After listening to Ye Mengding relay Chen Xinshu's "determination", I couldn't help but wonder, what does this mean?
"All the officials in Fujian Road are willing to follow the emperor to revive our dynasty."
Is it Chen Xinshu expressing his determination?
After I ascended the throne, although the local officials in the 13th Route across the country said long live, they were actually waiting to see what changes would happen between the imperial power, the power of the prime minister, and the power of the queen? These veteran officials know very well.
Standing in line is the most important thing for an official.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Mengding recalled the process and said: "Judging from the situation at that time, Chen Xinshu did not tell Shi Hongsheng beforehand. Shi Hongsheng and Zhang Song, who was accompanying the guest, also showed surprise after hearing Chen Xinshu's words. Master, I
Make peace first
Let’s talk about the official attitude of Fujian Road. On the surface, Fujian Road belongs to the post-power faction, but the attitude of its real principals, the Chen family, has always been vague. But one thing I think is certain, Chen
Home in Fujian
Roads are deeply rooted. Two years ago, when Jia Sidao was preparing to implement the public land law, he selected Liangzhe Road and Fujian Road as pilot projects. However, because Fujian Road officials were extremely uncooperative, Jia Sidao had no choice but to finally give up on Fujian Road.
The road implements the public land law. From this point, it can be seen that the Chen family does not buy into the prime minister's account. It is said that it favors the latter power only because Shi Hongsheng was once deeply appreciated by the Queen Mother. As for the imperial power, there is no relationship between the late emperor and the Chen family.
There isn’t much friendship at all.”
At this point, Ye Mengding stopped and thought for a moment before continuing: "Sir, I think there is such a possibility."
"What's possible?"
"The strength shown by the young master after he ascended the throne made Chen Xinshu feel that the future situation in the DPRK would be completely different from that of the late emperor. This time I suddenly appeared in the name of imperial envoy, which made him feel a little uneasy, so Chen Xinshu wanted to go earlier
Make choices to get the most benefit.”
"Then he's not afraid of being in the wrong team?"
"Afraid, he will definitely be afraid, but when it's time to play, he won't hesitate."
I smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, do all the officials in my court think this way?"
"This, this, most of them are." Ye Mengding wiped his sweat and mumbled.
"Well, this is also the normal behavior of officials."
"Young Master Shengming." Ye Mengding said.
"Mr. Ye, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early. The interrogation and investigation will continue tomorrow. Maybe Fujian Road will be involved."
"Yes, sir, I will leave first."
"Well, Lan Yu, please send Mr. Ye off."
After Ye Mengding left, I kept tapping my fingers on the table. For more than half a year, I had always focused on the central court and neglected the local areas. Even the local officials on the Thirteenth Road of the Song Dynasty did not attract my attention. If
These people work together to oppose the imperial power. Even if I can defeat the imperial court, my decrees still cannot be implemented below.
In later generations, even in the most liberal and democratic country on earth, every time the president changes, the governors of each state will try their best to arrange for close associates who can carry out the president's decrees to serve, so as to ensure that the instructions are uploaded and handed down. Otherwise, just like the time of the late emperor, even if
No matter how good the policy is, it will become distorted when it comes to the lower levels, resulting in a situation where everyone is doing their own thing, with policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. But I didn't pay attention to it. It seems that I still lack experience. Fortunately, during this trip to Fujian Road, Chen Xinshu's "determination"
reminded me.
At the same time, I am also glad that the Song Duzong I became in time travel is the only heir to the imperial power in the late Song Dynasty, unlike many emperors who had to kill their brothers and fathers and go through hardships before ascending to the throne. Therefore, I only need to use scheming to succeed.
There is no need to engage in conspiracy, otherwise, I might be killed before I mature.
Does the information Chen Xinshu asked Ye Mengding to pass to me really mean that he chose the imperial power? If so, just let him come to see me directly and get it done at once. If not, what is his purpose?
"Brother, we are back." Fang Ling said excitedly.
"Ling'er, look what time it is." I pretended to be angry.
Fang Ling ignored my appearance at all, sat down and said, "Brother, good news."
"Is there any news about Gao's descendants?"
"Of course, if I take action, I will be able to capture you."
"Really, then you should be rewarded well."
Fang Ling said hurriedly: "Brother, what's the reward?"
"You can say whatever you want, as long as I can do it."
"This is what you said, don't lie."
