"My lord, what a coincidence, I have just arrived in Yingtian, and you are back!"
Yang Jingting had a bright smile on her face. She was indeed very happy at this moment, because Zhu Jinghong was already alone She is alone.
Zhang Xiaoyue, Li Huizhen and the others who came with her were minor characters with no status, so they were qualified to be compared with her, the concubine.
When Yang Jingting approached and saluted, Zhu Jinghong helped her up, and then said: "You have worked hard all the way!"
I saw Yang Jingting raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with joy. Admiringly said: "Thinking that there is no one to take care of the prince, I can't wait to fly to the prince!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly, then took her hand and walked in, and at the same time said: "After lunch, "No?"
Leaning on Zhu Jinghong's shoulder, Yang Jingting replied: "I'm just waiting for the prince to come back. How dare I eat alone?"
"I can't come back." You have to eat when you have to, but don’t starve..."
"If the prince doesn’t come back, all the delicacies will be tasteless!"
The two chatted like this, all the way. Entering the inner house, the food was already prepared.
After having lunch with Yang Jingting, Zhu Jinghong planned to have a good sleep, but unexpectedly another military report was delivered, so Zhu Jinghong had to get down to business first.
In fact, there are many such situations. Now that he is in charge of military affairs in the southeast, many things need to be approved by him, so being busy has become the norm.
Yang Jingting was ready to rest with Zhu Jinghong. Now that Zhu Jinghong left, she was disappointed, so she could only take off her pajamas again and put on her home robe.
She is just disappointed. Zhu Jinghong belongs to him alone now, and he has plenty of time at night even if he can't do it at noon.
There were a lot of official documents submitted. After a while of flipping through and signing them, two hours had passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was dinner time again.
After chatting with Zhang Xiaoyue and others all afternoon, Yang Jingting adjusted her state even more. The originally graceful and luxurious concubine of the palace has now become charming and seductive.
Zhu Jinghong is not a saint. He has been too busy during this period of time, let alone eating meat.
At this moment, when I was alone with Yang Jingting, I couldn't bear her appearance, and I even thought about my respective postures.
The two finished dinner, and just as Yang Jingting took Zhu Jinghong into the inner room, intending to have an in-depth exchange of views, Yu Hai appeared outside again and reported that Nanzhen Fusi had military information to report.
Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to leave again, but he couldn't delay his business, so Yang Jingting stayed alone in the empty room again.
At this moment, she hated the people at Jinling Qianhusuo, but in the end all she could do was get sulky and find a girl to chat with.
When Zhu Jinghong arrived in the front hall, there were two people who came to see him, namely Jia Zhiping, a member of the Jinling Qianhu household in the Northern Division, and Lu Tao, a Qianhu householder in the Nansi Division.
The latter is the main person who reports, and the content of the report is the situation of the Spanish troops stationed in Luzon.
According to various descriptions, the general meaning of the titleThis means that the Spanish fleet is forcibly recruiting local people to expand the docks and military camps.
This already shows that Spain is setting up a confrontation with the Ming Dynasty and has the idea of mobilizing other fleets to help and completely subdue the Ming Dynasty.
This means that fighting Spain is a long-term matter. If the opponent is not severely injured, they will stick to Ming Dynasty.
"Can we find a solution through diplomatic means?"
While Jin Yiwei and the two men continued to analyze the situation, Zhu Jinghong came up with this idea.
The so-called diplomatic method is of course not to negotiate peace with the Spanish, but to unite his opponents to fight against them.
Who do Spaniards compete with?
This problem is very simple. Countries that can send troops to Asia are in competition with each other.
According to the information Zhu Jinghong learned, in Indonesia today, in addition to the Spanish, there are also Portuguese and Dutch, but the latter two occupy less territory.
"You think of a way to contact the Portuguese and Dutch, and tell them that I, the Ming Dynasty, are willing to join forces with them to drive away the Spaniards!"
This matter, of course, depends on Lu Tao went to do it, after all, he was responsible for overseas affairs.
"I'll go down and think of a solution!" Lu Tao responded.
He can only think of a way. He really doesn't dare to guarantee whether he can accomplish this.
After all, the sea is vast, the transmission of messages is slow, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. In addition, there is little contact with the Portuguese and Dutch, and everything is full of difficulties.
"Just try your best!" Zhu Jinghong could only say this.
These are all external forces. The truly effective method is to build a strong navy so that we can not be afraid of threats on the ocean.
After the two men retreated, Zhu Jinghong thought alone for a while, and then wrote a memorial. The main content was to ask the emperor to approve money to build ships and recruit troops.
By the time he finished writing, night had fallen.
While he was longing for the gentle land, he suddenly saw many lotus flowers blooming in the water tank outside the window.
