Wu Haogu's entry into the capital this time has a great reputation, although he did not formally appoint him to the capital as the official appointment of the Xuanma imperial edict, which has not yet been issued.

He is now in Beijing for the Coastal Maritime Control Department. It is not entirely because of Zhao Ji's call. In fact, the two major events that Wu Haogu had planned for a long time are now on the stage of implementation.

One is that Ji Yi's mission to the Great Food Kingdom is finally ready, and only the north wind is needed. As the main envoy and Li Gang as the deputy envoy, he naturally had to go to Beijing to meet the saints, receive the national letter and gifts, and then he could set off.

Of course, due to the particularity of this mission, Wu Haogu hoped that Zhao Ji could give the Coastal Maritime Control Department the power to "transfer diplomacy" so that he could not use the letter of state, but to carry out diplomacy in the form of more flexible Coastal Maritime Control Department the document.

After all, the letter of nationality is a very formal diplomatic document, and it is impossible to bring Ji Yi a stack of blank letters to go abroad. If it is replaced by a coastal ship to set up a document, just prepare a hundred blank letters with official seals, and you can stuff a copy of the country where you go. As for the content, Ji Yi can completely let him play it freely.

The second is naturally the Western Expedition of the Education Regiment. The Hexi Army of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun brothers are now ready. Just wait for Zhao Ji's "Edict to siege Anxi" to be delivered, and then the army can be launched to attack the four towns of Anxi.

Therefore, the large education regiment must be in place as soon as possible so that it can catch up with the dispatch of troops.

Because of these two major events, Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan entered Beijing with Wu Haogu this time. With Pan Xiao'an, the team entering Beijing was so powerful and a little imposing.

However, Wu Haogu and others did not travel along the way and acted slowly, but seized the time to rush forward and arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of the Song Empire, the prime minister of the Song Empire, in early March when spring was in full bloom.

Since Wu Haogu and others checked in the inn along the way, the news of their arrival was also delivered to Kaifeng Prefecture in advance. In the northwest of Kaifeng Prefecture, in front of the official pavilion on the Jinshui River, Wu Haogu met Li Zhong sent from the palace, and dozens of young officials wearing green robes. Everyone wore swords, obviously they were all right-ranked Jinshi in the new academic qualifications.

Li Zhong came by the order. In a sense, those Jinshi in the right-listed green robe were all Wu Haogu's faction, so they naturally had to welcome him. And only Wu Haogu could arrange official positions for them as soon as possible... In addition, there were many rumors during this period that some scholars who failed the Ministry of Rites had to use their swords to kill Wu Haogu who entered the capital out of righteous indignation.

Therefore, the Jinshi from these practical schools all welcomed Wu Haogu with long swords at the capital, and also to protect the treacherous and slandered Wu Da.

As for other officials and relatives in Kaifeng Prefecture, they will not come to welcome the leader of the "empirical school" of Wu Haogu.

Although the discussion and fight last time caused by the public bus writing, the students of the Biyong Academy and Yuntai Academy won a great victory, the public opinion was one-sidedly supported the juren.

This is no longer a reasonable question, but a butt question. Anyone who supports the empirical school will be the butt.

"Official Li, it's been a long time since." Wu Haogu's eyes glanced left and right, but he didn't show much surprise. Instead, he turned over and dismounted and greeted Li Zhong with a smile.

"It's been a long time since we met." Li Zhong smiled. He is now the eunuch with the most powerful power in Kaifeng Prefecture. "Our family is here to wait for Wu Chong to tell you. The official family misses you very much, so let our family take you into the palace immediately." After a pause, he whispered: "The official family invites you to visit the Jinmingchi Water Heart Hall. You don't need to change into public uniforms, just wear casual clothes."

After hearing what Li Zhong said, the hundreds of green robe officials present had an indescribable look on their faces. The officials obviously still regarded Wu Haogu as their own!

Wu Haogu bowed to the more than a hundred green robe officials who came to greet him and shouted: "The emperor has summoned me, so Wu can only take one step first." Then he turned around and said to Zhao Jiaren who followed him into the capital, "Master Zhao, treat you to a good student."

This time Wu Haogu entered Beijing, and his entourage brought a lot of guards. He was afraid that he would be assassinated by a Confucian scholar who used a sword to protect the Tao, but his aides were not very much. In addition to the master Zhao Jiaren, there were only the big lieutenant He Tianran and the clerk Lu Renjia, a total of three. There were two other women, Bai Feifei and Guo Xiaoxiao accompanied Wu Haogu all the way, so he would not be lonely.

With Pan Xiao'an, Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi said a while ago, and called Guo Xiaoxiao again, asking her to take two replacement clothes. The two followed Li Zhong together and went to Wansheng Tower. Then they went up to the wall of Wansheng Tower and then followed the wall to Qionglin Palace.

After entering the palace, the emperor was discussing matters in the hall. Wu Haogu and Guo Xiaoxiao were led by Li Zhong to the Ao House on the north bank of Jinmingchi, which was the place where the large dragon boat was parked. The palace maids and the small yellow gate were already preparing on the dragon boat. When they saw Li Zhong coming, they saluted him one after another.

