Chapter 313: Yue Guogong doesn't do soulless things
Zheng Du was riding on a horse, his armor was shining, and he looked very heroic.
He asked for an order to go to Fuzhou to negotiate with Hou Xuanyan, others thought it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, but Zheng Du did not panic at all.
He is a smart person, and he also knows that Hou Xuanyan is also a smart person, and soon the story of his second son Zheng lobbying Hou Xuanyan will spread all over the world.
The city gate of Fuzhou slowly opened, and it was no longer the Zheng family's people who walked out of it, Zheng Du's hatred soared in his heart, but his face was still that high-spirited and confident look.
Shi Lang rode on a horse and came out of the city calmly, without the slightest guilt of seeing the old master again, and said with a smile: "Second Prince Zheng came from afar, and it was hard work. β
Since he is a fool, he is going to scold at this time, but fortunately, Zheng Du is not a fool who is happy and angry, he even bent down and said: "The lower official is a Ming military cavalry captain, and his official position is lower than that of the commander of the Fuzhou General Soldier and Naval Division, so Lord Shi does not have to be polite." β
Zheng Du's tone did not have the slightest irony, nor did he deliberately hide hatred, and betrayal was as common to pirates as eating and drinking. Zheng Du is the Zheng family that is the least like a pirate on the surface, but he is the most like a pirate in his bones.
Shi Lang knows this Zheng Du, but he still feels that his performance today is amazing enough, and among the sons of the Zheng family, he may be the most heroic.
"The second son is the son of Pingguo Gong, how can he greet him with regular courtesy, come and come, please come in quickly." Although Shi Lang was humble, he did not look humble at all, with a straight waist and a smile. He is now the direct opponent of the Zheng family, the admiral of the Fujian Navy. The imaginary enemy of the Fujian Navy Master is the Zheng family, who is about to make peace, and from the words of Yue Guogong, Shi Lang tasted it. The battle between the Fujian Navy Division and the Zheng clan was inevitable.
Zheng Du entered the city with a smile, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and it was said that Hou Xuanyan should personally greet him at this moment. Now the situation is very clear, for the time being, peace is more beneficial than disadvantageous to both sides, Hou Xuanyan is a hero, looking at his words and deeds does not look like a mediocre talent, how can he give up big things for the sake of the battle of will.
Shi Lang welcomed them to the city, only to see that the lobby was empty, Shi Lang diligently persuaded the guests: "The second son is not an outsider, please take a seat." β
Zheng Du chuckled in his heart, take a seat? This shows that Hou Xuanyan is no longer there, otherwise except for the half-year-old doll in the Forbidden City of Jinling, who would dare to take a seat in front of him.
Thinking of this, Zheng Du asked softly, "Guogong he?" β
Shi Lang laughed and said: "Yue Guogong has returned to Jinling, Ling Zun has read the letter to his old man, and Yue Guogong said: 'Ping Guogong was also deceived for a while, thinking of the merits of supporting the emperor in the past, he is willing to play like His Majesty, and the merits are offset by the merits. 'In the future, we will all be the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, as for instigating the villain and the culprit Li Chengdong, we will be in the local Lingchi. β
Hou Xuanyan hated Li Chengdong to the core, and he killed him in his dreams several times in his dreams to take revenge. But when he really caught Li Chengdong in his hands, he felt unhappy. He originally thought that he was extremely looking forward to seeing Li Chengdong being tortured with his own eyes, but when it came to the end, he realized that there would be no pleasure at all, but it would deepen the unbearable pictures in his memory. People are fragile, as strong as Hou Xuanyan, and they also have unbearable pain in his life. Every time I think of the severed arms and limbs in Jiading City, the headless corpse of my father in the bamboo forest, the babies flowing down the river in the river, the disheveled women with their hands and feet nailed to the wooden planks... The whole person will be dizzy, losing any calmness and reason, and now that he is in a high position and power, such a state is likely to make a mistake. Therefore, Hou Xuanyan did not choose to deal with his enemies with his own hands, he chose to let Li Chengdong be Ling Chi in Fujian. Although Ling Chi is cool, compared to what he did, it is not an exaggeration at all. Li Chengdong's three massacres of Jiading are simply impossible to redeem for death.
Rao is Zheng Du is young and old, and his mind is cunning, but he still didn't expect Hou Xuanyan to leave like this...
You treat him as a great enemy of life and death, he didn't look at the Zheng family like this at all, and figured out this joint, although Zheng Du knew that this was a good thing, he couldn't help but be a little resentful.
Shi Lang looked at his appearance, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he laughed in his heart: After all, he is a young man who is not yet twenty years old, how can you understand that person.
