Chapter 118: Opening a Great Provocation on the Side (6,000 words)

Turning the corner of an alley, Liu Jin motioned to the little eunuch beside him to come forward and knock on the door.

After the sound of the bell came out, the face that appeared in the crack of the door was a thin-eyed young man with a roasted cake in his mouth, his appearance was not very good-looking, but his eyes rolled three times a second, and he seemed to be a clever person.

Liu Jin also unexpectedly heard people talk about these 'ugly things' in Nanningbo's family, he had seen Mao Rong earlier than Zhu Houzhao, and knew that with that guy's ability, he would definitely not be able to win His Highness's love.

Who does the crown prince want now? It's not the kind of scholar who is good at reciting poetry, but someone who is smart and clever enough to get things done.

This Mao Wen is looked down upon because of his identity, and now he only does the work of guarding prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department, but after a careful inquiry, he also knows that he has some reputation, and he is also a cell boss, most of the evil people in the world, he is afraid that he has seen a lot.

"Who?" Mao Wenyu half-closed the door and asked with some vigilance.

This trip,

Liu Jin is not ready to come to him secretly only as a private person, firstly, he has the prince's clear will, and secondly, a person like Mao Yuyu will not be gullible and will not reveal his identity, maybe he is playing with you behind his back, which is really troublesome.

So before his mouth, he directly removed the waist card hanging from his waist,

Mao Wenyu was eating official food, and when he saw the sign in the palace, he was immediately shocked, and immediately opened the door, inserted the baked cake between the strips of cloth around his waist, and knelt down numbly, "The villain has seen his father-in-law!"

Squeak.

Liu Jin pushed the door in, he hurriedly helped the person up, although the two identities are very different now, but not in the future. So he took out the roasted cake and sent it to Mao Wenwen's mouth, "The iron man can't bear the hunger, so let's continue to eat dinner, it's okay."

"The villain doesn't dare."

Mao Wenyu put on a flattering little face, and even the two eunuchs who followed Liu Jin did not let go, so he must keep his smile in place. Then he walked quickly and followed behind Liu Jin, "The villain doesn't know the respect of the father-in-law? Coming to the door today, there must be a place where a villain can serve?"

Liu Jin also climbed up from the bottom, and he knew that although Mao Wenwen didn't seem to have the demeanor of a descendant of Nanning Bo, only people like him could survive.

"Young Master Mao, you don't have to be polite, my surname is Liu, my name is Jin, and I am the prince of the East Palace, so I really have something important here."

Mao Wenwen's mind moved, looking at the brand, this person is a person in the palace, since he is a person in the palace, it is not false that he is the prince of the East Palace, because the people in the palace have big rules, and it is not easy to pretend to be this kind of thing.

But even if it is all the truth and full of sincerity, this Mao Gongzi still makes him feel very vigilant, after all, what status he has, what status does someone have.

So he can only act at the opportunity, "The villain has seen Gonggong Liu, and the villain received an errand to see the prison in the criminal department, isn't it...... Who is in prison...... Offended my father-in-law?"

"No, it's not. Our family is here to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions by the will of His Highness." Liu Jin beckoned, leaned closer and said, "I heard that Mao Gongzi was born in Nanning Bofu?"

Mao Yuyu's face was shocked, and he knelt down and said, "If the father-in-law has anything, just tell the villain, and the villain will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up. As for Nanning Bofu, how dare a villain climb high with a cheap life?" ….

"Ugh." Liu Jin saw that he was so skillful in denial, it was estimated that he was afraid of being taught a lesson, and he didn't dare to say anything about his life experience when he went out.

"Then let's get down to business, if you say anything about your life experience, it's not too late for you to talk about it in front of Your Highness in the future."

Mao Wen's mind is trembling, does he have a relationship with the prince of the dynasty?! Will God give him this opportunity?

"Please...... Please tell me from my father-in-law!"

When it comes to his own fate, even if he is as proficient as Mao's language, he is still nervous, and it sounds like his throat is dry.

