imperial examination, but it is not the imperial examination. The people who are elected are warriors, which is not good for the country and inconsistent with etiquette."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Jing took a deep breath, bowed again, lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Xuan.

These words were a bit bold, but when the military generals in the court heard this, they immediately couldn't hold back and wanted to retort and ask who was the warrior?

However, Zhu Xuan gave them a look.

There is no need for them to get involved in the refutation.

"Since there is an imperial examination for civil affairs, why can't there be an imperial examination for martial arts?"

Zhu Xuan asked back, and then said: "Selecting military men to serve the country, defend the country, and resist foreign enemies, how is it not good for the country? Is it not good for you scholars?"

It's really unfriendly to literati.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

Studying is the only way to become an official, and it is also the most noble behavior. It has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Nowadays, scholars can be very arrogant.

Scholars who are well-established do not have to pay homage to officials.

However, the emergence of military academies broke the monopoly of scholars on becoming officials. You must know that military generals are also officials.

The sense of superiority of scholars is gone.

In the near future, those warriors will be able to be equal to them. The more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel, as if the status of scholars will be suppressed.

"Your Highness." Before Zhuo Jing could respond, Wang Shuying, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, echoed: "In the Ming Dynasty, one imperial examination was enough. The warriors were arrogant and domineering. They only knew how to fight and kill. They were very rude. If they were promoted, the court would be afraid of them in the future." ...What a mess! If His Highness only allows noble children to go to military academies, that would actually be okay, but selecting from the civilian population is not feasible."

This is their concession, and it is obvious that the military academy must exist.

Let those second- and third-generation dandy nobles go to military academies, and they will forget about it. After all, they are all nobles.

Those civilian warriors can't read a single word, so why are they?

It lowers their status.

"A smoky atmosphere?"

Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "The court is now in a state of chaos. If Academician Wang doesn't want to stay, he can take up his official position and go home. I will definitely not stop him."

"I dare not!"

Wang Shuying immediately knelt down after hearing this.

It was only then that he realized that this word was not very appropriate to use here.

Zhu Xuan continued to retort: ​​"The selection of military officers from the people is a mess. Many of the officials present are also from the people. They are ordinary people who have worked hard to take the imperial examination and stand here. Isn't it also a mess? Scholar Wang is not wrong."

Wang Shuying continued to kneel, and he didn't know how to reply to this sentence.

"Your Highness, how can they be compared?"

Jin Zhong stepped forward and said: "Officials from poor backgrounds are all scholars, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and are completely different from martial artists."

Zhu Xuan laughed again and asked, "Are you so sure that the people I selected from the military academy don't know how to read and learn etiquette?"

In the military academy, in addition to military education, there are also cultural classes. He must learn everything he should learn.

It is absolutely impossible to be a general without education.

Zhu Xuan said again: "Can you guarantee that my generals in the military academy will do nothing but fight and kill?"

"minister……"

Jin Zhong was covered in cold sweat and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

The eyes of many ministers fell on Kong Gongjian at this time.

As Zhu Xuan's teacher and the future emperor's teacher, Kong Gongjian felt that he had a heavy responsibility and it was necessary to bring order to the chaos. He said solemnly: "I sincerely ask your highness to take back the order. The military academy is really inappropriate. This is detrimental to your highness's virtue." name."

Zhu Xuan doesn't care about his reputation.

only……

He looked at Kong Gongjian.

That look sent shivers down Kong Gongjian's spine. He felt like he was being stared at by something terrible, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Since Duke Yan Sheng said this, it seems inappropriate."

Zhu Xuan said again.

Hearing this, Kong Gongjian breathed a sigh of relief.

The civil servants of the DPRK were finally relieved, thinking that it would be better for Yan Shenggong to do it!

Even His Highness can be persuaded, and he is worthy of being his teacher.

At this moment, Kong Gongjian felt that he was very great. In the future, his deeds would definitely be spread throughout the circle of scholars. In the future, there would definitely be many people writing books and stories for him, which would be famous for generations to come.

"Not only will I no longer be a military academy, I am also preparing to remove all generals."

"From then on, in our Ming Dynasty, there were only civilian officials and no generals."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Xuan's voice echoed loudly in the court.

The civil and military officials in the DPRK were stunned for a moment. (End of chapter)
