Chapter 231: Do you still have to hesitate?
"Ahh So boring! Zhu Youxiao stood in the Qianqing Palace, looking up to the sky and shouting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the small coverage of the Imperial Daily, although his article caused some sensation, it did not have much effect, and he did not have much to do about it, and after writing a few more articles, he put his pen on hold. It's better to wait for the Imperial Daily to develop to a certain scale in the future, and show off its amazing writing.
This was the idea of the young emperor, who put all the blame on the fact that the Imperial Daily was too small, completely unaware of the quality of his own articles.
Since that day, several days have passed, and he has nothing to do except for Xu Guangqi who came to him and made adjustments to the inner mansion again.
After the internal government was running for a period of time, Xu Guangqi felt that the system was not reasonable enough, and made new changes, and on the basis of the original personnel department, finance department, and internal department, three upper-level departments were added again, the production department, the purchasing department, and the sales department.
All factories, whether civilian or military, are all assigned to the leadership of the production department, all raw materials that need to be purchased from the outside world are unified by the purchasing department, and all external sales of products are all responsible for the sales department, and the person in charge of the sales department is Wang Wenyan of the Yuantiangong firm.
After dealing with the affairs of the Changlu Salt Factory, he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and then took over the position of the head of the sales department, with the rank of a third-grade waiter. Of course, the outside world will not be under the banner of the sales department of the inner government, but all of them act in the name of the Tiangong firm, and all the shops are also hung with the brand of the Tiangong firm.
Regarding this structure that obviously imitates the six parts, Zhu Youxiao just looked at it, and waved his hand to agree, this system is more reasonable than the previous one, and it is also improved by Xu Guangqi after a period of operation, so naturally there is no big problem.
In history, in the entire first year of the Apocalypse, except for the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang, there was no major event in itself, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao, a traverser, proved that there was no major event except for the major wars.
He has dealt with all the major wars, and naturally there is nothing to do at this time, so it is no wonder that he is panicking.
"Long live Lord, since you are bored, it is better to go out for a walk and relax." Next to him, Liu Ruoyu suddenly suggested.
"Well, that's it." With that, Zhu Youxiao went to change his clothes and walked outside the palace.
At this time, outside the city of Nanjing, a few horsemen and horses came in the dust, and if there was someone who was the leader, he would definitely exclaim, this is not the dignified Jinyi Guard's commander Luo Sigong. It's just that at this time, Luo Sigong went through a disguise and made up as a businessman.
There were not many people around him, only seven or eight people, all dressed as merchants, hurriedly marching to the city of Nanjing, and the soldiers guarding the city looked at them, did not suspect them, and waved them in.
"My lord, do you still need to check when you enter the city here in Nanjing?" A stocky man next to Luo Sigong asked, looking at his swarthy face, like an old farmer, not like a brocade guard at all.
"Liangqing, there has just been a trouble here, so it's not wrong to check it tightly." Luo Sigong replied with a smile, although he said so, a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"My lord, I'm afraid there will be something unexpected." Another attendant said that his appearance was more in line with the traditional image of Jinyiwei, with yin owl eyes and a big hooked nose, which gave him the feeling of an eagle looking at a wolf.
"I really have to guard against it, so let's not go to Nanjing Qianhu for the time being, let's find a place to settle down first, launch a shadow, and explore the situation in Nanjing City. Xianchun, this matter will be left to you. Luo Sigong frowned and said, his cautious personality made him immediately change his established mind.
"Yes, sir." Xu Xianchun hugged his fists and left.
"Let's go!" Luo Sigong pulled the reins, turned a corner, and headed towards the city.
After they left, several of the soldiers defending the city chatted.
"Hey, you say, it's a bit strange in the past two days, there are so many people entering the city!" One of them said.
"Yes, I always feel that these people don't look like businessmen, looking at those eyes, they are murderous."
"What do you do so much, and you are also in charge of Wei Guogong's affairs?" One of the veterans reprimanded, and the others shut up, and they didn't take anything to heart.
In the evening, Xu Xianchun came back, and at the same time brought news that I don't know if it was good.
"My lord, I haven't heard any news, only a rumor of chasing the wind and shadows." Xu Xianchun said hesitantly.
"What is the rumor?" Luo Sigong asked. Next to him, stood the swarthy brocade guard who looked like an old peasant. In this scene, this person did not go out, and it was obviously a close confidant.
"Back to my lord, the secret son said, it is rumored that Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was placed under house arrest by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei." Xu Xianchun hesitated to say this amazing news.
"What!?" Luo Sigong stood up in surprise.
"This matter is just a rumor, my lord, it's just a rumor, and it can't be true." Xu Xianchun hurriedly said, he was not sure that this news was true, in case it was false, he would have to bear the charge of lying about the military situation.
"It seems that the naivety of Nanjing City is really about to change." Luo Sigong paced back and forth, frowning and thinking, "From this point of view, the Nanjing Qianhu Office is also more auspicious, and it is either a rebellion or someone has been killed." β
There has been no news from Nanjing, which has always made Luo Sigong suspicious, and at this time, there is corroboration, and he has confirmed the guess in his heart.