Li Zhong smiled and said to Wu Haogu: "The sky is gloomy, I'm afraid it will be a rainy night. If you can fly dragon boats on the water and listen to the night rain in the golden pond, there will be no few people in the civil and military court."

The so-called "Jinchi Pool Night Rain" is a rainy night. The sound of rain hitting lotus leaves is transmitted to the Water Heart Hall in Jinming Pool, which has a unique artistic conception. However, this artistic conception now belongs to the Tian Family (Jinchi Pool has no longer been opened since it was included in the expanded Qionglin Palace). Only favorite officials of Wu Haogu have the opportunity to see one or two.

However, now these emperors' favorite ministers are scattered all over the world, and only Pan Xiao'an can enter the palace to accompany him from time to time. However, Zhao Ji is not a lonely person who can withstand loneliness. While his favorite ministers are gradually drifting away from him, there are more Taoists around him. In addition to Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, there are also Wang Laozhi, Wang Zaizhe and Lin Lingsu, who often accompany Zhao Ji to talk about the lives of gods.

Because before Zhao Ji arrived, Li Zhong accompanied Wu Haogu and Guo Xiaoxiao on the dragon boat, drinking tea and waiting in a very elegant room.

Li Zhong is Li Xian's adopted son, and he is considered a military expert among the eunuchs. Of course, he also knows why Wu Haogu came. What is the official Zhao Ji most worried about now?

So after chatting with Wu Haogu for a few words, the topic turned to the training of soldiers.

"Chongdao, do you know where Cai Yuanchang was wrong this time?"

Wu Haogu smiled, "Didn't it mean to raise troops in the capital and block the road of speech?"

Li Zhong knew that Wu Haogu was pretending to be confused and shook his head and said, "The 500 soldiers in the palace were not raised by Cai Jing, but were ordered by the government to transfer them to the fast-growing martial arts. Students in the fast-growing martial arts are those who learn to train soldiers. It is natural to know hundreds of soldiers in the school, right? Otherwise, I have never seen many soldiers, how to practice and lead them in the future?

As for blocking the way of speaking, haha..."

Wu Haogu showed a puzzled expression, "Then how did Cai Yuanchang fall?"

Li Zhong looked at Wu Haogu who was still pretending to be confused and smiled: "Tell me the truth. The reason why Cai Yuanchang fell was because the 500 soldiers in the palace were too easy to command, too listen to Shangguan's words, and too fierce!

There is nothing like this kind of soldier in the outer palace. It would be very inappropriate to place it in Kaifeng Palace or at the feet of the emperor."

Li Zhong was kindly reminding Wu Haogu, although he was not a member of the Wu Haogu Party, Jiehe Market gave him a generous amount of filial piety every year. After taking so many of them, it would be hard to watch them fall into a pit and get rid of them, right?

"To be honest," Wu Haogu did not hide it from Li Zhong anymore, and said with a smile, "I have long known that these simple villagers are easy to be deceived... They have been soldiers for five years in a row. If their wives are ordinary, they cannot get a penny of military pay. Moreover, the soldiers in the government are not farmers with property, but are extremely poor people who have to join the army because of the powerful family. It is natural for them to make trouble. Only when they have to get money!

Moreover, the officials are not kind to them, and they are living with the generals day and night. To be honest, the generals who lead the troops can get some money to them, and they may become the generals' confidant private soldiers. This is the hidden danger of the current government soldier system!"

The current system of government troops is different from the Sui and Tang dynasties who conquer middle and upper-middle and rich families. They are basically strong and extremely poor peasants who serve in the army, and they have no military pay, so they are just trained and fought under the forced force of officers.

As for the benefits of life-long exemption, for them, it is only future and long-term benefits. They cannot feel it now, and it is hard to say whether it can be implemented... So such an army is more likely to cause military chaos.

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Zhong nodded repeatedly, "You can see clearly that you are worthy of being a great scholar of the world."

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "The great scholars dare not be the ones, but they have led the soldiers of the palace and knew their nature... If the court really wants to implement soldiers of the government, then there must be good military officers to lead them, otherwise it will be easy for chaos."

Li Zhong nodded, "If it is said to be reliable, the imperial guards are the best."

In Wu Haogu's opinion, the Eastern Army in the Imperial Army was not a real army at all. It was just a group of ordinary people with their own business to work part-time to stand guard in the military camp. Such an army is of course reliable, but the premise is that there are no enemies.

"The imperial guards are not even good either." Wu Haogu shook his head, "Apart from the Western Army, the Eastern Army is just called the army and the people. It's okay if there is no problem in the world. Once there is a place to use troops, how will the court deal with it?"

"Isn't that?" Li Zhong said, "The official family is worried! Chongdao, do you really have a way?"

"There is a little solution," Wu Hao Gudao, "I don't know how hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the world should be trained. However, I still have some solutions to train tens of thousands of soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture, which are both reliable and useful for the official family."
