Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 270 The danger of Queen Ma and Zhu Xiongying, the Emperor’s method to break the situation
Beggar Clan Headquarters.

Fourth Master Zhu found Zhang Dingbian and discussed with him about selling weapons to Japan and the Northern Dynasties.

According to his idea, he would use the two captured Japanese people to contact Ashikaga Takauji, the shogunate of the Northern Dynasties, and then sell them weapons. Sell ​​small quantities at first, and keep asking for more as their demand increases. Finally, we need to find a port in Guanzhong, Japan, near Chiba Island, and set aside a piece of land for the Daming Trading Company. Based on this territory, we can slowly and gradually encroach on Japan.

"Gang leader, you are still smart." Zhang Dingbian praised.

"The imperial court will support the Southern Dynasty and recognize that they are the orthodox ones, and let the Southern Dynasty buy weapons from the imperial court." Fourth Master Zhu shrugged, "Let them fight internally. If there is an overwhelming advantage over there, you can help secretly. Weak person, anyway, when you put on the official uniform, you represent the Ming Dynasty, and when you take off the official uniform, you represent the people of the Ming Trading Company. "

"I'll do it now." Zhang Dingbian nodded.

"You first bring those two Japanese people out and put on a show to make them think you rescued them." Fourth Master Zhu said.

"This is easy to handle." Zhang Dingbian took the order and left.

Fourth Master Zhu continued to wait at the main altar. He still had something to ask the two Japanese people. He was drinking alone in the house, recalling that ten years ago, when he first entered the capital, there was really nothing.

He never expected that ten years later, he would become the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. With the blessing of the Book of Luck in his mind, he thought that not only would he make Ming strong, he would also pursue immortality. This Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty in history. It is like the Ming Dynasty in another time and space. There are more than one people who lived for a hundred or two hundred years.

Liu Shengbing began to talk eloquently, and his Chinese language was quite fluent. After listening to his narrative, Fourth Master Zhu had a general understanding of the current situation in Japan.

"Greetings to the gang leader!" One of the Japanese saluted respectfully, "My name is Yagyu Bing, from the Yagyu family in Japan. This is my companion, Iga ninja Ueno."

He came to the second floor and was about to find someone to ask about the situation, but saw that Queen Ma was still there. He asked doubtfully: "It's so late, why don't you go back to the palace?"

After he continued to ask some questions, he asked Zhang Dingbian to take the two of them down. He planned to settle them first and set off for Japan after spring.

"You'll know if you've been to Japan." Liu Shengbing snorted indifferently.

"There will be a chance. After all, we have to cooperate." A sneer flashed at the corner of Mr. Zhu's mouth.

"I just feel the cold, it's not a problem." Queen Ma waved her hand.

……

"Are you sick?" Fourth Master Zhu asked worriedly.

"Greetings to the Supreme Emperor." Empress Ma bowed and spread her hands with a smile, "Businessmen from the West and Southeast Asia will come to place orders after the spring begins, so don't waste time... ahem..."

……

He was thinking in his mind, but continued to ask: "Tell me about your Japanese martial arts world? I heard that there are masters such as sword masters and ninjas. Are they really powerful?"

"Very good, we are capable of providing the weapons you need." Fourth Master Zhu said in a deep voice, "Now, please tell me in detail the current situation in Japan."

dusk.

"Why don't you meet our gang leader quickly?" Zhang Dingbian ordered coldly.

"Then it's time to help the Southern Dynasty." Fourth Master Zhu muttered in his heart, "The imperial court must contact the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible. Didn't Prince Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty send a letter?"

It turns out that Ashikaga Takauji has passed away, and the current shogun of the Northern Dynasties is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the grandson of Ashikaga Takauji. This young talent who succeeded the shogunate at the age of eleven led the Northern Dynasties to develop rapidly. His army had defeated the Southern Dynasty general Kikuchi Takemitsu and captured Dazaifu. The Southern Dynasty was now retreating steadily.

After coming out of the Beggar Clan Headquarters, he came to the Daming Textile Factory. Since Huang Lvhe went to Beiping City, the place is now presided over by Queen Ma, and it still seems to be tight and organized.

Zhang Dingbian led two Japanese people to appear in front of Fourth Master Zhu. In order to avoid revealing his identity, Fourth Master Zhu deliberately put on a mask because he had met these two people before in prison.

As soon as Liu Shengbing heard this question, his expression immediately became excited, and he said proudly: "Of course it is powerful, much better than the Ming Dynasty you guys. We not only have sword masters and ninjas, but also gods such as boxing gods and Wujue gods. Master."

"Humph, you are really a frog in the well." Zhang Dingbian cursed disdainfully.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned, it would soon be the eleventh year of Hongwu, and history books recorded that Queen Ma died in the fifteenth year of Hongwu. Don't let this happen, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will lose a worthy queen and the Zhu family will lose a head.

But how can we prevent her from passing away?

Fourth Master Zhu already had several plans in mind. If it was a disease, then he had to take precautions. In the end, if he was really sick, he could still use some elixirs or even Confucian and Taoist techniques to save him. If that doesn't work, take her to Daozang. Doesn't Daozang have a way to bring the dead back to life?
What he was most worried about was that the Zhu family would be unable to afford the misfortune of good luck, and an accident would occur. This accident was impossible to prevent.

