Upon hearing Gong Haoran's curse, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. A dozen guards on the side quickly stepped forward to guard Wu Shigong, and then some guards surrounded Gong Haoran and his grandson, and they also paid attention to Wu Shigong.
Waiting for Wu Shigong to signal for arrest. His grandson, who was supporting Gong Haoran, looked at the situation around him and his face suddenly turned pale with fear.
In response to Gong Haoran's scolding, Wu Shigong was extremely helpless. Although the number was small, before and after Wu Shigong ascended the throne, there were still some old people and children who took advantage of the opportunity to meet Wu Shigong and made such rash actions. But in general
Under the circumstances, Wu Shigong just expelled these people from the court to end the problem. Of course, for those who were armed with sharp swords and wanted to do evil things, Wu Shigong took thunderous measures such as genocide.
Therefore, it can be said that Wu Shigong's method of dealing with these people is relatively merciful. It is okay to talk, but never take action. Even the censor Zhou Yilun who made Wu Shigong furious at the founding ceremony, Wu Shigong only treated him afterwards.
, demoted him to the local magistrate, and did not punish him harshly.
Wu Shigong looked at Gong Haoran's old face and his grandson who was so frightened that he couldn't stand still. He couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart: before entering the palace, these two people would definitely be searched, and the guards were too nervous.
Are you sure? Are you still afraid that these two people are assassins?
So Wu Shigong joked: "Mr. Gong! Even if you always have some teachings, you should take a breath first! Someone! Bring a chair to Mr. Gong and let Mr. Gong sit on it first. You all get out of the way, Mr. Gong won't do it."
Hurt me, Mr. Gong! It doesn’t matter what you want to say today, I will listen to you."
As soon as Wu Shigong said soft words, Gong Haoran was a little discouraged. After he sat down, he sighed and said to Wu Shigong: "Thank you! Since I returned to my hometown, I have been boasting to the elders in my hometown and boasting about getting to know you.
This man who is both civil and military, loyal and courageous. This time I learned that you went to Beijing to serve the king, and I was very happy. I didn't expect that what I learned in the end was that you sat on the throne. Where does this make me put my face?
Today, I asked my grandson to accompany me here just to give you some advice. The fate of the Ming Dynasty has not been lost, and the prince is still here. Why not give up your throne and support the ZTE of the Ming Dynasty? Why not be a minister of the ZTE who will leave a name in history?
"
Wu Shigong smiled after listening to Gong Haoran's words, and replied: "The Zhu family is not good at being emperor. Then I will do it. If I am not good at it, then someone else will do it. When dynasties change, God wills it, and so does Mr. Gong.
Those who are familiar with "Historical Books" should not understand this truth!"
"But...but you were originally a Mingchen after all." Gong Haoran said.
This time Gong Haoran entered the capital with his passion. However, on the way to the capital, when he saw that China was in ruins and victims were everywhere, he actually understood the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty. Today, he entered the palace and cursed.
, it’s just that the sword is too embarrassed to be sheathed. Gong Haoran hopes that Wu Shigong will be angry and kill his ancestors and grandchildren, and he can also win a good reputation after his death. But when he heard that Wu Shigong wanted to reason properly, Gong Haoran also unknowingly,
Somewhat discouraged.
"Hey——! The capital city was not destroyed by me, and the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not killed by me. What can I do?" Wu Shigong sighed. "At that time, my army was attacked on both sides. It fought fiercely with Zhang Ni in Wuchang, and again in Xuzhou.
Confronted with the Tatars. Hearing that there was an emergency in the capital, I hurried to the capital, but unfortunately it was a step too late. The mainland was about to sink. Who should give this artifact to? Should it be given to Chuangni? Or should it be given to the Tatars? Fortunately, the world has won the world.
The people trust me, so I can only do it reluctantly."
"Then you can't welcome the prince to the throne? The prince is fine!" Gong Haoran immediately caught the loophole in Wu Shigong's words.
"Just give it to a young man?" Wu Shigong shook his head and asked, "Will he be able to turn the tide?"
"Don't I still have my respect for you? Listen to my advice and give up the throne now. The world will only spread your good name, and the court will honor you forever." As he said this, Gong Haoran became a little confused and said
Such wishful thinking.
But Wu Shigong didn't care about Gong Haoran's nonsense. He said frankly: "Do I still want to see another Qin Hui come out? I don't want to be like Yue Wumu who died in Fengbo Pavilion. Let me tell you the truth.
.The wealth and life of my whole family and the civil and military personnel who follow me are all tied to me, and I don’t dare to gamble.”
"Hey——!" Seeing Wu Shigong's strong will, Gong Haoran could only sigh, "Then I'll ask Chang Jing to do one last thing for you, give me a good time, and show my loyalty!"
"Pfft!" After hearing this, Gong Haoran's grandson standing by the side hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Uncle Shi, grandpa is confused. Don't listen to him. If you want to kill me, uncle Shi, please kill me!"
"
"Get up!" Wu Shigong helplessly said, "Mr. Gong! Your family background is really loyal and filial! In fact, whether it is a fault or not will have to wait until the end of time. It cannot be judged by you or me in a few words. But it is mine.
