Chapter 25 Uninvited Guest

Sending off the Three Islands, the prefect received an order from the court, saying that an envoy from the Goryeo State came to Beijing and proposed to come to our place to take a look. The emperor agreed, and a group of people came to me by boat from Tanggu.

Several Korean envoys were handsome and handsome, tall and burly. The leader was called Park Ji-sung. What were the guys behind him called Park Chang-sun and Park Chang-jiu? I heard it for no reason.

We Ming officials are not allowed to enter brothels.

These guys are called prostitution or something.

I led everyone to visit the gunship, and the many envoys were envious. I asked Huang's brother to draw structural drawings and give them to them, so that they could also build gunships.

A few Parks gave me a lot of Korean ginseng for me to replenish them. I happened to use it, and the old prefect Cao divided some

At the banquet, Park Changsun suddenly said to me quietly: I have a great gift, I will give it to the general, I hope to accept it

I smiled and said: You must collect good things, I won't be polite

Park Chang-sun asked the translator to tell me that this gift would be given to me at a separate meeting place.

I asked the prefect to clear the room, Park Changsun and I went in, Park said a few words to the translator, the translator saluted me and turned around and left

I wondered, no translation, just say nothing Ah

Unexpectedly, Park smiled slightly and said in extremely standard Chinese: General, the gift given to the general is a painting

I cursed in my heart: If the paintings of famous masters of the Tang and Song dynasties are still valuable, your paintings of Goryeo are useless

Park took out a scroll from his bag and slowly opened it. It turned out to be a fine-brush portrait of a beautiful woman. Park said to me: This is a portrait of our little princess.

I said: It's a bit stunning

Park said: General is willing, the youngest will go back and report to me and give the princess to the general

I Lele said: This gift is not small, please tell me what the purpose is.

Park knelt down and said: Our country is in danger, the general will rescue him.

I said: What does it mean, please make it clear

Park said: The fierce soldiers in Japan are now targeting Goryeo, but our country has no soldiers or generals and cannot resist, so my lord asks the general to think of a strategy

I grinned and said: I am just a general, and it's okay to fight. I have this ability to do this national policy.

Park said: Japan sent a lot of detailed works (spy), which made us domestic rumors, so some ministers were the main station, some ministers surrendered, and my lord was swaying and there were legends in our country. I said that if we could ask the general to help, we would definitely increase our confidence in all aspects.

I held the fine brushwork portrait of Princess Goryeo and said lustfully: Go back and report to your king. Ministers can surrender, but the king cannot. Once surrender, the king will become a prisoner. It is possible to die. Therefore, the king should be determined to fight to the death and the ministers can serve the battlefield. Japan invades your country, and then plot against our Ming Dynasty. It is Sima Zhao's heart. You should seek help from our Ming Dynasty through the court. If the young general obtains the imperial decree, he should help you with all his strength.

Park said: Unfortunately, there were differences in the Ming Dynasty's government. Some people were in charge of war, some people sent envoys to the capital to negotiate peace. They were treated by the Ming Dynasty's court and were very worried.

I smiled and said: This Toyotomi Hideyoshi is cunning. He used the strategy of Qin during the Warring States Period to fight against each other from a distance.

Park said: Don’t forget your lips are dead and your teeth are cold.

I smiled and said: You are a Chinese player

In principle, I agreed to help Goryeo, but if I really want to take action, I must also approve the court to Park Changsun and others to return home with satisfaction.

The princess is pregnant, and the queen mother ordered to take the princess back to Beijing for delivery. Eunuch Xue came to pick up the princess with orders and brought a large group of people over.

Eunuch Xue was a happy person when he saw me, and I was very happy. After all, I was an acquaintance. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss him very much.

Congratulations to Eunuch Xue, congratulations to you. The emperor gave me a bunch of jewelry, and stopped reading the imperial edict, and showed it to me directly. He was promoted to me as commander, and Lao Cao also gave birth to a thousand households. I am very happy. After all, he is a third rank, a high official.

Eunuch Xue said with a smile: The emperor is so happy that he is an uncle. The empress dowager is even happier. This time he will definitely let Princess Jiuer go back, and the empress dowager will be short of a grandson.

I thought I should have asked the princess to go back. After all, she is a royal family and it is better to take care of the imperial doctor for a child. I will let her go back while she is not very heavy.

A person flashed from behind Eunuch Xue, with a fat head and big ears, fair face, and grinned at me.

