: Cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron

Liu Daxia sent several close friends out of the gate in a light robe. He was about to rush back to the room, but before he could reach the central hall, he shouted loudly from behind: "The imperial edict has arrived, and the Minister of War Liu Daxia received the edict!"

Liu Daxia turned around in surprise and saw four lieutenants surrounded by a big man with a tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, bearded and bearded, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and rushed into the military gate with a high spirit. Liu Daxia didn't know that the court meeting had just stopped. He did not send it to him if the emperor had any orders. He hurriedly took a few steps, and knelt down on the ground with his robe and said respectfully: "My minister Liu Daxia received the order."

Liu Dabangcui stared at the old man of his family, coughed, and opened the imperial edict seriously, saying: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: Liu Aiqing, I heard that the Ming sea map was moved from Jinling to the capital in the past and was lent to the Ministry of War. I want to know something about the sea area of ​​our Ming Dynasty, so I will take Liu Guard to take it and tell my beloved and the officials of the Yousiya Office to Zhou Zhi."

He is illiterate, but he remembers a person with extraordinary sages. He only needs to listen to someone recite it once and remember it word by word in his heart.

Liu Daxia was shocked when he heard this, and then calmed down and said, "The reply was the only one. Zheng He's chart has been left for many years and there is nowhere to look for it."

Liu Dabangcui smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, the emperor has guessed that several charts must be difficult to find. sir, sir, I am busy with official business, and I believe I have no intention of helping find this thing. You won't worry about this matter. Here comes the warehouse of the Ministry of War, the military election, the chariot, the rank of the Four Clean Offices of the Armamentary Department, take over and investigate it from now on. If you don't find Zheng He's chart, you will live here tonight."

As soon as Liu Dabangcui finished speaking, the Jinyiwei who rushed into the brigade from outside the gate of the Ministry of War, led by four thousand households, was about to break in. Seeing this, Liu Daxia was furious and rose up and shouted angrily: "Who dares? The important land of the Ministry of War. How can the army and horse center of the world allow you to be so presumptuous?"

Liu Dabangcui laughed and raised the imperial edict in his hand and said, "Mr. Shangshu has exceeded the ceremony. You have not received this imperial edict yet. We are not bandits and bandits trespassing the Ministry of War. We have followed the imperial edict to find Zheng He's naval chart. The emperor understands that you don't have the time to help investigate. This... I brought people here myself."

Liu Daxia held back his anger and said, "Today's court meeting, the emperor has already said that the lifting of the sea ban is not the Japanese country, so let's discuss it for the time being. Why did he suddenly want to find a chart? I immediately entered the palace... and went to the leopard room to meet the emperor. People come, guard the Ministry of War, and no one is allowed to enter without permission!"

A team of officers and soldiers rushed out and stood in front of the gate of the central hall. However, the Ministry of War was a permanent yamen for the six departments of the capital. There were not many soldiers stationed, and the number of people was far less than that of Liu Dabangcui. Moreover, the other party was a royal prisoner. These soldiers were a little timid and their momentum became a little weaker.

Liu Dabangcui said sternly: "The emperor is rich in all over the world. What's wrong with seeing the sea charts of his own territory? Lord Liu doesn't know that the King of the Japanese Kingdom has sent a special envoy to Beijing to see him. The emperor wants to see the sea charts for the sake of knowing it. This imperial envoy even beats the horse legs of the three great scholars, and is he afraid that you, the soldiers in the military department, will stop you? Let me go!"

Liu Daxia suddenly realized when he heard this: he had fallen into a trap! It turned out that Yang Ling had been planning in the court for a long time, and such fierce court discussions were simply a cover, just to introduce himself and others into the trap. The "Tribute Ancestor System" was the fatal blow they were sure of!

Liu Daxia's grief and angry white beards were floating, and the situation was gone. He and others swore in the court that as long as the Japanese country sent envoys to worship, they agreed to lift the ban on trade and open the world to accommodate all countries. What else do you have to say now?

Liu Daxia tightened his fists, thinking that there must be large merchant ships and powerful navy in the world when he lifted the ban and opened up trade. Since the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, there have been countless craftsmen who can build large ships. If the sea chart is destroyed and there is still the last glimmer of hope to stop the emperor, his attitude immediately became harder.

He glanced at Liu Dabangchui with contempt. He threw his long beard and stood in front of the door with his plain robe and cloth shoes, his hair was as majestic as silver as silver as a god. He laughed and said, "Let the sea and trade, it will harm the country and the people. I am here, who dares to enter?"

Liu Dabangcui heard Yang Ling say it for a long time before he finally came in handy. He immediately shouted: "Fart! The emperor said in person that the Ming Dynasty's sea area is also the country of the Ming Dynasty! The Ming soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory, and the sea are also responsible! As the Minister of War, you blindly advocate the ban on the sea, which has caused the Ming Dynasty to lose its power to the sea from then on and shrink onto the land.

