Chapter 1046 Jiajing's money for cultivating immortals is rewarded like this!

Beijing City.

Yang Jinshui knelt in front of the supervisor's door, not daring to show his breath.

Teng Xiang, Meng Chong, Huang Jin, and Chen Hong sat inside. Except for Huang Jin who was always kind to others and couldn't bear it, the other three just watched with cold eyes.

"In the Ming Dynasty, there was one eunuch with palm seal, eight eunuchs, or four or five eunuchs with Bingbi and Suitang". The chief ministers of the cabinet were divided into courts, and the remaining four eunuchs holding pens, the four godsons, were eagerly waiting for his position, and the countless eunuchs and servants who came down were eagerly waiting for the positions of the five of them.

Although Yang Jinshui was among the many eunuchs, he seemed to be outstanding. Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and Chen Hong had discussed in private to find an opportunity to release him so as not to threaten their position in the palace.

Now that Yang Jinshui went south to accompany the capital, and came back disgraced, they were happy to see him and gloated over his misfortune.

At this moment, a sharp announcement came from outside: "Welcome to the ancestors!"

Four authoritative eunuchs who held pens rushed out to meet them, respectfully took off the cloak and white fox fur sleeves from Lu Fang's body, and gently patted the snowflakes on his body: "My lord, you have worked hard!"

Lu Fang sighed: "I have nothing to suffer, it's just that the monsters are making trouble. The master, Long Live, is worried about the people. If the dragon's body is hurt... Sigh, we slaves are the ones who will die!"

Speaking of this, the powerful ancestor's voice was low, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost shed tears.

The four Bingbi eunuchs knew that Lu Fang was not just showing off, but was really sad because Jiajing was in a bad mood.

This kind of ability to share joy and sorrow with the master, some people want to learn, but they just can't learn it.

That Long Live Lord is too shrewd, whether it is true or false, he can see clearly at a glance.

After saying a few words, Lu Fang sat down and drank a cup of hot tea. After a short rest, he calmed down and said coldly, "Yang Jinshui, get out!"

Yang Jinshui walked on his knees, entered the house all the way, bowed his head down: "The child is incompetent, please punish me!"

Lu Fang snorted: "If punishing you can make the Long Live Lord calm down, can you still be here?"

Yang Jinshui was relieved, still trembling on the surface, and kowtowed desperately: "My lord, forgive me! My lord, forgive me! The child is willing to pay for his merits!"

Lu Fang asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yang Jinshui said without hesitation: "Organize the funeral, arrest the demon, welcome back the genius doctor!"

Lu Fang saw that the godson's thinking was clear and he didn't lose his mind, so his tone dropped: "The nobles who accompany the capital must be comforted, their ancestors are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and they must not be taken lightly!"

The nobles are a very special group. In the core power of the court, they have actually stood aside, but they can't be completely ignored in many cases, and they still have a certain influence.

The biggest disturbance on the surface of this incident was the death of Wei Guogong Xu Pengju. The cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies discussed and planned to define Xu Pengju's murder as stopping demons, dying for the country, and holding a large-scale funeral. The memorial has already been approved.

It's not enough to raise his posthumous name, but he also needs to find Tao Taoist, the demon who faked his death and escaped, and the miracle doctor Li who many people really care about.

The priority of these three things is actually gradually increasing, but when Yang Jinshui said that it seemed that the honorable things had become the most important, it was indeed reassuring.

Seeing that Lu Fang's expression was slightly relieved, Chen Hong didn't want Yang Jinshui to pass the test so easily: "You want to arrest that demon, it's easy to say, the world is so big, the demon is going to the deep mountains and old forests, where are you going to get him?"

Yang Jinshui said in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to expose the life experience of the demon?"

Chen Hong was taken aback, while Lu Fang said indifferently: "Paper can't hold fire, there are no outsiders here, so let's talk!"

Yang Jinshui said: "According to the confirmation of Chaotian Palace and Shen Optimism, Tao Taoist's origin is related to the Tao family, the celestial master. He is the illegitimate son of the Tao family, and his mother is a demon."

"It is precisely because he is half human and half demon that he can deceive the world and steal his name, so that all the officials in Nanjing trust him, hoping to refine a panacea that can cure the disease, and are deceived by him."

"This person has not disclosed his real name so far. If he wants to announce his arrest in various places, he must ask Dow for the situation!"

……

"Have children with a demon?"

The eyes of the four masters of Bingbi stared wide-eyed. They couldn't even give birth to a child. How could the people from the Tao family play so extravagantly?

Lu Fang also felt quite boring, and looked at Chen Hong who had just stepped forward: "Hong Er, how about I leave it to you to communicate with Tao?"

Chen Hong's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed down: "My lord, forgive me, but the child is ignorant and can't even understand the words of the celestial master. How can you ask such things..."

The eunuchs of the previous dynasties generally had a low level of education, but the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were sent to study in the inner school. They read and wrote since they were young. The teachers taught by them were bachelors from the Imperial Academy. Only the imperial examination officials in the outer dynasty can participate in political affairs so skillfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and even Zhu Zhanji used these eunuchs as ruthless working machines to assist in governing, and then they lost control and began to monopolize eunuchs.

Among the eunuchs, Chen Hong's education level was indeed low, but even if he was well educated and could chat with Tao Zhongwen, who liked to speak green words and play riddles, no one dared to respond and bowed their heads one after another.

"This matter is really difficult to handle!"

Even Lu Fang, who is the inner minister, felt it was difficult.

