After the general's rebellion was dealt with by Wang Ma Yu, the next step was to start a martial arts ceremony.

The imperial examination, a topic that makes the aristocratic families know the changes in their qualities, is also the only way to break the influence of the aristocratic families on the court. In the past, Ma Jin was able to successfully open the door to the examination because the aristocratic families did not understand new things, which made Ma Jin take advantage of loopholes. Now they already know what the examination is, and I am afraid that the military examination will be hindered. After all, for the aristocratic families, the interests of the family are much more important than personal life and death.

"My dear friends, do you still have to report?" Ma Jin said in a true voice. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Privy Councilor Xie Xuan standing up.

"I have something to report!" Xie Xuan stood up and bowed, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, since the establishment of the twenty-four guards of our court, the court has worked hard to obtain the army of the ten guards. There are few soldiers and few generals, and it is far from enough to defend the Shendu and the local guards. As far as I know, the county under the local commander's office has a total of six or seven million soldiers."

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to select capable, loyal and kind people from the Duwei Mansion and fill them with the twenty-four guards."

As soon as Xie Xuan said something, Ma Jin couldn't help but be stunned. I asked to mention the military rituals, why did you bring the topic to the matter of county soldiers entering the guard?

Then he came to his senses. This was Xie Xuan's appetite for the aristocratic family. With the county soldiers entering the guards, the aristocratic family would not have such a strong resistance to martial arts.

When Xie Xuan said that he wanted to lead the county soldiers into the guards, many officials from the aristocratic families suddenly lit up. Why were they suppressed so miserably by the little emperor? Isn’t it because they have no soldiers in their hands? If they could put their people in the twenty-four guards, they would be a toad that turned into a golden toad, and a cow.

"Xie Qing is very good at this discussion. I wonder if other beloved ministers have any objections?" Ma Jin smiled.

At this time, Li Mu also stood up and bowed:

"I report to Your Majesty. I think that the court not only wants to lead the county soldiers into the guards, but also select brave generals in the county government to fill them in the guards, so as not to create a situation where there are soldiers but no generals."

Ma Jin nodded with a smile, and the officials of the aristocratic family in the palace were already overjoyed. Unexpectedly, someone would give him a pillow when he was sleepy. Li Mu's words were really raining in time. For a moment, Li Mu suddenly became taller in the eyes of the aristocratic family. He was a good person!

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

Just as the officials of the aristocratic family were cheering, a sudden sound rang out, making everyone's expressions froze, and they saw Changsun Wuji suddenly strode out.

The smile on the corner of Ma Jin's mouth became deeper and deeper. It's no shame that he is a famous figure in history. Although he didn't tell them what to do, he knew just by intuition that he should stand up, beat the drums and gongs.

"I am the eldest son of Changsun, why do you object? Let's hear it."

Changsun Wuji's face turned straight and said in a solemn voice:

"I heard from Your Majesty that although the Shendu vassal guards are the top priority, the local area should not be missed. If all the elite soldiers and generals are drawn out, how should we deal with it if there is something wrong with the local area?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Jin immediately showed a hesitant expression on his face, and the officials of the aristocratic family immediately stopped seeing the emperor's hesitant expression.

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Changsun is too worried. Although the place is important, it is more important than the safety of the Supreme God Capital? Thank you for your advice, it is a matter of success for thousands of years. It can not only enrich the defense of the God Capital, but also give local generals a promotion level, making them grateful."

Yin Huan, the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of Works, immediately jumped out and said loudly.

The Yin family where Yin Huan is located is also considered an old family. After Yin Heng, the former governor of Pingzhou, was destroyed by Ma Jin, the main character of the Yin family, was destroyed by Ma Jin. Yin took a lot of effort to push him to the position of Minister of Works.

At this time, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. In his opinion, if he could instigate a little and cause a conflict between the military and the cabinet, their aristocratic family could take advantage of the situation.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Lord Xie proposed great charity. Shendu is the land of the country, which is particularly important!" At this time, another official from a noble family jumped out and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

“…”

Someone took the lead, and the officials' sect naturally made great efforts. When Xie Xuan saw that the fire was coming, he naturally struck while the iron was hot and immediately bowed to Ma Jin and said:

"Since we have different opinions, please let Your Majesty decide!"

"Please give up on your lord!" Changsun Wuji also bowed to Ma Jin and said.

Ma Jin pondered for a moment, looked at the officials of the aristocratic family who were looking forward to it, so he said in a difficult way:

"I think both my dear friends make some sense and it's hard to make a decision for a while."

"Your Majesty, I have a way to do both!" Xie Xuan suddenly bowed.

"Oh?" Ma Jin said in surprise: "What's the method? Tell me quickly."

Ma Jin and Xie Xuan sang and got to the point in a blink of an eye. Xie Xuan looked straight and said loudly:

"When you come back to your Majesty, I think you can imitate the system of Wen Ju, launch a military Ju, and use the brave men from all over the world for the country, which can just fill the gap in local county officials."

Xie Xuan's proposal to start a military exercise immediately caused an uproar in the hall. The officials of the aristocratic families couldn't help but look ugly. There was a system of literary hearings before. Now if there was another martial arts exercise, wouldn't the promotion level passed down from generation to generation be broken? When they thought of competing with a group of mud legs and competing for official positions, these aristocratic officials felt like they were about to faint, which was too insulting to be gentle.

