Chapter 531: Pace

Looking at Xu Guangqi, who was a little helpless, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slowly, muttered slightly, and said, "Xu Aiqing, there are two shipyards under construction in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula and Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula. I allowed Aiqing to transfer manpower from all parts of the imperial court, and I must build the shipyards in these two places as soon as possible. As for how to do it and what kind of warship to build, Aiqing can grasp it herself. ”

Contrary to the expectations of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi's face showed a happy look, but he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the minister is thinking about it?" ”

Slightly stunned, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't expect Xu Guangqi to say this, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse also knew that Xu Guangqi must have something unspeakable, so he said: "If Aiqing has any difficulties, just say it, I will not embarrass Aiqing." ”

Xu Guangqi sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, whether it is to build warships or firearms, it costs a lot. Now that the treasury has just improved a little, does the minister think that it will be built in two years? ”

Although Xu Guangqi's words were very euphemistic, the Emperor of the Apocalypse understood what Xu Guangqi meant. The Ming Dynasty had no money, or the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no money, and Xu Guangqi was really worried that the imperial court would not be able to afford such a large-scale construction.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, don't worry about money, I will never miss you a penny, this matter is very important, Aiqing must implement it well." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers must do their best!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said this, Xu Guangqi naturally didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and saluted respectfully.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse swept over everyone's faces with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "You Aiqing, it is related to the future and future of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that all Aiqing will work together and not let me down." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will do their best!" Several people hurriedly bowed and saluted, and under the signal of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, they turned around and walked out of the palace.

Looking at the figure of everyone walking out, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stretched his waist, with a bit of expectation on his face. It's been three years since the apocalypse, and I hope there won't be any problems with my arrangement!

In the following time, the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty began to run rapidly, and the most intuitive thing was the huge project on the outskirts of the city. Both the people and the officials were all talking about this matter, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse established the National Military Supervisor.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty had a national eunuch, which was the school of civil officials in this era, although many children of martial arts families also studied there, but it was a career path. Now that the National Military Supervisor has been established, everyone can see the Emperor's martial heart. This has given many martial artists hope, and at the same time, many people are also eager to try. This storm of martial arts, as the news spread, soon spread to the whole country.

The establishment of the military aircraft department is to let many people who hold military power see hope, although there are only a few princes of the country, but the emperor of the apocalypse has passed the word, and the generals will have the qualifications to enter the military aircraft department in the future. In addition, all the military generals from all over the country were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department, and although the time was short, the military attaches also saw hope.

The status of military generals began to rise, and although the civilian officials did not want to see it, the generals were indeed very happy. Although this is just the beginning, many people believe that with the passage of time, the situation of strong and weak will definitely change.

Although the civil officials had a lot of complaints, they did not play a big role, and although a few people wrote to impeach, they were all imprisoned by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Of course, it is not the crime of impeachment, but other crimes, and Jin Yiwei and Dongchang also played a great role.

There are also many literati in the DPRK and China, and there are really some who have no handle, although there are very few such people, but there are still a few in the end. This made the Emperor of the Apocalypse overjoyed, and after inspecting the abilities, all of them were transferred by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Under the strong impetus of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this wave of reform in the court has been gradually implemented, although it has not yet seen results, but it has already begun.

The time soon came in May, and the Duke of Qianguo of Yunnan finally entered Beijing, but it was not the contemporary Duke of Qianguo Mu Changzuo, but his grandson Mu Tianbo. The Emperor of the Apocalypse sent Mu Tianbo to the palace, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still very curious about this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Qing army went south, when the Southern Ming court was about to fall, Mu Tianbo did not surrender like others, but fled to Burma to protect the Yongli Emperor. Later, the Burmese king sent people to arrest the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 42 people. Among these forty-two people, only Mu Tianbo died in battle after hammering more than a dozen people.

At this time, Mu Tianbo was just a young man in his twenties, looking vibrant, after seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said: "Minister Mu Tianbo, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse walked to the dragon chair and sat down, waved his hand, and said, "Excuse me!" When Mu Tianbo stood up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "This time, I summoned the Duke of Qianguo to Beijing and appointed him the Minister of Military Aircraft, I don't know why the Duke of Qianguo didn't come?" ”

In the Ming Dynasty, civil officials always had things to resist the decree, and both the emperor and the ministers were accustomed to it. People who want to make a name for themselves in the world through this are a lot of people, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't care. However, the martial arts are different, but if they do not obey the order, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan.

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a gloomy face, Mu Tianbo hurriedly showed a sincere and frightened expression, and said: "Emperor Qiqi, the ancestors are very old, and their health is not very good, and the road from Yunnan to the capital is far away, I am afraid it will be difficult to walk to the capital." Originally, the ancestor of the family was going to write an excerpt to express his feelings, but the emperor misunderstood, so he sent his ministers here. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew this, Mu Changzuo was indeed old, and I am afraid that he would not have a few years to live. After pondering for a moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said slowly: "It's because I didn't think about it, the Duke of Qianguo guarded Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty, and he made a great contribution to the country!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Mu family has been bathing in heaven for generations, which is the emperor's greatest kindness to the Mu family. It is the duty of the Mu family to guard Yunnan, and they dare not be greedy. Mu Tianbo hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully. Although they are far away in Yunnan, the Mu family also has eyes and ears in the capital, and they are also clear about what this young son of heaven has done.

