Chapter Ninety-Six: Ventriloquist Performance
Turning around and looking at the canopy hall next to him, Jiang Ning thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to go in and ask.
I can't say that there is some important information at my disposal.
"Elder Li Ge, are you okay lately?"
"Master Jiang?"
When Li Dongyang heard the voice, he raised his head to see the person who came, and immediately showed a smile, and personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Ning.
After Jiang Ning sat down, he asked:
"I heard that Jiang Yang thieves attacked Wu Anbo's Mansion the day before yesterday, the old man doesn't know anything about it, Lord Jiang may solve his doubts?"
Jiang Ningxuan briefly explained the matter, and said:
"According to the confessions of several captured bandits, Yang Hu has the intention of rebelling, he has accumulated a lot of money and food, and has recruited many villains and bandits, which should not be underestimated."
Li Dongyang frowned tightly:
"Then did they say that Yang Hu came to the capital, what is the so-called matter?
If he really wants to rebel, I'm afraid he won't come to the capital rashly. ”
Jiang Ning shook his head: "They didn't know either, they only knew that it was a big deal." ”
Li Dongyang pondered for a while and said:
"That's it, since they have been defeated by Lord Jiang, and now that there is a sea fishing document to spread to the world, it shouldn't be able to make much waves."
After taking a sip of tea, he continued:
"By the way, Shicai still wanted to send someone to find Lord Jiang, but he didn't want Lord Jiang to come to the door by himself, but it was a coincidence."
"Oh? What is Li Ge looking for me? ”
Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows.
Li Dongyang took the initiative to look for him, but it was really the sun that came out in the west.
"Previously, Master Jiang wrote a book to promote new crops, but the officials did not believe it, and the matter was delayed.
The old man thought that Master Jiang was not a man of letters, so he sent someone to Nanyang, and after some verification, he learned that these crops were indeed high-yielding, and there were countless people alive.
As long as it is promoted, I will not starve so many people to death again. ”
As he spoke, Li Dongyang stroked his beard with a flushed face, and even tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, looking very excited.
Jiang Ning showed joy:
"Is the elder confirmed? That's great.
When the time comes, the food problem will really be solved, and the elder should not forget what he said that day. ”
Li Dongyang said with a smile:
"I never forgot a day. But it doesn't take that time, today's old man can answer Master Jiang, if you want the country to be rich and the people strong, it is imperative to open the sea.
The old man will definitely fully support Master Jiang in opening up the sea. ”
Jiang Ning immediately got up and saluted Li Dongyang: "I thank Li Ge for being old for all the people in the world!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, the old man still wants to hear what Master Jiang has, and how to do it to smoothly open the sea?"
Jiang Ning had been thinking about it for a long time, and blurted out:
"The first thing to do is to set up the Tianjin Wei City Shipping Division, and then reopen the Guangzhou and Ningbo Shipping Divisions, which will have the most basic treaty ports.
Then, in conjunction with the three yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the laws and taxes on trade and trade should be formulated, and it is best to add a department to directly manage them.
As long as this is done, the rest of the problems are just trivial and easy to solve. ”
Li Dongyang stroked his hands and praised when he heard it:
"Lord Guanjiang talks so eloquently, and the old man knows that you have been planning for a long time, and you are really worried about the country and the people.
Then I don't know when Lord Jiang plans to give advice to His Majesty? ”
Jiang Ning pondered for a while and said, "Now is not the time, at least until the war in Northern Xinjiang is completely stabilized and subsided, so that we can safely advance the opening of the sea." ”
Li Dongyang smiled and nodded: "The old man also said that Lord Jiang would be eager for quick success, but the old man underestimated it, so he will compensate Lord Jiang." ”
Jiang Ning waved his hand: "Li Ge's words are serious. ”
As if remembering something, he re-emerged with curiosity and said:
"By the way, I ran into Lord Wang Wei and Master Zhang Yuan, saying that I had some conflicts with the elder of the pavilion, what is going on?"
Li Dongyang sighed and said:
"After Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong of the inner court took up the post of celebrant and supervisor, many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with this, so they shirked and went to the yamen office under the pretense of illness.
As a result, many important yamen have been suspended, and government affairs have piled up a lot.
Gonggong Liu was furious and issued an edict to punish this cadre. He even suggested to His Majesty that civil officials should not be awarded titles unless they made great contributions.
Just now, Lord Zhang came for this matter, hoping that the old man would persuade His Majesty to withdraw his will. ”
Jiang Ning sorted out the ins and outs, and his heart was furious.
This is the so-called Qingliu official who reads the books of the sages?!
For the sake of his own personal anger, he brazenly suspended the government affairs of the yamen, which will lead to how many government decrees are not smooth and the will is not achieved!
