Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 850 It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married!

This conversation lasted until late at night.

Zhang Haogu had private talks with many people.

Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng, Cui Chengxiu, Zhou Yuji, Han Yaowei.
Zhang Haogu communicated with the core and backbone of the Datong Party one by one, and explained many things.

"Duke Ming, go to bed early." Huang Zongxi said with some worry.

Zhang Haogu was stunned for a moment: "What time is it now?"

Huang Zongxi said: "It's more than half of the ugly time."

It was halfway through the ugly hour, and it was already two o'clock in the morning.

"Ah, is it already this hour?" Zhang Haogu smiled and took a sip of the tasteless tea, then got up and moved his body, "It's too rushing, it's just ugly, don't forget the time of Tianqi Dynasty, get busy It's normal to stay up for twelve hours, it's still early, and I can still be busy for a while."

Huang Zongxi sighed: "But Mr. Ming, you should see and talk about it. You have seen and talked about it. Now you have been sitting in the study for half an hour."

Then Zhang Haogu came to a sudden, seeing Huang Zongxi's worried expression, the smile on Zhang Haogu's face changed back to the calmness of ancient well: "It should be seen, and what should be talked about, I really have seen and talked about it all. But why until now, I still feel that there are still many things I haven’t done, and there are still many people I haven’t met?”

"Forget it, it's time to rest. Taichong, you should also rest earlier. You will enter the palace tomorrow."

Many things have been arranged, and new troops from all over the country are being mobilized. At the same time, the members of the Datong Party are also making final arrangements and arrangements. Those who should go to Liaodong, those who should go to Monan and Mobei, those who should go to Southwest Jiaofu, and those who should go to Japanese
At the same time, all the new troops who are willing to stay in Zhili in the north and south must make arrangements for their salary and work arrangements in the future, and those who are willing to go to Liaodong with the Datong Party must make arrangements for their families.

These things are so complicated that it takes a period of time to sort them out, and it takes two or three months to sort them out.

What's more, investment in Liaodong, relocation of factories and relocation of workers, etc. will take time.

During this time, Zhang Haogu should make full use of it.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian came to Zhang Haogu's banquet.

In the Liao Palace, Wei Zhongxian looked left and right, all the way to the garden, and saw Zhang Haogu who was cooking tea.

"How does this mansion feel?" Zhang Haogu asked Wei Zhongxian to sit down.

Wei Zhongxian chuckled: "Speaking of which, the first emperor designed this mansion for Master Zhang. The first emperor designed it, and the old slave supervised the work. The old slave is very familiar with this mansion of the Liao Kingdom."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Yes, I took the lead in moving away in order to refresh the bureaucracy, but I didn't expect to come back here now."

Wei Zhongxian said with some emotion: "This mansion has been repaired, and it is even more magnificent."

"It's a pity that things are different and people are different." Zhang Haogu sighed softly.

The two were silent, watching the spring water boil quietly, and then Zhang Haogu made tea for Wei Zhongxian: "I'm leaving."

"This old slave knows." Wei Zhongxian said.

Zhang Haogu continued: "The emperor can't tolerate me, and he can't tolerate you either."

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "The old slave also knows, but His Majesty still needs the old slave right now."

Zhang Haogu was a little puzzled: "It was you who wanted to step back and wash your hands in the golden basin, but now you are the one who wants to stay. Eunuch Wei, what are you thinking?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "The first emperor entrusted Daming to Master Zhang. Now that Master Zhang is gone, who else can Daming rely on? Anyway, the old slave is the late emperor's great companion. The late emperor has left. How long can the old slave live?" Why don't you stay and accompany the late emperor."

Zhang Haogu said calmly: "Eunuch Wei, do you know why the late emperor forced me to leave?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Master Zhang, you have contributed too much. The ZTE of the Ming Dynasty was almost all made by you and your new party. Nearly half of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were officials of the New Party. All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were soldiers of the New Party. You How could the first emperor not be afraid of you? Even if you have no intentions and want to be a loyal minister, will those under your command be willing?"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "That's right, so I and the first emperor were brothers and sisters for more than ten years, and finally parted ways. It's just like this, now I'm said to be in power, and the emperor fears me to death."

"Then Eunuch Wei, what is the difference between you today and Zhang Haogu?"

