My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 124 Bully
Doing bad things in the dark always gives people a sense of excitement.

Looking at the Japanese who were beaten black and blue under the moonlight, Xu Qin's heart was pounding.

When these Japanese were beaten to a pulp, the people outside the yard seemed to hear some unusual noises, footsteps gradually approaching from afar.

Zhu Gaoyu, Zhu Gaoxu and others inside did not hesitate either. Thinking that the fight was almost over, they simply climbed over the wall and came outside.

Then he carried Xu Qin on his back and quietly returned to the Duke of Wei's mansion.

When we arrived at Xu Qin's room.

The frost and snow that originally stuck to the clothes gradually turned into snow water and dripped down under the warmth of the melting charcoal basin.

Xu Qin was full of excitement at the moment. He put his arm around Zhu Gaoyu's shoulders, his eyebrows flying:
"Cousin, you are so loyal! I am so lucky to have a brother like you. Even if those Japanese complain tomorrow and the Jinyiwei find out about us, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let you take the blame! Anyway, my father is the Duke of Wei. As long as I don't kill anyone, my father can cover it up no matter how big the matter is."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the three older Zhu Gaochi brothers became somewhat complicated.

This is a damn thing...

No wonder even someone like the Duke of Wei often gets angry and his face turns red.

……

The next day.

Yingtian Prefecture gradually began to prepare for the new monarch's coronation ceremony.

The Imperial Observatory has already calculated an auspicious date.

At the same time, officials from the Ministry of Rites also began to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestral temples.

At this critical moment when everyone was on edge and anxious, the Japanese in the Imperial College, after being beaten all night, went to the palace to file a complaint with their trembling bodies.

at that time.

Zhu Yunwen was discussing the reform and reduction of power with his subordinates.

There were two aspects: reforming the system and reducing the power of the feudal lords. Fang Xiaoru was responsible for the reform, while Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were responsible for reducing the power of the feudal lords.

Inside the hall, the emperor and his ministers were looking at the map of the Ming Dynasty, planning the vast territory, and for a moment, their hearts were filled with excitement.

However, at this critical moment, the Japanese envoy limped into the hall under the introduction of the eunuch.

Zhu Yunwen was originally discussing reform measures such as "promoting the six ministers to the first rank" and "establishing left and right Shizhong, ranked above the Shilang" to improve the situation during the Hongwu period where military officials had a higher status than civil officials.

It was only the arrival of the Japanese that forced Zhu Yunwen to focus his attention on him.

Qi Tai looked at the Japanese below, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

The Japanese were cunning. Although they were an unconquered country of the Ming Dynasty and were considered a foreign country, they carried out looting many times in coastal areas, as if they did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously and behaved like treacherous villains.

If there were not nomadic tribes in the north eyeing the Ming Dynasty at this moment, they would have wanted to free up their hands to clean up the coastal areas and deal with the Japanese pirates who were like fleas on the sea.

The Japanese came forward, picked up the strange luggage, and then slowly raised his head.

When he looked up, Emperor Zhu Yunwen and his ministers were immediately shocked, and even Fang Xiaoru gasped.

How did he get beaten like this?

All I heard was the Japanese envoy crying and talking about his experience last night:

"… New Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is this how you treat your guests? We are honest and behave properly, yet we are treated like this…"

Zhu Yunwen was a little impatient, but he still had a smile on his face and looked like he was listening patiently.

But Li Jinglong next to him didn't tolerate it.

"What do you mean by the Ming Dynasty's way of hospitality? Why are there so many foreign envoys in the Imperial College, but the guy who started the fight didn't hit anyone else but you. Don't you think there's something wrong with you too?"

At first glance, this seems to make sense.

But whether it was Zhu Yunwen or the Japanese envoy, they always felt that something was wrong.

Li Jinglong continued:

"Besides, you said you were honest and upright. That's just what you said. Where's the evidence? Who can prove that what you said is right?"

The Japanese people's faces turned red.

This, this is simply unreasonable!
But when he wanted to refute it, he thought of the people he had secretly won over, the information he had obtained, and the money he had collected...

The Japanese envoy was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Li Jinglong couldn't help but sneer.

You really think others are fools.

Before these Japanese people try to act pitiful, they should clean their own butts first!
Although this statement is a bit rough, the truth behind it is not rough.

Compared with the things discussed by Zhu Yunwen and others, the arrival of the Japanese envoys was not a big deal at all.

Zhu Yunwen was currently planning to reduce the power of the feudal lords and had no intention of dealing with these trivial matters.

Seeing this, the Japanese envoy gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved and depressed.

The Ming Dynasty was powerful, and all the small countries around it submitted to it.

When will their country become as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty?

Looking at the shiny gold bricks on the ground, and the Qinhuai River that looked like a cluster of flowers that he had seen in Yingtian Prefecture in recent days, and the silver that flowed like snowflakes during the transactions in the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the ambitions of the Japanese envoys continued to grow.

