Chapter 94 Pressing the armor and sending out the strings (1)
After hearing what Eunuch Lu said, the sergeants and craftsmen felt very uneasy and had nowhere to turn, so they had to rush to the Second Sijin for help. They blocked the front and back of the tent and complained everywhere. Cun Zhao saw the general trend.
Having made up his mind, he walked out and said: "Although we are noble emperors,
In the end, you are just following orders, there is no good solution. It is useless for you to cause trouble here, and you should act according to the father-in-law's orders and build as many as you can. Then I will negotiate with him to see if the situation can improve.
...Be aggrieved and just take it one step at a time."
When everyone saw that the second prince was in such distress, they didn't want to embarrass them any more. They just made a fuss and went back to their barracks, still being disciplined. Tomorrow morning, they sent the weapons and armor to the arsenal, and from then on the three of them
On the fifth day, he was called to the school field for training, and gradually became accustomed to it; while the craftsmen worked hard to make weapons, their hands and feet were exhausted, and they did not take much rest. They all took Eunuch Lu's words seriously, and no one could detect the conspiracy behind it.
.
Faced with such a favorable situation, Emperor Taisu found it difficult to maintain a steady style. He paced back and forth excitedly in the study, his eyes seeming to be staring at the bright future. He had already thought of himself standing in the hall.
, scolded Liu Zhennian to the point where he knelt down and begged for mercy. He was driven by this strong desire.
He became more and more anxious and hurriedly summoned Cunzhao for discussion, saying: "This drama between us and Eunuch Lu has been a great success. In my opinion, when trouble is about to happen, you must not miss the opportunity! You must hurry up!"
A confidant informed Chen Tongpao that we will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow, and asked him to follow us."
Cun Zhao glanced at him in surprise and saw that he was full of energy. He didn't dare to disturb his interest. He just smiled and said: "Uncle, my uncle is old but his ambition is not old. He is really better than the younger generation. Cun Zhao is really ashamed. It's just a matter of selection."
With such a big mess happening, Qingliu's people are not convinced... I'm afraid it will hold us back. We'd better listen to Chen Shi... Chen Shangshu's arrangements."
Tai Su sighed: "Although those Qingliu fought so hard, they are even more gnashing their teeth at Liu Dang. Besides, if there is a conflict between them, shouldn't it be transferred to Liu Dang?"
"However, preparations are not complete yet..."
"Don't talk to me about this! I don't want to hear it!" Tai Su was still angry and said with bared teeth, "Go quickly! Do you, a young boy like you, want to disobey your elders?"
Cun Zhao was silenced by this sentence and hurriedly said yes, but his face was a bit ugly. He didn't say much anymore, he called his confidants over in front of him and gave them instructions one by one. Only then did he express his thoughts to the emperor's uncle.
Chen Tongpao didn't care about the sudden incident in Zhongshu Province. He just let it happen and did not deal with it. Who would have thought that Ge Ming, a Hanlin scholar, was so smart that he not only reported it to the court at the time, but also stabilized the situation.
After a few days of busy work, everything was settled properly for him. No one in the court was upset because of this, and a large-scale impeachment was launched. The dispute was quickly suppressed.
Tongpao Chen wanted to meet this Hanlin scholar whom he had rarely met, so he took advantage of the fact that he was about to be promoted to minister and was about to take over the power, so he invited Ge Mingwei to discuss the matter of selection.
Ge Ming went happily and took a sedan chair to the front of the official office. He got off his horse and went in to meet Chen Tongpao. The two of them saluted and sat across from each other.
"Chen heard that he settled the dispute within a few days. He is really the Qiancheng of the country. He feels ashamed and admires him very much. When I saw him today, he really behaved like a gentleman, which is extraordinary!" Tongpao Chen nodded and said.
Ge Mingwei didn't take it seriously, smiled and dusted his sleeves: "What are you talking about, sir! I have only done a little bit of effort, so why bother! Now that traitors are in power, and even more so when our generation is united, if we don't have this shoulder,
It’s a responsibility, so what are you doing with this salary?”
"Come on, come on, what a bold statement!" Tongpao Chen deliberately raised his tone to cooperate with him, "Secretary Office, serve tea early for this gentleman!"
The clerk walked up with a tray, took down the pots and bowls, and filled them up for Ge Mingwei. When he handed them over, he secretly glanced at his face: he looked about forty years old.
, the eyebrows are as straight as a painting, as if painted with black paint, the eyes also have a resolute light, the bridge of the nose is straight, and he looks like a gentleman.
"It's time to change your clothes." The clerk looked at him again and said with a smile.
"Me?" Ge Ming looked at himself and saw that the official uniform had several cracked patches and its luster was dimmed, making it look like civilian clothes.
He tugged at the lapel of his clothes and laughed loudly: "The clerk didn't know something. Ge was used to being alone since he was a child. This style has not changed since he became an official. He often leaves his clothes without changing them. This one has been worn for twenty years."
"Your Excellency is so incorruptible, but he can only live in the Imperial Academy, buried in piles of paper, and cannot hold great power to rectify the world. This is a pity for this dynasty!"
Ge Mingwei smiled softly again: "Your Excellency, you should know that I have many students who have passed the Hanlin Examination. I don't know how many officials are my disciples and want to recognize me as their teacher. If I want to seek fame and fortune, ask them to support me."
One or two, wouldn't it be convenient? But I don't want to work with those treacherous ministers. This kind of life is more comfortable, and I can't bear the reputation of being disloyal and unjust."
"Now that the traitorous party is about to die, I am trying to restore discipline and order, and I need an open-minded gentleman like you. I wonder if you would like to take charge of the government and save the common people?"
In order not to be worried or happy, Ge Ming lowered his head and thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and said: "If the court needs me, I will fight to the death!"
Tongpao Chen was about to speak again, but he heard someone knocking on the door outside the house. He hurriedly ordered the clerk to look. It turned out to be a military man from the Cun Zhao camp. The man looked at the two people inside and looked frightened. His eyes looked left and right, anxiously.
He took two quick steps back.
"There is no need to panic," Chen Tongpao said soothingly, "This person is also a figure in Qingliu, but it doesn't matter."
"Master Chen, Cun Sijin said that tomorrow they will go to the dormitory to attend the ceremony. Please come with them."
Chen Tongpao deliberately showed an embarrassed expression in front of Ge Mingwei. He pondered for a long time before answering word by word: "Okay, I will definitely go tomorrow."
Ge Mingwei looked at Chen Tongpao's reaction and thought to himself: 'They are so cautious, and they also involve an imperial eunuch, this must be a shocking event... I don't know what the difficulty is, why don't you tell Ming?' He thought for a long time.
, it was difficult to ask, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Chen, are you heading to Da Nei?"
Tongpao Chen turned his head: "Yes, it's just quite risky."
"You don't have to be afraid," Ge Mingwei looked at him firmly. "It's inconvenient for you to go in and out of the imperial palace with your status, but I am a member of the Imperial Academy and sometimes write edicts for His Majesty, so I can go in and out without any hindrance and no one will doubt me. Just let me lead you."
