"This move by the officials is not the work of the Holy King..."

Wang Zeng’s righteous advice.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Wang Zeng, "Are you talking about the ten-year period set by me, or are you talking about allowing the families of military officers and soldiers to move to the border?"

Zhao Zhen made it clear that he was pretending to be confused.

Wang Zeng's face turned dark and he said, "What I'm talking about is that the official threatened to become a robber."

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "Have I not gone yet? Besides, today is a political discussion. If you feel that my proposal is inappropriate, you can discuss it with others.

If you had a better way to solve the problem of wives for the soldiers after they return home, I wouldn't have to go out and be a robber."

After Zhao Zhen's reminder, Wang Zeng realized that he was discussing matters now, not making decisions.

Wang Zeng remained silent for a moment.

Zhao Zhen stared at everyone and said: "What Kou Aiqing said is the military system that I, Kou Aiqing, and several other ministers from the Privy Council discussed together. Please help me read it carefully and see if there is anything wrong with it.

"

When Lu Yijian and others heard what Zhao Zhen said, they all looked at each other. After a long silence, Zhong Shiheng spoke out what was in everyone's heart.

"Officials, could you ask Privy Councilor Kou to say it again..."

Zhong Shiheng cupped his hands and said slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Zhen was laughing in his heart, but his face remained calm. He looked at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Aiqing..."

Kou Ji stared at Lu Yijian and others and said meaningfully: "I asked you to take out your pen and take notes a long time ago..."

After Kou Ji's words fell, Zhao Zhen said nonchalantly from the side: "I believe that in the future, when discussing matters in the court, all civil and military officials in the court should carry pens. There are so many major matters discussed in the court every day, and we only have to rely on our respective

I'm afraid I can't remember everything in my head.

It should be noted that what we discuss every day are all state affairs, which involve the livelihood of millions of people in our Song Dynasty, and we cannot neglect them at all."

When Lu Yijian and others heard this, their faces remained calm, but they were cursing in their hearts.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji are really bad at heart, and they will look bad if they get the chance.

Not a son of man.

Not a son of man.

Lu Yijian was scolding his mother in his heart, but said: "This is a great kindness for the officials, but if the civil servants of the dynasty are allowed to bring paper and pens into the palace, the palace must be equipped with tables and chairs, which is not very elegant. It is better to set up a document in the palace to copy the ministers' records.

The words and deeds of others will be handed over to the assistant officials for copying and distributed to the civil and military officials who participate in the discussion of politics.

What do the officials think?"

The suggestions put forward by Zhao Zhen are indeed good governance.

Especially for these elderly ministers, it is definitely a first-class good governance.

As they get older, their memory is naturally not as good as that of young people. When they participate in political discussions, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty express their opinions. After a large court meeting, there may be hundreds or even thousands of various suggestions. It is impossible for them to remember them all.

Live, there will always be some omissions.

However, most of the people who can sneak into Chui Gong Hall and Zishi Hall to participate in government affairs are elderly ministers.

Kou Ji was the only one in the entire Song Dynasty who was promoted to the top of the military ministers at such a young age.

When the princes left the cabinet, they were granted the title of Privy Councilor, Tongping Zhangshi and the like.

Those are just promotions, they only get salary and do nothing.

But Kou Ji has a real job.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's proposal was of great benefit to the court.

Lu Yijian did not object, but gave reasonable suggestions.

After listening to Lu Yijian's words, Wang Zeng nodded in agreement and said: "This is a great kindness..."

Seeing that Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng attached so much importance to this matter, Zhao Zhen's face straightened a bit. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Then let's have two people."

As soon as Zhao Zhen said these words.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng nodded together in agreement.

There is a big difference between establishing one person and establishing two people.

Once a person makes a mistake, it will be difficult to make up for it.

Two people can complement each other and avoid mistakes.

In addition, two people can also supervise each other to prevent the other party from bringing in private information when recording the words and deeds of officials.

"Today we are mainly talking about military affairs. Let's talk about military affairs first, and we will talk about other things later."

After Zhao Zhen confirmed the establishment of a record officer, he continued to speak.

