"Shen Cunzhong, has such a chance?"
In the capital hall, Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh after hearing what happened in the Zichen Palace.
Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong...
That was the new law general who was once as famous as Zhang Dun, Zhang Zihou, Zeng Buzeng Zixuan, Xu Xi, Xu Dezhan and others who died in Yongle City.
The future is bright and your career will be smooth!
It was not because of the defeat of Yongle City that Shen Kuo and Xu Xi should have a place in the capital halls of the three provinces at this moment.
Especially Shen Kuo, before he was reprimanded and demoted, he was already a bachelor of Longtuge, a strategic and pacifying envoy of Yanyan Road, and a commander of Zhiyanzhou.
"I know about Yanzhou..." Li Qingchen, who was beside Zhang Dun, his eyes blurred for a moment, then sighed: "Emperor Daxing really has a far-reaching plan!"
"In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Daxing made the young master the Prince of Yan'an County and the Governor of Yanzhou..."
"In the third year of Yuanfeng, Shen Cunzhong had already gone to pay homage to Yanyan Road to appease the envoys about Yanzhou affairs..."
"In this way, Shen Cunzhong may still be the potential minister arranged by Emperor Daxing for the young master!"
"Otherwise, why would the young master be sealed in Yan'an?"
Zhang Dun listened and took a deep breath.
He also remembered that when the young master was granted the title of King of Yan'an County, Shen Kuo won a great victory on Yan'an Road.
They captured seven or eight fortresses including Jintang and Jialu from the Western Bandits.
The gray line of grass and snakes was buried so early?
No wonder! No wonder!
In this way, Shen Kuo would have been convicted if Yongle City had not defeated Shen Kuo.
Shen Kuo should have gone to Beijing long ago to assist the young master.
This is really an arrangement that no one could have thought of beforehand, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely reasonable.
Shen Kuo had many edges and corners, and Yongle City was newly defeated.
Emperor Daxing specially scolded and polished off its edges, and then gave it to the young master for use.
Moreover, Shen Kuo has always been famous for his Luban skills.
Arranging for him to be promoted to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is simply the most reasonable thing to do!
"Shen Cunzhong will soon ascend to the Qingyun Level!" Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh.
Li Qingchen couldn't help but nod.
Don't look at the so-called "promotion and promotion of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau", it seems to be nothing, and the official rank should not be that high.
But the problem is that this is a personal property directly belonging to the emperor, and it is also an property that the Daxing Emperor wants to pass down to his descendants.
Died with the country!
Therefore, after Shen Kuo's resurrection, he became a close official or even a retainer of the emperor.
He could get close to the emperor and even see the emperor at any time.
In addition, he himself has a mission of giving lectures at Miyingge.
A minister who can have close contact with the emperor, can report relevant affairs to the emperor at any time, and can also lecture to the emperor at sutra banquets.
No matter how low the official rank is, it is comparable to a Hanlin bachelor or a living scholar.
Maybe, in a few decades, the position of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau will become as noble and dangerous as the current Hanlin bachelor and layman.
"This time Li Senior has offended the emperor and the two palaces..." Li Qingchen said: "I'm afraid it will be hard to do good..."
Zhang Dun nodded and pursed his lips in the direction of the Yushitai in Xuanpingfang.
Li Qingchen understood immediately.
The crows at the Yushitai, this is a wasted opportunity to show their loyalty.
As long as Huang Lu is not a fool, he will take the credit.
What's even better is that since Li Ding fell.
So what happened on Jingdong Road, as well as Fujian's tea method and salt method, Yushitai may have to accept everything.
This is pie in the sky!
Huang Lu might be able to promote the official post to the top.
…
The side hall of Funing Hall.
Song Yongchen was busy writing.
Feng Jing quietly appeared beside him and whispered: "Has Zhaoxuan heard about the matter in Zichen Palace?"
Song Yongchen didn't speak, just immersed himself in writing the words of his memories.
The young master taught him some imported numbers and symbols a few days ago.
Song Yongchen felt that it was very useful, so he directly used it to write a book.
After using it, Song Yongchen had a good experience with these imported numbers and symbols.
Especially when drawing pictures, it is very smooth and easy to use when annotating.
"Li Ding, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been convicted of crimes all over the world and has been sent to Dali Temple..."
"It is said that next to Li Ding Prison, there are Wu Juhou and others who he just escorted back to Beijing from Jingdong Road..."
Song Yongchen finally put down his pen and looked back at Feng Jing: "What exactly is Feng Zhihou going to say?"
Feng Jing smiled: "I'm just feeling emotional..."
Song Yongchen looked at this young and somewhat restless junior and said to him seriously: "You should learn from Li Zhongmin!"
"When Li Zhongmin served Emperor Daxing, he didn't say a word he shouldn't have said, and he didn't even look at the things he shouldn't have done..."
Feng Jing immediately lowered his head: "Zhaoxuan taught you a lesson!"
Song Yongchen shook his head.
I remembered that day when I made my first pilgrimage to the young master.
The young master's words echoed in his ears.
"The purpose of sacrificing the Bianhe Embankment Department is to protect the Specialized Weapons Manufacturing Bureau..."
"In the hearts of Emperor Daxing and the young master..." He couldn't help but think in his mind: "The status of the Bureau that specializes in manufacturing weapons is so high?"
He recalled the performances he had seen in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.
Poisonous smoke balls that release poisonous gas when ignited...
After being thrown out, it will explode and frighten the horses...
Wrapped in asphalt and tung oil, it can be thrown out through a trebuchet. It is a fireball that specializes in fire attacks...
Once ignited, the rockets will chirp and fire indiscriminately...
Song Yongchen always felt that those things were flashy, but the actual effect might be just that.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Daxing and the young master valued him so much.
