back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 27
When the cabinet received Lu Chengqi's order to establish the Royal Military Academy, they raised their vigilance. No matter how high-minded they are, they are still extremely afraid of warriors, especially when the emperor is planning to use them again.And this is the limitation of the vision of the civil official group.

Xu Chongguang met Lu Chengqi cautiously, and asked insincerely, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the establishment of this Royal Military Academy?"

Even if Lu Chengqi didn't say anything about the small calculation in Lu Chengqi's mind, Xu Chongguang would still understand it.But he understands that he understands, but he doesn't want to sit and wait for death in his heart.After a lot of difficulty, the civil servant group slowly climbed to the head of the military officer. If they were knocked down again, what should they do?
Lu Chengqi rolled his eyes at him, and said: "What I want to do, your cabinet only needs to draw up the charter, don't ask too much!"

Xu Chongguang was shocked, knowing that Lu Chengqi had made up his mind.He had a good grasp of the little emperor's temperament, as long as it was something the little emperor made up his mind to, even ten cows would not be able to pull it back.If it was the first emperor, their civil officials would force the first emperor to back down through deadly remonstrance. As time passed, the first emperor would be gradually overshadowed by the increasingly large civil official group.

But this move is not feasible for the little emperor, what the little emperor thinks in his heart is different from them.Even if they all knew what the little emperor had in mind, who would dare to say more under his arbitrariness?This is also the biggest reliance for the little emperor to dare to openly establish a military academy and improve the status of warriors.

Xu Chongguang sighed in his heart, knowing that this matter was irreversible, he had no choice but to deal with it slowly.In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "The old minister will go to draw up the regulations and choose the location of the military academy."

Lu Chengqi said: "The location of this military academy must be located in the suburbs, and the location must be large. If the farmland is requisitioned, the farmers must be compensated according to the market price. If I know that there are forced requisitions of farmland, and the Supervision Department has a report, that is I will investigate the responsibility of your cabinet’s dereliction of duty one by one.”

Xu Chongguang's heart trembled, and he said: "Your Majesty, put it down, the old minister will never infringe upon the interests of the farmers."

Lu Chengqi sighed and said: "Xu Qing, don't be short-sighted. Although there is no big war right now, Mencius said it well, 'Born in sorrow and die in peace', but in my opinion, forgetting the battle will lead to danger. Soldiers What is your bounden duty? Isn’t it to defend the country? As long as the law and military discipline are proper and the army is in our hands, it is the real shield of the country and we can protect the country. In my eyes, as long as it is beneficial to the country, I will do things that are beneficial to the people, no matter what you think. Xu Qing, do you understand my difficulties?"

Xu Chongguang's heart is also full of contradictions. On the one hand, it is the civil official group that he values ​​very much, and on the other hand, it is the safety of the country.Finally, he convinced himself, and after asking the little emperor to retreat, he went to draft the decree.

And at this moment, from time to time, officers in military uniforms came to Beijing to report to the Ministry of War.For a while, the post stations in Chang'an City were overcrowded.These officers were all discussing why the little emperor summoned them to Beijing with an imperial decree.

Two days later, a servant in the palace came to the post station to announce the decree: "The imperial edict said: You generals have defended your home and defended the country. Your achievements can be seen. I am very happy. Now the Royal Military Academy is set up, and you are called to serve as the first batch of students. After the completion, I will inspect it in person at the palace tower. This is a new type of military training. If anyone quits now, please feel free to do so. If you report to the military academy tomorrow, and there are still people who say you want to quit, I will use your military law to do it. Disposal of deserters..."

After receiving the order, all the officers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why.They themselves are old and rough, how can they understand half of these words that are all polite?This is why Lu Chengqi specially asked the cabinet to write as much vernacular as possible considering that they had never read a book.But even so, they were still confused.

As soon as the servants in the palace finished announcing the decree, they rushed up in a swarm, surrounded the little servant and asked, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, what does this decree mean?"

"What does the emperor want us to do?"

"I only heard the word military academy, what is a military academy, little eunuch, can you explain it?"

……

That little servant had never seen such a vulgar warrior before, he was almost squeezed into a meat paste, and managed to break free from them, but the servant's clothes were already wrinkled out of shape.He said in embarrassment: "The emperor means to let you go to training, if you don't go, you will be treated as deserters..."

After saying this, he hurried away with a group of servants, and the rest of the officers were scratching their heads in the station. They really couldn't figure out what the little emperor asked them to do for training.But thinking of the little emperor's big actions in the past month, it seems that they have won the hearts of the people, and there is nothing wrong with thinking about it, so I feel a little relieved.

But they didn't expect that they would be tricked by that little servant, because he didn't pass on the holy will, and those big bastards didn't understand the will, so none of them escaped foolishly.Because it is written in the imperial decree that if you escape, you will be treated as a deserter.Later, they were also glad that they did not escape, otherwise they would really have missed the most important turning point in their lives.

The next day, the group of officers came to the outskirts of the city, but they saw an open space covering an area of ​​several hundred acres, except for a pile of bricks, stones and wood piled hastily, there was nothing else, and only a dragon flag was planted in the center of the open space.

A burly school lieutenant said suspiciously: "Why is there nothing here, did you come to the wrong place?"

A lieutenant general in the Forbidden Army said, "That's right, I remember it was here."

At this time, a group of people came slowly from a distance. The group of officers also had spies who were born as spies. Naturally, they discovered it very early, and everyone looked at that place.

After the pedestrian approached, everyone saw clearly that it turned out to be an old general with a group of inspectors.The officers gave military salutes one after another, and the old general got off his horse majestically, and said, "I don't have time to answer all your questions, so don't ask so many questions. The order from the Holy Majesty is to train you to be qualified Officer. From now on, this old man will be your leader, and you can ask old Fudi to teach you."

The group of officers didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said: "Di Jiaoxi!"

Di Qing said slowly: "You guys made a mistake, you should call 'Di Jiaoxi is good', do it again, haven't you eaten?"

The group of officers immediately said, "Hello, Teacher Di!"

"It's not neat enough, come again!"

"Hello, Teacher Di!"

"Not loud enough, come again!"

"Hello, Teacher Di!"

"Come again!"

……

After doing this seven or eight times, Di Qing nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "It's really good that the emperor taught me this trick to show off. At least these little bastards are a little in awe." The officer had already gritted his teeth, his teeth itching with hatred.

Then Di Qing said: "Very good, I will introduce myself. My name is Di Qing. I used to be a member of the Ministry of War. I was honored by the Holy Majesty, so I was promoted to the second rank of the official, with a salary of the first rank, to be the first in the Royal Military Academy." Teaching. You must be very confused, what is going on with this Royal Military Academy, I tell you the truth, this Royal Military Academy was established to train officers, and the headmaster is the current sage! You have cultivated the blessings of three lifetimes here, Since then, your career in the army has been smooth! But the premise is that you have to survive this cruel training, because the old man will never show mercy!"

As soon as this remark came out, the group of officers were stunned, and it took a long time for them to start talking.This is what Di Qing wanted, and he shouted loudly: "I haven't told you to talk, so shut up!"
