Zhu Gaoxu's departure from Beijing made the atmosphere of the entire capital relaxed. There is such a prince who is powerful and does not play cards according to reason in the capital, and he has really harmed many people.

What's more, the imperial court chose a concubine for Zhu Zhanji, and those women who were relatively close to each other had been sent to the capital by their families.

Their arrival has become a scenery in the capital, and those idle gangs guard the city gates every day, and after getting the information, they sell them to various tea estates in the capital, and they can also get some rewards.

The news dissemination in this era mainly relies on those storytellers, and Zhu Zhan has basically thought about running a newspaper to guide public opinion, but this matter is a double-edged sword, which can hurt others and hurt himself.

He does not hold great power now, let alone get involved in the government and politics, that is, he runs a newspaper, which cannot be controlled, and he also makes wedding dresses for others, so the newspaper has not been set up for the time being.

However, although Daming has no news control, no one dares to talk nonsense and spread false information, because in this era, nonsense and information are spread, and the family may be ruined.

Although there is no clear law, people have a line in their hearts, and this line is not only the law of the Ming Dynasty, but also the customs and human feelings, and no one dares to cross this line easily.

At the same time that the capital became lively because of Zhu Zhanji's selection of concubines, a team of soldiers from Liaodong was also ushered in on the Jingshi Wharf.

Liu Jiang received the decree on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the inner eunuch who delivered the decree arrived in Shandong from the canal, then rode to Dengzhou Mansion, and then transferred to Jinshanwei by sea boat.

Liu Jiang only stayed at home for one day, asked the deputy general and the housekeeper to help settle the family, and led 30 personal guards to take the lead in returning to Beijing to resume the order.

From the Liaodong General Army to the Deputy Commander of the Navy, from the Governor of the Five Armies to the Governor of the Navy, whether it is from the position or the official rank, this time it is a promotion.

The Zuo Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, just in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there are dozens of people, and this official position is only a fictitious title.

But now that he has been transferred to the Navy Command, although he doesn't know what the title of this command is, just because he retains the title of Grand Governor, and there is no other Governor of the Navy besides him, you can know how good this position is.

What's more, being transferred from the bitter cold of Liaodong to the prosperous Jingshi is not only a promotion of official positions, but also represents that he has finally entered the center.

Since Yongle made a big mistake in the first northern expedition in the eighth year, and he was sent to Liaodong, he thought that his life was over.

This time with the army to the north, as a pioneer officer, he learned the mistakes of the first expedition, marched cautiously, and killed the enemy bravely, but when the war was over, he was still sent back to Liaodong.

However, all of a sudden, he received the holy decree of promotion, and he was still the only governor of the navy after His Royal Highness Taisun, how could this not surprise him.

According to the internal eunuch, it was His Royal Highness Taisun who took the initiative to ask the emperor for him. He thought that this time he went north, and he didn't have much contact with his grandson.

Even because he later served as a pioneer officer, he never went into battle with his grandson to kill the enemy. Why did Taisun take a fancy to him?

As a veteran who has been fighting with the army since the Taizu period, Liu Jiang can go from a small soldier who replaced his father's army quota to the position of a general in the country step by step, and of course he is not a fool.

He only needs to think of the preparation of the navy to make him understand that what he has done in Liaodong has penetrated into the sacred heart.

Taisun was able to bypass so many generals in the DPRK and choose himself, I am afraid that he valued himself not only because he was old enough, but also proficient in water warfare.

Therefore, in the half month he came to the capital, he has been recalling his military experience, and wants to come up with a set of military strategies for rebuilding the navy that satisfies the emperor and his grandson.

He has been stuck in the cabin for the past few days, and as soon as the ship stopped, Liu Jiang couldn't wait to board the dock. The guards also began to busily lead the horses and pack their luggage.

Looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, Liu Jiang's heart was also full of emotion, from now on, he will no longer be a passerby, but will become the master of this city.

A young eunuch came over with two small chamberlains, and behind them, there was also a group of guards dressed in Yulin Guard's costumes.

Now the entire Yulin Guard has become Taisun's personal guard. Originally, during the Northern Expedition, Taisun's guard was only one of the Yulin Left Guard, but after the New Year, Taisun was ordered to form a navy, and the emperor also assigned the Yulin Right Guard to him.

King Han's three guards were reduced to one guard, and King Zhao now only has one guard, only the grandson and the crown prince are favored by the emperor, and one person is divided into two guards.

"Liu Dudu, I've finally waited for you, is this journey still peaceful?"

