I am the carpenter king

Chapter 537 Old Fox

Walking out slowly, Wei Guogong's face was very solemn, and the atmosphere in the court hall suddenly became very weird.None of the ministers dared to speak out, and many people asked their noses with their eyes, and their noses with their mouths.Although Emperor Tianqi was sitting behind the Longshu table with a smile on his face, everyone knew that this young emperor was completely outraged.

At the moment when the reform of the military system is being promoted across the country, the Yangzhou earthquake and the Hangzhou mutiny are eye drops for Emperor Tianqi.No matter what the cause of this matter is, whoever is involved, someone will definitely be unlucky this time.

"Qizou Emperor, Yangzhou belongs to Nanzhili, and Hangzhou belongs to Zhejiang. Although the two places are very close, I think it is inappropriate to assert that there is a connection between these two things. The Yangzhou earthquake is a natural disaster. The Hangzhou mutiny is a disaster. It can be said that after the natural disaster, there will be a disaster. But the natural disaster is unpredictable, but the disaster has traces to follow, so it can be said that it was deliberately arranged by someone with a heart. I feel that disaster relief is the most important thing. As for the Hangzhou mutiny, Now that it's settled down, we can postpone the disposal a little bit!" Wei Guogong spoke slowly, while observing Emperor Tianqi's face, Wei Guogong was also in awe of this young emperor.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi also felt that what Wei Guogong said was reasonable, thought for a while, and said: "Since Aiqing has this opinion, I wonder what Aiqing's idea is?"

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's mood eased, Wei Guogong breathed a sigh of relief. As for the solution, it is also very simple to say.After pondering for a while, Wei Guo said openly: "Your Majesty, I feel that the matter of disaster relief is urgent, and the decision just now should not be revised. As for the matter of Hangzhou, I have some ideas. Now the imperial court is reforming the military system in the six northern provinces. It has been carried out, and it should be possible to implement it in the seven southern provinces. I feel that a capable official should be sent to Nanjing to preside over the reform of the military system, and to thoroughly investigate the mutiny in Hangzhou."

Everyone present looked at Wei Guogong with something more in their eyes.In the past, it was thought that Emperor Tianqi had arranged several princes in the positions of ministers of military affairs, but it was because of the shadow of the ancestors and their status in the army, and their actual abilities were not very good.There are many ministers who have this kind of thinking. It can be said that most of the civil servants think so, but Wei Guogong's reasonable, well-founded and thought-provoking discussion made many people look at it with admiration.

There is caution in many people's eyes.It seems that the battle between civil and military forces in the future may not be as easy as I and others thought.These rough-looking people on the outside are all old foxes.

Emperor Tianqi nodded, Wei Guogong's lineage is in Nanjing, and the heir's son is naturally focused on training, and his ability is naturally no problem.He looks careless on weekdays, but it is not easy to fool him.Looking at Wei Guogong with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said teasingly: "Then I don't know who Aiqing thinks it is appropriate to send to Nanjing?"

As soon as this problem comes out.Everyone felt that the atmosphere was relaxed, but many people frowned.All eyes were on Wei Guogong. You must know that Nanjing is Wei Guogong's territory, and there is a deep meaning in asking Wei Guogong to recommend candidates!

"Your Majesty, Wei Guogong lives in Nanjing. As the governor of the Chinese army, I know a lot about things in Nanjing. I ask the emperor to let me go to Nanjing. He will preside over the reform of the military system and thoroughly investigate the mutiny in Hangzhou!" The answer given by Wei Guogong It surprised everyone, and some people couldn't help despising Wei Guogong.This face is not usually thick.

Sun Chengzong, who was standing at the front of the hall, nodded and laughed at this moment. Duke Wei is really not an ordinary person. This answer seems cheeky, but it is really very appropriate.

First of all, Wei Guogong Shi Zhen Nanjing, no matter in terms of status or prestige, it is the most suitable for the current dynasty.Emperor Tianqi asked Wei Guogong this question.Wei Guogong's answer in this way just showed that he was dedicated to the country and had no selfishness.If Wei Guogong talked about him from left to right, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Tianqi.

Looking at Wei Guogong with a smile, Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed.Loudly said: "Duke Wei is really loyal to the country, dares to do things, and does his part! Very good, I will leave this matter to Aiqing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely get things done!" Wei Guogong hurriedly bowed and saluted, although he didn't feel anything when he spoke just now, he breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Wei Guogong, you should leave Qian Guogong's son alone on this errand! Let him practice with you, Qian Guogong will hand him over to me, and I will naturally cultivate him well!" Emperor Tianqi looked at with a smile Wei Guogong opened his mouth and said.

Duke Wei was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood what Emperor Tianqi meant. Firstly, he wanted to let Duke Qian's son exercise, and secondly, he asked him to help him.Although Wei Guogong's mansion is very powerful, but after all, there are places that cannot be reached.Duke Qian of the State of Qian is in Yunnan, and his influence in the south is naturally very strong.Bowing down and paying respects to Emperor Tianqi, Duke Wei said respectfully: "I understand that I will do my best, but I have something that I hope the emperor will allow."

