Ambassador Yang hugged left and right, and watched one by one in front of the tribute courtyard so arrogantly.

Of course, this will be tried for many days.

In fact, there are three games, one for three days, and the whole three days are locked inside, and there is still half a month to release the list after the exam, and it is now February, and the real results will be in March.

So there was plenty of time for the various rumors he had created to ferment.

In fact, in the afternoon of the same day, he promised Wang Hui, the son of Shanxi, in front of the Gongyuan that he would definitely give him a jinshi, and it spread as quickly as possible in the capital.

Then by the afternoon of the next day, it became his promise to all the Shanxi lifters, and then it became that His Majesty the Emperor had been forced to promise to give Shanxi the lifters ten jinshi, and then it became twenty, and so the number of jinshi continued to increase, and by the time the first three days of the examination of these lifters came out, he was shocked to learn that at least fifty of the Shanxi lifters had been selected for the jinshi......

It is also said that there is a clear eye.

What Ambassador Yang entered the palace late at night, and what he fought with the emperor face to face.

The grapevine is also rude.

In short, His Majesty the Emperor finally agreed to give at least fifty Jinshi to Shanxi in this section.

Of course, the lifters, including the Shanxi lifters, also scoffed at these rumors, after all, there are usually dozens of subjects at present, but anyway, those Shanxi lifters also seem to have a sudden reliance in their hearts.

Fifty is certainly unrealistic.

But what about ten?

The Shanxi gentlemen, who had been suppressed by the southern scholars, suddenly saw the light of hope......

"Ambassador, what the hell do you want to do?"

Zhu Di looked at Yang Feng with interest.

In just a few days, this matter has been known to everyone in the capital, but Zhu Di knows very well that Yang Feng is really just talking about it, not to mention looking for the emperor to ask for a quota of scholars, even the emperor's grandson He didn't mention it. But with Zhu Di's intelligence ability, he knows very well that these increasingly fierce rumors are probably spread by Yang Feng himself, and his righteous daughters are everywhere like little mice in the capital. and then spread banned books, spread rumors, abduct young children, and bewitch women from good families, which has long been denounced by Ying Tianfu as the number one evil in the capital, as long as the rumors that suddenly spread on a large scale are right to find them.

It can be said that the culprit behind the deterioration of the atmosphere in the capital is this group of girls who seem to be the little demons under the demon king.

The widow was deceived by them and refused to keep the feast.

The young man was bewitched by them and refused to learn the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Even the girls were bewitched by them, sneaking into some shameless fancy dresses, and openly showing their calves in the summer......

Well, this one is actually mainly his sister.

After all, it would be a pity that his sister's two long legs didn't wear a short skirt.

And this time, these rumors can spread so quickly, basically they can do it.

"King, I'm actually curious, what do you want to do?"

Yang Feng said.

At this time, they were on a 5,000-material ship in the middle of sea trials.

This ship already has a bit of a sail battleship, but it uses a swooker, so the firepower cannot be compared with the sail battleships of the same class in later generations, just a row of gun doors, plus deck guns, and the maximum gun is only six catties. There were even some rapid-fire guns on board, but taking into account the current situation at sea, as well as the main tasks ahead, this configuration was quite enough.

After all, with a thirty-two-pounder gun, there are no enemy ships worth bombing.

Zhu Di is now all about shipbuilding.

At present, 18 ships have been built, including two ships of 5,000 materials and 16 ships of 3,000 materials.

Train sailors while building ships.

Ten ships have already been transferred to Zhoushan for training at sea.

However, one was sunk on the rocks.

According to the original plan, in early May, all 24 warships were completed and personally commanded by Zhu Di, and sailed to the Edo Guard that had been built in Fuso......

It's Edo.

The dividing line between the Fuso Metropolitan Command Envoy and the Wakoku was the Sumida River.

However, Edo Castle was under the command of the Fuso Metropolitan Mission.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ashikaga clan, the prime minister of the Wa Kingdom, started from Kamakura, His Majesty the Emperor was lenient and left them with a small half of the Kanto Plain, and King Yan would have originally wanted to divide the entire area into the Fuso Command Mission. However, after all, they were the Kamakura shogunate, and His Majesty the Emperor learned of the relationship between the Ashikaga clan and Kamakura, and specially ordered them to leave a piece. However, because of its strategic location, Edo Castle was just suitable for the transportation of materials for the Ming army, so it was considered that the Ashikaga clan specially dedicated it to the Ming Emperor in order to sponsor the Ming Emperor to welcome Jiahe, and the Ming Emperor naturally smiled happily and praised his loyalty.

