Chapter 398: The Dispute Between Civil and Military (2)
"Whew!"
As soon as Tang Ming's words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of the wind in his ears, and before he could make any reaction, he saw a thick slap whistling from the corner of his eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Smack!"
Tang Ming, whose head was tilted and tilted, did not wait for him to feel the pain, and the bell-like broken voice of the culprit Zhang Yu had already sounded in his ears: "You kid dare to say that you can't help, his grandmother is a bear, is it itchy and underweight!" ”
Zhang Yu's attack was too sudden, and when several old men around him could be seen, it was too late to stop him. Everyone looked at Tang Ming nervously, for fear that he would not help when he was angry.
Tang Ming was indeed very angry when he first came back to his senses, but when he was angry, he suddenly felt helpless. In the end, he was beaten in vain, even if he was really innocent, he couldn't beat Zhang Yu back as an old man. Shaking his head with a wry smile, Tang Ming finally felt that there was no need to raise the bar with these old men again, otherwise he would suffer in the end.
These old men are not like those old pedants, who have a fiery temper honed on the battlefield, so they will not talk to you about the rules of a gentleman who does not do anything. Xiucai can't tell if he meets Bing, this is Tang Ming's personal experience at this moment. He adjusted his mentality, lowered his posture and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then, since you think that the kid can help a lot, the kid is still quite happy to tell me what you need me to do." But let's say first that we are not allowed to do it again, if anyone dares to do it to me, I will immediately turn around and leave, his grandmother is a bear! ”
Zhang Yu was just in a hurry just now, and he gave Tang Ming a slap on the back of the head without holding it for a while, but fortunately, he withdrew most of his strength at the last moment, otherwise even if Tang Ming didn't faint, he would definitely not be able to sit here and talk about helping.
Under the eyes of everyone complaining, Zhang Yu honestly left Tang Ming ten steps away, and Huang Fu, a peacemaker, would go out again, he simply moved a stool and sat beside Tang Ming, and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone knows that you can help a lot, so I waited for you for two days early, and the emperor called you here this time not for anything else, that is, when the capital was moved, the emperor was going to hold a big military parade, and you were likely to be entrusted with important tasks." There is no easy battle in these peaceful days, and this military parade is the best opportunity for our military attaché family to perform, and it is related to whether our military attaché can turn over and regain the power that our military generals deserve. ”
Tang Ming tightened his eyebrows, he thought that coming back this time would definitely not be too troublesome, but the truth was the opposite. He was in trouble as soon as he set foot on the land of Nanjing, and to be honest, Tang Ming never thought that he would participate in these court battles. This is also something that Yao Guangxiao has been reminding him of, but now it seems that he can't avoid it anymore, and there is always a time when he gets wet when he walks by the river.
Since it has reached the time when there is no escape, the only choice is to face it. Looking up at the dozen or so old men in the room, more than a dozen pairs of expectant eyes staring directly at him, Tang Ming nodded solemnly to him and said, "I take this matter to heart, and we will discuss specific matters after I meet the emperor!" ”
Huang Fu said to Tang Ming on behalf of everyone: "Then we won't delay you to see the emperor, the carriage is outside the house." I'm waiting for you at your Gaochun Manor tonight, go and come back quickly! ”
After Tang Ming clasped his fists and saluted the old men, he turned around and got into the carriage without looking back, and galloped away.
In the imperial study, Zhu Di was sitting firmly on his dragon chair, his face was ruddy, and he could see that there seemed to be a happy event recently, and he was listening to his grandfather Sun who had just come back, talking about Tang Ming's Ryukyu affairs. In fact, there is a hidden mission for Sun Gonggong to go to Ryukyu Island this time, which is to check everything on Ryukyu Island in the Tang Ming Dynasty.
Neither the fleet nor the soldiers exceeded Zhu Di's bottom line, according to what Sun Gonggong said, Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island is still a serious but human island. Although the infrastructure is well built, there is a shortage of craftsmen, farmers, and in short, a serious shortage of people, and more than half of the entire Ryukyu Island is still uncultivated.
Zhu Di nodded comfortingly, waved his hand to let Grandpa Sun retreat, and when the door was closed, Zhu Di got up and left the dragon chair, came to the window and looked at the blue sky outside the window.
It has been almost a year since the queen's death, and sometimes when Zhu Di is alone, he still often thinks of things with the queen when he was young. So much so that Zhu Di has not set up a queen again, and one of his concubines has complained about this, but Zhu Di has never let go, and the queen has been vacant until now.
People, generally only when they are old, will often recall the past, Zhu Di also deeply touched this, he knows that he is getting older and older. As the emperor, he also could not escape the ruthless invasion of time, the more he sensed that he was old, the more anxious Zhu Di wanted to realize his wish in his lifetime, and moving the capital to Beiping was the biggest one of all his wishes.
The imperial city of Beiping will be completed next year, and the relocation of the capital is also imminent, and Zheng He will bring envoys from foreign countries to worship, and the strong national strength and strong military strength must be reflected. And these can be well reflected in a big military parade to all the foreign envoys who come to worship in the Ming Dynasty.
The importance of the military parade also caused Zhu Di to think for a long time, who to let preside over such a military parade, Zhu Di, the minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, screened them one by one, but none of them he felt were competent. Originally, Yao Guangxiao was still a good candidate, but he had already followed Zheng He to India.
After thinking hard, Zhu Di finally remembered Tang Ming, but to hand over such a heavy task to him, Zhu Di was not so confident in his heart, but from the current point of view, he had no one else except Tang Ming, who was a good candidate.
When Zhu Di was pondering, Tang Ming knocked on the door of the imperial study, Zhu Di withdrew his unfocused eyes and slowly returned to the dragon chair and sat down before he spoke: "Come in!" ”
The door was opened, Tang Ming quickly walked in sideways, and when he turned around after closing the door, he saw Zhu Di sitting firmly on the dragon chair. He didn't want to kneel down immediately and shout long live!
"Get up and find yourself a place to sit." While speaking, Zhu Di picked up the Longjing tea on the dragon case at just the right temperature and drank it slowly.
Tang Ming took advantage of the time to sit down, quickly glanced at Zhu Di's expression, and saw that everything was normal, and his heart was a little calm. As soon as his butt touched the chair, he heard Zhu Di suddenly ask: "What did you gain from the trip to the island country?" (To be continued.) )
