Early autumn.

The imperial court has been calm in the past few months. The rebellion, which was like a storm, came quickly and naturally went quickly. Soon, people forgot the rebellion completely.

But the impact of this rebellion is extremely far-reaching.

After the rebellion was quelled, Chen Kaizhi issued a new policy edict. Subsequently, military and political reforms were the first to mention the agenda, laying off nearly one million troops, and in addition, recruiting troops.

The court had already begun to recruit good children in various states, and Chen Yixing was responsible for this matter. In addition to the states, the same was true in the capital. Not only that, the martial arts lecture school and the Navy School were also opened at the same time. The martial arts lecture school was located in Luoyang, while the Navy School was located in Jibei.

In this capital, the recruitment of the new army began to begin in full swing.

On the one hand, there is a precedent for the Warriors' camp. Many people know that the treatment of the new army is favorable, not only that, His Majesty seems to be more willing to appoint personnel from the new army. The rewards and punishments in the Warriors' camp can also strive for a good future.

The capital was 5,000 people, and it took less than half a month to recruit. Most of these people were young and strong men of the right age. The family was not too bad, and a new camp had been built. The instructors selected from the Warriors camp were also ready-made.

Not only that, the Governor's Office of the Army and many military and government agencies began to abolish them. In addition to the Ministry of War, a new government agency that governs the various battalions of the New Army was also newly established and officially listed not far from the Ministry of War, called the General Staff.

Like the Ministry of War, it shoulders different responsibilities. The Ministry of War is only responsible for the coordination of money and food, the distribution of military funds, the supervision of the manufacturing of weapons, the storage of ammunition, and the custody of officers and soldiers.

The General Staff is responsible for the training and the formulation of combat plans, the call of the army, and the recruitment of military horses.

One is in charge of the supply of rewards, punishments and military supplies. The other is focused on combat and training, which is clear.

The latest batch of new recruits, with a total of 20,000 people, was directly brought to Luoyang to start training for new recruits. In this recruit camp, hundreds of instructors and civil servants led by Xu Jie were already treated solemnly, just waiting to train the new army.

The Warriors Camp has proved the success of new styles of pedaling, and the next step is to promote these experiences.

And in the past few months, a big wedding has also attracted the attention of everyone in the world.

Chen Kaizhi married Xun as his wife, and on the same day he ordered the throne of the queen.

He also accepted the daughter of Fang and ordered him to be the imperial concubine.

In the harem, two mistresses finally came. Queen Mother Mu issued an imperial edict to order the prefectures to conduct talent shows.

Chen Kaizhi had quite a complaint about this talent show. In his opinion, this talent show was nothing more than a waste of money. How many women wanted to separate from their parents? Come to this cold palace and have good luck, maybe Chen Kaizhi would be lucky to become a concubine, and more people would just waste their years.

He really felt that there was no need to do such cruel things. He was just a clone. Besides, he was not the kind of person who loved beauty. Instead of choosing so many good women to go to the palace to waste their years, it would be better to let them have their own lives.

He really felt sorry for his youth that consumed others. Even though he was the emperor, his thoughts were still from later generations. Too many women were not a good thing, and he also chose some women who he didn't like at all and wouldn't look at them at all.

Doing so is a waste of time for innocent people.

Early this morning, he went to Queen Mother Mu's harem to greet him, and he couldn't help but mention this matter, hoping that she could change her mind.

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Mu narrowed her phoenix eyes and then smiled at Chen Kaizhi.

"Doing the people and losing money? In fact, there is no need to take out the treasury and public funds in the palace and the court. How can it be said that it is a waste of money? Emperor, you are not young anymore. Now, although there are already empresses and imperial concubines, the royal family is no different from ordinary people's families. They all pay attention to having more children and good fortune. In the past, the palace people were left by the late emperors, and the palace has not been selected for seven or eight years. Now, it is not bad to send some older people out of the palace and let some women of the right age enter the palace. The Emperor, the Ai family will take charge of you in the palace. The Ai family will not ask about the matter of the outside court, but you should not make the Ai family unhappy, otherwise, the Ai family will also make you unhappy."

