In November of the eleventh year of Yongle, Yang Fang finally got his wish and sailed to the West with Zheng He. He went to Ciguawa, Manjiala and other countries. He was accompanied by Li Chun, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, Lu Tong, Zhang Tong, a hereditary Jinyiwei. .
It must have been Ji Gang's idea for Li Chun to go to the West. On the one hand, he was asked to follow Zheng He. If the whereabouts of Zhu Yunwen overseas could be obtained, the Jin Yiwei could respond immediately. As for the response strategy, it was natural that he had already been informed; On the other hand, it was also to let Li Chun go gilding outside and avoid the limelight - it seemed that Ji Gang would make big moves soon.
This was Zheng He's fourth voyage to the West. The mission included 868 officials, more than 26,000 soldiers, 93 commanders, two commanders, 140 writers, and 100 scribes. There are four hundred and thirty people in the household, one household doctor, one Yin and Yang officer, one teacher, two housekeepers, one hundred and eighty medical officers and eunuchs, seven eunuchs, five eunuchs, and ten young eunuchs. There are fifty-three internal officials and envoys, including translator Ma Huan, the leader of the Yangshi Street Mosque in Xi'an, Shaanxi, Ha San, and the commanders Tang Jing, Wang Heng, Lin Zixuan, Hu Jun, and Ha Tong.
Lin Linyou originally planned to go along, mainly because he wanted to have a quiet "talk" with Li Chun on the treasure ship, but this guy almost killed him! It took him several days to eat the bastard before he regained his physical body. But Lin Linyou didn't even touch a hair of Li Chun. Isn't that annoying?
But things are not over yet, Ji Gang will make big moves soon, and Lin Linyou can't let go of Lin Long Yuerong.
"You really don't plan to go to the West? Don't you want to bring tobacco seeds back to plant?" Zhang Bi asked Lin Linyou, "If you really plan to go, brother, I can write a letter of recommendation for you."
"Just give the seeds to third brother." Lin Linyou said, "As for me! I still want to stay here and accompany you, eldest brother."
"Hey, who wants you to accompany me?" Zhang Bi seemed to be eager for Lin Lin to swim to the West, so that he would be the only man left in the small courtyard. "I don't know about you yet? You don't want to go to the West because of the treasure on the ship. There’s no woman, right?”
Lin Linyou's face turned red: Otherwise, he would be the eldest brother! A little thought can be seen through by him.
Originally, Lin Linyou was really interested in becoming the Pirate King. However, when he learned from Yue Buqun that there were no women on Lao Zheng's treasure ship, and they were all old women who cooked and washed clothes, Lin Linyou thought to himself. , this One Piece is not appropriate!
After all, I am full of energy, so what if I lose it on the treasure ship? It's not the worst situation to be depressed, the worst thing is to be suppressed into Long Yang... No wonder Li Chun and the others can endure the days on the treasure ship. To them, men and women are the same.
Yue Buqun said: "Brother-in-law, don't underestimate these old ladies! They are outstanding and highly skilled!"
Lin Linyou was shocked. Could it be that Lao Zheng and the others liked this? "You don't even let the old woman go?! You are simply..."
"No! They are all selected from hundreds of miles away from the palace. They are all proficient in textile skills and shoulder the mission of teaching those foreign barbarians our great celestial dynasty's technology."
I see!
Lin Linyou secretly prayed: I hope that when my third brother comes back, his masculine body will still be there and the flower of the Double Ninth Festival will not fade away.
…
In February of the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Di led an army of 500,000 to personally conquer Oara, accompanied by the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji, Anding Marquis Liu Sheng, the chief minister of the cabinet Hu Guang, and the cabinet ministers Yang Rong and Jin Youzi.
In March, King Zhu Jixi of Pingyang reported that his elder brother, King Zhu Jixi of Jin, had rebelled against him. Prince Zhu Gaochi, thinking of the close friendship between brothers and classmates, ordered Jin King Zhu Jixi to be placed under house arrest in the Xuan Mansion.
More than five months later, Zhu Di visited Beijing. He was dissatisfied with the prince because of the incident at the East Palace. He was also dissatisfied with Zhu Jixi's usurpation of the throne because Zhu Jixi and Zhu Yunzhen had studied together in the capital when they were young. In addition, Zhu Jixi often slandered him in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Jixi, Zhu Di was angry at this, and ordered that Zhu Jixi be deposed as a commoner and be granted the title of King of Jin.
