The three battalions refer to the Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion and the Five Army Battalions, which were personally formed by Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, which is the most elite field army in the Ming Army, and its combat power is the highest in the country.

However, during the Ming Yingzong period, the "Tumubao Change" almost made the elite of the three battalions dead and wounded, and since then it has been in a slump, and later, a generation of famous ministers Yu Qian selected a part of the soldiers from the three major battalions to re-form the ten regiment battalions, and so on to the Hongzhi period, the ten regiment battalions increased to twelve regiment battalions.

During the Zhengde period, Wu Zong requisitioned 40,000 border troops to enter Beijing for drills, abolished the 12 regiments and battalions, and established the East Official Hall and the West Official Hall, with the minister Jiang Bin as the commander of the regimental training. However, at the beginning of Jiajing's ascension to the throne, Jiang Bin was captured and killed, and then the regimental battalions were immediately arranged, and all the 40,000 border troops were repatriated to their hometowns, and the old system of 12 regiments and battalions was restored, and Wu Xun was responsible for commanding each battalion.

However, after the siege of the city, Jiajing finally realized that the 12th regiment battalion controlled by the old Wuxun family was a group of local chickens and dogs, and they were useless, so they now planned to restore the establishment of the three major battalions in the early Ming Dynasty and recreate the glory of this iron-blooded hero.

Jiajing and Xu Jin Junchen waited for half an hour, and finally roughly finalized the plan for rebuilding the three major battalions, so they asked Shangshan to pass on lunch, and the two of them had lunch together in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts~ while continuing to chat.

The emperor invited his courtiers to dinner, which is undoubtedly a great honor for the courtiers, but it is not a big deal, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon, for example, Emperor Hongzhi often invited Li Dongyang Xie Qian and these ministers to eat, and Emperor Zhengde simply lived in the leopard room, ate and drank with a group of henchmen, walked chickens and dogs to watch the big show.

"Xu Qing, your idea of setting up a martial arts hall is good, I think it can be implemented, well, this matter will be handed over to you, the secretary of the military department!" Zhu Houxi said happily while eating.

It turned out that when Xu Jin and Jiajing were discussing how to restore the three major battalions just now, they put forward the idea of setting up a martial arts hall, and the so-called martial arts hall was actually the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations. Xu Jin moved the military academy to Daming, just to learn from the experience of later generations and use this method to train excellent generals for Daming.

In this way, it is not only possible to "produce" qualified generals in batches, but also to prevent the marshals of the unified army from dominating the army. Because in the future, the generals of all armies will be produced from the lecture hall, so naturally there will be less all kinds of nepotism, and in the future, everyone will only mention that they are the students of the XX phase of the lecture hall, not who is brought out by which marshal.

In addition, the emperor will serve as the principal of the martial arts hall, and the generals who will come out of the martial arts hall in the future will all be protégés of the Son of Heaven, which will naturally improve the patriotic thoughts of the generals to be loyal to the monarch. Therefore, Zhu Houxi was full of praise for the idea of setting up a martial arts standing station, and almost raised his hands and feet in favor of it.

"Command!" Xu Jin said happily.

Once the lecture hall is established, Jiajing is the principal of the military department, and he, the secretary of the military department, is naturally the first vice principal, and the main position is usually only in name, and the deputy position is the one who really works, so in the near future, Xu Jin's students will be all over the three armies.

At this time, Zhu Houxi picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth and said: "Xu Qing, your old Taishan and brother-in-law are both strong martial arts people, and last time they made great contributions in Cining Palace, I wanted to make them a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, but they declined, probably because they looked down on them."

If the martial arts hall is completed, can Xu Qing persuade them to become the head of the sect? As for the three shots, forget it, this kid plans to participate in the martial arts next year, if he has the ability to win the three tripings, I will make him a general. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but move in his heart, Jinyiwei is one of the emperor's pro-army, with a lot of power, but his reputation is not very good, it is estimated that the old soldier and the brother-in-law really look down on him, but if he is in the martial arts hall ~ as the head of the sect, they may be willing. Moreover, if the old soldier and the eldest brother-in-law are serving in the martial arts hall, they naturally have to take their families to live in the capital, so that Xiaowan will be spared the pain of missing her relatives, and it is estimated that this girl will have 100,000 supports, so he said: "Then go back and explore the tone of the old soldier and the brother-in-law!" ”

Jiajing nodded and said in a deep voice: "By the way, I can clean it up later, but Wang Zhi, the thief, must be exterminated as soon as possible, so as not to grow bigger and bigger." I originally wanted to send Shaoxingwei to command Feng Guoqing to lead the sailors to quell the rebellion, but now that there is Xu Qing, it is natural that Xu Qing is in charge, so after the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid that Xu Qing will have to work hard to go to sea again. ”

"It was indeed the minister's negligence to let Wang Zhi serve as the protector of the Oriental Metropolitan Protector at the beginning, and the minister should personally clean up this mess." Xu Jin said in a deep voice, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Jiajing bowed his head and said: "As the so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, Xu Qing must not make the same mistake again this time." ”

Xu Jin nodded, but there was a question in his heart, Wang Zhi and his son knew their own means, how could they rebel in such a short time, and according to Yan Song's statement in front of the emperor, Wang Zhi's father and son's performance was too arrogant and domineering, which made people feel a little unreal.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a request!" Xu Jin said suddenly.

"Tell me!"

"As the so-called division must be famous, Wang Zhi's father and son rebelled, and Yan Song, the secretary of the Guozijian Division, is the party concerned, so if the minister leads the division to quell the rebellion, it is best to let Yan Song accompany him, and then the minister can confidently interrogate Wang Zhi's father and son face to face."

