Chapter 383 The so-called auspiciousness (Part 2)
Xie Jin and the others heard that Zhu Di no longer insisted on moving the capital, so they immediately shouted long live the mountain and flattered Zhu Di was indeed the lord of the wise. But when they wanted to get up, it was a big trouble. After kneeling for two hours, they spoke happily in their mouths, but they didn't notice that their thighs and calves were all numb. Just as they were about to get up, they fell to the ground. The rules of the Ming Dynasty were not good, and the ministers had to kneel on the ground for asking for things.
Lu Feng smiled sinisterly, deliberately pretending not to see Xie Jin and the others and flipped beside him, and stood up and stood back to the general's train. Then he turned around and said in a fuss: "Oh, great masters, what do you think, what..."
Zhu Di smiled secretly, squinted his eyes and said, "Okay, this idea is good. In the future, I will argue with you every day, and you will kneel down every day. One day I will annoy me, so I will let you kneel down for three days and three nights, and sooner or later, torture you old guys to death." Of course, this is absolutely impossible to say. He said gently: "Oh, why do you Qing family look like this? General Manager Lu, send a few people to send them back to the house to rest... Well, don't look at me like this, I will not discuss the capital after leaving your family."
Xie Jin gritted his teeth tightly, walked a few steps in the hall with the support of several eunuchs, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty, it's okay, I can support you. How can I leave first when I discuss matters in the morning? This is not something that I should do for me! Well, if your Majesty has anything else, please tell me and let me discuss it."
Zhu Di nodded dispensablely and thought: "Okay, you are going to suffer, but it has nothing to do with me." He looked at Xie Jin and the others with a smile, nodding and complimenting: "The Jie Qing family is indeed a pillar of the country, and I am worried about the world. Well, I will just talk a long story. Ma He, let's talk first."
Ma He turned out from behind Zhu Di, bowed slightly and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I was ordered to supervise the creation of the treasure ship, and there has been a result. A few years ago, I and Lord Lu led the navy to cross the east to Fusang and tested the power of the navy's treasure ship. It was indeed no one in the world to take charge of it. After spring, in just two months, eighteen other treasure ships were launched, which had reached the number required by His Majesty. Now, our navy can carry 15,000 naval warriors, thousands of troops, and countless artillery at a time. It is not difficult to sweep the ocean."
The ministers in the court looked at Zhu Di, not knowing what he was going to say. But they saw Zhu Di stand up, glanced at the civil and military ministers, and said in a deep voice: "I ordered Ma He to build treasure ships a few years ago for our navy to rush to the West... Since ancient times, our central government has been known as the center of heaven and earth, and all countries have served us. Now our Ming Dynasty is growing more and more powerful, and it is the time to show our heavenly power to the world. Where my navy's sword is facing, the barbarians bow their heads. How powerful is this?"
Xie Jin was the first to go out for the squad, and he was like a bunch of flowers, saying the significance of the Ming Navy's voyage to the West was so magnificent. The civil and military ministers were also praised for their kindness, and at the same time they danced and shouted, and they kept flattering. Everyone was very proud of their face, and the huge navy's voyage to the West was even more respectful. The civil and military ministers had already thought of the magnificent scene of foreign envoys who were trembling all over, kneeling in front of the Ming court. This was the real thing of worship for all nations! If anyone dared not come, then he would destroy his country.
The civil officials spoke in a series of popular words, while the military generals kept thinking about whether there were any of their relatives and friends who were good at fighting in order to obtain the position of commander of the West. Even if they could not be the head coach, it would be a good general who could be a member of the general. Such activities must be a matter of being famous for the past generations and a good reputation for the eternal ones. If they were not involved in one, wouldn’t it be a man of a dignified ambition to make the world famous?
But Zhu Di smiled and said, "Ma He has made contributions to the creation of the navy, especially in recent years, he has been training the navy. No one in the court can match him in maritime affairs. Today, I will specially order Ma He as the governor of the Ming Navy and choose a date to lead the navy to the south and cross the West."
