In the Ming Dynasty of the previous dynasty, the six departments were sorted by officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the officials were the first of the six departments.

Dahua has basically continued this set, but in recent years, the project has been huge, and the civil engineering has been carried out repeatedly, so that the status of the Ministry of Industry has faintly risen.

When Jiangnan fell, only Suzhou was a piece of Han land, and many people with lofty ideals arrived in Suzhou, providing Hou Xuanyan with sufficient talent reserves. Wang Fuzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, fled to Suzhou with Huang Zongxi back then, and now ranks first in the Ministry of Industry.

Xia Rubi was a good friend of Wang Fuzhi back then, and he once tried to win the test in Huguang Township together, and later resisted the Qing Dynasty together.

It's just that Xia Rubi had no intention of pursuing a career, and after the success of the Northern Expedition, he did not enter the court as an official, but chose to travel around the world with the piano boy.

Xia Rubi's carriage arrived in Jinling, went straight to Wang Fuzhi's mansion, and only handed it in, and after a while, the corner gate opened, moved the threshold, and directly let his carriage drive in.

The car entered the Shangshu Mansion, Xia Rubi was familiar with the road, and went straight to the study without the guidance of others.

Sure enough, Wang Fuzhi was waiting in the study, and after seeing him, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "Isn't this the head of the Lotus Crown, it's a rare guest, how do you remember that your old friend is here." ”

Xia Rubi called himself a Lotus Crown Taoist, and between Nanyue and Jiuyi Mountain Spring Stone, he played the piano and chanted all day long, just like a wandering Taoist.

Xia Rubi stroked his beard and smiled smugly: "Of course, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, who does Wang Chuanshan think His Majesty is today?" ”

Wang Fuzhi's face tightened, and discussing the human monarch and emperor behind his back was itself an unruly thing. This old friend of mine is used to being dissolute, and he doesn't pay attention to officialdom at all, if he answers him, it will only increase the trouble in the future. But if you don't reply, you don't seem free and easy enough, and you fall behind in front of your old friends.

This old way, how can he be so ignorant Wang Fuzhi was a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.

After all, Wang Fuzhi, who was still more competitive, thought about it for a while and pretended to be free and easy to say: "Today, he is a great talent, a martial artist, a martial artist, an expulsion of the Tartars, and a re-creation of the Han Dynasty, which is really an emperor through the ages." ”

Xia Rubi slapped his palms and said with a smile: "In the end, you have been friends for many years, you and I have the same thoughts, although Your Majesty is so heroic, there is one thing that is not satisfactory." ”

Wang Fu's heart was frightened, for fear that his old friend would say something that he shouldn't say, so he kept his face calm and didn't speak.

Xia Rubi only thought about it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was born in the Hou clan of Jiading, the first emperor Lie led the crowd, and the family all responded, so that the people withered, and so far the royal family has only one majesty, a prince, and an uncle." If you don't spread the branches, what should you do if the royal family declines in a hundred years? ”

Wang Fuzhi didn't expect him to say this, and while the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, he also gave birth to a trace of curiosity, and said: "What my brother said is true, but what idea does he have for Your Majesty?" ”

Xia Rubi laughed and said: "This Tao is in Nanyue Mountain, and a kind of Taoist friend collects the essence of heaven and earth, gathers the aura of the sun and the moon, and refines the Nine Turns Yang Dan. ”

One of the princes slapped the table, ignoring the friendship for many years, and reprimanded: "Does Xia Lian want me to repeat the Red Pill case?!" ”

Xia Rubi was stunned for a moment and said: "Why do you say this, my elixir is not the old method of ordinary Taoist alchemy, but it is made of mountain otter bones, tiger and leopard whips, and navel navels. Besides, I donate medicine only so that His Majesty can spread rain and dew and give birth to more imperial heirs, not to seek officials, and not to make a fortune, how can I say about the red pill case? ”

The mountain otter is a very strong animal, and bone meal has an aphrodisiac function. Fan Chengda of the Song Dynasty said in "Guihai Yu Hengzhi": "Otters are obscene and poisonous, and there is this thing in the mountains, and all beasts are avoided." The otter is not coincidental, hugging the wood and withering. ”

The umbilicus, also known as the fur seal kidney, is the genitals of male fur seals (warm fur beasts) or seals, and is often caught in the spring when the sea ice opens, and its genitals are taken and dried in the shade into medicine.

