Liu Dahai immediately left his shift and kowtowed three times and nine times in the direction of the emperor's throne, shouting long live and thanking him. Then he returned to his shift under the guidance of the eunuch.

The rest of the things had nothing to do with Liu Dahai. So Liu Dahai began to observe the morning court. Not long after, Liu Dahai felt boring. Because he couldn't understand most of the things, he kept standing there.

It's the end of the morning.

When Liu Dahai followed the crowd out of the Meridian Gate, Eunuch Liu walked over with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu, for getting what you wanted!"

Liu Dahai knew what Eunuch Liu meant when he came here, so he took off the tooth tag from his waist, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Thanks to my father-in-law for taking care of me along the way. I thank you for your kindness!"

Eunuch Liu nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, that's all our family can do! Please return to the post house quickly, Mr. Liu. Maybe there will be an order sent to the post house in the afternoon!"

The Ming Dynasty had long established rules for conferring foreign vassals. All departments only had to follow the established procedures. If these officials were willing, they could actually act very quickly.

Sure enough, in the evening, Wang Wencheng appeared at the posthouse with a glowing face. As soon as they met, he raised his hand to Liu Dahai and said: "Congratulations to my dear brother for completing the request of the King of Ryukyu! The decree of canonization will arrive tomorrow. The accompanying eunuchs will pass on the decree.

The minister has also been decided!"

Seeing Wang Wencheng's proud look, Liu Dahai asked: "Could it be that the angel this time is my brother? Congratulations!"

Wang Wencheng nodded proudly and said, "It's Brother Yu!"

Liu Dahai immediately held up his hands and said: "It seems that my brother Jian is in the emperor's heart. I'm afraid he will be promoted to another level after returning to the court!"

Wang Wencheng said with a smile on his face: "I'd like to lend you some kind words!"

Liu Dahai then asked in a low voice: "Brother, how come Eunuch Wei didn't show up at the court meeting? Could it be that he was really frightened by the righteous people in the court?"

Wang Wencheng laughed and said: "My dear brother, I don't know. These days, Wei Gong is busy with the matters assigned by the emperor, so he has no time to intervene in the book seal. Coupled with the joint efforts of the ministers of the DPRK, Wei Gong was caught off guard.

!Otherwise this matter will be delayed for a long time!”

Liu Dahai nodded and said: "That's it! Forget it, let's not talk about it. In order to celebrate that brother got the job, I will be your host today, so brother will invite some friends to celebrate together!"

Wang Wencheng was not polite and nodded directly and said: "Then there is Brother Lao Xian."

Wang Wencheng didn't mention it when he called his friends that night. Early the next morning, a eunuch came to the post house with two little firemen (younger castrated eunuchs). When Liu Dahai saw them, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting. But today

The eunuchs are not like those in the past

He was always so high-spirited, but he said with a smile: "Master Liu, our surname is Wu. We are the deputy envoys who are going to Ryukyu this time to canonize!"

Liu Dahai immediately held up his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law! Please come in and serve tea."

The two of them entered the house. Liu Dahai went straight to the dry goods without saying a word. He dragged a small box out from under the bed and placed it on the table. Then he said, "It's a small thought, but it's not respectful. I hope Eunuch Wu will accept it with a smile."

Eunuch Wu guessed that the contents were probably silver. He suppressed his excitement and reached out to gently open the lid of the box. As expected, there were a lot of silver inside, which seemed to be around 200 taels.

This is the subtlety of Liu Dahai. When giving gifts to civil servants, he chooses banknotes. Because those civil servants want both money and reputation. Large sums of money are too conspicuous, but banknotes of the same value are put away.

It doesn't show any mountains or water, so it's very convenient.

But these eunuchs are different. Their bodies are broken, and only their desire for money is left. The impact of silver in physical form is greater for them. After all, for a greedy person, if he sees a shining silver ingot, it is more powerful than a silver ingot.

The fluffy banknotes are much more exciting.

After a while, Eunuch Wu was worthy of being a deputy envoy. He raised his head and calmed down and said: "Master Liu, they say that you are generous and generous! It is true! I just want to ask a few words, as the saying goes.

