The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 465 How to deal with you

Cabinet value.

Xie Qian told Li Dongyang and Liu Jian what he saw and heard in the school.

The two of them didn't think it was too surprising. After all, they had known Zhang Zhou's performance in the army for a long time. When the Ming army, especially the Beijing garrison, was slack in daily training, Zhang Zhou's arrival could be said to be a blessing for the lifeless army. The world brings great vitality.

Li Dongyang said: "In this way, no one can shake Zhang Bingkuan's position in the army. Not only in the Ministry of War, but also in the Governor's Mansion, the Beijing Camp, and even everywhere in the Nine Borders."

Although Xie Qian didn't want to admit it, he still nodded and said: "Just looking at the effect, it is true that the combat power in the army has increased by leaps and bounds. Besides, His Majesty trusts him so much that even the prince... regards him as a teacher. But I don't know what he is like with the prince. What you said will make the prince so enthusiastic about military affairs."

Liu Jian said: "Is the prince a martial artist?"

"Ah."

Xie Qian nodded again.

This made Liu Jian a little worried.

As ordinary ministers, the future prince is still just a child, so they don't care whether the child is thinking about learning or conquering the world.

But the chief minister is different. Now the emperor has suddenly changed from a benevolent and filial king to an emperor who likes to pursue achievements in military affairs, which makes him very depressed. If Zhang Zhou is allowed to pass on this martial spirit ...

Li Dongyang said: "Should we go to the people of Hanyuan to persuade and guide the prince?"

"It doesn't make much sense." Liu Jian said, "The prince has formed a character over the years. Even if he interferes, if he can't cultivate it from an early age, it will be a drop in the bucket."

In Chinese culture, it is important to look old at the age of three.

Liu Jian felt that once the prince had been "led astray" by Zhang Zhou, it would not be so easy to bring the prince back to the right path.

Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "It can't be completely ignored. The Donggong lecture class has been slack recently. If you can't guide the prince well, I'm afraid that Daming will go astray in the future."

Xie Qian suddenly felt that the style of painting had changed a bit, and he asked: "Your Majesty seems to intend to select personnel for the military exercise in the school today, and send troops to Hetao before the end of March, so you two have nothing to say?"

"What about the horse negative map?" Liu Jian asked.

Xie Qian said: "Since Ma Xiangtu was transferred to the Ministry of Officials, his work has become more mediocre. He almost never asks about the affairs of the Ministry of War."

Originally, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, since they were already ministers of the Ministry of Officials, could not interfere with the affairs of the original yamen at all, but it was because during the Hongzhi period, officials were very particular about "inheritance", which meant bringing the old with the new. will always have a great influence.

For the cabinet, they counted on Ma Wensheng's prestige in the Ministry of War to suppress Zhang Zhou's rise.

But after Zhang Zhou rose to power, Ma Wensheng's control over the Ministry of War was almost completely wiped out.

Li Dongyang sighed: "I'm afraid that this will make Daming slip into the abyss of militarism."

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang, probably saying, how can we not see what you said?But how to solve the problem?Everyone knows that Zhang Zhou is a big hidden danger and will bring instability to Daming, but his status is so stable now, what do you use to make him lose the trust of the emperor?

……

……

In the martial arts hall.

Because Cui Yuan was promoted that day, he was promoted from the "baby class" of his relatives to the "professor class". He didn't even want to go home and tell his wife the good news. Yanwutang, can you learn something new?

As Daming's son-in-law, he has never been so confident as he is now, as if life has meaning because of it.

"Consort Cui, congratulations."

Back in the Yanwu Hall in the city, many fellow generals came over to "congratulate" him.

The congratulations were not that he entered the high school research class, but that he was praised by the emperor in public, and even suggested that if Cui Yuan's performance could continue to be so good in the future, he would have the opportunity to enter the upper hearing department... After all, among the martial arts However, only Zhu Hui, Duke of the Baoguo, has this honor, and even old man Zhang is currently only a "minister who walks in front of the hearing department".

Cui Yuan asked, "Where do you study?"

A general who came to Jizhou for further study said, "Don't worry Cui, we just came back, and what we learn every day is very complicated, and there is no customization. What you can learn depends on your own luck. And here, It doesn’t mean that if you learn well, you will be valued.”

"what?"

Cui Yuan felt puzzled for a moment.

Yanwutang is so awesome, but it also engages in secret operations?Otherwise, why do you say that you have learned well, but you are not valued?

"It's like this, everyone's understanding ability is different, and the things they experience are different... This is what lecturers often say, if you can apply what you understand in actual combat, even if your tactics are wild, As long as your execution ability is strong enough, or you are determined enough, you can be invincible in battle and become a qualified coach. On the contrary, no matter how well you learn, it is just a matter of paper. If you don't delay, it will damage the reputation of the Martial Arts Hall at that time."

