Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 111 Jurchen
The warm sun in winter falls on Cao Xinyue's shoulders. The merchant ships of Cao's family at the busy ferry are loading and unloading cotton and other materials. The business given by Zhu Zhanchang has made the Cao family a lot of money. Can you be jealous.

My two aunts were not free during this time, and they kept creating rumors to frame Cao Xinyue and Chen Xu.

"Miss Cao's inventory has been completed, you can check it." The quartermaster had special respect for Cao Xinyue, because this was the person assigned by the emperor's grandson.

Cao Xinyue took the list and checked it carefully. Now her mother is not feeling well, and she is doing many things. She is careful and careful, and she has never made any mistakes.

After the verification was completed, the quartermaster took out a delicate whip from his clothes, mixed with red and black, and handed it to Cao Xinyue.

"This is what Eunuch Zhuang asked me to pass on to you. Eunuch Zhuang said that the Fifth Highness has been busy with his official business recently, but His Royal Highness still urged him to learn to ride horses. The Fifth His Highness thought the whip looked good, so he thought of bringing one to you."

Cao Xinyue took the whip and thanked him.

After the quartermaster left, he looked shyly at the exquisite whip in his hand. Although it was not a precious thing, he was thinking of himself in the end.

……

At the Royal Racecourse, Zhu Zhanchang was riding a horse full of complaints.

Recently, the army at the border has gone smoothly, and there is a good news that Prince Han relied on new firearms to capture Mahamu's young son alive without any effort. The overall situation is very good, and Zhu Zhanchang's assistance in supervising the country has become much easier.

Seeing that he became lazy again, Zhu Gaochi ordered him to ride a horse, because Zhu Zhanchang was not good at riding, it is estimated that Zhu Gaochi himself was reprimanded by Zhu Di for riding a horse since he was a child.

There is nothing he can do if he is not in good health. Zhu Zhanchang's body is so strong that he can't be as bad at riding as himself.

Zhu Zhanchang was quite helpless, but Zhu Gaochi also sent someone to supervise him. He was tired and sweaty. If it was a cold winter and a twelfth lunar month, he would almost get sick.

After wiping his sweat, Zhu Zhanchang asked, "Xiaosheng, did you send the whip you sent?"

"Sent to His Highness."

Zhu Zhanchang looked at the delicate pastries on the table again: "Send some of these to Li Xianyu at Lord Zheng He's house, and give the woodworking toy bought in the morning to Li Xiaozhu after returning to the palace."

"Follow your highness."

Zhu Zhanchang can have any bad thoughts, but he just wants to give every girl a home.

After training the horse, as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw the second brother Zhu Zhanxuan who was in a hurry.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

"The bandits in Jiangxi have been unhappy for a long time, and these people are not doing well. I will go to the military camp first."

Seeing the hurried look of the second brother, Zhu Zhanchang raised his head helplessly. The second brother is different from himself. Now that the current situation in the north is stable, the situation of our army is very good, and Zhu Zhanchang has less troubles.

However, Zhu Zhanyi took the bandit suppression in Jiangxi as his political achievement, and was a little stunned.

In the courtyard, the monk in black was already waiting for him here.

"Master, why are you here?"

"The matter of Dongying's spy is over, so I came here to report to His Highness."

"Sit first."

The two sat down, Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea: "The tea in His Royal Highness's courtyard is much better than before."

Zhu Zhanchang is very embarrassed, this monk despises his tea every day, and now this tea is sent by the Crown Princess.

"Master, how many Dongying spies have been caught?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled in satisfaction: "This time, there is an unexpected harvest. Twenty-five spies from Dongying and five spies from the Jurchen clan in Jianzhou were captured."

"Jurchen?!" Zhu Zhanchang almost exclaimed, how come there is still something about the Jurchen family.

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "Before everyone thought that the spies arrested this time were only from Dongying, but the young man who insisted that Li Quan was the leader of this incident was actually a Jurchen. According to his confession, the Jurchen family had connections with General Dongying, and plan together."

Zhu Zhanchang raised his brows and thought deeply, how could the two of them get together because of the ambition of the Jurchen wolf?

Yao Guangxiao smiled disdainfully: "It's funny, Your Highness, do you know why that young man insisted that Li Quan was the leader of this incident?"

Shaking his head, expressing doubt.

"The cooperation between Jurchen and Dongying has just started, and these spies don't trust each other. In this incident, Dongying sent two new spies to command them, and they were the two who committed suicide. Therefore, Dongying's spies all identified the two as commanders."

"However, when Dongying spies communicated internally, they all spoke Dongying dialects, and they did not let the Jurchen know, and Li Quan was instructed to pass the word. , the spies of the Jurchen clan were also brought out."

This kind of temporary spies alliance is not reliable, and spies who marry and have children locally have a lot of scruples. This kind of assassination wants to break through the high walls of the Daming Imperial City.

What everyone is worried about is not these low-level details.

"Master, have you caught a big fish?"