The most important thing is that there is still a war on the front line.
The court officials have gone on strike, how many fighters will be delayed, and how many soldiers will be killed!
However, Jiang Ning said silently on his face:
"Liu Jin and Liu's father-in-law may have a loss of personal morality, and he is not satisfactory in many places.
But in Jiang's opinion, Father-in-law Liu did it reasonably.
If this group of corrupt officials who are on a vegetarian diet do not clean up, I am afraid that they will cause endless harm in the future.
What does Li Ge think? ”
As he spoke, Jiang Ning glanced at Li Dongyang without a trace.
Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said with a smile:
What Master Jiang said was exactly what the old man was thinking. For the sake of the court, for the sake of the people of the world, what does it matter if the old man is a wicked person? ”
After leaving from the Huagai Palace, Jiang Ning went straight to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as he entered, he saw that Zhu Houzhao was not dealing with the government, but was watching the juggling.
"Jiang Shiyu, you came just in time, and you will watch it with me.
If you look at it alone, it's not interesting for two people. ”
Zhu Houzhao saw Jiang Ning and happily pulled him to sit down.
Jiang Ning couldn't refuse, so he had to look at it head-on.
These juggling are very interesting in Daming, but he came from later generations, and he has never seen anything interesting, so he really can't arouse any interest.
yawned several times in a row, and after reminiscing about last night's scenery for a while, Jiang Ning finally waited until the juggling was over.
Just when he was about to tell Zhu Houzhao about the matter, he was pressed down by him again, and said, "Don't worry, and there is still it." ”
After Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands, a gentle and beautiful female voice suddenly came from somewhere.
It's nothing, the important thing is that it's accompanied by the sound of trickling water and cuckoos.
It's ventriloquism!
Jiang Ning's eyes widened.
It was the first time he had seen such a vivid skill.
It's so realistic.
Suddenly, he thought about it, and it didn't seem like the first time.
Just last night, he just experienced it.
And Xian'er and Ming'er have not shown it before, but Yun'er's first performance is real.
As the ventriloquist performance gradually got better, Jiang Ning couldn't help but slowly immerse himself in it.
The story is about an evil young man who wants to bully a beautiful and good family, but is rescued by a wealthy son who passes by, and then the two stay and fly together.
It's old-fashioned, but it's better than the novelty of the performance.
Even many details are deduced exactly.
It's hard not to be fascinated.
was only halfway through hearing it, Zhu Houzhao, who was still relish just now, suddenly fell lonely.
"Stop, stop! Let it all go down. ”
He hurriedly stopped, and then all the sound stopped abruptly.
Jiang Ning smacked his lips unsatisfied, just hearing the wonder.
"Your Majesty, what are you?"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, he asked in astonishment.
"I, I remembered that Wanning girl.
That's how I saved her that day, but we can't do what the play says.
I even only saw her once. ”
Zhu Houzhao said, his eyes slowly turned red.
It's no wonder that it was the first time he knew what throbbing was.
"Jiang Shiyu, has there been any news of her?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "The ministers sent people to search never stopped, but there was never any news. ”
"That's it, that's it."
Zhu Houzhao was quite excited, and after being depressed for a while, he finally recovered his mood.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning began to tell his intentions: "Your Majesty, there is news from Duoyan Sanwei." ”
"Really? They promised? ”
Zhu Houzhao forgot his sadness for the time being, and said with great interest.
Jiang Ning showed a difficult color:
"It's a yes. They are willing to get close to the Ming Dynasty, reopen the mutual market, and even provide war horses for the Ming Dynasty. But they also made an unreasonable request. ”
"What requirements?"
"Huadang and Huayan Sanwei and other leaders, I hope that Your Majesty can go to Baishan Mountain in person and sign an alliance with them......"
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to explain the reason, Zhu Houzhao slammed the case, his face was full of red light and said, "Okay, I agreed!" ”
"Your Majesty rests...... What? ”
Jiang Ning originally thought that Zhu Houzhao was very angry when he felt insulted, but he didn't want him to be extremely excited, and he couldn't wait.
After a moment's thought, he understood.
Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, can't be treated with common sense.
He is very playful, and he thinks about going out of the palace to play every day, and now that he has the opportunity to be justified, it is too late to be happy.
"Your Majesty, this civil and military official may not agree."
"What are you afraid of, I am willing to take risks for the sake of my family and the people, why should they stop me?!
But the old men were really annoying, and only buzzed in my ears all day long.
In this way, we will go secretly, and as long as we get to Datong, they will not be able to speak. ”
We?
Jiang Ning chuckled in his heart.
No way......
He didn't want to leave Yun'er!
Zhu Houzhao's next words confirmed his conjecture.
"Jiang Shiyu, you go with me.
With you by my side, I really feel at ease. ”
