Chapter 235 Confrontation in the Court

"Please discuss reforming the military system!"

Ru Wei's last sentence was like a signal flare that initiated an action, officially igniting the struggle between the traitor and the Qingliu.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and uproared.

Zhu Yunwen, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, was also frightened. He always knew that Xiao Fan had the idea of ​​reforming the military system. Although Zhu Yunwen supported it in his heart, he had no choice but to have too many stubborn and conservative ministers in the court. It can be foreseen that there would be a lot of opposition. As the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen suffered from ascending the throne for less than a year and his foundation in the court was unstable. At this time, he could only act in a stance to maintain his apparent impartiality and inconvenient agreement with Xiao Fan's opinion.

However, Zhu Yunwen was also looking forward to how Xiao Fan would resolve the opposition of the court officials and smoothly implement his reform proposals.

With Xiao Fan's unpredictable style of conduct, no one knows how he will start this seemingly difficult and obstacle-ridden reform.

Zhu Yunwen did not expect that Xiao Fan would start the military system reform with such an opening remark.

What will Xiao Fan do next? Qingliu will not sit idly by and watch the situation develop like this. Anyone with a little *** will understand that the consequences of military system reform will inevitably change the tradition of valuing culture over military affairs, and the status of military generals will be greatly improved. On the contrary, the status of civil officials will gradually decline.

A piece of power cake is so big. If the military generals eat more, the civil servants will definitely be able to eat less. The theory of reforming the military system is equivalent to an open declaration of war on the interests of the civil servant group. All the ministers in the court were from imperial examination literati who studied hard. How could they have finally accumulated many years of benefits and were stolen by those vulgar military generals?

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was extremely complicated. He was looking forward to Xiao Fan's next move, and he also had doubts about the reform of the military system. He had grown up, knew how to think, and knew how to look at state affairs and government affairs objectively and fairly. From the perspective of a young emperor who had little experience, he was not very confident in Xiao Fan's reform commission.

However, he also understood that the court is now suffering from internal and external troubles. If he wants to eliminate these troubles and realize his ambition to build a prosperous era of literature, reforming the military system is necessary.

Looking up at the ministers quickly, Zhu Yunwen saw everyone's shocked or shocked reaction, and coughed twice, "Shangshu Ru, did you just say that you reform the military system? Is there any specific statement?"

The noisy ministers in the court immediately calmed down, staring at Ru Yi in the middle of the Golden Palace.

Ru Wei's expression remained unchanged, her chubby old face was a simple smile, holding the ivory board and laughed: "The chaos in the Ming army system is not a day or overnight. Since there has been no war in recent years, the soldiers in the army are lazy and lazy. The soldiers who have experience in combat formations are old or dead. Their descendants are all young people who have not experienced war. These military descendants are actually just some farmers who have picked up swords and swords. They have no morale, no skills, no experience. What is most worrying is that none of them can lead them and train them. Can such an army expect them to fight a good fight? Therefore, if you want to strengthen the country, you must strengthen the army. If you want to strengthen the army, you must strengthen the army. If you want to strengthen the army, you must choose generals... The old minister's note is: develop military equipment, build firearms, start military training, and build military academy!"

The specific statements on reforming the military system were revealed, and the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar again.

The treacherous parties are prepared. Are Xiao Fan planning to start the launch?

As soon as Ru Wei finished speaking, an angry voice came from the court officials.

"All nonsense!"

The ministers looked in shock, but saw Huang Guan, the censor standing behind the squad, walking out of the squad with an ivory plate in his hand. He had a gloomy face and stared at Ru Yi with a blue expression, and his eyes were about to spit out of fire.

Seeing Huang Guan stand up and object, Ru Wei was not surprised at all, and still laughed and said, "Does Lord Huang have great opinions?"

Huang Guan snorted coldly: "Shangshu Ru, do you want to be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty forever?"

Ru Wei said in surprise: "Why did Lord Huang say this?"

