People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 272 Lan Yu: I really deserve to die! I slandered others, but they recommended me to be the Governor of the Navy

Lan Yu was surprised when she heard what her colleagues said.

Because he himself was embarrassed to ask Chen Han to say nice things to him.

There is no other reason than that his reckless brutality last time left a lot of trouble for himself.

During the past two years of closed-door thinking, he also discovered why the civil servants had been holding on to him all these years.

Even though he has made so many contributions to the court and the world.

He believed that these officials should support themselves just like their ancestors.

But on the contrary, the officials would pursue him for even the slightest mistake, which made him very angry.

So much so that he chose to resist by fighting with officials.

But after these two years, he reflected and discovered that,

The officials wanted him to be able to fight and abide by dogma, which he hated, but this was the rule of officialdom.

He originally thought that Chen Han, as his junior, would have to give himself face if he begged him.

But Chen Han not only didn't give him face, but also persuaded him not to be arrogant and domineering.

If you are too arrogant and domineering, you will definitely cause trouble, and someone will definitely want to mess with you.

At that time, he went back to Huaixi Wenwu, and it was difficult for him to explain.

He had previously vowed that he would be able to defeat Chen Han and that Chen Han would be able to reduce Huaixi's talent in civil and military affairs.

But this goal was not achieved, and he resented Chen Han for this, so he said on many public occasions that Chen Han and I had no words.

But he didn't expect that Chen Tang would actually speak for him in the court today.

After thinking for a long time, Lan Yu asked: "Did he really say that?"

Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi immediately replied: "General, it's true, all of us are shocked.

I think he doesn't have a good impression of you at least.

After all, we had a bad time before, and you even slandered Duke Qian in public many times.

Everyone thought that anyone would help you but it couldn't be him.

But it was he who, in front of His Highness, argued against all opinions and said that you are the most suitable candidate for the Navy Governor. "

After hearing this, Lan Yu put down his chopsticks. He was already in his forties and a tough guy who had fought on the battlefield. Logically speaking, he would not be emotional.

But this time, the string in his heart was really touched.

Maybe it's because I've been left out in the cold these past two years.

Or maybe it's because after he reflected on it, he discovered that there was indeed something wrong with his behavior.

He has accepted that he may end up in the field and be unable to do anything in his life.

Unexpectedly, Chen Han, a young boy who lived in the same city in the past two years and was such a close relative, would never take the initiative to see Chen Han, nor did they move between them.

But Chen Han actually defended himself and His Highness the Crown Prince and argued with officials.

The Commander-in-Chief Zuo of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion even said directly, "None of us expected that Duke Qian not only spoke for you, but when faced with the civil officials' distrust of you, he was even willing to use his own power directly in front of all the civil and military officials. The dukedom of the country guarantees it for you."

Lan Yu was even more surprised when she heard this, "He really did it to this extent?"

"No, all the officials in the court were stunned at that time, and you and His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't believe it. Not to mention that you thought it was unbelievable, we also thought it was really strange.

Logically speaking, if you are so disrespectful to him and say so many bad things about him in front of so many people, he should be adding insult to injury to you.

But he is so generous. To be honest, we admire this young man very much.

General, let's just say a few words in front of you in this room. The things you did before were really unethical.

Everyone can see that His Majesty's punishment for you in the past two years is just to sharpen your spirit, and sooner or later you will use it.

But I really didn't expect that I could give you such a heavy responsibility - the Governor of the Navy.

I heard that now the seven shipping companies of our Ming Dynasty are open to the public at the same time. From the East in the south, the Li family in the north, and even more countries in the west are coming to our Ming Dynasty to do business by ship.

The pirates along the coast went crazy. It is said that they robbed three merchant ships and killed hundreds of sailors in one day.

These things caused panic among the people on the sea.

You know those people who do business, when they see benefits, they are like dogs seeing shit, and they go crazy to grab it.

But because of this pirate, the trouble is that our Ming merchant ships dare not leave the port, and overseas merchant ships dare not come to Ming Dynasty.

