A secret guard rushed over, holding a letter and reporting: "Your Majesty, Madam, this is the report of Mr. Zhang, the Governor of Southwest China."
Yan Ji went over to pick up the letter and drove away the guards. Returning to Yang Peng, he looked at the cover and said, "It's just an orange cover. It seems like it's just a general report." Yang Peng said, "Read it."
Yan Ji opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read: "Your Majesty Zhang Xiaochun is in Dali, I pay my respects." She smiled and said: "This Zhang Xiaochun is still the same." Yang Peng said with a smile: "I learned bad things in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. I'm afraid I can't change it in this life!" Yan Ji smiled and continued reading: "I feel it is necessary to report to Your Majesty the recent situation in Dali in detail." Then Zhang Xiaochun described the entire incident in detail in the letter Come here, how Duan Zhichun sent people to sneak into the general's mansion, forged letters to frame him, how loyal the general was to the country, and would rather die unjustly than betray his majesty, and how the general later deliberately seduced the enemy according to your majesty's instructions. , exposing all the enemies, and finally catching them all, etc. The plot has been mentioned.
Although Yang Peng knew Shi Liancheng's character very well, he couldn't help being moved when he heard the letter detailing how Shi Liancheng would rather die unjustly than betray him in the slightest. I just feel that it is very gratifying to have such a brother.
Yan Ji suddenly exclaimed: "Such a thing happened!"
Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Ji said: "Zhang Xiaochun said in his letter that Liu Yan and Zhao Xiang'er actually sneaked into the military camp to assassinate their uncle!..."
Yang Peng was taken aback and asked anxiously: "How is the situation? Liancheng is not injured, right? Are Liu Yan and Xiang'er okay?"
Yan Ji smiled and said: "Husband, don't worry. They are all fine. Although my uncle was injured, it was not serious. When he was injured, he was worried that his subordinates would hurt Liu Yan and Xiang'er, so he strictly ordered the army not to hurt them. Therefore, the two of them were not injured at all!"
Yang Peng breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Fortunately everything is fine!" Then he frowned and said: "Why did Liu Yan and Xiang'er go to assassinate Liancheng?"
Yan Ji shook her head and said: "The letter didn't say anything. But I guess it was Liu Yan and Xiang'er who saw the tense situation and decided to assassinate their uncle! They probably thought Liancheng was the culprit, and as long as they killed him, everything would be over. That’s it!”
Yang Peng said angrily: "What a nonsense! It almost led to a tragedy! Even if someone really rebels, they shouldn't rush to assassinate them! Aren't they afraid of death?"
Yan Ji glanced at her lover, sighed, and said leisurely: "They are willing to sacrifice everything for their husbands!" Yang Peng was shocked and frowned slightly.
Yan Ji asked angrily: "Husband, don't you know what the four of them think of you?"
Yang Peng nodded, "I'm not a stupid person, so I naturally know."
Yan Ji frowned, "Then why did the husband never have any intention of accepting them into the harem? Is it because he dislikes their low background? But the birth of the concubines is the same as them!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Am I that kind of person to your husband?" Then he sighed and said: "I already have so many wives and concubines, if I keep them anymore, it will not be good for you, nor will it be good for them! "
Yan Ji laughed and said: "So your husband is worried about this! What is there to worry about? For all of us, as long as our husband is happy, we will be happy; if our husband is unhappy, how can we wives? It’s not a huge dereliction of duty! If the husband reluctantly refuses to accept them, it will only make people think that we wives are jealous wives, and Liu Yan and the others will inevitably spend the rest of their lives in sadness. This is not good for anyone! "
Yang Peng blinked in surprise. This was the first time he heard such talk. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is the first time I've heard of such strange talk!"
Yan Ji rolled her eyes at her lover and said, "Or my husband doesn't like them at all!"
Yang Peng shook his head subconsciously, "How could it be? Each of the four of them is cute in its own way, and they are so loyal to me!" Then he frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter!" When he saw Yan Ji, he still wanted to say something. What? He waved his hand and said, "Just spare me. Let's talk about this later." Yan Ji heard her husband say this and said nothing more. However, a pair of beautiful eyes turned around, not knowing that Yang What the hell is Peng, this smart, beautiful and slightly evil wife thinking about.
Yang Peng said: "I plan to return to the Central Plains by boat tomorrow."
Yan Ji felt a little surprised and asked: "Husband, don't you plan to continue attacking the Japanese country?"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "The basic strategic goals set before the war have been completed, and the focus of our strategy is not on the Japanese, so we should withdraw. Besides, I think there is a better way to deal with the Japanese, which is what I told you last night Passed."
