I am the carpenter king

Chapter 632 Winter is Coming

Looking up at Qi Jin, Yu Zigao laughed loudly, waved his hands, and said, "Brother, you guessed wrong this time! I didn't mean to be corrupt. Now that the emperor thinks highly of me, I won't do it." Things like that. Back then, my father worked hard for Daming, just because he didn’t know how to be an official, so why don’t I tell you the result?”

Silently pouring a glass of wine for Yu Zigao, Qi Jin didn't speak.Back then, his uncle and Yu Zigao became his father, and both of them had made great contributions to Daming, but they didn't end well.He was okay, but Yu Zigao was greatly affected by this incident, and he became a little extreme.

"Brother Yu thought about it at that time. I will never learn from my father in this life. I want to live my life well. But the appearance of the emperor changed me. I have to work for the emperor. I still remember when the emperor gave me respect. That glass of wine, that sentence of sorry to my father. With these words, I, Yu Zigao, will sell my life to the emperor, and even if I die in battle, I, Yu Zigao, will have no regrets in this life!" Yu Zigao Perhaps Gao had drunk too much, although his words were bold, but his face was extremely sad, and he murmured: "It's a pity, my father didn't live to wait until this day!"

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Qi Jin said with a smile: "They didn't see it, but we saw it! Next time you go to the grave, you can talk about it."

"Needless to say, after I got the news, I immediately said it in front of my father's memorial tablet. Although I couldn't see his expression, I think he will be very happy." With a smile on his face, Yu Zigao went on to say: "The emperor said that there will be many things for us to do in the future, and they are all opportunities to make money. Just cleaning up the pirates will make us rich, and that is really money." Ah! And this is a reward from the emperor, we can take it with peace of mind. Our good days are coming!"

Shaking his head helplessly, it seems that Yu Zigao's obsession with money cannot be changed.But this is not a bad thing, as long as it is done through good means, what's wrong with making some money?

The two drank until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and staggered back to the cabin.The moonlight sprinkled on the sea, like the Milky Way in the sky, making people dazzled.

Time passed quickly without knowing it, and in the blink of an eye, it was October, the fifth year of Tianqi, and the weather had gradually turned cold.People also began to add clothes. Nan Juyi sat in the lobby, wearing a cloak, frowning slightly.Calculating the time, the imperial decree should be back by this time.Is there any accident?

These days, Nan Juyi has been paying attention to the situation in the Taiwan Strait. The Spaniards and the Dutch have had several conflicts, but the scale is not large. They are obviously trying to test each other.Winter is coming, and I'm afraid they will also stop and stop.However, Nan Juyi could already predict that after the beginning of spring, the sea would definitely be filled with the sound of cannons.

"My lord, my lord. An angel is coming!" The yamen guard ran in from outside, shouting loudly along the way.Panting.

Standing up abruptly, Nan Juyi's face flashed with excitement, coming, finally coming!Putting the cloak on the stool and tidying up his official uniform, Nan Juyi strode out.Just walked to the door.Nan Juyi saw someone rushing in and divided into two teams.Flying Fish Clothes, Xiuchun Dao, are members of Jin Yiwei!

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch walked in, followed by a third-rank military officer in Jinyiwei.This made Nan Juyi startled.This person is actually the commander of Jin Yiwei?I really didn't expect such a person to come back.

In Jinyiwei, there are a lot of hereditary Jinyiwei commanders, which is nothing unusual at all.The key is to look at the previous authority, Luo Sigong is in charge of Jinyi Guards, this is the real Jinyi Guards commander.Although the person in front of him was also the commander of Jin Yiwei, Nan Juyi didn't take it to heart.

"Which one is Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian?" Although he saw Nan Juyi, the eunuch still raised his head high, and asked in a sharp voice with a defiant look.

This is already an old rule, Nan Juyi naturally didn't take it seriously, bent down respectfully, and said: "My official is Nan Juyi, Governor of Fujian!"

The eunuch nodded, took the imperial decree from the Jinyiwei general on the side, and said expressionlessly: "Nan Juyi, accept the decree!"

"My minister Nan Juyi, governor of Fujian Province, accepts the order. Long live my emperor!" Nan Juyi immediately fell to his knees. Although the expression on his face did not change, his heart was almost in his throat!

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, is sincere in the king's affairs, and does not shirk, and I am very relieved. He added Nan Juyi as the right servant of the Ministry of War, in charge of Fujian's military affairs, and comprehensively dealt with Penghu affairs. Do your best and live up to it. What I want is to protect the whole country, I respect it!" The eunuch gently unfolded the imperial edict, then read it aloud, and finally handed the imperial edict into Nan Juyi's hands.

