"What?"

Jiang Ning was shocked, grabbed the collar of the Minister of Manraka, and said with red eyes: "What are you eating!" ”

Anger and worry mingled in his heart, and he quickly ran out of the palace.

The minister hurriedly grabbed it and cried: "My lord, I should send troops to pursue it now, I won't be able to catch up if it's too late." ”

"Bastard thing!"

Jiang Ning slapped him with a backhand and knocked him to the ground: "Some gold and silver treasures, if you lose them, you will lose them, how can they be more precious than human lives!" ”

With that, he turned and hurried away.

The minister was beaten with gold stars in his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "All that can be lost is the property of our country's treasury." ”

Jiang Ning ran into a house as fast as he could, only to see He Yuyao's beautiful eyes closed, her face pale and fall to the ground, her clothes soaked in blood, which made people feel pity for her at a glance.

Diana was crouching on the ground, looking at her with teary eyes, trying to help her up, but fearing that her injuries would worsen.

"Honey, look at Sister Yuyao, she is so badly injured."

Seeing Jiang Ning coming in, Diana couldn't hold back her sadness any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Yao'er, you, how are you? Are you okay? ”

Jiang Ning's lips trembled, and he squatted down and called He Yuyao nervously.

But He Yuyao has been in a coma, and there is no reaction at all.

"Find a doctor, come on, quickly find a military doctor for me!"

Wu Cannu replied yes and ran away.

At this time, Minister Manraka ran in, Jiang Ning looked at him with red eyes, and roared:

"Who did that?!"

"Great, my lord, those people are dressed in black and black-faced, but they seem to be holding Japanese knives, and they also call out the name and surname of the Japanese country.

I think it was done by the Japanese people who lived on the island before. ”

Jiang Ning was furious and shouted:

"Come on, let me sail to sea, and chase the murderer back to this official as soon as possible!"

Even if the ship is sunk, the corpse will be fished up!

Also, count the captured pirates and kill them all! ”

"The last general commands!"

Li Changhe and Gao Wannian, who came over, promised and left in a hurry.

The minister cried and said, "My lord, this ship can't be bombarded, it's full of gold ......."

"Get out!"

Jiang Ning scolded impatiently.

"Yes, yes."

The minister replied resignedly, and walked out of the room in despair.

Jiang Ning looked at Diana again, and said in a trembling voice: "Diana, you can go out too, I'll just watch here." ”

"Okay."

With tears in her beautiful eyes, Diana answered obediently and stepped back lightly.

After the door was closed, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay Yao'er, everyone is gone, get up." ”

When the words fell, He Yuyao, who was still dying just now, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, straightened up and threw herself into his arms.

"Master, can the concubine still act in place? Pretty similar, right? It's just that the blood of these sheep smells so bad, and it's bloody to death."

A smile instantly bloomed on He Yuyao's pretty face, and she said coquettishly.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and said: "What is it, just close your eyes and remain motionless, if it weren't for me and Diana, no one would dare to come forward and take a closer look, sooner or later I would show my feet." ”

He Yuyao pursed her lips and said, "But I didn't tell Diana, she was like that, obviously she really believed it." ”

Jiang Ning smiled dumbly and said in surprise: "She doesn't know? I also said how I pretended to cry so sadly. ”

"That doesn't mean that the concubine is powerful."

He Yuyao's eyebrows were crooked, sweetly hooked Jiang Ning's neck, and snuggled tightly into his arms.

Jiang Ning hugged her slender waist and adjusted her posture so that both of them could sit more comfortably.

After quietly warming up for a while, he added:

"Tomorrow morning, you will go back to Fuzhou on the grounds of recuperation, and let the inner factory find a way to give away all the treasures that can be sold.

The gold and silver were then distributed to the soldiers as rewards and pensions, and they were also put into the operation of the maritime yamen.

If you have any more, you will hand over some of it to the imperial court, and the rest will be used to open a naval academy. ”

For the last content, Jiang Ning has been thinking about it since the beginning of the opening of the sea.

He Yuyao raised her snow-white slender swan neck, looked up at his face, and said coquettishly:

"The lord has really decided? But wouldn't that be too radical?

Now the coastal provinces are full of guards and sailors who have incense with the lord, as well as the thousand-man team who is brave and good at fighting.

Coupled with the Tianxiong army in the capital and the border army in the northern frontier, this force is really too big.

Now, if you just go to the book to open a military school like this, not only will the courtiers not agree, but it may even arouse Your Majesty's suspicion.

Sir, shall we take our time? ”

Jiang Ning said with a firm expression:

"Yao'er, there are some things that you can't stop doing because the risk is too great.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is open to the sea, it seems that everything is going well.

But after a long time, it will be found that if the sailors and generals do not go through systematic study, they will suffer a great loss when they go to sea.

