Cabinet value room.
Xie Qian told Li Dongyang and Liu Jian what he saw and heard in the school grounds.
The two of them didn’t feel too surprised. After all, they had known about Zhang Zhou’s performance in the army for a long time. When the Ming army, especially the Beijing garrison, became increasingly lax about daily training, Zhang Zhou’s arrival, It can be said to have brought great vitality to the lifeless military world. < /p>
Although Xie Qian didn't want to admit it, he still nodded and said, "Just looking at the effect, the combat power of the army has indeed improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, His Majesty has great trust in him. Even the prince treats him as a division commander. But he doesn't know that he What on earth did you say to the prince that would make him so enthusiastic about military matters?" Liu Jiandao said, "Is the prince a martial artist?"
"Yes." >Xie Qian nodded again.
This made Liu Jian a little worried.
As ordinary ministers, the future prince is still just a child, and they don't care whether the child is thinking about learning or conquering the world.
But the first and assistant ministers are different. Now the emperor suddenly changed from the benevolent and filial king to an emperor who likes to pursue military achievements, which makes him very depressed. If Zhang Zhou is allowed to control This martial spirit is passed on
Li Dongyang asked, "Should we go to the people in Hanyuan to advise and guide the prince?"
"It doesn't mean much." Liu Jiandao, "The prince has been there for many years." The character has been formed in the past, and even if it is interfered with, if it cannot be cultivated from an early age, it will be a drop in the bucket. "
In Chinese culture, it is important to consider one's age at the age of three.
Liu Jian felt that once the prince had been "led astray" by Zhang Zhou, it would not be so easy to bring the prince back to the right path.
Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "We can't ignore it completely. The East Palace lecture class has been slacking off a lot recently. If we can't guide the prince well, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty will go astray in the future."
Thank you. Qian suddenly felt that his painting style had changed a bit. He asked, "Your Majesty is conducting a military exercise at the school today. He seems to be intending to select personnel and send troops to the Loop before the end of March. You two have nothing to say."
"Ma Fu What does the picture say?" Liu Jian asked.
Xie Qian said, "Since Ma Futu transferred the staff department, his work has become a lot mediocre. He almost never asks about the affairs of the Ministry of War." As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he could not interfere with the affairs of the original yamen at all. However, during the Hongzhi period, officials were very particular about "inheritance", which meant that the old would lead the new. A person's sphere of influence will always have a great influence. .
As for the cabinet, they counted on Ma Wensheng's prestige in the Ministry of War to suppress Zhang Zhou's rise.
But after Zhang Zhou gained momentum, Ma Wensheng's control of the Ministry of War was almost completely eliminated.
Li Dongyang sighed "This will probably cause Ming Dynasty to slide into the abyss of militarism. ”
Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang, probably saying, how can we not see what you said? But how to solve the problem? Everyone knows that Zhang Zhou is a big hidden danger and will bring instability to the Ming Dynasty. , but his position is so stable now, what can you do to make him lose the emperor's trust?
In the Yanwu Hall
Cui Yuan was promoted that day, which is equivalent to becoming a relative. After being promoted from the "baby class" to the "professor class", he didn't even want to go home and tell his wife the good news. He just wanted to go and see if he could learn something new by going to the Yanwu Hall. p>
As Ming Dynasty’s Prince Consort, he has never been so confident, as if his life has meaning because of this.
“Congratulations, Prince Consort Cui. "
Back at the Yanwu Hall in the city, many classmates and generals came over to "congratulate" him.
The congratulations were not for him to enter the college seminar class, but to congratulate him for getting After receiving public praise from the emperor, he even suggested that if Cui Yuan can continue to perform so well in the future, he will have the opportunity to enter the Shangting Department. After all, among the martial arts nowadays, only Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui has this honor, and even Old Man Zhang is currently only "I'm just a minister walking up to the listening area."
Cui Yuan asked, "Where can I study?"
A general who came from Jizhou to study said, "Don't worry, Prince Consort Cui, we are all here too." I have just come back, and what I learn every day is very complicated, and there is no customization. What you can learn depends entirely on your personal destiny. And here, you may not necessarily be valued if you study well. ”
“Ah”
Cui Yuan felt very puzzled for a moment.
