Chapter 442: Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, pillow and wait

On the fourth day of the first month of December, Jinyiwei's Ti rode into the city of Nanjing, and an urgent report was handed to Chen Cao's desk, who was making arrangements in the Qianqing Palace.

After Chen Cao took a quick look, he then put down the official document and nodded with a smile: "Yunnan Suning." ”

The ministers in the palace got up one after another to congratulate, Chen Cao pressed his hand and said: "Mu Qilin caught the culprit and used the general of the Mu family as a scapegoat, I don't care about it, there are not too many rebels in Kunming, there is Mu Qilin in charge, and the Mu family can't turn the sky in Yunnan." ”

Chen Cao walked back and forth a few times in front of the imperial case, and then said in a deep voice: "Immediately set up the Yunnan Military Region, based on a regiment in Yunnan, and integrate the army in Yunnan, Mu Qilin will temporarily take the post of commander of the Yunnan Military Region as the Duke of Qianguo, and the appointment of officials in Yunnan will be arranged tomorrow evening." ”

After the instructions were completed, Zhao Xin also entered the Qianqing Palace at this time, because of his special status, he could appear in the palace on any occasion: "Emperor, Qinghai urgent." ”

Regarding the joint Mongolian Chahar Department, it is also a part, and Chen Cao thinks that he can do his best to win over Chahar, which can reduce the pressure on Hong Chengchou.

"Emperor, the Qianhu Zuojie of the East Factory has fulfilled his mission, and Chahar agreed to send 100,000 troops to fight together."

Everyone in the palace could hear it clearly, and Chen Cao was in a good mood: "Okay, very good, the logistics department, let the foreign trade company cooperate, first equip Hong Chengchou's army, and transport all the materials they need, the Governor's Mansion, you immediately formulate a detailed battle plan for the two departments of Horqin and Bahrain, the sooner the better." ”

.

Chen Cao's last stop of the year was set in Songjiang, the place where he started, and after inspecting factories around Huating, the training ground in Qingpu was the final focus.

Qingpu is a small county, but it has opened up a super-large military camp that can accommodate 100,000 people for training at the same time in a place ten miles north of the county seat, with a total radius of 15 li, and barracks, shooting ranges, and training rooms.

On the school ground, the troops at all levels were listening to Chen Cao's lecture.

"You are all the future elite of the Ming Dynasty, your task is to protect your family and defend the country, not to protect me, although I am your emperor, but you remember clearly, everyone is equal, I just take you to prosperity and strength, everything, all depends on you, Ming... Wan Sheng..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

After Qingpu left, Chen Cao and his entourage arrived in Shanghai to inspect Pudong and Puxi, and the arsenal in Puxi was also the focus, and then checked the account books of the past few years with Shen Zhuangling in the foreign trade company.

"You've had a hard time in the past few years."

Shen Zhuangling gently slapped Chen Cao's shoulder: "With Your Majesty taking care of it, it's not hard." ”

"Do you know that Mu Qilin has already attacked the Duke of Qianguo?"

Shen Zhuangling snorted, and then said, "This is the Mu family's own choice." ”

"You're not stupid," Chen Cao laughed, and then said, "Your daughter is also older, have you ever thought about who to give it to?" ”

Shen Zhuangling stopped: "Your Majesty has a plan?" ”

Chen Cao stood up, sat behind the desk and nodded: "It's enough to have you, I'm not that kind of person." ”

Shen Zhuangling pouted, "Sister Liu, they are not. ”

"Hey..."Chen Cao pretended to be angry: "They are different, you can't do it here, besides, you have a son now, your life will not be difficult in the future, as for your daughter, I have a suitable candidate." ”

"Guogong?"

Chen Cao shook his head with a smile: "Among the young and handsome people, there are really not a few princes, and some of them are hereditary gentlemen, they can't fight wars, what's the matter, you have chosen someone in private?" ”

Shen Zhuangling also laughed, and then shook her head: "Don't you dare, Your Majesty, you have strict orders, concubines only know some people, but don't dare to go directly to the intersection, besides, Your Majesty, before you don't directly issue a policy, concubines don't dare to come nonsense." ”

Chen Cao stared at her and said: "You are smart, I have two candidates, but under the election, I still think Lou Xingye is good, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty calls the shots."

Chen Cao felt that it was necessary to win over a group of people, although he did not need to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, but for the future social system of the Ming Dynasty, the noble class should be the best choice: "Before the end of the year, let your daughter marry Lou Xingye," said Chen Cao with great interest: "I will give you another honor, change your daughter's name to 'Meizhuang', give the lord of Pingyang County, and complete the marriage with a national gift, how about it?" ”

Shen Zhuangling was overjoyed, this was something she never expected, she turned around and came to Chen Cao, squatting down with a bright smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine came to dress you..."

Chen Cao laughed and went with the flow, a song of Guangling has a long history...

...

Loujia Village, Taizhou

Lou Xingye, who is now the Marquis of Huai'an, returned to his hometown with Shen Meizhuang, the lord of Pingyang County, who had just finished marriage, Lou Xingye was no longer the bastard boy who herded cattle back then, and the old village chief saw Lou Xingye, and he was about to kneel down.

