Chapter 1224 Military Reform - Epilogue

After saying this, Yunxi coughed twice and said loudly: "Let's stop here for the case. Let's talk about the imperial edicts that I just ordered to read out."

"I believe that although there may be some omissions in the new system that I want to implement, minor repairs can be made later to make up for the omissions. Now the change of the military attaché system has become urgent, so we should not give up on the reform because of choking.

What do you dear ladies think?"

At this time, Sang Jing and many others had been arrested. Although the remaining Chen Huan and others were still standing in the court, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were in ruins. Unless they were close associates who really couldn't get rid of them, they would

They tried their best to escape before the ship sank, but most of the cronies had already been arrested, so at this time, except for a few people who were still firmly opposed, most people remained silent or spoke out in support of the reform.

Yunxi ignored these voices and announced that he would carry out reforms from tomorrow and build a new Yamen within three months. Xu Huizu and others immediately bowed down to accept the order, and the matter was settled.

Yunxi nodded imperceptibly, and was about to say the next thing. Chen Xingshan, who had been silent just now, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something unclear. Please tell me."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict read out by His Majesty just now appointed the Governor's Tongzhi and the Governor's Assistant of the Governor's Mansion, but did not appoint the Governor. May I ask Your Majesty, who do you want to appoint as the Governor?" Chen Xingshan asked.

Chen Xingshan was not unaware that Yunxi might not have decided who would be the governor yet, but he had just counted it and found that all the people who were qualified to be the governor had been appointed to official positions except Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, but Jingchuan

Hou was in very poor health. He was no longer qualified to serve as a Chunfu officer in name only, let alone a governor. So he asked.

"The post of Grand Governor is temporarily vacant," Yunxi said.

"Then Your Majesty, who will handle matters in the Governor's Mansion?"

"I remember that at the original site of the Governor's Mansion, which is also where the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion is now, there were four pavilions named after Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu respectively. They were called Qinglong Pavilion, White Tiger Pavilion, and Zhuque Pavilion.

and Xuanwu Pavilion. Among these four pavilions, when King Qiyang was the governor, he used to discuss affairs in Zhuque Pavilion."

"So I have decided that in the future, whenever there is something difficult to decide in the Governor's Office, the two Governors will convene the four Governors, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department, and the Department Branch.

, the six ministers of the Navy or the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief Ying Tianxing, the commander-in-chief, held a meeting at Zhuque Pavilion to discuss the matter. The final decision will be based on the outcome of the meeting."

"Your Majesty, if there is endless debate at the meeting, how should we deal with it?" Chen Xingshan continued to ask.

"Then follow the example of Ting Tui, and the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office will decide the result." Yunxi said again.

Chen Xingshan wanted to ask again, but was suddenly pulled by someone. He glanced with the corner of his eye and saw Qi Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He hesitated, stopped talking and stepped back.

The matter regarding the reform of the military attache system was settled in this way. After talking about a few small things, the waiter announced his withdrawal from the court, and Yunxi stood up and left. All the civil and military officials present saluted in the direction of Yunxi's departure.

Turn around and leave Fengtian Hall one after another.

Although only one major event, the reform of the military attache system, was discussed in the main hall today, this major event included countless small things, including the imprisonment of many officials in the court. So the officials were walking while leaving the main hall.

The discussion was very lively.

But among these people, two of them were talking about something completely different from the others. "Shang Li (the word for Qi Tai), why did you pull me just now?" Chen Xingshan asked Qi Tai.

"Fuchu, did you not understand what His Majesty said? Your Majesty does not want to set up the post of Grand Governor at all." Qitai said: "If a Grand Governor is established and all the soldiers and horses in the world are under his jurisdiction, then this official position will

The power is too heavy, and His Majesty will definitely be worried. Wasn't it because the late emperor abolished the Metropolitan Governor's Office and established the Five Army Governor's Office because he was worried about this?"

"I know this too. But if we don't establish the post of Grand Governor, why can some matters be decided at the Suzaku Pavilion meeting?"

"Wouldn't it be possible for such a matter to be reported to His Majesty?" Seeing that everyone around him was talking about the arrest just now, Qi Tai said softly to Chen Xingshan: "Your Majesty actually wants to hand over the daily general affairs to others, so as to

I am also the governor-general. But there is no reason for the emperor to hold an official position. So I can only arrange it this way."

"Hey, Your Majesty." Chen Xingshan sighed and said, "By doing this, Your Majesty has indeed prevented a certain general from having too much power, but in this way, the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion may not be as good as the previous Five Military Governor's Mansion."

"I don't think so." Qi Tai said with a smile: "I do think that the Zhuque Pavilion meeting system is very clever and will be much better than the previous Five Army Governor's Mansion."

"Then I'll wait and see." Chen Xingshan finally said.





"Peng Aiqing, you did a good job today." While Chen Xingshan and Qi Tai were discussing, Yunxi had already arrived at Jinshen Hall and said to Peng Qingzong who was standing in front of him.

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. Your Majesty can uphold justice and re-account the merits of my ministers in my name. I thank you for your grace." Peng Qingzong knelt down and said.

"Hey, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If even I can't uphold justice, who else can uphold justice? You don't have to thank me for my grace. Get up." Yunxi said.

And Yunxi also added in his heart: "If I hadn't learned about your case, if I hadn't learned about it in Yiwu last year, what I have to do today would not have been so smooth. Speaking of which, I

I have to thank you.'

Peng Qingzong learned that his credit had been appropriated by others as early as four years after the document was officially issued in the fourth year of Jianye. He was very angry at the time, but the matter had been discussed by Mei Yin, Ning Wang Zhu Quan and Zhang Yi, and he

Reporting this matter will definitely offend these three people. Even if he gets the credit back, the end will never be good; and he thinks that the crows in the world are as black as black. If his report is stopped halfway and does not reach the emperor's eyes, then

It was even more pointless to offend someone. So he endured it and vowed to wait until he could be received by Yunxi in person before he could tell Yunxi in person.

In the battle between Yi and Wu last year, he had made great contributions and was qualified to participate in the celebration banquet. He whispered this to Yunxi after Yunxi came to his table.

Yunxi's first reaction was of course anger. Although Zhang Yi's actions were merciful, the impact was very bad. He decided at that time to deal with Zhang Yi after returning to Beijing and seek justice for Peng Qingzong.
