Chapter 417: The situation in the palace

Views:

"The Emperor is here—"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." Civil and military officials bowed down one after another. Standing behind the officials, Yu Hai and Xiaocao father and daughter were stunned for a moment, then slowly followed and knelt down.

Zhu Junfan walks like a dragon, walked to the throne carved with golden dragons, glanced in the direction of Yu's father and daughter, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his right hand falsely, and said, "Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The civil and military officials stood up one after another, standing respectfully. Yu Xiaocao hurriedly got up from the ground, just knelt down and stood up again, it was really tossing. The evil centralized monarchy, the evil feudal class system...

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do—" Su Ran's voice was soft, but not sharp, with a special taste. Yu Xiaocao was small and blocked by all the officials, she had to stretch her neck clearly if she wanted to see clearly the tall one in the Golden Luan Hall.

Su Ran clearly saw the small heads sticking out of the civil servant's neat line. Because she turned her head sideways, the pearls hanging from her head swayed a few times. As if sensing that he was looking at her, the little girl smiled mischievously at him.

Su Ran saw it, and Zhu Junfan who was sitting beside him naturally saw it too. He knew that he, a fellow traveler, was not the kind of meek and timid person, how could he be overwhelmed by the seriousness of the Golden Throne Hall? I'm afraid this little girl is still taking it as her own tourist, and she is very interested in watching it.

Zhu Junfan lost his mind on the throne, and then reported the establishment of a hundred households in Tanggu and its surrounding areas, and he just listened to the general idea. Next, a few civil servants and military officials wrote the booklet... Zhu Junfan took a look at the little girl who stuck her head out from time to time, as if she was watching a play, with a tasteful and interesting appearance, so how could he be so happy? So upset

Finally, the civil servants and military officers no longer spoke forward. Zhu Junfan glanced at his cousin and raised his eyebrows: I can hold my breath today!

Zhu Junyang received his gaze, took a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty, the father and daughter of the Yu family have been called into the palace and are waiting outside!"

Open your eyes and tell nonsense, that little girl is clearly within the threshold of the palace. Look at the stretched neck, it's almost a giraffe.

Zhu Junfan complained endlessly in his heart, but he said in a serious manner: "Xuan!"

Su Ran stood up straight and raised her voice, "Father and daughter of the Xuanyu family enter the palace!"

Yu Hai heard it, and trembled all over, feeling that his hands and feet couldn't be controlled. In this life, the biggest official he has ever met is the county magistrate. Although both General Fang and Yangjun Wang have relatively high official titles, they have been in private contact after all, and have never dealt with them in formal official occasions. Although before he came, General Fang gave him the understanding of entering the palace to meet the saint, but when he was nervous, his head was like a muddle, and his head was confused.

It was still his daughter, when she came to him, she gently tugged on his sleeve, and he woke up a little bit from the chaotic state. Seeing her own daughter, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and walked gracefully among the civil and military officials with small steps. With a calm demeanor and a smile on his face, he didn't even shake the pendant hanging from his head.

Yu Hai felt a little ashamed in his heart. Facing such a big battle, the daughter must not be at peace. As a father, he can't be the backbone of his daughter at critical times, and wants her to support her face. He is really a father in vain! Thinking of this, a surge of courage rose from his heart, he straightened his back, stretched his neck, and took a little firmer steps.

They greeted the emperor without any mistakes, and the father and daughter stood up straight in the emperor's "flat body". Zhu Junfan didn't speak for a while, watching the reaction of the father and daughter silently. Although Father Yu tried his best to remind himself to calm down, he was still somewhat cautious and flustered. This was the first time seeing the emperor, the first time facing such a big battle, the reaction he should have.

As for the little girl from the Yu family, she put on an air and acted like a lady in Beijing. She didn't seem to have the slightest flaw, but does this give people a sense of disobedience? oh! By the way, it was the attitude revealed in his bones, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and composed, with a little bit of excitement. Don't think that if you lower your head, I won't be able to see your expression! !

Seeing the emperor summoning the Yu family's father and daughter in without saying a word, all civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay - what kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd

It wasn't until Zhu Junfan saw Father Yu's pretended calm that he could no longer maintain it that he said slowly, "I heard that you were the first to discover the Japanese pirate rebellion in Tanggu and report it to the port?"

The most supreme person in the Ming Dynasty is asking questions! Yu Hai opened his mouth, feeling as if his throat was blocked by something, his heart was beating violently, almost as if he was about to jump out of his mouth. Thinking that he is a father, he will stand up for his children, he bowed and stammered: "Back... back to the emperor..."

