"I didn't expect Aiqing to have such a rich experience in the past few years, and she has also paid so much heart for Daming, which is very good."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zuo Guangdou and said with a smile: "I already know." When I returned to Beijing this time, I don't know if Aiqing has any yamen that she wants to go to? ”

After hearing this, Zuo Guangdou was stunned, and then said calmly: "Listen to Your Majesty." ”

In fact, the emperor rarely had courtiers for these things. Even if the emperor can deal with these things as a courtier, it is impossible for the courtier to tell the emperor which yamen he wants to go to, that is, he doesn't want to get involved.

Zhu Youxiao was also polite, and when he saw that Zuo Guangdou had a number in his heart, he was relieved.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "There is a vacancy in the Ministry of Industry, so you can fill this vacancy first." ”

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Zuo Guangdou's face, and then he stood up and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

In fact, there is nothing out of the ordinary about this arrangement, which can be regarded as decent.

When the foreign governors were transferred back to the capital, they basically came to serve as the six scholars, and it has always been this rule. Otherwise, it won't bring you back, but you'll be out there forever.

Transferring back to the capital proves that you have done a good job; If you don't do well, you'll be sent to Nanjing to retire instead of coming to Beijing.

Arranging the position of the Ministry of Industry is also more in line with such rules.

Usually, after entering Beijing, the arrangement is not a large department. A yamen like the Ministry of Officials and Households, then don't think about it, it will not be given to such a yamen, unless it is specially promoted by the emperor, or there are some special circumstances.

The old minister may have such treatment, but it is impossible for the newcomer to be promoted. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry is a very suitable position.

"Aiqing, let's go back." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, and at the same time turned his head to look at Wei Chao beside him, and once again ordered: "Let someone prepare a carriage to send Zuo Aiqing back, and don't let him go in the snow again." ”

Driving in the palace, this is a good treatment given by the emperor, but ordinary people don't have this treatment.

Although it was only once, it was because of the heavy snow that sent him out, which was also a rare favor.

Zuo bald head lay directly on the ground, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

This is the emperor exalting him and letting people know that he is the emperor's confidant.

After all, now that there are clear factions in the court, people like Zuo Guangdou are involved, and it is basically difficult to survive in the court, and it is doomed to be excluded.

Especially Han Yi's side, it is likely that he will do something. Zhu Youxiao's approach is actually to protect Zuo Guangdou.

After Zuo Guangdou left, Zhu Youxiao did not continue to stay in the Qianqing Palace, but changed places and rushed directly to Empress Zhang.

He ate hot pot at Queen Zhang's place at night, so he stayed here to sleep and did not return to the Qianqing Palace.

Recently, Zhu Youxiao has begun to enjoy the leisurely life of the harem again.

In the following days, nothing big happened in the court, and the world was quite stable. It's just that there were a lot of snow disasters in various places, and the imperial court sent a lot of people to relieve the disaster, and a lot of food was distributed in various places.

In recent years, the most thing Zhu Youxiao has done is to hoard grain, build grain and grass warehouses in various places, and have a posture of rats storing grain for the winter. And now it's finally working.

After all, there have been many disasters and difficulties since the Ming Dynasty, and there are too many places to use food in various places. I can't help it, I can only save it slowly.

Time is like water, and the sun and the moon are like water. In the blink of an eye, the eighth year of the Apocalypse has passed, and the ninth year of the Apocalypse has arrived.

The spring of the ninth year of the Apocalypse came a little later, and it was still a little colder than last year. The heavy snow melted a little, it can be said that the spring cold is steep, and the whole Ming Dynasty has slowly recovered.

However, the atmosphere above the court seemed more solemn, because the Ming Dynasty was going to send troops.

Originally, there have been some twists and turns in this matter in the court, and the reason is very simple, after all, this year's spring came later, and the snow in various places has not melted, resulting in this year's spring ploughing seems to be problematic.

If the spring ploughing is problematic, then this operation may have to be canceled.

If spring ploughing is problematic, this year's grain will still not be easy to consume on a large scale. Although a lot of it is stored, fighting a war really consumes food, and it consumes a lot of it.

