Chapter 1125 There is no free lunch
Wei Liangchen had many things to do, but Wanli drove him away, which made him look so wronged. Not to mention that he had helped Wanli get hundreds of thousands of taels of Tibetan silver in front of him, and paid 450,000 taels of filial piety out of his own pocket, and just paid for his unpaid second payment. Wanli could not treat him like this.
This speed of turning against others is faster than that of him lifting his pants, which is truly a shame to the emperor.
That is, because he is the emperor who can do whatever he wants, if someone else treats him like this, Eunuch Wei must give him a list so that he can know why the flowers are so popular.
"What, do you have any objections to me?"
Wei Liangchen's face of reluctance made Wanli feel uncomfortable. This kid would go to the house to remove the tiles without knocking on it all day. It was time for him to know why the flowers were so red.
"Sister..."
Wei Liangchen was anxious. He didn't even go to see his son, so he couldn't just leave like that.
Seeing this, the imperial concubine was anxious and was a little reluctant to leave the bastard so quickly, so she asked her husband: "Your Majesty, why did you ask him to go back to Beijing?"
"Ah...this..."
Wanli's expression became strange and whispered.
"Empress, I have caused trouble outside and apologized to Your Majesty."
Wei Liangchen's stomach is still tolerant. At the critical moment, he did not betray the emperor. He never told the imperial concubine about private money.
If there is any grievance, he will bear it alone.
"Yes, yes, this kid is too brave. He offended all the ministers of Nandu and made me very upset." Wanli gave Wei Liangchen a deep glance. He hoped that the other party could understand what he could tell and what he could not tell.
I understand the humble one, but you must understand it too!
Wei Liangchen also gave the emperor a sincere look.
Wanli looked at it and snorted secretly. If the imperial concubine hadn't been by her side, she would have to ask the kid what he meant.
"Xiao Wei is not doing it for your business, not for you, the emperor, why should he do that offends people? Your Majesty should take more responsibility here, otherwise who would be willing to do things for Your Majesty? If Your Majesty really thinks he is useless and just causes trouble for you, then why would you take down his errands and let them go back to your hometown."
The imperial concubine's speech was very fair. If you want to use it, her husband had to be more generous and tolerant. No, let her go back and get married and have children, so as to avoid being upset all day long.
Wanli whispered and did not express anything to the imperial concubine's words. He didn't say anything. Let this kid leave, who will make money from the south?
Although this kid is a bit disturbing in Nandu, it is not very disturbing. Can those founding heroes honestly take out the money after they come to the country?
A smart emperor would not be a stinky person himself.
Moreover, this kid finally opened up the situation in the south and made a fuss in Jiangnan. At this moment, Wanli would never change people.
How could the Concubine not know about her husband's thoughts? He raised his butt and the Concubine knew whether it was over. She pretended to be careless and glanced at Wei Liangchen, and then said lightly: "This kid is a little slick, but it's pretty good to Your Majesty. It's been more than a year away, and it's rare to come back. You have to let others rest for a few days as Your Majesty."
After saying that, he praised him again: "Little Wei is loyal, and I also see it. This time I went to the West Mountain to worship Buddha. Xiao Wei sprained his foot for the sake of guarding, so he was wearing a clothes and took someone outside to patrol day and night. I was moved when I saw it."
"oh?"
Wanli didn't pay attention to Wei Liangchen's ankle sprained, so he nodded and encouraged him: "You are so mean."
"This is what I should do!" Wei Liangchen said hurriedly.
However, Wanli did not change his idea of asking Wei Liangchen to get out quickly. Concubine Yu said, "He has nothing to do, so he can rest if he goes back early. I don't know that this kid is used to cheating on me with my name. I don't feel upset when I am in the south end, but I am really worried in the capital."
This is also the truth. Wanli is really worried that something happened to Wei Liangchen. He is not afraid that Wei Liangchen will cause trouble himself, but that Fuqing's uncle Ye Xianggao and the Donglin Party will not let him go.
The burning of Donglin Academy was not so easy to pass. In addition, the matter of Qin's case would be very difficult if the outside court suddenly grabbed him, Wei Liangchen and refused to let go.
So it was also a disguised way to ask Wei Liangchen to leave Beijing early, and Wanli also had some painstaking efforts.
The imperial concubine was anxious, but she couldn't act too much, so she had to ask Wei Liangchen: "What else do you have?" As she asked, she secretly gave him a look.
