After the face was finished, the Dutch mission carried the rewards of the Ming Empire and the trade order signed by Zheng Haizhu, and went back to Batavia to hand over the East India Company.

Four years ago, Governor Cohen was nearly impeached and removed from power by his opponents at home because of his defeat at the Battle of Minhol.

Fortunately, the Dutch still have business in recent years, and this time they have to see the face of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

The hawks in Amsterdam who were sure to defeat the Eastern Empire by virtue of their ability to sail ships and cannons finally stopped making wild remarks about the doves in the Ming-Dutch relationship for the time being, but released their war hormones to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, preparing to occupy that military stronghold before the British.

Zheng Haizhu met Tian Ergeng of Dongchang in the broken ruins of Cuihua Hutong at the curfew of one day.

Another project in her work plan can enter the tackling stage.

Since Wei Zhongxian went to Luoyang to draft a draft girl for the crown prince Zhu Youxiao, Tian Ergeng began to meet Zheng Haizhu alone.

In the night at this moment, Tian Ergeng faced the woman in the shadows, according to the number of roads she liked, without any greetings, and talked directly.

"Mrs. Zheng's anti-plot method is very good, the deputy head of our hometown Changping in Dongchang really caught Wang Tiqian, led him to run to the long-lived lord with self-righteousness, gave you eye medicine, and said that you talked about business with Hongmao in private."

"I know this," Zheng Haizhu said, "what about the others?" ”

"A few other cases, oh," Tian Ergeng felt that Zheng Haizhu's questioning was like a martial artist's sword, one move followed another, and it was not broken, but fortunately, his Lao Tian quickly got used to it, "The second case, Li Guifei asked someone to ask Wang Tiqian to buy a woman, and the third case, Jingtaiwa's yard, people and furnishings are all good." ”

"Are you also on the pot for making tofu brains and making fried sauce?" Zheng Haizhu asked.

Tofu brain and fried noodles are the earthy foods that Wang Tiqian's subordinates made very well when he led the imperial dining room.

The unlucky prince Zhu Changluo, because he liked to eat these two things very much, was ridiculed by Zheng Guifei in front of Emperor Wanli, saying that Zhu Changluo's food taste was very similar to his lowly mother.

When he was in Doukong Mansion in Shandong, Zhu Youzhen saw the sauce dipped in pancakes at the street stalls, and he said, his father is now the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to laugh at him anymore if he loves fried noodles, but his father complained that after Wang Tiqian went to the celebrant supervisor, the fried noodles in the imperial dining room became worse and worse.

Zheng Haizhu wrote down this section, which happened to be used to add drama.

"It's all done properly, don't worry, Madame, Tian is a good ancestor, and when he was the first to be Jin Wuwei, he also looked at the furnishings in the palace, and painted the gourd in the same way, which is not bad."

Tian Ergeng still answered the question fluently.

Zheng Haizhuwaner: "You are in the palace, you do have very capable eyes and ears, and you stole my velvet handkerchief in the Wenhua Palace. ”

Tian Ergeng sneered: "It's not Lao Wei who asked me to do it, he said that he confessed to you early in the morning, and you also taught him." Hey, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Madam, Mrs. Wei, indeed, she is clearly a pheasant level, and she still wants to climb high branches without giving up, I also said this in front of Lao Wei. ”

Zheng Haizhu said: "Okay, the next move is to feed it to Ke Yinyue." Ke Yinyue knows that you and Lao Wei are brothers, right? ”

Tian Ergeng nodded.

"Then tomorrow, you will send fifty taels of silver to Keyinyue, and say that Lao Wei instructed you before going to Henan, and you will transfer the filial piety of those charcoal households in the north to his mother-in-law. Then, Ke Yinyue will definitely ask, why is there so little, you say, Lao Wei left more than half, looking for a tooth person to look at the house in Changping. ”

Tian Ergeng smiled predictively: "Understood." ”

Zheng Haizhu lifted the lantern in his hand, shone it on Tian Ergeng, and said with a smile: "Lao Tian, do you already have a picture in your mind now?" Tell me, what do you think will happen to me? ”

Tian Ergeng leaned into the light: "I guess, Mrs. is waiting for the time when the Lord of Long Live will go to Changping for summer vacation." ”

"Hehe, in the end, you can lead the East Factory, Lao Tian, you are much more powerful than the old men who coaxed the court with cowhides."

