Chapter 187 If Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead, he will not be called Jingnan, but he will be called Qingjun! (Please subscribe!!)
"The Emperor of Heaven has given an edict: Ouyang Lun, the Right Chief Envoy of Northern Zhili, has made great contributions to disaster relief in Guangdong. He has been promoted to the Left Chief Envoy of Northern Zhili and the Commander of the Capital. He will assist Wei Guogong Xu Da in guarding the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty! The former Northern Zhili Wu Jingzhi, the chief envoy from the left, was transferred to the capital and served as the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I admire this."
"Consort Ouyang, Master Wu, please accept the order!"
The eunuch who delivered the order smiled.
Ouyang Lun was still in a daze, with the corners of his mouth twitching. Seeing this, Wu Jingzhi quickly took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Thank you, sir!"
"We also brought the Queen's words to our family, cough cough." The eunuch who delivered the order coughed twice and imitated Queen Ma's manners and said: "Xiao Lun, you have to work hard this time and don't let His Majesty and me down. Looking forward to a family reunion in Beijing!"
"Your Majesty's decree and the Queen's instructions have been brought to our family. My lords, take your leave!"
"Father-in-law, let me see you off!" Zhao Tianming walked over immediately and pulled the eunuch who delivered the order away. "Father-in-law, my family has collected a lot of good things. It was really hard for my father-in-law to come all the way to deliver the order. Come with me to pick out a few pieces." !”
"I'm afraid it's not good?"
"Hey, don't worry, father-in-law. We have all the father-in-law who came to our Yong'an Mansion to announce the decree before."
"In this case, the Za family won't be polite. No wonder everyone in the palace says that Ouyang Prince Consort is a good and capable person. This is true!"
"Eunuch, please."
"Master Zhao is really lucky to follow Ouyang Consort! Ouyang Consort is valued by Your Majesty and the Empress, and it is estimated that your official position will be promoted before long."
"Thank you, Eunuch, for your kind words."
"We are not just talking nonsense. We have already heard about it in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mao Youfu was promoted to Chief Envoy of Guangdong, you were promoted to Chief Secretary of Beizhili and you also served as the Governor of Yong'an Prefecture, and He Fang was promoted to Tongzhi of the Capital Division. Dozens of other officials who left Yong'an Mansion were promoted." The eunuch who passed the order continued: "Our family may be supported by Ouyang's consort in the future."
Ouyang Lun didn't react until the eunuch who passed the order left.
"Sister, something happened again."
As the official became bigger and bigger, more and more things happened.
"Congratulations, Mr. Ouyang!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Wu!"
Li Fuyuan said with envy: "Master Ouyang has completely corrected the situation, and Master Wu has returned to the capital. Today we in Beizhili are really blessed with double happiness!"
"Such a good thing, I must go to heaven and earth to have a good meal today!" He Fang is also very happy. Although his official position has not been promoted, he has long regarded himself as Ouyang Lun's subordinate. Now the boss has officially been reorganized, from Du Sitong Zhicheng became the commander of the capital. From now on, the military of Beizhili will also be under the control of Ouyang Lun. His life as the commander of the capital will naturally be easier. It is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and promotion and wealth are not a dream.
"Hey, you go and drink. I want to be alone." Ouyang Lun waved his hands with a sad look on his face.
Wu Jingzhi, Li Fuyuan, He Fang and others were also a little confused. Others were overjoyed when they were promoted. That is Ouyang Lun, who felt like he was suffering every time he was promoted.
Everyone thinks differently, so naturally we can't empathize, but it's not easy to disturb.
"Since Mr. Ouyang is in a bad mood, let's go. I'll treat you this time!"
Wu Jingzhi was in a very good mood. He had been ostracized by Hu Weiyong and was demoted to a remote area in Beizhili. Now that Hu Weiyong had been executed, he had returned to the capital. This bad breath came out fiercely, and he felt like he was reborn. Of course, he also knew in his heart that Wu Jingzhi could not get to where he is today without Ouyang Lun. To put it bluntly, he was completely influenced by Ouyang Lun, and he would be deeply bound to Ouyang Lun in the future.
"Master Ouyang, don't worry. When we get to the capital, I will cooperate well with Master Guo Ziguo. If anyone wants to deal with you in the court in the future, I, Wu Jingzhi, will be the first to refuse!"
After saying this, Wu Jingzhi took Li Fuyuan, He Fang and others to say goodbye and leave.
