Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 7 Mingshi
After the meal, Wu Feng was alone in the room and meditated. This is an extremely quiet place. Because it is located outside the city, the business of this inn is not very good. Moreover, it has been closed in recent years. The merchants who go out to make goods, and the tourists who are walking outside have all returned home to prepare for the Spring Festival, so The inn was even more deserted, Wufeng and his group of dozens of people immediately took over the entire inn when they arrived, and the owner was so happy that he quickly cheered up Xiaoer and served him earnestly, very attentively. Fortunately, the food taste of this inn is not bad, Wufeng is also satisfied.
I'm afraid I can't help myself when I enter the imperial capital. What do the ministers in the court and the princes think of what I have done? What does His Majesty the Emperor think? Wufeng, who was originally very confident, felt a little uneasy when he entered the city. Don't want to enter the city and be captured and turned into a prisoner, that would be a mistake. Wufeng laughed dumbfounded and threw his head, as if he wanted to throw away this absurd idea. He thought that the imperial court would not do such an outrageous thing. Even though his own power expanded too fast, objectively, he still made great contributions to the empire. Not to mention his outstanding achievements, at least it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that defending the country and expanding the territory.
Breaking away from his own sphere of influence, Wufeng always feels a little uncomfortable. He is used to the mentality of being superior and self-respecting. Without the feeling of having the initiative, I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to adapt for a while. It seems that I have stayed too comfortably in good times, and it has nothing to do with how much tempering I have undergone. Wufeng thought to himself, maybe this trip to the imperial capital can really exercise his state of mind and endurance.
The knock on the door awakened Wufeng from his contemplation, "My lord, Mr. Gu is here."
"Ask him to come in." Wufeng stood up.
The door was gently pushed open, and a solid figure covered by a thick coat and cloak came in. The door closed again with a "squeak", and the visitor saluted before taking off his coat and cloak.
"Gu Ji, is there any danger?" Wufeng patted the visitor's shoulder heavily, and asked affectionately, "It's been more than two years since you left, and you still haven't changed anything."
A trace of excitement also flashed across Gu Jileng's face, and then disappeared. Wufeng also knows that his friend and confidant has always been like this, so he doesn't care.
"When will your lord arrive?"
"I arrived at noon, I want to meet you to understand the situation before going to the city." Wufeng motioned him to sit down, and he sat back in his original position, taking a sip of tea lightly.
"Is it safe along the way?"
"It's safe and sound, and I didn't disturb the place along the way." Wufeng took out an item at random, which was a jade box, "Come, this is for you, a special product of the Green Sea Swamp, Moyu Poria cocos , it's a pity that there is only one piece of this thing."
"Oh? Moyu Fuling?" Gu Ji, who was usually bright and colorful, also changed his expression. He thought he was knowledgeable, but he had only seen it in books, and had never seen the real thing.
"Well, I don't know if it's true or not. It looks like a small broad bean. It was given to me by the Celestials who live by the green sea swamp. I don't think they will lie to me, right?" Feng laughed.
Gu Ji gently lifted the lid of the box, and a refreshing fragrance immediately permeated the whole room, refreshing people's spirits.
Gu Ji carefully observed the black and shiny items in the box, and said after a while: "It is indeed the real thing, at least three hundred years old."
"Well, it seems that the guys from the Tianling clan haven't lied to me." Wufeng joked.
"My lord, this rare treasure is just right for you, I can't afford it." Gu Ji closed the lid of the box and solemnly returned it to Wufeng.
"Heavenly treasure? I don't need it. You have worked hard in the imperial capital. I heard that this thing can nourish the brain. If you eat it, it will also nourish your brain and prevent premature aging. "No front, no answer.
"My lord, you don't know that this thing is more than a brain booster? It is said that this thing can revitalize the old and injured internal organs after being taken by ordinary people. But it has an excellent effect on prolonging life and strengthening the body.”
"That's even better, my body is fine without these things, but I think you worry too much, your body is weak and needs to be replenished, that's it." Wu Feng waved his hand and said.
Gu Ji still wanted to decline, but seeing that Wufeng was a little impatient, he had to accept it, but he was secretly moved in his heart.
"Okay, let's get down to business, what's the current situation in the imperial court and various places?" Wu Feng turned the topic back.
"Your Excellency already understands the previous situation. The Southern Military Region of the Empire has made major adjustments. His Majesty the Emperor is really old-fashioned. He took advantage of the defeat of the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps to reshuffle the senior management of the Southern Military Region. , and re-appointed a large number of his own cronies, His Highness suffered heavy losses and was almost completely excluded from the army. The current commander of the Southern Military Region, Meng Hai, the commander of the Fifth Army, Wu Yuanba, and the commander of the Sixth Army, Kim Jong-yang They were all from the Imperial Guard system, and they were all confidantes of His Majesty the Emperor. Immediately, the commanders at the division level also made major adjustments. Officials from the lower line of the Third Highness fell one after another, but there were two people who were closely related to the Sixth Highness. Becoming the head of the division, it seems that His Royal Highness is a little unwilling to be lonely." Gu Ji said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, if he has no strength, who would be optimistic about him? It's not surprising to use the opportunity of the third brother's fall to strengthen his own power, but he must have the tacit approval of His Majesty the Emperor." Wufeng nodded.