Yan Ji remembered what they had said on the bed last night, and couldn't help but smile. She rolled her eyes at her lover and said, "Husband, you are so treacherous!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "This is called a miraculous calculation and a profound wisdom. How's the sea?" Yan Ji chuckled, "Beautiful!" Yang Peng was furious. He slid his palm down from Yan Ji's waist, pressed it on the plump buttocks, and slapped her with a snap. . Their hearts trembled at the same time, and their eyes met with lingering love. Yan Ji kissed Yang Peng's lips fiercely. Yang Peng felt as if there was a burst of flames shooting out of his chest. He roared, picked up Yan Ji and walked towards the bedroom.
His eyes turned to Kyoto.
Nozomi Saga finally found her father, Master Saga, in the densely populated, chaotic and noisy Kyoto. The father and daughter reunited after the disaster, and they were naturally excited.
At dinner that day, Nozomi Saga put on a brand new uniform and came to have dinner with her father. Master Saga chuckled and said, "My daughter is really like the bright moon in the sky, so beautiful!"
Saga Nozomi thought of Kimura Sai, looked depressed, and sighed. Seeing this, Master Saga thought that Nozomi Saga was still worried about the escape, so he comforted him: "Don't think about those unhappy things anymore! You are completely safe now! Not only that, but my father can also let him You continue to live the life of a famous noble lady!"
Saga Nozomi frowned and said, "Father, is it really safe to stay in Kyoto?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about this!" Saga Xiyou frowned and shook his head: "My father has never been in contact with the Ming Army, so he doesn't know how powerful they are!"
Master Saga was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Have you seen the Ming army?" Saga Xiyou said: "To be precise, I was captured by them. Not only that, I also met the Ming Emperor!" Master Saga's expression changed drastically, and he asked urgently: "They, are they, are they treating you..."
Saga Nozomi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what her father meant. Her pretty face suddenly flushed, and she quickly shook her head and said: "No!" Then she showed a look of memory and said: "Father, the Ming Emperor is the real He is a hero, not only him, but also the soldiers under his command! They will neither kill the old, weak, women and children, nor insult the captured women! She met me and told me that my father was in Kyoto and released me. ! The daimyo and their families who came with me on the same boat were not who they claimed they were at all. They robbed a sea ship and escaped. We were all released by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! In the eyes of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, we people Not worth mentioning at all!”
Master Saga frowned and said solemnly: "You must not say these words outside! Otherwise, you will be executed as a Ming spy!" Saga Xiyu couldn't help but mocked: "The Ming people protected me from Those untouchables are insulting me, but my compatriots want to kill me?"
Master Saga waved his hand, "You can't say that! Now that the Ming Dynasty has occupied Kyushu, our army's new tactics have been defeated. Under this situation, everyone is very nervous. Naturally, no one can tolerate even speaking for the Ming Dynasty. You must remember this, otherwise not only will your own life be in danger, but our entire family will also be implicated!"
Saga Xiyou sighed, and a thought suddenly came to her mind, and she said to her father: "Father, I wonder if we can go to Daming!"
Master Saga was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Saga Xiyou said: "The Ming Dynasty can be said to be our motherland. Aren't we all descendants of Xu Fu's eastward journey? Now that the motherland is so powerful, why can't we return to the motherland?" Master Saga showed a thoughtful look. This matter He had never thought about it before, but after listening to his daughter's words, he couldn't help but feel that it could be like this. If you become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you will naturally no longer have to worry, and you will also receive unprecedented glory! Even the people of Ming Dynasty are much more glorious than the name of Japan!
Master Saga frowned, "Your suggestion is not impossible, but now there is a dilemma. How should we go to the Ming Dynasty? We can't go alone, otherwise even if we get to the Central Plains, we can only do the lowest level. civilians! We must bring our huge property there! But if we do this, there is no guarantee that the news will leak out. Once the news leaks out, the troops and famous names who have been frightened by the Ming army will tear us apart!"
Saga Xiyou frowned, feeling that this was indeed a difficulty.
Master Saga sighed and said: "It is not easy to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. If not, our family will be destroyed! Don't think so wildly!" Then he thought of Kimurasai and smiled: "I I heard that Kimura Sai is also here. I want to find a time to talk to his elders about your marriage." Saga Nozomi shook his head angrily: "No! No! I don't want to marry him!"
Master Saga was very puzzled: "Don't you always like him?" Saga Xiyou said nothing. Master Saga thought it was just a minor quarrel between lovers, and said with a smile: "Don't be quarrelsome. If the Han people hadn't invaded, your marriage would have been arranged long ago!"
Saga Nozomi couldn't help but feel shy, and her face turned red, as beautiful as a cherry blossom. Master Saga chuckled, "When you get married, we and the Kimura family will become one family. Then we can be on par with the local daimyo in Kyoto." Nozomi Saga did not dare to look at his father, thinking of having to marry him. Kimura-kun is getting married, and his heart is pounding.
