I am the carpenter king

Chapter 169 Gao Hong

() Gently opened his eyes, removed the arm that was pressing on him, looked at the two women lying beside him, Emperor Yaoqi smiled wryly and patted his forehead.What's wrong with me?How could such a thing be done?

Walking out of bed slowly, Concubine Duan Gui and Concubine Wang Guifei were still sleeping soundly, with happy smiles on their faces, perhaps this was happiness for them!After putting on his clothes, he waved to the eunuch not far away, and Emperor Yaoqi walked slowly to the door.

"What happened to Chen Hongqian?" Emperor Yaoqi glanced at the little eunuch and asked in a deep voice.

"Return to the emperor, Director Chen is in front, and the ministers outside are here, it seems that the battle report from Liaodong has arrived." The little eunuch saluted Emperor Yaoqi and replied respectfully.

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Yaoqi said to the little eunuch: "Don't disturb the two empresses, let the capital serve you carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the servants will give orders." The little eunuch smiled flatteringly and replied flatteringly.

Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Yaoqi raised his legs and walked towards Qianqing Palace, stopped after walking a few steps, and ordered the little eunuch: "Let the imperial dining room deliver my breakfast to Qianqing Palace! Let them use the Take some time to make up for the two noble concubines!"

Before Emperor Yaoqi entered Qianqing Palace, he saw Chen Hong approaching him, and asked, "What? Is there a memorial outside?"

Giving a salute to Emperor Yaoqi, Chen Hong said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, the detailed Liaodong battle report has come, and Sun Chengzong and Sun Daru's rewards are all here. The great scholars of the cabinet and the ministers of the six departments , and all the civil and military officials in Beijing are here, will your Majesty meet?"

Gently patting his forehead, Emperor Yaoqi asked with some doubts: "What day is it today? Why are all these people here?"

"Return to Your Majesty, today is March [-]th, it should be the day of the early court. Originally, the ministers wanted to tell the ministers that the court would not be there this morning, but since the incident of the war in Liaodong has come, is your majesty going to court? "Chen Hong bowed and said respectfully.

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Yes! I should go to the court early. After all, this is a great happy event. With this event, I can show my strengths." Touching his stomach, Emperor Yaoqi shook his head and said to Chen Hong: "I haven't had breakfast yet, let them wait!"

Emperor Yaoqi was eating breakfast, but the ministers in the court were a little anxious, they couldn't help but looked at each other and started talking.However, most of the discussions were about the battle in Liaodong. It was the first time for Ming to have such a victory since Sarhu, so it was natural to celebrate it.

However, some ministers are happy, while others look like old gods, and they can't tell what they are thinking!However, on the side of the hereditary nobles, it was very lively, and they spoke loudly.Some thought that Sun Chengzong's approach was right, some thought it was too risky, and some thought that Sun Chengzong was too cautious and should take advantage of the power of the big victory to attack Kaiyuan and Tieling directly.Some people even think that Jianzhou should be attacked directly, and Jiannu should be wiped out in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles forever.In short, everyone has their own ideas, but at this time they are quarreling.

"The emperor is here!" With this shout, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Yaoqi slowly stepped onto his dragon chair, waved his hands to the ministers below, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone loves you!" When everyone stood up, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Listen! Said the battle report from Liaodong has arrived, find someone to read it!" Then he glanced at Liu Yijing, Emperor Yaoqi said: "Liu Aiqing, come and read it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Yijing took the memorial handed over by Chen Hong, gently opened it, and read it aloud.

This memorial is very detailed, from the establishment of the slaves to the invasion, to the dispatch of secret work, to Sun Chengzong's plan, to the bloody battle in Shenyang City, it is very detailed.Among them, there are praises to the generals, some compliments to the emperor, and even more emphasis on the foreign imports and the new artillery, which are full of words.

When Liu Yijing finished reading the memorial, all the people in the court were stunned. They didn't expect the thrill of the battle.Shenyang City was almost lost, and none of them thought that Sun Chengzong would dare to take such a risk.What surprised them even more was the new type of artillery. No one thought that the imperial court still had new type of artillery.

"Loves, I've finished reading the memorial. What do you think about it? Why don't you stand up and say it!" After receiving the memorial from Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi said with a smile.Although I feel a little regretful about exposing the artillery, it's not a big deal, and the things I'm going to do right away are small things.

"Your Majesty, I have an official performance!" As soon as Emperor Yaoqi's words fell, someone came out and said loudly.

