Zhou Shixiang was really stunned, and Shoufu's turn was a bit big. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He thought that Guo Zhiqi would oppose the reform in every possible way, because after the reform, the power of the government was basically monopolized by the military ministers, and there was nothing to do with civil officials.

For example, the Privy Council, 120 cardinals, military ministers and marquis, and civil ministers and above can enter the matter. Compared with the military ministers, it is even more difficult for the Wenchen to enter the Privy Council, because now the entire Dingwu Imperial Court has served as a Wenchen with more than three orphans, and only Qian Qianyi has returned to his hometown.

Even Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant, has never been awarded the three orphans, but there are many military ministers who have been awarded the title of marquis. In this way, after the establishment of the Privy Council, like the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it was full of military ministers. With just one cabinet, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to check and balance the military ministers.

And where the military ministers came from, it is clear at a glance that this privy council is clearly set up by Zhou Shixiang to control the power of the court, and it is very high-sounding.

As the head of the civil officials, how could Guo Zhiqi support this kind of reform that completely deprives the civil servants of their powers, he agreed, and the court in the southern capital would not agree, so Zhou Shixiang was ready to face the situation of "the court was empty" after entering Beijing.

As for whether the country will become a military state from now on and become a militaristic state, Zhou Shixiang has never been worried. As early as when the Dingwu Imperial Court was first established, he publicly said to his cronies that in the future, no knighthood would be awarded for non-military merits, and no knighthood would be allowed to enter the cabinet. In order to correct the prejudice and discrimination of the world against "martial arts" since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, so that the civil and military forces will truly become a family, and no longer repeat the lessons of the Song and Ming dynasties that the literature was strong and the military was weak, resulting in the death of the country.

To this end, Zhou Shixiang vigorously promoted the literacy campaign in the army, and opened three military academies to train qualified officers, so that they could kill the enemy when they got off the horse and govern the country when they got off the horse. In addition to military academies and military training schools, Zhou Shixiang ordered universal education when he was in Guangdong, with university halls in the province, middle schools in the prefecture, primary schools in the county, and kindergartens in the countryside. For those who are enrolled in the church, food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the government to reduce the burden on students.

Guangdong is now doing a very good job in popularizing education, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi regard this as a hundred-year plan, and invest a lot of resources in this regard, and the money and grain spent even account for 40 percent of Guangdong's own tax revenue, and 20 percent of the profits of maritime trade in Annam and other places.

In order to encourage the people to send their children to school, Song Xianggong also formulated many preferential policies. Combined with the imperial examination system, students who enter the kindergarten are equivalent to Mengsheng, students who enter the primary school are equivalent to Xiucai, students who enter the middle school are equivalent to lifting people, and students who enter the university hall are equivalent to Jinshi background.

Upon completion of their studies, students who graduate from the university are required to study at the Armament Training Institute for one year and then serve in the military for two years. Students can not only devote themselves to killing the enemy and be promoted to the court with military merits, but also can enter the "listening to government" positions provided by the government at all levels in Guangdong after the expiration of their service period.

As Zhou Shixiang's most trusted right-hand man, Song Xianggong had a thorough understanding of the "compulsory education" that Zhou Shixiang had proposed, and the Guangdong side is now working hard to make all the enlightened children enrolled, so that the power of writing that had been mastered by the landlords and gentry before could be mastered by everyone.

Zhou Shi is very satisfied with Guangdong's investment and attention to education, but at present, it cannot be fully promoted in all provinces, because Guangdong's total population is only more than 1.5 million, and the number of students and school-age children is not large, which enables Guangdong to grit its teeth and insist on education investment. If the Guangdong model is fully promoted in all provinces, the population base will be large, the financial burden will be huge, and there will not be enough teachers.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what Zhou Shixiang can do now is to comprehensively rectify the court and army, and then concentrate on the Northern Expedition to completely eliminate the great enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and unify China. Erquan has made great efforts to expand overseas, and comprehensively promoted education with the country's financial resources and the teachers trained in Guangdong and other provinces. So that writing and knowledge are no longer the privilege of the gentry, but the basic hardware that every Han person should master.

Each level of school in Guangdong has a corresponding military training course, and after completing the university, it is necessary to serve, so that the scholars who come out are naturally civil and military, and after being appointed as an official in the future, how can they have the idea of discriminating against their "classmates". The civil and military are truly inseparable.

To a certain extent, Guangdong is now Zhou Shixiang's "test field" and is ahead of the provinces. It can even be said that Guangdong is continuously providing Zhou Shixiang with talents, and in the future, these people will inevitably be an important force in safeguarding Zhou Shixiang and safeguarding the interests of the Taiping Army. So that in the future, China will not be destroyed, so that Zhou Shixiang will have a successor.

