Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it was the day of the fifteenth court.

Mingtan fought night battles with lamps and lanterns for several days in succession, and visited the barracks of the Imperial Army countless times. Only then did he collect enough data and information, and integrated them into an article "Research on the Rigorousness of the Training Method of the Imperial Army and Countermeasures for Improvement".

Just looking at the topic is very intuitive, full of strong academic atmosphere.

In the early morning of that day, she deliberately got up early, and carried this report with several pages to the Tai Chi Hall. She stood at the gate, and countless officials frowned immediately, and ran eight feet away from her, whispering in a low voice. stand up.

"Hey, have you heard? The Ninth Princess has not been idle for the past few days. She has gone to the Imperial Army barracks several times! Tsk tsk, this is Tiexin who is going to fight His Highness the Second Prince..."

"It's just a small matter, but it's worth so much trouble. It really is too young, the benevolence of a woman."

"Hmph, according to the old man, the commander surnamed Geng is also in a daze, and he would agree to let her go around the barracks... Sigh, I am really confused. What opinions can a woman have on military affairs? It's just a waste of time! "

"Hey, Mr. Li, if you get closer, can you see what the ninth princess is holding in her hand?"

"Well, I saw it, and there are a lot of words written on it! But it's not a memorial, but a few pages... white linen paper for writing?"

"Article? What... uh, what are you doing with the article?"

"Okay, fellow colleagues, why should we care what tricks she has played out? The door of the palace is already open, so let's go in quickly and stay out of my own business..."

After countless mocking or blank eyes passed by his hands, Ming Tan smiled, turned around, and followed the flow of people into the hall.

……

The long morning has come to an end, and the most vocal officials have gradually died down.

Finally, when He Yushi finished playing and returned to the queue, the emperor heaved a sigh of relief without a trace, and said solemnly on his face: "Is there still this Qizhu?"

As soon as the words finished, Ming Tan, who hadn't said a word the whole time, suddenly took a step forward, holding a roll of hemp paper instead of a wat board in his hand, and said respectfully in the direction of the dragon chair: "I have something to do."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

"It's still about the Forbidden Army in Beijing that Master Dai played a few days ago."

Ming Tan smiled slightly, not caring about the different gazes on him.

"A few days ago, Erchen took people to visit the barracks, and found that many soldiers were really unwell... So, I asked Commander Geng to introduce the doctor who was seeing the doctor. After careful questioning, I found out Therefore, the illnesses that soldiers suffer from are precisely due to the hard work of drills and excessive straining of muscles."

"According to the doctor, although this kind of strain looks fine, the fascia between the flesh and blood under the skin has been torn one after another, and even the bones will be damaged... If you don't get proper treatment and rest, Then the pain will intensify, and the limbs will become increasingly strained, eventually leading to stiffness and weakness, making it difficult to walk and stand like ordinary people."

After listening to this detailed description, everyone felt that their legs and feet were aching.

Many good people subconsciously glanced at Ming Jing, and seeing the latter's expression moved, they sighed in empathy, with deep sympathy in their eyes.

Everyone knows that before His Highness the Third Prince went to Baicao Valley for treatment, he suffered from a very serious leg disease and was unable to walk or stand...

Thinking of this, many people have an instant epiphany.

The ninth princess is so concerned about those soldiers... Presumably, it is because of her elder brother, the third prince.

——Confucianism values ​​filial piety and brotherhood the most.

Several ministers standing behind Zhong He looked at each other, and couldn't help nodding their heads slightly, with sincere satisfaction flashing in their eyes.

Don't do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. The Ninth Princess is indeed a benevolent person.

However, before they could express their emotions for a long time, another discordant voice came from not far away, it was the second prince Ming Hui.

"It's just some flesh and blood pain, how can it easily make people's hands and feet exhausted?"

He was also standing in the front row, but there was some distance from Ming Tan, and he said slowly: "Even ordinary people like me sometimes feel sore and weak in our limbs after overwork, but as long as we rest for a few days It will get better, which shows that this disease is not stubborn. Why does Xiao Jiu need to scare me here?"

Ming Tan subconsciously tightened the fingertips holding the paper.

To some extent, she is indeed alarmist.

