When Ichiro Tanaka saw it, he immediately turned sideways and bowed, "Daisho." ”

This woman is very enchanting, she is intoxicating when she walks around, her figure is delicate, graceful and charming, with a fragrant wind that makes people's blood gush, she came to Ichiro Tanaka to sit down on the side, and poured herself a cup of tea.

The two samurai who had reported to Ichiro Tanaka bowed down and quietly retreated.

The woman in red took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Ichiro, how are things going?" ”

Ichiro Tanaka kept bowing, his eyes flashed with lust, and said: "Daisesho, Akito has already taken the set, I believe that for the sake of this mine, Akito will put enough pressure on the Tokugawa family, and Shiro Toshisada will have enough time to deal with it, and the battle of Shimabara will not end so early." ”

The woman drank tea elegantly, put down the teacup, and said for a while: "The Ming people have annexed the surrounding areas, and they are eyeing our Japanese country, and the shogunate is worried about this, and wants to solve the island of Kyukoku as soon as possible, and then they will attack us." ”

The woman speaks very slowly, giving people a sense of calmness and confidence that she has seen through everything.

Ichiro Tanaka knelt there, leaned over, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "Then, will Akito be fooled?" Will they immediately intervene in the Shimabara Rebellion and force the shogunate to stop? ”

The woman took out a mirror from behind her, put it on the table, looked at herself in the mirror, stroked her hair gently, and said: "The Akito regards you as a lobbyist of the shogunate, knowing that you are making plans, you will definitely be annoyed and angry, whether they send troops directly or support Shiro Shizhen, it is a great pressure on the shogunate." When the time comes, we will be able to catch our breath and maybe give the Tokugawa family a surprise blow. ”

There are many feudal states in the Wa Kingdom now, and there are many families in the feudal country, and various forces are intertwined, and the situation is quite complicated, and Tokugawa Iemitsu is also able to stabilize the Wa Kingdom, although his control is stronger than Tokugawa Ieyasu, but there are still many people with ill intentions, and it is difficult to eradicate it for a while.

Ichiro Tanaka lowered his head, looked at the woman's plump thighs, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then said, "Yes." I plan to meet that Fu Tao again tomorrow and give him 200,000 silver to make him feel the eagerness of the shogunate. ”

The woman glanced at him and said, "There's no need, we have to leave quickly, the people of the shogunate, presumably they are almost there, we can't meet them." ”

Ichiro Tanaka was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Daisho, then what we did before will not be exposed?" ”

The woman put away the mirror, looked at Ichiro Tanaka and said, "No, whoever comes, they will act according to our plan, and if it is exposed, it will not benefit the shogunate at all, and it will anger Akito." ”

Ichiro Tanaka frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I understand." If it is exposed, the Akito will think that the shogunate is not sincere, and in anger, he may do something more drastic, which is very bad for the shogunate. ”

The woman looked at Ichiro Tanaka, and a charming smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said, "Ichiro, we should be closer." ”

Ichiro Tanaka suddenly withdrew his gaze searching on the woman's lap, lowered his head, and said, "Yes, mother." ”

The woman's smile vanished, she got up, and went back to her room again.

Ichiro Tanaka looked at her back, there was no obscenity, but solemnity, vigilance and fear.

Daming is too big, there are too many places where the sun can't shine, and I don't know how many unspeakable things happen every day.

However, this year, the sun of Daming was so strong that no one could hide.

It's too hot, it's a little too hot. Even if you just stand on the road, you can feel as if your feet are about to burn, scorching, and your whole body is beside the fire, and your lungs are hot when you breathe hot.

Zhu Xu was in the class room of the cabinet hall, his head, body, and palms were sweaty, and he was still looking at the notebook.

Not far in front of him, there was a woman with a pretty appearance and a somewhat cold expression, Su Yinyin.

After a while, Zhu Xu took a breath, put down the notebook, looked at Su Yinyin and said with a smile, "Have you seen it?" ”

Su Yinyin looked at Zhu Xu, bowed, and said, "Yes, General Cao hopes that this time he will fight against the Japanese State, and the United Fleet will be the main force, and he wants to take the opportunity to test the combat power of the Combined Fleet." ”

Zhu Xu looked at Su Yinyin with a somewhat strange expression. It's a very fun love between men and women, why do you look like you're doing business?

