On the afternoon of the sixth day of February, under the gazes of countless expectant, surprised, or wait-and-see eyes from the ruling and opposition parties, a series of decrees were issued from the imperial city.

The Imperial Commander's Mansion of the Navy was set up, and the government was set up in Mingzhou. Hua Gao, the governor of Zhongshu Province in Huguang and other places, was the Governor of the Navy, and his rank was first rank;

Huagao, the governor of the navy, ordered to build sea boats to transport grain and pay for the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Cundao, the commander of the imperial edict, served as a counselor for the Navy's governor's office.

The imperial edict established the Jiaozhou Prefecture, which governed the three counties of Jiaoxi, Gaomi and Jimo.Take Si Shaoqing and Huai as the magistrates of Jiaozhou.Order him to summon civilian husbands to repair Jiaozhou harbor.

The Jiaozhou Guard was set up in the imperial edict, and Mao Xiang was commanded as the commander of the Jiaozhou Guard.

The imperial edict set up the Yinghai Division, and the administrative office was established in Mingzhou.

Zhu Yuan was ordered to be the inspector of the southeast, with a rank of three grades, holding a saber to supervise civil and military officials in the southeast counties and counties.

The coastal states and counties are ordered to count the fisher household registers and transfer them to the Yinghai Division Office within [-] days.

The Shipping Department of Taicang City was dismissed, and all the officials went to Mingzhou Yinghaisi Yamen Office to be dispatched immediately. The envoys of overseas countries were picked up and sent directly to Jinling.

……

This series of edicts made many people realize that a single mountain related to the Daming sea area quickly rose in the court.

Among them, the two key people became the focus.

However, those who understand the inside story actually know that there may be only one real key.

A few days ago, Hua Gao missed a major event because of taking the wrong medicine, not only was he disliked by His Majesty the Emperor, he was not even invited to the banquet after he ascended the throne, and the private words of this insider inside and outside the court became a joke .

With His Majesty's resolute and decisive temperament, how could such a person be allowed to be the commander of a brand new military branch?

However, it just happened.

If things happen impermanently, there must be demons.

This 'monster' is naturally the worldly master Zhu Yuan who is still talked about to give His Majesty the emperor 500 years of statehood.

If you don't believe me, look at this appointment again.

Huagao got only one navy commander, but Zhu Yuan had a series of official positions, among which the southeast inspector who could be "killed first and played later" made the necks of many local military and political officials feel chills when they heard the news.

Even if it is His Majesty's Saber, no one wants to enjoy such an honor.

In short, between Huagao and Zhu Yuan, one is from the first rank and the other is the third rank. Although there is a difference of three ranks, it is really hard to say who listens to each other.

Some courtiers who professed their sobriety were already feeling sentimental.

It has only been a long time since the founding of the country, and His Majesty the Emperor has started to use treacherous ministers just because of that one false statement.

And he was still a young child.

So the uproar and undercurrents came to the second day, the seventh day of February, at the beginning of the morning, a fleet of more than 45 ships of different sizes set off from Jinling and headed for the southeast.Among them, the hugeness of the first ship is amazing. The sail has twelve sides, [-] feet long and [-] feet wide, with a total of seven floors up and down.

It is said that the boat was given to Zhu Yuan by His Majesty the Emperor.

The common people who came to watch the excitement just admired, and some officials have lamented again.

Traitor!
After the fleet disappeared, the people watching the excitement gradually dispersed. Among the crowd, a man in blue picked up a horse from the foot shop by the river, and went all the way back to the city.

He was led by another servant into a flower hall in the deep mansion. There were two people talking here. One was Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the left, who had reported that he was ill and had returned home early, and the other was Chen Ning, who was re-elected by His Majesty the Emperor not long ago. A list of the Taicang Shipbuilding Department who will never be hired in the end.

After the servant reported and left, before Li Shanchang opened his mouth, Chen Ning said with resentment: "It's too much bullying, Prime Minister Zuo, this Shibo's promotion...that person can pick it out."

Li Shanchang held the teacup and didn't speak, but he knew why Chen Ning said so.

Back then when he helped Chen Ning recover, this Taicang lifter sent him several carts full of all kinds of sea treasures within a few days after he arrived in Taicang, which shows that the ship lifter in that city is rich in oil and water.

Some young child, or just a few slanderous words, took away the authority of the city secretary.

However, what can Li Shanchang say?

In just these few days, Li Shanchang clearly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was alienating him, even guarding against him.

Let’s just say that this Ying Haisi, since it is a third-rank yamen, should be under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu as usual like Jiangzuosi and Sinongsi. He asked someone to write a letter to test it out early this morning. It is clearly stated that the Ying Hai Division is directly under his personal command.

Deliberately bypassing Zhongshu, this is not to guard against him, but who?

Ugh.

It's all because of that day.

Cui Ji shouldn't be tempted rashly.

Because he didn't keep Cui Ji, at the moment, he just wanted to order some serious things, and some people started to shirk.

Mistake!
Chen Ning next to him spoke a few more words, Li Shanchang finally couldn't help complaining in a strange way: "We old dogs are not as likable as that newly grown cat."

However, after saying this, Li Shanchang quickly restrained himself again, and said to Chen Ning: "Mingze, I am also powerless about your affairs. The world has been settled, and the lord is not as dependent on me as before. If you say you will never be hired, what can you do? You should go back to your hometown as soon as possible, and don’t let anyone see you in Jinling. Wait a few years, if I can still be in the court and let your son come, I will help take care of it. "

Chen Ning was stunned, his face was a little pale, the atmosphere was stalemate for a moment, he still got up, respectfully saluted and said goodbye to Li Shanchang.

After leaving Zuo Xiang's mansion, thinking that most of the goods he got during his short career as a lifter in Taicang city were all sent to Li Shanchang's mansion, he was unwilling to do so. If he had known today, he should have kept more.

Promote my son?
That rebellious son... Even if he becomes the prime minister in the future, what does he have to do with him!

Old Dog Li, you start shrinking when you encounter things, you belong to the bastard, no wonder you are suppressed by a young boy!
The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, Chen Ning asked the coachman to go around to the other corner of Zuoxiangfu, opened the curtain to make sure there was no one around, spat hard on the wall of the Xiangfu, and then left muttering.

However, Chen Ning did not dare to stay longer in Jinling, not to mention that there was no other close person in Jinling city to ask him to go back to his private house in Jinling, tidy up, and left the city, intending to return to Taicang by boat.

Chen Ning's ancestral home is in Huguang, and he moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in his early years. His last position was the promotion of the Taicang Shipbuilding Division.

When I arrived at the riverside, I remembered the report from the servant of the Li family, the arrogant child who was not dry...

So he started gnashing his teeth again.

Chen Ning didn't know the ins and outs of his being raped to the end, but his logic was also very simple. Whoever got the benefits in this matter must be behind the scenes.

Little traitor!
Looking at the torrential river, Chen Ning was about to leave. He didn't want to go with that person. However, there was no other way to go, so he finally boarded the boat.
