Chapter 88 A group of losers pay homage to the general (400 orders for additional updates)
After the salute, Zhu Hui and others noticed that His Majesty seemed to be in a bad mood.
The original anticipation and excitement immediately subsided and became uneasy.
It seems that you and others have done nothing wrong recently?
Each family is also trying its best to eliminate and make up for the dirty things.
We will never dare to block the slightest bit of His Majesty's new policy.
"You seemed to be in a very happy mood just now."
Zhu Houzhao stood with his hands on his hips and stared at the twenty or so people, becoming more and more angry as he looked at them.
A bunch of incompetent people.
“Do you think that since the military pavilion was established, I called you here to arrange positions for you?
So everyone is very happy. "Zhu Houzhao's voice gradually became louder and louder.
Except for a few of them, their bodies softened and they knelt down.
There was no resistance at all to the Ming Emperor at this time.
The few naturally knelt down.
"Get up. Zhu Houzhao became even more angry and scolded: "Are my Duke and Uncle Hou of the Ming Dynasty so weak in their legs?"
Before I said anything, I knelt down.
You are like this, do you still want to be the governor and restore the glory of the noble generals? "
Mu Kun knew his majesty best and stood up immediately.
The others had to stand up and lowered their heads respectfully, as if they were being scolded.
"You~"
Zhu Houzhao pointed at them angrily, took two steps back and forth, and was about to reprimand and say something when he suddenly said: "Mu Kun, stand aside."
Mu Kun obediently walked aside.
“Look at your appearance, can you afford the Ming Dynasty’s millions of troops?
This is a disgrace to the people of my Ming Dynasty and to the people of your ancestors.
< br>You still want to be the governor?
No way, I tell you, my Grand Governor is capable of commanding an army to destroy a country, and he will never use incompetent people as an excuse. "
Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly, without giving any face to these nobles who were aloof and accustomed to wealth.
These nobles, whose average age was forty or fifty years old, did not have any anger at all. At best, they were ashamed, and they all knelt down again.
"Your Majesty, please punish me for your incompetence. ”
Seeing that they would only kneel down to ask for punishment, Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help laughing angrily.
"Okay, I think you are all useless now, let's train the next generation.
From today on, all members of the distinguished family who are over fifteen years old will join the Martial Emperor's Dragon Cavalry and train as new recruits.
I tell you, no, I warn you.
If those so-called noble disciples cannot persist in the training of Emperor Wu's Dragon Riders, then let them all die.
< br>I, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, must not be trash.”
Zhu Houzhao's loud shout spread far and wide.
Zhu Hui and others were all greatly frightened, and many of them were trembling all over. They were truly frightened.
They suddenly realized that His Majesty’s dissatisfaction with the nobles might have reached an extreme level.
The establishment of military pavilions and the restoration of the status and glory of generals have nothing to do with them.
Their status as nobles cannot gain favor from His Majesty, only their strength can.
The only thing that comforts most nobles is that their next generation has already been with His Majesty, and now they have all joined the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry.
There is a successor.
Those who do not have the next generation to join the Martial Emperor’s Dragon Riders are even more frightened.
If no one can satisfy His Majesty, he will not be expelled, right?
The nobles left dejectedly and a little lost.
This incident spread quickly.
It was Zhu Houzhao’s intention.
Suddenly, the arrogance and arrogance that the honorable nobles had gained in recent days were suppressed.
The civil servants felt much better after seeing the joke.
Your Majesty is not harsh on civil servants, but he is harsh on everyone.
Even Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others felt a little relieved.
It seems that His Majesty really has no objections to civil servants, but to all incompetent people.
Think about the achievements that were made when dealing with Liu Daxia that day, which was both illegal and illegal, including corruption and bribery.
And the nobles who were scolded bloody and like trash.
They understand clearly that His Majesty has only one purpose, to make Ming Dynasty better and stronger.
Many officials saw this, and some people with lofty ideals felt excited.
The overall panic among the civil servants has calmed down a bit.
As for Xungui’s feelings after being scolded, it’s okay not to mention it.
At this time, they were more obedient than puppies, and their obedience made Zhu Houzhao uncomfortable.
I wish I could let the noble disciples of Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry directly inherit the title.
But those noble children are too young, so it still won't work.
In addition to these, some civil servants are proud.
Your Majesty wants to raise generals, but those nobles are useless.
To set up a military cabinet, it seems that even a candidate for the Grand Governor cannot be found.
It also depends on their civil servants.
A few barely qualified civil servants were also moved.
No matter what, it is true that the Military Pavilion has a high position and authority.
In the future, the status of military generals in the Ming Dynasty will definitely be improved, and it would not be bad to be a governor.
Even Liu Jian and others began to wonder whether they should recommend people.
The angry Zhu Houzhao was angry for another day, until Wang Shouren came to report something. Zhu Houzhao was slightly startled, then looked at Wang Shouren thoughtfully.
Wang Shouren was looked at and felt a little unnatural, so he asked: "Your Majesty, is something wrong with you?"