Tian Ergeng was a little soothed by the woman's admiring gaze, and said pleasantly: "Madam, Lao Tian, I still say the same thing, the method of torturing people in Dongchang has a lot of tricks, and it is more useful than that of Beizhen Fusi." If Madame wants to teach civil officials a lesson in the future, no matter which party it is, as long as Madame can let Long Live Ye be willing to give a driving post, and our Dongchang can detain people, my Lao Tian will definitely clean them up and obey. ”

Jung Hae-joo fell silent.

Tian Ergeng was a little worried.

How? Did you express your feelings?

Before Wei Zhongxian went to Luoyang, he told him not to be clever enough to influence this woman's mind.

But Tian Ergeng doesn't believe in evil, and has been thinking about it recently, and she has to slowly make Zheng Haizhu and those Wenchen who claim to be upright and gentlemen, so that she can really be in the same breath with them.

At this moment, Tian Ergeng, who tried to brainwash the woman again, finally waited for the other party's reaction.

"Lao Tian," Zheng Haizhu sighed, "They may not have enough brains, but they are all bloody people. There is an old saying that people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death. I have not seen the scene of torture of scholars to extract confessions, and they are not afraid. Therefore, the best way for them is not to send them to your East Factory, but to send them out of Beijing. For example, Yang Lian. ”

Tian Ergeng's eyes rolled.

The bad news is that the woman is hard to convince herself; But the good news is that this woman is not like Wang An who rushes to kneel and lick Yang Lian and others, it should be neat or tidy.

Tian Ergeng said happily: "Madame was born in a school, and Tian can understand it after such a teaching." No matter how much the civil officials talk nonsense, they will send them to whichever piece they want. You can do it, you can do it. ”

"That's right. Let's go back. ”

Zheng Haizhu picked up the lantern, took a few steps behind Tian Ergeng, and walked out of the ruins.

She stared at Tian Ergeng's back, and remembered that in another time and space, it was this Tian Ergeng, together with another accomplice Xu Xianchun, after Wei Zhongxian gained power, he tortured Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou to the end, sandbags pressed his chest, iron nails filled his ears, and his skin was burned with cannons......

This is a record that middle school students have learned in textbooks, and Zheng Haizhu is also terrified, his mind is full of maggots in the edict prison, crawling all over the bodies of Yang and Zuo.

Perhaps it was because of the fact that Yang Zuo, who was not good enough in administrative ability, but his character and backbone were still online, last year, Donglin turned his face and wanted to drive her away, and Zheng Haizhu still did not take advantage of the harsh corporal punishment of the factory guard line, but set a trap on the public political achievements and counterattacked.

People can't fight for power and end up in the category they hate.

……

The heat has arrived.

This summer's Beijing city is particularly hot, and the officials who were brushed off in the spring inspection seized the opportunity to let their protégés spread gossip such as Si Chen and the heavens.

There are two chickens, one is Li Guifei of Yikun Palace, and the other is Zheng Haizhu, who has just finished receiving the Hongyi people and has done his best to help Li Guifei tinker with the auspicious land of the country's father-in-law.

In Yikun Palace, Zheng Haizhu drank the mung bean soup that had been frozen in the well water, and said to Li Guifei: "A dog that barks fiercely doesn't bite, so you don't need to care." But long live the lord, isn't it a little summer? Yesterday, Huang Zunsu returned to Beijing and played the construction expenses of Daning Town with the officials of the Ministry of Industry. ”

The more Zheng Haizhu mentioned the details frankly after facing the saint, the less suspicious Li Guifei became.

But the reason for Zhu Changluo's poor spirits, she couldn't talk directly to the woman in front of her.

What is the summer of boiling, the country and the people are safe, all the countries come to congratulate, the country (the position of the prince) is also set, the courtiers with their tails are also cleaned up, the household is not so tight, the emperor naturally keeps warm and indulges, and the frequency of lucky people in the harem is also high.

However, when he was forty years old, the doctor also said that there was a precursor to heart disease, and after indulging in it, he naturally looked tired.

"Niangniang, the yamen of the left and right departments are still peaceful, and there are no slaves in several large towns in Liaodong, or will you accompany the long-lived Lord to Changping for the summer?"
