What a passionate and loyal word.
Bai Minghe slapped his hand: "Excellent, your eloquence is comparable to Lord Yang. I ask you and answer you, you only have one chance to answer here. Next, you should know what is in the prison of the East Factory?"
A sharp blade passed by the official, his hair was cut off against his scalp, and a light passage appeared above his head. The master from the East Factory next to Bai Minghe looked at him with a knife Bingbing. It was obvious that the master was confident that he would not kill him even if he cut him a thousand swords.
Khan slipped off the face of the handsome official and he knelt down on the spot. It turned out that he was just a novice who was strong outside and fucked at the middle. Amid Bai Minghe's sneer, the novice told Bai Minghe a story. This story made Bai Minghe sweat in a cold sweat.
The protagonist of this story is nothing else, but Huaiyu's personal mother. A poor woman who fled from the palace. It is nothing wrong with this woman being the personal maid of the current Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu's biological mother. But before, Huaiyu's mother was a person in the harem of Empress Sun. Because she was selected into the harem for only one day, she was returned and exchanged, so she was not recorded, and then arranged for the current Queen Wu.
Because he is naturally beautiful, well-behaved and clever, he is deeply loved. Not only Queen Wu likes it now, but also the late emperor.
Because of this reason, she conceived the late emperor, but the child was not yet born. The late emperor passed away. Thinking about the risks after Empress Dowager Sun took power, she escaped from the palace under the protection of Jin Ying and others. Strictly speaking, Huaiyu's mother was Empress Dowager Sun's man, but she was also a person who betrayed Empress Dowager Sun. Because she was moved by Empress Wu's kindness and was afraid of Empress Dowager Sun's cruelty.
Among the people who secretly found Huaiyu and his son outside the palace, this handsome official was one of them.
Thinking back to the time, Zhu Qiyu couldn't even enter the palace and grew up in a small house outside the palace. You can imagine how terrible the Queen Mother Sun was. This woman's history records were the treacherous Sun.
"Check it out. With his exams and talents, is his current official position suitable?"
"The lower officials are incompetent." This official is tactful.
But the next time he bit him to death, it was the palace maid who seduced him instead of the courage he had.
"Check the fourth generation of his family and let him write down everything he knows. No one is allowed to approach the prison cell. Even if it is a decree of Long Live, he will send someone to ask for instructions again. In case someone kills someone to silence the silence." Bai Minghe picked up his official hat and walked out. The handsome official could no longer control his fear and was covered in yellow and white.
After leaving the study door, Bai Minghe felt cold after the cool breeze blew. He said to Shu Liang, "I'm really scared!"
"I am afraid, too, I am afraid of death." Shu Liang was telling the truth. This matter was already very terrifying.
Zhu Qiyu's theory method is that without details, you can be punished by others. Therefore, the target of the palace is to present the Holy Empress Dowager. The fact that he once took his son and became the crown prince is not a secret. Even Zhu Qizhen, who is now living in Nangong, knew that his biological mother must have been buried with the late emperor.
Entering the palace from Donghua Gate, there is a forest path after entering the main entrance of the palace. A gust of wind blew, causing Bai Minghe to tremble all over, and it was very cold.
Look around. There are only four fixed guards and six patrol guards outside this small garden.
The flowers and plants did not swing very clearly, but the wind was so cold.
It is less than October yet, it is just late autumn. Does this coldness come from the inside or the weather really gets cold? Or is the palace itself cold. The cold walls, the cold interpersonal relationships, and the cold palace like cold. Or the countless unjust souls in the palace.
Taking a deep breath, tightened the cloak, the white-famous crane stepped forward.
The guards saw the white crane coming and straightening their bodies. This was a kind of etiquette. Ordinary soldiers respected the etiquette of officials.
The white-known He nodded slightly and returned the gift, taking big steps towards Wenhua Palace.
The two guards were talking in a low voice. One said, "Last night, a brother injured his arm while practicing knife, saying that he wanted to try what it would feel like to stick to the wound."
“What’s the result?”
"He said it felt like it was a soldering iron coming on his body, such as it hurts when his arm was scratched by a knife. This Lord Bai is really a tough guy."
Bai Minghe would not hear the rumors behind these. There are too many rumors about himself. If he really uses paper to record it, he can use a car to load it.
In the Wenhua Hall, several old ministers who were old enough and had high enough status were sitting in the house discussing without a word. Younger and lower-level ones were waiting in the Supreme Hall. With such an identity, they could naturally sit and wait in the Wenhua Hall. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty would not come to the morning court today. This had already been notified when the ministers entered the hall.
At this time, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was meditating in the Taimiao.
