At the next day's court meeting, those who stood close to the imperial court noticed that the saint seemed to have changed his appearance.But who dares to stare at a saint?But after returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the prince looked at the saint's beautiful beard and laughed in his heart.It's really good to be a relative in the next generation.

Jia Daishan watched the sage cut his beard and said with a smile, "The sage looks ten years younger today."

The elders of the pavilion, who have been with saints, monarchs and ministers for decades, all followed Jia Daishan's words and praised the saint for looking younger.

The sage stroked his short beard and laughed, "The grandson of the emperor is so quick that his beard hurts. I had to cut off the long beard that I managed to raise."

Speaking of the emperor's grandson, Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said, "Saint, when will the emperor's grandson's canonization ceremony be held?"

The sage was stunned for a moment. He originally said that he would be canonized after the acne breakout, but yesterday he hugged his grandson and hugged him softly, relying on him like a prince. He thought in his heart that he should be canonized sooner.

"Same as the prince, it should be one year old. The Ministry of Rites will make preparations and let Qin Tian choose the date."

Is that the thing about canonizing the emperor's grandson?

Now that the government and the public are singing and dancing, and the prince is not being canonized, the northwest and southwest are not stable, and the vassal kings are in chaos, and the sage must personally conquer.At that time, it was necessary for the sage to appoint his only legitimate son, and also the only son, as the prince to consolidate the foundation of the country.Is this grandson of the emperor determined to be the future heir to the throne just because he is the eldest grandson?Don't look at temperament, ability, or whether you can survive the acne?

The people in the cabinet looked at each other, and the old foxes knew in their hearts that once the grandson was settled, within ten or eight years, there would be something wrong with the crown prince and he might die.But the sage can bypass the prince and directly pass on to the grandson.The other princes don't have to think about the succession of the throne.

Zhang Taifu was happy, and Jia Daishan was happy. He established the emperor's grandson, which is only good for his family.

Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites felt that this was in line with the law of etiquette, although it was established a little earlier, the sage is willing.He responded loudly, promising that the Ministry of Rites would make good preparations.For ten months, I am not afraid that it will not be able to show the ability of the Ministry of Rites in the etiquette of canonizing the emperor's grandson.

If some people are happy about something, there will be people who are against it.The reason for the objection is nothing more than that his own children and grandchildren have not been able to have a good relationship with the prince.Just looking at the relationship between Jia Daishan and the sage, we can know the influence of the prince's accompanying reading on his official career.But no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he still waits for others to speak first, saying that the saint is in his prime, and if he is not busy setting up a grandson, he can naturally follow.But the cabinet ministers, no one is stupid.The sage originally followed the rules of etiquette, and because he loved his grandson, he could cut his beard. At this time, he said that he should wait until the acne breaks out, and then do the canonization ceremony. The implication is that the child may have acne when he is born. die?

That's not sincerely disgusting saints, to be a saint is to be a vegetarian!

After Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Justice left, everyone could see that the crown prince was still a saint's eyeball, which was untouchable.

No one took the lead to speak out against the matter of the emperor's grandson.The sage was very happy. He believed that if the cabinet ministers who did not speak out did not object, they agreed by default to what Qi Shangshu, Zhang Taifu and Jia Daishan said.Unanimously approved the most important thing inserted by Qi Shangshu, and the rest of the government affairs were nothing more than the routine summer tax and autumn.

Speaking of adding questions to Qiuwei, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry wanted to immediately change the proportion of the examination content, and immediately occupied half of the examination questions for the part of Gewu.After repeated discussions, the cabinet decided that water conservancy should be added first, and a little bit of law should also be added, which together accounted for [-]% of the total.They can be cabinet ministers, so they know that they can only read books and write beautiful articles, so they can only go to the Imperial Academy.There are other people with real skills in the government.

Jia Daishan asked whether he should consider starting the martial arts exam?Is it also like the imperial examination, fixed every three years, and the content of the exam, should we add some horse breeding, laws, etc. to the text paper of the military book test?

Jia Daishan mentioned one point, and the saint nodded slightly.

Finally, Taifu Zhang said: "The sage, Jia Shangshu, and ministers are all from Wenju. As the saying goes, every line is like a mountain. A sage knows about military affairs. It is not as good as the affairs of the Ministry of War. Let Jia Shangshu discuss in the Ministry of War, and then give the book to the saint?"

"Good. Duke Rong, as Zhang Taifu said, the Ministry of War has discussed it, let's submit the paper."

The small cabinet meeting after the court meeting went smoothly today.The prince routinely wrote and wrote, recording the speeches of the cabinet ministers.After the cabinet members left, the sage asked the prince what he thought of the martial arts.

"Father, my son doesn't know about military affairs. My son imagined out of thin air, if there are hundreds or thousands of households, half of them are from military examinations, and the implementation of military orders will definitely be better than those who can't read."

"Literacy in the military will take a few more years to see results."

"Father, why not set up a training school for low-ranking soldiers."

The sage knew that the prince had a new idea, he looked at the prince gently, and waited for the prince to continue.

"My son thinks that the corporal commanders and ten commanders in the army are the most basic. If the best of these people are selected to study for 3 to 6 months, when they become hundred commanders and hundred households , can not only understand the soldiers below, but also understand the orders of the generals above. Strict implementation of military orders can only be beneficial."

"Chengxian, what are you going to let them learn?"

"Well... First, you must first establish a firm idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism."

