[There will be four watches today]

The emperor said that when the banquet was held, there would naturally be countless people busy.

Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty got up and was about to go to the back room for a small relief, but when he walked to the door, he saw Deng Hailong kneeling on Bai Minghe's knees and giving a big salute.

This action shocked the two great eunuchs, and even more shocked the Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu.

The shock of the white crane can no longer be described in words, China has been a hierarchical society for 5,000 years. Deng Hailong went from a second-grade military attaché to no one in the capital who dared to despise him. And he is almost fifty years old this year, much older than Shira's father in this life.

Such a person kneels to himself, and Bai Minghe doesn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

"Kneel and wait for me to come back!" Zhu Qiyu pushed open the curtain and went to the back room.

Deng Hailong didn't move, and Bai Minghe was even more lying on the ground. Let an elder kneel down for himself, this is to die by himself.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu came back and sat on his throne, but he didn't immediately call the two people up.

"Deng Hailong, are you guilty?" Zhu Qiyu brought up the topic just now, and it was precisely because of this sentence that when Bai Minghe entered the house, he saw Deng Hailong kneeling on the ground, in a cold sweat.

Deng Hailong turned around and knelt down in front of Zhu Qiyu: "Minister, not guilty!" ”

If it was just now, Deng Hailong would definitely have pleaded guilty, but it was because of Bai Minghe's blood that Deng Hailong came to his senses.

Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty was not the first day to be the emperor, how could he not see what Deng Hailong's expression was just now, and what his expression was at this time. He immediately asked, "Then tell me why you are not guilty." ”

"Hooray. According to the Great Ming Law. The minister has three crimes that can be interrogated by the Criminal Department, and two crimes that can be interrogated by Dongchang. But the minister still has to say. The minister is not guilty. After Deng Hailong had an epiphany, the whole person's expression changed. It's no longer the kind of indifferent expression about everything, but a kind of determination.

Zhu Qiyu gently knocked on the imperial case: "I listen to you, if you say it, I will reward you and Bai Minghe with a treasure." If you don't pay attention to it, you will be punished together. Do you still dare to say that you are innocent? ”

Seats! Deng Hailong's firm heart was hesitant, he didn't care about life and death, it didn't mean that he didn't care about the life and death of the white crane.

glanced back at the white crane, but heard the white crane say: "On the sea, only those who believe in their own side can be proud of the huge waves above the sea." Only then can you face a strong enemy and not retreat at all. Since they are comrades-in-arms, they naturally live and die together! ”

At this time, the white crane will definitely not back down, the white crane is afraid of death, but it is not that kind of soft egg.

"The minister is not guilty!" Deng Hailong replied firmly.

"Okay, let's say you're not guilty!" Zhu Qiyu originally had no intention of curing Deng Hailong's crimes. But this Deng Hailong entered Beijing without permission, not to mention that he led a fleet, but it was already a felony for him to enter Beijing without permission. If there is no reason for the emperor, it is impossible for someone to impeach and pardon him.

"There are three charges for which the criminal department can try ministers, one is that officials cannot leave their posts without permission. Second, without an order from the military headquarters, more than 100 people cannot be mobilized unless the enemy attacks. The three privates started a war and killed the important members of the subject country! When Deng Hailong talked about the important members of the subject country, Bai Minghe really didn't understand. Who did they kill.

Deng Hailong continued to report: "According to the trial of the East Factory, it is a felony for the minister to conceal secrets and not report them, and it is also a felony for the minister to secretly participate in commercial affairs as a military officer. ”

"So. Why do you say that you are not guilty? Bai Minghe asked rhetorically.

"Long live, more than 200 people in Guangdong die every year at the hands of the Japanese invaders. The property looted in Guangdong every year is worth at least 100,000 taels of silver. A thousand households in Guangdong are no match for a team of thirty or fifty people, and a boat shared by two hundred sails and oars in Guangdong cannot be surrounded by ten thousand or ten sails. Chen's father died at the hands of the Wakos. There are more than 1,000 warships under his subordinates, and 100,000 soldiers. It's been thirteen years, and the ministers can't erect a monument to my father for thirteen years. ”

In Bai Minghe's impression, Deng Hailong, whose face would never have an expression, was just trembling with excitement.

"Why?" Zhu Qiyu didn't understand when Da Ming was weak to this Cheng dù.

"Hooray!" Xing'an stood up, bowed deeply, and asked for a chance to speak.

"Okay, you speak!" Zhu Qiyu gave Xing'an a chance to speak.

Xing'an gave another salute: "The number of people who die in Guangdong every year is more than Deng said, and last year alone, more than 400 young women were snatched by the Japanese people. The 100,000 taels of property stolen is just a conservative number, and Master Deng is also too worried about long live. ”

Deng Hailong gritted his teeth tightly and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Xing'an continued: "As for saying that one person and a thousand households cannot defeat thirty or fifty widows. Not because the Ming army was weak, but because there was no medicine for the wounds and no mercy for the dead. The guards in Guangdong only have more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, and if there is only the army, the navy has no money to repair it since the early years of orthodoxy after the imperial court no longer allocated silver. Going to sea to fight, the ship was injured and there was no money to repair it. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, that is to say, the Guangdong Metropolitan Yamen used the income of the entire guard to feed the entire fleet. Zhu Qiyu didn't know how much silver it would cost to feed a fleet, but looking at the faded official uniform on Deng Hailong's body, it would not be easy to think about it.

