Chapter 1350: The Duke of Wei Steals
"If you want to talk about good luck, it's really not as good as your cheap niece and son-in-law's good luck. A child of a poor family, he won the top prize in the study exam, married his wife and married the richest daughter of your old Li family, and he has reached the fifth grade before he is an official and has reached the weak crown......" Xu Peng, the Duke of Wei, raised his wine glass, saluted Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, and continued the topic.
"Good luck? I used to think so, but now I don't see it that way......" Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu and Wei Guogong Xu Pengju touched the wine glass, and after drinking the wine in the glass, they shook their heads slightly and said slowly.
"Oh, why?" Wei Guogong Xu Pengju asked curiously.
"Let's talk about reading first, the champion must have good luck, but can you win the champion if you have good luck?! In addition to being smart, Zihou's diligence is rare in my life, three more lights and five more chickens, all of them are studying diligently, and even if they win the champion, they are also diligent in learning, as for the sound of dogs and horses, it is unheard of. If those two stinky boys in my family had worked hard, I would have been able to wake up laughing when I slept. I won't say much about marrying a wife, as an elder, it's not good for me to talk about the life in the backyard of my junior. Being an official, Zi Houguan has become a five-grade official, but it is not something that can be explained by the word good luck, to give two examples. The first one, Zihou was bare-chested in the capital to inspect the Taicang Treasury was not something ordinary people could do; Second, he relied on his real military exploits in Jingnan, more than 3,000 Japanese invaders attacked Jingnan County, Zihou used less than 100 servants and soldiers to fight against more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, not only successfully held Jingnan County, but also won the first level of 824, 824, Brother Dapeng, as a Yingtian garrison and in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, over the years, you have won the first level of Japanese Kou?! ”
Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu put down his wine glass and praised Zhu Ping'an, emphasizing that Zhu Ping'an's success was by no means due to good luck.
In fact, Linhuai Hou really didn't like Zhu Ping'an at first, but later changed his views little by little.
"Ahem, isn't it that the Japanese have never been to Yingtian! I didn't stand a chance. As generals, we have the blood of our ancestors in our bones, leading soldiers to fight, and we are not weaker than others. If the Japanese dare to offend our Yingtian, come and kill one of our brothers, come and kill two of our brothers, come and kill a pair of our brothers, and come and build them into a Jingguan ......"
Wei Guogong Xu Pengju coughed, slightly embarrassed, poured himself a drink, and said proudly.
"This is also ......" Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu nodded, and did not deny Wei Guogong's bold words.
"He came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to raise sentences, according to which sub-patrol road is the prosecutor in charge of?" Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, asked again, "Do you want to operate it for a while and stay in Yingtian." Recently, the Japanese have been like crazy, repeatedly violating the border, and local prefectures and counties have been repeatedly attacked and harassed, and it is quite risky to go to the local patrols. Yingtian City is deep in the big pool, and there are many garrisons, so he didn't dare to come to seek death, he stayed in Yingtian, safe and sound, and in special periods, it was good to take care of one or two. ”
"It's late. As soon as he came, he took over the responsibility of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to be sentenced to the military of the prosecutor. Linhuai Hou sighed.
"Armament?! This is a position that is often blamed and does not produce results...... As soon as he came, he took over the military preparations, and you treat my brother, didn't I say it, whether it was the errand of receiving the troops this time, or the last time he was involved in Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Ge Lao in the capital, your niece and son-in-law were a little too hasty in doing things. Wei Guogong tugged at the corners of his mouth and commented.
"Who said no, Zihou has the ability, but he is a little hasty in doing things. However, young people, the blood and qi are normal. For example, the day before yesterday, Zihou came to my house to pay a visit, talked about the matter of the Japanese invaders, and learned about the current situation of the naval army, so Zihou suggested that I go to the Holy Lord, and asked for the construction of 200 more warships and the restoration of the old quota on the grounds that the Japanese invaders have been disturbed for many years and the warships are insufficient, so as to expel the Japanese and give full play to the role of the navy. As he spoke, Marquis Linhuai informed Wei Guogong of the suggestion made when Zhu Ping'an visited him the day before yesterday.
"Huh?! Request to build more warships and restore the old amount so that they can play the role of a naval army......" When Wei Guogong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, as if he had been enlightened and had been opened up to the second vein of Ren Du.
"Yes, even combined with the hydrological situation, it was mentioned that the sand boat should be changed so that the navy can fight ......"
Lin Huaihou continued.
When Wei Guogong heard this, his eyes became brighter, like two bonfires in the dark night.
"Zihou's suggestion is good, but it's too hasty. The saint only approved the performance of the previous Shi Caojiang halving the warships before last year, and I said at this time that the warships should be added and the old amount should be restored, isn't this contrary to the saint? Although Zihou also said that at this time and at that time, the situation is different, and the Japanese plague was still controllable a few years ago, but now the Japanese plague is out of control and is becoming more and more rampant...... But it's still a bit too hasty. ”
Lin Huaihou tapped the table lightly and concluded.
"Well, it's a bit of a rush." Wei Guogong nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's not talk about Zihou, let's talk about the recent appointment and dismissal of officials......" Marquis Linhuai poured a glass of wine for Wei Guogong and brought the topic to the recent appointment and removal of officials.
However, then Wei Guogong was a little absent-minded, and Linhuai Hou knew that Wei Guogong's back house was in chaos recently. Wei Guogong's wife, Zhang, died early and left no heirs, according to the primogeniture inheritance system, there is no eldest son and son-in-law, then the eldest son should be established to inherit the title. However, the Duke of Wei did not intend to appoint his eldest son to inherit the title, but intended to appoint the son of his favorite concubine Zheng to inherit the title. Even, in order to achieve the goal, the Duke of Wei also intended to operate and named the favorite concubine Zheng as the Duchess of Wei. For this reason, the back house of the Duke of Wei was in a state of trouble, and it was impossible to get along. The Marquis of Linhuai thought that Wei Guogong had thought of the affairs of the back house, but did not think about it.
After a drink, Wei Guogong hurriedly returned to the house, looking at Wei Guogong's hurried back, Linhuai Hou was even more sure that Wei Guogong was worried about the back house.
However, what Linhuai Hou didn't know was that Wei Guogong hurriedly returned to the house, not to go back to the back house to extinguish the fire, but to come to the study as soon as possible, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to draft a note.
"Yingtian garrison and in charge of the military governor's office, Xu Pengju kicked off the ......"
If Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, was here, he would be shocked to find that the note written by Wei Guogong almost copied the advice given to him by Zhu Ping'an, from the reason to the suggestion, almost word for word.
"Treat your brother, my brother can't help it. Since you don't take Zhu Zihou's suggestion, then I'll use it with a shy face. You also know that the eldest brother's eldest son is not successful, the younger son is still decent, the elder brother wants the younger son to be knighted, the elder brother needs this merit, if the saint approves the elder brother's performance, then the following elder brother will operate well...... Actually, it's not so much that Zhu Zihou is in a hurry, but that you are too cautious in treating your brother......"
After Wei Guogong finished writing the note, he muttered to himself while checking whether there were any omissions in the note.
