Zhu Youxiao glared at him and said, "If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. Why don't you go now?"

Wei Zhongxian shrank his neck, put the note in his pocket and left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

A quarter of an hour later, three teams of people rushed out of the East Factory.

A team went to the Zhengcunba factory outside the city and selected thirty gunpowder craftsmen.

A team went to the Shenji Camp and asked Lu Xiangsheng to transfer 300 soldiers from the Shenji Camp.

There is only one criterion for selecting people.

Either alone or widowed!

Afterwards, these people joined the last group of people outside the city.

The leader of this team was Wei Zhongxian’s nephew, Wei Liangqing!

Wei Zhongxian was also in the team, but he was only there to see them off.

The father and son walked away from the crowd and sat down on a ridge.

Wei Liangqing's eyes were filled with reluctance: "Uncle, is it true that I will never come back after this departure?"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and gave earnest instructions.

"It seems impossible to come back now."

"But you should be glad!"

"Although you have obtained the title of Duke of Ningguo thanks to our family, you should know your own worth."

"Now the emperor still remembers the kindness of our family and does not argue with you, but we, as servants, can't take kindness as a blessing!"

"So, if you go, don't even think about coming back."

"Just stay in Japan and keep a close eye on that place and Li Zicheng for the Ming Dynasty. None of his subordinates are easy to deal with. If you find anything wrong, send a letter back immediately!"

"I am already sixty years old this year. No one can tell how many days these old bones can live."

"Whether the Wei family can continue to be prosperous in the future depends on your future performance. Do you understand?"

Wei Liangqing's ability is average. If he hadn't been promoted by Wei Zhongxian, he would probably still be digging the ground in his hometown.

But he is still a grateful person. At least, he still remembers the kindness of this old man.

His eyes had turned red without him realizing it. His legs went soft and he knelt down, hugging Wei Zhongxian's thighs and crying.

"Uncle, nephew has made note of it!"

"Don't worry, as long as my nephew is alive, I will never allow anyone to have other ideas!"

Looking at Wei Liangqing kneeling on the ground, Wei Zhongxian also shed two lines of tears.

The reason why he brought this nephew to Beijing and abused his power to give him the title of Duke of Ningguo was actually just to have someone to see him off when he was old.

But when he saw Zhu Youxiao wrote on the note that Wei Liangqing should go to Japan to serve as Duke of Ningguo, he knew that his plan would fail.

Wei Liangqing's ability is not worthy of the title of Duke of Ningguo!

The emperor is giving honor to himself and the Wei family!

Got to continue!

"Go ahead, our family wishes you a safe journey!"

He wiped away his tears and patted Wei Liangqing on the shoulder.

"Take care, uncle!"

Wei Liangqing nodded heavily, stood up, returned to the team, and mounted his horse.

"drive!"

The whip fell, the warhorse neighed, and galloped towards Tianjin.

behind him.

Followed by fifty experts from the East Factory, three hundred soldiers from the Shenjiying Camp, and thirty gunpowder craftsmen!

Chapter 517 Love each other

Just as Wei Zhongxian was seeing Wei Liangqing off, there was a deafening cry of weeping in the Yangxin Palace.

"Your Highness, I, the Imperial Academy's Chief Priest, Kong Zhenyun, beg you to make the decision for the Kong family!"

"In the past thousand years, the Kong family has never suffered such a disaster!"

"More than a thousand people in the Kong family were killed by the enemy army in one day!"

"From the very old to the very young, no one was spared!"

"Your Majesty, the rebel army is not only cutting off the bloodline of the saints, but also cutting off the inheritance of the world's scholars!"

"The rebel army is arrogant and disregards the laws of the imperial court!"

"I beg Your Majesty to quickly mobilize the coastal guards of Shandong, the guards of Nanzhili, and the guards of Henan to encircle and completely wipe out the bandit army!"

"Otherwise, if we allow the rebel army to continue to do whatever it wants, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

Behind the imperial desk, Zhu Youxiao looked at the guy in front of him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

It had not even been two hours since Chonglou returned, and he had already received news from Qufu!

