After listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi nodded slowly, it is indeed a good idea to open a fu in Shanghai. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that no one has tried to invest in maritime trade, but the interference of those smuggling groups is difficult to succeed. It's a lot easier to start in a place where you don't have a foundation. If there is an example for other places, it is the general trend, and when the general trend is followed, the opposition will simply collapse.

"Your Majesty, Kaifu is a major matter, and it still needs to be discussed in the long run." Since Xu Guangqi has figured it out, he naturally will not object. For the benefits of opening the sea, Xu Guangqi is naturally very clear.

"Naturally, I won't be in a hurry! There are still a lot of things to prepare before Kaifu. The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "Xu Aiqing, do you think it is appropriate to preside over Kaifu, which minister in the court is appropriate?" ”

Xu Guangqi was not surprised at all by this question, for such a big event, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would naturally choose the candidate carefully. However, in Xu Guangqi's view, there is really no suitable candidate for the DPRK and China. After thinking about it, Xu Guangqi suddenly felt that he was the most suitable. Seeing the smile of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and recalling the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse just now, Xu Guangqi naturally understood.

"Your Majesty, the matter of opening the sea is very important, and it is a great event that will shine for a thousand years. Chen grew up in Shanghai, and is also very familiar with overseas affairs, and there are also some friends of foreigners. Xu Guangqi naturally understood, so he naturally didn't pretend to be confused, and said loudly.

Nodding with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with satisfaction: "Aiqing knows very well, this matter is none other than Aiqing. ”

Xu Guangqi has been an official abroad for many years, but the Xu family is still a family in Shanghai. Since Xu Guangqi served as a cabinet scholar. The Xu family is even more unique for a while, and it can be said that they have a very high status in Shanghai. What's more, among the officials of the Shanghai faction, the highest official position is Xu Guangqi, and his prestige is naturally not low.

Got things clear. The Emperor of the Apocalypse told Xu Guangqi some more things, and then left the firearms factory.

Since leaving the firearms factory, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has never left the palace again, preparing for the New Year in the palace. At the end of the year, although there were a lot of things, everything was smooth in Daming.

The treasury has been struggling to make ends meet again. The Emperor of the Apocalypse handed over the military expenses and other expenses to the treasury. If there is no silver in the treasury, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will allocate it from the inner treasury, and there will be no direct intervention from the inner treasury.

By December, it was already freezing in the capital, and heavy snow covered the land. At the gate of the city of Beijing, a group of soldiers arrived on horseback, and in front of these people, a young man sat on a horse. A mandarin duck battle armor looks heroic and extraordinary, and unlike the rest of the generals, this person's skin is jujube red.

"General. The city gates are closing, so let's go straight into the city! An adjutant general stepped up to the front and said respectfully to the general.

This person is none other than Xiong Wencan, who has just been transferred back to Beijing by the Emperor of the Apocalypse! After a period of training in Liaodong, Xiong Wencan calmed down a lot, and his eyes became introverted. However, at this time, Xiong Wencan's forehead carried a trace of worry. As the governor of Liaodong, he did a good job in Liaodong, and now the Emperor of the Apocalypse has transferred himself back with a holy decree.

After experiencing so many things before, Xiong Wencan even wondered if he had offended someone again. But now Xiong Wencan is a member of Sun Chengzong's faction, and there are a lot less difficulties, and this year and a half is his happiest day. The soldiers and horses of Liaodong are getting stronger and stronger, and they are full of joy.

Glancing at Lu Xiangsheng who was speaking, Xiong Wencan nodded slowly, with this junior brother of the emperor accompanying him into Beijing, he still had some bottom in his heart. The two men weren't saying anything. directly hit the horse into the capital.

"Feibai, should we go directly to the palace to see the emperor, or to Lord Sun's mansion?" Xiong Tingbi hesitated slightly, but still asked Lu Xiangsheng.

glanced at Xiong Tingbi helplessly, Lu Xiangsheng was still a little helpless. This bear still doesn't know how to be a man. However, he had long been accustomed to it, thought about it, and said: "Lord Xiong, the emperor is in a hurry to order us to enter Beijing, there must be a big matter, so naturally we have to go to the palace to hand over the decree." If you don't go to the palace, go to Lord Sun's mansion first, I'm afraid you will be suspected of forming a party for personal gain! ”

Xiong Tingbi naturally understood this truth, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, he didn't know what the Emperor of the Apocalypse was doing when he came back to him, so he wanted to go to Sun Chengzong to inquire about the news. But since Lu Xiangsheng said so, Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to nod.

Even if the two of them arrived at Sun's mansion, they probably wouldn't be able to see Sun Chengzong, who was in the palace at this time. By Sun Chengzong's side, there is another person, this person is the former Sichuan political envoy, the current Sichuan governor Zhu Xieyuan.

The last time Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan rebelled, Zhu Xieyuan showed extraordinary talents, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally would not let it grow moldy in Sichuan. Although he had already issued a holy decree announcing his entry into Beijing, he had just arrived today.

