Zhang Yan also seemed to feel that what she said just now was very ambiguous, but after explaining it, it became darker and darker, so she ran away with a crimson face.

In fact, Na Haonan wanted to save Zhu Youxiao in his heart, so that he could change history.

But thinking of Zhang Yan, returning such a beauty to Zhu Youxiao is not happy for Deng Haonan.

So, Di Haonan came up with the best of both worlds.

Now that Zhu Youxiao is addicted to immortal medicine, he simply let him be bedridden and hang with half his life.

As an artillery expert, Na Haonan's use of chemical agents is simply a treasure, and with the help of the most primitive tools, Mu Haonan can also make spiritual preparations.

In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced North American Indian pipes and tobacco leaves to the Ming Dynasty through Guò Taiwan, and the Ming began to have smokers. Its extensive course spread from the time of the Apocalypse, to the panic of the rulers. The first to order a ban on smoking was Emperor Chongjiao, mainly because he absorbed the teachings of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse who died by eating immortal medicine.

However, it was he who banned tobacco and prevented the outflow of silver, leading some people to mix opium into tobacco and smoke it. Unexpectedly, the ban on tobacco led to the proliferation of pure opium.

Zhu Youxiao ate the immortal medicine opium, but the effect was not obvious, so Deng Haonan made a pipe and mixed the pure opium that had been purified by him into the tobacco to replace the immortal medicine that Wei Zhongxian gave to Zhu Youxiao. However, although this kind of thing can restrain the addiction of immortal medicine, just as Westerners use heroin to quit opium addiction, it eventually aggravates drug addiction.

Deng Haonan didn't want Zhu Youxiao to hang up early, so while he made Zhu Youxiao smoke, he also prepared spiritual preparations containing mandala pollen and gastrodia for Zhu Youxiao. Mandala is highly poisonous, as a poison to fight poison, has a restraining effect on opium, and can alleviate the fatal damage caused by smoke to the body. However, as a spiritual agent, the mandala will consume a lot of energy from the central nervous system, so that Zhu Youxiao will fall into an anesthetic coma after smoking a big cigarette and being excited for a while.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao was sleepy except for smoking a lot, and his dependence on Deng Haonan did not have to be worse than Wei Zhongxian. And Deng Haonan will take advantage of this convenience to slowly win Zhang Yan's favor, create more opportunities to get along with Zhang Yan, and sooner or later realize the great plan of abducting the queen.

Emperor Tianqi only smoked three minutes of sobriety every day, and Zhu Youxiao was very grateful to Di Haonan for saving his life by offering immortal medicine.

"Why is Aiqing in a hurry to leave Beijing?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was lying on the bed, puffing out smoke rings, and asked Deng Haonan.

"Your Majesty!" Deng Haonan said: "Wechen is a Xinjiang minister, and now he has been stationed in Gyeonggi for almost a month, and Yu Li is not in agreement, and now the eunuch party is pacified, and the emperor is safe, so Wechen must go back to the border!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse is now very dependent on Na Haonan, and the immortal medicine offered by Deng Haonan greatly alleviated his illness, and now Deng Haonan obviously did not stay in Beijing, and he wanted to blackmail the emperor, and he regarded him as a loyal minister. This time, Deng Haonan took the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of troops, which made Zhu Youxiao's doubts dissipate.

"Aiqing returns to Liaodong, the elixir of Nalian"

Na Haonan said with a smile: "Although it is difficult to get the immortal medicine, Weichen promised the emperor that he would do his best to collect it, and then present it to the emperor!" small

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, so he said: "The Union is now inseparable from Aiqing, although the eunuch party has been swept away, the remnants are still there." Only if Aiqing stays in the DPRK, can the United be at ease! ”

Zhu Youxiao said this, which was exactly in line with Deng Haonan's mind. Na Haonan originally took retreat as advance, but now Zhu Youxiao took the initiative to ask him to stay. Rejoice in your heart. However, none of the emperors were given for free, and Di Haonan was still careful.

"The emperor values the micro-ministers so much, and the micro-ministers are terrified." Di Haonan secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and saw that he was enjoying smoking, so he continued: "It's just that the threat of Jiannu in the north is still there, and the southern Haikou is still eyeing Daming, and Weichen needs to go back to deal with it, so as to protect Daming's safety and protect the emperor's indefatigable foundation!" ”

"Well, that's a good point!" Zhu Youxiao nodded with great satisfaction and said, "It's really a great fortune to have a loyal minister like Aiqing!" ”

"Wechen is terrified!"

