Chapter 181: In full swing
The emperor seemed to be pulled by a rope and slowly walked in front of the Qin family. At this moment, I am afraid that there is only the Qin clan in his eyes, how can there be any beacon fire and wolf smoke in the north?
Wang Zhen's mind may still be stuck on the matter of attacking the Tartar thieves who entered the Kou, and without looking up at the emperor's expression, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Yue is on an expedition, and this matter will be discussed by the court of hundreds of civil and military officials, and it will be decided as soon as possible." β
The emperor just stared at the Qin clan in front of him with a little immortal aura in a daze, his eyes were full of pity, "Just tell Wenyuan Pavilion and the six departments, and King Yue can find whoever he wants." β
"However, it is advisable for Your Majesty to make up his mind on certain important matters."
"Well, no need, King Yue will do what he says."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but think of that old topic: love the country or love the beauty!
A newly adult son of heaven is still like this, but I am afraid that after entering middle and old age, most of the sons of heaven who are accustomed to words will be happy to play the game of vows, and the most inseparable thing at that time must be about the feelings of beauty, just like Tang Xuanzong, compared with the early years of Shengming, in his later years, he was more like a love saint, so that "from now on the king is not early".
At the moment it seems that the answer to an interesting question is to be given. Qin, Zhou, and Haizhou Qian, the three of them must be three types of beauties with very different styles, so, in the emperor's mind, who is more exciting to him?
After a while, Zhu Qiming realized his absurdity and left it with others, this problem may still be a little troublesome, but here in the emperor, it is not a problem at all. If you don't choose well, don't choose, just take it all and leave no one behind!
Wang Zhen finally understood that the emperor was a little out of shape, how clever he was! Immediately, the conversation changed, and suddenly it came to the draft: "Those elderly chamberlains are blind one by one!" Your Majesty, it is better to immediately reopen the subject of the draft girl, and put the niece of the Jingci Immortal Master into the next batch of candidates for re-election! β
The emperor still looked at the Qin family deeply, smiled indifferently, and was noncommittal.
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea! Zhu Qiming didn't know whether to feel happy for the Jingci Immortal Master or sad for the Qin family, but he felt that the matter had come to this point, and there was no turning back. "The prince is wrong! After the show girl went through layers of screening, there were a total of fifty ladies who were finally retained, and according to the king, there are only forty-nine ladies left to be retained! β
To be precise, there should be only forty-seven places left, and in addition to the Qin family, the Qian family and the Zhou family took up the other two places. However, everyone understands that at this moment, all you need to do is point out the meaning, and you don't have to worry about the trivial question of which number is more accurate, forty-seven or forty-nine.
Seeing that the emperor turned his head and laughed at Zhu Qiming a few times, Wang Zhen immediately laughed and said: "Hehe, King Yue is very right!" Come here, send the niece of Jing Ci Immortal Master to stay in Chuxiu Palace, and send someone to serve her! β
Zhu Qiming glared at Wang Zhen fiercely, then said goodbye to the emperor and hurriedly left the Qianqing Palace. At the moment, his top priority is to hurry up and go to Sima Jian!
Sima Jian Chaofang is located at the northeast end of the imperial city, the lintel is written on the three big characters of "Sima Jian", here is the important place in charge of the world's military talismans, few ministers walk around here.
When Zhu Qiming stepped into the door of Sima Jian's room, a large number of internal officials turned their heads in unison, and saw a young man wearing the prince's regular clothes appear in the important place, and one by one his jaw almost dropped.
A well-wisher saluted him and kindly reminded: "His Royal Highness King Yue, this is Sima Jian!" β
"Your Highness may have gone to the wrong place, it's still too late to move back!"
"His Royal Highness King Yue, don't believe it, this is really Sima Jian!"
Shang Huaiying heard the movement and walked out of the room with a puzzled face, "See His Royal Highness King Yue." Then he walked a few steps to Zhu Qiming's side, and said anxiously: "Although Your Highness has a noble status, Sima Jian is not a place for you to come. β
Raising his eyes and looking around, he saw that everyone's eyes widened, looking at him half worried and half surprised, and Zhu Qiming just smiled indifferently. "This king is acting in a holy commandment, so be relieved. Father-in-law Shang, the emperor said that the king can do whatever he wants. β
Shang Huaiying was slightly stunned, and then stretched out his hand to invite Zhu Qiming into the inner room, "In this way, His Royal Highness is going to lead the troops again!" He turned to his subordinates and said: "You are all busy with your own affairs, and His Royal Highness King Yue is acting on orders." β
With Shang Huaiying turning a corner and walking out of the sight of a large group of internal officials, Zhu Qiming didn't want to go any further, so he stopped and grabbed Shang Huaiying, "This king came to his father-in-law before the celebrant sent the news, just because he wanted to ask his father-in-law for help with something." β
"Your Highness, please."
"This time the transfer of troops and horses involves several guards around the capital, and this king will send people to come to deal with his father-in-law to deal with the military talismans. However, where to transfer troops and where to assemble, please lock your father-in-law in your stomach and don't reveal half a point to anyone! β
Shang Huaiying suddenly sighed vigorously when he heard this, "Internal traitors are more hateful than external enemies!" Poor Zhao Gang's every move is probably known to the Warat people, but the Ming army knows nothing about the movements of the Tartar thieves, how can this battle be fought! Your Royal Highness rest assured, the emperor doesn't ask about trivial matters, and others don't want to hear even a little bit of news from the Sprinkle family! β
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of internal traitors in China, and many Ming people have been in trouble with the Japanese in the early days, but now there are people who secretly make friends with the war, resulting in the enemy being dark and the enemy being clear, forming an extremely asymmetrical war pattern.
