Looking at Chang Yuchun and Hu Weiyong kneeling in front of him, Suning was also very sad. Guo Zixing, whether in history or in this parallel time and space, was the king in the beginning and the end of the mentally retarded operation.
"Let's stop this matter. I don't want my pregnant concubine Ma to be affected by this matter."
"Yes! Prince Ming!"
"Hu Weiyong, since you are back from Yingzhou now, I will give you another task. If you still can't complete it, find a way out by yourself!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!
I will definitely complete my mission."
"Well! Fang Guozhen, who is now entrenched in eastern Zhejiang, is our next target. Go and recruit Fang Guozhen to surrender.
As long as he is willing to submit to our Red Flag Army, he can be appointed as the commander of the Navy, and all treatments will be treated equally."
"Ah? Surrender Fang Guozhen?"
"Hmm! What? Is it difficult?"
"No! Absolutely not!
I will definitely complete this mission."
"Well! Don't forget to stop by Li Shanchang's place before departure.
Young people must learn to be humble and pragmatic, and not to raise their tails even if they have a little status."
"Yes! I remember my humble position."
After watching Hu Weiyong go down in fear, Suning looked at Chang Yuchun and said, "Old Chang, don't tell your mother-in-law about this when you go back.
I'm worried that when she is chatting with the princess and the others, she will easily let something slip."
"Yes! I will finally understand!"
"Well! Go down!"
"I will finally retire!"
Now that both Ma Xiuying and Chen Chen are pregnant, such a big thing has happened to the Guo family, so they can only hide it from her for the time being, in case the fetus is moved due to this, which will be bad.
Suning went straight to Princess Liu's house. Now all her food was cooked by herself and Mrs. Liu, because she was worried that the people around her would add some "seasonings" if they were unreliable.
"Suning, I heard that Guo Zixing was also killed?"
"Well! It can be considered that he is seeking his own death!
Historically, he and Sun Deya were enemies, but I didn’t expect that we have changed so much and he is still entangled with Sun Deya.”
"Hey! This is life!" Ms. Liu was a little sad at this time, and then couldn't help but said, "By the way! You must not tell Mr. Ma about this matter.
At the very least, we have to wait until she has given birth and recovered well before we can say anything."
"Yeah! I've already told you to go ahead."
After dinner, Suning couldn't wait to carry Ms. Liu into the bedroom. But just as Suning went straight to the topic, Ms. Liu suddenly felt nauseated.
"vomit......"
"Sissi, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Mrs. Liu glanced at Suning angrily, then couldn't help but smile and said, "What else could be going on!
I might be pregnant again."
"Ah? Haha, great!
I'll tell the doctor to take your pulse now!"
"Um!"
Soon the doctor came to the backyard and nervously took Liu's pulse. At this time, Ma and Chen also came over curiously with their big bellies.
"My lord, congratulations!
The princess is indeed pregnant." The doctor looked at Suning with a smile and congratulated her.
"Haha, great!
Wu San, lead Doctor Zhou down to receive the reward!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
At this time, Su Ming had just learned to walk. Seeing that the whole family was so happy, she ran to Mrs. Liu with a smile. Su Ning picked up her eldest son and said, "Su Ming, there is another baby in my mother's belly.
Do you want a little brother or a little sister?"
"Little brother! I want a little brother!"
"Haha, your mother must be pregnant with a little brother!"
...
Before Hu Weiyong set off for eastern Zhejiang, he first came to Li Shanchang. Seeing Hu Weiyong who had returned safely, Li Shanchang sighed helplessly.
"Hey! Weiyong, you are finally back."
"Brother Shan, I made you worry about me."
"Wei Yong, tell me honestly.
When you went to Yingzhou this time, what did you do?
How could the prince hate you so much?"
"Ah? Didn't you do anything?" Hu Weiyong looked a little confused, and then he could only guess and said, "Did I take it upon myself to accept Guo Zixing's adopted daughter as the prince?"
