I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 133 Emergencies
"My son sees my father."

"En." Nodding, Li Tian put his hands behind his back, and seeing Zhu Zhanji wearing a fifth-rank civil official robe, he couldn't help but smile a little:

"Why? An official robe embroidered with patches is more comfortable to wear than a dragon robe?"

"That's not true." Zhu Zhanji scratched his head with a smile, and walked to Li Tian's side to explain.

"It's just that the servants are wearing dragon robes, and wherever they go, there will be a huge group of people following them and saluting repeatedly. The servants are very annoying, and the officials of the various ministries who go to the General Administration Department to work are probably also annoying."

"Then if you wear this outfit, you are not afraid of being ordered by the General Secretary of the General Administration Department?"

"Use it to order it, it's nothing more than spending two feet, running around the Thousand Steps Corridor."

"You bastard is easy to talk about." Walking towards the front porch of Qianbulang, Li Tian didn't tell Zhu Zhanji which yamen he was going to, he smiled and greeted his buttocks and said:

"I asked you to observe politics. Many ministers in the court think it's too early. You dare to interfere in government affairs. Are you really not afraid that they will impeach you?"

Of course Zhu Zhanji was afraid. There is no family affection above the imperial power. This is the iron law of blood and tears that has been verified countless times since ancient times for thousands of years.

And he is the crown prince and prince, every word and deed will be interpreted repeatedly by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.But he still did it, not for anything else, just to let his father know that Zhu Zhanji is a die-hard supporter of the reform.

Seeing that his father's face was not unhappy, Zhu Zhanji was even more determined, winking and laughing and saying:

"If they want to impeach, they can impeach. As long as the father doesn't believe it, they can still spray their sons to death with saliva."

Knowing what Zhu Zhanji was thinking about, Li Tian was very relieved. After laughing and cursing, he stopped and summoned a small eunuch and said:

"Let Jiang Bao go to the Ministry of Industry to find me."

"The slave obeys."

Although the three wide corridors in the east and west of the Thousand-step Corridor are not small, there are so many yamen in six departments, three divisions and five temples that it is impossible for all the yamen to be placed in the most obvious front corridor.

At this time, the location of the ministries, halls and government offices subtly represented their status.

For example, in the most powerful official department, one yamen was divided into two, and the yamen of the household department was sandwiched in the middle. The three yamen occupied half a street in Qianbulang.

Another example is the Ministry of Punishment, which together with Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called the Sansi. The real yamen is actually located on Sansi Street in Fucaifang.

But because of its great power and high status, it abruptly occupied a place on the left side of the official office.

As for the Ministry of Industry that Li Tian is going to now, he is the younger brother among all the yamen, and it is the Qingshui yamen recognized by the court.

If it hadn't been moved to the front porch by the east wind from the Tiangong Bureau, I'm afraid it's still smelling the medicine next to the Tai Hospital.

In the second corridor of the Thousand Steps Corridor, Li Tian was able to avoid all the officials for a while without causing any disturbance, but when he arrived at the front corridor, the yellow dragon robe suddenly came into the sight of all the officials.

Suddenly a gust of autumn wind blew, and the officials in the small half of the street all bowed their bodies, making waves of greetings to His Majesty.

Warmly waving his hands to get all the officials to stand up, and after saying a few words of encouragement, Li Tian stepped into the main hall of the Ministry of Industry.

Moving from the second porch to the front porch, the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Works felt so beautiful. Seeing Sheng Jia coming straight to the Ministry of Works, they all hurriedly stood up with joy on their faces, and sincerely shouted to see His Majesty
The place now occupied by the Ministry of Industry used to be the clan mansion, and the yamen was very spacious. Wu Zhong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, ran for a long time panting heavily before arriving at the front hall:

"The old minister welcomes His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wu Zhong ran so eagerly that he didn't even realize his beard was hanging on his official robe. Li Tian didn't dislike it either, and helped him pick it back to its original position with his hands, and said:
"There's no need to be formal, what about Zhou Zhen, I need him for something."

Wu Zhong had long learned from Zhou Zhen that the emperor was asking him to take charge of a major event. Hearing this, he hurriedly turned his body and stretched out his hand to guide him:

"Zhou Shilang is in the yamen of Tiangong Bureau in the back hall. The emperor and the crown prince please go with the old ministers."

As soon as he walked through the main hall and entered the door, Li Tian smelled a strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, took a deep breath, and said casually:
"Wu Shangshu, is this new government office okay?"

"How can it be okay? Your Majesty, it's just too good."

Li Tian couldn't help being a little surprised that Wu Zhong could say such witty words. It seems that the conversation in the cabinet that day had a great influence on Wu Zhong.

After walking through three doors in a row, Li Tian unconsciously pursed his lips.

Normally, the three gates of the government office are as high as the sky. Is the clan's mansion so rich?Unexpectedly, a government office with five entrances can be built on the edge of Miyagi.

After another door, the Tiangong Bureau finally arrived. Looking at the private seal of the fourth cabinet elder on the huge plaque, Li Tian burst out laughing:
"It's really rare for a small five-rank yamen to inscribe a plaque with four elders in the pavilion."

The Tiangong Bureau is still affiliated with the Ministry of Industry. Wu Zhong was very satisfied when he heard the words, he smiled and pushed open the door of the Tiangong Bureau and said:

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, and wait for the old minister to inform Zhou Shilang to come out to meet you."

"No need." He waved his hand to signal that all the accompanying eunuchs were waiting outside the door, Li Tian stepped directly into the courtyard, and saw the shirtless Zhou Zhen smashing the limestone vigorously.

Seeing this, Wu Zhong hurriedly followed into the courtyard, looked at Zhou Zhen and called Zhicheng loudly.

Zhou Zhen raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the emperor and the Master Shu were coming, he quickly put the hammer in his hand at ease, and slapped the white marks on his body in embarrassment to salute:
"My humble minister is rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Tian was very surprised that Zhou Zhen could do it himself regardless of the majesty of the third-rank servant.

Secretly crediting Zhou Zhen in his heart, Li Tian's brows were full of relief, this Zhou Zhen is also a person who does practical things.

"It's not rude to control the army on horseback and control the water."

Li Tian explained Zhou Zhen in an easy-going tone, walked to the limestone he had just smashed in three or two steps, twirled a handful of fine powder and said:

"How is the forging, is there a finished product?"

"The third batch was cooked this morning, and a few bags have already been released." As he spoke, Zhou Zhen immediately ordered someone to fetch it for Li Tian to see.

"Your Majesty is talking about burnt lime?"

When Wu Zhong heard this, he felt a little disappointed. There are countless people in the world who rely on burning lime for a living. This is no big deal.

Zhou Zhen personally opened a bag of lime powder, and the gray powder immediately fell on the ground. Li Tian was overjoyed when he saw this, so he picked up a handful and said:

"Wu Shangshu, don't look down on burnt lime. If you treat this thing a little bit, it will change the world."

"Change the world?" Wu Zhong couldn't believe it.

"Words are not proven, seeing is believing, Wu Shangshu just wait." Li Tian smiled without explaining, looked up at Zhou Zhen and said:

"Have you figured out the ratio of the various materials in this limestone?"

Before Zhou Zhen could speak, he heard a bang, and Jiang Bao rushed in:
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. The envoy of the Zhancheng Kingdom drowned in the Xiaobai River in Renqiu County."
