Chapter two hundred and fifty.
It was really novel that the leisurely Supervisor Yuan could call him to speak on his own initiative, but Mao Jue's face was laid down. He even guessed that what this old guy wanted to say was nothing more than a loyal minister and filial son, a family, country and the world. He opened his mouth and despised himself, a selfish ghost.
However, Old Yuan spoke, Mao Jue still gave this face. He had a bitter face and simply clasped his fists.
"What is Lord Yuan's teaching?"
"General Mao, Yuan will not comment on what you did, but just remind you to pay attention to the court!"
"The court?"
This really made Mao Jue a little confused. Dongjiang is different from any military town in the Ming Dynasty. It was fugitives, refugees, defeated soldiers in Liaodong, and even many Hu people outside the pass. In short, they were all established by illegal people. The control of the court here was extraordinary. If other military towns had sent troops privately like Mao Jue, they would have been taken down by the Ministry of War. However, Mao Jue attacked Japan twice and expeditioned to Jiangnan once. The court knew nothing about this.
At most, he knew that he had opened a border market and did business with the Later Jin Dynasty, but now there were more border towns that were doing business with the northern Hu people, and the court could not control it.
Mao Jue planned to leave the court alone in this matter in Japan, and suddenly Yuan Chonghuan paid attention to the court, which made him inexplicably.
"A general should not only focus on military affairs, but also have a wide range of mountains, rivers, geography, customs, and historical origins. Only by looking at the six directions and listening to all directions! Winning on the battlefield is the decisive."
"When I was the assistant chief of Ningqian Dao Army, I studied the battle of Renchen. I won't talk about the strength and weakness of the Japanese soldiers. I believe General Mao himself knows better than me, but I'm afraid General Mao has never noticed their major characteristics."
He didn't keep it a secret, Yuan Chonghuan said very seriously.
"These Japanese are especially good at combining the art of tying and connecting the border!"
"In the battle of Renchen, although the war between the two sides continued, the envoys were constantly in constant contact, and more than a dozen times, General Xiao Mao attacked Japan twice. Although I don't know what the situation is, I am afraid that the Japanese will not sit and watch General Xiao Mao, you are so erratic. If I expected it well, the Japanese will be sent to the Li Korean North Korea and the Ming Dynasty. The envoys who mediated and colluded were ready to go. If the Japanese were asked to make the matter to the court, General Xiao Mao will not be able to take it!”
"So, if you really decide to do this, you must hurry up. If you clean up the enthronement edict from the Toyotomi family, you must first define this principle and imitate the Annan law. The court has to take care of it. If you have the status of yourselves, it is legitimate to send troops to Japan!"
"That's all."
Seeing that Master Yuan was walking back to his room with his book in a casual manner, Chiyoji grimaced at him and followed him in, Mao Jue felt a little surprised.
Indeed, the technique of combining vertical and horizontal lines!
The Japanese country is a little bit bigger, and it is divided into 66 decree countries, hundreds of martial arts families of all sizes, relying so much as one of them, and with just one of them, they can't do anything big. Since the Yingren Rebellion, there have been no major wars that have not been a few or dozens of them to form gangs. Take the Sekihara War as an example. The Tokugawa family has only tens of thousands of troops. What are the remaining ones? The Fukushima family, the Kuroda family, the Hosokawa Kato family and other daimyos. They have to unite so many families, and the experience of Japanese diplomacy is far greater than that of the unified Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible to defeat the Tokugawa family in the capital to file a lawsuit.
However, Yuan Chonghuan's suggestions were both pros and cons. First of all, the expenses for going to Beijing. In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to do something, you need money to clear the way. The greed of those civil servants was unbearable, especially the prime minister Wen Tiren was greedy for power but not money. This did not mean that Mao Jue saved money, but instead asked him to do things. Mao Jue had to find more precious treasures to be a gatekeeper.
Moreover, once the name of the Toyotomi family was given in the court, it would be much more difficult to replace it with Mao Jue and Li De Tao Zombie, and it could only be controlled indirectly through an agent-style method.
The pros and cons of this were full of brains. When Mao Jue pinched his chin, he walked out with great difficulty.
While he was thinking, Sakura Mori sneaked to the side of Kafei Temple and asked in a hurry.
"Kakai Hall, was His Highness Chiyo Hime sent out together, just for marriage? Now that the Maori family has been cut off and its strength has declined, and then Mori Motohiro did not have the courage to compete with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Now he can't count on him. Why don't His Highness Chiyo Hime marrying General Mao? It's better than the adopted father and son who are verbally agreed to be adopted! Besides, the Lord has appointed General Mao as his adopted father, so how should the world's daimyo view the Lord?"
Maori Sakura really couldn't figure it out. At the critical moment, why was Kafai Temple unable to bear to leave the book?
Who knew that at this moment, the dark old eyes of Jiafei Palace were full of indifference and said coldly.
"The Toyotomi family's marriage is concerned about Toyotomi family, and the name of the master is Sakura, don't forget that you are now Mao Jue's retainer, not my Toyotomi family!"
"I……"
Full of disbelief, Mori Sakura looked at the cold old face of Kafai Temple in shock. She had been sticking to the Toyotomi family for so many years, but in a blink of an eye, she was actually regarded as an outsider.
After a few seconds of dullness, Mori Sakura then restrained her expression and became expressionless. She saluted the Kafei Palace slightly, then hugged the knife, and hurriedly returned to Mao Jue's steward team.