"The late emperor used martial arts to determine the country. After several wars, he finally used his throne to determine the country of Ming Dynasty. He created the prosperous era of Ming Dynasty. The beginning of the prosperous era. It is necessary to suppress killing, promote civil governance, and allow the people to recuperate. These words are often mentioned to the ministers when the late emperor was alive. Now that the heroic spirit of the late emperor is not far away, you actually advocate overthrowing the last emperor's legacy and talking about reforming the military system. Although the emperor once had a dynasty, you, Shangshu, is an old minister of Hongwu, and it is too fast to change your appearance? Are you worthy of the kindness of the late emperor? Is it worthy of the black veil on your head? If you raise troops and deploy martial arts for no reason, aren't you afraid that the people in the world will poke your backbone behind you?"

After Huang Guan finished speaking, many ministers among the court officials stood up and bowed, "I have discussed what Lord Huang sees. Reforming the military system is contrary to the ancestor's system and a great rebellion. Your Majesty must not agree!"

The ministers were noisy, and there was a buzzing discussion in the court.

Ru Ying laughed and said, "My colleagues misunderstood that I have reformed the military system and aimed at strengthening the army and strengthening the country, not raising troops and deploying military forces. Besides, I did this not to overturn the teachings of the late emperor. You are all old ministers of Hongwu. Have you ever remembered the "Instructions on the Emperor's Ming Ancestor" issued by the late emperor? The "Advice of the Emperor's Ming Ancestor" in "Instructions on the Emperor's Ming Ancestor" says: "All the barbarians in all directions are limited to mountains and seas, and are remote in a corner. The land is not enough to provide, and the people are not enough to command. If they do not think about it and disturb my borders, it will be ominous.

It is not a problem for China, but it is also a shame for me to launch a war and inflict lightly. I am afraid that the descendants of future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for temporary military achievements, and raise troops for no reason, and kill and hurt lives. Remember not to do so. However, Hu Rong is close to China's borders and has been in wars for many years. We must choose generals to train troops and guard them when we are guarding them.’... Dear colleagues, the "Instructions for the Emperor Ming Zu" clearly stated that in order to prevent Hu Rong, we must choose generals to train troops and guard them when we are guarding them. I proposed to reform the military system in order to select generals for the country. I dare to ask you, what are the mistakes of me?"

Huang Guan and several Qingliu ministers behind him were speechless.

Today, the treacherous party was really well prepared. Even the "The Instructions of the Emperor Ming Dynasty" was brought out. Could it be that the reform of the military system was really allowed to be implemented?

Huang Guan gritted his teeth and said, "Since ancient times, fighting the country with martial arts and defending the country with literature is the principle that has not changed throughout the ages. The late emperor said that the selection of generals and training troops was to prevent the northern Tartars. However, the reform of the military system was the legacy of overthrowing the late emperor. The two were completely different. You are confusing the audio-visual of the emperor and the ministers! Since Ru Shangshu has brought out the "The Instructions of the Emperor Mingzu", the lower officials still remember a sentence from the "The Instructions of the Emperor Mingzu" here..."

Ru Wei said in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Huang Guan stared at Ru Wei and said word by word: "The late emperor said in the preface to the "Instructions of the Emperor Ming Ancestor": 'All my descendants, I have no cleverness to do anything, and I have made a way to mess with me, and I cannot change a word'! Ru Shangshu, do you know if you remember this sentence?"

The smile on Ru Wei's face gradually solidified, and her chubby face sweated slightly.

Both sides tried to overwhelm the other with the ancestral system, but now it seems that the ancestral system cannot convince either side at all. Ru Rong and Huang Guan have their own reasons, and the court's tit-for-tat confrontation was in a deadlock between a few words.

Zhu Yunwen looked around and found it quite novel. Seeing that both of them kept silent, he couldn't help but urged: "You continue to say, is this reform of the military system feasible or not?"

"feasible!"

"Not feasible!"

The two answered urgently at the same time, then they were stunned and glared at each other.

Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes, then cleared his throat and said, "The reform of the military system is related to our Ming Dynasty. We should not make a decision rashly. All the beloved ministers may carefully study for a few days. In the morning court of Fengtian Palace in three days, you will express your opinions and speak freely. If you have any inappropriate words, I will not be punished."

The ministers hurriedly bowed and said in unison: "Abide by the order."

Everyone understood the meaning of Zhu Yunwen's words. The two sides competed. As the referee, Zhu Yunwen called a timeout. Everyone went back to rest and started the second game three days later.

Ru Wei and Huang Guan glared at each other, then snorted fiercely, brushed their sleeves, and stood back to the court.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the expressions of everyone, and a smile flashed in his eyes. While everyone was still thinking about how to deal with the reform debate in three days, Zhu Yunwen threw out something lightly.

"The news of the King of Yan in Beiping has arrived in the capital. The King of Yan praised Xiao Fan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and said that Xiao Fan fought against the Tartars outside Shanhaiguan, went deep into the grasslands, made a big fuss in the Tartar camp, killed ten thousand men and thousands of men, and led the main army of the Tartars into the ambush formation of the King of Yan, and made the first contribution to this battle. I feel relieved that Xiao Aiqing of the Ming Dynasty

Why worry about the national affairs not going on? As soon as I was newly established, I should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Therefore, I ordered: Chengyi Bo, Xiao Fan, commander of the Jinyiwei, to go out to the northern border, make contributions to the fight against the Tartars, and to win glory for the court. He specially promoted Jinyi Bo Xiao Fan to the first-class title. Chengyi Bo was awarded a certificate and issued a certificate, and he inherited the title of Chengyi Bo, and was unchanged. The former commander of the Jinyiwei remained unchanged and ordered the order to inform the world. All envoys heard of it."

"Ah? This..." Zhong Qingliu was stunned.

Ru Wei, the Minister of War, hurriedly shouted: "My emperor is wise!"

The members of the treacherous party also hurriedly agreed, and everyone looked happy. Their interests with Xiao Fan were all prosperous and Xiao Fan was promoted, which shows that the emperor had a strong favor for him and the treacherous party was very happy to see him.

The Qingliu ministers stood in the court with a dark face, unable to speak for a long time, and wanted to object, but could not think of a reason for the time being. The contributions made by others were clearly placed there, and the three thousand troops went deep into the grassland to make such great contributions. This is well-founded. What reason do they use to object?

Just when the Qingliu ministers were full of anger and could not vent their anger, Zhu Yunwen threw another sentence.

"Reforming the military system is of great importance and cannot be decided in one sentence. I have decided to hold a grand dynasty meeting in Fengtian Hall three days later. Those who have meritorious officials and marquises in Beijing must enter the dynasty to participate in the dynasty discussions, and there must be no mistakes. Well, today's dynasty meeting will be like this, and you will retire from the dynasty."

After saying that, Zhu Yunwen didn't wait for the officials to salute, he swayed his robe sleeves, flashed his figure, and went to change his clothes to the Huagai Palace behind Fengtian Palace.

Huang Guan and others stood in the hall with their faces becoming increasingly ugly.

Those who are above the Marquis participated in the court discussion... This means that Xiao Fan, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was not qualified to attend the court, would definitely participate in the morning court in three days with his newly promoted marquis. He participated in the court discussion of reforming the military system. The weight of the treacherous party in the court became a little heavier, and this time the leader of the treacherous party took action...

Huang Guan sighed to the sky in grief and anger.

The emperor...he blew the black whistle!

The inner hall of Xiao Mansion.

After the treacherous parties dispersed, they gathered together and bowed to Xiao Fan, who had just been promoted to Chengyi Hou.

Xiao Fan looked happy and still gave him a humble gift. After a lot of trouble, everyone sat down and started talking about the serious matters.

"That means that today's morning court has been stalemate until the retreat? You didn't fight for any victory or defeat?" Xiao Fan asked slowly, holding the teacup.

