In this Nanjing city, there is no news that can be hidden from Zhang Anshi.

Since Wang Langzhong had already returned, he happened to bump into the court again, if nothing else, he specially summoned Zhang Anshi into the palace, it must be because of this incident.

Zhang Anshi was calm and relaxed, and when he was about to go to the court, he didn't forget to summon Zhu Jin to tell him about wine.

Nowadays, alcohol sales channels are gradually starting to be established everywhere.

On Qixia's side, a winery was opened, and there was also a glass manufacturing workshop.

At this time, the benefits of the Zhang family building here were revealed.

Sooner or later, technology will flow out, that's for sure.

It depends on when it flows out, not to mention that even if it flows out, the taste and craftsmanship of this wine will definitely be far inferior to Qixia.

All the recruited craftsmen have hope in their hearts, on the one hand, they are stable in Qixia. On the other hand, if you work hard for three years, it is possible to get a house in Qixia, and the family can pick it up and live in peace and stability.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the loss of personnel.

It's hard to do if someone wants to buy one or two people and wants to know the whole process.

Let's just say that you have to have a stove to burn glass, how do you make a stove? There are also various formulas, the selection of various materials, and the quality inspection of the final product, and many of the famous names here are not something that can be figured out by one or two.

The only way is to buy a large number of people.

But Qixia wants to buy a large group of craftsmen, and the price is unimaginable.

Let alone...... It is impossible not to attract people's attention when so many people are taken away at once, you must know that Qi Xia can also have a Nanzhen Fusi.

Although Zhang Anshi did not release the words that anyone dared to steal my craft, I would kill the whole family. can be so blatantly warped in the corner of the Xia Commercial Bank, I am afraid that the person who does this will have to weigh whether he has this weight, and whether he is willing to take this risk.

Zhu Jin was heartbroken for this wine.

From the location of directly operated stores in various places, to the establishment of other distribution channels, as well as the etiquette training of sales staff, he is responsible for it.

Sometimes, in fact, he can't understand that even if such an expensive wine can be sold, the sales volume is limited.

The trading houses now buy and sell a lot of money, so why bother to buy and sell this wine.

It's a pity that he didn't dare to dissuade Zhang Anshi, anyway, whatever Zhang Anshi explained, he just did it. Even if you have any doubts in private, you will never show them.

After telling Zhu Jin to clarify the matter, Zhang Anshixuan rode into the palace.

When they arrived at the noon gate, the time was just right, and the eunuch was about to summon hundreds of officials to enter.

Zhang Anshi got off the horse and followed the flow of people.

Yang Rong saw Zhang Anshi, he seemed worried, after seeing Zhang Anshi, he suddenly had a conversation, while entering the palace, he walked beside Zhang Anshi, and said: "Master Hou, have you heard of the battle report?" ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyes and glanced at Yang Rong before he said, "Yang Gong is talking about Guangning?" ”

Yang Rong nodded and said: "The military department also received it yesterday, the situation is very critical, the Tatars colluded with the Uliangha people, poured out, and marched eastward in one fell swoop, directly threatening Guangning, Guangning is the gateway of the entire Liaodong, once lost, the entire Liaodong may not be guaranteed." ”

Yang Rong paused, and then said: "Liaodong may be just a chicken rib for my Ming Dynasty now, but although it is a bitter cold place, once it falls into their hands, the so-called elimination of one and the other's strengths can greatly increase the strength of the Tatar Department." Let alone...... A fort has been breached, and all the thousands of men in it have been killed by the Tatars, and more than 170 women have been taken captive......"

Speaking of this, Yang Rong looked distressed: "Hey...... It's hard...... It's so hard, these people ...... Most of them are military households, it was the imperial court that migrated to Liaodong, in order to enrich the population of Liaodong and fix the border defense...... but they were slaughtered like this, and the court couldn't stand them. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "The imperial court must take good care of them." ”

"Bereavement?" Yang Rong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Not to mention what's the use of pension afterwards, they are stationed in Liaodong with their families." As soon as the military fort was broken, the whole family had no life left, and I don't know how many people were crushed and scattered...... To whom? Besides, as soon as the military fort here is broken, I am afraid that at this time, the Tatars have rushed to attack Quang Ninh, which has 19,000 soldiers and civilians, and ...... If they continue to go deeper, to Uiju, to ...... Ay...... How many people, how many people, hundreds of thousands of Liaodong soldiers and civilians, all exposed to the butcher's knives of the Tatars, how miserable it is. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yang Gong rest assured, the Tatars will retreat." ”

Yang Rong glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply, and then said: "The situation over there in the Ministry of Rites, doesn't Annanhou still know?" ”

"You mean that Wang Lang is ......?"