Thinking of Zhao Gang's death and the death of all 5,000 elites, Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be gloomy.
The two chatted a few more words, Zhu Qiming immediately said goodbye, and when Fang walked out of the celebrant more than ten zhang away, he caught a glimpse of Yang Pu standing by the palace wall and waving at him.
"Elder Yang Ge is well-informed!" Zhu Qiming approached quickly, caught a glimpse of Yang Pu's relieved look, and immediately muttered in his heart.
I'm going to the north to work hard, what are you happy about!
"Your Highness is finally willing to go out, Sheji is very lucky! His Royal Highness doesn't have to think about it, let Daming pass this difficult hurdle first, if His Royal Highness has any grievances in the future, Old Decay will try to give His Highness justice! β
Sometime? It's going to grow in the future! One day you let go, don't care about everything, hide in another world to enjoy the blessings, but this king is in the prime of life, where will I find you to fulfill your promise!
"Where does Your Highness plan to intercept the Tartars?"
That's the right thing! Zhu Qiming said quietly: "Liaodong is too far away, Xiao Wang can't control it; Datong has suffered from the scourge of war, and Daming will mobilize heavy troops to deploy troops to the border, and there is no gap for Tartar thieves. After all, only the defensive gaps on the side of Miyun and Xuanfu are afraid that they will become the hardest hit areas for Tartar thieves to cross the border and plunder. β
Yang Pu invited Zhu Qiming to move in the direction of Donghua Gate. "It seems that His Highness has made up his mind. This is good, the Ministry of War issued a document to transfer troops, and Sima Jian issued a talisman, which is a common practice of internal and external checks and balances, and His Royal Highness must have ordered the affairs of Sima Jian to be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War. β
Well, I can't ask for it! Zhu Qiming wanted to say thank you, but suddenly frowned, and looked at Yang Pu with some suspicion, "Now Yang Yuanfu occasionally returns to the court to see things, have you done the main thing in the military department?" β
"His Royal Highness doesn't know, Yang Shiqi is just making a show, and after the emperor's wedding next year, he will ignore everything and devote himself to his old age. Oh, by the way, Yang Shiqi has a little niece who is the same age as His Royal Highness. β
Well? Want to be a peacemaker again? Could it be that the emperor's words "No matter who you ask for as a concubine, I am not allowed" reached Yang Pu's ears so quickly?
Zhu Qiming glanced at Yang Pu in surprise, and muttered in his heart: A dignified scholar has actually done the work of a matchmaker, and he can't drop the price!
"Does Yang Yuanfu have such a young niece?" Dropping these words, Zhu Qiming secretly quickened his pace.
"It's just a little bit older than His Royal Highness, as the saying goes, female juniors, hug gold bricks!"
Zhu Qiming walked as fast as flying, and said perfunctorily: "How old is she?" β
"Your Highness, wait for the old age! She's Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Nineteen. β
Cut! The leftover girl who can't get married, how many years older, I have to call it Auntie! Zhu Qiming stepped up his strength and rushed towards the Donghua GateΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
When I returned to Yuefu, I only needed to breathe a breath of familiar air, and my heart was already full of mixed feelings, and I had the urge to cry for a while. Browsing the grass and trees in the courtyard to his heart's content, he endured and endured, and then he stepped onto the road.
"His Royal Highness King Yue is back home!"
"His Royal Highness King Yue!"
Many civil officials from the Yuefu Inner Government took the lead in welcoming them, followed by Liang Gang, Tang Ji, Shi Feng, Wang Lie and other escort officers rushing quickly, and finally Huang An, Xiao Xizi and other servants trotted over, everyone excitedly gathered around Zhu Qiming, and the greetings were suddenly endless.
Looking up, the grandmother and the maid were crowded at the gate of the inner courtyard far away, looking forward to the late return of the master.
This scene is a bit tear-jerking! Zhu Qiming gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and after a brief greeting, he ordered everyone to disperse, called Shangliang Gang and a group of military attachΓ©s, and hurriedly came to the Cunxin Hall to discuss matters.
Liang Gang pushed away his subordinates and looked at Zhu Qiming expectantly, "Your Highness, the Jinyi guards who were secretly monitoring Yuefu outside the gate have all withdrawn, and it is estimated that they will not come back, so why don't you let Yun Niang go back to Beijing?" β
You're really picky! Zhu Qiming gave Liang Gang a comforting look with sympathy, and then moved his eyes to scan the people in the hall.
"The Tartar thieves are plundering across the border again, and this king is ordered to lead an army to exterminate the Tartar thieves. A total of 5,000 troops were selected and transferred from the guards around the capital. Tang Halberd! In addition to Shi Feng and Wang Lie, you select three more thousand households, and after the documents of the military department are delivered to Yuefu, bring the documents and the military talismans issued by Sima Jian to the soldiers selected by each guard, remember, order five thousand households to assemble at the designated place with their selected military secrets, and do not reveal their whereabouts! β
"Yes!"
As soon as they heard that the big battle was imminent, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn.
"Commander Liang, the supplies dispatched by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry will be sent to Yuefu first, and then you will lead people to the north."
"Yes!"
Tang Ji seemed to think for a while, and said after a while: "Your Highness, more than 1,000 young soldiers have been trained for half a year, and I think that now there are thirty percent of young soldiers available, so it is better to let them be His Highness's close guards." β
"Okay, you will be in charge, and you will be by my king's side."