Under this situation, millions of businessmen hoped that the imperial court would take a heavy blow against pirates.

With so many people's expectations, the imperial court must send a heavyweight commander.

Looking at our Ming Dynasty, as Duke Qian said, no one is qualified to command the navy, no one is qualified to command the navy, only you, General Lan Yulan. "

The words of Governor Zuo of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion made Lan Yu's blood boil and her eyes filled with enthusiasm.

He picked up the wine glass and looked around at the generals around him, then stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.

Then he smashed the wine glass.

"I, Lan Yugou, have lived half my life and I have a clear conscience. But today I want to tell you that I am ashamed of Chen Han regarding this matter.

If I become this naval governor, if I can't kill those dog pirates to pieces, I'll write the two characters "Lanyu" upside down. "

Liang Guogong Lan Yu, you can see his unruly nature when you read the history books, it is obvious to all.

To put it bluntly, in his eyes, except for the emperor and the prince, no one could fall into his eyes.

Even the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di who came later was, in his eyes, a rebel with thoughts of rebellion.

Just such a person, now he actually admires Chen Han.

It can be seen how powerful Chen Han's personal charm is now.

……

Chen Han returned to the mansion. Princess Jiangdu came over.

Seeing her worried look, Chen Han asked, "Madam, what's the matter? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

After Princess Jiangdu fidgeted for a long time, she sat across from Chen Han and poured him a cup of tea first.

Then he said: "Husband, I went out recently and saw construction going on in full swing outside. People are building red brick houses and installing glass. They are in full swing.

I've also heard you say that the Confucian Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Virtues have been criticized to a great extent by outsiders. I have an idea. "

Princess Jiangdu spoke cautiously. Chen Han saw this and took a sip of tea, "Madam, I asked you why you are so coy today. If you have anything to say, just tell me.

If you really want to start a career, I support it. "

How could Chen Han not hear it? Princess Jiangdu just stayed at home and was busy.

Originally, her temperament was not someone who could live idle.

Not only is he lively and active, he is also quite aggressive. How could she stay in the house embroidering all day long?

Princess Jiangdu no longer hesitated, "Husband, I will make it clear.

I'm thinking, since you are carrying out reforms, you can't just let men go out to work and women can only stay at home.

I have seen that many women actually have some talents. Whether it is building houses or building roads, those female workers also contribute a lot.

After the two little girls were killed in the couch room outside Sanshan Gate, you established a shrine to honor them.

This has allowed many women to see the opportunity to start a career with men.

Let us not consider asking them to take the imperial examination, which is too much.

Didn’t you also set up a women’s college in the College of Engineering, with three to four hundred female students taking classes there?

I also want to take classes. Of course, I not only want to take classes, I also want to organize some female workers to set up a new textile factory and start our own textile industry. "

Chen Han was stunned, "Aren't there shuttle imitation looms and Hongwu spinning machines now? Do you still need to do it by hand, piece by piece?"

Princess Jiangdu replied: "You don't know this. You use Hongwu spinning looms and flying shuttle looms to weave cheaper cotton that the common people are willing to buy.

What we are planning to do is Shu brocade and Su brocade that the rich and powerful are willing to use. "

Chen Han looked at her: "Even Su Jin and Shu Jin have dedicated people to do this, so why do you want to participate?

If you don't want to be a good supervisory princess, or a good wife of a duke, you want to be a female worker? "

Princess Jiangdu blushed, "I am also free, and at the same time, I am also thinking that when we come out to do things, it is not just as simple as doing things, but also to send a signal.

Just like what you wrote in the 23rd issue of Daming Engineering College Newspaper, a single spark can start a prairie fire. If we take the lead here, more women will be able to come out to do things in the future.

You also said that the social atmosphere needs to change little by little. In the era you lived in, women could already take charge of their own affairs.

But in the Ming Dynasty, even if women had to work, they did so secretly and did not dare to act openly.

I was just thinking, if you want to reform at a large level,

Whether it's opening up the shipping industry, bringing in overseas businessmen, or building factories to improve the lives of all of us, that's what you men do.

