In front of the yamen of the governor of Guangxi, more than a dozen idlers wore turbans crookedly, holding their arms and looking at the crowd kneeling in Yuanmen.

Dozens of old men, led by a pair of hands holding a document high, behind him dozens of old people, each with an incense burner on top of their heads, the green smoke curling in the incense burner was quickly torn to pieces in the breeze.

An idler asked his companion, "Third brother, what's going on?" ”

The idler, who was known as the third brother, pursed the corners of his mouth, "What's the matter?" These old people knelt here all morning, all Han Chinese in Annam, who were killed by the Ruan family, seized the fields and property, burned the houses, and knelt here at the governor's yamen, asking the governor to get justice for them. ”

"Annan? Isn't that Li Shoubei very powerful? The idler looked around and lowered his voice, "Many people have gone to him to reclaim the wasteland!" ”

"Alas! Li Shouhan is just a thousand households with the rank of garrison, and his subordinates are also small generals, this time, these old people came on Li Shouhan's boat. Moreover, I heard from the master of the governor's yamen that Li Shoubei also wrote an official document asking for troops, and he was willing to be the vanguard. ”

"Really?" The idler seemed a little unconvinced.

"Look! You still don't believe it! The third brother took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms with disdain, "I asked Xiucai to copy it from the master in charge of copywriting." He was very indignant and handed it to a yellow-skinned idler next to him, "Xiucai, read to these guys, look at our Ming masters!" ”

The idler, who was known as Xiucai, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and began to shake his head and read it.

"The title is Jiaozhi Ruan's disturbance of the situation, and the title is Jiaozhi Ruan's repeated offenses against the king's division, and it is a matter of appeasement for the border domain. On March 4 of the first year of the Apocalypse, he committed Guangping Town, killing 170 good people, plundering 150 young people, 54 women, plundering more than 100 cattle, and burning more than 70 houses. On May 5, the second year of the Apocalypse, he committed a crime in Shun'an Township, killed 47 good people, plundered 17 women, and left the house empty. In July of the second year of the Apocalypse, he re-offended the realm of the ministers, and obeyed the law with his ministers, but was not disturbed. This year, in its territory, more than 4,370 people of our Ming Dynasty were slaughtered, and more than 4,370 people of Tonghai were slaughtered. Abridged clouds.

The minister thought that the border of Annan was guarded by the ancestors, and the world was a minister, and he thought it was a waste. Yongle Jiaozhi disobeyed, and the army was greatly revitalized, and it lasted for many years. And the soldiers are afraid of the fierce plague, the people bear the pain of transfer, and the ancestors then use silk jade, stop fighting, Li people are blocked, and the reproduction is resting. The minister thought that it could be said that the local governor sent him to be responsible, and ordered the local magistrate to be on guard and serve to attack, so as to prestige tomorrow! The minister is not talented, the world is favored by the country, Yu Hejing selects and trains soldiers, accumulates grain and grass, and once the country raises troops, he is willing to sweep the hole for the front, plough the court, and sweep the hole, with the power of the sky! ”

When Xiucai read aloud the inscription written by Li Shouhan to the Yamen of Guangxi Governor in the official capacity of the garrison title of a thousand households, and forwarded it to the military department, a dark cloud drifted over, and the winter rain sprinkled down.

The ground under the knees of the old men was quickly wet by the rain and turned into mud, wetting the clothes on the old men's bodies, and wetting the turbans and buns on the heads of the old men.

The rain hit Liao Sanye's face and flowed down again, I don't know if it was rain or tears. He held the book of 10,000 words in his hand, which was written by tens of thousands of refugees, and he hoped that the high-ranking officials in this building with the banner of the Ming Dynasty could come out and take the book of 10,000 words in his hand, and then send Wang Shi to cross the sea and go down to the south to wipe out those demons and clowns in the south in one fell swoop!

Let them return to the homes they have cultivated for generations.

But the gate was always closed, and no one came out to receive them, not even the guards at the door ignored their existence.