Muscle strain is a very common phenomenon, as long as you get enough rest, you can indeed fully recover within a few days...

However, according to the current training intensity of the imperial guards, they don't even have time to sleep well, so how can they have a good rest?

She deliberately exaggerated, but also as a last resort.

"Brother Erhuang's words are wrong, but you must not judge others by yourself," Ming Tan regained his composure, raised his eyes, and smiled at the other party, "How can we people who have been pampered since we were young, be able to be with those people?" Compared with the soldiers who practiced endlessly?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Minghui to answer, she lifted up the paper in her hand, and read carefully: "According to the statistics of the doctors: the number of soldiers suffering from severe limb injuries has not been lower than five years ago. It was rare, and it even became a common practice long ago; but the commander of the imperial army at that time didn't pay much attention to it, and never played before the imperial court like Commander Geng, and the court never paid attention to it... Therefore, the situation has intensified over the past few years .”

"There are 500 people in one battalion of the imperial army. I picked a battalion at random and started a detailed investigation. I found that there were more than 300 people suffering from the disease the year before last, and the number rose to about [-] people last year. For this year, I counted from the first month , there will be dozens of people asking for leave every month - Erchen thought of a way to mark each number, connect the dots into a line, and draw it into a graph, so that you can clearly see the changes in the number of people suffering from illnesses during this period .”

She turned the paper over in her hand, and a long line extending to the upper right corner was revealed, which was simple and clear, and immediately caught everyone's attention.

Even the emperor stepped down from the dragon chair curiously, wondering: "How can this line be so steep..."

"Because the number of soldiers with muscular injuries is increasing rapidly every month." Ming Tan sighed.

"The son-in-law, Concubine Yi, asked General Hua, and the general also felt that the current training methods of the forbidden army were inappropriate-the physical fitness of today's warriors cannot be compared with that of the war, but Performing martial arts too hard will actually not have much effect, on the contrary, it will make the soldiers exhausted and their morale low, which will be very disadvantageous for patrolling the capital!"

Maybe it was shocked by the data that sounded very impressive, or maybe it was out of faith in General Hua Qin. "The Nine Princesses are right", "It is true", and other words, the voices of approval are endless for a while.

Ming Hui's face was gloomy, and he wanted to continue arguing, but facing such detailed information in Ming Tan's hands, any groundless rebuttal would appear quite powerless.

He looked at the emperor with an admiring expression, and then looked around at the courtiers who were admiring, and estimated the number in his heart.

What's going on today?Five or six adults were persuaded by her?

Minghui squinted his eyes and realized that he was outnumbered, so he could only choose to take a step back temporarily, change his strategy, and pretended to be generous and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu is really right! If this is the case, why not ask Father to make an order and allow Na Geng to command Let’s adjust the way of training and give him an extra day of rest every month, so it’s worth Xiaojiu’s painstaking efforts.”

His speech skills are superb, and he deliberately blurred the key points. His words are full of condescension, and he has the meaning of "this measure can be implemented, not because you said it well, but because I agree with it", regardless of the credit. In terms of hard work, it must be a shameless virtue that will occupy face and face.

It's no wonder Mingtan would care about him!

She didn't even give the other half a look. She just smiled slightly and cupped her hands at the emperor, saying, "The forbidden army is in charge of patrolling the central capital, and they have to walk among the people every day. They come and go, and the practice is naturally known to the common people."

"Similarly, it is precisely because of the strictness that after the contents of the drills were spread to Fangshi, no one was willing to join the army and suffer the punishment... Therefore, it was spread to hundreds of thousands, which indirectly affected the participation in the martial arts competition. The number of people has finally led to the dismal situation of opening courses in recent years."

The emperor subconsciously turned his head to look at Dai Liang, only to see that the Minister of the Ministry of War was looking at Ming Tan with deep sympathy, sighed, and said from the bottom of his heart: "What the princess said is right! The old man has also come to the examination in person, but the exam There are only a few 400 people in the Wu Juzi... Sigh, compared to the Wen Ju, the situation is so bleak!"

Ming Tan nodded, and said solemnly: "So, father, whether it is for the present or for the future, adjusting the training method of the imperial army is the most important thing!"

