(From today onwards, try to ensure three more every day, and I hope you can continue to support speechless.) The wordless WeChat public account has been opened, and you can pay attention to it: the silent sky. ）

In April, compared to the cold of spring in the north, which is still visible at this time, it is already sunny, and the weather is mild, and it even makes people feel like it is close to early summer.

One look a year.

It is also very appropriate to use this sentence to describe Wannian, at this time, Wannian Mansion, except for the red brick city wall is slightly new, this Wannian Mansion is no different from the city in the mainland, and even the prosperity is far more than many cities in the mainland, after all, now there are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians under the rule of Wannian Mansion, and all you see are paddy fields for more than ten miles out of the city, so a prosperous place, Jiangnan is just like that.

Gangnam is nothing more than that!

For Liu Heng, who has been here for more than half a year, every day when he enters the city, when he sits in the carriage and looks at the paddy fields outside the car, such a thought probably always pops up in his heart.

"Compared to the mainland, there is a sea here and it is more suitable for a safe ......"

When this thought came to mind, Liu Heng couldn't help laughing at himself.

"If today's trend is in my Daming, how can Daming be biased!"

Talking to himself like this, Liu Heng's eyes couldn't help but look towards the north, of course, what he was thinking about was not Huguang's hometown, but the Northern Expedition in the north.

He is a native of Jiangling, Huguang, a person in the year of Chongzhen, and the grandson of Liu Chuxian, Hong Chengchou's teacher when he was admitted to the Jinshi. Hong's expedition to Huguang, passing through Jiangling, once went to pay homage to Liu Chuxian's tomb, and at the same time invited Liu Heng to consult the shogunate, and to Hong Chengchou's invitation, Liu Heng said that he could not comply. Later, Li Ziyuan went to Huguang and took Wuchang, and after taking Wuchang, he also invited him to consult the shogunate, but he also refused.

At that time, in Liu Heng's view, although Li Ziyuan was a Ming general, he successively betrayed Zhu Chengren and Zhang Cangshui, who had the grace of knowing him, and his character can naturally be imagined. Last year, in the face of Yao Qisheng's invitation, instead of refusing, he happily went, because it was to deliver tribute to the Ming court. He has regarded himself as a remnant for many years, so naturally he will not refuse.

After crossing the ocean to ten thousand years, in addition to being surprised by the prosperity of ten thousand years, Liu Heng, like dozens of other fellow remnants, were left in the court by the emperor and appointed, and Liu Heng was appointed as the imperial history of the left capital to take charge of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Of course, in addition to such a thought in his heart, he also knew that it was not a long-term solution for the imperial court to be at peace with 10,000 years, especially now, when the success of the Northern Expedition was imminent, it was not a long-term solution for the emperor and the court to be at peace with 10,000 years.

"I have to think of a way, no matter what, I can't be as partial to ten thousand years as I am now!"

When Liu Heng was thinking like this in his heart, the carriage had already driven into Wannian City, and the carriages could be seen everywhere on the street, but there were no sedan chairs, and those carriages reminded him that these ten thousand years, although it was a peaceful place for the imperial court, was also under the rule of King Huai.

There were many unsatisfactory rules under the rule of King Huai, such as the "abolition of the sedan chair order". Not only are civil and military officials not allowed to ride in sedan chairs, but even marrying relatives are not allowed to use sedan chairs, but only cars. Because the sedan chair is more stable than the car, since the Southern Song Dynasty, officials at all levels have focused on sitting in the sedan chair and rarely taking the car.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the official also had various restrictions on the sedan car. In order to avoid laziness after the peace of the world, Emperor Gao once stipulated that the ministers of civil and military affairs must ride horses and are not allowed to ride sedan chairs. But after arriving in Jingtai, the restrictions on 100 officials taking sedan chairs were relaxed. Later, the sedan chair has completely become a means of transportation for officials at all levels, and horseback riders are very rare.

Officials are also accustomed to sitting in sedan chairs. After the abolition of the sedan chair in Jiangbei, civil and military officials can only take a carriage or a horse, even in ten thousand years, even the emperor can not take the "shoulder opinion" in the palace, and even in the eyes of Liu Heng and others, this is the proof of the Huai Wang's "domineering" - the emperor once ordered people to make a "shoulder opinion" in order to use it in the palace, but he was persuaded by the officials, and even said that the emperor's move "violated the ancestral system", and even said that the emperor's desire to take the "shoulder opinion" is equivalent to the death of the country.

It seems to make some sense to what he said, but Liu Heng didn't know that the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was an official recommended by King Huai, and he said that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was just an eagle dog under King Huai.

"Thanks to the Ming Dynasty, there are still loyal ministers!"

Daming still has loyal ministers!

Not only did Liu Heng think so, but so did Zhu Youlang, and he couldn't help but sigh when facing the twists and turns from the mainland.

Who are the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty?

Of course, it won't be King Huai, Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the military department in Jiangxi, Zheng Chenggong, the king of Fujian, and even the King of Jin are not a little bit worse.

People are most afraid of comparison, but Zhu Youlang has to compare, because among these "mainstays", Li Ziyuan is the most loyal to the court.