"Zhu Aiqing, can you go smoothly all the way?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhu Xieyuan and asked with a smile. This Zhu Xieyuan is also a capable person, and he was also very famous in the late Ming Dynasty. Historically, Zhu Xieyuan single-handedly assessed the rebellion of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan.

"Thank you for your concern, thank the emperor for your blessings, and everything will go well." Zhu Xieyuan is different from Xiong Tingbi, he knows that the Emperor of the Apocalypse must have another appointment for him, and he must have another important use. You have to know where you are in Sichuan, what place is worse than there?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had not yet come to say anything, Wang Chengen had already walked in from outside, respectfully saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said, "Your Majesty, the Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi and the deputy general Lu Xiangsheng are asking to see you outside!" ”

As soon as he heard the news, the Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I am still waiting for the news, but I didn't expect these two people to have arrived!" Let them in, and since they're here, that's just the way to tell the story. ”

When Wang Chengen went out, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Chen Hong on the side, and ordered with a smile: "Let the imperial dining room prepare meals, and I will chat with a few Aiqing while eating." ”

After a short time, Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng walked in under the leadership of Wang Chengen. Although the food in the imperial dining room was not yet ready, the tables were already set.

After sitting down according to the order, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said to Xiong Tingbi: "Xiong Aiqing, can everything go smoothly in Liaodong?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there is nothing to do in Liaodong now, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient. Now wait for the emperor's will, as soon as the emperor's will arrives, the minister will take people to sweep away Jiannu. This is Xiong Tingbi's ideal, and three sentences are inseparable.

Smiled and waved his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said very happily: "Okay, Aiqing has courage and courage to do things, not bad." I believe that this day will not be too far away, and there will be a place for Aiqing to come into play. ”

The next banquet was very lively, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not have the slightest shelf, and talked about it lively, while asking about the affairs of Liaodong and Sichuan. Xiong Tingbi, who originally liked to drink the most, still didn't drink too much because of the ups and downs in his heart, let alone a few other people.

After the banquet, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "Sir, has the Military Aircraft Department already drawn up the will?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I have already prepared it, and it has been sent to the celebrant for approval!" Sun Chengzong had already prepared and said with a smile.

"Chen Hong, let's make a decree!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Chen Hong, who was holding the holy decree in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and commanded.

Chen Hong didn't dare to slack off, unfolded the holy decree, and read it loudly: "The right attendant of the military department, the general of the dragon and tiger, and the governor of Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi, receive the decree!" ”

"Minister Xiong Tingbi received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Unexpectedly, the first one was himself, Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, waiting for the holy decree to be read.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Xiong Tingbi, the general of the dragon and tiger, guarded Liaodong, worked hard and made great achievements, and I was very relieved. Reward and punishment, Ming Jun's deeds are also, and I will not hesitate to reward. Enter Xiong Tingbi as the left squire of the military department, the hussar general, the governor of the five armies, and the governor of the Beijing camp! Chin this! After Chen Hong finished reading it, he put the holy decree together and handed it to Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi was very puzzled in his heart, he was promoted, this is for sure. It's just that I didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to let me come back to take charge of the Beijing camp, I really didn't expect this. didn't dare to have the slightest delay, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Minister Xiong Tingbi received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When Xiong Tingbi stepped aside, Chen Hong picked up another copy of the recital and said, "Right Jiandu Yushi, Zishan Doctor, and Sichuan Governor Zhu Xieyuan received the order!" ”

"Minister Zhu Xieyuan received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhu Xieyuan also knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, guarded Sichuan, patrolled the frontier, and the king of cloth turned into a barbarian land, and worked hard. Enter the senior doctor, the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of Liaodong, Qin this! Chen Hong handed over the holy decree to Zhu Xieyuan again, waiting for Zhu Xieyuan to receive the decree.

Zhu Xieyuan's face suddenly showed joy, and he left Sichuan, but he didn't expect it to be the governor of Liaodong. This is Xiong Tingbi's official position in the past, and he can also show his skills!

"General Huaiyuan Lu Xiangsheng takes the order!" After taking out the last holy decree, Chen Hong unfolded it and read it out.

"Minister Lu Xiangsheng received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lu Xiangsheng also knelt on the ground, and he was also going to be promoted! However, Lu Xiangsheng knew that he would definitely not be like those two people.

"Huaiyuan General Lu Xiangsheng, went deep into Liaodong, repeatedly made military exploits, and I was very relieved. Now Lu Xiang has been promoted to General Zhaoyong, the right attendant of the military department, and is in charge of the Beijing camp! Chen Hong once again handed over the holy decree to Lu Xiangsheng, and then bowed and stood aside.

"Minister Lu Xiangsheng thanks Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Sun Chengzong, who was on the side, breathed a sigh of relief on his face after seeing the holy decree read, as if he had unloaded a burden and was much more relaxed.
