Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Hearing Sheng An's voice, Ming Tan hurriedly held up the wat board upright, and looked up the steps.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting calmly on the dragon chair, with a majestic and dignified demeanor all around him. With just one look, the originally noisy Tai Chi Hall was suddenly silent.

However, when his eyes fell on his daughter's face, he suddenly softened a lot, and even slightly nodded at the nervous Ming Tan, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"My dear friends, let's play something."

"——Report to Your Majesty!"

Almost as soon as the emperor finished speaking, Dai Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Geng Jing, the commander of the Imperial Army in Beijing, went up to play a few days ago, saying that the military discipline in the army has been unstable recently, and many soldiers are listless and exhausted. ; There are more than a dozen people who have been on leave for days, and even the formation that they practice on weekdays cannot be maintained..."

"Commander Geng is a man who loves soldiers like children. After learning about this, he immediately led the doctors to investigate one by one, and found that the soldiers who asked for leave were all caused by severe pain in the waist and legs and unbearable swelling. What's more, , I also developed symptoms such as numbness and weakness in my limbs, and I really couldn't continue to practice with the army, so I had to rest for days."

"Due to the large number of sick people, the training effectiveness of the Forbidden Army has been greatly affected. Commander Geng suspects that it may be because the training method is too strict, so I asked the old minister to hurry up and ask His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the military regulations of the Forbidden Army. Let's see if we can improve this - otherwise, if things go on like this, once the Imperial Army's strength weakens, there will be endless troubles!"

After his long speech, many officials were terrified.

They are all Beijing officials living at the root of the imperial city, and their family members are all here, so they must not be ignored.But if there is a problem with the Forbidden Army guarding the safety of this side, what will happen?

However, amidst the uproar in the hall, the emperor frowned slightly, and thought: "The military regulations and training methods of the Imperial Army follow the ancestral system, and there have been no problems for decades, why now..."

"According to Commander Geng, as early as a few years ago, soldiers in the Forbidden Army repeatedly complained that the training was difficult."

Dai Liang also seemed to be hesitant, paused, and then slowly said: "However, the old minister is a martial artist who returned to Beijing from the border, but he has never seen the strictness of the performance of the forbidden army... "

The minister of the Ministry of War was frowning, and the emperor remained silent for a long time. Ming Tan looked around subconsciously, and saw that no one seemed to have the intention of going out, so he bit his lips, took a step forward, and said: "Report to the emperor , I have something to say."

At this moment, the eyes of all civil and military officials fell on her with a "shua", and they looked at each other in shock.

Alas!

This is a matter of war, and even His Majesty dare not talk about it casually. What can the Ninth Princess, a girl who grew up in the deep palace, understand!

There are also people with quick brains, who immediately reacted, pouted their mouths at the slender figure in front, and sneered silently: I am afraid that I can only go to court once in this life, so I want to show off in front of Your Majesty.

Oh--

Everyone was awakened by his eyes, and suddenly showed meaningful expressions, and they couldn't help shaking their heads secretly in their hearts.

Tsk tsk, I thought that the nine princesses had some extraordinary abilities to earn His Majesty's trust; but now, it seems that they are just an embroidered pillow showing off their talents, which is really disappointing.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was actually a little surprised.

Does Longlin actually know about the exercises of the Forbidden Army?

It shouldn't be...

However, even though he didn't think his daughter could express any high opinions, he couldn't help but nodded when he saw Shang Mingtan's extraordinarily firm gaze, willing to give her a chance to express herself.

"Let's talk and listen."

"Father also knows that the son-in-law is in the palace and has a very close relationship with Concubine Yi. When I sit in her palace on weekdays, I have heard the empress slightly mention the training method of the Imperial Guard in Beijing."

Ming Tan pondered, recalled his conversation with Hua Rong, and thought about the description of the Imperial Army in Lin Shurong's new military affairs simulation book, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:

"The training of the Forbidden Army and the frontier garrison is similar. They are both 'five teachings and individual learning'. One is to teach soldiers to identify the flags that issue orders and understand the meaning of various colors; two is to teach them how to listen to the number of various orders; three Teach them the steps to advance and retreat on the battlefield, and to act together; fourth, teach them how to use all kinds of weapons; Must do."*

"According to the military regulations of the Forbidden Army, these five things must be taught in one day, and the training must be repeated every day, increasing the rounds and intensity gradually... Therefore, many soldiers will not be able to bear it after several months in a row. If the body is weak, it will seriously strain the limbs and even damage the bones and joints."