I looked up and didn't know each other. Eunuch Xue introduced: This is an official from Honglu Temple, Lord Wang

I quickly saluted, and Lord Zhao bowed and said: General Liu, I have something to notify you this time, that is, Japan is already in peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, so don’t conflict with the Japanese people for the time being

I was stunned for a moment and said: Is it really a peace talk?

Eunuch Xue said: It's true, this is a good thing. Ah, I'm very happy. No need for weapons, you can take a break.

I lowered my head and thought for a while and said: Long live the Lord? The Japanese pirates are not a good thing. They took the initiative to negotiate, would they have any other ideas?

Eunuch Xue said: No, no, they were very serious and sent one of their princes as hostages.

I was stunned for a moment and said: Prince? It is said that what general in Japan is in power? What does the prince do?

Eunuch Xue coughed, and the Lord Wang said with a tilted mouth: General Liu, you have worked hard and made great contributions. Everyone knows that the battle will always be over. After all, there is still a peace talk.

I said: We also need our troops to come to the city and let them sign the alliance under the city. This way, we will not make any profit in this way.

Eunuch Xue laughed and said: Long live and agree, don’t think about your gunships, you can also be transformed into merchant ships.

I bowed my head silently, and Eunuch Xue smiled and said: Remember the two old guys from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue

I nodded and said: Two old men have encouraged me so much, why don’t you remember

Eunuch Xue laughed and said: You think they are really nice to you, you are gone, they say a lot of bad things about you, but you don’t have to worry, the family has put them all in the East Factory Prison

I was shocked, but I didn't show any expression

Eunuch Xue waved his hand and Lord Wang went out. Eunuch Xue whispered: I'll introduce you to your personal character.

As he said that, Eunuch Xue clapped his hands and flashed from behind the screen, wearing a black gauze dress and a black hat covering his head.

As soon as this person came out, I felt a little chill all over and my yin energy was too heavy

The man let out a strange laugh, and he couldn't hear a man or a woman

He opened his hat, a weird guy with white eyebrows and pink face, and his chin had no beard.

He smiled at me indifferently, and I felt an inexplicable fear in my heart.

Eunuch Xue was respectful to this man, and he said to me: This is the headmaster of the East Factory, the emperor's most trusted official general, General Wei.

I quickly knelt down and saluted. General Manager Wei let out a burst of laughter that humans could not make, and reached out to help me.

Mr. Wei didn't let me kowtow, and I had some strength on my hands. I insisted on kowtowing. The two of them had a slight tremor. I just felt a shock all over and my body stood up.

I was shocked and said: The manager's skills are unfathomable, and I will admire you very much

General Wei smiled and said: General Liu is not bad, it seems to be from Shaolin.

I nodded and thought to myself, this old eunuch is too powerful. If I do it, I will be much different.

I looked at him in a daze, and General Manager Wei said: General Liu, you have good kung fu and your ability to lead troops to fight is also good. The emperor likes Ah very much now as a royal relative, how can you salute me, a servant?

I said: The general manager is an important official around the emperor, and the East Factory is the top priority. How can the last general not show his respect

Manager Wei said: You keep listening to Xiao Xuezi in the capital.

I nodded and said: To defend the country, what is the responsibility of the last general

Manager Wei said: Those short guys are really afraid of you, but during this period, you should try to avoid conflicts.

I nodded and said: The court wants to negotiate. The last general should abide by the imperial court's will. The last general will never go out to sea to find trouble. However, if the Japanese pirates still come to burn, kill, loot, the last general will still be...

Manager Wei interrupted me and said: Don’t worry about these things. Now you are the commander and commander of the military. Let the people below deal with these small matters.

I nodded and said yes

Manager Wei reached out and handed me an envelope. I took it and opened it. It turned out to be a thick stack of silver notes. I was stunned. Manager Wei said: If you are promoted, you will also receive gifts from all over the family.

I'll thank you quickly

Mr. Wei saw that I took the silver bill and said with a smile: The Zajia will introduce you to two friends you know.

As Eunuch Xue invited two people out of the inner room. I looked closely and found that it was Liu Sheng Jingyun and Heng Lu Jing Er.

I was stunned and instinctively wanted to draw my sword. Eunuch Xue held my hand and said: Don't be excited, everyone is my own.

I was very puzzled, why did I become my own people with these Japanese pirates?

My mind was filled with the 12 sailors whose throats were cut open, and they were clenched in their teeth.