"Your Majesty, I think this martial arts cannot be driven!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

"Xie Xuan's move is suspected of being ulterior motives. The military generals of the court have been promoted step by step by step by step. Without military merits, and without qualifications, how can they be generals? If you can easily become an official with a few exams and show off your martial arts skills, wouldn't it disappoint the generals in the world?"

“…”

"Your Majesty, Xie Xuan's move is very suspicious of being ill-gotten. I would like to ask Your Majesty to kill such ruthless ministers to comfort the world."

“…”

"Your Majesty think twice!"

“…”

Ma Jin looked at the excited officials of the aristocratic family with a cold face. His eyes were filled with cold light. They were all a group of ungrateful wolves who were not familiar with them. They looked grateful just now, but when they were involved in their own interests, they immediately changed their faces.

However, no matter how angry Ma Jin was in his heart, he did not end directly. After all, he was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he had to end up personally regardless of his shame every time, why would Xie Xuan and other ministers do?

"My dear sirs, if the court does not conduct military exercises, how can we add to the missing positions in the army?" Xie Xuan is a veteran general in the army. He speaks with great energy and directly overshadows the noise of the ministers.

The Ganlu Palace suddenly became quiet, and the officials of the aristocratic family could not help but look at each other. Most of them were unfamiliar with the military formation. After the ten orifices were cleared, they naturally couldn't say a word or two. Moreover, they could not say blatantly that the generals they lacked should be chosen from their aristocratic family, which was purely impatient to live.

A minister immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I am all civil servants. If you don't understand military strategies, you should naturally be managed by the masters of the Privy Council. However, the military exercises are too shocking and contrary to the laws of the ancestors, and they must not be feasible!"

The shamelessness of the officials of the aristocratic family made Ma Jin laugh and suddenly said:

"Where is the Minister of War?"

The current Minister of War is Lu Xiangsheng, and the Minister of the Secretariat is Chen Kun. Chen Kun is amazing. He is from the Chen family in Yangzhou. The Chen family in Yangzhou can rank among the top ten among the Great Zhou families.

Chen Kun is the younger brother of Chen Jing, the head of the Chen family. You should know that the Chen family is known as the "Sea King Family" in Yangzhou. It almost monopolizes nearly 30% of Yangzhou's overseas trade. It plays an important role in Yangzhou, and its influence is even spread across several prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Ma Jin shouted, Chen Kun couldn't help but look tight, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He gritted his teeth and agreed:

"I'm here!"

"As the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, is the best-know in the cabinet. Lu Aiqing went out to work for the job. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he temporarily arranged the department affairs. What is the statement?" Ma Jin asked coldly.

Chen Kun couldn't help but complain secretly. Although the Ministry of War was in charge of the military's food, pay and pension, he could not handle the formation of troops at all. But since His Majesty had already asked, if he couldn't answer one, two, three, four, and five, if Long Yan was furious, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

Chen Kun was suffering for a moment, so he naturally knew that Ma Jin was fighting each other, just to let him express his attitude and support the military service. Just now, Ma Jin had already said that the Ministry of War was the most knowledgeable military service in the cabinet. If he supported the military service, the remaining civil servants would naturally not be able to say anything.

Chen Kun pondered for a while. If he agreed to the martial arts, he would offend other aristocratic families. However, if he did not agree, he would offend the emperor. If the emperor went crazy, he would directly knock him down and then implicate them in Yangzhou Chen family. At that time, other aristocratic families would never help them Chen family, but would instead add fuel to the fire to divide the power of their Chen family.

Chen Kun thought about it again and said with a tough bullet:

"I think Mr. Xie's proposal to conduct a military exercise is very appropriate. As the saying goes, good talents should be used well. Those who are capable should be missed. As long as you are brave and brave, are you afraid that you will not be able to take the exam?"

As soon as Chen Kun said this, officials from the aristocratic family couldn't help but glared at him. Chen Kun, the Minister of War, agreed. Those who had nothing to do with the military were even less likely to say anything.

The officials of the aristocratic family made some wax for a while, and when they were in vain, Yin Huan suddenly stood up and said:

"Mr. Xie, if you start a military exercise, will you only be talented and use your military power to determine your official position?"

"This is naturally. The court launched a military exercise to attract talents from all over the world. If we cannot only use our talents, wouldn't it go against our original intention? We should use military strategies and archery and horse martial arts to distinguish the top and bottom, and choose the best to be the general who leads the army." Xie Xuan said seriously.

Yin Huan was so happy when he heard this, it was because many of their Yin family had been practicing martial arts all year round and were skilled in archery and horses. If they were asked to participate in the martial arts ceremony, wouldn’t they all get into a martial arts position?

"Sir Xie, can anyone participate, such as my grandchildren?" Yin Huan asked directly.

"The land is not divided into north and south, and people are not divided into age, young, male and female. As long as I am a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you can participate!" Xie Xuan nodded and said.

When Yin Huan heard this, he immediately said:

"Your Majesty, I also support the launch of the military exercise!"

Yin Huan said this, and officials of other aristocratic families naturally understood that if they really wanted to hold a martial arts election, they would probably not be as good as the sons of their aristocratic families. What is a poor, rich and powerful martial arts? Not only did the children of aristocratic families teach them since childhood, they also eat various magical medicines every day, and they are naturally superior to the children of aristocratic families. Since the children of aristocratic families are called poor families, they naturally have no financial and material resources to squander them. In this way, what do they compare with the family?
