Chapter 416: Contact

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Mu to explain the specific content of the recital sent by Xiong Wencan in detail in front of Empress Zhang and Tian Yuan's second concubine, after all, there is still such an ancestral system of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" in the Ming Dynasty, and the matter of Fujian's recruitment of Zheng Zhilong is undoubtedly a secret of the imperial court, and it is certainly inconvenient for the women of the harem to know too much - of course, for Lin Ye, Xiao Mu has never regarded her as a "harem woman", as for the focus of these four words on the "harem" or on the "woman", it is unknown.

All in all, Xiao Mu, who got this recital, had a justifiable and dignified reason not to continue to admire the moon, and after a while, he took a leave of absence from Empress Zhang and others, and left the "family fun" moon viewing scene, and went back to deal with "national affairs" alone. In fact, Xiao Mu was not so concerned about the moon appreciation, it was nothing more than the periodic change of the moon's roundness caused by the position relationship between the earth, the sun, and the moon, and the moon would be so round on the fifteenth day of every month, so the moon appreciation was not particularly attractive to Xiao Mu, and for him, the moon of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be as round as he had traveled through the previous and future generations.

Although she held the same opinion as Xiao Mu on the issue of moon appreciation, Lin Yi was still a member of the "harem woman" on the surface, so she naturally had no reason to leave first on the grounds of government affairs like Xiao Mu. Therefore, although she cares about the content of this recital and Xiao Mu's sentence "Xiong Wencan's efficiency is high", there is no way to immediately catch up and ask what is going on, and not only can she not immediately know the content of the recital, but she also has to pretend that she does not care about this kind of government affairs, otherwise it will naturally violate the ancestral motto of "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", so she can only continue to sit and stare at the moon in the sky in a daze, and chat with Queen Zhang and them from time to time.

Finally, about half an hour passed, and after the night gradually deepened, Lin Yi finally waited for her personal palace maid Chu'er's words, "Niangniang, it's late at night, beware of catching a cold, let's go back and rest early." ”

Chu'er's words are even more beautiful than any tactful singing voice for Lin Yi, and this reason is simply very sufficient, after all, even if she doesn't think about her as a queen, but for the sake of the prince in her belly, she can't continue to stay in this "cold wind".

Empress Zhang and others naturally said that they had a lot of fun tonight, and everyone should go back to rest early, so the moon viewing activity of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year of the Ming Dynasty finally ended, and Lin Yi was finally relieved and could return to her own dormitory.

Lin Ye didn't wait too long after she went back, and she saw Xiao Mu who came to look for her - the two have basically reached a tacit understanding now, that is, after Xiao Mu knows something, he will definitely tell Lin Ye as soon as possible, which is also the reason why Lin Ye didn't rush to Xiao Mu to ask what Xiong Wencan's piece was written after he came back, because she knew that Xiao Mu would definitely take the initiative to come over and tell her soon.

"What is Xiong Wencan's recital? What kind of high law is his work efficiency? Lin Yi, who saw Xiao Mu, naturally immediately asked this question that made her endure for a long time, and at the same time knew that even if he didn't ask Xiao Mu, he would tell her a question.

"He said that the matter of appeasing Zheng Zhilong was going very smoothly, and Zheng Zhilong was very interested in getting the official position of Daming." Xiao Mu replied, "Of course, this is just a preliminary test between the two of them, and many specific issues need to be further negotiated. But Xiong Wencan wants me to assure me that it is only a matter of time before Zheng Zhilong succeeds. ”

"I remember that it has been less than twenty days since the last time you sent him an urgent delivery to start recruiting him, right?" Lin Yi frowned and asked, "Why does it take a few days for Xiong Wencan to see the news you sent, and the piece you get now is undoubtedly something that Xiong Wencan has sent out a few days ago, removing this back and forth time, the time that can really make him contact with Zheng Zhilong is only ten days, and he can achieve results so quickly?" If you are an ordinary person, let alone reach an agreement with Zheng Zhilong, even if you find the door of Zheng Zhilong's house, it is not certain. ”

"Do you mean to say that Xiong Wencan has a heart of disobedience, and he has already colluded with Zheng Zhilong?" Xiao Mu also felt a little nervous after listening to Lin Yi's words, so he hurriedly asked.

"That's not it, I just think Xiong Wencan's efficiency is really too high." Lin Yi replied, "The piece you get now is undoubtedly that he calculated the days and sent it to the capital on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chapter is very sure of the success of Zhao'an, Xiong Wencan seems to have a good idea of Zhao'an Zheng Zhilong." ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Mu pondered for a long time before he spoke, "Xiong Wencan sent me such a letter on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he must have wanted me, the emperor, to see a good news during the festival. ”

Xiao Mu continued to analyze, "And this method of recruiting Zheng Zhilong was proposed by Xiong Wencan at the beginning, it is very likely that he proposed this method to the imperial court, and before he received a reply from the imperial court, he had some contact with Zheng Zhilong. In this way, he is equivalent to making preparations with both hands, if the court agrees to his recruitment strategy, he can undoubtedly speed up the efficiency of recruitment, it is a good thing for himself, Zheng Zhilong and the imperial court, if the imperial court vetoes his recruitment method, he can just say 'regret' to Zheng Zhilong, anyway, if Zhao'an fails, he and Zheng Zhilong will not be able to become colleagues, and naturally there is no need to care too much about Zheng Zhilong's feelings. ”

"It's probably like this, if he hadn't had contact with Zheng Zhilong in advance, it would not have been possible to reply to the imperial court so soon." Lin Yi also nodded and replied, "It's just that his way of contacting Zheng Zhilong privately is probably a little inappropriate." ”

"This is just my speculation, and there is no evidence that this is the case." Xiao Mu replied, "Moreover, even if he really had contact with Zheng Zhilong in advance, it wouldn't be a big deal in my opinion, after all, at least it would improve the efficiency of the work." Moreover, I think Xiong Wencan probably expected that the imperial court was unable to recruit Zheng Zhilong at all, and his recruitment strategy would definitely be approved by the imperial court, so he went to contact Zheng Zhilong in advance. ”