"But no, Your Majesty, in addition to the excerpts, the King of Chu also ordered people to pay tribute of 200,000 taels of silver, 100,000 stones of rice, as well as 30 internal officials and 200 palace maids."

As the emperor's confidant, Wang Kun spoke for Li Ziyuan, the king of Chu, on the side.

He was originally a eunuch in the palace of the capital division, as early as the Chongzhen period has been trusted by the emperor, and because of this, he will be sent to the place, and by chance, he was appointed by the Yongli Emperor and became the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch. Emperor Yongli ascended the throne in a hurry, and he cared very much about the emperor's prestige, he knew that he would have no general, and he would not be in phase, and the only thing that could prove that he was the emperor was the so-called prestige. "The poorer you are, the more you put on the score", this sentence is very appropriate for him.

In the past, it was true that it was a score, but since the 10,000 years of Bi'an, in addition to the former emperor's majesty, Zhu Youlang has slowly regained the feeling of being an emperor, which is not because the internal officials and palace maids in the palace call him the emperor, but because of the respect of the king of Chu.

From the first tribute from the king of Chu, the king of Chu is constantly paying tribute. Silver money, rice grain, and even internal officials, palace maids are countless, especially every time there are accompanying tribute envoys, those tribute envoys are all old people of the Ming Dynasty, although they are all old people of the Chongzhen Dynasty or Hongguang Dynasty, but when looking at them, Zhu Youlang will only feel very close, after all, they are officials in the Ming Dynasty, not the people of the King of Chu.

As for Wang Kun, the reason why he spoke for Li Ziyuan was not because Li Ziyuan was really a loyal minister, but because he could be a man, far more than the King of Jin and the King of Huai.

Eunuchs have loved money in ancient times, and Wang Kun also loves money, but he has accompanied the emperor to wander around all these years, and he has suffered so much and suffered so many crimes, not to mention making money, and he has not even had a good fortune, is it easy for him?

But the King of Huai is good, and the King of Jin is good, he doesn't know his hard work at all, and he has never given him any benefits. In contrast, the king of Chu still understands his hard work as an internal official, but the silver and things have never been less than his, so how can he not speak for the king of Chu.

"This excerpt of the King of Chu can be regarded as solving my problem!"

Clicking on the fold in his hand, Zhu Youlang said with a smile.

"From Zheng Zhilong's return, and then after he seized Hongmao City, he sent tribute envoys to pay tribute, how to deal with him, it made me have a headache, Wang Kun, tell me, those ministers, why don't you know to be considerate of me, what do they say Zheng Zhilong should be killed, but, can you kill him?"

When Zhu Youlang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Who is Zheng Zhilong? He is a traitor, everyone in the world knows it, but they don't want to think about it, whose father is Zheng Zhilong? He is the father of King Min and the father of Princess Huai. I'll kill him......"

The next words, Zhu Youlang didn't say, he even believed that even here he just had this idea, and it was estimated that he would let others kill him over there!

"But no, those people don't want to think about it, King Min and King Huai have made so many contributions to the court, even if they work too hard, it is enough to offset Zheng Zhilong's crimes, not to mention, how can this person be killed if the court wants to, if King Huai is angry, it may ......"

Wang Kun's words stopped, and it was enough to say this, of course, the emperor naturally understood this truth, and he didn't need to remind him, all he needed was to tell the emperor that the court was now controlled by "traitorous ministers".

And who is this traitor?

Who else could it be other than the unfamiliar King Huai?

With a sneer in his heart, Wang Kun stood beside the emperor with his waist bowed, and sighed again.

"In this world, that is, the King of Chu knows how to understand the emperor's difficulties, the emperor, look at it, not to mention the Min Domain, the Huai Domain, the Jin Domain, or Zhang Shangshu, they are all people who cherish feathers, and they all pretend to be deaf and dumb about how to deal with Zheng Zhilong, why are they like this? First, they are afraid of offending the Min and Huai domains, because they are the father of Min and Huai, who dares to kill their father's hatred? The second is that he is afraid of offending the people of the world, because Zheng Zhilong is a traitor, and if he intercedes for him, he will be scolded by the people of the world! ”

Wang Kun's words made Zhu Youlang nod thoughtfully, not to mention that Jin Fan and Zhang Huangyan have such scruples, and he also has such scruples, so he is also pretending to be deaf and dumb, although he is pretending to be deaf and dumb on his face, but in his heart he is more anxious than anyone else, he knows that Zheng Zhilong can't be killed, but he needs someone to stand up first to intercede for Zheng Zhilong.

But all the ministers in this court ignored the reality, and they all said there that Zheng Zhilong should be killed, and not killing it was not enough for the people to be angry!

Don't they know that they share the worries of the court?

Of course, they knew that Zheng Zhilong couldn't be killed, but they cherished their reputation, even if they knew so, they had to think about their reputation first!

These people, if this is not the case, how can Daming be such a field?

sighed so much in his heart, but Zhu Youlang felt that Li Ziyuan's sincerity came, and he even sighed.

"Everyone in this world says how treacherous and unrighteous Chu Fan is, you can look at it, this is loyal to the imperial court, but it is only Chu Fan!"