Yang Rong shook his head and sighed, but said, "That's it, let's go in and face the saint." ”

Many times, the more people know, the more painful they become.

For example, Yang Rong, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, will be summarized here by the newspapers from all over the world, and many things can be predicted, but he knows that a disaster is about to happen, but what can he do?

The funny thing is that his name is Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, and he has the right to slaughter and assist, but many times, he is also powerless and has to sit and wait for bad news.

Some things are inevitable to happen, so most of the time, Yang Rong told himself rationally that he couldn't invest in any emotion, how many miserable things in the world, as a Zaifu, he should deal with it calmly, as long as he made the right choice.

But in fact...... How can people be completely rational and calm if they are not plants and trees?

Everyone slowly walked to the Chongwen Palace.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered here.

Zhu Di had already sat here in advance, his face was also a little bad, and when the battle report came, he immediately realized Tatar Khan's intentions.

And Uliang Habe's backstab also made him chagrined.

This may have been his biggest mistake since he ascended the throne, and Zhu Di has never severed his reward for the Uliangha, but in the end, they still merged with the Tatars.

In this way, the Tatar barrier facing Liaodong was opened.

Back then, Liaodong was almost defeated by him, the King of Yan, and now it is ...... On the contrary, after he became emperor, he was about to fall.

"Your Majesty......"

At this time, Wang Langzhong stood up cautiously.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Qing go to Tartary, is Tatar Khan in good health?" ”

"Be in good health."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "What did he say?" ”

He said...... If you want to compete with Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't dare to fight......" Wang Langzhong said tremblingly, his eyes cautiously turned upward, looking at Zhu Di's face.

It's a pity that he is too far away from Zhu Di, so he has to continue to stubbornly say: "He will raise troops to Nanjing." ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What a big breath." ”

"The sin of death." Wang Langzhong bowed.

Zhu Di didn't get angry with him, but said: "This has nothing to do with you, and it's not easy for you to make this trip." ”

Wang Langzhong relieved his mind at this time, and then said: "The minister also found out that the Uliangha tribe and the Tatar tribe have become one, and they are very harmonious with each other, and the leader of the Uliangha tribe was even named the king of Taishi by the Tatar Khan...... When the minister entered the Golden Horde, he saw that they were like a cloud of soldiers and horses, which could be described as strong soldiers and horses, and it seemed that they had recuperated in the past few years, and they had some strength. ”

After a pause, Wang Langzhong said: "The minister also asked some old herdsmen along the way, because the minister went to Daning, and these herdsmen from the Wuliang Habu were also full of praise for the Tatar Khan. Your Majesty, the ministers are humble, but this time I noticed that this Tatar Khan is a ghost, and he can be regarded as a hero, since he usurped the throne as Khan, he has cleaned up people's hearts and recuperated his strength, which has become a problem for my Ming heart. ”

In many cases, the duties of the envoys also have the function of espionage, which is why Wang Langzhong was in a hurry when he went, and he met Tatar Khan after more than half a month, but when he came back, he was dragging mud and water.

Therefore, he had to visit slowly, taking this opportunity to learn about some of the situation in the desert, and according to some clues, he could report to the imperial court.

Although there may be other channels of information in the imperial court, they have their duties, and Wang Lang has the duties of Wang Lang.

The officials showed a sad look one by one.

Confidants...... It means that a large-scale military operation is about to begin.

Since Emperor Taizu Gao, there has been constant internal strife in Mongolia, and once they unite, what will happen in the future, although it is difficult to predict, but it is also known that many soldiers and civilians in Liaodong and border towns will suffer from war.

Zhu Di bowed his head, he had his own plans in his heart, and said: "The Qing family has a lot of hard work. ”

Wang Zhonglang only wanted to be innocent at this time, not to be meritorious, so he hurriedly said: "The minister returned without merit, he is already ashamed, and he will die." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned for Wang Langzhong to go back to class.

When this Wang Langzhong returned to the class, one person stood up, but it was Yushi Chen Jia.

Chen Jialang said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Annan controlled the Ministry of Rites and sent envoys to Tatar, this is a humiliation for himself, this time it is not only a return in vain, it is simply a great humiliation." The Tatars raised an army, and I still want to make peace, and peace is just enough, but I am still so provoked by the Tatars, and I think it is ...... In this matter, Annan Hou should give an explanation. ”

What should come will come.

