It doesn't matter if Mr. Jin forgets the land of Sangzi," Zhu Qizhen said leisurely: "But the people in your hometown can't forget you, right?" Have you had a visit recently? ”

"Your Majesty ......" Jin Ying puffed and knelt on the ground again, kowtowing again and again, "The old slave has entered my Ming Dynasty, and as a Ming person, he died as a Ming ghost." Don't dare to have the slightest double-heartedness! Please also ask the emperor to see it! ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled, got up and stayed, walked in front of Jin Ying, stretched out his hand and helped him, "Manager Jin, please get up, you are an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and the Queen Mother also relies on you a lot, what else do I distrust you?" ”

Jin Ying stood up tremblingly, not daring to look at him.

"Although I am young, I have also read some of the files of your ministers," Zhu Qizhen said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, Chief Jin is a person from the former Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy Si Qinghua Mansion, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Jin Ying replied honestly, "The old slave is from Heluotong, Jiuzhen County, Thanh Hoa Prefecture. ”

"It seems that Mr. Jin hasn't forgotten his Sangzi Township," Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, "Fang just deliberately concealed it from me, could it be that there is something hidden?" ”

"Old slave, old slave ......" Jin Ying was speechless.

"I heard a few days ago that a distinguished guest from the south came to your house," the corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth hooked an intriguing arc, "Manager Jin locked him up without saying a few words to him, I really want to know, what is the reason for this?" ”

"The emperor's ......" Jin Ying was so shocked that he was about to kneel, but his arm was held by Zhu Qizhen's hand.

"Chief Jin has been in this palace for forty years, and he can return to Beijing after going to Nandu for a few years, which shows that the means are very," Zhu Qizhen seemed to have a smile on his face, "There is no doubt about my loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but you and I still have to put our hearts and minds into each other!" ”

"Yes, yes, the old slave is stupid and has failed the emperor's grace," Jin Ying's cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he stretched out his sleeve and wiped his forehead, "That person's name is Ding Wen, and he is the capital of Li Yimin, the king of Langshan in Annan. ”

"A little feudal lord, I didn't come here to catch up with you, did I?" Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty," Jin Ying's body trembled, reached into his arms, groped for a while and took out a cowhide envelope with fire paint and handed it over, he didn't have the intention to take it with him, but he was afraid that the letter would be lost in the house, so he kept it close to him, "This is the letter that Ding Wen handed over to the old slave, saying that it was written by Liangshan Jun to the emperor, and the old slave didn't dare to ......open it without authorization" After a pause, he said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the old slave wants to hand it over to the emperor at a cheap time, and now the emperor asks, and the old slave presents it to the emperor." ”

"You have a heart," Zhu Qizhen glanced at the envelope and didn't reach out to take it, "Li Yimin, a feudal lord of a foreign domain, actually handed over a letter to you, an eunuch, and took this extraordinary path and then transferred it to me, the reason for this is intriguing." You detained that person in the mansion without asking too much, do you know what happened in this Annan country? ”

"The old slave didn't dare to hide it from the emperor," Jin Yingcheng said in fear: "Li Yimin, the king of Langshan, is the eldest son of Li Yuanlong, the king of Annam, and was originally the son of Annam. Now Li Yuanlong's third son, Li Bangji, was established as the son of Annan. Li Yimin is ambitious, after being deposed as a son, he was indignant in his heart, and secretly kept his armor, this time he sent Ding Wen over, he must have borrowed the power of my Ming Dynasty to achieve his personal goal of usurping the throne of Annan. ”

"This person is quite bold," the corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth curled, "Walking your line is clearly because I don't want more people to know about his rebellion." ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Ying bowed and said, "I am a great Ming Dynasty and a gentle Quartet, how can I be used by a small man who is not a minister?" It was the old slave who temporarily detained Ding Wen in the palace, and if the emperor allowed it, the old slave sent Ding Wen back to Annam and handed it over to Li Yuanlong for disposal. ”

"Is that what Mr. Kim thinks?" Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, "This matter must be cautious, and you must not act rashly." ”

"Does the emperor mean to intervene in the affairs of Annan at the request of Li Yimin, the king of Langshan?" Jin Ying lowered her voice as she said this.

"The rebellion in Annan is small, and Li Yuanlong's collusion with rebels and bandits is a big matter for me to be a big deal," Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen's face became serious, "Annan is close to my Yunnan and Guangxi, according to some reports, Li Yuanlong is personally connected with some of my Ming Tusi, Lu."