Lou Xingye grabbed the old village chief, smiled, and then said: "Uncle Lou, you are harming me, you can't know the 'kneeling salute' banned by the imperial court, don't come to this set, you go back first, and I will visit your house later." ”

Lou Xingye's return to the province is not a trivial matter, and the Taizhou prefect is also accompanied by Lou Nan, and worshiped Lou Nan in the Lou family ancestral hall, and then put Lou Nan's armor back again, and there is an extra pair next to it, which is the armor that Lou Xingye wears.

The Lou family is still the same, Lou Xingye's father did not improve the decoration of the house because of Lou Xingye's career, but because he learned that his daughter-in-law was the county lord, he went to the county to buy a lot of new mattresses.

"Dad, my son is back to see you."

Lou Xingye knelt in front of his father, and Shen Meizhuang also knelt down with him.

"Yo, how dare you let the county lord kneel to us."

Saying that he was going to help, Shen Meizhuang was clever, raised his head and smiled: "Father deserves it, besides, our court wants everyone to know the 'kneeling ceremony', and it is natural for a daughter-in-law to kneel to her father-in-law." ”

For a time, the incident of Lou Xingye, a bastard boy, becoming the Marquis of Huai'an and marrying the county lord of Pingyang as his wife, became a good story.

...

"Your Majesty, this is a signal to the whole world."

Zhao Xin drank with a few old brothers, and said a sentence on his head: "Promote the county lord of Pingyang, marry the kid Lou Xingye, the key is to let the county lord kneel to the father-in-law of the people, how many brothers?" Got it? ”

Gao Chong and Zhao Xin are now in important positions, and Xu Kaixian is in charge of the West Factory: "You know, everyone is equal." ”

"Our Majesty has created a precedent for the emperors of the previous dynasties, and after the people opened their minds, there were many things, and I heard Lord Huang also say that this may affect the imperial power and throne in the future."

Zhao Xin took a sip of wine and smashed his mouth: "Therefore, Your Majesty has focused on clarifying the importance of imperial power in the three major schools and in the future teaching, but has thrown away the name of imperial power, after all, this is a trick to fool the people, and the actual situation with the people will let the people know that it is good, and it will be supported by the people." ”

A few people drank, and Liao Yaowen touched Zhao Xin: "Old Zhao, I heard that your kid is going to become a national relative." ”

Zhao Xin shook his head: "No, no, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Fart, you kid has a strict mouth, the status of Guozijian is different now, and ordinary students are not accepted at all, after the policy comes down, but all students who go out of Guozijian will be directly awarded officials, and they don't need to participate in the imperial examination, I know that your daughter has already gone to Guozijian, although it is a sure thing that women will be admitted to school, but entering Guozijian, hehe, you kid is the first time."

Zhao Xinxin moved, he still remembered what the emperor said to him at that time, and then shook his head: "The holy will is unpredictable, I don't know, don't take it out and talk nonsense, if the emperor gets angry at that time, you boys know that I am the head of Jinyiwei." ”

Gao Chong smiled evilly: "Lao Zhao, my niece is now 17, right?" ”

Zhao Xin didn't speak, Gao Chong continued: "Forget it, the prince is 16 years old this year, and he is also 17 years old, hehe..."

"Lao Zhao, you have to follow our brothers in the future."

"It's just..."

Several people echoed, and Zhao Xin also sighed, he had thought about it, especially if he asked the prince to kneel on him, how could this happen.

Han Shizhong finally said: "Insert a sentence, right now, the emperor has sealed dozens of Hou Bo in one go, do you say there will be us in the future?" Lao Zhao, you are close to the emperor, I have heard that you have not. ”

At this time, Zhao Xin raised his head and said, "Hehe, you guys, you have to invite me to drink in the future." ”

..

The plan to go out in March next year has been arranged by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and Chen Cao has many things to do, but Chinese New Year's Eve is also a big event, and Chen Cao specially asked people to arrange their own family banquet in the Jiaotai Hall.

A group of ladies and children were present, because of Chen Cao, everyone laughed freely at the whole family banquet, and there was no royal majesty at all, which was also what Chen Cao wanted.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Cao put down his chopsticks, looked at the prince and said, "Boss, do you have a favorite girl?" ”

According to the previous rules, there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, but after Chen Cao ascended the throne, Chen Boxuan, who was originally three months older than Chen Bohao, became the son-in-law, the prince Chen Bohao was the eldest and Chen Boxuan was the second, which also made Li Fengchun happy, after all, there was no distinction between the concubines, and the identities were different, and besides, the relationship between the two brothers was very good.

Facing Chen Cao's questioning, the prince blushed, and then shook his head: "My son hasn't yet." ”

Chen Boxuan laughed, then stood up and said, "Dad, the eldest brother is talking nonsense, he has a good relationship with Zhao Zhongrong in Guozijian." ”

As soon as these words came out, the prince blushed like a monkey's ass, and his concubines laughed one after another.

Chen Cao muttered: "Why did this old boy Zhao Xin choose his daughter's name so badly." ”

Li Xiang next to him heard it, so he smiled and said: "I have to tell you something, his daughter didn't have this name before, I heard that she found Xu Zhenren from Wudang Mountain to change it." ”
