Yu Huai couldn't see the figure, but Chen Zilong was close to him, listening to his praise and disapproval, Fang Yizhi felt embarrassed, but fortunately, Chen Zilong was his brother-like person, so he had to divert the topic at the moment and said with a smile: "Brother Wozi, congratulations on being promoted." ”

Chen Zilong's eunuch journey was not smooth, although the poetry is unique, the literary talent is outstanding, in later generations, he has the reputation of "Ming Poetry Palace, the first word of the Ming Dynasty", but at that time, because the surname is calm, rarely do things to show up, so the reputation is not as outstanding as the general little brother in the Fu Society.

So although the main alliance is restored, but the name is not obvious, so he can only continue to sink into the subordinates, in Chongzhen ten years, he was only in the top three of the jinshi, the literary luck is very poor, and then he is a small official such as a manager, thirteen years before acting as the magistrate, seventeen years, before he was awarded the military department to the matter, not in time, Yanjing has been broken.

When he was confused in his hometown, a few days ago, he was sent to Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, and Chen Zilong's military department was exempted from the matter, but it was awarded to the Ministry of Industry and the Battalion Catering Division.

Although it is a seven-grade in the matter, it is just a prominent position of the Qing Dynasty, the great government of the court, you can make suggestions at any time, and if you enter the court, the emperor will definitely read it yourself, so people who are not very talented and famous will not be awarded this position.

Although Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry is a fifth-grade and his grade has been promoted, in Chen Zilong's opinion, this position will not make him happy, on the contrary, he will feel more frustrated.

As soon as Fang Yizhi spoke, when he saw Chen Zilong's face, he immediately knew that he had lost his words.

So I had to think about the topic again, and said with a forced smile: "The cabinet scholars have not yet been decided, but they have to repair the place first." How, where is the repair? ”

"It's on the east side of the Fengxian Hall?"

"Wen Lou?"

"That's right, first repair the cabinet, and then build the martial tower, I don't know what it means? Also, when it comes to serious official business, the gloomy color on Chen Zilong's face is much less. He is such a person, he does things in a straightforward way, and he is very serious.

At this time, it was noon, Chen Zilong was wearing a azure official uniform, his belt was hanging low, and he knew that he was not particular about the materials at a glance.

Behind him, there was a secretary of the official department of the Ministry of Industry, three directors of the camp catering and cleaning department in green robes, and more than a dozen secretaries such as the principal, the deputy, the secretary, the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Wensi Academy.

Following this boss, the hardships he endured were really not small, climbing up and down, calculating places, materials, nuclear work, and even a few craftsman leaders were also on the right and left, ready to be Chen Zilong's consultant at any time.

"Look here, the houses on both sides of the noon gate have collapsed."

Chen Zilong pointed to the large number of toppled houses outside the palace gate, and frowned: "If this piece is repaired, I am afraid that it will take more than 100 rooms." No matter how frugal you are, you have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for materials. ”

"No one can say anything, can they?" Fang Yizhi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's own appropriation of silver, repairing the cabinet and the court room of hundreds of officials, as well as the three yamen of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment, and several yamen of the Ministry of Rites do not need to be repaired for the time being...... I wondered, why is he so rich? The emperor has always had no money, but the light used in the internal treasury, and the treasury of His Royal Highness is very full. ”

"I heard that before going south, Uncle Zhou gave him private money."

"No wonder!" Fang Yizhi said with a sigh: "I heard that Uncle Guo's old lady was robbed by Li Chuang, and the gold and silver are more than one million, he is so rich, no matter how much he gives to the master, it is a lot of silver." ”

"That's right."

Chen Zilong was only busy with himself, and he couldn't care about Fang Yizhi for a while. It's also very angry, Fang Yizhi is also a rare genius in the Restoration Society who likes Taixi's knowledge, in his early years, like Chen Zilong, he also studied under Xu Guangqi, and learned a little bit of geometry, but physics is very deep.

These so-called geniuses are all pedantic and truly first-class smart people. Tessie academics, although they are only for fun, are no worse than the so-called Tessie missionaries.

Recently, Tang Ruowang came to Nanjing with a large number of disciples, and lived near Chaoyang Gate in the east of the imperial city, dozens of masters and apprentices lived in a big mansion, and they were already lecturing.

Today, Chen Zilong repaired the house, and what he liked was this guy's geometric and mathematical skills, but he didn't have a proper shape, and Chen Zilong, who was in trouble, was very depressed.

Seeing him like this, Fang Yizhi secretly stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he asked for relevant tools and began to calculate honestly.

After noon, the survey calculation was almost the same. In early summer, the sky was bright, and there were still many people coming and going near the palace gate, Chen Zilong thought about it, first asked the staff to go back and wait, and then said: "This matter was personally assigned by the crown prince, and I have been ordered to play back immediately, I want to go back now, so, how about you?" ”

This old man is very serious in doing things, Fang Yizhi had to say: "Of course I am following Jiwei." ”

"Okay, then, let's go to the palace gate and hand over the sign."

