Before leaving Rouyi Hall at the You hour, Zhu Gaoxu received a memorial, and his face changed on the spot.
Because he didn't take the initiative to talk about it, Miao Jin never asked about military and national affairs, but she guessed that what was said in the memorial was afraid that it was not good news.
The two went back to the Imperial Concubine Palace together. Miaojin accompanied Zhu Gaoxu for dinner and walked around the Imperial Concubine Palace again.
She could sense that Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be touched by the previous memorial.
While the two were together, although Gao Xu would agree with her words and sometimes smile, he said less and often had a little absent-mindedness.
The daytime in early summer has become longer.The sun seemed to have set for a long time, but the road could still be seen clearly between the palaces and where the lights could not be shined.
When they returned to the bedroom, Miaojin then sent off all the palace maids.
The two were already very familiar with each other, so Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything deliberately. He was sitting on a chair and thinking about something.
Miaojin also did some trivial matters by herself.
Miao Jin sat in front of the dressing table, turned around and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and was still a little confused.
Miao Jin turned around and looked at her face in the bronze mirror.
I saw that the face in the mirror was very beautiful, and the makeup-touched eyebrows and eyes became more charming.
The powder on her face was lightly used, but it did look better than plain noodles.
So she stood up from the dressing table, took off the streamer, took off her shoes, went to the big bed to make the bed, and then put down the mosquito-protected curtain.
Miao Jin remembers that Zhu Gaoxu praised her waist and other contours many times; and the posture of lying down to tidy up the bedding seemed to suit his wishes.
Besides, such an inadvertent posture has excuses and will not seem to be deliberately offering.
As expected, when Miao Jin accidentally turned around, she found Gao Xu admiring her intently.She knew that her posture was a bit indecent at this time, so she felt embarrassed and her heartbeat gradually became faster.
Gao Xu's eyes made Miaojin feel a very wonderful feeling.
She thought about the reason for a little, probably because she seemed to be better than herself in Gao Xu's eyes.
There are many concubines in the palace, and there are many beautiful beauties. Miao Jin is sometimes a little angry; but because of this, her beauty is recognized by the emperor at this moment, which is probably more credible than any praise.
She did not resist at all when she noticed Gao Xu blasphemed her with her eyes.
Zhu Gaoxu stood up and walked straight to the bedside. He seemed a little impulsive and suddenly pressed Miao Jin onto the bedding.
Miao Jin exclaimed lightly, a smile appeared in her eyes, but she said coquettishly: Do Gao Xu want to bully me?
As expected, he slowed down a little.Miao Jin lay on the quilt, looking at Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, and seeing him looking at his face and neck without restraint.
The weather was a little hot in the afternoon and I was sweating. I hadn't taken a shower yet.Miaojin said again.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Let’s talk about it later.
Miao Jin looked at Zhu Gaoxu with her face raised, and couldn't help but slowly stretch out her slender hand and stretched into his collar.She pressed her hand on Gao Xu's chest and vaguely felt his mania.
...When you are restless, Zhu Gaoxu will have a sharp increase in appetite and want to repair cars crazily. This hobby is indeed uncommon.
But his worries seemed to be asking for them.
The memorial received yesterday evening was from Li Bin from the Annan Governor's Office. The content of the memorial was indeed not a good thing.
Zhu Gaoxu did not go to the morning court today. He summoned Liu Ming at the Donghunting Pavilion, and then summoned the ministers to discuss matters.
There was a buzzing noise inside the partition, and civil and military officials were talking about it.Zhu Gaoxu sat behind the imperial case, silently thinking about everything, waiting to listen to everyone's opinions.
The content of the report from Li Bin of the Left Deputy Governor of the Annan Governor's Office (the governor is nominally Chen Zhengyuan) has nothing to do with Annan Kingdom; it is related to matters in Zhenla, Siam, the Kingdom of Malacca and other places.
Because the Ming delegation heading south took Songtai Acropolis at the mouth of the Baiteng River as its base, Li Bin summarized the results of the southern affairs and reported to the capital.
The missions to Zhenla and Siam last year did not work.
Among them, the Ming envoy who landed from Saigon Port suffered the worst.
On their way to Angkor Thom, Zhenla Kingdom, they were attacked and all the people were slaughtered.
Later, the Zhenla Kingdom returned the body, explaining that the incident was caused by rebels and bandits in the country, and promised to capture the criminals and hand them over to the Ming Dynasty for disposal.
But Tang Jing, a general of the Ming Navy, believed that it was because the Zhen La Kingdom was unwilling to ced the territory after receiving the Ming Dynasty's letter, so he ordered his troops to slaughter the Ming army's mission.
Tang Jing's reason was that the letter to the Ming Dynasty was not found among the bodies returned by the Zhen La Kingdom.
The mission to the Ayutthaya Kingdom was waiting in Ayutthaya for more than a month and did not see the king of Siam at all. Every time he asked for a visit, he was blocked by various excuses.
After that, everyone had no choice but to return to the mouth of Zhaopaiye River and returned in vain.
The Sultan Kingdom of Malacca (Mantaya) further south is even taking the initiative to cause trouble.
Li Bin received a letter from the old Hong Kong consolation envoy Shi Jinqing, and the King of Malacca, Baili Misushu, was sending people to persuade him from all sides to try to form an anti-Ming alliance.
The Xuanwei Office of the Old Port was in danger of being besieged. Shi Jinqing hoped that the Annan Governor's Office would increase troops south to protect his territory and the Han people on the stronghold.