From hopefulness to gradual disappointment, it now seems that there is only one step away from despair.

Soon, someone helped these dozens of old people led by Liao Sanye to complete this step.

Finally, in the blurred sight of the old people who were soaked in rain, the door of the governor's yamen, which had been closed for a whole day, was finally opened.

A man who looked like a master with two mouse's beards, walked out with square steps, and Shi Shiran walked out.

"Who is kneeling here?" He pulled a Shaoxing accent and played an official tone.

"Back to this master, it's a little old man."

Liao Sanye put down his unconscious arms and held the book of 10,000 words to his chest, as if he was a baby and the lives of countless people.

He handed the book of ten thousand words to Master Shaoxing very solemnly.

"Please Mr. Chen, I have tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and I am looking forward to the king."

The master was very disgusted and pushed the book away, as if it was the most filthy thing in the world, or a poisonous insect and beast, "My lord said, you are all abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, and you don't want to keep yourself in the country, but you go to a foreign land, you don't want to serve the country, but you cause trouble for the court!" It must be because you don't keep your duty in Annan that you have this disaster! ”

In a few words, colder than winter rain.

The third brother and the other idle men couldn't help but shout loudly, and the boos were endless, "Annan barbarian, how many years have you either entered the customs to loot the population and property, or killed our Han people in its territory, when have you seen the officials and soldiers in charge?!" ”

Liao Sanye, several old people from the Mai family and the Chen family, almost didn't know how they got to the inn.

When the old people were in the inn with tears in their eyes and at a loss, Li Peilin was in the palace of Shenglong and the so-called Li Emperor Zheng Wang of the Li family court was pushing the cup to exchange lamps.

When Li Peilin walked into the palace, he originally wanted to confess, "The minister of the kingdom, the king of a small country does not kneel", but when he walked into the gate of the Li palace with his head held high, the emperor of the Li family, Shenzong, and the so-called marshal of the Zheng family, Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, were waiting in front of the steps.

In front of Zheng Jie, the so-called Divine Sect is an ornament, Zheng Jie, Shi Shiran and Emperor Li stand side by side, not thinking that it is overstepping. Li Peilin knew that Zheng Jie was even exempted from the etiquette of entering the court and playing names.

"Humph! Another self-righteous guy! ”

"I don't know what your envoy is doing here?" Zheng Jie put down the wine glass in his hand and began to set Li Peilin's bottom.

"You glass monkey! Don't you know we're going to beat up your father-in-law?! Li Peilin secretly scolded in his heart that Zheng Jie's wife was the daughter of the Ruan family. But there is something else on the lips.

"A few days ago, the people of my Ming Dynasty were expelled and slaughtered by the rebels of the Ruan family south of the Lingjiang River, and my lord sent the lower officials to ask the noble capital for advice, can this fang be brought to justice?"

"The thieves in the south have plagued the place for a long time! Zheng also wants to get rid of this fang as soon as possible and do a great harm to the people! ”

"Oh?! Then today, the general of my family sent me to ask the envoy of the capital to give a clear attitude, how do you want to deal with the southern thieves? ”

Holding a wine glass, Li Peilin talked eloquently.

He knew very well in his heart that the reason why the Zheng family was able to treat him so politely was very clear: first, Wang Bao's troops were on strict guard on the Zheng family's borders, which put a lot of pressure on the Zheng family's army. Second, the Zheng family's meticulous work also heard the news that Ha Jing was going to take action against the Ruan family.

On the way into the palace, Li Peilin sneered and looked at the elite soldiers of the Zheng family, all of whom were from the so-called guards in the Qinghua area, holding funeral guns and desperate knives one by one, showing off their might there.

Holding the knives and guns that others have given him, showing off his might in front of the master, hehe, this is what these clowns can do.

In the final analysis, in diplomacy, it is still strength that decides a qiē. Let's ask, if the governor of Guangxi sent someone to question the Zheng family, would the Zheng family be so polite?

