Eighteen-year-old Holy Monarch Zhao Ji walked out of the back of the hall quickly, wearing a bright red Son of Heaven regular clothes, wearing a flat-legged head, and swaggered to the Chongzheng Palace. Compared with the previous generations of sick and crooked Great Song officials, the Son of Heaven in front of him looks like a saint. The complexion is white and red, the figure is burly and strong, and the appearance is not rough, which is very in line with the aesthetic concept of the Song people, it can be regarded as handsome and chic, and the corners of the lips have a mustache, which looks stable.

And what reassures the ministers the most is that this young son of heaven has been blessed with longevity since he was a child, and he doesn't look like the descendants of the old Zhao family who are in good health, and he never gets sick, and it is said that he can see the tendon meat with his bare shoulders! The Hanlin medical officers didn't know Zhao Ji very well......

And this Zhao Dashengjun's fertility is also guaranteed, don't look at the age of eighteen, he is already the father of a son and a daughter, these two children are also not sick, and the Hanlin medical officer has never seen them. In addition, there are two concubines in Zhao Dashengjun's harem who already have big bellies, and they will be able to give birth in the next year. Therefore, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not worried about the problem that Zhao Ji has no heir behind him, besides, with Zhao Ji's body and bones, it is estimated that the big guy will not live to the day when he will control Bintian.

Of course, this saint has a reputation for being lustful. It's about the same as his short-lived brother and his long-lived father, oh, it's blue.

However, the body is the capital of lust, the emperor with good health is lustful, which is imported for the Zhao and Song Dynasty royal palaces, and the emperor who is not in good health is lustful and lustful, and he doesn't even have a prince, that is, he is stupid.

At a time when the ministers in the Chongzheng Hall were all very satisfied with the Holy Monarch. The Zhao Dashengjun, who was both civil and military, and whose talent definitely surpassed that of Tang Taizong, was a little dissatisfied with these deacons.

They're all bad old men...... Prime Minister Han Zhongyan is a guy who has no opinions, and he is dumbfounded by Vice Prime Minister Zeng Bu every time. The second prime minister, Zeng Bu, is a thorn, he doesn't speak in harmony at all, and it sounds like he is teaching people. Knowing that the Privy Council is an old fool, he actually advocates giving up Huangzhou and Shanzhou. Zhang Qi, who also knows the affairs of the Privy Council, is sober-minded, although he is the elder brother of Zhang Dian's big traitor, but he is also available, but this body looks very weak, standing there and staggering, he won't faint on the Chongzheng Palace, right? There is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Nangong, eighty-one doesn't know that it is eighty-two, and he still refuses to be a minister, and he still wants to be a vice minister...... Do you have to do your best and die?

Holy Monarch Zhao Ji sighed and said to the small yellow door in the distance: "Give a seat to all the kings in the palace." ”

Because there are too many old ministers, Zhao Ji has to give seats to the courtiers in the Chongzheng Palace almost every day. The eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Institute who served in the Chongzheng Palace (because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were generally not in good health, so the eunuchs of the Imperial Medicine Institute were on duty in the Chongzheng Palace, so that they could be rescued in time, but Zhao Ji did not need them) had already prepared, and moved the pestle with his hands and feet and put it behind the back of the ministers.

After the ministers thanked them, they sat down one after another, and the meeting of the Chongzheng Hall officially began.

During this period, the focus of the bipartisan quarrel between the old and the new was the abolition and retention of the Privy Council's military science department. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is the future of 500 young officers. However, what is involved behind the scenes are the three major events that may break the balance of power in the central Song Dynasty, the production of grassroots officers, and the formation and training of the new army.

Zhao Ji, who has been a saint for a while, of course knows that the power of the Great Song Dynasty official family is based on the balance and restraint of the civil officials who were born in the imperial examination, the reincarnated generals, and the northwest border army.

And the Privy Council's Department of Military Science seems to be in control of the cooperation between the civilian officials of the center and the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army, ready to kick away the rhythm of the capitalists who founded the country!

The Jiangmen capitalists in Kaifeng Mansion can't fight, everyone knows this. But they are faithful, and they are safe to use it. Really kicked them out of the way, and replaced them with a group of generals from the northwest, can the Holy Monarch Zhao Ji sleep?

But the combat effectiveness of those Kaifeng generals is indeed a problem...... Zhao Ji is still waiting to be a saint!

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have received another recital from Zuo Zhengyan, saying that the Privy Council's Military Science Department violates the ancestral family law and must be abolished as soon as possible. also said that Murong Wang, the secretary of the Zhibing Academy, was Zhang Dan's personal and was training private soldiers for Zhang Dan. What do you think? ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's question, the important ministers in the palace couldn't help frowning, this was Ren Boyu's performance. Although he did not directly accuse Zhang of plotting misdeeds, he was still charged with "private soldiers".

"Private soldiers" were not absolutely forbidden in the Song Dynasty, and they could raise a little bit of the gate, otherwise they wouldn't even have a henchman around them on the battlefield! But the prime minister is a taboo to keep private soldiers!

In addition, the "private soldiers" are also divided into grades. In fact, the Baoding of the armor can also contact the private soldiers, but that is allowed. Because Bao Ding could not be equipped with armor and ordnance, he could only possess a small amount of paper armor and less powerful "civilian weapons", which did not pose a threat to the rule of the imperial court.