Glancing at the man who stood up, it was Sun Ruyou, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Emperor Yaoqi smiled and nodded, and said loudly, "Sun Aiqing! Say it!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that this great victory in Liaodong is a major event to boost the morale of the army and boost the morale of the army and the people. I think that Sun Chengzong and Sun Da should enter the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners. Your Majesty will go out to meet him in person to show his merit. Can you also tell Yaoxia As long as the people and soldiers of our country have contributed to the imperial court and the emperor, they will be treated as they should be." Sun Ruyou bowed to Emperor Yaoqi, and then began to speak impassionedly.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Yaoqi felt that what Sun Ruyou said was reasonable, and such things must be vigorously publicized.Not only can it boost the morale of the people, but it can also deter surrounding countries, which is indeed very good.

"Your Majesty, I feel that what Sun Shangshu said is reasonable, but on this basis, we should reward Sun Dajin and the ministers who have made merit this time. Let everyone in the world see that those who have contributed to the country and the court, The imperial court will remember it!" This time it was Wu Liangsi, Shangshu of the Household Department, who stood up this time. After he finished speaking, many people nodded slowly.

Satisfied with the ministers below, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Since all the love ministers mean this, then do it this way! Let Sun Chengzong offer prisoners at the Meridian Gate, and the cabinet will come up with a reward method. According to the brochure written by Sun Chengzong.”

"Your Majesty, I have an answer!" As soon as Emperor Yaoqi's voice fell, another intruder came out, bowed to Emperor Yaoqi, and said respectfully.

Emperor Yaoqi looked down, and suddenly felt that this minister did not know him, and his attire should be rounded out in Chinese script.In previous dynasties, Zhongshushe was in charge of edicts and orders, and often drafted imperial edicts for the emperor, and his status was very high.But in the Ming Dynasty, this power was given to the cabinet, and the Zhongshu Department was set up in the cabinet, and Zhongshu Sheren belonged to the Zhongshu Department, and the official position of Zhongshu Sheren was only from Qipin.

Taking a look at this person, Emperor Yaoqi was a little surprised, it was just a Chinese scripture, and there was no place for him in this court.The reason why he was here was to record Emperor Yaoqi's will when he went to court, and the cabinet would draft the decree after he returned.

At this time, all the eyes of the people in the court were focused on this person, and in this court, he had no right to speak.In this court, very few people knew him, even Chen Hong standing behind Emperor Yaoqi didn't know him.

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "Aiqing's official position is rounded up from Qipin's Zhongshu, to be honest, I don't know your name, and you don't need to tell me your name now. Since you have the book, I will let you say, if what you say satisfies me, I am asking for your name."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have nothing to say about the war in Liaodong. What I want to say is about the new artillery." Although the man was watched by the crowd, his expression did not change at all. Calm and indifferent, talk freely.

"Your Majesty, I have seen my Ming Dynasty's weapon manufacturing workshop. The equipment used by the ordinary army is led by the Ministry of Industry, with the cooperation of various ministries. However, the craftsmen's salary is low and their status is low. They have no interest in making good weapons. This has resulted in the substandard quality of many weapons, and the production speed is also very slow, which is even more unfavorable to reform and innovation. Since your Majesty has studied a new type of artillery, I have a very good idea, which is established." The man said. Come to understand very well, it is not a day or two to pay attention to this matter.

The man wanted to continue talking, but Emperor Yaoqi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, looked at the man with a smile, and asked excitedly: "Okay, I am very interested in what you said, what's your name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, minister Gao Hongtu!" The man bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice.

At this time, the ministers in the hall were all looking at Gao Hongtu, but each had a different expression on his face, but most of them didn't care, with an indifferent expression.In this hall, apart from Emperor Yaoqi's interest in Gao Hongtu, there is another person, that is Yuan Yingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Yuan Yingtai had long thought of reorganizing the Ministry of Industry. Now that he had such an entry, he was naturally very interested and wished to have a good talk with him now.

Emperor Yaoqi was stunned at this time, he had read some history books when he was in college, and he really knew about Gao Hongtu.Because this guy doesn't curry favor with anyone, and doesn't form a party, he was depressed for the first half of his life.He even stayed at home for more than ten years, and he didn't become a cabinet scholar until the small court of Nanming.But his words were not listened to. After the Ming Dynasty perished, he himself died of a hunger strike, and died with his final country.

For such an entry, Emperor Yaoqi would definitely not let it go. Seeing the calm and calm Gao Hongtu at this time, Emperor Yaoqi was overjoyed.With this salary this time, the affairs of the Ministry of Industry can be considered and implemented.For this person, Emperor Yaoqi liked it very much, and couldn't help laughing happily.
