Since the East Palace Guards expanded the range of troops, and the military states of the country were not all close to Bianliang, the entire selection of troops was directly postponed from late spring to early autumn.
Nearly half a year was left to allow each military prefecture to conduct preliminary elections and to allow the Zhundong palace guards who had passed the preliminary elections to have ample time to arrive at Bianliang.
For a time, the interest in the selection of East Palace Guards among the good people in the country even exceeded the imperial examination...
Both are recruiting talents for the country, but as for the situation after promotion and future development, it is really hard to say which one is higher and which one is lower.
Just like Su Lin said: The tower near the water gets the moon first, and the flowers and trees facing the sun are like spring.
After passing the rank of Jinshi, after many trials and tribulations, the prince inherited the throne, and now the first-class Jinshi may not be able to enter the imperial class.
As for the guards of the East Palace, if they are of a certain standard, by the time the prince inherits the throne, they will most likely rise to prominence until they become the minister of military affairs, a lieutenant, or a lieutenant.
Of course, the teaching position of the East Palace Guards is even more... This is a private matter.
The people are just the people. Among the scholars, except for the speculation of this teaching, no one cares about the selection of soldiers at all.
Only scholars consciously understand the dynasty. Therefore, everyone has their own knowledge of the teaching position. If they don't have the background and qualifications, they won't be embarrassed. Just say: sit back and watch the situation, and then find a few old friends to talk nonsense.
Zhao Xi didn't know this and couldn't care less about it. Apart from talking nonsense with Pang Ji every day... To Zhao Xi, it was nonsense, but to Pang Ji, it was teaching Zhao Xi how to be a wise king.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xi's three views have been firmly established and cannot be changed by Pang Ji's indoctrination.
Zhao Xi has always understood the meaning of doing as the Romans do, and what to say on what occasion, not to mention a change in the environment.
He has always been quite normal. He says what he should say but doesn't say what he shouldn't. He and Pang Ji get along well.
Zhao Xi found that Pang Ji was a standard scholar-bureaucrat with a noble soul and exemplary conduct. His speech and behavior were not only elegant but upright. He had a heart to help the world, but he was powerless to deal with the shortcomings of the country and had to work hard to maintain the operation of the court.
.
A good man, a good minister, a good gentleman.
Pang Ji really wanted to communicate more with His Highness the Crown Prince. He could get a lot of inspiration from the conversation with the Crown Prince, but he couldn't tell who was teaching him. What he told the Crown Prince was the old rules, and what the Crown Prince guided him was the infinite breadth of thinking.
It's a pity that the political affairs hall is his main business. Originally, he had intended to find a teacher of classics for the prince, but found that there was really no scholar-official in the court who could teach the prince.
Therefore, Zhao Xi has free time, which is the time for master and apprentice to talk. And Zhao Xi needs to use this free time to build the camp as soon as possible.
The court gave the East Palace guard camp, which was a piece of the Forbidden Army camp. It also took care of the East Palace and gave it a camp close to the imperial city.
The military camp in Zhao Xi's impression... Forget it, let's not talk about it. When Zhao Xi saw this camp, it was completely different from what he imagined. It was not a military camp at all, but more like a workshop.
"Are all military camps like this?"
Zhao Xi asked, he really couldn't figure out how the military camp that was agreed upon became a residential area.
"Going back to Your Highness, as far as I know, this is the case for the military camps of the state and the dynasty. Regardless of the imperial army or the Xiang army, they all stay in the military camp with their families, which is equivalent to a village."
Zhao Xi frowned, and he could only frown. This was the case for all dynasties...
After measuring the dimensions and briefly drawing the layout, Zhao Xi returned without saying a word.
Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian found that since the prince became the prince, he had obviously gained more dignity. They felt very different from before when walking, sitting and lying down.
Therefore, he is much more careful when accompanying him than before. Especially Wang Zhongzheng, he knows very well that His Highness the Crown Prince is definitely not an official's temperament...
Zhao Xi was anxious, very anxious. The court allocated the military camp, but did not allocate money and food for the renovation of the military camp. In Zhao Xi's view, this rotten place had nothing to do with the military camp.
This is the case for all dynasties, which means that in the end, their own guards will be brought over by their families. These are not thirty or fifty people, but more than two thousand officers and soldiers, which is a strengthened regiment configuration.
Including clerical and logistics personnel, there were nearly 3,000 people, but if they were supported by their families, the number would be in the tens of thousands.
If the situation remains the same, there is no need for Zhao Xi to go through the trouble of selecting soldiers. But now...
"Mother, the child needs some money and food."
Zhao Xi didn't know how much money the Neiyuan had now. Anyway, Tao Niang often asked for some money for the renovation and renovation of the East Palace.
He... well, he can't tell whether it's public or private. For him, public or private is not important, what's important is to set an example.
"Xi'er..."
"Your Majesty, the imperial court allocated a camp for the Forbidden Army to the child, but there was no money or food related to the transformation. It only gave the territory. In the eyes of the child, such land is not a military camp at all, but a village."
"So the child wants to reform, and at the same time he has to make a living for the families of the guards who will come soon..."
The Queen really doesn't want to use Neiyuan's money to do things for the court, because the court has never been happy with Neiyuan's daily expenses. But this time it is Xi'er's guard camp, and Neiyuan's money and food are also earned by Xi'er
Down...
The matter of money and food has been discussed... that is to say, Zhao Xi knows how to respect the Queen. In a sense, the money is his personal private property.
leftover……
These days, Zhao Xi is carrying a guard of honor, and the Imperial City Secretary has dispatched some guards to accompany him. He is constantly moving between the palace and the general's prison. He also instructs Liu Yi to go to the market to inquire about the items he listed...
"Prime Minister Pang, how are your studies going, Your Highness the Prince?"
Wen Yanbo was promoted to Xifu because of the suppression of the Beizhou Rebellion. He had heard a lot about His Highness the Crown Prince, but now that he saw His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior, he felt quite strange.
"There are no academic records to teach you. There is only one person in the court who can teach His Highness the lessons."
"His Royal Highness is now serving as a prisoner, but because of the incident in the military camp?"
"That's it! Looking at the basic standards for guard selection set by His Highness, we can see that there are methods for training soldiers. The original Forbidden Army barracks... don't mention it."
Pang Ji also knew what it was like there, and was helpless.
“Where will the money and food for construction come from?”
As for Zhao Xi and Neiyuan, it was already known to the court's husband, but no one could open their mouths and speak into a child's private room.
When Pang Ji explained the reason, Wen Yanbo felt unable to speak.
"now……"
Looking at each other and smiling... just this kind of virtue. The princes always thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Neiyuan were being plotted by them again.
The money and food accumulated in the Neiyuan should be put to use. The imperial court is always short of money, but the Neiyuan is extremely rich.
That doesn’t make sense!
It really doesn't make sense. From Zhao Xi's instructions, everyone can see that his selection and training of troops are different from the old practice of the country. That is to say, when allocating military camps, the princes already knew that they would spend money and food to transform them.
I just ignored it and pretended not to understand even though I understood it.
Zhao Xi is not stupid, he understood the moment he saw the military camp... Isn't it just some money and food? I'll do it myself, and we'll talk about it after it's over.