"impossible!
The prince is not a stingy person.
I will never hate you for this little thing." Li Shanchang shook his head firmly.
"That's..." Hu Weiyong thought of another thing at this time, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Li Shanchang also noticed the change in Hu Weiyong's expression, and then looked at Hu Weiyong eagerly, "Wei Yong, what else is going on?"
At this time, Hu Weiyong was really speechless, because he really couldn't tell him about his bribery, "Huh? Someone gave me some gifts along the way. I believe the prince will not know about it!"
"What? You actually accepted a bribe?"
"No!
They are just some very ordinary gifts, not considered bribery."
Looking at Hu Weiyong who was still arguing, how could Li Shanchang not understand what the so-called "ordinary gift" was? Then he just shook his head helplessly and finally understood the root cause.
"Wei Yong, why are you so confused!" Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong with hatred, "Don't you know the existence of Jin Yiwei?
What you think is a secret is just a joke like a clown in the eyes of the prince."
"Ah? Jin Yiwei?" Hu Weiyong's eyes widened in shock.
"Hmph! That's right!
It must be that your performance along the way was monitored by the Jin Yiwei and then reported to the prince.
Only then will I leave you in Yingzhou and teach you a lesson."
"Ah?" Hu Weiyong thought of the mysterious Jin Yiwei beside him, and at this time he also confirmed Li Shanchang's point of view in his heart.
"Hey! Now that the matter has come to this, you have also received the punishment you deserve. Hurry up and hand over the stolen goods.
Then try to handle things in eastern Zhejiang as beautifully as possible, and the prince will not hold on to it anymore." Li Shanchang sighed helplessly, and then continued to make suggestions for Hu Weiyong.
"This...Fang Guozhen may not agree to surrender, right?"
"Humph! Fang Guozhen is a short-sighted pirate, and he will definitely accept the prince's surrender." Li Shanchang was very confident about this trip to eastern Zhejiang, "Wei Yong, this time the prince is giving you a step down, so that you can
I leave you with such an easy task.
You must be frightened in the future and stop being greedy and excessive."
"Yes! Weiyong noted it down."
The next day, Hu Weiyong handed over all the bribes he had collected on the way to Yingzhou to Jinyiwei, and wrote down in detail when and where they were collected, and then headed for eastern Zhejiang without any worries.
After receiving the report from Jin Yiwei, Suning looked at the gold and silver jewelry in front of him and felt a little helpless. It is said that people die for wealth and birds die for food. Hu Weiyong had just begun to hold back his greed when he stepped onto the stage of history. If he waits until
It's okay to reach a high position completely.
Suning's rectification of Hu Weiyong this time is not to make a fuss, but because he is really disgusted with corruption. He may not be able to peel off the skin and cramps like Zhu Yuanzhang did in history, but he will definitely use endless methods to deal with corrupt officials, and even make corrupt officials feel that life is worse than death.
.
...
It is now the tenth year of Zhizheng, and more than a year has passed since the Red Flag Army rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty. Not only did they quickly occupy the richest areas in Jiangnan, they also firmly controlled it in their own hands.
"Your Majesty, the general would like to recommend some talents to you." Hu Dahai, who had been promoted to division commander of the Red Flag Army, came to Suning.
"Oh? Dahai, who do you want to recommend?" Suning looked at the tall and tall Hu Dahai in front of him, and was not fooled by his appearance. Instead, he knew that Hu Dahai was particularly thoughtful and shrewd.
"Your Majesty, I would like to recommend Liu Ji, Song Lian, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi."
"Ah?" Suning couldn't help but be surprised, because these are all top scholars.
Although Suning knew these people and knew that they were known as the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang", Suning could not help but be surprised.
"These people seem to be scholars. You actually know everything about the sea?"
"Haha, the reputation of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang" has spread widely, and Dahai happens to know a thing or two about it." Hu Dahai also felt a little embarrassed at this time.
