Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 35

Zhu Tianqi was happy to see that the two of them got along well. If the two of them couldn't get along, I'm afraid there would be many twists and turns in this errand.

"In addition, because your trip south this time involves a lot of property, and the errands you two are on are of great importance, so in addition to your respective men, I have also arranged for you to have thirty royal guards for the two of you to dispatch. , when you have finished selling your things and want to go your separate ways, you can each take fifteen guards and go on your errands!"

After hearing this, both of them couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, this "Jin Yiwei" was no different from others. The emperor arranged for them to work together with the Jin Yiwei on errands. It can be understood that this is the emperor's unique favor for them, and it can also be understood that the emperor has given them a unique favor. This is sending people to monitor them.

But no matter what, as long as you handle your errands well, you will naturally be upright and not afraid of slanting shadows. There is nothing to worry about even if you are surrounded by Jin Yiwei.

Thinking of this, the two of them saluted and thanked each other in unison.

"Chen, thank the Emperor Longen!"

"Sir, thank Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhu Tianqi then waved to Wang Yuanbao, and Wang Yuanbao came over with a tray. On it was a token with gold paint on both sides - a recording pen, with the words "I am here in person" written on it.

Zhu Tianqi instructed Wang Yuanbao to hand the tokens to Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Guoji, and said: "Just in case, I will give each of you an imperial order. If you really encounter something that cannot be solved, you can use this order to summon Local officials are cooperating to deal with it, especially you, the father-in-law. Annan is currently in civil strife. If necessary, you can mobilize the capital commanders from Guangdong and Guangxi to send troops to escort money and food!"

"I have noted it down!" Both of them carefully put away the imperial order and nodded in salute.

Zhu Tianqi then did not forget to tell him: "The imperial order I gave you is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. When you need to ask for the imperial order, just take off the outer shell. Of course, unless you have to, It’s best not to take off the shell at will!”

Both of them took a look at the imperial order in their hands. Indeed, the imperial order seemed to have a shell surrounding the core inside, which was divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The structure was so exquisite that you couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.

After Zhu Tianqi finished explaining the matter, he continued: "When you go south this time, just take the water transport route of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. I have ordered people to arrange ships for you. You can go directly to Jinyiwei to pick up people later. Also, the miscarriages confiscated from the eunuchs are also stored in Jinyiwei's warehouse. You can just ask Jinyiwei's people to help you carry them onto the ship!
The errands of both of you are very important, so without further delay, you go back and make some arrangements, and then choose a day to set off as soon as possible! "

After hearing this, the two of them immediately stood up and saluted: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have made all preparations and can leave for the south in the next two days!"

"Okay, in that case, I'm relieved. You two can go about your errands. I won't keep you any longer!" Zhu Tianqi nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking nonsense.

Zhang Guoji and Sun Yuanhua nodded solemnly, bowed and excused themselves, exited Qianqing Palace together, and went to Jinyiwei together.

After arranging the errands for Zhang Guoji and Sun Yuanhua, Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but let out a long breath, but it was not time to relax yet. Zhu Tianqi immediately raised his hand and ordered Wang Yuanbao: "Go and notify the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. , sort out all the tax and military pay files in recent years, and also inform Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, to come to the palace to discuss matters in the afternoon!"

Wang Yuanbao nodded and took note of Zhu Tianqi's words, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard the last part, and reminded: "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Chengzong is not the Minister of the Ministry of War yet!" Zhu Tianqi also couldn't help being stunned, and raised his hand to rub his temples. , "Really? I'm confused again. I just told him last time that we would make arrangements together when Yuan Chonghuan arrives. Yuan Chonghuan hasn't arrived yet, so I have forgotten about it. You can draft an edict now to confer the title of Sun Chengzong." Become the Minister of the Ministry of War and be promoted to the Grand Bachelor of Zhongji Palace. Go!"

"Your maid obeys the order!" Wang Yuanbao responded, and hurried down to make arrangements.

Zhang Guoji and Sun Yuanhua chatted while walking. Sun Yuanhua had heard of Zhang Guoji. After all, Zhang Guoji was the father of the country and the father of the queen. However, Zhang Guoji was not very familiar with Sun Yuanhua. He had heard of the name, but he had no impression of it. .

"Shilang Sun has been serving in Liaodong before. Being transferred back to Beijing this time can be regarded as a high promotion!"

After hearing this, Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is not a high promotion for Sun. His previous job has been lost a long time ago. Sun has been idle at home for several months. Thanks to the emperor's grace, he was able to return to the capital and contribute to the court.

The story about Sun is also interesting to talk about. In the previous Ningjin victory, those of us who worked hard on the front line were dismissed from our posts. On the contrary, the scum of the eunuch party were rewarded and given official positions one by one. It was really frustrating. Ah, fortunately His Majesty the Emperor has dealt with these scum! "

When Zhang Guoji heard this, he suddenly felt a little more friendly. He cupped his hands to Sun Yuanhua and said, "It turns out that Mr. Sun was also harmed by the eunuchs. In this way, we can be considered to be in the same boat!"

After listening to Sun Yuanhua's words, Zhang Guoji became more thoughtful. He had long heard that the emperor once wrote a list of only four people, and specifically asked Wang Yuanbao to summon the people on the list to the capital. It turned out that This Sun Yuanhua turned out to be one of them. He must have a bright future, so it would be better to get closer to him. Maybe this Master Sun will join the cabinet in the future!

Naturally, Sun Yuanhua had heard about Zhang Guoji, and he couldn't help but smile and cup his hands, "That's right, that's right. Sun is very lucky to be able to partner with the abbot of the country!"

Zhang Guoji, however, quickly waved his hand: "Master Sun, you're welcome. Don't call me 'Guozhang' or anything like that. You and I are similar in age. If Master Sun doesn't mind, we can treat each other as brothers in private!"

Naturally, Sun Yuanhua didn't mind getting closer to Zhang Guoji. He immediately agreed and saluted, "Then Sun will call you Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Guoji also smiled and said in return: "Brother Sun, you're welcome!"

After this, the two became more familiar with each other, and they no longer had so many scruples when talking. Zhang Guoji was more straightforward than Sun Yuanhua, and he immediately expressed his complaints: "Brother Sun, what are you saying? What do you think, Your Majesty? You and I were both in the army before, so you are asking two rough guys to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to do business. This is not a joke!"

It would be true to say that Zhang Guoji is a rough man, but he cannot be counted as a soldier. He made his fortune by relying on his daughter, Queen Zhang. Although he has been serving as a military attache in Beijing, he has never participated in military marches. of.

As for Sun Yuanhua, although he has served in Liaodong for a long time, he is a scholar, and he is also a high-level talent who is proficient in Western learning and can build artillery. He is not a rough man.
