Four months later, Lu Bing received an edict from Zhu Houxi, in which it can be seen that Zhu Houyu was very angry, and he must privately transfer troops and horses to regard complicity in rebellion, although no one in the court dared to say it, and most of them applauded, but this was indeed an offense to the emperor's prestige and power, and it was quite unfavorable to his future rule.

But to Lu Bing's surprise, Emperor Jiajing did not let him return to Beijing quickly, according to Lu Bing's idea, Zhu Houyu should let him go back immediately, and then he went to the south to talk about going to the south, and finally Zhu Houxi approved this request.

But in fact, in addition to reprimanding Lu Bing, Zhu Houxi took the initiative to ask Lu Bing to go to the south to assist in the adjustment of officials in the imperial court. The second is the matter of the ban on the sea, prohibiting trade with overseas, only allowing entry in the form of tribute, not allowing private transactions, once it is found to be expelled from the country, and strictly inspecting the belongings of the tributary team, not to carry weapons or any sharp weapons with lethal properties.

Lu Bing was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly found Qi Jingtong and others to discuss, and secretly scolded in his heart that he didn't know who Lu Dao was in the middle of the court, this is the prelude to closing the country, what needs to be done to defend against foreign enemies is to increase his own strength, and respond to all provocations with a tough attitude, so that the territory of Lu Dao is inviolable, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. It is by no means forbidden to do business with foreigners as it is now, so it is necessary to strengthen the coastal defense, and the most effective way is that Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, is "not allowed to go to the sea by an inch". What Lu Bing was most afraid of was that the local officials would be like this, so he discussed with everyone that he wanted to rush to the south as soon as possible to supervise the investigation of the matter.

In this day and age, there is no radar and no air force. It is even more impossible to station troops on various small islands to achieve the effect of coastal defense, and the only way can only be to strictly defend the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water. The fishermen on the coast depend on fishing for their livelihood, and now the sea is banned. Fishermen can't go to the sea to fish, for fear that the people will have no livelihood. At that time, it is difficult to predict the consequences of the official forcing the people, so the issuance of this order is a big stupid move in Lu Bing's view.

Zhu Houxi has a stubborn personality and is extremely good-looking, he has already made a decision on this matter, Lu Bing knows that it is difficult to change it anymore, since the fight against Emperor Taizu Gao, to the end of the sea ban by Emperor Yongle, it is now going to be activated again.

Lu Bing carried out the last raid on Japan. Those few rich people in Japan were looted, and the four months of tax revenue made Lu Bing understand how powerful a country is, because Japan can still have such a financial income in a poor and narrow country, let alone a Ming Dynasty with a large land and resources. It's just that Lu Bing is temporarily administering Japan, and most of the money is only in and out, and he is also giving out some military salaries and rewards, and he does not seek government in his position, and if he really wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, he will also need a lot of expenses, including construction projects, disaster relief funds, and bureaucratic salaries. Sometimes the money from the tax is not enough.

In short, Lu Bing's trip was filled with a full warehouse, the bottom warehouse of the Fu ship was completely filled, and the waterline dropped a lot, reaching the marked position. The ship was loaded with food, money, jewelry, jade, blades, calligraphy and paintings, and so on. Towards the Ming Dynasty to ride the wind and waves. Such a big change in the south was expected by Lu Bing, because Lu Bing used a trick, that is, to order Wan'er Wan to poison him. Anyone who has anything to do with the Southern Powerful Group will be poisoned regardless of whether they are indiscriminate.

Wan Er Wan is a miracle doctor in the world, and to cure diseases and save people, you need to learn to detoxify. To detoxify foreign poisons and detoxify the self-produced poisons in the human body, you must first learn to use toxins. Therefore, Wan'erwan's ability to poison is actually more powerful than his ability to cure diseases. Zhu Houzhao of the southern tour of the Son of Heaven did not completely adjust the strength of the south, and Zhu Houxi, who sent Lu Bing to the southern tour, also did not succeed, and now the only way to do this is to let these officials retreat, so that they can be replaced most directly and thoroughly, so Lu Bing chose to poison.

For a time, many southern officials vomited and diarrhea and couldn't get up at all, a few weak ones died within a few days, and the rest didn't expect to be able to work at all, and the southern group of powerful officials was all paralyzed. Zhu Houxi was overjoyed when he heard the news, seized this opportunity, and successively sent Beijing officials and new science and technology jinshi to serve in various places in the south.

Poisoning is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult, first of all, the official achieves a certain position, not what the people want to see, so it takes a martial arts master to complete the poisoning without knowing it, which is also simple for a light master to do it with a poison doctor, but it is not. The dose of poisoning is difficult to grasp, which requires the poisoner to poison himself, first of all, to observe the person who has been poisoned, whether he has a hidden disease or is now sick, but also to pay attention to the food and drink in his kitchen, whether there is something conflicting. The purpose of this troublesome work is to poison these people, not to kill them immediately.

There are several reasons for this, the first is that at the beginning of the poisoning, he can still stick to the office, and will not completely paralyze the country, leaving a little room for the arrival of alternate officials.

Secondly, illness is at most a natural and man-made disaster, and the same is true of poisoning, even if you want to say anything, it is just a rumor, and it cannot become a sudden point of contradiction at all. But if a large number of officials die, then it will be necessary to investigate carefully, not to mention Lu Bing, even Zhu Houyu can't afford it, and the southern forces will definitely fight back, of course, Zhu Houyu at this time still doesn't know that Lu Bing did all this.