Wei Zhongxian chuckled: "What can I do as an eunuch? In the final analysis, this old slave is just the late Emperor's domestic slave."

"Yes, you are the late emperor's domestic slave, not Chongzhen's. Don't forget that you are the chief executive, the pen and palm print of the supervisor of ceremonies, and an ally of me, the living Cao Cao." Zhang Haogu said, pouring another cup The tea was delivered to Wei Zhongxian, "No, a cup of hot tea or a cup of warm tea, which one will Eunuch Wei drink?"

Wei Zhongxian said without hesitation: "It's warm, it's just right for you to drink it, and it's hot enough to burn your mouth."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zhongxian fell silent.

Zhang Haogu drank the warm tea in front of him, and said slowly: "That's right, Eunuch Wei, you are that cup of warm tea, you may be drunk at any time, but I am hot tea, I need to put it aside for a while, and it will be warmed up." , and even cold, the emperor is willing to drink."

Wei Zhongxian finally said: "The old slave is grateful to Master Zhang for still thinking about the old slave at this time, but the old slave doesn't want to leave. Please, Master Zhang, take the old slave's family to Liaodong. The old slave stays and stays with the late emperor."

"Eunuch Wei, do you really think the emperor can let you go?" Zhang Haogu asked.

Wei Zhongxian smiled: "This old slave feels that His Majesty still trusts this old slave very much, and has entrusted this old slave with a heavy responsibility."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Forget it, don't mention this matter. Eunuch Wei, I have another matter that I haven't figured out in my heart."

"Master Zhang has nothing to say directly, and this old slave will definitely not hide it from Master Zhang." Wei Zhongxian said.

Zhang Haogu made tea lightly, watching the green tea soup tumbling in the teacup: "Last year when the late emperor went on a trip last year, he was assassinated and fell into the water in Miyun. I haven't found many traces of this matter. Eunuch Wei may know what?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This matter was done by those landlords and gentry who opposed the New Deal."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Those landlords and gentry who opposed the New Deal did it. Then, Eunuch Wei, where did the spirit drink that you presented to the late Emperor come from?"

Wei Zhongxian was silent.

Zhang Haogu sighed lightly: "Eunuch Wei, all these things can't stand scrutiny, and many things will change taste after scrutiny."

"Let's go, don't stay, if you stay, you will only be taken to worship the flag by Chongzhen."

Wei Zhongxian smiled bitterly: "This old slave really doesn't want to leave."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Then there is nothing to say. I would like to trouble Eunuch Wei to send a message to Concubine Xuanyi and the Queen Mother, saying that Zhang Haogu will go to see them tomorrow."

"The old slave understands." Wei Zhongxian said.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Zhang Haogu didn't have the heart to think about anything else, there were many things waiting for him.

"Ming Gong, Zhang Guozhang and Zhou Guozhang are here." Gu Yanwu said.

Zhang Haogu's eyes lit up: "Oh? You have to greet me."

After all, Zhang Haogu went out to meet Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui.

When Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui saw Zhang Haogu go out to greet him in person, they hurried forward: "How dare you bother Yuan Fu to go out to greet him in person."

"That said, the two of you are older than me. They are elders and have been friends for many years. Why don't you let me go out to greet you after such friendship?" Zhang Haogu smiled and invited them into the palace.

After sitting in the main hall, Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui looked at me and I looked at you, and finally Zhou Kui said: "Yuanfu, our two brothers heard that Liaodong has a lot of coal and iron, and is rich in minerals. It is a good place, and we plan to go to Liaodong for development. develop."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "You have a former emperor and a new emperor, you can say that you will live with the Ming Dynasty and the country, why do you follow me to Liaodong? Zhili's family business is gone?"

Zhang Guoji snorted coldly, with an ugly expression on his face: "No matter how big the family business is, there must be a life. The emperor is mean and ungrateful. I have received news that once you leave Yuanfu, the emperor will kill us to abolish the new policies and new laws. , and by the way use our property and money to enrich his private treasury."

Zhang Haogu narrowed his eyes: "The emperor wants to attack you? You are relatives of the emperor."

Zhou Kui said very bluntly: "Because he is a relative of the emperor, it is easy for the emperor to strike."

"Yuanfu, you also know that the emperor and I have been at loggerheads. No one would have thought that the obsequious and incompetent king would become the emperor of Ming Dynasty today, and he would also drive you away, Yuanfu!"