Liu Jin didn't waste any time, he still had to rush back to the palace, so he introduced the background first, and finally said, "You know those Tatars in the capital, do you know what they are buying?"

"Villain, villain doesn't know."

Liu Jin forgave him for his caution and said to himself, "Iron tools, not even a pot. What you have to do is to find out what my Ming Dynasty is

Did anyone meet with the Tatars and secretly trade in what was forbidden by the imperial court? But if you find out, immediately report to the East Palace, and Mao Gongzi's fate will be reversed immediately, and it is not impossible to even re-enter Nanning Bofu."

As soon as Mao Wenyu heard the first half of the sentence, he felt that this matter was really difficult, and he was at most a cell boss who would make some calculations, how could he be involved in the affairs of the court and the Tatars?

So I've already started to think about how to shirk it.

But when I heard the second half of the sentence, my heart was like being blown by a gust of wind, shocking and excited, and it was difficult to hold myself.

It was a shame that he will never forget for the rest of his life!

"The villain takes the order, but please give the villain a few clever people! The villain will definitely track it down immediately!"

Liu Jin smiled, "People, I'll be here tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on you here, and if there's any progress, hang a lantern at the door."

……

……

After Liu Jin left,

Mao Wenyu rushed into the house and locked it with his backhand.

Then the man crawled under the bed, and first pushed open a wooden box, revealing a moving plank, which he lifted and took out a wooden box.

The wooden box is three things, one is a relic left to him by his mother, and it is left unmoved, and the other is a delicate short knife, which is extremely sharp, with a large withered figure on it, lifelike, at first glance, it is not a weapon that ordinary people can have, he stuffed this thing into his arms, and then brought the silver saved over the years, a total of three hundred taels, this time only one hundred taels went out.

After taking this, he blew out the oil lamp, and prepared to close the door and set off, and before leaving, he took another biscuit from behind the door and stuffed it into his mouth.

The place he was going to was the home of his own prefect, Chu Zhen, the prison director of the Criminal Department.

This person said that he was his chief, more precisely, his master, and he had been taken care of by Chu Zhen for so many years, so he lived well, and he was also clever and able to speak, and the relationship between the two was called an intimate one.

So the way into his house can be completed with his eyes closed.

The two of them went into a room,

「…… You have to know who the Tatars are buying from?" Chu Zhen was surprised, "Why do you know what a cell boss is doing here?"

Mao Yuyu said with sincerity, "Master, I call you a master. It's better that you still don't know about it, it's involved...... Too big. The overseer of your prison, do you think he is an officer? It's the size of a sesame mung bean compared to here." ….

"I'm a wild child between heaven and earth, I don't care, you're different, master, so it's best not to ask me questions, just tell me."

Chu Zhen heard this tone, "Did something happen?"

"It's a problem, but it's not a bad thing." Mao Wenyu rubbed his nose, and there was still a bit of wildness and excitement in his tone, "Okay, master, time is tight. I remember that Li Chun, the Lianghuai Salt Transport Commander we arrested last year, mentioned that some merchants in our Ming Dynasty were rich and rival countries, and it seemed that they were doing business outside the border. That Li Chun was replaced later......

"Huh!" Chu Zhen interrupted him with a scolding. Li Chun was not in the area that Mao Wenyu was responsible for, he thought that this guy didn't know, but he didn't expect that he just didn't say it.

"Can't you find another way? You have to start here?"

Mao Wenyu said: "This time I came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty is said to be the third son of the little prince, Balsborot, although it is a prince of the north, but it is also the prince, and the place where he lives is the protection of the three layers inside and the outside, you let me go to that kind of place to listen to the news?"

"Master!" Mao Yu was in a hurry.

"Don't rush," Chu Zhen got up and opened the door, looked left and right, and said, "Tell you that my life is at stake. Either you let me go with you, or you don't get the news out of my mouth."

