Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun also saw the scars on Mang Yingli's face, and asked Feng Bao very strangely: "Feng Daban, why does the Burmese prince have a blue nose and swollen face?" Could it be that this Burmese is so domineering that they still fight everywhere when they come to our capital? ”

Feng Bao is in charge of Dongchang and is the No. 1 spy leader of the Ming Dynasty, of course he knows the details, and he will not hide it for Qin Lin: "Back to the emperor's words, the old slave listened to the little ones say that it was Qin Lin, the Fusi of Jinyi Wei Zhangnan Town, and Xu Tingfu, the little grandfather of the Dingguo Mansion, who joined forces to fight, and the reason seems to be that the Burmese offended Qin Linping's wife Xu. ”

Wanli had also seen Xu Xinyi who had entered Beijing with his parents when he was a child, and when he heard this, he grinned, leaned back, and waved his hand: "Xu? That stupid eldest sister in Nanjing's Wei State Mansion, haha...... Well, Qin Aiqing played well, even I wanted to beat him. ”

Unexpectedly, the voice was a little louder, and Zhang Juzheng, who was standing at the head of the ministers' class, heard it, and the emperor's first assistant glanced back at the student, and reminded in a deep voice: "This is the court ceremony to receive the tributary envoys of the foreign domain, please be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Wanli was very frightened of this strict master, and immediately sat up straight, straightened his face, and sat on the throne like a clay statue Bodhisattva.

Zhang Juzheng smiled with satisfaction, turned his head, and didn't notice a trace of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the good student, and even Feng Bao and Feng Dugong, who were complacent next to the throne, didn't care, or even if they saw it, they didn't take it to heart.

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, who were a little farther away, were very keenly aware of His Majesty's fleeting emotional changes...... Mang Yingli has gone to the front of the palace, the drum music is great, the prince of Burma arrived in Beijing three months ago, in order to offer the auspicious white elephant to be trained by the elephant taming to be familiar with the tribute, dragged until today to carry out the Hajj, there are already officials of the Ministry of Rites taught him the Hajj etiquette, then he prostrate on the ground, and performed eight bows.

Wanli didn't speak, but the official announced the system for him: "When the emperor asked the envoy to come, was King Er safe?" ”

Mang Yingli knelt down and replied: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the foreign domain will make the country safe and healthy." ”

After the Burmese prince prostrated and bowed again, the undertaker announced again: "The emperor asked again, the envoy came from afar to work hard." ”

Mang Yingli knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty is deeply benevolent and kind, and the foreign ministers are devout, so they come to the court from afar and work hard. ”

This programmed question and answer will be similar to that of later generations: "Hello comrades - good chief; The comrades are tanned - the chiefs are even darker" and that set is exactly the same.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military were drowsy, but Qin Lin touched his chin and grinned: We are a big country, it is really the same as ancient and modern, and even this set is in the same vein.

After the Q&A ceremony is over, it's time to offer auspiciousness.

Confucianism believes in the induction of heaven and man, and the emperor is also called the Son of Heaven.

The sky is full of seven colored clouds, the grass is born with two spikes, the earth is full of sweet springs, and strange birds and beasts are present...... And so on are auspicious, legend Zhou Wen Wang Xiqi Dazhi, so Feng Ming Qi Mountain, Zhou Wu Wang hanged the people to cut the crime, the white fish jumped into the boat, is the best proof of auspicious Rui.

Now that Emperor Wanli has been on the throne for eight years, Zhang Juzheng has been regent for eight years, and the imperial court has vigorously promoted the new policy, cleared the acres of land, rectified the rule of officials, cleaned up the arrears, and reorganized the army and the military.

Wanli himself also wants to see the white elephant very much, young people are curious, and when they hear that Xiangrui is about to be offered, their butts are a little unable to sit still.

Emperor Feng Bao announced: "Order the mahout to present the auspicious white elephant!" ”

Wen Desheng knelt down after leaving the class, hesitantly arched his hand upward, and said after a long time: "Weichen, Weichen is incompetent, the white elephant is not tamed, and a few days ago he also stepped on people's lives, and rashly led to the front of the emperor, in case it goes crazy and is afraid that it will startle the holy car, Weichen will not be able to atone for his sins." ”

Mang Yingli didn't believe it when he heard this, and looked here in confusion, and just happened to see Qin Lin beside Wen Desheng, who didn't know much about Chaoyi, so he pointed at him and shouted: "You, you...... By the way, Your Majesty, it was this official surnamed Qin who beat the vassal and beat the vassal like this! The white elephant offered by Xiaobang is very docile, it is an auspicious treasure, where will it trample on the dead? He must have bad intentions and tried to sabotage Hajj! ”

It's okay if Mang Yingli doesn't break it, this is shouted directly, and the hundred officials saw that he was beaten like a pig's head, and they all shook their heads and laughed, it was difficult for Qin Lin to be so ruthless.

Since the emperor was fighting, Wanli couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and asked in person: "Qin Aiqing, is there such a thing?" ”

Qin Lin came out of the class and walked to the position where the head of the class was very close to Wanli before saluting and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, it was really Weichen who beat him, please Your Majesty to surrender." However, the white elephant did trample on people, although it has become docile in the past few days, the ministers are still afraid that it will suddenly go crazy and startle the holy driver, Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, in case something goes wrong......"

Mang Yingli didn't know the etiquette, and muttered beside him: "We have fed the white elephant for more than half a year, all the way from Yunnan to Beijing, and it is so well-behaved, where will it trample on people?" Please Your Majesty to cure Qin Lin's crime of bullying the king, there is no problem for Weichen to guarantee with his surname, and Weichen will take the elephant himself! ”

Qin Lin ignored Mang Yingli, but he was always worried, pretending to be very worried, and bitterly persuaded Wanli not to call the white elephant up.

