Xiao Jing is a eunuch, and he is naturally thinking about what His Majesty thinks and what His Majesty is anxious about.

What Fang Jifan said just now is indeed a bit inappropriate.

It’s time to celebrate the New Year, is it appropriate to say these words?

After Xiao Jing said that, he found that a murderous look suddenly came towards him.

He was stunned and followed this gaze and found that it was Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren glanced at him coldly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes... made Xiao Jing feel a little chill.

Xiao Jing felt a little angry. It would be fine if we didn’t dare to provoke Fang Jifan, but we would be afraid of you, a little minister. Who would you dare to show off your skills to us?

Although he thought so, the silent Wang Shouren did not move at all, like a javelin, standing upright, but it still made Xiao Jing feel cold.

Of course, Fang Jifan chose to forgive Xiao Jing for his rudeness.

After all... Fang Jifan was a peaceful person. He was different from Wang Shouren, who was impulsive. He loved peace and was kind to others. Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Eunuch Xiao said this. Now, the Ming Dynasty went to the West and discovered India. In the north of India, there were remnants of the Mongols occupying the territory and forming a great empire. The vast territory and large population were no problem. Going further north, it was a world-class and even isolated from the east and west, and was ferocious to the Franji people. In addition, there were also Franji countries. Today, it was no longer the same as before. Once upon a time, after the world was unified, I could live a closed life, but now, countless geography has been discovered. Can I still keep my door closed and enjoy myself?"

Emperor Hongzhi thoughtful and nodded: "Xiao Jing, don't talk nonsense in the future."

Xiao Jing suddenly felt like he was stabbed in the back of his back by His Majesty.

Your Majesty, I am talking to you everywhere.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, I deserve to die. I am not a thing, I am a stern."

He raised his hand and slapped himself neatly. It hurt a little and he immediately grinned.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "You keep talking."

"The emperor's grandson must not only be able to be literary but also martial. Even if the emperor does not need to be in charge of the army in person, he must also know what the war is and how to defeat the enemy. Only in this way can those soldiers who fight bloodyly admire and establish prestige. Those who are the emperor should plan and be well aware of the affairs of the army. Only by having his own unique insights into the war of the army can they be sympathetic to the soldiers and promote useful talents and use them. Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of Han has never personally fought, but since he was young, he has led the guards in the forbidden garden and learned the method of riding and shooting. He is familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of every general. Therefore, when he was in power, he was like a cloud of generals, and the Han army was in the forbidden garden, and he was always in the forbidden garden."

"So, the emperor should learn to arch and horse. If he is not even proficient in arch and horse, how can he know the hard work of the soldiers? If he doesn't know how to draw the bow and draw arrows, how can he know that the crossbows spent in the battle process and how much daily feasible the army can do, it is even more impossible to promote the soldiers."

"Further, people who are the king must have enough patience and self-discipline beyond ordinary people. Your Majesty..." Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "My diligent emperor has been since Emperor Taizu Gao, and Emperor Wen. After that, he will be Your Majesty. Your Majesty's reputation for diligence is well known in the world. My ministers admire him very much. This is because His Majesty's self-discipline is far beyond others. How can he achieve such self-discipline?"

"In the army, discipline is used to curb the desires of the soldiers and consume a lot of physical strength to sharpen the morale of the soldiers. At any time, no matter what the person entering the camp is in a state of mind and temperament, after entering the camp, he will be standing like a pine tree, sitting like a bell, walking like a wind, and lying like a bow. The emperor and grandson do not lack wisdom or pity for the people. What they lack is precisely the restraint of their own desires, so... the son ordered Wang Shouren to sharpen his will."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, but he still felt a little sorry for his grandson.

So... he bit his lip with his hands behind his back, and said nothing.

Fang Jifan looked around and said, "Your Majesty, can you speak with a step?"

"What?" Emperor Hongzhi found it incredible. Take a step? What do you want to say?

But Emperor Hongzhi still nodded.

This made people feel a little uncomfortable. Liu Jian and others... They thought Fang Jifan must have had some idea.

But Xiao Jing was even more nervous and wouldn't say anything bad about us.

Zhu Houzhao felt scared...

Emperor Hongzhi walked forward dozens of steps, while Fang Jifan quickly followed, and the rest had to stand there.

Fang Jifan coughed and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty... I have always had an idea."

"You said." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Zaimo on the school ground from afar. This boy blushed and everyone else had rested. But he was punished and had to continue riding on the horse and fire his bow. I think... it must be very uncomfortable.

That guy Wang Shouren... is too strict. Don't he know that this is the emperor's grandson? If something goes wrong, I will be the first to find him!

Fang Jifan said: "Have you noticed that the situation today has changed drastically. The Ming Dynasty was threatened by the Franji people, and the Ottoman Empire isolated the land route of the Ming Dynasty. Not only that, in the Western Regions, there were countless nomadic barbarians who were eyeing each other, especially when the Tatars were completely weak, they were eyeing the desert. Not only that, although the Western countries were dependent, there would be no war in the future... - The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the two capitals and thirteen provinces and for the stability of China, had to conscript the four seas and garrison the Ming Dynasty at the end of the world."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Yes, I thought about it. Since I went to the West, I suddenly realized that my eyes became bigger. The more I saw the deeper I saw, the more I felt worried."

"But your Majesty has ever thought that countless soldiers are far beyond the reach of the Ming Dynasty. A large number of troops have begun to become enterprising with the new policies of the court. Once these soldiers go on an expedition, they will be far away from the court's sight. The court has to give them more power. So... how should these soldiers be restrained?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Fang Jifan pointed out the most critical issue.

Any dynasty has its limits, because once it exceeds this limit, the army will be difficult to control. In order to allow soldiers from far-reaching border towns to guard the border towns, the distance is long, and they must be given arbitrary power to avoid an emergency. When the emergency report comes to the capital, the daylily will be cold.
