Chapter 705: A Shining Day (Part II)

"Impeachment of Ben Hou?" Ma Du said disdainfully: "Ben Hou listened to what he had done that violated the law of the country. ”

"Humph! Jiang Ninghou broke the law without knowing it, but how ridiculous is it that he still misleads people in the academy? As Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, you innocently beat your colleagues in the yamen, and even beat the prime minister and the chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate without regard for the face of the imperial court......"

Before Ma Du could speak, Zhu Biao had already quit, and scolded Tu Jie: "Hu Weiyong's words were insulting to his mother that day, and Jiang Ninghou beat him lightly. ”

"Weichen lost his words, please calm His Highness's anger!" Tu Jie hurriedly changed his words, "The Marquis of Jiangning was arrogant and unscrupulous and beat the officials of the imperial court, and His Majesty has already punished him, but he killed the envoy of Fanbang without His Majesty. ”

"Ben Hou killed the envoys of Fanbang? When is the matter. "Mado himself is confused.

"Jiang Ninghou pretended not to know and thought that he could get rid of it? Your Majesty, the human identity card is outside the palace, please allow them to go to the palace to face the king. ”

"Hmm!" Lao Zhu nodded lightly.

Yuan Sheng instructed the eunuch to go outside the palace to receive people, and after about a cup of tea, he saw the eunuch bring a group of people to the palace, the appearance was black and filed, but the official robe was bright like a costume. When a group of people arrived in the hall, they cried and said: "Ruan Chuntang, the envoy of the Champa State, visited His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Ma Du snorted inside his nose, it turned out to be from the monkey country, no wonder Hei Bu was short and thin.

"I was originally an envoy to Zhancheng, I remember that in the second year of Hongwu, you came to Yingtian Dynasty to see it, and it has been many years since the future court saw you, when did the Marquis of Jiangning kill your envoy."

The envoy knelt on the ground and replied: "The foreign minister doesn't know who the Marquis of Jiangning is that Your Majesty is talking about, and this is the first time to meet the Ming Dynasty, and the second is to ask Your Majesty to be the master of our country and save my people from fire and water." ”

"How? Annan sent troops to you again? ”

The envoy of Champa cried: "Although Annan is strong, our country can still deal with it, but it is difficult to stop the heavenly soldiers and gods!" Since the fourth year of Hongwu, there are often heavenly soldiers from the sea in a huge boat, with a sharp artifact to break my city, let our country redeem the city with rice, often 100,000 stones, every time the rice is ripe, it will be concocted in the same way, and then the king of my city simply gave millions of dollars a year to be safe. ”

Belch...... It was very embarrassing, Ma Du couldn't say that he didn't know about it, the navy never asked the imperial court for military rations, and even handed over grain to the treasury. Naturally, the grain did not come from the tuntian, and it was strange that the navy people could farm the land, so it could only be looted.

Nanyang is located in a lively and lush vegetation, there are fruits ripe all year round, most of the Nanyang monkeys are still picking for a living, the state is also supported by sea trade, only Annam and Champa are really planted to establish the country, probably because it was occupied by the Central Plains, the agriculture of these two countries is relatively developed, especially located in the impact plain fertile field of the Champa city, the Champa rice to the later generations is also very famous, with the toes also guessed that the city is going to be unlucky, Ma Du just pretended not to know.

Lao Zhu sighed with surprise on his face, "There is such a thing?" Why didn't you come and tell me sooner! ”

I don't know if he is sorry for what he said, but last year he told Ma Du that the rice sent by the navy was delicious, and asked the navy to send more to the treasury. Ma Du's earlier set of evil rhetoric still had a great influence on Lao Zhu, he enjoyed the vanity brought by the coming of the vassal kingdom, and he didn't care about their life or death.

Tu Jie said: "The matter is here, Zhancheng Guocheng has sent envoys to the court many times, wanting to show His Majesty but the ship has gone to sea and never returned." ”

The envoy of the Champa State nodded again and again, "It is precisely that it was not until last year that the members of the mission escaped by chance, and I learned that they were all intercepted and killed by the Ming navy." Only then did the foreign minister disguise himself cross Annam by land to enter the Ming transit, and it was difficult to see His Majesty all the way. Although our country is a small state and a widow, we are also willing to support the emperor, but the poverty of the people is too heavy to have a million stones every year, and I ask Your Majesty to reduce it as appropriate. ”

Tu Jie sneered: "The envoy misunderstood, my Emperor Ming is rich and the people of the world are not calculated, how can he be greedy for the rice of poor and weak countries such as Tuer and send troops to plunder, but someone is greedy for money and profits, and uses the army to collect private wealth, not to mention hurting the hearts of the vassals, but also to deceive the saint and destroy His Majesty's reputation, his heart can be punished, please Your Majesty behead this thief to correct the law and discipline!" ”

Just like Ma Du pointed at Hu Weiyong just now, Tu Jie also pointed at Ma Du's nose and was arrogant.

