Zhu Youzhen looked at Mi Fold with a smile on his face.

Wang Chengen, on the side, already knew the content of the secret fold, Master Dong had already mentioned it, and he also secretly admired it, Su Tiancheng, this kid, was clear-minded, told the truth, without the slightest concealment, which was in line with the emperor's taste.

"Father-in-law, I really can't imagine it, Su Tiancheng is still selfish, he searched Kuang Siming's mansion, he thought about getting benefits for himself, but he couldn't get benefits, so he said that he did it for nothing, I have never seen such a straightforward minister, so it seems that I still have to give Su Tiancheng some benefits, otherwise he will not work hard in the future, and I will be disappointed."

In this case, there is no need to answer, Wang Chengen lowered his head and did not speak.

"I see, Su Tiancheng still has some vision, just say that this matter of dealing with salt merchants is very far-reaching, he didn't act rashly, it's not simple, it's much better than those bombastic civil and military officials, I regret it a little, I should keep Su Tiancheng in the capital."

"This time Su Tiancheng came to the capital, I want to take the school exam."

Su Tiancheng knows that there are many things that he has not had time to do, and he has to go to the capital again, and this coming and going is estimated to be delayed for more than a month.

The key is to follow the team escorting the silver two and set off together, the speed cannot be very fast.

Fortunately, it is the autumn harvest season, so there will not be too many delays.

Before leaving, he carefully instructed the government affairs that needed to be handled, Lu Tianming focused on people's livelihood matters, Qu Qingze and Sun Yuankun focused on the affairs of the Inspection Department, and Liu Zhongji focused on public security matters.

Of course, the importance of going to the capital is self-evident, and he will not take it lightly.

What he didn't expect was that he followed him to the capital this time. There is also a heavyweight, that is, Wang Zhen, the eunuch of Nanjing.

Along the way, Wang Zhen had a good attitude, smiled, and often talked to Su Tiancheng, but Su Tiancheng was sensitive to it. In Wang Zhen's smile, there was always an indescribable feeling, and he had already figured out the deep meaning of this.

Dong Chang did not move with the large army, this old man is always mysterious.

As for the team escorting the silver two, it is the Shenji Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion of the Xijing Battalion in Nanjing.

There is another thing that has not been settled so far, that is, many firearms placed in the treasury of Jiangning County have not yet been owned. It's always been stored.

This is actually a good thing, if the emperor had an opinion on Jiangning County's approach, he would have dealt with it directly.

Therefore, along the way, Su Tiancheng was still in a good mood, entertaining Wang Zhen, joking and complimenting Wang Zhen from time to time. Confuse Wang Zhen to the maximum.

On 22 July, the army arrived in the city of Beijing.

During this period. A lot of things have happened, and it is impossible for Su Tiancheng, who is far away from the capital, to know the Dao.

The biggest thing is that Cao Huachun, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and the chief eunuch, changed his position, and on the sixth day of the seventh month, Cao Huachun was appointed as a lieutenant official. Admiral Jingying Rongzheng, Tang Wenzheng, the former Admiral Jingying, was deposed.

Wang Chengen served as the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and concurrently served as the eunuch of Bingbi.

On the surface, Cao Huachun's power seems to be greater, and he controls Jingying. In fact, there are profound reasons for the changes in the heart, and there are very few people who know the Tao.

To put it bluntly, in the contest between Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun was defeated, left the palace, and went to control the government of Jingying.

The biggest reliance of the eunuch is to rely on the emperor, be by the emperor's side all the time, grasp the emperor's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and be able to get the emperor's special attention. This is human nature, the emperor is also a human being, and he also hopes to have friends, especially in the Ninety-Five, the height is unbearable, and the only person who can confide in him is the eunuch.

Cao Huachun left the palace, and Su Tiancheng had a big reason.

The second big thing, Liu Yulie, the squire of the military department, was directly dismissed and thrown into prison because of the failure of the crusade against Kong Youde.

The third thing, the game between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren is getting more and more intense, Min Hongxue, the secretary of the ministry, and Chen Yuting, the imperial history of the left capital, both of them are implicated, Chen Yuting is Zhou Yanru's henchman, Min Hongxue is Wen Tiren's sworn friend, such a fierce game, I don't know what the outcome of Lu Dao will be.

When they arrived in the capital, Su Tiancheng and Wang Zhen both lived in the official post and waited for the emperor's summons.

In the evening, a man in black arrived at the official post and saw Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen didn't show up all night, and he didn't come out when he was eating.

Su Tiancheng wanted to take a look, but found that there was no light in Wang Zhen's room, so he didn't bother.

When approaching Zi, a man in black came to the official post and directly found Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng, who was in a daze, felt strange, after listening to what the person said, he was greatly surprised, he didn't feel much sleepy, he didn't think that he hadn't arrived in the capital yet, and there had been some changes in the palace.

No wonder Wang Zhen didn't eat in the afternoon, it turned out that his top boss and big backer Cao Huachun had already left the palace and went to Beijing to supervise the army.

On the twenty-third day, the hour of the year.

