0233 Draw from the bottom of the kettle

Liu Daxia sent several close friends out of the door in light robes, and the meteor was about to rush back to the room, but before he reached the middle hall, he roared from behind: "The holy decree has arrived, and Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, has received the decree!" ”

Liu Daxia turned around in astonishment, only to see four captains in brocade clothes surrounded by a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a bearded man, holding the holy decree in his hand, and rushing into the gate of the military department with high spirits.

Liu Dabang glared at the mung bean and looked at his own old man, coughed, and opened the holy decree with a serious preoccupation: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Liu Aiqing, I heard that the Ming Dynasty Chart was moved from Jinling to the capital in the past, and it was confiscated in the treasury of the Ministry of War. I want to know something about my Daming Sea area, and now I will go to the guards of Liu to fetch it, and tell Aiqing and the officials of the Yamen of Yousi to know about it."

He was illiterate, but he remembered his surname, and he only had to listen to someone read it once, and he remembered it word for word.

Liu Daxia was taken aback when he heard this, and then he calmed down and said: "The reply is poor, Zheng He's chart has been lost for many years, and there is nowhere to find it."

Liu Dabang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the emperor also guessed that it must be difficult to find a few nautical charts, my lord is busy with official business, and he must not have the heart to help find this thing, so you won't have to worry about it, come on, the treasury of the military department, the car driver, the staff, and the four Qing officials of the arsenal will take over the thorough investigation from now on, and if you don't turn out Zheng He's sea charts, you will live here tonight."

As soon as Liu's voice fell, the Jinyi guards who poured into the brigade from outside the gate of the military headquarters, led by four thousand households, were about to break in. Seeing this, Liu Daxia was furious, got erect, and shouted angrily: "Who dare? The military department is important, the center of the world's soldiers and horses, how can you be so presumptuous? ”

Liu Dabang smiled with a mallet, and raised the holy decree in his hand and said: "Lord Shangshu has overstepped the courtesy, you haven't received this holy decree yet, we are not bandits and bandits who trespassed on the yamen of the military department, we are looking for Zheng He's chart by the holy decree, the emperor understands the adults, and knows that you don't have the kung fu to help investigate, this is not my own to bring people here."

Liu Daxia held back his anger and said: "Today's court meeting, the emperor has already said that the matter of lifting the sea ban will be put on hold for the time being if the Dongying Kingdom comes to the court, why do you suddenly want to find a sea chart?" The official will enter the palace immediately and go to the leopard room to see the emperor, come on, guard the yamen of the military department, and no one is allowed to trespass! ”

A team of officers and soldiers hurried out and crossed in front of the gate of the middle hall, but the yamen of the military department was the permanent yamen of the six divisions of the Beijing Division, and there were not many soldiers stationed there, and the number was far less than the people brought by Liu Dabang's mallet, and the other party was the emperor's cha, these soldiers were inevitably a little timid, and their momentum suddenly weakened a little.

Liu Dabang said sharply: "The emperor is rich all over the world, why can't he see the charts of his own territory?" Lord Liu didn't know that the king of Wengui had sent a special envoy to Beijing to meet him, and the emperor wanted to see the sea charts, just to know in his heart, Ben Qin even beat the legs of the three bachelors, and was afraid that you, the soldiers of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, would block the way? Get out of the way! ”

Liu Daxia suddenly realized when he heard this: he has been tricked! It turned out that Yang Ling had been planning in the court for a long time, and such a fierce court discussion was simply a pretense, just to introduce himself and others into the court, and the 'tributary ancestral system' was a fatal blow that they were completely sure of!

Liu Daxia's sad and angry white beard fluttered, the general trend is gone, and he and others swore in the court that as long as the country sends envoys to worship, they will agree to lift the ban on trade and open the four seas to accommodate all countries, what else do you have to say now?

Liu Daxia clenched his fists, thinking that there must be large merchant ships and powerful sailors to lift the ban on trade and open up the four seas, and the Ming Dynasty has been able to build big ships for a hundred years since the ban on the sea, and if the sea chart is destroyed and there is the last hope to stop the emperor, his attitude immediately hardened again.

He glanced at Liu Daba's mallet contemptuously, threw his long hair, and stood in front of the door in a plain robe, his hair was as majestic as silver, like a god general in the sky, and laughed loudly: "Solve the sea and trade, bring disaster to the country and the people, the old man is here, who dares to enter?" ”

Liu Dabang's mallet listened to Yang Ling's words that he had memorized for a long time and now finally came in handy, and he immediately shouted: "Fart!" The emperor himself said that the Daming Sea is also the Daming River! The Ming soldiers have the responsibility to defend the land, and they also have the responsibility to guard the sea! As the secretary of the military department, you blindly advocated the ban on the sea, so that the Ming Dynasty lost its sea power and shrank on the land.

