    The second year of Tianqi passed like this. It can be said to be a year of good and bad times. Generally speaking, the government was clear and the state affairs were smooth.  Although the treasury was still empty, Emperor Tianqi's inner treasury became abundant.  The fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed in the blink of an eye, and nothing important was said at the meeting.  However, after the meeting, a piece of news made all the officials happy. Han Kuang, the cabinet scholar, had become a scholar.  The originally peaceful officialdom once again caused ripples.  But before the ripples could make a splash, another even more shocking news came out: Emperor Tianqi was going to establish a military aircraft department.  Many people were confused by this new Yamen, but as soon as they inquired about it, they all gasped.  The status of the Military Aircraft Department is the same as that of the Cabinet. The Minister of Military Aircraft has the same responsibilities as the Cabinet Minister, but the Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the military.  The original military matters were separated from the cabinet, and all military matters related to the world were consulted by the Military Aircraft Department.  The local army was separated from the original official sequence, and the promotion and assessment of officers were discussed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Military Aircraft Department.  When such news came out, the government and the public were shocked, and there was a lot of discussion.  There are those who are in favor, there are those who are against it, and so on.  However, most of the opponents are rotten Confucians, and more officials who are truly practical are in favor.  Another person who agreed was interested in the official position. After all, the status of being equal to the cabinet bachelor gave many people who had no hope of joining the cabinet see hope.  In the early morning of the first day of February, Emperor Tianqi anxiously asked the civil officials of the fourth rank and above and the military attach¨¦s of the third rank and above in Beijing to discuss matters concerning the military aircraft department.  "The Emperor has arrived!" Accompanied by Wang Chengen's familiar shout, Emperor Tianqi walked to the back of the Long Bookcase and sat down. He looked at the ministers below with a smile and said with a smile: "My dear friends, please be free!"  , Retreat without incident!" After all the ministers stood up, Wang Chengen on the side shouted with a serious face.  After discussing several things.  There was a brief silence in the hall, and everyone knew that something important was coming.  But no one said anything, they were all looking around. No one was willing to do this.  Looking at the ministers below with a smile, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment and said: "The incident at the Military Aircraft Department has been spread for a few days. Dear friends, if you have anything to say, it is okay to say it. After all, it is a major matter of the country and we must be cautious." "  Your Majesty, I think it's very good!" As soon as Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan from the military department on one side stood up and looked at Emperor Tianqi respectfully, ignoring the eyes of the people on the other side.  Nodding, Emperor Tianqi pointed at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "It's a good thing if someone speaks up, Yuan Aiqing. Come and listen!" "Yes, Your Majesty! Soldiers are important matters of the country and must be observed. Since ancient times, military affairs have been the most important thing for the country.  The sage said that although the country is warlike, it will be in danger. Now the northern border is in peace. Although Jiannu has suffered heavy losses, the Mongolian Tatars in the northwest are still watching.  This is a good strategy, and I feel it is imperative to implement it." Yuan Chonghuan talked eloquently.  He looked high-spirited.  Emperor Tianqi nodded. Yuan Chonghuan looked good and what he said was very reasonable. No wonder Emperor Chongzhen believed what Yuan Chonghuan said in the fifth year of Ping Liao.  However, Emperor Tianqi is not Emperor Chongzhen. It remains to be seen whether Yuan Chonghuan can be used.  "Master Yuan, I'm afraid there's something wrong with what you said! The saint only thinks about how important the military is to the country, and it's not appropriate to deal with military matters. The current military system is an ancestral system, and it seems inappropriate to change it.  Besides, it involves too much, so I think we should consider it carefully. "The person who stepped forward this time was Yu Datong, the Minister of Rites.  Looking at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile on his face, his words were not polite.  "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. It seems that there is no need to talk about whether the ancestral system can not be changed. Times have changed. How can it be pedantic to not know how to adapt? Important matters in the court should be taken prudently. How can we not take it lightly because of the ancestral system?  Abolition? In the past, when Taizu first ascended the throne, he also had the position of prime minister. But after the Hu Weiyong case, Taizu dismissed the prime minister and established a cabinet. Why? Maybe it was because the prime minister had too much power and there was no need to go into detail after his death.  ?" Yuan Chonghuan looked at Yu Datong and said without changing his expression.  Seeing that Yu Datong was about to speak again, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about it far away, just talk about Zhang Juzheng's reforms in the early years of Wanli, which made the treasury full. The establishment of the Municipal Shipping Department, and the southeast coast is no longer troubled by Japanese pirates. These are all the results of the reform. Yu Datong  Are you turning a blind eye?" Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile on his face, he was really not afraid of anyone.  On one side, Yu Datong¡¯s face turned red and he hesitated without saying anything. Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s hats were not too small.  From Taizu to Wanli, Yu Datong was immediately speechless.  "Master Yuan, no one is sure about the merits of reform. Why is Master Yuan so precise? There have been many reforms in history, but how many have really succeeded? Reform is not easy. I ask the emperor to think again!" Yu Datong retreated  After coming down, Zhang Chengyu, the head of the official department on one side, came out and said respectfully.    