Since Jiang Ning instilled in Zhu Houzhao the idea of crisscrossing the sea and proclaiming the power of all countries, he has always been very active in opening the sea.

"The minister commands."

Jiang Ning had already typed the draft and began to tell the story.

Starting with the city shipping department, he explained how to formulate the corresponding laws for trade and commerce, and then sent a special department to set up cards to collect taxes.

Then it was to reorganize and strengthen the naval division, divide the specific sea areas under the jurisdiction of each department, and put forward ways for them to involve each other in checks and balances.

Last but not least, there is the question of how to reopen the shipyard.

After all, sailing out to sea is a joke if you don't have the right big ship.

Zhu Houzhao nodded frequently when he heard this, stroked his palms and laughed:

"Jiang Shi, you are really knowledgeable and talented, nothing can be difficult for you.

It's good to have you, I'm a mouthful. ”

"It is an honor for the minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

Just when the monarch and ministers were talking happily, in a garden somewhere in the leopard room, Xirong and Zhouruo quietly walked out from behind a rockery.

Immediately after, a handyman little eunuch quickly disappeared.

"Sister, according to the information in the sect, that Meng Wanning is not Jiang Ning's cousin at all.

Could it be that Jiang Ning deliberately found it from the people and deliberately dedicated it to the little emperor in order to win his favor.

Zhou Ruo looked around, and said lightly:

"It's possible. The little emperor seems to like that woman very much, if she is allowed to enter the palace, our sisters will inevitably be left out in the cold, wouldn't it be a ruin to the great cause of the Holy Sect.

Let's see if there's a chance for the little emperor to bring him here, and we'll find a way to make a difference.

If this is the case, the opportunity to bring down Jiang Ning has come. ”

The Leopard House is in the main hall.

Jiang Ning retired to Zhu Houzhao and prepared to go back.

As soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw a prison supervisor hurrying over.

When the inner eunuch saw him, he looked overjoyed and said, "Lord Jiang, the villain is about to look for you." ”

Jiang Ning looked up and down a few times and said, "You are, you are beside His Highness Yun'an?" ”

"Master Jiang has a good memory, and he is a villain.

His Highness sent me as a last resort, and I have something important to inform. ”

"Come on."

"Previously, the two princesses, Yun'an and Yunyang, went to Changbian Palace with Their Majesty, but without the permission of Empress Xia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After returning, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Gao Feng Gao, told Empress Xia about the matter and suggested that she should be severely punished.

The queen ordered the two princesses to be grounded, the monthly stipend halved, and even candles were not used.

Before the evening of these two days, the palace was dark, and His Highness was really anxious to cry, so he sent the villain to talk to the adults about it, hoping that the adults could intercede with His Majesty.

By the way, Grandpa Gao also came to the leopard room, thinking it was about to arrive. ”

Jiang Ning listened, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Gao Feng is greedy and timid, knowing that he will offend himself, how can he take the initiative to speak to Queen Xia.

And he has always been the only one who looks forward to Liu Jin, and I think it must have been instructed by the latter.

After all, the two princesses were convicted of exceeding the rules by the hands of Queen Xia, which doesn't mean that he, the initiator, is also guilty, and the crime is even greater.

In this way, the impeachment of hundreds of officials by taking advantage of this shareholder wind is not as simple as just giving away financial power.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning's heart was even colder.

It seems that Liu Jin is really good at it, and he also knows how to use Queen Xia.

Also, this woman must know that the emperor took Meng Wanning to the palace and brought two princesses, but she didn't take her, how could she not hold a grudge and want to vent her evil anger.

As long as Liu Jin casually teased a few words, it was easy to be arched into flames.

"This father-in-law, come here with your ears, and I'll tell you ......"

Jiang Ning lightly called the inner supervisor over and whispered a few words.

"Don't worry, the villain understands."

"Very good."

Jiang Ning immediately walked back, but did not go to see Zhu Houzhao first, but went to the imperial dining room and found Gonggong Wu, who was in charge of the meal.

This is Gu Dayong's cronies, and he is considered his own person.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the main hall.

I saw that Gao Feng happened to be talking to Zhu Houzhao.

"Hey, Jiang Shiyu, why did you go and come back, but you forgot to say something."

Zhu Houzhao stopped talking and said suspiciously.

Jiang Ning arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, tomorrow the Japanese delegation will arrive in Beijing, and they are vulgar and arrogant, and they do not understand the law of etiquette.

The minister was afraid of colliding with my Ming mission, and asked His Majesty to send additional guards to subdue them tomorrow. ”

"This is reasonable, you can do it."

"Yes."

Jiang Ning received the order, suddenly pretended to have just seen Gao Feng, and exclaimed:

"Ah, Grandpa Gao has also come to the leopard room, but what good things have you offered to Your Majesty?"