But...... In fact, this was already expected by everyone.

This is of course understandable, and being impeached in the Ming Dynasty is the norm.

If you think that others have an enmity with you, so you do this, you are thinking too much......

Well...... That's what people do.

Zhang Anshi was cheeky and seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Zhu Di said: "At the beginning, I ordered Zhang Anshi to control the Ministry of Etiquette, hmm...... It was my command. ”

This meaning is obvious, I have hinted at the matter of peace, Zhang Anshi only went to do it, so don't get entangled.

This Chen Jia obviously didn't intend to stop there, and said: "Your Majesty, if this is Your Majesty's intention, the minister is terrified. Now that the Tatars have killed the soldiers and civilians of our border town, Your Majesty has negotiated peace with them, and you have suffered this humiliation, Your Majesty...... I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are like the sons of His Majesty, where is there anyone who is a monarch and a father who makes peace with the enemy of killing his son? ”

After a pause, he continued, "What's more...... The minister also heard that the Marquis of Annan gave great gifts on this trip, and these great gifts ...... All of them are the treasures of the world, and with the treasures of China, and bribe them with Tatars, to seek temporary peace, is this also the meaning of Your Majesty? If so, how can we deal with the people of this town? How can we deal with those soldiers and civilians who die with hatred? ”

Zhu Di never thought that this Chen Jia would not scold Zhang Anshi, but chased him, which was a wild spray.

But Zhu Di ......

Zhu Di's old face twitched, and finally a sentence popped out: "What you fucking said is reasonable, okay, I know, I will never negotiate peace in the future." ”

Chen Jia: "......"

This Chen Jia, after saying so much, just waited for Zhu Di to be angry, reprimanded himself fiercely, and then he and Zhu Di raised the bar again.

After all, it is the imperial history, and he is completely responsible for this matter, and changing a good reputation for himself is actually a shortcut to the promotion of the imperial history.

But where did you think of it...... His Majesty actually played his cards according to common sense.

He couldn't wait to yell at Zhu Di: "Come and beat me, stupid!" ”

Obviously, Zhu Di made up his mind today that he would not go as he wished, and only said: "This matter...... It's because I'm confused for a while, and I have nothing to do with the secretaries. ”

As he spoke, his face twitched, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but glare at Zhang Anshi.

However, he quickly retracted his gaze and said: "From now on, I will not share the sky with the Tatars, and I will condemn the Tatar Khan and avenge the grievances of the army and the people. ”

At this time, the officials hung their heads one by one, all silent.

People really can't lift their spirits.

It was a huge setback.

In fact, even Wei Guogong and Qi Guogong are disgraced and embarrassed.

Zhu Di also felt that this time, he had lost all his old face. But no one else can afford this responsibility, so he can only carry it.

At present, the only way is to wait for the spring of next year, and the royal drive will be a shame. If he does not beat the Tatars and the Uliangha, he will not be surnamed Zhu.

He sensed the frustration of the hundred officials, but he also sighed: "From today onwards, Zhang Qing doesn't have to control the Ministry of Rites, this Ministry of Rites is still as usual." ”

Zhang Anshi said obediently: "Yes." ”

At this time, to Zhu Di's surprise, Zheng Ci, the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been timid, stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty is not to blame for this matter, but it is actually the Marquis of Annan who made his own opinion. Why should Your Majesty take the blame for the sins of his courtiers on himself? The minister thought that Annanhou should be allowed to reflect at home and think about it ......"

Zheng Ci is timid and timid, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't make trouble.

He finally made a move at this time, he knew Zhu Di, Zhu Di wanted to save face, and now he took the responsibility on himself, nine times out of ten, he was also unwilling.

And if he gave Zhu Di a donkey to borrow a slope, His Majesty must have looked at him differently.

Of course, this will offend Zhang Anshi a little, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he offends a little, doesn't it just make him think about it? If Zhang Anshi retaliates because of this, His Majesty will definitely think that Zhang Anshi has no room for people.

Zhu Di listened to it and showed displeasure.

This matter, he just wants to turn the page quickly, don't mention it in the future, I will wait patiently until the beginning of spring, and then I will kill that ghost Lichi, you old dog, why is it endless?

Zhu Di said with a stiff face: "Zheng Qing doesn't need to say much. ”

Zheng Ci didn't expect that he was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhu Di immediately looked at Jin Zhong and asked about the preparations of the military department.

Jin Zhong didn't look like he was asleep, but he made a report in an orderly manner.

