Lu Daqi hurriedly said: "How embarrassing is this." ”

Wang Pu said: "What's embarrassing, it's not for you, it's for you, it's for you, and it will be repaid in the future." ”

"No, no." Lu Daqi said, "It's really not good." ”

When there was really a dispute, Lu Liu suddenly hurried into the Wenhua Hall and shouted happily: "Old Sun Ge, Master Hou, it's born!" ”

Wang Pu frowned and said, "What is raw and cooked?" ”

Lu Liudao: "Mrs. Xiaowan was born, it's a boy!" ”

"What!?" Sun Chuanting was overjoyed when he heard this, "Is it really a boy?" ”

Wang Pu said unhappily: "Old man Sun, what are you happy about, and you are not your son." ”

"Go." Sun Chuanting slapped Wang Pu's head honestly and unceremoniously, and said angrily, "You kid has to count when he speaks, that's the eldest son and eldest grandson of our old Sun family, hehe, the old man has to take a look." ”

After that, Sun Chuanting had already rushed out of the Wenhua Hall in a puff of smoke.

Wang Pu was dumbfounded, and then remembered that there was an agreement between him and Sun Chuanting, that he had to pass on his second son to the Sun family to inherit the incense, and that Xiao Wan's son would have to be surnamed Sun in the future, but not Wang.

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi also stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, congratulations." ”

■■■

At the beginning of the night, the Jingnan Hou Mansion was lit up, and there was a joy up and down.

Dong Xiaowan's wing room is even more Yingying Yanyan, gathered a large group of stunning beauties, Chen Yuanyuan, Li Shiniang, Li Xiangjun, Gu Mei, Kou Baimen, Liu Ruyi, and Nenniang are all there, except for Bian Yujing, Qin Huai Bayan is all together, Hanxiu Zhai's bustard mother Chen Damiang is holding the newborn baby in her arms, and said to Dong Xiaowan diligently: "Wan'er, look, Xiao Maotou is smiling, he is smiling at you, what a cute little Maotou." ”

Dong Xiaowan looked at the baby in the crook of Mrs. Chen's arm, and her slightly pale face was full of the brilliance of maternal love.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, are you okay?"

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Wang Pu strode into the room.

Seeing Dong Xiaowan with a pale look on the bed, Wang Pu felt a trace of guilt in his heart, stepped forward and sat down next to the edge of the bed, reached out and grabbed Dong Xiaowan's cold little hand, Chen Yuanyuan waved his hand to the girls, and the girls withdrew from the wing room very interestingly, leaving the space to Dong Xiaowan and Wang Pu.

"Wan'er." Wang Pu stared at Dong Xiaowan affectionately, and said softly, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Dong Xiaowan looked at Wang Pu affectionately and shook her head softly.

Wang Pu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I didn't accompany you when you needed it most." ”

"No, don't say that." Dong Xiaowan hurriedly stretched out her little hand and stroked Wang Pu's lips, and said softly, "Wan'er is already very content to have a good husband like Xianggong, and to be able to give birth to Lin'er for Xianggong." ”

"Wan'er."

Wang Pu hugged Dong Xiaowan emotionally.

Outside the wing room, Sun Chuanting couldn't wait to take the baby from Aunt Chen's hand, and said happily: "Let the old man see, let the old man take a look." ”

Aunt Chen gently pulled the baby's swaddling clothes apart, pointed at the little ** and said with a smile: "Old Sun Ge, you look carefully, it's a little boy." ”

"Hey, hey, it's a brat, what a brat."

Sun Chuanting carefully held the baby, like holding an incomparably precious piece of jade, paced back and forth a few steps, and hurriedly said: "The old man has to name the child, what should he name?" Well...... This is the eldest grandson of our Sun family, and it is the inheritance generation, I hope that this kid can inherit the ancestral family when he grows up, so he will be called Sun Chengzu. ”

"Congratulations to the elder pavilion."

"Elder Hexige."

Aunt Chen, Aunt Li and a group of servants stepped forward to congratulate her, Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Reward, hurry up and reward, everyone in the mansion will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." ”

"Thank you, Elder."

A group of servants thanked each other and smiled so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

Half a month later, that is, on May 20 of the first year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou were auctioned off at the public auction of the Yamen of Nanjing's household department.

At the same time, Wang Pu's reform of the Ming bureaucracy also officially kicked off, and the first step was to first abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Thirteen Provinces of Supervision and Imperial History, and the Six Departments of the Imperial Bureau, these constitutional officials and yamen!

