It has been snowing these days, but even so, the camp still maintains high morale. Ye Chunqiu took the lead and rode a white horse to the camp before the hour of Mao every day and accompanied everyone to start the day of training.

Although it was snow flying, no one complained. On the one hand, the habit became natural, and on the other hand, everyone held their breath. Under the guidance of Ye Chunqiu, this breath turned into motivation.

Not to mention them, even Ye Chunqiu was a little numb, especially the practice of the thrust. Although it was just easy to pierce the stick, if you want to do it well, you need to cooperate with your muscles and bones. The movements must be standardized, which can both attack and defend. This is the key to the thrust.

In addition, the cooperation of formation is also the most difficult. To maximize the power and unity is the most important thing. At first, it is just a sprint, and then it is trying to make everyone move forward. However, during the sprint and walking, many people find it difficult to coordinate. Some walk in a hurry, and some fall down. When a command is given, the long stick comes out, but it is scattered.

Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren corrected their movements again and again, and were exhausted and panting.

However, there was news from the Ministry of Personnel that Ye Chunqiu's Beijing Inspection was not good this year. The Beijing Inspection was based on the "Four Patterns and Eight Methods" to evaluate, which was against the so-called four Patterns, namely: Guard, Government, Talent, and Year. Each Clause is listed as competent, diligent, and third-class level according to its grades. Those who ranked first-class are registered must have the priority of being promoted to a foreign official. Guard represents ethics, and also divided into integrity, flat, and greedy; government represents government affairs, divided into diligence, flat, and lazy; talent, length, flat, and short; year refers to age, divided into youth, middle, and old.

The "Eight Methods" are: greed, cruel, inaction, unpretentious, old, sick, impetuous, and weak. They are given questions, dismissal or demoted, and retirement of elderly and sick people.

In other aspects, the Ministry of Personnel did not dare to make things difficult for Ye Chunqiu, but his ethics only had one level. The so-called level naturally means mediocrity. However, in the assessment of talent, it is listed as laxity, which means being slack in normal times. Among the eight methods, Ye Chunqiu's rating is impetuous.

Generally speaking, it is not a good word.

Obviously, although Ye Chunqiu was a Hanlin, his job was to be a minister. He had not trained his troops and even the Minister of War listed him as inferior. Naturally, there was article to do in the Ministry of Personnel.

The emperor has not been to court these days and has never summoned ministers. It is obvious that this time he was very excited. According to Hanlin colleagues, His Majesty burned all the maps he usually treasured.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel speechless. This map was a treasure of Zhu Houzhao. His favorite thing was to lie on the table and hold the map in a daze.

But the problem is that even if the new army is not strong, you are the emperor, don’t you have the Warriors’ camp, the twenty-six guards of your own army, the three thousand battalions, the Shenji camp, the Xiaoqi camp and the Five Military camps?

Ye Chunqiu can understand the character of the little emperor, and likes to be impulsive and fantasy.

People who are impulsive are prone to emotional excitement, but once they are hit, they like to give up. They like to fantasize. Once the fantasy is shattered, they like to make trouble and make things come out to attract attention.

It is now the end of November. Although it is only eight or nine days of training, Ye Chunqiu feels that he has a new understanding of the body refining technique of the Shadowless Sword. Today is a court discussion. Because the year is approaching, this should be the last court meeting in Zhengde in the fifth year.

Ye Chunqiu wore court robes early in the morning and then rushed to the Forbidden City to go to the palace to meet with all officials.

When we arrived at Baohe Hall, everyone thought that the emperor would most likely not come today, but as soon as we stood still, we heard the eunuch Chang promise: "The emperor is here."

Everyone was busy welcoming the carriage and saluted them one after another.

Zhu Houzhao's face was not very good. She had a crown and a bead with the prefix of the crown. The prefix of the crown blocked his face, making it impossible for people to see his face clearly. He slowly rose to the seat, but after he sat down, he didn't say anything.

Liu Jian stood up, cleared his throat and said, "What are the matters for all officials?"

Every court discussion is a summary of military and political affairs accumulated over the past month. It is roughly because some political affairs are controversial, so I will take it out and discuss it.

As usual, Baohe Palace was temporarily silent. Liu Jian thought that he should throw bricks and jade first and stroke his beard. He was about to speak, but someone stood up, but it was Liang Cheng, the Ministry of War, who served as the chief officer of Liang Cheng.

Although the Ministry of War is a low-ranking position, his status is very high, and he can even compete with the Minister of War. He slowly came out and said, "I have an envoy to report."

Zhu Houzhao was still motionless and did not say anything.

The eunuch who was attending the service said, "What's the matter?"

The man paused and said: "This year, the Ministry of War examined the guards of the capital. Among them, two guards and one army ranked inferior, especially the new army in Zhenguo. I think that since it is inferior and unworthy, it may be abolished to save public funds."

As soon as these words were spoken, the officials in the court did not find it strange, and even Liu Jian's face was very ordinary.

In a sense, the end-of-year review of the Zhenguo New Army is indeed too embarrassing, and it doesn't matter if it is laid off. After all, scholars join the army and are ridiculed, it is not good. As for Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren, one of them is Hanlin and the other has not yet officially resumed. It just so happens that they can withdraw from the Zhenguo New Army and do their duty and specialty again.

So Liu Jian didn't express any opinions, and even felt a little happy to see it.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, her face gloomy, and she seemed to have begun to hesitate and shake.

However, at this time, Ye Chunqiu was shocked. The new army in Zhenguo was his own hard work, and many of his ambitions were placed on it. Because of the new army in Zhenguo, there was a Zhenguo Mansion, and there was a platform for Ye Chunqiu to train troops and build workshops. Once it was cut off, where would the skin be left untie? Although he was still a Hanlin writer, he could still wait for the imperial edict in the palace, which was extremely noble, but Ye Chunqiu felt a strong sense of loss.

The new army in the country must not be abolished.

But why did the Ministry of War suddenly request abolition at this time?

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help looking at Xie Qian, but saw that Xie Qian's face was also a little surprised. He breathed a sigh of relief. It shouldn't be Mr. Xie's idea, so...

He turned his attention to Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai, the Minister of Personnel, and several eunuchs who accompanied Zhu Houzhao to the court to discuss.

One of the eunuchs had an unpredictable smile on their faces.

Is it Zhang Yong?

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself, but he slowly walked out.

He saluted Zhu Houzhao first and said, "How can the new army in the country be consumed...the public funds?"