"How dare I?" Mao Yu exploded, "You are with me, isn't it that I will tell you what I have to explain to you again?" Don't talk about me when the time comes, you won't be able to live, master! You can believe me once, as long as you find that Li Chun, I will kill him, right?"

"That...... That'll do." Chu Zhen

After thinking about it, "You go north, go to Datong, and inquire about a person named Ning Wuren."

"Master Xie! If I can come back alive, I will repay you for your great kindness!"

……

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Mao Wenwen spent a lot of money near the imperial city, and chose a location with a wide view on the second floor of the Linglong Restaurant, which is often visited by the official family, and waited for a long time, and suddenly a high-pitched call sign came when it was close to noon!

"I want to be dignified, the kingdom of heaven, the state of etiquette! The prince of a country actually ordered to stop the silver that entertained foreign envoys! The small people's family also knows the friendship of the landlord, and the country is a country!"

The people couldn't understand what he was saying,

Xiao Er, who served the food, put his head out to see what was going on, and when he came back, he chatted with Mao Wen, "What are those adults called?"

"Like you and me, for a few taels of silver. Didn't 500 Tatars come to Kyori recently? They ate and drank from the state treasury, but now the prince decreed that he should save the money and tell the Tatars to pay for it themselves."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this a good thing? What are those adults called?"

"I don't understand either, I guess...... It's a loss of face." Mao Wenyu scratched his head, he couldn't understand this section, in his concept, face is not worth a few dollars, like him, if he must save face, he may lose his life.

But in this way, what Liu Jin said yesterday has been verified.

In fact, His Highness not only wants to stop this money, but also to find out who is doing some shady business with the Tatars. ….

Which one...... He is indeed a wise man,

It's a pity that he can't see the drama here.

And one of the characters who staged this big drama and was quite helpless, Honglu Siqing Zhou Du faced the stinky face of Balsborot, the leader of the Tatar mission and the third son of Dayan Khan.

When Zhou Du finished speaking, he asked incredulously, "Lord Zhou, what does Emperor Ming mean by this? I, the Great Khan, thought that the two countries would be friendly, so I was sent here. Is this the sincerity of your ceremonial nation now?"

Zhou Du couldn't say anything.

None of this will was his intention.

But the Holy Purpose is forward, and can only do but not say.

"Third Prince, this is a holy decree, no matter how much you yell at me, it is useless. I am the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty, so I naturally respect the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Smack!" Balsborough's face flushed with anger, "You're insulting me! Insult me Great Yuan Great Khan! When I return, I will tell my father Khan the truth, and I hope that your Emperor will have the courage to issue such an edict!"

Speaking of which, the title of the Great Yuan Great Khan is the self-title of the little prince in the table, and when this was mentioned for the first time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also had a heated debate on it, thinking that the little prince's words were perverse, and he regarded himself as an enemy country, of course, in the end of the discussion, he felt that there was no need to delve into it.

Zhou Du felt that he was at a loss, his lack of confidence, and Balsborough's tone was extremely arrogant, which made him feel a little humiliated, so he didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so he just slapped himself and left.

Anyway, I'm just passing on a will, if you're not satisfied, don't rush at me!

"I want to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhou Du ignored him and disappeared after playing.

And in the outer world, on the streets of the capital, a team of soldiers came out with guns, and they patrolled back and forth on the streets as if they had appeared overnight!

When Balsborough saw this stance, he was shocked.

At the same time, a girl with braided hair came out of the house, "Third brother, but what did you do? Why are there so many Ming soldiers outside?"

"You go in first." Balsborot's eyes were a little more worried, "I have to remind them that there is such a change in the Ming Court, it should be related to their crown prince who has been in the limelight recently. It is said that the man was extremely clever and resourceful, and if he succeeded in ascending the throne, he would be in the future

It must be a great trouble for my father's henchmen!"

Some people say that the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty is like Renzong, because he is generous and compassionate, and some people say that he is like Taizong, because he acted decisively, and his hand fell with a knife, and it didn't take long for a minister to die under his knife.

In the eleven years since his reign, he has not killed several ministers.

