"Ah! It's so boring!" Zhu Youxiao stood in the Qianqing Palace and shouted to the sky.

Since the coverage area of ​​the Imperial Daily was still small, although his article caused some sensation, the effect was not great, and he had no idea what to do about it. After writing a few more articles, he stopped writing. It was better to wait. In the future, when the Empire Daily develops to a certain scale, I will show off my amazing writing style.

This was the idea of ​​the young emperor. He put all the blame on the small size of the Imperial Daily and did not think about the quality problems of his own articles.

Since that day, several days had passed, and except for Xu Guangqi coming to see him and making some adjustments to the inner government again, he had nothing to do.

After the internal government had been running for a period of time, Xu Guangqi felt that the system was not reasonable enough, so he made new changes. On the basis of the original personnel department, finance department, and internal funds, three upper-level departments were added again, the production department, the purchasing department, and the sales department. department.

All factories, whether civilian or military, are all under the leadership of the production department. All raw materials that need to be purchased from the outside are the responsibility of the purchasing department. All products sold to external parties are the responsibility of the sales department. The person in charge of the sales department, It is Wang Wenyan of Yuan Tiangong Company.

After handling the affairs of the Changlu Salt Farm, he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and then took over the position of director of the sales department, a third-grade servant. Of course, he would not use the banner of the sales department of the internal government to the outside world, but all Acting in the name of Tiangong Trading Company, all shops also carry the Tiangong Trading Company brand.

Zhu Youxiao just looked at this structure that clearly imitated the six departments, and waved his hand in agreement. This system was more reasonable than the previous one, and it was improved by Xu Guangqi after a period of operation, so naturally there was no big problem.

Historically, in the entire first year of Tianqi, except for the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang, there were no major events. At this time, Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler, proved that apart from major wars, there were no major events.

He had dealt with all major battles, so nothing happened at this time. No wonder he was panicking.

"Long live Lord, since you're bored, why not go for a walk and relax." Next to him, Liu Ruoyu suddenly suggested.

"Forget it, that's it." With that, Zhu Youxiao went to change clothes and walked outside the palace city.

At this time, outside the city of Nanjing, several people and horses were coming. If there was a leader, they would definitely exclaim, isn't this the dignified commander of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Sigong? But at this time, Luo Sigong passed by. He was disguised and made up to be a businessman.

There were not many people around him, just seven or eight people, all dressed as merchants, and they hurried to the city of Nanjing. The soldiers guarding the city glanced at them, showed no suspicion, and waved them in.

"Sir, are there still inspections when entering Nanjing City?" asked a stocky man following Luo Sigong. Judging from his dark face, he looked like an old farmer, not like a Jin Yiwei at all.

"Liang Qing, there was a bandit trouble here just now, so it's right to have stricter inspections." Luo Sigong replied with a smile. Although he said this, there was also a trace of doubt in the depths of his eyes.

"Sir, I'm afraid there is something unexpected." Another follower said. His appearance is more in line with the traditional image of a royal guard, with sinister eyes and a big aquiline nose, which makes him look like an eagle looking at a wolf.

"We really have to be on guard. Let's do this. Don't go to Nanjing Qianhu Station for the time being. Let's find a place to stay first, launch a secret weapon, and explore the situation in Nanjing City. Xianchun, I'll leave this matter to you." Luo Sigong

He frowned and said, his cautious character made him immediately change his mind.

"Yes, sir." Xu Xianchun cupped his fists and walked away.

"Let's go!" Luo Sigong pulled the reins, turned a corner, and headed toward the city.

After they left, several soldiers guarding the city started chatting.

"Hey, you guys say it's been a little strange these past two days. There are so many more people entering the city!" one of them said.

"Yes, I always feel that these people don't look like businessmen. Their eyes look murderous."

"Why do you care so much about Duke Wei?" A veteran reprimanded, and several others just shut up. They didn't take the matter to heart.

In the evening, Xu Xianchun came back, and at the same time he brought some good news.

"Sir, I haven't heard any news in my humble position, only a rumor." Xu Xianchun said hesitantly.

"What's the rumor?" Luo Sigong asked. Next to him stood the dark-skinned guard who looked like an old farmer. In this scene, this person didn't even go out, so he was obviously a close confidant.

"Returning to your lord, Anzi said that there is a rumor in the streets that Xiong Mingyu, the Minister of War in Nanjing, was placed under house arrest by Wei Guogong Xu Hongji." Xu Xianchun said this shocking news hesitantly.

"What!?" Luo Sigong stood up in surprise.

"This is just a rumor, sir, it's just a rumor, it can't be true." Xu Xianchun said quickly. He was not sure that the news was true. If it was false, he would be charged with lying about military information.

"It seems that the innocence of Nanjing City is about to change." Luo Sigong paced back and forth, frowning and thinking, "According to this, the Nanjing Qianhu Office is also in trouble, either they have rebelled or they have been taken away.

.”

There has been no news from Nanjing, which has always made Luo Sigong suspicious. Now that he has evidence, he has confirmed his suspicion.

