In the Ministry of Rites, in the same hall, Zheng Weiyi, the envoy of Annan, was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.

It has been several days since he came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and although the officials of the Ming Dynasty treated him well, when it came to the issue of sending troops to quell the rebellion, all the people who came into contact with him were concerned about him and did not accept his stubble at all.

He also knew that this war required money, especially the expedition to Annan was very costly for the Ming Dynasty, and it was very likely that the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to send troops because he "didn't want" to pay the money.

Problem, he must ask Daming to send troops, because Mo Dengyong is more ruthless to the Annan Zheng family than to the Houli royal family, and if the Ming Dynasty does not send troops to take care of this chaotic minister and thief, the Annan Zheng family will be destroyed by the surname Mo!

The officials of the Ming Dynasty may only know about the Mo family's rebellion and usurpation of the throne but do not know the contradiction between the Mo family and the Zheng family, you must know that Mo Dengyong was born as a fisherman, and their Zheng family is the most prominent official family in Annan, and they represent the interests of different classes.

Although Mo Dengyong boasted that he was the seventh grandson of Mo Tingzhi, the champion of the Chen Dynasty in Annan, it was just far-fetched, this guy was actually a fisherman, and he became a guard and entered the officialdom by virtue of martial arts.

But this guy is also really good, with superb martial arts and outstanding strategy, this guy gradually showed his prominence in the troubled times of Annam, all the way from Suwei to commander, commander envoy, Wu Chuanbo, Taifu, Renguo Gong.

In the process of Mo Dengyong's rise, the Zheng family is making things difficult and obstructing in every way, and completely offended this guy, so this guy simply hates the Zheng family to the core, and has the posture of killing the Zheng family.

The Houli royal family can still be placed under house arrest as puppets, but the Zheng family must be killed, which Mo Dengyong said himself.

Therefore, the Zheng clan of Annan has repeatedly taken the initiative to contribute, organize missions, and come to the Ming Dynasty for help, in fact, their main purpose is to get rid of Mo Dengyong, as for the royal family of the Hou Li Dynasty, they Zheng Shi do not take it seriously, you must know that his cousins Zheng Weiyan and Zheng Weidai have killed Emperor Xiangyi and Emperor Shao of the Hou Li Dynasty one after another, and the Hou Li royal family is just a puppet in their eyes.

To put it bluntly, Zheng led an envoy to Daming to ask for help entirely for their own sake, so Zheng Weiyi was quite proactive, and he even brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, wanting to bribe the officials of the Ming Rite Department, asking them for help, and persuading His Majesty the Ming Emperor to send troops to Annan to quell the rebellion.

It's a pity that at this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Zhang Bangqi, a big man in the Yangming lineage, a typical Qingliu, and even the officials under him are relatively incorruptible.

What are you kidding, I accepted such a little gold, silver and jewelry from you and then persuaded the emperor to spend millions of taels to help you quell the rebellion, dreaming!

On this day, just as he was pacing back and forth in the room, a small official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly ran in and said to him with a smile: "I heard that your envoy wants to ask for help to persuade the emperor to send troops to help you quell the rebellion, but I don't know if there is such a thing." ”

The official uniform of the Hou Li Dynasty is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Weiyi knows as soon as he looks at this guy's outfit that this is at most a small official of eight or nine grades.

Although he is in a hurry, he will not be in a hurry to go to the doctor, let alone persuade the Ming Emperor, whether he can see the emperor is not easy to say, are you an idiot?

Of course, he didn't dare to be too arrogant on other people's territory, so he could only pretend to be confused and said: "Yes, can Shangguan help and persuade His Majesty the Emperor to send troops?" If it really happens, the lower officials will definitely be rewarded. ”

He thinks that this guy is here to fight the autumn wind, so he simply gave people a big problem and wanted to cheat money, okay, you go and persuade your Emperor Majesty, if you can persuade your Emperor Majesty to send troops, I will give money!

Unexpectedly, the little official smiled awkwardly: "Your envoy is joking, I am also a nameless little official, how can I persuade the emperor." ”

Hmph, let's show the stuffing, why can't I persuade you to come here?

Zheng Weiyi still pretended to be confused and said, "What does Shangguan mean?" ”

The little official still smiled and said, "I don't know if your envoy has ever heard of Lord Yan Songyan." ”

Yan Song, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet university clerks' department, didn't know anyone, Zheng Weiyi was curious: "Of course Lord Yan knows that the lower officials know that the lower officials mean to let the lower officials see Lord Yan?" ”

The little official shook his head mysteriously and smiled: "You can't say that, it is against the law to meet the envoy of the vassal kingdom privately, how could Lord Yan receive you in person." ”

I can't see you talking to a fart!

Zheng Weiyi suppressed his anger and tactfully mocked: "Since you can't see Lord Yan, why did Shangguan mention Lord Yan to Xiaguan?" ”

The little official still smiled and said: "It is impossible for Lord Yan to meet you in person, but Lord Yan's son-in-law can talk to you in person, you can go and inquire, but anyone who wants to find Lord Yan to do something is basically in contact with Lord Yan's son-in-law." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Zheng Weiyi couldn't help but say excitedly when he heard this: "Shangguan means that you can arrange for Xiaguan to meet with Lord Yan's son?" ”

The little official smiled proudly: "That's nature." ”

When Zheng Weiyi heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Really! ”

If this guy didn't lie, then there was hope this time.

Annan not only has the same official uniform as the Ming Dynasty, but even the structure of the entire imperial court is similar to the Ming Dynasty, he is quite aware of the power of the cabinet scholars and the official department scholars, if this Lord Yan is willing to help, His Majesty the Ming Emperor will be persuaded by him nine times out of ten!

Anyway, why did Yan Shifan take the initiative to find someone to contact the envoy of Annan, could it be that he was just trying to blackmail people and get some money?

Of course not, Yan Shifan came to the envoy of Annan on the order of Yan Song.

The envoy of Annan wanted Daming to send troops to quell the rebellion, Yan Song and Xia Yan also wanted to persuade Jiajing to send troops, of course, their purpose was not to help Annan to quell the rebellion, but to take Yang Cong away.

The problem is that it is not beneficial to send troops to help Annan to quell the rebellion, how can Jiajing transfer Yang Cong to quell the rebellion, the suppression of pirates and pirates is related to the safety of the entire southeast of the Ming Dynasty, at this time Yang Cong is still raising his own respect, Jiajing doesn't know that the pirates and pirates in the southeast have been almost eliminated by him.

If Jiajing is allowed to choose, he will definitely let Yang Cong continue to stay in the southeast to clean up pirates and pirates, as for the Annan Rebellion, it is after all their own business, what if Mo Dengyong usurped the throne, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, at most, it will make other vassal states think that the Ming Dynasty can't control his little brother, which is a bit of a loss of face.

This face is still very clear from Lizi Jiajing, and it is impossible for him to ignore the safety of the entire southeast for the sake of a little face.

Xia Yan and Yan Song were very clear about this, so Yan Song designed to ask the envoy of Annan to go to his son Yan Shifan to "ask for help".

Zheng Weiyi didn't know that he had become a pawn in Yan Song's hands, he only thought that he was the one who controlled the entire chessboard.

What about the Ming Emperor, it's not that they want to be used by their Annan Zheng clan, and what about the scholars of the Ming Cabinet, it's not something that can be bought with money!