The two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, the thirteen provinces, the central court, officials from all over the country, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, if it is said that they are least under the jurisdiction of the Rites and Dongchang, they are actually religions, especially Taoism.

In terms of closeness, Lu Fang and Lu Bing must be much better than Tao Zhongwen in Jiajing's heart, but in terms of trust in certain things, they really may not be comparable to that Shenxiao Tianshi.

The main reason is that Jiajing worshiped the Tao, thinking that after sitting in the world, he can practice to perfection, ascend to heaven, and become a immortal with long life and long-sightedness. Therefore, he has always attached great importance to capable Taoist priests, and Tao Zhongwen has made several successful prophecies , Such as the two dragons not meeting each other, the palace on fire, releasing prisoners to pray for rain, etc., became irreplaceable in Jiajing's heart.

Lu Fang and Lu Bing can be loyal, but they don't have Tao Zhongwen's ability to cultivate Taoism, so they just can't.

"To question this matter, but to severely offend Tao Tianshi..."

This is also the reason why the eunuchs of Bingbi did not dare to respond. Huang Jin wanted to speak, but was pressed down by Lu Fang's eyes, took another sip of tea, and sighed softly: "The old slave will report the monster, and wait for the master to live forever!" Lord, let's make a decision, and bring today's playbook!"

The chaos in Nanjing came to an end, and Lu Fang began to read the memorial book handed over by the cabinet. His reading speed was very fast, and his face was ugly: "Northern Tartars, southern Japanese pirates, folk monsters, disasters in various provinces, look at the world , isn't there any good news that can make Master Long Live happy?"

Huang Jin said: "My lord, a great victory has been reported in Hangzhou, beheading real Japanese, a total of forty-nine people, severely defeated the arrogance of the thieves, and kept the coast safe!"

Lu Fang was startled, not happy, but showed a strange look: "Forty-nine real Japanese heads?"

Good guy, how dare you brag!

If it is the head of Congwo, it is possible to have nearly fifty heads. If it is the head of the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant, it is not surprising at all. The Ming army in the north has such a brilliant record, it must be obtained by "cracking the nest" , That is to rush into the lairs of the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes, kill them all, and convert the heads of the elderly and children into heads according to the exchange rate.

Yes, there is also the exchange rate. The heads of seven old, weak, women and children are placed on the head of a strong man.

Qi Jiguang despises this kind of nest-making tactics the most, "Anyone who can appear and disappear, steal zero horses, and build a trench for himself is a good man. This is an unbreakable habit." Fang Degong regards this as a long-term strategy to prepare the frontier, and when he enters in a large scale, he says that this must not be confronted, and it must not be confronted openly."

Wars are cruel, and it is not uncommon for both sides to kill the old and weak, women and children in the wars of all dynasties. However, killing the old and weak, women and children to gain credit is only done by the Ming army driven mad by Karma's head. There is no bottom line at all.

But then again, the Northern Tatars still have lairs to destroy, while the southern Japanese pirates' camps on the small island are extremely secretive, and the coastal areas are only attacked, and there is no possibility of successfully counterattacking the lairs. This record is even more false...

Jiangnan Mingjun can't tolerate such an awesome person!
But Lu Fang didn't say anything.

He has been with Jiajing for a long time, and he has also learned the principle of "everything is worse than silence". If you don't say a word, you are the master of that sentence. If you say it, you are the slave of that sentence. , so the absolute judgment of "impossible", even if this inner phase doesn't believe it in his heart, he won't say it.

"Tao Yin, a civil righteous man, has a burly body and infinite strength. He has long had the ambition to kill the enemy and serve the country..."

Lu Fang calmed down, and carefully checked the situation of the memorial. She didn't pay much attention to Tao Yin's name. She only thought it had the same surname as the half-demon who was talking about before. After deliberating the details several times, she asked, "What did the Ministry of War say?"

Huang Jindao: "The Ministry of War is inspecting the head, and the preliminary verification is that it is a real Japanese, but the wounds are weird, most of them were strangled, it seems that they died of cannibalism."

Lu Fang knew the implication of these words, but she didn't want to acknowledge Tao Yin's contribution, so she thought for a moment and said, "If you can create turmoil among the Japanese pirates, let the thieves kill each other, and even cut off the heads to testify, that would be a great achievement. , should be recorded as military merit, but whether this head is a real Japanese must be ascertained, and there must be no concealment!"

"Yes!"

The first meritorious system doesn't care about how to die, as long as the head is real, it is credit. Jin Ye said: "My lord, these fifty heads are worth ten thousand taels of silver..."

Lu Fang felt a little heartbroken thinking about it, it was the silver of the Long Live God, so he just rewarded it like this, but when he thought about the serious Japanese plague and the repeated looting in the southeast, the loss was more than ten thousand taels of silver, and he firmly said: "The reward is the reward." Rewards, I can't deal with it... Pick out all the Hirao's excerpts, I want to take a good look!"

"Yes!"

The memorabilia of the imperial court going to the southeast to fight against the Japanese was placed in front of her, and Lu Fang read it quietly, sometimes happy and sometimes worried.

One of the most inconspicuous ones was conveniently placed aside.

Above is a seventh-rank petty official:
"Hu Zongxian, a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of this dynasty, recommended the Supervisory Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol Zhejiang."

　Thanks to the book friend "Wind from Longxi" for the reward of [-], becoming the leader of this book, and thanks to the book friend "Code Correspondent" for the reward.