"I hope Aiqing can stay in the capital!"

"I'm afraid this is not in line with the DPRK"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "There is a way!" ”

Then Zhu Youxiao announced that the civil and military officials entered the palace and promulgated new appointments.

Huang Liji is a scholar of the Intermediate Palace, leads the cabinet, and also serves as a part-time minister. Li Guo entered the cabinet, added a feudal palace scholar, and was also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. Lai Zongdao entered the cabinet, and was crowned a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and concurrently served as a scholar of the Ministry of Engineering. Ye Xianggao entered the cabinet, was crowned a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and concurrently served as a scholar of the household department. The governor and the imperial history king just entered the cabinet, and was crowned a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and a part-time secretary of the criminal department.

Then a whole bunch of officials were appointed. Governor of the Imperial History Bi Zisu, Governor of the Imperial History Wang Yuanya, Governor He Tianqiu, Governor Ji Liao Imperial History Liu Ce, Governor of the Imperial History Sun Yuanhua, Governor of the Imperial History Yan Jizu and so on.

And Deng Haonan's opponent Gu Bingqian was only kicked out of the cabinet, but he was appointed as the governor of the Imperial Procuratorate, which made Deng Haonan very puzzled. However, soon the same among the joints.

The eunuch party was pacified, and Huang Liji's family was large, although the scale was far less than that of the Donglin Party. However, Zhu Youxiao had to take precautions, so he continued to keep Huang Liji and Di Haonan's opponent Gu Bingqian and ordered him to serve as the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to contain him.

Although Huang Liji was a hundred unwilling, he could not deny Zhu Youxiao's will.

However, the cabinet should be six" There is still one cabinet minister missing. In addition, the Xiu Xiu was ambushed, and the military department was vacant.

So Huang Liji asked: "Your Majesty, there is still a cabinet minister and a secretary of the military department, I don't know if the emperor has a suitable candidate in his heart!" ”

Zhu Sifu cried and took a deep puff of smoke. Said! , Di Aiqing saved Jiang's life. The association deserves a reward! It's better for Deng Aiqing to be wronged and serve as the secretary of the military department! ”

When the ministers heard this, they were shocked and asked Deng Haonan to serve as the secretary of the military department, which was a key department. In particular, Na Haonan is a minister of Xinjiang, holding a heavy army, if he is in charge of the military department again, it will not be to control the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did Bingqian and others who had been against Deng Haonan collectively oppose it, but Huang Liji and others also shook their heads vigorously.

"I didn't ask for your opinion! small

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, the ministers immediately shook their heads and sighed.

Di Haonan saw this qiē in his eyes. Just as Zhao Shizhen thinks about himself, his current prestige is not enough to impress the Manchu civil and military forces, if he sits in the position of the secretary of the military department, it is estimated that he will make too many enemies and become a thorn in the eyes of everyone. Not cost-effective!

Na Haonan weighed the pros and cons, so he said: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his favor!" Please forgive Weichen for his courage, Weichen does not dare to accept this position, please forgive the emperor! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded, very satisfied with Na Haonan's excuse. Although he hoped that Deng Haonan would stay, he would not let Di Haonan achieve the position of the secretary of the military department. This was just another temptation on his part.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao changed his mind.

"Since that's the case, then the alliance doesn't force it!"

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, so he said: "However, Aiqing's credit cannot be buried, and Lian also hopes that Aiqing can stay in Beijing." It's better for Wang Qia to be the secretary of the military department. Deng Aiqing received the book of the Criminal Department, and the scholar of Kadong Pavilion University is good! ”

Everyone was speechless again, secretly begging Zhu Youxiao's brain to be watered. Only Na Haonan knows that this girl is smoking a big cigarette and getting drunk.

"Your Majesty!" Di Haonan hurriedly said: "Weichen is not good at rational punishment, this criminal department Shangshu really can't afford it!" In addition, the scholar of the East Pavilion University, Wei Chen is terrified."

Ya, get Lao Tzu to the Criminal Department, and you can't think of it? That scholar of Dongge University in Raushzi is even worse. It is equivalent to the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in later generations and a super postdoctoral. Although he is the last cabinet minister, he is a cabinet minister with the right to vote!

Good boy! What's your idea?

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry! Are all officials made? Take your time, there will be time later! If you don't understand something, you can ask other ministers, and if you don't come to ask Lianlian, it's okay."

