At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 351

In a private house by the river, Zhu Qizhen is leading a group of people, leisurely...grilling fish.

"Your Majesty, come and taste it!"

This is a sturgeon, which swims very fast in the river and is difficult to catch. Therefore, the price is surprisingly expensive.

Of course, in front of the emperor, a fish made of gold is nothing.

Zhu Qizhen took it over and smelled it, showing a satisfied smile.

"Good workmanship!"

Mei Yongzhen grinned widely, and chuckled, who would have thought that the dignified Commander of the Xiaoling Guard would have the unique skill of grilling fish.

Zhu Qizhen took a bite, only to feel the fragrance overflowing, but it was a little hot.

"Wow, woo..."

He swallowed the fish quickly, and then said: "I just said, let you find a reliable person to be an undercover agent, and you go there yourself. These days, I have wronged you!"

Mei Yongzhen hastily saluted and said: "The emperor's business is a matter of great importance, no matter how reliable a person is, he is not as reliable as the minister himself!"

In order to find out the details of these Jurchens, he threw Xiaolingwei to the commander, and went to work as an undercover agent for half a year.

In fact, being an undercover agent is not an easy task, because... she is so excellent.

In the past six months, Mei Yongzhen has really worked hard enough to cover up her own edge and gain the other party's trust.

Fortunately, he finally got his wish and became Li San's deputy, participating in all kinds of affairs in Wangjiazhai on weekdays.

Even for Li San's plan to hijack the emperor, Mei Yongzhen was helping to come up with ideas throughout the whole process.

In this way, Zhu Qizhen can safely be "hijacked" by Li San, and then wait to watch the show.

He has been fishing for this group of fish for a long time, this time, he must catch them all in one catch, not even a single fry left behind!

For some reason, I feel bored from the bottom of my heart when dealing with Jurchens.

He was not a bloodthirsty person in the first place, whether it was externally, the old and weak women and children of the Mongols, or internally, the wives and children of criminal officials, as long as they could survive, they usually would not kill them all.

However, when dealing with the Jurchens, she didn't feel this way at all.

I didn't even bother to explain to them, anyway... as long as I can kill them all, try not to leave any survivors.

In the dark of night, eating the fragrant grilled fish and looking at the flames in front of us, it is quite unique.

Finally, the sound of explosions gradually became sparse, and it seemed that the battle was drawing to a close.

Zhu Qizhen threw the leftover fish bones into the fire, rubbed his hands together, and said, "It's almost over, shouldn't it be over?"

Mei Yongzhen hurriedly persuaded: "I think that the emperor doesn't need to be in a hurry, everything will be clear tomorrow morning."

In the middle of the night, if a fish slipped through the net and hurt you, wouldn't my monstrous achievements be in vain...

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, then sat down again, and Mei Yongzhen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mei Qing's family, I remember you are over 50 years old this year, right?"

Mei Yongzhen's heart trembled, and she replied: "Thanks to the emperor's concern, I am 55 years old, and my body is still in good health."

"Oh, how many sons do you have?"

"Back to the emperor, I have five daughters, but only one son, Mei Chun, who just turned 20 this year."

"20 years old is not too young, what do you do now?"

"read!"

Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed, the Commander of Xiaoling Guard was hereditary, it seemed that this Mei Chun was quite motivated, born in such a family, she was still studying when she didn't go to the street to gamble and walk the birds.

"Are you going to take the No. [-] exam?"

Mei Yongzhen grinned and said, "Your Majesty is joking, my son is not a candidate for the number one examination, he just reads some miscellaneous books on weekdays."

"Oh? What miscellaneous books?"

Hearing the word miscellaneous books, Zhu Qizhen immediately became interested.

Miscellaneous books are good, preferably astronomy, geography, biochemistry, Ming Dynasty lacks such talents!
Mei Yongzhen scratched her head, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, roughly what it is... what... Oh, by the way, it seems to be Lu Ban, Mozi, the organ, once, he made it himself. I got big wings, and said that I want to learn how to fly to the sky like a bird, so I won’t be afraid of the emperor’s jokes. I’m a good old man, and I spoil him all the time, but I’m spoiled by him.”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned suddenly, I, Daming, still have such a talent?

God, the plane!
"After you go back, let him come to see me!"

"what?"

Mei Yongzhen didn't realize it for a while, she just made the wings of a big bird, did she commit some taboo?
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart, what did you just say?

