Then Ji Wuji nodded and said: "Okay! Since you all think it's feasible, let's do it. I'll leave this matter to you two, how to attract the two countries, how to gather troops from various cities, and expand the national defense force." , How to reform the court party, I will leave it to the eighth brother.
As for the selection of talents, the imperial examination system will be implemented, and I will leave it to you, the son-in-law, if I pretend to move the capital. I hope that you two will unite as one and tide over the difficulties for my great week. "
"It's Your Majesty, we will do our best." Xu Ding and the Eight Sage Kings came out to give the order.
Soon Ji Wuji gave the two objects that symbolized power, and issued an imperial edict, which was sent to the whole country.
The next day, Ji Wuji did not go to court, but the imperial edicts were issued one after another.
Countless messengers came out from the palace, and then out of the capital city.
The notice was posted all over the country in a short time, and the Great Zhou Empire was suddenly shrouded in a haze of tension.
"According to the emperor's decree, from now on, our Great Zhou will implement a compulsory military system for the whole people. Anyone who is over 46 to [-] years old, regardless of meritorious merchants, kings, princes and common people will all serve in the military, so as to strengthen our Great Zhou army and strengthen our Great Zhou. , To resist the threat of the northern barbarians, to protect the peace of Zhou.
The empire urgently expanded its army by 20, giving priority to the young and strong. The salary is temporarily increased to ten times the original level. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I hope that my good man will join the army, guard the frontier, and bless his wife."
Seeing the decree posted on the notice wall, the people onlookers were all shocked.
"It seems that the rumors are true. The Eastern Tang Empire has really betrayed us. It's really messed up."
"Eastern Tang Empire ignores our life and death. This is because they want my Great Zhou to perish. His Majesty was so sad that he had to recruit and expand his troops. I hope that our Great Zhou will unite as one and resist the barbarians together."
"Eight Sage Kings are in charge of this matter. I heard that Yijing has set up camp outside the city. Anyone who is willing to enlist in the army can get a settlement allowance. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I will go first."
The excitement here has not been finished, the information has not been digested, and Xu Ding has a new announcement over there.
"According to the emperor's decree, when the country is in crisis, the lord of Xiaoyao City Xu Ding is responsible for selecting talents for the country. From now on, the imperial examination system will be implemented in the Zhou Dynasty, which will be divided into six categories: science, martial arts, engineering, medicine, agriculture, and business. Those who are capable, regardless of their origin or nationality, can be awarded official positions and serve the country if they pass the examination!"
"What? Our Great Zhou will also learn from Nanming and Dongtang, and we will only promote talents. Well, my Great Zhou has hope."
"However, there are more subjects in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Warriors can also take imperial examinations, and there are also business examinations."
"What's the matter, Xiaoyaohou is also a doctor. Not only is his talent and martial arts superior, he is also proficient in medicine. If he can cure the third princess, who can't be cured by anyone in the world, with Xiaoyao to preside over it, he will definitely not lie."
"So, I have to quickly inform the kid who knows my family and let him wipe it off"
"I don't ask about my background, I don't ask about my country. When I understand it, I want to write to Nanming and tell my cousin that his chance to succeed has come."
"I also want to write a letter to Xiqin. My elder brother who can only play with instruments should be able to secure the first place. The number one in engineering must be my cousin."
The announcements went on one after another, and the whole city of Haojing boiled.
Soon this enthusiasm swept across the other three countries, and the entire East was also boiling, discussing the matter of Zhong Zhou everywhere.
Nanjing City, the imperial capital of the Southern Ming Empire.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the empire, stood firmly outside the dragon chair, stared at the officials below, and asked calmly, "I heard that there was another trouble in Zhongzhou. You can find out what Ji Wuji's real intention is."
At this time, a capable young man stood up and said: "Return to Your Majesty, according to the news from our Jinyi Guards, Ji Wuji started to prepare for the relocation of the capital, with a large amount of money and food transferred to Xiaoyao City, and most of the royal family's women and children were sent away quietly." Went to Xiaoyao City, it is said that Xiaoyao City is being expanded, so there must be signs of turning it into a companion capital."
"Huh! Ji Gang, check it out and report it to me. I don't want to hear the word "said", so I immediately send someone to Xiaoyao City." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and blamed him with some dissatisfaction.
Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, bowed in fear and respect: "It's Your Majesty, it's my minister who missed the investigation, and the people of Jinyiwei went to Xiaoyao City with scriptures."
"Get back!" Zhu Yuanzhang cast a glance, waved his sleeves, Ji Gang retreated to his position, and then secretly glanced at the Fourth Highness Zhu Di.
Judy gave him a sneering look, the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
It turned out that this Ji Gang belonged to the second prince, and he was not on the same side as the fourth prince Zhu Di.
So after Zhu Di came back, Ji Gang didn't take Xu Ding seriously, and didn't send anyone to understand Xu Ding.
This also counts as negligence.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly: "What do you think I, Daming, should do?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that I should send people to Haojing to tell Ji Wuji not to mess around. Without Dongtang, I, Nanming and Xiqin, can keep them safe. There is no need to expand the army. When necessary, we can hint that we can send More troops were stationed in Zhongzhou and even the northern border.
But you need to pay more money in the middle of the week. "Prime Minister Hu Weiyong stood up and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and a group of military ministers stood up and said: "The ministers and others agree with what the prime minister said, there is no need to expand the army in the mid-week, and my Ming Dynasty can keep them safe."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't change his expression at all, and asked all the ministers to wait for a while before he said: "Since all the Aiqing agree, let's do what Hu Aiqing said."
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers immediately sent compliments.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since you have been to Zhongzhou, then you can talk about it."
He is still sure of the ability of the fourth son, among all the sons he is considered capable of martial arts.
"It's the royal father, and the son is taking the order!" Zhu Di stood up and took the order.
Ji Gang and the second prince looked at each other, and then looked at Zhu Di with murderous intent in his eyes.
The Fourth Highness is too capable, and his strategy is no worse than that of the current emperor. He is the biggest threat to the contenders for the throne.
If it weren't for being ranked fourth, the emperor would have conferred him the crown prince by the scriptures.
It's just that the emperor is still young, and the former prince Zhu Biaoyi has the eldest son Zhu Yunqi, and Zhu Yunqi is especially liked by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he is vacillating about not choosing the prince.
After retiring from the court, grandson Zhu Yunqi will definitely go to pay Zhu Yuanzhang a routine.
Today is no exception, Zhu Yunqi has long been waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang in the Palace of Qinzheng.
Zhu Yunwen routinely reported yesterday's studies to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As usual, Zhu Yuanzhang will check to see if Taisun has learned it and recorded it.
But today he didn't comment on these, but asked: "My dear grandson, have you heard about Zhong Zhou?"
Zhu Yunwen was taken aback, what does grandpa mean by this, why did he ask about Zhong Zhou.
When he came back to his senses, Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, and then added a diskette: "Grandfather, my grandson has also heard a little about the removal of the magic circle from the city in the northern part of the Mid-Zhou Dynasty by the Eastern Tang Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his grandson Zhu Yunqi and waited for a while. Seeing that he did not continue talking, his expression darkened a little, and he asked again: "Then what do you think about this matter? What do you think our Daming should do."
Zhu Yunwen didn't even think about it, or he had thought about it a long time ago, and he said proudly after taking the words: "Grandfather, Dongtang Kingdom's behavior is really out of the style of a big country, it's too petty, isn't it because Li Yuanji lost to that man in Haojing?" Does the owner of Happy City agree?
Regardless of the life and death of the people of the Central Zhou Dynasty, it is really unethical to withdraw the large formation protecting the border and let the northern barbarians go south to plunder.
It will be cast aside by the people of the world, and the Eastern Tang Kingdom will lose the hearts of the people, and sooner or later it will decline. "
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly without interrupting, and was secretly happy, so he went on to say: "My grandson thinks that my Ming Dynasty should condemn Dongtang, and my Ming Dynasty should show the momentum of a great country, weed out the strong and help the weak, and help the middle and Zhou dynasties." , win the hearts of the people.
If the Eastern Tang Dynasty wants to raise ten times the old currency, we will lower it by ten times. In this way, my Ming Dynasty will be supported by people from all over the East. My Ming Dynasty is the first to follow the lead, and there is a foundation for the unification of the world. "