Zheng Jie snorted while looking at the Emperor Shenzong of the Li Dynasty beside him with sharp eyes.

Li Shenzong, who was sitting on the throne, was like a mud-tire idol, and unlike the mud-tire idol, he kept drinking and eating.

Li Peilin has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has read countless people, and his eyes can be regarded as knowledgeable. Under the cover of the power of wine, he looked around at the people in the hall, including the Li Clan Shenzong and Zheng Jie, who were sitting on the throne.

"All the soil chickens and tile dogs!" After looking around, Li Peilin picked up his wine glass very reassuringly, "Gentlemen! Please for my family's general birthday! ”

This is a completely provocative and blind move, no less than the Mianchi meeting, the king of Qin ordered the king of Zhao to drum.

The officials and nobles of the Zheng family present kept drinking without drinking, and their eyes were looking at Zheng Jie, hoping that he could make a decision. Several military attachés of the guards have already signaled their own soldiers, ready to drag Li Peilin out and behead him at any time!

When the atmosphere was awkward and tense, from the screen behind Shenzong, a beautiful woman's voice came out, "Shangguo official, how can you not know etiquette?!" Although I Annan is a small state, but the big tomorrow is the lord of a corner, please make your envoy first for the big tomorrow's birthday, and then for my Annan lord life, I wait for the people of the small state, naturally for General Li's birthday! ”

"Hmm!" The officials present all let out a long breath, and finally someone came forward!

From the beginning of the banquet to the present, Li Shenzong, who has always sat there like an idol and has nothing else to do except when chewing and drinking, finally opened Chrysostom.

"This is the little girl Muhua, who has admired the demeanor of the people of the country for a long time, so she peeps here. I don't want to disturb the wine of the noble envoy, come, the widow respects General Li! ”

"In the next place, I will definitely bring the commander to the general!" Li Peilin also refused to give an inch.

On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, after a few days of mutual deception and temptation, the two sides finally reached an agreement, doubling the trade quota between the two sides in the past, and as the side of Ha Jing, they would continue to provide military supplies such as knives, guns, and gunpowder to the Zheng family in the north.

Although neither side mentioned the affairs of the South, they both tacitly said, "You go and fight the rebellion of the South!" As long as you have the strength. ”

"I'm going to fight the Ruan family in the south, but you can't stab you in the back!"

After sending Li Peilin onto the ship, Zheng Jie also shed a few tears on the dock, looked at the distant sail shadow, and asked in a whisper in his ear, "Wang, do we really support them to fight the traitors in the south?" ”

Zheng Jie glanced at him, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and beckoned his henchmen to ride in the sedan chair together. In the eyes of his colleagues full of jealousy, his henchmen hurriedly got into the sedan chair.

"We fought with the thieves in the south, but unfortunately we didn't win, and now that the Ming people of Ha Jing are willing to fight, we naturally will not object. If they can break through the wall of the southern thieves and break into the heart of the thieves, that's a good thing; If not, the defeat of being killed by thieves is also good for us! ”

"King! You mean to drive the tiger and devour the wolf? Then there is the fight between the two tigers, and we are the fishermen who make profits? The southern rebels are defeated, we can attack Ha Tinh from behind, Ha Tranh is defeated, we can take advantage of the situation to go south and seize Ha Tinh. Moreover, after this battle, the southern rebels are bound to be greatly damaged, and we can just unify Annam! ”

Zheng Jie twisted his beard in the sedan chair, "Things are not as simple as you think, but I don't know." He lowered his head and pondered for a while, "In this way, tomorrow you go to do this, and give the 1,000 desperate knives and 1,200 mourning guns that Xin Yun from the treasury surnamed Li to the Ruan family in the south, and tell them that the war between us is a brotherly wall, but if Li Shouhan beats them, he will destroy his Ruan family." Let them take these knives and guns, and fight with Li Jiajun more lively, and more people will die. ”

Zheng Jie kept twisting the Buddha beads in his hand, and at the same time assigned tasks to his subordinates without changing his face.

