Chapter 1811: Hit the nail on the head

Looking at Ye Chunqiu, Zhu Zaiyao remained silent for a long time, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned, as if he was thinking deeply about something. After a long time, he finally felt enlightened: "What Yafu meant is that there will never be anything in this world that satisfies everyone."

"Yes." Ye Chunqiu smiled gently and chatted with the prince, which made his mood gradually relax. He stretched and said, "Of course, if His Highness becomes the emperor in the future, he must tell the people of the world that His Highness's governance is to satisfy everyone. To make everyone live and work in peace and contentment. Those who rule the world must say this, but when His Highness really wants to do things, he can only lean towards some people, attack some, and appease the vast majority of people."

"In the past, the literati and the emperor were the targets of the emperor's favor. But now, the literati have become a stumbling block, so... the emperor should win over another group of people to the world."

Ye Chunqiu looked at Zhu Zaiyao, who was still young, and couldn't help but feel sorry for whether he had spoken a little deeper.

However, he vaguely remembered that Li Dongyang also said this, which shows that Li Dongyang could see clearly about it.

So, how can Yang Yiqing, who is causing the deadlock in the Palace of Supreme Harmony today, not see clearly? He clearly felt that the implementation of the new policy has gradually shifted the country's major policies, and the old model has begun to undergo tremendous changes. I believe that this is also the reason why he is unwilling to accept it.

Ye Chunqiu was silent and remembered his thoughts.

Zhu Zaiyao looked at Ye Chunqiu who had just calmed down and couldn't help but say, "Father Ya, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your father?"

"Ah?" When Zhu Zaiyao mentioned this, Ye Chunqiu came to his senses and couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty? What do I want him to do? Your father... well, he is a man from heaven..."

Seeing Zhu Zaiyao tilting his head and not understanding, Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "He is an indestructible person, he is just a good person... Haha, I won't say it anymore. It's meaningless to say this now. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is now at an emergency. Because of this, Your Highness has to act like the head of a family. Although the crown prince is young,... he must be like an adult at this time. Okay, you and your mother, let's go to bed first."

After Ye Chunqiu said that, he bowed to Empress Dowager Zhang and returned to the hall.

Several ministers were already making trouble here and asked people to get some food and drink, but when they saw Ye Chunqiu coming out, they suddenly fell silent.

Ye Chunqiu was too lazy to pay attention to them. After a while, Qian Qian outside was lying outside the hall. Ye Chunqiu walked out slowly and said, "Brother Qian, what's going on?"

Qian Qian sighed and said, "The King Xing and his son are indeed very cunning. The Three Thousand Camps secretly protected them. I took people there with them. The Three Thousand Camps were patrolling nearby. I was afraid of causing a conflict, so I had to order people to retreat. Chunqiu, these Three Thousand Camps were afraid that they had already colluded with the King Xing and his son."

Ye Chunqiu nodded with consent and said, "I don't know what benefits these three thousand camps have achieved. They have such courage."

Qian Qian shook his head and said, "You don't know this." He was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty had exchanged border defenses with the border troops. The Three Thousand Battalions had been to the border town, and many of them had a close relationship with Yang Yiqing, who managed the border town Ma Zheng."

After thinking about it, Qian Qian sighed and said, "Chunqiu, I said something that should not be said. In fact... I am not convinced that you are still the prince, like a crucian carp crossing the river. Your Majesty used to train troops and was determined to train strong soldiers for hundreds of battles. Therefore, many redundant personnel were laid off from the Jingying camp. The soldiers were very dissatisfied. They also allocated Jingying to the border to guard the border, which also caused complaints. Think about it, most of the military officers in the Jingying camp were from the capital. The wives and children at home were here. They were so uncomfortable, but they had to go to Datong and Jinzhou to practice troops. They went there for three or five years. If anyone was, they would not be happy."

"So, now, the bad news came from Your Majesty. As far as I know, there are many commanders of the Beijing camp. Although they are sad, they are afraid that they will be happy in their hearts. Your Majesty cares about military affairs, and it is not wrong for the past 150 years. The people who lead the troops have been hereditary military officers, who live by eating empty wages and drinking blood from soldiers. Do you think that His Majesty can live their lives every now and then?"

Ye Chunqiu listened to Qian Qian's words silently and had to admit that what Qian Qian said was a sharp hit.

With Ye Chunqiu's example of becoming a new army in the country, Zhu Houzhao wanted to uncover the rotten sores in the Ming army, but after this, countless people suffered huge losses.

The same training is different, but there are differences in practice.

It is easy for Ye Chunqiu to train a strong army. He only needs to re-engineer the new army, and everything is starting over.

But Zhu Houzhao was different. He also wanted to train troops, but if he trained the new army, he would inevitably have to remove all the old army. This is something that the court and countless hereditary military officers could not accept.

But if we train troops on the old basis, the problem arises again. Will these hereditary military officers be willing to train troops together? Once they are to be rectified, a large number of redundant personnel will inevitably be laid off. But who are these redundant personnel? They are all old friends and relatives of military officers. On the surface, Your Majesty attaches importance to military affairs, which is beneficial to military officers and can improve their status, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

Military affairs must be changed, and government affairs must be changed. Zhu Houzhao purged the military and horses, and then the new policies implemented by Wang Hua all violated the interests of the old forces.

But don’t underestimate these people. Don’t think that they are useless and corrupted in normal times. It seems that his majesty’s will will allow them to drink the northwest wind.

But in fact, these people have been operating in their positions for a long time and can be said to have a deep root.

You know, after more than 150 years of entrenchment in the Ming Dynasty, which one would be a fuel-efficient lamp?

Ye Chunqiu could not see the joy and anger on his face, but he smiled indifferently and said, "What do you mean is that there is no reliable person in this Jingying?"