This lengthy recital made many people yawn, but Zhu Di listened very attentively, and he kept nodding his head in approval.

At this moment, the General Administration Department received a report.

After getting the report, the general political envoy saw that it was the military situation from Quang Ninh again, but he did not dare to slack off.

Yesterday, I heard that the military fort in Quang Ninh had been broken and many people had died.

The report came eight hundred miles in a hurry, and it should have happened three or four days ago, or maybe five or six days.

Wouldn't it be a day and night for Quang Ninh to be broken by the Tatars who continued to advance on the ground?

If this is the case, then the entire Liaodong will be in a predicament.

The stakes were very high, and he did not hesitate to let people report it quickly.

So a eunuch from the General Administration Department rushed to the Chongwen Hall in a hurry.

There was a court discussion going on inside, and although he was anxious, he didn't dare to rush in and disturb him, so he shook his head outside.

At this moment, Yi Shiha, who was standing behind Zhu Di, saw it.

He was silent, creeping against the wall and slowly walking out of the hall.

And inside, it is still Jin Zhong's voice about war preparations.

Yisha glanced at the eunuch and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Guangning emergency military situation, eight hundred miles to send the ...... urgently"

Yisha didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and said, "Take it." ”

Immediately, he took out the report.

This kind of military situation, in addition to the emperor, can be directly opened, only Wenyuan Pavilion, the eunuch of the celebrant supervisor, and the military department.

He had to determine what was going on, and then he had to judge the priority of the matter and see if he would immediately interrupt the proceedings.

He looked down, but his face froze, and then his face became more and more strange.

The little eunuch cautiously raised his head and stared at the change in Yishaha's face.

Yisha looked very stunned: "How is it possible? How can it be? ”

"Grand-duke, you ......"

"Let's go." It was only then that he came back to his senses.

Then he took the newspaper and returned to the temple.

He didn't walk back to Zhu Di's side, but walked quickly to Jin Zhong's side.

Jin Zhong was still reporting at this time: "Regarding the war horses, they are mainly transferred from the Hexi side, and there are 9,425 war horses, but there are signs of slackening in the Hexi horse administration, and the minister has personally inspected these war horses and noticed that there are many emaciated ......."

"Your Majesty......" Yizha interrupted Jin Zhong's words.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Yisha's body.

Quite a few people showed disgust.

This is a court discussion, even if the identity of Yisha is not ordinary, but he is just a eunuch, at this time, he is also reckless, there is a suspicion of eunuchs interfering in politics, you are also lost, and you are not qualified to speak in Chongwen Palace.

Zhu Di said calmly: "What's the matter?" ”

Yisha took a deep breath, organized the language, and said: "Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, great joy, great joy...... I'm Ming, my God, Your Majesty...... Oni Power Red ...... He's dead...... The Tatar and Uliangha tribes fought each other, killing and wounding countless people...... Quang Ninh's predicament has been solved...... Not only that, but the leader of the Uliangha tribe, as well as the Tatar Taishi Arutai, with the remnants...... All to Quang Ninh, attached to the Ming ......"

When Zhu Di heard this, his body was shocked, and his eyes showed disbelief.

The hundreds of officials were shocked one by one, and they stared at Yishu with an incredible expression.

Yishaha immediately got up, hurried to the palace, and sent the good news to Zhu Di's desk.

Zhu Di hurriedly snatched the report and looked down, but it was played by the garrison of Guangning.

When he looked closely, it was full of words such as fire, attacking each other, and killing and wounding countless people.

At this moment, Zhu Di couldn't hold back.

I couldn't tell for a moment whether it was an exaggeration.

But...... It stands to reason that at this time, what the garrison should do is to ask for help, but at this time, it is a victory, and the garrison should not be stupid enough to dare to die like this when the soldiers are approaching the city.

He took a deep breath and muttered, "Ghost Power Chi...... He's dead...... He died......"

He's dead?

These words came out of Zhu Di's mouth, and the hall was in an uproar.

People you look at me, I look at you.

Jin Zhong was a little confused, he still had a lot of things to report.

But...... If this is true, it seems that there is no need to report it.

Yang Rong's eyes lit up, but this gaze was a little doubtful at the same time.

As for the others, although they have their own thoughts, there are many people who show smiles.

Zhang Anshi was among them, a little confused.

This damned ...... It's a little soon, he's expecting...... The other person may gradually weaken, and after two months, the body may start to have problems.

But it's one thing to have a problem, it's still far from death, and if you really want to die, it should be the spring of the next year.

