Chapter 23 Li Banghua
"Mama, why do you keep staring at me? Is there anything wrong with my appearance? ”
Apocalypse, who was eating the seafood stew made by Kebaba himself, was actually secretly paying attention to her, and when he caught a glimpse of this woman staring at him, he looked up and asked directly.
Kebaba was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Back to Banzai, Mama likes to watch Banzai eat Mama's meals." Seeing that Banzai likes to eat, Mama is also happy, after so many years, I can't get enough of it. ”
Hearing this, Tianqi immediately smiled and said: "After eating for so many years, I can't eat enough, I'm afraid I will have to eat for a lifetime, but it will just make Mama suffer." ”
Kebaba said happily: "Being able to serve long live is a blessing that Mama can't cultivate in a few lifetimes, how can she be tired?" It's too late for Mama to be happy. ”
The two of them pretended to be affectionate, the underlying meaning of the apocalypse is that I still trust you very much, so don't add anything to the soup that shouldn't be there.
But Kebaba was secretly thinking, while eating the meal made by the old lady, and at the same time, he kept accepting the right of the old lady to be good, which made the old lady anxious, and the old lady could let you return to the west at any time.
While Li Banghua had not yet arrived, Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian were busy with their own affairs.
Tianqi still often goes to the War Bureau to take a look, so that the palm print eunuch Gao Xiaochuan is walking on thin ice, for fear that if something goes wrong, he will be beaten again.
And the craftsmen led by Liu Erneng, although they were also afraid, were more happy, because Banzai was much better than those eunuchs who were not welcome to their own craftsmen.
Last time, a craftsman was tired, and Banzai actually asked people to directly find a doctor to treat him, which is incredible.
Banzai also inquired about how much silver the craftsmen got last time they copied Liu Daneng's house, and even cared about how well their people ate and whether they could eat enough......
When you meet such a good emperor, how can you not be grateful to Dade?
Because of this, many craftsmen who originally served in silver have also returned to the military battle bureau one after another, and many of them are very good craftsmen.
Because these craftsmen with good craftsmanship are easier to find work and make more money after going out, they are more willing to pay silver for service, even if they want to pay extra attention to those eunuchs.
Many of those who stayed in the War Bureau could not afford to pay the money, and their skills were not perfect, so they had no confidence to earn money for service outside, so they had to stay in the War Bureau.
But now it's different, the few benevolent policies implemented by Banzai in the War Bureau can't be exchanged for any amount of money earned outside.
Therefore, after confirming that these news were true, they all rushed back, as if this was not a conscription, but a rush to take the exam.
Even some craftsmen who did not take their shifts to their heads tried their best to enter the war after getting the news, for fear that once they missed it, they would have no chance when they arrived.
However, it is not so easy to enter the military battle now, and only after passing the assessment of craftsmanship can you enter, which is about to become the imperial examination in the craftsman world.
But even so, it can't dispel their eagerness.
"I Liu Erneng has never read, but I know that there are few good emperors in the world who love the people like Long Live us."
"We don't have any skills, we have this bit of craftsmanship, since Banzai handed us the errand of the flintlock pistol, we can no longer deal with things as casually as before, it's not a human thing."
"If you don't do it well, don't blame me for Liu Erneng's unsympathetic face, I will definitely report to Banzai."
Liu Erneng, who has become a supervisor, is very enthusiastic about his work, and his quality requirements for flintlock pistols are becoming more and more strict, so no one wants to pass the test in confusion.
And the craftsmen are also very cooperative, on the one hand, they really feel the immensity of the emperor, and long live is also worth their own people's lives.
On the other hand, since Liu Erneng sued Liu Daneng last time, he has become more and more fond of suering, and he first went to the palm seal eunuch Gao Gonggong.
If Grandpa Gao doesn't deal with it, he is ready to sue Banzai, and now even Grandpa Gao is a little afraid of him.
After visiting the Apocalypse a few times, he was also quite satisfied with the current operation of the War Bureau.
And Wei Zhongxian and his godson Cui Chengxiu were busy cleaning up their messes.
Because after Li Banghua arrived in Beijing, Cui Chengxiu was going to hand over the Beijing camp to Li Banghua for rectification, and the Beijing camp involved huge interests, so the problems were as good as those of the border army.
There are few officials and magnates in the capital who have not extended their claws to the Beijing camp, and they can take advantage of a little, anyway, they are greedy for the money of the imperial court.
The powerful eunuch party is naturally no exception, and now Cui Chengxiu is following Wei Zhongxian's order to destroy some evidence as much as possible, so as not to give Li Banghua too much of a handle.
……
In a small courtyard in a small mountain village in Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, after listening to the holy decree read by the eunuch who announced the decree, the gray-haired Li Banghua was very excited.
"Long live, long live remember the old minister?"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
This kind of surprise is from the bottom of his heart, he really wants to serve the court, but he has no choice but to be in charge of the eunuch party, it is very difficult to do something practical, and he has to deal with the attacks of the eunuch party from time to time, which is really difficult.
Originally, he thought that after retiring this time, he didn't know when he would come out, but he didn't expect that in just two years, Banzai would think of himself and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Li Banghua immediately looked at one of the Jinyi Guards, and said with some doubts: "I didn't expect Lord Liu to return to Jinyiwei?" ”
He knew this person because this person was none other than Liu Qiao, the commander of the Fusi of Jinyiwei's Qiannan Town, and he was the number two person besides Luo Sigong.
And this Lord Liu left Jinyiwei, not because of anything else, but because he did not want to belong to the eunuch party, so he was cut and dismissed, but he didn't expect to come back a few years later.
Could it be that he took refuge in the eunuch party? But it's not right to think about it, now the entire Jinyiwei is a eunuch, and those important positions are also occupied by Wei Zhongxian's godson and his concubine's relatives, and he Liu Qiao is no longer needed.
Liu Qiao could naturally hear Li Banghua's potential meaning, it should be far away from Beijing and in a small mountain village, so he didn't get the news in time.
But this is not a secret, Master Li will naturally know when he arrives in Jingshi.
So, he said directly: "Lord Li doesn't know, now that Jinyiwei is in charge of Lord Luo, most of us old guys are still alive, and most of them have returned." ”
Li Banghua was taken aback: "Is there anything else?" What did the former commander Tian Ergeng do? ”
Liu Qiao shook his head and said: "There is no crime, the sons and grandsons of Gonggong Wei, as well as the sons and younger brothers of Mrs. Fengsheng, have all taken the initiative to withdraw from Jinyiwei." ”
Li Banghua was shocked again, Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba are both power-hungry, how would they do such a thing? It's so counterintuitive.
Moreover, the Jingying is also in charge of them, but now it has to be handed over to themselves, the Donglin Party members they hate the most, and they can accept it?
Li Banghua still wanted to ask, but he also knew that the current occasion was not suitable, so he quietly inquired about Liu Qiao after he got on the road.
However, Liu Qiao didn't know much, and he didn't have much friendship with this Master Li, so Li Banghua didn't get the answer he wanted.
Since this is the case, he is even more like an arrow to see what happened in the court that he has not seen for two years.
