Chapter 108: Bright Sword
The carriage is slowly moving forward.
Brother Rong hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Grandma, do you think Mr. Dong came to the palace overnight, or did he write the memorial overnight?"
When they left, Mr. Dong sent it out in person. , feeling that he was particularly moved by his grandmother’s proposal.
“…”
Shen Ning didn’t speak for a while.
She hoped to enter the palace overnight.
Many things need to be done impulsively.
But the Emperor is still here.
Even if Mr. Dong enters the palace overnight, the emperor must have a lot to consider.
He first needed the support of the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor... had long since lost his determination to make progress.
Shen Ning sighed quietly, "This is not something we can consider."
In this era, there is actually very little she can do.
But no matter how little..., she still wants to do something.
"Let the people below check what missionaries there are in the capital tomorrow!"
The missionaries who can travel across the oceans all have some skills.
"You said grandma invited them to come to the clan school to talk to you about the outside world?"
"Okay!"
Brother Rong nodded vigorously, "Although They look a little strange, but that doesn’t stop us from being curious about them.”
“…”
Shen Ning frowned, "Someday when you go to their country, people may say you look strange."
"They are too far away from us, I don't want to go."
Brother Rong shook his head, and did not think of such a country, "It is the Japanese country. My grandson wants to see it when he grows up."
He wants to occupy an island, like his ancestors, for The Jia family earns a powerful title.
"..."
Shen Ning patted her grandson's hand, "When you grow up and can go to Japan, help grandma do one more thing."
"You said."
"Every island you see..., set up a monument and write down its name."
"...Okay!"
Although I don’t know why my grandmother did this, it’s not a big deal. Brother Rong only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Grandma, do you think that after the monument is erected, it will be considered ours?”
"You can say that."
"What if it is an island that cannot be inhabited?"
"If it cannot be inhabited, does it mean that there is nothing in the sea?"
Shen Ning smiled, "And a small island that cannot be inhabited does not mean it is barren. There may be a lot of minerals on it. It's just that people who go to sea don't know each other, so they have been missed."
This?
It’s also very possible.
Jia Rong suddenly discovered that his grandmother was more powerful than his grandfather, and she was thinking about things... long-term, long-term.
“In Journey to the West, there is the Dragon King of the Four Seas. Brother Rong, do you think those Four Seas belong to our Dazhao?”
“…Forget it!”
Jia Rong only hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Although the early and late Ming Dynasties were plagued by wars, no country on the sea dared to fight them.
Dazhao inherited the former Ming Dynasty, and the maritime territory of the former Ming Dynasty was naturally theirs.
"Then it's over."
Shen Ning leaned on the soft chair, "When you grow up, draw all the four seas that belong to us into the maritime map of Dazhao. Mark every island in it.”
This is better than any title.
“If you can’t go to sea when you grow up, then ask someone to do it well.”
“Grandma, I will grow up soon.”
Brother Rong has grown up so big, and he hasn’t even left Beijing yet.
Now he is afraid that when he grows up, the Jia family still has to avoid suspicion and cannot join the army or go to the Japanese country to occupy the island.
“Really?”
Shen Ning smiled, "Then grandma will wait."
Children all hope that they can grow up quickly.
But when you grow up..., you will understand how good it is to be a child.
"Let Jiao Da teach you Fu Shui later."
Speaking of which, Jiao Da is really an all-rounder.
Shen Ning thought for a while, "Forget it, he is old. There should be several people in the palace who can teach Fu Shui. You should learn from them." At this point, she did not Don't worry, "On weekdays, not only you should pay more attention to Jiao Da's body, but also let everyone pay attention."
"My grandson knows."
Jia Rong nodded vigorously , "Every time shopkeeper Chen asks you for Ping'an pulse, he will also show it to him."
Both he and his father paid close attention to it.
“He just doesn’t like seeing doctors very much and has to fight every time.”
"Young and old, old and young, shopkeeper Chen comes to ask for a pulse in the future. You should coax him and don't choke with him."
Shen Ning said: "This time the Li family colluded with the Japanese pirates. How dare your father step forward and do it?" , all because the guards trained by Jiao Da are comparable to elite soldiers. "My grandson knows." Jia Zheng was silent all the way.
Sister-in-law’s mouth can really turn black into white.
Obviously they were afraid that the Japanese pirates would take advantage of someone else to retaliate against their family, but the result was that Mr. Dong was stunned for a moment.
But...
Jia Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he thought that his sister-in-law actually wanted to treat others the same way as others.
