A cadre of officials and ministers hugged Yang Side, Zhou Mubai laughed dryly, and wandered around with his hands behind his back, he Yang Side is a cabinet scholar, and he also leads the military department, so naturally he is not lively, but it is no wonder that others treat him so slowly, thinking that when he was a Han general, wouldn't it also tend to be inflammatory?

He slowly paced and secretly observed the village, only to find that there seemed to be two strong men behind him lightly followed, and when he turned around, he looked away, thinking that those adults must not be at ease with him, only when he was a spy of the king of Burma came to inquire about the news, he continued to walk a few steps forward, only to see that there were more than 100 craftsmen building mud walls in the east of the village, and a tall wooden barrel was placed on the side, the barrel was full of mud mixed with pebbles and gravel, and someone was holding a shovel and constantly stirring, On the other side, someone first used bricks and stones to build the wall, and some masons evenly smeared the wall with mud, and the whole wall was nearly two feet high, and the thickness was more than four feet.

Zhou Mubai's heart moved, did he want to learn his Taizu's strategy of building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king? He couldn't help but shake his head: "Mistakes, mistakes, you need to know that the former Ming Emperor has become the target of the public, the top priority is not to defend but to attack, and to take advantage of the fact that the Qing army was dragged by Li Dingguo to quickly occupy the widely praised Nanyang as a base is the best way, how long can you defend blindly?" ”

He was about to go forward to see the strange mud, but he was stopped by two strong men who were following him, and one of them said: "Grandpa Mu has an order, Gongzi Zhou is a guest from afar, and he should go to the guest room to rest." ”

Zhou Mubai paused, he inevitably despised Mu Tianbo, he had heard that Grandpa Mu was a character for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would be so petty, it was just some mud, and he couldn't even look at it. In fact, what he didn't know was that this order was given by Zhu Jun, and this mud would become famous all over the world a year later and become a work of heaven in the eyes of the world.

Zhou Mubai lost his interest, and let the two strong men lead to a stone house, which was obviously newly built, with an ugly appearance, neither the elaborate carvings of the wooden courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, nor the atmosphere of the brick houses in the north, but the mud of Fangcai was smeared on the outside of the bricks, probably because of the new construction, and it also exuded a strange smell, which made Zhou Mubai can't help but shake his head.

Someone served tea to Zhou Mubai, and Zhou Mubai didn't have any thoughts, so he stomped a few steps in the house, and finally an official walked in and said loudly: "Is this Zhou Mubai, the Han general of Burma?" ”

Zhou Mubai arched his hand and said: "It is Zhou Mubai, but the title of this Han general has already asked the king of Burma to resign." ”

The official glanced at Zhou Mubai unceremoniously, obviously despising him very much, and said with a brush: "Since it is Zhou Mubai, come with me, my emperor's grace, let you go to the audience." ”

Zhou Mubai nodded, and as the officials walked out of the stone house, through a few alleys, the stone houses here were obviously newly built, and they were built in a hurry, and they were extremely ugly in appearance, Zhou Mubai couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and the official who led the way in front of him paused in front of a large courtyard, turned sideways and said to Zhou Mubai: "You are waiting here, I will go in and report." ”

This courtyard is made of the same material as other stone houses, but the appearance is better, imitating the structure of the northern courtyard, but the subtleties are still a little rough, which is also the best house Zhou Mubai has ever seen, so it feels much more pleasing to the eye.

"Zhou Mubai knocked to see the emperor." Zhou Mubai waited for the official to finish the briefing, followed the official into the main hall, and bowed down when he saw Zhu Jun sitting on the upper seat.

Zhu Jun looked at Zhou Mubai silently with Erlang's legs crossed, a few months ago, he was still very proud of Yongli in the name of the Han people, and he didn't expect that time had passed, but he had changed his appearance. With such a big change, Zhu Jun had to be careful, and he was courteous and holistic, either a traitor or a thief.

"I heard you're here to give me a gift? I see that you are empty-handed except for this bright clothes, where does the courtesy come from? ”

"Your Majesty, the treasure that Zhou wants to send is extraordinary, if it is not for those who have great ambitions, they will definitely not be able to bear it, but I don't know if the emperor has this open mind." Zhou Mubai said.