Don't...... Is the dose too big?

No, no......

Or...... Are these Tatars too weak?

Zhang Anshi himself is actually confused.

But at this time, he couldn't think about it, and immediately began to grin, and then he was happy.

Soon, someone realized something, and Jin Zhong said: "Annanhou, a few months ago, you said...... This Tatar Khan will die in three months or within half a year, is this what you said? ”

At this time, all eyes were on him, and Zhang Anshi said modestly: "Ashamed, ashamed......"

Jin Zhong looked at Zhang Anshi like a ghost.

Zhang Anshi's method is a bit related to metaphysics.

Metaphysics ...... Jin Zhong is in the business, after all, as a master of fortune telling, Jin Zhong is a professional.

As a professional, Kim Chung will not know...... This kind of thing of measuring people's life and death is just fucking nonsense, is it fooling people?

But now, Jin Zhong began to doubt his major, could it be ...... This Nexperia ...... Does he really have such a skill?

I saw many people looking at Zhang Anshi with strange expressions.

Zhu Di even said: "Zhang Anshi...... Why did you say that in the first place? ”

Zhang Anshi stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, the minister dared to make such a conclusion...... It's because ...... The minister had already had this plan. ”

"Planning?" Zhu Di looked at him thoughtfully and said, "You poisoned the Tatar Khan?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Anshi said: "If you want to poison, it is very difficult, that Tatar Khan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the minister is thousands of miles away, where is there any ability to poison him?" ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but be curious, and immediately asked, "Why is that?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Damn...... It's miscellaneous. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi continued: "Chen knows that there is a thing in the world, even if it does not have to be eaten, it can produce an effect similar to poisoning, this thing...... It is very rare, and the minister ordered people to visit everywhere, and this is the only way to find it. ”

"Is there anything else in the world?" Zhu Di was suspicious.

The officials also felt incredible.

After all, this is beyond everyone's comprehension.

"Only, how did you make that Tatar Khan...... What about poisoning? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Therefore, the minister asked Wang Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites to send an envoy to the Tatar Ministry and ...... Offering a big gift, under the guise of peace, is naturally in the name of peace. The Tatar Khan was empty-eyed, and naturally thought that this was because the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to fight with him, so he came to negotiate peace, and he must have been even more arrogant in his heart, and he would not notice these gifts, and he had other plans. ”

Zhu Di nodded secretly.

His face was full of red, and until now, he still felt a little unbelievable, but he said, "This thing, how to kill people?" ”

"As long as you come into contact with it, it will have an effect similar to poisoning. Over time, people will become weaker and weaker, which can be described as killing people invisibly, and eventually, when they are terminally ill and dying, their skin will fester, their ears and noses will bleed, and they will be dizzy......"

The more Zhu Di listened, the more interesting he felt, and continued to ask: "Since it's just a gift, how can you let the other party always take it with you?" ”

Zhang Anshi patiently explained: "This is easy, just give it a story, Tatars...... If you don't know allusions, even if you know, you only know a lot about allusions. Therefore, the minister deliberately said that the treasure is the daily treasure of Yuan Taizong's Wo Kotai, and he always takes it with him, and the Tatar Khan ghost is the direct descendant of Wo Kotai, and the grassland tribes, the most particular thing is the bloodline of the golden family, and regards such a bloodline as respect. This ghost power is the king's killer......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Di cautiously, and made sure that Zhu Di did not show anything, before continuing: "So...... In order to show off his bloodline, as well as the legitimacy of his bloodline from Wokotai, he must also follow the example of Wokotai, always take this thing with him, and play with it day and night. ”

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you guy...... I really figured out this ghost power's mind thoroughly. ”

"...... of the Marquis of Annam"

At this moment, someone shouted loudly.

But it's still the imperial history Chen Jia.

This Chen Jia stood up awe-inspiringly, he just couldn't touch the porcelain, and he was angry in his heart, so he stood up again at this time, and said: "This ghost is red, maybe it was just other reasons to die, but Annanhou took this opportunity to grab the credit, what Annanhou said is too incredible, it is hard to believe." ”

Many people nodded secretly.

Not bad...... It seems to make sense, people are dead, you said you killed it, you killed it?

Zhang Anshi: "......"

But at this moment...... Someone suddenly wailed: "Marquis of Annan...... What did Annan Hou say...... It's true......"

When everyone heard this, they all looked in the direction of the sound.

But it is Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

At this time, his face was pale and he trembled, as if he was about to faint at any moment.
