A splash of glory and wealth is now in front of Mahamu.

And the price is just to ask him to bow down to Daming in the past, and bow down to Daming.

Zhenyuan Guanguan Yamen.

In front of the hall, the wind and snow were blowing, but the cold was blocked by the stove under the hall.

Fan Worm clasped his hands together, and the green robe on his body naturally hung down, gently fluttering with the few taels of warm wind squeezed in front of the hall.

He spoke slowly, his tone calm and unwavering.

"Edict: Daming Wang'an, the arch of the world, the world is big, the land outside the gate can be compared with the king of Mahamu."

With an absolutely calm, but full of majestic tone, Fan Worm silently recited the contents of the decree of the Emperor Daming and the grandson that he placed in front of Ma Hamu.

Mahamu's eyes continued to contract, and then violently enlarged.

His breathing began to slow until he felt a sense of suffocation.

Regardless of the content that says that the Ming Dynasty wants to give all the land outside the gate to himself, even the treasure seal of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is red cannot be faked.

His body had become stiff, but he still raised his neck little by little, and his eyes stared at the calm Fan worm in front of him.

"Is this true?"

After half a sound, a hoarse and rapid inquiry came from Mahamu's throat.

Hu Yongning, the magistrate of Zhenyuan Guanguan who was standing in front of the hall, was also suspicious.

That Fang Taisun's treasure seal can't be faked.

Is all this true?

Fan Worm once again opened his arms and walked in front of Mahamu.

Mahamu hesitated and stood up.

Fan Worm immediately laughed and said, "Who dares to cheat?" ”

Boom!

Mahamu opened his arms and hugged Fan Worm heavily.

"Friend!"

"From now on, you will be my most sincere and inseparable friend!"

……

"Friends?"

"Brother Hu, how many taels of silver do you think your friend is worth?"

Still in the yamen of the Zhenyuan Pass Office, in the back yamen, Fan Worm stood by the window, looking at the growing snow outside, never looking back, quietly asking.

Hu Yongning, the magistrate of Zhenyuan Guanguan, who was standing behind him, bowed slightly.

"Xia Guan thinks that he has to talk about what kind of friend he is."

Fan Worm raised his hand against his chin, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was estimating the price, and then said slowly: "The friendship between that official and Na Mahamu is probably only worth the price of half a radish." ”

It seems to be a joke.

But Hu Yongning, who was standing behind Fan Worm, had a tense face.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "Shaoqing, you used radish to privately engrave the Taisun Treasure Seal and fake it in front of Na Mahamu." If His Highness finds out about it afterwards, I am afraid that there will be calamity......"

Fan Worm stretched out his hand.

Outside the window, a crystal snowflake fell into his palm.

It quickly melted into the palm of his hand and turned into a drop of crystal water.

Fan Worm shook his head, turned to look at Hu Yongning in front of him: "Governor Hu, why is this official here?" ”

"Shaoqing has the emperor's order, and he is here to discuss the matter of forming a mutual market with the Warat Ministry."

"Nope."

Fan Worm still shook his head and sneered: "This official is here to squeeze out the last drop of blood of the Warat Department for the imperial court, and grind the last bone of the Warat Department into bone meal!" ”

Hu Yongning was a little uneasy in his heart: "But Mahamu won't just because of the fake ...... Shaoqing came up with The fatwa really belongs to our dynasty. ”

"Then we'll give him the benefits we can get now!"

Fan Worm's eyes sank for a moment, and there was a ghostly light in his eyes.

Hu Yongning raised his head and met Fan Worm's eyes: "Why did Shaoqing risk his life to do such an arrogant thing?" ”

Fan Worm calmly looked at Hu Yongning, who straightened his chest and straightened his neck, and looked at him fixedly.

"What if the official said that it was for the Ming Dynasty?"

……

Less and.

It's not too late to get around.

Daming Shaanxi Province Ningxia Fu Town Yuanguan.

Since the issuance of the letter issued by the yamen of the customs office, there has been a continuous hoarding of grain, grass and weapons here, which have been sent to the residence of the envoys of the Warat Ministry.

What is out of the way is that the whole town is far away, and no one cares.

In the middle, only the general Yamen of Zhenyuan Guan sent someone to the Yamen of the customs office to inquire about it, and then there was no more action.

……

Three thousand miles away is Yingtian City.

In the past, the crowded Waijinchuan Gate Longwan Wharf was never cleared and blocked by the government, and it was rare to calm down.

Even, it can be described as neutral.

On the huge wharf, around the trestle bridges that extend into the river from the shore, there are only a dozen large and small official boats parked sparsely.