"This Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of such an unknown emperor. Sooner or later, it will be over. It's better to go to Liaodong with Yuanfu and save the family."

"What's more, we have been labeled as a new party early. When you leave, Yuanfu, how many of these people who are labeled as a new party will be safe and sound, and how many of them will be able to protect their family property?"

Zhang Haogu laughed: "It is a good thing that you two can come to Liaodong. Liaodong is in need of industrial development. With the help of you two, it will be much easier."

Zhang Guoji patted his chest and said: "Yuanfu, don't worry, we will take factories, machines and workers to Liaodong together, and promise to help Yuanfu build up the industry and make Liaodong the next Zhili."

After talking with Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui about how Liaodong will develop in the future, how to develop Liaodong's coal and iron resources, how to build a new industrial base, etc., after showing Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui the future industrial planning of Liaodong, The two of them were even more excited. They originally planned to run to Liaodong with the intention of taking refuge.

But they did not expect that Zhang Haogu was so determined to develop Liaodong, and he developed Liaodong's industry with the mentality of developing the north and south Zhili, and Liaodong's rich coal, iron and forest gold resources would provide sufficient resources for the development of Liaodong. motivation.

In the future, it is completely within reach to build Liaodong into a well-known industrial base throughout the world.

After communicating with Zhang Guoji and Zhou Kui, and they both began to prepare for the relocation of factories and machines, Zhang Haogu found time to enter the palace again.

Speaking of which, Zhang Haogu is the only prince with a different surname in Ming Dynasty, and has the right to establish a government. In the future, the Liao Fan will be a substantive state within a state, belonging exclusively to Zhang Haogu's private kingdom.

In addition, Zhang Haogu still has the privilege of walking on the sword in the palace, worshiping without being famous, and entering the court. The whole palace is open to Zhang Haogu.

And Zhu Youjian heard that after Zhang Haogu entered the palace, his mentality was extremely complicated. He wished to kill the traitor Zhang Haogu directly in the palace, but Zhu Youjian felt that it was more likely that he had just issued the order. With this order, the guards around him are about to attack him.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian can only choose to turn a blind eye, he needs to be patient, and now all the actions of Zhang Haogu indicate that he is going to move, as long as this abominable living Cao Cao moves away, then Daming will be his.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Looking at Zhu Youjian's aggrieved expression, Wang Chengen was a little dazed.

Zhu Youjian watched Zhang Haogu wearing court clothes and heading straight to the harem, ignoring himself, the Great Ming Emperor in the Hall of Martial Heroes, feeling aggrieved, fortunately because Zhang Haogu really planned The reason why he left was not to attack himself, but the reason for being aggrieved was that he thought he was being ignored.

Zhang Haogu didn't take himself as the emperor seriously at all.

In other words, Zhang Haogu, in the eyes of the New Party, himself, the emperor, will never be as good as Zhu Youxiao!
This made Zhu Youjian aggrieved and annoyed, just wait, whether it is Zhang Haogu or the New Party, those who look down on him, just watch and see how I can make the governance of Daming flourish and let Daming really enter the prosperous age , three generations can be expected!

Zhu Youjian is very confident. Although Zhu Youxiao despises himself, Zhang Haogu also despises himself, and even many people in the new party and the old party despise him, but who makes himself the emperor?
Zhu Youjian believes that his talent has been buried.

You looked down on me when I was the King of Xin, but now I am the emperor, the supreme emperor of Ming Dynasty, you should give me some face, right?
Obviously, Zhu Youjian didn't realize why the old party supported him at all. It was not because he had the spirit of a wise king, but simply because there were no other personnel, and it was just because the old party opposed the new party, which was getting stronger and stronger. It doesn't matter if you are the emperor, as long as you don't let the new party continue to expand like this.

So in fact, the internal dispute in Ming Dynasty lies in who will be in power. Not only is the old party unwilling to continue to let the new party develop, but there are also different voices within the new party. This is the key.

And even without him, Zhu Youjian, there would be Zhu Youtan, Zhu Youtama and so on.

This is something Zhu Youjian didn't want to understand at all. Maybe he thought that Daming would never be without the emperor, but in fact, no matter who was missing, the Ming Dynasty would continue to operate as usual, and even without the emperor, it would be safer to operate.

