Yan Chengjin was slightly surprised.

When I walked to the port, a six-masted white-sailed ship was slowly approaching the port.

Afraid that Yan Chengjin would not believe it, Zhang Xian said solemnly: "Lord Yan, the officials only saw it clearly, it hit the rocks......"

The six-masted ship showed no signs of stopping, and broke through the water towards the largest pier.

Gao Feng also recognized Yan Chengjin as a ghost, but after a slight glance, he knew that it was this dog official.

After more than a year of drifting at sea, I have been thinking about this figure all the time.

It's like a nightmare, more terrifying than a stormy wave.

"We need to see His Highness soon."

The celebrant has a large bell to check the number of eunuchs in the palace.

After leaving the imperial court for more than a year, I am afraid that he has already been removed from the list of the celebrant and has become a fugitive wanted by Dongchang.

The ship docked next to the dock, and the sailors worked together to lift the yellow ladder and lower the pier.

Gao Feng patted his face, forced out a smile, and walked down: "The slave misses Lord Yan, and she recognized it just now on the boat." ”

This is naturally a lie, and Yan Chengjin can't help but be wary.

Among the Eight Tigers, the most shrewd person is Liu Jin, followed by Gao Feng.

Zhang Yong was used by Li Dongyang and others to bring down Liu Jin because he was stupid, so his fame was ranked second to Liu Jin.

Gao Feng's IQ, when he went, he was alone, and when he came back with a boatload of people, it can be seen that he knows that unity is strength.

"I heard that your ship has hit the rocks?"

"The slave has a thing that can be waterproofed." Gao Feng hurriedly ordered someone to carry down eight large barrels and open one of them: "The slave maid is using this thing to repair the hole of the ship." ”

This is...... Bitumen?

Yan Chengjin looked at the black vat, which was well sealed.

There is a natural asphalt lake in the Americas.

Gao Feng took a ship to the Americas?

Yan Chengjin thought for a long time before asking, "Where did you come from?" ”

"The slave maid was going north, but isn't the Tatar place unsafe? The slave and the maid changed directions with Qiu Ju, went to sea, and when they reached the easternmost side, they found a large lake, which was full of mud, so they made more than a dozen barrels to replenish the boat. ”

Gao Feng looked at Yan Chengjiao cautiously, and said with a smile: "The slave is the first to come back, right?" ”

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "Liu Jin has been back a long time ago, twice." ”

Gao Feng's face stiffened.

It was Liu Jin's dead eunuch, even in the East Palace, Liu Jin had to call him Brother Feng.

The smile on Gao Feng's face did not decrease, and he said, "When will Lord Yan bring the slave maid into the palace to see His Highness?" The current identity of the slave and maid, I am afraid that she will not be able to enter the palace. ”

The eyes of Coco Dong and the others focused on Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin had already noticed a few people beside Gao Feng.

Especially the two people in front of them, who are similar in age to Li Dongyang, have a handsome face, look white and clean, and have a black and shiny beard.

The experience imparted by Wang Shouren Gewu can be seen at a glance that it is not a subordinate.

It's not like a sailor, but like a minister who is an official in the court, and Han Wen and others feel like they are wearing Confucian clothes.

"When did the official say that he wanted to take you to see the prince?"

"This ......" Gao Feng was speechless.

Yan Chengjin, the dog official, wanted to kill him, but he smiled bitterly and didn't dare to refute.

If you can't get the protection of the prince, returning to the palace is looking for death.

Yan Chengjin sat in the sedan chair, but found that the pedestrian was following behind.

It's understandable to be on the same road, but when you follow the yamen, it's suspicious.

"Who is outside the yamen?"

Soon, the official ran back and said, "It's an envoy from Ryukyu who said he wanted to see Lord Yan." ”

Although there is no clear time for the Ming tribute, it is usually chosen after October, and it is only June now.

After thinking about it, Yan Chengjin decided to meet him.

After a short time, the official came in with two people, and the two stood in the hall, bowing slightly to the person wearing a human cage on the ya's case.