Mu Tianbo knew very well in his heart, don't look at the emperor in front of him is young, he is not a few years older than himself, but whether it is wrist or might, it is not comparable to the first emperor. Facing the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Mu Tianbo didn't dare to be careless.

Glancing at Mu Tianbo deeply, this young man is really not simple, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly, and said, "Since the Duke of Qianguo can't come, why didn't the prince come?" Instead sent you? ”

sighed in his heart, sure enough, as his father said, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would definitely ask. It stands to reason that if his grandfather can't come, then he has to send his father, and now that he is here, it is inevitable that the Emperor of the Apocalypse will feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, although my father is not very old, his health is not very good, and he has been riddled with illness all these years, which is really not conducive to traveling. The ancestors of the family sent the ministers in the hope that the ministers could state the reasons before the holy drive. Speaking of which, Mu Tianbo himself was a little embarrassed, grandpa couldn't come, and father couldn't come.

Peeking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Mu Tianbo was very worried that he would anger the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which was why he came to the capital this time. If you write a letter to state your feelings, I am afraid that Qianguo Gong will soon become the target of public criticism. At that time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will also feel that the Mu family has the heart to divide Yunnan, and then the matter will be a big deal.

However, Mu Tianbo Bai was worried, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse's face did not change in the slightest, because the Emperor of the Apocalypse had known it for a long time. Although what Mu Tianbo said was very much like a lie, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that it was true. Whether it was the memory of his previous life or the secret report of Jinyi Weidong Factory, Mu Tianbo did not lie.

Mu Changzuo will die soon, and Mu Qiyuan has not lived for a few years, otherwise Mu Tianbo would not have taken over as the Duke of Qianguo so early. Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse agreed with Mu Tianbo's statement, and said: "I know, I will send someone to Yunnan to comfort the prince of Qianguo and the prince, the Mu family is the pillar of the court, and I naturally attach great importance to it." ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent people to go, he had the feeling of not believing Mu Tianbo, but Mu Tianbo was greatly relieved. Mu Tianbo knew very well in his heart that he might not necessarily believe such words when he said such things to himself. Now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has sent someone, he and the emperor can rest assured that he can say it in front of him, that is the greatest trust in the Mu family.

Looking at Mu Tianbo with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a soft tone: "Young people are the time to make meritorious contributions, I Guan Aiqing is extraordinary, don't go back to Yunnan this time, do a career in the capital!" ”

"Thanks to the emperor's weight, the ministers dare not to serve the dead!" Mu Tianbo suddenly showed a smile on his face, it was not his wish to eat and wait for death in Yunnan. originally thought that this life would be like this, but he didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity, and Mu Tianbo would naturally not let it go.

"I said ugly things in front, this Minister of Military Aircraft doesn't have your share, that's the official position I gave to the Duke of Qianguo. You can take over the title of Duke of Qianguo, but you can't take over the identity of the Minister of Military Aircraft! "The Emperor of the Apocalypse was just putting on a show, and seeing that Mu Tianbo did not disappoint him at this time, he was suddenly in a good mood and said with a smile.

Mu Tianbo was stunned for a moment, but he knew it himself, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is still young and has shallow qualifications, but he relies on the shadow of his ancestors. The Minister of Military Aircraft is in a high position and power, and the ministers dare not covet it. But the minister is still young, and he thinks that there will be a day. ”

Looking at the high-spirited Mu Tianbo, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, and said with a laugh: "Okay, good, young people must have such courage, I am waiting for that day." There are a lot of things going on in the Military Aircraft Department now, and it is the time to employ people, so you will go to Wei Guogong to do something. I have handed over the military affairs of the seven southeastern provinces to the Duke of Wei, so don't let me down. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will go all out!" Mu Tianbo was suddenly overjoyed, he was very confident in himself, and he would definitely be able to achieve something. I want to tell everyone that even if he doesn't rely on his ancestors, Mu Tianbo is no worse than anyone else!

"Okay, let's go! Do a good job and don't let me down! The Emperor of the Apocalypse gave the order to expel the guests with a smile on his face.

After Mu Tianbo saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he strode out, looking high-spirited.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and the leaves of the trees were rolled up in the sun. It was much cooler when the palace was in the palace, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat behind the dragon book case and flipped through the folds in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a cold melon that has been frozen, it's just right to eat it now!" Wang Chengen carried a porcelain basin with a lot of ice cubes in it, but in the middle was a small watermelon.

