Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Beginning
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the first year of the Apocalypse, the five thousand beautiful girls selected from various provinces and provinces all gathered in one place, that is, Jingshi. At this time, the entire imperial court became the mainstream, and the various parties that were fighting back and forth seemed to have reached a certain consensus, and all of them died down. However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are not running on the street, nominally escorting the election of the Son of Heaven.
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace, Imperial Study.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat expressionlessly behind the Dragon Book Case, and the people standing beside him were still Li Lan and Chen Hong. It's just that in addition to these two people, there is also one more eunuch, and this eunuch is the admiral eunuch Wei Dynasty of Dongchang.
"Things are still going well on the Huangzhuang side, right?" Putting down the sycophant in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse rubbed his astringent eyes and said to Wei Chao below.
"Back to Your Majesty, a group of skilled craftsmen from the previous ones have entered, and these riddles are undergoing trial production, and it is unknown what the result will be. The things that His Majesty has given to purchase are also in progress, although not all of them have been collected, and a third of them have been collected. According to the current speed of use, it is enough for the Huangzhuang side to use it for a while. "Wei Chao knows very well what he should know, what he shouldn't know, what he shouldn't know, that is, he can't say it if he knows it.
"Well, very good, you first give me a good idea of what craftsmen are in the garrison camp in Nanjing, and the generals of the military department are in charge. Especially those generations of military craftsmen can get as much as they can, but be careful not to make people suspicious. "Now that the firearms factory is on the right track, the next step is to turn what they have researched into real objects, and these craftsmen are indispensable.
In the Ming Dynasty, many armies were uniformly issued by the imperial court, but there was one exception, that is, the Nanjing garrison camp. There is a workshop in its own duli, and there are its own craftsmen, so if you want to dig the foot of the wall, the first thing is naturally there. Such an unsightly thing is naturally the safest to hand over to the East Factory.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave knows." For the governor of Dongchang, such a thing is naturally not difficult, and he does not take things to heart.
And so a new year began, only now no one knows what will happen this year.
Henan, Xiangfu County.
Zhang Yan was standing at her door with tears on her face at this time, and on the other side were her father Zhang Guoji and mother Zhang.
"Yan'er, the road ahead to the capital is difficult, you have to be careful everywhere, and after you arrive in the capital, send someone back to deliver a letter." Zhang took Zhang Yan's hand at this time, and told him from time to time, and tears kept dripping. Although she is not Zhang Yan's biological mother, the relationship between the two is closer than that of ordinary mothers and daughters, and the Zhang family has always regarded Zhang Yan as her own daughter.
Seeing this scene, Xiangfu County made Li Changmao feel a little uncomfortable, things did not surprise him, this Miss Zhang really did not disappoint him, and passed the selection smoothly and was about to enter Beijing.
"Don't worry, my daughter won't have anything to do, and if I don't choose my daughter, I'll be back soon." Although Zhang Yan felt sad, she had to comfort her mother, this sixteen-year-old girl was also extremely confused about her future.
didn't have time to say anything more, the other side had already started to leave, and Zhang Yan couldn't stay a little longer, got into her own carriage and took her maid Xiaohuan and went on the road.
During this time, the whole capital seemed to be very lively, and with the entry of show girls from all over the world, the heat after the emperor's election was set off again. In the streets and alleys, countless people are talking about this matter, and it seems that this matter occupies everyone's life.
However, many people with a sensitive sense of political smell have sensed that something is wrong, although the court still reports good news and not bad news, but above this court, there seems to be something brewing.
Three days later, a very ordinary recital was put on the Dragon Book case of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but this recital was very special. He is said to be ordinary because this recital is the same as other recitals, no different. It is said that it is special because there is no subordinate opinion in this cabinet, and it needs to be judged by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Since coming to this world, this is the first time such a thing has happened, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse has studied history, but it is also roughly learned. Although I know a lot about the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty in the past, I don't know much about many things.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse only remembered that a lot of things happened in the early years of the Apocalypse, that is, in this year, the Later Jin rose, Shenyang was lost, and the three eastern provinces almost fell into the hands of the Later Jin. Since then, the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty have started a war that has lasted for more than 20 years, and the Ming Dynasty has completely entered the countdown to destruction.
Glancing at Liu Yijing, the cabinet minister standing below, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said lightly: "What's going on with this recital?" Why does the cabinet have no opinion? ”
"Your Majesty, this book is from Lord Zhefang, and the cabinet is to avoid suspicion, so please please your majesty." Liu Yijing also realized at this time that something seemed to be happening, and a huge storm seemed to be brewing in the quiet court, and at the center of the storm was the cabinet, or the first assistant of the cabinet.
Nodding slightly, he glanced at Liu Yijing, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "You go down!" I'll see it. ”
When Liu Yijing left, the Emperor of the Apocalypse handed the fold to Li Lan behind him, although now the Emperor of the Apocalypse can already understand the fold, but this kind of laborious thing is still rarely done.
Li Lan did not hesitate to take the fold and look at it, for Li Lan, such things have long been accustomed to it. Li Lan's existence has long been no secret, and everyone in the palace knows that this Lan girl is a close attendant of His Majesty's side. The status in the palace is only comparable to the palm print eunuch Wang An, and the admiral and eunuch Wei Chao of Dongchang will call Li Lan Miss Lan when he sees him.
For the ministers in the court, Li Lan's existence is also something they are happy to see, after all, it plays a role in containing the eunuchs. They are not offended by this Lan girl, and they also respectfully call Lan girl. Everyone knows that as long as the emperor gets married, this blue girl will at least be a noble concubine.
"Your Majesty." Li Lan shouted, saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and continued: "This book is from Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the impeachment is the first assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe. ”
"Hmph, it's not small, no wonder the cabinet handed it over, it turned out that it couldn't be suppressed. A senior member of the Donglin Party impeached the leader of the Chu Party, and it seems that they finally couldn't bear it. The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered and stroked the hilt of the Seven Star Sword and motioned for Li Lan to continue.