After everyone left, Ouyang Lun scratched his head helplessly, "We tried our best to run from the capital to Kaiping. We haven't had a good life in a few years, but are we going to be dragged back?"
"But now there are still more than ten years before Zhu Yuanzhang dies! If we go back at this time, we will not be used like cattle and horses by Zhu Yuanzhang, and we are very likely to be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Can being beaten really not change the fate of being forced to death? "
Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. We are still in Beizhili, and the ocean-going fleet is also constantly exploring the sea. We really can't take Anqing to the island. I heard that Zhu Di has gone to Peking to join the feudal clan. Maybe we have to find some time. Go talk to Zhu Di. If Zhu Yuanzhang really forces him into a hurry, you can definitely appease him in advance!"
"If Zhu Yuanzhang is alive, it would be inappropriate to call him Jing Nan. Well, he can be called Qing Junzi!"
He didn't have a choice before, but it's different now. He, Ouyang Lun, is no longer at the mercy of others! "Lao Zhu, don't force me!"
Beijing, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhu Yuanzhang had just come back from the Tai Chi Palace for the morning, with a smile on his face. Since the "Guangdong Epidemic" incident was resolved, the Ming Dynasty has become smooth and everything has gone smoothly. Moreover, after the "Hu Weiyong Case" and the "Empty Seal Case" were cleaned up, the Ming Dynasty The bugs among the officials have been eliminated to a large extent. Even the most hidden corrupt officials will be restrained in a short time. Other officials are even more diligent and caring for the people. Nowadays, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be clean and clear.
With fewer worries, my mood will naturally improve.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to pick up the memorial and start reviewing it, but he stopped midway, as if he had thought of something.
"Wang Zhong."
"I'm here." Wang Zhong responded quickly.
"Do you know how Ouyang Lun is doing recently? Have you been to Peiping?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
"This" Wang Zhong was a little confused, "To answer your Majesty, I really don't know the news about Ouyang's consort, but the eunuch who went to Yong'an Mansion to deliver the order came back a few days ago."
"Did you ask Ouyang Lun what his expression was after hearing my imperial edict?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.
"The old minister asked, and the eunuch who delivered the edict said that Ouyang Prince Consort looked a little reluctant after hearing the imperial edict." Wang Zhong saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned a little dark, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it was probably the eunuch who was delivering the edict. The eunuch made a mistake, Prince Consort Ouyang was not reluctant, but was so moved that he could not speak."
"Even worried about betraying His Majesty's trust."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately rolled his eyes, "I think the eunuch who passed the order was right. This boy Ouyang Lun is obviously unwilling! He must be dissatisfied that I gave him too little reward."
"Wang Zhong, go and fetch Jiang Yu." "Yes."
After a while, Jiang Wei, led by Wang Zhong, hurried to the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yu, pays homage to your Majesty."
"Jiang Wei, tell me about the situation in Beizhili recently. I want to hear it in more detail." Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and spoke calmly.
Before coming in, Jiang Wei had inquired with Wang Zhong clearly. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry about the situation in Beizhili was false, and he wanted to know about Ouyang Lun's situation. So after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Back to Your Majesty. , this morning I received news from Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, that Beizhili is still repairing cement roads and highways as usual. The travel between various prefectures, counties and towns is becoming faster and faster, and the fishing industry is also developing rapidly. Now Beizhili There are dozens of seafood stalls, large and small.”
Now that he knows what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to hear, he can't go straight to the topic right away, otherwise he will be suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Wei's report, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Is there nothing else besides these? My imperial decree to make Ouyang Lun the governor of Northern Zhili has been gone for so long, why did it not happen? No news?"
"Can't you Jin Yiwei even look down on Ouyang Lun?"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Jiang Wei was overjoyed and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Ouyang Prince Consort is naturally our top priority target for surveillance. As far as we know, Ouyang Prince Consort was delayed in Yong'an Mansion for a while after receiving the imperial edict. It took two days, but in the end I took the people to Peking."
"Then has he gone to Peiping now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.
Once Ouyang Lun arrived in Peiping, it meant that Ouyang Lun officially began to govern Beizhili. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to know what North Zhili could develop into in the hands of Ouyang addition, Ouyang Lun is no longer a civil servant, but also a military general, responsible for the safety of the Ming Dynasty's northern frontier! Moreover, Xu Da, the Ming Dynasty's Almighty God of War, was also in Beiping City at the moment. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to know if there would be any story when Ouyang Lun and Xu Da met! I really want to go to Peking to see Na with my own eyes.
