After listening to Emperor Liu's explanation, Yang Ye fell into a rare silence. This was a sign of thinking and even hesitation. Such a situation was rare for Yang Ye.
In the past, Emperor Liu only had an assignment. No matter how far the task was, even if the road ahead was filled with swords, mountains of fire, and the ground was full of thorns, he would fulfill his duties generously without any hesitation.
Of course, it was the same now. His hesitation at this time was just because he had some doubts about the officer academy, or he failed to fully understand Emperor Liu's intention.
Without fully understanding the emperor's intention, Yang Ye did not dare to shoulder it rashly. Yang Ye's suspicions were not hidden. Upon seeing this, Emperor Liu said with a gentle tone: "This is
It’s not urgent, it requires careful preparation, I’ll give you half a year!”
Yang Ye nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter cannot be completed by me alone. In order to be thorough and live up to my trust, I hope to send a capable official to help!"
This is natural. No matter how much Emperor Liu trusts Yang Ye, he cannot let him take charge of this matter alone. After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu said without thinking: "I have found a good helper for you, Han Hui!"
"Han Shangshu is capable in doing things. With his help, I can relax!" Yang Ye chuckled. He naturally knew that Emperor Liu valued him.
Emperor Liu instructed: "I will pay attention to this matter at any time. The two of you should work closely together to make preparations. First discuss the academic system, students, instructors, etc., and draw up a statement. If you have any questions or ideas,
, we will discuss it further later.
I would like to mention a few points for your reference. The instructors in the academy should include all types of generals and officers at all levels in the Han armies. They should all be experienced and good at teaching. The dogmatic lesson plans can be made more detailed and divided into categories...
..”
As Emperor Liu spoke, Yang Ye remembered that these can be used to effectively understand the holy meaning. After thinking about it for a while, Yang Ye finally asked what he was most confused about: "Your Majesty, you just said that martial arts
The examination selection is aimed at the officers and soldiers of the Han army. The academy needs to select a wider range of candidates. Where should we draw the candidates?"
Yang Ye's words seemed to be on point. Emperor Liu glanced at him and said softly: "It doesn't need to be limited to the army. It should be done nationwide to select those who are ambitious and talented, regardless of their origins.
High or low, regardless of race!”
"Of course!" After a pause, Emperor Liu continued: "There are no restrictions. First of all, the age of college students should be under twenty-five years old. They must be children of good families with a clean family background. They must not commit any illegal crimes and must be in good health.
More importantly, you must be loyal to the Han Dynasty and the court, and be able to withstand the test of loyalty...
Please think more about the specific requirements. In short, the door of the academy is not opened lightly, and the selection and admission of students must be carefully grasped. In addition, students of the Military Academy will automatically be qualified for the martial arts examination after graduation!"
After listening to Emperor Liu's explanation, Yang Ye finally understood something and had a clearer understanding and idea in his mind. He bowed and responded: "I obey your orders!"
"Guan family, His Royal Highness King Wei and the others are back!" Yan Tuo pointed his sharp eyes and pointed into the distance suddenly, reminding Emperor Liu.
For this casual hunt, in addition to Yang Ye, Emperor Liu also called Liu Min. At the same time, there was also Yang Yanlang, the new martial arts champion. Emperor Liu's favor for the Yang family was not only because of Yang Ye, but also because of his
My sons love it equally.
Looking around, a group of knights emerged from the sparse trees, spurring their horses to gallop. The leaders were Liu Min and Yang Yanlang. When they got close, they dismounted early to avoid being surprised, and their bodies fell to the ground.
Extraordinarily light and agile.
Seeing Liu Min and others, Emperor Liu couldn't help but have a smile on his face. He turned his head and said to Yang Ye: "Seeing these young people so heroic and energetic, I feel even more sluggish! The future of the Han Dynasty depends on them.
guard!"
Yang Yedao: "You are still young after all, and the country still needs your Majesty's leadership to make strides forward steadily!"
"The future is still theirs after all!" Emperor Liu said.
"See Your Majesty!" Liu Min took the lead and stepped forward to salute. His face was full of heroism, and his handsome face showed a bit of joy.