Lotus, the gentleman of flowers!
This reminded him of Daiyu, so he asked Yu Hai: "A few days ago, I asked you to go to the Lin family to see how the situation was?"
"In reply to the prince, , the servant went to take a look, and also asked the prince how he asked Miss Lin! "
"The Lin family looks haggard, and the breath is weak, I am afraid that his time is running out!"
< p>"Miss Lin has been serving all day long, and her complexion looks a little haggard, and there is...""What is it?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a frown.
"The Lin family seems to be fighting for the family property. They have been making trouble in recent days. Two days ago, they... also wanted to force Miss Lin to discuss the matter and divide the Lin family's property!"< /p>
Zhu Jinghong cared so much about the Lin family that even Xia Yuegui knew how to send people to keep an eye on him, and Yu Hai didn’t even dare to show any concern.Without hesitation, several people were sent around the Lin family to find out the news and make reports at all times.
Hearing the news of his report, Zhu Jinghong suddenly turned cold. Even Yu Hai, a personal eunuch, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat at this moment.
"You just watch them make trouble?" Zhu Jinghong's eyes were burning.
Yu Hai was almost frightened to death, and quickly replied tremblingly: "I was going to intervene, but the Xue family uncle took action and went to the Lin family to scold all those people away!"
"Uncle Xue family?"
Yu Hai quickly explained: "He is the princess's brother!"
Zhu Jinghong really didn't believe that Xue Pan could do it. Something like this happened.
"He has been living in confusion for so many years, and now he is finally doing human affairs!"
Yu Hai didn't dare to accept these words randomly. Now that Zhu Jinghong has calmed down, he has no plans to continue. Say more.
After a few moments of silence in the room, Zhu Jinghong said, "Get ready now. I'm going to Lin's house!"
"Go tonight?" Yu Hai was a little surprised.
"What else?"
Zhu Jinghong also knew that this was not good, so he then ordered: "Be low-key, hurry up and make arrangements, I'll give you half an hour!"
"Yes!"
In fact, the most troublesome thing about this matter is Zhu Jinghong's safety, and other things are secondary.
With only half an hour, Yu Hai didn't dare to delay at all, so he quickly went to find Lu Yuxin outside the door to discuss the situation.
Yes, this time Zhu Jinghong came to Jinling, and the person in charge of his close bodyguards was none other than Lu Yuxin, a native of Jinling.
Lu Yuxin was very professional in doing this. He soon made a plan and asked Yu Hai to send people to all the major yamen to spread the word.
Soldiers from the Jinling Qianhu Station of Jinyiwei, the Palace Guards Department, and the Yingtian Guard Qianhu Station all moved after receiving the order.
This is the most urgent order, and no one dares to delay in the slightest.
In less than half an hour, more than 1,500 soldiers mobilized by various government offices rushed to Zhu Jinghong's residence and the road he was about to pass.
Although there is no curfew system, there are not many people at night, so such actions only disturb too many people.
Of course, where Zhu Jinghong is going cannot be hidden from the senior officials of Jinling, and Zhu Jinghong doesn't care much about it.
Although he was suspected of being close to Shilin when he went to the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was considered a loner, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
At around 8:00 p.m., Zhu Jinghong officially set off for the Lin family.
As for the Lin family, after serving her father and drinking the medicine, Daiyu went to the boudoir in a state of sadness.
Sitting alone in front of the mirror, she took a sachet from her arms. It was the one Zhu Jinghong gave her three years ago. Later she found out that Baochai had made it himself.
Remembering that year, I almost threw this thing away, Daiyu rarely showed itA smile.
"He is the only one who can do this. Fortunately, Sister Bao is generous, otherwise none of the sisters would be able to do it!"
While she was murmuring, a girl came. When they got outside the house, Zijuan hurried out to greet him, fearing that this person would affect Daiyu's good mood.
After this person whispered to inform the situation, Zijuan almost thought that she had heard wrongly.
“You’re not joking?”
“How dare you joke about this, little sister? It’s really that Prince Xiang has come, and now the guards have entered the house, and everyone in the house has Go to the cross-yard to escape, let me inform the girl!"
As soon as she heard this gesture, Zijuan knew that the situation was true, so she turned around and ran into the house.
"Girl, good news...good news!"
Looking back and seeing Zijuan beaming with joy, Daiyu asked in surprise: "What good news?"
< p>"The Thirteenth Master is here!""Who did you say is here?" Daiyu stood up straight, as if she didn't believe it.
Jogging to Daiyu's side, Zijuan said with a smile: "The Thirteenth Master is really here. Girl, go and greet him!"
"He...is really here." "?"
"Huh!"
"Why did he come!" Daiyu looked puzzled.