Although the Zhu family now has the Imperial Seal, which can bear some of the luck, and is actively expanding so that Ming Dynasty can accommodate more luck, he is still worried.

"Dad, it's all thanks to you all these years." Empress Ma said softly, "Otherwise, I might not be able to maintain my harem. With your Daming Trading Company, I have also made a lot of money."

"Don't be too tired. Take good care of your body. Good times are yet to come." Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

"Yes, I also want to see the powerful Ming Dynasty." Queen Ma nodded.

Fourth Master Zhu told her some business ideas from his previous life and expanded Queen Ma's thinking. With Queen Ma's strength, she might be able to run the Daming Textile Factory better. …

The new year was approaching, and after Mr. Zhu explained the matter, he returned to the back mountain of the academy to continue practicing. Zhu Xiongying also stayed at the back of the academy during this period, and Fourth Master Zhu personally supervised him to practice martial arts.

Early in the morning, Fourth Master Zhu picked up Zhu Xiongying and took him to do morning exercises. He said with a smile: "I have to examine myself three times every day! Back then, your imperial grandfather and your fourth uncle all practiced like this with me."

"Grandpa, why didn't my dad train with you?" Zhu Xiongying said while running, "My dad is too bad. He is completely incompetent in martial arts."

"Your father is busy, dealing with government affairs." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "But I also taught him a set of boxing techniques to strengthen his body."

"Well, he practices every day." Zhu Xiongying said disdainfully, "Is that also called boxing? Compared with killing boxing, it's too far behind."

"That suits your father." Fourth Master Zhu glared.

The two ran from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain and started practicing boxing facing the rising sun. After practicing for an hour, she went to have breakfast, which was prepared by Huner. She learned cooking skills from Empress Ma, and with the praise of Fourth Master Zhu, she got up and made breakfast every morning. She was very active.

While the three of them were eating, Zhu Mengyao flew to the ground. She hurriedly shouted: "What a happy event. The princess is pregnant. Xiongying, you are going to have a younger brother again. This time he is a biological brother."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned slightly.

Crown Princess Chang gave birth to the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi this time. According to historical records, Chang died that month after giving birth to Zhu Yunxi. This must save her.

"Wen'er, come here." He pulled Wen'er to the side and whispered, "Are you getting along with Mrs. Chang? You need to keep an eye on her before and after she gives birth. I feel something is ominous."

"Ah?" Weier was shocked.

"I will go to Beiping City next year. If you find anything that cannot be solved, send me a message immediately." Fourth Master Zhu explained carefully.

"Yes, I've written it down." Wener frowned slightly, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen. I also have the Demon Sect Holy Pill, which can save lives."

Fourth Master Zhu nodded.

With Wen'er here, he was indeed relieved. Her "Demon God Skill" could also save lives.

……

Xuanwu Academy.

There are more and more students in academies. In the past few years, Xuanwu Academy has occupied the majority in the imperial examinations. As students entered the court and became officials, a academy force gradually formed. Moreover, this force is still growing.

After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, he formed a cabinet, including Zheng Shiyuan and Han Yike, both of whom were students of the academy. In addition to them, there are students from the academy all over the six departments of the imperial court. Of course, they are all still minor officials at present.

Fourth Master Zhu and Yao Guangxiao were sitting across from each other drinking tea. He smiled loudly and said, "Old Yao, if you don't want to go to work, do you really want to stay in this academy for the rest of your life? I know that you, Old Yao, have ambitions."

"Dean, in the past few years in this academy, I have found that it is not bad here." Yao Guangxiao smiled.

Fourth Master Zhu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He knew that Yao Guangxiao's ability was the cause of troubled times, and this man should be thrown into troubled times to achieve a career. He spread his hands and said, "Old Yao, I can show you the way. It will definitely suit you."

Yao Guangxiao became interested and asked: "What is it? Please ask the dean to clarify my doubts."

"Go to Nanyang." Zhu Siye said, "Now the Daming Trading Company has established its own power in Nanyang. We have our own army there. You can coordinate the overall situation. There are many small countries in Nanyang, and there is room for you to play. Warring States Period At that time, with Su Qinpei and the Six Kingdoms, you and Yao Guangxiao could do the same thing when you went to Nanyang."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. His previous thinking had been limited to the Ming Dynasty, and he had never thought about overseas. But things are different now. Ming Dynasty began to set up health clinics overseas, and its influence is growing.

"It's a road." He nodded slowly, "It's time for me to leave the academy."

"That's right, the world outside is very big. You need to go out and see it." Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile.

He murmured to himself, send you, the cause of trouble, away, lest you incite Zhu Di to rebel.

"What are we talking about?" Luo Guanzhong walked over.

"Lao Luo, your books are selling like hot cakes." Fourth Master Zhu greeted, "Let's go have a drink. You have to treat me this time."

"Yes, Lao Luo is treating us. Let's go to Taibai Tower." Yao Guangxiao agreed.

"What Taibai Tower are you going to? Of course we are going to Feiyan Tower." Master Zhu said, "The oiran is ready, Lao Luo just needs to pay the money."

Yao Guangxiao blushed. As a monk, he did not dare to go to a brothel.