"I think this news is more important than how much cloth and ironware we buy. Third brother, let's endure it, and we have to go back alive to tell our father Khan! There was a conflict for these few silvers, and we and the warriors of the tribe would give their lives in vain, and that prince was different from the current Emperor Ming! He's going to kill!" ….

Balsborough clenched his fists, "Don't be afraid. Father Khan's hundreds of thousands of warriors are just outside Datong Pass, and they don't dare to do anything to us!"

"Father Khan doesn't even know that Da Ming has such a powerful prince! The Han people have a saying, "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles!" Do you want your father Khan to fight without knowing that the enemy has changed?!"

"That can't just let them be insulted! I must meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

……

The Qianqing Palace has been waiting for two days,

In the past two days, there will be reports from time to time outside the palace:

When the Tatar envoy heard the decree, although they were angry, they did not do anything, but only said that they would enter the palace to meet them.

Emperor Hongzhi is now determined, this is one of his few glorious moments of diplomacy, how can a young man and an emperor have a bad face?

He was inspired, and his heart was filled with excitement,

But Zhu Houzhao is much calmer than him.

There is even some disappointment, it seems that these so-called warriors are worse than the northern warriors of the era of Temujin, Kublai Khan, and Emperor Taiji Dorgon. Therefore, there is no achievement in history of these minority leaders.

Dayan Khan, the so-called lord of Zhongxing, is still a little worse than the founding king who really laid the foundation.

「…… It seems that they will not cause any disturbance." Zhu Houzhao said and looked at Xie Qian,

The scholar of the Eastern Pavilion was worried that the Emperor would make some disturbances among the Tatars.

But Xie Qian also has something to say: Who knows that you are looking for 5,000 people to watch from outside for these 500 people?!

"This palace said before, in my Ming capital, there are only 500 people, what can they do?"

This kind of thing is supposed to depend on the size of the fist.

But that decree was forcibly issued by the emperor, and in fact, many people were not satisfied.

It is in the warm pavilion, there is also the left capital of the imperial Shi Dai Shan into the words,

"Your Highness, although it can be expected that the little prince has the ambition to invade my Ming Dynasty, but after today's actions, some people will inevitably say in the future that the reason why the little prince invaded was because we were not polite and deliberately provoked the little prince."

This is to say that this method is really not clever.

Zhu Houzhao wondered, "Hasn't the little prince been making mistakes? Why do you say it's because of the main palace?"

Dai Shan replied: "Your Highness can know that three years after Wang Weining's (Wang Yue) victory in Weininghai, the little prince led more than 30,000 horsemen to Koubian, which was revenge for Weininghai's victory. Therefore, some people said at the time that this was a big provocation. Since then, there has been no peace on the border, the soldiers and horses are exhausted, the transportation is exhausted, the public funds and private savings are all bare, the border people are unbearable, and the redundancy of the military ranks is invincible."

The meaning of this is that the blame king Yue hurt the Tatars and caused them to retaliate, so it is called 'open a big provocation on the side,'

Zhu Houzhao was angry when he heard this, "How can there be such a lake? No one should say such unproductive things this time, right?!"

Emperor Hongzhi flipped through a book and brought it to the crown prince, "Huang Wenyou, the political envoy of Shandong. Recently, he has connected two folds. What he said was also Dai Shan's words, worried that the will of the imperial court would cause a big disaster, and it would not even take long to attract a larger scale of Kou Bian from the little prince! Hey, others are in Shandong, and they are even more scared than I am in Beijing." ….

Zhu Houzhao: "......"

"Father! The retainers ask that this man be arrested!"

When Dai Shan and the others heard this, they were shocked, "Your Highness, don't!"

"Why not?!"

Dai Shan spoke very quickly, "Huang Wenyou is a courtier, and it is his duty to admonish, why is there a reason why he arrests the court officials and puts them in prison because he doesn't like a word?"

