"It seems that Jiang Aiqing is determined to send more troops to Jinling Mansion."
Fortunately, Su Rui presented the memorial and had Su Rui as a guarantee, so there was no problem. If any other prefect had done this, Zhou Qian would have suspected that he wanted to raise private soldiers, and then sent the royal spies in Jiangnan Road to investigate.
Thinking that Jiang Yan was so sincere and didn't even consider the concerns of his superiors, the smile on Zhou Qian's face faded.
"Are the Japanese already so rampant in Jiangnan Road?"
Regarding the Japanese country, Zhou Qian has always maintained the attitude of not taking it seriously if they are too far apart.
Especially if the Japanese country had any difficulties, they would come to Daxing to fight against the autumn wind.
If you need anything, just ask them for help with a piece of clothing and water, and be willing to join Daxing.
Since he had nothing to ask for, he took a pirate ship and went to the coast to cause trouble, turning his face and not recognizing anyone.
Regarding this kind of bandits, Zhou Qian actually wanted to find an opportunity to completely eliminate them. It just so happened that the increase in troops caught up with the opportunity, but there was a natural disaster in the Japanese country.
If we take advantage of a natural disaster to attack the Japanese country, it would be really unethical and the teacher would have no name.
"If they seek death on their own, don't blame me for cutting them off completely regardless of face!"
Jiangnan Road is closest to the coastline of Japan.
However, the Japanese usually circled south to Lingnan or even landed further south. Taking advantage of the easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend terrain there, they used large ships at sea to escape south after causing trouble.
If the Japanese set their sights on Jiangnan Road, let them go without any return!
With a stroke of his pen, Zhou Qian approved the word "Yun" on the two memorials.
With Su Rui watching and Jiang Yan, the prefect of Jinling who focused on military matters, leaving other details to them.
"When Jiang Yan was a Hanlin scholar in the imperial court, I had no impression of him. The Jiang family's work was mediocre. I didn't expect that Jiang Yan would be nothing but a blockbuster. It not only reflected his ability to pay taxes adequately, but also With the awareness of military defense, you are worthy of a great responsibility."
There are not many ministers who can be so praised by Zhou Qian.
Su Peiyuan secretly wrote down the name.
He knew in his heart that if nothing unexpected happened, the prefect Jiang would be able to succeed Su Rui as the governor of Jiangnan Province and become a powerful official after Su Rui was transferred back to the capital.
Since the memorials from Jiangnan Road were opened, Zhou Qian simply checked the backlog of memorials first.
Turned over and over again.
It was found that except for Jiang Yan, only a few county magistrates wrote about the increase in Japanese people in their monthly memorials.
"The magistrate of Wuhu County is also a thoughtful person, and he is worthy of being the subordinate official of Jingxian girl's fiefdom."
As soon as Zhou Qian finished his praise, he saw the mark on the back that the matter was proposed by Ning Huxing. After thinking for a moment, he lightly patted his forehead.
Ninghuxing.
Isn't this Ning Feng's eldest son?
"I remember hugging him when I was a child. It is said that he inherited his martial arts from General Ning and was taught step by step. I didn't expect that he was over forty and he was still just a..."
Zhou Qian didn't say anything else.
But when Su Peiyuan saw His Majesty's sighing expression, he still didn't understand.
Your Majesty feels that the official positions of the Ning family are too small and they have been neglected in recent years.
In fact, since His Majesty has stopped fighting, it has been too common that the generals who rose up with His Majesty have gradually fallen into poverty.
There are still a handful of people like the Ning family who have managed to get ahead.
Most of them live their lives clinging to their ancestral property or the bountiful fields they were given. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the ups and downs.
"I'm ashamed of them."
Zhou Qian's red pen was hanging in the air. After thinking about it again and again, he still marked a sentence below.
I have learned about it and asked Ning Huxing to investigate further and report back.
The Ning family has considerable influence in Jiangnan Road. Zhou Qian is not worried that Ning Huxing will be made things difficult for him because of his humble official position, but writing this sentence is to tell the local magistrate that he has remembered Ning Huxing.
The rest of the meaning is left to the officials to guess.
