"I didn't expect that my dear brother had such rich experiences in recent years and had given so much heart to the Ming Dynasty. It's great."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zuo Guangdou and said with a smile: "I already know. This time I return to Beijing, do you know what my dear minister wants to go to?"

After hearing this, Zuo Guangdou was stunned, and then said calmly: "I listen to Your Majesty."

In fact, the emperor rarely has any matters of being a minister. Even if the emperor tries to be a minister, the minister cannot tell the emperor casually which yamen he wants to go to, and he doesn't want to be a mess anymore.

Zhu Youxiao was so kind, and he felt relieved when he saw Zuo Guangdou.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "You can fill this vacancy first."

After hearing this, Zuo Guangdou smiled on his face, then stood up and bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty."

In fact, there is nothing out of this arrangement, and it can be considered a normal one.

When the governor who served as a foreign minister was transferred back to the capital, he basically served as the ministers of the six ministries. He always had such rules. Otherwise, he would not have transferred you back, but would have let you wander around outside.

Transferring back to Beijing proves that you have done well; if you don’t do well, you will be sent to Nanjing for retirement instead of coming to Beijing.

The position of the Minister of Works is more in line with this rule.

Usually, after entering Beijing, the arrangements are not big departments. Do not think about the yamen such as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue. Such yamen will not be given to such yamen unless it is specially promoted by the emperor or in any special circumstances.

The old minister may have such treatment when he gets back, and it is impossible for a newcomer to be promoted. Therefore, the Minister of Works is a very suitable position.

"Your bestie, go back now." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, turning his head to look at Wei Chao beside him and instructed again: "Please have someone prepare a carriage to send Zuo Aiqing back, and don't let him leave in the snow."

Driving in the palace is a good treatment given by the emperor, but most people do not have this treatment.

Although he was sent out only once because of heavy snowfall in the sky, it was a rare kindness.

The left bald man lay directly on the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you Your Majesty!"

This is the emperor polite him to let people know that he is the emperor's confidant.

After all, there are clear factions in the court now. If a person like Zuo Guangdou gets in, it is basically difficult to survive in the court, and being excluded is destined.

Especially Han Dong, he may do something. Zhu Youxiao's approach is actually to protect Zuo Guangdou.

After Zuo Guangdou left, Zhu Youxiao did not continue to stay in the Qianqing Palace, but changed places and rushed directly to Queen Zhang's place.

He ate hot pot at Queen Zhang's place at night, so he stayed here to sleep and never returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Recently, Zhu Youxiao has begun to enjoy the leisurely life in the harem again.

In the following days, nothing big happened in the court, and the world was still stable. However, there were many problems with snow disasters everywhere. The court sent many people to provide relief, and various places distributed a lot of food.

In recent years, Zhu Youjiao did the most is to hoard grain and build grain and grass warehouses in various places, which is quite like a rat storing grain for the winter. Now it has finally played a role.

After all, there were many disasters and difficulties after the Ming Dynasty, and there were too many places where food was used in various places. There was no way, so I could only save it slowly.

Time is like water, and the sun and the moon are like water. In a blink of an eye, the eight years of Apocalypse have passed, and the nine years of Apocalypse have arrived.

The spring of the ninth year of the Apocalypse came a little later, and it was still a little colder than last year. The heavy snow melted, which could be said to be the chilly spring, and the entire Ming Dynasty slowly recovered.

However, the atmosphere in the court seemed more solemn, because the Ming Dynasty was about to send troops.

Originally, there were some twists and turns in the court, but the reason was very simple. After all, this year's spring came later and the snow in various places did not melt, which seemed to be a question for this year's spring plowing.

If spring plowing is a problem, this battle may be cancelled.

If spring plowing is a question, it is still not easy to consume large-scale food this year. Although a lot of food is stored, war really consumes food, and it consumes a lot of food.

In such a situation, the cancellation of this war is the best choice. After all, if the snow does not melt, spring will come late and spring cannot be cultivated, and the trouble will be great.

Fortunately, God is quite powerful. When everyone is worried, he still lets out the spring and the snow melts.

The war was put on the agenda, the army was departing and the personnel were departing.

After the army left a few batches, Zhu Youxiao also set off.

This time, Zhu Youxiao went to Liaodong, of course, not for the sake of war. He went to more political purposes and had more economic purposes. He could only push back the war.

This time he was not used for the war, so Zhu Youxiao could enjoy it with peace of mind.

After the news reached Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi could be said to be overly happy.

I have been in Liaodong for eight years. How did I live these eight years?

It's almost nine years, it can be said that it's three years and three years, three years and three years.

Although the official position has been promoted again and again, he is now the governor of Liaodong, but where is this place? Who would like to suffer such hardship here?

If the emperor hadn't given him confidence, he would have long since wanted to do it here. Now this opportunity has finally come, and I can finally take people to destroy Jiannu!

The first few years were the most difficult. I cleaned up the mess in Liaodong and was worried all day long. Then I hid in the city and held back my guards. Life was so sad.

