The Honours drank, but the atmosphere was not the same as before. Ever since the news of the appointment of an admiral was spread, these Honours did not care much about it.
Although the capital camp was nominally under the Governor's Office and under their command, in reality, this was not the case.
The Governor of the capital camp was the highest official in the capital camp. This appointment of an admiral was equivalent to giving back this position to the generals. They were even a little happy.
However, the Emperor did not give this position to them, so they were a little disappointed.
However, the nobles also knew that the emperor definitely didn't set up this admiral just to give him an official position and pay him a salary. Then, he would place him there as a decoration.
From today's situation, it seemed that the emperor had something to tell them ah!
Zhu Yijun put down the wine cup in his hand and swept his gaze across everyone's faces. Seeing that the time was right, Zhu Yijun did not hesitate and directly said, "You have seen today's martial arts drill. These people are all rare talents.
If they are not used by the country and waste their abilities, then it is their personal loss, as well as the court's and Zhen's loss. "
Although Zhu Yijun had the idea of putting these descendants in an important position, none of the people present revealed an excited expression. They were not hot-blooded youths. Each of them was an old fox, so they naturally knew how to show off.
Zhu Yijun did not care. While playing with the wine cup in his hand, he smiled and said, "You are all Honours of the Daming. You are all with the country and are the trusted aides of the Daming. Zhen also hopes that you can continue the family line."
"Now that there are talents in every family, Zhen is very comforted. Everyone, you!" As he said this, Zhu Yijun raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
The meaning of Zhu Yijun's words was very clear. You are all Honours of the Daming. Everything you have was given by the Emperor. It is fine if you do not support me, but you cannot jump out and make trouble. Otherwise, you will not have a good time.
"Zhen is going to take out three battalions for training!"
Zhu Yijun didn't want to drag it on any longer, so he said directly, "I'm going to give the positions of the three commanders to the three most outstanding people in today's drill."
"Zhang Weixian of the House of Lords, Xu Yingzhen of the Dingguo Public House, and Wu Weiying of the Gongshun Public House."
"I don't care which battalion they went to. Leave this matter to the Military Governor's Office of the Five Armies!"
Zhu Yijun said firmly, "All of you go back and discuss. As for the rest of the people in the academy, they can stay for a few years!"
"That's right, there's one more thing. I'm preparing to recruit some noble children into the academy."
"This time, we don't care about status. As long as they are the children of the Honours, it's fine. We don't care about whether they're from the main branch or not. I believe that there will be many talented people."
Among the noble families, the ones with the least status were the bastards. Moreover, after so many years, the House of Lords had been passed down for four generations, and each generation had several branches. Now that they were scattered, it was truly a huge number of people.
Among them, there would definitely be many who had declined. Zhu Yijun's approach was to nurture them.
This was to nurture talents, and it was also to find something for these Honours to do, so that they wouldn't have to keep an eye on him.
If this matter was spread out, coupled with the three positions of commanders with real power, it would definitely stimulate a group of people.
The power of Xu Yingzhen and Zhang Weixian's example might not be obvious, but the power of Wu Weiying's example was definitely very obvious.
Right now, the rest of the people in the academy were preparing for the follow-up reform. It was also very necessary to let them temporarily guide the newcomers.
After all, feeling the malice of the older students was also one of the compulsory courses in the academy.
When the Honours heard this, they immediately had different expressions. Their families had more than one branch, and they had more than one son.
When this news was spread back, they could all imagine what would happen. They were happy that the children of their families had a way out, but at the same time, they were also a little worried. After all, they could see the Emperor's intention.
However, they also knew that there were no disadvantages as long as there were benefits.
The only thing was, could it be done?
It should be known that Zhang Juzheng was not in the capital now, but what would happen when Zhang Juzheng came back?
Whether he would agree with His Majesty's decision, and whether there would be a new conflict between the civil officials and the generals — these were all problems that they had to consider.
Zhu Yijun didn't care what they were thinking. This time, he was going to force a duck onto a perch.
Whoever didn't listen, he would get rid of them. Since he had already done it, there was no turning back.
"Zhang Weixian, Xu Yingzhen, Wu Weiying!"
Zhu Yijun directly called out the names of the three people. The three children hurriedly walked up from the back, bowed respectfully, and said, "We are waiting!"
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "The three of you are the first batch of graduates of the academy. Go back and prepare. In three days, I will personally hold a graduation ceremony for you at the academy. At that time, I will invite the parents of the Honours to come and witness."
In fact, it was most suitable to let the civil and military officials come, but Zhu Yijun estimated that if he did that, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Now, Zhu Yijun pursued the strategy of doing things in a high profile and keeping a low profile. He tried his best to develop in a wretched way, so it wouldn't be good for him to cause a ruckus.
It was fine to let the Honours come. They were the parents, and it was natural for the parents to see their children graduate.
"Go back and prepare well!" After saying that, Zhu Yijun gestured for the three of them to go back.
Although the banquet continued for a while, it was obvious that everyone was not in the mood to eat anymore.
Very soon, everyone went their separate ways. Zhu Yijun also returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, but things had just begun.
Soon, the news of the martial arts demonstration spread, but the shock came more from the Honours themselves.
The civil officials basically looked on coldly from the sidelines. Ever since the appointment of the admiral, these things didn't seem to be a big deal.
Two of them were from the House of High Dukes, and one was from the House of Marquis. Becoming a commander was not a big deal at all.
After all, these Honours had a lot of titles on them, so the starting point for a commander was not too high.
Although the status of a commander of a regiment battalion in the Capital Barracks was very high, it only had about ten thousand people, which was about the same as an ordinary commander of a guard.
They couldn't possibly let the people from the House of High Dukes become the Qianhu, right?
However, it was rare to see such a direct appointment.
However, the Battalion Commander was their father's generation, and there was a Battalion Commander above the commander of the regiment battalion, so it wasn't a big deal.
The biggest impact was not these top Honours, but the people below them. They were small nobles, and there were a lot of them!
This time, the Emperor wanted to take away three regiment battalion commanders, which meant that three people would have to be removed from their posts.
Accompanying the crisis of being removed from their posts was the recruitment of the Emperor's Honours in the Palace of Education. Moreover, they were recruiting the children of the Honours, regardless of whether they were legitimate or not. This had a big impact.
