"Zhu Yilong, the king of Jingjiang, said to me that he wanted me to ascend the throne and become the emperor. Is there any part of this? ”

Li Xiao asked Li Hao, who was standing opposite him, with a cold face.

"Big brother, you said that's all there is to it, you ......!"

"Is there any?" Li Xiao roared, and Li Hao, who was hippie and smiling, immediately stood up straight.

He knew that this time the eldest brother was really angry.

"Know...... Know! Li Hao stammered in reply.

"Such a big thing, you dare to hide it from me.

You're going to be crazy!

Is it that now that you are a second assistant, you have a lot of power in your hands, and you don't take your big brother in your eyes. ”

"No, big brother......!"

"Not? Whose idea.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't have that much courage, saying that he believed in coercion, and I didn't believe in the mastermind. ”

"Yes......! Be......! Mr. Zhang! Li Hao saw Li Xiao's angry appearance, and his heart jumped like a little rabbit.

"Mr. Zhang, Zhang Huangyan?" Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Huangyan, an old guy, to be an old man.

"Yes!

This is what he instigated behind his back! I......!

He also said, don't tell you about this yet. Otherwise, you have a good face, and you will definitely not agree.

He also said that it was most appropriate for King Jingjiang, the prince of the Zhu family, to raise this matter. ”

"Huh! You kid agreed, and then thought that you could be a prince or something? Li Xiao sneered.

"Yes...... It's a little bit of a thought. Li Hao kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his two hands.

"Fourth! You are also a big boss, and you have been training in Jiangnan for so many years, how can you think so simple?

Why did Zhang Huangyan want to connect in private and let me ascend the throne and become emperor?

He wants to mix up with the dragon's work!

There is such a thing as conspiracy, once and then twice.

This time they encouraged me to be emperor, and next time they plotted something in private, you know?

I said this time, they are practicing the forced palace, do you believe it? ”

"Big brother, not really. Zhang Huangyan? He didn't dare! How dare he force the palace. He......! ”

Li Hao was obviously frightened by Li Xiao's words!

If Zhang Huangyan really has this thought, then Li Xiao in Guilin is really dangerous.

Because everyone thought that he was secretly connecting in order to invite Li Xiao to ascend the throne.

If you really have any thoughts, what you want to do...... no one really thinks.

"You're not him, how do you know he doesn't have that kind of care.

Zhang Huangyan has been the first assistant for ten years, how many people have been promoted?

Because of his son's affairs, he was exempted from the position of first assistant and idle, do you know that he really does not resent in his heart?

Don't dare to be with me, these are two different things! ”

"Big brother, what do you mean......, Zhang Huangyan is this old guy restless?"

"I can't see it yet, and there's no evidence." Li Xiao took a puff of his cigar and let out a faint puff of smoke.

"There is no evidence to be afraid of anything, and it is not easy to clean him up.

Over the years, he has been greedy for ink. The little tail is clutching it. ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Li Hao immediately revealed the ruthlessness of Lord Jifu.

After all, so many years of officialdom are not in vain.

"No!

These old ministers, as long as they are not blatantly rebelling, our family will not be able to move others.

When Mao Wenlong was killed back then, it caused a lot of uneasiness among the old ministers.

Ultimately!

When an official is in this position, it is nonsense to want to be as clear as water and as clear as a mirror.

Get some! Eat some! It's all the same!

As long as nothing happens on the issue of the country's major rights and wrongs!

Zhang Huangyan said that there was no need to move, and there was no need to move him.

But watch it!

Something like Guilin's will never be allowed to happen a second time. Got it?

In the future, we must also be rigorous and privately connect this kind of thing.

If you make a lot of fuss about things in private, you will form a small circle in the future.

After a long time, the small circle becomes a large circle.

It's like the Donglin Party, after it became a climate, even the emperor didn't pay attention to it.

Think about the Donglin Party back then!

The operation of the six departments is like a chess piece, and the Hohe officials are like cattle and horses.

Even who the emperor chooses as the first assistant has to be decided by them. It is not their people who are the first assistants, they will stumble openly and secretly until they pull people down.

Terrible!

At this point, one of the most important things is to prevent the existence of friends.

Officials protect each other, as long as it is a party. No matter what happens, it will be called for and gathered!

If it's not a party, no matter what, it's a good thing or a bad thing. All against it!

If you have the opportunity, you will be corrected, and if you don't have the opportunity to create the opportunity, you will be rectified.

