"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:"

A slightly sharp and feminine voice sounded in the town guard's mansion, but when he read this, he paused, and couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.

"I want to tell Lian Zining that you have made a big mistake this time, and I originally wanted to punish you severely, so that your little tail would not be too high. But after thinking about it, you did it, and it was your people who were killed, and you have to avenge this revenge! I have limited you to bring back the heads of a thousand Japanese slaves before June of this year, and I will reward you greatly. If you can't do it, going to Jinyiwei Prison won't be wronged you! Chin this. ”

"Huh?" Not to mention Lian Zining, the officers and officers kneeling in front of the hall to receive the order were all dumbfounded, staring at each other with big eyes, and what they saw from each other's eyes was full of incredible.

This is the holy decree of our Ming Dynasty? This is our emperor's golden words? This is inevitable, and it is inevitable...... Too popular, right?

This is what they don't know, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the surname is more, that is, he doesn't pay much attention to the holy decree, Emperor Zhengde is better, if it is replaced by Emperor Yongle, the holy decree is full of how I am, how you are, and often talk the same, every time it makes those who are responsible for modifying the words a headache.

Lian Zining reacted quickly, and hurriedly said loudly: "Minister Lian Zining accepts the order, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

Xu Fugui nodded, stepped forward and handed him the holy decree, Lian Zining got up, carefully put it in a high-quality wooden box, and handed it to Kang Su on the side for her to take back and keep it.

let everyone disperse, withdrew the incense case, and went to the side hall with Xu Fugui.

Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and it has been a full ten days since the treacherous and treacherous court meeting that had a far-reaching impact on Lian Zining's career.

After coming back, Lian Zining immediately became a soldier to deal with the impact of this matter, and after doing this, two major events began.

The first thing is to step up the training of soldiers, especially Xiong Tingbi's 1,000th Infantry Army, which has been training every time, and the physical fitness and tacit cooperation of the soldiers have greatly increased, and the overall strength of the army has continued to rise.

The other thing is to carry out a plan called Operation Rat Hunt - when he was in the capital, Lian Zining listened to what Dai Zhangpu told him about the recitals in the court after he came back, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although some of the charges against him are very nonsensical, many of them can really find a basis. Fortunately, the emperor didn't pursue it, and if he really wanted to investigate, his ass would not be clean.

This shows that there must be ghosts in the land of the six counties, and even the news that he rewarded the Chen family lady with those gold and silver treasures. This made Lian Zining shudder a little, could it be that his own town guard mansion was mixed into the annihilation?

After returning, he handed notes to the squires from all over the country, asking them to secretly keep an eye out for those outsiders whose whereabouts were secretive and specialized in inquiring about news. Inside and outside the town guard mansion, they also arranged for their henchmen to patrol at night to see if anyone had spread the news and handed over small words.

After a month, the results are remarkable, and a lot of suspicious people have been locked, although there is no way to expel them, but they can always send people to keep an eye on them and watch out carefully.

After arresting a few and interrogating them, Lian Zining learned that their origin was very complicated - there were those sent by Sun Ting, other bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and even Jinyiwei's secret agents! Treat those brocade clothes and ride the sand, Lian Zining is naturally delicious and drunk and let go, as for the rest, then you are welcome, but anyone who does not deal with Dai Zhangpu will be beaten and stripped naked and thrown outside the city, and he will freeze to death, and if he does not freeze to death, it will be his fate.

Only then did I know that I was so popular here, and everyone wanted to come over and mix a leg.

I don't know if Lian Zining is destined for him, this time he came to deliver the decree, or Xu Fugui, he went out of the capital on the seventh day of the first month, and he was swaying on the road, and he didn't arrive in Leling County until today.

The two came to the side hall, sat down separately, exchanged a few words, and Lian Zining handed over a wooden box. Xu Fugui didn't shirk either, just nodded, smiled, and smiled.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them knew each other.

He is now different from before, with a lot of money provided by Lian Zining, working up and down the palace, and because he can read and write, he will come to things, and now he has been promoted to the eunuch of the imperial horse supervision book, which can be regarded as neither high nor low, and he will no longer look at people like before. And through Lian Zining's relationship, he hugged the thigh of Liu Jixiang, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and also had a very hard backer.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor is an out-and-out top real power unit of the Ming Dynasty, and the celebrant examines and approves cabinet tickets on behalf of the emperor, and the cabinet is confidential, which is actually the "internal minister"; The Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War and the Governor jointly hold the military handle, which is actually the "cardinal house" of the inner court. In fact, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also had to manage the pasture and the imperial village, operate the imperial store, and manage the finances with the households, and was the "internal steward" of the Ming court; The West Factory, which was set up twice, was also supervised by the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the East Factory of the Celebrant Inspector. There are also a lot of people who ask Xu Fugui to do things, and the so-called living qi and cultivating the body, now in front of outsiders, has already cultivated a little bit of bearing, and some nobles have the meaning of officials.

