Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Zheng Ming has no reason or qualification to occupy Lingyuan Mansion.

"Just being the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture is not enough!" Zheng Ming said in a deep voice.

Using [-] sailors and the entire Lingyuan Mansion to exchange Xin Qiji's official position as a magistrate, this deal is too loss-making.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Even if His Highness handed over the navy and Lingyuan Mansion to the court, they can still belong to His Highness."

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant.

Sure enough, he is a fine person, and he only thinks of crooked ideas.

But it doesn't matter if the idea is crooked or not, as long as it works.

The navy is given to Chaotang, but the officers and men of the navy are all his people. Even if Chaotang strengthens the navy, the part he can control will only increase and not decrease.

The same is true for Lingyuan Mansion, as long as Xin Qiji occupies the position of magistrate, then the whole Lingyuan Mansion will not belong to him.

Moreover, Lingyuan Mansion is next to Shanhai County, so it should not be too easy for Zheng Ming to intervene.

With such an operation, Zheng Ming can not only get the approval of the cheap Lao Tzu and the court officials, but also use the court to strengthen the navy and Lingyuan Mansion.It can also allow Chaotang to share the pressure of Shanhai County in the sea.

And this situation does not affect the evaluation of the system, such as Siyuan Kingdom, Siyuan Kingdom still belongs to the Dongying Dynasty, and the nominal owner is still that daimyo, but the system still counts Siyuan Kingdom in its luck value.

So as long as Zheng Ming actually controls the Navy and Lingyuan Mansion, it doesn't matter whether he has a name or not.

"Then follow what Mister said." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

"Your Highness is wise." Jia Xu complimented.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zheng Qingsong looked at the memorial sent by Zheng Ming, and said with a smile: "This kid is quite smart."

"This is what His Highness should do." Eunuch Wei laughed.

"It's rare for him to be so honest." Zheng Qingsong said casually.

Although he doesn't mind the princes fighting, it doesn't mean he has no bottom line.

If Zheng Ming really occupied Lingyuan Mansion, he really had to think about how to deal with Zheng Ming.

But now that Zheng Ming took the initiative to hand over the Lingyuan Mansion and the navy, he felt very relieved.

"Recruit the cabinet into the palace." Zheng Qingsong said.

"Yes!" Eunuch Wei replied.

Soon, four cabinet ministers came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"How is the arrangement between Yunnan Province and Lingyuan Mansion?" Zheng Qingsong looked at the four of them and asked.

Zhang Lingzheng stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet's opinion is that Yunnan Province will continue to retain the original plan, Lingyuan Mansion will be merged into Beishan Province, and the court will send officials to manage it."

Zheng Qingsong nodded slightly, this is a matter of course, there is nothing to discuss.

"Who did the officials pick?" he asked.

Zhang Lingzheng took out a memorial and handed it to Zheng Qingsong, saying: "Currently only the officials of Yunnan Province have been drawn up, and the officials of Lingyuan Mansion have not been drawn up yet."

Zheng Qingsong opened the memorial and glanced casually.

This kind of matter can be dealt with by the cabinet. In fact, he does not need to ask specifically.

"Old Liang Ge, how about Xin Qiji?" He asked suddenly.

Liang Songnian was surprised, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xin has a great talent in the world, and he will help the time and the future."

"Oh, it must be extraordinary to be so respected by Mr. Liang Ge." Zheng Qingsong said with some surprise.

He understands Liang Songnian's temper, it's smelly and hard, and he always speaks out to persuade him.

People are divided into groups, and things of a feather flock together. It is not unreasonable for Liang Songnian and Song Yanneng to become friends.

But Liang Songnian is also an arrogant person, he will not praise someone casually.

"If that's the case, let him be the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture. We'll see if he's talented or not." Zheng Qingsong said flatly.

Liang Songnian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The other three remained silent, looking down at their noses.

They all knew in their hearts that Xin Qiji belonged to Zheng Ming, and the cabinet had already formed a tacit agreement with Zheng Ming, so they just ignored him, because it was useless to ask.

Chapter 141 The Wedding Date Advances

Zheng Qingsong put down the memorial in his hand, and asked Eunuch Wei: "Little Wei, is Ming'er's wedding coming soon?"

Eunuch Wei replied: "The Fifth Prince's wedding is scheduled for May next year, and there are still eight months left."

"How long will it take?" Zheng Qingsong frowned slightly, and said, "Go and tell Duke Ding, since the engagement has been made, let's get married as soon as possible, and his granddaughter should also leave the court."

"Yes, yes, I will arrange it now." Eunuch Wei said happily.

Zheng Qingsong said again: "Let's let Ming'er restore the throne."

The four of Zhang Lingzheng were stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

Eunuch Wei was even more overjoyed, and said: "Your servant obeys."

Zheng Qingsong waved his hands casually, and said, "Okay, you all go away."

Everyone hurriedly bowed and left.

The four of Zhang Lingzheng walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking a little dazed.

"Has your Majesty made a decision?" Sun Chengyun asked.

Li Huadao: "Your Majesty said before that the princes will divide the frontiers for a period of two years, and the one with the best achievements will be the prince. Although it is less than two years now, the fifth prince's achievements are undoubtedly the best."