"Definitely!" Zhu Houzhao stood up and said seriously, "What I want to govern is an official like Huang Wenyou. Every great victory of the imperial court is fought by the soldiers of the border army with blood and life, that generation won the fight, and the future generations will not win, is it to say that the ancestors have made a big provocation? ! According to this reasoning, the first emperor three ploughs the court, and Emperor Taizong's five expeditions to Mobei, wouldn't it be a bigger provocation? Isn't Huang Wenyou's excerpt even the first emperor and Emperor Taizong also blamed?! What is the use of such an unproductive official?!"

"In addition, Huang Wenyou's letter actually blamed the soldiers who won the battle, if such officials are not treated, and they are allowed to make noise in the court and spread it, wouldn't it chill the hearts of my Ming soldiers? His father didn't let him go to the front line, and he still messed with our army in Shandong. What is the use of such a brainless official?"

Dai Shan thought to herself, can this still be said?

Zhu Houzhao didn't know why so many people had the idea that 'as long as I am obedient, the enemy will not hit me', and this crooked wind must be stopped.

Last time, it was also this Huang Wenyou, who said something about the eunuch party.

This kind of dead-brained official will never be able to go against him, the prince, so it's better to take it as soon as possible.

But Dai Shan still seems to be a little unacceptable,

"Your Highness, if you arrest the courtiers for such a reason, then I am afraid that hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty will be imprisoned for questioning!"

The point that Dai Shan wanted to say was that the prince, your reason for arresting people is really not sufficient, because everyone is like this, and it will be boring for you to compare this.

It's ruthless to say, let's put it bluntly: That is, do you understand the court, prince? !

But maybe it's because this Zuodu Yushi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have less fights, so it's so easy to speak.

For example, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's hearts sank when they heard his words, and they suddenly felt quite inappropriate.

Zhu Houzhao's face really changed, "Dai Shan! What do you mean by that?! According to your words, what to do in this court depends on the number of people? Hundreds of people think it's wrong, then the main palace is not right? If this is really the case, a few hundred people will force the palace, and the prince of this palace will not be able to sit still?!"

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian sighed: What are you talking about?

Dai Shan was buttoned by this big hat, her heart was flustered, and she knelt down and said, "There is no such disobedience in the minister's heart! The minister was just saying...... There is nothing wrong with an official like Huang Wenyou, and he is also loyal and patriotic, if he is arrested like this, won't it make officials all over the world shocked?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Then what did he say that he shocked the hearts of the border soldiers? Three days ago, the palace also received a report on the military situation at the border pass, and at this time Wang Yue was fighting a bloody battle with the Tatars, and some officials in the court and China actually said that he had made a big provocation on the border. How do you calculate this account?"

"Your Majesty." Li Dongyang spoke at this time, "The minister also thinks that His Highness's concern is a move to be done, and at this time when the war at the border pass is not over, Huang Wenyou can hardly escape the crime of disturbing the morale of the army, and if he is not treated, it is not enough to comfort the heroic souls who died on the battlefield."

Dai Shan's face changed, how could Li Dongyang say the opposite thing to him?!

Li Ge Lao's thoughts, only Xie Ge Lao can understand, "Minister, second."

He knew that Li Dongyang didn't want to go against Dai Shan, this was to save him, because if he continued to fight, the prince would probably take Dai Shan together.

Fortunately, Dai Shan is not Zhou Jing's character, and she did not die. The two elders said so, and he didn't have to say anything more.

When the emperor saw that there was still such an effect, he felt even more proud of his son's ability to control the minister. As long as he opened his mouth, these people would have to do so if they didn't want to.

"Then pass on the decree and arrest Huang Wenyou, the political envoy of Shandong, into Beijing! Wait for the fall! Other than that...... The fact that Balsborough is going to enter the palace for an audience......

"Father." Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to ask, "The son is the prince, and he has the responsibility of receiving foreign envoys, plus

That will also come from the son, and this Balsborough will let the son-in-law deal with it first."

The emperor glanced at the expressions of the ministers, and found that they seemed to have no opinions, so he waved his hand,

"Quasi-play!"
