August 23rd, the second year of the Great Tomorrow.

It has been nearly a month since the changes in the court and the establishment of the Special Military Division.

Nearly 20 days have passed since Xu Guangqi left Beijing for Puzhou, Shanxi, and Wang Qi estimates that news will come back in the next two days.

After processing the official documents in the military department, Wang Qi got up and walked out of the door, wanting to breathe.

Xu Guangqi was out of tolerance, Sun Chengzong was not in good health these days and was recuperating in the house, Ye Xianggao went to the Tongzheng Yamen to deal with the political affairs of the six ministries, and Lu Yu went to the Hubu Yamen to deal with the several boatloads of wool that were about to arrive from Zhejiang.

And his uncle Wang Huazhen was still on the way back to Beijing, and only Wang Qi was left alone in the entire military office, so it seemed much more deserted.

Since the establishment of the Military Department, the Ming Cabinet Yamen has become a virtual reality, directly six ministries to connect with the Military Department, and then contact the emperor himself, the cabinet has become a dispensable institution.

The courtyard of the military office is not big, with low red walls in all directions, standing on the steps under the eaves, looking up, Wang Qi can almost vaguely see the corner of the Biwa tile of the Zhonghe Hall not far away.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Wang Qi felt that his heart was instantly much smoother, and after sitting in the official office for a long time, his mind was full of sparse texts, and the depressed boredom in his chest for a long time would make his temperament more and more unprovoked and extreme, and many ministers in the court had such signs, and so on.

"The small imperial dining room is sent to meet the Duke of Lang Guo!"

Just as Wang Qi was standing on the steps admiring the blue above his head, a respectful voice sounded in his ears.

"What?" Wang Qi turned his head to look at the father-in-law, and behind him were a few little eunuchs in green clothes, holding a few food boxes, refreshments and the like.

"Back to my lord's words, today's imperial dining room has made some snacks and side dishes in accordance with the emperor's will, and sent them to Grandpa Guo" The leading imperial dining room steward and eunuch were extremely respectful as soon as they entered the door, and even with a reply, they always lowered their heads and spoke softly.

"In the house," Wang Qi nodded, didn't say anything more, and stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly raised, as if empty.

After receiving Wang Qi's instructions, he immediately turned around and instructed his little eunuchs: "Put the snacks and dishes in the food box into the house, be careful, and don't touch the pen and ink documents in the house."

After a while, a few eunuchs quickly set the dishes and withdrew.

"Grandpa Guo," the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room bowed and said, "The meal has been prepared."

"Well, I'm fine here," Wang Qi nodded, and it was time for him to go back to work.

"Grandpa Guo use it slowly," the eunuch also knew that the gap between him and Wang Qi was too big, and there was no possibility of clinging, as long as he served well, he got instructions, so he bowed down and retreated slowly with a few subordinates.

There are not many dishes in the imperial dining room, but they are exquisite.

Roasted deer tendon, yellow braised shark fin, and a few seasonal fresh vegetables are added, which is a nutritious match.

Wang Qi did not eat immediately, but turned around and walked to his official desk, sat down again, and put pen to paper to approve the paperwork.

At this moment, outside the door of the military office, the little official ran panting: "Report, Liaodong secret!" ”

"Bring it," Wang Qi continued to bow his head and write.

The little official entered the room and put the secret letter in his hand on the table in front of Wang Qi: "Two days ago, it was sent from Liaodong, galloping all the way, and the Chaoyangmen that advanced in a quarter of an hour, and the Donghua Gate where a stick of incense arrived."

With that, he retreated lightly.

Lang Guogong does things and doesn't like people to disturb him.

After reporting his own affairs, if the official does not have any questions, he can leave, which is a rule for doing things in the military department.

After a while, Wang Qi finally stopped writing, first poured a sip of tea, and then reached out to take Liaodong's music.

The scripts from Liaodong, when they pass through the Donghua Gate, have already been verified, and there are generally no problems.

Wang Qi took out the letter paper from it and looked at it.

"Chen Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi is cautious, and the Jurchen activities in Shenyang City have been frequent recently, and there is a tendency to leave the chaos. Daishan eradicates dissidents, a dominant family, internal undercurrents are surging, there seems to be a killing machine, the chaos of the establishment of the state has been completed, and the decline is obvious. Recently, there is Hou Jin Xizuo as my Jinyi Wei secret agent, want to lead my army out, and Hou Jin in advance of the decisive battle outside the Shenyang City Plain, the minister thinks that I should not be moved by the enemy's movements, consolidate the defense line, step by step, and seek maximum benefits, is still my current premise of planning, today I invite the saint, and the court to comment, think so? ”

After a while, Wang Qi put the letter on the table, and there was no expression on his face.

"Jianzhou civil strife, make careful moves, and lead our army out to the battle," Wang Qi leaned back in his chair, his eyes were thinking, and landed on a few small dishes not far away, and the dishes were still steaming.

"Dai Shan wants to divert the contradiction and set his power with a victory!" Wang Qi retracted his gaze and fell on the letterhead from the beginning: "This time, Xiong Tingbi has a long-term vision, there is really no need to be led by the nose, or follow his own plan step by step."

After thinking about it, Wang Qi took up the pen and wrote his opinion on a blank piece of paper: "Take the step by step as the camp and seek the overall situation as the top, and the minister Wang Qi seconded the proposal." ”

After writing, when the ink dries a little, the scribe will paste the note on the back of Xiong Tingbi's song, and present it to the emperor when the time comes, as a reference for Zhu Youxiao.

Every day, the military department approved the note will be presented to the emperor of the apocalypse, different from the previous cabinet draft, the ceremonial supervisor selectively presented the emperor's skin red, now, as long as it is from the military department, no matter how big or small, all must be submitted to the emperor of the apocalypse, after Zhu approved, in triplicate, one is transferred to the military department for the record, one is retained by the ceremonial supervisor, and one is circulated to the major departments of the yamen for specific implementation.

Knock knock knock!!

When the bell rang in Shenshi, the entire courtyard of the military department had been covered with the golden glow of the setting sun, and from a high place, the entire courtyard and the green tiles of the house were covered with a layer of gold dust, which was brilliant and dazzling.

And Wang Qi has also finished a day's official business, left Donghua Gate, and went back to his house in a sedan chair.

"My lord, a letter has arrived from Fan Zhongjin today, and a secret letter from Qin Erbao has also arrived."

At the entrance of the mansion, the servants waited for Wang Qi to get off the sedan chair, and Wang Shouxin reported on the situation in the palace today.

"Just leave me in the study," Wang Qi strode up the steps.

Qin Erbao's letter should have arrived with Xiong Tingbi's recital, and its content should be almost the same.

After a while, after a little washing, Wang Qi came to the study.

Fan Zhongjin's letter was supposed to be a report on Xu Guangqi's fundraising, Wang Qi took out the envelope and sat down in a chair as he read it.

"Fan Zhongjin knocked on the matter of raising funds for the Duke of Guogong going smoothly, in the name of national bonds, borrowing surplus gold and silver from the people, which was widely welcomed, and has raised more than 2 million taels of silver, and there is another thing, Princess Horqin Hailanzhu went south, accompanied by a guard of honor to Qi County, and is expected to arrive in Beijing in ten days."

"Huh?" Wang Qi was still expressionless one second, and the next moment he was already up.

Hai Lanzhu went south privately and came to Beijing to find herself?