Before the civil and military ministers could react, Zhu Di said in a very serious tone: "In addition, I know the risks at sea, hurricanes and rainstorms, and various unexpected accidents are really harmful. Therefore, I respectfully invite the Immortal Shui Yuanzi to serve as the French army to protect the storm on the sea to stop the storm at sea. I wonder if the Narcissus is willing?"
Shui Yuanzi jumped up from the chair and said with a big bag: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when you go to the sea, you will be at my grandfather's house. Haha, as long as you don't meet a person of the level of Dragon God in the Four Seas, when it comes to manipulating the wind, rain, waves, grandfather, I'm the second, even in the fairy world, the gods, there is only one person who dares to say the first place. Haha! Don't worry, don't worry, as long as I'm in the navy fleet, you must not make any mistakes." He laughed so much that his teeth were almost jumping away. He was so happy that there were fun things to voyage to the West. Well, I didn't run around!
Zhu Di laughed loudly and bowed to Shui Yuanzi, "Then it will be a blessing for seniors." He felt very calm. With such a profound and unfathomable figure as Shui Yuanzi, he might be able to wipe out the Ming Navy in the fleet, at least it would be impossible to have it on the sea. What's even more wonderful is to let this lawless old guy leave the capital quickly, otherwise the demeanor of the entire Ming Dynasty would be ruined. Zhu Di felt that he was a chamber pot, which was too smelly, and he could not live without him, so he could only stay away from him.
The civil and military ministers looked at Ma He with a righteous face, and then looked at Shui Yuanzi, who was full of hippie and smile, and couldn't help but feel funny in their hearts: "These two met together, let's see how many jokes this navy can make. Haha, haha!"
While thinking about this, Zhu Di suddenly looked at Lu Feng and said in a deep voice: "I know that in addition to hurricanes and tsunamis, there are countless pirates on the ocean. Although I have sent the most elite navy in the Ming Dynasty, there are all martial arts masters among the pirates, especially their good battles at sea. Ordinary soldiers are definitely not their opponents... For this reason, I want to send a capable general to lead thousands of masters to go out with the fleet. I wonder which Qing family volunteered to do so?"
Several generals were happy and wanted to come out for a request, but Zhu Di immediately added: "Your family should pay attention. What I want is a master in martial arts, but not a master in battle formation. If you want to talk about battle formation, the Ma and Ma Qing family are also rare generals in the world."
Lu Feng knew in his heart that this was coming. He then slowly left the shift and knelt respectfully on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, my uncle Lu Feng, I am willing to lead many good players in the Jinyiwei to accompany Ma and Lord Ma to the war."
Seeing Lu Feng appear, the generals immediately took their steps back. What are you kidding? First, they knew that they could not beat Lu Feng. Second, they knew that they could not offend Lu Feng. But they were also surprised: "This trip to the West is a very hard thing. Although it can be spread by some fair reputation, it can make some extra money and be worshipped by the barbarian king, it is not as powerful as the commander of the Jinyiwei in the capital. What is your identity? How could you voluntarily take on such a hard work?"
Xie Jin and several other civil officials were suddenly stunned, looked at each other, and wisely closed their mouths. They knew in their hearts, what should we use the Jinyiwei? What should we use the commander of the Jinyiwei? What should we use the most vicious hunting dog under Zhu Di, recognized by the world, who else can we have except the person who knows life and death?
Ru Taisu and several other people who knew each other looked at each other and thought: "Okay, Your Majesty is definitely not at ease if you don't kill that person. If you can't find the Central Plains, you will send troops to attack Nanjiang and search for Nanjiang. I guess I haven't found it in Nanjiang now, so I just sent a navy to go out to sea and search overseas. It turns out that I'm poor in searching the world, and I have to find that person to kill!" However, many ministers had even thoughts in their hearts: "Forget it, the devil of the Lu family has left, I'm afraid that this period of time will be much better in the capital?"