Third, Lu Bing wanted Wan'er Wan to keep their lives in order to add fun to Wan Erwan, and it was very simple to kill a person, only life was better than death in order to make Wan'er Wan, a strange old man, get the pleasure of being bad, and he was willing to continue to do it. Wan'er Wan wanted to follow Lu Bing on the expedition, worried that Chao Yu and Zheng Mingchuan would be unfavorable to Lu Bing, but when Lu Bing comforted Wan Erwan and said that the two parties had interests and would not harm their lives, Lu Bing said such a poisonous thing again, Wan Erwan's eyes wandered, and then he kept smiling evilly, which seriously aroused the interest of this old child.

The last point, the poison of Wan'er Wanxia is extremely important, and it is made of sixteen insects, if you don't know the way of this medicine, you can't detoxify, in other words, this poison can only be solved by Wan'er. All artists are always a little competitive, and Lu Bing wants to use this competitiveness to lure out another master of poisoning and poisoning Zhu Houzhao. When that man saw that there was such a difficult poison in the world, he would definitely come out to detoxify or explore the antidote, as long as he caught him, he would be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Based on the above reasons, Lu Bing did this poisonous thing that the world despised, and of course he would not let the world know about it. Lu Bing returned to Songjiang Mansion with his fleet, and after landing in Songjiang Mansion, a large group of soldiers went ashore, and the new local officials went to greet him, and issued a holy decree, appointing Lu Bing as the messenger, acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, supervising and managing southern affairs, and supervising the implementation of the maritime ban.

Lu Bing was welcomed into the restaurant, and the Beijing officials and new officials who had just arrived in the south held a feast for Lu Bing to wash the dust, and began to praise Lu Bing for how to use it, and the Japanese soldiers he killed did not leave behind, etc., as if they had seen it with their own eyes, it was full of empty sycophants.

Lu Bing doesn't mind, this is the rule of survival in officialdom, he is so loved by the emperor that he often pats others on the back, not to mention others, this is unavoidable. While eating and drinking, they talked about the fact that many officials were sick one after another, and everyone called this matter very evil, as if they had made an appointment to get sick together. But looking at the uncomfortable appearance of those officials, I knew that this was by no means pretended.

Lu Bing was just about to open his mouth to say a few words, Wei He walked in in with a panicked expression, and whispered a few words in Lu Bing's ear, Lu Bing nodded and ordered Wei He to go down, and he took the wine glass and drank it all. The noisy wine table fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone looked at Lu Bing, who had a gloomy face, and didn't dare to speak, for fear of annoying this powerful person.

After a long time, someone timidly asked, "Lord Lu, but what happened?" ”

Lu Bing nodded and sighed, "Yang Tinghe retreated." Then, in an instant, Ha Lu laughed.

Everyone was stunned and immediately understood that it might be Yang Tinghe's resignation, the emperor approved, since the beginning of the first year of Jiajing, Yang Tinghe has been asking for resignation, as a result, Jiajing has been retaining three or four times, Yang Tinghe can only continue to play his residual heat conscientiously in his position, but after a year, the emperor actually approved this time, Yang Tinghe abdicated.

Most of the officials at the banquet were from the capital, even if they were not from the capital, they knew the contradiction between Yang Tinghe and the current saint, and Lu Bing was a person from the emperor's side.

Lu Bing smiled and tears came out, and he was sad for Yang Tinghe. It has been almost two years since Lu Bing left the capital since he left Beijing to exterminate the thieves and recruit the bandits, and then to train recruits to build warships and hoard food, and finally helped Ryukyu to go to Dongying, Lu Bing has left the capital for almost two years, and time has passed in a hurry, and Lu Bing can imagine how tormented Yang Tinghe is.

According to Lu Bing's knowledge when he was in the Wadi, Yang Tinghe's suggestions were always rejected by the emperor, and he sneered at Yang Tinghe in a roundabout way, but on the surface, he respected Yang Tinghe very much, which made people unreasonable. After Yang Tinghe and Lu Bing talked, he had the idea of retiring, and he didn't fight with the emperor anymore, but just did his job well and said things worthy of his conscience, no matter whether the emperor could agree to his suggestions one by one, Yang Tinghe at least did his duty with a clear conscience.

Seeing Yang Tinghe, who had no fighting spirit, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi not only did not let him go, but pursued him with victory, and kept humiliating Yang Tinghe in all aspects, who has a good relationship with you, recall, who do you protect, and defend the border, what suggestions do you make, I have to think twice. In short, if Lu Bing sums up Yang Tinghe's more than a year and nearly two years, there are just two words, nest.

Lu Bing listened to the laughter of the people around him, touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, and the officials at the wine table thought that Lu Bing was crying with joy, and wanted to congratulate him a few times, but he heard Lu Bing say: "After being in charge for three years, pigs and dogs are suspicious, a generation of famous ministers Yang Tinghe has been mixed in the court for decades, and has been in charge for more than ten years, but he ended up like this, if there is no Yang Tinghe, I am afraid that the world will not be sure who it is." It is difficult for Zhu Houxi's small belly chicken intestines to become a big thing, so this is really the sorrow of my Ming Dynasty and the sorrow of my Ming courtiers! ”

After Lu Bing finished speaking, he slammed the wine glass on the table, stood up and brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued......)
