Chapter 314: Grace [Three Watches]
(
After the gun dance, those preparatory students from Beizhili performed the knife dance and shield dance one after another, and played a set of boxing techniques used to strengthen the body, which was strong and powerful, full of momentum, and won the warm applause of the ministers at the scene.
After reviewing those preparatory students, Emperor Xuande asked Jin Ying to issue an edict and awarded King Fu and Li Yuntian the seal letter of the martial arts hall, the seal letter of the king of Fu is the secretary of the martial arts hall, and the seal letter of Li Yuntian is the chief instructor of the martial arts hall.
This means that Li Yuntian, in addition to the supervision of the imperial history of the Huguang Dao of the Ducha Yuan and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, has a third position, the chief instructor of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
Not only that, Li Yuntian also has a title in the military cabinet and is also in charge of the military cabinet.
Because the word "palm" is on the title, it means that although Li Yuntian does not serve in the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division, he can handle the affairs of the Wuju Hall as the head of the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division.
After the military department was merged into the military cabinet, the various departments under it basically did not change, but the top boss became a member of the military cabinet from the original Shangshu and Shilang.
The only difference is that the Wuxuan Qing Officials Division has set up a brand-new Yamen Wuju Hall, which will be responsible for the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
According to the level of the Wuju Hall, the official in charge of this matter is the head of Zheng Liupin, but the Wuxuan Qing Officials Department did not appoint the head of the Wuju Hall, which means that this position is vacant, and the person in charge of the Wuju Hall has actually become Li Yuntian.
Although the Wuju Hall was established after the military department was merged into the military cabinet, the officials of the Wuju Hall had already been determined by Li Yuntian a few years ago, so the officials of the Wuju Hall also devoted themselves to the preparation and operation of the affairs of the Wuju Enke in the south and north, and played an important role.

Since there is no director in the Wuju Hall, a deputy director from Liupin manages the daily affairs and regularly reports to Li Yuntian on the progress of various affairs in the Wuju Hall.
The first task assigned by Li Yuntian to the Wuju Department was to assist the newly established Ministry of Agriculture in checking the land affairs of the Ming Dynasty and registering the results.
In the eyes of outsiders, the move of the Wuju Hall is completely full of food, and if it is too much, it is not even clear that it is not in its position and does not seek its own government.
This is good, all the officials of the Wuju Hall were sent by Li Yuntian to the two capitals and the thirteen political secretaries to check the land, and there was only one petty official left in the entire Wuju Hall who watched from the nine grades, which seemed deserted.
No one would have thought that Li Yuntian's move was to prepare for the compulsory military system in the future, and only by mastering the land situation of the whole country could he arrange fields for those retired soldiers. The update is the fastest and most stable
Since then, Li Yuntian's official position has undergone a heavy change, and before the establishment of the Jingshi Lecture Wutang, his official position was the supervision of the imperial history of Huguang Province, the director of the Shuji Shi and the Wuju Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of War.
After the establishment of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Li Yuntian's official position became the Huguang Provincial Supervision Imperial History, the chief instructor of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and the head of the Wuju Hall of the Military Pavilion.
Among them, the word "concurrently" is in front of Li Yuntian's actual position, and the word "concurrently" is followed by his title, because the word "concurrently" is followed by the word "palm", so he can handle the affairs of the Wuju Hall as the head of the Wuju Hall.
If an official has more than one office, the ranking of each position follows a descending order.
Taking Li Yuntian as an example, among his three actual positions, Huguang Dao had the heaviest position of supervising the imperial history, ranking first, the chief instructor of the Jingshi Lecture Wutang ranked second, and Shu Jishi ranked last.
It stands to reason that Shu Jishi is employed in the Hanlin Academy, and should be ranked in front of the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, but the Shu Jishi is not a position of the Hanlin Academy, but is similar to the students of the Hanlin Academy, not the real Hanlin Academy, and there is no grade, so it is ranked last.
After giving the seal letter, Jin Ying asked several guards to bring a huge gilded plaque, on which were written "Jingshi Lecture Wutang" five big characters, which were given to Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall by Emperor Xuande himself.
Li Yuntian will personally hang this plaque in the main hall of the lecture hall to be the treasure of the town hall of the Jingshi lecture hall.
Subsequently, Jin Ying read out a decree of Emperor Xuande in public, the nobles of the capital and the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the county in Beijing, regardless of their descendants and concubines, can let a descendant enter the Jingshi Wutang without examination.
As soon as this holy decree came out, the civil and military ministers on the scene were all taken aback, and they were surprised by Emperor Xuande's decision. [31115671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 311 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 314
Because Emperor Yongle has abolished the rule that the clan can be an official in order to combat the power of the vassal king, even King Fu, who is the order of the sect, only has a title in the Zongren Mansion, and the actual power is attributed to the Ministry of Rites.
For King Fu, the position of Jingshi Jiangwutang Sitang should have been a fictitious position, but with Emperor Xuande's decree, King Fu will implement his duties and powers in Jiangwutang, and sit in Jiangwutang to coerce those clans and noble children.
This holy decree was naturally Li Yuntian's idea, and in addition to the nobles, he persuaded Emperor Xuande to let the princes of various places and the children of the county kings in Beijing enter the lecture hall.