"Oh?" Zhu Jun stood up, and leaned forward slightly with his interested body: "You can calm down, continue talking." ”

Zhou Mubai stood up and said, "The baby that Zhou wants to give is Zhou himself." He bowed down on his knees and said, "Zhou is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

Zhu Jun's face sank, and he kept guessing Zhou Mubai's intentions in his heart, if Zhou Mubai really came to serve Zhu Jun, he didn't dare to believe it, he was just a king of a dead country, his subordinates were only more than 20,000 people, and he was constrained by people everywhere, and the land under his jurisdiction was only fifty miles, except for the empty name of the emperor, it can be said that he had nothing, he Zhou Mubai was originally a master who saw the wind and steered the rudder, asked for money and shamelessness, how could he abandon the big tree of the King of Burma and run to himself? Thinking of this, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be more careful, he took a sip of the tea on the table and took a sip, smiled, and said: "It's funny, I only want to live in Nanyang, where is there any domineering heart, Zhou Aiqing don't want to make fun of it." ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Mubai snorted coldly and said: "Since the emperor only wants his life, why do you want to organize pirates privately, hide warships, train soldiers, and build defenses?" ”

Zhu Jun was shocked, the teacup in his hand almost fell off his hand and fell to the ground, after all, he was a young man, even if he was old, his face couldn't help but change when he heard the news. This matter of co-opting pirates, temporarily placing pirate warships on the island, and sending a team of people to guard them was originally extremely secretive, how could Zhou Mubai know? After the shock, his attitude has become playful, and his heart has become murderous, no matter what, Mu Bai can't stay this week.

How could Zhou Mubai not know Zhu Jun's thoughts, and said with a calm smile: "The emperor only said that this thing was secret, but in fact, who doesn't know from the Burmese capital to the king of Myanmar and down to the merchants?" You must know that this is the land of the Burmese people, does the emperor think that he can hide from the sky and cross the sea? ”

"The King of Burma also knows?" Zhu Jun held his mind, his face hesitated, now that the King of Burma already knows, there is no point in killing Zhou Mubai to extinguish his mouth, the matter has come to this, but he can't panic, Zhu Jun desperately calmed himself down, and tried his best to make a calm and relaxed appearance and asked.

"Of course, the king of Burma knows." Zhou Mubai affirmed categorically and continued: "But the emperor doesn't have to hesitate, what can the king of Burma do if he knows?" Now that the king of Gao Burma is far away, what can't he do to you? ”

"Why is that?" Zhu Jun felt a little incredible, he originally thought that the situation in Myanmar was under his control, and he couldn't even know everything about himself, but since the king of Myanmar already knew about it, why was the situation in Myanmar still calm?

"Your Majesty, since the King of Burma knows the ambitions of the emperor, he naturally wants to get rid of you quickly, but first, the teacher is unknown, and secondly, the Burmese country is not peaceful, the prince of Burma Wang Mangbai intends to make trouble, if the King of Burma easily does something to the emperor, it is inevitable that Wang Mangbai will catch the truth, and now the Burmese clan is restraining each other, but the emperor has won time."

Zhu Jun was surprised again: "Could it be that the king of Burma also knows that his younger brother Wang Mangbai is going to rebel?" ”

"Wang Mangbai's ill-intentioned heart has long been known to passers-by, how can the king of Burma not know, but Wang Mangbai holds the military power, is well-known in the Burmese army, and monopolizes the power of the court, if the king of Myanmar easily turns against him, it will only lead to burning, so the people of the country say that Wang Mangbai will be opposed, but the king of Myanmar insists on not believing, in order to delay the time to turn his face with Wang Mangbai, these days he has secretly cultivated cronies, it is for this."

Zhou Mubai saw that Zhu Jun was fascinated by what he heard, paused and said: "This time, the emperor asked Yang Side to go to the Burmese capital to separate the Burmese king and Atai, in fact, the Burmese king is at ease with Atai and believes in his loyalty very much, but Yang Side contacted Wang Mangbai, and Wang Mangbai was in tandem with the court, and jointly requested that Atai be deposed and sent to the Burmese capital to be convicted, and the Burmese king could only be helpless, and ordered people to escort Atai into Wacheng, in fact, it was just to appease Wang Mangbai and delay time. ”

Zhu Jun silently remembered Zhou Mubai's words, but his heart was full of ups and downs, he couldn't imagine that the situation in Myanmar was so complicated, on the surface, it seemed to be singing and dancing, but inside it was an undercurrent surging, his original analysis was completely wrong, he originally thought that the king of Myanmar was mediocre and incompetent, and finally was usurped by Wang Mangbai.
