Chapter 18: First show of strength (middle)

However, there are different opinions on the army. Although it is relatively peaceful, there is no big conflict with neighboring countries, and the riots are greatly reduced compared to the beginning of the founding of the dynasty. However, it is all because of the deterrence of the army. If a large-scale disarmament is carried out, various forces that did not dare to move around before will be ready to move. At that time, the government and the country will be full of dangers.

It seems to make some sense. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue both consider the issue from different perspectives.

I was listening. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue both threw the problem to me. Anyway, they couldn't fight for anything. With a war of verbalism, no matter how much talk wasted, it would be useless. The final decision was still in my hands.

Seeing that I couldn't hide, I coughed lightly and said aloud: "What I said is reasonable. From the perspective that Liu Aiqing stands, he is considering reducing the burden on the people, saving national expenses, and improving productivity."

I saw a hint of excitement on Liu Zhenming's face. It was obvious that the emperor could understand it, and he was quite satisfied.

Then I paused again: "What Yue Aiqing and Han Aiqing of the Ministry of War, what they said is not without reason. Without the deterrence of the army, there is no stability and prosperity for the people." As soon as I said this, Han Fei, Minister of War and the mighty general Jun Yue Chao, all looked much better. As I said, nodded in agreement.

"I am very pleased that you can do your position and a certain position. The court has all the pillars of the people, which is the blessing of the people. It is also the blessing of the court and my blessing." I said seriously, and a look of relief was squeezed out in my eyes.

"How to decide, please give me a message. I will definitely not have any complaints." Liu Zhenming, Yue Chao, and Han Fei were all moved by my understanding.

"I have a suggestion that it can save national expenses and not weaken the deterrence of the army." I said with a smile.

Sure enough, as soon as I said this, most of the ministers in the court showed a look of confusion and looked at me hopefully.

I nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "I want to set up another army."

"What?" Everyone in the court showed extremely surprised eyes. They couldn't believe that another army would save state expenses?

"My new army has been decided to name Fenggang." I said without waiting for them to object, and then said, "My army of Fenggang is not re-collected from the people. Everyone is smart, and they should understand that the key to soldiers is the essence, not the number of them. Throughout history, there are countless things that can be defeated by the few and eliminated by the essence. And my army of Fenggang is an army set up according to this principle. It is an extremely powerful elite army to intimidate the world."

I was secretly proud of myself. I just wanted to make a name and take power in my own hands. Although there were many smart people among the ministers, how could I dare to raise it directly? The world belongs to the emperor. The emperor wants to capture an army. If you obstruct it in every way, what is your intention? Then it is unknown. I am afraid that the shaking sword has already arrived on your neck.

Han Fei, the Minister of War, seemed to have heard some meaning and asked carefully: "Then Master, do you mean..."

"From now on, I will send people to draw the most elite soldiers from the army and form a new army's front. From now on, the imperial guards, reserve troops, and local troops will use the method of accumulating the advantages and eliminating the inferior and reduced to reduce some of the troops. The imperial guards retained the Liuchengren members of the original troops, and the reserve troops remained 30%, while the local troops retained 50%. All the eliminated personnel will return to their hometowns and join the society for production." I immediately said calmly: "I have a decision on this matter, and no one can object."

"Long live the reputation of my emperor." Liu Zhenming showed joy on his face, hurriedly bowed to the ground and congratulated me. No wonder I waved my pen and cut off more troops than he expected.

When the other neutral ministers saw it, they immediately knelt down and shouted long live. Although Han Fei and Yue Chao looked bad, they did not dare not follow the crowd and knelt down unwillingly.

Haha. This is called the fight between cranes and clams, and I, the fisherman, have benefited. The general of the sharp army has already had a candidate in my heart. Zhang Huang is from a military family. He is not only a good martial artsman, but also a meticulous mind. The most important thing is that he is loyal to me. In this way, with this sharp army, my power will be much more stable, and I will do whatever I want to do.

Mr. Li was probably unhappy because he was buried by me yesterday. Now he was sick and stopped the court. In this way, the opposition had no leader and no one dared to contradict me.

If Master Li knew about the result today, even if he was really sick, he would drag his body and even if he crawled, he would have to climb to the Golden Palace. Humph, let's see how I deal with you in the future.