Wei Liangchen hurriedly said, "Reply to the queen, I have a few things to do when I come back this time."
The imperial concubine said, "Tell me and listen to it to Your Majesty."
"Yes, Empress."
Wei Liangchen said respectfully to Wanli: "Your Majesty, after I go back this time, I will lead my troops to go out to sea, but the soldiers under my command are not fully equipped with armor and weapons. Therefore, I want to buy some things from the Imperial Horse Supervision and the Warring States Bureau and make some preparations to ensure that this time I go out to sea can win."
"You can do this by yourself, but I'm not sure." Wanli had no reason to disagree with the preparations for going to sea.
Wei Liangchen secretly scolded you for saying something nice, but you have to show it to the reality, and said with a look of embarrassment: "I am tight, and I have all the money..."
Wanli raised his hand impatiently, interrupted him, and said, "I will continue to explain these things."
It's okay to say this. With the eyes of the imperial concubine, Wei Liangchen took the opportunity to say, "In addition, I have fewer people under my command, so I want to recruit more people to expand His Majesty's Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, so that going to sea will be more secure."
Wanli frowned and asked him: "How much do you plan to expand the Imperial Army?"
"Thirty thousand."
Wei Liangchen originally wanted to report a 50,000 yuan, but he thought that was too scary, so he still reported a 30,000 yuan.
However, even so, this number of people still scared Wanli: "Thirty thousand!"
As Wei Liangchen thought before, Wanli strongly opposed the plan to expand the Imperial Army of 30,000 people.
The imperial concubine took action, and she said, "Your Majesty, the imperial army is your personal army. Not to mention 30,000, or 300,000, it is also your emperor's soldier."
"I know, but there are only a few thousand people in the Yongwei camp. He only has 30,000 people at a time. Where can I get the money to support him?" Wanli shook his head.
"When will Your Majesty raise him?"
The imperial concubine's words made Wanli stagnate.
"Tell Your Majesty, how do you plan to raise these 30,000 soldiers and how do you use them?" The imperial concubine signaled Wei Liangchen to show her.
"Your Majesty, that's it..."
Wei Liangchen reported the carefully drafted division and group plan to Wanli, and vividly described the path of strengthening the army to "focus on fighting" and "fostering troops through war."
"…. I guessed that as long as I control the Dongfan and Ryukyu waterways, I can repay all the bonds within three years and hand them to the inland treasury no less than one million taels."
This is actually a re-examination of the old tune, which has concretized the previous maritime prospects.
Wei Liangchen emphasized the need for actual control over the Eastern Ban and Ryukyu, and this actual control depends on the number of troops stationed by the Imperial Army.
Wanli listened very seriously. Wei Liangchen said that the strong Siming Gong Shen Yiguan secretly revealed that there was no problem. However, he still could not agree to Wei Liangchen's request and expanded the Ming Dynasty imperial army to 30,000 in the name of the court.
But he had his own compromise plan, and he said, "I can't give you a clear text on this matter, you can do it yourself."
This is also Wanli's usual attitude towards serving in the inner court.
Although it was a bit regretful, Wei Liangchen also knew that the court could not use his expansion plan, so it was rare to have the endorsement of Emperor Wanli.
Just as he was about to thank him, the imperial concubine suddenly said, "Your Majesty, give him the troops of tens of thousands of people. Don't worry, I'm not at ease."
Um?
Wei Liangchen was stunned: Where is this affair with his old lover?
Wanli was also stunned, and then his expression became serious: What the imperial concubine said is reasonable. This kid is not a eunuch. Is it a bit out of order to lead an army of 30,000 people?
"What does beloved concubine mean?"
"Your Majesty has promised me to let Chang Xun territorial maritime special zone before. Since this imperial army is a maritime affairs, it should be under Chang Xun's name."
"Non-no, Chang Xun is the prince, how can he lead the army!"
Wanli was a little angry. The imperial concubine was simply a mess. No matter how much he loved Chang Xun, he could not openly violate the ancestral system and let him lead the army. This is the root of the disaster!
The imperial concubine did not stop saying that, but said, "I didn't say that I had to let Chang Xun lead the army. My meaning was to find someone who could trust to watch for His Majesty. Well, there is nothing wrong with Guotai in Beijing anyway. I want him to go and practice."
