Chapter 879: Concubine Tian is not blessed

7days ago Historical fiction 7
It was just dawn in the morning, and Yao Ji, who was dressed neatly, had already sent Zhu Gaoxu to the gate of Xianfei Palace.

It didn't take long for the heavy rain last night, but it rained lightly one after another. The brick floor and floor were still very wet in the morning. Zhu Gaoxu saw that the hem of Yao Ji's long skirt was wet.

The sedan chair outside the door was waiting there, and there were some eunuchs holding simple ceremonial guards and palace maids accompanying them with lanterns.

A lantern was moving quickly towards this side.

Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while and then saw that the person coming was the eunuch Wang Gui.

Wang Gui hurriedly walked to Zhu Gaoxu, bent down and bowed, and handed something over with both hands.

Wang Jinghong's memorial.

Wang Gui stepped forward and said in a deep voice: Report to the emperor, the city gate had not yet been opened when the memorial was entered.Because there were eight hundred miles of expedited words, someone sent me to come in with a hanging basket.Officials on duty at night in Tongzheng Department recorded the memorial, but there was no time to copy the contents.I passed on the imperial edict from the emperor yesterday at the You hour and sent someone to take the memorial into the palace in advance.

The palace ladies who welcomed Zhu Gaoxu were all guarding the sedan chair and not moving.Yao Ji also stood behind her and did not come forward to ask.

Zhu Gaoxu stood there, immediately pulled the memorial and looked at the contents through the light of the lantern.He browsed roughly, took a deep breath and closed it, and then turned around and said: Concubine Xian should go back to the palace quickly.

At this time, Yao Ji was looking at him silently, not knowing what she was thinking.When Yao Ji heard Zhu Gaoxu's words, she bent her knees and squatted, and said slowly: I am honored to see the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu got into the sedan chair and patted it.The eunuch next to him shouted: Get up!The eunuchs who were relatively strong in front and behind skillfully lifted the sedan chair.

The sedan was shaking gently, but it was still balanced.Zhu Gaoxu sat on it and unfolded the memorial again.His body leaned to the left and looked closely with the light of the lantern.

The situation was very bad, and Zhu Gaoxu's desire to be lucky these days was lost.

But it seems that it is not so bad that it makes people desperate.

So Zhu Gaoxu was in a bit complicated at this time, and he didn't know whether to be grateful or angry.

The naval fleet was indeed hit by a storm, located on the sea south of the Fujian Provincial Administration.The left wing of the navy was swept into the hurricane, and the right wing was lucky to miss it.The left-wing ships and personnel suffered heavy losses.

After Wang Jinghong and others counted the ships, they initially determined that they had sunk and capsized twelve sea ships, and dozens of ships were damaged to varying degrees.

The number of casualties and missing persons cannot be determined for the time being, and the specific list will be reported to the court in the future.

The Navy Central Army decided to move the seriously damaged ships near north to Yongningwei Port (Xiamen) and hand them over to the two thousand households of Zuo and Zhong for safekeeping.

The remaining warships will travel south into the estuary of the Pearl River.

If there are damaged sea ships, they will continue to travel north to Guangzhou; because Guangzhou has a larger dock and relatively sufficient supplies.

Officials in Guangzhou Prefecture will be responsible for mobilizing craftsmen to repair the damaged ships.

The entire army will be repaired in various waters of the Guangdong Provincial Administration and the People's Republic of China.

The team surrounded by the sedan chairs had passed through the gate on the southwest side of the Ganqing Palace.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already seen the Ganqing Sect in front of him.

He suddenly turned around and said: Don’t go to Fengtianmen, go to the Ganqing Palace.

The eunuch next to him shouted: Move to the Qing Palace.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand again and asked Wang Gui to come closer and said: You go to Tianmen to issue an order, because it rains, the morning court will be cancelled today.He also asked the Duke of the Kingdom, the Nine Ministers, and the Cabinet Ministers who were not among the Nine Ministers to go to the Dongnuan Pavilion to discuss matters.

Wang Gui hurriedly said: I will do it immediately.

The road from Ganqing Gate to Fengtian Gate is very long. Wang Gui first walked to the place and then sent an order to let the civil and military officials come in. It took a long time.

So when Zhu Gaoxu walked to the slanting corridor outside the Donghunting Pavilion, he paced back and forth in the corridor without rushing to go in.

The floor bricks and stones on the sloped corridor are worn smoothly, and this place looks older than other places in the palace.Since the reign of Taizu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty summoned ministers here.

After Zhu Gaoxu thought about it repeatedly, he gradually had an idea in his heart.

After all, the naval fleet has already set off, and the memorial can be approved: After discussing with Wang Jinghong, Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhen, they can decide on the follow-up matters by themselves.

Since Zhu Gaoxu appointed Wang Jinghong and Chen Xuan, he chose him himself; Zhu Gaoxu was not willing to interfere with the generals outside.

Because he believed that the Navy seemed to be able to continue its expedition, and at this time it showed a full trust in the person in charge, it could inspire their confidence and relieve their worries.

Since ancient times, the kings remotely controlled the generals to fight for political reasons.

Zhu Gaoxu’s problem this time is no exception. The success or failure of the navy is related to the new policy of the court.

