Wei Zhongxian was in charge of the seal of the celebrant supervisor, and his power rose sharply, and the ministers were whispering in private.

Because compared to Wang An, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, the name Wei Zhongxian is really strange and scathing to them.

Since the Wei family came to power, countless eunuchs and female officials in the inner court have been expelled, and the reasons are very far-fetched, just because Wei Zhongxian's party is different.

Wei Zhongxian installed his own henchmen into the palace, but Zhu Youxiao turned a deaf ear, and either went to Nanhaizi all day long, or was on the way to Nanhaizi.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao's close attendants were all given to the foreign court by Wang Antong, and the ministers knew what his conduct was.

Now the new batch of villains are all "flattering" villains selected by Wei Zhongxian, and in their opinion, the emperor is in a deeper hoodwink.

The ministers of the foreign dynasty did not know the details of the emperor's close servants, and their hearts were also covered with a shadow of unease.

Despite this, the officials and scholars will still play a few pieces of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen.

What is different from the past is that even if Zhu Youxiao does not have to deliberately hide, he can avoid these useless party disputes between the government and the opposition.

On this day, Zhu Youxiao was watching Qi Jin demonstrate the internal exercise of the Yongwei Camp in the inner school field.

On the left side, a little eunuch selected by Wei Zhongxian was reading the recital for Zhu Youxiao, and on the right side, Qi Jin waved his hand and asked a pacesetter to wave the military flag.

Seeing the military flag dancing, a puff of white smoke burst out violently in the field.

"Long live the emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

In the earth-shattering shouts of the soldiers, Zhu Youxiao's thoughts drifted to the remote Phi Island.

......

On the coast, Mao Chenglu touched his empty belly and muttered:

"The brethren went out hunting with their heads in their hands, and with great difficulty they caught a badger and two rabbits, but they had to wait for him to come."

"Who is this Wang Tiqian?"

"I haven't eaten for two days, what are you kid doing?" Mao Wenlong sneered a few times.

At this time, seeing that there was still no shadow of the ship, the soldiers on the side couldn't help but say: "General, I haven't eaten for two days..."

"We, too, I'm afraid this angel won't come, or we-"

The soldiers were eager to try and catch the prey in the cage.

Mao Wenlongtou didn't reply, and put his hand on the saber: "Dare to catch?" Don't be afraid of violating the general's military law! ”

Hearing this, the pro-soldiers, who had been starving for a long time, forced their eyes off the cage.

On this day, it was the day when Wang Tiqian, the left military supervisor of the imperial court, went to the Dongjiang River.

Mao Wenlong is looking forward to it day and night, waiting for this day.

If the imperial court didn't send people here, it would be impossible to know what an embarrassing situation Dongjiang Town had reached now!

"It is said that the one who came was originally a close attendant who used to serve by the emperor's side?"

"I don't know, it's not a small story anyway."

"Then he came and saw us poor like this, wouldn't he..."

Hearing the whispers of the soldiers, Mao Wenlong only sneered a few times in his heart, what are you afraid of?

The bigger the official, the better, and the better he can talk to the emperor.

He didn't believe that the emperor's close attendant, who was pampered in the capital, could stay on this isolated island with one meal for three days!

If you can't stay, run back, that's the best result!

Although it is now March, the solar term at the turn of spring and summer, and everything in the Central Plains is recovering, but the place of Phi Island still makes people feel uncomfortable when they think about it.

Wang Tiqian waited quietly in the cabin, thinking about what countless Phi Dao should look like.

I heard that many years ago this was not a place where people lived, and there were wild beasts everywhere.

It was Mao Wenlong who brought his subordinates to this place, reclaimed the tuntian, and became self-sufficient, which brought him to this point.

"General, the ship is coming!" Mao Chenglu pointed ahead, his voice full of uncontrollable surprise.

Mao Wenlong shook the armor on his body and said loudly: "All go with the general to greet him!" ”

Soon, Wang Tiqian met Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang in the Ming Dynasty.

At first glance, Mao Wenlong was not as atmospheric as the imperial court general soldier in his impression, on the contrary, his whole person exuded a rebellious characteristic.

