After Zhu Ying returned to Beijing, she naturally went straight to the palace.
After Zhu Ying left, Lan Yu and others reunited again.
"Dong Guo Liang, what do you mean by this, Your Highness? Why do I have the feeling that I want to target the army?"
Cao Zhen said directly that the only people who could be here were a few acquaintances and they didn't have much scruples.
Lan Yu hasn't spoken yet.
Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Junshao, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, He Rong, the governor of the East, and others all nodded in agreement.
Everyone was very excited when they came, but now they all feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, His Royal Highness Changsun's actions have touched their cake. Not only will the wealth of his brothers be cut off, but his military power will also seem to be subject to many restrictions.
This is not what my family does.
"Mr. Liang Guo, it's not just our brothers who say this, this really makes everyone feel unhappy. We are all loyal to His Highness Changsun and have absolutely no second thoughts."
"No matter what His Highness wants to do, even if it's us, we can keep up."
Heshouhou Zhang Yi said, although he didn't say what he was doing specifically, everyone knew...
When Lan Yu heard these words, her face suddenly darkened.
After looking around, he said in a deep voice: "Do you think that His Highness Changsun would not be able to achieve success without you? Or do you think that we must rely on you to control the military power?"
Lan Yu keenly realized that there was something wrong with her brothers' mentality.
Perhaps because the identity of His Highness Changsun has not yet been announced by His Majesty, these people thought that His Highness was relying on them.
Forced into the palace?
In fact, Lan Yu had also thought about this before, but later Lan Yu knew that there was no possibility at all.
He had already discovered this when he was commanding the army at Handong.
When news of the death of His Royal Highness came, he wanted to test it out, but was resisted by many soldiers.
Coupled with the list Zhu Ying gave him, Lan Yu felt clear.
"Don't presume to speculate on His Highness's intentions. His Highness will not ignore us regardless of emotion or reason. Everyone is well aware of the current situation."
"But one thing I will understand first is that His Highness's wisdom is beyond our reach. There are some things that I can explain to you clearly now."
"The work-for-relief scheme, the separation of military and political affairs that were tried out some time ago are actually His Highness's idea, but His Highness's identity has not yet been announced."
"Your Majesty has very high hopes for His Highness. Regarding the army and military power, I am afraid that his actions are not aimed at us, but to reform the entire Ming Dynasty's army."
Lan Yu's words shocked everyone.
They have been fighting for many years and have experienced many reforms by His Majesty.
Every reform is almost equivalent to a change of power. If you go into it carelessly, you may die without knowing how.
Everyone is older now, and they also read a few books on weekdays.
Changes are often accompanied by bloodshed.
"It seems that we have misunderstood His Highness. Your Highness should make it clear to us in advance so that we can be mentally prepared in advance."
"If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid Your Highness hasn't even told His Majesty yet, otherwise the news should have spread long ago."
Dingyuanhou Wangbi opened his mouth and said.
Wang Bi, who was once called the King of Double Swords, is now over sixty years old. In many aspects, he sees things somewhat wisely.
Lan Yu nodded and said: "Marquis Dingyuan is right. You have just come into contact with His Highness, and you don't know how His Highness behaves."
"I have also told you about His Highness's situation. Let alone His Highness's age, even if we are in His Highness's situation, we would not be able to achieve His Highness's achievements."
Everyone nodded, and when talking about Zhu Ying's situation before entering the capital, everyone was shocked.
"It's just Duke Liang. You are the uncle of the state, so you don't have any news. His Highness's words make the brothers feel unsure."
Cao Zhen said first.
This matter is indeed much talked about.
After listening to this, Lan Yu thought about it in her mind and said, "But there is still something interesting about it."
"Say it quickly!"
Everyone urged.
Lan Yu pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then said: "Everyone knows about His Highness's personal bodyguard camp, the Xuanjia Guards."
"How majestic!" Cao Zhen praised, his face filled with envy.
He was lucky enough to see it once, the neat military appearance, the movements of thousands of people, and the stern momentum.
Anyone who sees it will be shocked.
Lan Yu didn't have any problem with Cao Zhen snatching the flowers, and continued to add: "Do you know how often Xuanjia Guards practice?"
"Not once a day, not once every two days, but three times a day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of gasping in the audience.
"Isn't it possible? If you do three exercises a day, isn't that training someone to death?" Zhu Shou said with some disbelief.
Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Junyao, was the commander of Henghai Guards and the governor of Qianshi.
and supervise water transportation.
This is considered a good job, so the family's money is not bad.
Valley poetry
In terms of military training, Zhu Shou himself was very knowledgeable and thought he was no worse than others.
However, he had never even thought about such things as practicing three times a day.
"Not only that, His Highness also found many teachers for Xuanjiawei to teach them how to read, read, and learn the art of war."
Lan Yu threw a bomb again.
Everyone was shocked by the thunder.
When will the big-headed soldiers be able to read and write? What does Your Highness want to do?
There was an incredible look in everyone's eyes.
"If the whole army is like this and spends so much, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to bear it."
After a long silence, Zhu Shou couldn't help but say.
Lan Yu replied: "Your Majesty is extremely supportive of this matter. I heard some time ago that new crops were sent by His Highness Chang Sun."
"The specific reason is unknown, but His Majesty is very happy. He even said that the people of Ming Dynasty will no longer be hungry."
Several people looked at each other.
Cao Zhen said: "If this is really the case, we can understand His Highness's behavior. Looking at this situation, Your Highness must want to cancel the field troops."
Lan Yu shook his head and said: "Probably not. We have millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. There is absolutely no reason to cancel it, but I think there will be more soldiers."
"They will undergo elite training just like the current Xuanjia Guards. From now on, the difference between the military and civilians will be huge."
Speaking of this, Lan Yu suddenly remembered a previous proposal from the Ministry of War and said: "During the morning meeting half a month ago, Minister Ru of the Ministry of War proposed that I, the Ming Dynasty, do not have enough catching ability."
"The selection of veterans who want to retire from the army can be regarded as a job for the veterans who have fought hard all their lives."
Except for Lan Yu, everyone did not go to court very often. They usually stayed in the local area, that is, they were recently recalled by His Majesty.
Hearing this, Dongguanbo He Rong, who had been silent until now, asked, "How can Rujun have such a good intention?"
He Rong has a silent temperament, and the reason why he spoke was because he had a problem with Ru Ru.
There were many conflicts between the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office.
Of course, this is also Zhu Yuanzhang's way of checks and balances.
Before Ru Yu took office as Minister of War, he was severely punished by Ru Yu for certain things, so he never dealt with him.
"How can it be Ru Shangshu's thoughts? It is naturally His Highness's or His Majesty's thoughts. Ru Yu proposed it and just borrowed it from his mouth."
Cao Zhen said directly.
However, after such exchanges, everyone discovered that His Highness seemed to have ideas about improving the fate of the soldiers, or their treatment.
As for military power, although everyone is a little greedy, but now that His Majesty is still here, no one can think of it.
An edict has been issued, and everyone must hand over the tiger talisman honestly.
Daming Palace, in Huagai Hall.
"Let's take a closer look. After being out for so long, I seem to have lost a lot of weight. Grandson, I'm really sorry for you."
One month later, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Ying, his eyes full of pity.
This was the first time he had not seen his eldest grandson for so long since he met him.
To be honest, from the day Zhu Ying left the capital, or the moment he left the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it in his heart.
Especially because it is related to the plague, my intestines are almost turning green.
Even though Zhu Ying made it very clear that he would never enter a plague area, the worries in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart only increased but did not decrease as each day passed.
Several times late at night, Zhu Yuanzhang could not sleep, so he walked to his study and picked up his pen and ink.
After writing the edict, he will summon the grandson back to the capital.
Right now, there are several edicts to recall Zhu Ying in the study room of Qianqing Palace.
But at the last moment, Zhu Yuanzhang held back.
It has reached a limit. If Da Sun doesn't come back, he will have to leave.
"My grandson makes grandpa worried."
Zhu Ying originally wanted to report directly to the plague area, but the old man's words made his heart tremble.
This is genuine care.
People are selfish. Perhaps in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, no matter how severe the plague was, it could not compare with the safety of his great grandson.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. It's already this time. Is Grandson hungry? I'll ask the cooks to make something delicious right away."
"I've lost so much weight! I've lost so much weight!"
Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Ying's hand tightly and had no intention of letting go.
He was afraid that if he let go like this, he wouldn't know when he would be able to hold her next time.
During the time when Da Sun was away.
More than 20 employees were executed in the court.
The entire court seemed to have returned to darkness.
The official took out the suicide note that had been hidden once again with tears in his eyes.
