"Now take my edict to the Praetorian Guard camp and transfer some men and horses to quell this chaos. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing that the strength of the guards was no longer able to maintain order in the city, Xiao Ming gave an order, and as for what caused the chaos in the city, he would investigate it later.

Qian Dafu answered, took Xiao Ming's talisman and walked towards the camp of the guards, where Xiao Ming returned to the palace under the protection of the guards.

Outside the palace gate, Fiji and Pang Yukun were waiting for Xiao Ming, and when they saw Xiao Ming coming back, the two immediately came over.

Without waiting for the two to speak, Xiao Ming said, "Let's talk about something in the imperial study." ”

With that, he got out of the carriage and led the two to the imperial study.

Sitting down on the chair, Xiao Ming looked at the two of them, and he said directly: "I know that you are here for the chaos in this city." ”

Fiji said: "It is precisely a celestial theory in Qingzhou Daily that caused this confusion, and for this reason, the minister specially read this article, which is really shocking." ”

"Fei Ge is serious, it's not shocking, it's just some facts." Pang Yukun didn't care, he had been in Qingzhou University for a long time, and now Pang Yukun's thinking was no different from those students who studied technology.

Xiao Ming didn't discuss the matter of celestial theory with the two, so this matter caught the two of them a little off guard, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Now that you all know, what do you think now?"

Fiji is the ruler of the country and a cabinet minister, and what he cares about most is naturally Xiao Ming's imperial power, and other things are easy to discuss, but if anyone threatens Xiao Ming's status, he will be anxious with whom.

After a deep sigh, he said: "Your Majesty, what the old minister is worried about is to give others the truth, and he will make a fuss about this matter in the future, the emperor should not forget, the trouble of the king of Chu has not been solved, and the third prince is still in Yizhou." ”

"The Third Prince? Haha, Fei Ge Lao is worried that it is redundant, I let the third prince manage Yizhou on the surface, but in fact he is exiled, and the secret guards have been monitoring his every move, and I know how to deal with it when necessary. Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun and Fiji glanced at each other, and Pang Yukun said: "Your Majesty, what Fei Ge Lao is really worried about is the King of Chu, if the throne is not from the Mandate of Heaven, wouldn't this be in response to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's words, and the prince will Xiangning have a kind of thing?" In this way, I am afraid that the ministers will covet the throne. “

Xiao Ming squinted at Fiji and Pang Yukun, he heard the meaning, the two of them had something to say.

"You're worried about the army?" Xiao Ming frowned.

Fiji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, it is true, although there is a long history in this army, but if the long history and the generals are in collusion, what should it be?" ”

"Since ancient times, the most taboo is that the army is outside, and the triumphant return to the court, in case the general has a bad intention, it will be very dangerous, and now the celestial theory comes out, the king's mandate will become a thing of the past, and the most feared thing is that the general will lose his shackles." Fiji is bitter.

Pang Yukun did not oppose Fiji this time, and obviously agreed with this matter very much.

Historically, there have been many cases where the army is not subject to the emperor's orders, which is the source of the two people's worries.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming sighed slightly, what the two said was not unreasonable, but they couldn't once again embark on the road of emphasizing literature over military force because they were worried about the army rebellion.

He said: "I understand the meaning of the two elders, it is because of this that I will leave the most elite Praetorian Guard to protect the important land of the Beijing Division, and now under the premise of the separation of military and government, the army is responsible for fighting, the court is responsible for logistics, an army without food and salary will not do anything, and besides, now the right to mobilize the army is in my hands, there will be no problem for the time being, and after the army returns to the court, I will also replace the commander of the Tiger Army, so that they cannot turn the army into their own private soldiers." ”

Fiji and Pang Yukun just reminded Xiao Ming again about this incident, and they were naturally much relieved to see that Xiao Ming had a good plan.

Especially the last item that Xiao Ming said made them feel at ease, now the Tiger Army is divided into the first army, the second army, the third army, and the Shenji army, Xiao Ming means that the commanders of these four armies will change positions regularly, Lu Fei is not in the first army, but according to the system for two or three years and then go to the second army.

In this way, the generals will not be able to leave a deep-rooted force in the army.

"The emperor is wise." Fiji and Pang Yukun said in unison, a little relieved.

Xiao Ming smiled, he is using modern methods of managing the army to manage his army, of course, Fiji and Pang Yukun are also well-intentioned, even in modern times, there is a situation where the military government overthrows the ruling party, not to mention this era of backward information.

Putting this topic aside, Xiao Ming said with a straight face: "The most important thing at the moment is the matter of astronomy, Ge Yiren, Yu Zhiyong, and Ni Kuang have already met with me, and the three of them are very familiar with current affairs, and promised that I will calm down this matter, and will also promote Neo-Confucianism, so the two of you don't have to worry, you just need to appease the officials in the court, I don't want to see officials messing around with Confucianism." “

After a pause, Xiao Ming accentuated his tone, "But all officials, if anyone dares to criticize the celestial theory, they will all be dismissed, and this time I must correct the unhealthy atmosphere of the Great Yu Kingdom." ”

Fiji and Pang Yukun both trembled in their hearts, this time Xiao Ming is going to move seriously, if the current situation of the Great Yu Kingdom is not drastically forward, I am afraid that it will fall behind others.

The two of them answered yes, resigned Xiao Ming and walked outside.

After sending the two away, Qian Dafu came back from outside and reported the situation in the city.

"Your Majesty, this incident was indeed caused by a brawl between Confucian scholars and the children of merchants, and now the merchants like this celestial theory very much, and they spontaneously hype it up, which is quite powerful."

Xiao Ming nodded, the merchant reform over the years has begun to bear fruit, and now the merchant class has been born after the scholar class, and this new class is fighting against the scholar class for its own interests.

For Xiao Ming, this is a good phenomenon, although he has never had a good impression of capital, but I have to say that this force is the main force in the pursuit of innovation.

"Your Majesty, now the guards have arrested hundreds of people and put them in prison, and now they are waiting for the emperor to deal with them." Qian Dafu said.

"Who's the first to do it?" Xiao Ming asked.

"It's a Confucian student."

"This is easy, the businessmen who participated in the brawl are all released, and let the Confucian scholars think carefully in prison and figure it out, the current Dayu Kingdom is no longer the way it used to be." Xiao Ming said lightly.

In fact, on the way back, he made a decision, no matter who did it this time, he would release the merchant and punish these pedantic Confucian students.

Because he wants to release an attitude to the people of Qingzhou, that is, he is firmly on the side of celestialism.