"Let's go, let's go overnight, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here." After thinking about it, Luo Sigong decisively decided to leave Nanjing City overnight.
All of you here are the core figures of Jinyiwei, they are all well-trained, and they don't drag their actions at all, and after packing up their packages, they immediately got up and left.
At this time, although it was already dark, it was not difficult to leave with the ability of the Jinyi Guard, and the few side doors out of the city gate could be opened with money. Of course, if you can find your way.
"My lord, where are you going?" After leaving the city gate, Wei Liangqing couldn't help but ask.
"Go to Ningbo." Luo Sigong's words did not fluctuate at all, "Go to General Yu and tell him that there is a change in Nanjing." β
Xu Xianchun, who was even more in the back, saw Wei Liangqing's treatment, and was very envious, if he asked, he was afraid that what he would get was a cold look, this is the power of family background, I heard that this Wei Liangqing is the nephew of Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, what a good background.
Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun couldn't help but be envious, jealous, and hateful, hating how he didn't have such a family background. In a gloomy mood, he looked back at Nanjing City, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.
This thought made him stand on the spot, his face hesitating and struggling, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord...... Humble position, humble position, stay in Nanjing City, and find out the news for the adults. β
"Oh!" Luo Sigong turned around abruptly and looked at Xu Xianchun, a hint of appreciation flashed on his face, "Okay, very good, it seems that we still have a brave warrior like you in Jinyiwei." β
"Thank you for your compliment, and I hope to serve my lord." Xu Xianchun bent down and clenched his fists, his tone unprecedentedly firm. He understood that he had no family background to rely on, so he could only rely on his own extraordinary courage.
"Okay, you stay, hibernate in Nanjing, and listen to the news." After Luo Sigong finished speaking, he led people to gallop away.
And Xu Xianchun glanced at it, turned around, and returned to Nanjing City.
In the Ming Dynasty, the horse is a tragic role, not to mention that as the grandson of the horse, although he has the blood of the heavenly family, he is only worth a brocade guard to command the affairs, and it is also false, Xu Xianchun, who has nothing to rely on, can only rely on his own ruthlessness to win a road to fame and wealth.
Nanjing City, the residence of the Duke of Wei.
In the quiet study, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other, the young smiling, and the old one with a tangled face, frowning, and thinking hard.
"What's the matter, Lord Wei Guogong hasn't decided yet? Is this decision so difficult to decide? Wang Siyuan held the teacup and asked playfully.
"It is related to the life of the father-in-law, as well as the hundreds of people in the whole clan, so it is natural to be cautious." Xu Hongji said solemnly.
"Last time, Lord Guogong said the same, but it turned out that he missed the opportunity to echo with the two toasts in the southwest. Do you want to think about it again this time? Wang Siyuan smiled slightly, his tone was soft, he looked like a spring breeze, but there was a touch of sarcasm on the corner of his lips.
"The old man's hesitation, but it saved your life, you persuaded the old man to join you in the matter, saying that the imperial forces were involved in Liaodong and could not afford to look south, so what is written in this newspaper?" Xu Hongji slapped a newspaper on the desk, and on it was a bust portrait of Zhu Youxiao's triumphant return, with a few stick figures with lines, but it was very expressive to outline the emperor's charm.
This is the masterpiece of the new court painter Serena, who asks to see John Tong together, but the final result is much better than John Tang. The report on the Battle of Ningyuan lasted for several days, except for the first three days, and the back ones were accompanied by stick figures of Serena.
"If it weren't for the old man, if you were doing something and happened to meet the emperor who returned with a great victory, how could it be just Yu Zhigao who transported troops from the sea? With the military strategy of the Apocalypse, how can you succeed in raiding the port and burning the Empire's gunboats? Xu Hongji said with disdain.
"Wonderful, wonderful." Wang Siyuan clapped his palms and said, his face did not have the shame of being ridiculed at all, there was only a smile.
"I just don't know, why does Lord Wei Guogong, who keeps reciting the empire, still collude with us sea bandits? On the way to Nanjing today, I happened to meet a pair of officers and soldiers, one of whom was escorted by a eunuch, and the direction was Ningbo. Wang Siyuan said with a chuckle, the mocking look made Xu Hongji want to punch him in the face.
However, the other party didn't notice Wei Guogong's eyes at all, but continued to laugh lightly, "I guess, they went to Ningbo to preach the holy decree, what do you think will be written on the holy decree?" Saying this, his eyes turned cold in vain, staring at Xu Hongji, and said coldly, "Do you think that the Apocalypse will not know about the things you did?" Do you think there will be no problem if you win over Nanjing Thousand Households? β
"It's really naΓ―ve, you eat dry rice when Dongchang eats? I'm sure that in writing a decree from Yu Zhigao, there must be a will to deprive you of military power, and it is not impossible to even take you down directly. Speaking of this, Wang Siyuan snorted coldly, propped his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and looked at Xu Hongji, "Do you think you can still keep this wealth?" Do you think you are still the same prince who retired with the country before? β
"Wake up, look at Cheng Guogong, he is the end!"
"You, do you still have to hesitate?"