Chen Kaizhi was ashamed. The mother seemed to be particularly persistent in this matter. She insisted on getting three palaces and six courtyards for him, and it seemed that she could not compete with her.

Although Chen Kaizhi felt that he should not speak too much, he still spoke: "If these prefectures and counties are in chaos, my son is afraid..."

"You don't understand." Empress Dowager Mu shook her head and said lightly to him: "Do you know why this talent show has become a common practice since Emperor Taizu Gao. When the new emperor ascended the throne, they will almost always conduct large-scale talent shows. Do you really think that the ancestors are just greedy for beauty?"

Chen Kaizhi thought to himself, isn’t he just greedy for beauty? Otherwise, why does it take for the harem to weigh the previous dynasty? Even if they want it, his strength should not be done.

Queen Mother Mu shook her head and smiled, looked at Chen Kaiyi deeply, and said meaningfully: "Of course, if the Ai family said that the ancestors and clans were all Liu Xiahui, don't say you don't believe it, even the Ai family would not believe it. But, this talent show is also intentional. Think about it, will there be any connection between the palace and the grassroots county magistrate?"

Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Unless the son-in-law asks in person, I think... there won't be too much contact."

"No," Empress Dowager Mu nodded: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is above the superior. You can hand over ordinary affairs to the cabinet and to the six ministries. And there are six ministries under the cabinet, and the provinces are provinces, and the prefectures are prefectures, and the prefectures are counties and counties. The heads of counties may not see Your Majesty in your lifetime, let alone any connection. But Your Majesty, don't underestimate these county leaders. They are people who are the emperor's orders and the people's opinions. Without them, how to implement the orders and how to implement the government orders?"

"But... what does this have to do with the draft?" Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Queen Mother Mu smiled, looked at Chen Kaizhi kindly, and analyzed it carefully for him.

"There is a big relationship. The new emperor ascended the throne, but who are the chiefs of the county and ordinary prefectures? Are they smart and capable, and whether they obey Your Majesty's advice? Do you know?"

"Your Majesty must not know, so you need to have an excuse, using this excuse as a touchstone. A talent show is related to the palace, the emperor, the prefectures, counties and counties, and whether they are willing to care about it, and whether they can convey the holy intention and do the things explained in the palace well. Isn't this the top priority?"

"What's more, the local officials below must not let them be idle. If they are idle, they will inevitably harm the people. Do you think they really have a lot of government affairs to deal with? No, no, they are officials, the people who do business, and the affairs of the local officials will not be bad even if they are gone. But these people, when the late emperor was there, what did you say about them? The late emperor said that once they are idle, they will inevitably have to guess the superior intention, and once they guess the superior intention, they will inevitably have other plans."

The more Queen Mother Mu spoke, she became more and more excited, but she was afraid that Chen Kaizhi would be impatient, so she raised her green elephant and observed Chen Kaizhi carefully. Seeing him listening carefully, she told her story.

"Just say a mere county magistrate, he has nothing to do. The matters in the county are handled by the assistants and minor officials, but what will he do next? The Ai family tells you that they will not think about how to benefit the people. If there are such people, it is rare. They will find ways to go through relationships, try everything to curry favor with the prefect and prefect, and find ways to clear the six ministers and nine ministers in the court, and try all their thoughts to have some contact with the ministers in the cabinet."

"You see, it is said that gentlemen are friends but not party, but how many gentlemen are there in this world? Some people have relationships, and people are intertwined, so will this private party appear? Once private parties appear, they will inevitably become friends and become traitors. If they are serious, they will cause trouble to the country. If they are not serious, local officials will also harm the people and ruin their wealth in order to please the superiors. And those ministers in the court will inevitably have to protect them. Since they have gained benefits, they will inevitably protect them. In this way, will it harm the country?"
