Chapter 28                                                             �

Gao Gong didn't think he was digging Zhou Mengchen's corner. In Gao Gong's opinion, Zhou Mengchen was not his own right-hand man. So Zhou Mengchen's subordinates were naturally under his command of Gao Gong. Isn't that a natural thing?

Gao Gong has greatly consolidated his foundation with Zhou Mengchen's support. Similarly, Zhou Mengchen has Gao Gong's support, leaving Beijing temporarily will not be a problem.

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "Xu Jie's tricks are perfect. I am no match for me at all. If you want to beat Xu Jie, you must attack in a place that Xu Jie could not imagine. But where is Xu Jie's unexpected?"

Zhou Mengchen had some thoughts in his heart, but he still couldn't grasp the key points.

However, even if I thought about it, it would be something that happened next. Now that this game has come to this point, Zhou Mengchen reflects on himself. He has really prepared too little and has been in a passive state. It is not a matter of course. But it is reasonable.

Fortunately, Zhou Mengchen can afford to lose.

"Gemaster Xu, the future is long." Zhou Mengchen said in his heart.

The Crown Princess was happy, which was the first great event in the palace in the past ten years. Jiajing's daughter, that is, Jiajing for more than twenty years. Speaking of which, there have been more than ten years in the palace.

The arrival of this newborn also made Jiajing very happy.

It was several days after Jiajing summoned Zhou Mengchen again. Although the Crown Princess was happy, she was pregnant for ten months. When the baby was born, it was probably the end of the year or the beginning of next year.

There is also the possibility of a daughter.

Jiajing celebrated for a few days. If it were the eldest grandson of the emperor, it would probably not stop in ten or half a month.

Zhou Mengchen sighed in his heart. His biggest influence in this era was probably to break the prophecy that the two dragons did not meet each other, and to make the relationship between Jiajing and the prince not very good. But at least it is relatively normal.

Jiajing is still very looking forward to this eldest grandson.

It’s not like Jiajing is cold to Wanli in history. He seems to be a stranger.

Of course, it was also because of Zhou Mengchen's arrival and Li Yunzhen's existence that the Crown Princess, who is the original wife of King Yu in history, lived for so long, and now she is still pregnant. The child she gave birth to would not be Emperor Wanli in history.

But the names are probably the same. After all, the name of the Ming Dynasty royal family is too unfree. The name of three characters is determined by two and a half. There is too little free space.

The good names left behind may not be able to count them with both hands.

Of course it won't be much different. Even the same.

Zhou Mengchen also sighed a little and said in his heart: "I wonder how this eldest grandson of the emperor is compared with the Wanli Emperor in history?"

Zhou Mengchen then shook his head secretly and withdrew his thoughts. After all, there was not a single word yet. The Crown Princess's child might look like, but there were too many of them.

It seemed that because the Crown Princess was happy, Jiajing was full of spring breeze and was in good spirits, and even his hair seemed to be a few black.

Jiajing greeted Zhou Mengchen. Jiajing took Zhou Mengchen's memorial on the reform of the military system, looked carefully, and asked, "I have some questions about the new military system. I would like to ask Zhou Qing to teach me."

"I dare not." Zhou Mengchen said quickly: "Your Majesty has an inquiry, and I will speak everything I know and say everything."

Jiajing said, "Okay." Then he started asking questions.

They are all very details about the recruit system. Zhou Mengchen was a little happy. After all, judging from the details of Jiajing's question, Jiajing has put a lot of effort into it. What kind of person is Jiajing? He has not cared about government affairs like this for many years.

How could Zhou Mengchen not be flattered?

Jiajing finally concluded: "What Zhou Qing said is very good and can be regarded as the example of the Ming Dynasty. However, this matter is of great importance and must be cautious. Zhou Qing thinks who can take on this important task?"

When Zhou Mengchen heard Jiajing's words, his heart was cold. He immediately remembered Gao Gong's words that day. He had to admit that Gao Gong had guessed Jiajing's thoughts correctly.

Who is most suitable for this matter? This is a question that you can know the answer without asking. The whole plan is done by Zhou Mengchen. No one is more familiar with the new military system than Zhou Mengchen, and no one is more familiar with the army than Zhou Mengchen, and no one is more prestigious in the army than Zhou Mengchen.

