golden scales

"Qin Governor wants 2 people?" Zhu Cihong shook the letter paper.

"When the supervisor is away, it is always necessary to report more." Feng Yuanbiao said: "As long as 1 people can be allocated, Qin Du should be content with it."

"Then give him [-]." Zhu Cihong put the letter back into the envelope, and said, "Tell him not to send troops in before the reinforcements arrive."

"I'm afraid..." Feng Yuanbiao showed embarrassment: "I'm afraid there must be an imperial decree."

"Is there no other way for this soldier to think about it?" Zhu Cihong knew that the release of strategic decisions required the approval of the emperor, otherwise, who could bear such a huge responsibility?However, Ming Dynasty is an institutional society, and every link is full of unspoken rules.Although some of these unspoken rules are theft of public interests for private use, some of them have become lubricants and conveniences for the operation of society.

Feng Yuanbiao thought for a while, and said: "You can send an official document from the Ministry of War, and then send a private letter to Governor Qin, advising him not to fight lightly." After finishing speaking, his chest suddenly twitched, and he couldn't help coughing.

Zhu Cihong had long heard that Feng Yuanbiao declined due to serious illness when he took up the post of minister of the Ministry of War, but the emperor refused and sent an imperial doctor to treat him, so he took over.Now that he coughed like this after only a few words, it seemed that he was really struggling.His Majesty the Emperor changed people too quickly, and the prudent old ministers like Feng Yuanbiao already left one less.

Newcomers like Chen Yan, who just released Shi Brown during the Chongzhen period, can now join the cabinet and take charge of the government.Facts have proved that without the tempering of time, there is simply not enough fame and courage to take on the family property of Daming.

"This soldier should also pay attention to his body." Zhu Cihong said: "I have a friend, although not well-known, but he is indeed a master of Chinese medicine. If this soldier is willing, I will invite him to the residence for a visit?"

"How dare you!" Feng Yuanbiao hastily resigned.

"His medical skills are very good, and it's worth a try." Zhu Cihong heard that Feng Yuanbiao was not resolute in his refusal, so he made a decision for him, turned his head and whispered to Tian Cunshan: "Remind me later."

"Maidservant, go talk to General Yu?" Tian Cunshan flattered him.

Yu Changyu Jiayan was the first general in the Eastern Palace system, and his own medical skills were really superb, so when Tian Cunshan heard Zhu Cihong say "the master of Chinese medicine", he immediately thought of him.

"I'll go and talk to him myself." Zhu Cihong frowned slightly.Since he promised to treat Yu Chang generously, how could he be regarded as a customer under his door, who would come and go when he was recruited?For this kind of outpatient visit, it is natural to ask Yu Chang first, and then Yu Chang decides the time himself.

In particular, there is still the matter of Tianjin's epidemic prevention right now. The Qingshan Doctor and the Military Justice Department are the main force in this epidemic prevention battle.Yu Chang also had to give lectures on medicine, carry out the three-level assessment of doctors, doctors, and nurses at the same time, and improve the system of specialist doctors according to the prince's advice. He was really busy.As for visiting the doctor in person, it was already very far away for him.

At this moment, Feng Yuanbiao really felt that talking with His Royal Highness was like a spring breeze, and his whole body was warm, and even his cough improved a lot.When people are old, their emotions tend to get out of control. Even after so many years of polishing in the officialdom, there are still times when they can't control their mouths.He said: "The veteran knows that he is about to die, if there is an urgent need, please recommend Li Banghua and Shi Kefa to be in charge of the center."

Zhu Cihong secretly said in his heart: Li Banghua wants to master the Metropolitan Procuratorate for me, but Shi Kefa doesn't know how capable he is yet, so we have to wait and see.

"Why should this soldier be so depressed, let's talk about it when he recovers from his illness." Zhu Cihong comforted him.

Feng Yuanbiao was in a good mood, and thanked him again.

Zhu Cihong got the promise from the Minister of War, and he felt very comfortable.He knew that his father wanted Qin Bing to rush in, and now he was in contact with the ministers, making a voice that was completely different from the holy will, and it seemed that he had already taken the first step to form a party.But now, how can we still take care of so many things?Just like there are no antibiotics and disinfectant water in this era, shouldn't surgery be performed?Only the living will be infected!

Just when Feng Yuanbiao was about to leave, someone suddenly reported that Zhang Fengxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had an urgent military report and wanted to submit it to Shangshu Feng Yuanbiao.

"Let him in." Zhu Cihong said.

Zhang Fengxiang had just participated in the matchmaking on the platform, so he did not raise such a sensitive issue as the Prince's wish, "Private Conquest".He still doesn't know that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has gradually fallen into the prince's control. With the help of those censors, even if he doesn't mention it, some people will mention it. It can be said that this servant has wasted an opportunity in vain.

As soon as Zhang Shilang came out of the palace, he bumped into the book office in the Ministry, who came to deliver the Luoyang Military News to Feng Shangshu.Zhang Fengxiang checked the sealing wax seal on the military newspaper, signed the receipt, and sent it to the palace in person.Sure enough, he seized the opportunity, at least he could get acquainted with the prince.

"What's the matter with Governor Qin?" Zhu Cihong had to respect Feng Yuanbiao's authority, and Shang Shu unpacked and inspected it first.

After reading it, Feng Yuanbiao did not speak, and presented Sun Chuanting's memorial to Zhu Cihong, saying: "This is the book of the Qin governor killing two birds with one stone."

Zhu Cilang took the military report, glanced at ten lines, his heart was shaking, and immediately asked: "Is this statement true?"