From the court room to the yamen, and then to the palace gate, there is a long distance, but it is not convenient to ride a horse, so you can only walk.

Outside, walking in official uniforms is very unofficial, and outside the gate of the imperial palace, there are many people like this, so the two of them walk in the car, only feeling the cool breeze, but it is very comfortable.

Just looking at it, there are already many officials in the imperial city, and there are also many officials in green clothes, and the original desolate and decrepit scenes are completely invisible.

Nanjing was originally only to accompany the capital, the six officials have never been complete, and the subordinates are even more lacking, to tell the truth, in addition to the military department is responsible for the defense of the southeast, holding real power, and the household coinage management warehouse, there is also a large-scale township examination once every three years, and the candidates from the southeastern provinces gather in Nanjing Gongyuan to take the examination when this stay in the capital will be lively, and it is usually a standard nursing home.

Those who are incapable and have no big mistakes, those who are old and decrepit and unpleasant, and those who have made small mistakes...... And so on, basically, in the first 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was such a place to send away obscure officials.

The same is true of eunuchs.

Until now, that is, in late April of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, everything is finally different from usual.

Thinking about it, even after the emperor arrived in Nanjing a while ago, the overall situation still did not change. On the contrary, the crown prince has only been here for such a while, and the weather of staying in the capital is very different from what he said in the past.

This is also the reason why Chen Zilong is willing to meet the prince.

After all, he is also the leader of the Restoration Society, and many bigwigs in Donglin are prejudiced against the prince, and feel that the prince's interference in politics and in charge of the army is against the ancestral system, so he is very dissatisfied. And although Chen Zilong is not so stubborn, he also faintly feels that the reaction of the senior bosses is more in anger, or fighting for power, so he does not agree with it in his heart. However, the emperor did not restrict the prince from reaching out everywhere, and Chen Zilong did not fully agree with it in his heart.

Such a situation is always easy to remind people of the story of the early Tang Dynasty!

The only thing that is different and reassuring is that the prince is already the prince and has not been built, Yuanji.

With this kind of complicated thoughts, after Chen Zilong was ordered, he was determined to meet the prince, anyway, the silver was from the prince's inner treasury, and there was nothing in terms of reason and law.

………… Yu Huai is the speaker of the East Palace, the military affairs house who has been decided, according to the system, the military affairs house is responsible for drafting the will, copying the internal files, in short, it is the work of auxiliary writing.

The Minister of War was the emperor's senior secretary, and the military affairs clerk waited for him.

Even so, in the end, it was a close minister, when he arrived at the left door, the forbidden army guarding the door checked the right cards, and the officer who led the team nodded in greeting, and then waved him in.

Wait through the West Corner Gate, all the way inside, to the outside of the Duanjing Hall where the crown prince of the inner court lives, and see the prince's guard coming out of the palace gate from a distance, although Yu Huai has been meeting the prince every day recently, but in the end it is very short to follow, so he still feels flustered and short-breathed, he lifted the hem of his robe and knelt honestly beside the road.

"Is it Yu Huai?"

When the crown prince passed by, Yu Huai kowtowed, Zhu Cihong paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Get up, people who meet every day." By the way, Wang Duo came back first, I heard that you were caught in the inner house, why did you come back early? ”

Although Zhu Cihong is less than sixteen years old, he has repeatedly passed the test of life and death, and has brought out an elite strong army, so he already has a strong feeling of being a superior, which is the feeling of status, upbringing, and the feeling of self-confidence and prestige brought by long-term orders.

Yu Huai is a talented person, although he is very smart, but the smarter he is, the sooner he will realize that the prince is not as smart as himself, and his prestige, martial arts, faith, perseverance, and everything is stronger than others, so although he has not followed for a long time, he has been very respectful.

At this time, listening to Zhu Cihong making fun of him and Wu Weiye was something that had never happened to Yu Huai, although he was full of worries, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Cihong was happy, and Chen Mingxia beside him joked: "That Hedong Jun of the Qian Mansion is really afraid to be taught, and he is a face to Lord Qian, and even waved his fists at each other, plucking his beard and pouring wine, and Lord Qian has no one who dares to disobey, speaking of which, the minister has seen it with his own eyes a few times......

"Hehe, interesting, very interesting." For Liu Ruyi, of course, Zhu Cihong knows very well that Qin Huai Bayan's name is about a few modern men who don't know. He let out only a few incomprehensible laughs...... No matter how good it is, she is already a woman, if she doesn't marry Lao Qian, wouldn't it be good to have a show...... After listening to a few words, he interrupted Chen Mingxia's words and said to Yu Huai: "Let's get down to business, I was going to see how the forbidden army brought was going, I heard that I was not outside for a while, and they were already in the opposite pool...... How's it going, did you go in and hear anything worth talking about? ”

Zhu Cihong's side is like this, everyone has the opportunity to speak freely, Yu Huai came from the Qian Mansion, looking hurried, of course, there is something to say, Zhu Cihong looked at his face, and he saw it at a glance.
