Chapter 72: Shocking Change (Central)

"Your Majesty, who is this?" Jian Lingtai had already seen Lingnu, but I had never spoken, so he had never dared to ask.

"This is my newly acquired female slave." I said indifferently: "Ling Nu, how are you going to share my worries?"

Lingnu did not move and said softly: "Master, Lingnu is his own country. He is also the daughter of Shimazu Daime. Ryuzao Daime cooperated with the Eastern Turks and would not do anything to his own country. Lingnu is confident of leaving Nagasaki Port."

I thought about it slightly, it was indeed the case. The possible surname of Lingnu who was able to leave Nagasaki smoothly was far more than everyone here. It was just that she was forced to be a female slave by me, and her loyalty was conceivable. Who could know that she proposed this way, not to escape?

Seeing that I was thinking, Lingnu probably guessed that I didn’t trust her. Then he said, “Master, Lingnu knows that the master can’t trust me. From the conversation just now, Lingnu learned that the master was actually the Emperor of the Great Wu Empire. The reason why Lingnu wanted to help the master share his worries was because of his master’s fate, and the other was for the Shimazu family.”

After she said this, I became interested. I asked in a low voice: "Lingnu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it."

"Master, listen to Lingnu explain something first." Lingnu said excitedly: "Lingnu helped his father become the commander-in-chief of the Shimazu family's maritime fleet as early as the age of thirteen. The Shimazu family has a total of forty-three warships, and each of the activities are under the command of Lingnu. Lingnu can guarantee with his own name and his father Shimazu Kuoyi that no warship has ever been active in the Great Wuhai Realm."

I was slightly stunned. Lingnu explained this matter at this time, could it be...

Lingnu immediately said: "On the contrary, the Shimazu family has always admired the Dawu culture, but it has no way to go. In addition, the Dawu family has always been hostile to our country due to the Japanese pirates. This has never established diplomatic relations with Dawu. The master can learn from the children of the Shimazu family that regards the Dawu language as a compulsory course. The Shimazu family has absolutely no hostility towards the Dawu Empire."

I snorted softly: "You said you are not Japanese pirates, so where are the many Japanese pirates on the border of Dawu?"

"This Lingnu knew a little, mainly some wandering warriors who did not have Daming, or some warriors who betrayed Daming. However, Lingnu had received reliable news. Long Zao Daming had recruited a large number of wandering warriors a few years ago. However, his father was unwilling to start a war with Long Zao, so Lingnu suppressed the news." Lingnu then said a little excitedly again: "The master clearly understands that the Japanese pirates who have caused trouble to Da Wu are only the actions of a small number of evil thieves in their country."

"You have explained for so long and express your plans." I waved my hand lightly.

"Master is clear about it, Lingnu is definitely not threatening the master in this matter." Lingnu explained again: "Even if the master does not agree to establish diplomatic relations with the Shimazu family, Lingnu will still share the problems for the master. Moreover, afterwards, Lingnu promised to return to the master with the reputation of his father."

I sighed heavily: "Shimazu is also an amazing person. You can see that he has such an outstanding daughter. Okay, I will personally meet this Shimazu Hiyoshi. If he can catch my eye, what if I support him to unify Japan?"

"Lingnu thanks my master for his great kindness." Lingnu bowed a few more times and said, "I'd like to ask the master to write a letter in person so that Lingnu can get a certificate."

"Ling Tai, prepare your pen and ink." I suddenly made a decision.

...

Time flies, and it is the third day that Lingnu has left Nagasaki. The Eastern Turkic Khan still did not break up, but just paid more attention to the place where I live. From this, it can be seen that Lingnu has left Nagasaki smoothly without any noise.

I stood in the yard, looking up at the starry sky, with dark clouds everywhere, not to mention the stars, even the moon could not see it.

Jian Lingtai walked to me, took off his cloak, and helped me put it on and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that the rainy season is coming. It's getting cold outside. Please rest in the inner room."

I carried my hands on my back and said lightly: "Ling Tai, do you know what I have been thinking about these few days?"

Jane Lingtai stood beside me with his hands down and said respectfully: "I dare not speculate on the holy intention."

"I'm thinking." I paused and said, "I've been going well since I became this emperor."

"Your Majesty, I think it may not be a good thing to go too smoothly," said Jian Lingtai.

"Indeed, it may not be a good thing to go too far." I smiled and said, "I have been thinking about this for the past few days. With such a smooth situation, why did I suddenly encounter adversity? If I had not accidentally taken over a spiritual slave, I would probably have to finish the game, both of you, I, the king and my minister, plus the 200,000 troops to fight."