Feng Yuanbiao thought for a while and said: "Whether Qiu Zhitao is the son of Qiu Shilang, you should check with Qiu Shilang. Li Zhensheng, the inspector censor, is known as a clean and honest official. When Chengtian fell, the governor Song Yihe himself, the commander-in-chief Qian Zhongxuan died, originally there were rumors that he fell into the hands of thieves, scolded the thieves and died, only now do we know that he is still alive."

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, and said: "If there is a follow-up to this matter, please let me know."

Feng Yuanbiao nodded slightly.

What Sun Chuanting said in this military newspaper is that he has won the trustworthiness of the puppet officials Qiu Zhitao and Li Zhensheng, and is willing to be an internal response.This will increase the emperor's confidence in Qin soldiers going south, consolidate his position as Qin governor, and gain more trust.At the same time, there is no exception between the lines: the current situation is not bad, and we can fight, but if reinforcements do not come, that great opportunity will have to be missed.

One is self-esteem, and the other is asking for help, so Feng Yuanbiao said that Sun Chuanting killed two birds with one stone.

"It's really difficult for a supervisor who is good at fighting to bother with these word games." Zhu Cihong said: "But it's a secret, and it must not be revealed. It can only be heard in secret."

"I understand." Feng Yuanbiao said. .

Zhu Cilang sighed: "There are many cheaters in the court, I'm afraid this matter has already spread."

"This...isn't it?" Feng Yuanbiao was taken aback.This is a document transferred by the Ministry of War, with a secret signature and wax seal as a record, who dares to dismantle it privately?

"In terms of time and space, no matter whether you are a slave or a thief, they are all above the court." Zhu Cihong said helplessly: "This soldier should send his powerful family members to Luoyang, and ask the Qin governor to persuade Qiu Zhitao and Li Zhensheng not to make any changes, and bear the burden of humiliation for a while." Years, when the time is right, someone will go to contact and start it.”

Hearing this, Feng Yuanbiao knew that the prince had brought the two inner servants under his command, so as not to expose them.Anyway, they were just two thieves, and the prince had absolutely no reason to disagree.Feng Yuanbiao said: "I understand."

"Okay, I'd better go back to recuperate earlier, don't overwork yourself." Zhu Cihong got up and said, glanced at Zhang Fengxiang, and said as if pointing out: "Some things just need to be done, and it's useless to think so much."

Zhang Fengxiang quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the prince's eyes.

Feng Yuanbiao thought that the crown prince was really comforting him, so he bowed to thank him, and then bowed and retreated.

Zhu Cihong sat down for a while, drank a cup of tea in the palace, and the face of the queen mother appeared in his mind, and his heart moved, and he called: "Tian Cunshan."

"The servant is here." Tian Cunshan was sent out just now, and hurried in to deal with the matter.

"What's the name of the female official sent by Kunning Palace before?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"His Highness, my surname is Lu, and my first name is Suyao." Tian Cunshan replied quickly.

"Are you on duty today? Send her to see me." Zhu Cihong said.

When the prince travels, each class has a fixed number of people, no matter what requirements, this class can meet.No matter what the prince suddenly thought of or what he wanted to do, he would never dare to disappoint the prince.In case of accidental mistakes, they will be recorded in the book and wait for the above to issue.

Even if Lu Suyao is not around, someone will definitely come in to do things for the prince.As long as Lu Suyao can do it, that person can definitely do it for her.This is also a common drama in court struggles, because of an accidental replacement, it jumped to the top.

Therefore, few female officials are willing to let others take over.

This also made Zhu Cihong always feel that the internal officials of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were eunuchs or female officials, were far more team-minded than the white-collar workers in later generations of enterprises.

"Slave, Lu Suyao, pay my respects to Your Highness." After a while, the female official responded respectfully.

"The queen mother asked you to serve in the outer mansion of the East Palace, what else did she say?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Lu Suyao blushed, and thought to herself: Does the prince really not know, or is he making fun of me?Could it be here...

"Returning to Your Highness, it is Liu Gong who is following Yi's order and sending slaves to serve His Highness." Lu Suyao said with her head bowed.

She is not yet qualified to meet the empress.

"Oh," Zhu Cihong didn't know if he was a little disappointed, "Then you go to Kunning Palace and report that everything is fine, please don't worry, Queen Mother."

"Your Highness, if the empress asks about the preparations for the wedding, how should the servants respond?" Lu Suyao asked with a blushing face.She was sent to provide pre-marital education for Donggong, but this is the first time she has seen the real Donggong, so how can she go back to work?

Zhu Cihong still didn't react, he was only thinking about leading the army to the west, and said indifferently: "Tell me the truth." He didn't know what preparations the East Palace needed for the wedding, anyway, with Liu Ruoyu and Tian Cunshan watching, there wouldn't be any mistakes.

As for the education of intercourse... Who knew that the prince's early wisdom would even know this aspect.

Zhu Cihong stood up, walked out briskly, entrusted Lu Suyao with full authority over the matter of paying respects, and continued to follow the matter in his mind, thinking about how to recruit some people from Song Hongye and Wu Changchun to form a team A team that collects intelligence from abroad.This matter was originally the task of the Staff Division of the Ministry of War, but now it is not easy for the Staff Division to give a more reliable map, let alone carry out espionage work to the outside world.

——That Xu Dun seems to have no voice recently. Even if he resells this kind of external affairs to those princes, it may not be too dangerous.

Zhu Cihong's subordinates were still lacking in talents, and after much deliberation, they finally fell on the head of Xu Dun, whose loyalty was doubtful. (To be continued.)
