Chapter Eleven Transformation
Zheng De looked at him with a bad look on his face when he heard this. Zhu Hui was so cowardly that he would have been back before he saw the enemy. Li Dongyang continued slowly, "I think that the military situation is urgent now, and changing generals at the last minute is a taboo for military strategists. Besides, this time he just went to Xuanfu to defend the city. Zhu Hui was timid and timid in fighting and would not greedy for merits, but he was the right candidate at the moment."
Although he felt that Li Dongyang was right, Zheng De was still a little worried. He subconsciously looked at Liu Daxia, the Minister of War. The latter pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Ge Lao Li said it well. If Zhu Hui was so rude to the last time, he would regret it and be more guilty."
Even his own Minister of National Defense said this, even if Zheng De was unwilling to do so, he would have to do so. If he had a suitable candidate, he would never agree with this person. It seems that what the Ming Dynasty does not lack the most are those capable ministers and civil servants who can govern the country, and what they really lack is those generals who can conquer and fight well.
"It seems that it is very necessary to set up a military school, and the serious problem of escape in the army must be solved, otherwise it will be really miserable if you really want to use troops at that time." Zheng De thought about it, but he should deal with the current affairs. He looked up and told Liu Jian, "Then Zhu Hui will be the general officer, and Master Liu will draw an order."
"Who will supervise military affairs?" Liu Daxia raised a question at this time.
"Admiral Military Affairs? What position is this? Is it a military supervisor?" Zheng De didn't understand. Of course, it's not the time to ask this. But the better thing is that it was not Zhu Hui who went to Xuanfu alone, so he felt a little relieved.
"Who is Liu Qing thinking suitable?"
Liu Daxia thought for a while, "The Right Censor Shi Lin, the Censor of the Right Capital, is responsible for military affairs."
"Then that's the person." Zheng De looked around everyone, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?" After all, he was not familiar with the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so he still needed to ask more questions.
Li Dongyang hesitated for a moment and asked in a little confusion, "Don't the emperor send the military officers and supervisors?"
"The Central Officer Supervisor? Does the Ming Dynasty need to send eunuchs to supervise the military?" Zheng De was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he decided to refute the proposal. After all, in his impression, eunuchs were the worst. If the Xuanfu was accidentally lost, then he would have no place to cry at that time?
"That's it."
The ministers here looked at Zheng De with surprise. They really couldn't believe that the emperor who favored the eunuchs the most would make the decision not to send a central official to supervise the army. This was the first time in the history of eunuchs' military supervision in the more than 100 years of the Ming Dynasty. It also made the ministers look at Zheng De with admiration. Is this the emperor we know who favored the eunuchs the most?
"The emperor who favors eunuchs the most?" If Zheng De knew the labels the minister put on him, he would probably not smile bitterly. He just asked Liu Jin to criticize the winner on his behalf, and he became the emperor who favored eunuchs the most?
After receiving the two gold medals "please treasure" paid by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Zheng De handed the written imperial edict and "the army transfer can be united" to the newly arrived Duke Baoguo Zhu Hui and the right censor Shi Lin. Although he was quite dissatisfied with the former, he still encouraged and said to the two, "I'll give everything to you, I'll wait for you to return triumphantly."
...
When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Zheng De was not sleepy at all. Thinking about what happened suddenly tonight, he realized that he was not living in a peaceful and prosperous era where he could indulge in leisurely fun, but a world where there was no reason and that war could break out at any time.
Zheng De had such concerns before, but he didn't care. As long as he didn't do anything, history might continue to move forward along the original trajectory. However, with this sudden outbreak of war, he suddenly felt that the world might not be out of the original trajectory. After all, his existence itself is a variable. If the result of the Xuanfu Battle is deviated from the original history, what would happen to him?
After coming to this world, Zheng De always treated himself as an outsider, watching the tide of history surging and rolling, and was willing to go with the flow. He did not want to do anything or change anything, but wanted to live with the situation and wait for death for the rest of his life. Until this moment, he realized that he was not the so-called outsider, but the helm of the Ming Dynasty, a large ship that had gradually begun to sink. If he did nothing, perhaps the ship had already sunk before he died, and the ending could be imagined.
After all, there are countless possibilities in history, especially the existence of a small butterfly that should not exist in this world, which inadvertently added many variables. Who knows whether the flapping of his small wings will cause a huge historical storm and cause huge changes to history? And it will develop towards his worst idea. After all, he is Zheng De and not the original Zhu Houzhao. The so-called mid-Ming Dynasty in history may also become the late Ming Dynasty, and he may not be the last last emperor of the Ming Dynasty...
Zheng De thought a lot in the second half of the night, and made him truly understand that he was now completely connected with the world and could not be truly out of the matter. Moreover, he was also the owner of this huge empire. No matter what he did or did, he was always affecting the course of history. Since things have come to this point, instead of just waiting to die and being passively involved in the tide of history, it is better to actively integrate into it and win a place for himself to settle down.
Thinking of the end, he was sleepless and went to Maoqin Palace to practice calligraphy again. He was a little more serious than his previous mentality of having fun. In the end, he was tired and didn't want to sleep. He read the memorials again while idle. Since the last Jiangnan earthquake incident, although Liu Jin was still criticizing the memorials, he no longer read some memorials, but would browse them all to avoid the last event.