Chuan's thinking method was instigated by him and repeatedly betrayed my Ming. Although this fang is deferential to my Ming, he secretly does something that is not good for my Ming......"

"Listening to the emperor's tone, is he going to use troops against Annan?" Kim Young's heart jumped.

"His son Li Li thought that in the name of Chen's restoration of the country, he repeatedly made enemies of my Ming Dynasty, and also made a puppet called Chen Song," Zhu Qizhen's face became excited, "Back then, my father endured it, withdrew his troops from Annan, and named Chen Song the king. In order to calm the situation, his father agreed to his request and named him the king of Annam. This family surnamed Li is weak and deceitful, and has repeatedly instigated the southwest toasts to secretly betray my Daming, which is really unbearable! ”

"The emperor is angry," Jin Ying persuaded on the side: "Now that I am in the Ming Dynasty, I have to use troops in both the north and the south, and this matter of Annan can be ignored for the time being." ”

"Manager Jin," Zhu Qizhen stared at him and said, "I heard that the descendants of the Chen family in Annan have you secretly placed them in my Daming?" ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Ying's cheeks twitched, "The descendants of the Chen family are in my Ming Dynasty, and they are no longer what they used to be." ”

"No wonder," Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows, with a little disdain on his face, "Twenty years have passed, and the family surnamed Li has gained a firm foothold in Annan, and the people of Annan have forgotten the surname Chen, right?" ”

Kim Young was silent.

"It seems that this article can only be done from within the family surnamed Li," Zhu Qizhen looked at him and said, "Is this Li Yimin's fief in Langshan Mansion?" ”

"Exactly," Jin Ying said, "since he is the king of Langshan, his fief is naturally in Langshan Mansion." ”

"This place is good," Zhu Qizhen's chin nodded slightly, "Close to the Taiping Mansion and Siming Mansion of my Ming Dynasty Guangxi Political Envoy, as long as he is willing to do the internal response, my Ming army can directly attack the capital of Annan and restore my Ming Dynasty Taizong Era Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division." Seeing that Jin Ying's face was a little strange, he said, "What, does Mr. Jin have anything to say to me?" ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Ying said with a straight face: "Annan is one of the fifteen non-conscripted countries appointed by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, although Emperor Taizong was incorporated into my Ming Dynasty, but the soldiers are constantly fighting, and a lot of manpower, financial and material resources need to be spent every year to maintain local governance, which is more than worth the loss, which is also the reason why the first emperor withdrew his troops that year." Li Yuanlong does not submit to me in his heart, I Daming will change to an obedient descendant of the Li family, and re-set up the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, according to the old slave, it is not the best policy. When he said this, he saw that the young emperor's face was not good, but he still stubbornly finished his words.

Zhu Qizhen smiled after hearing this, "Mr. Jin is in charge of the country, I have written it down," after a slight pause, his voice changed, "I heard that Yang Muyun is your son-in-law, is this true?" ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Ying's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "The old slave has a righteous daughter under his knees, called Shiso." The emperor had seen it in the White Pagoda of Wan'an Temple. ”

"Well," Zhu Qizhen nodded, "You righteous daughter is really beautiful, and even my harem can't compare!" ”

"The little girl is lowly and has no blessing to serve the emperor." Jin Ying didn't know what he meant by this, so he prevaricated.

"Your son-in-law is very blessed," Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Recently, I have given several concerts here, and some of them praise your son-in-law, not only fighting bravely, but also capturing the enemy chieftain alive, so good!" ”

"The son-in-law of the old slave is young and vigorous, and he has done a lot of things that go against the holy will, but fortunately, the emperor is magnanimous and allows him to make meritorious contributions. Kim Young said with his head down.