Wanli frowned when he heard this, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Qin Aiqing dares to see his head to examine his injuries and cut out his heart, is it possible that as the Son of Heaven, I am even afraid of an elephant?" There is no reason for this! I am not made of mud, white paper, or straw. Come on, bring the elephant up! ”

Wen Desheng didn't move, and raised his eyes to see Zhang Juzheng's face.

Zhang Ju happened to be overjoyed, and also hoped that auspicious luck would fall from heaven to show that the new policy was in line with the will of heaven and the people's feelings, and expected that the elephant had been trained in the elephant training center for three months, and he swore that nothing would go wrong, so he ordered the Han generals to be on guard, and then asked Wen Desheng to bring the elephant up.

Wen Desheng had no choice but to retreat, and in less than a cup of tea, he led the white elephant to dare to live and walked over slowly.

At this time, he dared to live in a splendid one-shouldered mattress, his forehead was decorated with a large piece of gold jewelry, and he was carrying a glass vase inlaid with seven treasures on his back, with its white and powdered skin, which was really luxurious.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all happy when they saw it, and said that it was really auspicious, otherwise where would there be this white elephant?

Wanli smiled, and became more and more unable to sit on the throne: "Hey, this elephant is exactly the same as the white elephant sitting on the Queen Mother's Buddhist scriptures, Haha, I see that it is very docile, Qin Aiqing just said it is exaggerated." ”

Feng Bao was happy when he heard this, and fanned the flames beside him: "Please Your Majesty to cure Qin Lin's crime of bullying the king." ”

Wanli was very happy at this time, where did he have time to pay attention to the crime of bullying the king? His eyes stared at the white elephant without blinking, and he was eager to try, as if he wanted to ride it himself.

Qin Lin stared at Feng Bao with a smile: Do you remember to eat or not, Feng Daban, you have itchy skin again?

Feng Bao also glared back at him: Who told you to talk nonsense? Even if you pay tribute, even the Hajj and the auspicious ceremony want to destroy, where do you put the face of the court? In this matter, even Zhang Xiangye will not stand on your side!

But isn't it, Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and looked at the white elephant with a smile, and there were already officials who were good at sycophancy and recited loudly: "Legend has it that Mr. Taiyue came to the world, and there was a white turtle on the Han River. ”

When Zhang Juzheng was born, there was indeed a white turtle floating out of the Han River, so his name was Bai Gui, and when he heard this, the first assistant emperor became more and more happy.

Mang Yingli was determined to sit on Qin Lin's crime of bullying the king, walked up by himself, snatched the reins of the white elephant from Wen Desheng's hand, and commanded it to prostrate, kneel, shake its nose, and fan its ears.

Dare to live is just a young elephant, was robbed by the Burmese and suffered a lot this year, very afraid of Mangyingli, so according to his command, one by one doing all kinds of actions, naïve and cute.

The smug Mangying didn't notice that the short, thin, dark-faced man among the four elephant slaves was staring at him with hatred...... Seeing that the white elephant was so docile and honest, the civil and military ministers were all relieved, and many people looked at Qin Lin and shook their heads: It's okay to make other nonsense, the foreign domain presented auspicious ceremonies to the imperial court, and you actually want to destroy it out of personal enmity, it's too much to say, right? If you want to investigate it strictly, there is no problem in curing you for the crime of bullying the king in front of the palace.

Liu Shouyou sneered, thinking about how to buckle a big hat for Qin Lin later, even if His Majesty was very good to Qin's holy family, he would ask him to peel off his skin.

Feng Bao was extremely proud and glanced at Qin Lin.

"Withdrawn, withdrawn!" Wanli waved his hand, and the Han generals who were originally on strict guard retreated one after another, drumming and playing loudly, and recklessly leading the elephant to dance and bow, and the monarchs and ministers were peaceful.

Wanli saw that he was rising, and he couldn't care that Zhang Juzheng was here, standing up from the throne, and it seemed that he wanted to get closer and touch the white elephant.

When the emperor got off, Feng Bao immediately picked up the whip to sound the whip, which was woven with raw silk, and after dyeing yellow, the tip of the whip was coated with wax, and it crackled like a firecracker on the ground.

However, before the whip was fired, Feng Bao held the whip in his right hand as usual, and grabbed the whip body with his left hand and stretched it three times, which was a test whip before the whip.

The three sounds of tension were slight and dull, barely audible in the drumming.

At this moment, the eyes of the white elephant who dared to stop immediately turned red, and he broke free from Mang Yingli with a fierce force, spread his legs and rushed straight towards the royal car under the yellow silk umbrella cover!

Mang Yingli was so frightened that he clung to the reins, but where could he beat the strength of an elephant? The rough reins ran through the palm of his hand, rubbing the blood on the palm of his hand, and the pain penetrated into the bone marrow for a while.

Suddenly, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded, and even the brave military ministers didn't have time to react.

The Han general had already withdrawn, and at this time, there was no one between the imperial driver and the crazy white elephant, and the behemoth rushed straight to the imperial car under the emperor's gate, Wanli, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were all in front of its conflict!

"Protect Your Majesty!" Qin Lin suddenly flashed his body in front of the royal car, only to see that his feet were not bad, his teeth were clenched, and he looked at death as if he were at home, his eyes were as bright as substance, his body was in the depths of Yue Zhi, one hand clenched his fist in front of his chest, and the other hand pointed at the crazy elephant, and he was majestic and majestic, at first glance it looked like King Kong was angry, and if he looked closely, it seemed like the protector of the Dharma Veda descended to earth.

So this scene is like a freeze-frame shot in a movie, which will forever remain in the memory of Emperor Wanli and the civil and military ministers.