In short, it is Edowei, and it is also the port of departure for Yingjiahe.

At the beginning of May this year, the fleet went north.

Then go to Edoei for another three months of acclimatization training and get everything ready.

Set sail in early August.

Of course, at that time, it was not King Yan who commanded, but Ma He who led the team.

In response to Yang Feng's strange question, Zhu Di just smiled slightly.

"King, we are not outsiders, as for what I want to do, I can say clearly, I just want to have fun, because I got the grapevine, Liu Sanwu and others want to teach the northerners a lesson. In the previous incident in Shanxi, the performance of the northern officials and the Shanxi gentry made the southern Wenchen very annoyed, after all, the success of Shanxi made them envious and jealous. So they are going to use the right to take the main exam, and no one in this subject will take it, and I will add fuel to the fire to them to see if they really have the courage to do it.

But what exactly do you want to do?

You can say it clearly, you know I won't tell the imperial grandson.

If your goals are in line with my principles, then I can help you as much as I can. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Xiao Wang has already played, and he has asked to move to Fusang."

Zhu Di said.

Yang Feng looked at him quietly......

"However, Xiao Wang asked himself to go through the East, and all the affairs of the East will be handled by Xiao Wang, which can be in line with the principle of ambassadors."

Zhu Di said.

"Exactly."

Yang Feng said.

So he's officially quitting?

Of course, Yang Feng is not sure that this is what he really thinks, after all, it is still a little surprising that a person like Zhu Di admits defeat so easily, the situation is indeed unfavorable for him, but no matter how unfavorable it is, it will be unfavorable when there are eight hundred guards left by his nephew? At that time, he didn't admit defeat, and he was much better at this time than he was then.

With a powerful fleet in hand, it can control 20,000 sailors.

There are also three guards in the back.

If he retreats to Fuso, this strength alone will be enough to divide one side.

"How does the ambassador want to help me?"

Zhu Di said.

"I'll talk about it when Ying Jiahe comes back, but the king can rest assured, it's hard to say anything else, but if you want to say that the king and the brothers of the three guards are not short of gold and silver, this Yang can still guarantee it."

Yang Feng said.

Isn't it simple to not lack gold and silver?

Go to the Americas to pan for gold, and then there are huge silver mines in Mexico.

But I'm afraid that King Yan doesn't want to just be a rich man!

Zhu Yuanzhang is getting older and older, and now he is accumulating strength, preparing for a fight after his death, not only Zhu Di, but also the king of Chu has hundreds of thousands of troops in Annam, and he has been deliberately procrastinating, and it is obvious that he can't let go of the military power in his hands. The king of Xiang took over from the king of Chu to suppress Xiangxi and Guizhou, and it was obviously dragging on, after all, the Jin Dynasty had clearly told them that once the imperial grandson succeeded to the throne, he would not let them have a good life.

Although Zhu Yunwen suffered a series of blows, he probably would not admit defeat.

There was no way back for him.

In short, Da Ming is moving towards the most dangerous moment step by step, and everyone is waiting for the moment when His Majesty the Emperor will die.

Half a month later.

Embassy of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Living room on the third floor.

"Come, come, don't be restrained, I'm not a Longtan tiger's den here."

Yang Feng looked at the invited lifters.

Wang Wei hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a groveling posture......

"Ambassador, because there were many people in front of the Gongyuan that day, the students were afraid that people with ulterior motives would spread rumors and slander and damage the reputation of the ambassador, so they did not dare to rashly meet the ambassador, and I came here today to ask for guilt."

He said.

These are all Shanxi lifters.

At this time, half a month has passed since the end of the exam, and I was anxiously waiting for the list to be released, but I was suddenly forcibly invited by the righteous girl group......

Of course, half push and half do!

Although as a Confucian scholar and Yang Feng are close, it is indeed easy to cause the displeasure of the examiners, but the problem is that they can only succumb to Yang Feng's obscenity now, everyone is from Shanxi, although Yang Feng only has the right to tax in Shanxi, but he controls the economy of Shanxi.

And the gentry family behind them, if they want to develop in industry and commerce, they must be subservient in front of Yang Feng......

Make money!

No chills!

"You and I are also old acquaintances, and I relied on you to give me advice at the beginning, so why be so polite.

Sit all, sit wherever you like! ”

Yang Feng helped him up while motioning for the other lifters to find a place to sit down.