The little pirate actually made you, a veteran of a hundred battles, fearful like a tiger, it is really a strong foreign and a cadre in the middle, and the opportunity for the Ming Empire to be powerful all over the world has come to naught, and in another hundred years, I can not even build a ship that can go to sea for several miles, you are a sinner through the ages! He still thinks he is asking for his life for the people, and he is completely ignorant! In front of the monument of Yue Wumu, the white iron cast the statue of Annihilation, it will take thousands of years to kneel, I will see you Liu Dashangshu cast a statue, and it is not too much to kneel in front of the statue of the Three Treasures Eunuch! ”

Liu Daxia was so angry when he heard that his face was purple and bloody, he was a dignified military secretary, and even Emperor Hongzhi politely called Mr. when he saw him, but now he was scolded so badly by a little Jinyi lieutenant, and even compared him to Qin Hui, the eternal annihilator, it was a great shame.

Liu Daxia roared, took a step forward suddenly, pointed at his halberd and shouted: "You are so daring, you dare to insult the old man like this, you, you, you."

Liu Dabang mallet saw that his eyes were wide open, his beard seemed to be explosive, and he was also a little scared in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "In accordance with the holy decree, looking for Zheng He's chart, Liu Shangshu disobeyed the holy decree, came forward to stop him, and pulled him aside!" ”

At that moment, the two junior colonels stepped forward with their knives, and they came to pull Liu Daxia, Liu Daxia was dressed in martial arts, and he was willing to be controlled by them, he was hairy today, and he had to resist the holy decree. Unexpectedly, as soon as his arms struggled, one of the small school's arms with clear eyebrows became as tough as a snake, and he avoided his strength and wrapped around it, and there was no trace on the numbness of his upper arm, and one arm suddenly lost its strength.

Liu Daxia is skilled in bowing and horses, but the people in the rivers and lakes are not good at short-term kung fu, and this person is really smart, in the eyes of others, he doesn't feel the slightest abnormality at all, but it seems that Liu Daxia is straining his arms upside down and taking the initiative to bind it.

The little colonel did the same, and his other arm lost his strength, and when his arms were sore, his hands were tightly clasped by the pair of little colonels, and he couldn't move.

Liu Daxia had been treated like this for a while, and he was discouraged for a while, only to feel that he was loyal to the Ming court, and he couldn't imagine that once the son of heaven and a courtier, the first emperor's bones were not cold, and the new emperor actually treated his old minister like this. Let's ask this reckless lieutenant, if he doesn't have a righteous and moral command, how can he dare to treat himself like this?

Liu Shangshu burst into tears, and cried dizzily: "That's it, that's it, let go of the old man, the old man will go to see the emperor immediately and return to his hometown!" ”

Liu Dabang mallet was triumphant, glanced at Wu Hanchao, who was pretending to be a small school, and yelled: "Come on, dig three feet into the ground and search for me!" ”

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, was not much better than Liu Daxia, and he returned to the mansion and drew up a list to invite the senior officials of the DPRK and China listed on the list to go home to discuss countermeasures. Then he sat down and wrote a handwritten letter to Han Wen, explaining in detail what happened in Beijing, and telling him to put aside the affairs of the mutual market in northern Xinjiang for the time being, and immediately Pegasus returned to Beijing.

He added fire paint to the secret letter, and before anyone could send it, the emperor's holy decree arrived, and the holy decree said that his country's envoy would come to the court, and the emperor ordered the Honglu Temple to be received according to the tributary system of Annam, Goryeo, Java and other countries that were not levyed, and at the same time, the emperor had decided to set up an ambassador to negotiate with the envoy on the opening of the sea ban and the joint extermination of the Japanese invaders, and mentioned a list of officials from the inner and outer courts to Ma Wen to be promoted and transferred to serve as an envoy.

Ma Wensheng only heard that the envoy of his country came to the Ming Dynasty to meet him, and he knew that something was wrong, and what he was worried about had happened after all, and then looked at the list of officials listed in the holy decree, all of them were in favor of Jiao Fang's faction in favor of lifting the sea ban during the court discussion today, how could such a group of people not do things that lost their power and humiliated the country?

Ma Wensheng categorically refused to follow the order to transfer officials, intending to seek justice from the emperor, the eunuch who passed the decree was yin and yang, cynical and sneering, Ma Wensheng endured his stomach and rushed to the leopard room, but he was eaten behind closed doors, and the emperor did not see it at all.

Ma Wensheng was furious, and shouted to the little yellow door of the arraignment: "Please reply to the emperor, the minister is the secretary of the ministry, and it is the responsibility of the ministry to evaluate and promote officials, there is something wrong with the emperor's appointment of officials, as the secretary of the ministry, he has the right to ask the emperor to discuss again, if the emperor thinks that the opinions of the ministers are not enough to adopt, then what is the use of the ministers of the ministry?" The old minister has been frail and sick in recent years, and he is strong to support himself and work hard for state affairs, if this is the case, please ask the emperor's ministers to cause illness and return to their hometowns! ”

Seeing that Lord Ma was angry, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly slipped away, and after a while, Shi Shiran walked back, and said in a shrill voice: "The emperor said: Lord Ma is old, frail and sickly, I have heard of it very compassionately, and I have allowed it, please go back to the house, wait for the Ministry of Rites to agree on the reward, and then escort him back to his hometown by the Post Office!" ”

Ma Wensheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this little emperor to have such courage, he did such a desperate job, all the old ministers of the Manchu Dynasty resigned, who did he rely on to support the country?