The eunuch in the palace came to the official post and informed Su Tiancheng that he would go to the Forbidden City immediately to meet the emperor.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but think nonsense, how could he meet the emperor so soon, according to the rules, he had to wait for at least three or five days, some prefects, and even political envoys, arrived in the capital and waited for almost a month before he could see the emperor, he was just the magistrate of the sixth grade, and Zhu Youzhen also attached too much importance to himself.

Although he earned silver for the imperial court, but the gold and silver treasures were transported to the capital, and there was nothing to do with himself, and the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge was too common in the officialdom.

Besides, the things that should be dealt with have been dealt with, Cao Huachun left the palace, and Wang Chengen became the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, the eunuch of Bingbi, and he was already the first person among the eunuchs.

Su Tiancheng was taken directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

This is the first time he has been to the Heart Cultivation Palace, of course, in his previous life, he had visited the Heart Cultivation Palace.

This is the place where the emperor summoned important ministers and offices, and he originally thought that he would see Zhu Youzhen in the Huangji Palace, but he actually arrived at the Yangxin Palace.

Su Tiancheng was even more worried.

I haven't really had any real contact with Zhu Youzhen, but when the officials of the palace examination were conferred, I saw Zhu Youzhen, but I barely said much, most of them were formalism. I only wrote two poems, and they didn't cause a special sensation.

As for the evaluation of history, Su Tiancheng doesn't believe it at all, scholars are harmful, and there are always those self-righteous historians who don't respect historical facts. Rely on your own preferences to evaluate history, besides, the history of the Ming Dynasty is notoriously unreliable.

Following the eunuch and entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Tiancheng knelt down honestly, without looking around, nor looking up at Zhu Youzhen, he was just arrogant. I also know that at this time, it is absolutely necessary to keep a low profile.

"Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Su Aiqing is flat."

Zhu Youzhen's voice is very soft, and it is very comfortable to listen to, these days, I am used to hearing Wang Zhen's duck throat, and suddenly I heard such a pleasant voice. Su Tiancheng felt very comfortable, and his mood was a little relaxed.

After standing up. Su Tiancheng still didn't look up.

"Sit down."

Soon a eunuch came over with a stool and placed it beside Su Tiancheng.

"Thank the emperor for sitting."

After some thanksgiving, Su Tiancheng was able to sit down, this is the etiquette of Honglu Temple education, I didn't expect to use it so quickly.

"Su Aiqing. There is one thing I don't understand, you raided Kuang Siming's mansion, and all the gold, silver and jewelry have been handed over to the state treasury, and it took a lot of effort. Don't you get nothing, don't you have complaints? ”

Su Tiancheng was very surprised, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Youzhen.

He was only about four meters away from Zhu Youzhen, and he could see it clearly.

Zhu Youzhen is still very young, no wonder, he is not yet twenty-two years old, and it is impossible for him to grow old. It's just that around Zhu Youzhen's eyes, there is a circle of black, which looks like panda eyes, which is obviously a lack of rest.

According to reason, Zhu Youzhen should greet whether he has worked hard along the way, talk about family life, and then ask about business, but without these processes, he directly entered the topic.

Zhu Youzhen is very straightforward, it can also be said that he is very anxious, when doing things, he hopes to see the effect in a short period of time, he doesn't like the formalism, and he doesn't like to play false.

This is the first impression that Su Tiancheng analyzed.

In that case, you have to be straightforward.

"The minister didn't dare to lie, he did have some complaints, he originally thought that the emperor would be able to leave some silver for Jiangning County, but who knew that all the roads were transported to the capital."

"Hehe, 25 million taels of silver, I don't dare to think about it, there are a lot of things that can be done, I have ordered the household department, immediately in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, to start disaster relief, you are indeed indispensable, can I cross the river and tear down the bridge, then you say, what do you want me to do?"

"The minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

"Then I'll tell you, do you want to keep those firearms?"

"The emperor is sympathetic to the minister, and that's what the minister thinks."

"Then you have to give me a reason, the Jiangning County Inspection Department is only 3,000 sergeants, although they used to be all great generals in the army, but there is a Beijing camp in Nanjing, and there is no problem with defense, what is the use of you asking for so many firearms."

"The minister thinks like this, good things, everyone wants, it's like saying that children, they all like to wear new clothes, the minister saw so many firearms, of course he wanted it in his heart, and the idea of a child seeing new clothes is similar, if it can be equipped with a sergeant from the Jiangning County Inspection Department, how majestic it should be, besides, these sergeants used to be Xiong Tingbi's personal soldiers, and their identity is also good, and they have been very aggrieved with the minister."

The smile on Zhu Youzhen's face was even more.

"Hehe, you are very honest, in front of me, willing to tell the truth, General Xiong's wife, you helped bury it, you put on linen and filial piety, sent away the old lady, did your best as a nephew, General Xiong's personal soldiers, follow you to serve, it is also right, you want to seek fame for them, there is affection and righteousness, I am also very optimistic about Lu. In that case, I will grant your request, but this firearm will be given to the Xijing camp in half, what do you think? ”

"Obey."