Of course, in front of Lian Zining, he naturally wouldn't hold a shelf, he knew very well how everything he got now, and he also clearly saw how strong the hidden strength of this Lord Lian was in the court struggle more than ten days ago. Liu Jixiang's father-in-law said good things for him; When the Marquis of Shouning entered the palace to face the saint, he also said a few words that the company could be used and could become a great tool; Even when the emperor and his old man went to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace, the Queen Mother asked this Lord Lian, saying that the words he wrote were so good that the mourning family also loved to read them, and such a talent must be of great use.

The palace has always been a leak, if you want to hope that those words can't get out, it's impossible at all, and now the whole palace is up and down, who doesn't know who Lian Zining is? How much face is it to let the Queen Mother say good things to him?

Not to mention, people are in the outer court, and there is also an old man who is a squire in the military department!

This time in the court fight, Lian Zining's exposed strength is really terrifying.

Having the ability, the skill, the backer, the face, and the generous shot, such a person is the best partner and the most terrible enemy.

The two talked for a while, and Lian Zining said with a smile: "In this box, there is only one thousand taels of silver, which is not much, and this time, there is no thank you gift from my father-in-law to Liu Jixiang's father-in-law." ”

Xu Fugui's face was stunned with a smile, and Lian Zining smiled: "Father-in-law Xu, don't be in a hurry, and listen to the official slowly." ”

"This time, Gonggong Xu and Liu Jixiang's husband have made a big move, and the official knows in his heart, how can there be no account?" Lian Zining nodded his heart, and said with a faint smile: "This time I want to cut off the heads of those thousand Japanese robbers, I must go to Fusang, I can tell my father-in-law here, this time, in addition to going to avenge the shame, I also want to open up a trade route to Fusang." ”

"My father-in-law has been in the palace for a long time, he may not be familiar with the market, our goods of the Ming Dynasty can only be described as a best-selling product in Fusang, just take a small pack of iron needles as an example, do you know what number can be sold in Fusang?" Lian Zining asked with a smile.

Xu Fugui's eyes lit up when he heard the silver, and he stretched out a finger: "A penny of silver? ”

"Wrong!" Lian Zining laughed: "How heavy is that bag of iron needles, and how much silver is sold!" ”

"Shhh Xu Fugui gasped, he didn't believe it, but he also knew that Lian Zining would definitely not lie to him, and said in surprise: "Are those Fusang people stupid?" ”

Lian Zining shook his hand and said with a smile: "They also know that they are at a loss, but their craftsmanship is too poor, they can't make iron needles by themselves, and they can't use them, so they have to suffer this dumb loss." In fact, don't say it's Fusang, more than ten countries around our Daming, which one doesn't rely on the elegance of our Daming? If we cut off their trade, they'll be blinded right away! ”

Xu Fugui nodded as if he didn't understand: "This is also true." ”

Lian Zining knew that he didn't understand, and said with a smile: "If you go to Fusang this time, if you can open up the situation, then on this business road, there will be seven points of Liu Jixiang's husband." ”

He pointed at Xu Fugui with a smile and said, "Father-in-law Xu, you also have three points." ”

"Is that true?" Xu Fugui's eyes immediately lit up, as the strongest group of people who possessed money, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were also very interested in doing business - it was better to be a smuggler than to send money directly, I don't know how many times! This is a chicken that lays golden eggs! Not to mention that the Lien chaebol is now famous in the business circles of the capital, and there are new tricks appearing one after another, if they do business, most people think that they will definitely make money.

"That's great, that's great!" In front of the silver, Xu Fugui also lost his calm bearing, and he just muttered.

Lian Zining looked at him, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, this crisis made him clearly understand how important connections are, so after having the idea of forming a trade route to Fusang, he planned to use this opportunity to pull everyone on his own boat. In fact, it is not only Xu Fugui and Liu Jixiang who have a share in this trade route, but also Zhang Yanchang and Dai Zhangpu, and even Dai Anlan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, all have a share.

To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of finding a name to send them money, and if you lose it, you count Lian Zining's money, and if you make it, you can count everyone's money.

And the reason why Xu Fugui and Liu Jixiang are brought in is because Lian Zining knows their energy in the court, and the eunuchs are very interesting, although they are very greedy for money, but they basically do things after receiving money, which is better than many civil officials, I don't know how much.
