From a warm invitation to a total denial, Gu Jiu's face changed very quickly.
Duke Zhu's old face couldn't hold back any longer.
Shame!
He admits that he can't beat the civil servants in a war of words.
It's a shame that he can't even beat the empress!
In fact, Zhu Guogong did not understand the truth.
Gu Jiu has never lost a war of words in all these years.
He lost, not wronged.
The words that the empress scolded the military commander and him kept ringing in his ears, and he was powerless to fight back.
He wiped his face and stopped putting on airs.
"The empress thinks highly of this old man, and she was flattered to let me be the first dean of the Military Academy."
Gu Jiu chuckled, "I suddenly want to change my mind. It's too unkind to force the Duke to do something he doesn't like."
"There is no coercion, no inhumanity, and no dislike." Zhu Guogong denied it three times, and his desire to survive was very strong.
A large real fragrance scene.
Gu Jiu had a half-smile, "Master Guo said before that he was too old and unable to do the job."
"This old man is a military general, he has always been in good health, and he can still help the court, His Majesty, and Empress' worries for another ten or twenty years."
Zhu Guogong is also a ruthless person.
He slapped himself in the face with a loud slap, without showing any mercy.
I pretended to be forceful before, but now I have to pick it up and swallow it all by myself.
The taste is very sour!
It can be regarded as bending and stretching!
Worthy of being a generation of famous generals, he can afford it and let it go.
Face or something, there is no real benefit.
Scholars run academies, and they are flourishing.
On the military commander's side, at least he had to make some noise, so that the civil servants couldn't compete.
Gu Jiu understood it, and continued to ask: "So the Duke is willing to be the first dean of the Military Academy?"
"The old man is willing to drive for the empress."
"Not forced?"
"Never force it!"
"No resentment?"
"Absolutely no resentment. Your Majesty gave the Northwest Army a way out for Marquis Lu. In fact, the generals were very happy. My Majesty and Your Majesty are definitely not people who cross rivers and tear down bridges. Everyone is very relieved."
"So before that, was there anyone who worried that His Majesty and Ben Gong would be cunning when they treated military generals?"
"Most of the generals have never read books, they are all a bunch of straight-hearted people, what to say. There was a bit of grumbling before, but now it has calmed down."
The large-scale real fragrance scene continues to be staged crazily.
Zhu Guogong was so arrogant and arrogant before, and now he is so humble and submissive.
People, don't just put your pen on.
Because you will be slapped in the face!
Even the person who slaps the face is yourself.
Gu Jiu was serious.
In fact, she really wanted to laugh, but she was afraid of irritating Duke Zhu. In case the old man turned into a rage and left in a huff, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.
She coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "I am not a narrow-minded person, so there is no need for the Duke to be nervous. The dean of the Military Academy, a third-rank official, will take on the important task of training the middle and lower ranks of the Great Zhou.
In the army of the Great Zhou, whether there will be generals who lead the army in the future, whether it can be passed on from generation to generation, and whether the tactical thinking of civil servants can be passed down for hundreds of thousands of years depends on whether the military academy can be established. "
"This old man will definitely live up to your mother's expectations, and will definitely run the academy."
"That's great! At present, the academy is directly under the leadership of the palace. As soon as something happens, the Duke of the Kingdom will report it to the palace. When the time is right, the Military Academy will be assigned to the Ministry of War and managed by the Ministry of War. The future trend, Minister of the Ministry of War He will also serve as the dean of the Military Academy."
Duke Zhu took a deep breath and frowned slightly.
He was deeply worried, "Is it appropriate for the Minister of the Ministry of War to concurrently serve as the dean of the Military Academy? Isn't the authority of the Minister of the Ministry of War..."
Gu Jiu said casually: "I know what the Duke is worried about. According to the tradition of this dynasty, most of the ministers of the Ministry of War are appointed by civil servants. The Duke is nothing more than worried that the civil officials will encroach on the power of the generals. In order to prevent this situation, in the future, The post of minister of the Ministry of War must be held by a general.