"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang has been delayed on the way for more than half a month, and he is still probably several days away from Beiping City." Jiang Wei said truthfully with an embarrassed look on his face.
Ok? ! ? Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned on the spot, and then asked: "What's going on? It's only two or three hundred miles from Yong'an Mansion to Beiping City, but Ouyang Lun can actually walk for more than half a month? Is he a snail!!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's angry look, Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are two main reasons why Ouyang Prince Consort walks so slowly. First, whenever Ouyang Prince Consort goes to a place with good scenery, he has to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Anqing. Stop to enjoy the wine and occasionally have hot pot on the spot. Secondly, when the people of Beizhili heard that Ouyang Prince Consort was going to Beiping City, they cheered on both sides of the road to greet him. Especially the people of Yong'an Mansion, even pulled Ouyang Prince Consort's hand. The carriage won’t let you go!”
After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt envious and jealous.
The people's support for such officials is enough to show that Ouyang Lun is more important than him as the emperor in the minds of the people in the northern Zhili prefectures.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to continue asking about other things, he suddenly noticed that Jiang Yu's face was a little panicked, and he immediately asked: "Jiang Yu, has something happened in Beizhili again?"
"If there's anything you can't say, just say it quickly."
"Yes." Jiang Wei mustered up his courage and said quickly: "Your Majesty, after the people of Yong'an Mansion heard that Ouyang Prince Consort was going to Peiping, many people privately insulted the imperial court and your Majesty."
"Damn!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he stood up from the dragon throne, his eyes filled with anger, "Swearing at the court and me is a serious crime!"
"Come on."
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to order those people who insulted the court and him to be arrested, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought that the folk customs in Yong'an Mansion were quite tough!
If someone were to be arrested suddenly, I am afraid it would arouse even greater public outrage.
After some consideration, I decided to ask clearly before talking.
"Hurry up and tell me what those people in Yong'an Mansion are scolding me for!"
"Ah" Jiang Wei looked ugly and already regretted reporting this matter.
"Speak quickly, or I will punish you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
Hearing this, Jiang Wei did not dare to hide it, and said bravely: "In reply to Your Majesty, the people in Yong'an Mansion said that there must be no one in the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, why would there be problems there and transfer Master Ouyang?" Where to go!"
Although he was very angry, he could still accept this sentence. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Continue."
"The people also scolded Your Majesty, but the words were a bit unpleasant, and I really couldn't say it out loud," Jiang Wei said worriedly.
"Say, I pardon you innocent."
"Yes, the people of Yong'an also said that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really getting more and more stupid. He only sold corvees to make money a few days ago. Later, he could not even deal with the epidemic in Guangdong. He is simply a stupid emperor. If it weren't for Mr. Ouyang, the Ming Dynasty would probably be destroyed. Your Majesty, sir. I feel that these people in Yong'an Mansion have gone too far! They have no idea how much His Majesty has paid for the Ming Dynasty!" Jiang Wei quickly said: "After my people heard the news, they argued with these people on the spot and corrected them. mistake."
"The results of it?"
"As a result, four of my front teeth were knocked out!" Jiang Wei said helplessly.
"Trash!" Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes on the spot, "Jin Yiwei had his teeth knocked out by the common people."
"My people were naturally unconvinced, so they called the other Jinyi guards who were stationed in Yong'an Mansion and vowed to regain their position." Jiang Wei continued.
"You won't win again, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.
"We won the battle this time, but in the end they were all arrested and taken to prison by the officials who came over. In the end, Mao Xiang came forward and bailed them out." Jiang Wei said with a bitter face.
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, pointed at Jiang Yu's nose and said, "You still have the nerve to say it!"
Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the people of Yong'an Mansion really went too far! They said they would transfer Mr. Ouyang away. What will happen to their future lives? If they fail, will His Majesty the Emperor be responsible?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his mouth twisted, "These unscrupulous people, I only asked Ouyang Lun to go to Peiping to help Xu Da, and I didn't ask Ouyang Lun to go elsewhere. Aren't they all in Beizhili anyway?!"
"If I had transferred Ouyang Lun to the capital or let him stay in Guangdong, wouldn't the people of Yong'an Mansion have to rebel on the spot!!"
"They are worthy of saying that I am a foolish king. If I hadn't unified the world and allowed them to live in peace, they would still be doing nothing under the rule of the Yuan people! If I hadn't insisted on the Northern Expedition and guarded the north with heavy troops, They still have time to scold me!!"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy roar, Jiang Yu could only keep nodding.