Dong Wen respectfully said: "The lower official is Dong Wen, the main doctor of the Ryukyus, and I also ask Lord Yan to beg the Ming Emperor and allow the lower official to face the saint." ”

Emperor Hongzhi didn't just want to see him, nor did he pay tribute.

It is usually handled by the Ministry of Rites and Hongroji Temple, and in a small sesame country like Ryukyu, you can leave after paying tribute.

Came to Daming so eagerly to see His Majesty, Yan Chengjin was a little curious: "What are you doing when you see Your Majesty?" ”

Coco Dong glanced at another old Confucian student.

The old Confucian shook Yan Chengjin slightly: "The Ming Dynasty can borrow troops from Korea to attack the Jurchens, and also ask the Ming Dynasty to borrow troops from the Ryukyus to attack Satsuma." ”

According to historical records, it was the time for King Shangzhen of Zhongshan to prepare his troops to attack Kume Island.

In later generations, many people misunderstood Ryukyu and thought that Ryukyu was the Basho Island where the chicken coop was located.

In fact, Basho Island is only one of the islands of the Ryukyus, and there are many other small countries such as Kume Island and Satsuma Province.

Among the small countries of the stream, one is the so-called Ryukyu and the other is the Satsuma country.

Yan Chengjin vaguely remembered that Ryukyu was destroyed by the Satsuma Domain.

The Satsuma Domain was renamed after the island invaded Satsuma Province during the Muromachi Shogunate period.

With the help of the Ming Dynasty's forces, the Ryukyus could confront the Satsuma Kingdom.

However, without the summons of the Ming Emperor, they would not even be able to see the face of the emperor, let alone ask His Majesty to borrow troops.

However, with His Majesty's temperament of saving money, he will not borrow troops.

Although Coco Dong didn't say it, Yan Chengjin already had insight into the overall situation with the historical materials he knew.

"How did you know the name of this official?"

This is what Yan Chengjin cares about the most.

An envoy on Basho Island knew his name.

It's scary to think about!

Dong Wen bowed slightly: "It's what Gonggong Gao said, along the way, the lower officials learned a lot of news about the Lord and the prince from Gonggong Gao. ”

Gao Feng has been expelled from the palace, lost his previous power, and returned him a big ship in the Ryukyus, and a lot of extravagance, this revenge is naturally to be avenged!

Zhang Xian sighed secretly, Gao Feng's life was not long.

Yan Chengjin frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Xian on the side: "Gao Feng hired a boat to go to sea without permission, violated the Daming sea ban, and entered the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the official personally asked and beheaded." ”

Zhang Xian's face stiffened, and he whispered to Yan Chengjin: "My lord, there is no such thing in the Ming Law. ”

If you violate the sea ban, you can be fined silver, but you will not kill anyone.

"I'll write it in a moment."

Suddenly, Coco Dong had an unusually nervous feeling,

Who knew that Yan Chengjin cast a vigilant gaze again: "You fornicated with Gao Feng to open the sea, and you were also imprisoned, and you will be dealt with at a later date." ”

"Your Excellency, you must not imprison me and ......"

Kill a Ryukyu envoy, and the court will condemn you.

But now collusion with Gao Feng to open the sea ban is completely different.

Yan Chengjin didn't care.

The officials dragged the people down and put them in prison.

In the dead of night, the prisoners in the prison fell asleep in a daze, and there was no curfew in the good town, and it was very noisy.

Dong Wen bowed to the old Confucian and said respectfully: "Yan Chengjin dared to detain the king, told the Ming Emperor, and beheaded him." ”

The old Confucian sat on a straw mat, and he was the most energetic king in the history of the Ryukyus.

"This king has determined the tax system, administrative division, and recovering the lost territory, which can be compared with the Ming Emperor, a difference of 108,000 miles."

The king was not allowed to leave Shuri Castle, but the Ming Dynasty suddenly became stronger, and he wanted to come and see for himself how Emperor Hongji ruled the country.

He is not worried about the current situation, and with his wisdom, he will not be trapped here for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Chengjin was in the yatang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Gao Feng was at the bottom: "Draw the navigation map." ”

"Let the slave and maid see His Highness, and the slave and maid will draw."
