Outside the front door of Beijing

The sun is still high on the afternoon of the fifth lunar month, and the light reflected from the towering tower at Beijing's front gate is still dazzling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the nine gates of Beijing were guarded by officers and soldiers from the beginning of the Chen period to the end of the Shen period, they were open to all people entering and leaving. Only when there is a royal honor guard and a second-class or above senior official entering and leaving, other people will be temporarily prohibited from entering and leaving, and the ban will be lifted only after the honor guard or official drive has passed. At the beginning of the afternoon of May 21, the 40th year of Jiajing, the officers and soldiers at the front gate began to evacuate people entering and leaving, and the post man of the Xianliang Temple had also brought four post guards and a green sedan chair to greet him.

In the huge doorway, the post man and the post guard waited quietly, and the smoke and dust raised by a group of horses appeared not far away.

The horse team was getting closer and closer, and a brocade-clothed guard led four horsemen in front, followed by Tan Ke in a red official robe, and the other brocade-clothed guards had already retreated after cleaning the Hangzhou Mansion.

When they arrived at the front gate, Baihu and all the men in the flying fish suits dismounted.

Tan Ke also dismounted, threw the reins, and walked towards the Xianliang Ancestral Hall and the others.

With a smile, the Yicheng accompanied Tan Ke to the green sedan chair and opened the sedan curtain himself. Tan Ke frowned and lowered his head to get in, he was really uncomfortable sitting in this sedan chair. The sedan chair was immediately lifted and walked towards the city gate. The brocade guard escorted the sedan chair and followed into the city gate hole.

Xiyuan Master of Ceremonies is on duty

"Ancestor!" It was Li Xuan who spoke, and I don't know how he secretly entered Beijing, Li Xuan shouted intimately, walked into the door and went straight to Lu Fang, who was sitting there, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times uprightly.

"Get up." Lu Fang's voice was still very peaceful.

Li Xuan got up, picked up the tea bowl from the coffee table beside Lu Fang with both hands and sent it over, the kind of inquiry that appeared in his eyes.

Lu Fang sighed lightly, took Li Xuan's tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and said, "Let's talk about it, Yang Jinshui, how did he die." ”

Li Xuan trembled with fright: "Ancestor, godfather, godfather, he was forced to death by Chen Ke......"

Li Xuan didn't tell the truth, in fact, Yang Jinshui was his own hand in the end. But he is not afraid that Lu Fang will know about this, Lu Fang is in charge of the factory guard, that was before, and now, at least Zhejiang and even Nanzhili, Jinyi Wei is in charge of Lord Chen of the left capital. Lü Fang is now in Nanzhili and Zhejiang provinces, that is, the deaf and the blind. Otherwise, how could the ancestor let his little shrimp enter Beijing? Don't you just want to ask about the situation?

I figured it out in my heart, and I was still trembling on the surface, but Li Xuan's heart had stabilized.

Lu Fang: "Your godfather is a good boy. He destroyed the embankment for the emperor and the court. It's a pity that it didn't end well. Alas! ”

After thinking about it, Lu Fang said again: "What happened recently in Zhejiang, you tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes, Ancestor." Li Xuan said respectfully.

Xiyuan Yuxi Palace

Although he didn't believe in Fang Shi's set, Jiajing still liked to stay here. One is that it is convenient to read books, these are the books that Tan Ke brought to Jiajing from the future, and it is inconvenient to expose them in front of ordinary people. Second, it turns out that the old political pattern has not been shuffled, and suddenly changing his previous style of lazy and lazy government is not only inappropriate, but it is easy to startle the snake.

Tan Ke came to Jiajing, because there was still Feng Bao following Jiajing, Tan Ke bent down and saluted Jiajing, "See Your Majesty." ”

"Immortal Master, you're back!" Jiajing said happily to Tan Ke.

Jiajing pulled Tan Ke and asked him to sit down on the small mound beside him.

"Immortal Master, you did a good job in Zhejiang this time! washed all over the officialdom in Zhejiang, and solved the problem of the treasury for me! ”

Tan Ke smiled reservedly, "Your Majesty, now the officialdom in Zhejiang has basically changed a group of newcomers who have been transferred from below. The character and ability are quite passable, and the key is to cooperate with Jinyiwei, as long as His Majesty appeases him a little, he is a group of cadres. ”

Jiajing laughed: "Okay! That's great! In the words you brought me in the book, it's not a small good, it's a big good! The silver is settled, and the man is settled. It's time to solve Yan Song's father and son! ”

Tan Ke's face was calm, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not the time yet. ”

Jiajing's expression was strange, "Immortal Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

Tan Ke explained to Jiajing: "Now you can easily break down Yan Song's father and son, but the only ones who come up can be Gao Gong and Xu Jie, who are from King Yu's party. According to my Ming system, I am afraid that the authority will fall into their hands again. ”

Jiajing wanted to say something, but Tan Ke continued: "I know that Your Majesty has always had the power to scheming, but I am just dealing with these cabinet ministers, how much time will it take in between, and the ministers have a good way now, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

Jiajing clapped his hands happily: "Immortal Master, please say, as long as it is the method of the Immortal Master, it must be a good method!" ”

Tan Ke pulled out a white paper from his sleeve, and on the cover was a few simplified words in bold - cable telegram.

Then he took out a strange machine from the air and came out.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you know about the cable telegraph?"

"I know, I've seen this. It's the one that can deliver the message thousands of miles away! Jiajing nodded, and touched the cold machine with his hand.

It's good to know! Tan Ke thought to himself, I can save a lot of tongues.

"Your Majesty, the minister means to lay this kind of cable telegraph network throughout the Ming Dynasty, cultivate relevant talents, and then expand the establishment of Jinyi Guard, so that the entire empire can be better controlled by Your Majesty. If the people below want to do evil, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

After listening to Tan Ke's words, Jiajing stood up excitedly, "Immortal Master's proposal is good!" I've been reading a lot of books lately, and I've learned about the concept of the police state! What does the immortal master mean is to establish a police state? ”

Tan Ke bowed his head slightly, "Your Majesty sees it!" That's exactly what the minister meant! The power of civil officials is bigger, and there are also disadvantages to trusting eunuchs, so it is better to use telegraphs and factory guards all over the world to control a country! ”

Jiajing was also happy, just looked at the book of cable telegraphs, and lowered his face again: "Immortal Master, your proposal is good, but this cable telegraph, I know that it will be at least two hundred years later." At the moment, can anyone in Daming really learn this novelty? ”

Tan Ke smiled, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this minister just has a way." ”

What can Tan Ke do? He doesn't know how to radio either! But he can make cyborgs, and instill the relevant knowledge of cable telegraph in cyborgs, and these cyborgs can establish the telegraph network of the Ming Dynasty in a short time. When the time comes, recruit a group of young people, give them cramming teaching every day, and teach them for a whole year, and this Ming telegraph talent will become.

Probably the cable telegraph technology of the Ming Dynasty was able to achieve a breakthrough like flying, and suddenly reached the level of the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty...... However, in other aspects, you have to take your time.

"Good!" Jiajing patted the table, "Just do what the immortal master wants!" As for Yan Song's father and son, Yan Shifan has been assigned to Yunnan as an official, and there is only one Yan Song left, let him stay and fight with Xu Jie! ”