In the Great Ping Dynasty, the throne was not held for life. If the emperor was not diligent in his administration and was not kind to the people of the world, the people could vote by public vote and impeach the emperor to abdicate. If I do not do well, I will not be able to secure this throne."
"Oh?" Upon hearing such new news, Gong Haoran and his grandson immediately pricked up their ears.
"You should live in your old age and watch me govern the world and let the people live and work in peace and contentment! If I don't do well and you come back to scold me, I will never dare to say anything. In the end, it's not all about this world.
Common people?" Wu Shigong assured.
"Then..." After hearing what Wu Shigong said, Gong Haoran still found it difficult to step down, but he didn't know what to say.
"After you return home, you can spread my will widely. See if I am the king who breaks my words." Wu Shigong then used the method of provocation.
"Is this what you Chang Jing said?" Gong Haoran really couldn't stand it.
"Of course! There are still few pillars in my Great Ping Dynasty. I think your son and grandson are all talented and talented. Come to the court and help me!"
"Don't mention this! My Gong family will never serve as an official in the new dynasty." Gong Haoran flatly refused.
"Don't mention this! Don't mention this!" Wu Shigong quickly interrupted Gong Haoran's refusal, "We elders should not interfere with the future of the younger generation. When the time comes, they should choose their own path.
, you don’t have to worry too much. Come on! We haven’t seen you for many years. Come and have dinner with me. I’ve missed you for a long time since we said goodbye.”
…
After finally appeasing Gong Haoran's ancestors and grandchildren, Wu Shigong personally sent them out of the palace, and then began to get busy with state affairs.
After half a year of running-in period, and with the example of Runing and Guide, the government affairs of the new dynasty have gradually become smoother. Now Wu Shigong is grasping a direction, and he is gradually transferring the power of the prime minister to the cabinet.
Therefore, the state affairs that Wu Shigong is currently busy with are basically official conversations and important meetings.
The first person I met today was Zheng Jiao, the envoy of the Zheng family in Fujian.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
As soon as Zheng Jiao entered the Jinluan Hall, he performed a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times. His movements were quite standard and respectful, and the gold bricks on the ground made a "bang bang" sound.
Wu Shigong was holding the gift list that Zheng Jiao had submitted in advance, with a smile on his face. The value of the gift written in this gift list was already more than one hundred thousand taels. Judging from Zheng Jiao's attitude and the value of the gift, it seemed that the Zheng family
Very respectful to Wu Shigong.
But Wu Shigong knew in his heart that being a grassroots person was used to describe people like Zheng Zhilong. Wu Shigong had already learned from the Shanchuan Bureau and the Military Intelligence Bureau: Zheng Zhilong had accepted an official position in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he was in cahoots with the Manchus in Liaodong, and now he
Pretending to be on good terms with Da Ping Chao is completely a multi-billion dollar stance.
At the founding ceremony on New Year's Day, the Zheng family's congratulatory envoy did not arrive. However, on the third day of the first lunar month, Zheng Jiao, as the Zheng family's envoy, arrived at the right time. Although the gifts presented by Zheng Jiao were more generous at that time, Wu Shigong
It has become clear that we can only talk about interests with the Zheng family, and we can never talk about kindness.
"We are old friends. Get up quickly!" Wu Shigong said with a smile.
Hearing Wu Shigong's words, Zheng Jiao was not polite. He immediately got up from the ground. Moreover, Zheng Jiao was also very courageous. He dared to look at Wu Shigong and said a few polite words with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty."
!”
In fact, Zheng Jiao's heart is not as comfortable as he appears on the surface. Back then in Jinling City, Wu Shigong and the Zheng family were strangers to each other. However, as the interests of both sides got closer and the strength they showed, the two sides quickly became friends.
It entered the honeymoon period. But later, with the Zheng family's series of back-and-forth moves, the relationship between the two parties gradually became colder. That is to say, Wu Shigong was unwilling to break up immediately, so the Zheng family stayed in Runing.
It has a foothold.
But even with such a foothold, Wu Shigong could not be contacted. In the end, this contact point turned into a branch of a trading company, and the Zheng family also benefited a lot from Runingjun's business.
As the person responsible for the interests of the Zheng family in the North Zhili region, Zheng Jiao also watched the Runing Army grow step by step. Unfortunately, the Zheng family headed by Zheng Zhilong underestimated this potential defender, resulting in
The current situation is lukewarm.
Zheng Jiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The eldest brother has been looking for the future Lord of the World, just wanting to join him. Unexpectedly, the Lord of the World has always been by the Zheng family. Since the eldest brother was recruited by the imperial court, he has been content with enjoying himself.
Not wanting to make progress, even the vision that I was proud of before is much worse. I think back then, the Zheng family was much more powerful than Wu Shoubei, but now Wu Shoubei has become the supreme leader of the 95th Five-Year Plan. If it had been then
If the eldest brother is really willing to give it a try, maybe the Zheng family will have the same opportunity. What a pity!
Wu Shigong's next question suddenly brought Zheng Jiao back to his thoughts: "Brother Zheng Qi! In the first month of the year, I want you to send a message back to Fujian. I hope that your Zheng family will arrange for some ships to come over. Now where is Zheng Marquis?