Watching Zhang Haogu go to the harem, Zhu Youjian secretly cheered on himself. It is said in the book, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I must let Zhang Haogu know what it means not to bully the young and poor!
And Zhang Haogu went all the way to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and met with Concubine Xuanyi and Zhang Yan again.

"Master Zhang is here." Concubine Xuan Yi calmly poured tea for Zhang Haogu.

"The minister is leaving, so come and see." Zhang Haogu said.

Concubine Xuanyi said: "Everything is fine in Ai's family, and Queen Mother Zhang is also fine. What does Master Zhang want to see?"

Zhang Haogu said: "It's just a meeting, that's all."

"Then Aijia makes room for Master Zhang." Concubine Xuanyi got up and left silently, leaving only Zhang Haogu and Zhang Yan.

"Why does King Liao see me?" Zhang Yan's attitude was a little calm, even indifferent.

Zhang Haogu sighed softly: "I prefer the Queen Mother to call me Master Zhang. After all, I am not used to it when I suddenly change my name after ten years."

Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Haogu: "Everything is fine with me here, if Master Zhang is here to care about me, a lonely family, there is no need for it."

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty crowned me king and kicked me out of the court. The Ming Dynasty will probably be in chaos. If the queen mother is not comfortable in the palace, she can come to Liaodong."

"No, this Palace of Compassion and Ning is very good, and Master Zhang, don't think that if Daming leaves you, there will be chaos. At the beginning, the first emperor thought that if Daming left him, Jiangshan would change his surname, but now the world is still peaceful. Daming, leave Everyone is Daming." Zhang Yan said.

Zhang Haogu chuckled: "The Queen Mother may have misunderstood me. I'm not saying how important I am. It's just that my eyes have met countless people over the years. Now I can't say they are sharp eyes, but they are almost the same when I look at them. no problem."

"The character of the emperor is that he can't be a conservative king. He wants to change too much, and he has no experience himself. He is stubborn, suspicious, and unpredictable. , Daming can still be extended for another hundred years, but if he insists on going his own way to change, then Daming will definitely be in chaos."

Zhang Yan asked: "Why are you talking about this with me, a woman? My husband and son are gone. Do I still care about this?"

"Zhang Guozhang intends to bring his family to Liaodong with me. If the queen mother is interested, I am willing to take the queen mother to Liaodong and live with my family." Zhang Haogu said.

Zhang Yan glanced at Zhang Haogu in surprise, her expression softened: "Master Zhang has intentions, but I am the Empress Dowager of Daming, the first emperor's wife, I will not leave the capital, this is where I should stay."

"Since this is the case, the minister has nothing to say. I hope the Queen Mother will take care of her. If there is any trouble in the future, please write me a letter. If it can be solved, I will do my best." Zhang Haogu said.

Zhang Yan nodded, turned and left to the apse.

"Master Zhang really is a nostalgic person." Princess Xuanyi appeared in the palace at some point.

Zhang Haogu said: "At the beginning, I and the first emperor were brothers, and the queen mother and my wife were like sisters. My son was born smoothly thanks to the help of the queen mother."

"Speaking of which, I am sorry for the empress dowager, the crown prince, and the first emperor. How can I get rid of the responsibility for the empress dowager, the crown prince, and the first emperor who died of illness one after another. Now I am just doing my best to make up for it and comfort her heart."

Concubine Xuanyi asked: "Then the late emperor entrusted Daming to Master Zhang, and Master Zhang just abandoned it like this?"

Zhang Haogu shook his head: "It's not that I abandoned it, but that Daming doesn't need me now."

Concubine Xuanyi said: "The Ai family can go and persuade the emperor."

Zhang Haogu said: "The imperial concubine should understand the character of the emperor. Persuasion is useless, but the concubine herself will be in danger. There is no need to persuade me about this matter. Since the emperor wants me to go and the officials want me to go, Then I'll go."

"It's Daming who is sorry for Master Zhang, but the Ai family is just pretending to be affectionate." Princess Xuanyi laughed.

"It's getting late, I have to go." Zhang Haogu stood up and bid farewell to Concubine Xuanyi.

Concubine Xuanyi suddenly stopped Zhang Haogu: "Master Zhang, if one day Daming loses the hearts of the world, what will you do?"

Zhang Haogu paused for a moment, and replied: "I have already told the late emperor about this question, and Zhang Baorui will always stand by the people of the world."