He limped out of the palace, turned around, and looked at the vermilion palace gate with his heart pounding.

The Ming Dynasty is rich, but one day, all the riches on this land will become the wealth of their country.

Just like the Japanese pirates in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has money and food...

The land of Japan is narrow and barren.

What should I do?
Grab it!

However, this still needs to be done step by step. Right now, it is best to use the opponent's strength to your advantage, at least to ensure that these Japanese envoys can survive well in the Ming Dynasty.

Instantly, Sakai Ryoko thought of a very suitable person in her mind - Xu Qin. ...

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

Xu Qin was sitting on the stool, and before he could sit still, he heard the servant's words and looked up in surprise:
"What? Sakai Ryouko is coming to see me again?"

He turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoyu with a somewhat uneasy expression.

"Cousin, did he realize that we were the ones who beat him up yesterday? Now that none of the cousins ​​are around, it's just you, me, and Zhu Panyan. Will the three of us be bullied?"

When he heard this, Zhu Gaoyu looked a little strange.

His eyes swept over the servants around him.

Although these servants did not have exaggerated bulging muscles, they were tall and strong, and seemed to be good at beating people up.

So...how did Xu Qin come to the conclusion that they would be beaten by Sakai Ryoko?
Zhu Gaoyu patted Xu Qin's hand, and then tried to calm the agitated Zhu Panyu, and said in a very steady tone:
"Cousin, don't worry. Just watch me do it."

Xu Qin's heart immediately felt at ease.

My little cousin is indeed a good brother.

When Sakai Ryoko came in, she was bowing and nodding at first. If it weren't for her weird hairstyle and shoes, she would have looked like an ordinary person who was too polite.

But when he raised his head, Sakai Ryoko was a little confused.

Is this a child playing a game?

None of the three people sitting on the stools were adults.

Xu Qin and Zhu Gaoyu were okay, at least their eyes were bright and they looked like they were old enough to be governors.

But Zhu Panyan still opened his black eyes with a clear look, sucked his fingers, and seemed to understand nothing.

But after thinking about it, Sakai Ryoko became happy.

immature?
It’s good to be ignorant!
Those who are ignorant are more likely to be fooled!

He nodded and bowed to the three people and asked questions, then took out three brocade boxes, which contained exactly three fifty-year-old ginsengs.

When Xu Qin saw the ginseng, he felt a dull pain in his buttocks again.

The look he gave Sakai Ryouko became slightly unfriendly.

This Japanese guy wants to use ginseng as a raft and borrow the power of Duke Wei's Mansion to act arrogantly and domineeringly outside!

It seems that the beating last night was not enough...

Xu Qin thought silently in his heart.

Sakai Ryoko paused in her action of taking out the ginseng, and inexplicably felt a chill on her back.

But this intuition was fleeting and did not attract his attention.

Zhu Gaoyu looked at the ginseng presented to him, and suddenly snorted, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Are you Sakai Ryouko?"

Sakai Ryoko met Zhu Gaoyu at the Tianshou Festival and was deeply impressed by him.

Therefore, when Zhu Gaoyu opened his mouth, he hurriedly bent down:

"Reporting to the prince, I am Sakai Ryouko."

As she spoke, Sakai Ryoko felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation in her heart.

Although the relationship between the new emperor and the vassal kings is somewhat unpredictable now, it would be a good thing if the banner of the Prince of Yan could be raised in the Imperial College.

Just when he was thinking.

Sudden.

"boom."

There was a loud noise.

Sakai Ryoko shuddered subconsciously.

Then, Zhu Gaoyu's indignant words came:

"You want to get rid of the legitimate sons of the Prince of Yan, the Duke of Wei, and the Prince of Ning with just one small ginseng. Sakai Ryoko... your deal is really easy!"

Sakai Ryoko didn't expect that this kid was so smart. He was so cunning that he didn't look like a kid at all.

He was panicking, fearing that these three ancestors would come to settle accounts with him.

By then, when I came to the Duke of Wei's mansion today, not only did I fail to build relationships, but I made enemies instead.

If this is true, I am afraid that the Japanese envoys will have difficulty moving forward in the Imperial College in the future.

Sakai Ryouko broke out in a cold sweat.

He fell to his knees with a thud, and then spoke quickly:
"Prince! I, an outsider... didn't mean that!"

Zhu Gaoyu crossed his legs with a sullen look on his face, looking like a real dandy.

He frowned.

"No use? I see you're using wild ginseng to get rid of us, that's what you mean! Someone, give it to me..."

As Zhu Gaoyu gave the order, the servant next to him, who had a ferocious look on his face, immediately rolled up his sleeves.

All of them were servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion. After special training, they became martial artists that were incomparable to ordinary people.

This can be seen from the flowing lines on their arms.

Sakai Ryoko was completely panicked.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he blurted out:

"Prince! I am wrong! It's not just ginseng! There are other treasures as well!"