Qionglin Banquet? Is this year the year of the imperial examination? Zheng De looked at this memorial in surprise. Qionglin Banquet, also known as Rongen Banquet, is a banquet for the new Jinshi. It started in the Song Dynasty and was called the Rongen Banquet in the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the emperor would give a banquet in Jinshen Hall shortly after the Jinshi passed away, but unfortunately it happened to be the death of the previous emperor, so it was naturally postponed infinitely.
"If it is the year of the imperial examination, I don't know if I can discover some talents for my use?" Zheng De thought of this memorial and ordered Wang Yue, who was sitting aside and still accompanying him, "Wang Yue, give me the list of the imperial examinations this year."
After taking the list handed over by Wang Yue, Zheng De glanced at him. It was difficult to use the search system if he was there, and he also stayed with him for a night. "You have been tired for the night, so go back and rest."
Seeing that the emperor cared about him so much, Wang Yue said in a very touching way, "Thank you, Master Long Sui, care, I am not tired."
"It's up to you, I don't need anyone to serve you here, go out!" Zheng De waved his hand, and didn't force him. He was not a person who liked to force others very much.
"That servant is waiting outside the hall. If you need any questions, your Majesty to scream." Wang Yue retreated and carefully brought the door with him.
Zheng De nodded, and after seeing him go out, he stretched out his left hand and clicked on the search system.
"The top scholar Gu Dingchen, the second-level Dong Yan, Tanhua Xie Pi... There is no historical figure that he is familiar with." Zheng De shook his head, and then laughed at himself. There are not many famous historical figures that are truly well-known in history, and there are only a few dozen people in a dynasty. How can one easily encounter a single imperial examination?
Zheng De smiled and wrote the name "Gu Dingchen" on his palm with his fingers. The virtual screen search bar also outlined the name "Gu Dingchen" and appeared in it, which looked very magical.
A page jumped out.
Gu Dingchen
Supreme official position: Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion
Ability rating: C-level
Systematic evaluation: Qingci Prime Minister, not worthy of comment
Then he attached a life introduction. After reading it, Zheng De also found that Gu Dingchen had been an official for decades, and his political achievements were really lacking. I'm sorry for the title of top scorer, but he is suitable for being a teacher. Besides, although he has been writing Qing Ci to the cabinet, he is still quite upright, and his evaluation is a bit harsh. However, Zheng De is no longer surprised by this. Most of the evaluations of this system are sarcastic. If he sees it, he will probably jump up in anger.
Zheng De then entered the names of "Dong Yan and Xie Pi".
Dong Sheng
The highest official position: Left Minister of Personnel
Ability rating:c
System review: Mediocre people, not worth evaluating
Xie Pi
The highest official position: Left Minister of Personnel
Ability rating: C-level
System review: Incompetent people are not worthy of evaluation
The three players in the first class had the lowest ability rating, which was really beyond Zheng De's expectations. He shook his head helplessly. He really killed people by taking the eight-legged official position, and even a real talent was not selected. Just when Zheng De was no longer hoping and almost wanted to give up, he accidentally found a familiar name in the second class.
"Yan Song"
When Zheng De saw this, he smiled bitterly. He was indeed a historical celebrity! Not only was the Ming Dynasty but also a famous treacherous minister in history. Zheng De looked at the system's evaluation of him.
Yan Song
Supreme official position: Young Master and Huagai Palace University
Ability rating: B
Systematic evaluation: A generation of treacherous officials are ashamed of being evaluated
As expected, the systematic evaluation was as sharp as usual, but the B-level ability rating was good. After all, there were only a dozen people in the entire court. However, the high position of the chief minister of the cabinet seemed to be somewhat lacking. In addition, his infamous identity as a treacherous minister made Zheng De lack interest in him.
After spending a whole morning, Zheng De searched everyone on this list. Except for those who did not find this, most of them were unknown in history, but the rest also found several talents, and their ability ratings reached B or above.
Zhai Luan is another historical figure who has served as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. It is really amazing that he can produce two Prime Ministers of the Cabinet in the imperial examination. Although his ability rating is only B, he has not made much achievements in history, but at least his character is much better than Yan Song.
Although Cai Tianyou was unknown in history, he made great achievements during his tenure. The system gave him a B-level ability rating to affirm it. Of course, this scientific examination also broke a record, which was the oldest Jinshi in the imperial examination. Zheng De's mouth twitched at the age of 65. Although he finally lived to be a 95-year-old, how to arrange it was also a headache for Zheng De.
Zhan Ruoshui, a philosopher, educator, and calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, once burned Lu Yin to study, and was also a very personal person. Although his evaluation of him reached b, it was obviously not because of his political ability.
Xu Zhenqing, one of the four talented men in Wuzhong. This person is only C-level, and what attracted Zheng De's attention was his life introduction. After reading his life, Zheng De finally knew who he was. It was the one who was often seen on TV before, and together with Tang Yin, Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming, he was called the four talented men in Jiangnan. However, in reality, this person is not as handsome and elegant as the one on TV. Moreover, because of his ugly appearance, he was defeated by Shujishi, which is extremely tragic.
Gu Yingxiang was promoted to the Secretary of War of Nanjing. Although his ability rating is not B, he has extremely rich experience in his life and his abilities should be above Yan Song and Zhai Luan.
Hu Lian, this person was completely an unexpected surprise, and Zheng De cared the most. His ability rating reached a level, and the systematic evaluation was finally no longer a sarcastic sarcasm. Instead, he said that he was willing to be civil and military, with a bold courage, especially elite military equipment, and a great talent in the country. His life introduction is even more eye-catching, and he is completely worthy of his evaluation of civil and military affairs.