"Weichen seconded!" Chen Ning, the imperial historian of the left capital, jumped out first to second, Hu Weiyong's other henchmen followed, and even a few nobles added fuel to the fire.

The sudden change in the form of the wind and clouds was reversed in an instant, from Hu Weiyong who had to be punished one by one just now, and now he has become the head of Ma Du. Ma Du laughed when he saw this, and Lao Zhu asked with a gloomy face: "Ma Du, what are you laughing at, is there something untrue about what they said." ”

"Huh...... Your Majesty does not know that although the city is small, it is a rare place, the land is fertile, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, the land is not smaller than the south of the Yangtze River at all, and the perennial hot rice can be harvested three times a year, and millions of stone grain is just a drop in the bucket for them. The small country of Zhancheng has come all the way to answer the heavens for small profits, and there is no sincerity, and His Majesty should raise troops to fight it! ”

Zhu Biao said: "Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Jiang Ning said is true, the wealth of Zhancheng is comparable to that of Jiangnan, and it is common for rice to be harvested in the ground before it has time to be harvested. Even though the navy collects millions of stone of grain from Zhancheng every year, none of them enter the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, except for keeping it for its own use, all the rest are handed over to the state treasury, some of it is sold as naval salaries, and most of the rest is used as Lu rice into the stomach of hundreds of officials. On the contrary, the Marquis of Jiang Ning is often punished by His Majesty, and these accounts are all managed by his sons, and they are clear. ”

Tang He laughed, "It is said that eating people with short mouths and soft hands is soft, but you are full of food and drink one by one, but you lift the table and scold the cook, and you are a scholar, so don't hurry back!" Speaking of Lu Mi, there are many nobles, which of you is not led by hundreds of thousands of stones every year, and the family usually follows the Ma family to drink soup and eat meat, and now he has to follow this bird Yushi to impeach Xuanzhong, and there is no righteousness at all, which is really a shame for our Huaixi people. ”

Lao Tang is afraid that he is still in the dark, and he doesn't know that this is a battle of life and death, who cares about the benefits of that star. The matter of occupying the city suddenly became a gang and everyone shared the spoils, so it was no longer good to accuse Ma Du, that Tu Jie seemed to be unwilling, "The navy bullying the vassal is a loss of national body, and the Marquis of Jiangning, as the naval governor, at least has the fault of not being strict with the emperor, if you don't give an explanation to the vassals, I am afraid that there will be no grand scene of all states coming to the dynasty in the future." ”

Deng Yu said with a smile: "Tu Yushi has never been in the army, so naturally he doesn't know what is going on in the army, how can the arrogant soldiers be so easy to manage, not to mention that the Marquis of Jiangning is stationed in Yingtian, and the things on the vast sea are beyond the reach of the whip."

What's more, it is not uncommon for the army to borrow some food from the vassal state outside the war, and as for whether the naval non-commissioned officers have killed the envoys of the occupation state, they cannot listen to their words.

Even if it is true, the military law of killing people is to deal with it, if such a small mistake will implicate the commander, then who will dare to lead troops in the future. ”

Who knew that Lao Zhu said: "Deng Yu, you don't have to excuse Ma Du anymore, he has always been lazy and lazy, and the navy has been contaminated with his bad habits. ”

Ma Du looked up at Lao Zhu suddenly, what do you mean by this, aren't we in a group, what kind of bullshit did the navy do, don't you know better than Lao Tzu?

Lao Zhu ignored Ma Du's surprised eyes, and said coldly: "Wang Guangyang ignored the imperial court decree to ransom the daughter of the criminal official, Ma Du's royal majesty was not strict and killed the envoys of the feudal kingdom, the two of them are not forgivable, Jinyiwei got rid of the two black gauze official uniforms, and took them into prison for strict trial!" ”

Airplanes......

Ma Du felt a buzzing in his head, and he couldn't hear anything clearly, but he saw Zhu Biao and the others kneeling on the ground as if they were interceding for themselves, and there was a person in his field of vision who was faintly shining with light.

It's not Lao Zhu, it's not the prince, it's not the new Duke Tang He, his name is Tu Jie, a small imperial history has fallen two nobles at once, and this record can be called brilliant. Ma Du didn't know that Tujie's glory didn't stop there, and soon he would make the Ming Dynasty shine with blood......