"Yeah! Let's visit them in person tomorrow and see if we can invite them to our Red Flag Army."
"My lord, if you take action in person, they will definitely come happily."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case.
Scholars are all arrogant, especially these top scholars, sometimes they are really different from what we think."
The next day, Suning took Hu Dahai and his party to the "Four Talents in Western Zhejiang" for recruitment. It was indeed a sincere recruitment. His "enterprise" had grown bigger and stronger, and he really needed these "talents" to come forward.
When it comes to work, after all, it’s impossible for me, the boss, to take care of such a big business.
Suning looked at Hu Dahai who was guarding him, and felt more and more satisfied with this general. He accidentally saw the three young people beside Hu Dahai, because they were not wearing Red Flag Army uniforms, but Hu Dahai.
The ordinary clothes of a nephew.
"Haidai, who are these three?"
"Your Majesty, these are Dahai's three sons. Hu Sanshe and Hu Guanzhu are my biological sons, and Hu Deji is my adopted son.
I plan to let them join the Red Flag Army, which can be regarded as a kind of experience for them."
"Yeah! Very good!
The Red Flag Army has strict military regulations and they must abide by the law."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Thinking of what happened to Hu Sanshe in the original history of time and space, Suning couldn't help but feel a little sad. Today he reminded her intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that their father and son would listen.
Suning and his party first came to Liu Ji. After all, he was the most famous among the four, and Suning was also curious about what Liu Bowen, who would be promoted to the altar in later generations, looked like.
At this time, Liu Bowen was still called Liu Ji, and he came to Hangzhou to settle in the eighth year of Zhizheng. On February 2 of the ninth year of Zhizheng, the Red Flag Army raised the anti-Yuan flag. Liu Ji originally thought that the Red Flag Army would soon be deceived.
The Yuan army annihilated them.
Unexpectedly, the Red Flag Army suddenly emerged and quickly occupied the Jiangnan area, the richest area in China, and also signed a peace treaty with the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. Although all parties knew that this was just a delaying tactic for both sides, Liu Ji still admired the Red Flag Army's swiftness and strategy.
Because the Red Flag Army had more time to explore Jiangnan.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion came in and said to Liu Ji in the study, "Master, is there someone coming to visit outside the door?"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Master Hui, there is a warrior who calls himself Sizhou Hu Dahai, and he has brought many followers with him."
"Oh? Hu Dahai?" When Liu Ji thought about who Hu Dahai was, his heart immediately moved and he began to guess, "Please!"
"Yes! Master!"
When Liu Ji personally welcomed Hu Dahai into the door, of course he saw Suning standing in the C position for the first time, "Brother Hu Xian, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"
"Haha, I'm doing very well now!
He has joined the Red Flag Army with his brothers, and is now appointed as the division commander of the Red Flag Army."
"Commander?" Liu Ji has always felt that the military system of the Red Flag Army is a bit confusing, and it is very different from their usual habits as scholars.
"Yes! That's the teacher!
He has more than 10,000 soldiers, equivalent to 10,000 households in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"Oh? That's it!" Liu Ji then showed a clear expression.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, this is the bright king of our Red Flag Army.
This time I came here specially to invite Mr. Liu to be born."
"Ah? Your Majesty, Prince Ming, please forgive me for being so far away." Liu Ji quickly bowed to Suning in a fake manner.
"Haha, Mr. Liu is too polite.
Ever since I entered Jiqing Road, I have been hearing about the name of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang", especially Mr. Liu, the leader of the "Four Sages". Today, under the recommendation of Hu Dahai, I came here to invite Mr. Liu to join the Red Flag.
military."
"Haha, King Ming made a serious statement.
I just have a bad reputation among scholars, and I am not considered a great person.
As for being born and joining the Red Flag Army, don't mention it again." Liu Ji actually directly rejected Suning's invitation.