The people around are still very polite.

Because in the college class, it is rare to have Cui Yuan who was born as a relative of the emperor, so he is considered a different kind.

Most of them are generals who actually lead troops, and they didn't have many opportunities to play on the battlefield before, but if they encounter an enemy attack, they are still at the forefront.

Cui Yuan is like a transfer student in a college class, a relative.

A talented person who can be appreciated by the emperor and get advice from Zhang Zhou, Wang Qiong and others is also a relative of the emperor, and his future is bound to be boundless. It is definitely beneficial to curry favor with such a person.

Cui Yuan asked: "But, if you don't go to the battlefield in person, who knows how well you can execute it? What other performances when encountering the enemy... Are these too general?"

What he wants to ask is, how can you determine what you said without being verified on the battlefield?

What he said made those generals a little confused.

After all, he is a scholar, and he likes to get to the bottom of things. Even if those people occasionally say something reasonable, they still follow the cats and tigers and the gourds and gourds. They don't quite understand the specific reference standards behind the question of whether it is a matter of theory or actual operation.

"Cui Ma, if you have something, you might as well ask the instructor. Here, the most powerful person is Cai Guogong, but he doesn't come often. It's best to ask Wang Shilang, but he doesn't come often. On the contrary, Marquis Anbian often comes to teach. , but An Bianhou mostly copied what was written in his lectures, if you don’t understand, after receiving your own textbooks, go back and study on your own.”

It was only then that Cui Yuan knew that there were still "textbooks" in the Martial Arts Hall.

When he went to the logistics side and brought back his books, he found that the content he read was somewhat different from what Wang Qiong gave him before.

In other words, the content in the textbook in front of me is still a bit superficial, and it belongs to the kind of from shallow to deep.

What Wang Qiong gave him was directly the "teaching plan", which is equivalent to a special version for the husband.

Of course, not everyone can understand that kind of version, just like him Cui Yuan, even after studying for many years, he can only understand a rough idea, and he is often confused about the art of war, let alone studying martial arts. This group of rough guys who haven't even read a book for a few days are gone.

……

……

Zhang Zhou returned to the city after attending the school field inspection, but before he had gone far, he saw Zhang Mao leading someone on horseback chasing him.

Zhang Mao can be regarded as a unique figure in horseback riding in the big capital city. Zhang Zhou felt that this old boy was deliberately showing off in front of him.

"Bingkuan, just wait."

Zhang Mao came forward, dismounted very enthusiastically, and took the initiative to come over to greet him.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the British? Temporary? Or... is it inconvenient to talk about something outside the city?"

You just came back from the school outside the city, and if you said that you wanted to avoid the emperor, you didn't say anything when the emperor left.

Now you catch up to me and talk to me in a public place in the city, you old man Zhang is very attentive.

Zhang Mao didn't intend to invite Zhang Zhou to the mansion, or even drink tea there, he said: "Bing Kuan, what do you think of the dog's performance on the school field today?"

This brings up Zhang Rui.

Zhang Zhou nodded with a smile and said: "The results will be mentioned in the performance. The British Duke himself is the examiner. You want to ask me a bystander?"

You are an examiner, don't you know if your son is doing well?

Zhang Mao sighed, "It's better for you to say half a sentence when others say a hundred sentences."

"Hehe." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Your Majesty relies on the Ministry of War for military and political matters, but he doesn't listen to the Ministry of War for everything. It seems that His Majesty didn't ask me about my evaluation of the school examination results today. If If the Englishman is asking the question in his personal capacity, then I can say that the son is doing well."

Is Zhang Rui really doing well?

From Zhang Zhou's point of view, it's very ordinary, even his father may not be able to compare.

But Zhang Rui really worked hard, but because of his own conditions... After all, Zhang Rui hadn't dabbled in bows and horses for many years because of soft feet, and the academic education atmosphere of the old Zhang family was not good enough. No matter how smart Zhang Rui is, it is impossible for him to have a flexible mind like Cui Yuan.

On this point, Zhang Zhou felt that a young man like Zhang Lun would be more energetic.

But who made Zhang Rui die early in history, and Zhang Lun himself was the one who succeeded Zhang Mao in the UK?
Zhang Mao asked: "What do you think, Bingkuan, if Quanzi is to lead the troops out of the fortress, what position should he be assigned?"

Zhang Zhoudao: "Hey, Duke Ying, don't be ridiculous. Sending troops to the Hetao now is just His Majesty's plan. It has not been fully implemented, and everything has not yet been decided. You just want to let your son go out with the army?"

"Assumption, what I mean by this old man is to ask Bingkuan to make an assumption." Zhang Mao smiled with a harmless smile on his face.