Yuan Chonghuan wanted to speak, but before she could speak, Yang He, the left governor of the Inspectorate behind him, stood up and said: "Master Zhang, what you said is wrong. Regardless of the success or failure of the reform, the fundamentals are  The country's policies have reached a point where they have to change. If they don't change, the country will be destroyed. Regardless of success or failure, reforms must be carried out. Nowadays, the military is in ruins, soldiers everywhere are declining, and corruption in the military is serious. It has reached a point where politics is no longer necessary.  The situation. Think of the time when the Ming Dynasty's military was at its peak when Taizu Dingding was in power, and the Yuanmeng Tatars fled. " His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Yang He continued: "Now the military is decadent, and the slave-building in Liaodong is so rampant.  Are you turning a blind eye? Now that the emperor is the leader of the Ming Dynasty, he has changed the military system of Liaodong and wiped out the decline of Liaodong. This is why Liaodong has such a great victory. I ask the emperor to establish a military aircraft department and at the same time change the military system across the country to follow the words of Liaodong!  Everyone in the hall was shocked. No one expected that Yang He would express such an opinion, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.  The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department was already an extraordinary move, and now it is actually necessary to reform the entire military system.  However, many people also understand that the military reform in Liaodong has been very effective, and it is imperative to implement military reform.  "But there are so many trainee officers now. If there is a nationwide restructuring, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"  Many ministers came out to advise, and for a while the morning court seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, and the noise was very loud.  Emperor Tianqi sat on the dragon throne with a calm face, looking at the quarreling ministers below, looking indifferent.  For such a long time, Emperor Tianqi had long been accustomed to attending court so early.  After picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, Emperor Tianqi knew that the time was almost up.     Snapped!  He slapped Gentian hard and said loudly: "Shut up, everyone!" With a sound, the hall suddenly became quiet.  Emperor Tianqi pointed to the ministers below and said: "How decent are you all? They are all people who read the books of sages. How decent are you? Is the court a place where you are noisy? Do you think this is a restaurant? Are you all drinkers?"  "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I deserve death!" This scene was not new at all. The ministers naturally knew how to cooperate and quickly knelt down on the ground.  But most of them have an indifferent expression. They have experienced this kind of thing a lot, so it¡¯s not a big deal.  Emperor Tianqi also knew that this could only be done. He waved his hand and said: "Let's settle the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department like this! The cabinet will write a charter imitating the cabinet. I will take a look and decide it. As for the Minister of Military Aircraft, all my dear friends, please go back and think about it.  I think I will recommend a cabinet minister at the next court meeting. But let me say it before. This military minister is different from the cabinet minister. He is not limited to civil and military officials. He will retire from the imperial court." After saying this, Emperor Tianqi stood up and left.  Got out.  The ministers in the main hall all stood up, no longer as excited as they were just now, as if they were not the ones who had just been quarreling.  Sun Chengzong, who was standing at the top, had a smile on his face. Emperor Tianqi had already discussed the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department with the cabinet bachelor and the six ministers in private. This meeting was just a formality.  Although the quarrel was serious, the one with the highest official position was Yang He, the left governor and censor.  However, Sun Chengzong discovered a very interesting person, that is Yuan Chonghuan, who was involved in the military affairs.  Although he was only a fifth-rank official, no one dared to underestimate this official position. He was a close servant of the emperor.  It seems that Emperor Tianqi put Yuan Chonghuan in this position with some consideration!  Sun Chengzong thought so.  "Master Yuan, I wonder if you can have a chat with me?" Sun Chengzong looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile and said.  Unexpectedly, it was Sun Chengzong. Yuan Chonghuan was stunned. He quickly saluted and said: "I have met your Excellency. I don't know if you have anything to ask about. Your Majesty must tell me everything I know." Facing Sun Chengzong, the number one official in the Ming Dynasty.  , Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to salute at all, and stood aside with a slight bow, waiting for Sun Chengzong to ask questions.  The ministers walking on the road looked here intentionally or unintentionally. Sun Chengzong's every word and deed was very attention-grabbing.  However, Sun Chengzong didn't mean anything. He stretched out his hand to help Yuan Chonghuan up and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, there is no need to be polite. I just want to talk to Master Yuan about the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department."  I had never been in contact with Sun Chengzong, so I didn't dare to speak at this time.  "Master Yuan, I am not an intolerant person. If Master Yuan has any ideas, it's okay to speak up. I see that Master Yuan seems to have more to say. I am willing to listen attentively!" Sun Chengzong didn't seem to let Yuan Chonghuan go, with a smile on his face and eyes.  He squinted slightly and looked at Yuan Chonghuan.  He really couldn't push it away, so Yuan Chonghuan naturally wouldn't push it anymore, and said with a smile: "Since your Excellency is so pleased with this, why not let the lower official do the work and find a place where the lower official can have a good chat with you?" Yuan Chonghuan also relied on his courage at this time.  , looked at Sun Chengzong cautiously.  "That's it! If Mr. Yuan doesn't dislike it, then go to my place!" Sun Chengzong smiled, looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said."I'm asking for it!" Not everyone can go to Sun Chengzong's house, so Yuan Chonghuan quickly agreed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
