The ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Chen hour.

Zhu Changzi was gently awakened by Li Bao. The sky was getting brighter. After washing up, Li Bao reported to Zhu Changzi: "Your Highness, at night, the elders were discussing the candidates to go to Huguang. Ma Shoufu and Huang Ge elders had a conflict and had a scuffle.

After getting up, Ruan Dacheng, who heard the commotion, broke into the cabinet room to assist the horse's head with boxing. Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Jiang Ge couldn't fight and were accidentally injured."

After hearing this, Zhu Changzi's brows jumped. He knew that officials in the Ming Dynasty liked to fight, but how dignified were the elders in the cabinet when they fought!

"Is the person seriously injured?" Zhu Changzi asked with a stern face.

"Back to Your Highness, the injury is not serious." Li Bao answered carefully.

Zhu Changqi nodded. Zhang Huangyan should have left for Huguang overnight. The cabinet should not be delayed in selecting people. As the chief minister, Ma Shiying is really useless if he can't handle such a small thing!

"Go to the cabinet." Zhu Changzi thought for a while and decided to go to Ma Mansion in person.

"Yes!" Li Bao hurriedly went to arrange a ride.

......

At this time in the Ma Mansion, Ma Shiying was looking at her face in the bronze mirror in the bedroom. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Huang Daozhou was really punching him. Half of his teeth were loosened by such a punch.

Front yard class room.

Huang Daozhou was sitting at his desk silently handling the affairs at hand, with a clear slap mark on his face.

At this time, the clerk on duty outside the door came to report.

"The prison has arrived!"

Several cabinet ministers had just stood up when they saw Zhu Changzi had walked in. Jiang Yueguang and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute and invited Zhu Changzi to take a seat.

"Where's the Mayao grass?" Zhu Changzi asked with a gloomy face.

"Back to the prison country, Ma Shoufu is feeling unwell today and has asked for leave." Jiang Yueguang answered with cupped hands. Seeing that King Lu looked bad, he felt a little uneasy.

When Zhu Changzi heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and then asked: "Have you chosen the person who will go to Huguang to recruit?"

"I have decided on a few people, but Ma Shoufu rejected them all." Gao Hongtu explained.

"Tell me who you have appointed?" Zhu Changzi already knew that Ma Shiying wanted Ruan Dacheng to go. This time he reorganized the court and Ruan Dacheng was not included in the appointment. Ma Shiying wanted to bring Ruan Dacheng into the court.

"The former Chief of Staff was assigned to Zhang Zhengchen, the former Chief of Military Affairs was assigned to Chen Zilong, and the former Chief of the Civil Service Examination Department was Xia Yunyi. All three of them can take on this important task." Jiang Yueguang hurriedly recommended.

Zhu Changzi was not very familiar with the three of them and had not noticed them before he came to this world. However, he knew that Jiang Yueguang was known as a virtuous person and the people he recommended should be safe and reliable.

"Then we will promote Zhang Zhengchen to the position of Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and add him as the right deputy of the Imperial Censor, and go to Huguang to supervise the recruitment matters." Zhu Changzi immediately made a decision.

"The sage who supervises the country!" the three cabinet ministers said in unison.

After deciding the matter, Zhu Changzi stood up and asked the clerk on duty to lead the way, preparing to go visit Ma Shiying who was feeling unwell.

At this time, Ma Shiying already knew the news that King Lu had arrived at his house, and hurriedly pretended to lie on the bed, with a towel on his forehead and humming.

Ruan Dacheng sat beside his bed, feeding Ma Shiying an unknown decoction.

The door was pushed open, and Zhu Changzi heard a cry as soon as he came in.

"Old horse...old horse!" Ruan Dacheng howled. He sounded very affectionate.

Zhu Changzi sneered in his heart, Ruan Dacheng is really a good actor.

"Is Ma Shoufu seriously ill?" Zhu Changzi asked calmly.

Hearing King Lu's voice, Ruan Dacheng hurriedly put down the medicine bowl in his hand, stood up and saluted, and then pointed to Ma Shiying on the bed with a sad look on his face and said: "Jian Guo, look at how Ma Shouxu was beaten. Can you?"