The people from the Kong family actually run faster than the Jinyiwei!

interesting!

So much fun!

Next to Kong Zhenyun was kneeling the Minister of Rites Meng Shaoyu.

At this moment, his expression also seemed extremely sad.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the ceremonial system of the five rituals, the system of schools and imperial examinations, and is responsible for educating the people.

In some sense, it is equivalent to the combination of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Culture, Bureau of Religious Affairs, and Ethnic Affairs Commission in modern society.

Although it usually does not show its influence, the Ministry of Rites was the first one to be pushed forward when the Kong family was destroyed!

He fell to the ground, wailing in a low voice with three parts of sobs and seven parts of panic in his voice.

"Your Majesty, the scholars in the Imperial College are in an uproar!"

"If we can't give the Kong family an explanation as soon as possible, once the news spreads to the people, I'm afraid no scholar in the world will agree!"

"Your Majesty! I think Kong Jijiu's proposal is worth considering!"

"We must use thunderous means to wipe out the bandit army!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times. When he raised his head, his forehead was already red and swollen.

"boom!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted angrily with gritted teeth.

"Someone! Quickly summon Elder Wen, Prince Xin, and the ministers of various ministries to come to the throne!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch standing by was so frightened that he trembled and ran out quickly.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation one after another.

After some greetings, Wen Tiren bowed and asked.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what is so urgent?"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Kong Zhenyun and said, "My dear, tell them what you just said!"

"Remember, there can be no omissions!"

Kong Zhenyun wiped away her tears and repeated it with sobs.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked!

Wang Yongguang, Guo Yunhou and Wu Chunfu looked at each other with their eyes as big as eggs, as if their eyeballs seemed to fall out of their sockets!

Wanima!

Qufu was actually broken by the enemy army?

Kong Family...

No one left in the family?

"hiss........"

The sound of people gasping for air could be heard throughout the hall.

But among these people, two people reacted differently.

Wen Tihen's eyes were almost turning into a Tai Chi diagram. He looked at Sun Chengzong for a while, and then stole a glance at Zhu Youxiao.

There seems to be something wrong about this matter!

Not long ago, His Majesty issued an order to transfer the guards of Shandong to the coastal areas to prepare for the Japanese invasion...

Then, news came that the bandit army was heading east...

The court officials requested an imperial decree to transfer the guards back to defend the city, but were rejected by Sun Chengzong again...

Now, the Kong family has actually been murdered by the bandit army......

If you think about it carefully, it seems that everything has been going smoothly since the rebel army started the uprising last year!

A whole year!

Almost all of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and the northern half of Henan were visited by the bandit army!

Now, Zhang Xianzhong has led a large army out of Shaanxi, and has forcefully passed through Guide and went to Dogan Sixuanwei Si.

Gao Yingxiang's troops went to the southwest and went to Sichuan via Wen County!

And after the civil strife, Liu Zongmin's troops changed their leader and entered Huguang through Pingli!

Coupled with Li Zicheng's current actions...

How the hell does this look like a rebellion?

Since ancient times, which rebel army would only attack but not occupy?

Even Emperor Liu knew that he had to occupy a city first as a foundation to accumulate strength!

However, these bandit troops were like locusts passing through a border, only focusing on attacking the city...

All the states and counties they passed through became clean!

The corrupt officials were killed, the rich were ripped off, but the land returned to the hands of the people...

"Lord Wen, are you hot?"

He was thinking when he suddenly heard Zhu Youxiao's voice.

Wen Tiren's body trembled violently!

He rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he was not seeing things!

There was a hint of...

Chuckle?

God!

A terrible suspicion arose in his mind and his face turned pale.

After a while!

"puff!"

Wen Tiren actually spat out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground on the spot!

Zhu Youxiao was shocked by his reaction!

Looking at the blood stains on his uniform, he immediately shouted at Youtong.

"Quick, call the imperial physician!"