Dazhao is a land of etiquette, how can we do what the Japanese pirates did?
The people did not offend Zhao.
Sister-in-law is like this...
Jia Zheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
He didn’t dare to quarrel with his sister-in-law in public.
And judging from what Mr. Dong means, he also supports the sister-in-law’s point of view.
This way...
Jia Zheng sighed, he is not good at military matters!
However, he can't, but my uncle can.
Maybe he should go find his uncle and talk to him about today's events.
Although Jia Zheng was not satisfied with his elder brother-in-law during the last horse scare case, he also knew that his second wife's greatest help outside was still his elder uncle.
He has to get better, he has to regain control of the capital.
Or... he could invite Xinpinghou to his home and talk to him about the Japanese pirates.
This time my sister was attacked, my eldest brother, Lian'er and Zhen'er from Dongfu all went there. As the future son-in-law of the Jia family, Xinpinghou should come to the house to ask what happened.
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng was satisfied, closed his eyes, and swayed back home.
However, this night is destined to be an unstable night.
After a busy night, the emperor was about to rest in Kunning Palace. When he heard that his Shuntian Prefecture Yin entered the palace overnight, he thought that there was some shocking case or something big, so he quickly took off his boots again. Put it on and hurried forward.
When he heard that Lin Ruhai's family was attacked, he couldn't help but slap the table.
Seeing that he was about to start a rant, Mr. Dong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Mr. Lin's family members are fine. Because they have not returned to Beijing for many years, everyone in the Jia family is very concerned about this trip to Beijing to visit relatives. , Jia She and Jia Zhen went to greet them with their relatives. Just on the way, they found the group of Japanese pirates besieging them and killed them on the spot."
The Emperor: "..."
< br>Real or fake?
Lin Ruhai did very well in Jiangnan. When his family members came to Beijing, he had to protect them.
What's more, Jia Lian is also among them.
The emperor pointed him to understand the salt field.
"Since it's okay, why did you stay up in the middle of the night and come into the palace to harass me?"
Doesn't this man named Dong know that he is still young?
Don’t you know he has a queen and a concubine?
Don’t you know that having children is also an important factor in stabilizing his throne?
"Your Majesty, how can you say that to me?"
Dong Xiaoquan looked speechless, "I enter the palace..." He paused and looked around.
The emperor waved his hand silently and asked everyone in the palace to go down. Soon, Eunuch Liu and others retreated, and even the palace door was closed by them.
"Your Majesty, I received a post from Mrs. Shen of Ningguo Mansion today." Dong Xiaoquan said: "She provided me with a plan to control Japanese pirates."
Oh?
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."
Jia Jing is very talented.
It’s just that the Jia family didn’t let him join the army.
But when Jia Jing, who is not a soldier, goes to the capital camp, most of the generals inside will bow to him first.
But Jia Jing, like this, has only guarded Mrs. Shen for so many years. Even when she confiscated all his private money, he did not dare to say anything.
The emperor believed that Mrs. Shen was also very talented, so he was very interested at this time.
Just this time..., he himself participated.
Eunuch Liu and others were all dozed off while waiting outside, and the palace door was not opened.
The emperor and Dong Xiaoquan even took out the map.
The major case of collusion between the Li family and Japanese pirates, they all wanted to make the best use of it and suppress several major salt merchant families to add some money to the national treasury.
The Supreme Emperor obviously had this idea, but the old man still wanted him to rush ahead.
The emperor is willing to do it and wants to do it.
As long as the money is used for the right purpose and is not used by King Jin or any of his brothers for private work, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little fatigue or hardship.
But now...
It seems good if we can defeat a few people, help a few obedient generals to atone for their sins, and use the money in hand to recruit troops from the Japanese country.
The emperor was not afraid that those people would never return to Jozhao.
Falled leaves must return to their roots.
What's more, as long as they can make achievements, he will not hesitate to reward them, so that they can glorify their ancestors and make their wives and children.
"The copper from the Japanese country is a good thing."
The emperor took a sip of the tea that had gone cold and said, "I only imported one million jins from there this year."
Dazhao also has copper. However, where there is copper, although mining is easy, transportation is difficult.
It is better to buy it from Japan.
The quality of the copper over there is better, and there is even more exquisite copper.
“I hate that their Tokugawa shogunate relied on those coppers and made higher and higher demands on me, Dazhao, every year.”
From porcelain, silk, tea to ironware..., I want more and more.
"This plan... is very good, very good."
