Chapter 85 Working

"You said you are not asking for trouble? What is written on the warrant?"

On the fourth day of Jing Haibo's return to the Beiyang Military Mansion, Chen Ju's fleet returned from North Asia Melica on the morning to the port. In the afternoon, Xu Jue ran from Beijing to Tianjin and followed the eunuch to convey the emperor's warrant to him.

Chen Mu could not helplessly put his hand in his sleeve, raised his hand and shook his head and said, "Why didn't the order be issued?"

"After you leave, the palace is in chaos. The emperor yells to see the boat. The empress dowager scolds him and kneels for half a night. The empress dowager is so anxious that he says he wants it. The emperor asks Prince Lu to succeed the throne. He repeatedly reminds his godfather not to let the emperor issue an order recently."

Xu Jue looked like a crab erratic posture wherever he went. Even in the Beiyang Military Office, he was not in a straight shape while sitting on the chair. He stretched out his waist and yawned, "The seal is on the godfather's side. Your Majesty can't issue an order, so he can only write a handwritten order and ask me to send it."

"Dadfather said, don't care what is written on it, just don't do it as you want. The handwriting is useless, fake, all fake."

"Fake it? It can't be done if it's real!"

Chen Mu blew hard, and his hands fought each other on the table. After a while, he said, "The emperor asked me to bring four large ships along the canal to Tongzhou. The captain is about the narrowest part of the Wei River and can't move when driving in."

"Stop worrying, I have a way. My brother is not only sending me a monument, right?"

"You can do it. Now my brother doesn't care about this little thing. You can just make the emperor happy anyway." Xu Jue shook his head irritably and said with a cautious expression: "How can it be my turn to go to Jiangling for this matter."

"Old Zhang Ge's father fell ill. The old man is 74 years old this year. My godfather sent me to visit me... This is not a good time." Chen Mu had never seen Xu Jue worry so much. His round face and facial features squeezed into the same place, and his eyes were straight: "If the age is limited, the court will be in chaos!"

Who can keep someone after falling into a serious illness in his seventies?

Xu Jue's vague eyes suddenly glanced at Chen Mu and said, "It's really not possible. You can give the court a book and take me with you to go abroad to get me a gift. Let's go to the Great East China Sea for you to be free and easy!"

Chen Mu's expression was confused and stunned for a long time before he realized that the relationship between Xu Jue's words was because of filial piety.

If Zhang Juzheng's father passed away, he would have to go back to his hometown to mourn. After three years, no one would keep the position of chief minister for the middle age of God. Seeing Xu Jue's attitude, Feng Bao was also panicked. Nowadays, no one has offended many people. Once the court has reshuffled, whether Zhang Juzheng can become an official after three years is still another matter, let alone the chief minister.

And Feng Bao and Xu Jue were the ones who were unlucky immediately following.

Chen Mu did not answer, lowered his eyes and pinched his fingers to calculate. At present, the Liudu Department and the secondary assistants of the cabinet have nothing to do with him. Then he turned around and sighed that he was too deeply involved in the role.

Zhang Juzheng was honestly the first assistant for ten years, and he remembers this very clearly.

Chen Mu then raised his eyes and smiled at Xu Jue, "Brother, don't panic. If you want to go abroad, that's all your words. But at this critical moment, if you go abroad, Master Zhang is fine, are you planning to come back?"

Xu Jue was stunned and waved his hand and said, "I just said that, how could I really leave at this time, but you are not panicked at all?"

"Although you didn't offend anyone, everyone in the court knows that the examination method has been implemented, but the Qingzhang Tianliu has only been in four provinces, the Ministry of Revenue Bank has just begun, and the clan's closure is still open. The cabinet master is leaving now. Do you think these things can be handled in the future?"

Chen Mu nodded as expected and said, "So the master of the court cannot leave."

This calmness that didn't matter to him made Xu Jue keep the rest of his words in his mouth. He turned his palms in front of him twice before continuing the words: "Then, then you are not going to do anything?"

"Whether the old man is, whether the court officials are filial or not, what are the reactions of these three things, Brother Xu thinks Chen can do? I'll do it!"

Seeing that Xu Jue didn't say anything, Chen Mu raised his hand slightly and pointed to the Nanzhili fruit delivered to the canal on the table and said, "Eat oranges."

Fatty Xu blinked, took a tangerine and slowly peeled it on his hand. After a while, he closed his upper lips and sucked it out, saying, "In a while, I'm afraid there's something you can do."

"Tell me, borrow guns or cannons or boats?"

While speaking, Chen Mu also peeled a tangerine. He was so focused that he was much faster than Fatty Xu. He put two tangerines in his mouth. Seeing Xu Jue being stunned by his straightforward reply, he raised his eyes and said, "It's not like asking for money. The Empress Dowager just fined me three months' salary. My Dongyang Military Mansion has not opened yet. I am also poor now."

Xu Jue's hand was only half peeled, and he slowly put it back on the table, rubbed his hands and said, "You can do more than just guns, cannons, ships, and ships. We have everything made in Nanyang. It's easy to do it. Your ship can't run into the canal... Now I won't tell you now, brother, please remember, but I agree."

Hey, this fat man is not talking about it yet!

"Don't, how can I know if I can do it if you don't talk about it?"

Xu Jue waved his hand, his eyes narrowed almost gone, and said, "If something happens, you don't want the elder to be beaten by someone. Your Beiyang foundation is not stable. If the sky changes, the layoff will be in the process..."

Chen Mu raised his palm, "It's useless. Of course I don't want Master Ge to be pushed, but you have to make me feel at ease. Let me know whether I can do it or not."

"Okay, it's enough to have you said. If you can do it, you can definitely do it! You just need to get the time blocked and you can't tell you first, wait for me to send the message."

Fatty Xu seemed to have finished what he wanted to do, so he raised his butt and said goodbye. He took a few steps and then came back to stuff the peeled tangerines on the table into his mouth. Then he turned to Chen Mu and said, "Yes, Your Majesty has been clamoring in the palace for several days to see the boat. How do you do this?"

Chen Mu had a headache when he said this. He rolled his eyes and rubbed his face, raised his hand and pressed his temples, "First find a craftsman with good skills to make a few ships that are several feet long, exactly the same, make some things to the palace and let the emperor see it first, and drag the emperor away."

"The warships of the Eastern Fleet traveled tens of thousands of miles away, which would take several years to obtain silver mines for the court and the influence of the Ming Dynasty in Europe. That is a big deal. At that time, the Beiyang Army must have an oath before going to war. The entire army will be loyal to the emperor. Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, the Master, and the Governor will naturally be present, and no one can blame the emperor for being playful."

The most important thing is that no one says he is not.

"This is good, Your Majesty always talks about it, saying that the emperor must personally grasp the military power. You said that you should hold a sworn ceremony before going to sea, and that he can remember you for several years if you don't see the ship - but be careful, if you teach the current emperor to be like Wuzong, future generations will scold you for five hundred years."

Chen Mu smiled, he thought.

Five hundred years, let alone five hundred years without changing the dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty is now, it is far from enough to teach Wuzong to last another two hundred years.

I don’t expect to teach Zhu Yuanzhang like that, at least I have to teach Emperor Chengzu.
