Chapter 168 Military Academy Project
"The students of this new academy are not the children of Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army?" Li Shimin asked with a cold face.

"Exactly." Yue Shan replied calmly.

"Originally, I wanted to select some outstanding young people from Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army to take me with me and teach them personally, but it seems that it is unnecessary." Li Shimin said looking at Jing Junhong who lowered his head and dared not speak.

Jing Junhong raised his head abruptly, knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I know I was wrong."

"Heh... what's wrong with General Jing, what's wrong with you?" Li Shimin asked pretending to be surprised.

"Chen...Chen...all the faults are my fault, and I beg your Majesty to punish me alone..." Jing Junhong said in horror.

At this moment, Yue Shan interrupted him, and said to Li Shimin in a very calm tone: "This is not a conflict. Wouldn't it be better to choose some people to come out and teach in my academy for a period of time, and then be taught by the sage himself."

"You..." Li Shimin glared at Yue Shan angrily and somewhat dumbfounded.

Yue Shan looked at him calmly.

"Get out. You two get out of here." Li Shimin suddenly pointed at the door and said.

"Your Majesty..." Jing Junhong wanted to say something, but was gently pulled by Yue Shan beside him, and he had no choice but to walk out together.

Who knew that as soon as he reached the door, he heard Li Shimin shout: "Get out, Jing Junhong, you go outside."

Jing Junhong looked at Yue Shan full of remorse and panic, not knowing what to do.Yue Shan gave him a reassuring look, turned his head and returned to the main hall.

"What the hell are you doing?" Li Shimin asked angrily.

Yue Shan didn't answer, but looked around at the waiters.Li Shimin immediately evacuated the people, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

Only then did Yue Shan tell Li Shimin about the military academy.

"It's a good thing that you built an academy to teach the law of commanding troops. Why did you sneak around?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, the military academy will offend military nobles and generals. The academic and political system and the imperial examination system will offend most of the aristocratic families. We need the military to deter the locals and prevent chaos. Therefore, we will not be able to see the military academy openly for many years." Yue Shan explained.

Li Shimin immediately understood what he meant, and he could not offend the military and the family at the same time, otherwise they could join hands to change the dynasty.Part of the reason why Emperor Sui Yang lost his country was because he offended two parties at the same time.

"But we can't do nothing. Originally, I wanted to discuss with Jiangmen to build an academy, and recruit their children to teach in a unified way. Slowly add some more talented common people's children..." Yue Shan continued.

The local government is different from the military. The cleaner the foundation of local officials, the better.As long as you have talent, you can be an official, and even if you make mistakes, you have the opportunity to correct them.

The military is different, the error tolerance rate is lower, and every mistake will cause countless deaths.

What I have to admit is that with family background, it is easier to produce excellent generals.Not to mention whether he can be a commander-in-chief, at least he is well-regulated and will not make low-level mistakes.

On the other hand, soldiers are also more convinced of the generals' children, and can avoid many troubles of intrigue.

Therefore, Yue Shan's attitude towards generals is completely different from that of powerful families.

When dealing with powerful families, he planned directly to eliminate them.When dealing with generals, he is rushing to train outstanding children to be even better, and the military academy will definitely give priority to recruiting generals.Of course, civilian children will also be recruited.

In the future, the army will split the door with the children of civilians to compete with each other.Make sure that the army will not become a backwater like the officialdom in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Yue Shan told Li ShiMin about his plans and scruples about the military reform.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, he was very interested in this plan, and couldn't help but said: "Why didn't you tell me such a good plan."

Yue Shan pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I don't know if this plan is feasible, how dare I tell you. Originally, I planned to find generals to cooperate first, to see if I could train qualified generals. When I saw General Jing today, I thought of a There's a better way."

"Yuan Cong's forbidden army is more suitable than generals. Generals have arrogance, and they may not agree with my plan. Even if they agree, they will create many obstacles. Yuancong's forbidden army also belongs to the military, but their background is low and they don't have the arrogance of generals. I can command them. Move them."

"From the outsiders' point of view, Yuan Cong's imperial army has joined me, and I help them train their children. This is a deal. In this way, we can hide it from the generals and will not cause backlash."

In the end, Yue Shan still didn't forget to beat him up: "Just now when I thought of this method, I brought General Jing to see you. Who knew that you reacted so strongly, you scolded General Jing before I could explain clearly."

"Heh... It's still my fault, so should I apologize to you?" Li Shimin sneered.

"Dare not dare, you are a saint of the Tang Dynasty, how could you be wrong." Yue Shan shrank his neck, looking timid and fearful.

"I'm afraid your plan is more than that simple?" Li Shimin glared at him and said.

"Yes, I admit that I do have selfish intentions. Your Majesty should be able to see that I have my own ambitions. One hero and three helpers. If I want to realize my ambitions, I will definitely need helpers. I will find more helpers in the future. I hope Your Majesty I understand." Yue Shan said calmly.

"Hmph, what you said is actually forming a party for personal gain." Li Shimin snorted coldly and said contemptuously, but he didn't say anything more.

It is inevitable to form cliques.

From the day he met Yue Shan, Li Shimin has been observing him, hoping to find out his preferences and goals.But after more than a year of observation, there is nothing.

As a talented and generous emperor, he was not afraid of his ministers' ambitions, but he was afraid of which ministers would make him unable to figure it out.Yue Shan belonged to the kind of person he couldn't figure out, and this was almost becoming his heart disease.

But in the conversation yesterday, he finally saw a corner of Yue Shan's inner world.

It's not that Yue Shan has no pursuit, but the pursuit is too big, so big that no one can understand it.After seeing the world map, Li Shimin thought he had understood it, and his heart disease disappeared.

He was very angry about Yue Shan's gang formation, but it was not unacceptable.He understands very well that the court is the most complicated place, and if he wants to do things, he has to form cliques.This is something that even the emperor cannot stop.

What the emperor can do is to reconcile the contradictions between the factions so that they will not fall into party struggles and damage the country's affairs.

Yue Shan has the pursuit and ambition, and he will inevitably embark on the path of party unity and dissent.What annoyed Li Shimin was that the person he wooed was Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army.

What do you mean by blatantly wooing the Imperial Army?
But after listening to Yue Shan's thoughts about the military academy, that bit of irritation dissipated.Because he knew what Yue Shan said was indeed the best way.

There is no group more suitable for carrying out the military academy program than the Yuancong Forbidden Army.