Especially the young master, in order to protect the weapons manufacturing bureau, he was willing to take out all the embankments that laid golden eggs to buy them.
"It seems..."
"After Shen Cunzhong enters Beijing, I must discuss it carefully with him..."
Shen Kuo was an old acquaintance of Song Yongchen.
At the beginning, he and Shen Kuo did the preliminary investigation and verification of Luo Tongbian.
It was through Shen Kuo's measurements that Song Yongchen realized that the gap between Bianjing and Sizhou was more than ten feet.
It is precisely because of knowing the accurate geographical difference that the subsequent canal project was able to complete the project of guiding Luo to Bian in such a short period of time by relying on the direction of the mountains and rivers themselves and the power of the river itself.
"Maybe Shen Cunzhong knows why the young master values those firearms so much..."
He is a minister, that is, he serves the Lord.
Whatever the Lord likes, he will learn it.
Emperor Daxing liked engineering, building rivers and building city walls.
Song Yongchen spent all his time studying, reading out and studying the works of famous officials and skilled craftsmen of the previous dynasties, and asked for advice from the river workers who had lived in Bianhe River for many years, and from the famous craftsmen who built houses in Bianjing City.
Finally something was accomplished.
Now that the young master values firearms so much, Song Yongchen naturally wants to learn from them.
Only by learning well can you continue to serve the Lord.
…
That night.
Among the tiles, theaters and night markets in Bianjing City.
Related discussions naturally occupy the center of focus.
"This official named Li is so courageous..."
"He dares to touch such a thing... He is really not afraid of death!"
"Didn't anyone teach him what happened at the beginning of the dynasty?"
The speaker's mouth was immediately covered by the person next to him.
"You are so bold that you don't want to die? How dare you talk about this kind of thing?!"
Even the shopkeeper was frightened.
He pushed the man out and said, "A small shop cannot entertain a great Bodhisattva like you..."
Can that kind of thing be said directly?
However, the shop owner also shook his head: "That official is really ignorant!"
"Obviously, all the petty officials brought out the Embankment Department to buy it, and they also followed the orders of Emperor Daxing to abolish the Market Change Law, and they all lost the law..."
"How come he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, what's good or bad?"
"Even the property passed down from father to son must be taken away..."
For the people of Bianjing, this kind of thing is the most sensitive and also the one that affects their minds the most.
reason?
There are millions of people in Bianjing, from top to bottom, even those who work hard have a few strings of copper coins in their pockets and a shabby house inherited from their ancestors.
In this capital city, it can be as small as a street stall or a well at the end of an alley, or as large as a di shop or a main store.
Over the years, they have been things that attract people's attention and are coveted by others.
Nine out of ten lawsuits in Kaifeng Prefecture were over property disputes.
Naturally, what happened in Zichen Palace immediately aroused widespread resonance in the ears of people in Bianjing.
Therefore, no one sympathized with Li Ding at all.
Many people even felt the same way and cursed Li Ding, wishing him to die.
…
Even Cuo Da in Bianjing City understands this truth.
How can you not know about the two palaces?
Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Xiang stayed up all night.
On the other hand, Zhao Xu slept soundly in Funing Hall.
On the contrary, this made the two palaces even more worried!
After all, the emperor was young and did not understand the stories of the dynasty's past.
Do they still know how this Jiangshan Sheji came from?
So, before dawn the next day, Wang Xiaoxian, the minister of Dali Temple, and Huang Lu, the censor Zhongcheng, were urgently summoned to the palace.
The two palaces exerted strong pressure on these two ministers.
Ask them to investigate Li Ding's case to the end!
The key thing to check is: Do you have any accomplices? ', 'Are you being instigated by others? '.
Wang Xiaoxian and Huang Lu almost knew at this time that Li Ding was out of his mind and eager to make contributions.
Where did the comrades come from? It's impossible for anyone to instruct him.
But……
Facing the pressure from the two palaces, they had no choice but to go back and launch a surprise trial against Li Ding.
And whether it was the Empress Dowager or Empress Dowager Xiang, most of them knew that Li Ding most likely had no accomplices and no one was instructing him.
But that's how it goes.
Officials and officials all shouted out words such as "bullying orphans and widows" and "eating the poor".
If Li Ding cannot be severely punished, other real careerists cannot be deterred.
Then, it will encourage others and encourage those who are truly ambitious.
Therefore, we must take action!
This is called killing chickens and frightening monkeys!
Therefore, thanks to Li Ding, the two palaces tried to attack Li Ding as much as possible.
Even Wu Juhou had to be patronizing (actually it was the Empress Dowager who took the opportunity to deliberately forgive Wu Juhou - in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, although Wu Juhou was a man of many disadvantages to the people, he was still loyal to the Song Dynasty! He handled so much money every year , but none of them were stuffed into their own pockets! Such people must be forgiven, must be held high and put down gently!).
Therefore, Wu Juhou, the envoy of Tianzhang Pavilion and Jingdong Road transfer, issued an edict on the same day to confer the title of Zhongdafu to know Luzhou. He only took away his post and demoted him two levels to a postal officer - not even the one responsible for the conferment. The prefix was not given, it was just handed down!
As long as Dali Temple concludes the Jingdong Road case, he will most likely be able to continue working as an official in Luzhou.
Note: According to historical records, in April, Wu Juhou was conferred the title of Governor of Luzhou.
At that time, Gao Taotao was already in power, and this could only come from Gao Taotao's will.
And the Gao family hates the New Party so much, and can be so patronizing to Wu Juhou, it can only be because Wu Juhou is too good at making money, and at the same time he has not embezzled a single coin.
PS: Don’t fix the stance of historical figures, and don’t judge a person casually. People are like this. Today is good and tomorrow is bad.
Politicians are even more complicated.