But we little ladies can also make changes in our ordinary lives.

A woman must never be allowed to spend her whole life caring for her husband and raising children. Some women also have the world in mind, and they also have strategies like sleeping with dragons and phoenixes, don't you think so? "

Chen Han smiled. In fact, this is the awakening of women.

This has happened a lot in recent times.

As Princess Jiangdu said, men can transform society on a macro level.

Be it a cultural movement or a mechanical revolution.

Women, on the other hand, transform the social atmosphere at a micro level.

This is also where everyone performs their duties.

It seems that my wife, even in the mansion, can see the outside world through the Daming Engineering College newspaper now run by Chen Han.

Chen Han thought for a long time, "Then if you really want to do this, I can support you, but you can do it when you can move freely after giving birth, and you must not do it with a big belly.

This is our first child. You don’t want him to get hurt, right? "

After receiving Chen Han's reply, Princess Jiangdu finally showed a smile.

"Look, you said I am his mother, what else can I do to him?"

After the couple reached an agreement, Chen Han added, "By the way, I plan to invite Duke Liang to the mansion for dinner tomorrow."

Princess Jiangdu was quite surprised after hearing Chen Han's words.

She thought of her great-uncle two years ago, who obviously wanted to treat her and her husband to dinner.

But at the dinner table, they thought about asking Chen Han to let them go for personal gain.

Chen Han refused, which resulted in my uncle not even visiting the house once in the past two years despite living so close to him.

It can be seen that my uncle looks like a commander-in-chief, but in fact he is very small-minded.

Unexpectedly, Chen Han would take the initiative to let Duke Liang eat at home this time, which surprised Princess Jiangdu.

"You don't want to ask him to do anything, do you? He has been living in the capital for the past two years."

Chen Han shook his head: "I'm not asking him to do anything. I am recommending him to become the Navy Governor. Do you want to see what his opinion is?"

Princess Jiangdu felt that she had heard wrongly.

"What? You recommend my uncle to be the naval governor?" Princess Jiangdu was really surprised.

You know how delicious that meal was two years ago. Princess Jiangdu even thought that the two of them would break off their friendship because of that meal.

Later facts also proved his guess.

Because of this incident, Lan Yu ignored herself for two years.

But today, after two years, her husband actually recommended Lan Yu to be the naval governor.

"Husband, you have to think clearly. My uncle is not bad at ability, but he is also good at causing trouble. If you recommend him, you will be blamed for any trouble he causes." Princess Jiangdu still stood relatively on the side. On my husband's side.

Although my uncle is also a relative, compared with my husband, what does that mean?

Chen Han understood Princess Jiangdu's worries: "So I have to speak clearly during dinner tomorrow and find out his attitude. If his attitude is not bad, then recommend him. If he still looks arrogant and rude, then forget it. Yes, how's it going?"

Princess Jiangdu nodded: "Yes! Husband, I listen to you."

……

noon the next day.

Outside Chen Han's Duke's Mansion.

Lan Yu got off the carriage and looked at Chen Han's mansion not far away with a complicated mood.

Speaking of which, his residence is not far from Chen Han's residence. It only takes half an hour to walk.

But in the past two years of living so close to each other, they have never moved around.

Last night he received an invitation from Chen Han, saying that he would be invited to have a banquet, which made him feel very complicated.

There was shame and emotion in this.

In the past two years in the capital, I have experienced what it means to be warm and welcoming.

When they are proud, many officials are eager to come to their mansion every day to pay their respects.

But once he stepped down from the position of general, his doorstep could be said to be empty and deserted.

He thought that no one in the capital could remember him except his old comrades and subordinates who still remembered him.

But I didn't expect that Chen Han would still remember him.

He even went so far as to defy all opinions in the court and use his title as Duke of the Kingdom to vouch for himself. Lan Yu was deeply moved by this friendship.

When he slowly walked to Chen Han's mansion, he saw that the middle door of Chen Han's mansion had been opened, and Chen Han was standing at the door. Princess Jiangdu, with her big belly, was also standing at the door, looking at it with a smile. Looking at him...