Does it mean... to go to heaven?

Who can go to heaven?

Besides birds, only dragons can fly in the sky.

The emperor is the real dragon emperor, you, a commoner, dare to go to heaven?

His face suddenly turned pale, he was broken, and a big deal was about to happen!

Zhu Qizhen thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated: "I still have to wait for the first trial of the main criminal, and I will stay in Nanjing for a few days. You let him come to see me in Nanjing."

"Your Majesty...have mercy!"

Mei Yongzhen knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing like garlic.

Now, on the contrary, Zhu Qizhen can't be rectified.

what's the situation?
After finally finding such a talent, I will definitely bring it back to the Academy of Sciences to focus on training. Are you reluctant to part with your son and insist that he inherit his father's career?

Although the Xiaoling Guard is rather special, Daming has no shortage of military generals. In the end, he is just a commander of the guards. How much future can he have?
When you come to the Academy of Sciences, if you can produce results, it will be different.

If you can really get the engine out of the plane, tsk tsk...

Zhu Qizhen's thoughts were flying all over the sky, and he was already imagining the scene of carrying the J-20 on an aircraft carrier, but Mei Yongzhen thought that he had said something wrong, and was covered in cold sweat.

"I have no way to teach my son, go back and discipline me strictly, I beg the emperor to show mercy..."

Zhu Qizhen asked with a puzzled face: "It seems that the Qing family is reluctant?"

Mei Yongzhen raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and said: "This old minister has only one son, please the emperor to see that this old minister has worked hard all these years..."

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and asked: "Your son is very thoughtful, I just want to talk to him, did the Qing family... misunderstand something?"

Mei Yongzhen was puzzled and said: "The dog who made the wings of a big bird is disrespectful to the heavens and the emperor. I will be strict when I go back!"

"Ha ha……"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen understand, and laughed loudly: "The Qing family misunderstood, I have never respected any ghosts and gods, and I want to go to heaven and earth, if there are really gods in the sky, I will catch some of them and let them Show me a trick!"

Mei Yongzhen had a question mark on her face, is the emperor so careless now?

Don't even pay attention to the gods?

"Dog, dog..."

"Your son is very thoughtful. Birds can fly, why can't we humans? If we can create wings like birds, maybe we can really fly into the sky?"

Mei Yongzhen scratched her head again, and wondered in her heart, could it be that the emperor has been stimulated by something and has gone hysterical?

Has anyone ever seen a living being fly in the sky?
Even if you are the emperor, you can't fly...

Zhu Qizhen didn't explain too much. For people in this era, if you tell them that people can really fly in the sky and even fly to the moon, they won't believe it.

It is just a myth and legend to hold the moon in the nine heavens.

Who would have thought that after 500 years, these unthinkable ideas would all come true one by one.

All of this depends on the development of technology.

If you want to develop technology, the most critical thing is talent!

Therefore, as long as talents with talents in this area are found, they will be placed in the Academy of Sciences for relevant research like a baby.

"Does the Qing family think that I am dreaming?"

Mei Yongzhen hurriedly laughed along with her, and said: "The emperor is the son of the real dragon, and the heavens caught a god...of course it's nothing..."

Zhu Qizhen shook his head lightly, and said: "The Qing family took a look at the world, what kind of changes have taken place in just a few years? Who would have thought that there is a kind of animal in the world that does not need to be drawn by humans and animals, and can run away as long as it burns coal? the train?"

After Mei Yongzhen heard this, she fell into deep thought. That's right, who would have thought of a car that can run on coal?

Could it be... people can really fly?

"Don't worry, the Qing family, if you hand over your son to me, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Mei Yongzhen pondered for a moment, then bowed and said: "The old minister obeys the order!"

The sound of the battle ahead had been completely extinguished, and after a while, the sound of horseshoes came.

Chen Weisong dismounted from his horse, kowtowed and saluted, "Report to the Emperor, Wangjiazhai wiped out 130 and five rebels, and none of them slipped through the net!"

