    After retreating from the court, Yue Yang was called to Kunning Palace by Chongzhen.  Following Chongzhen, Yueyang came to Kunning Palace and saw Empress Zhou with a smile on her face. Sitting next to her was her daughter-in-law, Princess Kunxing Zhu Ainao. However, Princess Kunxing was relatively tired these days because she was traveling with Yueyang and was squinting.  Her eyes were accompanying her mother as she spoke word by word.  As soon as she saw Yueyang, Queen Zhou complained: "Zhenghong, how do you take care of Ainao? It's a long way from Shandong to the capital, and you arrived in ten days, but Ainao is a daughter and she is still pregnant with a child. You  Why don't you take it easy? Look at how pale your face is now. What if you come here because you're tired? " "I" Yue Yang, who was complained by his mother-in-law, didn't know how to respond.  It was Zhu Ailao who spoke on behalf of her man: "Mother, don't blame Zhenghong. Didn't you see that my father's imperial edict was so urgent that 20,000 soldiers would consume a lot of food every day to eat horse chews, and the money spent would be a sea of ????money."  It¡¯s not easy to get to the capital from Shandong in such a short time. It¡¯s so heartbreaking that you still blame him.¡± Empress Zhou was also happy to hear this. This daughter of hers is still the number one.  It was the first time she contradicted herself. No wonder people said that married daughters throw water away. She feigned anger and said: "Heyyou little girl, you have only been married for a few days, and you are just talking for the prince-in-law." "  Hey, Queen Mother, you know that¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Zhu Auao was afraid that Queen Zhou would be angry, so she quickly grabbed her arm and shook her coquettishly.  After being treated like a spoiled child by Zhu Yujuan, Queen Zhou patted her daughter's little hand angrily and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, look at you, you are almost a child, you still act like a child." "Hehehe.  " Zhu Ailao happily hugged Queen Zhou's arm and leaned her head on Queen Zhou's shoulder, blinking proudly.  After several people finished talking, Chongzhen asked Yue Yang who was sitting aside in a deep voice: "Ai Qing, what do you think of today's events?" "A group of clowns are here." Yue Yang thought for a while and then said: "This  The world belongs to the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor, your majesty has the right to mobilize any army. This is your majesty's duty and right. No one can stop it. The reason why those officials jumped out and bit like mad dogs is just because.  It's just someone behind the scenes." Hearing this, Chongzhen's eyes narrowed: "Someone gave the order?" "Of course!" Yue Yang said with a smile, "Who do you think you had to get the order from?  Whose rights were harmed in this incident? There is a saying that is called looking at the essence through the phenomenon, which means that no matter how complicated a thing seems, you will find it as long as you grasp its source.  The thing is actually very simple. For example, on the surface, it seems that only those Yanguan jumped out, but if you think about it carefully, are they really jumping out because they can't stand it?  We all know that as the leader of a country, you have the right to mobilize any large army to Beijing, and you have no grudges against them. But why do they want to kill a humble minister? The reason is simple: there are people behind it?  Instigating them to do this. Then the question is, who is instigating them to do this? Of course it is those who think that their rights have been harmed. Then it is clear who is behind it.¡±  Chongzhen asked in a deep voice: "You mean those people in the cabinet are behind the scenes?" Yue Yang smiled: "Otherwise, who else do you think it could be. When Chengzu established the cabinet, he said, 'All ministers who join the cabinet are  Those who serve as editors, inspectors, and lecturers do not have official subordinates, and they are not allowed to report to each department. But what is the current cabinet like? What is the difference between the current cabinet ministers and the previous prime ministers?  What? Whether it is the mobilization of troops, disaster relief, food and wages, etc., all of them need to be drafted by the cabinet before being submitted to His Majesty for approval. This time you bypassed them and ordered the ministers to go to Beijing. They feel that their rights have been harmed, so naturally they will not.  I'll give it up." "Huh!" Chongzhen couldn't help but snorted loudly.  "They are all greedy people. One day I will remove them all!" "Useless Your Majesty!" Yue Yang shook his head, "This is human nature. Even if you remove them and replace them with others, the result will be the same.  Same. Power is the most tempting poison, and few people are willing to give it up after tasting it. " "Yes!" Chongzhen sighed.  Seeing that Chongzhen and Yueyang were talking about business, Queen Zhou and Zhu Ainao did not say anything.  Just quietly listening to their respective men talking.  After a while, Chongzhen asked: "My dear, do you know why I asked you to lead troops to Beijing this time?" Yue Yang smiled slightly: "Now the Manchurian Tatars have been pacified, and the bandits have been almost wiped out."Well, there is only one reason for Your Majesty to mobilize a large army to Beijing. It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind to rectify the Beijing camp.  " "He who knows me loves you!  Chongzhen looked at Yue Yang with admiration, "Since my dear also knows the purpose of my teaching you, are you willing to help me sort out this mess?"  " Yue Yang smiled casually: "Your Majesty, why do you need to ask so many times? If I don't want to, how can I lead the army here.  " "Okay I know that Aiqing will not live up to my expectations.  "Chongzhen was naturally very happy when he heard that Yue Yang agreed so happily. But before he was happy, Yue Yang continued: "Although I promised your majesty, I still hope that your majesty will also agree to a few things.  " Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, waved his hand: "My dear, please speak!  " "First: Although the Beijing camp is completely rotten, there are too many princes and nobles involved in it. There will be bloodshed in the south during the rectification process. I hope your Majesty will not blame the ministers.  Second: I think that the bad habit of using civil servants to control military forces is really undesirable. The army is for fighting. It is absurd to send a civilian official who is not familiar with military affairs to lead the army.  Therefore, I believe that the army should be led by soldiers. This is the right way.  " Hearing this, Chongzhen's brows immediately frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "But you give the military general too much power. What if the goods of the vassal town of Tang Dynasty are reproduced in the future?  "When Chongzhen said these words, the atmosphere in the room began to become solemn. Empress Zhou glanced at her husband in a panic. She wanted to say something but did not dare to speak. Zhu Ailao's delicate body beside her trembled. Could it be that her own life  Are the two most important men in the family about to fall out? But what worried Zhu Ruao did not happen. Yue Yang just smiled and then looked at Chongzhen and asked sincerely, "I have come into contact with some Yi people. In the Yi people's hometown,  There is a proverb that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it well.  I think it makes sense. In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles. There were Tatars from outside and rogues from inside who were causing chaos everywhere. The Ming Dynasty urgently needed a strong army to serve the Ming Dynasty on the battlefield. But what did the princes in the court do?  ?  They would rather send out civilian officials who are not familiar with military affairs to lead the army than delegate power to military generals. Are they afraid that the military generals will rebel?  To put it bluntly, most of the state affairs of our Ming Dynasty were ruined by these corrupt Confucians!  " "Ms. sir!  "Hearing this, Zhu Ya'ao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly shouted without thinking. Chongzhen waved his hand at Zhu Ya'ao with a sullen face, "It's okay let him say it!"  " Yue Yang continued: "It seems safe to let civil servants control military generals, but the danger is the greatest.  Think about the two wise emperors and saints of the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. One of them pacified the Xiongnu and swept across the wilderness, the other pacified the world and beat the Tatars to the point of bleeding. In the end, they were honored as the Khan of Heaven by the Tatars.  Have they ever let a civil servant serve as the head coach of the first army?  Aren't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty afraid of rebellion by their generals?  Of course they are afraid, but why do they never send a civilian official as the coach?  Because they know that it is more harmful to send a civil servant who is not knowledgeable in military affairs as the commander-in-chief. This is like letting a blind man ride a blind horse.  " Hearing this, Chongzhen's face was already ugly. Yue Yang's words mercilessly exposed the dangers of literati and martial arts, and also completely negated the Ming Dynasty's national policy. He took a deep breath and asked  , "Then what Aiqing means is that from now on, the Ming Dynasty cannot let literati command its troops?"  " "Exactly!  " Yue Yang's answer was very affirmative. He looked at the solemn expression of his father-in-law and smiled and said: "Wei Chen knows that Your Majesty is worried that the Ming Dynasty will repeat the disaster of the Tang Dynasty vassal town. In fact, this kind of thing can be avoided.  " Chongzhen's expression was suddenly shocked: "Oh Aiqing also has this wonderful strategy, tell me quickly!  " Yue Yang looked at Chongzhen and said slowly: "Actually, the way to prevent military personnel from becoming powerful is very simple, that is to open a military academy!  " "Open a military academy!  "There was a burst of exclamation in the room almost at the same time. "Yesit is to open a military academy!  "Yue Yang stretched out a finger and said: "First, we can mobilize the most experienced generals of the Ming Dynasty to open the best military academy and teach all the officers of the Ming Dynasty what they have learned throughout their lives.  And your Majesty personally serves as the principal of this military school, so these officers will all become your Majesty's students after they leave the school. After your Majesty has a master-student relationship with them, these people will also become the emperor's disciples. Your Majesty can use kindness and kindness.  Officials, nobles and silver men come to win over them and let them serve our Ming Dynasty. Through these people, Your Majesty can control the entire Ming Dynasty's army. In this way, who else can rebel and who dares to rebel?  "    "OK!  " Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but slam the table and shouted loudly. At this time, he was beaming with joy, and his whole person was likeZhu Bajie felt as comfortable as if he had eaten the ginseng fruit, not to mention how comfortable he was.  And Yue Yang also had a smile on his face. This trick has been proven to be effective in history.  Back then, our Principal Chiang Kai-shek controlled millions of troops through officers from the Huangpu Clan. Although there were occasionally a few disobedient students who opposed him, the vast majority of them were still very loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.  (To be continued)?¡­