Hearing her eloquently say such a long paragraph, even the emperor was extremely surprised, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Dai Liang in amazement.

However, he saw that the Minister of the Ministry of War with rich experience in leading the army was full of approval, nodding to Ming Tan repeatedly.

After noticing the emperor's gaze, he immediately bowed down and said in a very excited tone: "Your Majesty, what the nine princesses said is exactly the practice practiced by the Imperial Army and the border gates now! Moreover, the symptoms described are also similar to what Commander Geng said. Generally the same!"

Seeing what Dai Shangshu said, a lot of officials behind who were waiting to see the princess make a fool of themselves were dumbfounded and looked at each other in blank dismay.

This situation is not quite right?

Ming Tan thought, "Isn't it just a muscle strain? What's so strange?", with an inscrutable face, he continued: "Most of the soldiers in the Forbidden Army are selected from the capital or surrounding areas. They are the best in martial arts, but they can't compare with the martial arts scholars from border states—for example, Panzhou, Tuozhou, Qugongguan, etc., all practice martial arts—under such circumstances, they can't stand it. Such high-intensity and high-load training is naturally not surprising."

Dai Liang couldn't help but answer: "But the training method of the Forbidden Army has been practiced for decades, and it has never been like this..."

"It's different today, Mr. Dai."

Ming Tan bowed his hands to him, and said calmly, "Martial arts have not been as good as literary ones for a long time, and in the past ten years even the number of people taking part in them has become increasingly rare; there are also many exams who are not good at martial arts at all, just because of competition in literary exams." It was too intense, and I wanted to seek fame, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and vote."

"And how can such a person bear such a hard training method?"

Dai Liang was taken aback when he heard this, his thick black eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and he fell into deep thought.

Ming Tan pursed his lips, sighing inwardly inwardly, inwardly, even Tian Chengchao has become so implicated.

She turned around, and then said to the surprised emperor: "Yes, according to my son, the emperor should indeed order reform of the Imperial Army's military regulations and slow down the intensity of daily training; moreover, I also heard that soldiers After half a month, you can only have a day's rest and bath, which is too tiring, and should be adjusted accordingly."

"..."

Seeing the stunned people around, all cast unbelievable gazes at Ming Tan, the emperor coughed lightly, came back to his senses, and couldn't help secretly feeling proud.

Look at my dragon scales!Get smart!

He felt relieved, his usual majesty in the court hall was almost gone, and he was full of kindness. When he was about to ask Ming Tan about his thoughts on the Xiumu system, a clear voice suddenly came from the side, which immediately aroused everyone's attention. attention.

"Father, my son thinks the words of Nine Emperor Sisters are quite inappropriate."

The emperor was stunned, raised his eyebrows and saw Minghui was holding a wat board, bowed his head and bowed, and said in a steady tone: "Jiuhuangmei has a kind heart at such a young age, it is indeed a good thing—"

"However, the duty of the forbidden army is to guard the palace and the people in the capital. In some respects, even the emperor's safety depends on them... If you look at it according to Jiuhuangmei, because they are sympathetic to the soldiers' bodies, If we easily change the ancestral system and relax the training, wouldn't that make them slack and lazy, and how can they take on the heavy responsibility of defending His Majesty?"

Different from Cai Mingtan's situation just now, almost as soon as Minghui finished speaking, someone responded immediately: "What the second prince said is absolutely true! How can you be negligent at the feet of the emperor? Princess Ninth shouldn't be too merciful!"

The rest of the officials looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and followed suit: "That's right... the military regulations of the Forbidden Army have been in place for decades, and there has never been a mistake. How can you just change it? Your Majesty should think twice!"

"According to what Master Dai said, there are only a few wounded soldiers, just send more doctors. What the Ninth Princess said is really inappropriate..."

"Huh, girl is soft! What do you need for a soldier? The troops stationed at the border guard the country, and the forbidden army in Beijing also guards the emperor. They should be treated equally! Moreover, according to the old minister, the forbidden army is obviously more responsible, and they should be trained more. !"