"Go back to the emperor! Minnv is good at water, and she signed a contract with the Zhou family to help them catch aquatic products. That day, Minnv swam into the deep sea unknowingly, and saw hundreds of fleets from a distance, not like merchant ships. , It's not like our Ming warships, I felt quite strange, so I quietly swam close to a ship, and found that the people on board were completely different from the people of Daming in terms of clothing and language.

Minnv once heard the old people in the village talk about the ancient times, saying that the Tanggu area is not far from the Japanese country, and there was an experience of Japanese pirates invading. In addition, a few days ago, the typhoon coming from the direction of Wa country also had a certain impact on our village. Then the Wa Kingdom must have suffered greatly from it! Minnv also heard that in the previous dynasty, many people were forced to go to the mountains to become bandits due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, so Minnv wondered if there was a disaster on the Wa Kingdom, so she wanted to get some benefits from our Ming Dynasty! So I swam back desperately and reported to the village chief.

Minnv's adoptive father was working at the port, and Minnv was worried about his safety, so she asked her elder brother to go and report. It was Minnv's adoptive father who made a decisive decision, notified the guards, organized his soldiers and officers, and seized the opportunity to save the port from the Japanese invaders! "

Yu Xiaocao was in a lot of pain, such polite words were not her strong point. If she speaks too plainly, will she embarrass her godfather and mother? After all, she had learned etiquette from her godmother for a period of time, and her godmother had been working hard to make her a typical lady in Beijing!

"So, the great credit for this belongs to your adoptive father who works at the port!" Zhu Junfan glanced at the person the military officer was facing, and said with a half-smile.

Yu Xiaocao has no intention of claiming credit at all: "Back to the emperor, the port is safe and sound, it is the result of Commander Sun and General Fang's proper command, the guards and port officers and soldiers fighting bravely, and the people and soldiers working together as one. It cannot be said that some The work of one person!"

Fang Fangzhen glanced at the goddaughter approvingly, his back was straightened, and his face was full of pride. It seemed to let all the colleagues in the hall know that the little girl who talked in front of the emperor and under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials was his daughter! He is proud to have such a girl, he is proud!

With a smile on his face, Zhu Junfan nodded slightly, approvingly said: "However, your contribution cannot be ignored! Without your vigilance and warning, the Japanese pirates attacked when the port was unprepared. Tragic victory! Now, the officers and soldiers of the guard station have defeated the pirates, and the loss of the port has been reduced to the minimum. You have contributed a lot!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment, I am ashamed to be a daughter of the people!" Being named and praised in front of so many ministers, Yu Xiaocao was actually quite happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth turned up to reveal her mood. Since the emperor has acknowledged her meritorious service, should she be given some material rewards? How can the reward given by the emperor not be precious? Gold and jade, the more the better, throw them at me...

"Your Majesty, I don't understand something!" General Shi, who was at odds with Fang Fangzhen, suddenly took a step forward, looked at Yu Xiaocao out of the corner of his eye, and said.

Zhu Junfan knew that this General Shi was one of the generals under the emperor's grandfather. He had fought more than once with General Zhao and General Fang, who were still generals of the previous dynasty, and he was always unconvinced.

After the previous dynasty was overthrown, General Fang was given the title of "General Zhaoyong" by the emperor's grandfather after recovering from his injuries. Although he didn't have much real power, he still received the salary of the Ming Dynasty. General Shi was upset because of this, many of his brothers died at the hands of this fierce general from House Town, and he vowed to avenge his brothers by killing House Town.

But now, the two enemies have become colleagues who were once officials. Do you think he is aggrieved or aggrieved? So, come out to provoke them from time to time. It is said that these two have fought countless times in private, and each has a winner or loser. Fortunately, the two still knew the seriousness, and no one was killed. Whether it was the former Supreme Emperor or the current Emperor, they all turned a blind eye.

Today, isn't it about rewarding the farming masters from ancient times in Tang Dynasty? Why did the guy in the house town get the credit and be named? If the credit is confirmed, wouldn't the guy in Fangfang Town want to be promoted to a noble? no! Never let him wish! General Shi glared at Fang Fangzhen bitterly.

"Shi Aiqing, what are you unclear about?" Zhu Junfan was a little powerless, this is the rhythm to pinch again!

General Shi looked at Yu Xiaocao seriously, and said: "Little girl, you said that you are good at swimming and can swim into the deep sea. This general believes it! But you can swim faster than the speed of the ship, and you can go ashore before it. There is enough time to go to the port to report the news. This will make it difficult to win people's trust!!"

There are many civil and military officials in the palace who are good swimmers. If they dare to say that they can surpass well-made ships, and surpass a lot, no one can do it! No! Not only did no one do it, no one would believe it at all. Isn't this little girl too courageous? Dare to tell such a bizarre lie to deceive the emperor, don't you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor depends on the head