Master Saga suddenly remembered something and asked: "Have you met the Ming Emperor? What kind of person do you think he is?" Saga Xiyou showed a look of reminiscence, frowned slightly and said: "He He is a hero who makes people feel like a bright sun! He does not make people nervous, but makes people feel the urge to surrender!"
Master Saga nodded and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince also has such a temperament." Saga Nozomi wanted to say something more, but in the end he did not say it.
Yang Peng and Yan Ji took a large ship to leave Kumamoto and return to the Central Plains. Wang Rong personally led a fleet of warships to accompany them for protection. The affairs of the Japanese country have come to an end. Yang Peng appointed Liu Zhiliang as the general manager of the Japanese March, in charge of military tasks in the direction of Japan, and organized local military offices in Kyushu to enhance local defense capabilities. He will also march from Shandong to Jiangnan East Half of the troops on daily duty on the front line were transferred to Kyushu for garrison; regarding the local government affairs of Kyushu, Yang Peng appointed Wang Anzhong as the governor of Japan to take charge of Japanese government affairs. At the same time, he ordered the cabinet to transfer 300 students who understand Japanese customs to serve in the local governments of Kyushu.
Wang Anzhong will be familiar to friends who have read the previous article. He was a colleague of Yang Peng when he was still an official in Zhao Song. He had a good relationship with Yang Peng. After the Zhao family collapsed, he joined Yang Peng and became the deputy governor of Ningxia. Although he made no achievements when he was an official in Zhao and Song Dynasties, he made great achievements when he was the deputy governor of Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty and had outstanding political achievements. Therefore, Yang Peng finally chose him when considering the candidate for the governor of Japan. However, Wang Anzhong's ability and political achievements were not the main reason why Yang Peng chose him. There were many similar officials under Yang Peng. If it were based on seniority, it would not be Wang Anzhong's turn. The main reason why Yang Peng chose him was because of one of Wang Anzhong's The concubine was a Japanese who came to settle in the Central Plains for three generations. Therefore, Wang Anzhong knew much about Japan than other high-ranking officials, and because of the concubine, he would not underestimate the Japanese too much. Therefore, he was the most suitable candidate to be the governor of Japan.
In addition to military and internal affairs, Yang Peng also asked Hua Xuzuo to lead Hailong to be responsible for the intelligence work of the entire Japan, and transferred all the main Hua Xu forces originally distributed on the eastern coast to Japan. In addition, Yang Peng also planned to use the power of religion to completely transform the Japanese, so he ordered Hu You, a deacon of Mingjiao, to teach in Japan and come to Japan to preside over academic affairs. After this series of things were arranged, Yang Peng and Yan Ji left Kumamoto and returned to the Central Plains.
The fleet sailed along the route to the Central Plains. Yang Peng stood on the deck and looked out. He saw the sea and the sky connecting, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
There were footsteps behind him, and Yan Ji came to Yang Peng's side. Yang Peng turned to look at Yan Ji and saw that the sea breeze was blowing her green hair. In the blue sea and blue sky, she seemed like a fairy from an overseas fairyland. Yang Peng couldn't help but be moved and praised: "So beautiful!" Yan Ji Yanran As he smiled, romantic feelings arose in his heart, and he said: "Husband, at this moment, do we look like a couple of gods and goddesses living in seclusion in the fairy mountains overseas?"
Yang Peng shook his head and said, "It's not like that." Yan Ji was very bored and rolled her eyes at her lover. Yang Peng held Yan Ji's delicate hand and said with a smile: "I am like a mortal man who goes to overseas fairy mountains to find his lover, and you are an overseas fairy who misses his lover and is willing to be banished to the mortal world! I can say that I have returned home with a full load. I stole it back I have become a fairy!" Yan Ji was greatly moved and couldn't help but lean into her lover's arms. She said tenderly: "That's great! I don't care at all about becoming a fairy, as long as I can stay with my husband forever, even though The mortal world is limited, and I am willing to fall into reincarnation in the end!" He raised his head and looked at his lover with infinite affection, "I just hope to meet my husband again in the next life!" Yang Peng felt infinite love welling up in his heart, and he bent down and kissed Yan Ji's red lips.
When the guards saw this, they quickly rushed everyone to the back.
The passionate kiss seemed to last only a moment, but also seemed to last for a century. Yang Peng let go of Yan Ji's red lips, and their eyes met, entangled with tenderness, and all the tenderness was unspoken.
"There's a big fish!" came a shout from the boat next to him. The two looked at each other and smiled, then followed the sound and saw a lookout soldier on the warship next to him pointing to the sea on the left and shouting. The two of them looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough they saw an extremely huge fish swinging its tail fin high into the air, causing water to fill the sky. Yan Ji couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a look of wonder on her face. Yang Peng hugged Yan Ji and smiled and said: "This is a whale, the largest animal in the sea!" As he spoke, a water column rose high from where the whale was, reflecting the blue sea and sky, which was very magical and beautiful. Yan Ji was like a happy girl, hugging her lover's arm and jumping up, shouting: "Look, look, it's squirting!"