At the beginning, Emperor Hongwu set up the Imperial Procuratorate, the Thirteen Departments to supervise the imperial history and the six departments of the original intention of these constitutional ministers and yamen was to supervise officials and put an end to [***], Emperor Hongwu's starting point was good, but the results were not satisfactory, the establishment of these institutions not only failed to play the function of supervising officials, but because of excessive power, it seriously interfered with the normal operation of the government, so that the officialdom became a ragged style, and the efficiency was extremely low.

In order to supervise the Xianchen Yamen, Emperor Hongwu was forced to set up the Jinyi Guard, in order to supervise the Jinyi Guard, Emperor Hongwu set up the East Factory, in order to balance the East Factory, and set up the West Factory, and finally had to set up the Inner Factory, which formed a huge supervision body unique to the Ming Dynasty!

After the fall of Yanjing and Chongzhen's hanging, the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Inner Factory have existed in name only, and as for Jinyiwei, it has already become the pension yamen of the nobles, and it doesn't matter whether it is cut or not, only the three tumors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Thirteen Provinces of Supervision and the Imperial History, and the Six Departments are still stubbornly surviving, and they are still seriously interfering with the government.

The abolition of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Thirteen Inspectorates and the Six Divisions was only the first step, and then Wang Pu had to carry out further reforms to the six-ministry cabinet system, and finally form a perfect cabinet system, legally hollowing out the emperor's power and making it a symbol of the empire rather than the actual ruler.

However, it is still too early to consider this, and Wang Pu knows that speed will not reach this truth.

■■■

The 200 students of the first foreign language crash course of Yangming University have already followed Zhen Youcai to the Jiande Arsenal, along with Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi and 36 foreign academicians of the Academy of Military Sciences.

Half a year later, the Jiande Arsenal must be able to produce rifles and cannons with iron machine tools!

■■■

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is September of the first year of Longwu.

Nanjing, the governor of the five provinces

When Wang Pu was lying on the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, a light footstep suddenly woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, it was Li Xiangjun who walked in with broken steps, Li Xiangjun was petite and exquisite, with a pale complexion, and exquisite facial features as if they were carved out of jade.

Li Xiangjun walked up to Wang Pu, saluted with a military salute, and said: "Master Hou, the first batch of cadets of the Nanjing Army Military University will officially graduate, and the graduation ceremony will be held in half an hour. ”

"Heh......"

Wang Pu stretched his waist for a long time, sniffed the faint fragrance coming from Li Xiangjun's body vigorously, and asked, "In addition to the graduation ceremony of the Nanjing Army Military University, what are the arrangements for the afternoon?" ”

Li Xiangjun said: "At three o'clock in the afternoon, Master Hou will go to the Yanziji Camp to inspect the 10th Battalion of the Central Army. ”

The Central Army has abolished the 12-hour timekeeping system and adopted a more scientific 24-hour timekeeping system, and at the same time purchased a number of clocks and watches from the West, and all officers of the Central Army at and above the rank of captain are equipped with pocket watches.

Wang Pu said again: "Then what? ”

Li Xiangjun said: "At seven o'clock in the evening, Hou Ye will attend the officers' dinner in the Wonderland. ”

Wang Pu smiled, and then reached out without warning to hug Li Xiangjun's slender waist, Li Xiangjun slumped and sat on Wang Pu's lap, his tight buttocks just pressed on Wang Pu's lower abdomen, Li Xiangjun twisted his waist unbearably, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou don't, if Sister and Sister Qingyan are outside, and in half an hour, the graduation ceremony of the Army Military University will begin." ”

Wang Pu put his head on Li Xiangjun's bulging chest and sniffed vigorously, only to feel the fragrance and refreshment, so he chuckled twice and let go of his hands with satisfaction.

Li Xiangjun hurriedly stood up from Wang Pu's lap, pulled the military uniform on his body and used his slender jade fingers to straighten the slightly scattered hair on his cheeks, the eyes revealed in his beautiful eyes were really delicate and charming, Wang Pu couldn't help but move his index finger, if he didn't have to rush to Nanjing Army Military University to attend the graduation ceremony, he really wanted to correct this little girl on the spot.

"Master Hou, your hat."

Li Xiangjun picked up the governor's top hat on the case and handed it to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu took the top hat and buckled it on his head, and Li Xiangjun had already taken the governor's dress from the hanger and draped it on Wang Pu.

When Li Xiangjun was buttoning Wang Pu's dress, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, and the intelligence secretary Liu Qingyan had already twisted his waist and swung his hips and walked in, first throwing an extremely ambiguous glance at Wang Pu, and then said with a smile: "Sister Xiangjun, my sister disturbed you and Hou Ye's affection, you won't blame your sister, right?" ”

Li Xiangjun's face was tender, where could he withstand the ridicule of Liu Qingyan, the demon girl, and immediately ran away with a blushing face.