"Your brother, how can you lie when I open my mouth?"
"Are you talking about Chrysostom again?" Fang Ling laughed and said, "This is not the capital, so you can just brag about it. As for the reward, I will tell you when I think of it."
"Okay, no problem."
"A gentleman's words are hard to catch, so don't go back on your word."
"When did my words not count?"
"That's true. Brother, today's situation is like this."
I poured a cup of tea, handed it to Fang Ling and said, "Ling'er, drink a cup of tea first and speak slowly."
"Well. Song Wuxin does seem to be a careless person. Except for being obsessed with shipbuilding, he is very indifferent to other things. When I told him that there was a man named Mr. Huyan who knew the water-sealed cabin method, he couldn't wait to come and see him.
you."
"Ling'er, I only know this name."
"I don't care about this. I found it for you. It's up to you." Fang Ling added, "Who calls my brother a god?"
I laughed and said, "Gods are also humans, unless I am a human-god."
"What kind of man is a god? A man of gods. Anyway, my brother is a god."
"Haha, I won't argue with you about this, Ling'er, is Song Wuxin a descendant of Gao Shang?"
"I don't know about this either. Song Wuxin said that he would not tell me and could only tell people who know the water-sealed cabin method. However, I think that even if he is not, he is still related to the Shenzhou Giant Ship."
"Well, what about the others? Did they come with you?"
"No, it was already very late at that time, and Mr. Song can't ride a horse. I made an agreement with him to bring him to the city to meet you tomorrow morning."
I shook my head and said, "You don't have to come here. Let's go to the shipyard together tomorrow morning. There are a lot of drawings at Song Wuxin's house, and it's not convenient to bring them. It's better to come and visit."
"That's okay, this will better show our sincerity."
"Yes, where are Wen Zhang and the other three?"
"These three people fell asleep as soon as they came back, saying they were exhausted."
Since leaving Lin'an, the sky has been clear every day, and the weather in Fuzhou is even hotter than Lin'an. In summer, rain is more comfortable.
Exit the east gate of Fuzhou and walk eastward for about thirty miles until you reach the Shipfangji.
Although the place is small, there are many forks in the Jiji. As a road blind person, I really can't remember it at all. Fortunately, Fang Lingwenzhang has a very good memory. After seven or eight turns, we arrived at the northwest corner of the Shipfang Ji.
"Brother, it's just ahead."
"Well, let's go quickly."
Song Wuxin had already packed up and was waiting for Fang Ling to pick her up. As soon as the door opened, Song Wuxin said: "Little girl, let's go."
"Mr. Song, no need, I brought him here."
Song Wuxin looked at the group of us and said, "Who is this?"
I walked up the first two steps and said, "Mr. Song, I am Huyan."
"Young Master Huyan?" Song Wuxin looked at me carefully and said, "May I ask, Master, what is your honor this year?"
"Haha, I'm twenty-five." I know Song Wuxin thinks I'm too young. Zhao Yu is 25 years old and I'm in my twenties. Together, I'm about fifty years old. Naturally, I'm not much younger than Song Wuxin.
.
"Mr. Song, this is Mr. Hu Yan. Do you think he is too young?" Fang Ling said with a smile, "This is called ambition rather than age, isn't it, Mr. Song?"
Seeing Fang Ling expose his intentions, Song Wuxin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he could only smile and said: "Sir, please come in and let's talk in the room."
Just as Fang Ling told the waiter at the shop, the house was a mess, with drawings everywhere.
Song Wuxin led Fang Ling and I into a small room inside, and said, "Sir, I live in a humble and humble house. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
I heard that there was no politeness in Song Wuxin's words, and I knew that he doubted my shipbuilding ability because of my age, so I didn't care at the moment and said: "It doesn't matter."
"My house is messy, so you can do as you please."
I randomly found an empty seat, and after sitting down, I immediately recounted the water-sealed cabin method and the foot-operated pulley method that Ting Ziquanjue and others had proposed.
The more Song Wuxin listened, the more excited he became, and he kept muttering, "Ah, it can still be like this, why didn't I think of it?"
Of course, I couldn't explain why. After that, I gave full play to my strengths and talked about the buoyancy, structure, materials and other physical knowledge related to shipbuilding. Song Wuxin listened like this
Crazy like drunk.
"Xiaoyi, go and get two glasses of water for Mr. Huyan and Miss Fang."