The emperor turned around in the palace, suddenly saw the hourglass, and said in his heart: "In this way, now you Just rest in the room! After the morning court tomorrow, come with me to see the Supreme Emperor."
My father is old, so I can't disturb him at this time.
The emperor kept his thoughts in mind, of course he was afraid that he would be impulsive and not think everything through.
"Mrs. Shen..., since she doesn't want to be famous, let Aiqing take the responsibility first."
To repay the other person with his own way, I'm afraid there will be another Impeached and criticized by some sanctimonious people.
The emperor looked at Dong Xiaoquan, "If there is an impeachment without opening one's eyes..."
"Your Majesty, the Li family colluded with the Japanese pirates, but in the south of the Yangtze River, they destroyed three of our salt fields." Dong Xiaoquan He blew his beard and said, "This time the Jia family will transport the corpses of the Japanese pirates to Beijing. You will let them see them for three days. If they still don't open their eyes and talk about benevolence and justice and care for other people's people, you will find another one." From the beginning, let them go to the south of the Yangtze River to taste the power of the Japanese pirates."
If there are no Japanese pirates, they can also find some people to pretend to be.
Nowadays, businessmen and officials in Jiangnan are very good at change.
Dong Xiaoquan was the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and he also held a position in the Ministry of Punishment. He knew very well how bad Jiangnan was.
If we don't care anymore, it will be like the previous Ming Dynasty, and Japanese pirates will run rampant.
“I——I’m sure.”
The emperor looked at Old Man Dong and couldn't help but smile.
......
On the second day, at the bustling city gate, people who were queuing up to enter the city saw a long queue coming from behind.
The smell of blood... made the city gate official couldn't help but run over, "Who is coming?"
"Hand in the case!"
Tianjin came with him The Dianshi quickly rode forward, waved his sign, and said, "Get out of the way quickly."
Before he finished speaking, four carriages pulling the corpses drove over first.
Everyone was stunned.
This and this...
The smell of blood is so strong that it makes it hard to breathe.
When a scholar saw the glaring third master's head with his sharp eyes open, his heart trembled, his steps softened, and he almost fell down on the spot.
“Please come this way!”
The city gate official was startled and asked them to leave first.
The people gave way honestly.
"Manager Lin!"
Na Dianshi did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Zhixiao, who was also riding a horse and came over seriously, "Look, are you going to follow me?" Let’s go to Shuntian Mansion together?”
“Of course!”
That’s what the manager does.
Lin Zhixiao nodded.
“Cough~”
Dianshi coughed again, "With such a shocking case, Mr. Dong must have many problems. The heroes who participated in killing these Japanese pirates..."
"Let's go, brothers!"
Huo Qihe The other four palace guards also rode forward, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
"So..., please!"
After Dianshi handed over his hand, he did An act of invitation.
His polite look made the people around him couldn't help but stretch their heads to take a closer look at the motorcade behind him.
Ah ah ah, a lot of people have blood on them.
Everyone couldn't help but guess whose carriage the carriage guarded by these people belonged to.
“Look, there’s the Jia family’s logo on that carriage.”
“I remembered, isn’t that Manager Lin the manager of the Rongguo Mansion?”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Oh my god, how could the Jia family get involved with the Japanese pirates? Did we hear it wrong?"
"Did you mention the Japanese pirates? I Why didn’t you hear it?”
People who were far away did not hear it.
“I didn’t hear it either.”
People who were so shocked that they forgot to listen were among them.
"Let's go to Shuntian Mansion. I'm sure we will know there."
Many people who left the city stopped going out of the city and chose to go to Shuntian Mansion to watch the excitement.
How many dead people are there in the carriage?
And the mule cart with a tight seal in the middle...
This is a big deal!
The timid ones were afraid that something might happen somewhere and would affect them, so they all followed the carriage pulling the corpse.
Everyone I saw along the way was shocked.
The corpses piled up on the carriage were frightening to death.
The team soon separated, one going to Shuntian Mansion and the other to Ningrong Street.
At this time, everyone who noticed this couldn't help but look more in the direction of Ningrong Street.
The Jia family...this is another big thing!
No one knew that it was Jia Min’s idea to leave the body uncovered on the bare carriage floor.
Ever since she knew that the Li family dared to assassinate the Jia family, she felt that the Jia family needed a major event to shock the world.
These Japanese pirates are the swords that the Jia family shows to the world.
No matter who it is, after seeing the death of those Japanese pirates, they will think about whether they should risk their lives against the Jia family again.
Please give me a ticket. I don’t have a monthly ticket. It’s good to give a recommendation ticket! ! !