The sage waited appreciatively for the prince to continue.

"Second," the crown prince smiled, and leaned into the saint's ear and said, "Father, the second is that soldiers can only be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They must be loyal to the royal family, not to the general who leads the army."

The saint's eyes widened.

"The third border guard is to protect the family first and then the country. Without the country, the family cannot survive."

The prince laughed and added the last sentence, "The rest are all studying, so let those old generals who are retired to teach the art of war. Father is the head of the martial arts hall, and those who leave the martial arts hall are all disciples of the emperor. As for Those selected in the martial arts examination must also study in the martial arts hall for a period, and then they will be assigned."

The sage is silent, if the soldiers' thoughts can be stabilized to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, then they will not encounter weak descendants who ascend to the throne, and repeat the old pattern of being overthrown by important ministers.

Moreover, there is no need to worry anymore, soldiers are controlled by generals, especially low-level soldiers.By the way, the focus is on the generals at the middle and lower levels.

"Chengxian, those middle-level generals, it seems that they should, no, they should come to the martial arts hall to learn."

"Father, those who won the martial arts exams can go to the Yanwu Hall to learn before they can go to the army to be the commander-in-chief. My son wondered, should those honorable children also study in the Yanwu Hall for a few years. Wait for the exam Only those who are qualified can enter the barracks. Instead of relying on the merits of the seniors, you can directly enter the barracks as a general?"

The saint nodded frequently.

"For 20 years like this, the middle-level generals are all disciples of the Emperor who were born in the Yanwu Hall. The lower-level corporal chiefs and others, every month and month, come to the Yanwu Hall to study, and there will always be someone who can climb to the middle level."

The sage raised his hand to twirl his long beard, but he missed it all of a sudden, and was stunned for a moment, forgetting that his beautiful beard and long beard had already been cut off.

The prince picked up the saint's teacup and handed it to the saint.

"Father, the army is stable, so we can march north."

The saint nodded and said yes, now that the prince has proposed this martial arts hall, the saint knows that there is a lot to do in this martial arts hall.Holding the teacup, he scratched the lid quickly, thinking about what to do so that the Martial Arts Hall could play its greatest role.

As for the originally planned expedition to the Northwest this year, he decided to wait.Wait for Dai Zi's continuous gun, and the mortar mentioned by the prince.Now we should add Yanwu Hall.The army has been pruned and sharp weapons have been obtained. With these few things, the goal of teaching the Tatars a lesson will be achieved, and the military defense in the northwest will be re-deployed properly, so that the Tatars will not dare to invade the border again for ten years.

"Chengxian, look at this matter, who will do it well? Rong Guogong?"

"Liu Guogong is fine too. Putting all eggs in one basket always makes people feel uneasy."

The saint didn't expect the crown prince to say that, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Enhou and you are pretty good."

"That's right. The minister there can't do everything, so I leave it to Rongguo Mansion. A few days ago, the father taught his son."

The sage coughed, "Chengxian, how about you do it?"

The crown prince shook his head, "Father, my son and minister are lacking in skills, so let's do the work of the Ministry of Industry first."

The saint only felt that his heart fell to the ground smoothly after a flick.He didn't know why he felt this way.Looking at his tall and tall son beside him, he felt old for the first time.

"Father, are you thinking..." Seeing the sage frowning at him, the prince seemed a little depressed.

"Chengxian, father is getting old." The saint was full of emotion.

The prince looked at the saint up and down for a long time, and the saint became a little hairy.The prince looked down upon the saint.

Fang smiled and said, "Father, if you shave off your beard and go for a walk in the downtown area with your son, people who don't know you won't think we are father and son."

The saint was a little suspicious of the prince's words, "Really?"

"If father doesn't believe it, let's go out and have a look?"

The sage laughed, and immediately forgot the original intention of his question, "Does Chengxian want to go out of the palace?"

The prince shook his head and smiled, he only went to Huangzhuang a few days ago.What's so good about going out of the palace? Too many places are dirty, chaotic, and poor at the fringe of urban and rural areas.

The crown prince sat back at the head of the imperial case, and counted the total number of books that the servant had just sent over, sorted them by category, and then picked out the urgent and important things, and read them first.

In the Rongguo mansion, Duke Rong started the first day of detoxification treatment.

The high court sentenced these drug boys to boil a large pot of thick medicinal juice in the kitchen of Rongguo Mansion, and then poured it into a wooden bathtub.A high stool was placed in the bucket, and Jia Daishan was asked to carefully sit on the high stool for fumigation.After the temperature of the concoction drops, sit in the bathtub and soak until the concoction becomes warm.

After half an hour, Jia Daishan felt that he smelled like medicine inside and out.

While giving Jia Daishan an injection, the high court said to him: "Mr. Rong, during the detoxification period, you must abstain from alcohol, sex, and meat. Avoid getting angry."

Jia Daishan sweated a lot and felt quite relaxed.Hearing what the high court judge said, he lay down on the couch and laughed.

"Then I might as well serve the Buddha."

"What Rong Guogong said is true. If you can serve the Buddha for a while, you won't dare to say that you will live a long life in the future. You can count on 70 years old. Otherwise, it will be the rest of your life in ten or eight years."

Jia Daishan knew that the high court sentenced this person not to lie, so he kept saying yes.I thank the prince in my heart, I asked the high court to give the saint a pulse diagnosis yesterday, and I also got this chance to detoxify and renew my life by the way.
