"Haha...... It's really laughing. Zhengde smiled happily: "Duan Aiqing, the reaction of these guys was completely right by you." ”

Guo Zhen smiled flatteringly: "The emperor was really majestic just now, under the thunder and anger, those guys must no longer dare to be verbose." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Guo, things are not so simple, the emperor has not been angry for a long time, and the occasional anger has indeed temporarily suppressed the hundred officials, but Tianmen will soon come back to his senses, after everyone's preparation all night, tomorrow is the saddest, don't be careless, Gonggong Zhang, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that everything is under the control of Lord Duan, and the emperor doesn't have to worry." ”

Zhengde asked happily, "Duan Aiqing, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, that Wang Jinglong is actually right, the situation in Jiangnan is unknown, we can't act rashly, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Jiangnan, presumably a few Japanese robbers can't make any big noise, maybe now they have escaped into the sea or been destroyed, Jinyiwei's information should arrive later, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, the emperor, please rest assured, Wechen's opening of the sea and trade has gone through so many twists and turns, and this small bump is not difficult for Wechen." ”

Zhengde nodded and said, "I believe Duan Aiqing's words, what should I do now?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Before everything is clear, the emperor doesn't need to do anything, as long as he keeps calm, what should he do, just don't go out of the city, when anyone comes to the emperor to blow the wind in his ears, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, ignore them, before tomorrow morning, Weichen will go to the leopard room to meet the emperor first, and inform the emperor of the latest news and response plan." ”

Zhengde said: "Okay, just do it, then I don't care, I will go back to the leopard room now, and you all go out of the palace together." ”

Duan Fei hurried back to Jinyiwei, only to find that the Jinyiwei Jiangnan Intelligence Network had not yet heard the news about the looting of Ningbo by the Japanese Invaders, after all, the eight-hundred-mile expedited intelligence transmission was currently the fastest.

However, Duan Fei was not idle, he immediately flipped through the recent news from Jiangnan, and soon he found some news that was not quite right, in the eight-hundred-mile urgent information, it was said that the Japanese Sect set up a fake Japanese envoy to Ningbo to conduct exploration and trade, but was debunked by the Japanese real envoy Ruizo who came later, and Zongshe was angry and angry, killed Ruizo on the spot, burned his ship, made a big fuss in Ningbo, and then attacked and plundered the city of Shaoxing.

However, the information from Jinyiwei a few days ago showed that Zong Shi had been entertained by the Ningbo City Bo Si Grand Eunuch Lai En at the same time, and Zong Shi held the Kanhe awarded in the early years of Zhengde, which was sent by the Japanese Zuo Jingzhao Doctor Nei Yixing, and Rui Zuo took the old Kanhe issued during the Hongzhi period, which was sent by the Japanese Right Jing Zhao Doctor Gao Gong.

After the implementation of the sea ban in the early Ming Dynasty, only foreign countries were allowed to conduct tributary trade with the Ming court with time and place regulations. Foreign merchant ships came to China with tribute and their own local products, and after the Ming court received the tribute and purchased the goods, it rewarded the Chinese goods needed by foreign merchants in the form of "national gifts". The period of tribute for each country is either 3 years or 5 years. For Japan, it is stipulated that the tribute will be paid for 10 years. Gongbo must have a "conquest" (license visa) issued in advance by the Ming court.

Zhengde has been sitting on the dragon chair for fifteen years, and has already carried out exploration and trade with the Japanese envoys in the early days, and the one that Zong Shi holds in his hand is the one he personally covered with the jade seal, and it stands to reason that the Kanhe that the former emperor Hongzhi originally awarded to the Japanese envoys has long expired and is invalid, why did Ryan accept two Kanhe at the same time, and set up a banquet to invite the two Japanese envoys at the same time? This is obviously unruly, he should confiscate the expired Kanhe on the spot, and send Ruizo back to Japan directly, because Japan is still unified on the surface, and it is impossible for two envoys to appear at the same time, and holding the Kanhe sect is the only legitimate envoy, which is the rule of 'only recognizing Kanhe, not recognizing people' in Kanhe's trade.

Why did the legal Japanese envoys turn into fake Japanese envoys in the latest information? And the legitimates became the real ones? It seems that there is a lot of inside information about this matter.

Duan Fei pondered the few numbers of information repeatedly, trying to get more information from it, but this kind of information that is usually transmitted is quite simple, and it is quite good to be able to find the problem from it, and more detailed details can only wait for new news, if such a big thing happens, it will be quite quick and detailed when there is news, this is one of Duan Fei's requirements for the intelligence agencies at the lower level of Jinyiwei.

Sure enough, at the right time, new information arrived, and from Jiangnan to the capital, it was only about four hours slower than the eight-hundred-mile urgent post transmission, which was already quite fast.

Duan Fei, who was guarding the Jinyi Guard, immediately reviewed the latest information, and the information was indeed much more detailed, and he also gave a detailed description of the cause of this incident, after all, this kind of thing can't be contained in paper.

"Hmph, what a Ningbo City Boss Eunuch Ryan!" Duan Fei clenched his fists, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted: "Come on, go and invite Mr. Ruan and Master Xie to come over!" ”

This night, Jiangnan's intelligence was sent like snowflakes, and Duan Fei, Ruan Xiangshu, and Xie Zhijun, the three heads of Jinyiwei and the think tank, stayed awake all night, and finally made the most appropriate arrangements after obtaining enough information.

At the end of the day, Duan Fei rushed to the leopard room and knocked on the door with a strict ban, Duan Fei did not go directly to the emperor, but invited a small yellow door to call Zhang Rui and Guo Zhen together.

"Lord Duan, you've been busy all night, haven't you? Now that I suddenly came to meet the two of us, could it be that something has something to do with us? "Zhang Rui is worthy of being an old fritter who has gone through countless difficulties, in a word.

Duan Fei said sincerely: "Father-in-law Zhang, thanks to Father-in-law Zhang's support before Duan Fei entered Beijing, I didn't expect the relationship between Duan Fei and his father-in-law to deteriorate sharply after entering Beijing, it is really embarrassing, no matter what Duan Fei did to make Father-in-law Zhang dissatisfied, Duan Fei has to apologize to Father-in-law Zhang today, if he can compensate, Father-in-law Zhang will speak." ”

Zhang Rui frowned and said, "I don't understand Lord Duan's words, there is nothing between us, everyone is serving the emperor, let alone what compensation is, if Lord Duan has anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "Okay, since Grandpa Zhang has a lot of money and doesn't pursue the past, then I'll say it directly, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Guo, this matter in Ningbo is really related to the two of you!" ”

Zhang Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Duan Fei said: "Before I tell the truth of the matter, please ask the two fathers-in-law to promise me one thing, our factory and health are one, and we must work together in this matter to tide over the difficulties!" I wonder if the two of you will agree? ”
