I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 254

What the people in the capital are most concerned about now must be the results of the test results released on the 25th.

Even the news of the emperor's trip to inspect the capital camp the day before yesterday did not suppress everyone's enthusiasm. In their opinion, it was just that the current emperor liked military affairs, and there was nothing novel about it.

It's just that although the people are not interested, the civil servants are very worried about it.

Especially after hearing the emperor's speech in the capital camp, all the noble disciples had the courage to apply for the Military Academy, and they would all have the opportunity to serve in it in the future.Combined with the fact that the emperor asked British Duke Zhang Weixian to join the Military Aircraft Department, many smart people smelled something different.

The next day in Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Yishen really felt a headache when he looked at the piles of papers to persuade the emperor.

Shen Guan, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, and Zhu Guozhen on the side did not say much when they saw this. Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozhen came to the cabinet for the first time today. Their task today is to familiarize themselves with government affairs, so they did not say anything when they saw this.However, Shen Guan and Ye Xianggao did not want to speak. They wanted to leave this problem to Liu Yishui based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.

"Let's talk, gentlemen. There are so many memorials and remonstrances. Should we just leave them like this?"

Liu Yishen was annoyed when he saw that several people were silent, so he had to ask first.

Shen Guan, Ye Xianggao, and Zhu Youxiao had been dealing with each other for such a long time, so they naturally knew the emperor's temper, so they sat quietly on the Diaoyutai and said little, saying that silence is golden.

Looking at the two people sitting like paraffin, Liu Yishen was speechless, but he couldn't criticize anything, so he turned his attention to Sun Chengzong who was immersed in his own work in the distance.

"Zhisheng (Sun Chengzong's name), you are His Majesty's teacher. Now His Majesty has been obsessed with military matters. Is it time for you to persuade him?"

Sun Chengzong then pretended to wake up in shock. Hearing this, he also looked at the pile of question books, breathed out secretly, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Everyone knows that His Majesty is obsessed with martial arts, but I don't know how to persuade him. It is a routine to inspect the capital camp, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is also a convention for your honor to serve in the capital camp. Everything is in line with the system.

Besides, His Majesty once again rectified the Beijing camp, changed the bad habits of laziness and empty pay in the Beijing camp, fundamentally changed the combat strength and atmosphere of the Beijing camp, and solved the problems that the cabinet has wanted to solve many times. I really don’t think so. Know how to exhort. "

As Zhu Youxiao's teacher, Sun Chengzong naturally knew Zhu Youxiao's ambitions.Moreover, everything Zhu Youxiao has done since he came to the throne has been in line with his wishes. He reversed the decline in Liaodong, cleaned up the capital camp, rectified party strife, cracked down on rhetorical officials, re-employed practical officials, implemented measures such as farming, equalizing land and service, etc., and many unsatisfactory measures. This is what Donglin has always wanted to do.

Besides, Xungui is in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is the imperial system to be in charge of the capital camp. He cannot use this to admonish the emperor.Is it necessary to make trouble out of nothing and suggest that the emperor should not leave the palace all the time, that it is too unsafe and dangerous outside the palace, and other innocuous remarks?
Liu Yishui was helpless when he saw Sun Chengzong saying this. How could he not know that when the emperor did this, civil servants could not intervene and could only passively accept it.

This made him feel very helpless. He felt that the emperor was really different from other people. He did not have all kinds of shortcomings like Wuzong, Shizong, and Shenzong. Therefore, officials and even historians could unscrupulously advise, but these emperors had nothing to say. .

But now the young emperor in the palace is different. He doesn't like to play, he abides by the system, and he is also good at accepting advice. He is even a bit unusual and has nowhere to say anything!
If I have to talk about a shortcoming that a civil servant thinks, it is that he likes martial arts and weapons, but these things have brought benefits to the court. He likes weapons. The Krupp Cannon he developed greatly destroyed the Jianlu and reversed the situation in Liaodong; he likes martial arts, but Reform the Beijing Camp and change the current situation of the Beijing Camp that has been weak for hundreds of years.

Compared with these achievements, this shortcoming is really nothing. Such an upright act also made the courtiers present speechless.

But precisely because of this, Liu Yishen increasingly felt that the emperor was unfathomable. He felt that he was extremely accurate in judging people and often went straight to the point when doing things, making it difficult for him to understand and control.The more this happened, the more troubled Liu Yishen became. His instinct as an official told him that the emperor's repeated visits to the capital camp were deliberately raising the status of nobles to check and balance the civil servants.

He can understand such a simple and obvious intention, so he doesn't believe that other people in the cabinet are dissatisfied?But looking at the cabinet members present, none of them wanted to deal with this matter or dared not deal with it.

This made him gradually realize that the emperor's prestige was already so high, and he was still only 17 years old.

Seeing Sun Chengzong's speech, Ye Xianggao struck up a conversation.

"What Zhisheng said is right. It is a routine to inspect the capital camp. There is no need for the officials to panic. Besides, His Majesty's plan to build a military academy and the cabinet is approved by vote. So it doesn't matter. I just don't reply to these questions. There is no need. Pay attention."

"What Mr. Ye Ge said is true. Now that Liaodong and Southwest are deploying troops, Liao Zuo came to report that Lin Dan Khan had made changes, so the importance of the Beijing camp is not unimportant. In this case, it is normal for the emperor to inspect. These questions should not be ignored at all. , we just have to do the tasks assigned by His Majesty well."

Shen Guan, who was on the side, also supported after hearing this. He was in charge of the military aircraft department, which was closest to the emperor. He knew all kinds of important military aircraft matters best. He knew that there were many places where troops were used recently and in the future. The strong combat power of the Beijing camp was a good thing for the court. Why not?

Seeing that Sun Chengzong and the other two people said this, Liu Yishen exhaled helplessly and frowned, then agreed with this point of view, just pretend he didn't see it if he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Shen Ge is right. Since your Majesty's actions are beneficial to the country, the cabinet naturally approves. Your Majesty is so dedicated to national affairs, so our cabinet must do our best to do the things your Majesty has asked."

"Mr. Ye Ge and Mr. Sun Ge, your majesty has previously given instructions to implement equalization of land and labor in Gyeonggi. It has been more than three months now. I don't know how we are doing now."

Although Sun Chengzong was responsible for this matter, the emperor ordered Ye Xianggao to be responsible for it, so Liu Yishen did not ask too many questions.But now that the emperor has promoted Sun Chengzong and Zhu Guozhen, who support equalization of land and equalization of labor, into the cabinet, this intention is obvious.In the coming period, promoting equalization of land and service will be one of the cabinet's main tasks.

The two of them had been prepared for a long time. They looked at each other as if they knew what was said, and Sun Chengzong slowly stood up and bowed to report.

"Currently, land equalization is only carried out in Jizhou and Yongping Prefecture in Gyeonggi Province. Fortunately, Jizhou is an important border defense area with many guard posts and few gentry families, so it is easier to count the land owned by gentry in prefectures and counties.

Yongping Prefecture is different. This place is close to western Liaoning and Mongolia. It is an important border defense area in the capital. Not only are there many guard posts, but there are also many prefectures and counties below, so there are also many local wealthy gentry.

In the past three months, I asked the officials of Yongping Prefecture to count twice, but each time the amounts were not equal. Even if His Majesty was angry last time and dismissed the Yongping Prefecture, the number of handymen and the number of fields in the second count were still the same. sorry.

So this time I want the Ministry of Household Affairs to send people directly to Yongping Mansion to investigate and find out who is doing it in a secret way and not taking the court seriously! "