When I saw that the major event was settled, I immediately announced my retreat. Now that I have cut off the mess, I have retreated very early, and it is still a while before noon.

The beautiful sun hangs high, shining on the ground and the earth is warm. Since winter has entered, there has been no such warm weather for a long time. I don’t sit in a sedan chair and walk around the inner courtyard of the palace. Walking is a good exercise. It not only exercises a person’s physique, but also promotes thinking ability. Many people’s inspirations are generated during walking.

The eunuchs didn't expect that I would suddenly be so leisurely and elegant today, so I had to follow me hula-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

After passing through Kunning Palace, he arrived at the Imperial Garden. He originally wanted to go back to Yangxinzhai to have a gathering with his girls, but he was surprised to be in the Imperial Garden. He thought the eunuchs were obsessed with each other, so he left all the way back and walked into the yard.

In the winter, the imperial garden is extremely deserted. Most of the flowers and plants have withered, but the clusters of winter chrysanthemums are blooming more and more, exuding a proud posture.

The flowers are originally one of the flowers I admire the most, and I admire its proud character. The flowers beside them bloom in the spring. However, the flowers are so unique, blooming their most proud bodies in that bitter and cold winter.

I watched the flowers all the way, and went deeper and deeper. Suddenly, just as I was intoxicated with the beauty of the chrysanthemum, a melodious sound of the piano floated over from afar.

I was slightly stunned. Who was so leisurely and elegant in the winter that I came to play the piano in the imperial garden? I suddenly felt curious and followed the piano sound. However, various small paths in the imperial garden were in secluded. No matter how I speeded up, I couldn't get close to the piano sound. I was so angry that I stomped my feet. Damn, the garden was built so complicated that I was about to burn it.

I was about to give up, but I was not very willing to think about it. Suo closed his eyes and listened to the source of the piano for a while. After determining the direction, he went straight to the other side regardless of the obstruction of the flowers and shrubs.

Although this move worked, it was not easy to feel good after all. The dragon robe was cut by some dead wood branches. It was not known how many parts were cut.

Finally, I found the sound of the piano, but there was a large pond in the middle. The piano player was just above the pavilion in the middle of the pond. Since he was facing away from me, I could not see how she looked. I could only see that she did not comb her palace bun, but let her long hair float on her shoulders. On her back, she was covered with a snow-white cloak.

If I were at the moment, if I wanted to reach the pavilion, I would almost go around half a pond. I looked at the flowers around me, and my scalp became numb, so I had to give up. Then I listened carefully to her piano sound.

The melodious sound of the piano floated across the pond from the hexagonal pavilion and reached my ears. I could only hear the sound of the piano. I was a person who didn't understand the rhythm. I just thought the music was very good, but I couldn't hear any Mingtang after all. The more I heard the last, I could feel a sad and lonely atmosphere from her tunes.

Infected by the atmosphere, I felt pity in my heart. I almost wanted to hold her in my arms, comfort her, and then spread the principles of a happy life with her.

As I was immersed in my fantasy, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The woman stood up and asked the palace maids beside her to put away the zither and look into the distance of the pond. From the shaking of her back, she could see that she sighed heavily there.

Then, she saw her greeting her maid and slowly walked out of the pavilion. A gust of wind blew towards her, causing her black hair to float up.

I hurriedly shouted, "Hey, the one on the opposite side, please wait a moment, don't leave." To be honest, for some reason, I especially wanted to see what she looked like in front of her. From beginning to end, I didn't see what she looked like.

The woman did stop. Just as I thought she wanted to turn around, she suddenly accelerated and left in a hurry. No matter how many times I shouted behind me, she didn't look back until she disappeared at the corner of the flowers.

I immediately returned to the trail and looked for her traces, but I was not satisfied with it. I didn't even see the corner of her clothes. But I was so tired that I breathed.

In desperation, I had to find my way home. If the builder of the Imperial Garden lived in the world, I would have been cut off by me. I went around it for more than half an hour before I ran out of the Imperial Garden. I returned to Yangzhai.

Today's imperial meal was also delicious, and my heart was full of that desolate back. As soon as the morning court ended in Ming Dynasty, I must look for it again...