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "Ai Qing can say anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not deny it!"

"Your Majesty, the situation of going to Nanjing is complicated. I am afraid that if something goes wrong, the matter will not be handled properly, so I ask the emperor to send a team of Jinyi guards to accompany me. First, it can deter Xiao Xiao, and second, it can assist the minister to investigate the case!" Wei Guogong did not change his face. Without a beat, he said sincerely.

However, none of the people present were fools, and those who believed Wei Guogong's words were rookies who had just entered the officialdom.Wei Guogong is so powerful in Nanjing, hundreds of thousands of troops are at the disposal of Wei Guogong, and they still use Jinyiwei to frighten Xiaoxiao?Is there any Xiaoxiao who is blind and rushes to provoke Wei Guogong?As for the second reason, it is even more ridiculous. This time, Wei Guogong is going to preside over the reform of the military system. As for the investigation in Hangzhou, it is just a trivial matter.Emperor Tianqi also valued the impact on the reform of the military system, not the case itself.

This seemingly useless request made everyone start to admire Wei Guogong. This was not for Jin Yiwei to cooperate, but to reassure Emperor Tianqi.After all, Wei Guogong led the army in Nanjing, and this time he presided over the reform of the military system. It would be hell to say that Emperor Tianqi had no worries.

But even if he had concerns, Emperor Tianqi would not send someone to monitor Wei Guogong, it would appear petty on the contrary.Although Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others won't provoke discord, and it doesn't mean that Emperor Tianqi doesn't have any barriers in his heart.Now Wei Guogong proposed it on his own initiative, seemingly asking Emperor Tianqi himself, but in fact he asked Emperor Tianqi to send someone to follow him in a legitimate way.In this way, the suspicion of Emperor Tianqi was continuously resolved, but on the contrary, it seemed that Wei Guogong was selfless and loyal to the country, which definitely gave Emperor Tianqi a very good impression.

Emperor Tianqi took a deep look at Wei Guogong, and it seemed that he really underestimated these Dukes of the country before, and they were all treacherous and cunning.However, Emperor Tianqi was very happy with Wei Guogong's actions, smiled, and said: "Since Aiqing has this request, I will naturally grant it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duke Wei heaved a sigh of relief, and retreated to his seat.Ignoring those looking over, his expression was not at all inconvenient, and he stood there righteously.

Emperor Tianqi swept across everyone's faces with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "My dear friends, does anyone have a copy?" After a long while, no one spoke, Emperor Tianqi stood up and said, "In that case, Then retreat!"

Early the next morning, Wei Guogong and Guan Yingzhen left the capital, and the south of the Ming Dynasty was destined to undergo some changes.

However, the two of them hadn't arrived yet, and the matter was not very clear. The capital was still the same as usual, and it was coming to February soon.On the first day of February, Emperor Tianqi received a memorial, and the person who submitted the letter was Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Fujian. This matter was also a matter of great concern to Emperor Tianqi.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi rubbed his swollen forehead, took the tea handed over by Wang Chengen, and took a sip slowly.

"Your Majesty, rest if you're tired! Nubei asked someone to bring some food to the Emperor. The Ming Dynasty is so big that there are endless things to deal with!" Looking at Emperor Tianqi distressedly, Wang Chengen said cautiously on the side.

Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "This is a courtier who actually persuades me to abandon the government. What do you think I should do with you?"

Looking carefully at Emperor Tianqi's appearance, Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Tianqi was joking with him, so he said with a smile: "Nubei doesn't have the guts, and Nubei is also thinking about the emperor's body. The emperor is a rare sage king since ancient times. Pretending to be world affairs in your heart, pretending to be heaven and earth, how can the words of Nubei plan be able to control it?"

Smiling and pointing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said helplessly: "I really don't know who learned it, I'm too good at flattering, but there is some truth in what I said. Since ancient times, Mingjun has his own persistence, and ordinary people can't control it. Okay. , Go and find some great scholars from the cabinet and some ministers from the Military Aircraft Department, I have something to discuss with them."

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's firm attitude, Wang Chengen didn't say anything more, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei will do it now!" Then he turned and walked out.

Emperor Tianqi sat on the Longshu table, pointed to a court lady beside him, and said, "Come here, give me a shoulder squeeze!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The maid blushed slightly, walked quickly to Emperor Tianqi's side, and gently pinched her.

Emperor Tianqi slowly closed his eyes. He originally wanted to take a rest, but soon snoring sounded, and Emperor Tianqi fell asleep.

Wang Chengen came back soon, but seeing Emperor Tianqi fell asleep, Wang Chengen tiptoed out again.He lowered his voice and said to several ministers: "My lords, the emperor has fallen asleep. The emperor has been very tired these days. I hope all my lords can stay with me for a while!" (to be continued...)