Jian Lingtai was shocked by my words and said in a terrifying manner: "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

"Yes, what I mean." A cold look appeared in my eyes: "In our court, some people have evil intentions and are planning to be ill-gotten."

Jian Lingtai broke out on his forehead: "If there is really an insider, his status is definitely not low. There is no one else except the emperor, Weichen, Lord Duan, Lord Tao, and Lord Liu."

"Then guess, who is among these people?" I turned my eyes to Jane Lingtai.

Jian Lingtai's face was also very bad. After thinking for a while, he said, "After I started to make the whole thing, it is not difficult to see that this is a clever design and makes people sweat. The huge and complex situation is really shocking. Without years of planning and operation, such an effect will definitely not be achieved. If we calculate this way, Lord Duan and Weichen must be excluded first. Because Lord Duan was promoted to the Minister of War, it has been less than a year. Weichen only won the second place in March this year and entered the court, so naturally he did not have the conditions to plan."

"According to what you say, the only ones who are suspected are Tao Qian and Liu Zhenming?" I smiled slightly and said, "Who is more suspicious according to you?"

Jian Lingtai sighed and said, "In the eyes of the empress, Lord Liu is more suspicious. First of all, Lord Liu was a faction of Grandmaster Li before, and he was from the sludge. Secondly, Lord Liu was greedy for money and lust, and even was a little rich and unkind. It can be said that he had a bad character. Furthermore, Lord Tao was devoted to serving the country and the people, and was honest and righteous. Duan would not be a traitor. In addition, before the emperor went to war, Lord Liu tried his best to instigate the emperor to lead the army in person, which was related to this matter."

"But what I saw is exactly the opposite of you." I said in a shocking voice.

"What?" Jian Lingtai was stunned: "What the emperor suspected was Lord Tao. Lord Tao was honest as an official, so how could he be a traitor?"

I sneered: "Ling Tai, why do you want to be an official? I want you to tell the truth."

Jian Lingtai hesitated slightly and then said, "If you come back to the emperor, the Wei minister will become an official, one is to revive the family and to highlight the ancestors. The second is to make his own achievements, that is, to power. In order to meet the above two points, Lingtai will also make some money without causing harm to the people. Of course, Wei ministers also have the idea of ​​serving the country and serving the country and the people."

"Yes, people have selfish desires." I said lightly: "You have selfish desires, Liu Zhenming has selfish desires, and I have selfish desires. It is already quite good to do something for others when satisfying your own selfish desires. But have you ever thought that Lord Tao has selfish desires?"

"Weichen and Lord Tao are not very familiar with each other, so they are not very clear." Jian Lingtai replied in a cold sweat.

"You are not familiar with him, but I am very familiar with him." I sneered: "I have been to the Tao family. Lord Tao showed his integrity. The tea used to entertain me was half a tael of silver per pound of coarse tea. The dinner used to entertain me, and the meal was less than one tael of food. At that time, I was confused by him and thought he was really a good official with integrity. Now it seems that all he did was superficial skill. No matter how poor an official was, he would borrow some silver when he was entertaining the emperor."

I slowly walked forward and calmly said, "Besides, this conspiracy involves four countries, no, or even eight countries. Think about how Liu Zhenming manages the Ministry of Revenue and deals with money, grain, rice and fields all day long. How can he plan and make unified arrangements among these eight countries? However, as the Minister of Rites, Tao Qian is responsible for diplomatic responsibilities, and it is his duty to deal with envoys from various countries. Only he has this convenient condition."

"Also, before I personally fought, the Tao Qian faction had strongly opposed my command of the army, and on the surface it was to prevent me from personally fighting. However, Tao Qian, the old fox, knew my temper very well, and there was no reason not to join in on this kind of excitement. He was trying to block such a way to stop it like this." I laughed: "Tao Qian, Tao Qian. I didn't expect that you were burying so deeply, but I really didn't expect it."

"Your Majesty, Tao Qian doesn't have the army in his hands?" Jian Lingtai frowned and said, "If you can't control the army, even if you put it to the emperor's death, you will probably not be able to ascend the throne."

"No one dares to rebel before he gets Yue Chao's support." I said lightly: "No one is the man named Yue Chao, who has the imperial guards in his hands. In addition, he has guarded several border areas and has a close relationship with the border troops. As long as he calls on the stage, hundreds of thousands of troops will be ready to take action?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean is that General Yue also participated in this rebellion?" Jian Lingtai said in horror.

"Yes, I said. No one dares to rebel without Yue Chao's support." I said coldly.