I have to uphold justice for the chief minister!"

"Oh~ I have already reprimanded Zodiac Zhou, but Ma Shoufu needs to have a good rest. I will send the best medical officer in the palace after I return."

"Thank you so much, Jian Guo. Jian Guo is really considerate of his ministers and has the demeanor of a saintly king!" Ruan Dacheng complimented.

At this time, Ma Shiying, who was lying on the bed, hummed vaguely a few times.

"Ma Shoufen, please have a good rest. All cabinet matters will be temporarily handed over to Jiang Yueguang. I will give the Chief Minister a long vacation to take good care of his body." Zhu Changxi said with a concerned look.

Ruan Dacheng was stunned and thought something bad was going on! So he glanced at Ma Shiying who was lying on the bed with some embarrassment, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you so much, Supervisor..."

Afterwards, Zhu Changzi left Ma Mansion. On the way back, he asked Li Bao to send two medical officers to Ma Mansion to take good care of Ma Shoufu. He also specifically asked: Do not stop taking the medicine.

Li Bao was smart and understood what King Lu meant in an instant. He immediately felt worried for Ma Shoufu. Others always took medicine while lying down. <

/p>

As soon as I returned to the palace, I saw Lu Zhenfei waiting at the door.

"Why are you here?" Zhu Changzi got off the carriage and asked.

"I'm going to Zheng Hongkui's camp today to purge the navy, and I'm here to ask for the seal of the Supervisor's Order!" Lu Zhenfei said politely. Originally, he planned to go directly, but Zhu Dadian, the Minister of War, told him that King Lu had the decree to supervise the State.

Now all ministries must hold the royal seal token or the governor's order arrow to act effectively.

Zhu Changzi understood, nodded with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "Your hard work has paid off. Zheng Yingzhou Division must be in the hands of the imperial court. For the battle of Hangzhou, Jiang defense will be left to you!"

"The minister is here, Jiang Fang is here." Lu Zhenfei said confidently. He had been the governor of water transportation for so many years and was familiar with rivers and boats. This time he was entrusted with the important task of admiral Jiang Fang. This is the full trust of King Lu.

He will never let him down.

So Zhu Changzi ordered Li Bao to get the token and seal, give them to Lu Zhenfei, and give him a few words of encouragement.

Seeing that Lu Zhenfei hadn't gone far, a soldier rushed over from the other side, saluted hurriedly and reported: "To report to the Supervisory State, Governor Zhang ordered the young man to send a message. The Governor's Yamen has selected three thousand soldiers from the guards in eastern Zhejiang.

We have already entered the city and are currently stationed at the northwest campus. In addition, Fang Guo's camp is entering the city to receive the defense."

"I know, let's go." Zhu Changzi nodded. With the three thousand more soldiers, he felt more at ease, and the chance of winning in defending the city was a little better. But this was not what he wanted. The key to defense lies in attacking. It's just that

If you defend to the death, you will be killed by the Qing army sooner or later.

Besides, being beaten passively is not the style of the First Emperor Ying Zheng!

After entering the mansion, Zhu Changzi spread out his pen and ink in the study and wrote something on the paper. Then he called Li Bao, handed the paper to him, and ordered him to make ten swords according to what was written on the paper.

Li Bao carried the paper, disguised himself, and went to handle the matter in person.

Since Prince Lu moved to Hangzhou, he had no offices and no craftsmen of his own, so he found the most famous blacksmith in Hangzhou, handed the paper to him, and told the blacksmith to use the best materials, no matter how much it cost.

, he will pay double.

The blacksmith was overjoyed. He didn't expect such a good deal, so he spread out the paper and read it.

Li Bao winked at the little eunuch who was following him. The little eunuch understood and walked to the blacksmith and stared closely.

"This... is three feet and six inches, shaped like a willow leaf. This seems to be the size of Qin Jian." The blacksmith said doubtfully.

"Just make the sword, and don't ask any questions. This little brother of mine will stay with you." Li Bao said expressionlessly.

The little eunuch who was staring at the blacksmith saw that he had finished reading, so he took the paper and put it into his arms.

Li Bao took out an ingot of gold and gently pressed it into the blacksmith's hand.
Chapter completed!
