Chapter 310: If You Want Others to Don't Know, Don't Do It
After Yuan Keli got the emperor's secret letter, he took a deep breath while reading it. He couldn't believe that this was the master of Ming Zhongxing who he wanted to follow after leaving his family and career.Every breath that comes out between the lines is full of cunning, cruelty and evil, and there is no trace of the Holy Lord Silk Renjun.

But no matter how disgusted he was, he had to admit that the emperor was thinking about Ming Dynasty and had completely put aside personal gains and losses in order to achieve his goals.From this perspective, the emperor is very close to the benevolent emperor.From which angle should he make a judgment? Yuan Keli couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just like destroying Thang Long Palace and Hue City, sometimes I feel that doing so is not in compliance with God's will, let alone the behavior of a gentleman.But thinking about how the people of the Ming Dynasty will benefit from this, live and work in peace and contentment, and feel that there is a way to survive, even if tens of thousands of people die, I have to bear the responsibility.

In the seventh year of Jingyang, in the summer of 1611 AD, Thang Long Mansion, the capital of Annan, was attacked by pirates. The city was destroyed, the palace was burned, and the treasures of the treasury were looted.King Le Dui Xin of the Le Dynasty, together with more than [-] concubines and ministers in the harem, were all kidnapped and their whereabouts are unknown.

Although the destruction of the country's capital and the arrest of the king was a major event, Annan was located in a corner and the country was small and weak. Apart from the chaos in the country, it did not attract the attention of all parties, such as the behemoths around him.

But in June, a sea-going ship from Annan State entered Guangzhou Port, carrying a tribute envoy from the Li Dynasty who had not been seen for seven or eight years.However, in addition to paying tribute this time, Annan's envoy also submitted a complaint to the Chief Envoy of Guangdong, accusing the Ming Navy of pretending to be an imperial envoy, raiding the capital, kidnapping the king, and extorting money.

It was Hu Guifang, the political envoy from the left, who received the Li tribute envoy. After reading the complaint and asking detailed questions, he pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision to personally escort the Li tribute envoy to Beijing to meet the saint.

There had been rumors in the DPRK that he would be transferred to Henan after this year's external inspection. This was also the result he had been looking forward to.Since Yuan Yingtai arrived in Guangzhou, his authority as the leftist envoy has been fully challenged. When the New Deal was gradually rolled out, he was simply pushed to the edge and no one cared about it.

Regardless of whether they were active or passive, the chief officials of the prefectures and counties in Guangdong had to side with Yuan Yingtai. After all, political performance was the most important thing.If the people under someone else's rule all live and work in peace and contentment, and taxes on food, grain, and money are constantly rising, but there is no improvement under your own rule, no matter how decent your style is and how honest your official voice is, you may not be able to do it for long.

Faced with this situation, Hu Guifang was powerless even if she wanted to resist.The New Deal was unable to oppose it, and Li Zhi and Yuan Yingtai were unable to impeach them, so they could only leave in despair.This is still the best situation. According to friends in the DPRK, if His Majesty had not been lenient, he would have been impeached and resigned.

Just one act of not supporting the New Deal is playing against the emperor.It’s okay for you to be an honest and clean official, but can you ensure that your family and relatives are all like this?
The current emperor does not take the ordinary path at all. Anyone who blocks the way of the New Deal will be punished.No matter how hard you look, you can always find mistakes and punish them, so there are not only one or two officials who have been demoted and resigned in despair.

But no one is a sage, and no one can be angry yet.Hu Guifang never felt that she was wrong, let alone that the New Deal was a good thing that benefited the country and the people.Although the emperor did not publicly avenge his personal hatred, he still had resentment in his heart.

This time it was good, I finally got the handle.The mighty Ming Dynasty navy actually sent troops to pretend to be imperial envoys to rob the vassal state, destroyed their capital, captured their king's ministers, and extorted money.Is there any other way to do this!I don’t want the face of the Heavenly Kingdom anymore!If you continue to ignore it, you will be a useless person!
What?Is this true?Will the Li tribute envoy admit the wrong person?I bother!There are not only human witnesses but also physical evidence. The kind of half-body armor that looks like a tortoise shell is only available in the Ming Dynasty army besides the navy and the Royal Horse Guards. Outsiders cannot imitate it.

In fact, Hu Guifang had already thought of the navy ever since she saw the description of the pirates' appearance in the complaint.He wears black clothes, black trousers, a round helmet, half-armor and leather boots, and a musket slung across his back.If you go to Lingdingyang, you can see this kind of dress in the navy water village. If you are lucky, you can also see it in Guangzhou city. There is no other semicolon but this one.This time we must unite with people of insight to expose what the navy has done face to face in the court.Of course, there is a high probability that the emperor will not take the initiative to take responsibility for his ministers. The naval governor is the real owner.But as long as Yuan Keli can be brought down and the Navy can be abolished, it will be considered a huge victory.

Without the support of the navy, and relying only on the Royal Horse Guards and the Royal Guards, the emperor did not have enough confidence to stand up to the officials in the court and had to make concessions on many issues, such as the New Deal and the opening of the sea.

Yuan Keli returned to Tianjin Wei more than a month before Li's tribute envoy. All the spoils and hostages were sent to Haiyangdao Shuizhai first, and then he went to the palace without stopping to give a detailed report to the saint.

"It's a small country with constant wars, but it can still have such a rich family fortune. It seems that supporting war through war is indeed a good way to get rich... I will take [-]% of the wealth from this. Although I have not personally commanded the front line, I have also contributed to the navy. I have come up with a lot of ideas, just think of it as my salary for making suggestions.”

After hearing the detailed process, the emperor took a good look at the list of trophies. His eyes widened and his saliva almost flowed out. In the end, he couldn't hold back his greed and Chi Guoguo asked for a share.

"I will go back and do a careful inventory, sort and pack them into boxes and send them to the palace as soon as possible. There will be no secrets!" Hearing the emperor's words, Yuan Keli's little care, which was still in the air, finally fell to the ground.

The emperor's face may seem greedy, but in fact it is the best safety guarantee for his subordinates.Of course, only accomplices are eligible for the so-called sharing of spoils. If you don't get any loot, you will have other ideas.For example, if a problem arises, it can be brushed aside and all responsibilities will be borne by subordinates.

"Brothers are still settling accounts. I only want what is within my share, and I will not take any more. The rest will be left to the navy to handle and sell off as soon as possible for military expenses.

But I still have to say it again, no one should get involved with this money except to provide compensation for the wounded and wounded soldiers. I will not be stingy with what I should give, and I will not take a copper plate that should not be taken.Public is public and private is private. Not only must you be able to distinguish clearly, but your subordinates must also be able to distinguish clearly. "

Hong Tao immediately rejected this suggestion. At present, the internal funds were enough, so there was no need to reach out to the navy.However, considering that many officers and soldiers in the navy are pirates and are more greedy and courageous than ordinary people, Yuan Keli still needs to be reminded to pay attention to monitoring this aspect and not to mess with the rules.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have handed over the accounts and warehouses to the staff, and all money in and out will be recorded clearly." Yuan Keli did not think that the emperor was verbose or suspicious. If the navy drank the blood of the soldiers like the Beijing camp and the frontier army, , he will not take up this position.
