Chapter 61 Interests
In a small room in the Huiji Pavilion, the mother in the brothel is sick with blood mold today. Her qi was chaotic at the moment, and her whole body was in pain like pins and needles. I didn't even have the strength to shout. Two robbers, a man and a woman, caught themselves in the middle.
The two men sat on either side of each other, as if they were holding their two hills. And this mother is enduring the severe pain on the one hand, and at the same time waiting for the other two big devils to come back.
I also deserved to be unlucky, and I only hoped to stabilize these two robbers, so I tricked them into coming here. But he didn't expect that it was this terrible idea that caused him to be put under house arrest by these two, and no one could save him.
The wild girls under him are lazy to eat and do things on weekdays, and now they haven't seen their mother come out for most of the day. None of them worried about whether something had happened to their mother, all of them were like birds out of the cage, and they would be lawless without control.
This kind of waiting is to wait from the hazy sky to the cold night like water, and finally there is a sound of ping-pong bells from outside. can make such a big move at night, it must be that Ji Changan, the overlord, is back.
Fang Zhongjin said to Jiang Dai: "I'll go out and have a look." So he left her to take care of her mother and went out by herself.
After a while, he finally invited the two bodhisattvas into the hut. Don't look at this room, but it's where my mother rests on weekdays. Bystanders are not allowed to enter and exit at will. The surrounding wall tiles are the thickest, which is quite secluded. What big things they want to discuss, it is better than the guest room where Ji Changan and they lived.
As soon as Fang Zhongjin entered the house, he pressed his mother's heart. The mother's eyes were dark, and she went retrograde with a breath of true qi, and immediately fainted.
Fang Zhongjin learned this trick from Jiang Dai for the first time, and he has already made it handy. After he had set the mother down, he looked back at the three people in the room, as if waiting for him to speak.
Fang Zhongjin smiled at everyone and said, "It's finally converged again." What happened to our Western warship?"
Ji Changan glanced at him angrily and said, "What are you two doing in the Heavenly Palace?
Not long after you left, the whole city began to search for the culprit. I watched a group of officers and soldiers rush into the inn where I used to live, and I knew that it must have been a basket that you poked out.
By the time Ah He and I arrived at the docks, all the ships had already been seized by the King of the Ryukyus. Fortunately, the soldiers only arrested young and beautiful women, and Ah He and I hid here for a few days. You're hiding so hidden, we've been looking around during the day for the past few days, but we haven't found even a clue!"
Fang Zhongjin had to tell the two of them what happened after he and Jiang Dai left. After saying this, it made Ji Changan and Zheng He fall into deep thought.
It was Jiang Dai who hurriedly asked, "You said that if you find the two of them, you can help me get rid of the Ryukyu King." Now that we've found it, what are we going to do?"
These words made Ji Changan and Zheng He stunned for a moment. Although the two of them are literate and martial, they have a lot of face in front of Zhu Di. But out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they have nothing to convince except for some money.
If you want to assassinate the king of the Ryukyus, that night is the best time. Now, even if one Ji Changan is added, whether he can rush into the Ryukyu Palace, which has strengthened his vigilance, and accurately stab the Ryukyu King to death is no longer a sure thing.
Fang Zhongjin Ruo really wanted to assassinate the Ryukyu King. Obstructing Jiang Dai's actions that night, but now asking Ji and Zheng to help, that is really a superfluous move.
Sure enough, Fang Zhongjin shook his head and said, "I am looking for the two of them, not to assassinate the King of the Ryukyus. Rather, it was to ensure that the people of Ryukyu would not be liquidated by Fuso afterwards.
When these words came out, Jiang Dai's face was still at a loss. Ji Changan and Zheng He's hearts have been clear.
Fang Zhongjin said to Jiang Dai: "My two friends, one is the official eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the Jinyi Wei Qianhu. They are all red men in front of the emperor. ”
Jiang Dai squinted her eyes and looked at the two of them carefully, although she had already guessed that Zheng He was a father-in-law, and Ji Changan might also be from the official mansion. But he couldn't guess that he would meet two right-hand men of the Ming Emperor.
She asked Fang Zhongjin again: "Then what kind of official are you?"
Fang Zhongjin smiled and said: "I'm just an idle cloud and a wild crane, and I don't have an official position. ”
Jiang Dai generously promised: "That's better, when I become the queen of the Ryukyus, I will definitely make you a side official!"
The side official is a very high official rank in the Ryukyus, which can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand.
Ji Changan listened but didn't buy it, and bluntly interrupted Jiang Dai's words: "He is a Han Chinese, no matter what kind of official position he wants to do in Daming, I can also help with it." You don't have to bother with it, Queen. ”
Jiang Dai didn't take this kind of collision to heart, and asked Fang Zhongjin again: "I already know that your friends are all celebrities in front of the Ming Emperor, so how can you ensure the safety of the people after that?"
Fang Zhongjin said in a deep voice: "If you want Fusang not to take advantage of the fire to rob and occupy the territory of the Ryukyus. He had to have scruples. If these two friends of mine can rush back to the Ming Dynasty in time, before Fusang gathers troops and goes to the sea, they will bring back the Ming Emperor's decree: to declare that they will station troops in Ryukyu to protect the security of their subjects. The safety of the people of the Ryukyus was also guaranteed. ”
When Jiang Dai heard this, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. In the hearts of the Han people, what they hated most since ancient times was the loss of sovereignty and the occupation of great mountains and rivers by foreigners.
However, a small maritime country like the Ryukyus has always had to rely on the protection of a large country in exchange for decades of peace. Between being occupied by Fusang and letting the Ming garrison, Jiang Dai was naturally more inclined to let his father send troops to protect his people.
Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, but bowed deeply to Zheng He and Ji Changan, and said: "On behalf of the people of the Ryukyus, the courtiers would like to ask the Great Tomorrow to send troops to protect them. to avoid the covetousness of Fuso. ”
Ji Changan and Zheng He hurriedly turned away, not daring to accept this worship.
In fact, Zheng He had already thought clearly in his heart. The emperor intends to let himself go to sea, one of the purposes is to make the prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread all over the world. It didn't cost much to send troops to the Ryukyus, but what was gained was the heartfelt submission of the Ryukyus and other vassal states.
At the same time, if it can garrison troops in the Ryukyus, it will also be a sharp arrow pierced in the chest of Fuso, which is ready to move all day long. He is dedicated to planning for the emperor, and the emperor has always trusted him. The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again. This time, Zheng He decided to do it instead of the emperor.
Zheng He thought of this, so he got up and bowed deeply to Jiang Dai, and said respectfully: "On behalf of the great emperor, the minister agreed to the queen's request. I wish the Queen an early ascension to the throne!"
Fang Zhongjin saw that the two of them had already agreed, so he said, "Let's do something together, and Fusang will definitely get the news immediately." The closer they are, the quicker they need to send troops. Brother Zheng, Brother Ji, please set off immediately and hurry back to the capital. As long as the emperor issued a decree first, announcing that he would garrison Ryukyu. That Fusang didn't dare to make more mistakes. ”