What a nonsense! Huang Liji finally couldn't help it!

said directly: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jinghai is Yaochen, who is not good at punishment, and asks the emperor to take back his fate!" ”

Na Haonan frowned, and finally sensed the taste.

Feelings Zhu Youxiao This is deliberate, to do it for himself as a Beijing official, on the surface, it seems that he is leaving him in Beijing. However, it is obvious that Huang Liji and they do not approve of it, and they oppose it again and again.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao provoked the discord between Huang Liji and Deng Haonan and divided the relationship between the two.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Di Haonan to enter the cabinet, obviously with the purpose of containing Huang Liji. After all, Gu Bingqian is no longer in the cabinet, Huang Liji's family is dominant, and Zhu Youxiao is naturally jealous, afraid that there will be another Donglin Party.

Good for you, Zhu Youxiao, lying sick in bed, your brain is still very shrewd.

Na Haonan calculated in his heart, if he wanted to really reassure Zhu Youxiao, he could only go against Huang Liji. The two are not in harmony, and mutual containment is what Zhu Youxiao wants.

So he said: "Weichen is grateful!" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Youxiao was very happy and said: "Aiqing really has a deep heart, then it's so decided!" ”

"The Emperor"

Huang Liji and the others were still waiting to object, and Zhu Youxiao's face sank.

"The joint intention has been decided! Aiqing's mother must say more! ”

Huang Liji sighed. It's so angry, but there's no way around it. Suddenly, Huang Liji seemed to figure out the holy will.

Could it be that the emperor wants to eliminate Deng Haonan's military power? Let Deng Haonan transfer to civilian work, away from his cronies.

The more Huang Liji thought about it, the more likely it became, so he tentatively said: "It's just that in this way, Jinghai Hou stays in Jingshi, so how will Liaodong Mansion and Taiwan Mansion deal with it?" ”

"Naturally, another official governor will be sent!" Zhu Youxiao blurted out, and then said with a bright smile: "What's this, the union means that since Deng Aiqing is in Beijing, then the Liaodong Mansion and the Taiwan Mansion will be handed over to the governor who Aiqing thinks is suitable!" ”

Zhu Youxiao almost slipped his mouth, although he didn't doubt that Deng Haonan would rebel, but as a king, he still didn't want to see a powerful warlord like Deng Haonan! originally thought that he would cut off Na Haonan's military power at once, and let Deng Haonan obediently stay by his side as a civil servant. However, thinking that it would be too stimulating for Deng Haonan, he chose a step-by-step method to slowly cut Deng Haonan's military power.

Huang Liji suddenly understood what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant, and secretly sighed that the emperor was powerful. However, he never thought that Zhu Youxiao was worried about Deng Haonan, and he was even more worried about him, the first auxiliary minister. It's just that Huang Liji is in the mountains, and the clouds are deep and he doesn't know where.

The so-called authorities are fans, but they do not include Deng Haonan.

Di Haonan secretly said in his heart: Zhu Youxiao, who is Ya, actually played a trick on Lao Tzu and Sun Quan's strategy to recruit his son-in-law and abduct Liu Bei.

Na Haonan understood Zhu Youxiao's plan in his heart, but it didn't work for him at the moment. According to Na Haonan's judgment, Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to harm him at all, but just wanted to keep him.

In Deng Haonan's heart, there is no intention to replace Daming, and the power of Deng Haonan's group is not in the mainland at present. did not threaten Zhu Youxiao's country, so Di Haonan was not afraid.

There is a way that Zhou Yu has a clever plan to calm the world, and he lost his wife and soldiers.

Na Haonan smiled secretly in his heart, you want to leave Lao Tzu in the capital, here

"Emperor Xie!"

Zhu Youxiao smoked and gradually got drunk, so he said: "I'm tired!" Stand down! ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

The ministers retired and left the main hall. The ministers congratulated Deng Haonan on his promotion to the rank of scholar of the Criminal Department and scholar of the East Pavilion, many of whom were flattering, and many officials knew that Deng Haonan had saved the emperor's life. There are also many officials who are pretending to flatter, and among them belong to Gu Bingqian's party, and when they speak, they are full of gunpowder.

"Congratulations to the Hou Ye for entering the cabinet, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty in the future!"

"Rejoice! Rejoice! Di Haonan returned the salute one by one and smiled.