But when Zhu Di looked happy, he kept saying, "Lu Qing's family is willing to share my worries, I am very relieved." He now granted Lu Feng a flashy title, and gave him many fertile land, several horses, and gold and silver... After the reward was completed, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Lu Qing's family must act carefully when accompanying Ma He to the sea this time, and be careful!" The meaning of this is: "Be careful, don't let Zhu Yunwen go, be careful and cut him off."
Lu Feng smiled and knelt down and said, "I respect the order... Your Majesty, I have another important matter."
Zhu Di said with a smile: "Authentication."
Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a dark voice: "I went out to sea this time as the aileron of Ma and Lord Ma, protecting the safety of our Ming Navy. However, I am in a heavy position and in charge of the Jinyiwei's duties to supervise the world. If I leave for too long, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be blocked from hearing and hearing, which is really unbeautiful. Therefore, I have been thinking about the solution recently and finally got an idea... Xu Qing, a military advisor under my subordinate, is very wise and can be the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. Zhou Chu, Lu An and Lin Shi are loyal to Your Majesty, and have a high-level martial arts skills, and can be used with great value."
At that moment, Lu Feng thought about what he thought of, when he was not in the capital, how should the Jinyiwei act, who should be responsible to, etc., and said clearly. When Zhu Di heard Lu Feng's words, he immediately knew in his heart that Lu Feng was afraid that once he went to sea, it might take about two years, so he first divided the power of personnel changes so that no one could take his position. If the Jinyiwei's power was controlled by his confidant, and then he received the emperor's orders, it would be foolproof.
At that moment, Zhu Di agreed to Lu Feng's proposal. In order to express his importance to going to sea, express his favor for Lu Feng, and express his appreciation for the Jinyiwei, he simply awarded the title of second-rank, third-rank to fourth-rank generals by Xu Qing and other Jinyiwei. This move is so great that Lu Feng has not yet seen any results in going to sea. The Jinyiwei has already begun to be promoted and made a fortune in a comprehensive manner. According to the number of people in the Jinyiwei leader who now has the title of general, if the Jinyiwei expands its army according to the military system, it will immediately be an army of 100,000 troops.
Lu Feng returned to the train with satisfaction, smiled at the civil and military officials in the court, nodded, with a profound meaning. He meant: "Look, even if I, Lu Feng, is no longer in the capital, I have the final say in this Jinyiwei. You still have to be careful and have to be a human being with my tail. Don't collude with each other, want to plot against my Jinyiwei."
Shui Yuanzi's puzzled question came from Lu Feng's ears: "Boy, how could you agree to the emperor going to sea? You are not afraid. As soon as you go to sea, someone immediately won the emperor's favor and replaced your position? Well, didn't the little Lizi beside Zhu Xi's side get out of the East Factory with the order? Are you not afraid?"
Squinting his eyes and smiling, Lu Feng did not answer Shui Yuanzi's words. Who can take his place? The Jinyiwei is almost all his disciples, and the officials' yamen are also his loyal disciples lurking. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to replace him. Staying in the capital is just like now, favored by the emperor. But if he can make a few contributions while going out to sea, such as killing Zhu Yunwen, then when he returns to the capital, his status will naturally be improved.
What's more, Lu Feng thought of the various strange phenomena he saw when he was meditating many times. The earth under his feet was really a ball? In his bones, Lu Feng was also a Taoist practitioner. His pursuit of the mystery of nature was also extremely strong. Going to sea to see more things may be the best way to improve his cultivation.
What is Tao? Tao is this nature! Only by joining the nature can you finally understand the great way. Lu Feng does not think that he can improve his cultivation in the Tao realm by conspiring to frame others all day long in the capital. Now his power is as stable as Mount Tai in Huanglongmen, Minglong Society, army, and Jinyiwei. Since that is the case, why not give yourself a chance to improve yourself more and make your strength stronger?
