The people from the General Affairs Department sent the memorial back to the Ministry of War. Ru Yu couldn't wait to open the memorial, and her eyes fell on Zhu Yunwen's approval. Her eyes widened suddenly, with confusion and uneasiness on her face.
Liu Jun, the right minister of the Ministry of War, held a document in his hand, came over and asked: "Master Ru, has the emperor agreed?"
Ru Yu shook her head and handed over the memorial.
After reading it, Liu Jun was also confused and asked confusedly: "What does the emperor mean?"
Ru Yu sighed, took away the memorial, and said, "I don't know. This matter needs to be discussed with the cabinet. What can I do for you?"
Liu Jun quickly handed over the document in his hand and said: "Qi Bin, the commander of the Dengzhou Guards, came to report that a small group of Japanese bandits appeared in the coastal areas of Shandong and looted and killed more than 30 soldiers and civilians along the coast. Please order the Ministry of War to allocate ships. Go to sea and kill the enemy.”
Rujun quickly took the report, read it carefully, and asked: "No wonder the report was sent to the Ministry of War instead of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Mr. Liu, do you know who the father of Mingwei General Qi Bin is?"
"Of course we know that Qi Xiang, the 100 households of Yingtian Guards, Taizu's personal guard, and the founding hero of the country. It's a pity that when Qi Xiang was on an expedition to Yunnan..."
Liu Jun's eyes showed regret.
Ru Yu looked at the memorial carefully and said, "Just in time, this memorial should also be taken to the cabinet for a look."
cabinet.
Xie Jin was reading the opening chapter of "Records of Taizu" and asked Yu Xin and Zhang Zhen: "Who wrote this book?"
Yu Xin shook his head, lowered his head to deal with the memorial in his hand, and said: "Dong Lun, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy? Wang Jingzhang, the president? If you want to know, you need to go to the Hanlin Academy."
Xie Jin narrowed his eyes and said: "Dong Lun's article is honest and conservative, while Wang Jingzhang's theory is conservative. This opening article was definitely not written by the two of them."
"Oh, you mean this is the beginning?" Fang Xiaoru walked into the cabinet, rubbed his cold old face, breathed into his hands, and said, "It was written by Yang Shiqi, editor of the Hanlin Academy."
"Yang Shiqi?"
Xie Jin squinted his eyes, savored the name, then put down the opening manuscript and said solemnly: "This son is a talented minister! In the future, he may not be inferior to me!"
Yu Xin and Zhang Yan both raised their heads and looked at Xie Jin.
This is not a joke, but an unusual political prophecy!
Fang Xiaoru was not surprised by Xie Jin's words. He stepped forward and said, "I have been observing Yang Shiqi for more than half a month. No matter in terms of character, ability or literary and historical talents, he is the best choice. Mr. Jie, you have a rival." "
Xie Jin burst out laughing. Seeing Fang Xiaoru's coldness, he handed over the copper stove on the side and said, "There are many talents in the cabinet, and Xie is happy to see them."
Fang Xiaoru nodded happily. Just as he was about to speak, footsteps were heard outside the door. Ru Yun hurriedly walked in. Seeing that Fang Xiaoru was there, she said hello first. After meeting the three cabinet ministers, she sent Qi Bin's The report was handed over.
After Yu Xin read it, he frowned slightly and said, "Will you inform the Fifth Army Governor's Office about this matter? After all, Dengzhou Guards is under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Office."
Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said: "Dengzhou Guards belongs to the Shandong Dusi and is under the jurisdiction of the Zuojun Dudufu. After Li Jinglong left the capital and went to Guangzhou, Xu Huizu was temporarily in charge of matters related to the Zuojun Dudufu. You might as well give this memorial. Pass it to Xu Huizu and make a final decision."
Ru Yun nodded slightly, then took out another memorial, smiled wryly at Xie Jin and others, and said, "The emperor has approved it."
Jie Jin's brows and eyes moved slightly, but he remained calm.
Yu Xin squinted at Ru Yu's expression and shook his head slightly.
