"Sincerely, St. Ann!"

"St. Ann!" The middle-aged eunuch said: "Your Majesty's dictation, Tang Shen is preparing for military affairs, and you must be careful and pay attention to live up to my expectations." ”

Among the jinshi in each department, except for the expatriate assignment, the jinshi who remained in the capital did not immediately dispatch the actual affairs, but first had to study the administration to adapt to the transition from candidates to officials, and then confer official positions based on their performance.

It can be said that this is a very good measure set by Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, Shu Jishi is also a kind of political advancement, but because he entered the Hanlin Academy, as the future minister, it is more important and prominent

But no matter what, no Jinshi went to the two yamen to watch the government, and the candles burned at both ends, isn't this fatal! Tang Yi got up and took out two silver tickets of five hundred taels and stuffed them into the hands of the eunuch. The other party glanced at it, and suddenly became smiling.

"Ask my father-in-law, why did my father go to the two yamen?"

"This ...... Hehe, it's not that the master values Lord Tang, I heard that the Lord should go to the southeast to manage the army and money, so I first experienced it in the capital, knew the difficulties of the imperial court, and then went to the local level, it was easy to do things. ”

"Then ask my father-in-law, how should these two yamen be arranged?"

The eunuch smiled: "This depends on Lord Tang's own thoughts, either half a day to go to the military department, half a day to the household department, or to a place every other day, in short, Your Majesty is to let the adults learn a little more skills." ”

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, and also understood Jiajing's intentions, and casually took out another thing and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice, and be closer in the future."

The eunuch glanced at the things in his hand, and his eyes suddenly widened.

I saw that Tang Yi gave him a pale yellow transparent object the size of a thumb, and there was a fly in the middle, which was vivid. It is a piece of amber, and it is also an extremely valuable insect pearl, the eunuch who passed the decree usually likes to play with it, but he has never obtained the insect pearl, and when he saw it today, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you, Lord Tang, for the reward. Our Feng Bao is doing things in the Qianqing Palace, if there is a useful place, you can give orders. ”

Tang Yi said a few polite words and sent Feng Bao away.

Standing at the door, Tang Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect to meet Zhang Juzheng's hardcore ally in the future, Feng Bao, the chief of the inner part of one of the Iron Triangle, I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to climb to the peak of eunuchs!

……

sighed twice. Tang Yi returned to the courtyard, only to find his father holding his head in pain, sighing.

"Hey, the household department and the military department are running at both ends, and I have to write the strategy of practicing the township bravery, it won't be long before my old bones are ready to fall apart, and I won't let people live!"

Tang Yi rolled his eyes. The heart said that I want to be busy and have nothing to do!

"Dad, you're only in your thirties. It's the best time for men, what to shout tired? Besides, you are only tired in the capital for a few months and will be released, and when you take office in Zhedong, the person who should be tired is your son. ”

"It's really like that, your dad can know what to do on paper." Tang Shen suddenly felt better and cheered up.

The next day, I went to the military headquarters first. Then he went to the household department, according to what Tang Yi told him, with only a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, and he didn't say what he shouldn't say, and he didn't say what he should say. Just familiarize yourself with the rules of the yamen.

In the evening, he discussed with Tang Yi the matters of the preparation and training of the township braves, from selection, to training, to conscription for combat, rewarding combat merits, and caring for the wounded, everything that could be involved was worked out.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye into May, the capital is gradually getting hotter, and somehow, there is not a drop of rain, the seeds planted are not rising, even if they germinate, they are also half dead, look at this, this year I am afraid that the yield will be reduced again, and even the harvest may be lost.

Emperor Jiajing hid in Yuxi Palace, and in the name of respecting heaven and cultivating virtue, praying for the blessings of the people, in fact, it was to evade responsibility and hand over the mess to the cabinet, saving trouble.

Xu Jie was hit hard because of Yang Jisheng's case, although he served as the chief examiner and recovered some of the decline, he was still alone, and the power of the cabinet fell into the hands of Yan Song, and the responsibility also fell on the shoulders of Yan Gelao. He had no choice but to send his henchman Wu Peng to Xuzhou and other places for disaster relief. The rest is to look at the steamed buns for the days, count, count, and hope that God can do a good job and rain a little bit......

It is really sad and lamentable, that the prime minister of the dignified empire has fallen to this point.

Perhaps Yan Ge's prayer worked, or perhaps God really cherished the poor people, but there was a drizzle in the sky, and as the rain came, unexpected disasters also came......

……

The rain came, the summer heat and dryness were swept away, a few days ago, because he couldn't stand the dryness of the north, Tang Yi's throat had been uncomfortable, but at this time it was a lot better, drinking chrysanthemum tea to moisten the lungs, there was a different taste.

A few days ago, the military training minutes co-authored by the two men were dedicated to Jiajing, adhering to the consistent style of the Tang family, and the text alone was written 1670,000 words, and there were also a lot of statistics from the military department and the locality, which were detailed and accurate, and were deeply appreciated by Jiajing.

Tang Yi estimated that it would not be long before the two of them would be able to return to Jiangnan again, and help his father open up the situation in eastern Zhejiang, Tang Yi was ready to concentrate on the eight-share article, pass all the way, and strive to be named on the gold list after three years.

Speaking of which, my father was admitted to the Jinshi, Tang Yi didn't envy it, it was a lie.

