Chapter 50 Cut off the stirrup and leave the whip, the sun is at its peak(1/4)

June 20th.

Grand Master, Shangzhu Kingdom, Ding'anbo, Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace, Gong said that he was ill and could not go to court.

Emperor, the two palaces sent imperial doctors to visit you, thank you, and say that you are old and weak, and spring and Autumn are normal, please let me go.

The emperor felt sorry for Gao Gong's heavy affairs, so he discussed the cabinet together.

He removed Gao Gong from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and asked Gao Gong to live a good life and cultivate himself.

On the same day, due to the heavy workload of the cabinet, an envoy was sent to recall Gaoyi, the great scholar from Xiu Mu, who was out of town, and ordered him to return to the cabinet immediately to handle matters.

At the cabinet meeting, Lu Shusheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

On the advice of the great scholar Zhang Juzheng, he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Shen Shixing, and became the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

With the proposal of Gaoyi, a bachelor, he was reinstated, and Wen Chun, the former chief secretary of Huguang, joined the government from the left and became the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

On that day, the left governor Wu Jinbo Zhu Chengxun, who was in charge of the affairs of the central military governor's office, died of a long illness.

The emperor convened with the cabinet at noon and held a meeting with three bachelors, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Yi and Lu Tiaoyang.

Gu Huan, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was reinstated and took charge of the affairs of the military governor's office.

June 21st.

In charge of the affairs of the central military governor's office, the right governor, Ningyang Marquis Chen Daji, died.

From the great scholar Yang Boyi, Huo Ji, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, was restored as the censor of the right capital, overseeing the affairs of the capital camp and the governor of the five armies.

When the edict arrived, he immediately left Shanxi for Beijing.

In addition, he was promoted to the official position of Zhan Shifu and served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Ma Ziqiang became the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and assisted Zhang Sixiu, the minister, to write the Shizong Records.

On the same day, the Ministry of Rites held a meeting and the Cabinet held a meeting and reported that the two palaces were so generous in their benevolence and virtues that there was no difference between them. How could there be any difference in the respect of the etiquette? She should be given the title of Empress Dowager Li.

The emperor was moved by his filial piety and respected his biological mother as the empress dowager, the compassionate and holy empress dowager.

He also gave Li Yin and old belongings from the Emperor's East Palace to Princess Yanqing.

June 22nd.

On that day, the grand master went to Shangzhu State to Ding'an Bo. Gong, the great scholar of Zhongji Hall, was seriously ill and could not do anything.

Shangshu asked the emperor to clear the way for speech, and opened the door for the saints to listen, so as to honor the late emperor's legacy.

Several people were recommended, among which Hai Rui, the censor of the capital of Youqian, who had returned to the throne, attracted the most attention.

The emperor readily agreed and made a court meeting, but most of the court officials refused to agree and the court meeting failed.

On the same day, the great scholar went to the temple and went up to beg.

The emperor, the two palaces, stayed in the center but did not make any progress.

The cabinet held another meeting in the afternoon and decided to reinstate Hai Rui and promote him to the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu.

The emperor encouraged him to follow.

June 23rd.

It was exactly twenty-seven days since the death of the late emperor.

At the same time, it also means that the days of observing filial piety for the previous emperor and father are over.

On that day, the Emperor Xuanzhi went to the gate to watch the affairs, and all the officials thanked and bestowed the imperial edict, and all officials were dismissed.

The king of Korea, Li Huo, sent his companions to pay tribute to Cao Shenban, Pu Minxian and others, who were among thirty-eight people to express their gratitude; Duo Gansi, Xuanweisi, Fanseng Lamawen and others, a total of sixteen people, paid tribute, and all of them were rewarded with lavish gifts such as

example.

After that, the emperor began to wear a fine crown, linen robe, and waistband, and rewarded his ministers with melons and fruits.

After the meeting, it stands to reason that Zhu Yijun would either go to Japan to give a lecture or hold a court meeting.

But now that the matter has been settled, there is no need to go to court and sit and suffer.

Just hold a small meeting if something happens - suddenly I understand Sejong a little bit.

As for the daily lectures, because of the Sutra feast, the daily lecture officials also need to be re-selected.

