In April of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, after the opening of the northern Bohai Sea, the long-awaited imperial edict finally came down. This made Mao Wenlong feel as relaxed as if his whole body had been loosened. It was originally the third day of June of the following year that the Ming Dynasty envoy

The eunuchs Wang Minzheng and Hu Liangfu presided over the canonization ceremony. This time, these two people came over, preparing to deliver the decree and preside over the ceremony at the same time. Along with them, there was someone Mao Wenlong never expected - cabinet minister Ma Weizhong.

From this point of view, the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty's court has been significantly improved. This is a huge change after the Guchen Party came to power, and it is a good change.

"Two father-in-laws, does the emperor have any other imperial edicts or other oral instructions to bring to the lower officials?" Mao Wenlong asked happily.

Wang Minzheng solemnly said: "There is no oral edict, and there is no central decree."

Mao Wenlong was a little disappointed, but then Wang Minzheng smiled, carefully took out a thick envelope from his arms, and held it in front of Mao Wenlong with both hands: "This is a letter from the emperor to Mao Shuai. Please ask Mao Shuai to stay alone at night."

Be careful when doing so”

Mao Wenlong was completely stunned. Tianjia's selfless affairs, what he said and did, were closely related to the country and the dynasty. He suddenly wrote a private letter to himself. What kind of routine was this? So Mao Wenlong didn't know whether he should accept it or not.

Answered, I don’t know how to answer it.

Seeing the bewildered Mao Wenlong's expression, Hu Liangfu leaned forward and said with a smile: "When our family came here, the emperor said that you, Marshal Mao, and the emperor have been friends for many years.

Apocalypse is nineteen this year, and although Mao Wenlong has a young heart, in calculation, this is the fourth year of Apocalypse, and he is already forty-eight years old. He and Apocalypse are already separated by a generation, and according to the generation difference of this era, both can be done

The grandfather of Tianqi.

What Tianqi said about his year-end friend is quite reasonable.

But this statement about the year-end friendship coming from Tianqi should have made Mao Wenlong burst into tears of gratitude, but there was no tears of gratitude, only warmth. It was this sentence that strengthened Mao Wenlong's determination to take good care of this Ming Dynasty for Tianqi. As the saying goes, relatives

Looking forward to failure, friends hope for good. For the sake of his friends, Mao Wenlong must let him get better, let Ming get better, and let the Han family get better.

As for the change of dynasty due to lack of support, as long as the change of dynasty is in the hands of the Han people, it is just a fight between brothers, and that will happen in the future.

He carefully took the letter, held it carefully in his arms, turned to Ma Weizhong and asked: "Brother, you are so proud of the success in the cabinet, you don't know why you came to me. Do you want to take a bath in the sea and eat Bohai fish?" Then he deliberately

He looked at the sky and said, "It's early April now. It's still early to go to the sea. It can freeze you to death. It's also early to eat Bohai fish. They all have fish bones and no meat."

Ma Weizhong pretended to be sincere and solemnly handed over to Mao Wenlong: "The cabinet has accepted North Korea's request and ordered Marshal Mao of Dongjiang Town to send troops to North Korea to assist North Korea's King Li Zhu to suppress the rebellion. But in order to prevent you from taking advantage of the cabinet and the emperor's imperial edict to do that?

As you are committing illegal acts, I specifically order your subordinates to supervise what you do."

Mao Wenlong grinned, "It seems that what he did really frightened the cabinet. They no longer want to take the blame for themselves." Then he looked at Ma Weizhong's back with interest.

Ma Weizhong jumped up immediately: "Don't look at me, I will never let you be blamed."

Mao Wenlong smiled proudly: "Actually, the cabinet sent you here to take the blame for me, because they want me not to take the blame, but they really have nothing to do with me."

Then everyone in the whole hall laughed together.

After receiving the official letter from the cabinet, Xu Jie smiled and said to Ma Weizhong: "You came just in time. Previously, because we did not get the order from the court, but we were worried that Jiannu would take advantage of the civil strife in Korea, we adopted the method of killing first and reporting later. A battalion was sent to Tieshan, North Korea. Mr. Ma Xiao, please take the blame first."

Ma Weizhong grinned: "Let me tell you, it's not good for Master Ye to ask me to come. He said that the cabinet needs a cabinet member who understands military affairs. Let me practice with you. In fact, he just pushed me into a pit of fire. You said It's strange, I am usually very respectful to my mentor. During the holidays, even if I have three or six birthdays, I am also respectful. Why can't I fall behind?" Then he looked at the two eunuchs and imperial envoys: "But it's my turn. I will shoulder the responsibility."

Mao Wenlong patted him on the shoulder and praised him: "We are still brothers, good job. Since you have done the first year of junior high school and will do the fifteenth again, you should be ready to help your brother." Then he smiled evilly: "I I will never be merciful when I start."

Ma Weizhong rubbed his neck and turned pale.

Everyone laughed for a while, and Mao Wenlong began to introduce the current situation in North Korea to the three people.

"Li Zhu and his uncle have been fighting for the legitimacy of the dynasty. The current situation is that North Korea has been clearly divided into two factions, and there are no longer those who stand on the fence. The Eastern Party supports the Xing'an Army supported by Li Shi. The Western Party The People's Party supports Li Zhu, and the two sides are at loggerheads.

And now Li Zhu has been relying on loans to support him. If it hadn't been for the opening of the sea, I sold him hundreds of ships of grain a few days ago. He was so poor that he was digging wild vegetables to make ends meet. And Li Shi was no better. Wherever he went, the food equipment he bought from me made me empty out the North Korean treasury he originally stole, and he has already run out of money and food."

Ma Weizhong said with a smile: "It seems that Mao Shuai is making money from both of them. You are taking it all, it's not kind."

Mao Wenlong explained: "I couldn't help it. At that time, the imperial court's attitude towards both sides of North Korea was unclear. I didn't dare to offend either side. In fact, I was also trying to make good friends with both sides for the imperial court's final decision. It was difficult for me."

This point of view is true. If Mao Wenlong blindly supported Li Zhu at that time, then Li Shi's Xing'an Lord was recognized by the court, then Xing'an Lord would be dissatisfied with the court's support of Li Zhu, and vice versa.

Mao Wenlong's handling of this situation was tantamount to favoring both sides of the court.

But what if no one supported it at that time? It’s better to shut up about such an idea. No matter what, Mao Wenlong earned North Korea’s money, and he spent it on Dongjiang Town, which also saved Dongjiang Town for the court in disguise. The allocation of military expenditures is not.

Ma Weizhong frowned: "If the war continues like this, if Marshal Mao leads his troops, he will probably have a brutal war with Li Shi."

Mao Wenlong just smiled, and then said proudly: "Still a brutal war? Pull him down. As long as I no longer deliver supplies to Li Shi, his army will starve and disperse immediately. In five days, as long as I am willing, as long as five days, I will get absolutely victory."

The two eunuchs who delivered the order immediately said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for? Please ask Marshal Mao to implement it as soon as possible." The sooner the rebellion in Korea is quelled, the better it will be for the Ming Dynasty. This is when the two people came, the emperor and the cabinet The common intention is that North Korea cannot be in chaos, and North Korea must be used to put pressure on Jiannu. This is also the consensus of the court and the cabinet. When they came, the emperor and the cabinet repeatedly warned them.
