The left prime minister Li Shanchang asked for sick leave, the right prime minister Xu Da was in Beiping, and the head of Zhongshu Province was Zuo Cheng Wang Guangyang. Since Lao Zhu crossed the river in Taiping, Wang Guangyang has been following Lao Zhu to fight the world, and he also served as a staff member of the Senate under the Changyu Spring Tent.

Wang Guangyang is not only a good hand at dealing with practice, but also a good hand of poetry, the biggest shortcoming is greedy for cups, this bad habit is very likely to be learned from Chang Yuchun, or it is possible to imitate Li Bai, who has hundreds of poems about fighting wine.

Wang Guangyang is elegant and graceful, and there is no lack of prime minister's demeanor in the temple, and when it comes to government affairs, he talks eloquently and clearly, and his ideas are clear and clear, and he also quotes scriptures and classics with gorgeous rhetoric, and from time to time he also shoots two sentences of Lao Zhu's sycophants, which is worthy of being a Jinshi of the Yuan Dynasty.

After he finished speaking, Lao Zhu began to ask about politics, and Ma Du obviously felt that Baiguan was obviously nervous, as if he was a student waiting for the teacher to check his homework.

It is certain that Mr. Zhu is a good teacher in charge, not only checking yesterday's homework, the homework of the day before yesterday, but also the homework assigned the year before last, asking about the progress of everything, ruling according to the feedback of the officials, and then assigning new homework, there is no one in each class who is not named.

What a good teacher, Lao Zhu may have chosen the wrong profession, maybe he should have the same dream as Ma Du.

As for Ma Du, I just want to say that it is really fucking not easy to be an official of Lao Zhu, especially a Beijing official above the fourth grade, it is impossible to make a foolish life. For those who did not do a good job, Lao Zhu would reprimand mercilessly, and punish them lightly and demote them at worst, which seems to be just the norm in the court.

Seeing that the sun was rising, Lao Zhu said: "Zhuqing has something to do and leave early, and there is nothing to retreat!" ”

Ma Du came out of class again, "Weichen has a book!" ”

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "I forgot about you, just talk about something, Yuansheng will bring me a cup of tea." He leaned back in his chair and cocked his legs, as if he was going to listen to a story or a joke, so that Madu didn't know whether to open his mouth or not.

Lao Zhu said impatiently: "You should say quickly, I have to go back to the palace after breakfast." ”

Ma Du arched his hand and said: "Wechen heard that there have been Japanese invaders in Shandong recently, I don't know if it's true. ”

Lao Zhu said angrily: "On the eighth day of the first month of March, the Japanese invaders killed more than 1,000 people in Shandong and plundered hundreds of women, plundering countless grains, gold and silver, didn't you read the imperial court's mansion newspaper?" ”

He slapped the armrests over and over again, obviously annoyed by this.

"It is precisely because I saw the imperial court's report that Weichen came to the court today, and I am willing to ask the emperor to let Weichen be responsible for the suppression of the widows!"

Lao Zhu's eyebrows furrowed, "How?" Have you robbed the Wokos of your goods? ”

Ma Du has always been lazy, and when he saw the errand, he couldn't wait to hide, and suddenly took the initiative to ask for help, and Lao Zhu couldn't help but suspect that Ma Du had other intentions.

was questioned by Lao Zhu so much, Ma Du was also very helpless, he hurriedly explained: "No, Weichen saw that the people of Shandong were robbed by the Japanese robbers, and he was full of resentment in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask for help." ”

Basically, all the affairs of maritime trade are handled by Shen Wansan, and his merchant ships are indeed rarely plundered by the Japanese invaders, Ma Du is sure that Shen Wansan has paid protection money to the Japanese invaders, which can be seen from the uneven accounts, but the number is not much.

Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "The Shandong Command Department has already sent troops to drive away the Japanese Kou, and I heard that they have killed a lot!" ”

Lao Zhu nodded and said: "That's right, you're late, it's really rare that you still have this sentiment to be able to care about the suffering of my Ming people." ”

Looking at Lao Zhu's appearance, it seems that he doesn't take the Japanese in his eyes at all. This is also normal, since the old Zhu Jianguo, this is the first time that the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty, and it is not even a disease of scabies.

"The emperor underestimated the Japanese invaders, they are now repulsed, maybe it won't be long before they will make a comeback, harassing the coastal areas and invading the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after all, it will become a hundred years of trouble for the Ming Dynasty, especially the danger of Mengyuan, the emperor must not be neglected."

As soon as these words came out, there was a chuckle among the hundred officials, and Lao Zhu sat on the dragon chair and was silent. Zhu Liangzu couldn't wait to taunt Ma Du, "It's a shame that Ma Hou has also conquered the grassland, and a few thousand miscellaneous soldiers will scare you like this, I think it's better for you to go back to the academy to teach, and don't talk too much about military affairs!" ”

Chang Yuchun immediately choked: "Zhu Liangzu, although Ma Du is weak, his achievements are not less than yours, he knows best with his father's conquest of the grassland, not to mention that he is the prince canonized by the emperor, how can he say that the military state is not enough!" ”

After choking Zhu Liangzu, Lao Chang said to Ma Du in a harmonious voice: "Xuanzhong, although the Japanese are hateful, you do make a little fuss, but thousands of rabble, as long as they dare to go ashore, I can wipe them out with a few hundred guards without the imperial army!" ”

Hu Weiyong, who was on the other side, also stood up and said: "Ma Hou, as far as I know, the Japanese country is just a small barbarian country on a small island, and it is not worth it to my Huanghuang Daming. ”

Then a few civil officials jumped out to scold Ma Du, listening to their words, they didn't mean to look down on Ma Du, but they were full of disdain for the Japanese and the Japanese Kou, and after speaking, they also patted Lao Zhu's ass by the way.

Lao Zhu on the dragon chair was impatient when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "It's not too early, this matter will be discussed later, Xuanzhong will go to the harem to see the queen." ”

He was about to get up when he saw a eunuch outside the door and announced, "There is a military situation outside the palace!" ”

"Xuan!"

Then I saw a man in a blue official uniform enter the hall, bowed and said: "Wu Youren of the military department Langzhong visited our emperor, and he rashly admonished that there was really an urgent military situation, and I asked the emperor for forgiveness!" ”

Lao Zhu asked, "Where is the military situation?" Yunnan's? ”

"It's not."

"Then hurry up!"

"Last night, the Weichen Duty Department received a military information from the Tongzhou Guard, and on March 18, the third year of Hongwu, hundreds of Japanese invaders landed in Tongzhou, burned, killed and looted. Who knew that there was more and more news of the landing and plundering of the Japanese invaders, and just now we have received many military reports from Taicang, Songjiang, Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places......"

Old Zhu Qingjian stood up violently, "I'll wipe it!" ”

The court meeting ended in a hurry, Lao Zhu asked the hundred officials to retreat and only left a few henchmen, and when the guards closed the palace door, he patted the handrail and said to Ma Du: "Tell me quickly, how do you know that the Japanese will come to the border!" ”

"Weichen doesn't know, guess! You don't suspect me of colluding with the Japanese Invaders. ”

"That's not it, it seems that it is not a simple errand to kill the widows at the moment, you have never been profitable and can't afford to be early, what are you trying to tell me honestly?"

"Nothing!" Ma Du rolled up his sleeves and sighed: "I don't want to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping is flat!" ”
