Chapter 517 Deep love for licking the calf
"Fire... artillery! Where do you start talking about this? Is it possible that someone from the Ministry of War is also involved in this matter? How can my son understand what artillery is?"

Shen Yiguan definitely didn't know what Chen Ju was thinking and how the emperor arranged it. But after hearing the word artillery, even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

If it is just smuggling goods into the sea, even if it is possible to sell them to Jurchens and Mongols, it is not too shocking. After all, this kind of business has been going on for more than a year or two, and it has basically never stopped since the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is used to it.

However, artillery and muskets are important weapons of the country, and the frontier army relied on sharp firearms to barely draw a tie with the Mongols and Jurchens. If they also had a large number of artillery, the Ming Dynasty would be on the verge of collapse.

"It is not certain yet, but it is generally true that Yang Lu Zhangtu and Shanxi businessmen secretly colluded with the Jurchens and Koreans, but some details need to be ascertained. Long Live Lord means to stay put for now, and wants Master Shen to secretly Help, find out from the side what these families are busy with recently."

The necessary foreshadowing was basically laid out neatly, and the atmosphere and mood were almost set. Chen Ju stopped making insinuations and directly stated his intention, and then stared at Shen Yiguan's face with a smile on his face.

"...If Shen lives up to His Majesty's trust, my son..."

At this point, Shen Yiguan fully understood that he and his son would become a knife in the hands of others. The emperor wanted to kill these families and the forces behind them, but he was unable to find the source of the information.

Neither Jinyiwei nor Dongchang had the ability to infiltrate so completely and find out the deep information. They could only use Shen Taihong to force them to submit and willingly become a spy.

But it's useless to think about it in my heart. The son is indeed very close to the Tu family. If the Tu family commits a crime, whether the son is considered an accomplice and whether he is really involved in it, it doesn't matter what others say. He can only listen to the emperor. As long as he dares to refuse, it is estimated that his son will not be able to survive and will be taken away by Jin Yiwei tomorrow.

"Long Live Lord intends to re-edit "Yongle Dadian". Although Shen Taihong was not a Jinshi, his literary talent was outstanding. It was more than enough for him to work as a clerk in the Imperial College. It was natural for him to participate in the compilation according to the holy order.

Bachelor Shen, Chen said as a digression, Long live the Lord's methods in order to promote the New Deal were a bit harsh, and he seemed a little disappointed. But don’t forget, since Long Live the Lord came to the throne, he rarely kills people in the palace. Even if we accidentally make a mistake, as long as it is not intentional, we are mostly tolerant.

And the people who follow Mr. Long Live to run the New Deal are not just internal officials like me. There are many people with Jinshi background. Have you ever heard of anyone who was impeached and convicted? In short, Long live the Lord is a sweet-tempered person who misses old friendships.

After you left the court that year, Long live the Lord mentioned more than once the incident of entering the palace to hold a Buddhist feast when he was the prince, without any hint of grudge in his words. The only fault is that you chose the wrong direction and were too greedy. You must not make the same mistake again at this time. "

Looking at Shen Yiguan's trembling lips and bloodshot eyes, Chen Ju seemed to feel the same despair and expectation. At this time, as long as he nodded, the big man who was regarded as the prime minister by Ningbo people would have to bow his head and accept his fate.

But the emperor is more thoughtful. It doesn't matter if you oppose me. As long as you are willing to help me, your son can still continue to be an official. He can also join a team with a high probability of leaving his name in history and do a job that a scholar dreams of. What's this called? tolerant? Generous? Or kindness? None, according to the emperor, this is called courage. Only those who are fully confident and capable can dare to do this.

Killing people is not a skill, killing one's heart is a skill. Keep opponents by your side and let them watch the day-by-day changes not only being unable to stop them, but also participating in them, and then being educated bit by bit by reality. Of course, some people will change their minds, and some people will end up depressed and angry.

"Please follow Shen. Some of His Majesty's entrustments can be answered immediately. Please allow some time for the rest and offer them with both hands!" Shen's consistent reaction was exactly the same as when he firmly opposed Zhang Juzheng. He was simply decisive and saw it. Seize the opportunity immediately and give it your all.

At the moment, he no longer cares about the future of himself and the Shen family. As long as he can get his son out, it will be victory. If the emperor can really fulfill his promise, it will be a huge profit, even if the Shen family cannot gain a foothold in Ningbo or even Zhejiang.

Although the rank of the Imperial College Secretary is not high, it is more stable. With his son's character, it is really suitable for him. As for the re-editing of "Yongle Dadian", Quan should regard it as a lucky draw. If you can get it, it will be better, but if you can't get it, don't expect it. But you still have to work hard. For example, if you complete the tasks ordered by the emperor, it is best to exceed the quota and save more merit for your son.

"Alas...Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds! There are countless evil people in the world, but there are very few who can watch their children suffer without being indifferent. You also have children, including godsons. Be sure to remember what I say today.

Take good care of them, and don't be like Shen Guangyuan, who only waits until absolutely necessary to protect them in every possible way. He is lucky, not everyone can let me forget the blame! "

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the Forbidden City, Emperor Jingyang sat at the end of the long table, looking at the thick secret music in his hand, with an expression on his face that alternated between hot and cold. After a long time, I put it down, looked at Wang An, Zhang Ran, and Li Jinzhong on the left, and then looked at Zhang Yongling, Wang Zhizhen, and Wang Chengen on the right, and started talking about tutoring issues without thinking.

"This slave will obey the holy orders and never forget to restrain his subordinates!" But the emperor's words were not unfounded sighs in everyone's ears. They had all read the secret memorial and understood what Shen Yiguan had sacrificed for Shen Taihong.

Putting myself in his shoes, I wish I could go home quickly and call all my children in front of me to interrogate them one by one to make sure that I have not done anything outrageous and have not made friends with unreliable people. I must not fall into the same trap as Shen Yiyi because of their children. Same situation.

"Well, don't just say it, keep it in your heart, and think about it when you have nothing to do. Okay, let's talk about these families. Li Jinzhong, have you found relevant records in the Dongchang documents? "The emperor didn't pay much attention to everyone's answers. He waved his hand casually, then changed the topic, pointed at the secret music and started to call the names.

"...Long live your forgiveness, I personally led twenty people to search for a whole day and two nights, but still found no clues." Li Jinzhong blinked hard, took a deep breath, and let his brain, which was tortured by staying up all night, feel dazed. Don't stop spinning, get up, leave your seat and kneel down.

"Wang Zhizhen, where is the Imperial Guard?" The emperor waved his hand, motioning Li Jinzhong to return to his seat, and then turned his head to the other side.
