"This guy..."

Zhu Youjian was almost speechless. Why couldn't this guy calm down? He thought that he had been out for more than a year and had all the credit for his hard work. Let him have a good rest and marry the little county of Dingguo Gong's family.

Lord, the scenery is so beautiful, why can’t he just take a break?

"He is quite good. He really feels that he is the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River. He is still thinking about the gunboats of the Folangji people. Can the gunboats of the Folangji people be as useful as our Ming navy?"

"I think maybe Jiang Wan really thinks this way in his heart!" Wang Chengen said cautiously: "Even when he ran the errand of Fo Langji's cannon, he dared to accept the little benefit that Folangji gave him.

If he comes out to cause trouble, it shows that he is really not afraid of His Majesty's wrath!"

"snort!"

Zhu Youjian snorted slightly. He was really not angry. Even the money for the first batch of Folang robot cannons was raised by Jiang Wan and sent to the palace. If he didn't get any benefit from it,

Luo, then he really couldn't worry about this guy.

He is not greedy for money, not lewd, but loyal, and only serves the king and the court. This kind of minister is not famous in history books as a loyal minister, but Jiang Wan does not look like someone who wants to leave a name in history.

Loyal ministers, even if they pass the two hurdles of wealth and sex, they may not all be able to let go of the "fame" hurdle.

Ever since Jiang Wan served in the Tenth Prince's Palace, from Tingyu Tower to Nanhaiwei, he never seemed to care about whether his reputation was good or bad, or whether others praised or derogated him. Zhu Youjian felt that he could not deal with such a person.

Simply control it the way you treat your other ministers.

"Does Feng Changxin of Shuntian Mansion have anything to say?"

"This slave doesn't know!" Wang Chengen said calmly: "This slave doesn't dare to know or ask about the affairs of the outer court!"

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen with some admiration in his eyes: "Let him enter the palace tomorrow. I will have a good chat with him to find out what he thinks!"

In the Palace of Qianqing the next day, Zhu Youjian was still in charge of government affairs. Jiang Wan was not qualified to participate in political affairs here. However, he still entered the palace early in the morning, and then went to court near Wu'an Palace.

In the room, he drank tea all morning with a bunch of military officers who looked upon him and others looked upon him.

No one talked to him. The military attache who was waiting for an audience in the court room of Wu'an Palace was at least a senior general. It was simply too inconvenient for a mere guard commander to be among the military attaches. Especially when he was unfamiliar, it meant that he was not from the capital.

The famous commanders of the guards and the various military commanders in Weili naturally ignored this little transparency.

After the court meeting, the order in which the emperor summoned the generals who were waiting to see him one by one also shows that he was quite right to be ignored. One by one, the big bosses got up and went to Qianqing Palace amidst the roll call of the junior officials.

By noon, there were almost only three or two lonely kittens in the entire court room.

At this hour, it is impossible to summon him. It is already the time for His Majesty to have lunch. This also means that the three or two kittens waiting in the court room will have to stay hungry until the Emperor has finished eating.

Even after taking a nap, I decided whether to continue summoning them or let them come again tomorrow.

Jiang Wan was also a little hungry. He arrived at the palace before dawn and drank tea all morning. His stomach was already growling unsatisfactorily.

When he was wondering whether he should find a way to get something to cushion him, a young eunuch hurried over and said: "Commander Jiang Wan of Nanhai Guard has an audience!"

Jiang Wan stood up and left the court. The remaining three or two kittens, each with big eyes waiting for small eyes, looked surprised at each other.

"At this time, Your Majesty is still summoning me. Is this a favor to give me a banquet?"

"You're careless, you're careless. If I had known that this man had such grace, I should have gotten close to him just now!"

"Commander of the Nanhai Guard, everyone, have you heard of the Nanhai Guard?"

Jiang Wan didn't know what the guys around him who were destined to starve at noon were talking about him. At this moment, he followed the young eunuch out of the court room and arrived at the Yangxin Hall. Zhu Youjian had a row of dishes spread out in front of him and was starting to eat.

, and Wang Chengen is waiting on him carefully.

"Sit down and eat something with me!"

Zhu Youjian casually pointed to the opposite side, where a young eunuch brought dishes with bowls and chopsticks. Jiang Wan nodded to thank him and started eating without any politeness.

There was a list of dishes, and he didn't think the taste was very good. At least it was worse than the dishes in Qingyun Tower. However, he really ate it with gusto. At some point, Zhu Youjian had put down his chopsticks and was holding a cup in his hand.

Ginseng tea, watching him eat deliciously with great satisfaction.

These are my own people, no pretense, no fear, just those old guys in the cabinet, having a meal with me is just like suffering, it's really no fun at all!

Seeing that Jiang Wan was almost finished eating, Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen, and a cup of fragrant ginseng tea was delivered to Jiang Wan.

"Stop being the commander of the Nanhai Guard!"

Zhu Youjian spoke suddenly and saw Jiang Wan swallowing the tea in his mouth as if nothing had happened, then placing the tea bowl on the table, and respectfully responded: "Yes!"

"Don't ask who I plan to hand over the Nanhai Guard to lead. After all, this Nanhai Guard was trained by you one by one!"

"Even if I train each soldier, they are soldiers trained for Your Majesty and for the imperial court. Naturally, I will be happy to see whoever Your Majesty puts in command!"

Jiang Wan said sternly, with no trace of reluctance in his eyes.