Yanwutang is so awesome, but he actually does black-box operations, otherwise why would he say he learned well? , and they don't get much attention
"It's like this. Everyone's understanding ability is different, and what they experience is also different. This is what officials often say. If you can use what you understand in actual combat Even if your tactics are wild, as long as your execution ability is strong enough or you are determined enough, you can be unfavorable in the war and become a qualified coach. On the contrary, no matter how well you learn, it is just a matter of talking on paper. When it comes to the battlefield, you will shrink back, or even hesitate to advance when encountering the enemy. At that time, the prestige of Yanwu Hall will be damaged. ”
The people around me are still very polite.
Because in the vocational college class, it is rare to have Cui Yuan who is a relative of the emperor, and he is considered an alternative.
< p>Most of them are generals who actually lead troops. They have not had many opportunities to perform on the battlefield before, but if they encounter enemy attacks, they will still be at the forefront.Cui Yuan. It is like being a transfer student or a connected person in a high school class.
A talented person who can be admired by the emperor and mentored by Zhang Zhou, Wang Qiong and others, and who is a relative of the emperor, will definitely have a bright future. , It is definitely beneficial to curry favor with such a person.
Cui Yuan asked, "But if you don't go to the battlefield in person, who knows how your execution will be and what your performance will be when you encounter the enemy. These are too general. Bar"
What he wants to ask is, how can you judge what you said without being verified on the battlefield?
His words made those generals a little confused.
After all, he is a scholar and likes to get to the bottom of things. Even if those people occasionally say something that makes some sense, they still follow the cat's example and the tiger's gourd. Understand the specific reference standards behind it.
"Consort Cui, if you have something to do, you might as well ask the instructor. The most powerful one here is Cai Guogong, but he doesn't come often. Asking Wang Shilang is the best, but he doesn't come often either. On the other hand, Anbianhou often comes to teach, but most of Anbianhou’s lectures just copy the written content. If you don’t understand, just go back and study on your own after receiving your own teaching materials.”
< p> Only then did Cui Yuan know that there were "teaching materials" at the Yanwu Hall.When he went to the logistics department to get his books back, he found that the content he read was somewhat different from what Wang Qiong had given him before.
In other words, the knowledge points in the textbooks in front of me are still a bit superficial, and they are from the shallower to the deeper.
What Wang Qiong gave him was directly a "lesson plan", which was equivalent to a special version for Mr. Wang.
Of course, not everyone can understand that version. Just like Cui Yuan, even if he has been studying for many years, he can only understand it roughly, and he is often confused about military strategies. Not to mention a bunch of rough guys like Yan Wu Tang who haven't even read for a few days.
After Zhang Zhou participated in the school inspection, he returned to the city. However, before he could go far, he saw Zhang Mao and his men chasing after him on horseback.
Zhang Mao is considered a unique figure when it comes to riding horses in the capital city. Zhang Zhou feels that this old boy is deliberately showing off in front of him.
"Bingkuan, please wait for a moment."
Zhang Mao came forward, dismounted, seemed very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to come over to greet him.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "The British Lord has something to do temporarily, or is it inconvenient to talk about something outside the city?"
You have just returned from the school outside the city. Do you want to avoid the emperor? , I didn’t see you say anything after the emperor left.
Now you are chasing me to talk to me in a public place in the city. You, Old Man Zhang, are very thoughtful.
Zhang Mao had no intention of inviting Zhang Zhou to his residence, or even to have tea there. He said, "Bingkuan, what do you think of Quanzi's performance on the school field today?"
< p>This brings up Zhang Rui.Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded and said, "The results will be mentioned in the memorial. The British father himself is the examiner. You have to ask me, a bystander."
You are the examiner , you don’t know whether your son is doing well or not
Zhang Mao sighed, “It’s better for you to say half a sentence than others can say a hundred words.”
“Haha.” Zhang Zhou said with a smile, “Your Majesty, you have to say a hundred words. For military and political matters, I rely on the Ministry of War, but I don’t have to listen to the Ministry of War for everything. It seems that His Majesty has not asked me about my evaluation of the results of the examination today.If the Duke is asking in his private capacity, then I can say that your son has performed well. ”
Is Zhang Rui really good?
In Zhang Zhou’s opinion, it is very average, and even his father may not be able to compare with it.
But Zhang Rui He is really working hard, but because of his own conditions, Zhang Rui has not been involved in archery and horse racing for many years due to soft foot disease. In addition, the academic education atmosphere in the old Zhang family is not strong. Even though he was smart, he couldn't have as flexible a mind as Cui Yuan.
In this regard, Zhang Zhou felt that a young man like Zhang Lun would be more energetic.