Yao Guangxiao nodded: "This matter also involves the fact that the two officials are the two officials who were bribed by Yingtian Mansion. They are not of high rank and have little real power. Fortunately, they were caught in time. "

"It's good to catch them all."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head again: "The leader of the Jurchen spy is an old-fashioned and cunning person. He slipped away when he got wind of it, and now he can't find anyone, and according to the confession of the Jurchen spy, a young man occasionally appears beside their leader. A beautiful woman, these two have not been caught yet, but they will startle the snake first, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find."

"Such a cautious spy is the most troublesome. I don't know if there is any information on him that has not been dug up."

"Young and beautiful woman?" Zhu Zhanchang murmured.

"How old is that woman?"

Yao Guangxiao is satisfied with Zhu Zhanyan's reaction: "According to the account, she is between 16 and [-] years old, but every time we meet, I wear a veil, and no one else can see her face clearly, but I guess she should be a beautiful woman because of her attire. .”

"It's too broad, and it's hard to find anything without features."

"Yes, Jurchen spies are more careful. Looking for these two people now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What the poor monk is afraid of is that the beautiful woman will seduce me with sex and deceive my ministers."

Ordinarily, these foreigners, even if they took root in the Ming Dynasty and reproduced their descendants, it is very difficult to enter the imperial court or enter the key departments. , such people are rare.

On the contrary, women are simpler, and there are always some lustful people who are tempted by lust and will be controlled.

"Master, the spies of the two Jurchen clan still have to continue their investigation. The other information should be handed over to father and grandfather. As for those spies and their family members, we will deal with them after the grandfather returns."

Yao Guangxiao took another sip of tea: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Punishment has already executed all of them."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanchang was stunned. These people counted at least a hundred people in Daming's family, and they were all executed without his knowledge, which made him a little overwhelmed.

These spies should be damned, but the spies' family who got married and had children in Daming did not know the inside story, which made him a little unsure.

Looking at Zhu Zhanchang's stunned expression, Yao Guangxiao had expected it long ago: "Your Highness, the law stipulates the law, and the poor monk heard from the people in the Punishment Department that His Highness had promised to keep Li Quan's wife and children unharmed, and specially kept them there. Nanfa is allocated [-] li, your Highness is not a blunder."

This old monk is scheming, no wonder Zhu Di trusts him so much, a gentleman is hard to follow, and he carefully preserved Zhu Zhanchang's promise.

This is also the reason why he blamed the minister of punishment for letting Zhu Zhanchang try the case himself.

In the trial of cases, coercion and inducement, it is not uncommon to make promises. The little officials of the Punishment Department can not keep their promises, but Zhu Zhanchang can't, because of his status and status, he cannot be realistic.

Those who can share the emperor's worries are important ministers, and those who can bear the blame for the emperor are trusted officials.

Yao Guangxiao knew what Zhu Di wanted and what Zhu Gaochi wanted. It is impossible for these spies and their families to leave their lives, and if there is trouble, there will be endless trouble.

But Rende is Zhu Gaochi's character. Many of these spies are people of Daming. Zhu Gaochi can't give this order, Zhu Di can give it, but it will leave a stain on the emperor.

If this black cauldron does not dare to recite it, Yao Guangxiao will recite it.

Any emperor would like to have such a minister by his side.

Zhu Zhanchang poured a cup of tea for Yao Guangxiao: "Master has worked hard."

"Your Highness has also worked hard."

The two raised their glasses and saluted each other.

Chu Er waited on the side, heard all the words, and after Yao Guangxiao left, he started talking to Xiaosheng: "This master was too cruel, he killed hundreds of people at once, many of them were women and children of our Ming Dynasty. "

Xiaosheng made a gesture of silence: "You can't talk nonsense, you must remember that in the future, the conversation between His Royal Highness and the master and others will be heard when you are waiting on the side, but you must not talk to others, let alone gossip. Spread the word, or you won't know how you died."

Chu Er was shocked: "His Royal Highness is not such a person. Sang Yu often chats about harem gossip, and His Highness has never blamed him."

"Can that be the same? Sang Yu is talking about gossip that doesn't hurt or itches. What you just said can be beheaded. You are His Highness's personal maid. If you can't keep your mouth shut, His Highness will definitely replace you."

"I know, I know." Chu'er was a little impatient.

Xiaosheng sighed and reminded: "Hey, our highness is not the old highness, and the news you heard is not the useless news of the past. If some things are leaked, it will be detrimental to everyone."

"Understood, how can you be as long-winded as an old man."

Xiaosheng looked at the figure of the prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao, and murmured, "It is the ultimate to be a courtier to do this."

"Just now, Your Highness, they said that there is a beautiful woman who is a Jurchen spy. I don't know if she has infiltrated the mansion of a high-ranking official. Is it necessary to investigate it strictly." The little palace maid did not have the same thoughts as Yao Guangxiao.

"do not know."

Chu Er continued to speak innocently: "The high-ranking officials are all powerful, and I haven't seen anything before. Is there anyone else who would be fascinated by the little girl? How beautiful does this have to be? How colorful does it have to be?"

……

Outside the Shuntian Mansion, a group of foreigners with long braids were walking slowly.