The little pirate actually made you, an old general in war, fear it like a tiger. He is really a strong man on the outside and the middle. The opportunity for the Ming Empire to show his power all over the world will be shattered. In another hundred years, my Ming craftsmen can't even build ships that can go out to sea for several miles. You are a sinner for eternity! You are still self-righteous and pleaded for the people, and you are extremely ignorant! A white iron casting of a treacherous statue in front of Yue Wumu's monument will take thousands of years. I think it's not an exaggeration to cast a statue of Liu Dashu in front of the Three Treasures eunuchs!"

Liu Daxia was so angry that his face was covered with blood. He was the dignified Minister of War. Even Emperor Hongzhi would call him politely when he saw him. Now he was scolded by a small Jinyi Captain, and even compared him to Qin Hui, a treacherous minister for all ages. It was a very shameful and humiliating.

Liu Daxia roared, took a step forward suddenly, pointed his halberd and shouted fiercely, "You are so brave, you dare to insult me ​​like this, you...you...you..."

Liu Dabangcui saw his eyes wide open, his beard and hair exploded, and he was a little scared, and he quickly shouted: "See the sages and look for Zheng He's chart. Liu Shangshu disobeyed the imperial edict and came forward to stop him and take him aside!"

At that moment, the two schools stepped forward and came to take Liu Daxia. Liu Daxia was so skillful that he was willing to be controlled by them. Today, he was so sad that he insisted on resisting the imperial edict. Unexpectedly, when he struggled with his arms, one of the school's beautiful and beautiful arms became as tough as a snake, avoiding his strength and tangling it. He pointed at the numb tendons on his upper arm without any trace, and one arm suddenly lost its strength.

Liu Daxia is skilled in archery and horse racing, but the short-term skills of the people in the martial arts world are not good at all. This person is really skillful. In the eyes of others, he does not realize any abnormality at all. It seems that Liu Daxia stretches his arms and takes the initiative to tie him up.

The school did the same thing, and the other arm was no longer strong. When his arms were sore and numb, his hands were tightly held back by the school and he was extremely moved.

Liu Daxia had received such treatment, and was despaired for a moment. He only felt loyal to the Ming court for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, the emperor had a minister for a while, and the bones of the former emperor were not cold, the new emperor would treat himself like this. Ask this reckless lieutenant. If he had no oral instructions on Zhengde, how could he dare to treat himself like this?

Shangshu Liu burst into tears and cried in a daze, "Forget it, let go, I will go to see the emperor immediately and return home!"

Liu Dabangcui was proud and glanced at Wu Hanchao who was dressed as a small school. He shouted: "Come here, dig three feet to search for me!"

Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, was not much better than Liu Daxia. He returned to his mansion and drafted a list to invite the officials in the court to go home to discuss countermeasures. Then he sat down and wrote a letter to Han Wen, explaining in detail what happened in Beijing in detail. He asked him to put aside the transactions between the northern borders for the time being and return to Beijing immediately.

He added a fire lacquer to the secret letter. Before anyone could send it, the emperor's imperial edict arrived. The imperial edict said that the special envoy of Japan came to pay a visit. The emperor issued an edict to the Honglu Temple to compare with the tribute ceremony of the unsuccessful countries such as Annan, Goryeo, and Java. At the same time, the emperor had decided to open the maritime ban and jointly set up an ambassador to discuss with the envoys, and mentioned a list of internal and external officials to ask Ma Wensheng to be relocated to serve as an envoy.

Ma Wensheng only heard that the Japanese envoy came to Daming for a visit and knew that something was wrong. The things he was worried about finally happened. Looking at the list of officials listed in the imperial edict, they all joined Jiao Fang's faction and agreed to lift the maritime ban during the court discussion today. How could such a group of people not do anything that would be deprived of power and humiliate the country?

Ma Wensheng flatly refused to follow the order to transfer officials, intending to seek justice from the emperor. The eunuch passed the order was sarcastic and sarcastic. Ma Wensheng endured his anger and rushed to the leopard room, but unexpectedly he was turned away and the emperor did not see him at all.

Ma Wensheng was furious and shouted to the Xiaohuangmen who was summoning the message: "Please reply to the emperor. I am the Minister of Personnel. Assessing and promoting officials is the responsibility of the Ministry of Personnel. There is something wrong with the appointment of officials by the Emperor. As the Minister of Personnel, the right to ask the emperor to discuss again. If the emperor thinks that the minister of the empress do not have enough opinions, then what is the use of the minister of the empress dowager? The old minister has been weak and sick in recent years, and has strongly supported himself to work hard for national affairs. If this happens, the emperor will ask the emperor to resign due to illness and return home!"