The innumerable merchant ships, shipwrights, sailors, laborers, and household servants who were subject to the commercial tax of the Heavenly Government are no longer to be seen.

Now.

It was noon, and the sun was shining in the sky, but there was not much warmth because of the cold winter.

Only in a sheltered place, a long stay, can make people feel warm.

At this time, a total of more than 10 large and small warships appeared on the river from the downstream.

The warship stopped at the river not far from the pier, lowered its sails, lowered its anchor, and slowly stopped.

Only the huge treasure ship, after lowering the sails that could cover the sun on the twelve sides, slowly drove into the pier pier with the assistance of the small boats on the pier by inertia.

Boom.

On the trestle, as the treasure ship docked, a series of dull sounds sounded.

The sailors of the ship threw the thick ropes off the trestle and handed it over to the sailors on the trestle to tie it to the stacks.

A ramp ladder was pushed from the pier to the pier, and then slowly leaned against the hull of the treasure ship.

At this time, someone shouted loudly on the trestle, informing the people on the treasure ship that everything was ready.

Subsequently.

Under the watchful eyes of several Ministry of Rite officials and sailors on the docks who had been waiting here for a long time.

I saw that several flags were erected on the treasure ship.

"Deputy General of the Ming Eastern Expedition."

"Daming Wenhua Hall walking."

"The left squire of the Ming Army."

The flag is held by the flag first, and the treasure ship is lowered.

In the end, I saw a young man wearing a three-grade red robe and a snow-white coat standing on the edge of the treasure ship.

Under the gaze of everyone, he stepped on the ladder and walked down the treasure ship step by step to the trestle.

Thereupon.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately bowed their heads and stepped forward with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaguan, meet the Iron Bachelor."

After several years away from Beijing, Tie Xuan, who finally returned from crossing the sea, took a deep look at the Yingtian City Wall not far away.

Then his gaze slowly fell and fell on the officials of the Ministry of Rites in front of him.

Tie Xuan smiled and raised his hand slightly: "Excuse me, please get up." We are all on errands for the imperial court, so we don't have to be so polite, please get up quickly. ”

However, none of the officials of the Ministry of Rites present dared to be rude.

Although the young red-robed official in front of him had only erected three official flags.

But there is also an official flag that has just been sealed and has not yet been delivered, which is the most important.

"I have heard that Xuanchen has many merits, wisdom and talents, and is a scholar of Jiawu Yingdian University."

The emperor's always brief and straightforward will that had just been made clear to the court this morning was still clearly engraved in the minds of the officials of the Ministry of Rites here.

Who dared to snub the upstart in front of him.

Nowadays, no one in the court knows that although the official rank of the university scholar in the court is not high, only five grades, but this is the front of the cabinet.

Non-university scholars are not allowed to join the Cabinet.

This is already the default rule in the court.

Although His Majesty has not yet decreed that Tie Xuan should be included in the cabinet, who doesn't know that this is waiting for the achievements of Tie Xuan in the court in the past few years, one by one.

Then, it will be justified in the decree that Tie Hyun will be included in the cabinet.

And after the beginning of spring, the founding prince and Cao Guogong will return to Beijing.

After those two returned to Beijing, they were the kings of Jinfeng County.

This time, Tie Xuan returned to Beijing from the Eastern Expeditionary Army first, which can be regarded as the meaning of the front station.

For Tie Xuan to boast about his achievements in the court and make him enter the cabinet, it is also equivalent to paving the way for the founding prince and Cao Guogong to be crowned the prince of the county.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to slack off, bowed down one after another, and said in unison: "Bachelor Xie Tie." ”

The smile on Tie Hyun's face has not disappeared since he got off the ship.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites all stood up.

He continued: "I have been waiting here for a long time, and when the Japanese officials have finished their work briefings, I will definitely give you a banquet to thank you. ”

Everyone excused themselves.

They didn't dare to snub Tie Xuan, but no one dared to have a deep friendship with Tie Xuan.

Who doesn't know that the master in front of him has been in Yingzhou for several years, but with that scholarly heart, he has earned back the name of a person slaughtered for himself.

As long as you think of Tie Xuan's name, who doesn't see the picture of Yingzhou surrounded by corpses and rivers of blood in front of him.

This young man who can be crowned a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and may even be in the cabinet soon. The reason why there is such a reward is that it is a real and practical Yingzhou Sidao, and the countless lives of the Japanese people have been exchanged for merit.

Shi Langzhong, the leading ceremonial official of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "Bachelor Tie has returned to Beijing this time, and there are still many matters to be handled. In addition, after the return of this bachelor after a few years, the imperial court must have another reward and entrusted with important tasks. I don't dare to delay the rest of the bachelor, and if we are tired of the bachelor at that time, it will be our sin to wait. ”

After this person finished speaking, someone on the side immediately changed his mouth and said: "The bachelor still enters the city, according to the rules, today's bachelor is going to stay in Fanlin Temple outside Bei'anmen."

