Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Wang Danian stood in the Fengtian Hall, his posture as straight and upright as the old pine tree outside the hall, motionless.

Although he lowered his head, his eyes were as shrewd as those of a clever little mouse.

It was spinning around, always paying attention to what was happening in the hall.

As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wang Danian had to work hard in the wind and waves every day.

The skill of observing people's words and expressions has long been honed to perfection.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang at this moment, he felt like there was a little rabbit in his heart and he dared not slack off at all.

After all, the master in front of him is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has the final say.

The outfit Wang Danian was wearing at this time was the Feiyu suit, which was unique to senior officers of the Jinyiwei.

When the sun shone on the black brocade, it looked like there were stars hiding inside, sparkling with a mysterious and dazzling light.

The embroidery on the clothes is so exquisite that the golden silk threads seem to be alive.

The majestic pattern outlined makes people feel awe-inspiring when looking at it.

He also had a black belt tied around his waist, on which hung treasures that symbolized his status as a Jinyiwei.

A token was dangling, and there was also a sword, which exuded a power that no one could underestimate.

Just relying on Wang Danian's ability to observe people's words and expressions, and his reliable work.

He has established a firm foothold in the Jinyiwei, and his prestige and status are rising rapidly.

When his brothers saw Wang Danian, they all respectfully called him "Master Qianhu".

However, he also has a heavy burden on his shoulders. As a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it is his job to investigate information and eliminate hidden dangers.

You must be cautious and resolute in your daily actions, otherwise how can you reassure the emperor?
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne at this time, first sighed heavily and then stood up.

He paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, muttering as he walked: "Now the matter of ironclad ships and steam engines concerns the future of our Ming Dynasty's coastal defense.

It is as important as the main beam of a house. Without it, the maritime defense line of the Ming Dynasty will be unstable.

It is also related to the stability of our Ming Dynasty. This is of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly. "

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped while speaking.

He raised his hand and pointed outside the hall, as if the sea was right in front of him.

"We have put so much effort into this, we have really summoned all the skilled craftsmen in the world.

They also invested huge amounts of money in it, hoping to see the ironclad ship sailing on the sea as soon as possible, and at the same time to make great use of the steam engine.

But this is a very difficult thing to do.

Obstacles from all sides are like weeds, popping up one after another."

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and his face instantly became gloomy.

The look in his eyes was like two sharp arrows as he looked towards Wang Danian.

His voice also became low and serious, like thunder: "As a captain of the Jinyiwei, you have the responsibility to investigate information and eliminate hidden dangers.

You have to keep a close eye on this ironclad ship and the propulsion of the steam engine.

If something unexpected happens after the Chinese New Year.

That's because you didn't do your job well. We won't let you off easily. Demotion and investigation would be considered light punishment.

If something goes wrong with you and ruins this important military and national event...

snort!
Just wait to be sent to that remote place to guard the border and reflect on your mistakes. Don't even think about returning to the capital. If you do, you won't even have anywhere to cry."

When Wang Danian heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his heart trembled.

But he had seen the world after all, and he quickly regained his composure.

Wang Danian first knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest, performing a standard Jinyiwei salute, which was clean and beautiful.

Then he said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am grateful for the trust of Your Majesty and the court to take on this important task.

In his heart, he had already regarded this matter as his lifeblood.

I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay the emperor's kindness."

Wang Danian raised his head slightly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang firmly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have already secretly arranged the ironclad ship and steam engine.

The elite spies under my command are all very smart.

They have already dispersed to various places, not just targeting those foreign thieves with ulterior motives.

Within our Ming Dynasty, there are people who are involved in conflicts of interest and may interfere.

I have asked my brothers to record them all, and the list is already very thick."

As he spoke he gestured with his hands, looking extremely serious.

"Your Majesty, I know that this matter is of great importance. How dare I act only by conventional means?

In addition to these overt investigations, I have also arranged a number of secret agents.

Those brothers, each one is like a chameleon, blending into the market.

He became friends with all those businessmen and wanderers.

We have people in the workshops, and even in the mansions of high-ranking officials, we have secretly planted Jinyiwei spies.

The purpose is to ensure that no information is missed!

As long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, I will know it immediately.

The Jinyiwei will then take prompt action to nip the hidden danger in the bud.

Don't let it have a chance to show up, Your Majesty, just be assured."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

Although his expression was still very serious, there was a hint of recognition in his eyes.

“Well, it’s good that you know it.

This matter is not only related to military affairs, it is closely tied to the destiny of our Ming Dynasty.

Just like when we chose the site for the imperial mausoleum for the royal family before, we have to be extremely cautious.

Every aspect must be considered carefully, and no detail can be neglected.

After all, it is related to the dragon vein and feng shui of the Ming Dynasty, and also to the fortune of our country.

What if I choose the wrong place? "

Wang Danian quickly responded, "Your Majesty is right. I heard that it took a lot of trouble to select the site for this imperial mausoleum.

I guess there must be a lot of details involved, right? "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became interested.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if lost in memories, and said slowly: "Oh, that period really tormented us.

The choice of where to locate the imperial mausoleum has a bearing on the well-being of future generations and the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. How dare we take it lightly?
At that time, we had the officials of the Imperial Observatory, various Feng Shui masters, and those experienced military generals.

They were all gathered together to form a huge joint investigation team, hoping to find a perfect place."

Wang Danian looked curious, with his eyes wide open, just like a curious baby.

"Your Majesty, the selection of the site for this imperial mausoleum actually required the participation of so many talented people. I guess there must be a lot of considerations, right?"