After Yongle, the Ming clan was subject to many restrictions, such as not being allowed to pre-empt the business of the four people, the official will never be extinguished, the farmers and merchants will not be connected, and they cannot leave the fiefdom without an edict, etc.
Even the naming and marriage were strictly restricted, and without the emperor's permission, the children of the vassal kings could only be called by the name "milk" and were not allowed to marry.
Because of the deprivation of the military power and political power of those vassal kings, the Yongle Emperor gave those vassal princes and brothers rich economic treatment, not only the routine of the Lu but also a large number of rewards every year, which cost a lot.
In this way, the children of the Ming clan have become a parasitic class who are not farmers, eat people's fat, and are under house arrest in the fiefdom.
There is no doubt that the comfortable life has made the population of the children of the clans in various places grow rapidly, and the children and grandchildren are prosperous, and the annual taxes of the Ming Dynasty are limited, and these children of the clan will bring huge hidden dangers to the Ming finances.
Although Emperor Yongle pushed for the reduction of the feudal domain and cut off the military power and political power of the vassal kings except for his own sons King Han and King Zhao, Li Yuntian believed that Emperor Hongwu was not wrong to use the idea of the central part of the feudal domain.
Because the children of the imperial family were an important force for the emperor to fight against foreign ministers, it was only Emperor Hongwu who gave those vassal kings too much power, so that those vassal kings were able to stand on their own against the central government.
In addition, since the Yongle Emperor cut the feudal domain, the feudal clans in various places have fallen into arrogance and "lewdness", not only consuming a large amount of finance every year, but also because the Yongle Emperor adopted a tolerant attitude towards the children of the clan, they bullied people in the fiefdom, wantonly annexed the people's land, and strictly disturbed the local public order.
Li Yuntian had already noticed this problem, so he took advantage of the establishment of the Jingshi Lecture Wutang to advise Emperor Xuande, pointing out that if the existing system of the children of the royal family was followed, after a hundred years, not only the children of the clan would become a heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty's taxes, but also the contradictions between the children of the clan and the commoners.
Therefore, under Li Yuntian's suggestion, Emperor Xuande's policy towards the imperial family was slightly changed, allowing some children of the imperial family to enter the military and serve as military attachés of the new army after graduating from the martial arts, trying to solve the hidden dangers brought by the children of the clan to the Ming Dynasty.
For the children of the Daming Sect, Emperor Xuande's decree is undoubtedly a rain from heaven, so that they can see the hope of entering the office, and they no longer have to eat and wait for death in the fiefdom.
Therefore, in addition to the King of Han, the princes of various places responded positively to this, and sent their sons-in-law or grandsons other than the prince to lecture in the martial arts hall to be taught.
Although these sons-in-law and grandsons have the title of county king or general of the town state, and their status is noble, they have no real power and cannot leave the fiefdom.
And the reaction of the nobles was a little cold, after all, their children can all accept military positions, and it is not uncommon for them to enter the martial arts hall at all.
However, since Emperor Xuande deliberately made a decree, most of the nobles still have to give Emperor Xuande this face, except for Zhang Hao and Niu Shihao and other nobles who are good with Zhou Zheng sent their sons-in-law, the rest of them are concubines.
There are also people who did not receive Emperor Xuande's kindness, because Emperor Xuande's edict did not explicitly order every nobleman to send his children into the lecture hall, and for various other reasons, Lu Zhongqian, Feng Chang'an, Gong Kui and other nobles who had close contacts with the king of Han did not send their children into the lecture hall.
According to Li Yuntian's setting, the number of children of the royal family and nobles entering the lecture hall every year is a certain number, and the number of nobles, the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the county in Beijing is counted.
Among them, if there are nobles who do not send their children into the martial arts hall, then the vacant places will be sent by other nobles to conduct literary and martial arts examinations, and they will be supplemented according to the comprehensive results from high to low.
If there is a shortage in the number of children of the royal family, it will also be supplemented according to the same process, and high-quality talents will be selected as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that, unlike the Guozijian, those nobles and the children of the royal family do not have privileges in the martial arts hall, and they will be mixed with those students who have passed the guò martial arts examination to enter the hall, and they will be together in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Moreover, once the royal family and the children of the nobles violate the rules and regulations of the martial arts hall, or the annual assessment does not meet a certain standard, then they will also be removed from the martial arts hall like those martial arts students.
Unlike the martial arts students, Li Yuntian gave those royal families and nobles a privilege, that is, when a disciple was removed from the martial arts hall, another disciple could be selected to enter the martial arts hall to replace him.
If the replacement person can't meet the standard, then it's a pity that he can only be completely removed from the martial arts hall.
What Li Yuntian needs is for these royal families and noble sons to serve the Ming Dynasty, instead of living in the martial arts hall, which is also the most important reason why King Fu sits in the martial arts hall.
Once those nobles and the children of the royal family meet the criteria for being removed, then they will be removed from the list with the seal of King Fu, so that those people will not dare to cause trouble.
As for the content of each assessment, Li Yuntian has also formulated a detailed plan, and all assessments are scored by a point system.
In this way, the level of the students' assessment scores must completely rely on their own strength, and the instructors, including Li Yuntian, will score according to the relevant standards, so as to avoid mixing personal emotional factors in it, so that the students can be convinced
