King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 519: The civil officials finish their singing and the military generals appear

In the field.

Seeing everyone so understanding.

Zhu Gaochi naturally didn't know what to say. He nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Since your words are meaningless, then the Ministry of Revenue will prepare all the condolences for the victorious soldiers, and then notify us. We will distribute them one by one to the victorious soldiers and express our condolences to them!"

"I think you have no objection to this decision, right?"

After hearing this, all the ministers present finally reacted at this moment.

I have more or less understood the prince's thoughts and have different ideas.

It's such a simple thing that it can be done directly by the people below.

But the prince took the initiative to stop this matter and forced it on himself.

This action seems to be without any problem, but if you think about it carefully.

The deep meaning contained here is a little too intriguing.

Although now, the entire court is governed by Prince Han.

But it does not mean that the prince has nothing to do. In fact, in a sense, many things require the prince to come forward and coordinate, and the decrees decided by the King of Han can be truly implemented.

to this end.

In fact, don’t be fooled by the surface. The entire Ming Dynasty court is presided over by the King of Han.

But without the Crown Prince's coordination, things would certainly not be as simple as they are now.

After all, for the Ming Dynasty court, civil officials belonged to the jurisdiction of the crown prince, and most of the military generals sold face to the King of Han. This was the consensus of the entire Ming Dynasty court.

As for governing the huge Ming Dynasty court, it was the civil officials who played a decisive role in governing the country more often.

Military generals are more often involved in external wars or peacetime armament training.

When it comes to the governance of the country at court, military generals have almost no room or opportunity to intervene.

But compared with the army, the prince or the civil officials still had no time or opportunity to intervene.

And now, the prince actually proposed to express condolences to the soldiers who won the battle, and he will be in charge of everything in the future.

How could all the civil and military officials in the court not be surprised?

Especially for the military commanders, they couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and said:
"This is……"

"My Lord, are you ready to extend your hand into the military camp?"

Tolerable or unbearable.

How could they accept such a thing?
Even though the civil officials had nothing to say, it was because they all knew that this matter had no impact on them or the overall interests of the civil officials.

However, for military generals, the impact of such an action is quite intriguing.

Because among those who can stand here and be in this position, none of them are fools, and none of them are not the smartest and best here!

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lived to this day.

to this end.

The civil officials did not object, but the military generals had strong opinions.

Therefore, when Zhu Gaochi said this, the generals who had been watching the show could no longer sit still. They stood up one by one and refuted:
"Your Highness, you are so kind-hearted."

"I feel honored and extremely pleased."

“But His Royal Highness also knows that we don’t care about the generals or the soldiers below.”

"They are all illiterate bastards."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is a man of both literary and military skills, yet he is mixing with a bunch of stinky soldiers like us."

"I'm afraid this matter will get out. It might damage the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"to this end."

"There's no need to waste His Royal Highness's time just distributing so-called comfort items to the victorious soldiers."

"We, the generals, can do the job completely for you."

"It will also save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more time to govern the court and the country."

"There's absolutely no need to waste your time on us stinking warriors."

"His Royal Highness..."

"My Lords, don't you agree?"

As they spoke, the ministers in the room paused, as if they had thought of something. Their expressions suddenly changed, and their words became more serious. They continued:

"certainly……"

"If His Royal Highness is worried that we will enrich ourselves in this matter."

"In this matter, we can also send officials from the Ministry of Revenue to supervise and control the distribution of gifts to the victorious soldiers, and then all distribution issues should be recorded in the register."

"It can be submitted to the court for review and verification. Of course, the Royal Guards are also welcome to investigate to see if any of our generals have embezzled money."

"If there is any such situation of embezzlement, there is no need for Your Highness the Crown Prince and the other court officials to say anything. As long as we know about it, we will definitely report it to the court and will not tolerate it in the slightest. Please rest assured, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

For these military generals in the court, what is their real capital for living a peaceful and stable life?
Aren’t they just those officers and soldiers who are willing to risk their lives for the court?
Now the prince actually wants to reach out to the military camp and actually meet with the soldiers in the barracks. They can never bear such a thing.

Why?

Although their military generals are not as scheming and sophisticated as the civil officials, it does not mean that they are all fools.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made things sound so light-hearted when it came to the gifts of comfort here.

In other words, he criticized all the civil officials at once, and even put all the civil officials present in an extremely unfavorable position.

But these people are not fools.

It is disadvantageous to the civil officials, but it has absolutely no impact on them and does not cause any harm.

But for the military generals, the situation is completely different.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move is truly an attempt to get among the soldiers below and become one with them. In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that the Crown Prince's move is to touch the capital of these military generals' livelihoods.

Once they really allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do this, then in the long run, he will only need to come a few times a year.

Over time, the soldiers in the entire military camp will definitely be very familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's small favors will surely gradually gain popularity. Driven by such interests, God knows what the soldiers below will think about this matter and what they will think.

Such a thing is naturally not the result that these generals want to see.

