Chapter 339: Autumn Comes and Spring Comes Early (Part 2)
Chen Ke's bitter plan finally worked. After two months of delay, the two governments met in the political hall to discuss Zeng Gongliang's "Request to Restructure the Martial Arts Code to Follow the Official Examples". Chen Ke was its initiator and concurrently held the post of the Royal Martial Arts Academy.
The judge was sentenced and was also notified to attend.
The contents of the letter have been copied and sent to all the ministers, but at the beginning of the meeting, a scholar read it out first.
The gentlemen listened with solemn expressions. After practicing to their level, you can no longer guess their real thoughts from their expressions, words and deeds. If you still use the method of observing words and expressions, you will definitely be sold and help count the money.
Therefore, Chen Ke also observed his nose with his eyes, and his mind with his nose, and imitated the practices of his ministers to cultivate their nature.
After Na Sheren finished reciting, the rich prime minister said slowly: "Prime Minister, do you have anything else to add?"
Zeng Gongliang nodded and said in a deep voice: "In ancient times, people were trained to be masters and learned. When a general is appointed, the people are responsible for his leadership. He must cultivate his talents and be safe and sound. That's why the government reestablished the martial arts school three years ago.
At the Wucheng King Temple, now three years have passed, but the situation of the Royal Martial Arts Academy is in a precarious situation. The court needs to come up with ways to reverse the decline. It is hoped that the princes will take the overall situation first, make early decisions, and train qualified generals for the court as soon as possible.
, to enhance the military strength of the Song Dynasty!" He paused and said, "This is also what the officials want."
Zeng Gongliang pulled a tiger skin to make a banner, but the princes were not moved, because in the Song Dynasty, there was a special sealing department. If the emperor's decree was deemed inappropriate, he could return it and ask the emperor to issue a new decree. Therefore, the emperor's
The decree is not a golden rule. If all the ministers feel that it is inappropriate, then Zhao Zhen's decree will be invalid.
"What do you think, you gentlemen?" After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, Fu Bi said to all the ministers fairly: "What do you think, gentlemen?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Gongchen, the political advisor, said: "I remember that twenty years ago, Duke Fan Wenzheng set up a martial arts school, but it only existed for ninety-three days."
"Not bad." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Why couldn't it open at that time?"
"The enrollment situation is so poor that Fan Gong is worried that the enemy will think that people in the Song Dynasty do not like martial arts, which will lead to contempt." Sun Bian, another counselor and political officer, said: "That's why the martial arts school was closed and changed to
This is a method of subsidizing good talents to self-study by local governors to cultivate talents for the country."
"It can be seen that this is not the first time that martial arts has been unable to continue." Wang Gongchen said solemnly: "This shows that the martial arts academy itself is a mistake, and it is not advisable to train generals in this way."
Chen Ke has seen shameless people, but never such shameless people. This Wang Gongchen talks nonsense, uses cause and effect, and confuses right and wrong. It is really shameless. This shows the necessity of introducing logic to the Song Dynasty...
"The reason why the martial arts academy cannot be opened is not because of anything wrong with it," Zeng Gongliang said displeasedly, "but because there are too many prejudices and hostility!"
"I have no hostility," Wang Gongchen also said with a downcast face: "I just think that the experience of official learning is not suitable for martial arts. All of you are familiar with history books, dare to ask which of the famous ancient generals came from martial arts? In the Han and Tang Dynasties, even if there is no
Martial arts can also cultivate countless excellent generals and create a powerful army in the world!"
"You can't learn the skills of leading troops in war by learning from books. Martial arts can only train you to be useless on paper!" After a pause, Wang Gongchen said righteously: "The officers of the Song Dynasty should also be trained in the military camp and grow up on the battlefield.
It’s not like a scholar, sitting in a school and studying!”
Wang Gongchen's rebuttal was very representative, representing the various dislikes of Song Dynasty officials towards martial arts.
Zeng Gongliang was so angry that his beard stood straight up and said: "It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. What kind of elite soldiers and generals can you cultivate with your method?"
"Of course not, but it is caused by various reasons." Wang Gongchen has been at the Cardinal for a long time, using all kinds of excuses and arguments with great skill: "Does the Cardinal need me to explain it one by one?"
"I only ask you three questions." Zeng Gongliang was able to become the Privy Council, and it was not like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. He took a deep breath and stopped following the opponent's train of thought: "First, the officers who lead troops in war,
Do they need to learn Tao Lue martial arts? Secondly, do they need to cultivate their loyalty to the Song Dynasty and the official family? Thirdly, is martial arts the best way to solve one and two?"
"This..." Wang Gongchen wanted to change the subject.
"You just need to answer me, yes or no." Zeng Gongliang held him down firmly.
"No." Wang Gongchen's heart skipped a beat and he said.
"Then, what's the better way?" Zeng Gongliang stared at him closely and asked.
"I didn't expect this right now..." Wang Gongchen fell into Zeng Gongliang's trap.
"Hahaha..." Zeng Gongliang laughed: "Everyone, this is what is called opposing for the sake of opposing!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Wang Gongchen's face immediately turned red.
"Don't get excited," Fu Bi quickly tried to smooth things over: "Let's first listen to what others have to say."