"I don't know if it's better to start a business first, or start a family first?" As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yueying's upside-down appearance kept flashing in front of Tang Yi. During this time, the two of them kept exchanging letters, and they became more and more evil, Tang Yi felt that he was poisoned, but he was willing......

"When I get to Zhejiang, let my dad find my uncle to make an appointment with my family!" Tang Yi thought so.

At this moment, suddenly footsteps sounded, the courtyard door was pushed open, and two scarred guys covered in mud and water ran in from outside, and when they saw Tang Yi, they fell to their knees.

"Young master, our master and servant almost won't see each other!" After saying that, he grinned and began to cry.

Tang Yi stood up suddenly and hurriedly ran over, these two were Xu San and Shen Lin.

It turned out that Tang Yi was going back to the south, so he thought about preparing some gifts for Wang Yueying, and when he visited Imperial Doctor Li, he asked for a prescription for ginseng Rongxue pills. It is said that if a woman takes it regularly, she can change her hair with glory, avoid all diseases, and make her skin like snow. When Tang Yi heard this, his heart immediately warmed.

The main medicine is ginseng, and Tang Yi can't pull away. I could only send Shen Lin and Xu San to Guanwai to buy some ginseng with enough years, and buy some fine fur and pine nuts and other things.

The silver given by Tang Yi was very sufficient, and the two of them didn't think much about it, they just thought they were going to visit outside the customs, and they were all excited. With a total of four bodyguards, he left Shanhaiguan and went to Quang Ninh.

They went through the purchase of things and bought themselves a lot of goodies. For example, Shen Lin got a large jar of purple linden honey, and Xu San bought three extra-large deer antler velvets, ready to replenish his vitality and run rampant in Gentle Township.

The two goods swaggered back, and just arrived at Huairou, when suddenly the cavalry from the north protruded, tens of thousands, overwhelming. They tried their best to escape, but they still fell into each other's hands.

Buy ginseng mink. Shen Lin's honey, Xu San's deer antlers, and the silver on their bodies were all swept away. Two of the four bodyguards died, and the remaining two were captured and used as coolies.

Originally, the Mongols didn't want to let go of Xu San and Shen Lin, but Xu San was shrewd enough, he told the Mongols. said that Shen Lin was his little young master, and the Shen family had money, and he was willing to go home and bring 10,000 taels of silver, plus 1,000 stone of grain in exchange for the little young master.

When the Mongols heard this, they counted with their fingers. Seems profitable.

"Tell you, Nanbanzi, if we don't come back, we'll chop this kid up, just to taste the tender meat!"

Shen Lin was so frightened that goosebumps straightened all over his body, and he could only stare at Xu San with teary eyes, Xu San stomped his feet fiercely and left the Mongolian camp. However, he did not run away, but endured it outside until midnight, when he happened to meet a Mongolian sentry who came out to pee. He killed the other party, changed into the clothes of the Mongols, sneaked into the camp, and rescued Shen Lin.

Leaving the camp, the two of them ran all the way, and finally escaped back to the capital and saved their lives.

"Young master, Mongolian Tatars are livestock, they want to eat people!" Shen Lin couldn't hold back his tears and gritted his teeth, "Mongolian Tatars, you wait, the little master won't let you go when he grows up!" ”

Xu San's face was ashamed, and he said: "Young master, the little one is incompetent, everything is lost, I ......"

"If you lose it, you lose it!" Tang Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "People are better than anything else, you guys hurry up and wash up." ”

……

After sending the two of them away, Tang Yi only felt a feeling of suffocation and pressed him. It was as if a big hand was grabbing the capital, and he wanted to crush all the prosperity in front of him.

The only one who can give him this feeling is the Mongolian Altan Khan, that is, Altan Khan!

For more than ten years, Altan Khan's iron hooves have continued to break through the front line of the Great Wall, looting and burning again and again, and treating the Ming Dynasty as nothing. And this time, I invaded again, but Tang Yi was a little confused.

Traditionally, the Mongols have looted supplies after autumn for the New Year, but now that it has just arrived in summer, why did I suddenly kill him, and what did he plan to do?

It is not only Tang Yi who also has doubts, but also Emperor Jiajing, who is in retreat and penance.

Jiajing has been in retreat for half a month, and he has been worried for half a month.

In fact, he is more familiar with the situation of the household than anyone else, and he can't take out a tael of silver, and he is also short of money, and there is no money to let you be the most powerful emperor, and there is no way.

He can only hope that Xia Shui will come up and solve the current gap.

Jiajing tried to hide, but after all, there was a time when he couldn't hide, it suddenly rained on this day, Jiajing happily went out, and Mai Fu was even more considerate, and prepared Jiajing's favorite vegetarian dumplings.

"If you don't say that the emperor is a fairy body, God will help you, seeing the emperor suffering in retreat, the heavens can't stand it, no, God is crying!"

God cried, and Jiajing smiled.

"You old dog, you can just say nice things, I can eat a few dumplings."

Jiajing just picked up a dumpling, bit half of it, and didn't swallow it yet. The big eunuch Yuan Heng ran in from outside in a panic, his face pale.

"Lord, Lord, Lord......"

Jiajing slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "You are a pig, say!" The sky can't fall! ”

"Master, it's not good, I have led the army to kill from Gubeikou!"

With a bang, the chopsticks in Jiajing's hand fell to the ground, completely unaware of ...... (To be continued.) )
