eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 134 Change Starts Here

After several ministers came out of the East Palace, they had different thoughts,

A person with a certain moral standard like Han Wen felt a little excited about the request made by the prince today. He didn't want to say too much, and he saluted and bid farewell to his colleagues: "The Ministry of Households is where the world's money and food are. The department has acted as an agent."

Liu Jian also has a task, "Okay. When Wang Weining arrives in Beijing, I will tell you to come to the cabinet. We should give His Highness an explanation for the whole army."

"Yes, as it should be."

Tu Yu rolled his eyes. He was originally in a happy and relaxed mood.

After all, he was close to the prince when Wang Yue was appointed as the chief executive of the three sides earlier.Later, he was not included in Zuo Shun's Change.It stands to reason that His Royal Highness should recognize him as one of his own.

I didn't expect that the affairs of the official department would be indispensable in the future.

His Royal Highness mentioned Jingcha twice, although they were mentioned as "examples", but only a fool would think that it was just an example.

I don't even think about why the leader always mentions this as an example?Definitely this one is going to get attention.

And His Highness the Prince's determination has already been expressed: as long as I pay attention to you, I will stare at you to death.

In case something scandalous happened inside, would he, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, be scolded less?

The best way is to tell His Highness not to pay attention to the affairs here.

"I'm back in the ministry too!"

Tu Yu was in a hurry, first of all he had to figure out what happened in Jingcha.

After him, Minister of Industry Zeng Jian and Minister of Rites Fu Han also all walked through the palace gates and returned to their respective yamen.

Liu Jian and Xie Qian felt relieved when they saw it.

"It seems that everyone's hard days are coming." Xie Qian said with a big mouth, and he was quite happy when he said it.

"In all dynasties, the most afraid of treacherous officials and mediocre lords, Yu Qiao, the opportunity is rare, so don't talk about suffering at this time."

Xie Qian thought to himself, forget it, Li Dongyang is not here, he can't make fun of this upright leader, "What Liu Ge said is, I'm just saying something funny, it can't be true."

"You are also in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Why don't you hurry back and see what is important for the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"Yes, yes, I will take my leave."

At this time, I am not afraid of anything, but I am most afraid of making mistakes.

People say that the new official takes office three fires. Although the prince is not a new official, it is still the beginning of the supervision of the country, so don't get caught in this bad luck.

That was a master who killed people.

Speaking of it, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling are going to be miserable.

……

……

After three days,
Wang Yue, who had been traveling all the way, finally entered Beijing, accompanied by Yang Shangyi, the commander of the Guangning Guard who he recommended to the prince that day, and of course he is now the commander of the Gansu Guard.

Wang Yue was much weaker than a year ago, he could not ride a horse anymore, he could only ride in a carriage. He used to have some black hair on his head, but after a year of hard work, it was completely white.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Tianrui hurriedly brought the two doctors Hu Mi and Tan Yunxian from the academy, as well as the imperial physician from the imperial hospital.

This is the order of the East Palace: after Wang Yue entered Beijing, he should be diagnosed and treated before entering the palace.

This is an attitude that the prince wants to show, and the general who has made meritorious service to the country must be treated well.

At the same time, it is also a 'prescription', because Wang Yue is a bit vain, so he takes this set, and he feels at ease with this will.If he is comfortable, he can live a few more months.Minister of the Ministry of War can be a few more months.

So Zhang Tianrui was afraid that Wang Yue's chariot and horses would run straight to the palace gate, so he stopped him halfway.

When he explained the purpose of his visit, Wang Yue was really useful, and there were Yang Shangyi and other military officers present, which was enough to save face, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

"These two are doctors from the Medical Palace, Dr. Hu and Dr. Tan. Besides, there is Imperial Physician Li from the Imperial Hospital, who was also sent by His Highness to treat the general."

Others are fine.

Tan Yunxian saluted politely, but it was a woman.

"This……"

Zhang Tianrui knew what Wang Yue meant.

Tan Yunxian remained expressionless, stared ahead, and said nothing, she had to get used to it.

"Don't be impatient, general. After the two doctors have consulted the general, I will introduce the academy to you. Since the general's expedition to the country in the spring of the 11th year of Hongzhi, there have been many changes in the capital this year. One of them is this Academy."

The signboard of the academy, with black characters on a white background, is well written, but there are not a few people in the imperial court who can write well.

Wang Yue couldn't see any mystery, so naturally he didn't know where the change came from.

"Then there is Lao Zhang Yude, and there are also doctors."

Doctor Li, Hu Mi and Tan Yunxian nodded slightly.

These doctors are also very busy on weekdays, but Wang Yue is a person in his 70s who is still on the battlefield. Even if he has some problems with his reputation, a respect in his heart is indispensable.

In the inner hall of the academy, Yang Shangyi helped Wang Yue to sit down,

Doctor Li, Hu Mi, and Tan Yunxian made a diagnosis separately, and discussed together, Wang Yue coughed a little, probably because the wind and sand in the northwest was too strong, and his lungs were not very good.

"...Doctor Hu, Doctor Tan, how about we leave like this?"

"Of course I listened to Doctor Li."