After covering the memorial, Zhou Qian still felt a little unhappy. He glanced at the two memorials specially placed on the desk, and couldn't help but secretly cursed: Su Rui is stingy, and Ning Jiayi is brave and loyal, both civil and military. It is enough to promote some candidates to serve as county magistrates. If it is not possible, they can also serve as deputies. They will only arrange some dispensable ones. They can barely be regarded as having official ranks. They do not even have the right to directly write memorials to him. I don’t know how it is arranged. .
"I remember that I rewarded Mrs. Ning with a pardon last time. General Ning is now a third-grade military general. When his recruitment is completed, I will posthumously grant Madam Ning the title of third-grade general."
Su Peiyuan knew that he was asking him to help me remember it, so he nodded quickly in response.
Zhou Qian then threw the memorials on top of the two memorials together with Su Rui and Jiang Yan, summoned the guards, and sent the three memorials back to Jiangnan Road first.
And specifically told him to send them all to Su Rui.
It took less than a quarter of an hour before the memorial was sent away.
The bodyguard responsible for keeping an eye on Princess Xian's mansion came to report, and Ning Wushu handed the invitation to the Shen family.
Invite the Shen family to visit us tomorrow.
Snap!
Zhou Qian threw the ink pen on the table with a bad look on his face.
Su Peiyuan and the guards were so frightened that they fell to their knees in a hurry.
"Get up, I'm not venting my anger on you, just get up."
Zhou Qian said angrily, picked up the ink pen, and wrote four big words on the memorial that happened to be a bunch of flattery - not doing serious business.
Jiangnan Dao served as an inspector and did not supervise the behavior of officials. Taking advantage of Xu Jidao's absence, he secretly and openly wanted to try to be an inspector again and replace Xu Jidao as governor.
Did Huang Aiqing really do anything good when he was so old that he forgot about the Ye family case?
"If it weren't for the fact that your work over the years has not gone out of line, and the important positions in Jiangnan Province cannot be moved for the time being, I would have dismissed you first."
Without waiting for the handwriting to dry, Zhou Qian angrily threw it into the piles of memorials and waved angrily at the guard who came to report.
Seeing this, Su Peiyuan quickly brought a cup of warm tea and carefully placed it on the low table, deliberately trying to persuade His Majesty not to be angry.
But for a moment, His Majesty's angry pulse could not be felt.
Having served His Majesty for many years, Su Peiyuan saw many officials who had nothing to do to write memorials and did not write down any serious matters. Instead, they asked His Majesty whether he had eaten, slept, whether he had eaten well, and whether he had slept well. He expressed gratitude to the Emperor every day for his great kindness. nonsense.
His Majesty mostly laughed it off.
Only when some officials got tired of writing too much, they would laugh and scold them as "out of tune", and then leave it to the waiter who sorted the memorials. Next time, that official's memorials would be dealt with at the end of the day.
It is really rare to have such a big anger like today.
This made Su Peiyuan feel that His Majesty's unknown anger may not be directed at Inspector Huang, but just because Mr. Huang was unlucky.
"Su Peiyuan, do you think Ning Aiqing fell on her head on the day of the poetry appreciation party?"
"Ah? Why did your Majesty say this?"
When Su Peiyuan heard this question, he solved his doubts.
I understand that His Majesty's anger is most likely related to the content of the guard's report.
But His Majesty's question made him even more confused.
In the past few days, Your Majesty has been saying that Lord Ning will get well soon. Why is it that now it seems like he is cursing Lord Ning to make his illness more serious?
After Zhou Qian finished speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake, but he still couldn't swallow the breath in his heart. He drank a cup of warm tea, but he was still angry. He said to Su Peiyuan again: "Didn't he just sit down and move a little bit? He stood up." He can't even stand still, he actually has to receive guests, and even sends invitations to the Shen family. Do you think he really has a crush on that girl Shen Tuling, and is he trying to curry favor with the Shen family?"
"..."
How dare Su Peiyuan answer this question.
Doesn't he understand Master Ning and His Majesty's temper?
At this time, he followed His Majesty's words and said that when His Majesty takes advantage of Master Ning, he will no longer be a human being inside and out.
At this time, he went against His Majesty's words and said that Mr. Ning has done such a thing. Even if he is not trying to curry favor with the Shen family, he still attaches great importance to the Shen family. Therefore... His Majesty still has to forgive himself. This old slave can only pretend. Mute.
