Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 502 Penghu County Magistrate

"Please also ask Duke Wei to make it clear."

The more Wei Zhongxian behaves like this, the more suspicious Yu Zigao becomes. Today's situation is unusual, especially the eunuchs who came in with Wei Zhongxian. They all look at him from time to time, which makes Yu Zigao feel a little hairy.

"Come and sit."

Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry. He smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "There are no outsiders today. Please sit down."

With that said, Wei Zhongxian rolled up his sleeves and sat on the main seat.

Li Yongzhen sat on the right hand seat.

As for the other eunuchs in charge, they sat in their seats one by one, leaving only the left hand seat.

This……

Yu Zigao's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Vice President Yu, why are you still standing there?"

"Here!"

"Then it would be rude of you, general."

Ji Yong held the wine pot and seemed dissatisfied with the wine cup he was using, so he said to the outside of the hall: "Come here, bring me a big tea bowl. It's really awkward to drink from this wine cup."

Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting firmly in the main seat, saw the scene in front of him and said nothing else. When he looked into Li Yongzhen's eyes, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He, Yu Zigao, was the deputy chief military officer of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and it was true that he was the son of Yu Dayou, but he, Yu Zigao, knew the tricks of the officialdom better than anyone else.

"Haha~"

"That's right."

Yes.

Seeing this, Yu Zigao raised his hand and saluted, then walked towards the empty seat.

Especially in the atmosphere where the nobles and the military are humble, what about the generals who command the army?

You should bow your head when you should bow your head.

There was some laughter during the meal.

Where is this fuss going on?

Yu Zigao frowned slightly, obviously not mentally prepared for the scene in front of him. No matter who encounters such a situation, they will feel guilty in their hearts.

Yu Zigao, who was sitting on pins and needles, forced out a smile and said: "The general is a rough man. He likes to drink too much..."

This is still facing civil servants.

"This father-in-law is joking."

Ge Jiusi smiled, looked at Yu Zigao and said, "My family has heard that Governor Wei said that Vice President Yu has a lot of soldiers. Today we would like to learn from him."

Otherwise, just wait to be tripped up.

"If you can drink it, you can drink it. Why do you need to be so coquettish about it?"

Ji Yong picked up the wine pot and glanced at Yu Zigao, "You, this distinguished guest, are not sitting down. If you ask us to wait, are you drinking? Or are you not drinking?"

The soldiers standing outside the hall were busy bowing in response.

Meeting the powerful eunuchs in the inner court is another situation.

Today's game was deliberately arranged by him.

Especially when he met Yu Zigao, Wei Zhongxian felt that his previous decision was right. He first tested Yu Zigao's personality and then promulgated his decree. In the final analysis, he left the Ming Dynasty and went to Dongfan to develop maritime power, and even It was too big a deal to set foot in the Southeast Asian countries.

If Yu Zigao was really a loser, Wei Zhongxian would never let him shoulder the heavy burden.

At the beginning of the wine party in Guanyi, there was actually a farewell wine, which was held at a pier in Fuzhou Prefecture.

The sun is high in the sky.

The wind blowing was cold.

"Zou County Magistrate, I am going to serve in Penghu. I should familiarize myself with the people of Penghu as soon as possible." Cao Huachun, wearing a red python robe, looked at Zou Weilian with a bowl of wine in his hand and said.

"By next month at the latest, our family will lead a team to Penghu. At that time, a fleet will be stationed in Penghu. However, if we want to launch an anti-smuggling operation in Penghu, we still need Zouzhi County to investigate clearly."

"This county will do its best to handle matters within its scope." Zou Weilian, who was also holding a wine bowl, looked very calm and said as he faced Cao Huachun's gaze.

It's really not simple.

Looking at Zou Weilian's performance, Cao Huachun secretly lamented that no matter who was transferred from the post of head of the Nanjing Military Department to Penghu to serve as county magistrate, there would be dissatisfaction, not to mention that Penghu was still a lower county.

Although Zou Weilian's position as chief officer has been retained, in any case, this is regarded as devolution in the eyes of outsiders. Even if he serves in the Nanjing Ministry of War, it is far less promising than serving in the Beijing Ministry of War, but at least he will be in Nanjing, but Zou Weilian is taking over. After receiving the decree, there was no excuse at all, let alone hanging up the seal and leaving. Instead, he packed his bags and headed south to Fujian.

"Eunuch Cao, I have a doubt."

While Cao Huachun was thinking, Zou Weilian frowned and asked.

"Zou Zhixian, please speak."

Cao Huachun said with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty ordered you to go south to Fujian, maybe it's not for the purpose of sending out guard eunuchs, right?"

Zou Weilian asked unabashedly.

What a straight person.

Cao Huachun was filled with emotion, but he said: "When our family went to Nanjing, the decree issued to Zouzhi County was already very clear."

"Is it just for anti-smuggling?"

Zou Weilian said, "If this is really the case, then why let so many people from the inner court go south?"

There has always been a doubt in Zou Weilian's heart.

Wei Zhongxian and others followed the order to go south. What was their purpose?

As the head of the Ministry of War, he was doing a good job in Nanjing without showing off, so how could he attract the emperor's attention?

A master of the sixth grade is not yet capable of attracting attention today.

Zou Weilian still has this kind of self-knowledge.

What's more, under the decree he received, he also had a privilege!

That is to say, a secret memorial was submitted to Beijing.

This has only happened since Emperor Yuji ascended the throne.

Zou Weilian had only heard of it before.

"When the time is right, Zou Zhixian will know everything."

Cao Huachun paused, looked at Zou Weilian and said, "What Zou Zhixian wants to do right now is how to control the actual situation in Penghu County as soon as possible, especially who are the Western Yi merchants heading north through Penghu County."

It seems like it's not a small matter.

When Zou Weilian heard this, he became even more determined about what he was thinking.

"The county knows."

Zou Weilian nodded.

"Then our family will just wait for good news from Zouzhi County."

Cao Huachun smiled, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and said to Zou Weilian: "I wish Zou Zhixian a safe arrival."

"Thank you, Eunuch Cao, for your words."

Zou Weilian raised his wine bowl.

As the wine in the bowl was finished, Zou Weilian handed the bowl to someone, then lifted up his sleeves, saluted Cao Huachun, then turned and walked towards the docked ship.

Zou Weilian went to Penghu, I'm afraid some people may have guessed something.

Looking at Zou Weilian's leaving figure, Cao Huachun felt a sense of emotion in his heart, and his expression seemed a little complicated. Recalling the various behaviors of some people all the way to Fujian, especially after arriving in Fujian, Cao Huachun knew what he was doing following Wei Zhongxian. A tough one.

It's just that as the emperor's domestic slaves, no matter what the emperor wants them to do, even if it means going up mountains of swords and down seas of fire, they must do it unswervingly.

Dongfan, what is there there that can make the emperor think so deeply.

When he saw Zou Weilian boarding the ship, Cao Huachun couldn't help but frown slightly. Even if there were many treasures hidden in Nanyang, could it be as rich as the Ming Dynasty? There were too many doubts in his mind.