Moreover, how many rare treasures will be above the West? If you can collect all the treasures in your hands, even if they are of little use to you, it will be beneficial to your disciples. Lu Feng doesn’t want to make his hair white for a few foundation-laying elixirs like last time. This time, with Shui Yuanzi accompanying him, he happened to go to the Western Islands to plunder them. So what if he takes action to snatch them? I will search all the treasures there first before I finish it!
Zhu Di said something again, but Lu Feng didn't even listened to it. It must be just some of the nonsense that everyone worked together to make the Ming Dynasty feel like nonsense! But when Zhu Di finally let himself stay, Lu Feng listened to it sincerely. Want to stay by himself? What are you doing? Don't Zhu Di know that he has to deal with many things?
The civil and military officials dispersed, and until all the officials left the palace, they said in harmony: "Ma He, Lu Feng, this time you went to the West... In addition to what I told you, the matter of visiting that person is put first, promoting the power of the Ming Dynasty is also an important task. However, in addition to that, you..." Zhu Di seemed a little uncomfortable, but after hesitating for a while, he said a little embarrassedly: "If you can meet some rare birds and beasts in the West, you might as well bring them back more."
Lu Feng, Ma He, and Shui Yuanzi were all stunned for a moment. What did this emperor say? Why did he become interested in rare birds and beasts?
But Zhu Di explained: "I had the intention to ask the daffodil to catch a few real fairy birds. But I thought, as an emperor, practicing the way of heaven is already against the heavens. Now I am walking on thin ice every day and dare not be good at it. How can I do such things? I think that the fairy birds in the heavenly world have their own things. Even if the daffodils can be caught, I am afraid they will do a lot of jealousy. It is not a good thing." After a pause, Zhu Di spread his hands and said, "However, this matter must be helped by rare birds and strange beasts to facilitate the action."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Those ministers always persuade me with the luck of the world, saying that the capital must not be moved. Then, I will refute him by the will of God. If you can bring back some rare birds and beasts that have never been seen in the Central Plains, I will proclaim that they are auspicious gifts from God, and God has ordered me to move the capital. In this way, I am still afraid that I will not be able to subdue the leisurely mouths of the people in the world? Who dares to talk to me in the civil and military affairs of the court?"
Lu Feng and Ma He looked at each other and secretly gave a thumbs up. This emperor is so smart! The two of them said without any worries: "Your Majesty, how dare you disrespect the order?"
Shui Yuanzi leaned lazily on the chair, pulling a strand of his long hair randomly, saying, "Oh, Emperor, are you going to be lucky? It's easy! Grandpa, I gave up my life and went to the sky to capture an immortal official, so that he could read the will of heaven in front of the civil and military ministers, and let you move the capital. What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?"
Zhu Di coughed, too lazy to look at Shui Yuanzi. You have endless magic power and are not afraid of God's punishment, but Zhu Di is afraid. The more you practice Taoism, the more Zhu Di is aware that the power of heaven is unpredictable! If he had practiced Taoism, he might have really agreed to Shui Yuanzi's mischief.
He didn't dare to mention this topic again. As long as Lu Feng and Ma He remembered it, it would be fine. If he talked too much, Shui Yuanzi would really rise and he would go to the heaven to harass him for no reason. Maybe the immortal was furious and vented his anger on him, Zhu Di, and that would be a disaster. At this moment, he turned the topic: "I want to move the capital, which is also a matter for the country and the people. However, all the civil and military officials in the court, except for the two noble families, I am afraid that no one will support my actions? Alas, the south is romantic and the north is bitter and cold. If I hadn't been this emperor, I would not have been willing to go to the north."
He looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "However, for the sake of the luck of the world and for the people, I must move the capital. Humph, they want to stay in Yingtian Prefecture for a happy and romantic life. How can such a cheap thing be? If these ministers stay in the south for a long time, their roots will be rotten?...Qinhuai Fengyue, hehe, Qinhuai Fengyue..."