"The war situation in the south is still dull, and the new officials don't seem to have much improvement after taking office. The conflicts in the border area still haven't taken much advantage, but fortunately, no major battles have occurred. The Fourth Army of the Empire has entered the south, and the east Several independent divisions of the military region also marched into the Five Lakes area, but Milan was defeated in a row. The Maqihan people have already taken advantage of the situation and invaded Milan. The Milanese have lost their fighting spirit. People started peace talks. However, the rebellion in Yuejing State that was expected by the DPRK and China did not happen, and some small resistance was quickly put out by the Maqi Khan garrison. The Machihans picked up a big peach." Guji's words were full of regret.
"Without the containment of the Milanese and Yuejing, I'm afraid the empire's battle would be difficult." Wufeng frowned slightly, thinking.
"The Mahaders and Andakers who made a lot of trouble have disappeared now. It is said that the Japanese people in the Atlantic Ocean have frequently appeared near the Great Pearl Islands recently, which has attracted the attention of the Milanese and the Mahaders. Nervous, the guard at sea has been strengthened." Gu Ji said again.
"Oh? This Japanese really knows how to choose the right time. Is it a coincidence, or is it related to the Machihan people?" Wufeng asked with his thick eyebrows raised.
"I haven't found out what is involved in this, but the Japanese people are very ambitious, and they have long coveted the islands in the Great Eastern Ocean. I am afraid that it is not just the Great Pearl Islands, but even Treasure Island, Kamchatka Island and the Ryukyu Islands, they also have ambitions. If it weren’t for their internal disputes, they might have become a major problem on the eastern seaboard of the empire. Even this has brought a lot of trouble to the eastern seaboard of the empire. If there is a chance, these hateful The Japanese will never sit idly by."
"As far as I know, the Japanese's shipbuilding technology is still far behind that of the Empire and the Milanese. Don't they dare to challenge the Empire and the Milanese now?" Wu Feng was a little puzzled.
"Well, there is a certain gap between the Japanese people's shipbuilding technology and the empire and the Milanese, but the Japanese people have also been working hard to shorten these gaps in the past two years. I heard that their leaders attach great importance to this aspect."
Wufeng shook his head, "This gap in shipbuilding technology cannot be resolved overnight, it has been accumulated over the years, unless they have the direct support of the Empire and the Milanese, it is impossible to achieve it all at once. Just catch up, and ``````" Thinking of this, Wufeng's face was a little gloomy.
Gu Ji was also very sensitive, "Are you suspecting that they stole the technology of the Empire or the Milanese?"
"Otherwise, it's impossible for them to improve greatly at once." Wufeng's face became more and more ugly.
"But there is no evidence for this, and no one will believe it when it is said." Gu Ji said, "The whole dynasty is full of people fighting for fame and fortune, so no one cares about these things."
Wufeng was silent for a long time before he said: "Let's not talk about this, what is the situation of the Lin family and the Lang family?"
"The ethnic minorities in the Lin family rebelled, and the Lin family is doing their best to put down the rebellion, and has no time for other things. Originally, the central government of the empire wanted the Lin family to send troops to assist in the response~IndoMTL.com~ Seeing this situation, they had to give up. The Lang family is fine. "
"What does the imperial court say about my marching into Luzon?" Wufeng finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Your Excellency already knows that the last court meeting has been discussed, and there was no dispute, so I let you return to Beijing to report on your duties. Now many ministers in the court have set up the main task of punishing Your Excellency, saying that Your Excellency is arrogant, unruly, violent, and despises the emperor. Your Majesty is authoritative, and among the princes, the eldest prince, the third prince and the seventh prince are all ambiguous, while the sixth prince and the ninth prince try their best to defend the lord. By the way, I don’t know when the lord offended the thirteenth princess. It is said that she has already His Majesty the Emperor said in a letter that you are domineering and domineering, and demanded that you be dismissed and investigated. Even his own brother, His Highness the Ninth Prince, could not persuade you." Gu Ji smiled and said, "The thirteenth princess is ranked first among the three famous flowers in the imperial capital. I never thought that my lord would pick the flower of Miss Angel and provoke the thirteenth princess, what should I do?"
Wufeng scratched his head in bewilderment, and said puzzledly: "How can this matter? I haven't even seen the faces of the thirteen princesses, so how could I offend him? Is there a mistake? There must be something in it. What a misunderstanding."
"Perhaps these thirteen princesses are full of enthusiasm and intentionally use this method to attract your attention, my lord. My lord is very lucky, just be careful of Miss Angel's roar in the east of the river." The old-fashioned Gu Ji's mood was obviously because Wufeng was happy when he returned, and made a rare joke.
Wufeng couldn't help but laugh, "Gu Ji, you're so serious, you still have the heart to make such jokes."
"Your Majesty is confident, so what are you worried about? Soldiers will block you, water will come to cover you, I believe you will have no problems this time." Gu Ji is very optimistic, "His Majesty's attitude is also very ambiguous, and he has never expressed positively." Too much, so that the ministers below can hardly figure out the holy will.