Yang Peng chuckled and said: "Yes, yes, it saw the goddess, just like a puppy seeing its master, wagging its tail and acting coquettishly!" Yan Ji smiled sweetly.
Moments later, the whale dived into the water and was no longer visible. Yan Ji exclaimed: "I have never seen such a big fish before. The tail fin alone is as big as a small boat. I really don't know how big its whole body is!" Yang Peng said: "There are several types of whales. The largest It's called the Blue Whale, and it's probably about the same size as our ballista warship." Yan Ji opened her eyes wide, looking extremely amazed, and then looked at her lover with admiration, and said: "My husband knows so much, and you can't even do this We all know about all kinds of strange creatures overseas." Yang Peng chuckled, "Of course your husband knows a lot, otherwise he is your husband!" Yan Ji smiled sweetly, couldn't help but hugged her lover's arm tightly, and leaned Zhen's head against her. On the lover's shoulder.
In the evening, a small boat approached, and then Wang Rong led a few men to Yang Peng's boat with freshly caught fish. Seeing Yang Peng and bowing, Wang Rong pointed to the fresh fish in the hands of his men and said: "This is what I caught just now. This kind of fish is one of the most delicious sea fish. I will bring it to your majesty and empress to taste." Try something new.”
Yang Peng looked at the two-meter-long ocean fish held by the sailors and weighed several hundred kilograms in their hands. He nodded and said, "This is bluefin tuna. It is indeed one of the best ocean fish." Wang Rong was stunned, she thought He said it was called a giant bonito, but then he thought, since His Majesty called it bluefin tuna, then it is bluefin tuna. It is also lucky for this fish to be named by His Majesty.
Yan Ji looked at the two big fish in front of her curiously and couldn't help but said: "The fish produced in the sea are indeed far from the fish in the rivers and lakes! The fish we used to eat were considered big if they had fins as big as these. It’s over!”
Wang Rong smiled and said: "Actually, these two fish are not the biggest, this kind of fish can grow even bigger!" Yan Ji smiled.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Tonight we can enjoy a tuna feast!" Then he clapped his hands and said to the two women: "You are in for a treat. Today I will let you try my cooking." Both women's eyes lit up. Both women knew that Yang Peng was good at cooking, but only a few concubines such as Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui had ever had such a good meal. The two women had heard about it a long time ago, but they had never received such treatment. They did not expect the surprise today. Suddenly fell from the sky!
Yang Peng said to the sailors: "Send these two fish to the back and wait for me to deal with them." The sailors agreed and immediately carried the two bluefin tuna to the back. Yang Peng rolled up his sleeves and asked the two women with a smile: "Do you want to come and help?" Of course the two women wanted to go.
The three people came to the back and saw that the sailors and cooks had prepared everything. Two bluefin tuna were placed on a wooden table, and everyone stood upright in the kitchen.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Relax! Looking at you like this makes me nervous!" Everyone smiled, but they did not dare to really relax in front of the emperor. They still stood upright, waiting for His Majesty's instructions.
Yang Peng ignored them, picked up a sharp knife, pressed the bellies of the two fishes with his left hand, and felt a bulging sensation from his fingers. He turned back and smiled at Wang Rong: "These two fish you chose Yes, they are all female fish!" Then the sharp knife pierced the belly of a bluefin tuna and sliced it open. Wang Rong immediately brought a large plate and placed it under the belly of the fish. Yang Peng raised his knife, and the fish's belly immediately opened, and a large amount of roe poured out of the fish's belly and flowed into the plate. Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Tuna roe is one of the best roes and a great delicacy in the world!"
Wang Rong walked aside holding the roe, and Yang Peng shouted to the cook next to him: "Move this fish first." Upon hearing this, several cooks rushed up and moved the tuna with the roe away. Chen Xiao began to dig the belly of another fish. This time, Yan Ji came over with a big plate to collect the roe.
After Yang Peng finished releasing the roe, he began to decompose the big fish. Different parts of the fish have different flavors and different ways of eating them. A chef who really knows how to cook will break down the different parts of the fish and cook them in different ways. Everyone saw a sharp knife flying up and down in Chen Xiao's hand. In the flickering light of the knife, they saw different parts of the fish being decomposed. Everyone was amazed, their eyes widened and their mouths opened, as if they had seen the most incredible thing. Although everyone has heard that Yang Peng has extraordinary cooking skills, no one has actually seen it, and they all think it is just an untrue legend. However, now that I see this scene, I know that the legend is true!
Wang Rong looked at the big fish that quickly decomposed in Yang Peng's hands, and couldn't help but secretly thought: Fortunately, I didn't show my shame, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
