Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Some civil servants think, is there such a good thing?

If there are no more generals in the court, their civil servants can do whatever they want, and there will be no problem with whatever they do, which is definitely a good thing.

The general was also stunned. Why was His Highness's words today different from yesterday's words?

If the generals were completely abolished, what would they have left?

They all had to go back to their hometowns to farm, and could no longer go to the battlefield. They couldn't do anything, and they couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but Zhu Xuan told them not to talk, and he didn't dare to interrupt at this time.

"Your Highness, this is not allowed!"

Ru Chang came out first and objected: "How can there be no military generals in a country? Then who will protect the country?"

Although they are a little over the top and feel that generals are dispensable, they are not so arrogant as to think that generals can really be abolished.

Calm down and think carefully, you still have to object.

"This won't work, and that won't work."

Zhu Xuan tapped his hand gently on the armrest of the dragon chair and asked in a cold voice: "What do you want from me?"

Ru Chang insisted: "The Ming Dynasty really has no generals."

Zhu Xuan added: "Didn't you once say that without military generals, civilian officials can also protect the country? I have decided..."

At this point in his words, he deliberately paused for a moment, continued to scan them with his eyes, and continued: "Since you civil servants think that you can protect your family and country by yourself, it is actually very good to prove it. I will give the order later. , all scholars who want to obtain honors must go to the border areas or the army, serve for three years, and then come back to take the exam. The first batch of scholars starts from the Imperial College."

coax……

As soon as these words came out, all the officials standing in the court let out an exclamation.

What's the difference between asking scholars to serve in the border areas first and killing them? It is impossible for scholars to do this if they think they are noble and superior.

After hearing this, the generals laughed immediately, but they did not dare to laugh too obviously, thinking that His Highness did this to force the scholars to a dead end and then make them compromise.

For a moment, they felt extremely comfortable.

It depends on how those civil servants respond.

"Your Highness, no!"

Kong Gongjian knelt down and said.

All the civil servants who were standing also knelt down and begged not to do this.

After serving in the border areas for three years, what do they have left as scholars?

"Then tell me how to do this?"

"You are opposed to military generals. I cooperate with your opposition and withdraw military generals and let scholars defend their homes and countries. But you still say no."

"Defending our country is something you yourself proposed."

"I don't want to serve in the border areas, and I'm not allowed to set up a military academy to train officers and defend the Ming Dynasty."

"How about you take turns sitting in my seat?"

"This way, you can do whatever you want, say what you want, so as not to upset me."

At the end of Zhu Xuan's words, his voice became stern, very solemn, and even very rebellious.

The officials were so frightened that their bodies trembled.

"I dare not!"

All the officials spoke together and kowtowed together after the ceremony, which was quite neat.

"Either a military academy or a scholar serving in the military."

"Choose one for yourselves."

"If you don't want to choose, I will help you choose, but once you choose, don't regret it. If you must object, you can do whatever you want!"

"I think my court is very dirty. You can take off your official uniform and go home to farm, and I won't stop you. If you don't want to do it, there are many people who want to do it."

"I also know that after today, you will regard me as a coward, saying that I am going to be militaristic. Future history books will also describe me as a coward, and scholars all over the world will try to discredit me."

"Whatever you think, today I have to ask you to make a choice."

"What do you think? You guys express your opinion quickly, I have to make a decision."

Zhu Xuan didn't care about the so-called slander and the scribbling written about him in the history books of later generations. He just wanted to do something beneficial to Ming Dynasty.

He was very domineering and finished what he needed to say, and then glanced at them.

Today is the day to get an answer.

Whether they agree or not. The kneeling civil servant was sweating profusely and felt uncertain, thinking that Zhu Xuan's usual benevolence was just ordinary.

If he wants to be cruel and stubborn, he seems to be even more powerful than Lao Zhu.

Even Prince Jingyi is not as good as Zhu Xuan in this aspect.

"I choose the military academy."

It was Ru Chang who spoke first.

"Military academy."

"Military academy."

……

Someone took the lead, and the remaining civil servants said the word "military academy" sporadically, and had to agree with Zhu Xuan's approach.

"Military academy, this is what you said."

Zhu Xuan knew that they would give in. In front of the real imperial power, no matter how arrogant those civil servants were, they would eventually bow their heads.

"I will not be polite to anyone who dares to raise objections in the future."

"That's it, it's decided."

"You guys get up."

Zhu Xuan didn't care about their rebuttals, as long as he could get this result.

They only safeguard their own group interests, but this group interest sometimes damages Ming's interests.

Zhu Xuan is still thinking about dividing their group interests into several parts so that they cannot unite.

The civil servants were relieved and slowly got up. Even if they were unwilling to do so, at this point, they had no choice but to put their unwillingness aside.

The general was overjoyed, thinking that His Highness's move was really beautiful.

"If you have nothing else to do, please retreat!"

"Commander, stay here. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Zhu Xuan said again.

The civil servants left, but the generals stayed.

Zhu Xuan told them all the preparations for the military academy. For the time being, Lan Yu was in charge, and all the generals in the court would assist them to establish the first military academy in the Ming Dynasty. There was a long way to go.

However, they are also happy.

Because this is their group interest.

As for how later people would view him, and how unbearable those scholars described him, Zhu Xuan really didn't care at all.

Things like historical reputation are temporary and some people will discredit them, but in another dynasty, some people may praise them.

Unless he is a special loser, some people will always like to praise a king who has created special feats and will have fixed fans in the future. The best comparison is Yang Guang. Later, some people rave about it and some people rave about it.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged Wen Gui, picked up a rattle and shook it, making a loud sound. Wen Gui liked it very much and laughed happily.

Seeing his little great-grandson smiling like this, Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed, as if his mood was completely affected by Wen Gui, and his thoughts were all on his little great-grandson.

"His Majesty!"

Yunqi came in.

"Wen Gui, go play by yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put Wen Gui down and asked, "What did your good grandson do?"

Although he doesn't care about government affairs and won't go to court anymore, he still wants to know how Zhu Xuan responded today and what he did.

As long as the military academy is proposed, there will definitely be collective opposition from civilian officials. (End of chapter)