These things together, even elephants may not be able to stand it, Wang Fuzhi is knowledgeable, and after listening to it, he is in a cold sweat, and his old friend is good at everything, but it is a little extreme.

He worshiped the son of the day and thanked him for restoring the Han dynasty, as if he were a god. Unexpectedly, he, who didn't want to be an official, actually thought of this idea to serve the Son of Heaven

"Brother, I am a scholar of the six books, how can I dedicate such things to Your Majesty, alas, you are a eunuch and a courtier." Wang Fuzhi is known for his eloquence, but he was also confused by his friend who didn't know what to say.

Xia Rubi came with great interest, and returned in disappointment, he was originally misunderstood, and he snorted coldly when he heard the words, and he didn't give this Ministry of Industry any face, and left angrily.

Wang Fuzhi looked at the medicine box on the table, smiled bitterly and just wanted to throw it away, but then thought of Xia Rubi's words: Your Majesty After a hundred years, the royal family will decline, what should I do?

"The decline of the royal family, what should I do"

Wang Fuzhi chewed this sentence repeatedly, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, just a prince His Majesty is in his prime and has been fighting in the army for four years, is there something unspeakable about the root of the disease, or is it not good in that regard?

In the study of Shangshu Mansion, Wang Fuzhi walked around until dusk.

A little scholar came and shouted, "Master, Madame has asked you to go to dinner." ”

Wang Fuzhi was shocked to realize that a day had passed, his eyes flashed, and he made up his mind.

"The lord humiliates the ministers to death, the lord worries about the humiliation of the ministers, for the sake of Your Majesty, what should I do if my Wang Chuanshan tries the medicine by himself!"

With trembling hands, he took one pill from the medicine box and swallowed it.

That night, in the bedroom in Shangshu Mansion, it didn't stop all night

The next day, Mrs. Wang's face was full of red, and the whole person looked a lot younger, and the maids and daughters-in-law made up a pile of flattery, but Mrs. Wang's eyes were only staring at her master, with indescribable love and tenderness.

Wang Fuzhi didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, he was quietly observing his body

Well, it's okay today;

It's been two days, it's fine;

Ten days later, in the Nuanfang Pavilion, Hou Xuanyan convened the ministers to discuss the matter of the Hai Festival.

It is nothing more than a high color shed, all countries come to congratulate, and enjoy with the people, these things Jinling City has experience.

Hou Xuanyan briefly admonished a few words, Gu Yanwu got up and told the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites, and several bigwigs nodded one after another.

"The veterans of the four battalions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, most of them have disabled soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and some can be selected to take the stage this time to comfort the hearts of the soldiers."

"Yes, the Ministry of Rites has put a lot of thought into it this time, and it is deeply in line with my heart!" Hou Xuanyan was also very satisfied, turned his head and said: "The Ministry of Industry should also use some thought this time, after all, this celebration was born to calm the sea area, and it can appropriately add some maritime fun." It also allows the people of Jinling to see the culture of the sea, and encourages everyone to go to Jingnan and Nanhai Zhudao to play and do business. ”

After saying that, Wang Fuzhi didn't respond

There was silence in the Nuanfang Pavilion, everyone turned their heads to look, Hou Xuanyan was a little annoyed, and coughed lightly.

Wang Fuzhi's eyelids jumped, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he thought that the news had leaked, so he bit his teeth, got up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, a piece of justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, the body is not afraid of shadows, and the minister has something to pay tribute to Your Majesty." ”

Count the faces confused

Hou Xuanyan, like several other scholars and scholars,

"What a mess"