"There is no doubt about the significance of martial arts. Otherwise, three years ago, the imperial court would not have approved the re-establishment of the martial arts academy and named it 'royal'." Sun Bian stated his position: "Appropriate reforms are also necessary, but the Prime Minister
The proposal is a bit radical, isn’t it?”
In this way, the two councilors expressed their opposition, and the two prime ministers should not express their opinions too early. In fact, the two deputy privy envoys also had opinions, but the east and west governments had always been at odds, and they would never undermine the prime minister and let him
Those who watch the joke in the political hall.
Why is Zeng Gongliang's proposal so controversial? Even the wealthy husband is not very satisfied. Because it involves too much:
He proposed that from now on, anyone who wants to participate in the martial arts examination must first study at the Royal Martial Arts Academy. The schooling lasts for three years, with commuting and off-duty classes. The graduation examination of the Martial Arts Academy is a preparatory examination for the martial arts examination.
Once you graduate from the academy, you are not eligible to participate in martial arts examinations.
It is also proposed that the status of Wu Jinshi should be improved, and those who have passed the military examination should be given priority in the court's selection of generals. It should even be stipulated that if you want to obtain a military position of seventh rank or above, you must have the qualification of Wu Jinshi.
For those military attaches who are promoted due to their merit and ability, they also need to study in a martial arts academy first, and then take part in the martial arts examination after graduation. Only if they pass the examination can they be awarded the seventh rank or above.
This means that once his bill is passed, the martial arts, martial arts, and military generals of the Song Dynasty will be closely linked. The status of the Royal Martial Arts Academy will be greatly improved, and a terrifying military general group will emerge. In time, with the civil servants
It’s not impossible to contend…
However, in this way, it seems that it can deal a heavy blow to those generals and nobles, and change the phenomenon that the army is a taboo of the hairpin family.
Thinking about this year's vacancy check, all the chaos in the army was a scene of the end of the world. If those generals were allowed to continue to act recklessly, what would the Song Dynasty do to resist the invasion of foreign races? Everyone would become slaves of the country's subjugation!
Of course Mr. Fu and others know that campaign-style anti-corruption alone will not help. After the news passes, corruption will resume and even intensify. Only by ending the situation where generals control the army can the atmosphere of the army be fundamentally changed.
Supporting the reform of martial arts would pose a threat to the civil service group and even bring danger to the Song Dynasty. But if we do not support it, the army will be terrible and the country will be extremely weak. If there is a foreign war, the true nature will be exposed. The destruction of the country and the genocide are not scaremongering.
A dilemma is placed in front of our husbands...
"Let's listen to what Zhong Fang has to say." After some weighing, the balance in Fu Bi's heart began to tilt quietly.
"Follow your orders." Chen Ke stood up, saluted all the ministers first, and then said loudly: "In my humble opinion, all corruption and malfeasance in the world is due to poor control! Poor control includes difficulty in delegating power, inadequate supervision, and
Feedback is not timely in three aspects. It is these three reasons that lead to the good decisions of the gentlemen, but they go wrong when it comes to the bottom. Because the people below know that the gentlemen can’t do anything to them, they act unscrupulously. As a result, they reap all the benefits, but
It makes my husband-in-law suffer infamy!"
Chen Ke's words may seem meaningless to ordinary people, but the eyes of all the gentlemen light up, as if they have grasped something that can explain the problems that have troubled them for a long time.
"The establishment of the martial arts academy will definitely be of great benefit to the imperial court in controlling the army!" Chen Ke said solemnly: "Needless to say, the previous appointments of military officers by the imperial court were all based on the recommendations of generals and nobles. Such people would not be appointed if they were appointed.
He is grateful to the imperial court but only recognizes his benefactor, thinking that his promotion is all tied to his benefactor, so he will naturally put his benefactor before the imperial court."
"The official weapons of the imperial court are used by generals and nobles to cultivate private individuals and win people's hearts. Over time, the imperial court's control over the army has naturally declined to the extreme, and all kinds of disadvantages have arisen from this!" After a pause, Chen Ke continued: "I want to change this.
In this case, we must change the concept of the generals and let them know that their official positions are given by the imperial court, and their food, clothing and salary are the people's anointing! Their benefactor is only the official family! They must obey the orders of the emperor and the imperial court.
!”
"The best way to change the concept of generals is to get them out of their original environment and receive a long-term education." I have to admit that Chen Ke knows how to persuade others, because he always starts from what the other party is interested in: "Except
In addition to military books, we also need to teach them the Book of Filial Piety, The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Zuo Shi Zhuan and other scholarly books, so that they know what great loyalty and righteousness are!"
"In time, these loyal and patriotic officers will occupy half of the army, even if it is only a small half, the situation will be completely reversed." Chen Ke tried his best to describe the wonderful prospect: "At that time, all the army, both inside and outside, will put love on the **
Under the supervision of an official, let’s see who dares to act in a secretive and disobedient way, harming the public and enriching private life!”
In order to bring the martial arts academy to nirvana and rebirth, Chen Ke completely threw away his integrity...
But the effect is quite good...

Sorry, it's a bit late. I was really drunk... I didn't wake up until about ten o'clock. In fact, I didn't drink much, but I just couldn't drink enough... (To be continued...)