The West is already one step ahead of us in this regard, and if we cannot catch up, we will only get further and further away. ”

After a pause, Jiang Ning stared at He Yuyao's beautiful eyes, caressed her pretty face and said:

"Actually, I know that this book is probably useless.

But in any case, it can at least serve as a preemptive test.

Also, Liu Jin will definitely not be able to hold back......"

He Yuyao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said coquettishly: "It turns out that the master is a drunkard and doesn't mean to drink, so the concubine is relieved." ”

"Who said that?"

Jiang Ning patted the beauty's buttocks and said, "If you can succeed, it will naturally be the best." ”

He Yuyao brought the tempting pink lips to Jiang Ning's mouth, exhaled like a land, and said, "No matter what, Yao'er will definitely follow the master." ”

"Hmm......"

Capital.

The celebrant is on duty in the room.

Liu Jin wrinkled his old face, happily held the teacup and said:

"Yesterday, Jiang Ning wrote a letter, saying that he was going to open a military academy of the Ming Water Division, and the outer court quarreled. Your Majesty, there will be a court meeting tomorrow.

Hehe, this Jiang Ning is also bold, and his current authority is not enough, and his appetite is so big that he wants to pull all the generals under his command.

Oh, it's okay now, not only those courtiers who didn't deal with Jiang Ning were opposed, but also those noble generals didn't approve either, and even Jiao Fang and Li Dongyang were silent.

What a delight! ”

At this time, a scholar in his thirties got up and said: "Father-in-law, my subordinates thought that in this court meeting, the courtiers attacked Jiang Ningqun, but my father-in-law could not get involved together, but wanted to keep it." ”

This is Zhang Wenmian of Liu Jin's staff.

Although he is a talented man, he has a lot of schemes in his stomach.

It is precisely because of him that Liu Jin, who is illiterate in big words, can repeatedly put forward political strategies and constantly expand his power in the inner and outer courts.

It can be said that he is the first think tank under his command, and he is deeply respected.

And the previous plan to divert the tiger from the mountain was planned in detail by this person himself.

Liu Jin sighed, put down the teacup and said, "What ideas do you have again?" ”

Zhang Wenmian arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, since Jiangning Dynasty Tianxun hunting, he has swept away the pirates and pirates, and now he has defeated the Francois and recaptured Manraka.

If any of these things are put on others, it will be a great credit, but he has made it up alone.

It can be regarded as a success.

But now His Majesty has not reacted to this at all, not only has he not been promoted to a knighthood, but he has not even received a decent reward, isn't it strange? ”

"What do you mean......"

Liu Jin narrowed his eyes.

"If what your subordinates expect is good, Your Majesty must be trying to protect Jiang Ning in the court meeting.

After all, he is not rewarded, and the wartime governor will also step down, let alone get involved in this so-called military academy, but he has made countless meritorious contributions and is loyal to the monarch and the country.

Such a person, if Your Majesty wants to protect it, it will not be enough to say a word, and he can even rebel against the courtiers. ”

"Yes, yes, you have a point."

Liu Jin nodded and said:

"As the first person in His Majesty's favorite inner court, our family naturally has to follow His Majesty's footsteps closely, and it will never work to go against the grain.

In your opinion, what should we do? ”

Zhang Wenmian rolled his eyes and said, "Father-in-law, now the outer court is divided into four factions, in addition to the father-in-law's lineage, there are also the Jiangning faction, the neutral faction and the patriarchal faction.

From the point of view of the disciples, it is better for us to attack the patriarch faction first and eliminate the last bit of power. ”

The so-called patriarchal faction is a group of old ministers left by Hongzhi.

Since there is only one Chen Jin left in the six Shangshu, the old minister has only looked forward to him and kept warm.

If Liu Jin wants to continue to develop his power in the outer court, he is a big stumbling block.

"I'm afraid it's easy to move him.

Since Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng also left their posts, this guy has not made any big moves, he works seriously day and night, and he can't grasp the handle. ”

Liu Jin said with a frown.

Zhang Wenmian smiled:

"Father-in-law, recently Your Majesty has not made a will, and after a while, he will accept Meng Wanning into the palace as a concubine, and he has also set a good set of wedding procedures, and he will not lose to the queen at all.

But this white silver, the household refuses to take it, and it must be taken out from the inside.

Tomorrow, my father-in-law will take out the note of Chen Jin's party impeaching Jiang Ning and present it to His Majesty, and then tell about it in a mixed manner.

Your Majesty loves that Meng Guifei very much, and if she hears that the household department does not give face like this, she will inevitably be furious.

At that time, the father-in-law added fuel to the fire again, and Chen Jin would shed his skin if he didn't die. ”