Zhu Houxi said happily when he heard this: "Yes, Xu Qing had better capture this capricious father and son back to Beijing alive, I will reprimand them in person, and then punish them with capital punishment to set an example!" ”

"Obey the order!" Xu Jin said in a deep voice, in fact, the main reason why he wanted to bring Yan Song was not to confront Wang Zhi's father and son, but to worry that this guy would take advantage of his absence in Beijing to make trouble, after all, this thing is a famous traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who has controlled the government for 20 years, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

Since the siege of the city happened, Xu Jin no longer dared to take the big events recorded in the history books lightly, God knows if Yan Song will take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the ~ position during the time he went to sea. For example, Yan Song's "Please Raise Silkworm Ceremony" in the early days of this day was very amorous ~ coquettish, and successfully won Jiajing's heart.

……

At this moment, in Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang is meeting guests, this time in addition to Empress Wu, Yongfu and Princess Yongchun are present, and the guest is the Taoist priest Tao Zhongwen yesterday, but Shao Yuanjie did not come this time.

At this time, Tao Zhongwen checked the pulse of Empress Wu with a handkerchief, nodded with a smile: "The accumulated yin qi in the queen's body has shown signs of decreasing. ”

Empress Wu immediately nodded and said: "Since the Taoist chief cast a spell to exorcise evil spirits in the Kunning Palace yesterday, this palace only feels comfortable all over the body, and sleeps until dawn at night, this palace has not slept so peacefully for a long time!" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't help but smile and nod when she heard this, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her all showed awe, but the two princesses Yongfu and Yongchun glanced at each other suspiciously.

Tao Zhongwen's eyes quickly swept over the two princesses, a hint of vague surprise flashed in his eyes, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said with a smile: "This is the innate jade powder pill refined by the poor Dao, the queen mother takes one pill a day, and after seven days, all the yin qi in the body can be expelled, but remember that you can't take more than one day in a day, otherwise it will be too much." ”

Empress Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to take the bottle of elixir and said, "Thank you for the long gift of medicine!" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang said with a smile: "After the queen takes the elixir of the Taoist chief, is it ...... Is it okay? ”

Empress Dowager Jiang's implication was to ask, after the queen drove out the yin qi in her body, would she be able to conceive the dragon seed?

Empress Wu's face was slightly red, but she looked at Tao Zhongwen with hope, hoping that this real person with profound Taoism would nod.

It's a pity that Queen Wu was disappointed, only to see Tao Zhongwen shaking her head: "The so-called three points of cultivation, seven points of creation, poor Dao mana is limited, it depends on the queen's own creation!" ”

Princess Yongchun couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, it was in vain to dare to say it, and it was in vain to do it, this stinky Taoist priest was too cunning, and he pushed the responsibility in a few words!

Just when Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Wu were disappointed, Tao Zhongwen took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said: "There is also a kind of innate pure yang pill here in the poor road, if the emperor takes it beforehand, it should be helpful." ”

Princess Yongfu seemed to think of something, and her face couldn't help but change slightly, and Empress Dowager Jiang also frowned and said: "I don't know what the medicinal properties of this elixir are, if the medicinal properties are too strong, I am afraid that it will hurt the dragon body." ”

Tao Zhongwen said calmly: "The Queen Mother, please rest assured, this medicine is mild, and it will definitely not damage itself, and the poor Dao can guarantee his life." Of course, if the Queen Mother is worried, then forget it. ”

When Empress Wu saw that Tao Zhongwen was about to take back the medicine bottle, she hurriedly said, "Use it!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Empress Wu's face was as red as fire, and she obviously felt out of shape. Empress Dowager Jiang hurriedly said: "Then thank the Taoist chief, come here, take fifty taels of gold to the Taoist chief." ”

Tao Zhongwen stood up and said, "Thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother!" ”

Tao Xian won a large bounty from the Queen Mother, and Shi Shiran left the palace.

Empress Wu was holding two bottles of elixir in her hand, as if she was holding two bottles of elixir that could change her life against the sky. Princess Yongfu couldn't help but say lightly: "Queen Mother, does this Taoist elixir work, if it hurts the body, it's not good!" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "It naturally works, my mother ~ kiss often has insomnia and dreams during this time, and it is useless for the doctor to diagnose and treat, but it was cured after taking this Bingyi long pill, and now I don't know how much I sleep at night." ”

Empress Wu immediately echoed: "Yes, this Bingyi is indeed a real person with profound mana, since he cast a spell to exorcise evil spirits in Kunning Palace last night, this palace feels much better, and he sleeps soundly at night!" ”

Princess Yongfu was silent when she heard this, but there was a faint trace of worry in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid that the emperor will not be able to persuade him to take this pill, but the emperor has always listened to the Queen Mother." After Emperor Wu finished speaking, he looked at Empress Dowager Jiang with a blank eye.

Empress Dowager Jiang nodded and said: "Go back to the mourning family and tell the emperor, by the way, the emperor hasn't come to the early court yet, why didn't you come to ask for peace today?" ”

A eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has already made an early dynasty, but at this moment, he summoned the Marquis of Jinghai to the palace to discuss matters, and it is estimated that he will not be available now." ”

"I see!" Empress Dowager Jiang nodded, didn't say anything, and didn't send someone to invite the emperor, because he knew that Xu Jin was the emperor's minister, and there must be something important to discuss when he summoned Xu Jin into the palace, so it was inconvenient to disturb at this time.

Empress Wu is secretly annoyed, and it is this annoying Jinghai Marquis Xu Jin again!!