Immediately, he thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's a good idea. It is not the time to solve the problem, I just want to put enough pressure on the Japanese to force them to continue internal friction. Later, I will order someone to pass on the decree and let Cao Bianjiao lead the fleet north and enter Weihaiwei. It's almost time to calculate, and your business should be completed as soon as possible, and it can't be delayed. ”

Su Yinyin didn't have the slightest hint of indifference, but quietly pursed her lips.

Zhu Xu thinks that Su Yinyin is very interesting, and after marrying Cao Bianjiao in the future, I don't know what the scene will be, think about it, I am really a little curious.

Zhu Xu smiled with a smile in his eyes, and said, "This trip, your credit is not small, but you can't be rewarded, in this way, you will be promoted to the captain of the forbidden army, and the guards of the inner court will be handed over to you, and you can also train some female soldiers. ”

Su Yinyin's expression was different, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Her voice was crisp, and if she didn't look at it, she would think it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Waiting for Su Yinyin to leave, Zhu Xu picked up the notebook while thinking about Su Yinyin's words.

Although the Combined Fleet is an outward-looking, similar to the coast guard, a low-intensity navy, it is already a powerful regular army compared to the Japanese state, after all, they do not have a navy, and the ships are mostly small planks, and there are not enough artillery, whether it is at sea or on the shore, they can only be passively beaten.

The Combined Fleet has the ability to blockade the Kanmon Strait, cut off the connection between Honshu Island and Kyukoku Island, and make the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate on Kyukoku Island a lone army!

"It's okay, I also want to weigh the true strength of the Wakoku and the attitude of Tokugawa Iemitsu." Zhu Xu muttered softly. As for the actual capabilities of the combined fleet, Zhu Xu is not very worried, and there is still a lot of time to exercise.

Zhu Xu had just picked up the notebook at hand, when Cao Huachun hurriedly came in, handed over a secret letter, and said, "Your Majesty, the secret letter of the Shenlong Mansion." ”

"Bumu Butai's?" Zhu Xu said casually while taking it.

Cao Huachun's face was condensed, and he said, "It's Jinyiwei." ”

Zhu Xu looked at his expression, spread out the small note, looked at it, and then his face was stunned, and his expression was a little inexplicable.

This secret letter said that there was a group of Japanese people in the Shenlong Mansion, and after investigation, they were Tokugawa Iemitsu's envoys, holding the secret letter in their hands, but they were not allowed to enter the capital, and they had been trying to find a way to leave the Shenlong Mansion.

If it was Tokugawa Iemitsu's envoy, what was it?

Zhu Xu's fingers habitually tapped on the tabletop, and gradually, the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile.

"Interesting."

Zhu Xu looked at this secret letter, and the more smiles on his face.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's expression, a little surprised, it stands to reason that he was calculated, shouldn't he be annoyed?

Zhu Xu put the secret letter on the table, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "This group of people should be the enemies of the Tokugawa shogunate, and it is really interesting to want to kill two birds with one stone...... Three days later, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites come forward and invite them to the post house, so that they can be entertained, and let the Jinyi guard watch secretly, and don't let them run away. ”

Cao Huachun has followed Zhu Xu for many years, and when he listened, he knew that this group of people was going to be unlucky, so he said quietly, "Yes." ”

Then, Zhu Xu said: "Let those Japanese people from Shenlong Mansion enter Beijing, I want to meet them in person." ”

Cao Huachun's eyes jumped unconsciously, and Zhu Xu personally went down, indicating that this game of chess is very big, and there are more unlucky people.

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded calmly.

Just about to leave, Zhu Xu suddenly said again, "By the way, when will the list of candidates for the imperial examination come out?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "The southern papers are expected to arrive in Beijing tomorrow and be read overnight, and the results will come out the day after tomorrow at the latest." The slave maid had already told Vice President Song that once there was a result, it would be sent to the cabinet hall immediately. ”

Zhu Xu nodded lightly and said, "I know." ”

This time, the imperial examination has too much to do, and Zhu Xu must also be careful to keep an eye on it.

Cao Huachun retreated silently, and as soon as he left, Liu Shimin came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau has come to report that they are developing new types of artillery and explosives, and the artillery will be lighter and the gunpowder will be more powerful, I wonder if the emperor has any time to take a look?" ”

Zhu Xu put down the notebook in his hand, shook his head and said, "I haven't been free lately, let the military department Shangshu go for a trip." By the way, I will invite King Ping into the palace later, and I will invite him to dinner. ”

"Yes." Liu Shimin said.