Wang Wei hurriedly put on a posture like an old acquaintance, beckoned the others to sit down, and those people also sat down from their hearts and looked curiously at this gorgeous hall, looking at the dazzling furnishings. Although it is true that the north has not developed into a witch-hunting anti-Yang in the south, many of them have actually been studying in the capital for a long time, so in order to avoid being hit by those southern classmates, they also try not to touch the things that come out of Wutai Mountain. After all, the family is powerful, and behind them are Liu Sanwu, Huang Zicheng and other close ministers of the Son of Heaven, Xu Guan, Lu Yuanzhen and other officials with real power in the Ministry of Rites.

But get through it now.

The exams are over, it is estimated that the list will be released in the next two days, and they will all be officials in the future, what are they afraid of doing?

As for the results of the examination......

Everyone prides themselves on being rich in learning and five cars, and their literary talents are flying, how can they fail the exam?

At this time, one by one the flowery girls walked upstairs and brought them tea, and a few of them smiled at them, which made them feel the happiness of catching their sons-in-law in a trance for a while.

"Ambassador, the student Xiyang County is Jiao Sheng, I don't know if the ambassador is summoned today, what can I send?"

A lifter said cautiously.

"Sent?

You misunderstood, I just want to get to know the talents of Shanxi today, and in the future, the taxes in Shanxi will be contracted by me, and I and you are also a family, and you are my brothers. Now that you will try it in the capital, it is indispensable to be a jinshi, and in the future you will be an official in the imperial court, and I have to ask you for help, and today I invite you to come and drink and talk happily.

Don't think about it!

Just come to drink, let my righteous daughters take you around, and if you have anything you like, you're welcome, it's my gift to you in advance.

In the future, you will all be jinshi, and you will be officials. ”

Yang Feng said.

"The ambassador laughed, and now the list has not been released, and it is unknown whether he will be able to win."

The other man said very modestly.

Then everyone else also modestly said that they were only shallow in their studies, and it was already a fluke to be able to come to participate in the examination, how could it be so easy to get in, and there were not a few in Shanxi, even if there were only ten or twenty in the entire northern one, it would be good to have five or six in the exam.

"Don't be so modest, you are all hard to read, and those southern people learn the same Four Books and Five Classics, with the same effort, they don't have two heads, why can't they pass the test. You can rest assured, I have already looked for Your Majesty, I dare not say that there are many of these subjects, and it is still stable to give ten Jinshi to Shanxi, but Your Majesty can't do it too obvious after all, and you have to prevent others from blushing, so I won't give you Jinshi directly, and this palace test still has to pass. But you can rest assured, Your Majesty has already instructed Liu Sanwu that you must take ten Shanxi nationals in the examination no matter what, I heard that when you take the exam, you can distinguish the people there with an article? ”

Yang Feng said.

"Back to the ambassador, the style of writing in the north and south is different, but it is easy to distinguish, my Jin people Confucianism has also become its own school, we are all under the guidance of the three elders of Xiongshan, and we are also old friends with the Humble Nunnery, it is not difficult to recognize."

A lifter hurriedly said.

"The Three Elders of Xiongshan?"

Yang Feng was at a loss.

"Ambassadors, Hu Yuanshangshu Li Tingfanggong, Hu Yuanhubu Shangshu Dong Shoudaogong, and Li Tingfang's in-laws Du Shu'angong, the three of them established Xiongshan Academy, which is the sect of Confucianism in the Three Jin Dynasty, and most of us are studying in Xiongshan Academy."

The man hurriedly said.

"This is also a great Confucian! In fact, I also respect Confucianism, you see, I and Yan Shenggong are like brothers, those who say that I am an enemy of Confucianism are irresponsible rumors, I have been to worship Confucius. In short, from today on, we are a family, what is the matter with the court, you help me, Shanxi business and fortune, I will take you, you are officials, I am businessmen, we are officials and businessmen, good brothers, and we are blessed together. ”

Yang Feng picked up the teacup and said.

Those lifters also let go one by one, and quickly stood up and picked up their teacups......

"It's all on the list, and I don't want to see the list."

Then a woman's voice rang out.

They all turned their heads, and then they saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, dressed in a long dress, walking up......

"What are you doing in a daze? It's out! ”

The little princess said.

Those people forgot everything in an instant, they didn't even bother to say goodbye, let alone salute, they ran to the stairs in a chaotic way, and one of them was in a hurry, almost falling at the feet of the little princess, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Feng and the little princess were left in the living room.

Yang Feng looked at her with an inquiring gaze.

"Not a single northerner."

The little princess said.

Then she finally couldn't hold it back and laughed happily there......