It’s just that Zhu Gaoxu is willing to take on political affairs by himself. After all, he doesn’t have to go to war, he just needs to be in charge of the court.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu also considered that before Wang Jinghong and Chen Xuan went to sea, they had heard everything they should have heard; what they said now is useless.

Moreover, people in the army are the ones who know the specific situation the most.

It is better to let them make decisions than to comfortably live in the capital by imagination.

Zhu Gaoxu made up his mind and walked into the East Warehouse.To approve important memorials, you must first listen to the opinions of the ministers, and the process must be experienced.

...In mid-July, the naval fleet that set out to fight slowly entered the bay at the estuary of the Pearl River.

The eunuch Wang Jinghong, standing on the treasure ship command building, could see the land on three sides from a high place.

He stood behind the railing for at least two hours.

The cloak on his body floated in the sea breeze like a flag, and the patterns on the python robe were swaying, as the robe trembled, as if they were moving.

Wang Jinghong's face was darker as the wind blew and the sun was shining.With his high cheekbones, his haggard look made him look a little pale and thin.

At this time, Chen Xuan walked out, looked at the land in the distance, and then clasped his fists and said: Eunuch Wang, we are going to the place.

Wang Jinghong looked at Chen Xuan, nodded, then raised his arm and pointed forward: The wide water area on the right is the waterway to Guangzhou Prefecture.

Chen Xuan said: I have sent a clutch to Guangzhou Prefecture to discuss with local officials to arrange the place where the damaged ships dock.After the pioneer reports, we will let the injured ship travel north and the rest of the troops will make arrangements.

Wang Jinghong nodded and said: The commander is well arranged.

The two of them suddenly stopped talking and silently watched the movements of the ships around them.

The sound of copper bells came one after another, the flags on each ship were repeatedly whispering flags. Many sails had already descended, and countless warships were slowly floating forward.

Wang Jinghong said again: Our family worships the concubine Tian in the building, and there is also incense in Longjiang Temple in the capital.

Chen Xuan refused to comment. He said after a while: Actually, I should be the one who has been standing here for two hours.

Wang Jinghong turned to look at Chen Xuan, and the two looked at each other.

Wang Jinghong roughly understood what Chen Xuan meant: he was a popular eunuch trusted by the emperor, and if he couldn't do it, he could still be a eunuch in the palace; but if Chen Xuan didn't do it well this time, he would probably have hopeless career.

However, Wang Jinghong suddenly felt something was wrong.Yes, Chen Xuan should be bored here, why does Chen Xuan look fine?

I feel ashamed of the emperor.Wang Jinghong sighed and said, "Our family probably has no less than 3,000 soldiers who were slandered, killed and unable to find them. In addition, the number of ships that cannot be repaired for a while will be reduced by dozens of warships."The army was unfavorable, the losses were heavy, and the morale was greatly affected.Some ministers in the court may advise the emperor to recall us.

Sure enough, Chen Xuan's expression became a little nervous: Is the emperor not going to agree with the court officials' advice?

Wang Jinghong took a breath and frowned: In the past few years before the Emperor, I felt that the Emperor should not be too swayed by the court officials.But the key is, now, can we continue to sail and fight two more wars when we get to the local area?

Chen Xuan pondered: I will think I can continue.What's more, this matter will be related to the new policy.

Wang Jinghong looked at Chen Xuan in surprise, surprised by his statement just now.

However, thinking about Chen Xuan, a martial artist, who once managed water conservancy and formulated laws on grain transportation, should indeed understand the affairs of the government; perhaps it was because Chen Xuan was very good at judging the situation that he surrendered in time in the two civil wars?

Wang Jinghong suddenly showed a look of awakening.

The magistrate should not consider the government affairs too much. estimating the situation in the military is the most important thing.Wang Jinghong kindly reminded.

Chen Xuan said very simply: It is difficult to ensure that you will be smooth sailing every time. There will be adversity and fierce battles. The current situation is not that serious.He may have remembered the past when he had never won a great war or surrendered one after another, and could not help but stress that he would promise that he would not speak nonsense.

Wang Jinghong put his hand on the railing and looked down at the soldiers on the deck, observing for a long time.

Chen Xuan's voice said again: But Eunuch Wang still has to make a decision, so I can only suggest it.

Wang Jinghong turned around and said: Our family believes that we must wait for the court’s approval first.Anyway, we can't leave for a while. If the boats are not repaired, the soldiers will be too crowded.

Chen Xuan said: Eunuch Wang’s words are reasonable.

After some conversation, Wang Jinghong had lost his interest in sighing, so he went back to the command building to rest.Only then did he feel stiff all over and feel very uncomfortable.

The naval fleet stayed everywhere on the Pearl River.

By late July, all the damaged warships had gone to Guangzhou Prefecture, and many ships were still anchored at the Pearl River Estuary.

At this time, I didn't expect that the court's approval would come so soon. The messenger rode a fast horse and walked on the post road to the Guangdong Provincial Administration and Envoy.

Wang Jinghong saw Zhu Gaoxu's red handwriting and then passed on to see the general of the Central Army.Many people were moved after seeing it.

The red letter reads: The hurricane is beyond human expectations, and it should not be borne by the Navy.

Those who died in the sea were pioneering and sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty and were killed by the plan of death.

Wang Jinghong and Chen Xuan and others decided on their own after discussing how to arrange the fleet and where to go.

I will use it without doubt.