The party is the same!

Think about all kinds of strange things during the Chongzhen period, and you will understand the horror of this. ”

Li Xiao sighed, the party struggle in the year of the Apocalypse and the year of Chongzhen, the top-down conspiracy atmosphere of the imperial court, is terrifying to think about.

"Knowing the big brother, this kind of thing won't happen in the future." Li Hao nodded, he also knew the power.

"It's good to know that it's amazing! When your second brother came back, you saw him? ”

"See! also had dinner with Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu seems to have a favorite person. ”

Hearing Li Xiao ask about Xiaoyu, Li Hao was very gossipy and said in a sly manner.

"Xiaoyu has a favorite person? Who's from? How are people? Li Xiao's eyes lit up.

For so many years, Xiaoyu has always been a knot in his heart.

At that time, Xiaoyu was forced to commit suicide because he betrayed the technical intelligence of the Ming Dynasty. Xiaoyu hugged Xiaoyu's spiritual position and got married!

Back then, everyone said that Xiaoyu was affectionate and righteous!

But after so many years, who is sad knows who knows.

Coupled with Xiaoyu's identity, people with ulterior motives dare not approach. Those gentlemen are all respectful and stay away.

It doesn't matter if you marry a woman from another family, marry a small one at home, or drink a flower wine outside and reward a prostitute or something.

But if she hooked up with Xiaoyu and dared to do this, she would definitely be torn to pieces by her three tough brothers.

It's not a woman, it's a ticking time bomb.

As a man, who dares to say that he is not stealing in this life?

Therefore, Xiaoyu has been living alone like this all these years.

Fortunately, there is a tiger girl by her side, but the tiger girl also has to go to school.

"Tell me, curious." At this time, Li Xiao's face was gossiping, where was the handsome demeanor of reprimanding people just now.

"It seems to be a local in Hainan, so I just listen to the tiger girl's babbling. If you want to know, I'll ask you. ”

"Don't inquire about everything! Hurry up and ask, this is a phone call to ask now. Li Xiao pointed to the phone and said.

"Big brother, the tiger girl is still in class at this point. This......! ”

"What's the use of class, let the teacher find it."

So, a big handsome, a second assistant!

One was holding a phone, and the other was close to eavesdropping.

This duo is definitely the two most powerful paparazzi in Daming!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The Li brothers are discussing gossip, but the Zheng brothers, who are far away in London, are discussing the risks after returning to China.

Just yesterday, a telegram came from the far other side of the globe.

Zheng Sen and his younger brother Tagawa Nanazaemon returned to the Ming Dynasty to receive the affairs of the Imperial Domain and Hongroji Temple.

This sudden order made the two brothers feel at a loss.

In the past two years in London, they haven't really done anything serious.

All day long, he attended the banquets of arms dealers from various European countries, and received soft hands when collecting money.

In fact, they are the world's largest arms dealers.

Those European countries have reached the point where they will not hesitate to spend money in order to obtain the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming's domestic policy is getting wider and wider, and at the beginning it only sold old-fashioned warships. There were also captured rifles, mortars, cannons and so on.

Later, the list of things that could be sold grew larger.

New fuel destroyers, new fuel airships, new rocket artillery.

Even the latest battleships and cruisers are on the list of weapons that can be sold.

The things on the list even surprised the Zheng brothers.

They tried to sell destroyers to the outside, and as a result, they received orders for more than a hundred ships from various European countries at once.

I also inquired vigorously whether the battleship was sold or not.

After receiving an affirmative reply, the excited Spaniards ordered three at once.

It's just a pity that later Li Xiu's wife. Their cousin took advantage of it, and the immediate consequence was that the battleship was cheaper by four million silver dollars.

This made them lose a lot of money!

It's really the water spilled by the married woman, so that the mother's family can make more money, and it can also be sideways.

However, this is also something that cannot be helped. Who made the husband of the family the commander of the Ming Empire Navy!

Who doesn't know that people all over the world who are begging for a living at sea have to look at Li Xiu's face to live.

offended her, not much different from offended Hades.

can't afford to provoke this cousin, and the Zheng brothers can only endure it.

But the news from China is getting worse and worse one by one.

First of all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was run by the Zheng family, was abolished.

It is not to take away the rights of the Zheng family, but to abolish this institution as a whole.

