Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 101 Jiajing Adds Another Burden

Wang Daoqiu left, chatting and laughing with Lu Fang. The close relationship was like his own relatives, which made Xu Jie behind him completely confused.

Nima!When he entered the palace gate, the guard in Jinyi who was guarding the gate not only came over to verify his identity in an arrogant manner, but also treated him as a "master".It's incredible enough for the Jin Yiwei to "pretend to be a grandson" to such a newcomer who has just entered the officialdom.Now, things are even more incredible!Lu Fang, the dignified internal minister and chief minister of ceremonies, saw him, and the two of them got along like brothers.This, this, did I get up too early today and haven’t woken up yet?

Facing Wang Daoqiu and Lu Fang's walking away from each other, Xu Jie doubted his life and his current mental state.

Hi!With a sigh, Xu Jie finally accepted his fate and lowered his head to help Wang Daoqiu handle personnel procedures.

Not to mention Xu Jie's disappointment here, when Wang Daoqiu entered the Longevity Palace, he saw Lu Bing and Tao Zhongwen here.As soon as he saw Lu Bing and Tao Zhongwen, Wang Daoqiu hurriedly went up to greet them.

Lu Bing was also very happy to see Wang Daoqiu. He came over and patted Wang Daoqiu on the shoulder to greet him.After the polite words, Lu Bing said: "The Emperor has some matters over there. He will come out later and have breakfast with us. By the way, Zhuangyuanlang, Lu has already taken over the Tongzhou Pier as you said. All the inns and warehouses have been taken over. Now a large warehouse covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres, a trading market covering an area of ​​more than 900 acres, and an inn with more than [-] rooms have been built there. The buildings and The roads and everything have been repaired, and a date has been chosen to open in three days. Zhuangyuanlang, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, can you accompany Mr. Lu to check it out and help Mr. Lu with the check again? "

"Okay, Mr. Lu, if the emperor doesn't have any errands this afternoon, I'll go over and help you take another look."

"Okay, okay, Lu absolutely trusts the No. [-] Scholar's vision, so I'll trouble the No. [-] Scholar."

"It should be, it should be."

When building a business center, Lu Bing was the first lady to get on the sedan chair. Although he knew the huge business opportunities, he was still unsure and wanted Wang Daoqiu to help him check it again.

It can be said that in the past few months, Wang Daoqiu's briquettes, steel plants, Baiyunguan pharmaceuticals, and sulfur glass production have made huge profits every day.This gave Lu Bing a religious worship for Wang Daoqiu's earning power.So only Wang Daoqiu went to see it and said it could make money, so Lu Bing felt relieved.

While Wang Daoqiu and Lu Bing were discussing the time to make money, Tao Zhongwen, an old Taoist, heard about the money. He also hurriedly acted like an honest elder and said to Wang Daoqiu: "Fellow Taoist, I haven't seen you for a few days. What do you want to know?" You are an experienced Taoist. If you have time, please invite more fellow Taoists to come and sit in my White Cloud Temple."

"Oh! Immortal Master, since I left Baiyun Temple last time, I was busy with the scientific examination. Later, I was sent by His Majesty to build a steel plant. I was so busy that my feet could not touch the ground. I actually neglected the Immortal Master. It is a capital crime."

"There is no way. My Taoist friends are as kind as mountains to my Taoist sect. Everyone in my Taoist sect is grateful. I just don't know if there is anything else that my Taoist friends can teach me about the Taoist sect?"

Is there anything you can teach me about Taoism?When Tao Zhongwen asked this question, he certainly didn't want Wang Daoqiu to go to the Taoist temple to preach and preach. His "what" must also refer to economic issues.Wang Daoqiu could still hear the twists and turns here.

So as soon as Tao Zhongwen finished speaking, Wang Daoqiu pointed to the window of the Longevity Palace and said: "Master Immortal, I see the sulfur glass products on the market. All you sell are bottles and jars and glass mirrors. The market is too popular." It’s too narrow. Look, Master Immortal, what do you think would happen if these window papers were replaced with transparent sulfur glass?”

"Who is planning on building my Longevity Palace?"

Tao Zhongwen suggested that Wang Daoqiu help him find a way to make money, and Wang Daoqiu suggested that he make glass windows.But as soon as Wang Daoqiu finished speaking, and before Tao Zhongwen had time to answer, Emperor Jiajing came out and questioned Wang Daoqiu pretending to be angry.

Seeing Emperor Jiajing coming out, Wang Daoqiu, Lu Bing, and Tao Zhongwen hurriedly went up to salute.Facing the salutes of the three people, Emperor Jiajing flicked his long sleeves and said casually: "That's all."

