Chapter 461: The King and His Ministers Sing, and Master Ding Changes
Jiang Qingzhi was not in the capital, and the ministers launched a tidal wave of attacks, but the Taoist watched coldly. With the Yan Party as a barrier, he only needed to give some pointers, or give a helping hand or a slap in the face, to control the situation.
The ministers and the Yan Party fought evenly. Someone said, "Without Jiang Qingzhi, we have one less reason to attack."
Yes!
When Jiang Qingzhi was gone, the Mohist school also stopped its activities and honestly taught and educated people in Xin'an Lane, leaving no room for excuses.
So the ministers also calmed down. They were accumulating strength, waiting for Jiang Qingzhi to come back and give him a heavy blow.
Jiang Qingzhi is back.
They launched an attack immediately, not even giving him a chance to wash off the dust of the journey.
That impatient feeling of hunger reminds people of animals.
Mangrui will definitely raise a large army to retaliate!
Both the military merit and the Confucian school came to this conclusion based on the analysis of the good news.
The situation in Yunnan is still unstable at the moment, and even the southwest is no match for us.
Southwestern erosion is just around the corner.
What are you waiting for?
They launched an offensive in groups, not to impeach, but to stab people directly.
——If the southwest is corrupted because of this, you, Jiang Qingzhi, will be the sinner!
What should sinners do?
How much blame does the Southwest have for corruption?
Is it exile or banishment?
For example, like Yang Shen, he could just send Jiang Qingzhi to a garrison in Yunnan and not pardon him even if he was pardoned.
Let him eat mushrooms for the rest of his life…someone whispered.
But when the man in gorgeous clothes knelt down and introduced himself as Mang Shwe Ti, the king of Toungoo, all the attacks turned into flowing water and dissipated in an instant.
Mang Ruiti lowered his head, his body trembling. He was not afraid, but felt humiliated.
This powerful ruler of the Indochina Peninsula once looked down upon the world and made his neighbors tremble in fear, but now he knelt in front of Emperor Jiajing and called himself a sinner.
Emperor Jiajing looked at Mang Ruiti, then at his ministers, and said, "Mang Ruiti claims to be the head of a country. This is treason!"
After establishing his country, Mangruiti did not publicize its independence from the Ming Dynasty, but from then on all the Ming Dynasty's orders became waste paper. Both sides knew that if the other side had the chance, they would definitely kill them.
And one sentence from Emperor Jiajing defined Mangrui's character.
Rebellious!
The Central Plains dynasties had always been quite tolerant of rebellion, rarely executing them, and most of them stayed in the capital. On important occasions and banquets, they would be dragged out to dance and entertain.
By the way, let the foreign envoys see it and remind them when they go back: the boss is still the boss.
"I ordered Lord Changwei to bring him here quietly to give you a surprise." The Jiajing Emperor raised his lips slightly, "Are you surprised?"
He looked down from a high position, and was more surprised than happy.
Their offensive was like a torrent, and they had accumulated a huge amount of energy, just waiting to be released and burst out... But after the Mangrui body appeared, the torrent suddenly burst out.
"Hahahaha!"
The silence was broken by laughter.
Emperor Jiajing frowned and looked over, and it turned out to be Zhu Xizhong.
The old playboy was laughing wildly. After being looked at by the Taoist, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mangrui is here. There must be undercurrents in Toungoo at this moment. In two or three years, or even within three to five years, Yunnan will be worry-free. It's a good time to clean up.
Recovering Yunnan, defeating Toungoo, and capturing the rebels in front of the emperor, these are grand events of the Han and Tang dynasties. Such grand events are happening in my Ming Dynasty today, which is a great auspicious sign! I congratulate your majesty, and I congratulate the Ming Dynasty! "
All the ministers stood up and saluted. No matter how reluctant they were, they bowed their heads and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!"
And the instigator of all this was sitting at the table and eating.
Long-lost bear paw!
Have to eat more.
This is... isn't this a roasted turtledove?
Turtle doves in the sky and bamboo rats on the ground, what a delicacy!
Jiang Qingzhi ate heartily.
He suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet, and when he looked up, everyone was staring at him.
The words of the Taoist priest came slowly, "…This is a great achievement. I wanted to reward him, but he is still young. Young people will be complacent about this. I am not afraid of complacency. If young people are not complacent and become depressed, I will be worried.
I am worried that he will be satisfied with this. The Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, and many things need to be done by young people. We need to teach them a lesson and spur them on..."
Listen!
Listen!
Jiang Qingzhi has made great contributions this time. Even if I reward him with the title of Duke, do you dare to question it?
But I suppress him, why?
It's because I still want to continue to use him. If I make him a Duke early, there will be nothing left to reward him with...
At some point, the father-in-law actually sat next to Jiang Qingzhi, which was a yellow card move, offside. But the censor turned a blind eye.
Li Huan whispered, "Someone just suggested that you be made Duke."
"Fuck! Who wants to harm me?" Jiang Qingzhi cursed.
"Hmm!" The Taoist glanced at him, and Jiang Qingzhi lowered his head and continued eating.
With Master Dao around, he has nothing to worry about.
The Taoist's words convinced all the officials, but they could not describe the feeling in their hearts.
Conferring the title of Duke on Jiang Qingzhi was a form of flattery, and it was also a move they had prepared.
But the Taoist priest easily resolved the problem and also laid the groundwork for his continued use of Jiang Qingzhi.
Playing this with His Majesty... Huang Jin lowered his head and sighed.