People must ask for something when giving a gift. You gave me such an important gift, what do you ask for?"

It’s not surprising that Eunuch Wu asked this. Because under normal circumstances, when the interrogator reads out the canonization decree, and the eunuch acts as deputy envoy to represent the emperor, he simply cannot use so much money. A thank-you gift of more than a hundred taels is enough.

. And Eunuch Wu was able to reach this position in the inner court because of his caution. He did not want to get into trouble for a mere hundred taels of silver. You know, the most important thing in the palace is to be careful, careful, and careful again!

Liu Dahai said: "To be honest with Eunuch Wu, I do have something to ask of you. I have been away from Ryukyu for a long time, and I haven't married yet. I only have my widowed mother at home. So I want to go back to serve my mother as soon as possible. If it is convenient for Eunuch Wu,

If so, the sooner we set off, the better."

After hearing this, Eunuch Wu said with a relieved look on his face: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be a filial son! If Mr. Liu is asking for these little things, our family can agree to it. But our family is not an envoy, and what we say does not count! We are an envoy.

Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Rites."

Liu Dahai said with a smile: "Eunuch Haojiao learned that I mentioned this matter to Mr. Wang yesterday, and he said that he would follow my arrangements. I made an appointment with him to set off early the next day."

After hearing this, Eunuch Wu smiled and said, "Even so, our family can leave the day after tomorrow."

After the two of them chatted for a while, Eunuch Wu called the two little flamers in.

He took away the small box. Liu Dahai did not forget to stuff each little fireman with a small ingot of gold. Eunuch Wu was naturally not happy to see it, because according to the unspoken rules, he would also reward these two when he returned.

Xiao Huo Zhe's. Liu Dahai gave him a silver reward, so he saved a share.

The reason why Liu Dahai hurried back to Ryukyu was that he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and cause further trouble. You know, those civil servants were not all fools. After being tricked by Wei Zhongxian, they might have been overjoyed for a short time, but as time went on, they

Will understand.

It's very easy for these civil servants to ruin your affairs. That's why Liu Dahai is in a hurry to go to sea. As long as he goes to sea, those civil servants, no matter how powerful they are, are beyond their reach. Besides, Liu Dahai has already arrived in the capital.

After spending tens of thousands of taels of silver, it would be better to spend a few hundred taels to bribe the two envoys to leave early. If a smart civil servant reacts, all the money will be wasted!

The next day, Liu Dahai wrote a memorial to express his gratitude to the emperor, and then urged Wang Wencheng and Eunuch Wu to set off. Naturally, the two of them had no objection to taking Liu Dahai's money. They had to go there sooner or later anyway.

It's just a matter of leaving early and coming back early.

It's not far from the capital to Tianjin. They rushed to Tianjin the night they set out. After resting there for a night, they set sail to sea early the next morning. The sails were raised and the two ships left the port. Liu Dahai relaxed a little.

It sounds like the credit this time has been truly achieved!

The fact was just as Liu Dahai expected. Not long after, some ministers in the court realized that they were being used by Wei Zhongxian!

Counting the time, as soon as Liu Dahai and the others went to sea, Wei Zhongxian showed up in a big way, and he didn't look busy! This made the ministers who reacted very angry!

Originally, a matter like this canonization could not be completed in less than three or four months without several rollbacks at the court meeting. As a result, everyone worked together to oppose Wei Zhongxian, and it was actually completed in just a dozen days.

All the procedures required for the canonization were completed, and even the envoys were sent out, which is considered a strange event in the history of the country!

But they, the civil servants, had no choice but to wake up. The two imperial envoys had already gone to sea, could they still be brought back? At the same time, if they spoke out, they would hurt their own reputation and gain the arrogance of Wei Wei, so they had no choice but to keep silent.

Instead, he was feeling sulky. As for those who didn't know why, they shouted happily in the teahouse and restaurant. This time they finally defeated Wei Yi in a game. This made the civil servants who understood the cause and effect even more angry.

But at this time, Wang Wencheng and Eunuch Wu, who were on the boat, were living quite comfortably. They didn't encounter any storms at all along the way, and the sea was as calm as a piece of jade. So the two of them didn't even get seasick.
Chapter completed!
