The day for selecting soldiers for the East Palace Guards is getting closer and closer. During these days, apart from chatting with Master Pang, Zhao Xi spends time in the camp.
It's not that far anyway, just across an alley from the East Palace.
Not only him, but also three members of the Cao family, two members of the Gao family, Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian, all stayed in the camp.
They are not new, but after training, I really feel the benefits.
The teachings of the East Palace Guards were also determined through several battles and compromises.
The chief instructor was actually Lu Gong. Zhao Xi finally understood that the country had completely broken the relationship between rank, and rank really had little to do with official position.
For example, the chief guard of the East Palace, Zhao Xi, has changed his name, but he is essentially the same as Prince Zhan Shi, and should be at least the third grade.
Lu Gongzhu was originally the general magistrate of Xingyang, but the general magistrate of the state government can hold positions from the eighth to the fifth rank. This means that the highest rank of Lu Gongzhu is the fifth rank, but now he can hold the position equivalent to the third rank.
Just like in later generations, the second-in-command at the prefectural and municipal levels was suddenly promoted and became the first-in-command responsible for youth work in the country... This span is not ordinary.
Think again about the ministers who have been sent abroad in recent years, Fu Bi and Han Qi, not to mention, they are all in charge of the whole road, but Fan Zhongyan... he was transferred several times, all of which were governors. In other words, he went from the deputy position of the political affairs hall to directly serving as the top leader at the prefectural level. .
The fall is not that deep.
Needless to say, it’s too messy and confusing, and there’s no way to compare it with the system I’m most familiar with.
Then there are four teachings, and it seems that there are no big surprises. One is Han Zhen, and the other is Zhongyun, the prince... basically equivalent to Ping Tiao.
Zhao Xi thought this was another Wang Tao family, but later he learned about it and found out that it had nothing to do with Wang Su's Wang family.
There are two others named Su Song and one named Zhao Zhan, who seem to have no origins.
You probably understand that the so-called competition means competition for the position of chief instructor. Apart from this, other things are dispensable for scholars.
As for the Han family, they should follow the steps of His Highness the Crown Prince. It doesn’t matter, anyone can come, as long as they follow their own decisions, it will be the same for everyone.
Zhao Xi was not afraid of powerful people to begin with, not to mention that today he is the most powerful person. Therefore, he has to do what he says in his own territory.
Of course, this is not something you say by mouth, and you probably won’t be able to explain it even if you talk for a long time. Therefore, Zhao Xi is once again tired of writing documents.
Zhao Xi memorized the internal affairs orders and regulations by heart. After many years, they were even clearer in his mind. What he did was to change some vocabulary to make the sentences and rules more in line with the current situation.
When Zhao Xi finished all this, he realized that it was not an easy task...
At the same time, Zhao Xi also clarified the civil and military responsibilities of the East Palace Guards. In view of the current situation of the country, Zhao Xi still increased the weight of the civil service... It was originally the same for future generations.
But there is one point that Zhao Xi emphasized, that is, daily training and operations must be carried out by military generals, while civilians can only coordinate.
Modify some wording, change some expressions, at least make it so that others can't see how much the general's status has been improved.
For example, the instructor presides over all matters of the East Palace Guard except training and combat... For example, the instructor will handle the rewards and punishments of all members of the escort in accordance with regulations and other such rhetoric.
Anyway, in one sentence, the military commanders are only responsible for regular training and fighting in wartime, while all other affairs of the entire escort team are under the supervision of the military commanders and have nothing to do with the military commanders.
The most obvious change that Zhao Xi made in the entire regulations was to increase the salary of generals to almost the same level as that of teaching.
At the very least, the commander of the East Palace Guards... Zhao Xi really wanted to name him directly the leader.
The salary of this leader should not be lower than the salary of the unit teacher.
And the military officer titles of the entire escort team were formulated in detail... Compared with the complexity of changing the civil service system, the obstacles to changing the sequence of military attachés are much smaller.
To say that it is a change, it should be said that it is a copy, that is, the military system of later generations is directly transferred over.
The entire escort team is just a reinforced regiment, with five levels: squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment, all of which are very familiar.
Zhao Xi had done this and did not go to the court to show it off. He only announced it to a small range. This range was him and the five teachers.
Zhao Xi's purpose is very clear. First, as the future affairs officer of the Guards, he should first be familiar with the contents of the doctrine and regulations, as well as his responsibilities and duties.
Secondly, after all, the people who know the literati best are the literati. When these five people are dispatched as the escort to teach, their future should be integrated with His Highness the Crown Prince and even the entire teaching team. Therefore, Zhao Xi wants everyone to say something about themselves.
Let’s see if this eloquent content of hundreds of thousands is suitable for the present time and whether it can be passed in the court.
Some contents cannot be understood thoroughly in a short time. Zhao Xi understood, so each of the five people copied a copy, and Zhao Xi agreed to take them out to familiarize themselves.
It is impossible for me to just accompany everyone until they are familiar with the content.
It should have been a natural thing, but it was messed up.
"Xi'er, this morning at court, a minister reported that the East Palace Guards had turned things upside down, violated the laws of our ancestors, and arbitrarily changed the purpose of the civil servants of the country to preside over the war."
Zhao Zhen was very worried. Throughout the dynasties, princes have been the target of impeachment, and impeaching princes is also a shortcut for civil officials to quickly become famous. There is no way, it has been like this since ancient times, and no one can change it.
But Xi'er... He was impeached just after he was appointed crown prince. It's still such a big hat. How can the laws of our ancestors be allowed to be changed at will by future generations?
"Dad, I don't know what happened to the child. The matter of guarding the East Palace is all decided by the court, so how can you turn things upside down without authorization?"
Hearing what his father said, Zhao Xi was also stunned. Reducing the staff and setting up civil and assistant officers in the sixth rate should not be considered contrary to the laws of the ancestors?
I was careful enough, but I still got bitten.
"No, today's memorial is for your duty as a guard of the East Palace..."
What? How is this possible? Yesterday, I made it clear that all the clauses were drafts. The reason why they were sent to the various teachings was actually to adopt opinions and gather the collective strengths for further discussion. Why did it end up in the court?
"Dad, apart from your duties, can you have any objections to the rules and regulations?"
"None! I only have objections to the terms of my responsibilities!"
"Who played it?"
"Zhao Zhan, Zhao Liming!"
There are really shameless people who don’t care about their lives to become famous! Okay! Very good! Don’t you just want to become famous? I want you to become famous, become famous!
"Dad, from now on, Zhao Zhan and Zhao Liming will be removed from the East Palace Guards, and they will not be involved in any future affairs with the East Palace."
"At the same time, Ha'er suggested that this person should flee to the border states, or even strip him of his title and never be employed again!"
People should be self-motivated and understand the practice of working hard, and even being sanctimonious and dressing up like animals in order to gain fame. To a certain extent, it is all worth understanding.
There is only one thing that Zhao Xi thinks is unforgivable, and that is: betrayal!
