- After resting for half a month, I got acquainted with the situation in Beijing. According to the arrangement of the mansion, the three brothers joined the Great Zhou Imperial Army together.
Playing with the official seal in his hand, Li Mu shook his head secretly. The Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty sounded awesome, but they were actually doing the work of maintaining law and order in the capital.
It is inevitable for an army that has not experienced war for thousands of years to degenerate. It is filled with countless children of wealthy families, and it can be called the first choice for gold plating for noble children.
What caused all this to happen was a genius idea.
There are so many rich and noble families in the capital, and there are inevitably so many dudes, ordinary officials don't dare to take care of them at all.
In order to improve public security in central Beijing, a certain genius came up with the strategy of fighting poison with poison: call the children of the world's honorable nobles into the imperial army, and use the second generation to deal with the second generation.
In the beginning, the effect was really good. A group of dudes were beaten so hard that they dared not go out, and the law and order in central Beijing was greatly improved for a while.
However, as time went by, this group of beaten playboys also joined the Forbidden Army, and the situation began to take a turn for the worse. The Great Zhou Forbidden Army once became a concentration camp for playboys.
After taking office today, the Forbidden Army was reformed again. On the basis of the original recruitment, additional cultivation base restrictions are added:
Baihu: Start on the ninth floor of the day after tomorrow; (the eighth grade)
Qianhu: Congenital start; (Zheng Qipin)
Colonel: Congenital seven-level start; (sixth grade)
Dutong: Congenital ninth floor starts; (positive fifth grade)
Pi Jiang: Heaven and man start; (fourth grade)
As soon as the threshold was raised, the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, which was overcrowded, suddenly became empty.
As it turns out, this doesn't do much. It didn't take long for the Imperial Army to become a concentration camp for noble children again, the only difference being that the average age of enlistment for officers had increased.
Thirty or forty years of age can't reach the ninth level of acquired heaven, so can't you be fifty or sixty years old?
It is not without advantages that officers are older. Everyone is mature and stable, and the military discipline of the imperial army has improved significantly. I don't know how the fighting power is, anyway, it is no longer a scourge.
?With their innate cultivation and the operation of the mansion, the three Li Mu brothers became thousands of households of the imperial army at the same time.
Seeing the pained expression on his elder brother's face, Li Mu knew that this wave of Fuchu had cost a lot of money. The positions of Beijing officials are limited, the competition is already fierce, and the real shortage is even more rare.
?Operating three thousand households at one time is also a pressure on the Hou Mansion, and it is estimated that it will consume a lot of favors. If it weren't for the disaster of the ancient demon, I'm afraid the mansion wouldn't spend all of its money.
In the Hou Mansion of the capital, under the leadership of Li Dong, the four brothers entered the secret room. It is obvious that the content of today's conversation is unusual.
Carefully closing the door of the secret room, and opening the isolation restriction, Li Dongcai said slowly: "You have reported to the Ministry of War, and you will soon enter the forbidden army, and you must explain the limited things clearly to you.
?Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been determined to reform and forge ahead, and wants to clean up the long-standing disadvantages of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This should have been a good thing, but the problems accumulated by the Great Zhou Empire were too many and too big.
His Majesty's reforms have become a tool for various factions in the DPRK to fight for power. Many reforms that were obviously good things turned into bad things in the end.
? Recently, undercurrents have begun to surge in Beijing and China again. The civil official group, which has been silent for a few years, has begun to be unwilling to be lonely again, and it is estimated that it will launch a counterattack in a short time.
Within the Xungui Group, the division is now severe. Some people support His Majesty's reform, some people firmly oppose the reform, and more people choose to be neutral.
?My Dingyuanhou Mansion is considered a neutral faction. After you enter the officialdom, you must not express your opinions on reforms, let alone intervene in court disputes.
In addition to reform, there is another major event that must be taken seriously. As the princes grow older, the matter of seizing the throne is imminent.
