Steel Dynasty - Chapter 810

[Chapter 809: Going sideways]

“Now take my decree and go to the Imperial Guard camp to mobilize some troops to quell this chaos.”

Seeing that the strength of the guards could no longer maintain order in the city, Xiao Ming gave the order. As for the reason The chaos in the city will be investigated later.

Qian Dafu responded and took Xiao Ming’s military talisman to the imperial guard camp. Xiao Ming returned to the palace under the protection of the guards.

Outside the palace gate, Feiji and Pang Yukun were waiting for Xiao Ming. When they saw Xiao Ming coming back, they immediately came over.

Before the two of them could speak, Xiao Ming said, “If you have anything to do, we’ll discuss it in the imperial study.”

After that, he got off the carriage and led the two of them to the imperial study.

Sitting down on the chair, Xiao Ming looked at the two of them and said directly: “I know the reason for your coming, it must be for the chaos in this city.”

Fiji said: “It was an article on astronomy in Qingzhou Daily that triggered this For this reason, I read this article specifically. It is really shocking. “

Fei Ge is serious, but it is not shocking. It is just some facts.” Pang Yukun didn’t take it seriously. Pang Yukun has been hanging around in college for a long time, and now his thinking is no different from that of students studying technology.

Xiao Ming did not discuss the matter of astronomy with the two of them, so they were caught off guard by this matter. After pondering for a while, he said: “Now that you all know it, what do you think now?

Fiji is the head of the country and also the cabinet .

The minister, of course, cares most about Xiao Ming’s imperial power. Other matters can be easily discussed, but he will be anxious to anyone who threatens Xiao Ming’s status.

After pondering for a moment, he said: “Your Majesty, what I am worried about is giving others excuses. If this matter will be made a fuss about in the future, please don’t forget, Your Majesty, the Chu King’s problem has not been solved, and the third prince is still in Yizhou.

“Third prince?

“

Haha, Fei Ge is worried for nothing. I asked the third prince to govern Yizhou on the surface, but in fact he was exiled. Moreover, the secret guards have been monitoring his every move. I know how to deal with it when necessary. “Xiao Ming said.

Pang Yukun and Feiji looked at each other, and Pang Yukun said: “Your Majesty, what Fei Ge Lao is really worried about is the King of Chu. If the throne does not come from destiny, wouldn’t this be in line with what Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said, the princes will be in peace with each other. Is there any kind? In this case, I am afraid that powerful ministers will covet the throne. “

Xiao Ming looked sideways at Fiji and Pang Yukun. He heard the meaning. There was something in their words.

“Are you worried about the army? “Xiao Ming frowned.

Fiji bowed and said, “Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Although there are long history constraints in this army, what should we do if the long history and the generals collude? “

Since ancient times, the most taboo thing is for the army to be outside and return to court in triumph. It will be very dangerous if the general has evil intentions. Now that the theory of celestial bodies has come out, the emperor has appointed generals to become a thing of the past. The most feared thing is that the generals will lose their restraints.” “Fiji spoke sincerely.

Pang Yukun did not oppose Fiji this time, and he obviously agreed with the matter.

In history, there are many things where the military is not subject to the emperor’s order. This is the source of the two people’s worries.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming sighed slightly.

He said, “I understand what the two elders mean, and it is for this reason that I will keep the most elite ones

.”

The Imperial Guard guards the important areas of the capital, and under the premise of separation of military and political affairs, the army is responsible for fighting, and the court is responsible for logistics. An army without food and pay will not accomplish much. Furthermore, the right to mobilize the army is in my hands now, and I will not do it for the time being. There will be a problem. After the army returns to the court this time, I will change the commander of the Tiger Army, so that they will not be able to turn the army into their own private army. “

Fiji and Pang Yukun just used this incident to remind Xiao Ming again. They were relieved to see that Xiao Ming had a good plan.

Especially the last item Xiao Ming said made them feel relieved. Now the Huben Army is divided into the First Army. , the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Shenji Army. Xiao Ming means that the commanders of these four armies will change positions regularly. Lu Fei is not in the First Army, but will serve for two or three years according to the system. Go to the Second Army again. In this way, the general will not be able to leave

a

deep-rooted influence in the army.

“Fiji and Pang Yukun said at the same time, feeling a little relieved.

Xiao Ming smiled. He was using modern methods of managing the army to manage his army. Of course, Fiji and Pang Yukun also had good intentions. Even in modern times, there are military governments that overthrow the government. The situation of the party, not to mention this era of backward information.

Putting this topic aside, Xiao Ming said seriously: “The most important thing at the moment is the astronomy. Ge Yiren, Yu Zhiyong, and Ni Kuang have already met with me. You are well aware of current affairs and promised me that I will calm down this matter and promote New Confucianism, so you two don’t have to worry. You only need to appease the officials in the court. I don’t want to see officials fooling around with Confucian scholars. “

After a pause, Xiao Ming emphasized his tone, “All officials who dare to criticize the theory of celestial bodies will be dismissed from their posts. This time I must correct the unhealthy tendencies of Great Chongqing. “

Fiji and Pang Yukun both trembled in their hearts. This time Xiao Ming is serious about it. If the current situation of the Chongqing country does not move forward in a drastic way, he is afraid that he will fall behind others.

The two agreed and said goodbye to Xiao Ming Walked out.

After seeing the two off, Qian Dafu came back from outside and reported the situation in the city,

“Your Majesty, this incident was indeed caused by a fight between Confucian scholars and businessmen. Now businessmen like this celestial theory very much. Spontaneous publicity is quite powerful. “

Xiao Ming nodded. The merchant reforms in these years have begun to bear fruit. Now the merchant class has been born after the scholar class. This new class is fighting for its own interests with the scholar class.

For Xiao Ming, this is a problem. It’s a good sign. Although I have never had a good impression of capital, I have to say that this force is the main force in pursuing innovation.

“Your Majesty, the guards have arrested hundreds of people and put them in prison, and they are now waiting for the Emperor’s disposal. “Qian Dafu said.

“Who made the move first?” Xiao Ming asked.

“He’s a Confucian scholar.”

“That’s easy. All the merchants involved in the fight were released, and the Confucian scholars were allowed to think carefully in prison. The current Chongqing country is no longer the way it used to be.” Xiao Ming said calmly. said.

In fact, he made a decision on the way back. No matter who did it this time, he would let the businessmen go and punish these pedantic Confucian scholars.

Because he wanted to show an attitude to the people of Qingzhou, that is, he firmly stood on the side of astronomy.