"He has always been the official with a sword in front of the Imperial Fifth Rank by my side before, and this time he has only been a general flag, so there will be no complaints in his heart, right?" Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

"The emperor had mercy on him, so he had the opportunity to go to the border to make meritorious contributions," Jin Ying said: "If it weren't for the emperor's opening up, he would still be in prison now!" ”

"You are a person who understands," Zhu Qizhen's face was straight, "It is also good for him that I let him go to the border pass to experience the experience, if he stands too tall at a young age, he will inevitably be attacked by others, as long as he is loyal to me and works hard, I will never treat him badly." ”

"Yes, yes, to be favored by the emperor, it is that kid for a few lifetimes

"The blessings of cultivation," Jin Ying said: "The old slave must bring the emperor's words to him when he goes back, so that he can be more cautious about being a good errand for the emperor." ”

"Well," Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, "It's getting late, you go back, the letter will be placed here by me, and tomorrow morning, you will hand over that Ding Wen to the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, remember, this matter must not be let others know." ”

"The old slave obeys, and the old slave retires!" Jin Ying said and stepped back, sweating in her heart, "It turns out that the emperor has installed a brocade guard in my palace, no wonder he knows everything about Na Ding Wen." ”

Jin Ying didn't withdraw from the door, Fang let out a long breath, a gust of wind blew, only to feel that it was cold behind him, and it turned out to be a cold sweat.

"Jin Gong, haven't you gone back to rest at such a late hour?" A familiar voice sounded in Jin Ying's ears, and he followed the sound to see that a red-robed old eunuch was looking at him with a smile.

"Wang Zhen?" Jin Ying felt a strange feeling in his heart, although he was similar in age to Wang Zhen, but Wang Zhen entered the palace in the last years of Yongle, and in terms of qualifications, he was much older. But because Wang Zhen served as the East Palace Bureau, he was by his side when Zhu Qizhen was still the prince, and after Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, he rose to the top, and he was above him.

"Oh, it's the prince," Jin Yingpi replied with a smile, and didn't call him Wang Julang as before, "It's so late, why are you here?" ”

Wang Zhen stepped forward with a smile, "This celebrant is no more trivial than the inner palace, he is very busy, and the urgent reports here are sent one after another, all of which need to be read by the emperor himself, don't hide it from Jin Gong, our family has been with the emperor for several days in a row, and I haven't closed my eyes properly." ”

"The emperor relies so much on the prince, the prince's future is really limitless!" Kim Young arched his hand.

"Jin Gong is making fun of our family," Wang Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, "They are all on an errand in the palace, what is the future, this errand should be on you and me, and it can be regarded as the end." Could it be that he can still be like Tong Guan in the Song Dynasty, and he also has a prince on his head? ”

"It's really impossible to say this," Jin Ying smiled at him, "Didn't the sign in the palace that ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs also be removed?" ”

"Ouch," Wang Zhen glanced at him, "Those foreign ministers said that our family is okay, why does Jin Gong also follow suit?" "Grinning, who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor wants to take care of those foreign ministers, so he will bring our family out, and our family only has the role of carrying the blame and blocking the arrows for others and interfering in political affairs?" Our family has that mind, and the emperor will not borrow our family's courage. ”

"Prince, we are both old ministers who came in Yongle Nian," Jin Ying said: "You and I can't tear each other down and let those foreign ministers see jokes." ”

"Jin Gong is too careful," Wang Zhen rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "Before you went to Nandu, the Empress Dowager meant, it has nothing to do with our family, and our family is not less beaten by the Empress Dowager!" We are slaves and maids, and we just want our masters to see that we are not bored and can endure a few more days. ”

Hearing Wang Zhen say this, Jin Ying couldn't scold him anymore, and asked in a low voice: "Prince, let's ask you for advice here, hasn't the war stopped here?" ”

"Since the great grandfather to the present, when has the Tartar made my Ming Dynasty stop," Wang Zhen sighed, "This northern land is as big as the sea, and it is difficult to find out the movement of the Tartars, and I have a border pass of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, and I can't prevent it......

"I heard that the emperor said that he captured an enemy chieftain," Jin Ying said, "This person's background should not be small, right?" ”

"Jin Gong also heard about it?" Wang Zhen glanced at him and smiled: "Speaking of which, this has something to do with your son-in-law!" He has done such a great thing, so you don't need to run around for him. ”

Jin Ying laughed dryly, "I don't know how this kid got lucky, as long as he can stop stabbing Lou Zi for our family, our family will be thankful." ”

"The luck he got is really not small," Wang Zhen said: "I think he should return to the capital in a few days, and the detailed situation is still up to him to tell you, okay, we still have a big matter here to report to the emperor as soon as possible, so I won't give you more to Jin Gong, and say goodbye!" He arched his hand as he spoke.

"Has the enemy chief been escorted into Beijing?" Jin Ying's words Wang Zhen's body was shocked.