In September, after Zhu Jixi was deposed as a commoner, Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiweidu, personally led a team to ransack his home.
On the other side, Ji Gang named Lin Linyou and others, and gave him a list to arrest those responsible for the East Palace Welcome Incident - in fact, they were princelings.
Doesn't this make it clear that Lin Lin was pushed out to confront the prince?
Lin Linyou knew this, but he was helpless.
But Zhang Ben said: "Just do it! What else can you do?"
Lin Linyou had some doubts that Zhang Bi and the others were really on Ji Gang's side. He had never seen any action from the Zhang family in such a long time.
After looking at the list, Lin Linyou took a breath. The one at the front of the list was Huang Huai, the current deputy minister of the cabinet! There is also an important minister in the cabinet, Yang Pu among the three Yangs!
After Lin Linyou assembled the team, he took a deep breath again and realized that he was the biggest official in this operation. In other words, when the prince comes to power in the future, he will be the first person the princelings turn to to settle their scores. They can no longer use the excuse of "doing the job well" to escape responsibility.
"Ji Gang has so many capable people? Why are you looking for me?" Lin Linyou also wanted Zhang Bi to give him some advice, could he not go...
Zhang Bi said: "His capable generals are all busy raiding the King of Jin's house!"
Ji Gang was beautiful again this time. During the house raid, he stole five hundred taels of gold from the King of Jin, a gold basin, two precious necklaces, two sets of platinum saddles and bridles, etc. Yuan Jiang, Wang Qian, Pang Ying and others also gained something. .
Zhang Bi added: "Who asked you to accept his gift? Do you think those balls were given to you for free?"
Lin Linyou said: "So, this is all a trick you set on me, big brother? Please note, you gave him the pictures of those balls!"
Zhang Bi was silent for a while and then said: "We are playing a big game of chess..."
"Fart!" Lin Linyou was a little excited, "Oh - so I'm just a chess piece?"
"Second brother, please believe me..."
If it is mixed with political struggle, any means will be used. Lin Linyou couldn't believe it. After all, politics was too complicated. In the final analysis, they were all trying to climb up for themselves. Even if Zhang Bi wasn't the same, the Zhang family would be too.
At this time, the general flag officer came to report that Huang Huai and Yang Pu had been found, and they were waiting for Lin Baihu to catch them in person. These general flag officers are also thieves, and they know very well the principle of "following orders without fail".
Although the list was given by Ji Gang, the order was given by the emperor himself, and Lin Linyou did not dare to disobey it.
"I still need to think about your marriage with my little sister." After Lin Lin persuaded him, he took the embroidered spring knife and left angrily.
"This..." Zhang Bi stretched out his hand out of thin air and watched Lin Linyou's back disappear into the deep alley. After a long time, he slowly lowered his hand and sighed helplessly: "Second brother, in the end, you will understand your elder brother's good intentions. .”
Today, Yang Shiqi is hosting a banquet at home to welcome Hu Guang, Yang Rong, and Jin Youzi, who have returned victoriously from the expedition. The most important thing is to discuss the "East Palace Welcome Incident."
Also present at the table were Yang Pu, Huang Huai and other important officials in the court.
They didn't know that the Jinyi guards had already arrived at the gate of the house, and they were drinking and talking.
After drinking, Hu Guang asked Gui Zi to bring some famous prostitutes to accompany him. One of them was called Qi Yaxiu. I heard that she was called Bingxue Smart.
Hu Guang left the table to relieve himself. After finishing the explanation, he met the little turtle carrying Qi Yaxiu. He rewarded the little turtle with money. Hu Guang took Qi Yaxiu to the banquet and asked as he walked: "I heard that you are smart and smart." , can you make Sanyang laugh?"
After all, San Yang's reputation is much greater than that of Hu Guang, the chief minister of the cabinet. Hu Guang wants to make fun of the three of them!
Qi Yaxiu replied: "As soon as I entered, the three of them laughed."
Qi Yaxiu came in and Sanyang asked why he was late. Qi Yaxiu replied: "Reading."
Sanyang asked: "What book?"
Qi Yaxiu replied: "The Legend of the Martyr Woman."
The three laughed and said, "Bitches are rude."
Qi Yaxiu replied: "I am a female dog and you are male monkeys."
This was heard by the Jinyi guards who were coming, and they spread the word, and the news spread all over the capital.
Lin Linyou: It seems that Sanyang is also a mortal body, not a saint!
Take Sanyang as an example! From then on, I felt more at ease when visiting Jiaofangsi.