After saying this, Emperor Jiajing looked at Wang Daoqiu with a playful expression, and said jokingly: "You are getting more and more courageous. You dare to even attack my Wanshou Palace. Do you want me to , reward you to Zhang Aiqing, and let him take you to Annan for peacekeeping! To tell you the truth, on the way back from Nanjian River yesterday, Zhang Aiqing begged me for you several times. How about you, kid, follow Zhang Aiqing? How many years will you stay in Annan?" "You can stay in Annan for as many years as you want. Your Majesty, please don't scare me. I have heard that everything in Annan grows all year round, and fruits are constantly growing, and there is no cold winter yet. It is a good place. .”

"What? You brat, you dare to talk to me? Okay, okay, okay, then Wang Aiqing, I congratulate you. From now on, you will join the army under Zhang Lao Aiqing. And when Jiaozhi Province is established in the future, I will give you another favor and let you be the first governor of Jiaozhi. Wang Aiqing, what do you think of this?"

"Your Majesty Daoqiu, I would like to thank you for your kindness."

I knew that Emperor Jiajing was just teasing me as a child. Since Emperor Jiajing treated me as a child, I would act like a stubborn child.Anyway, I am only eighteen this year, so being a jerk will not only not make Emperor Jiajing think twice, but will actually make Emperor Jiajing get closer to me.So Wang Daoqiu was chosen to play the second young boy. As soon as Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, he immediately knelt down to thank him.

He was obviously trying to scare this boy, but the boy was so scared that he was so uncooperative that he actually attacked his own army, which made Emperor Jiajing very angry.So when Wang Daoqiu finished thanking him, Emperor Jiajing, regardless of his image, went up to Wang Daoqiu, punching, kicking and scolding him.At this moment, Wang Daoqiu also pretended to cooperate with Emperor Jiajing, curling up into a ball on the ground and letting Emperor Jiajing enjoy himself.

Anyone who has been in the officialdom knows that if someone's big boss beats and scolded you regardless of his demeanor, he is treating you as one of his own, and you will have a bright future in the future.And if the leader is always polite to you, always very graceful in front of you, and pays attention to his own image.Then you are screwed. Under this leader, you will never make progress in the future.Because in the officialdom, if the leader is polite to you, he is treating you as an outsider.

Precisely because he understood the ways of the officialdom, Wang Daoqiu, who was being beaten at the moment, still felt very mean in his heart, hoping that Emperor Jiajing would punch him more and kick him more. The leader would be happy, and he would have more in the future. Future?

The despicable Wang Daoqiu huddled on the ground and received countless beatings from Emperor Jiajing before Emperor Jiajing stopped panting and angrily said, "I've always been too spoiled to you, but now you've really rebelled against me. You dare to follow me?" I'm speechless. Okay, okay, Annan, don't go. From now on, you will follow Lu Fang and help him review the documents submitted by the cabinet."

After saying these words to Wang Daoqiu, Emperor Jiajing turned to Lu Fang and said: "Lu Fang, this boy will be under your control from now on. When the cabinet sends the red papers, you let this boy review them first. If you haven't read the day's papers, you are not allowed to do so. Let this kid go back."

"promise"

Damn it!He had just become the general secretary and had the right to decide which memorials could be sent to Emperor Jiajing for approval.Now all of a sudden, the right to make suggestions for "criticizing" has been added. This kind of power has come too easily. How can I explain this!

Wang Daoqiu sighed there that power came too easily.But what he didn't know was that last time he performed "Spiritual Talisman Flying to the Sky" and "Passenger's Order from Heaven" in Baiyun Temple.The major events in April of the 26th year of Jiajing were recorded in the "Edicts from Heaven": Sichuan's rebellion against Baicao and Mongolia's request for tribute.Both of these things have been fulfilled now. The battle report from Sichuan was sent five days ago, and my application for tribute was sent by the Lifan Yuan yesterday.

Yesterday, when Emperor Jiajing came back from Nanjianhe and saw the tribute letter from An Da on his imperial case, he was shocked.Still not sure, I went to check it out.
Hidden little notebook.

The content of Wang Daoqiu's "Declaration from Heaven" that he recorded in his notebook last year is indeed: In April of the 26th year of Jiajing, Sichuan rebelled against Baicao, and Mongolia asked for tribute.What is going to happen this year was already known last year. If this is not a god, what is it?
So now Emperor Jiajing has no doubts about Wang Daoqiu, the original Tianzun's disciple who can connect to the upper world.He also strengthened his belief that Wang Daoqiu was the messenger sent by God to take him to heaven in the future.

That's why Emperor Jiajing will not let Wang Daoqiu be released as an official now!He had to let Wang Daoqiu be by his side, and let Wang Daoqiu's spiritual energy pass on to him more. When one day he reaches the level of cultivation, he would go to heaven with Wang Daoqiu to become gods.

Wang Daoqiu didn't know the two little tricks he did in Baiyun Temple that day, and directly deceived Emperor Jiajing into Fan Wei.Anyway, men, who would find it too powerful?

So after Emperor Jiajing secretly gave the "reward", Wang Daoqiu was busy "thanking the Lord for his kindness".

After a harmless joke, Wang Daoqiu, Lu Bing, and Tao Zhongwen accompanied Emperor Jiajing to have breakfast.