"Old Wang, do you want a general?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were bright and he was looking forward to it. road.
Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment and thought of a possibility. Even with his temperament, he was a little shocked at this time.
After pondering for a moment, he said in a solemn voice: "What does your Majesty mean?"
"Old Wang, just ask, do you want a general?" The more Zhu Houzhao said, the more feasible it became. He said happily: "As long as you say you want it, I will give it to you."
"Your Majesty is talking about the military cabinet general. The position of governor?" Wang Shouren asked solemnly.
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao nodded, feeling that his anger these days had disappeared, and stood up happily and said: "I have seen all the nobles and generals in the Ming Dynasty, and none of them can hold the position of governor. .
I must not rely on incompetent people, otherwise the whole army will not be completed.
But you can do it, Lao Wang.
You know how to lead troops to fight, organize and manage the army, and you will do well in the Kingdom of Jin.
Those Kinnus were all made obedient by you.
And you are strong enough to overwhelm the soldiers.
Other civil servants cannot organize the army, but you, Lao Wang, can definitely do it.
Reorganizing the Ming Dynasty's army involves all aspects. I'm afraid you are more suitable than a dedicated general.
Lao Wang, you should be the first military governor. "
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Shouren's response, Zhu Houzhao's smile disappeared again, and he said seriously: "But if you become the military governor, you can no longer be a civil servant.
From now on you will all be military commanders.
Because only by separation and concentration of military and political affairs can the most powerful army be trained. "
"Your Majesty, I don't care whether you are a civil servant or a military commander.
But I cannot be the governor now. "
Wang Shouren, who deeply felt Zhu Houzhao's trust, suppressed the heat in his heart and said calmly and seriously.
"Why? "Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Pavilion is the first grade, the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty military generals.
I am now just the censor of the left deputy capital, and I have not achieved any great achievements.
How can your minister, He De, serve as the first-rank military governor?
If you become a minister, it will only make all the officials dissatisfied, including the nobles and soldiers. "Wang Shouren said seriously.
"Don't accept it? Who dares to dissent? "When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly: "Old Wang, if I say you can do it, then you can definitely do it. No one can stop me.
What's more, among the hundreds of officials, what can the civil officials do if they don't accept it?
With the separation of military and political affairs, they can’t get in the way.
As for the nobles, officers and soldiers, well, they have been ruled by civilian officials for so many years, what else can they be dissatisfied with?
Whoever is dissatisfied can just go and give him a beating. "
"But Your Majesty, you want to separate the military and political affairs and create the most dedicated and powerful army.
But Chen is a civil servant after all, and reorganizing the Ming army may not leave a bad impact. "Wang Shouren still shook his head and said.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, you will be a general from now on.
With your strength, who dares not to regard you as a general?
As time goes by, the soldiers will naturally think that you are a general.
And aren’t there some Confucian generals?
I believe that you, Lao Wang, can do a good job and create the most powerful Ming army for me. "Zhu Houzhao laughed and said with trust.
He knew that he had his first general.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's trust, Wang Shouren could no longer suppress the heat in his heart.
Take a breath, bow your head, and salute solemnly: "I will never be honored by your majesty."
"Okay, Old Wang, you said that in ancient times, emperors paid homage to your Majesty. General.
Tomorrow morning, I will publicly worship Lao Wang as my general." Zhu Houzhao said proudly.
Wang Shouren's eyes felt a little sore.
The next day, the emperor finally held a morning court, and most of the officials were very happy.
Until they heard an extremely simple and vulgar, but almost earth-shattering imperial edict.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the edict said: Wang Shouren is powerful, proficient in military strategy, and is very powerful in leading the army.
I confer Wang Shouren as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Pavilion. I admire this."
The imperial edict in the style of Zhu Houzhao made the ministers know that it must have been written by His Majesty himself.
Then the whole court was shocked, almost unbelievable and unacceptable.
Wang Shouren is so virtuous that he can serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Pavilion.
That’s the real deal!
Civil officials, nobles, and generals all looked at Wang Shouren with questioning and dissatisfied eyes.
As for the culprit, of course no one dared to look at it.
"Your Majesty——"
"That's enough!"
A minister immediately tried to dissuade him, but was interrupted by Zhu Houzhao. He stood up and took the imperial edict from Liu Jin.
He said domineeringly and unquestionably: "I don't want to listen to any more nonsense advice or reasons.
Wang Shouren entered Taoism through literature and has the strength of a grand master level.
The battle to establish slaves in the Jin Kingdom also showed me powerful military capabilities.
No one in the civil and military dynasties can compare. "
"So, today I worship him as my great governor and great general, to help me rectify the millions of troops of the Ming Dynasty.
It doesn’t matter to me what you think, whether you are satisfied with it or not.
I am just telling you.
For me, seniority and age don't matter, ability is the most important.
Of course, merit is also important, but is there anyone in the Ming court who has enough merit to be my governor or general?
No.
None.
Let me choose directly from abilities.
It’s time for you all to reflect on yourselves, especially the nobles and generals. ”
