Hearing His Majesty's indifferent and indifferent words, everyone knew that it was impossible to promote this medicine at this moment. His Majesty is extremely powerful now. Maybe he would have restrained himself due to the words of the ministers, but now he is not
It's impossible.
"Everyone, go ahead and do your own thing. The people from the Ministry of Finance are going to think about how to get some money for me and the court; the people from the Ministry of War are going to plan the strategy for going to Nanjing in the future; the people from the Ministry of Works are going to look at which city walls need to be repaired and report them.
Give the household department the money needed for approval and then send it to Wang Chengen, while other departments can calm down and appease everyone."
After saying so many words at once, Zhu Ling put away four bottles of alcohol and handed them to Wang Chengen who was kicked down and stood up. After finding a handkerchief and wiping his hands, he stood up and left the place.
But I didn't forget to look back and say: "You must not covet the benefits. I advise you! General Yang, follow me."
After saying that, he left the place directly. The ministers who were frightened by these words naturally did not dare to speak, and they all bowed their bodies to wait for His Majesty to leave. But they also forgot where Your Majesty was going?
After calming down for a moment, I remembered that His Majesty had left.
"Master Wang, what did your Majesty mean by your last words?" Wu Linzheng turned around and walked to Wang Jiayan and asked, but his tone clearly had some other intentions.
"What your Majesty said is naturally what it means on the surface. Could it be that Mr. Wu wants to guess your Majesty's thoughts?"
Faced with Wu Linzheng's words, Wang Jiayan naturally responded immediately. With the first sentence, he gave him the impression that he must have guessed His Majesty's thoughts. Since ancient times, emperors have been most afraid of their ministers understanding their thoughts.
Sometimes, I hope that my ministers will understand, and sometimes I hope that they will not understand. But figuring out whether His Majesty is willing for you to guess is what a minister should know.
"Of course I don't dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts. I just think that what Your Majesty said is quite reasonable. Some of the ministers in my court just want to gain some support from the people."
Wang Jiayan sneered and said: "Master Wu is so willing to fight against the injustices of the people. He should resign from the title of Six Ministers and become the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
After saying that, he left directly, leaving Wu Linzheng standing there with a disdainful smile.
On the other side, Ni Yuanlu asked Li Banghua for advice: "Mr. Li, your Majesty is afraid that someone will use this medicine to make profits."
"Yes, not only some people in the court, but also the officials below. During the Jiajing period, Zhejiang wanted to change rice to mulberry. Why was it so difficult to implement it in the end? It was because those corrupt officials and merchants wanted to take advantage of it.
He made a profit and then exploited the people, but this time it was the soldiers who were exploited."
As he spoke, Li Banghua's eyes showed a profound meaning and he sighed: "I don't know why, since your Majesty negotiated peace with the intruder that day, he has thought more clearly about some things. If it were before, the ministers would have spoken
, said that this army can help our government, His Majesty will immediately issue an order, but now it seems that His Majesty has grown quite a bit."
"Growth is naturally a good thing, why is Mr. Li a little sad?" Ni Yuanlu asked, wondering why Li Banghua's tone of voice was a little low.
"Your Majesty will rely more and more on those military ministers, and there will be an invisible screen for us civil servants. And this screen will inevitably make the distance between us and Your Majesty even farther and farther. Even if we regain the lost ground in the future, we and others will
The status of civil servants will also be greatly reduced."
"What I feel sad about is not His Majesty's growth, but the future of our civil servants."
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Ni Yuanlu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, when he heard that this medicine was very effective, the first thing he thought of was that he could sell it and make a profit from it, and then he could
Replenish the national treasury.
But His Majesty's words caused his original intention to sell it to disappear.
There was even a moment when Ni Yuanlu really wanted to tell His Majesty that this medicine is very profitable, and if it can be made and sold, it will make huge profits. If you hide it like this, you will only cut off a way to make money. But thinking about it now, after all, it is still
I endured it.
…
Here, Zhu Ling led Yang Kuo, Wang Chengen, Wang Guoxing and some Jinyi guards and walked quickly towards the place where Guan Ning's army was resting.
"Your Majesty, are you going?"
Yang Kuo met His Majesty himself. He had never seen His Majesty in such a hurry. He was unable to keep up for a while.
"Go to the army."
Zhu Ling, who was walking quickly with his head buried in his head, didn't say much, but only spoke the most concise words.
Yang Kuo, who originally wanted to continue asking, was embarrassed to continue asking. He thought that he could just follow His Majesty wherever he went.
After a while, everyone arrived at the wounded soldiers' camp. As soon as they arrived, the first thing they saw was the wounded soldiers lying and sitting on the ground. Everyone had cloth wrapped around their feet or other parts.
Seeing such a scene, Zhu Ling suddenly knew that Guan Ning's army was not invincible. They were also human beings. Looking more closely, he found that there was actually a cavalryman among them who had only eighteen men charging into the enemy's formation that day.
Zhu Ling walked towards him, squatted down in front of him, and looked at the opponent's wounds. It was obvious that they were scratched by a spear that day. Also, how could 18 people stand against 5,000 people and remain unscathed?
"How's your leg?"
Suddenly faced with His Majesty's inquiry, the cavalryman seemed at a loss. He wanted to stand up and kneel down, but was stopped by Zhu Ling.
"I have given you, and other injured people, no need to kneel as long as they are injured. This is not only true for me, but also for others. Do you remember?"
"I remember, little one." He didn't dare to look into His Majesty's eyes, but he could feel the sincerity in his tone. The cavalryman's nose instantly felt sore, but he held back the tears that were about to well up.
"Go and open all the wounds. Don't let those dirty clothes block it. Cheng'en."
"My slave is here."
"Bring the medicine."
Wang Chengen knew that His Majesty was going to apply it himself again. This time he learned a lesson and no longer dared to stop it, so he had to quickly hand over one of the bottles to His Majesty.
"Stretch your legs and endure the pain. It will be fine soon." Zhu Ling opened the bottle and told the soldier some before applying it again.
Yang Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and held him down, fearing that he would not be able to bear the pain and hurt His Majesty in a hurry.
The soldier didn't know what it meant. He didn't know the power of the alcohol. He just thought it was some medicine from the royal family. He immediately felt a lot of gratitude to Zhu Ling in his heart. The emperor personally applied the medicine on his body. I'm afraid that this honor was not obtained by those princes, right?
He, Ma Rong, is among them!
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. The pain was so painful that he almost couldn't control his leg and lifted it up. His mouth was so big that he screamed out immediately. Fortunately, Yang Kuo was by his side and held him down.
"It will be fine after a while. Don't get involved in other filth." After a few warnings, Zhu Ling stood up and said to Wang Guoxing who was standing aside: "Stay a few more hours today and give these medicines to all the soldiers.
Smear them all, and I will wipe a few more people later. You and others are watching beside you, so don’t be too careful."
