Among the ministers who stood up, Fu Jian was a very suitable person.

This courtier is in his forties, his father has gone through two dynasties, has just become a minister, never participated in party struggles, and is loyal to the Great Chu Emperor.

Fu Jian was promoted after his father stepped down, he was upright and upright, and he offended many people with his knowledge, but he was indeed very insightful and respected by many young students.

Such a person doesn't seem to have any scheming, and he can be relieved to use it.

Look at the two people below, Huang Yuzhang and Yun Jingtian, who are standing on both sides of the court, the civil and military generals have always been at odds, and they are even more sneering at each other at this time.

The emperor was wandering, and Zuo Xiang stood up again: "Your Majesty, the Goryeo envoy handed me a festival to Dachu, and wanted to send an envoy over, I heard that some merchants have landed in the north."

"What are their intentions?" The emperor frowned and pondered.

"Your Majesty, you said, is it related to the firearms used in the Northland?" Lord Wu said.

"Give an order to King Jing and ask him to hand over the firearm formula!" After the emperor pondered for a moment, he still made up his mind.

"Since Fu Aiqing is sincere and willing to go to the Northland, then I will allow you. After I go, I will definitely help King Jing to rectify the rule of the officials, understand? ”

"Weichen received the order", Fu Ji and others knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Prince, Goryeo envoy, you are responsible for the reception", the emperor then ordered.

"Erchen takes the order", the crown prince came out, and the second prince and the third prince glanced at each other, their expressions were a little gloomy.

"Retreat." The emperor raised his eyes listlessly, Concubine Wu was too seductive last night, and he was also a little tired.

After the ministers dispersed in order, the young master of the crown prince caught up with him, "His Royal Highness the Prince, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think of the situation in the court today?" ”

"You want to say Northland? Or Goryeo? If you are in the north, it is too far away from us, a bitter cold land, there is no money and no food, and it can't be climated, so it is just to distract the emperor's mind and save you too suspicious. Now the second and third children must be guarded against. ”

The young master of the crown prince said: "Your Royal Highness is thinking about it very much, but King Jing is so tossed in the north, eliminating dissidents, consolidating power, plus that mysterious firearm, but he also has to guard against it, for a few people, it is best to find an opportunity to win it over." ”

"Hmm", the prince nodded, in his eyes, Da Chu would be his sooner or later. But the emperor didn't care, the mother of the two brothers was not good, he had to let the queen add fire and help see his power.

As for Mu Jingyi, his attitude is to win over and be on guard, and the courtiers below are even more so.

In the boudoir of the Li Mansion, a tall girl sat in front of Li Jingzhen, holding a chess piece in her wrist, frowning slightly.

"Mi Xue, the emperor intends to marry you and King Jing, what do you think?" Li Jingzhen's scheming eyes flashed with a soft light.

The girl grinned, like a breeze blowing: "Dad, what the emperor said, where can we question it, my daughter naturally has no objections"

"Really?" Li Jingzhen was a little incredulous.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter understands her own value", Li Mixue smiled faintly, "That King Jing, I heard that he is a beautiful man, and his daughter will not lose money if she marries him."

Li Jingzhen was still a little uneasy, looked at her again and again, and after he really didn't find any flaws, he gave up without giving up.

"The emperor asked our father and daughter to follow Master Fu's convoy this time, you ......"

"Dad, look at what you're worried about, don't worry", Li Mixue finished speaking, continued to look at the chessboard, and said no more.

"Hey......" Li Jingzhen sighed inaudibly.

After Fu Jian and a few people went back, they didn't communicate at all, they were all explaining the things behind, and the family members couldn't all go with them, otherwise the emperor would not worry, who to leave and how much property to leave behind would be enough for them to discuss for a while.

What made the emperor and the princelings a little relieved was that they heard that Huang Yuzhang's wife did not agree to go to the north to suffer, and cried with the child for a long time, and even privately begged to the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, hoping that he could help persuade one or two, because Huang Yuzhang's firm attitude, he finally had to agree, but the eldest son who was sixteen years old was still left in the house of Huangfu.

There are a few Yunjingtian, or military generals, who are already stationed on the side, and are used to coming and going in the wind and rain. Either from a poor family and a simple family background. A few people were the first to prepare.

In this trip, there were five or six second-class adults, all of whom left their families in Kyoto. There are also more than 40 petty officials who are ready to fill the vacancies in the north, and these people are not so strictly verified, and a few of them have been approved.

There are a few people who go to court every day, and there are a few less out of place, and for other officials, the biggest feeling is that there is no one to raise the bar. As far as the household department is concerned, it is just a limited number of people who need to be supported with public funds.

Several princes are very good at being people, and they want to go together. When several officials went to the north, the princes all went to the Shili Long Pavilion to send each other and gave a lot of gifts.

Fu Jian was already high, and he didn't accept gifts, let alone words of gratitude, but only said that he would not live up to the trust of the saint and the court.

However, Huang Yuzhang was still full of gratitude, and took his family all the way and waved all the way.

The performance of these people was already reported to the emperor before the case, which made the emperor even more relieved.

The prince watched Fu Wei and the others leave in their carriages, and he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Mu Jingyi likes to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and if he can't get rid of the roots, there are a lot of checks and balances, and before the court officials are in place, the pattern of Xingcheng officialdom has changed greatly, and the yamen around the country have quietly promoted and installed their own people.

The villagers of Luojia Village were busy working in the workshop when they suddenly heard gongs and drums outside.

"Did the old village chief knock it? Why didn't he come directly to the workshop? Aunt Huang asked.

"I don't know."

"Listen, it's noisy outside?"

……

When the messenger arrived in Luojia Village, he began to beat the gong.

This village is also strange, in the past, as long as the gongs and drums sounded, the villagers had to rush over.

What's the matter today, after striking the gong for half a day, there are only about a dozen people coming, and they are all old men. The person who reported the good news was a little confused, standing under the big locust tree at the head of the village, not knowing what to do.

"Official, what's the matter?" Uncle Niu, who had no teeth, stood up tremblingly and asked.

"Where does Liu Yongchang's family live?" The person who reported the good news asked with a smile on his face.

"Who's home?" Uncle Niu's ears are a little back.

"Liu Yongchang!" , Uncle Huang next to him smiled and nodded at him: "Old thing, don't ask if you can't hear it, and you can't hear it if you ask."

"Hey, sir, I'll tell you, who are you looking for?" Uncle Huang turned his head and forgot about it.

The people who gave the good news were a little worried, and they were ready to pass them and go from house to house in the village.

Uncle Huang looked at their distant backs and snorted: "I'm really stupid, I won't tell you where the surname Liu lives."