…………
As worthy of being the Commander Yuan, Mao Jue was frowning after saying a few words. After returning to Baima City, he called Adrena. The two of them locked them in the study and ignored the customers for a whole afternoon. In the evening, Mao Jue went to the hot spring valley first, and then pulled Mao Wenlong to the Dongjiang Academy located in the back mountain, causing Shen Guangzuo to be troubled.
Jiang is still so old. With these two old seniors analyzing the pros and cons, Mao Jue finally made up his mind.
This time, the remaining ministers of Kumano Navy from Toyotomi family were brought back by Mao Jue. Some of them were sent to Shangshou Village to serve their little master Toyotomi Kuromatsumaru. Another part of Mao Jue selected more than 20 people from them to form the Toyotomi mission. Not to mention, it was really called a relative's house. The old master Shen Guangzuo left all his class and found an empty classroom to train these mission etiquette and precautions.
If you go to the capital, how to submit a letter of state to the Honglu Temple, and how to pay a letter to the Ming Dynasty if the Emperor summoned him, how to pay a visit? The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. If it is not done well, things will be easy to be missed. But on the contrary, if everything is in accordance with etiquette and respectful, it will definitely win the elbows in the court, and give the two ministers who are even more close to their own sons.
Of course, this is just open, and there are still a lot of people who play with the silence.
In the secret room, several large boxes were lifted up, and the golden light reflected by the candlelight immediately shattered the eyes, and Mao Jue was also feeling distressed and bleeding.
This is the gold he had tried his best to blackmail from the shogunate! Ten thousand taels of them had been given to the Kuroda family as gifts, and the remaining 40,000 taels were all here. I guess they had to deal with the affairs of Japan. If all these were spent, it might be a bit insufficient. I brought the gold from the treasury. Mao Jue said goodbye to the last time, and with a last cruel heart, he covered the box with a bang.
But when he walked out the door, he suddenly became confused again. There is gold, but who should I send to the capital to help him do this?
After all, I have to calculate that there are many muscles and sticks under my command. With Fan Wenju joining the local government, the operation of Dongjiang Academy is now not lacking. But I really don’t have diplomatic talents who are good at joining the ranks and boundaries. When I go to the capital to do business, I have to go to the capital to do more things. I can’t handle the money and the matter can’t be done. In the past, Mao Wenlong’s work was done by Wen Bo.
But Wen Bo was sick at the beginning of this year, and he was almost in his seventies. It took him hard to go to the capital to go to the capital. Mao Jue was really afraid that he would not come back.
But, who should I send?
However, this matter was not the most tangled thing. After returning to the mansion, he stayed in the study for a long time without having dinner. Until he was about to go to bed, Mao Jue had no choice but to ring the bell and called the servants who were serving outside in.
"Please come, madam!"
"Master, please, who wife should I ask?"
After something happened last time, everyone in the mansion knew who was the first lady? Mao Jue's order made the servant ask in surprise.
But this sentence almost made Mao Jue vomit blood and shouted in anger.
"There is only a regular lady in the mansion. Who do you think you want to invite?"
Almost scared, he bowed and turned around and ran away. Fortunately, he still had an IQ. After a while, Chen Jiao walked into the study with the corner of her skirt.
"Master, you want to see me."
"kindness!"
With a stern face, he didn't even raise his head. Mao Jue lowered his head and wrote quickly. He didn't know what he was reviewing. He just gave a casual gratitude and disappeared.
However, Chen Jiao did not urge her to stand in front of the desk with her hands and wait quietly. Seeing that the light was too dark, she reached out to cut the burnt wick for Mao Jue.
After tensing for about three minutes, Mao Jue couldn't hold back at first, so he took out a letter from the desk, lowered his head and handed it to Chen Jiao.
"This letter was sent to the great master Chen, just say, you gave it to him..."
Mao Jue was indeed a little embarrassed, and then he tried to express his expression to Chen Jiao, but he had to use her when he looked back. However, when he was looking for the Toyotomi family, he needed the censor's mouthpiece to exert force the most. Now the Mao family can exert force in the capital, which seems to be the only censor.
However, the last time he had a quarrel with Chen Zanzhong was more than just a stalemate. Even if the old guy was threatened by the old thing, he would have no effort to do something for him. Mao Jue could only stare at him and say nothing.
At this time, I had to play the family card and pass it through Chen Jiao's hands.
Besides, the granddaughter's letter to his grandfather was not suspicious.
"I know."
"you understand?"
"I understand, does the master have any other things to give?"
He raised his head and stared at him with a little surprise, and watched Chen Jiao take the letter in his hand and answered calmly, which made him stunned. Then Mao Jue shook his head again.
"there is none left."
"Then I will leave."
Holding the letter, Chen Jiao went out casually again, but she turned around and looked at Mao Jue, looking at her back in a daze, with a hint of smile slightly curled up at the corner of her mouth.
"Why are you so kind?"
I don’t know who said he was polite. After sending her away, Mao Jue knocked his head hard and temporarily knocked this trouble out of his head. He stood up from the desk. He ran to the bookshelf and pressed it again, and a buzzing sound, the bookshelf slowly opened like the mechanism in the movie.
He opened the iron cabinet inside and took out a box of mirrors.
Rare things are precious. Mao Jue now exports a lot of bulk commodities, and Western mirrors are even more expensive than his. There is no need to sell the Beiyang Mirror to the streets. Now I want to say that this rare treasure is bribed Wen Tiren. Beiyang Mirror is a good gatekeeper.
However, just as Mao Jue was picking up the mirror, there were rapid footsteps outside.
"Master General! Come to report to Xianzhou!"