Our strength in Beijing is limited, and we are not qualified to participate in this game. So no matter which prince is wooing you, you can't agree to it, and you can't easily offend her. "
Seeing his elder brother walking on thin ice, Li Mu felt the difficulty of living in the capital. In the disputes between the court and the court, if one is not careful, one's body will be crushed to pieces.
Li Liang on the side asked: "Brother, since the situation in Beijing and China is so complicated, why not wait for the opportunity to seek release?"
After two or three years, Li Dong has climbed to the position of the sixth-rank school secretary. If it is outside the prefectures and counties, a fifth-rank position is indispensable.
Anyway, Li Dong is the heir to the Hou family, and sooner or later he will go back to inherit the family business. The current experience is just to accumulate political experience, and it doesn't matter whether you can climb up.
I saw Li Dong shook his head, and replied bitterly: "The situation in Beijing and Chinalaugh. If it is really caught by a bear's paw, it will be disabled even if it is not dead.
"snort!"
Li Song, who was full of sulking and had nowhere to vent, bumped into his elder brother Li Dong as soon as he turned around.
Without waiting for the bear to explain, Li Dong reprimanded: "Seventh brother, what the hell are you doing?
How many times have I told you, be steady, be steady. You are not a child anymore, why can't you listen to it?
See what you look like now, what a loss! The hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Beijing are far from comparable to Dingyuan.
If you continue to be so presumptuous, I will hold a clan meeting and use family law! "
Family law is not fun, ranging from not being able to get out of bed for two or three months, to severe death. It is usually used to clean up children who have made big mistakes.
Dingyuan Hou's Mansion is in the capital, so naturally there are not only four brothers Li Mu. Working hard in Beijing together, there are also uncles from the previous generation and a bunch of cousins.
The best ones are now in the fourth grade. This is almost the limit of the resources that the Hou Mansion can supply, and if you want to go further, there is only one way to go outside.
Obviously, this is not a good choice. For the family, a third-rank official is far less valuable than a fourth-rank Beijing official.
Especially when the current situation is chaotic, the DPRK and China cannot be left alone. It is not extravagant to be able to influence the political situation of the court, at least if there is any disturbance in the court, it must be able to receive the news as soon as possible.
Seeing that the bear was at a loss, Li Mu, as a good brother, immediately opened his mouth and said: "Brother, come here in such a hurry, but what news did you receive?"
Li Dong nodded: "News came from home: Ninth Brother, because of his meritorious service in suppressing the ancient demons, came to Beijing with several priests from Zhenmagic Division.
The situation in Beijing and China is complicated, my father told us to watch more and not let him go out to cause trouble. "
Hearing this news, Li Mu could only admire his father's foresight. It's just that this order is purely redundant, how can it be possible to prevent the protagonist from getting into trouble?
It has only been a long time since I have been a teacher, and a great Confucianism has been tossed away. According to this way of playing, Li Mu is very suspicious that after the protagonist enters Beijing, he can sacrifice the Hou Mansion together.
After thinking for a while, Li Muyu said earnestly, "Brother, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle this matter. Brother Ninth is a scholarly practitioner, and if he wants to take the imperial examination, he must deal with civil servants.
Once he has won the Jinshi, he is in the middle of the game, how can he get rid of the disputes in the court?
The civil official group has always looked down on our honored children. For the sake of Brother Nine's future, I think it's better for everyone to reduce contact, lest he be caught in the embarrassment of civil and military disputes. "
It's more than embarrassing, it's killing people. Sandwiched between civil and military, that is the maelstrom at the center of the storm. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.
If it was changed, Li Mu would never rush into the capital in a foolish way. Is it not good to give lectures at the local level and promote the new system of literature and Taoism? Why take risks?
After contemplating for a moment, Li Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a gloomy face: "The thirteenth brother is right. It is really unwise for the ninth brother to enter Beijing at this time."