Ru Wei, Qi Tai, Xie Jin and others all showed shame.

"I was ashamed. I thought I could use the "Emperor Ming Ancestors" of the late emperor to overwhelm them with the control of the ancestors, but Huang Guan also came up with a sentence from the teachings of the ancestors and restrained me..." Ru Wei said with shame.

Xiao Fan smiled: "Mr. Ru, don't blame yourself. Reform and reform have always been a major event in the court. It is impossible for you to decide it in just a few words. It is normal for the first time to have no result."

Ru Wei sighed, "I didn't fight for the results today. The morning court three days later may be a mess, and the noise will never end. I don't know when I will overwhelm those decadent and stubborn Qingliu..."

Xiao Fan smiled relaxedly and said, "There is no result yet, which means we still have a chance. Before the victory or defeat is revealed, you must not lose your confidence. There is always a solution..."

"Does Lord Xiao have a good idea?" Everyone stared at Xiao Fan with anticipation.

Xiao Fan *** said with a nose: "I'm very busy now, and I can't think of a good idea for the time being..."

Ru Wei said in surprise: "What are you busy with?"

"I'm busy thinking about how to make the emperor sleep with Huang Guan's sister..."

Everyone was stunned, and then gritted their teeth and praised: "Good! It's time to put his sister to bed!"

The Wulang Mantra naturally has its magical use. If you use it well, it will be invincible.

Facts prove that Zhu Yunwen is too innocent. He has only the theoretical knowledge of the Five Waves of Truth, but he has never had the opportunity to put it into effect, because he has never found a chance. He has no idea when Huang Ying will go out. *** Bai Yu’s romantic idea is still just an idea.

Xiao Fan was angry. This guy was cowardly when he was an emperor and was cowardly picking up girls. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and you can't even grasp when an ordinary woman goes out. It's better to find a piece of tofu to kill him.

While being angry that he was not fighting, Xiao Fan could only do his best to help him. A fool must be accompanied by a smart person. There is nothing he can do about it.

So at the commander of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei spy lurking in Huangguan's mansion, began to do his job without doing his job, and hid under the windowsill of Miss Huang's boudoir every day and listened to the wall.

Picking up girls is like fighting, and it also requires intelligence. Xiao Fan from his previous life deeply understands the importance of intelligence work.

Listening to the secret spies at the base of the wall quickly heard important information.

This afternoon, the eldest lady of the Huang family was going out and went to the Banshan Temple in the east of the city to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The Jinyiwei activated the Yige who conveyed urgent and important information. After half an incense stick, this information flew to the Jinyiwei Fushiyamen outside Chengtian Gate.

After receiving the post pigeon, the lieutenant quickly reported to Xiao Fan, and Xiao Fan hurriedly ordered someone to enter the palace to inform Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard the news. He walked out of the palace in casual clothes and broke into the Jinyiwei Fushiya Yamen.

"Shidun Xiao... I won't say anything, my benefactor!" Zhu Yunwen burst into tears of gratitude, grabbed Xiao Fan's hand and shook it again and again, with crystal tears flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty... I won't say anything. Go to the door of Huang Mansion. I used the Jinyiwei to inquire about the information you found out. Such a nonsense thing can never be done." Xiao Fan's eyes also flashed with crystal tears, and he begged with a face full of begging.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned and then slapped his forehead suddenly: "Entertainment Uniform Guard! Why didn't I think of this trick? I would have saved things if I had known it, wouldn't it be easier? Is it still Xiao Shidu smart..."

Xiao Fan sighed heavily. This guy was developing in a direction of a foolish monarch, which was probably not as good as the glorious deeds of King You of Zhou who played the princes with Fenghuo.

How could this be the best place for the Ming Dynasty to have such an emperor? - Zhu Yunwen in history should not be like this, why did he fall into depravity?

It’s all because of that old guy Huang Zicheng who taught him badly!
To be continued...
