Chapter 456 Warriors in front of the palace seven
The 18-year-old Saint Zhao Ji walked out from behind the hall, wearing a bright red emperor's uniform and flat-footed head, and swayed into Chongzheng Hall. Compared with the Song Dynasty officials who had been sick for many generations before, the emperor in front of him looked wise and wise. His face was white and red, his figure was strong and strong, and his appearance was not rough. It was very consistent with the aesthetic concepts of the Song people. He was handsome and handsome, with moustaches on the corners of his lips, and he looked steady.
What reassuring the ministers was that this young emperor had been known for his longevity since childhood. He was in good health and was not as good as the descendants of the Zhao family. He never got sick. It is said that even bare-handed can see the tendons! Hanlin medical officials didn’t know Zhao Ji very much...
Moreover, the fertility of this Zhao Dashengjun is also guaranteed. Although he is only eighteen years old and is already a father of a son and a daughter, these two children are not sick, and the Hanlin medical officers have never seen them. In addition, there are two concubines in Zhao Dashengjun's harem who are already big and can have children the next year. Therefore, the ministers in the court are not worried about the issue of Zhao Ji's lack of heirs. Besides, with Zhao Ji's body, it is estimated that everyone will not live the day when he was Long Yubintian.
Of course, this holy king has the reputation of lust. This is similar to his short-lived brother and his short-lived father. Oh, he is beyond his predecessor.
However, the body is the capital of lust. The lust of the emperor is imported for the Zhao Song royal family. The emperor is lustful and lustful, and he doesn’t even have a prince. That is stupid.
When the prime ministers and officials in Chongzheng Hall were all very satisfied with the Holy Lord. The Zhao Dasheng, who was both civil and military, and whose talents must be better than those of Emperor Taizong of Tang, was a little unsatisfied with these prime ministers.
Everyone is a bad old man... Prime Minister Han Zhongyan is just a guy with no opinions. Every time he is criticized by the minister Zeng Bu, he is speechless. The minister Zeng Bu is just a thorn, he is not at all friendly, and he sounds like he is teaching someone a lesson. An Tao, the minister of the Privy Council, is a confused man, and he actually advocates giving up Huangzhou and Shanzhou. Zhang Feng, who is in charge of the Privy Council, is clear-headed. Although he is the brother of Zhang Dun, he is also usable. However, his body looks very weak. He stands there and is shaking and will not faint in Chongzheng Hall, right? There is also the Minister of Rites Li Nangong, who is 81 or 82, and he refuses to retire, and he wants to be the deputy prime minister... He has to devote all his efforts to the death and die?
The Holy Lord Zhao Ji sighed and told Xiao Huangmen in the distance: "Give all the officials in the hall to seat him."
Because there are too many old ministers, Zhao Ji gave seats to the ministers in Chongzheng Hall almost every day. The eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Academy who served in Chongzheng Hall (because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were generally in poor health, so the eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Academy were on duty in Chongzheng Hall to rescue them in time, but Zhao Ji didn't need them) were prepared and moved the slaughter and placed behind the ministers.
After the ministers thanked him, they all sat down one after another, and the meeting of the Chongzheng Palace officially began.
The focus of the quarrel between the old and new parties during this period was the abolition and retention of the Military and Education Department of the Privy Council. This matter doesn't seem to be big, but it's just the future of 500 young officers. However, what is involved is the three major events that may break the balance of power between the central government, the central government's command of soldiers, the emergence of grassroots officers and the training of new troops.
Zhao Ji, who had been a saint for a while, certainly knew that the power of the Song Dynasty was based on the balance and constraints of civil officials from the imperial examinations, generals who were reincarnated, and the Northwest Frontier Army.
The Military and Education Department of the Privy Council seems to be in charge of the civil servants in the center and the generals and sects of the Northwest Frontier Army, preparing to kick off the rhythm of the founding generals and capitalists!
The capitalists of Kaifeng Prefecture cannot fight, everyone knows this. But they are loyal and feel at ease to use it. They really kicked them away and replaced them with a group of generals from the northwest. Can the Holy Lord Zhao Ji sleep?
But the combat effectiveness of those Kaifeng generals is indeed a problem... Zhao Ji is still waiting to be the Saint Lord!
"You guys, today I have received Zuo Zhengyan's memorial, saying that the Military Academy of the Privy Council violates the family rules of his ancestors and must be lifted out as soon as possible. I also said that Murong Wangyou, the Minister of the Military Academy, is Zhang Dun's personal personalities and is training private soldiers for Zhang Dun. What do you think?"
When the officials in the palace couldn't help frowning when they heard Zhao Ji's question. This was Ren Boyu's memorial. Although they did not directly point out that Zhang Dun had a bad intention, they still brought the charge of "private soldiers".
"Private soldiers" were not absolutely not allowed in the Song Dynasty. You can raise a little by yourself, otherwise you won't even have a confidant follower around you when you go to the battlefield! But it's a taboo to raise private soldiers!
In addition, "private soldiers" are also divided into grades. Baojia's Baoding can actually contact private soldiers, but that is allowed. Because Baoding cannot equip armor and weapons, he can only have a small amount of paper armor and less powerful "civil weapons", which does not pose a threat to the rule of the court.