Therefore, military commanders must go to the academy to remake them, and cultural courses must not be left behind. Otherwise, if you go to court with the Ministry of Accounts to ask for money, how can you get money from people who say you can't win the Ministry of Accounts? The people from the household department are not easy to deal with. They will use any means for money. "
"Your Majesty is right! Throughout the dynasties, military generals have suffered from lack of education. In quarrels in court, they can't win against civil officials, and they are always criticized by civil officials as worthless. Once the emperor leans towards civil officials, the life of military generals will be difficult! "
"Then change this situation from now on, the Duke is confident."
"The empress has confidence, and the old man has confidence."
Gu Jiu laughed in satisfaction, "That's great! Although the academy has not been completed yet, the Duke of the Kingdom can start to select the first batch of students from the various military camps. I don't have many requirements, and I don't care about my background. If it's special Excellent, worthy of training, even if you can’t read, you can be admitted as an exception. The college will set up literacy classes according to the situation. In addition, the students should come from the major military camps. Students from the south, north, west, east, and Beijing Daying camp must be selected. Can’t let Beijing Daying is unique.”
Zhu Guogong said with emotion: "Your Majesty has worked so hard, I already understand. After I go back, I will send letters to the generals of the major military camps, asking them to recommend students."
Gu Jiu emphasized, "The recommended students must have real talents and real learning, which are worth cultivating. A military academy is by no means a gold-plated place for a family of generals, but a place where you can earnestly learn the classics."
Speaking of fighting father, the military camp is the same as the officialdom.
During the war, young soldiers and generals with no background still have the opportunity to stand out and be promoted and reused.
In peaceful times, if a young soldier with no background is not attached to a family of generals, he can only be a young soldier forever, and he will never get ahead.
Being an official, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a general, is the same struggle for resources.
Resources are limited and there are so many people competing.
what to do
Block the road!
Or kill competitors with no background on the way.
Therefore, the struggle between courts is always so fierce, and there is always a group of people rushing forward desperately.
Even if the head is broken, it will not hesitate.
The purpose of running a military academy is to train generals and pass on the torch.
Don't live in peace for twenty years. When it comes to war, there is not even a commander-in-chief to lead the army. Even the strategy of the art of war has been lost, it is really terrible!
The second is to give young soldiers with no background a chance to stand out.
If you can tap the talents of natural generals, you will earn money!
In addition to the military academy, Gu Jiu also plans to set up ten martial arts schools across the country in the next ten years, select talents, and form a martial arts atmosphere among the people.
With martial arts, you will have the courage to go into battle and kill the enemy.
When it comes time to fight, you don't have to worry about the quality of the soldiers not being up to standard and not seeing blood.
Martial arts atmosphere is also conducive to outside customs and overseas development plans.
Only those who are not afraid of death, have an adventurous spirit, and are ambitious are willing to step out of the familiar comfort zone and go to a dangerous place to fight for wealth.
Scholars, after all, step by step. In many cases, people need to push forward before they are willing to make changes.
Zhu Guogong just nodded to the empress's words.
"A dozen sets of the textbooks required by the academy have been compiled. Tomorrow, I will send someone from the palace to send the sample textbooks to the Duke. If there are any mistakes, please correct me."
Zhu Guogong was stunned, all the textbooks have been compiled
Then, he figured it out again.
After all, the person in front of her was the empress, the omnipotent figure in people's mouth.
"The textbooks that the empress said are not all the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"Of course not! They are all books related to martial arts and fighting. Unfortunately, the books are all kept in the palace today, so the Duke cannot have a sneak peek."
"The old man is really curious about the content of the textbook."
"I'll see you tomorrow, the Duke doesn't need to be in a hurry."
Zhu Guogong stroked his beard, "So, Your Majesty and Your Majesty already planned to open a military academy a few years ago."