Seeing that Lord Ma was angry, Xiaohuangmen hurriedly went there. After a while, Shi Shi walked back and said shrillly: "The Emperor said: Lord Ma is old and weak and sick. I feel very sympathetic when I heard this. I have been approved by him. Please go back to the house and wait for the Ministry of Rites to agree to reward him, and then escort him back to his hometown with the post office!"

Ma Wensheng was stunned. He didn't expect that this little emperor would have such courage and do so terrible things. All the old ministers in the court resigned. Who will rely on to protect the country?

When he woke up, the little yellow gate had already turned around and left. There were only eight sabre captains standing there straight at the door of the leopard room, but the eyes that seemed to be squinting clearly had a hint of pity and sympathy, and they couldn't help but pierce into his heart like needles.

Ma Wensheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest. He knew: In the near future, he will stand on the ten-mile pavilion like Liu Jian and Xie Qian, say goodbye to the old friends in the capital, and leave his once mighty court...

Yang Ling half-lying on the chair, closing his eyes slightly, breathing slightly, as if he was asleep.

Yu Jie'er's waist was slim, sitting on the corner of the recliner like a willow branch slanted. A pair of pink and moist fists gently hit him on his thighs. The warm spring light reflected in from the window that opened half a window, shining on Yangling's body. Yu Tangchun's back faced the light, highlighting her flawless beautiful curve, with an indescribable seductive charm.

After the news that the phone, who returned the news, quietly waited for the adult's instructions. After a while, Yang Ling waved his hand gently and said, "I understand, go down."

"Yes!" The leader of the fanzi responded with congratulations, quietly retreated, and took it to the door.

Yutang's spring eyes were full of wavy eyes, and his wonderful eyes turned around. He reached out and took the candied fruit from the porcelain plate on the side of the bed. He picked it up with two green onion fingers and handed it to Yang Ling's lips.

Yang Ling suddenly felt a cold lips, a sweet fragrance filled his nose, and opened his eyes. Yu Tangchun smiled at him, and his soft facial features had a gentle charm, and he smiled unconsciously and said, "Don't mess around, and make trouble for the family law and serve him again. I thought your master was making a move? Alas! In order to prepare for today's court meeting, I didn't sleep all night."

Yu Tangchun said softly: "I know, but I think the master is not only tired, but also a little unhappy." She was wearing a small white slanted silk-patterned jacket with silver edges and silk-colored boots and skirts. A string of crystal-clear pearl necklaces hung between her neck, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Yang Ling smiled softly and pulled it gently, Yu Tangchun's soft and light body leaned on him. Yang Ling closed his eyes and said, "Come on, feed me the candied fruits."

Yutang's cheeks flushed, but he obediently picked up a candied fruit and gently held it with his red lips as bright as cherries. He gently leaned against Yang Ling's lips. Yang Ling sucked the candied fruit and sucked her soft and thin cherry lips. After a tight kiss, he let go of Su San who was gasping for a thin and delicate kiss.

Yang Ling swallowed the fruit candied fruit and sighed: "You are so heartless, you can see my concerns, alas! I am indeed a little unhappy. Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng are both loyal old ministers. They are just doing something wrong, but they think they are doing good things for the country and for the country. Alas, using such means to stimulately and deceive them to return home, I feel a little sad."

Yang Ling gently stroked Yu Tangchun's slender and beautiful thighs, and Yu Tangchun snuggled in his arms, soft and delicate skin under his skirt, touching the warm and cool. The fragrance is indescribable. It seems to be thinner than almond tofu, smooth and smooth. A pleasant feeling is transmitted straight from Yang Ling's fingertips into his heart.

He closed his eyes and felt like sleeping, but in his mind he remembered a conversation between the two in the study the night before Cheng Qiyun returned to Jiangnan:

"They thought that the 'Grand Court' was the final decisive battle we initiated. I was wrong. This was just a 'inducing the enemy into the siege'. The victory was due to their reliance on the last fortress, and the special envoys after the siege paid a visit. Only when this news came, they were defeated.

Despite this, adults should not be careless. They must prevent them from making a comeback and they must completely defeat their strength. Therefore, this last plan is to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. No matter how cunning these old ministers are, they will think that we will transfer the tiger from the mountain and transfer part of their leaders out of the capital to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, but they do not know that our real goal is to retain the capable figures in the capital."

Cheng Qiyun sat down with her skirt, her expression was natural, and she smiled softly, like a little girl who picked flowers and wore a crown, clapped her hands and smiled sweetly. She was inconsistent with her calm and sharp words. The candlelight flashed on her pretty face, with a mysterious and moving beauty: "These officials, who can pull, and those who can press, and those who can not pull or press, let him go home!"

Cheng Qiyun smiled sweetly and said, "The adults have always been soft-hearted, but this time they are extremely soft-hearted. When the people who were transferred out of Beijing returned to Beijing in a hurry, the big thing has been done and the domestic aid has been lost, so they can't play any tricks."