However, at present, Guangdong is far from being able to provide the huge talents that Zhou Shixiang needs. Ten years of people, a hundred years of trees, Zhou Shixiang is not in a hurry, everything he is doing now is to lay the foundation for the future talent team and clear the obstacles on the road ahead for them.

Thoroughly improving the status of military ministers, establishing the power of military ministers at the central level, comprehensively suppressing the old bureaucrats, and then completely eliminating them is the ultimate goal of the reform of the Zhou Shixiang Constitutional Decree. It's just that he never thought that Guo Zhiqi didn't oppose the reform, but proposed that Zhou Shixiang should marry the eldest princess as soon as possible.

Guo Zhiqi's attitude is very firm, he knows that Zhou Shixiang needs his support. Even if His Royal Highness the King of Qi who holds a large army wants to usurp the throne, he must have a fig leaf on his face, he will not directly kill the monarch and stand on his own, in that case, no matter how great his achievements are, there will always be indelible stains in the history books.

Of course, Guo Zhiqi knows that once the system is reformed, then all the generals in the court will be people from the Taiping Army in the future, and these people are obviously the staunchest supporters of Zhou Shixiang's usurpation. But he couldn't object, and the fact that the Metropolitan Governor's Office had been established without the consent of the imperial court left him with no choice. It was he who strongly opposed it and mobilized all his forces to obstruct Zhou Shixiang, and the result was only more prisoners in Nanzhen Prison.

Guo Zhiqi chose to avoid and delay, even if the restructuring was a poison, he had to swallow it, because he needed time to contact the kings outside.

Letting Zhou Shixiang and the eldest princess marry is undoubtedly Guo Zhiqi's delaying means, and it is also the last resort to protect Emperor Dingwu, and perhaps the last resort to keep the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty seems to have remorse there."

Zhou Shixiang had a headache, and he smiled bitterly. It's not that he doesn't want to marry Shuyi, it's just that since Lian Chengbi's death, Emperor Dingwu has become more and more dissatisfied with him, otherwise he wouldn't let Shuyi go back, let alone stop the dynasty. And the eyeliner of the Military Intelligence Department in the palace has also repeatedly confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor has expressed his intention of regretting his marriage more than once, if it were not for the bitter persuasion of the ceremonial supervisor Pan Yinglong and Empress Chen, I am afraid that Emperor Dingwu, who is quite impulsive, would have sent an edict to Zhenjiang a long time ago.

"As long as Your Highness lives up to the princess, Your Highness can rest assured."

Guo Zhiqi said that this matter was up to him and the emperor, as long as Zhou Shixiang was willing to get married. Zhou Shixiang didn't want his marriage to become a political bargaining chip, although he liked the "little mute" very much, and the issue of heirs was always a big problem. As Song Xianggong said, if Zhou Shixiang does not have a successor, it will be a very dangerous signal for the Taiping army.

No matter how majestic it is, without a successor, it will be empty after all, and there will be no peace even after death.

If Zhou Shixiang doesn't want everything he is working on now to collapse instantly because of his death and because he has no son, then he must get married immediately, marry a justifiable "master mother" and give birth to an heir who can reassure his subordinates.

Guo Zhiqi's support for restructuring is undoubtedly very important. Although Zhou Shixiang has the ability to bypass him and carry out restructuring by "force", it is very likely that this will evolve into a big drama of support.

The scene on the field of Jiangnan Army University, Zhou Shixiang did not think it was an accident, but an inevitability.

The investigation of the Military Intelligence Department showed that Luo Lun and others were not instructed by others, but this made Zhou Shixiang more aware that the "yellow robe" may no longer be something he can stop. With the expansion of the suppression of rebellion and the reorganization of the army, it is no longer possible to suppress the call of the army to claim the title of emperor.

If the proclamation of the emperor is conducive to the advancement of the country, Zhou Shixiang will not object. The reform of the court system is of course to expand the influence of the Taiping Army in the court and lay the foundation for the future of the country, but it is undeniable that this is also the system left by Zhou Shixiang for his descendants.

He created the system and will leave it to his successors. He didn't want his children and grandchildren to go to the guillotine one day, restricting the monarch's power, which was the security he left for future generations. As long as this system is in place, he doesn't have to worry that his children and grandchildren will be hot-headed and want to be in power.

Zhou Shixiang promised Guo Zhiqi that as long as Emperor Dingwu agreed, he would enter Beijing to marry the eldest princess at the beginning of next month.