"Also, order all the guards and generals to strengthen the guard of the palace to prevent traitors from entering the palace and plotting to kill the emperor."

"Yes! Your Majesty understands! Be sure to protect the emperor! The henchman nodded in agreement.

In the cabin, Li Peilin was also discussing with a group of people.

"My lord, we have conducted a preliminary survey and statistics of the topography, mountains, rivers, and agricultural land in the Thang Long area, and then we will arrange for people to make detailed measurements. We also investigated the velocity, flow, and depth of the rivers that you had specifically explained, and whether the bottom of the river was hard or muddy. For the future army to go north, do a good job of intelligence. ”

A man dressed in gray whispered to Li Peilin about the harvest of this trip.

"Li Muhua, who was talking at the banquet that day, how did her detailed investigation go?"

Li Peilin doesn't know why, every time he mentions this Li Muhua, he feels uncomfortable for no reason, as if this Li Muhua is his old enemy in his previous life, and he is wronged in this life.

The man in gray was a little flustered, took a step back and arched his hand, and said embarrassedly: "My lord, the information about this princess is incompetent, and I can't find a lot, please punish my lord." ”

Li Peilin's pupils contracted suddenly, but there was still only a faint "oh", and the gray-clothed man accompanied him carefully, and continued: "After the banquet, the lowly man sent someone to make some silver money to find out some news from the palace maids, but as soon as these palace maids heard that they were asking the princess for the news, the silver money that was tightly held in the palm of their hands was like taking a soldering iron, and they were busy returning it to their subordinates, and they refused to ask for it even if they died, and they didn't dare to say a word about the news. The man in gray paused, as if he was still a little frightened, "Later, he used some means, only to know from a guard that this princess is a powerful means, and she can kill and decide in the boudoir since she was a child, especially good at money and food criminal prosecution, two years ago, King Zheng sent the officials in charge of the supply of money and food in the palace, because of false reports, she found out when she reviewed the accounts, a piece of writing with King Zheng, it is said that the words are as sharp as the old official breaking out of prison, forcing King Zheng to have to personally supervise this person and kill him alive! A minister couldn't look at it, but he just said a word of intercession, and he was also whipped 20 times, and his flesh and blood were blurred! Since then, there is a rumor in the palace that 'King Zheng is counted outside the palace wall, and Sanniang is seen inside the palace wall.' ’！ "Thinking that the princess was only thirteen or fourteen years old two years ago, she had such a ruthless method, which really made people breathe a sigh of relief." The man in gray continued: "Later, the lowly sent someone to secretly approach the son of the princess's nurse, and became a friend of wine and meat, after a drunkenness, I listened to the man's drunken boasting every day, but I also found out a little, although this princess is not a concubine, but the most cunning and wise, several brothers were played by her to the ground as a horse to ride, a little older, not good for women, not good for riding and shooting, just reading, but also do not read the female Analects of the female biography and the like, read all the books of Lao Tzu Shang Jun Colony Biography of this kind of power and operation, and praise Lao Tzu how to do when he meets people. And often turned into a small servant, receiving messengers, no one saw it, and then simply on the banquet, King Li specially set up a screen for her, she sat behind it, folding the bottle to point out the characters, but also won a little fame. The man in gray finished speaking in one go, as if he was still reminiscing.

Li Peilin also nodded lightly, and said, "I have also heard that Emperor Li often sighs at the princess, saying that he is a little lady, if he is a gentleman, let him govern the country and make him lead the army, which is like now, alas!" Some people also said that fortunately, the princess is a daughter, if it is a man, I am afraid that she has already suffered an accident. I was still confused about this sentence at the beginning, but now, this princess is really a powerful character, you pass the order, step up the penetration of the princess, it is best to let our people lurk around the princess, at this critical time, you can't let the lord's great cause have any surprises! The man in gray bowed his head and sang, and slowly disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.

Let's give a Jianyì, do you let the pig's feet accept this princess of Annan? Isn't that too undisciplined?