After listening to similar words for a few times, Dai Liang, who was about to be persuaded by Ming Tan, also changed his face slightly, and looked at the emperor hesitantly, hesitating in his heart.

Although the nine princesses are right, but he is a martial artist from the frontier army, and he has endured much more hardships than this. I really don't think this training is so harsh...

On the other side, seeing that the hall is full of people who support him, the corners of Minghui's lips can't help but slightly curl up.

He turned around, cupped his hands at Ming Tan Shi Ran, with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Jiuhuangmei is too young and ignorant, please don't be harsh, and be more tolerant."

As soon as these words came out, someone who knew the opportunity immediately complimented him: "The second prince loves his siblings so much, he is really a filial, loyal and righteous person!"

"..."

Ming Tan frowned slightly, and looked at the Second Emperor Brother with dark eyes, who was in full bloom.

Minghui has always regarded her and the third brother as thorns in the flesh, so it is fine to use the situation to suppress himself, but if it really hinders the reform of the imperial army system, what will happen to those soldiers who are still suffering from illness and struggling to train?

Hua Rong once told Ming Tan that even her father, Hua Qin, the famous Dingyuan General, felt that this method of training soldiers was too strict and really inappropriate...

If things go on like this, the brave generals will not be trained, and the old, weak and remnant soldiers will only be able to train a bunch. This is the real trouble!

Ming Tan bit his lips, looked at the people around him who were accusing him, and was about to try to persuade him again, but his cuffs tightened.

She was startled, and looked back, only to see that Ming Jing's expression was slightly gloomy, and he shook his head slightly at herself.

The situation in the hall suddenly became one-sided, obviously the officials standing in line with Yu Minghui deliberately guided it.

At this time, if Ming Tan insists on playing again, I'm afraid they will catch him and label him as "a woman's benevolence" and "laughing and generous"...

Ming Tan naturally knew the third brother's worries.

But thinking about those soldiers who were passionate about defending their homes and the country, but were physically strained by the strict military regulations, I couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

She gritted her teeth, and withdrew her hand, just waiting for Ming Jing to insist on insisting on playing despite Ming Jing's obstruction——

"Report to Your Majesty! The old minister thinks that although the Ninth Princess grew up in the deep palace, she can understand military affairs. Every sentence is reasonable, which really makes the ministers feel ashamed."

Not far away, an old man full of righteousness suddenly stepped forward, and before Ming Tan could speak, he said to the emperor in a calm manner: "Such a talented and intelligent person should flex his muscles in the court." He paused, the corner of his eye glanced at the stunned Princess Jiu, and laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, please consider that Princess Yun Jiu can listen to the court every day like today, and express her opinions directly——The old minister is willing to help Princess please reward!"

Ming Tan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and turned his head to look: Behind the old man, a large row of courtiers looked at each other, and then they all knelt down on the ground, and said in unison: "I would like to ask for a reward for the Ninth Princess!"

"...Zhong Aiqing, get up quickly."

The emperor looked at this scene and was obviously extremely surprised.

The new Minister of the Household Department Zhong He, but a well-known minister in the court, loyal and virtuous, would suddenly look at Long Lin differently...

He thought for a while, and looked at Ming Tan, only to see that the latter was even more surprised than himself, and immediately understood the situation at hand.

Zhong Hesu has the ability to know people.I'm afraid it was Longlin's words that really impressed him, that's why he was asked for such a reward at the court.

The emperor thought about it, deliberately did not agree immediately, but paused, and coughed twice.

Sure enough, the ministers who spoke vigorously just now finally came to their senses, hurriedly knelt down and shouted, desperately trying to dissuade them: "The Ninth Princess is a woman, and it is the ancestral system that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics! Please think twice, Your Majesty, and Mr. Zhong. !"

As if there was a chain reaction, not long after, a large group of people kneeled in the hall, stretching their necks and shouting "Think twice".

There was a sound of frogs.

Ming Tan: "..."

Ming Tan himself was also at a loss.Why did things develop like this?

On the other side, Zhong He looked at the movement around him, raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said calmly: "What you said is true, but the saying that 'the harem must not interfere in politics' does not apply to the heir of the emperor... Sigh , if for such a nonsensical reason, let the Ninth Princess, a talented person, really make the old minister feel heartbroken..."