The next thing for the two sides came to fruition, Shi Lang and Zheng Du knew each other's bottom line and their own requirements, the Zheng family agreed to open up the sea to sweep away the pirates along the coast, and in their waters, absolutely guarantee the safety of passenger ships going to and from the south of the Yangtze River; Zheng Zhilong will completely withdraw from Liangguang, no longer get involved in the affairs between the Tusi in the southwest and the rebels, and no longer have the support of money, food, and weapons. In exchange, the six prefectures of Fujian would not be attacked by the imperial court, and Zheng Zhilong's men could purchase goods from Jiangnan, and the trade of each other's merchants would not be affected in the slightest.
After this battle, Zheng Zhilong, the king of Fujian, became half of the king of Fujian...
And the tax crisis of the imperial court will also be solved immediately, and Hou Xuanyan is already on his way back to Beijing at this time.
The Zhejiang soldiers returned to the division, everyone's faces were filled with a heartfelt smile, the life of the savages was hard, especially this group of Jiangsu and Zhejiang children, who grew up in the rich and prosperous places of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, inexplicably followed Hou Xuanyan into the deep mountains of Fujian, and lived a life of being surrounded and intercepted, which was simply a nightmare.
Hou Xuanyan did not stay in Hangzhou for a long time, bid farewell to Zhejiang officials, and rushed directly to Jinling by boat.
Just after the Spring Festival, there is still a trace of New Year's flavor everywhere, and more merchants are preparing for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.
As soon as the Zheng family's sailors withdrew, the merchants of Longtan Port were like male beasts in estrus that had been held back for several years, and they got into the arms of the sea.
The boats on the water are weaving like a rush, and Hou Xuanyan's dragon boat is going up, and he is not in a hurry to return to Beijing along the way, enjoying the calm river surface in winter.
On the sparkling river, merchant ships grew in size, and these merchants contracted the docks, and in addition to the annual quota of warships for the sailors, they could pay to build their own ships. As a result, a variety of merchant ships that played the role of ship transportation to the extreme came into being. These ships did not think about weapons at all, and they went to sea under the protection of sailors, so they only pursued the amount of cargo they could hold. Often two sea trips are comparable to the previous three times.
Sure enough, wealth is the source of imagination and creativity, and he has given people infinite potential, and Hou Xuanyan is very happy in his heart. Behind these strange merchant ships with big bellies is not only a matter of how much profit they make, but also means the liberation of the thinking of the gentry and wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. A rigid and conservative nation will inevitably become a backward and beaten party in the next great era. In view of this, any attempt and open-mindedness are worthy of special mention, and are a necessary condition for maintaining the strength and prosperity of the nation.
In front of Longtan Harbor, the busy merchant ships temporarily stopped leaving the port, waiting to make way for the huge dragon ship. The members of the Manchu Dynasty, except for those whose grades are not enough, basically came here to welcome the triumph of the Duke of Yue.
Under the deck, dozens of guards with knives lined up on both sides, and Hou Xuanyan walked down from the ship. The hundred officials looked up and saw that the Duke of Yue was wearing a dark blue coat, wearing a robe embroidered with gold and white background, a sword with a golden sheath and jade handle tied around his waist, and a blue-black dome and straight-legged head, surrounded by brave and good soldiers in the pro-military camp. He is more and more heroic, like a young general returning from victory.
"Participate in the national government." Hundreds of officials claimed, Hou Xuanyan didn't expect his peers to give face so much this time, and he was a little surprised in his heart.
In fact, he defeated Zheng Zhilong this time, unlike in the past, this time he saved the entire imperial court. In the days when there was no money, it was difficult for all yamen, to the point that they could not work.
"Haha, you have come here to greet you, and the public of my country is uneasy." Hou Xuanyan pinched his waist with one hand, looked up to the sky and smiled.
...
This look, where there is a little uneasy look, is clearly triumphant. Most of the officials will smile, such a leader is much better than the kind of person who hides a knife in his smile and does not smile, at least he does not have to worry about being killed suddenly. Although Yue Guogong is ruthless, he will never make trouble for no reason, in fact, those who are familiar with him know that as long as he does not touch his bottom line, he is surprisingly magnanimous in small things. But if he did the few things he hated, it would be light to raid his family and exterminate his family.
A large number of officials instantly hugged him, accompanied by flattering words of praise and virtue, and hugged him to the official sedan chair docked on the dock.
Although he was thinking about his relatives at home, Hou Xuanyan still chose to go to the palace first to meet the little emperor. After all, the reputation of righteousness is what he needs, and this banner is indispensable to win the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.
In the Forbidden City, up to the twelve prisons at the inner gate, down to the palace maids and small chamberlains, all of them are his people.
Wang Xiangnian personally greeted him, smiling like a chrysanthemum, and welcomed him into the palace. Along the way, he kept talking about some interesting things about the little emperor, and the left and right were just trivial things about the growth of the little milk baby, and there seemed to be endless fun in his mouth, and the sharp voice did not stop along the way. Hou Xuanyan's heart warmed, there is true love in the world, this eunuch and Emperor Longwu have a deep relationship, and it has reached this point. Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of loyal eunuchs around the emperor, Wang Chengen, who died with him in the coal mountain, and Cao Huachun, who was blackened by the literati. Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan did not scold him for the first time, and went all the way to the outside of the Qianqing Palace.
