Looking at the somewhat helpless Xu Guangqi, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Xu Aiqing, two shipyards are being built in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula and Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula. I give Aiqing permission.

Allocate manpower from various parts of the imperial court and be sure to build shipyards in these two places as soon as possible. As for how to do it and what kind of warships to build, Ai Qing is responsible for it."

Contrary to Emperor Tianqi's expectation, Xu Guangqi's face showed a happy look, but he frowned and said: "Your Majesty, do you think I'm thinking about it?"

For a moment, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Xu Guangqi to say that. However, Emperor Tianqi also knew that Xu Guangqi must have something to hide, so he said, "If you have any difficulties for me, just tell me, I won't embarrass you."

Xu Guangqi sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, whether it is building warships or firearms, they all cost a lot of money. Now that the national treasury has just begun to improve, do you think we should wait two years for construction?"

Although Xu Guangqi's words were very tactful, Emperor Tianqi understood what Xu Guangqi meant. The Ming Dynasty had no money, or Emperor Tianqi had no money. Xu Guangqi was really worried that the court would not be able to afford such a large-scale construction.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, don't worry about money and love. I will never miss you a penny. This matter is very important. Aiqing must implement it well."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Emperor Tianqi said after leaving. Naturally, Xu Guangqi did not dare to hesitate any more and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and swept across everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, it is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. I hope that you will work together and don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Several people quickly bowed and saluted, and at Emperor Tianqi's signal, they turned and walked out of the palace.

Looking at the people walking out, Emperor Tianqi stretched himself, with a bit of hope on his face. It has been three years since Tianqi, so I hope there won't be any problems with his arrangement!

In the following time, the state machinery of the Ming Dynasty began to operate rapidly. The most intuitive thing was the huge project on the outskirts of the city. Both the people and officials were all discussing this matter. Emperor Tianqi established the National Military Supervisor.

You must know that there was the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, which was a school for civil servants in this era. Although many children of the Wuxun family also studied there, they had to pursue official careers. Now that the Imperial Academy has been established, everyone can see Emperor Tianqi’s emphasis on martial arts.

It came out. This gave many warriors hope. At the same time, many people were eager to try. This martial arts storm soon expanded to the whole country as the news spread.

The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department has given hope to many people who hold military power. Although there are only a few princes now, Emperor Tianqi has already passed down the message. In the future, military generals will be eligible to join the Military Aircraft Department. In addition, military generals from various places

All were put under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department. Although the time was short, the military attachés also saw hope.

The status of military generals began to rise. Although the civil servants did not want to see it, the military generals were indeed very happy. Although this was just the beginning, many people believed that with the passage of time, the situation of strong civil society and weak military forces would definitely change.

.

Although the civil servants complained a lot, it did not have much effect. Although several people petitioned for impeachment, they were all sentenced to prison by Emperor Tianqi. Of course, the charges were not for impeachment, but for other charges. Jin Yiwei

Hedong Factory also played a big role.

There are also many intellectuals in the court, and some of them are really unreasonable. Although there are very few such people, there are still a few. This made Emperor Apocalypse overjoyed. After examining their abilities, they were all transferred by Emperor Apocalypse.

.

Under the strong promotion of Emperor Tianqi, this wave of reforms in the DPRK was gradually implemented. Although the results have not yet been seen, they have already begun.

Time soon came to May, and the Duke of Guizhou of Yunnan finally came to Beijing. However, it was not the contemporary Duke of Guizhou Mu Changzuo who came, but his grandson Mu Tianbo. Emperor Tianqi passed Mu Tianbo to the palace.

Emperor Tianqi was still very curious about this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Qing army went south and the Southern Ming Dynasty was about to perish, Mu Tianbo did not surrender like others. Instead, he protected Emperor Yongli and fled to Myanmar. Later, the king of Myanmar sent people to arrest Ming Dynasty civil and military officials, a total of forty-two

Among the forty-two people, only Mu Tianbo died after fighting more than a dozen people with hammers.

At this time, Mu Tianbo was just a young man in his twenties. He looked very energetic. After seeing Emperor Tianqi, he picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, Mu Tianbo, long live your Majesty.

Long live!"

Emperor Tianqi walked to the dragon chair and sat down, waved his hands and said, "I am free of ceremony!" When Mu Tianbo stood up, Emperor Tianqi continued: "This time I summon the Duke of Guizhou to Beijing and grant him the title of Minister of Military and Aircraft.