Zhang Tianrui kept quiet all the time. After the diagnosis and treatment were over, he began to say: "The academy was built at the request of His Highness. At first, he felt that the common people had nowhere to seek medical treatment when they were sick, so he thought of gathering children from poor families to teach them medical principles." , to teach him medical skills. For this reason, the lower officials called Dr. Hu, and later Dr. Hu wanted to accept a female apprentice, which violated the rules of etiquette. So I went to find His Highness."

"Your Highness said that female apprentices should be taught by female masters, and men and women should be separated. Naturally, there is no problem. So Tan Yunxian was invited to call Dr. Tan. Dr. Tan came from a medical family and was a scholarly family. He practiced medicine with his grandfather and father since he was a child. It’s just a woman with an inconvenient status. In fact, it was quite distressing to practice medicine. When we found her, we explained our purpose, and the doctor was very happy, and then came to the capital. Right now, the academy has found a place to open a women’s hospital in the capital. The medical center. From now on, it will be much more convenient for the female relatives of the nobles in Beijing."

Hu Mi stared at the side.

He is notorious for his stubborn temper, "President Zhang, His Highness' original intention is to find a way out for the common people."

Zhang Tianrui was a little embarrassed, of course I knew, didn't I say this to Wang Yue? !

Fortunately, Tan Yunxian is an intellectual and virtuous woman, "In the eyes of doctors, there are only patients, no matter ordinary people or nobles, as long as they are sick, they are just patients."

Wang Yue also had a generous personality, and laughed out loud seeing them arguing like this, "That's a good idea. Your Highness is really a strange person."

"More than that." Zhang Tianrui has another purpose, "A few months ago, His Highness added a military academy to the academy. General, your "Northwest War Records" is one of the important textbooks. I have been looking forward to you for a long time. gone."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shangyi and the warriors behind him were startled.
"So the Military Academy is here?"

Zhang Tianrui probably understood their reaction, "It seems that these are the young generals named by His Highness. Yes, the decree has been issued. His Highness requires the Military Academy to recruit potential young generals from each army in batches every year in a planned way." Lectures by officials, or in the words of His Highness...to advance, oh yes, to study!"

This is something new again.

"Who will be the lecturer?" Wang Yue asked with concern.

""Northwest War Records" was written by you, so it is naturally you who wrote it."

Wang Yue was proud of himself, but he still said modestly: "In ancient times, there are countless masters of the art of war. How can it be my turn to write a book?"

Zhang Tianrui also listened to the prince's speech, "I don't know what the general is. A few days ago, His Royal Highness has been entrusted with the imperial decree to supervise the country. At the beginning of supervising the country, His Highness said a word called being pragmatic. If this is the case, the imperial court's frontier defense must also Pragmatic. So where is the biggest frontier problem for the imperial court now? The north! Who is the enemy? That's the most important thing."

Wang Yue nodded after hearing this, "I knew earlier that His Highness is extremely talented and has the legacy of Taizu. Now it seems that the talent of the prince is still beyond our expectations. With this military academy, my Ming Dynasty can continue to grow." Cultivate generals who are familiar with the Tatars, even one or two generals will be born, Shoucheng (Yang Shangyi's word), this opportunity, you must seize it."

"Yes! The last general will definitely live up to the kindness of the general and His Highness!" Yang Shangyi was already excited.

In fact, there is another section, and everyone knows it well.

Who can enter this military academy run by His Highness himself?

Wouldn't those who have graduated from advanced studies be reused?

The answer and the opportunity behind it are self-evident.

The status of military officers in Ming Dynasty was always lower than that of civil officials, and they had to be controlled by civil officials when they led troops to fight. If they didn't have a backer in the palace, the officialdom was actually far more dangerous than the battlefield.

This is what Wang Yue often said to them.

Wang Yue was born as a Jinshi, is there something he doesn't understand?Didn't he know that people like Wang Zhi and Li Guang were eunuchs with a bad reputation?But what can you do as a frontier soldier?

Zhang Tianrui said with a smile: "These few always stay by the general's side, so they must be telling the truth. But the court still has generals selected from him, and those people will really bother General Wang."

"Since it is His Royal Highness's order, how can you not obey it as a courtier? Zhang Yude, how many people are there in total?"

"Not many, after several months of careful selection, only 30 people." Zhang Tianrui made a 'three' gesture.

This number is indeed not many,
There were so many guard officers in the Ming Dynasty, but there were only these 30 in the end.

But it is also because it is rare that it is precious.

Yang Shangyi clenched his fists tightly. He was able to go to Wang Yue's side because of his grandfather's recommendation, so he had the opportunity of the Battle of Helan Mountain. He fought with his life and made military achievements, so he was able to go to this somewhat peculiar military academy, and from then on he entered the imperial prince of Ming Dynasty. Sight, finally...you don't have to stay in that small place of Guangningwei forever!

Each of these 30 people was selected by Zhu Houzhao himself. He planned to do so in the first three batches. When these people go out and have a good future, they will take the exam later.

Of course, the so-called good future is not something that can be obtained only after leaving the military academy. In fact, some of the 30 people will definitely die...

Also about this time,
The capital became more and more lively, and candidates from all over the country arrived in Beijing one after another, preparing for the examination in a month's time.

In Leshan County, Shandong Province, Huang Fu, an old man in his forties, opened the wooden door of his newly built main room with a pack of hard bread.

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head and plows through the moist soil to start spring plowing. Thousands of households use oxen.

"I'm off to work!"

Isn't it short now?