Liu Jiang also met Li Liang during the Northern Expedition, and knew that he was a popular man in front of his grandson, so he didn't dare to slack off. He arched his hand and smiled: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful all over the world, how unrestful." However, Young Eunuch Li waited here for a long time, and Jiang Guo did not want to go. ”

Li Liang said with a smile: "The governor doesn't know anything, His Royal Highness has been calculating the itinerary of the governor, and ordered that when you arrive in the capital, you will take it to the palace immediately." ”

Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Jiang has been running all the way, and it is inevitable that there will be failures, and I hope that the young eunuch will allow me to find an inn first, freshen up, and then meet His Highness." ”

Li Liang said with a smile: "Your Highness has already thought carefully for the Governor, the Governor has always been an official of foreign enemies, and he has no residence in the capital, and His Highness has instructed Jinyi Wei to help the Governor find a few houses." As for today's accommodation, it is also arranged in the vanguard of the government army on Chang'an Xiejie, in addition to the general, all attendants can also stay. Wash your face and change your clothes on the way, and you can enter the palace. ”

Seeing that the other party arranged it so properly, Liu Jiang also took the host, only brought two personal guards, and followed Li Liang to a boat with an internal supervisor.

There are many people in Jingshi, and it is forbidden to gallop horses everywhere, so sometimes it is faster to take a boat than to ride a horse.

Liu Jian saw that it was almost noon, and he thought that he would enter the palace at this time, and he would inevitably have lunch with his grandson when he climbed up. As soon as he entered Beijing, he was able to receive such courtesy, and this naval governor had no constraints, so I am afraid that it would not be for Jitai to come.

The boat went all the way up the Qinhuai River, and the speed of its journey was not slow. Li Liang asked the little eunuch to make Liu Jiang a cup of tea, and then said: "The governor will go to the military department to report first, and if you see Your Highness today, you will definitely be able to meet the emperor tomorrow." ”

Liu Jiang arched his hand and said: "The young eunuch is thoughtful, and Jiang is grateful. ”

As the governor who returned to Beijing to report on his work, it was not for the sake of emergency military information, and it would be very good to be able to arrange for the audience within three days.

Because he was favored by the grandson, and now he can be favored by the emperor, this is like a dream for Liu Jiang.

Li Liang said with a smile: "This is arranged by His Royal Highness, and our family does not dare to take credit." In recent days, in addition to the construction of the farm, His Royal Highness has been waiting for the governor to enter Beijing. His Royal Highness hoped that the Governor would assist His Highness in naval affairs, and presumably the Governor also had a charter in mind. ”

Although he couldn't figure out Li Liang's role in front of the grandson, since he had already said this, Liu Jiang could only ask his personal guards to come up with the strategy for forming a navy written on the way to Beijing.

Li Liang didn't avoid Liu Jiang, so he directly opened it and watched it carefully. The boat traveled for about half an hour and arrived at the Huitong Bridge near Chang'an Xiejie, and then stopped.

At this time, Li Liang was also able to read this strategy, and then handed it to Liu Jiang and said: "The governor is really qualified, and many ideas are thought-provoking. However, we think that you don't have to come up with this strategy today, I also have a strategy here, you can take a look at it first. ”

Liu Jiang complained in his heart, he had been delayed for half an hour just now, and if he had taken it out earlier, he would not have run out of time to watch it.

But at this time, he could only express his gratitude and took the stack of bamboo-patterned paper handed over by Li Liang. When he looked at the cover, he froze, because the strategy of this copy was exactly the same as the name he wrote. On the cover, "Naval Preparatory Strategy" is written.

As soon as he got ashore, ignoring the pedestrians on the road, he opened this strategy and looked at it, and before he met Taisun, he had to read it roughly to know what Taisun thought.

As soon as he opened it, he was fascinated by the content inside, not because of how good Taisun's writing was, but because compared to the strategy he took out, Taisun's strategy was much more detailed, and many of the places he didn't think of at all, and he didn't care about it at all, and he wrote it down in detail.

Walking all the way, looking all the way, when he came to the front guard of the government army, he just washed his face in a hurry, changed into a formal suit, and asked the personal guards to help him comb his hair, and took out the transfer order to go to the military headquarters to register.

On the way to the military headquarters, he was still watching carefully, and the more he looked, the more surprised he became. Compared with this strategy, his own strategy is almost as rough as if it was written by a new hand.

He couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Who is the author of this strategy, this is a great talent!" ”

Li Liang smiled with satisfaction: "Of course, it is from the hands of His Royal Highness, besides, who can write this strategy before the governor takes office?" ”

Liu Jiang saw some new terms in the strategy, but he had actually guessed some. Because this highness is famous for liking to create some new terms.

On the way to Beijing, he saw a conversation between Taisun and the ministers of the Ministry of Industry in the newspaper, in which some of the terms used by Taisun were unheard of, but they were more appropriate than the original terms.

Just by virtue of this, no one in Confucianism dares to say that Taisun is not learned and unskilled, and Confucianism is not proficient. Because behind these new names, it is impossible to hide the essence in Taisun's thoughts, and today's Confucianism does not dare to say that he can surpass Taisun.

Although Taisun's proposal to revise the Da Ming Law and protect private legal property has not yet passed, his request to raise the importance of other disciplines has also been criticized by the ministers. However, he wanted to build ten research institutes on his farm and a water-powered workshop by the river, but no one dared to oppose it openly.

Today's grandson is still quite kind to Confucianism, and also pays attention to maintaining the status of Confucianism.