"Mr. Yu hasn't come back, so it's great that Bai Minghe can arrive within one hour. He was seriously injured. According to the Imperial Hospital, there are nearly a hundred wounds of all sizes. Although it is a skin trauma, it is not a minor injury!" Wang Wen saw that no one spoke, so he spoke first.
He was one hundred supporters for the Expedition.
"Bai Minghe is also young!" Jin Lian said that Bai Minghe is still not having enough experience in politics. Don't you know that you are more tactful and have to be beaten and hurt all over your body. This is considered loyalty.
"The military is insufficient at present!" Jiang Yuan, the Minister of Works, said, which could be regarded as supporting Bai Minghe Wan's troops.
"Where is the food and grass?" Chen Xun asked.
Jin Lian, the Minister of Revenue, took over the conversation: "It is enough to say that it is enough, and it can be supported in three months. However, I heard that the navy's transportation capacity is insufficient, and a large number of new warehouses have been built at each terminal, and merchants are lined up with ship positions at the entrances of various shipping yamen. If we emphasize that many ships transport grain from the south, it will be a little trouble."
"Some businessmen dare to mislead state affairs?" Yu Shiyue, the new Minister of Justice, was a little unhappy.
Jin Lian waved his hand: "How much does it cost to lose a boat? Take white linen for example. One less boat is transported to the south, which means that it is less than six hundred taels of tariffs, plus one hundred twenty taels of commercial tax, and thirty taels of silver."
The price of white linen was sold in the domestic sales of the Ming Dynasty. The price has been reduced several times due to the improvement of technology and sufficient raw materials.
The standard linen among the people is four zhang long and two feet and two inches wide. At present, this piece of fine white linen can be bought with an ordinary thickness of one tael of silver. There is also a price of one tael of silver and seven pieces of cloth outside the capital.
A ship is more than one thousand ducts of white linen. Depending on the thickness, one duct is thirty-three to sixty-two horses, and a ship cargo is at least four or five thousand taels of silver. A dock is not as small as one or two ships per day. After the calculation is settled, Yu Shiyue had nothing to say, and the impact is indeed huge.
The reason why the war is not enough is that it will delay the court and the people's earning money.
Although the reason is a bit ridiculous, the facts are right in front of you. The market that has finally flourished must not be affected at this time.
"Can you say that the tile thorn will not be hit?"
Yu Shiyue was not an ordinary civil servant. During the Battle of the Capital, he put on armor to supervise the Desheng Gate and Andingmen. Before that, he had fought Japanese pirates in Shandong for several years and had killed Japanese people with his own hands.
At present, there are only two pure literati of the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty, one is Yang Ning, the Minister of Rites, and the other is He Wenyuan, the Minister of Personnel. The rest have participated in the war somewhat. Among them, the real ruthless people are the current left-level censor Wang Wen, and the other is Yu Shiyue.
"Dear sirs, the official is late." Bai Minghe gave a bow after entering the house, and his movements were very slow.
It’s not that the injuries on his body are really serious, but today I want to discuss a very serious topic, which made Bai Minghe’s already heavy mood even more depressed.
Dealing with Wass is not a crushing naval battle against a small country like the Japanese.
This requires real fighting, and it is a war built up with human lives. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no real easy war against the northern grasslands.
"Sit here, don't be affected by the wind!" Shang Lu pulled Bai Minghe to a corner far away from the window in the house.
"Thank you, sir!" Bai Minghe thanked him but did not give up the seat.
At present, the top important officials of the Ming Dynasty, except for the military generals, were only Yu Qian, Hu Yi and Gao Gu. Those who were waiting in the hall were important officials, but they could participate in military and national affairs, but the decision was not in their hands.
"Long live means that you always have to let some of the big figures such as Watanabe kneel on their knees in front of the Taimiao for a few days."
The words of Baiminghe are nonsense.
Not to mention the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, most of the people here hope to capture the upper nobles of Wats. All of them have gone through the battle to defend the capital without exception, and they have experienced a hard-blooded career. They all have friends, subordinates, and even relatives who died in the battle to defend the capital.
"Bai Minghe, what are you going to fight?"
"I can't do it in tactics. Daming has a famous general right now. I am just a young official. I have thought about how to hit the thorns and have studied it carefully. I was just afraid that I would be scolded by all the seniors when I said it. Of course, Lord Yu has scolded me once, but I still think that my plan is very good!"
Bai Minghe is waiting for someone to support him.
Chen Xun smiled, turned his head to Shang Lu and said, "Shang Lu, what do you think?" With Chen Xun's age and identity, it is nothing wrong to call Shang Lu's name directly, and it is also very suitable.
Shang Lu understood that this was Chen Xun's attitude that he had already expressed his opinion.
He said immediately: "Bai Minghe, if you convince me, I will speak for you sir!"
