Chapter 969: Explanation of the Legion Naming!

Ji Sui thought about it and found that Yue Fei had shown extremely high commanding talents in just one year, and Han Shizhong was once able to be his partner, and he was also a peerless handsome man!

"Your Highness, Wu Qi..."

Ji Sui's expression was already a little unnatural. Where did so many talented generals under His Royal Highness come from?

Moreover, even though it involves the military and political affairs of a country, His Highness is not worried at all that these unknown people will not be able to tame the arrogant and powerful generals in the army.

How confident is this?

Ji Sui retreated with an expressionless face, but Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Secretariat, stood up and said, "Your Highness, is it inappropriate for a few men in white to be promoted directly to the commander-in-chief of the main army of Yu the Great?"

"My Dayu's military merit system and promotion system have standards. If..."

Zheng Xuan was hesitant to speak, and carefully observed Ning Fan's face: "I think it's better to start with a few of the generals who lead the army?"

"hehe!"

Ning Fan glanced at Zheng Xuan with a smile and said playfully: "Who do you think Master Zheng thinks is more suitable to be the commander-in-chief of the five legions?"

"Well……"

Zheng Xuan looked at Ning Fan's playful expression and obediently closed his mouth.

Emperor Yu coughed lightly and looked at Ning Fan: "The prince has always been good at recognizing people. I believe the general he selected must be a peerless genius."

"However, what does it say about the naming of these five legions?"

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yu also asked his own thoughts for all the ministers. Ning Fan slowly showed a smile: "The word Qin comes from sharp men. There is Qin in the west, and the sun is rising. Qin has sharp men." Sir, who can compete with me?"

"The word Qin means iron and steel. Therefore, we established the Great Qin Army in the name of Great Qin!"

"The word Han means Tianhe. My sons, Dayu, are all iron men. They are invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. This means Han!"

"Tang, in an ancient legend, means prosperity. It made me, Dayu, prosperous, so it is called Tang!"

"Song, in ancient legends, means prosperity, so it is called Fu Song!"

"The name of the Army of the Song Dynasty means that our country, Dayu, is rich and prosperous!"

"Ming, the sun and the moon are bright. Everything the sun and moon illuminate is my territory. Named after the Ming Dynasty, it means that I, the Dayu, have a vast territory!"

"As for China..."

Ning Fan paused and said loudly: "The greatness of etiquette is called Xia; the beauty of uniforms is called Hua."

"The so-called China is a country of etiquette!"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, there were cheers of applause from the entire court, but Ji Sui was a little stunned: "Your Highness, aren't there five main legions?"

"This Ming Army..."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were stunned for a moment. Ning Fan chuckled and said: "The Ming Army is the sixth army of my Dayu. It is commanded by my Yu people and is located in the Great Li Dynasty."

"What?"

"This... I, Dayu, have my army outside Dayu?"

"Who should support this Ming army, and who should fight for it?"

"Of course, Dayu will support me and fight for me, Dayu!"

Ning Fan spoke seriously, and all the ministers looked at each other. How could such a statement be said?

Why should I raise an army for you?

Emperor Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Is this the legendary eating of soft rice?

Soft rice but hard food!

"That's all. The reform of the military system will be led by the Crown Prince, sponsored by Prince Yong's Mansion, and coordinated by the Ministry of War!"

"My son, I accept the decree!"

After Ning Fan finished speaking, Emperor Yu looked around and asked softly: "Dear ladies, do you still have any other books to write?"

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin has returned to the court and is waiting outside the palace now!"

"Xuan!"

The ministers also looked forward to it. What kind of harvest will Prime Minister Lin Hunu and his party bring now?

Emperor Yu was looking forward to it, but Ning Fan was thinking about the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, Lin Qiushi, see you!"

"Xiang Lin, please forgive me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Fan also looked at Lin Qiushi and found that after the old man went to the north, he looked much older, but he was still in good spirits.

"Xiang Lin, this time Hu Nu and his party have made great achievements for me, the Great Yu. As per my wishes, I will give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk and satin!"

"Become a Duke of Chengguo!"

"According to the order!"

Lin Qiushi also had a look of surprise on his face, and glanced at Ning Fan subconsciously, with gratitude in his eyes: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ahem!"

Emperor Yu's face instantly darkened. I'm going to give you an official rank. Why do you want to thank that rebellious son?

Lin Qiushi seemed to understand Emperor Yu's meaning instantly. He simply turned his head to the side and sighed in his heart, Your Majesty, this old minister is helpless!

You made me the Duke of the Kingdom. Without His Highness the Crown Prince’s nod, you can’t make me a Duke!

Don't blame the old minister for being disloyal, it is really His Highness the Crown Prince...

"Prime Minister Lin, will Hu Nu and his party have any other gains this time?"

"Um!"

Seeing that Zheng Xuan had rescued him, Lin Qiushi nodded with a smile and said softly: "This time Hu Nu and his party have gained a lot!"

"Hunu is not as barren as I imagined. On the contrary, there are several rich areas that are enough to grow crops!"

"Hunu's royal city also looks like it was prosperous. Today's King Hunu is an extremely ambitious man!"

"Your Majesty, now everyone in the Hunu royal court is united, and the Hunu army Titie is united among the Hunu. Like the sun in the sky, all the tribes have surrendered."

"In my opinion, Hu Nu will sooner or later become a thorn in the side of Dayu."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan also nodded. After all, there is a son of destiny in the north, so it is naturally not simple.

However, Dayu and Hu Nu will not confront each other for the time being, unless Hu Nu can march straight in, go all the way south, and attack the Zijing City, the capital of Dayan.

But this is not that simple. Dayan has already begun to station troops in the north, obviously to guard against Hu Nu.

"Father!"

Ning Fan interrupted everyone's thinking and cupped his hands: "Your son has something else to report!"

"Approved!"

"Father, your son observes that the current system of Dayu and the orders of the Secretariat are difficult to communicate, and the orders issued are not very consistent. However, Dayu is now full of talents, and your son wants to set up a cabinet in the Secretariat, named the Secretariat Cabinet!"

"Cabinet officials will be selected from ministers with seniority, high talent, and good morals to assist you and discuss matters together!"

"There will be one chief assistant, two deputy assistants, and four university scholars in the cabinet."

"The chief assistant is of the first rank, the deputy assistant is of the first rank, and the university scholar is of the second rank!"

"Together in leading the government, this will not only reduce your father's burden, but also help Dayu gather ideas and avoid power concentration, political corruption, and subversion of the government!"

Hearing Ning Fan's words, all the civil and military officials in the court were surprised. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was simply holding back a big move!

If such a cabinet is really established, then wouldn't it require a few more people to be added to the Menxia and Zhongshusheng, and above the six ministries?