Gao Feng was about to reply, when he heard Zhu Houzhao say:

"This ignorant person just came to ask me what I was missing, but I haven't taken the initiative to send something new for a while."

Gao Feng said with a smiling face: "Your Majesty, the things in the capital are really lackluster, and I can't find anything good to your heart." ”

Jiang Ning took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, have you ever tasted the famous snack sugar fire in Beijing?" ”

"What is this? These bastards never give me any good stuff from the outside, saying that they don't match their identity. ”

Zhu Houzhao became interested.

Jiang Ning hurriedly praised it to the sky, as if it was a regret of his life if he had not tasted it.

"Is it really that good?"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless.

"The minister likes to eat this thing the most recently, and he often makes some at home.

It is said that this thing is easy to make, and it is easy to use the ability of the imperial dining room, and if His Majesty wants to eat it, he can order the imperial dining room. ”

"Good, good!"

Zhu Houzhao stroked his palms and laughed, and said to Gao Feng: "Don't go quickly, order the imperial dining room to make some for me." ”

Gao Feng said yes again and again, and came to the imperial dining room in a hurry, and found Gonggong Wu to tell him about it.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry to eat, do it faster, if you slack off, I can't spare you."

Gonggong Wu had already received Jiang Ning's orders, and flattered:

"Grandpa Gao, if Your Majesty is so fond of eating snacks outside, why don't you build a new imperial dining room in the leopard room to make these snacks.

When Your Majesty wants to eat it, you can deliver it at any time, so that Your Majesty will be happier and more respectful of your father-in-law? ”

Gao Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile and said:

"Yes, after our family goes back, we will let the Internal Affairs Department allocate funds."

"I don't know how many taels of silver my father-in-law plans to allot, but the villain has a number in his heart."

"Uh, 50,000 taels in advance, it's not enough, you can ask our family again, do you know?"

Gao Feng patted Gonggong Wu's shoulder heavily.

"The villain understands."

"Well, you're good."

And just as Gao Feng left the main hall, the previous inner supervisor quickly ran in and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao.

"Please be kind to the two princesses!"

In his tearful narration, the tragic situation of Yun An and Yun Yang skyrocketed.

It was even said that he had no food to eat, so he could only stay in the claustrophobic dormitory and wash his face with tears.

It's worse than being in the cold palace.

Zhu Houzhao's face changed suddenly, he got up angrily, picked up an inkstone and smashed it on the ground:

"Bastard, the local government dares to treat my two imperial sisters so harshly!

How dare they! ”

Jiang Ning sighed and said, "Although the queen gave an order, it was probably for show. I don't want this group of internal officials of the Internal Affairs Office to deliberately misinterpret their intentions, or even exaggerate them.

This is not only bullying the two princesses, but also slapping the face of the royal family and even His Majesty! ”

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table suddenly: "Gao Feng, I handed over the Internal Affairs Office to him, and he disciplined him like that!" ”

At this time, Gao Feng just happened to run back excitedly: "Your Majesty is calling slaves?" ”

"You daring dog!"

Zhu Houzhao smashed another inkstone.

Gao Feng's forehead suddenly flowed with blood, but he was stunned and gritted his teeth and didn't dare to wail, but knelt down and kowtowed.

"The slave knows what is wrong!"

He didn't know what was going on, but he was right.

Suddenly, Gonggong Wu ran in and said:

"Your Majesty, the right man said that he would build a new imperial dining room, so that he could make novel snacks outside for His Majesty.

It's just that the slave maid has just been transferred to the imperial food supervisor, and I don't know if His Majesty has any taboos, or what he loves to eat, so the slave and maid should write it down so that nothing will go wrong. ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Gao Feng, his heart was inexplicably warm.

"I don't have much to say, so you can go down first."

"Yes, the slave will go back and get ready first. Tomorrow, when Gonggong Gao allocates 50,000 taels of silver, he will definitely be able to make many snacks that suit His Majesty's heart. ”

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Ning hurriedly stopped:

"Why do you need so many silver taels to build an imperial dining room for snacks. If you buy it outside, even the most expensive one is only a dozen pennies a piece, and the cost is even cheaper.

How do you ask for fifty thousand taels of silver? Don't you want to use golden silk nanmu to build house beams? ”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't understand anything, there was another burst of fire, and he walked straight over and kicked Gao Feng over:

"Okay, you dog, I don't have to worry about handing over the Internal Affairs Office to you to take care of, that's how you repay me?

Do you dare to fill your pockets? Eat such a big rebate!

Come on, drag me out, remove me from my post and investigate! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life!"

Gao Feng kowtowed again.

"When did I say I wanted your life? From now on, you will go to the imperial dining room for me and specialize in making snacks! ”