At this time, Mao Wenlong, whose iron armor was covered with deerskin, was tightly bound at the waist, and he was more like a free-range wolf than the fierce Saiwai Jianjiao.

When Wang Tiqian looked at Mao Wenlong, the latter was also looking at him.

Sure enough, the people who came from Jingshi are those with fine skin and tender meat, and looking at this angel dressed in gorgeous clothes, he should not be a master who can endure hardship.

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The angel is running all the way, it is really hard, and the last general has ordered someone to prepare a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!" ”

"Good! Mr. Mao, please! ”

Hearing the banquet, Wang Tiqian was directly interested.

......

After a while, Wang Tiqian looked at the "wine banquet" in front of him and frowned.

A badger, two rabbits, and a few bowls of rice, this is the banquet that welcomes our family from Beijing?

Ren is a military supervisor under our family, and when he arrives in the place, has he ever eaten a more shabby banquet than this!

Who is this humiliating?

"Mr. Mao, what do you mean by this?" Wang Tiqian held the chopsticks and couldn't eat a bite.

After a long silence, he stood up with a reproachful tone.

"Angel, you—don't you eat?" Mao Chenglu held his hand and slapped his mouth a few times.

At this moment, the bowl of rice in Wang Tiqian's hand rolled to the ground.

The steaming rice fell into the soil, and in the eyes of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, it was more distressing than the gold and silver spilled on the ground.

They stepped forward, grabbing the mud mixed with rice in their hands and swallowing it in their mouths without the slightest hesitation.

"What for?" Mao Wenlong held the saber and said loudly: "In front of the angels, you must not be presumptuous, give me a retreat!" ”

"General, this... It's food! Mao Chenglu grabbed the soil and stuffed it into his mouth, "We starved to death five people yesterday because we couldn't eat this mouthful of food!" ”

Looking at this scene, most of the anger in Wang Tiqian's heart dissipated.

Before he could speak, a large group of Liao people crowded in the distance.

These Liao people, all in rags, all looked straight at the remaining bowls of rice and rabbit meat on Wang Tiqian's table.

"Eat! Also eat! Mao Wenlong kicked on the back of a personal soldier and reprimanded: "You are all so bold, you are not afraid of the general's military law!" ”

The pro-soldier let go of his hand and lay directly on the ground exhausted.

"General, my brother and I both escaped from the Pu River, what kind of military law? We are here to kill the Tartars, and we will starve to death if we listen to military law! ”

"General, I haven't eaten for two days, one meal for three days, I'm hungry!"

Looking at these people, Mao Wenlong let go of the saber in his hand and sighed: "Don't do this in the future." ”

Wang Tiqian's eyes widened, and the few horsemen he brought with him all looked incredulous.

Dongjiang Town, is it so poor?

That's not right! The emperor used to collect millions of taels of Liao money every year, where did they go?

Just as he was shocked by the scene in front of him, a little girl from Liaomin who was about five or six years old ran over.

She put her bruised hand into her arms, rubbed it for a while, took out a large ginseng, raised her head to look at Wang Tiqian, and said:

"Uncle Angel, give you this... What I dug up today, give us some food. ”

Mao Wenlong didn't expect it to be like this today, if the people were in chaos and did not do well against the left military prison, it would be difficult to atone for his sins!

He was about to scold, but found Wang Tiqian squatting down.

With tears in his eyes, Wang Tiqian took the big ginseng in the little girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Angel, let's go back to Beijing and let the emperor exchange this ginseng for rice for you." ”

"Okay?"

"Good! Good! The little girl was picked up by Wang Tiqian, her eyes brightened.

The riders looked at each other a few times, spontaneously took out various foods from their pockets, and distributed them to the Liao people on Phi Island.

......

Looking at Wang Tiqian's return boat, the Liao people were happily guessing.

"Hey, you say, when the time comes, what will the emperor send us?"

One person replied, "There are probably thin noodles." ”

But I heard another person sneer: "You two guys who have no future, the emperor issued it, of course, it is a big white steamed bun!" ”