When he woke up, Xiao Huangmen had already turned away, and there were only eight saber captains standing upright at the door of the leopard room, but there was a trace of pity and sympathy in those eyes that seemed to not squint, and they couldn't help but pierce into his heart like needles.

Ma Wensheng let out a breath of turbidity in his chest, he knew: Soon after, he would be like Liu Jian and Xie Qian, standing on the ten-mile long pavilion, saying goodbye to the old people in Beijing, and leaving the court where he once dominated

Yang Ling was half-lying on the chair, his eyes closed slightly, his breathing was slight, as if he had fallen asleep.

Sister Yu'er's waist was slender, and she sat on the corner of the recliner like a willow branch obliquely, a pair of pink and moist little fists gently beat his thighs, and the warm spring light was reflected in the window that was only half open, shining on Yang Ling's body, Yutang Chun's back to the light, highlighting her flawless and delicate curves, and there was an indescribable seductive charm.

After the fan who reported the news finished speaking, quietly waiting for the instructions of the adult, Yang Ling waved his hand lightly after a long time, and said, "Got it, go down."

"Yes!" The head of the fan complied, quietly retreated, and closed the door.

Yutang Chun's eyes were full of waves, his eyes turned wonderfully, he reached out and took a fruit from the porcelain plate resting on the low table next to the couch, and quietly handed it to Yang Ling's lips with two white fingers.

Yang Ling suddenly felt a chill on his lips, and there was a sweet fragrance in his nose, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Yutangchun smiling at him, and his soft facial features had a kind of gentle and slow twisting charm, and he smiled unconsciously and said: "Don't mess around, and wait for the family law again." Do you think your master is playing music? Alas! I haven't slept all night to prepare for today's meeting."

Yutangchun said softly: "The concubine knows, but the concubine is not only tired when she looks at the master, but also seems to be a little unhappy." She was wearing a small blue onion white diagonal silk pattern jacket with rolling silver edges, a silk boot skirt, a string of crystal jade pearl necklaces around her neck, and a touch of concern in her eyes.

Yang Ling chuckled, and with a slight pull, Yutang Chun's delicate and light body gently leaned over him, Yang Ling closed his eyes and said, "Come, feed me the fruit to eat."

Yutang Chun's cheeks were flushed, but he obediently picked up a fruit fruit, gently choked it with his bright cherry-like red lips, and gently leaned it to Yang Ling's lips, Yang Ling slurped, and sucked her soft and light cherry lips, and only after a secret kiss did he let go of Su San, who was panting and delicate.

Yang Ling swallowed the fruit and sighed lightly: "You are hearty, you can see my thoughts, alas! I am indeed a little unhappy, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng are loyal ministers, but they are obviously doing wrong things, but they think they are doing good things for the country and the country. Alas, with such a means, I did feel a little reluctant to go back to my hometown by radically and deceptively squeezing them out."

Yang Ling gently stroked Yutangchun's slender and peugeot, well-proportioned thighs, Yutangchun snuggled meekly in his arms, the skin under the soft and delicate thin skirt, touching the cool, indescribable fragrance was soft and greasy, as if it was thinner than almond tofu, smooth and smooth, and a pleasant feeling passed from Yang Ling's fingertips to his heart.

He closed his eyes and seemed to sleep, but in his mind he remembered a conversation between the two in the study the night before Cheng Qiyun returned to Jiangnan:

"They thought that the unexpectedly 'great court meeting' was the final decisive battle we launched, but they were wrong, this was just 'leading the enemy into the army', and the reason for their victory was that they relied on the last bastion to rely on, and it was the special envoy who worshipped after the court meeting, and as soon as the news came, they were completely defeated.

Despite this, the adults must not be careless, and they must prevent them from coming back, and their strength will be completely defeated, so this last resort is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. Even if these old ministers are as cunning as foxes, they will also think that if we transfer the tiger from the mountain, and transfer some of their leaders out of the capital, we will draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, but we do not know that our real goal is to stay in the capital's right-hand man. ”

Cheng Qiyun sat reclining with her skirt on, her demeanor was natural, and she whispered, like a little girl who picked flowers and braided a crown, clapped her hands and smiled sweetly, which was by no means commensurate with her calm and sharp words, and the candlelight flickered on her pretty face, with a mysterious and moving beauty: "These officials, if they can pull and press, if they can't be pressed, let him go home!" ”

Cheng Qiyun smiled sweetly and said: "My lord has always been soft-hearted, but this time he can't be soft-hearted, and when the people who are transferred out of Beijing return to Beijing in a hurry, the big thing has been accomplished, and the internal aid has been lost, so they can't play any tricks."

"Can't be soft", Yang Ling sighed when he thought of this, and muttered softly: "Liu and Ma are seventy years old and the other is eighty years old, alas! It's time to rest."