In the East Nuan Pavilion, Duke Qi and others were angrily scolding the leaders of various countries for being ungrateful.
However, civil servant Lu Zhen expressed doubts. He said: At present, there is only one-sided statement from the Marquis of Fengcheng (Li Bin). Other evidence has not been sent to the capital, and there may be differences in the matter.Zhenla, Siam, Mantaga and other countries are all small countries. How dare they offend the Ming Dynasty easily?
Navy general Tang Jing is not at a high level, but he is also present today due to his position.
He reminded Lu Zhen: There is no need to consider how strong the Ming Dynasty's national strength is.The Ming Dynasty could threaten the military power of various countries, only the naval division fleet and the land division of up to 20,000 people.
Suddenly, several civil and military officials agreed, thinking that Tang Jing's words were reasonable.
Although Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything, he also recognized Tang Jing's remarks.
At present, the only way for the Ming Dynasty's official army to threaten the southern countries is to attack by sea.
It is basically unrealistic to have to pass through tropical jungles to Zhenla, Siam and other countries by land.
Xia Yuanji, Minister of Revenue, said: What the Tang General said was very true, Mantaojia and other countries were thousands of miles away.The court clearly wanted them to cede land and pay taxes, but it was difficult for them to submit to envoys.
At this moment, Liu Ming strode up from the end of the team and said aloud: Everyone...
Liu Ming's voice was very loud, and the civil and military officials gradually became quieter and looked at each other.
Liu Ming said: Dear colleagues, the court wants to include the sea route east of the Malacca Strait into the Ming Dynasty's tribute relations, but it has set a national policy a few years ago and must not give up easily.First of all, we must control the eastern sea routes so that sea trade can be greatly explored. This is one of the key points of the new policy.
Xia Yuanji didn't even look at Liu Ming, but bowed straight to the upper position and said: Zhenla, Siam, Java and other countries are far away from the Ming Dynasty and are not small in the south.The emperor clearly understands that many places resist our dynasty and the use of troops to attack may not be a day.
Liu Ming said: We don’t want the territory of the countries, we only need sea routes and port bases.Take the Sai Kung Port first, then destroy the Mantao Jia, and then solve other matters slowly in the future.
Everyone was talking again.At this time, the Minister of War Qi Tai agreed: I think Liu Ming’s words are not without reason.
Qi Tai looked back and said: My dynasty doesn’t have to pay attention to the meaning of the Zhenla royal family, and just build a fortress and garrison in Saigon Port.The court once promised Chameng to transfer the land north of Saigon to Chameng; now once the official army sends troops to occupy Saigon, Chameng can see sincerity.
Chameng Kingdom wanted the promised land and was very likely to be willing to send troops to form reinforcements with the official army to jointly deal with the counterattack of Zhen La Kingdom.It can make up for the insufficient military strength of the Ming Dynasty's official army.
As for the so-called "Anti-Ming Alliance", I found it difficult to achieve; they may only be able to join the areas where the Hui Muslim believers are.When our court attacks and destroys Mantaojia, it will kill two birds with one stone and prevent the expansion of the Hui and Hui Sect.
At this moment, the eunuch Wang Jinghong bowed and said: Emperor, I am brave, I don’t know if I should say too much.
Zhu Gaoxu said: After that.
Wang Jinghongdao: The Manchuka royal family was a man who moved south from Persia and was close to the Sultanic dynasty in northern India.If our country resorts to force against the Manchus and the Kazuo Kingdom, the fleet's voyage to the West in the future may cause more hostility to the West.
Well... Zhu Gaoxu made a sound without comment and glanced at Liu Ming with his own eyes.
Liu Ming took over the topic without hesitation and said: Our dynasty has no hostility or friendship with the Western countries, only trade.
After hearing this, Wang Jinghong bowed and said nothing more.
Xia Yuanji said: The emperor, the weaving bureau and courtyard originally established by the imperial court in the Guangdong Provincial Administration and Commissioner General produced silk, which was originally intended to trade with countries that believed in the Hui and Huili clan.Now that the official army wants to attack the Mansama Canadian country, it may interrupt the ocean silk business.
Liu Ming retorted again: Silk and porcelain are only produced in the East, and transporting them to the Western Hui and Islamic Sect is very profitable. If they can be transferred to the Nestorian (Christ and God) area, the profit will be about twenty times.Since there are huge profits, why worry about business?Xiabutang was worried too much.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded quietly again.
Xia Yuanji seemed quite dissatisfied with Liu Ming.Perhaps those who oppose Xia Yuanji, if they were Hou Hai and Qian Xun, would Xia Yuanji feel better; Liu Ming is a new Jinshi, what qualifications do you have?
Zhu Gaoxu also felt that he had made mistakes in his work this morning.
Civil officials and military generals have their own opinions, and they are in a mess.Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: Let’s discuss it again.
After hearing this, everyone gave a big gift and thanked him one after another.
Although the court had a chaotic opinion, Zhu Gaoxu resisted not expressing his opinion, because once the emperor made up his attitude, everyone had nothing to say.
However, Qi Tai and others might have seen that Liu Ming’s remarks mean the emperor.
First let the ministers make their claims, then the court discusses, and then Zhu Gaoxu makes a decision. This process is more in line with the rules.
After the people left, the Donghunting Pavilion quickly became deserted and became silent.Zhu Gaoxu sat alone on the chair, looking thoughtful and did not move for a long time.
Because he didn't take the initiative to talk about it, Miao Jin never asked about military and national affairs, but she guessed that what was said in the memorial was afraid that it was not good news.
