"Shen Cunzhong, is he already in such a good situation?"

In the capital hall, Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh after hearing what happened in the Zichen Palace.

Shen Kuo and Shen Cunzhong...

That was the Xinfa general who was once as famous as Zhang Dun, Zhang Zihou, Zeng Buzeng Zixuan, Xu Xi, Xu Dezhan and others who died in Yongle City.

The future is bright and your career will be smooth!

It was not because of the defeat of Yongle City that Shen Kuo and Xu Xi should have a place in the capital halls of the three provinces at this moment.

Especially Shen Kuo, before he was reprimanded and demoted, he was already a bachelor of Longtuge, a strategic and pacifying envoy of Yanyan Road, and a commander-in-chief of Zhiyanzhou.

"I know about Yanzhou affairs..." Li Qingchen, who was beside Zhang Dun, his eyes blurred for a moment, and then sighed: "Emperor Daxing really has a far-reaching plan!"

"In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Daxing made the young master the Prince of Yan'an County and the governor of Yanzhou..."

"In the third year of Yuanfeng, Shen Cunzhong had already gone to pay homage to Yanyan Road Manager to appease the envoy to learn about Yanzhou affairs..."

"In this way, Shen Cunzhong may still be the potential minister arranged by Emperor Daxing for the young master!"

"Otherwise, why would the young master be sealed in Yan'an?"

Zhang Dun listened and took a deep breath.

He also remembered that when the young master was granted the title of King of Yan'an County, Shen Kuo won a great victory on Yanan Road.

They captured the Jintang, Jialu and other seven or eight fortresses of the Western Bandits.

The grass snake gray thread was buried so early?

No wonder! No wonder!

In this way, Shen Kuo would have been convicted if Yongle City had not defeated Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo should have gone to Beijing long ago to assist the young master.

This is really an arrangement that no one could have thought of beforehand, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely reasonable.

Shen Kuo had many edges and corners, and Yongle City was newly defeated.

Emperor Daxing specially scolded and polished off its edges, and then gave it to the young master for use.

Moreover, Shen Kuo has always been famous for his Luban skills.

Arranging for him to be promoted to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is simply the most reasonable thing to do!

"Shen Cunzhong will soon ascend to the Qingyun Level!" Zhang Dun couldn't help but sigh.

Li Qingchen couldn't help but nod.

Don't look at the so-called "promotion and promotion of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau", it seems to be nothing, and the official rank should not be that high.

But the problem is that this is a personal property directly belonging to the emperor, and it is also an property that the Daxing Emperor wants to pass down to his descendants.

Died with the country!

Therefore, after Shen Kuo returned to power, he was regarded as a close official or even a retainer of the emperor.

He could get close to the emperor and even see the emperor at any time.

In addition, he himself has a mission from Miyingge to give lectures.

A minister who could have close contact with the emperor, report relevant affairs to the emperor at any time, and also lecture to the emperor at sutra banquets.

No matter how low the official rank is, it is comparable to a Hanlin bachelor or a living scholar.

Maybe, in a few decades, the position of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau will become as noble and dangerous as the current Hanlin bachelor and living minister.

"This time Li Senior has offended the emperor and the two palaces..." Li Qingchen said: "I'm afraid it will be hard to do good..."

Zhang Dun nodded and pursed his lips in the direction of the Yushitai in Xuanpingfang.

Li Qingchen understood immediately.

The crows at Yushitai, this is a wasted opportunity to show their loyalty.

As long as Huang Lu is not a fool, he will take the credit.

What's even better is that now that Li Ding has fallen.

So what happened on Jingdong Road, as well as Fujian's tea method and salt method, I'm afraid the Yushitai will accept them all.

This is pie in the sky!

Huang Lu might be able to raise the salary officer to the top.

…

The side hall of Funing Hall.

Song Yongchen was writing furiously.

Feng Jing quietly appeared beside him and whispered: "Has Zhaoxuan heard about the matter in Zichen Palace?"

Song Yongchen didn't speak, he just buried his head in writing the words of his memories.

The young master taught him some imported numbers and symbols a few days ago.

Song Yongchen thought it was very useful, so he used it to write a book.

After using it, Song Yongchen had a good experience with these imported numbers and symbols.

Especially when drawing pictures, it is very smooth and easy to use when annotating.

"Li Ding, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has been convicted of crimes all over the world and has been sent to Dali Temple..."

"It is said that next to Li Ding Prison, there are Wu Juhou and others whom he had just escorted back to Beijing from Jingdong Road..."

Song Yongchen finally put down his pen and looked back at Feng Jing: "What exactly is Feng Zhihou going to say?"

Feng Jing smiled: "I'm just feeling emotional..."

Song Yongchen looked at this young and somewhat restless junior and said to him seriously: "You should learn from Li Zhongmin!"

"When Li Zhongmin served Emperor Daxing, he didn't say a word he shouldn't have said, and he didn't even look at the things he shouldn't have done..."

Feng Jing immediately lowered his head: "Zhaoxuan taught you a lesson!"

Song Yongchen shook his head.

I remembered that day when I went to the Young Master for the first time.

The young master's words echoed in his ears.

"The purpose of sacrificing the Bianhe Embankment Department is to protect the Specialized Weapons Manufacturing Bureau..."

"In the hearts of Emperor Daxing and the young master..." He couldn't help but think in his mind: "How can the status of the Bureau that specializes in manufacturing weapons be so high?"

He recalled the performances he had seen in the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.

Poisonous smoke balls that release poisonous gas when ignited...

After being thrown out, it will explode and frighten the horses...

Wrapped in asphalt and tung oil, it can be thrown out through a trebuchet, a fireball specialized in fire attacks...

Once ignited, the rockets will chirp and shoot indiscriminately...

Song Yongchen always felt that those things were flashy, but the actual effect might be just that.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Daxing and the young master valued him so much.

Especially the young master, in order to protect the bureau that specializes in manufacturing weapons, he was willing to take out all the embankments that laid golden eggs to buy them.

"It seems..."

"After Shen Cunzhong enters Beijing, I must discuss it carefully with him..."

Shen Kuo was an old acquaintance of Song Yongchen.

At the beginning, he and Shen Kuo did the preliminary investigation and verification of Luo Tongbian.

It was through Shen Kuo's measurements that Song Yongchen realized that the gap between Bianjing and Sizhou was more than ten feet.

It is precisely because of knowing the accurate geographical difference that the subsequent canal project was able to complete the project of guiding Luo to Bian in such a short period of time by relying on the direction of the mountains and rivers themselves and the power of the river itself.

"Maybe Shen Cunzhong knows why the young master values ​​those firearms so much..."

He is a minister, that is, he serves the Lord.

Whatever the Lord likes, he will learn it.

Emperor Daxing liked engineering, building rivers and building city walls.

Song Yongchen spent all his time studying, reading out and studying the works of famous officials and skilled craftsmen of the previous dynasties, and asked for advice from the river workers who had lived in Bianhe River for many years, and from the famous craftsmen who built houses in Bianjing City.

Finally something was accomplished.

Now that the young master values ​​firearms so much, Song Yongchen naturally wants to learn them too.

Only by learning well can you continue to serve the Lord.