In some days, the officials who lectured for the prince might have enough qualifications, but now that the prince has ascended to power and selected the emperor to lecture, someone should move his position.

Of course, he was not completely fine.

Because, after the filial piety period is over, the study of imperial archery will have to be restarted.

Although it was supposed to start in the afternoon, Zhu Yijun arrived at the school grounds early.

It is said to be a school ground, but it is actually a large flat land outside Jingyun Gate.

When Zhu Yijun arrived, Jiang Keqian and Gu Chengguang had already put on their armor and were waiting at the spot.

The two of them are now regarded as close guards. If the emperor wants to guard the archery, he naturally needs to be accompanied.

In addition to the two of them, there are also some young men who were selected from the Jingwei martial arts school.

Well, of course the selection is not based on martial arts, but on family background.

But at least the one who can be chosen to be in front of the emperor is not too weak or stupid.

If your basic qualities are not good enough and you are disgusted, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Zhu Yijun signaled to irrelevant people not to approach, and then walked towards Jiang Keqian and Gu Chengguang.

He looked at the two of them curiously: "Why are you just waiting? You have nothing to do, why don't you two try it out to open my eyes?"

Jin Yiwei's tricks and other tricks are very interesting to listen to. I only saw them on TV in my previous life, but now I naturally want to get addicted to them.

I just don’t know which one of these two is more handsome.

But Jiang Keqian smiled bitterly and apologized: "Your Majesty, Gu has commanded me on the battlefield. I am afraid I cannot bear two or three punches from him."

Zhu Yijun shook his head in disappointment.

Sure enough, my cousin Xungui can only do engineering work and bully corrupt officials. If she really wants to use her real seal, it depends on Wu Xun.

He picked up a big bow and pulled it tentatively: "Gu Qing, have you really been on the battlefield, or are you planning on the rear with Marquis Zhenyuan?"

After suppressing the high arch, Zhu Yijun spoke much more casually.

Out of curiosity, I asked casually.

Although Gu Chengguang is Gu Huan's nephew and is considered a rookie, he is still in his forties now.

With broad shoulders and thick legs, he looks very powerful, like Wu Song in old TV.

After hearing this, he said with some restraint: "When my uncle was the admiral of Guangdong and Guangxi, he took his ministers to the battlefield and charged several times with the Chinese army. No gains were made, but blood was seen."

Zhu Yijun glanced at him in surprise.

I didn’t expect that I had actually been on the battlefield, I thought I was just brushing up my resume.

He put down the big bow that was motionless in his hand and picked a smaller one.

He ignored this matter and asked again: "What did he say about the matter I entrusted to Marquis Zhenyuan?"

Gu Chengguang was about to bow to answer, but Zhu Yijun stopped him: "Don't do this when you're in school, just say it."

When the emperor has spoken, the ministers will naturally follow his instructions.

Gu Chengguang replied directly: "Uncle said that he does have some wealth, but the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion..."

Zhu Yijun interrupted directly and said: "For the time being, when our emperor is admitted and buried and awarded a reward in August, I will let him regain control of the capital camp."

The governor's mansion and the guard post of the Fifth Army are in such a state of ruin.

Sooner or later, we will have to tear everything down and start over again, and there is no need to patch things up now.

On the contrary, it is the Beijing Camp, which has real military power after all.

However, Gu Chengguang was still a little embarrassed: "Then we can train at most 200 elite soldiers for His Majesty."

So few?

Zhu Yijun frowned: "There is no need to use all the private soldiers of Zhenyuan Marquis to set up a show. The rest can be used by people from the Beijing camp."

"At that time, there will be a separate camp."

Private soldiers are naturally illegal, but discussing this in the Ming Dynasty is a bit funny.

Every famous general has more or less private soldiers under his command, but the specific number varies.

They are all like this, from the county magistrate Qian Zong to the Li Jiajun and Qi Jiajun.

This is also based on national conditions.

The pay you owe to the imperial court is calculated on an annual basis. A regular army that does not receive pay has no fighting capacity.

If you want to do something, you naturally have to find another way.

One is the mercenaries, who are mostly seen in the guest armies of Shaomin.

The second one is naturally a private soldier.

He wants to reorganize the capital camp, which will not happen overnight.