Liu Sheng bowed to me and said: General Liu, don't be safe.

I nodded and stared at him

Liu Sheng said: General Liu, since you have already had a peace talk, don’t look at me so fiercely

Eunuch Xue smiled and said: They are all their own people, don’t be nervous.

I swallowed my anger and said: Since you are really a peace talk, you are not allowed to kill and set fire again. Otherwise, I will take your life regardless of whether the peace talks or not.

Yagyu smiled and said: No, no, we will become friends

I don't know the purpose of these people, I suppress my anger and resentment

Yagyu said politely: I had a discussion with the general last time. I admire you and I are both martial arts practitioners. Don’t participate in political affairs. This time I come to make friends with me by martial arts.

I smiled and said: That's OK, is your junior sister good?

When Liu Sheng heard this, his face was gloomy and said viciously: Fortunately, it's okay, more generals care about it.

I smiled and said: I miss her quite a bit

Yayoi couldn't even speak. It seemed that he knew a little about me and his junior sister.

I watched Willow's black bun turn green, and I was so happy in my heart.

I asked them what the purpose of this time was. The old eunuch Wei took out a stack of memorials from his bag and placed them on the table. I looked closely and saw that I wrote it to the emperor. The old eunuch Wei said: General Liu is not only good at martial arts, but also good at writing.

I cursed in my heart, these guys can actually intercept my memorial. Isn't this blocking the emperor's ears and eyes?

Yayoi also took out a hat from her bag. I looked familiar with it. I suddenly remembered that it was the hat of Park Changshun and others whom I had seen not long ago. Yayoi smiled and said: These Goryeo people want to return to China from the general, so we will send them a ride, hahaha

I said: What do you mean, just say it

The old eunuch Wei said: The general has made many military achievements and is a relative of the country. The saints are in the forefront. If the general writes memorials and the masters, we will be grateful and we will thank him very much. It is not impossible for the general to be the king in the future.

I understood what they meant, and thought for a moment that I was no match for these people at all, but I couldn't compromise either

I said seriously: General Wei, General Xue, everyone knows that Japan's desire to destroy me. If we wait for peace and the Japanese pirates turn against each other in the future, how can we protect our Ming Dynasty

General Manager Wei said: General Liu, do you think we have the intention to be against us?

I said: I dare not

General Manager Wei said: We are all confidants, and we should share our worries for the peace talks with Japan. We are also thinking about the court. Recently, natural disasters have been going on every year, the national treasury is empty, and together with the swords and weapons, how can we bear the military expenses? Have the general ever thought about it?

********************

Note: In those years, China suffered consecutive natural disasters. The winter weather was extremely cold. The wheat in the north could not survive the winter. According to current scientific and technological personnel, it encountered a Little Ice Age in China. The extreme climate in various places was constantly increasing. Therefore, people were living in poverty and the national treasury was empty.

********************

I heard something, nodded silently

Eunuch Xue said: Japan will naturally not fight against the Ming Dynasty. Everyone will talk to each other with courtesy. Why not do it for Ah

I said: What about Goryeo?

Yagyu said: The general will not worry about the matter in Goryeo. If the general falls in love with Princess Goryeo, I will send her to the general's mansion in the future, won't it be over?

I think these grandchildren still have to attack Goryeo Ah

I said to the eunuch Wei: General Manager, I am not convenient to say more about the affairs of the government. You and the ministers in the court formulate national policies, and the young generals obey the orders.

Eunuch Wei smiled and said: I still have to write two memorials. The emperor still listens to the general very much.

I shook my head and said: I promise not to write the memorials, but I can't do it if I ask me to write the memorials.

Eunuch Wei's face sank slightly, Eunuch Xue quickly smoothed out and said: This is OK, the general is out of his place, waiting to be a father, it is also a pleasure to be a princess back to Beijing to give birth to a fat boy for the general, the general is a joy to family.

I heard that Eunuch Xue was threatening me with the princess, and I smiled coldly and said: Manager Xue, things are done by people, what is the result? God knows

Seeing that Eunuch Wei couldn't buy me, she raised her hand to pat my shoulder. I felt a coldness, which spread from my shoulder to my body. I shivered. Eunuch Wei smiled and said: General Liu, take care of her health.

After saying that, eunuch Wei and two Japanese pirates retreated to the inner room

Eunuch Xue said a few words to me, and I will say goodbye

The princess sets off for Beijing