No one is more suitable for this matter than Zhou Mengchen.

But Jiajing asked Zhou Mengchen who is suitable?

The premise is that Jiajing doesn't want Zhou Mengchen to do this anymore.

Zhou Mengchen could naturally understand this meaning. When Jiajing said this, he actually made his own thoughts. What could Zhou Mengchen say?

Zhou Mengchen said, "I think Yang Bo is an old minister and has served as the Minister of War. The situation in Liaodong has improved greatly, and Yang Bo is the most suitable one."

Zhou Mengchen can only recommend Yang Bo.

First of all, this was something Zhou Meng had discussed with Yang Bo. Zhou Mengchen owed Yang Bo a favor. Secondly, he also wanted to install his own arm to help among the six ministries. However, Zhou Mengchen vaguely felt it.

That is, after Yang Bo returned to Beijing to become the Minister of War. The ally relationship between Zhou Mengchen and Yang Bo was probably gradually alienated.

The reason is very simple.

First, Jiajing probably won't let Yang Bo get too close to Zhou Mengchen. Secondly, when he got to the position of Minister of War, Yang Bo had no choice but to Zhou Mengchen. The two even turned into competitors.

The cabinet had become the highest authority in Jiajing dynasty. However, the cabinet had only a few places. Yang Bo also wanted to enter. Zhou Mengchen also wanted to enter. However, the cabinet could not accommodate so many people.

This is the case in politics, especially among civil servants, breaking up and getting back together is normal.

Jiajing said: "Yang Bo is good. Who should reform the Five Army Governor's Office?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "This is not something that the minister can say. Please make your decision."

Jiajing said: "How about Duke Feng?"

Zhou Mengchen felt aroused, and a bad premonition surged into his heart, and he said to himself: "Does Your Majesty want to dismantle my power?"

Jiajing's power and tricks were naturally the best in the world. For him, he had suspicion of Zhou Mengchen, and a little trick could cause Zhou Mengchen's power to collapse.

No matter what Zhou Mengchen thought, he could only respond at this moment and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and I think this is the same."

When Jiajing saw Zhou Mengchen like this, he felt a little ashamed.

He thought to himself: "Am I too sensitive?"

Xu Jiejin's slander was also very skillful. He interfered with suspicion about Jiajing in a few words. Even though Jiajing absolutely did not do anything unspeakable, he also made some precautions for Zhou Mengchen in order to prevent problems before they happened.

It seems that even if Zhou Mengchen does not recommend Yang Bo, his parting with Yang Bo will only be faster. No, today's affairs only need to be passed on to Yang Bo's ears. Once Yang Bo knows, Zhou Mengchen has the opportunity to recommend him as the Minister of War. It is not recommended.

What did Yang Bo think? What would the Shanxi merchants think?

Therefore, when Jiajing absolutely attacked Zhou Mengchen, all this was destined, and Zhou Mengchen was gone from the support of the Jingying. The Shanxi merchant faction would gradually become alienated from Zhou Mengchen in the future.

Zhou Mengchen's forces in the army and the forces in the court would be greatly hit.

After being dealt with by Jiajing, Jiajing felt much more at ease. He would like to give him a sweet date even if he slapped him. Then Jiajing said, "Zhou Qing made great achievements in Nanjing, and now he has made contributions to the prince and the Grand Tutor. He will also receive three salary."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I thank Your Majesty."

Jiajing said: "The prince asked the presidency of martial arts matters. But he didn't know the matter. You have to worry more."

The reward Jiajing gave Zhou Mengchen was to make Zhou Mengchen the prince's residence, implying that he would have great use in the future as the prince ascended the throne, as for the three salary, that is, three times the salary.

To Zhou Mengchen, it is nothing.

After all, when Zhou Mengchen built the Beijing City, he left a street with the main road of the outer city. At that time, it was empty. It seemed like a wilderness, but after a small year of development, although the outer city was not as prosperous as the inner city, it was not the same as it was before. The shops in Liangdao Street could earn 10,000 or 20,000 taels a year by collecting rent.

Not to mention, the Zhou family has other businesses. These three salary means more honor.