In such a situation, the cancellation of this war is the best option. After all, if the snow does not melt, spring will come late, and spring will not be able to be cultivated, and there will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, God is still powerful, and when everyone was worried, he still released the spring, and the snow melted.

The matter of fighting a war is on the agenda, the army is being pulled out, and the personnel are being pulled out.

After the army left a few batches, Zhu Youxiao also started.

This time, Zhu Youxiao went to Liaodong, of course, not for the purpose of fighting. He goes for more political purposes, and at the same time for more economic purposes. The war can only be pushed back.

He was not needed in the war this time, and Zhu Youxiao could enjoy it with peace of mind.

After the news reached Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi could be said to be overjoyed.

I've been in Liaodong for eight years, how have I spent these eight years?

It's been nine years soon, three years and three years, three years and three years, so to speak.

Although his official position has been promoted again and again, he is now the governor of Liaodong, but what kind of place is this? Who wants to suffer such a thing here?

If it weren't for the emperor's confidence, he wouldn't have wanted to work here a long time ago. Now this opportunity has finally come, and he can finally lead someone to destroy Jiannu!

The first few years were the hardest, cleaning up the mess in Liaodong, and worrying all day long; Then there are the guards who are hiding in the city and holding back, and life can be said to be terrible.

Later, after a battle in Liaodong, this day was much better. Now it can be said that it is getting better and better.

After the destruction of Jiannu in this battle, he could leave Liaodong.

First, there is nothing to continue to do, and second, I have been in Liaodong for too long. If His Majesty hadn't trusted him, he would have been made into a sieve long ago.

Retire and go back to work.

Xiong Tingbi began to actively prepare, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's arrival.

The further northeast you go, the colder it gets, and although Beijing can be regarded as the north, the overall temperature is pretty good.

The further north you go, the colder it gets. However, the ground is hard, which is conducive to transportation, so it is best to start at this time.

After everyone arrived in Liaodong and was ready, the weather began to warm up, just in time for the war.

Among the teams rushing to Liaodong, there is a team that is very attractive.

The procession was huge, and in the middle of the procession there was a huge carriage drawn by sixteen tall horses, which looked spectacular.

This carriage is naturally not someone else's, but Zhu Youxiao's.

The carriage uses the most technological things of the Baigongyuan, such as leaf springs and steel bearings, so that the carriage can maintain stability and also have some flexibility.

When the cart moves forward, it is also more stable. The inside of the car is also very spacious, like a small house on the move.

Zhu Youxiao sat in it and could live very comfortably.

This point is actually not so important to Zhu Youxiao, in the past few years, he can be regarded as going south and north, although he has not suffered much, but there is still no problem in hurrying.

However, when this carriage came out, it actually got the support of many courtiers, saying that the Son of Heaven was majestic and wanted to Weijia Hainai, so such a big car emperor came to ride, just to show outsiders; After all, this time the emperor is going to Liaodong, not just to fight.

The people found all the reasons, and they were very resolute, and Zhu Youxiao accepted it. Anyway, there is no shortage of horses in the current Ming Dynasty, just find some good horses.

The sixteen horses pulling the cart are all red, without a trace of stray hair, and the selection is extremely strict.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao also knew how luxurious Zhang Juzheng was in his youth.

When he saw this carriage, Zhu Youxiao's heart felt very luxurious, even if the emperor had sat on it, he had already done some of it.

But Zhang Juzheng back then, people were carried by people. The large sedan chair lifted by forty-eight people shows how excessive.

Zhang Juzheng taught Emperor Wanli to save all day long, and the consumption in the palace was even cut again and again, and even the lamp was only half lit.

The monthly money of the eunuchs and palace maids has been reduced again and again, and many palaces in the palace have collapsed in half. In the palace, because of the reduction of costs, the garden has not been repaired much, and it looks barren and dilapidated.

In contrast, it is Zhang Juzheng's extravagant life. This made the young Wanli Emperor, how could he not have a rebellious mentality? How can you not think that Zhang Ju is a powerful minister like Cao Cao?