"Why do you say that you are not guilty?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"There is no greed, the ministers are bold, the upper is loyal to Long live, and the lower is very caring for the Guangdong army."

The white name crane said in his heart, this reason is not valid, you are still guilty.

The law is the law. Besides, it is nothing more than human feelings, but the law is the law, at least that's what Bai Minghe thinks in his heart.

But the next scene gave Bai Minghe a new understanding of Da Ming Law.

I only saw that Zhu Qiyu gave Xing'an a look, and Xing'an, who won the emperor's heart, immediately stood up:"

"Long live, according to the first volume of Taizu's teachings, the three treatises on governing the Tao, filial piety, and the country; According to the third volume of Taizu's teachings, there are two treatises on benevolent officials and diligent people; According to the fourth volume of Taizu, the three treatises on abstaining from luxury, lizhong festival, and benevolent government. According to the six volumes, armament, control of the spade, debate the evil and the right, and the four theories of pragmatism. Deng Hailong, the governor of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division and the Governor of the Navy, is more meritorious than meritorious! ”

Xing'an is talking about transgression, not sin.

"One of the minor mistakes, Deng Hailong is long lived, and he lacks the virtue of persuasion. The second is that Deng Hailong is a son of man, and he should be responsible for not erecting a monument for his father for thirteen years. But when I thought of the revenge, I didn't take revenge, and there was something related to the affairs of the family, so I could be blamed. The slave thinks that there is a lot of merit, but it is not worth it. Ten of the rods! "As far as the Admiral of the East Factory in Xing'an is concerned, he speaks at this time with a judge-like identity.

The white crane head is not enough, and it is completely blinded.

What is this? This is talking about the law, or about human feelings, or about the Taizu training is higher than the law.

What is it to hit the board ten times, this is a military general like Deng Hailong who can deal with it with a smile, and it is not a small body like a white crane that is not blown by the wind.

And when it comes to crimes, the biggest one is to accuse Deng Hailong of not erecting a monument to his father. This is a mistake of unfilial piety, not a great sin of transferring troops without permission. Is this a face for himself as a white crane, or is it really like this?

What Shirana Crane thinks is actually complicated.

The Ming Dynasty itself is a society where love is greater than reason, and filial piety is greater than law.

As long as Bai Minghe still can't figure it out until now, why did Deng Hailong give himself such a heavy gift?

It's not easy to ask, Deng Hailong has already been sent out to play the board.

However, Zhu Qiyu's words solved half of Bai Minghe's doubts, and Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said to Bai Minghe: "A general, a general who has been killed for a long time, mourns more than death." Even if there are some mistakes, he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, loyal to me, and I have the world in mind! ”

Bai Minghe understood half of it, that is, Deng Hailong must have had something terrible happen before.

But I still didn't understand the real reason for the big salute, but I only vaguely guessed something.

However, the other half of the meaning of the Ming Emperor's words Bai Minghe understood, loyal people can live a long time, and some small mistakes are not intolerable, but there is a limit to learning.

Deng Hailong was put out to play the board, this is to sue the white crane, and he will definitely be cleaned up after the limit.

It's a real banquet, and the food is not bad, but it's a pity that this is the palace, so I don't dare to let go of it.

After leaving the palace, Bai Minghe was sent back to the house directly, and Deng Hailong was asked to return to Tianjin to restrain his subordinates. If you give birth to the slightest mess, you will be severely responsible.

When he left the palace gate, Xing'an patted the gift that the Ming Emperor gave to the white crane: "The white crane, the miscellaneous family wants to sue you." This time, I don't want to say that Lord Banzai values you, it's just this gift. You're going to do the affairs of Nine Towns to Banzai beautifully, in your own words, you can't lose face! ”

"Long live no reward, I have to work hard."

Xing'an smiled, but Bai Minghe was very good at talking, and easily stuffed a note into Bai Minghe's collar. Because the white crane is still holding the reward of long live, it is natural that his hand cannot be released.

"Let's go back!"

When the white crane returned to the house, it was already dark. But Yu Qian and the others not only did not leave, Yu Qian also personally asked Bai An to prepare dinner for him, not asking for a sumptuous meal, as long as he could eat enough.

Yu Qian has to wait for the white crane, and there are some things that are not promised by the white crane himself, and Yu Qian is not at ease.

The white crane came back, and it was actually two swords with him.

One is famous and famous, and it can even be said that in addition to the ethereal, legend-like Xuanyuan Divine Sword. The first divine soldier of the Chinese land, in the legend of the Ming Dynasty, this sword is a sword that will automatically choose the master with spirituality, and it is also an allusion to the rise and fall of the dynasty.

The moment he saw Zhan Lujian, even the calm Yu Qian didn't make up his mind.

Zhan Lu is now, the world is prosperous!

And the other sword, but Bai Minghe can't be calm, even if the fame can't be compared with Zhan Lu, but this sword has extraordinary significance to him. Because of the name of this sword: Juque. (To be continued......)