But who made Zhang Rui die early in history, and the person who succeeded Zhang Mao in the British public position was Zhang Lun?
Zhang Mao asked, "What do you think, Bingkuan, if the dog is allowed to lead the troops out of the fortress?" What position should be arranged?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Hey, Mr. British, don't laugh. The sending of troops to Loop now is just His Majesty's idea. It has not been fully implemented and things have not been decided yet. You just think about it. I asked your son to go out with the army."
"Hypothesis, what I mean is for you to make a hypothesis, Bingkuan. "Zhang Mao smiled, with a harmless smile on his face.
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "If you want to lead the army with your current results and rankings, it may be a bit troublesome, but if the three armies go out to fight, To put it bluntly, there are so many positions in the military, so why should someone be the first to take the lead? As for who to choose or not to choose, it’s actually hard for me to get involved with my opinion. You also know that the people His Majesty wants to use this time are basically all Not something I would recommend. ”
He was reminding Zhang Mao.
The emperor wants to use people from the traditional martial arts faction to lead the troops to complete the expedition to Hetao. This is in itself to balance the situation between me and the DPRK. It’s related to the old-school martial arts.
It seems like it’s up to me to decide who of your old-school martial arts has the ability. So what’s the balance?
I’ll be the one to decide the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Bingkuan, who are you? Even if the person you use is not yours, the strategy is not up to you to think about and achieve some results, but it requires you to plan it comprehensively." Besides, it’s too foreign to talk about you and me, old and new. We all serve the Ming Dynasty, so why should we distinguish each other?"
Zhang Mao is an old cunning guy.
Zhang Zhouxin said, This old guy probably sees that the flow of history is unstoppable and it is difficult for traditional cold weapon warfare to become the mainstream, so you want to move closer to the new faction.
As the saying goes, multiple enemies are not as good as multiple friends. I can’t stand it, but I should at least understand that the rolling tide of history has nothing to do with your old Zhang family. The old Zhang family can only go with the flow.
Zhang Zhou said, “But if I say, your grandson Zhang Lun’s mind is flexible. Even if he is still slack on matters such as bows and horses, if he can be allowed to accompany the army in person, it may make people feel safer than the son. ”
“He”
Zhang Mao frowned.
Is this a matter of deciding the successor for me?
I clearly understand You can let your son do it. My son once didIf you have the experience of serving on the frontier, why should you find a fledgling grandson to embarrass yourself
"My personal opinion, let the British public listen to it." Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's not early. Say goodbye."
"You"
Zhang Mao originally wanted to pull Zhang Zhou and talk about his son's advantages, but he never thought that Zhang Zhou would be so disrespectful and just roll up his sleeves and leave.
Zhang Zhou's voice came from not far away, "If you want to serve the country, you should express your feelings to His Majesty more often. Talking to me will have no practical effect."
Cui Yuan spent one day in Yanwu Hall.
The content of the lectures was mainly given by several heads of the Ministry of War, and even Lin Ting served as a lecturer and gave them some lectures. Finally, Zhu Feng gave them the last lesson.
Cui Yuan feels that he has gained a lot.
When I got home, I happily went to talk to my wife.
But just as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yongkang walking towards him with a dark face.
"Princess" Cui Yuan suddenly felt as if she had done something wrong.
Being the consort of the Ming Dynasty, one should have the consciousness of being a vase, but now it seems that he wants to become a prosperous person and betray his family.
I want to be self-reliant and want to fly solo
Yongkang said, "What have you done? Why does even the emperor praise you so much? It just depends on whether you study well or not"
When Yongkang first learned that her husband was awesome, she was naturally very happy, but then she couldn’t understand why her husband could stand out among a group of people since he had never been exposed to military affairs.
< p>Is there some secret that I don't know?Cui Yuandao "Princess, that's it. Didn't I study at home a few days ago? It was given by Mr. Wang, the left minister of the household department. I will come back After studying for a few days, His Majesty asked me to write a military policy today, so I wrote a few paragraphs based on my own ideas and the inspiration from the above. In fact, my performance in riding and shooting is very bad, and I thought I would not be able to face you. "
"It turns out that there is a noble person helping me."
Yongkang was a little relieved, rolled his eyes at his husband and said, "Seeing that you have not let down my heart, just I won’t argue with you anymore. I’ll see how I deal with you next time.” Please remember to bookmark the latest website and read it for free without theft.