Hou Xuanyan stepped in, with a sword at his waist, wind under his feet, and so powerful that he entered the palace with a sword, and everyone still felt that it should be taken for granted. Unconsciously, Hou Xuanyan was already the only powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty.
When Gong E in the Qianqing Palace saw that a man had broken in, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth and screamed, and when she almost screamed, she suddenly realized that it was Yue Guogong. Grandpa Guo has been out fighting for a few months, and the whole person has been dark again, but it seems to be more manly...
Hou Xuanyan lifted it with his hand, helped the palace maid who almost fell, and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" β
The palace maid has been in the deep palace for a long time, and suddenly was supported by a man with her delicate body, her face turned red with a brush, and her voice was three points softer than usual: "Guogong, Your Majesty, she is in the palace and has just woken up." β
The smokeless animal charcoal in the dormitory, the baking room is as warm as spring, the elixir is thinly clothed, and the little emperor is reading a book in the palace, reading it with relish. Zhu Linhao has reached the age of recognizing people, and after seeing Hou Xuanyan, who was born, she babbled and screamed. Obviously, she had forgotten all about the regent who was holding her in her arms.
The elixir was noisy by her, and she raised her head suddenly, with surprises in her eyes. Holding Zhu Linhao with one hand, he got up and gave a salute: "Master, you are back!" β
Hou Xuanyan snorted, and reached out to hug Xiao Zhu Zhu with his teeth and claws. The little guy is not afraid of life, and Hou Xuanyan held her in front of him, the little guy was very interesting, and spit out a few saliva bubbles in his little mouth.
"Alas..."As soon as he thought of her, Hou Xuanyan felt that his head was big, and he left himself with this problem, but he walked resolutely, and went underground without blinking an eye to continue to serve the husband. It's okay when I was a child, but if I grow up, how can I hide it. Hou Xuanyan stretched out his hand, and sure enough, the small dragon robe was empty underneath...
"Still a girl." Hou Xuanyan's face was even more sad, there was only one elixir here, and he didn't want to hide his state of mind.
The elixir's cheeks were slightly red, and he covered his mouth and chuckled: "Master, what are you doing, this thing still grows out of thin air." At the end, his voice was almost inaudible, and he blushed and lowered his head.
Hou Xuanyan tilted his head sideways, looked at her pinching her skirt, and quipped, "Which thing?" My little elixir knowledge has increased, and I know a lot of things. β
The elixir flushed his cheeks, and said softly: "The master will bully people..."
Hou Xuanyan took a closer look, and saw that his little elixir body was extremely thin, his waist was small, and even his hips were delicate and small. The exposed skin is white and delicate like steamed milk. The chest is pointed and upturned, not like a girl of this age.
Hou Xuanyan's eyes seem to have a baking effect, and the more he looks at the elixir, the redder his skin becomes, especially his pretty cheeks. He took a deep breath and sighed, "No matter how red the green apples are, they taste green, right?" β
"If you don't taste it, you will know." When this sentence was spoken, the whole person of the elixir was dizzy as if he was drunk, and the deer on his chest was beating wildly, and he could hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Hou Xuanyan held Zhu Linhao, who was drooling with both hands, squatted on the seat of the elixir, picked up the tea on the table and poured it into his mouth. As soon as the elixir looked at it, his face was like a ripe apple, and he quietly walked behind him and gently kneaded his shoulders. These days, she mingled with the female officials in the palace, and after getting acquainted with each other, she often listened to them talk about men. These people are withered in the palace, exhausted their youth, and speak the most indiscriminately. After listening to it too much, he forced the little elixir into a young girl. I drank that cup of tea just now, sir...
Hou Xuanyan was unconscious, took a sip of tea foam and said: "The tribute tea in the palace is so unpalatable, I think it is the eunuchs of Shangshan who bullied a group of your daughters, this time I will bring back a little red robe from Wuyi Mountain, and I will reward you with a little taste another day." After finishing speaking, he stood up and left the Qianqing Palace as if he had fled, and left a sentence before leaving, supporting the scene: "Take good care of Your Majesty, I will come to see you again when I have time." β
The elixir leaned against the palace gate, biting his lip lightly, and watched him leave with a confused look: "A thief who has no guts..."
Of course, Hou Xuanyan has no guts, a twelve-year-old girl, he will definitely not be able to do it. After all, a long time later, Lu Xun once raised his arms and shouted to warn the world: the sense of morality in human nature is an obligation, and we must give the soul a sense of beauty.
The beauty of youth is soulless, well...