However, the military and academic department of the Privy Council is concentrated in the elite, most of which are low-level military officers from the Western Army, and they have been on the battlefield and killed Western thieves! Moreover, they are dignified official troops and their equipment is unrestricted. If these people become Zhang Dun's confidant soldiers and secretly enter the capital at a critical moment, they can launch a coup and abolish the king.
If Zhang Dun had hundreds of armored soldiers on the 13th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Yuanfu, then the person sitting in Chongzheng Hall would not be the saint Zhao Ji...
"The establishment of the Military Academy was the most beneficial governance for the country since the Yuanfu year. The purpose was to use schools to train generals and officers to lead troops, and to formulate laws and regulations for marching and war. After taking over as Privy Councilor, I carefully reviewed the various regulations and regulations for training generals and soldiers formulated by the Military Academy. I always felt enlightened. I thought that I could improve the Military Academy, but I should not give up on the method of cultivating generals by schools, and use laws and regulations to train troops, and I should not regard the Military Academy as whose private soldiers."
Although the new Privy Councilor An Tao and Zhang Dun had a bad relationship and criticized Shaosheng and Yuanfu's new policies since the beginning of the Yuanfu, he still stood behind Zhang Dun without hesitation when it comes to the issue of the Military and Education Department.
In fact, using schools to train generals is part of Wang Anshi's new policy. Wang Anshi's method is to restore the martial arts that had been opened for three months during the Qingli period. However, Wang Anshi did not understand military affairs, so he turned the martial arts into a "martial arts cram school", which was basically a failure.
Murong Wangyou and Zhao Zhongge are really aware of their own knowledge. Wu Haogu came up with a way to teach students to teach teachers, allowing young officers on the front line of the Western Army to enroll in school and contribute their military experience. Therefore, it took Murong Wangyou only a year and a half to formulate a complete set of equipment, training, combat and command methods suitable for "department" and "team", as well as training methods for military commanders at the two levels of the "team" and "team".
Of course, what has been formulated now is only the infantry method, and the cavalry has not yet figured out how to do it.
But such achievements are still remarkable!
"Your Majesty, the country already has martial arts and can educate officers. Why should we open the Military Academy of Privy Council? If the laws and regulations of the Military Academy are good, we can just use martial arts. If Murong Wangyou is indeed capable, let him be the Imperial College and the Ph.D. It is inappropriate to let the Privy Council govern the Military Academy of Privy Council. Since An Tao advocated the retention of the Military Academy, Han Zhongyan naturally advocated the abolition of the Military Academy. Although he also knew that the work of the Military Academy was effective, the Song Dynasty had such national conditions and had always liked to distract power. It is always reassuring to hand over the work of cultivating generals to a relatively independent Imperial College system.
Han Zhongyan seemed to make sense, and Zhao Ji turned to look at Zeng Bu again.
Zeng Bu retorted: "Since the reopening of martial arts in the Xining period, there have never been a military general who is good at fighting, and few people even joined the army. The reason is that the Imperial College itself does not involve military affairs. The doctors and the teachings used in the way of using military to win are all laymen. How to educate military talents?"
"The doctors of the Imperial College, the teachers do not understand military affairs, so the civil servants of the Privy Council know how to lead troops? Now Murong Wangyou, who is in charge of the Military and Science Department, and both Zhao Zhongge are from the Liao people from the south. They have been born in generals for generations and are not real scholars. Using them to manage the Military and Science Department does not use the way of civil and military control. If the Military and Science Department is handed over to the Third Office for the Military and Science Department, it would be better if the good generals of our dynasty were in charge?"
It’s really true that the father is right, and the mother is right... Zhao Ji was a little overwhelmed. And he also knew that the reasonable methods were not in line with the family rules of the ancestors. He gave the Military Academy to the Privy Council so that the center could directly take charge of the elite soldiers. He handed over the Military Academy to the Third Office to manage the military and use military generals as teachers, which would not be used to control military military personnel. This would be equivalent to giving some of the power to select generals to military generals, which would easily form a relationship of teacher-student dependence in the army.
And the route that conforms to the family rules of the ancestors is to let civil officials who can’t fight at all but only draw formations teach others to fight...
Zhao Ji sighed: "The abolition of the Military Science Department, let me discuss again. How should the 500 students who are studying in the Military Science Department be arranged?"
"They should be allowed to complete their studies," said An Tao, the official in charge of the Privy Council, "and then sent to the Hebei imperial guards to serve as training officers."
This is to use the young generals of the Western Army to grab the job of Kaifeng generals!
Zhao Ji frowned because he encountered another seemingly unsolvable problem! Before the chaos in Xixia started, most of the official positions of the Northwest Imperial Army were also taken over by the Kaifeng generals.
Now the Western Army has formed its own system. A group of local military generals in the northwest that rose in the Song and Xia War occupied most of the official positions of the Northwest Imperial Army and squeezed out the Kaifeng generals. You can figure out the relationship between the two sides with your heels.
If the Northwest General Gate invades into the Hebei Imperial Army, which originally belonged to the Kaifeng General Gate, the two sides would probably have a more fierce struggle!