I wonder why Duke Qian didn’t come?”

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants always rebelled against decrees, and both the emperor and ministers were accustomed to it. If you want to use this person to become famous, there are many people, and Emperor Tianqi doesn't care. But the military people are different.

Yes, anyone who disobeys the decree is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's gloomy face, Mu Tianbo quickly showed a frightened expression and said: "Your Majesty, our ancestor is old and not in very good health. It is a long way from Yunnan to the capital, so it may be difficult for our ancestor to reach the capital. Originally, our ancestor

I was preparing to write a brief statement, but the emperor may have misunderstood, so he sent his ministers here."

Emperor Tianqi nodded. Emperor Tianqi knew this. Mu Changzuo was indeed old, and he probably didn't have a few more years to live. After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "It's because I didn't think carefully.

The Duke of Guizhou guarded Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty, and he did great service to the country!"

"Your Majesty, the Mu family has been showered with heaven's grace for generations. This is the greatest kindness the Emperor has shown to the Mu family. Guarding Yunnan is the responsibility of the Mu family. We don't dare to be greedy for credit." Mu Tianbo quickly bowed and saluted and said respectfully. Although he was far away in Yunnan

, but the Mu family also has eyes and ears in the capital, and they know exactly what the young emperor is doing.

Mu Tianbo was very clear in his heart. Don't look at the fact that the emperor in front of him was young. He was only a few years older than himself. However, whether it was skill or power, it was not comparable to the late emperor. Facing Emperor Tianqi, Mu Tianbo did not dare to be careless at all.

.

Taking a deep look at Mu Tianbo, this young man was indeed not simple. Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly and said, "Since the Duke of Guizhou cannot come, why didn't the prince come? Instead, he sent you?"

I sighed in my heart, and it turned out to be the same as what my father said. Emperor Tianqi must have asked. Logically speaking, if his grandfather can't come, then he must send his father. Now that he is here, Emperor Tianqi will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, although my father is not very old, he is not in good health. He has been suffering from illness for many years, which makes it difficult for him to travel far. My ancestors sent me here because I hope that I can explain the reason before the emperor."

Having said this, Mu Tianbo himself felt a little embarrassed. Grandpa couldn't come. Neither could his father.

Looking secretly at Emperor Tianqi, Mu Tianbo was very worried about offending Emperor Tianqi, which is why he came to the capital this time. If he submitted a petition, I am afraid that the Duke of Guizhou would become the target of public criticism immediately. Emperor Tianqi would also feel that Mu

If the family wants to separate Yunnan, the matter will be serious.

But Mu Tianbo was worried. Emperor Tianqi's expression did not change at all, because Emperor Tianqi had known it for a long time. Although what Mu Tianbo said seemed like a lie, Emperor Tianqi knew that it was true. Whether it was the memory of the previous life or the brocade

Mu Tianbo didn't lie about the secret report from Medical Health East Factory.

Mu Changzuo will die soon, and Mu Qiyuan will not live for a few years, otherwise Mu Tianbo would not take over as the Duke of Guizhou so early. After nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi agreed with Mu Tianbo's statement and said:

"I know. I will send people to Yunnan to express condolences to the Duke of Guizhou and the Crown Prince. The Mu family is the pillar of the court, so I naturally value them very much."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" Although Emperor Tianqi sent someone there and felt that he didn't believe Mu Tianbo, Mu Tianbo breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Tianbo knew very well in his heart that if he heard such words, he wouldn't be sure.

I believe that now that Emperor Tianqi sends someone, he and the emperor can rest assured. Saying it in front of him is the greatest trust in the Mu family.

Looking at Mu Tianbo with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said in a gentle tone: "It is the time for young people to make contributions and make great achievements. I see that my beloved is extraordinary. Please don't go back to Yunnan this time and do something in the capital!"

"Thanks to the emperor's respect, I dare not to die!" A smile suddenly appeared on Mu Tianbo's face. It was not his wish to wait for death in Yunnan. He originally thought that this would be the end of his life, but he did not expect to have such an opportunity.

Naturally, Tianbo will not let it go.

"I'm going to tell you the ugly story first. It's not your place to be the Minister of Military and Aircraft. That's the official position I gave to the Duke of Guizhou. You can take over the title of Duke of Guizhou, but you can't take over the title of the Minister of Military and Aircraft!" Emperor Tianqi just said

It was just a show. Seeing that Mu Tianbo did not disappoint him, he felt very good and said with a smile.