"Mr. Liu, actually before Hu Dahai mentioned you, I had heard others mention you, saying that you were a Jinshi of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and had always been loyal to the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
It turned out to be the case when I saw it today!" Suning had long expected Liu Ji's rejection, so he immediately attacked Liu Ji's army.
Liu Ji could also hear what Suning meant at this time. The Red Flag Army and the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were enemies. If Liu Ji was unwilling to become a member of the Red Flag Army, he must be the enemy of the Red Flag Army.
Liu Ji also didn't expect that Suning would be so direct and not give him a chance to argue with each other. This was so different from the "three visits to the thatched cottage" that Liu Ji imagined that he was a little stunned for a moment.
Hu Dahai also saw Liu Ji's dilemma, but he was not prepared to help him out, because he was a member of the Red Flag Army at this time, and of course it was impossible for him to do the same thing.
It took a while for Liu Ji to wake up from his daze and said, "Prince Ming, there must be some misunderstanding.
In the third year of the Zhengzheng period, I resigned and stayed home after serving as the deputy general of Zhejiang Province. How could I have my heart towards the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties? This is really nonsense."
"Haha, Dahai, you go out!
I want to talk to Mr. Liu alone." Seeing the tough-talking Liu Ji, Suning could only decide to make a bigger move.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Hu Dahai immediately accepted the order and left, and took Liu Ji's housekeeper out with him.
As Hu Dahai closed the door, Liu Ji looked at Suning nervously, "Prince Ming, what are you doing?"
"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Liu!
I just want to talk to Mr. Liu alone and don’t want others to come and disturb me.”
"Well?"
"Mr. Liu, in fact, I have known you a long time ago, and I know that you are from eastern Zhejiang, and you also have a grudge against Fang Guozhen, who now occupies eastern Zhejiang."
"What? Prince Ming actually knows about this?"
"Haha, Mr. Liu, I may know more than you think."
"Mr. Liu, you must also know that our Red Flag Army is negotiating with Fang Guozhen in eastern Zhejiang. Fang Guozhen has now put forward a condition that makes me very embarrassed.
Mr. Liu, do you think I should agree?"
Liu Ji already had a bad guess in his mind at this time. He swallowed hard and looked at Suning, "Your Majesty, what conditions did Fang Guozhen put forward?"
"The lives of the entire Liu family!"
"ah?"
Liu Ji was really stunned at this time. Whether this condition was proposed by Fang Guozhen or not, it was no longer important. Now that this condition came out of Ming Wang Suning's mouth, it immediately became a condition.
"Ahem! My wife Liu and I have grown up listening to your stories, so we really respect your talents and abilities."
"What?"
"Mr. Liu, our Red Flag Army really needs your joining so that the Red Flag Army can truly become bigger and stronger.
Mr. Liu, join our Red Flag Army!
Let’s work together to create the most ideal country.”
"Huh? My lord, you just said that you and your wife Liu grew up listening to my stories. Do I have such a high reputation in Shandong?"
"Haha, of course!
If my wife knew that I invited you back, she might be even happier than me."
Liu Ji saw that Suning didn't look like he was lying, and realized that Suning didn't need to lie to him about this matter, so he agreed without any retreat.
Suning also knew that when he told "Fang Guozhen's conditions", Liu Ji would have to join the Red Flag Army, so he was not excited about Liu Ji's agreement.
"Haha, welcome Mr. Liu to join our Red Flag Army.
The king will leave a company of Red Flag Army guards for Mr. Liu, numbering about one hundred and twenty people."
"Ah? So many people?"
"Haha, you should protect Mr. Liu."
"Thank you for your love, Your Majesty!"
"Well! I won't visit the other three of the "Four Sages of Western Zhejiang" one by one.
If I say any more conditions, don't scare them.
Mr. Liu, just take them to Jiqing Road together!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Liu Ji smiled bitterly at this time.