After Mei Yongzhen heard this, she was secretly amazed, those rebels naturally had no chance of winning against the regular army, but why did they kill them all?
At least keep a few alive, because these rebels still have strongholds in Ningbo, Liaodong and other places. If they are all killed, who will they ask for a confession?
Zhu Qizhen was very disapproving, and said lightly: "The Qing family has worked hard, go back and give some rewards to the soldiers, and reward the big guys."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Weisong was very excited, this kind of credit was almost the same as picking it up for nothing, every time the emperor came to Nanjing, he had gained something, this feeling... so good!
Zhu Qizhen said again: "I have never been stingy with rewards. The two Qing families have made great contributions this time. Go back and wait to receive the rewards!"

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.

After dealing with all this, Zhu Qizhen returned to the Nanjing Palace. It was already late at night, and he was very happy to be able to sleep.

"Wynn..."

Shouted, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

No, where did Wynn go?

Fan Zhong was standing outside the door. When he heard the shout, he turned and came in, and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that that night, Eunuch Huai'en was worried about the safety of the Emperor, so he took people to the mountain to search, and he has not returned until now."

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh a little, because when making this plan, in order to keep it secret, only a few people knew about it, so they didn't tell Wynn.

Because the power of Dongchang is not as good as before, now it is mainly in charge of the palace, Huangzhuang and some relatives of the emperor internally, and Jinyiwei is basically in charge of external affairs.

It is conceivable that when Wynn learned that he was kidnapped, he didn't know what he was like...

"Notify Xiaolingwei early tomorrow morning and ask them to go up the mountain to look for it. Wynn is unfamiliar with the place, so he probably lost his way."

"Yes!"

After Zhu Qizhen gave his orders, he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes the next day, it was already daylight.

Since the withdrawal of Nanjing Six Departments, the Nanjing Palace has become much deserted.

On weekdays, there were only a small number of eunuchs and maids staying here, most of the time they were idle and flustered, and today they finally came to work, throwing all of them over, serving the emperor to dress, wash his face, and eat, he was extremely busy.

Before Zhu Qizhen had finished his breakfast, he got the news that Shi Heng had arrived in Nanjing with the leader of the bandit, Wanyan Gunaha, and was begging to see him outside the palace.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Shi Heng is such a guy, his efficiency is so fast, he just uprooted Wang's village here, and he has already sent people over there.

"Xuan!"

Not long after, Shi Heng stepped in, kowtowed and saluted: "Minister Shi Heng greets the saint!"

"I'm safe!"

Zhu Qizhen waved at him and said: "The Qing family must be hungry after traveling all night, sit down and eat together!"

Shi Heng quickly waved his hands and said, "I dare not sit with the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "I don't have so many rules here, sit down!"

Shi Heng hesitated for a moment, as long as he sat down on a stool far away, his buttocks did not dare to sit firmly, and only touched the side.

"That perfect face..."

Teng!
Just as Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth, Shi Heng jumped up from the stool like a spring.

"Sit down!"

Shi Heng smiled awkwardly, and sat down carefully again.

"Eat, chat while eating!"

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

Shi Heng picked up a steamed bun, took a small bite, and chewed slowly.

"I heard that Wanyan Gunaha has some background?"

"Returning to the emperor, this person is the son of Li Manzhu, the former commander of the Jianzhou Guard. At that time, the army went out to fight, and this person happened to go to North Korea, so he slipped through the net."

"I see!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "How is the battle in Ningbo?"

Holding up the steamed buns, Shi Heng said, "A total of 370 rebels were wiped out, and three merchant ships were also seized. If all kinds of goods are converted into silver, the value is about 800 million taels."

Zhu Qizhen chuckled and said: "These rebels have managed to make such a big business, I really underestimated them!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that this person had business dealings with North Korea and Wa when he built the state, but it was all smuggling. Before I set off from Wa, I had already issued a warning to their daimyo. As for North Korea, Shouldn't there be an order to warn me?"

"Of course we have to warn, not only to warn, but also to make an apology. Without 100 million taels, they will not be able to show their sincerity. If I get angry, I will regard them as the accomplices of the rebels and wipe them out!"

Shi Heng had no choice but to agree, but he thought in his heart, you may have disliked North Korea a long time ago, right?
Nowadays, most of the Nanyang countries have been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wa Kingdom has always been controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Only the vassal states such as Korea and Ryukyu are still obedient on weekdays, and they have not troubled them.

However, this time, something happened to North Korea.

Either bleed a little, or lose your life, it's up to you!

"Your Majesty, I don't understand something."

"speak!"

"Since there are no survivors, why do you want to let Wanyan Gunaha go?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said, "When did I say that I would let him go?"
