Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully before he said: "The minister only knows this, Your Majesty wants to ask, is there such a staple food in the West?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded hurriedly and said regretfully: "When Emperor Wen was in power, all countries came to the court, and there were no these staple grains in the tribute.

Let the people starve for a hundred years, it's a pity. ”

I couldn't help complaining in my heart that the eunuch of the Three Treasures came, such a good thing, I went seven times and didn't bring it back.

What a waste of the court's silver.

"Your Majesty, you can't blame the Three Treasure Eunuchs." Yan Chengjin showed a thoughtful look: "Potatoes and other things were also introduced to the Franco machine not long ago. ”

Even now, potatoes have not yet been introduced to Europe.

It's just to fool Your Majesty.

When Zheng He went to the West, corn was not introduced to Europe.

Therefore, Europe is not as rich as the Ming Dynasty, and there is an extreme shortage of food.

The European countries that Zheng He saw were not as prosperous as Sumatra and Manchuria.

Emperor Hongzhi said regretfully: "This Liu Jin is not allowed to go to the country of Franco, and he will not bring back the potatoes, so he is angry here, so he has to beat him fifty boards." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yan Chengjin said happily in his heart: "This Liu Jin is a talent, if he is not killed, why don't you let him go again?" ”

Outside the main hall,

Liu Jin was lying on the bench, I was never afraid when I was castrating, would I be afraid of this board?

He grinned, happy, and very disdainful.

As long as we survive this board, we are still the most powerful eunuchs in the East Palace.

"Liu Banban, what are you laughing at?"

"Why was His Highness dragged out too?" Liu Jin asked in surprise.

"Eat the board."

Zhu Houzhao lay on the stool sullenly, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the fight was over in the blink of an eye.

……

The duty room of the military department,

Qin Hong crossed Erlang's legs and flipped through the booklet passed back from Jiubian.

The most unstable is the three sides of the loop, where Tatars often come to attack, and it needs to be looked at.

And Xuanfu and Datong can be swept at a glance.

"When Baoguo Gong has built the Great Wall, the Hetao will be stable."

The reason why the Tatars did not invade Xuanfu was that in addition to being close to the capital, it was easy to provoke the Beijing army.

Another big reason is the Great Wall.

The route of the Tatars to the south was blocked, and the gap was guarded by the Ming army.

"Ministry, an urgent report from Songjiang Mansion."

The civilian officer of the military department hurriedly walked over.

Qin Hong's eyes condensed slightly, and he said a little nervously: "Is it good news?" ”

The civil servant looked panicked and did not dare to answer directly, but handed him the urgent report.

Qin Hong opened his eyes and looked at it, his heart was extremely cold, as if he was sitting on top of Bingjian.

As soon as Zuo Zongyi left the port of Songjiang Mansion, he was robbed of a big ship by the Japanese invaders.

I was looking for the seven big ships.

Now it's good, and I sent another one to the Japanese Kou.

"How do I report to Your Majesty?"

It is impossible to deceive His Majesty.

The prison army will also send the news back to the celebrant supervisor, and Xiao Jingding also received the news.

Qin Hong is like an ant crawling on dry firewood, being put on the fire by someone, and he can't get down if he wants to.

If it's an official appointed by His Majesty, then don't worry.

But Zuo Zongyi is the person he recommended.

"Quick, go to the Huagai Palace!"

Report to His Majesty one step earlier than Xiao Jing, although he will still be punished, but it will not be too severe.

Big deal, he personally took command to get the eight ships back.

Canopy Palace,

Xiao Jing didn't go back to the celebrant to drink a cup of tea, rest, and after seeing the rush from Songjiang Mansion, a mouthful of tea squirted out, and hurriedly came.

"Your Majesty, the rush of Songjiang Mansion!"

Emperor Hongzhi took the sparse music, took a quick look at it, his chest rose and fell slightly, and then he slammed his palm on the imperial case, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and they all jumped up.

"Another one was robbed! Do you want to find a ship for me, or do you want to send a ship?! ”

Xiao Jing knelt on the ground with a puff: "Slaves and maids are dead!" ”

"What's your business, don't take everything on you, ask Qin Hong to come to see me." Emperor Hongzhi said angrily: "Call the cabinet and the six ministries to come too." ”

"Your Majesty, the military department is here." Mu Bin came in to report.

Moments later,

Qin Hong strode into the main hall, and when he saw Xiao Jing, he knew that he was a step too late, and His Majesty must have seen the sparse music.