Putting down the fold in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed softly and said with a smile: "Let people cut it!" Now that it's hot, you have people send some to the harem girls, don't fall behind. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the slave has already sent someone, and the ladies have already eaten!" Wang Chengen smiled respectfully at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and asked the little eunuch on the side to cut the watermelon.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo ask to see you!" Chen Lin walked in quickly, respectfully saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, and then his face showed joy, and he said with a smile: "Let the two Aiqing come in!" Four months have passed, and the two Aiqing must have achieved some results, but I have been waiting! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei is going to bring in the two grandfathers!" Chen Lin naturally didn't dare to slack off, it was no one else waiting outside, it was the two grandfathers of the Ming Dynasty!

After not much effort, Wei Guogong and Dingguo Gong walked in under the leadership of Chen Lin, and neither of them knelt down, and saluted: "See the emperor!" ”

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "On such a hot day, the two Aiqing are still working hard, and I am very relieved. I pity it very much, the two Aiqing should take care of their health! ”

"Thank you for your concern, although the weather is hot, our hearts are even hotter. This is a major matter related to the national lineage, and the ministers naturally dare not wait. It was Ding Guogong who spoke, with a serious face.

Wei Guogong and Dingguo Gong can be said to be two types of people, Dingguo Gong is stereotypical, meticulous, and very serious. Wei Guogong is very arrogant, and he doesn't care at any time. These two people can be said to be very helpless together, but they are in the same vein, and they are in the same breath, so naturally there will be no irreconcilable disputes.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wang Chengen with a smile and ordered, "Go to the pavilion!" Let people send the cold melon over, I want to talk to the two Aiqing! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will prepare!" Wang Chengen naturally didn't dare to slack off, turned around and took people down to make arrangements.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse took the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo to a pavilion in the palace, which was the favorite place of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to escape the heat. No matter how hot the weather is, there will be a cool breeze blowing here, which is very comfortable.

Stretching out his finger and pointing to the stone pier in the pavilion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Two Aiqing, sit down and talk!" Today, I have stolen half of my life, and I just happened to have a good chat with the two Aiqing. ”

"Emperor Xie!" The two of them were not hypocritical, and sat down when they came to the stone pier. They are all princes of the country and imperial relatives, and they are really the elders of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so they naturally will not be like ordinary courtiers.

Picking up a piece of cold melon, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Two Aiqing try it, this cold melon is my favorite, and it is really a good product to cool off the heat." ”

The two of them were not polite, reached out and took a piece of watermelon and began to eat, obviously accustomed to such treatment.

The three Emperor of the Apocalypse did not speak, until the second piece of watermelon was eaten, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Although I hope that the two Aiqing will sit in the palace more, but I want to come to the two Aiqing There is also something, I don't know if it is something I want!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's been four months, although the emperor hasn't urged, but we are also anxious. Although Wei Guoping is used to chaos, he still doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest in major national affairs! This is what we have sorted out, the military situation of the 63 provinces in the south and north of the Ming Dynasty. The Military Aircraft Department has already discussed what needs to be paid attention to in the reform of the military system, and all of them have been annotated. Ding Guogong took out a thick piece of paper, his face was serious, and he said meticulously.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was suddenly a little funny, it was rare for Dingguo Gong to make fun of Wei Guogong, and even more rare was to make a very serious appearance.

Wei Guogong on the side smirked there, Dingguo Gong was his uncle, and he didn't dare to talk back. Although I am unhappy in my heart, I can't do anything about this old-fashioned uncle, and I'm afraid smirking is the best way.

After a slight sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Dingguo Gong and said solemnly: "Have you shown this thing to Mr. Sun?" Did he say anything? ”

Dingguo Gong's heart moved, it seemed that he was not wrong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse attached great importance to Sun Chengzong, and this military aircraft department was headed by Sun Chengzong. However, for Sun Chengzong, Dingguo Gong did not have the slightest contempt in his heart, not only because of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but also because Dingguo Gong respected Sun Chengzong very much.

Nodding affirmatively, Dingguo Gong said solemnly: "Back to the emperor, not only Lord Sun has seen these, but also the rest of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. Each of the above articles has been discussed one by one, and all the agreements that can be reached are written on it. Those who failed to reach an agreement were also written on it, and they were all signed at the back. As for the last attention, I'm afraid the emperor still has to come and get it! ”

Stretching out his hand and stroking the thick stack of papers, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this was the basis for his future work, thought about it, raised his head and said to Dingguo: "Two Aiqing, this time I transferred the Jinyi Guard to you, I don't know if there is anything wrong?" If there is anything wrong, the two Aiqing can come and listen to it, and there is no need to avoid anything here. ”

For Jinyiwei, the feelings of the two princes are very complicated, they were originally also members of the military, and they were also pro-army twelve guards. It's just that now Jinyiwei's status has long surpassed that of other pro-army, and after thinking about it, Dingguo said fairly: "The emperor transferred Jinyiwei over, which is really a wise decision." Luo Sigong of Jinyiwei and Wei Chao of Dongchang are very hard-working, their abilities are also good, and they are doing things very well. (To be continued.) )