Lu Yijian and others looked at Kou Ji together.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "The official family, I, and the officials of the Privy Council, after discussing the military system, have made records and made several copies."

Lu Yijian and others glared at Kou Ji complainingly.

Kou Ji ordered Chen Lin to deliver the military documents prepared in advance to Lu Yijian and others.

Lu Yijian and others picked up the documents and read them carefully.

Now that Kou Ji has proposed a relatively complete military system and has received Zhao Zhen's approval, there is no need for them to continue to make plans. They only need to find out and fill in the gaps based on the military system proposed by Kou Ji.

.

Lu Yijian was more concerned about the issue of supervising the army, so after reading the document, he took the lead and said: "The Ministry of War is under the control of the inner court, so will the supervising army sent by the Ministry of War also be under the control of the inner court?"

"In non-war times, the supervisory troops in the army are under the control of the Ministry of War. Whether it is the Privy Council or the inner court, if the supervisory troops are to be used, they must go through the Ministry of War. In wartime, no matter who they are, whether they are in the army or not, they are dispatched by the Privy Council."

Kou Ji gave his own answer.

Lu Yijian frowned slightly and said: "Wu Jinshi serves as the supervisor of the army, but who serves as the general of the army?"

It stands to reason that those who pass the martial arts examination are preparatory generals.

Although the martial arts department has been in disuse for many years and has existed in name only, the martial arts department has always existed.

After Zhao Zhen revitalizes Wu Ke, Wu Ke should be able to recover a lot.

Nowadays, most of the imperial relatives and military honors have been eliminated.

In the future, the successor of Lieutenant General should be Wu Jinshi.

From what Kou Ji said, it seemed that he did not intend to appoint Wu Jinshi as a general.

Lu Yijian does know a little bit about why Kou Ji appointed Wu Jinshi as the supervisor.

It is nothing more than retaining the military supervisory system and doing our best to prevent people who are ignorant of military affairs from serving as military supervisors.

Faced with Lu Yijian's question, Kou Ji said categorically: "The lieutenant generals in the army are naturally served by meritorious officers in the army. The military supervisors appointed by Wu Jinshi must not be confused with the generals in the army, otherwise the system of military supervision will be in vain.

However, it is not impossible for Wu Jinshi to serve as a lieutenant general in the army.

If Wu Jinshi has established merit while serving as a supervisor in the army and wants to stay in the army, he can transfer his general status from the Ministry of War to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council will appoint him based on his merits.

But once Wu Jinshi serves as a general in the army, he can no longer serve as a supervisor of the army."

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Lu Yijian nodded thoughtfully.

After Lu Yijian finished questioning him, Cao Wei said to Kou Ji: "From now on, the Privy Council will only control the imperial army and will not care about local troops. Local troops and horses will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but will be controlled by the local government. Will this cause chaos?"

Kou Ji explained: "There will be no chaos. Yamen at all levels have soldiers and officers in charge. They are responsible for the dispatch of local soldiers and horses. If there is something difficult for the local Yamen to decide, they can go one level at a time."

Level reporting.

If the yamen at all levels cannot handle the matter, they can report it to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War can bring this matter to court for discussion.

During non-war times, the Privy Council is only responsible for the promotion and scheduling of the Forbidden Army.

In times of war, the Privy Council is responsible for the deployment of all troops and horses in the world."

When Cao Wei heard this, he was slightly stunned, tasted the product carefully, and said nothing more.

Cao Wei roughly understood the profound meaning of this move.

After the restructuring, the imperial court apparently had only 710,000 capable soldiers and horses.

But if there is really going to be a war, you can quickly pull out a large number of soldiers and horses with just one lift.

What's more important is that all the soldiers and horses capable of fighting are placed at the border. If the enemy really invades, there is no need to mobilize the troops and horses.

If there are not enough soldiers and horses at the border, local soldiers and horses can quickly gather together and rush to help.

It saves a lot of marching distance in the middle.

This move can be said to have greatly saved marching time.

The only disadvantage is that if local soldiers and horses stay in place for a long time, they will lose the ability to fight evil wars over time.

However, considering Zhao Zhen's decree to retire in ten years and the decree that the border troops would be replenished into local troops after their retirement, Cao Wei did not care about the matter anymore.