Li Xiao's reason is very charged, the emperor is gone, why do you need such an institution as the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There has been no emperor for more than 20 years, and because there is no fresh blood to join, the eunuchs and maids in the palace have been in short supply.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has almost fulfilled the historical mission of this institution.

If this is a reasonable matter!

The Zheng family's children acted recklessly and injured Li Lin and Hu Niu, which was definitely a big accident.

Because of that incident, the Zheng family also lost the Ministry of Water Resources.

Now there are more and more cities in Daming that use electricity, and fools can see that in the future, hydroelectric power plants will be a goose that will lay golden eggs.

Now, this goose that can only lay golden eggs has become the Li family.

The Zheng family, in addition to the maritime merchants, may be left with the arms trade of these two brothers in London to support.

Dad was so angry that he had a stroke, and the huge Zheng family has completely degenerated into a third-rate family in the Ming Dynasty.

None of those descendants have become a weapon, and those in the capital only know that the eagle lackeys fight crickets.

Those who stayed in Fuzhou and Xiamen spent their days bullying men and women wandering the streets to commit crimes.

In Quanzhou, the Zheng family has become a major local nuisance.

If it weren't for the local government's pressure, an incident would have occurred long ago.

In recent years, the domestic rumors have become more and more wrong.

The life of the officials is getting more and more difficult, and those guys from the Ministry of Supervision are haunted all day long.

As long as the officials are taken away by them, none of them can be good.

The head of the Ministry of Supervision is Lu Xiangsheng, who is too old to speak.

This old guy doesn't give anyone face.

As long as you are brought into the Ministry of Supervision by his people, no matter how big your official position is, you will definitely be dealt with in accordance with the "Da Ming Law" in the end.

The people in the Ministry of Supervision are even more virtuous with the old things. All day long, he had a dead face, and no one looked smiling.

These dogs' oil and salt don't come in, as long as they get it in, you can't get it out, even if you have any money.

Many of the people who were recommended by the Zheng family to be officials were arrested.

Some were sentenced to exile, while others were in prison.

There are even some that are pulled directly to the entrance of the vegetable market, which plays a role in venting the anger of the broad masses of the people.

This is also considered waste utilization!

Can......!

You can't ask all the officials to be like you, not greedy, not taking advantage of or playing privileges, who the hell is an official.

This is to think in their hearts, no matter what, they dare not say it explicitly.

Now it's their brother's turn!

They are panicking!

Over the years, he has made a lot of money selling weapons.

Some of the money was deposited in Swiss banks, and some in the British Imperial Bank in London.

Only a part of the money, Zheng Sen sent his right-hand man to transport it to Quanzhou by steamer.

This time I went back, and if I couldn't get it right, it was all pigtails.

Don't look at Zheng Sen as a student of Li Xiao, but Li Xiao was busy with official duties in those years, and he didn't teach him much.

Zheng Sen's current knowledge level is not much greater than that of those children who run bare-ass on Changxing Island.

This is especially true of Tagawa Nanazaemon, a child born into a pirate family who lives in a pirate-infested country of Wa.

The genes of pirates are engraved in their bones, and it is too difficult for them to see the idea of money not being angry and seizing it.

This time I returned to China, once I was targeted by those people in the Ministry of Supervision. If you make a mistake, this life will be over.

Don't look at Zheng Sen's Li Xiao's students, Li Xiao is the kind of person who properly turns his face and doesn't recognize people.

Once he is targeted by Lu Xiangsheng, the old bastard, Li Xiao may not necessarily protect him.

The more the brothers thought about it, the more they returned to Daming, the more Longtan Tiger's Den became.

"Big brother, let's just go back. In case of......! "Nanazaemon Tagawa was a little worried.

His new position as the head of the Rifan Academy!

Riho-in is an institution that governs each feudal domain!

To be exact, it is to administer Korea, the Wa Kingdom, Mongolia, Burma, Cochin, Laos, Siam, Java, and other places.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a fat difference second only to Honglu Temple.

However, Tagawa Nanazaemon was a little trembling, because he was afraid that he would be arrested by Lu Xiangsheng after he went back.

After all, in the past two years in London, the butt is really unclean.

"A big family, what should we do if we don't go back? If you don't go back, you're disobeying!

I have to go back, you can go to the book and quit your errand as the head of the Imperial Court.

You are a native of the Wa Kingdom, and you can continue to return to the Wa Kingdom to be your vassal.

Anyway, in the past few years, you have enough to eat for a lifetime. ”