Mu Tianbo was stunned, but he knew it himself, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am still young and have little qualifications. I am just relying on the shadow of my ancestors. The Minister of Military and Aircraft is a high-ranking and powerful person, and I dare not covet it. But I am still young, so I want to meet you.

One day."

Looking at the high-spirited Mu Tianbo, Emperor Tianqi was slightly stunned, and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, young people must have such courage, I am waiting for that day. The Military Aircraft Department has a lot of things now, and it is the time to recruit people.

You go and do some work under Wei Guogong. I have handed over the military affairs of the seven southeastern provinces to Wei Guogong, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go all out!" Mu Tianbo was immediately overjoyed. He was very confident in himself, and he would definitely be able to achieve great results. He wanted to tell everyone that even if he did not rely on the shadow of his ancestors, Mu Tianbo was no better than anyone else.

Difference!

"Okay, go ahead! Work hard and don't let me down!" Emperor Tianqi issued the expulsion order with a smile on his face.

After Mu Tianbo saluted Emperor Tianqi, he strode out with a high-spirited look.

It was July in the blink of an eye, and in the scorching summer heat of the capital, the leaves were rolled up by the sun. It was much cooler inside the palace, and Emperor Tianqi was sitting behind the Long Bookcase, flipping through the memorials in his hands.

"Your Majesty, this is a cold melon that has been frozen. It's just right to eat now!" Wang Chengen carried a porcelain basin with a lot of ice cubes in it, but in the middle was a large watermelon.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly. He smiled and said, "Let someone cut it! It's hot now, so you can have someone send some to the ladies in the harem. Don't leave anything behind."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Nubei has sent someone, I think the ladies have already eaten it!" Wang Chengen smiled respectfully at Emperor Tianqi, and asked the little eunuch on the side to cut the watermelon.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei and Duke Ding would like to see you!" Chen Lin walked in quickly, bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi, and said.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy. He smiled and said: "Let the two beauties come in! Four months have passed, and the two beauties must have achieved some results. I have been waiting!

"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei will go and bring the two princes in right now!" Chen Lin naturally did not dare to neglect. The people waiting outside were none other than the two princes of the Ming Dynasty!

It didn't take much. Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong walked in under the leadership of Chen Lin. Neither of them knelt down and saluted: "See your Majesty!"

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "On such a hot day, my two dear friends are still working tirelessly. I am very relieved. I also feel very sorry for you. You two dear ladies, please take care of yourself!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Although the weather is hot, our hearts are even warmer. This is a major matter related to the national line, and naturally I dare not wait for a moment." The speaker was Duke Ding, with a serious look on his face.

Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong can be said to be two different types of people. Ding Guogong is rigid, meticulous and very serious. Wei Guogong is carefree and doesn't care at all. It can be said that these two people are very helpless together, but

They come from the same blood and are connected by the same spirit, so naturally there will be no irreconcilable disputes.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen with a smile and ordered: "Go to the pavilion! Let someone send the cold melons over. I want to have a chat with my two beloved ladies!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei, go and prepare now!" Wang Chengen naturally did not dare to neglect and turned around to take the people down to make arrangements.

Emperor Tianqi brought Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong to a pavilion in the palace. This was Emperor Tianqi's favorite place to escape the summer heat. No matter how hot the weather was, there would always be a cool breeze blowing here, which made people very comfortable.

Pointing to the stone pier in the pavilion, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "My dear friends, please sit down and talk! Today I have half a day to spare, so I can have a good chat with my two dear ladies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them didn't show any pretense. They came to the stone pier and sat down. They were both princes and relatives of the emperor. If you really wanted to say that they were the elders of Emperor Tianqi, they would naturally not be like ordinary ministers.

Picking up a piece of cold melon, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Try my dears, try this. This cold melon is my favorite. Chill it with ice. It is really a good way to relieve the heat."

The two of them were not polite. They reached for a piece of watermelon and started eating it. They were obviously used to such treatment.

None of the three emperors of Tianqi spoke. It was not until they finished the second piece of watermelon that Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Although I hope that the two dear ladies will come to the palace to sit more, but I think the two dear ladies also have something to do.

I don’t know if this is what I want!”