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand, took the memorial, and said, "It seems that the emperor is not prepared to be your lobbyist."
Ru Yun sighed and said, "That's not entirely true. There seems to be a mystery to what the emperor said, but I just can't understand it."
"oh?"
Xie Jin became interested and came over.
Zhang Yan unfolded the memorial in which Ru Yu asked the emperor to be a lobbyist and persuaded the two kings to offer medical gauze and alcohol. He quickly glanced around and saw only four cinnabar characters at the end of the memorial:
[Hello businessman]
Zhang Yan was stunned and stunned.
After Yu Xin saw it, he was also puzzled by its meaning, and Fang Xiaoru was silent.
Only Jie Jin was only slightly surprised, then he relaxed his brows and sat back with a smile on his lips.
"What kind of approval is this?"
Fang Xiaoru was a little dissatisfied.
The emperor is so disrespectful. This is a court document and a memorial from a minister. How can he give an ambiguous reply?
What does it mean to be a good businessman?
Yu Xin was puzzled, and Zhang Yan was puzzled. Everyone looked at Jie Jin who was drinking tea, and suddenly became angry and gathered around him.
Rujun snatched Xie Jin's teapot and asked, "What does the emperor mean?"
Xie Jin leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "What the emperor means is that businessmen are good..."
Ru Yu and others almost fainted.
You and the emperor look alike in terms of feelings, both are charades players!
"What exactly does that mean?"
Ru Yu was a little frustrated. After all, he was also a minister of the Sixth Ministry, but he couldn't understand the emperor's intention. How would he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
Jie Jin looked at Ru Yu seriously and said, "What the emperor means is that merchants are good. Lord Ru, taste it carefully, taste it carefully."
Ru Yu fell into deep thought.
Zhang Yan clapped his hands, thought clearly, and said with a smile: "The emperor's move is wonderful. However, this account will be a pain for the Ministry of Accounts."
Yu Xin let out a long "Oh", shook his head, sat back and said, "The Emperor has a long-term plan and a far-reaching plan. It's hard for us to catch up with him."
Fang Xiaoru was confused. Looking at these pedantic guys, she couldn't bear to ask, so she took the memorial away, hummed an ancient song, and went to the Hanlin Academy, calling Yang Shiqi who was compiling a book.
"This memorial is a test for you. If you can explain the emperor's intention, I will recommend you."
Fang Xiaoru placed the memorial on the table and looked at Yang Shiqi expectantly.
The main responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy are to draft imperial edicts, compile historical books, attend banquets, analyze current affairs in the court, and study memorials and approvals in preparation for the emperor's examination.
On the eve of the change of Yuan Dynasty to Jianwen, Yang Shiqi was recommended by the local government as editor.
The three national issues of "national flag, national emblem, and national anthem" aroused the Ming Dynasty, and the cabinet urgently needed the Hanlin Academy as a backup force. Before Yang Shiqi could finish celebrating the New Year in Jiangxia, he was forced to go down the river and enter the capital.
Yang Shiqi's task was very heavy. Not only did he need to participate in national affairs, he also needed to assist Dong Lun and others in completing the "Records of Taizu".
Facing Fang Xiaoru's test, Yang Shiqi only smiled slightly, bowed, took the memorial, read it carefully, and then respectfully placed the memorial on the table. Fang Xiaoru said, "The emperor has given his approval."
Fang Xiaoru leaned forward slightly and asked, "Tell me."
Yang Shiqi pointed to the memorial and said calmly: "Ru Shangshu asked the emperor to be a lobbyist, but the emperor did not agree. Instead, he hoped that the Ministry of War could purchase this batch of medical gauze and alcohol as a merchant."
"Oh?" Fang Xiaoru frowned and asked, "What else?"
Yang Shiqi continued: "The emperor's method is careless and serves the overall interests. It is also a response to the dispute over land in the court."
Fang Xiaoru was stunned.
Zhu Yunwen just approved the four words "Businessmen are good", and then he said "it's careless and for the overall benefit"?
Also, this memorial is clearly a matter between the Ministry of War and the two kings. Where does it mention the land dispute?
