.,

Emperor Hongzhi felt that he could no longer hold up his face.

It's like this every time, just teach you one sentence, and you have to reprimand ten sentences.

So Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help saying: "Oh, is that so? What's the matter?"

Zhu Houzhao said casually: "I took advantage of my father's absence... No, it was during the period when I supervised the country that I enacted a new law. In order to promote scientific research, I decided to set up academies of science in the army and in various provinces. Besides, On the basis of this Academy of Sciences, a school is set up, and everything is copied from Xishan Academy."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his face was gentle.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "My son is planning to set up a standing army again, and intends to let this standing army replace all the original guards. The emperor also knows that the previous guard system not only hurt military households, but also for the court. , Their battles are low and useless. Although the emperor has long thought of reform and abolition, he has not made up his mind. Isn't it because the standing army costs a lot? But now, the treasury's revenue is increasing every year, and the time is ripe, so , I have made up my mind on behalf of my father. The military academy in Xishan has thousands of prepared military officers, plus the capable military officers in the army, it is enough to set up an airs. Thirty-six navy and army horses. This first army horse was created by Erchen. The name has been thought up. It is called "Champion Guard". Once the first guard has been trained, the standing army can learn from it in the future, so... the new army can be regarded as a success."

standing army……

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his first reaction was that his heart was bleeding.

Although the previous Weisuo system had many disadvantages, there was one thing that was good, and that was to save money.

The imperial court only needs to take out the land to make them self-sufficient, and they can raise a large number of military horses. In normal times, they hardly need to pay a little money, but once it comes to wartime, the imperial court only needs to allocate some money and food to go into battle.

The combat effectiveness is poor, but it can't be cheap.

Although the imperial court is well aware of the shortcomings in this area, and has made some improvements to some military horses, especially the guards, but after all... it is still not thorough enough.

For example, the hereditary system of military officers, for example, most of the soldiers are drawn from military households, for example, they are equipped with some relatively new weapons.

This was Emperor Hongzhi's turnaround strategy. On the one hand, he used this to slowly reform, and on the other hand, he still wanted to save as much as he could.

But the prince, what he wants is to be reborn.

The monarch and his ministers, father and son, obviously have completely different views on this aspect.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that the roots of his teeth were a little sore, but...the pain is the pain, he did not blame Zhu Houzhao, it was just a different idea, but after all...the prince still did serious things.

Emperor Hongzhi eased his mood, and said: "It seems that your movement is not small. After all, you are the prince and imprisoned the country. Although you made a claim without authorization, you are still diligent in political affairs. You can handle this matter according to your discretion." That's it."

With his hands behind his back, he murmured in his heart that the imperial court did not rush to report such a big event, maybe... this is the new imperial edict issued by the crown prince, right?

Emperor Hongzhi had a gentle face. He was not afraid that Zhu Houzhao would do something wrong. After all, he was still there. He was afraid that the crown prince would not do things.

He felt a little warmer in his heart, and his eyes fell on Liu Jian and the others, but Liu Jian and the others looked ashamed.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled. After all, they still didn't think about it, but I did. There are some things, let the children and grandchildren do it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi didn't blame him, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately winked with Fang Jifan.

The two brothers have not seen each other for many days, and they seem to be more intimate.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately entered the palace, and fearing that Zhu Houzhao would be tired, he said, "Since you have already greeted him, it is considered your filial piety. You have worked hard these days, so go and rest."

Then he said to Fang Jifan: "Jifan, this journey is exhausting, you should also go and have a rest."

The two immediately ran away as if they had received an amnesty.

Although Emperor Hongzhi was sympathetic to the younger generation, he had just returned to the palace after all, and many things still needed to be sorted out, so he went to Fengtian Hall and summoned the cabinet and the six ministries to have an audience.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around, looking at these humerus ministers, except for Ouyang Zhi, the rest seemed to be hesitant to speak, and had something to say.

"The prince is quite peaceful these days, isn't there any trouble in the court?"

"Your Majesty..." Liu Jian immediately said with a painful expression on his face: "The old minister thinks...that it is inappropriate for the prince to build a new army, but it does not mean that the old minister does not know that the current military discipline has collapsed, and the court should not change its course and clean up the original. It's just... just... There are a few difficulties right now. First, what should the lineage military officers do if they train a new army? Second, the cost is too huge. I'm afraid that in the future, the national treasury will not be able to make ends meet. Now the treasury is finally a little bit surplus……"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly and said, "I can understand the thoughts of the Qing family, and I also think it is too much, but... since the crown prince supervises the country and has issued an imperial edict, how can he break his promise and become fat? The crown prince is also a king, if this Once you turn your back on his imperial edict, who will recognize the prince in the future? A gentleman says that a horse is hard to follow. This is the basic principle to win the trust of the people in the world. As for the treasury... don't worry about it for the time being, after all, he just built the first It’s just the army, I think it won’t be too much of a hindrance.”