"In this case," he thought for a moment, stroked his palms as if enlightened, and smiled deeply, "then invite the nine princesses to attend the morning court at the Taiji Hall on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year—this way, you can get the best of both worlds." Bar?"

Who can get the best of both worlds with you!

The officials widened their eyes, and were about to refute, but heard a faint "hmm" from the dragon chair, and said before everyone could refute: "Then do as Zhong Aiqing said."

The emperor turned his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "How does Long Lin feel?"

"..."

Behind her, Ming Jing sighed silently, and lightly poked his sister's back with a wat board.

Ming Tan was shocked, he came to his senses, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "My son understands, thank you father and emperor for your kindness!"

Seeing that the three of them sang together and finally settled the matter, many officials became anxious and hurriedly raised their voices again, "Your Majesty, no! It's unheard of for a woman to go to court, how can Your Majesty be so rash—"

"Aiqing really knows how to joke, why is it unheard of?"

The emperor laughed lightly, and tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the dragon chair twice slowly, his voice not angry but majestic.

"Emperor Dezhen in the past, even sat on the dragon chair for many years... Now, it's just letting the nine princesses attend the morning court, why not?"

"..." The official who spoke was dripping with cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to say a word.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

However, in this very strange and tense atmosphere, a handsome young man suddenly walked out of the crowd.

As if he couldn't feel the oppressive force surrounding him at all, he saluted with a smile, smoothed things over and said: "The Second Highness and the Ninth Highness have just said something, and everything is well-founded, and I really listened to it heartily!"

Seeing this person, the emperor squinted his eyes, his face was a little paler than before, "Wen Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The young man raised his head and said: "However, since both of them are reasonable, it is not enough to reward the nine princesses alone - the second prince just said every word, but it is all for His Majesty and for the capital! Therefore, I dare you , I also want to follow the example of Lord Zhong and ask for a reward for His Royal Highness—I wonder if you can agree?"

"..."

After a long period of silence, the emperor suppressed all the expressions in his eyes, finally nodded his head, and said in a calm tone, "What Aiqing said is very true, so naturally he should be rewarded." He turned to the side and said, "Sheng'an, after a while, you will be rewarded." , and immediately sent someone to send the harness in the treasury to Chongle Palace, can you write it down?"

"Yes, I remember." Sheng An said with a smile, "That is His Majesty's favorite set of harness! Congratulations, Second Highness!"

All the ministers in the hall looked at each other, quickly realized, and said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Second Prince!"

Amidst the congratulations, Minghui's eyes quickly flashed a trace of coldness.

But the expression on his face was still watertight, he stretched out his hand, and said loudly: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness!"

snort.A bunch of crap.

But fortunately, it's only the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year... Forgive me, no matter how much Ming Tan jumps around, she won't be able to make any big waves.

Thinking of this, he finally evoked a smile, turned around gracefully, and took the lead in saying to Ming Tan: "Congratulations to Nine Emperor Sisters too! We will work together in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, please let me know." Remember to come and ask Brother Huang at any time!"

Seeing Ming Hui's statement, the kneeling officials looked at each other, got up one after another, and said "Congratulations, congratulations" to Princess Jiu embarrassingly.

Ming Tan glanced at them, with a slight smile on his face, he returned the salute one by one without distraction.

During the gap, she raised her eyes to look at Zhong He, Shangshu of the Household Department, and saw that the old man's upright and dignified face was full of kindness; after meeting Mingtan's gaze, she smiled at her, and the wisdom in her eyes flowed, full of encouragement color.

Ming Tan: "..."

Ming Tan forced a smile to this old minister who had shown him kindness, but his heart hurt so badly that he couldn't breathe.

Why—she somehow—became an unlucky court worker—

Even if there are only two days on the first day and 15th day of the month, you still have to get up early before dawn!

What kind of evil did she do! ! !

And behind the impotent and furious Ming Tan, Ming Jing frowned, raised his eyes thoughtfully, and fixedly looked at the young man who had just rewarded Ming Hui.

Wen Chao, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, although he came from a poor family, is known as a smooth person, and he is very good at the court...

He narrowed his eyes.

Could it be that this person has also become a subordinate of his second brother?