"When you go to Dongjiang Town, I allow you to pick some people from Nanhaiwei who can use it easily, but you have to keep those firearms soldiers!" Zhu Youjian said slowly: "The tactics you have practiced, if

Without the firearms soldiers, the Nanhai Guard will be no different from other soldiers and horses!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!" Jiang Wan said solemnly.

What Zhu Youjian means is that after he takes away the people he thinks are useful from the Nanhai Guard, the Nanhai Guard will have nothing to do with him in the future. This is simply like taking away all the team he has worked so hard to manage.

He meant to start all over again.

"Of course, I won't ask for your guards and horses in vain!" Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Jiang Wan's attitude: "When Yuan Chonghuan was in charge of Ji Liao, I gave him a Shangfang sword. You go to Dongjiang now.

, the prestige of both men and horses is not enough, I will also give you a Shangfang sword. Whether it is a border Tartar or a traitor, you can use this sword to kill them. I allow you to kill them first and then show them!"

Seeing Jiang Wan wanted to thank him again, Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "However, Shang Fang's sword can only be used in Dongjiang Town. You must understand this!"

"This is Your Majesty's favor and respect for me. Whether or not I use it, and wherever I use it, I will always be grateful for Your Majesty's grace!"

"Jiang Qing!" Zhu Youjian shook his head: "You are someone close to me. Don't thank me easily. I don't want to listen to your high-sounding words of gratitude. I don't want you to become like other ministers.

There are many ministers who are exactly the same as them, I don’t care if you have more of you or less of you!”

"But this is indeed what I think in my heart!" Jiang Wan suddenly looked a little aggrieved: "When other ministers speak to Your Majesty, I don't know whether they speak from the bottom of their hearts like I do. But, I

I can swear that every word I say is sincere!"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I still wronged you, right?"

In the Yangxin Hall, with Zhu Youjian's laughter, the serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot. Wang Chengen, on the side, also smiled slightly. He had been around Zhu Youjian for a long time and had not seen him for a long time.

There are times when Zhu Youjian can't help but laugh.

"Don't use the Shangfang sword I gave you to kill Fo Langji!" Zhu Youjian finished laughing, pointed at Jiang Wan and said: "When you are still in the capital and thinking about the Dongjiang River, do you think that there is another side of the Dongjiang River?

, I really miss you!"

"Hahaha!" Jiang Wan seemed to smile a little awkwardly: "This is not idle, but it is idle. Moreover, with my experience in commanding the Nanhai Guard, I am afraid that if I go to Dongjiang, your Majesty will not have much food and salary for me.

, make some plans in advance to avoid being in a hurry later!”

"I know that the trouble you caused with Fo Langji is not as high-sounding as you say!"

Zhu Youjian glared at him: "Tell me, what are your plans? You can't cause trouble for me. I'm so busy every day now that I don't have time to pay attention to you and Fo Langjiren."

That little thing!"

"Your Majesty, you know that I got some new crops from the people of Folangji and are trying to plant them in Shaanxi. It is estimated that good news will be sent to your Majesty soon. This matter is very important to Folang.

As far as robots are concerned, what I did was unethical, but for the sake of our Ming Dynasty, I don’t care about such unethical things at all!”

"So, you're going to be unfair to them again?"

"The Folangji people have the technology to build cannons, and their gunboats are also extremely sharp. I once witnessed this with my own eyes when I was in Ningyuan. If there are only three or two of these gunboats, and they want to embarrass Dongjiang Town, I will

I’m afraid it’s also a big trouble!”

Jiang Wan talked eloquently: "Since it is a big trouble, it must be solved before it happens. Anyway, sooner or later, I will fall out with Fo Langji. It is certainly better for me to fall out now rather than later!"

"Moreover, I don't necessarily have to fall out with them. Fans value profits. If I can bring them enough benefits, maybe they can not only put aside their feud with me, but they can continue to cooperate. When the time comes,

, their gunboats may be able to be used by me, and Dongjiang Town may be able to gain an ally!"

"I am very poor now, very poor!" Zhu Youjian looked at Jiang Wan blankly: "We need money everywhere, and there are holes everywhere. I have nothing to ask you to hang out with Fo Langjiren!"

"No, no, no, I don't think I would trade Ming Dynasty's interests with Fo Langji, let alone use the court's one tael of silver!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "I have some ideas in my mind, but I have to force Fo Langji.

Submit step by step..."

"You don't need to tell me how to do it specifically!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "I just pretend that I don't know about this matter, you just have to know it yourself!"

"yes!"

Jiang Wan responded, but neither of them spoke anymore, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

"The Tartars have no navy!" After a long time, Zhu Youjian suddenly said.

"But the imperial court is short of money!" Jiang Wan paused and replied slowly.

"Okay, please step back!" Zhu Youjian muttered slowly: "My grace will be sent to your house when you get married. When you get to Dongjiang, lead the troops well and do things well!"

"I will remember your Majesty's instructions!"

Jiang Wan withdrew. Zhu Youjian lowered his head to look at the tea bowl in his hand, then tilted his head and glanced at Wang Chengen: "Big companion, go and see him off!"

The hungry military attachés in the Wu'an Palace, when they were bored, saw a scene from the gate that surprised them again. The commander of the guard whom they had not taken a fancy to was actually in charge of the prisoner Wang Eunuch.

Accompanied by his wife, the two passed by them chatting and laughing.

"Did you have a meal in front of His Majesty and then be escorted out of the palace by the prince?"
