"Have you heard?
The emperor is going hunting?
” "I heard, hey, how many years has it been since I had this kind of thing, our emperor can really toss ......"
"According to the emperor's requirements, all civil and military ministers above the second rank must ride out of the city on horseback, and they are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs and carriages, how can those adults stand it......"
"This is not an isolated case, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, all the items in this year's imperial examination have been added, and the six arts have been added, if you can't ride and shoot, you will be directly eliminated from the top three, and now I don't know how many scholars are crazy practicing horseback riding, archery, and the price of these things on the market has increased several times......
"Many adults have written books, saying that Sven swept the floor, but was angrily reprimanded by Sun Gelao, the six arts of the gentleman, the words of the sage, how can they be tarnished, I am afraid that it will become a custom ......"
In some small class rooms of the Six Ministries and Nine Temples, various voices were whispered, all of which were reactions to the dynamics of the government and the opposition.
Seeing that August is approaching, the cabinet is also busy, especially after the summer harvest, the cabinet's government affairs are several times heavier.
Walking on the way out of the palace, Sun Chengzong accompanied Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, the 'military reform' has reached a stage, the overall situation has stabilized, and there is no major problem for the time being.
Cao Dadudu's army has arrived in Shaanxi and is participating in the suppression of bandits, and will go to Sichuan after a while to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Tusi, and the Shuaifu and the military department have sent people to observe ......"
Zhu Xu was wearing a single coat, trying his best to avoid the scorching sun in the shade, listening and nodding: "Observe carefully, do a good job of analyzing, summarizing, suggesting, and implementing, treat the army strictly, the rot of the guard is a profound lesson, we must learn and avoid ......"
Sun Chengzong listened to the response, and continued: "Dolgon has started a war against Siam, and he has lost many victories and won little, so he barely held on, and wrote to ask for the imperial court's assistance. ” Zhu Xu stopped in front of Donghua Gate, looked at the sun with a fan, and the stinging made him quickly retract his head, sneered, and said: "Dolgon is probably deliberate, one side is weak, and the other is gathering strength.
Stay in the middle, by the way, tell Nan Annan that this year's official tax collection, three buckets per mu, and the autumn harvest begins. ” Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's time to test Dolgon."
However, according to the courtier's intelligence, Siam's strength was very strong, and Dolgon may not be able to hold it. ” "Don't underestimate Dorgon."
Zhu Xu fanned the fan, looked out of the door, and said with a cold gaze: "Don't underestimate him at any time, I have a great use for raising him, but I don't allow him to go out of my circle!"
What you have to do must be done 100 percent, and there must be no chance that you will miscalculate. ” Sun Chengzong felt the seriousness of Zhu Xu's tone, and immediately said, "Yes." ” "What are your plans for the Navy?"
Zhu Xu stood in place, did not move, and then asked.
The navy is theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Office, but in fact it has always been in the hands of Zhu Xu and is not within the scope of this 'military reform'.
Sun Chengzong naturally knew this, but he did make some arrangements for the future.
He didn't hide it, the entire Shuai Mansion knew it, and Zhu Xu was naturally clear.
Sun Chengzong groaned and said, "Shuaifu means not moving for the time being, and then make arrangements when my situation improves." ” Zhu Xu expected this, paused for a moment, and said: "You all know the outside world, the ocean is so big, one navy is definitely not enough, the nature of the combined fleet still belongs to coastal defense, although it is expanding, but it is not a far-sea fleet, I plan to split the navy, divide it according to the ocean, and form multiple fleets to carry out ocean-going missions and safeguard the interests of my Ming Dynasty at sea......"
"Your Majesty, how much do you plan to expand?"
Sun Chengzong asked, a little cautious.
The investment of the navy is even more terrible than that of the army, and if you want to build a navy of 50,000 people, the investment is more than ten times that of the army!
This is undoubtedly an aggravation of the situation for the Daming treasury, which is now overwhelmed, and it is unbearable.
Zhu Xu didn't know what Sun Chengzong and the others thought, and said quietly: "Split the navy, but the number remains the same, how to split it, how to split it, you marshal's mansion will do it, and report it to me, by the way, the navy must also participate, and you can't blindly force it......"
Sun Chengzong's heart was relieved, and he said knowingly: "Yes, the minister understands." ” Zhu Xu looked up at the sky again and said, "How are the preparations for hunting?"
” Sun Chengzong said: "It's ready, you can get there in an hour out of the city, although it is a little deserted, but it can be repaired and can be used."
It is surrounded by nine sides on all sides, and the station has also been arranged, so that it will not disturb the nobles.
The list has been submitted, I don't know who else the emperor will add?
” Zhu Xu put the fan behind him, and after a while, he said, "There are ten places in the Political Academy, Song Yingxing, two professors, two doctors, and five students."
By the way, my sons will also go, and the specific process, you will optimize it and send it to the Qianqing Palace at night. ” Sun Chengzong has long known about Zhu Xu's 'martial heart', and it is still under control, so he didn't stop it, and said: "Yes, in addition, the minister also wants to ask for a few places, which are from the Military Academy." ” Zhu Xu glanced at Sun Chengzong, knew who he was talking about, nodded, and said, "Yes, all arrangements will be arranged, I want to see what talents are in the next generation of my Ming Dynasty." ” "Yes."
Sun Chengzong responded.
Zhu Xu fanned the fan and pondered: "You keep an eye on these things, I can rest assured."
By the way, the Wa Kingdom, the Southeast Peninsula continues to increase surveillance, I have informed Jinyiwei that before the end of the year, all military intelligence will be transferred to the Military Intelligence Department, you must take it seriously, if something goes wrong in the Shuai Mansion, I will consider taking back the Military Intelligence Department. ” Sun Chengzong's eyes were shocked, and if he moved, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ” Zhu Xu looked at the hot sun outside, and felt a little regretful in his heart, closed the fan, and said, "Okay, that's all, let's get busy." ” Sun Chengzong raised his hand and said, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu picked up the fan, walked out of the shade, and suddenly the hot sun shone on his whole body, and the whole person seemed to burn.
Cao Huachun followed behind and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has calculated that today's temperature is at least forty-two degrees, and the temperature on the street is even higher. ” Zhu Xu covered his head with a fan, exhaled, and said, "It's good to let them go to Yunwu Mountain, otherwise there will be a problem with the heat, and those adults in the outer court have no less ice charcoal, right?"
” "It's all very well-matched, but the weather is too hot, I'm afraid it's not comfortable, and the slave maid also heard that many people have suggested moving the capital and moving back to Nanjing."
Cao Huachun said cautiously.
The issue of moving the capital has never been cut off in the Ming Dynasty, and there are various reasons, but now that the slaves were built and Mongolia have been destroyed, there is no threat in the north, and it seems that the capital has no meaning in the north, and many people have written again and moved the capital back to Nanjing.
Among the pros and cons, some people can write dozens with a pen, sprinkle them with enthusiasm, and send them to the palace.
These voices have been particularly loud this year, and this summer is louder than ever. a