Wang Pu's scorching gaze moved on Liu Qingyan's plump delicate body, and finally landed on the round and fat buttocks, and he couldn't help but think of the seductive scenery in the deep groin, as well as the charm of this demon girl when she was tactfully happy under her crotch, and couldn't help but laugh evilly: "The ass is itchy again, isn't it?" ”

Liu Qingyan glanced at Wang Pu charmingly, and said angrily: "Yes, the slave family is itchy all over his body." ”

Wang Pu stepped forward and hugged Liu Qingyan, slapped her buttocks hard, and stroked it gently, stroking while stroking: "Scratch your hooves, see how I clean you up at night." ”

Liu Qingyan let Wang Pu's hands be thin on his body, and gasped in a low voice: "Master Hou, Jiannu has moved." ”

"Oh?" Wang Pu was raging with his hands and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Liu Qingyan said: "At the beginning of spring, the Mongolian cavalry and Jiannu wantonly burned and looted in Beizhi, Beizhili ten rooms and nine empty, and the entrance of the Holy Sect was almost destroyed, and it took a lot of trouble for the slave family to get the news from Shanxi, about ten days ago, the Mongolian cavalry had already entered the pass from Xuanfu and Datong!" ”

Wang Pu's face suddenly became solemn, and he asked, "How many cavalry are there?" ”

Liu Qingyan said: "The Holy Sect's entrance to the hall in Shanxi has also been seriously damaged, so the specific strength of the Mongolian cavalry is not sure for the time being, but at least it will not be less than 100,000!" ”

"100,000 rides?" Wang Pu said in a deep voice, "It seems that Jiannu is preparing to make a big move this time." ”

After thinking about it, Wang Pu asked again: "Zhang Xianzhong from Sichuan, Li Zicheng from Shaanxi, and Wu Sangui from Shanxi have any recent changes?" ”

Liu Qingyan shook his head and said: "The famine in Shaanxi has not been alleviated, and Li Zicheng is afraid of Wu Sangui, so he doesn't dare to act rashly at all, but Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan has suppressed the resistance of various prefectures, and is now gathering troops to Hanzhong Mansion. ”

Wang Pu frowned and said: "Although Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have not dealt with each other, but after all, the two of them have the same root and the same origin, and they still know the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold, at this juncture, Zhang Xianzhong should not go to Li Zicheng's trouble, therefore, the biggest possibility is to attack Huguang to the east, and he must immediately report the news to Zhao Xin, so that he can take precautions in advance!" ”

Liu Qingyan blinked her beautiful eyes, and suddenly asked, "Master Hou, do you say that Jiannu will go south this time, or will he go west to fight Li Zicheng?" ”

Wang Pu said: "Dolgon is not a stupid person, he can't repeat the mistakes of the past and attack Shaanxi again, so this time Jiannu will definitely go south, if I am not mistaken, Dolgon must be thinking of finishing his work in one battle, and fighting a fateful strategic decisive battle with the Central Army in Shandong!" ”

Liu Qingyan said: "But the decisive battle at the beginning of this year Jiannu did not get the slightest bargain, and Jiannu really dared to go south?" ”

Wang Pu shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate Jiannu, although the Central Army of the Battle of Liaocheng at the beginning of the year eliminated a lot of enemy troops, but they were all the former Ming Army, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Korea, and they were not Jiannu's elite troops at all, and at the beginning of the year, Jiang Jian, Wang Chengyin, and Tang Tong were threatening Jiannu, which made Dolgon have scruples, so he failed to exert all his strength, but now it is different from the beginning of the year, and now the rear of Jiannu is stable, and there are no worries......"

"That's not right!" Before Wang Pu finished speaking, a pleasant voice suddenly came in, and then Liu Ru is slender shadow had already walked in, and said in a coquettish voice, "Master Hou, Jiannu had worries at the beginning of the year, and Jiannu also had worries this time!" ”

Wang Pu's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean ......"

Liu Ru smiled and said: "When the Central Army and the Jiannu army confront each other in Shandong, Hou Ye only needs to send General Shi Lang's 5,000 water division to seriously threaten Jiannu's Liaodong nest, and then Jiannu will still fall into a dilemma. ”

Wang Pu frowned and said: "But if you have thought about it, if you lose the support of Shi Lang's 5,000 sailors, and only rely on Huang Degong's 3,000 Nanjing sailors, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the canal channel, once the canal channel is cut off by Jiannu, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