Sure enough, sure enough!As expected, the emperor did not disappoint himself, Nan Juyi tremblingly accepted the imperial decree, and said loudly: "Chen Nan Juyi took the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Get up! It's cold on the ground!" After handing over the imperial decree to Nan Juyi, the eunuch's face suddenly changed, and he went to help Nan Juyi with a smile on his face, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Father-in-law, you're being polite. I don't know what to call this father-in-law? You've worked hard all the way!" Nan Juyi was no stranger to these things. After standing up, he smiled and talked to the eunuch.

The eunuch glanced back at Jin Yiwei behind him, and then said with a smile: "Don't be afraid to ask Mr. Nan, our family is just the emperor's servant, our family name is Liu, you can call me Xiao Liuzi!"

"Father-in-law, you are being polite. Seeing that your father-in-law is not very old, he must be the famous Chen Lin, Eunuch Chen?" Nan Juyi still had a smile on his face, but his eyes shrank slightly. Unexpectedly, Emperor Tianqi sent Chen Lin here up!

One should know that eunuchs don't have to have too much status to pass on such a decree, but this time Chen Lin was indeed sent here. It seems that Emperor Tianqi has other errands!

"I can't deserve such a compliment from the Nan University. Our family is following the emperor's order this time, and we also want to beg for food under the hands of the Nan University. Our family is young and ignorant. If there is anything we can't get, the Nan University will take care of it." Some." The smile on Chen Lin's face became brighter, obviously because she was very cold about Nan Juyi's compliment.

Nodding slowly, it really is so, this is the supervising army sent by the emperor.However, this is also a rule. When foreign ministers fight, there must be internal ministers as supervisors.He reached out and took a plate from the side. Although it was covered with red silk, it could still be seen that it was a plate of silver.

"Eunuch, this is the rule, please accept it!" Nan Juyi didn't shy away from it at all. This is the official rule, and the eunuch who passed the decree must be rewarded. This money will not be good.

"Master Nan, you are too polite, so we will accept it!" Chen Lin agreed with a smile, and a little eunuch came up and took Yin's plate.Glancing at Nan Juyi, Chen Lin continued, "Master Nan, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Dake, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei. This time he was sent by the emperor. They are responsible for tracking down the gap. As for how to do it, it is inconvenient for us to ask.”

Nan Juyi nodded. Chen Lin was able to tell herself these things because of her own money.Nodding to Zhang Dake, neither of them spoke.

"Elder-in-law, let's go in and discuss in detail!" Nan Juyi quickly turned his attention to Chen Lin, smiling and making a gesture of invitation.

When they arrived at the living room, everyone sat down among the guests and the host. Chen Lin took out a document from her arms again, handed it to Nan Juyi, and said with a smile: "Master Nan, this is a document from the Military Aircraft Department, please have a look at it. "

I didn't expect that there were documents in the Military Aircraft Department, but after all, there was going to be a war, so there was no need to make a fuss.After receiving the document, Nan Juyi looked at it, and the joy on his face became more and more intense.

In this document, the affairs of the Spaniards and the Portuguese are described in detail, and the affairs of the navy are also mentioned.It roughly pointed out a direction for Nan Juyi, so that Nan Juyi could have a more comprehensive understanding of Emperor Tianqi's attitude.

"Father-in-law, tonight the staff members of the Heyamen will take care of the father-in-law, I hope the father-in-law will not refuse!" If it was an ordinary eunuch, Nan Juyi would naturally not do this.But the eunuchs of the supervising army are different. They must have a good relationship with the eunuchs of the supervising army. Everyone who leads the army knows this.

"Master Lao Nan is here, so our family is ashamed to accept it!" Chen Lin smiled, but did not refuse.

From that day on, the entire Fuzhou yamen became busy, making preparations all day long.

In Taiwan, Hong Kong, Zheng Zhilong's meeting hall, Zheng Zhilong sat on a chair expressionlessly, looking at his two younger brothers and Chen Zhongji at the same time.

"Brother, why are we in this troubled water? Even if we don't participate, the Spaniards and the Dutch will fight, I don't understand!" Zheng Zhihu looked at Zheng Zhilong and made a point to his elder brother.In fact, since he got Zheng Zhilong's agreement to attack the Spaniard with the Dutch, Zheng Zhihu didn't think about it.

Turning his eyes to Chen Zhongji, Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Zhihu, an idiot, can't understand, I wonder if brother Chen can understand?"

"The purpose of the master is very simple. This time, we want to expel all the Spaniards and Dutch, and we will dominate the Taiwan Strait." Chen Zhongji looked at Zheng Zhihu and said softly.

Zheng Zhihu on one side didn't understand even more, and looked at Zheng Zhibao on the other side, and said with a little worry: "Brother, our strength is not bad against one of them, but if we want to fight the attention of these two, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it." What's more, we still have the imperial court watching over us, I still don't think it's appropriate!"

"Okay, you don't need to understand if you don't understand! Just do what I say, and that's it!" Zheng Zhilong obviously had no interest in explaining, turned and walked out. (To be continued..)
