Chapter 167: The Ghost Lingers
Tang Ming in the carriage was taken aback by the idea that he suddenly appeared, if Takeo wanted to kill himself, then what benefit could he get and take Jeju Island back? Is this possible?
Tang Ming was thinking nonsense in the carriage, when Li Ba's honest face suddenly appeared in front of him, and said, "Master Hou, the assassins in ambush outside have been cleaned up, and four of them have escaped, leaving three corpses." ”
"Do you know who it is?" How many people died and how many people escaped, Tang Ming didn't care about these, he just wanted to know who dared to go against him.
Li Ba shook his head and replied: "I can't identify the identity of the corpses, these people are all dressed as farmers and I haven't heard them speak, but according to the subordinates who fought with them, the martial arts of these people are somewhat similar to those ninjas in the island country." ”
Tang Ming thought for a moment and ordered Li Ba to take the three dead bodies and continue to hurry, no matter who sent these people, he would take them for Takeo to see, and by the way, observe his changes, whether he did it or not, he would know the bottom of his heart when he did.
The team continued to move on, and after this lesson, they did not dare to be distracted again. The sun rises from the direction of Seoul and hangs like a large pie above Seoul.
When Seoul arrived, the city gate had been opened from afar, and the people had already begun a busy day, coming and going in and out of the city gate, a peaceful scene.
Tang Ming's team of brightly armored horses did not attract any attention when they entered the city, and it seemed that the people here were accustomed to this. However, when they entered the city gate, they attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers, because there were five corpses in the procession.
Today is the day when Takeo ascends the throne, and the guards naturally have to pay more attention, but fortunately, the person who took the lead here is a soldier in the former Takeo Palace, he knows Tang Ming and knows that he has a great relationship with Takeo, so he has no embarrassment to let him go.
When he arrived at the imperial city, An Deshan was already waiting where, and took Tang Ming directly to the harem to meet with Takeo. The fat man in the imperial robe looked like an upstart, how did Tang Ming look like the lord of a country.
Wu Fatzi was very happy, he was confused for a night last night, and he figured it out when it was about to dawn, and truly accepted that he had achieved the results of ten years of hard work.
"Finally looking forward to your coming, Brother Tang!" The fat man laughed cheerfully, and took two steps closer to Tang Ming to have an intimate hug.
Tang Ming was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back, waved his hand again and again, and said, "The king is still free of this hug, my little body can't stand it." ”
Takeo laughed again, and Tang Ming was not embarrassed, and after inviting him to sit down, he said: "Brother left early in the morning, why did he not arrive until now, is there something delayed on the way?" ”
Tang Ming nodded silently, and gave Li Ba behind him a look, Li Ba walked out of the hall with a slight arch of his hand, and came back after a while, but at this time there were four more guards and two corpses behind him.
Pointing to the two corpses on the ground, Tang Ming said in a sullen voice, "Does the king know where these two corpses are?" ”
Staring at the face of the fat man, Tang Ming did not let go of any change in his face, but unfortunately the look of the fat man was very normal, he just glanced at the two corpses casually and asked suspiciously: "Brother, what is the matter, where did these two corpses come from?" Judging by the clothes he wears, he should be a citizen of my ancient dynasty, but his hair ornament looks like a person from an island country. ”
Wu Fatzi was not the one who assassinated him, Tang Ming was already sure from his expression just now, so he no longer had any concealment, and told Wu Fatzi everything about his ambush halfway in the morning.
Wu Fatman, who was furious after hearing this, was afraid that the table would stand upright, and said in a dark voice: "Isn't it true that the people of this island country are still dead hearted, and they still miss this Jeju Island, brothers still have to be careful in the future, the most powerful thing in this island country is this assassination ability." ”
"If it's really from the island country, then I won't be afraid of them, I will slaughter as many as I come, if it really provokes me, it's not impossible to kill the island country with the fleet." Tang Ming's tone was full of determination and confidence.
What he is afraid of now is not these so-called island people, what he is afraid of is that these are instructed by Jianwen. Fujino Village is the best example, if Jianwen really chased himself here, then the grudge between him and Jianwen could not be escaped, and in the end, one party had to die first before stopping.
The grievances between Tang Ming and Jianwen, he didn't mention it to Wu Fatzi, and Wu Fatzi didn't ask deeply. This Jeju Island has always been a place for island countries to peep, and he will give up Jeju Island to Tang Ming, which is also in this regard.
Tang Ming has a strong fleet as a backing, which can deal with the sea power of the island country very well, Wu Fatzi wants to use this to win time, and then use Tang Ming's shipbuilding technology to develop his own sea fleet as soon as possible, only if he is strong enough, he will not be afraid of the harassment of the island country.
The two of them walked into the hall of the court meeting one after the other, and the new civil and military ministers of the ancient dynasty had been waiting for a long time. Tang Ming, the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, knows nine out of ten of the people here. Seeing him and Takeo enter the main hall together, no one showed a puzzled look.
Wu Fatzi ascended the throne, and after the ministers worshipped, they rewarded those who had meritorious deeds, the promotion of those who should be promoted, and the fiefdom of the fief. In the end, it was Tang Ming's turn, and Takeo announced in front of the Manchu Minister of Civil and Military Affairs that he would swear his brother and crown Tang Ming as the king of the opposite sex.
No one raised an objection, Tang Ming was the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and his status in the ancient dynasty was no different from that of the prince. In fact, it is the same whether he is crowned or not, and now there is only one name, and only in this way can he have Jeju Island in a dignified manner.
Wu Fatzi fulfilled his promise, Tang Ming naturally couldn't say it anymore, the shipyard on Jeju Island had already begun to put into production, and the warship Tang Ming asked for by Takeo refurbished more than a dozen ships with island ships, and at this time handed over these ships to Wu Fatzi, which was just used in return.
If you can't get a treasure ship, it's not bad to have more than a dozen warships, Wu Fatzi is still very happy about this, and specially set up a banquet to entertain everyone.
After the banquet dispersed, when Tang Ming said goodbye, Takeo mysteriously stuffed more than a dozen selected beauties in the palace for him, saying that he was not too old but did not see any women around him to serve, so he specially selected a few for him.
Tang Ming couldn't refuse this matter, so he could only accept it with a smile, as for how to arrange these women after they went back, he had already thought about it, and threw it directly to Chen Jialan for training, so as to save her from being too bored to be idle.
An Deshan followed Tang Ming's team again, more than a dozen warships would be handed over to him, and Tang Ming should also go back to build a large number of buildings. The New Year is approaching, Zheng He is also about to sail away, during this time, he will definitely be recalled to Daming, even if Zhu Di does not call him back, he himself must go back.