However, the Privy Council's Military Science Department is concentrated in the elite, most of them are low-level military attaches of the Western Army, and they are the masters who have killed Western thieves on the battlefield! Moreover, they are dignified officers and soldiers, and there is no limit to the equipment they have. If these people become Zhang Dan's henchmen and private soldiers, and secretly infiltrate the Beijing division at a critical moment, then they can launch a coup d'état and depose the king.

If on the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanfu, Zhang Dian had hundreds of armor soldiers in his hands, then it was not the Holy Monarch Zhao Ji who was sitting on the Chongzheng Hall now......

"The establishment of the Military Academy Department is the most beneficial governance for the country since the years of Shaosheng and Yuan Fu, and the purpose is to use the school to train generals who lead troops, and at the same time to formulate laws and regulations for marching and fighting. After taking over as a privy envoy, the minister carefully examined the various regulations and methods for training generals and training troops formulated by the Department of Military Sciences, and he always felt a sense of enlightenment. The minister thought that the Military Academy Department could be improved, but he should not abandon the method of educating generals through schools and using the law to train troops, still less should he regard the Military Academy Division as anyone's private soldier. ”

Although the relationship between the new privy envoy An Tao and Zhang Dian was very bad, and there were many criticisms of the new policies since Shao Sheng and Yuan Fu, he still did not hesitate to stand behind Zhang Dian on the issue of the Military Science Division.

In fact, using schools to train generals was part of Wang Anshi's new policy, and Wang Anshi's method was to restore the martial arts that had been running for three months during the Qingli period. However, Wang Anshi did not understand military affairs, and as a result, he turned martial arts into a "martial arts cram school", which was basically a failure.

And Murong Wangwu and Zhao Zhongge are really knowledgeable, and Wu Haogu came up with a way for students to teach teachers, so that young officers on the front line of the Western Army can enroll in school and contribute their military experience. Therefore, it only took Murong a year and a half to formulate a complete set of equipment, training, operations, and command methods applicable to the "department" and "team," as well as the training methods for military commanders at the general and team levels.

Of course, what has been worked out now is only the method of the infantry army, and the cavalry has not yet thought out how to do it.

But this is still an impressive achievement!

"Your Majesty, the country already has martial arts and can educate officers, so why bother opening the Privy Council Military Science Department? If the regulations of the Military Academy Division are good, let the martial arts adopt it, and if Murong Wuwu is indeed capable, let him be the director of the Guozijian and the doctor of Taixue. It is inappropriate to let the Privy Council have jurisdiction over the Department of Military Sciences. Since An Tao advocated the retention of the Military Science Division, Han Zhongyan naturally advocated the abolition of the Military Science Division. Although he also knew that the work of the Military Science Department was effective, the Great Song Dynasty had its own national conditions, and it had always liked to divide powers. It is always more reassuring to hand over the work of cultivating generals to the relatively independent Guozijian system.

Han Zhongyan seemed to be reasonable, and Zhao Ji turned his head to look at Zeng Bu again.

Zeng Bu retorted: "Since the reopening of martial arts in the Xining period, there has never been a good general, and there are not even a few people in the army. The reason for this is that Guozijian itself is not involved in military affairs, and the doctors and teachings used in the way of winning with soldiers are all laymen, how to educate military scholars? ”

"The doctors and teachings of the Guozijian don't understand military affairs, but the civil officials of the Privy Council know how to lead troops? Murong Wangwu and Zhao Zhongge, who are now in charge of the Military Science Department, are both Liao people from the south, who have been generals for generations, and are not real literati. Wouldn't it be better to use them to be in charge of the Military Science Department in charge of the Military Academy, and if the Military Science Division was handed over to the Sanya to be in charge of the army, and the good generals of our dynasty were in charge? ”

It's really fair to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable...... Zhao Ji's head was a little big when he heard it. And he also knew that reasonable methods were not in line with the ancestral family law, and handing over the Military Science Division to the Privy Council was to let the center directly take charge of the elite soldiers. Handing over the Military Science Department to the Sanya to manage the army and using military generals as teachers is not a matter of using literature to control the military - this is equivalent to giving some of the power to select generals to military generals, and it is easy to form a teacher-student dependency relationship in the army.

And the line that conforms to the family law of the ancestors is to let civil officials who don't know how to fight at all and can only draw formation diagrams teach others to fight......

Zhao Ji sighed: "The abolition of the Military Science Department will be discussed later, how should the 500 students who are now studying in the Military Science Department be arranged?" ”

"They should be allowed to finish their studies," said An Tao, a member of the Privy Council, "and then send them to the Hebei Forbidden Army as training officers." ”

This is to use the young generals of the Western Army to grab the job of opening the Fengjiang Gate!

Zhao Ji frowned, because he had encountered another seemingly unsolvable problem! Before the chaos in Western Xia, most of the official positions of the Northwest Forbidden Army were also held by the people of Kaifeng Jiangmen.

Now the Western Army has become a system of its own, and a group of local military generals in the Northwest who rose in the Song-Xia War occupied most of the official positions of the Northwest Forbidden Army, squeezing out the Kaifeng Generals. What is the relationship between the two parties, you can figure it out with your heels.

If the Northwest Jiangmen is allowed to invade the Hebei Forbidden Army, which originally belonged to the Kaifeng Jiangmen, I am afraid that the two sides will fight even more fiercely!

"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Han Zhongyan had already spoken, "The minister thinks that the 500 students in the Military Science Department are rare cavalry generals, similar to Tang Taizong's Xuanjia cavalry, and the imperial court should keep this rare cavalry, instead of using them for training infantry." ”