"Let's go, we'll leave overnight. I'm afraid we can't stay here anymore." After thinking about it, Luo Sigong made a decisive decision and left Nanjing overnight.

The people present here are all the core figures of Jinyiwei. They are all well-trained and their actions are not sloppy at all. After packing the packages, they immediately got up and left.

Although it is already dark at this time, it is not difficult to leave with Jin Yiwei's ability. Several side doors from the city gate can be opened by paying money. Of course, the premise is that you can find the way.

"Sir, where are you going?" After leaving the city gate, Wei Liangqing couldn't help but ask.

"Go to Ningbo." Luo Sigong's words did not fluctuate at all. "Go to General Yu and tell him that there are changes in Nanjing."

Xu Xianchun, who was further behind, was extremely envious when he saw Wei Liangqing's treatment. If he asked, he would probably get a cold look. This is the power of family background. I heard that Wei Liangqing was the nephew of Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the East Factory.

, what a great background.

Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun couldn't help but feel envious and jealous at the same time. He hated himself for not having such a family background. In dejection, he turned back and looked at Nanjing City, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

This thought made him freeze on the spot, with hesitation and struggle on his face. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "My lord... I'm humble. I'll stay in Nanjing to find out the news for you."

"Oh!" Luo Sigong suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Xianchun, a hint of admiration flashed across his face, "Okay, very good, it seems that our Jinyiwei still has a brave warrior like you."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I am humble enough to hope that I can serve you." Xu Xianchun bent down and clasped his fists, his tone more firm than ever before. He finally understood that without a family background to rely on, he could only rely on his own extraordinary courage.

"Okay, you can stay and stay dormant in Nanjing to find out the news." After Luo Sigong finished speaking, he led the people and galloped away.

Xu Xianchun took one look, turned around, and returned to Nanjing City.

In the Ming Dynasty, the prince-in-law was a tragic role, not to mention that as the prince-son-in-law’s grandson, although he had the blood of the Tian family, he was only worth a royal guard to direct his affairs, and he was still useless. Xu Xianchun, who had nothing to rely on, could only Rely on your own hard work to carve out a path to fame and wealth.

Nanjing City, the residence of Duke Wei.

In the quiet study room, an old man and a young man were sitting opposite each other. The young man was smiling, while the old man had a troubled face, frowning, and thinking hard.

"Why, Lord Wei Guogong hasn't decided yet? Is this decision so difficult to make?" Wang Siyuan asked playfully, holding the tea cup.

"It concerns the life and fortune of my father-in-law, as well as hundreds of members of the entire clan, so we must be cautious." Xu Hongji said maturely and solemnly.

"The Duke said the same thing last time, but in the end he missed the opportunity to echo the two chieftains in the southwest. Do you want to think about it again this time?" Wang Siyuan smiled slightly, his tone was soft, he looked like a spring breeze, but the corners of his lips were There is a hint of sarcasm attached to it.

"My hesitation saved your lives. You persuaded me to work with you, saying that the imperial troops were tied up in Liaodong and were unable to go south. So what is written in this newspaper?" Xu Hongji handed over a newspaper. It was photographed on the desk, and facing above was a bust portrait of Zhu Youxiao returning in triumph. There were only a few simple drawings with lines, but they vividly outlined the emperor's charm.

This is the masterpiece of the new court painter Serena. She and Tang Ruowang asked for an audience together, but the final result was much better than Tang Ruowang. The report on the Battle of Ningyuan went on for several days. Except for the first three days, the following ones were all Comes with a simple drawing of Serena.

"If it hadn't been for me, and you had just happened to meet the emperor returning with a great victory, how could Yu Zigao, who was just transporting troops from the sea, be able to succeed in your attack on the port with Tianqi's military strategy? Burn down the imperial gunboats?" Xu Hongji said with great disdain.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Wang Siyuan clapped his hands and said. There was no trace of shame or anger at being ridiculed, but only a smile on his face.

"I just don't know why Mr. Wei Guogong, who keeps thinking about the empire, is still colluding with us sea pirates? On the way to Nanjing today, I happened to meet a pair of officers and soldiers, one of whom was guarding an eunuch, heading towards Ningbo. Go, guess what they are going to do?" Wang Siyuan said with a chuckle, and the mocking look in his eyes made Xu Hongji want to punch him in the face.

However, the other party did not notice Wei Guogong's eyes at all, but continued to smile softly, "I guess they went to Ningbo to deliver the imperial edict. What do you think will be written in the imperial edict?" After saying this, his eyes turned in vain. Leng stared at Xu Hongji and said coldly, "Do you think Tianqi doesn't know about the things you did? Do you think there will be no problem if you win over the Nanjing Qianhu Institute?"

"How naive. Do you want to be a slave to Dongchang? I'm sure that in the imperial edict written by Yu Zigao, there must be an intention to deprive you of your military power. It is not impossible to even take you down directly." At this point.

, Wang Siyuan snorted coldly, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Xu Hongji, "Do you think you can still keep this wealth? Do you think you are still the same prince who retired from the country?

What?"

"Wake up and look at Duke Cheng, this is what happened to him!"

"Are you still hesitating?"
