Based on the prince's strength and cruelty, he probably won't stop until he squeezes out one million taels of silver. When the time comes, whoever pays less will definitely go down to see the King of Hell, and you won’t even have time to cry.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!"
Dongchang Admiral Eunuch Fang Zhenghua looked solemn, as if he had something on his mind. After seeing the prince finish his instructions, he stepped forward to ask for instructions. After saying that, he looked at the people around him, as if he was worried that they might hear him.
"You guys are waiting twenty steps away!" Yao Ji saw the hesitation in the governor's face. Maybe he really had something important to report, so he asked the left and right to retreat further, and then listened attentively: "Speak!"
Even so, Fang Zhenghua still lowered his voice, trying his best to let only the prince hear the whole story.
"Well! Have you mentioned this to anyone else?"
Yaoji was quite surprised after hearing this, but he still took a deep breath to calm down and not let his followers in the distance see his surprise.
"This matter is of great importance. I dare not leak it. I also order the relevant people to keep their mouths shut. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
Fang Zhenghua hurriedly knelt down and saluted, vowing that this matter could not be spread, otherwise it would cause trouble that would be difficult to clean up.
"That's good. Tell the participants in Dongchang to pretend that nothing has happened. You must not make mistakes at any time. I will make a decision on my own!"
In Yaoji's heart, more than 10,000 wild grass beasts were rushing past, rolling up smoke and dust that would not dissipate for a long time.
What this "Eastern Failure" reported was that the residence of Marquis Yangwu was raided and besieged with weapons by his servants. This matter has already been concluded, but if the truth is known, there is really something worth reporting afterwards.
Because the first batch of eleven people who died in the battle were all vassals of Dongchang, Dongchang had 25 people killed this time, and nearly half died!
The reason why the losses were so heavy was, on the one hand, that there were too many gangsters inside, and because of the large number of people on our side, there was no fear at all.
On the other hand, the Jin Yiwei who went with them watched the excitement outside. When the two sides started fighting, they refused to save them and stopped to watch from a distance.
Counting the second batch of additional troops sent to attack the Yangwu Marquis's residence twice, only twenty people were killed in total, and Dongchang accounted for eighteen of them. Only two members of the Jinyi Guards died and were only injured. Just thirteen.
Fang Zhenghua suppressed the report because he was worried that Luo Yangxing would not be able to come to power at the court meeting. If the prince wanted to punish the cowards of Jin Yiwei at the court meeting, it might cause trouble in the future. Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, it was better to wait until he retired from the court before reporting.
Yaoji didn't say anything, but he had already greeted Luo Yangxing's biological mother, wife, concubine, and various sweethearts twice in his heart...
If the Jinyiwei, who were inferior to livestock, had not cowered forward, how could Dongchang have so many casualties and casualties. Fang Zhenghua was also furious about this, but Luo Yang was in a high and powerful position, so the prince's order was needed to deal with this guy.
The on-site commander was a close confidant of Luo Yangxing, otherwise he would not have been so bold. He watched the people in Dongchang fall into a deadly battle, but he led them to talk and laugh, which was like sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.
Fang Zhenghua understood that if the prince dealt with this thing in public, it would definitely arouse Luo Yangxing's dissatisfaction and lead to suspicion among the emperor and his ministers. If the Jin Yiwei became bigger, it would directly put the prince in danger.
I'm afraid that Luo Yangxing's military power can no longer be reduced with just an imperial edict. Luo Yangxing has been operating in Jinyiwei for many years and has a wide network of contacts and many relatives. If it is detrimental to him, he is afraid that it will cause incitement among his subordinates.
Yao Ji stood there blankly, regretting greatly in his heart. If he had reported his "failure in the East" earlier, he might have been able to "keep" Luo Yangxing permanently. He was probably out of the palace by now.
If you pursue him forcefully, you might even scare the snake and force him to jump over the wall. Going to court tomorrow may be an opportunity, but if you can't catch all the comrades raised by this dog food, there will inevitably be a resurgence.
"You must do this..."
For now, the only solution is to come up with a preemptive "Modine Plan".
It was still early in the morning, and Yao Ji originally planned to meet with the meritorious officials who participated in the annihilation of the armed gang Yang Wuhou. However, considering Fang Zhenghua's small report, in order to avoid intensifying the conflict between the two parties, he decided to give up and settle the matter.
After having a "long talk" with the "cute and cute" courtiers for most of the day, the air in the palace was not very circulated, so I felt a little sleepy, so I decided to take a break and go to Meishan Mountain to have a distant view.
Under the protection of a large number of Neichang and Dongchang sects, it was only a hundred meters out of the palace, so there must not be much danger. Even if I temporarily act immoral for a few days just to make money, I won't be attacked, right?
Meishan is the Jingshan of later generations. At this time, it is lush and lush, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. As a royal garden just a stone's throw away from the Forbidden City, although the place is a bit small, it can be regarded as a slightly unique place compared to the fake rockery in the palace. Attractions.
"Long Live Mountain?"