Jiang Qingzhi wanted to continue eating and drinking, but Li Huan first praised his daughter's virtue and then asked about the issue of offspring with a worried look on his face.
Jiang Qingzhi's head was covered with bruises, and he wished he could drag Uncle Ding out and whip his corpse.
hum!
Just as he was thinking about it, his mind suddenly shook.
The big cauldron actually began to turn slowly.
Oh my god!
Jiang Qingzhi wished he could fly back home immediately.
While my father-in-law was still nagging in my ear, the first person to toast appeared.
"Chang Wei Bo has made great contributions to the cause. I would like to offer a toast to you."
This wine must be drunk.
Then people kept toasting him, and soon Jiang Qingzhi's eyes became blurry.
"I can't hold my liquor." The old dandy appeared, toasting to the ministers. Then Wang Yiqi and others appeared...
The music was soothing and relaxing. In the center, Mang Ruiti was dancing to liven up the atmosphere. For a moment, Emperor Jiajing felt like he was drunk.
He raised his wine glass and saw his cousin being supported by someone. That person... that person spared no effort in impeaching Jiang Qingzhi last year. What was he trying to do?
The fellow poured Jiang Qingzhi a glass of wine, poured himself three glasses, stood up, bowed, and returned to his seat in silence.
Someone raised his glass to Jiang Qingzhi from a distance and drank it all in one gulp.
Someone drank too much and stood up to sing, but the songs he sang were border poems from the Han and Tang dynasties.
"The harsh wind blows the frost and the seaweed withers, and the sinews are strong and strong, and the horses are proud."
The old playboy got drunk and grabbed Yan Song, forcing him to sing with him.
Old Yan Song opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, feeling a little ashamed of losing his dignity, and finally sang loudly, "Three hundred thousand Han warriors, the general also led Huo, Piao and Yao..."
"The white feather of shooting star is inserted on the waist, the sword flower and autumn lotus light are out of the box." This is Yan Shifan. While singing softly, he looked at Jiang Qingzhi who was forced to drink with envy.
At this moment, he was extremely envious of this young man whom he regarded as his rival.
If possible, he also wanted to go to the border, lead the army to defeat the foreign royal court, and seal the Wolf's Lair.
"The enemy can be destroyed, the flags can be destroyed, and we can step on the intestines and wade through the blood of the barbarians." The Taoist priest sang in a low voice.
The sound gradually became louder.
Jiang Qingzhi specially found a woman who could dance in Yunnan and asked her to follow him all the way. She did nothing else but teach him Mangrui dance.
Mangrui, who was dancing passionately to forget his shame, was awakened by the singing.
He looked up and watched in panic as Emperor Jiajing stood up from the throne.
He turned around and saw many officials standing up.
Everyone had the same expression.
proud!
They are singing loudly.
"Hang the Hu in the blue sky, bury the Hu beside the purple pass.
Without the Hu people, the Han Dynasty will flourish!"
……
Jiang Qingzhi was drunk and sent home in a carriage.
Li Tian, who came with her family to greet them, couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw her husband being helped out of the car.
"Hurry and send it to the backyard."
The neighbors were all there, and everyone had prepared a bunch of nice words, but the host was drunk and passed out.
"The warriors have returned victoriously, and we should comfort them with songs and dances, and reward them with food." An old man said, "The Lord has made a great show of power in the south this time, and the people of Xin'an Lane are proud of it. That's enough!"
Li Tian squatted down and said, "Today, my family has prepared some wine and food. If you don't mind, I'd like to invite all the neighbors to come and have a gathering later."
"Okay, I'll definitely come." The old man nodded.
Jiang Qingzhi lay unconscious on the bed, the big tripod in his mind still turning slowly.
Rays of light continued to spread throughout the space, and the weak spots were constantly repaired and gradually became thicker.
The glow was originally white, but gradually it changed.
There was a hint of majesty in the glow, and the big cauldron suddenly soared into the air.
The glow became more and more dense, spreading in all directions.
The string of numbers on the cauldron became clearer and clearer.
The verdigris gradually became brighter and it actually looked not like rust but a kind of magical metal.
Suddenly the big cauldron shook violently.
Jiang Qingzhi is snoring.
He opened his eyes blankly and muttered, "Earthquake? What magnitude? Oh, sleep..."
The cauldron in my mind stopped spinning, and the light turned into light purple.
The lavender light continued to spread out, and the large cauldron hanging in the air was shrouded in this light, looking majestic and solemn.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the entire space was filled with light purple, the big cauldron slowly fell down.
The lavender halo was absorbed by the space, and the copper-green gradually returned to its original appearance. But if Jiang Qingzhi looked carefully, he would find that deep in the copper-green, a purple halo was moving rhythmically...
It seems like something is gestating.
It seemed as if it was preparing to burst out something...
There was a bang.
The space shook for a moment, then calmed down.
It was already midnight when Jiang Qingzhi woke up.
"water!"
He felt like his throat was smoking and his stomach was churning.
Someone handed him a cup of water. Jiang Qingzhi took it and drank a few sips. "Any more?"
The teapot was handed over and Jiang Qingzhi took it and drank it.
"Comfortable!" He put down the teapot and found himself at home, with Li Tian sitting next to him.
"You go to sleep first." Jiang Qingzhi had to pee so badly that he went out in a hurry.
After peeing in the toilet, Jiang Qingzhi just walked out when he felt that Ding Ye in his mind began to speed up...
What the hell!
I'm coming!
Jiang Qingzhi hurried to the forbidden area.
He just sat on the steps and closed his eyes.
In my mind, the cauldron was spinning faster and faster...