Pushing Daiyu out of the house, Zijuan said anxiously: "Oh, my girl... no matter why he came, it's a good thing if he comes, you'd better go and greet her!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute... Now I look haggard and my clothes are disheveled, I still need to take care of myself!"
In fact, Daiyu does not apply makeup and dresses simply, but she still has an outstanding temperament. Soul.
So Zijuan didn’t understand that Daiyu had to dress up when she saw her, but she still couldn’t help but help her dress up.
It is indeed a very simple truth for a woman to look good to those who please her.
Zhu Jinghong's sedan chair was carried directly from the Lin family gate into the inner courtyard, and then he Shi Shiran walked out.
Lu Yuxin followed him, and there were ten heavily armored guards on the left and right, surrounding Zhu Jinghong in the middle.
As for the courtyard, only the guards could be seen, and no one from the Lin family could be seen.
Daiyu did not show up, which made Zhu Jinghong a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry. He was not afraid of being late for a good meal.
"Go and see Mr. Lin first!" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
This is also a step in his original plan, so everything is ready.
In Lin Ruhai's room, three servants of the Lin family were able to stay. At this moment, there were only four more eunuchs and two more guards at the door.
Before entering the house, Zhu Jinghong smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine just in the yard.
When he entered the house and came to Lin Ruhai's bed, Zhu Jinghong was still shocked when he saw his true condition of skin and bones.
I remember the last time I saw this person. At that time, his body and bones didn’t look very good, but he still looked great.My husband has a noble and noble demeanor. I had thought that he would look like this now.
"Alas..." Zhu Jinghong sighed.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lin Ruhai slowly opened his eyes and saw only a tall figure standing in front of the bed. However, due to the dim light and the degradation of his eyes, he could not see Zhu Jinghong clearly. face.
"Who...who?" Lin Ruhai's breath was weak.
The servants of the Lin family were trembling with fear and kneeling on the ground unable to utter a single word, let alone explain to the head of the family.
At this time, Yu Hai stepped forward and said softly: "Master Lin, His Highness King Xiang is here to see you!"
"Prince Xiang...Prince Xiang..."
Lin Ruhai's eyes opened even wider. He wanted to raise his hand, but in the end he only raised it to two inches, and then fell back to his body.
Zhu Jinghong took two steps forward, and then said: "Mr. Lin, Your Majesty ordered me to come and visit you!"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty..."
Lin Ruhai became excited. He originally thought that the emperor treated him as a tool, but he didn't expect that he could still remember him now.
Zhu Jinghong then said: "The Holy One said that you are a minister of the humerus and thighs, and I want you to take good care of yourself. When you recover... I will send you errands then!"
Although he was already in a dying state, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but tears welling up in his eyes after hearing Zhu Jinghong's words. It was obvious that he was really moved at this moment.
It's a pity that these words were made up by Zhu Jinghong. At present, the struggle between the east, west and north is not peaceful, and the emperor is worried about getting him, Lin Ruhai.
Of course, these are not important to Zhu Jinghong, as long as Lin Ruhai is happy to hear it, which means he will have no regrets.
Just looking at Lin Ruhai's state, Zhu Jinghong was not a professional and could tell that this person could die at any time.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Lin Ruhai began to speak incoherently, and then her voice became weaker and weaker, and she closed her eyes again after a while.
If he hadn’t seen his chest rise and fall, Zhu Jinghong would have thought he was dead, which would be a joke.
"Your Majesty, Miss Lin is here!" Yu Hai reminded at the right time.
Zhu Jinghong turned his head and saw Daiyu entering the room.
I saw Daiyu wearing a moon-white robe, with only a few simple hairpin rings in her hair. She looked simple but still graceful, making it difficult to look away at the first sight.
Although she saw her sweetheart in front of her, Daiyu did not dare to take another look. Instead, she walked over with her down payment low, and finally prostrated herself in front of Zhu Jinghong.
"My lord, I pay homage to Your Highness, may you live a thousand years!"
"Without courtesy, please get up quickly!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
Daiyu stood up with the help of Zijuan, and then she looked directly at Zhu Jinghong for the first time.
The Ming God of War, who is decisive in killing, has only tenderness in his eyes at this moment. This is a treatment that most women in the palace do not have.
“Your Highness came here late at night, what is the purpose of your visit?”
Daiyu’s question was nonsense. She knew very well why Zhu Jinghong came, but she just hoped that he could give a reasonable reason.
Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly and said: "When I came to Jinling, the Holy One was concerned about your father's condition, so I came to visit you today!"
"Your father has already gone to bed, let's not disturb him." If you have anything to say, let’s go out and talk!”
Daiyu glanced at her father who was sleeping on the bed, nodded and followed Zhu Jinghong out. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