In the eyes of the emperor, it was a trivial matter for a mere Forbidden Army to conduct a drill.But right now, to be able to be seen by her daughter in a small way, and to speak out such a long speech with eloquence...

He smiled and said with great interest, "What else does Longlin have to say?"

"Royal father understands sons and daughters best," Ming Tan frowned, and held the paper in his hand forward, "Because the matter is of great importance, sons and servants have been going back and forth between the imperial barracks and the palace these days, with Concubine Yi and Commander Geng. Wait for others to discuss in detail, and jointly formulate a drill plan, please read it with Master Dai!"

Unexpectedly, she was so thoughtful in doing things. The emperor was full of surprise. He took the papers and looked at them, and found that the contents were really comprehensive, involving in detail the daily training volume, training items, rest time, etc... It would really give His father saves trouble.

The emperor looked at it carefully for a while, felt that the arrangement was very reasonable, and was satisfied, so he couldn't help saying to Dai Liang: "Ai Qing also come and see!"

Dai Liang bowed, stepped forward to take the paper handed over by the emperor, and concentrated on reading it for a while, then he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, and said pleasantly: "This plan must have been written by General Hua!" After finishing, he resolutely said, "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the veteran, the Ninth Princess's method is quite suitable for combining work and rest, and it can really be used in the army!"

"Well, I feel good too."

The emperor nodded, looked at Ming Tan with a smile, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said surprisingly: "In this case...then the jurisdiction of the imperial guards in Beijing, let's leave it to Long Lin for the time being!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the room was shocked.

This is different from the small fights of improving the drill method, it is really to let the nine princesses participate in the military affairs!

Many officials of the Second Prince's Party turned pale immediately, and hurriedly came out and shouted: "Princess Ninth has no official position and is a woman in the palace. How can she govern the Imperial Army? I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

Minghui's face darkened, and he also clenched his fingertips in the dark, his eyes were dark.

The military department... but a place where even I can't set foot for the time being...

It seems that he still underestimated the Nine Emperor Girl.

Facing the objections of the officials, the emperor seemed indifferent, still looked at his daughter kindly, and asked slowly: "I ordered you to govern the imperial army, can you do it?"

After a short shock, Ming Tan quickly came back to his senses.She and her father looked at each other, pondered for a moment, narrowed their eyes, and then said slowly: "I will not disgrace my life."

"it is good!"

The emperor was extremely pleased. After laughing a few times, he turned to Dai Liang beside him and asked, "What do you think of Dai Aiqing?"

"The minister also thinks it is very good!"

Dai Liang is a simple-minded military general, and he is also a man who cherishes his talents and generosity. After this incident, he has already had a good opinion of Ming Tangao.

"The Ninth Princess is a person of great talent, and she will definitely be able to control the Imperial Army unstoppably, and reproduce the glory of the ancestors!"

Ming Tan smiled gratefully, and bowed deeply to the straightforward Shangshu, "Thank you, Lord Dai, for your trust!"

However, Dai Liang waved his hands again and again, and laughed loudly: "The princess has offended the old minister!" After finishing the courtesy, he suddenly changed the subject and reminded, "However, according to the method on the paper, the old minister seems to need the two generals to separate. In charge of the drill, but the only one in the Forbidden Army right now is Commander Geng..."

"Thank you, Lord Dai, for your reminder," Ming Tan nodded slightly, then turned back to the emperor and said, "I am about to recommend a candidate to you to assist Commander Geng in training the imperial army, and I hope the emperor will allow it!"

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Who can have the blue eyes of dragon scales and let you recommend it like this?"

"Father also knows about this person."

Ming Tan raised his eyes and smiled lightly, his eyes were filled with brilliance, seeming to hide thousands of sharp edges.

"It's that little martial idiot who is famous all over the capital—the second young master of the Lin family, young master Lin Xun."

A few days later, the capital banned the barracks.

Chang Lei was born as a Jinshi in Wu Enke, and was transferred to the Forbidden Army Battalion after he was elected. Now he has been struggling for more than four years, and he is considered a small general in the camp.

At that time, everyone said that the capital city was under the foot of the emperor, and the imperial army would definitely be a first-class good job... But it was not until Chang Lei entered the camp and did a real drill that he knew the "good job" in the mouth How terrible it is.

——This is a land that is as hard as the frontier.