In the past few months since returning to Beijing, he has obviously been well nourished, and Liu Min seems to have grown a lot more. His body has recovered from the hardships of the bitter cold, but his resolute temperament has settled down, and he is becoming more neither humble nor overbearing in the face of Emperor Liu.
"It seems that you have gained quite a lot!" Emperor Liu glanced at the prey they were hanging on and his face was full of gentleness.
Liu Min waved back, and two guards carried a deer and placed it on the grass. An arrow was hit in the neck, and fresh blood was still seeping out. Liu Min cupped his hands and said, "I have hunted a deer and dedicated it to Your Majesty!"
"I accept your gift!" Emperor Liu smiled and immediately told Yantuo: "Get ready and eat this deer on the spot!"
In the wilderness, with cool breeze blowing and grass blades flying, Emperor Liu and his party sat on the ground, set up a fire, roasted meat, drank wine and chatted.
Yang Ye personally performed the work, peeling the skin and removing the bones, and cooked the venison, showing his skillful skills. Seeing his actions, Emperor Liu couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect that you, Chonggui, are already in a high position, and your ability to barbecue has not deteriorated at all.
It’s still so handy! I haven’t tasted your craftsmanship for many years, so I can’t help but salivate!”
Yang Ye turned over the roasted venison, and with quick movements of his hands, he added seasonings, brushed sesame oil on it, and said in his mouth: "If you can put aside other things, don't dare to forget this skill of cooking prey!"
Liu Min echoed from the side: "I remember that when I was in Jinshan, the most delicious thing I ate was the meat grilled by Yang Gong himself. It was a pity that there was a lack of supplementary ingredients and even salt at that time. Now, it is very delicious."
What a feast!”
Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Min, with a bit of kindness in his eyes. He found that since returning to Beijing, this sixth son was much more cheerful than usual, and he could speak more when facing himself. Such changes,
This made Emperor Liu feel gratified.
"Yang Ye has a lot of skills, which are worthy of your descendants to learn from!" Emperor Liu said.
Liu Min nodded and said, "I have great admiration for Mr. Yang!"
Listening to the conversation between father and son, Yang Ye naturally expressed his humility, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious between these few words.
Barbecuing on the fire, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting, this was also a kind of enjoyment that made Emperor Liu feel relaxed. His eyes fell on Yang Yanlang aside, and Emperor Liu asked: "Yanlang, the Privy Council has arranged for you to
Where do you work?"
Compared with his father and brother, Yang Yanlang's appearance is not so tough, his facial lines are softer, he is very handsome, and his body also exudes a vigorous masculinity.
Of course, when facing Emperor Liu, it was inevitable that he would feel a little embarrassed. After hearing the question, he subconsciously wanted to stand up and answer, but Emperor Liu stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Your Majesty, I have been assigned to go to Shanyang to guard the border and serve as a cavalry general under the command of Prince Consort Li!" Yang Yanlang replied.
According to the method proposed by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, this batch of martial arts scholars were all assigned to the internal and external armies for training. Those with military positions were promoted to two to three levels, and those without military positions were placed in the army. Their positions were generals.
Starting. The other reference officers who did not win the Jinshi were also promoted based on their performance in the assessment.
After such a conclusion, the martial arts examination of the Han Dynasty has completely become a promotion assessment for lower-level officers and soldiers. Regardless of whether they can pass the Jinshi examination, there are benefits.
"Shanyang, that's a good place. It's a troubled time outside the Great Wall, and it's also where young people like you come into play. You have to perform well. I'm waiting for your achievements and rewards for you!" Emperor Liu said.
"Yes! I will definitely remember your Majesty's teachings!" Yang Yanlang said immediately.
The Li consort Yang Yanlang mentioned was naturally married to the eldest princess Li Jilong. Soon after the marriage, he was sent to Shanyang to lead the army, in order to fulfill Emperor Liu's intention of training young men.
Even Princess Liu Jia followed her north to live in Yunzhong to prevent the couple from living too far apart. For this reason, Emperor Liu even made Concubine Fu Hui complain.