Once the officers and soldiers below truly remember the kindness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and truly believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good to them, it is really uncertain whether the subsequent officers and soldiers will still listen to their leaders on certain matters.

This is also true.

The generals on the field would be so sensitive and would oppose so passionately.

Because for the generals on the field, this really touched upon their fundamental interests, and they had absolutely no way to accept it.

To put it bluntly, if they agreed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's proposal, it would be very likely that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would sideline all of them in the future as long as he handled it properly.

Once these individuals are sidelined, if the officers and soldiers under their command truly care about the benefits of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and do not obey their orders, or even pretend to obey their orders but actually disobey them, God knows what will happen.

Just what's happening right now.

As long as one is normal and has no problems in his brain, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to it.

As for what these generals said, they were working on behalf of the Crown Prince and they were the ones distributing the relief items planned by the court.

As the saying goes: The word "official" has two mouths.

There are too many possibilities for this statement.

This is something that has never happened before. When the officials from the Ministry of Revenue who are in charge of the distribution are present, they can have one excuse, but when those officials are not around, they will have another excuse.

No matter what they want to say, it is still up to them.

As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not get involved in this matter, everything may be fabricated by these individuals in private.

Those soldiers who received benefits would certainly record and praise the benefits given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the surface, as long as they said it properly. However, the people who were truly grateful from the bottom of their hearts could not be the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, but must be the generals who had been in the army for many years.

This is the result that these generals really want to see.

Otherwise, these generals would rather not have such benefits and comfort items.

Having such comfort items would be disadvantageous to these people, but not having such comfort items would be extremely beneficial.

Of course, the most important point is that these generals do not think highly of these gifts of comfort. They do not bring any real benefits to them, but the disadvantages are obvious.

to this end.

These military generals and their meritorious service would really rather not have these benefits from the bottom of their hearts. It would be better if they didn't have to work so hard and make wedding dresses for others. It would be a waste of both time and effort.

Dele.

After hearing this.

This completely confused the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, who stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer the question.

to be frank.

As for the current situation, he never expected that the result would be like this.

It doesn’t matter if the civil officials objected before.

After all, the opposition of the civil officials involved money. They were worried that he would waste money. When the treasury was full, he would spend money lavishly without any restraint. They were worried that the treasury, which had been filled with great difficulty, would be emptied by his actions.

However, Zhu Gaochi had never dreamed that the military generals would oppose this issue, and it also gave him a huge headache. Wasn't this just him trying to gain benefits for the military generals' merits?
According to normal logic, shouldn't a military general be happier than anyone else for his achievements?
How could anyone speak out against him?

If we oppose it in this way, what benefit will there be for the merits of these military generals?
In other words, could it be that the actions of this prince have touched upon the interests of these meritorious military generals?
He wanted to distribute comfort items and benefits to those Ming soldiers who won the battles. Is it so difficult to reward and comfort those soldiers?
The civil officials opposed it in the past, and the military generals opposed it in the future.

The objections and refutations one after another are so nonsensical and so elusive that one doesn't know what to think. It makes people feel completely confused, like a monk who is completely at a loss.

After all, the meritorious military commanders on the field have already spoken to this extent.

The Ministry of Revenue can be asked to supervise, or even the Embroidered Uniform Guard can be sent to supervise.

From this we can see that the merits of these military generals were definitely not gained for the petty profits of these so-called comfort items.

In other words, he never had any thoughts about these gifts at all.

But if it’s not for comfort items, this tiny profit, then what is it for?
This is the situation.

It can be said that Zhu Gaochi really wanted to curse.

Just like that, after a long while, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses from his daze, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, staring straight at the generals and meritorious officers who were kneeling on the ground and opposing and refuting the proposal, and said in a deep voice:

"What do you mean?"

"What?"

"If we distribute it among the army, will it offend you guys?"

"how"

"In the entire Ming army camp, are you the only ones allowed to distribute them? Or are you the only ones allowed to do it? As the crown prince, the heir to the Ming court, am I not allowed to distribute them?"

"Stinking knight?"

"What is a stinky soldier?"

"When have we ever treated you, who have fought so hard for the Ming Dynasty and the country, as stinking soldiers?"

"When have we ever looked down on you?"

"Why, do you think we look down on you?"

"Or do you think that the souvenirs we are talking about and the souvenirs we want to distribute are meant to look down on you and to disgust you on purpose?"

"If that's the case, honestly speaking"

"No matter the merits of these military commanders, or the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our court, you are really overthinking it and judging others by your own standards."

"It also makes us extremely disappointed in you."

"I thought you were all genuine, but I never thought you would have such opinions. It really makes me angry."

While speaking, one could clearly see the prince's chest heaving up and down, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

For such a big pot, the military generals naturally dare not take the responsibility, and they really can't take it! !
"Your Highness, please forgive me."

"We really don't have such an idea. Please understand, Your Highness the Crown Prince." (End of this chapter)