Yao Ji was at the foot of the mountain before he could go up when he saw a stone the size of a freezer with three dou-sized words on it and painted with red paint. It was very dazzling, especially the name of a prodigal.
"Where's Jinchao?"
"The slave is here!"
Yang Jinchao, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, didn't know why, but he had to hurry up and wait.
"This name is inappropriate. If a servant climbs a mountain, shouldn't he trample 'Long Live' under his feet? Immediately send people to remove the stone and replace it with another stone. On it, write Hongshan. Hong is the word "Hong" for good luck, which means good luck is coming. Let... uh... Ni Yuanlu write first, and then the stonemason will chisel along the edge of the writing. The stone chosen is larger than this one, and the material does not need to be too particular. It is the same as the stone lion. It can be done within three days. That’s it! By the way, I want to give Ni Yuanlu a reward of one hundred taels of silver!"
The common name of Meishan is even more tragic. Coal sounds like mold. As a super-platinum native who is the second generation of local officials and rich people, Yaoji is particularly taboo about the names of his important items being homophonic with bad words. Once upon a time, this is where the dumper died. Yes, I must not follow in his footsteps.
I can’t move this mountain, so I can change its name, right?
Otherwise, how could I feel better if I saw the so-called "Mei Mountain" as soon as I went out?
I originally wanted to change it to Jingshan, but then I thought, maybe it means "sitting in a well (view) and looking at the sky". I can't be a frog in the well, so it is more appropriate to change it to Hongshan.
Ni Yuanlu, together with Wang Duo, Fu Shan, Huang Daozhou and Zhang Ruitu, is known as one of the "Five Great Masters of the Late Ming Dynasty". It is said that his handwriting is amazing and full of meaning. This is a good opportunity to see his writing power. No matter what, don't write it like a doctor's diagnosis.
If this guy is proud of himself and doesn't accept his own fault, then let Zhang Ruitu come over and give it a try.
If it still doesn't work, then I'll just do it myself.
With a stroke of the pen, write Mountain-TOP!
"Your Highness's words make sense. I obey your orders. Now send someone to move this stone away!"
Yang Jinchao immediately ordered his men, no matter how strong they were, to get rid of this unsightly stone first.
If the stone is still stuck in place when the prince comes down the mountain, then he will be scolded by his highness.
After receiving the order, a group of young eunuchs immediately started working with their arms rolled up and their sleeves rolled up.
After Yaoji finished speaking, he didn't want to be a sedan chair, but walked up slowly by himself, enjoying the green scenery on both sides.
However, they were still shouting and crowding, and there were hundreds of people nearby, especially the vassals of Neichang and Dongchang, almost every step of the way.
As the height of the climb gradually increases, when you turn around and look around, you can have a panoramic view of the majestic Forbidden City. The palaces of different sizes are scattered from near to far. As the ruling center of the empire, you can clearly see on Hongshan Mountain that this majestic and noble imperial city has a neat layout, clear priorities, reasonable hierarchy and order, showing the extraordinary style of the supremacy of imperial power. It is a collection of Chinese architecture. The pinnacle of art and design skills.
More importantly, this place may become Brother Li's express headquarters in five years...
For Yao Ji, leaving home is no big deal. The scenery in Australia may be better, and the probability of success in making money and running away is very high.
How wonderful it would be to enjoy the retirement life that started as a teenager in a pleasant place with no braids, no gangsters, and no quarrels!
This temptation is really irresistible!
But as the prince of a country, how can he bear to see the people being ravaged by iron hoofs?
How can we bear to see Chinese civilization destroyed in one fell swoop?
How can I bear the thought that I can't play with Yangzhou's thin horse and plump beautiful woman?
It's a pity, it's sad, it's deplorable!
No matter who comes to occupy the Forbidden City in the future, he will be arrogant and unreasonable. He will not buy tickets or pay rent, and will abuse me like a little teapot. He may even be punished. This is something I will never tolerate or accept. of!
For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty, for the five thousand years of civilization, and for the beautiful girls who have thrown themselves into his arms, I have officially decided to fight to the death with many hostile forces. That’s it. This is a good enough reason!
"Bring me my telescope!"
Even if he is standing on the top of the mountain with no buildings blocking him, Yaoji still needs to use auxiliary tools to look at the surrounding area. After all, he does not have eagle eyes, so he cannot scan ten miles at a glance.
"..."
Yang Jinchao had some difficulty understanding this unfamiliar term, and was stunned for two seconds at a loss.
"Telescope! Do you understand?"
Yaoji had no choice but to change synonyms. In this era, the reputation of telescope was more popular.
The official name at this time was the Peeping Mirror, which sounds like it was used for peeping...
"Your Highness, calm down, I understand!"
Yang Jinchao turned around and whispered a few words to the followers behind him, and immediately a young eunuch brought over what the prince needed.
Yaoji took it and looked at it carefully. The body tube was wrapped in a full metal shell. It felt very heavy in the hand. When not stretched, the body length was less than one foot. Judging from the metal color, its material should be copper. Adults can pull the sleeve open without much force. As a child, of course, it will be a little difficult to use it.