The military department is not good, and it is not as comfortable as the other five.

"Death to the minister! Your Majesty, please condemn you. ”

"What's the use of punishing you, I asked the military department to find a ship, and you guys are good, and I sent one." Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him: "Why don't you speak!" ”

"The minister himself is in command and goes to arrest these robbers." Qin Hong's heart tightened, and he waited for a long time without hearing His Majesty's response.

At this time, a dense sound of footsteps came, and Li Dongyang and the others walked into the hall quickly.

Liu Jian picked up the emergency report on the ground and looked shocked.

"The Japanese are cunning and cunning, and this time the military department is careless." Ma Wensheng said seriously.

Li Dongyang arched his hand slightly: "If you can get the news of the imperial court's transfer of troops to the sea, and deal with it in advance, Songjiang Mansion must have the internal response of the Japanese invaders, and this is the troublesome place." ”

It's really so easy to exterminate, and it won't drag on from Emperor Xiaozhang to the present.

Emperor Hongzhi's anger disappeared a little, Zuo Zongyi was still trapped in Songjiang Mansion, and Jin Shanwei was completely damaged.

This battle was fought so that I didn't even know how many people there were.

"Who else in the DPRK and China is up to the task?"

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and the others glanced at each other.

Zuo Zongyi is a first-class general in the court, and even he was defeated, so it's really hard to recommend.

The sailors and generals of the imperial court have always been weak.

"Otherwise, the minister himself will be in charge, right?" Ma Wensheng stepped forward.

You skinny little man, like a malnourished little old man.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't bear to hit him, and persuaded: "The imperial court still needs Ma Gong to be in charge, and anyone can go, but Ma Gong can't go." ”

Ma Wensheng smiled slightly and got great satisfaction.

Emperor Hongzhi walked a few steps in front of the palace, thought for a while, and said, "Go to Xuanyan Chengjin." ”

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bed and drawing cartoons, his farts were facing the sky, which did not prevent him from scribbling and drawing.

Liu Jin's crippled body was lying next to the royal couch and became an art director: "Your Highness, the slave maid thinks that it would be better for Dian Wei to paint Liu Jian." ”

Thinking of Master Liu's thin body and Dian Wei's burly body, Zhu Houzhao felt that this was a good idea, "Why?" ”

"Do you think, don't Lord Liu and Dian Wei have the same temper? The so-called painting is easy, but painting is difficult, Master Liu is the most suitable. Liu Jin smiled and flattered.

Zhu Houzhao was happy, clapped his hands and said: "You still pay more attention, except for Lao Gao, no one can compare to you, but it's a pity that Lao Gao, a dog thing, refuses to be a warrior in this palace, fortunately, there are still nerds in this palace, and there are many ideas for nerds." ”

As soon as Yan Chengjin walked into the main hall, he heard Zhu Houzhao scolding him.

I'm not human, but you can't scold me for being a dog.

I heard that few of the people who were beaten by fifty large boards of rods survived two days.

He came to confirm that Liu Jin would have a few days to live.

"Lord Yan is here, the slave has seen Lord Yan!" Liu Jin got up and knelt in front of him, full of life.

It seems that Liu Wentai's medical skills have improved.

Yan Chengjin thought about it and said: "Your Highness, why don't you give Liu Jin a word, how about calling Xiaoqiang?" ”

There are very few eunuchs in the palace who can have words, such as Xiao Jing, the word Kegong, which sounds like a respected old Confucian student.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "This word is pleasing to the ear, how did you come up with it, Lao Gao?" ”

Yan Chengjin wanted to give this title to Liu Jin from the bottom of his heart, and he had no other meaning.

Liu Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and knelt down to thank him.

"Your Highness is not injured on the thighs, what are you doing with such a big gauze?" Yan Chengjin asked.

Zhu Houzhao was full of interest: "You don't need to go to Zhan Shifu, the palace just lies on the bed for a few more days." ”

And so it was......

Yan Chengjin opened his comics, almost finished the first volume, and he was ready to publish the first volume.

Let Lao Wang Shufang engrave the painting on iron, and print it with iron characters, and the outline will be clearer than the wooden engraving.

At this time, Xiao Jing hurriedly rushed into the hall: "Lord Yan, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Huagai Palace." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The military department suffered a defeat and was robbed of a big ship."

Yan Chengjin was stunned for a moment, and lost another big ship by accident, I'm afraid, it's enough for the Japanese to form a fleet.