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "If your son wants to lead the army with the current results and rankings, it may be a bit troublesome, but if the three armies go out for a big battle, and there are so many positions in the army, why do you have to take the lead? Regarding the election In fact, it is difficult for me to get involved in the question of who should not be elected, and you also know that most of the people His Majesty wants to use this time will not be recommended by me."

He was reminding Zhang Mao.

The emperor wants to use people from the traditional martial arts faction to lead the army to complete the battle of Hetao, which is in itself to balance the relationship between me and the old martial arts faction in the court.

It's as if it's up to me to decide which of your old school martial arts is capable... so what's the balance?
Daming military and political affairs, shall I speak my mind?

Zhang Mao said with a smile: "Bingkuan, who are you? Even if the person you use is not yours, the strategy is not up to you? If you want to achieve some success, you need to plan the overall plan. Besides, what are you and me talking about? Yes, we are all too alienated, we all serve Daming, so why should we separate each other?"

Zhang Mao is a tricky old man.

Zhang Zhouxin said, the old guy probably saw that the torrent of history is unstoppable, and it is difficult for traditional cold weapon warfare to become the mainstream, so you want to move closer to the new school.

The so-called many enemies are not as good as many friends. Even if you can't hold back your old face, you should at least understand that the torrent of history has nothing to do with your old Zhang family. The old Zhang family can only follow the trend.

Zhang Zhoudao: "But if I say that your grandson Zhang Lun is quick-witted, even if he is still slack in matters such as bowing horses, if you can let him personally accompany the army, it may be more secure than your son..."

"he?"

Zhang Mao frowned.

Is this a matter of deciding an heir for me from generation to generation?

I can obviously let my son play, and my son has also played in the frontier. Why should I find a fledgling grandson to embarrass others?
"Personal opinion, the British public will listen to it." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "It's getting late. Let's leave."

"you……"

Zhang Yuben wanted to pull Zhang Zhou to talk about his son's merits, but he never thought that Zhang Zhou would be so shameless, roll up his sleeves and leave as soon as he said it.

Zhang Zhou's voice came from not far away: "If you want to serve the country, you should express your heart to His Majesty more, and talk to you, but it is of no practical effect!"

……

……

Cui Yuan was in the martial arts hall for a day.

The content of the lectures was mainly taught by a few chiefs of the Ministry of War, and even Lin Ting was the instructor, who taught them some content, and finally Zhu Feng gave them the last class.

Cui Yuan felt that he had gained a lot.

Back home, excitedly went to talk to his wife.

But as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Yongkang walking towards him with a dark face.

"Princess..." Cui Yuan suddenly felt that he had done something wrong.

To be the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, one should have the consciousness to be a vase, but now it seems that he wants to become famous?It means betrayal of the family.

Want to be independent, want to fly solo?
Yongkang said: "What have you done? Why does the emperor praise you so much? It's just because you study well? Or..."

When Yongkang first learned that her husband was awesome, she naturally felt very happy, but then she couldn't figure it out. How could her husband stand out from the crowd because he had never been in contact with military affairs?
Is there some secret that I don't know?
Cui Yuandao: "Princess, it's like this. Didn't I study at home a few days ago? It was given by Mr. Wang, the left servant of the household department. I came back to study for a few days. Today, His Majesty asked me to write military policy, so I will follow my own ideas." , and the inspiration above, I wrote a few paragraphs...Actually, my performance in riding and archery was very bad, I thought I would be ashamed to face you."

"It turns out that there is a noble person to help."

Only then did Yongkang feel a little relieved, rolled his eyes at his husband and said, "As long as you have lived up to my wishes, I won't care about you as much as I do. Next time I will hide something... Let's see how I will deal with you."

　I continued to run home, but the hospital nurse called at night, saying that I can't do this in the hospital, and who is responsible for the accident... blah blah blah.Tomorrow morning, I will continue to draw blood to check the indicators... Today, the gastroscope and ultrasound did not find any problems... I drank something that looked like anesthetics for gastroscopy, and it was quite uncomfortable. Up to now, my throat is still sore, and there is no jaundice caused by any reason. Find out.He said that he would prescribe choleretic medicine for me tomorrow. I searched it. If I had jaundice caused by an unexplained obstruction, choleretic medicine would make my condition worse... Now I deeply doubt whether the doctor is playing with me.The ambulance business was done by the way. The deposit was 39 yuan, and a little over 260 yuan was refunded. That is to say...the ambulance took more than three kilometers this time, plus an electrocardiogram...it cost [-] yuan.I won't be able to come back tomorrow night. I'll try to write before I go back to the hospital at dawn...but I can't write anymore.The pain of life does not lie in the treatment of illnesses...but in the fact that one does not know why one gets one...
