Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the court with three parts of luck and seven parts of excitement.

Yesterday, the emperor finally boarded the long-awaited flower boat, and still succeeded in escaping from Empress Ma's discerning eye despite someone's bad idea.

Such a rich man is really interesting.

Mu Ying stood in the court hall, and when she saw her foster father smiling, she knew what he was thinking.

Not to mention Zhu Biao standing aside, the father and son all escaped with oranges. The fresh and exciting smell perfectly covered the smell of rouge and gouache.

Zhu Biao remembered that the Crown Princess had checked around yesterday and found nothing unusual, and couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

The three of them, father and son, had smiles on their faces and kept silent about everything.

"Your Majesty, the three strategies for pacifying Japan are now being implemented along the coast of Shandong, and the results can be said to be remarkable!"

Tao Kai, the Minister of Rites, caressed his beard and chuckled, "It's all thanks to the Emperor's discerning eyes that he chose Yue Lin to go and quell the Japanese!"

Everyone has a happy relationship with him from the east of Zhejiang. Yue Lin is not from Huaixi, and he has a close relationship with the three elders from east Zhejiang. It is not too much to say that he is a member of his family.

Liu Bowen and Li Min looked at each other and smiled. Li Min stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the gunpowder developed by the Ministry of Industry based on a new formula is even more powerful, almost three times the original!"

"In the future, our army's muskets will be the nightmare of the Beiyuan Tatars!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Li Min, Tao Kai, you two are determined!"

As soon as these words came out, the Huaixi officials felt unhappy, but it was a pity that they had no attack to praise.

As the prime minister, Hu Weiyong finally came up with a feat and reported: "Your Majesty! Lu Zhongheng guarded the Japanese in Weihai and beheaded thirty real Japanese to enhance the power of our army!"

What?

Zhu Yuanzhang said doubtfully: "Wei Yong, did we hear correctly? Thirty?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebel army, he never had to behead thirty people and report his merits to the court.

Hu Weiyong's old face turned red. But for such a major event as pacifying Japan, the Huaixi group sent Zhou Dexing, Lu Zhongheng and Chen Ying, but now they don't even have any sense of existence.

Almost all the credit fell on Yue Lin. The eastern Zhejiang line made a lot of money, while the Huaixi line lost money to my grandma's family.

Now Zhou Dexing is deeply involved in smuggling and has no choice but to be temporarily transferred back to Jinling.

These thirty heads represent the last dignity of the Huaixi Group!

Ahem!

Liu Bowen couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Japanese army are brave and good at fighting, and I admire them very much."

As the leader of eastern Zhejiang, he actually agreed with Hu Weiyong's words, saying that the sun really rises from the west.

"However, after several sea trades, incomplete statistics show that the Maritime Chamber of Commerce has killed more than 800 real Japanese."

What?

Eight hundred are really Japanese!

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong defended himself: "Your Majesty does not know something. Yue Lin is clearly inciting the people! A Japanese pirate head is worth twenty taels of silver!"

"What if the people are injured? This Yue Lin is eager for quick success and this is not feasible! The Japanese pirates should be left to the Japanese army to deal with them!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Liu Bowen was hesitant to speak, he smiled and said: "Bowen, if you have something to say, just say it. Why hide it with us?"

Liu Bowen bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "Reporting to the Emperor, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, we do our duty to fight against the Japanese pirates, and we do not ask for a penny in rewards!"

call……

Hu Weiyong was so angry that he was trembling with anger. All the military achievements he had made in preparation for the Japanese army were taken away by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

What is the emperor thinking?

The people spontaneously organized themselves to fight against the Japanese, and the emperor had not yet come to support them, so they would not say that the other side had taken away the work of preparing the Japanese army.

"Come here, tell Lu Zhongheng a message! Learn more from the men of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce!"

"You were eating the salary from the imperial court, but ended up cutting off the heads of thirty Japanese pirates?"

"Outsiders still think that our imperial army is just a waste of money!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, all the officials immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The Huaixi officials even glared at Liu Bowen, and hated Yue Lin in their hearts.

If this son hadn't suddenly landed in Weihai, Weiping, why would there have been so many troubles?

Maybe everyone has started happily smuggling sea trade and become a moth in the Ming Dynasty!

Unfortunately, Zhou Dexing and Lu Zhongheng underestimated Yue Lin too much. As a result, Huaixi lost the opportunity to smuggle sea trade along the coast of Shandong.

"Preach our decree! No one is allowed to raise a thin horse anymore!"

"Those who buy or sell children will be punished with an additional penalty!"

"We want a talented woman who will no longer make a living by making jokes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crowd and snorted: "What? This matter is difficult?"

"If all the women become skinny horses, who will take care of their husbands and raise their children in the future?"

The emperor is wise!

The East Zhejiang people were the first to react. They were all officials of the Qing Dynasty, so naturally they could not stand such lewd things.

Liu Bowen was even more excited. He had wanted to speak out several times, but he thought twice and was worried that it would involve too much, so he did not say anything.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was aware of this matter and directly sent the order to all officials to implement it.

"Your Majesty's move has saved thousands of women. I thank you!"

Liu Bowen bowed deeply, while Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly.

There has always been a need in the hearts of these monarchs and ministers.

As a Confucian scholar-official, Liu Bowen cultivated his moral character, managed his family, governed the country and brought peace to the world, and was not afraid of any powerful people at all.

He would not say anything flattering to Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that this great talent had always looked down on him.

This person's allegiance is to the people of the world, not to Zhu Yuanzhang alone.

But now Liu Bowen bows deeply to the people, which can be said to be a humble attitude.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel quite proud, "Bo Wen, I'll leave this matter to you! Redeem the bodies of the women who are willing to leave the brothel, and those who are unwilling to leave will stay."

The emperor is wise!

When the officials paid their respects again, the Huaixi people were a little confused. They all indulged in pleasure and could be regarded as regular visitors to the Qinhuai River.

I don’t know why the emperor banned Yangzhou thin horses. There are always people with vested interests in this world who never consider the lives of the lower class people.

Hu Weiyong rolled his eyes and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, you said before that Mei Yin, the descendant of Mei Sizu, is a very talented person... and Princess Ning is a match made in heaven..."

Um?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Hu Weiyong and said with a smile: "Weiyong, when do we need your consent to marry our daughter?"

"Our daughter already has a sweetheart! Since you mentioned this matter, we might as well grant her a marriage directly!"

"Princess Ningguo and Princess Yongtai are betrothed to Yue Lin, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!"

As soon as these words came out, Baiguan's mind went blank. How could Yue Lin marry two princesses directly?

Hu Weiyong was even more unsteady on his feet. For Yue Lin, rising to prominence was simply a piece of cake!

For the sake of Princess Ningguo, who among the clan would not sell Yue Lin's three-point thin noodles?

As for whether there will be war or peace with Bei Yuan in the future, Yue Lin will have the right to say because of Princess Yongtai.

With the help of Yue Lin, wouldn't the eastern Zhejiang line be able to directly overwhelm Huaixi?

Hu Weiyong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. The ant he once easily crushed has now become the emperor's son-in-law?

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you congratulate us on getting such a good son-in-law?"