"Perhaps the fifth prince is the most suitable." Sun Chengyun said softly, thinking about the changes in Shanhai County.

"Speak carefully!" Zhang Lingzheng said in a low voice.

The four immediately fell silent and said no more.

Liang Songnian, on the other hand, looked like an old god, just walking with his head down.

……

In the palace.

The artificial lake is as bright as a mirror, gently blowing, slight ripples layer upon layer, a few large lotus leaves floating on the lake, rippling slightly.

By the lake, the weak willow branches swayed in the wind, and a group of unknown birds chirped on them.

Zheng Ming was lying under the gazebo, looking at the swaying willow leaves and muttering softly: "The jasper makeup is as tall as a tree, and ten thousand green silk ribbons are hanging down. I don't know who will cut the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors."

"Your Highness, it is already October." Song Baobao reminded.

"..."

Zheng Ming's expression froze slightly, and he glanced at him.

"This king doesn't even know it's October!"

The artificial lake was designed by him, and the willow tree was planted by him. He just wanted to praise the fruits of his labor. What does it matter how many months?

"Heck~~" Lian Xing next to him laughed and said, "Many of those willow trees, Your Highness, have died, and I'm afraid they will be replanted next year."

The master and apprentice knew how to tear him down.

Zheng Ming snorted coldly and turned to look at Chen Duo.

It's still Chen Duo who is well-behaved and won't tear down the king's platform.

"Your Highness, a letter from Kyoto."

Yuhuatian suddenly ran over and reported.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Ming asked casually.

Yu Huatian glanced at Lian Xing, and said: "Your Majesty has decreed to confer His Highness as Prince Rui."

Zheng Ming frowned, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be a surprise. It's just a false name, and it's useless."

"Also, His Majesty has issued an order for Concubine Ming to arrange a grand wedding for His Highness. The wedding date is set on the first day of February next year." Yu Huatian said again.

Zheng Ming frowned, and said, "Why did you suddenly advance the wedding date?"

"It's His Majesty's intention. Duke Ding also agreed. Concubine Ming is already making preparations, and Concubine Ming seems to intend to come to Shanhai County." Yu Huatian said.

Zheng Ming frowned even deeper.

For his concubine mother, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiarity came from the memory of his previous life, while strangeness was his real feeling.

To be honest, he really didn't know how to face this concubine mother.

"Married?" Zheng Ming sighed.

In my previous life, I lived for nearly 30 years without being able to marry a daughter-in-law. I didn't expect to get married after only two years in this world.

The number one heroine in Kyoto.

Zheng Ming shook his head with a wry smile.

If it doesn't work, let's put it in the palace for offering. I hope she won't cause trouble for the king.

He thought so.

Retiring the engagement is impossible, this is the marriage that Zheng Qingsong has set, he can't really disrespect the order.

Don't look at Zheng Qingsong seems to value him very much now, but once he dares to resist the order, Zheng Qingsong will never spare him easily.

Zheng Ming secretly glanced at Lian Xing, saw that her expression was normal, and said softly: "Lian Xing, tell Ling Hua to get her ready."

"Your servant obeys." Lian Xing replied.

"Is there anything else?" Zheng Ming asked Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian said: "Master Xin's appointment as the magistrate of Lingyuan Mansion has been decided, but the Commander's Mansion has not yet confirmed the candidate for the commander of the Navy."

Zheng Ming nodded slightly.

This was expected, he handed over the navy and Lingyuan mansion to the court, if Zheng Qingsong didn't even give him a prefect, it would be unreasonable.

……

Heyuan 41 years, the ninth day of October.

Xin Qiji received Zheng Qingsong's imperial decree, bestowing his family background as a Jinshi and making him the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture.

Since Xin Qiji never came back from Lingyuan Mansion, Zheng Ming took over the imperial decree.

In addition to Xin Qiji, the Dudu Mansion also dispatched Yan Mingchen, the former commander of the Yunshang Navy, as the commander of the Dali Navy, a third-rank military officer, directly under the commander of the Dudu Mansion.

At the same time, the Shanhai County Navy merged with the Yunshang Navy.

After Yan Mingchen received the transfer order, he immediately left the original Yunshang navy and led a dozen followers to Shanhai County.

"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Rui!"

In the hall of the palace, Yan Mingchen bowed down to Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming looked him up and down, he was a heroic man.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yan Mingchen said respectfully.

Zheng Ming waited for him to stand up, and said softly: "The Shanhai County navy was built by me alone. It took two years and millions of taels of silver, and those soldiers are all good men from Shanhai County. You Treat them well in the future."

Yan Mingchen bowed his head and said: "This minister will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

"I heard that the new navy is located in Lingyuan Mansion?" Zheng Ming asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, the Governor's Mansion has decided to set up the navy station near the port of Lingyuan Mansion." Yan Mingchen replied.

Zheng Ming took a sip of his tea and said, "Lord Xin, the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture, is my teacher. If you need any help, you can go to Mr. Xin."

Yan Mingchen's heart trembled, this was obviously a reminder of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately replied: "This minister will go to visit Mr. Xin."

"That's good, the Shanhai County Navy Division will leave it to you." Zheng Ming nodded in satisfaction.