Gu Jiu didn't deny it, "The idea of establishing a military academy has actually been around for many years. I had this plan as early as when I founded Shanhe Academy. It's just that the conditions were not ripe at that time, so I could only offer a riding and archery course in Shanhe Academy, which is better than nothing." .”
"Your Majesty is so modest! I never thought that Your Majesty would have thought of this so many years ago. I am ashamed. As a noble general, I never thought of doing anything for the general. I only know how to take care of those around me." Soldiers."
Zhu Guogong looked ashamed, very uncomfortable.
He, a dignified and noble military general, is not as far-sighted as a woman.
Comparing the two phases makes a judgment.
He is not as good as the empress.
But Gu Jiu said: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. The Duke really has a plan to open a military academy, and the court should suspect whether you have the intention of rebelling. The Duke can arrange the soldiers around him, it is a kindness." Righteousness, has fulfilled its responsibility."
Zhu Guogong smiled wryly.
"The imperial court always guards against superfluous trust in generals." He complained in a low voice.
He thought, with the empress's generosity, she would definitely not argue with him.
Gu Jiu really wouldn't argue with him, and even echoed his words, "People who are emperors are always afraid of generals who lead troops in battle. It seems that all generals are rebellious and try to rebel."
Huh
This style of painting is wrong.
"Have Duke Zhu thought about whether there is any way to prevent this from happening?"
Lord Zhu shook his head slowly, then nodded again, "I often think about this problem, but I can't find a solution. Does your empress have a solution?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "Try slowly, don't rush. At least I trust the generals of the imperial court and believe that they will not rebel."
Because there is no soil for rebellion, you can naturally rest assured.
Even King Anxi, the former Marquis of Lu, the biggest villain, did not rebel, so how could other generals have the ability to rebel.
Rebellion requires the right time, place and people.
God has been cruel for many years, but the past seven or eight years have been smooth and cooperative. The time for rebellion is over.
Without the right time, the right place and the right people will not exist.
rebel
Just kidding!
It's good to be a general of the Great Zhou.
Now the imperial court does not withhold everyone's salaries, and money and food can basically be delivered on time.
Occasionally, it is late, that is, half a month and a month late.
Compared with the situation in the past where there was a delay of three to five years and no salary, the days of serving as a soldier are really happy.
The treatment of the army can be paid on time and according to the amount, and the enthusiasm of the people to serve as soldiers has increased a lot.
The imperial court's task of recruiting soldiers was completed smoothly.
Zhu Guogong took the task and took the opportunity to recommend several talents to the empress.
Gu Jiu was very generous and agreed to all of them.
"I believe in the vision of the Duke, the person you recommend will definitely be the same."
"Thank you, Empress, for your trust."
After talking about the business, Zhu Guo announced his resignation and left.
Soon he will take office as the first dean of the military academy, and preside over the preparations for the establishment of the academy.
As soon as the news came out, there was a huge wave among the military commanders.
"After so many years, it's not easy for the palace to finally miss our military general!"
"What is the name of this military academy?"
"Naturally it is the place to train generals."
"You can train generals by studying, I'm afraid it's not a joke."
"Students are selected directly from the military camp, so why can't they be trained?"
"Don't rush to argue. This military academy, the palace named Zhu Guogong and the old man to be in charge, I can understand. But the Gu family is also a noble family, why didn't the palace give the Gu family a chance to prepare for such a major event as the military academy? The Gu family No matter how you say it, she is also a relative, a serious honorable man with sufficient qualifications."
"It's really weird to say that. The empress has always taken care of her own family, but she didn't even give the Gu family a chance. It's too indifferent."
"Have you all forgotten the matter of Uncle Taiping's refusal to keep filial piety? Without the support of the empress, he, Gu Ting, dared to risk the world and refused to be filial to his stepmother. It is obvious that the empress has resentment towards her natal family, so Refuse to give her family a chance."
"That makes sense!"
"This relative of the Gu family is aggrieved."