Huang Liji came to Deng Haonan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Hou Ye on his promotion to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and I will ask Hou Ye to support the old man's decision-making in the future!" ”

"As it should be!" Deng Haonan said with a smile: "Ben Hou has just arrived, if there is anything to offend, I hope that Lord Shoufu Haihan!" ”

Huang Liji didn't smile, originally Na Haonan had no conflict of interest with him, but now Deng Haonan entered the cabinet and took away part of his rights, which naturally made him unhappy.

"Your Excellency has won a prize!"

The two complimented each other and then went their separate ways.

※※

The ministers left, and Tang Jing entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty!"

With a soft call, Zhu Youxiao opened his tired eyes. The words and bothering just now made his body and energy basically overdrawn.

"How's it going? What was their expression like when they went out? ”

Tang Jing replied: "As the emperor expected, Lord Huang is very unfriendly to Lord Di, and he is not smiling, and it is estimated that Lord Deng has been listed as a hostile opponent!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said groggyly: "What about Hao Nan?" ”

Tang Jing said: "Lord Deng is nothing special! But isn't it inappropriate to let that adult enter the cabinet and serve as the secretary of the criminal department! small

Zhu Youxiao nodded, very tired. However, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with today's arrangement.

Although Deng Haonan did not have the heart to rebel, after all, Zhu Youxiao said: "Keeping him in the capital now can neither make him feel despised nor let him control the military power." At the same time, it must also be able to contain Huang Liji's party. ”

"The emperor is wise!" Tang Jing said: "It's just that even if that Haonan is not in Liaodong, he still controls Liaodong by remote control, and he can't cut off his military power!" ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Lian didn't plan to really cut off his military power, after all, Deng Haonan didn't use a penny of money from the imperial court, but he helped the imperial court block Jiannu and pacify the southern Haikou, if Lian cut his military power, then his subordinates have no one to control him, what if he makes trouble?" ”

Tang Jing asked suspiciously: "What is the emperor's intention in keeping him in the capital?" ”

Zhu Youxiao was a little tired, his eyelids were only half open, but he said happily: "Lian doesn't believe that his subordinates are all monolithic, Lian can wait, one year does not achieve two years, two years does not achieve five years, there must be people among his subordinates who are greedy for glory and wealth, and when the time comes, won't Lian get an elite army for nothing?" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Tang Jing secretly sighed at Zhu Youxiao's shrewdness.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Tang Jing and said, "Lian handed over the Jinyi Guard to you, you must handle these things carefully!" ”

It turned out that Tang Jing had changed from the former general of the Jinyi Guard to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and became Zhu Youxiao's eyes and ears.

"Wechen obeys!" Tang Jing said: "It's just that Weichen sent Jinyi Wei to Liaodong?" ”

"No need!" Zhu Youxiao said: "Deng Haonan's Liaodong Army cannot affect the Ming Dynasty overseas, and if it is stationed in Jinyiwei, it will seem to be a small family." Deng Haonan has a life-saving grace in the United States, unless he rebels, the United can't touch him, so it is difficult to explain to the people of the world! ”

Tang Jing nodded and said, "Weichen understands!" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "It's okay to spy on him secretly, but you can't disturb him, if something is reported to Lian, it will be handled by Lian."

"Wechen obeys!" Tang Jing took the order. Zhu Youxiao's spirit was very tired, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, but he still insisted on it and asked, "Has Wei Zhongxian's matter been interrogated?"

"Wechen is incompetent! No results! Tang Jing said: "But Weichen got another clue!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"Enlighten the Emperor". Tang Jing said, "The assassin has already spoken, and he is a member of the White Lotus Sect. ”

"White Lotus Sect?" Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked, "What does the White Lotus Sect have to do with Wei Zhongxian?"

Tang Jing shook his head and said, "The identity of the assassin that Wei Chen rescued is too low to know more information, but what is certain is that the White Lotus Sect wants to save Wei Zhongxian out!" ”

It turned out that the assassins were not all dead, but there was still one alive. Tang Jing deliberately released the news that the assassins were all dead, because he was afraid that the assassins would instigate murder behind the scenes.

"Did a group of people find out?

Tang Jing shook his head and said, "Both groups of people are here to save Wei Zhongxian, but the other group of people are well-trained and are all dead soldiers, so they can't find out."

Then, Tang Jing said again: "However, Wei Chen also got a piece of news from his mouth, that is, the people of the White Lotus Sect have been secretly monitoring Lord Deng's every move.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up and asked, "What do you mean Deng Haonan might know?"

Tang Jing nodded, noncommittal.

Congratulations to the book friend for becoming the fourth helmsman of this book, thank you again! ，C