Later, after a war in Liaodong, life became much better. Now it can be said that it is getting better and better.

After destroying Jiannu in this battle, he could leave Liaodong by himself.

First, there is nothing to continue to do, and second, I have been in Liaodong for too long. If His Majesty had not trusted me, I would have probably made someone sieve it long ago.

Retreat and go back and work hard.

Xiong Tingbi began to prepare actively, waiting for Zhu Youxiao to arrive.

The colder the northeastern it is. Although Beijing can be considered north, the overall temperature is pretty good.

The northward you go, the colder it becomes. However, the ground is hard, which is conducive to transportation, so it is best to set off at this time.

When everyone arrived in Liaodong and was ready, the weather began to warm up and it happened to be a war.

Among the teams rushing to Liaodong, there is a team that is very attractive.

The team is very large, with a huge carriage pulled by sixteen tall horses, which looks spectacular.

Of course, this carriage is not someone else's, but Zhu Youxiao's.

The most technological things of the Baigong Academy are used on the carriage, such as plate springs and steel bearings, which allow the carriage to have a little flexibility when it remains stable.

When the car moves forward, it is more stable. The car is also very spacious, like a moving small house.

Zhu Youxiao could live a comfortable life while sitting inside.

This is actually not that important to Zhu Youxiao. In recent years, he can be regarded as traveling around the world. Although he has not suffered much, there is still no problem in rushing to the road.

However, when the carriage was made, it actually received support from many ministers, saying that the emperor was majestic and wanted to be in the country. Therefore, the emperor came to ride such a big carriage to show it to outsiders; after all, this time the emperor was going to Liaodong, not just for war.

After they found all the reasons and were very determined, Zhu Youxiao accepted it. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is not short of horses now, so just find some good horses to pull them.

The sixteen horses pulling the cart were all maroon red, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and they were extremely strict when choosing.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao also knew how luxurious Zhang Juzheng was back then.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this carriage, he felt very luxurious. Even if the emperor sat down, he had passed the game.

But Zhang Juzheng was carried by people at that time. The big sedan chair carried by forty-eight people showed how excessive it was.

Zhang Juzheng taught Emperor Wanli to save money all day long, and even the cost in the palace was cut again and again, and even the lamp was only half lighted.

The monthly money of eunuchs and palace maids has been reduced again and again, and many palaces in the palace have collapsed halfway. Due to the reduction of costs in the palace, the gardens have not been repaired much, making them look deserted and dilapidated.

In comparison, it was Zhang Juzheng's extravagant life. How could the young Emperor Wanli not have a rebellious mentality? How could he not think that Zhang Juzheng was a powerful minister like Cao Cao?

Even in the young mind of Emperor Wanli, he may have been worried for many years, afraid that Zhang Juzheng would replace him, and even colluded with his mother.

After all, Emperor Wanli's mother and Zhang Juzheng had asked him to issue a self-destruction, and he also had a younger brother who was deeply loved by his mother. This also led to the things Emperor Wanli did later.

Cause and effect!

Zhu Youxiao sat upright, pulled himself out of his memories, turned his head to look at Wei Chaoke and said, "Has the person been sent out?"

"Go back to the emperor, you have already gone." Wei Chao said: "The Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Lili, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang all sent people. The head of the Ministry of Rites is Lord Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he had already set out early this morning."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "It's so good."

"Go and invite Sun Chengzong here." Zhu Youxiao said after thinking about it.

This time when I arrived in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao brought Sun Chengzong, but Xu Guangqi was left in the capital.

Before, no matter where Zhu Youxiao went, he brought Xu Guangqi. But this time it was different. Although Xu Guangqi wanted to come, he did not succeed.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao took Sun Chengzong with him was, on the one hand, because he understood military affairs, and on the other hand, because of historical regrets.

No matter what, in the original history, Sun Chengzong died in Liaodong was a bit tragic. The whole family died, and there were very few that kind of determination.

This time, Zhu Youxiao brought Sun Chengzong to him and asked him to witness it. He could discuss anything with him.

As for the British Duke Zhang Weixian, there is no chance. Let him stay in the capital.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong came over.

A senior official like him naturally has his own independent carriage. Although it is not as exaggerated as Zhu Youxiao, it is also a four-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses, which is stable and fast.

Zhu Youxiao also thought last time that these ministers who asked him to change his cart were also for their own sake?

If they change to a big car, they can also change it by the way. Otherwise, they will still be in a small carriage and they will change to a big carriage, which is not a good idea.

They can only be one level smaller than themselves, just like the subordinates of many units in later generations had to change their cars for their leaders.

The leader drives a car worth 300,000 yuan, and you, your subordinate, can only drive a car worth more than 100,000 yuan. But if the leader drives a car worth more than 1 million yuan, it wouldn't be too much for you to drive a car worth 600,000 yuan?

Anyway, what you spend is not the money in your own pocket, but the enjoyment is yourself. No one is unwilling to do this kind of thing, right?