Endless hand-to-hand fights, endless formations, endless learning of martial arts... One after another, endlessly, many brothers fell down in the day and night drills, even He was also exhausted all day long, his legs and feet were numb to the point of unconsciousness, his body was sore, and it was difficult to sleep.

And Chang Lei's state of mind has also changed from being full of enthusiasm at the beginning to numbness and bitterness now.

Why torture yourself?Why did you want to run for martial arts in the first place?

Countless late nights, looking at the empty bed around him, thinking of his brother who was still in unbearable pain even though he was treated by a doctor, Chang Lei could only ask himself this way, regretting in his heart.

——However, just when he was about to be completely disheartened, the turning point came so quickly.

The imperial court, who had been ignoring them all the time, seemed to have suddenly woken up, promulgated a new drill plan vigorously, and sent a "commander Lin" who was too young to be ridiculous and looked like a rich man to fight against Geng. Jing and Jing worked together to improve the recent instability of the Imperial Army's discipline and many people asking for leave.

Everyone was panicked at first, thinking that the court was angry, and they would face even more terrifying training——

But in fact, after Commander Lin announced the new plan, everyone in the army was shocked by it.

The training time has been greatly reduced, so you don’t have to get up early and stay late; you only need to do a few fixed items every day, and you don’t need to practice all of them; the team that patrols the city can reduce part of the training on the day; you can have a day to rest every star… …

Many soldiers were dumbfounded.

This, this is a life they can't even imagine!

Chang Lei also couldn't believe it, thinking it was just a way for the court to make them eat cakes to satisfy their hunger.

However, after the implementation of the new plan, with the decrease of training intensity and the increase of rest time, he found that the two commanders did not just talk about it, but actually put every point into practice.

The legs and feet that were so painful that they were about to go numb gradually returned to normal, and I was able to sleep soundly without dreams at night.Within a few days, after getting a proper rest, Chang Lei became full of energy again.

Grateful, he and his recovered brothers found two commanders, and after careful questioning, they found out that this set of plans came from Princess Yonghui in the palace, and she personally made them for them!

How can this be?

Chang Lei is a native of the capital, and subconsciously blurted out: "But according to the rumors, it is clearly said that Princess Yonghui is a person who does all kinds of evil and acts violently. How can, how can she be so benevolent..."

When he said this, Commander Lin was not happy to hear it. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Hey, use your brain! If she is really this kind of person, why would she care about the lives of the soldiers?"

Commander Geng also shook his head at his words, and sighed: "Chang Lang will not know... A few days ago, the woman who always came to visit the barracks was Her Royal Highness Princess Yonghui."

After Geng Jing told the truth, everyone looked at each other in a daze, and said "Ah", dispelling all doubts immediately.

Just because, anyone who has seen Princess Yonghui will never forget that young woman who is so beautiful but willing to patiently ask them about their military training.

She has an easy-going attitude and can empathize with the sufferings of her brothers; she holds a notebook and works tirelessly every day, visits between military camps, and teaches the doctor a little massage technique, which has greatly relieved the pain of many people——

To be honest, everyone still calls her a fairy behind her back.

But now, after learning that the fairy is Princess Yonghui, Chang Lei returned to his residence, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He thought for a while, spread out the letter paper, and wrote down the changes in the barracks and the princess's kindness to all the imperial troops in his family letter.

"...What is said in the market must not be trusted. I also hope that parents can distinguish right from wrong, and mostly rectify the name of Princess Yonghui. It can be regarded as the meager power of the child to repay the kindness..."

After receiving the letter, the parents of the Chang family, who were deeply poisoned by the rumors, were also unsure about the authenticity of the matter, just like their sons; Princess Hui is full of hype...

So, they looked at each other and gradually believed in this matter.

Alas, I never expected that Princess Yonghui would be such a kind-hearted person!

Chang's parents let out a long sigh, seeing that their son's health had improved and he was no longer working in the army, they couldn't help but feel very relieved.

When they went out the next day, with such a mood, they also told their neighbors about the matter, and took the initiative to refute the rumors such as "the nine princesses do all kinds of evil" and "violence".

——Since then, the reputation of Princess Yonghui Mingtan's benevolence has slowly spread among the public.
