"When it comes to good luck, it's really not as good as that of your cheap niece and son-in-law. I'm just a kid from a poor family. He won the first prize in school, married the richest daughter of your old Li family, and was not as good as a weak official."
It has reached the fifth level..." Wei Guogong Xu Peng raised his wine glass, paid respect to Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu, and continued the topic just now.
"Luck? I thought so before, but I don't see it that way now..." Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu and Wei Guogong Xu Pengju clinked their wine glasses. After drinking the wine in the glass, they shook their heads slightly and slowly
said.
"Oh, why?" Wei Guogong Xu Pengju asked curiously.
"Let's talk about studying first. You must be lucky to get the number one scholar, but can you get the number one scholar if you are lucky? In addition to his intelligence, Zihou's diligence is rare in my life. The lights are on at three o'clock and the chickens are on at five o'clock, all of them are studying hard, and even if
I won the top prize and studied diligently. As for the sensual behavior of dogs and horses, I have never heard of it. If those two brats in my family have a son and work hard, I can wake up laughing in my sleep. I won’t say much about getting a wife. As a person, I
Elders, it’s not right to make irresponsible remarks about the life in the backyard of the younger generation. As for being an official, Zihou’s promotion to the fifth rank cannot be explained by the word “luck and luck”. Let me give two examples. The first one is that Zihou was in
It is not something ordinary people can do in the capital to inspect the Taicang bank with their bare buttocks; secondly, he relied on his real military exploits to rise in Jingnan. More than 3,000 Japanese pirates attacked Jingnan County, and Zihou relied on less than 100 government officials and soldiers.
, fought against more than 3,000 Japanese pirates, and not only successfully defended Jingnan County, but also captured 824 Japanese pirate heads. 824, Brother Dapeng, as the Yingtian garrison and in charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion,
Over the years, how many Japanese pirate heads have been captured?!"
Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu put down his wine glass and praised Zhu Pingan profusely, emphasizing that Zhu Pingan's success was not due to luck.
In fact, the Marquis of Linhuai really didn't like Zhu Ping'an at first, but later he changed his view little by little until now.
"Ahem, haven't the Japanese pirates ever been to Yingtian? I don't have a chance. As generals, we have the blood of our ancestors flowing in our bones. When we lead troops to fight, we are no weaker than others. If the Japanese pirates dare to attack us in Yingtian,
Come and kill one of our brothers, come and kill a pair of two of us, come and build a thousand of our brothers into a Jingguan..."
The Duke of Wei, Xu Pengju, coughed and felt a little embarrassed. After pouring himself a drink, he spoke boldly again.
"That's true..." Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu nodded, but did not deny Wei Guogong's heroic words.
"When he comes to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to punish and punish, which branch of the inspection department is in charge?" Wei Guogong Xu Pengju asked again, "Do you want to operate it and stay in Yingtian? Recently, the Japanese pirates seem to be crazy, repeatedly violating the border, and local prefectures and counties have been harassed repeatedly.
, it is quite risky to go on patrol in different places. The city of Yingtian is big and deep, and there are many troops stationed there. The Japanese pirate Xiaoxiao does not dare to come to seek death. He stays in Yingtian and is safe. In special times, it is better to take care of one or two."
"It's too late. As soon as he came, he took over the responsibility of raising punishments and preparing military preparations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces." The Marquis of Linhuai sighed.
"Military Preparation?! This is a position that usually takes the blame and has no results...and you took over the military preparation as soon as you came here. You treat me like a brother, it's not me who said that, no matter whether it is the errand of taking over the military preparation this time
, it was the last time I interfered with Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Mr. Yan Ge in the capital. Your niece-in-law acted a little too hastily." Wei Guogong twitched his lips and commented.
"No one can say otherwise. Zihou is capable, but he does things a little too hastily. However, it is normal for young people to have strong blood. For example, the emperor Zihou came to my house to visit me the other day. He talked about the Japanese pirates and learned about the navy.
In view of the current situation, Zihou suggested that I go to Shusheng and ask for the construction of 200 more warships on the grounds that the Japanese pirates have been causing disturbances for many years and the warships are insufficient, so as to restore the old number so as to expel the Japanese pirates and play the role of the navy." Linhuai Marquis said.
Then he informed Wei Guogong of the suggestions made by Zhu Ping'an when he visited him the day before yesterday.
"Huh?! Please build more warships and restore the old ones so that the navy can play its role..." Upon hearing this, Duke Guo of Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he had been enlightened and someone had opened up the two channels of Ren and Governor.
"Yes, we even mentioned changing sand ships based on hydrological conditions to facilitate naval operations..."
Marquis Linhuai continued.
When Wei Guogong heard this, his eyes lit up even more, just like two bonfires under the dark night.
"Zihou's suggestion is good, but it is too hasty. The Holy Father only approved the memorial of the predecessor Shi Caojiang to reduce the number of warships by half two years ago. Now I am admonishing him to add more warships and restore the old number. This is not contrary to the Holy Spirit.
Is it? Although Zihou also said that the situation is different now and then. The Japanese invasion was controllable years ago, but now it is out of control and becoming increasingly rampant... But it is still a bit too hasty. "
The Marquis of Linhuai knocked on the table lightly and concluded.
"Well, it is indeed a bit too hasty." Wei Guogong nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's not talk about Zihou, let's talk about the recent appointment and dismissal of officials..." Linhuai Marquis poured a glass of wine for Wei Guogong and brought the topic to the recent appointment and dismissal of officials.
However, the Duke of Wei was a little absent-minded next. The Marquis of Linhuai knew that the Duke of Wei's rear house was in chaos recently. The legitimate wife of Duke Wei, Zhang, died early and left no heirs. According to the eldest son inheritance system, if there is no legitimate eldest son, then the legitimate son should be established as a concubine.
The eldest son inherited the title. However, Duke Wei did not intend to make his eldest son inherit the title. Instead, he intended to make his favorite concubine Zheng's son inherit the title. In order to achieve his goal, Wei Guogong even intended to make his favorite concubine Zheng the title.
She was the wife of the Duke of Wei. For this reason, the back house of the Duke of Wei was in a state of turmoil and could not talk about it. The Marquis of Linhuai thought that the Duke of Wei had thought about the affairs of the back house and did not think anything of it.
After having a drink, the Duke of Wei hurriedly returned to his house. Looking at the hurried back of the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Linhuai was even more sure that the Duke of Wei was worried about the affairs of his family.
However, what the Marquis of Linhuai didn't know was that the Duke of Wei hurriedly returned to his residence. He did not go back to the back house to put out the fire, but immediately came to the study, put down pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and began to draft a memorial.
"Xu Pengju, who is responsible for the garrison of Yingtian and is also in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army..."
If Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu were here, he would be shocked to find that the memorial written by Wei Guogong almost copied the advice given to him by Zhu Ping'an. From the reasons to the suggestions, it was almost word for word.
"You treat me like a brother, I'm sorry. Since you don't adopt Zhu Zihou's suggestion, then I will be ashamed to use it. You also know that my eldest son is useless, my younger son is decent, and I want my younger son."
Xijue, I need this merit. If the Holy Spirit approves my memorial, then it will be easier for me below... In fact, rather than saying that Zhu Zihou acted too hastily, I would rather say that you are too cautious in your treatment of my brother.
....."
After Wei Guogong finished writing the memorial, he checked the memorial for any omissions and started talking to himself.