Even in the young heart of Emperor Wanli, it is likely that he has been worried for many years, for fear that Zhang Juzheng will replace him and even collude with his mother.

After all, Emperor Wanli's mother and Zhang Juzheng had also made him guilty of his own edict, and he also had a younger brother who was deeply loved by his mother. This also led to those things that Emperor Wanli did later.

Cause and effect!

Zhu Youxiao sat up straight, dragged himself out of his memories, turned his head to look at Wei Chaoke and said, "Did anyone send it out?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I've already gone." Wei Chao said: "The Ministry of Rites, the Celebrant Supervisor, the Jinyi Guard, and the East Factory have all sent people. The leader is Lord Zhao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who has already set off early this morning. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

"Go and invite Sun Chengzong over." Zhu Youxiao said after thinking about it.

This time when he went to Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao brought Sun Chengzong with him, but Xu Guangqi was left in the capital.

Wherever Zhu Youxiao went before, he was carrying Xu Guangqi with him. But this time was different, although Xu Guangqi also wanted to come, but it didn't work.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao took Sun Chengzong was because he knew military affairs, and on the other hand, because of historical regrets.

Anyway, in the original history, Sun Chengzong died too tragically in Liaodong. The whole family died, and that kind of decision was rare.

Zhu Youxiao brought Sun Chengzong up this time and asked him to witness, and he could discuss anything with him.

As for the British Gong Zhang Weixian, then it's no fun, let him stay in the capital.

It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong to come over.

A big man like him naturally has his own independent carriage, although it is not as exaggerated as Zhu Youxiao's, but it is also a four-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses, which is smooth and fast.

Colonel Zhu You also thought about it last time, are these courtiers who let him change the big car also for their own sake?

If they change to a big car, they can also change by the way. Otherwise, they are still sitting in a small carriage, and they change to a big car, which is not like a word.

They can only be one level smaller than themselves, just like the subordinates of many units in later generations want to give the leader a reason to change the car.

The leader drove a car worth 300,000 yuan, and you will drive a car of 100,000 yuan under you. But if the leader drives a car with more than 1 million yuan, you can't drive a car with 600,000 yuan, right?

Anyway, it's not the money in your own pocket that you spend, it's yourself who enjoys it, no one wants this kind of thing, right?

However, Zhu Youxiao quickly threw out this dark thought, if he continued to think like this, there would be no good people in the world, and he was afraid that no one would be able to trust him, and there would be no way to continue to adopt any suggestions.

It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong to get into Zhu Youxiao's luxury carriage.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was about to salute, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "In this way, there is no need to salute if it is cold." Aiqing come and sit down, I have already warmed the drink, just come over and drink a little to warm up. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong hurriedly agreed.

Although he is not young, Sun Chengzong's health is still good. Even if you are in good health, walking such a road and such weather is still a little difficult. It is also excellent to have a drink at the emperor's place.

After Sun Chengzong sat down, the Wei Dynasty put the wine and food on the table.

As for the fear of spilling the wine and food, it is impossible. This road is the road that the army drove over, it has long been flattened, and there are people in front of it who are specially cleaning, how can there be bumps?

Whether it's a horse or a coachman, it's all carefully chosen, and there won't be a bit of a problem. The car is very stable, so you can drink and eat meat here with confidence.

Wei Chao waited for the two monarchs and ministers beside him, and poured two glasses of warm wine for the two.

"Here, let's have a drink first." Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "I respect Master Sun, it's been a long time since I've had such a good drink with Master Sun." ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's title, Sun Chengzong's body was shocked, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty was very smart when he was studying, and now he is the emperor and the lord of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, and the minister congratulates His Majesty." ”

Sun Chengzong is Zhu Youxiao's teacher, but Zhu Youxiao has not shown this kind of closeness for a long time.

It's not that Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to show it, but sometimes there are some things that he can't help himself.

It's just that what you couldn't do before can now be done.

After the two of them finished drinking, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Sun Shilang has already set off this morning. ”