It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has sent down an edict to ask the bachelor to enter the Taishe altar before the palace gate falls tonight, and the court will meet tomorrow. ”

Even if there is no rumor.

But just because Tie Xuan was allowed to return to Beijing today to live in Taisheji, it is enough to show that the next eight or nine will not leave ten, and he will definitely be on duty in the cabinet.

The last time I went back to Beijing, I lived in Taisheji, but I was Gao Yangzhi, the youngest cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty who entered Beijing.

Tie Xuan has been absent from Yingtian for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know about Gao Yangzhi.

After he heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Your Majesty's move ......"

He didn't dare to say that the emperor's arrangement was inconsistent with the rules and system.

But the meaning is clear.

The ceremonial Qing official Shi Langzhong smiled and waved his hand: "Bachelor, rest assured, the last time Gao Ge Lao returned to Beijing, he lived in Taisheji." ”

After that, he also glanced at Tie Hyun meaningfully.

Tie Hyun understood the other party's eyes.

This is hinting at himself that he will soon enter the cabinet and become one of the members of the Ming cabinet.

Tie Xuan smiled slightly: "Can you enter the palace before the palace gate is locked?" ”

The ceremonial official Shi Langzhong nodded: "Your Majesty is magnificent, and the bachelor should remember it." ”

Tie Xuan snorted and arched his hand towards the imperial city: "Your Majesty remembers, don't dare to forget the emperor's grace." ”

Seeing that Tie Xuan understood, Shi Langzhong, the official of the ceremony, stretched out his hand: "Bachelor, let's go into the city." ”

"Enter the city!"

……

"Now that I have come back and entered this Yingtian City, I have done all the things, and I am no longer as wanton as Yingzhou, I have to think twice about everything, and then do it."

Xie Jin, who deliberately finished handling official business in the cabinet early today, left Ren Hengtai and others who had already seen through him, and went out of the palace to the book and newspaper office under the east city wall.

In the backyard of the newspaper office, under the apricot tree, which has lost its leaves but is growing stronger, there is a pavilion.

With the stove in the pavilion, Xie Jin and Tie Xuan, who rushed here, did not feel cold.

Tie Xuan nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, and used the tea soup to warm his stomach.

"Today at the dock, the people from the Ministry of Rites hinted that I will be on duty in the cabinet soon when I return to Beijing, I wonder if this matter is conclusive?"

Xie Jin looked at the bare apricot tree and smiled: "Do you want to enter the cabinet?" ”

Tie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Restraint! ”

"Restraint?"

Tie Xuan glanced at Xie Jin faintly: "How long has it been since you joined the cabinet, how long have you not walked out of this Yingtian City?" ”

Xie Jin blinked, and suddenly laughed.

Tie Xuan didn't react, just looked at Xie Jin and laughed enough, and slowly put away his laughter.

Xie Jin slapped the table at this time, and then stretched out his hand to Tie Xuan: "I know that it is impossible for a person like you who has been fooling around outside for several years to sit still in the cabinet." Let's talk about what you have in mind this time. Let me tell you in advance that although Your Majesty and the Crown Prince have not said it explicitly, the two of them probably intended to let you enter the cabinet. ”

"Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" Tie Hyun frowned slightly.

Xie Jin explained: "I haven't forgotten that Your Majesty added you a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and now in the cabinet, Wei Guogong, Liang Guogong, and Xiping Hou are also Wuyingdian scholars. ”

Tie Xuan's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty and the crown prince have the intention of asking me to go to the army to supervise the armies?" ”

"If I'm right, that's probably the plan." Xie Jin turned the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "You have been in the Eastern Expeditionary Army for many years, you are familiar with military affairs, and you are the left attendant of the military department. It is also reasonable for you to supervise the armies.

After all, even if His Majesty and the crown prince are very relieved about the army, the rules that should be in place must be slowly established now. is also the same as the Jinyi Guard supervising hundreds of officials. ”

Tie Xuan's brows furrowed more and more: "But Jinyiwei is not under the control of the Dadu Governor's Mansion." ”

Xie Jin glanced at Tie Xuan, who was full of doubts, shook his head, and said, "Since you don't want to be in the cabinet, what are your plans next?" ”

Tie Hyun pondered silently.

Then he spoke: "There are some ideas at the moment, but they haven't been sorted out yet. ”

"But ......"

"The general direction is either the nine sides, or the implementation of the new policy at the local level."