"besides……

And..." Liu Jian looked worried for a long time.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Hey, Liu Qing's family, you need to understand that the crown prince has grown up, you can no longer treat him like a child."

"Your Majesty, but the old minister, I really can't vomit." Liu Jian coughed: "The crux of the problem is that the prince took advantage of this opportunity to train the new army and issued an edict...for himself...for himself... Some official positions."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

It seems... Emperor Hongzhi was not too surprised...

His own son seems to be a small official fan.

Well... Actually, it was a bit unexpected, at least Emperor Hongzhi didn't expect that the crown prince would come out like this when he was in prison.

"Seal what?"

"this……"

Liu Jian and all the ministers were silent.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his face: "Don't you dare to say it?"

Liu Jian said helplessly: "No, it's not, it's just... the old minister's memory is not very good, I can't remember it, please Your Majesty... the Imperial Academy will fetch the sealed imperial edict, and you will know it at a glance."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing who was at the side, and Xiao Jing understood: "Your maidservant, go to the East Pavilion now."

After a while, Xiao Jing arrived panting, holding a stack of imperial edicts...

This posture...

Emperor Hongzhi's eyeballs were about to fall off.

"read!"

"The prince is intelligent, literary and martial, and the virtuous princes of the past dynasties can't be in case. Today, the world has changed its course, which has never happened in a thousand years. The imperial edict said: The prince Zhu Houzhao is ordered to be the mighty and sacred governor of the new army, the father of the new army, The righteous father of the officers and soldiers, Duke Fang Jifan of the State of Qi, is gentle and respectful, and is an uncle. He also edicted: The prince studies the principles of science to benefit the world, and the prince Zhu Houzhao is the master of the Tianxia Research Institute. ..."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, his scalp became numb, and his whole body seemed to want to explode on the spot.

He took a deep breath, interrupted Xiao Jing and said, "That's all, right?"

"There are more..." Xiao Jing lengthened the ending, as if he was also hesitating whether he should report the truth, and finally, he said obediently: "A lot..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little stiff, and he frowned and said, "What else?"

"Some were appointed as master craftsmen, others were appointed as the governor of Spain, the governor of Portugal, and Korea and the Ryukyu countries..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Don't read it."

Xiao Jing immediately said: "The servant obeys the order."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian: "Has the imperial edict been issued?"

Liu Jian smiled wryly: "The old minister also wanted to argue with reason, but... everything was too sudden... Not only was it published, but early this morning, he even ordered a copy of the mansion report to be published."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also hesitating. Your Majesty is right. The crown prince is also the crown prince after all. The so-called king is not joking...but...other than that...His Royal Highness the crown prince has also added all his official positions to first rank..."

"What does it mean to add a first rank?" Emperor Hongzhi's face was livid.

Liu Jian said truthfully: "It means...he has to receive a salary, and the veterans have the final say. There are seventy-three official positions listed, and seventy-three first-rank salaries...The crown prince has ordered people from the East Palace to go to the Ministry of Households to hint, The salary will be paid at the end of the month, and you dare to owe the prince’s salary. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, will the common people still have a way of life in the future? If those unscrupulous merchants follow suit, it will be ruined.”

In Emperor Hongzhi's mind, he began to calculate crazily, how much is the monthly salary of this senior official.

"Besides that...there is Duke Qi... Duke Qi also has seventy-three salaries. Fortunately, his seventy-three are from the first rank."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

"Your Majesty, look..."

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly depressed, and sighed: "I don't have such a son."

Others, you look at me, I look at you, after hearing the words of the emperor, they are surprisingly happy. These days, the prince supervises the country, and everyone is really aggrieved.

But Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched slightly: "He is the prince...he is the prince of Jian Guo, public is public, private is private, what should be given, he is not worth a penny, let him do his job well, if he can't do things well, I will punish him." his salary."

What can be done?

Although he really doesn't want to admit that this is his son, but this is still his own flesh and blood after all.

Emperor Hongzhi is starting to worry again now. What the crown prince has done, if you say it's harmful, doesn't seem to be that big, but this guy...why is he so out of tune?
