I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 348 The Emperor’s Inquiry

"I fully agree with what His Majesty said when he commented on the situation in Liaodong. This sentence applies exactly here."

Everyone who originally thought that Shen Guan had nothing to do about it and wanted to be disappointed by inaction suddenly became interested when they heard what Shen Guan said and asked quickly:
"What are you talking about? Come on and tell me."

After Shen Guan looked around at everyone, he looked at the location of the Capital Tongwen Hall and said slowly:

"You hit yours, and I'll hit mine."

Everyone was speechless after hearing this, trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence.Slowly, everyone came to realize it, showed a satisfied smile, and raised their hands towards Shen Guan.

"Mr. Shen Ge is still smart and calm, and has already had a way to deal with it, but we may not be able to do this just by relying on us. We are afraid that we will need to contact more people."

"Don't be afraid. Once something like this is brought up, no one dares to object, just like a library, and it will be strongly supported.

I will go to see Mr. Liu Ge and the others early tomorrow morning. This time, even if they dump the Western Fa faction and agree to their party’s participation in the calendar, they will not dare to stop us. "

Shen Guan paid no attention to this concern and immediately waved his hand to express that he would take care of it, which made everyone bow their heads.So they made some plans and then went out to win over people, preparing to support them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

This night was destined to be sleepless for Shen Guan, Xu Guangqi and others, but for Zhu Youxiao, who was the person in charge, it seemed leisurely and comfortable.

Early the next morning, he woke up energetically in Kunning Palace. Under Zhang Yan's attentive service, he changed into his yellow robe and prepared to review the memorial.Since his wedding, he has clearly felt that the quality of his personal life has become much more comfortable and warm.

After all, there are people who take care of everything, and there are a few people who talk to me every day, so my mood will naturally be much better.

Therefore, he now lives in Kunning Palace half of the time every month, and the rest of the time he lives in the palaces of Concubine Wang Liang and Concubine Duan Chun.

Fortunately, the three of them entered the palace from the same batch and had similar family backgrounds. In addition, I particularly respected Zhang Yan, so there was no drama of fighting for favor in the harem.

"Recently, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have sent a lot of summer fruits as tribute. You can share them among the palaces to satisfy your craving."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will certainly have plenty of fresh fruits for my concubine and the others to eat. Every time something new comes, Wei Zhongxian will ask the imperial kitchen to deliver some first, which is quite thoughtful. Since I have given the order today, I will Be good at making your own decisions and distribute these tribute fruits to the emperor's younger brother, the emperor's sister, the concubine and others."

Looking at Zhang Yan who was tidying up her clothes in a gentle and virtuous manner while caring about the concubine and other concubines, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily.Wei Zhongxian is a typical person who sees the food and sees that he loves Zhang Yan very much, so he rushes to flatter the queen wholeheartedly. However, this is not the case in history.

"It's best if you have this kind of heart. I am busy with political affairs on weekdays, so I feel relieved that you are here to be my home. You can really take more care of the concubines in the harem. But you must not overindulge in Youjian and the others. You must have strict requirements. If you need to study, you should study. If you just keep playing around and can't control it, just tell me and I will teach them a lesson."

Zhang Yan was still arranging Zhu Youxiao's sleeves methodically after hearing this. When Zhu Youxiao asked her to be stricter with Zhu Youjian and the others, she immediately raised her eyes and pursed her lips with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The child Yujian has been in a much better mood since he was fostered and stayed with Princess Donglizhuang. He also works very hard. He gets up early every day to study hard and completes his homework very well. , Academician Ding has praised me several times."

Hearing what Zhang Yan said, Zhu Youxiao also relaxed.Zhu Youjian's younger brother had no one to take care of him since he was a child, which resulted in him developing a sensitive, suspicious, and eager character.

These are nothing to an idle prince, but as an emperor, these are absolutely necessary.

Although with Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne, the possibility of Zhu Youjian's accession to the throne is close to zero.But he also wanted Zhu Youjian to take some responsibilities and help him do some things, so he was very concerned about Zhu Youjian's education.

But now it seems that the effect is pretty good, Zhu Youjian did not disappoint him. "That's good. I'll give him a test in a few days and see if you, the royal wife, can say anything nice for him?"

Hearing that the emperor still doubted herself, Zhang Yan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, even if you take the test, I will not tell any lies."

Seeing Zhang Yan pouting and pretending to be angry, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I just trust you. I won't say any more. I'm going to Qianqing Palace. Xu Guangqi should be here soon."

Zhang Yan no longer pretended to be angry after hearing this, and immediately led all the female officials to respectfully escort the emperor out of the palace.

After leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Youxiao got on the dragon boat that had been prepared and went to Qianqing Palace.

Just as Zhu Youxiao himself said, not long after he arrived at Dongnuang Pavilion, Wei Zhongxian came in with Xu Guangqi.

"Your Majesty Saint Ann."

"Well, sit down."

Zhu Youxiao skillfully waved his hand and asked Xu Guangqi to take his seat.When Wei Zhongxian on the side saw this, he also took the teapot from He Ning's hand and poured tea for Zhu Youxiao himself.Zhu Youxiao ignored him and looked at Xu Guangqi who was sitting upright.

"Xu Aiqing, I remember that last month I assigned some political scholars to your Ministry of Industry. You must know something about them, but I don't know if there are any outstanding people among them who you can recommend to me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangqi immediately understood who the emperor wanted to ask.

The emperor personally drew up a list and selected the destination of these Guanzheng Jinshi. He had already received the news, so he was very concerned about these Guanzheng Jinshi who were specially approved to come to the Ministry of Works. Unexpectedly, he actually discovered several talents. .

"Your Majesty, don't tell me that there really is one. There is a top three Jinshi named Song Yingxing, who is well-read and knowledgeable, and also has strong practical skills. When he came to the Ministry of Industry, he did not stick to writing work. Instead, he took the initiative to find me and said that he wanted to inspect the Tongzhou Firearms Workshop. .

I originally thought that he just heard that His Majesty valued this place, so he wanted to go there to make a name for himself.

Unexpectedly, after he went there, he ignored his status as a Jinshi and often mingled with the master craftsmen. He also personally experienced smelting and forging and improved the craftsmanship. All the old craftsmen in the workshop praised him. "

Hearing Song Yingxing do this, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised at all, but was very pleased.

Others don't know Song Yingxing's ability, but he knows it best.Although putting him in the firearms workshop can be said to be making the best use of his talents, it is actually a waste of talent. However, let him work for the time being. Once he has achieved results, he will definitely promote him.

"It seems that he is a talented person. Confucius said: he is quick and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. Such people who can put aside their modesty will definitely become great talents in the future. I also need talents who are dedicated to the study of utensils.

You have to make good use of him and try to meet his needs as much as possible.For example, if you want to experiment or something, you can let him try it as long as it is reasonable, but don't say that it was my special order. "
