Daming Junior Scholar

The dragon chair must not be given up, but what kind of reward should be given to He Jiaan is worrying Zhengde. He Jiaan is not yet 30 years old, but he has already taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and his promotion speed is like a rocket. Jumping up, if he is promoted to three levels in a row, wouldn't he have to give up the position of Grand Bachelor?

A bachelor under the age of 30?

A bachelor who hasn't even gone through the imperial examination?

What a joke, this is absolutely not allowed.

This time Zhengde was in trouble, and he didn't know how to reward He Jia'an, he hesitated for a long time, then turned his head and asked: "Then according to your opinion, how should He Aiqing be rewarded?"

This is what Zhang Yong and others said. If he follows his agreement with King Ning, King Ning will be ready to rebel in less than two years. By then, He Jiaan, who is strong and strong, will naturally become King Ning on the way forward. A stumbling block, I might as well take this opportunity to let him move it away, and save him from spoiling King Ning's good deeds.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yong said slowly: "Your Majesty, in fact, based on the old slave's understanding of Mr. He, he actually doesn't pay much attention to these rewards. The old slave thinks that the only thing Mr. He values ​​is Daming's foreign trade. I remember that he talked so much to His Majesty last time, according to this old slave, His Majesty might as well imitate the achievements of Grandfather Cheng and the Three Treasures Eunuch..."

"You mean... sailing to the West?" Zhengde finally understood what Zhang Yong was talking about after hearing this. He himself is not a quiet master. Yes, it's just that I have never found such an opportunity. Now that I heard Zhang Yong's bewitching, I suddenly moved my mind, blinked my eyes and nodded slowly: "Do you think He Aiqing will agree?"

Seeing Zhengde's appearance, Zhang Yong didn't know that he must be encouraged by his own words, and he quickly persuaded: "Go back to Long live Lord, with the old slave's understanding of Mr. He, it should be difficult for him to refuse this proposal, but right now His naval strength is too weak, and it may be difficult to take shape if he goes to the West now. It just so happens that Mr. He brought so much money back this time. Long Live Lord might as well be a favor and give Mr. He some of the money to speed up the progress of the warship. It may take less than two years to build a ship, and he will be able to have an invincible fleet, and then let those Westerners see the style of my great tomorrow."

Zhang Yong's words tickled Zhengde's itch. What he thought about all the time was how to let others see his majesty. If He Jia'an can really go to the West for me, maybe he can really copy Chengzu's back then. Weiye, it's only two years, I can still afford to wait.

Just when the two chatted more and more heatedly, a little eunuch finally reported from outside, saying that Master He Jiaan had already entered Beijing, and he was waiting in front of the palace gate to be summoned.

He Aiqing, is he really back?

Zhengde had waited for so many days, looking forward to this moment, and regardless of the fact that it was almost dusk outside, he hurriedly announced He Jia'an into the palace.

Not long after, He Jiaan had already arrived outside the Imperial Study Room. When Zhengde saw He Jiaan, he was taken aback, and quickly asked, "He Aiqing, you... what's wrong?"

At this time, He Jiaan's body and face looked as if he had just come out of a stove, covered with thick black ash, and every time he took a step, there would be faint black smoke floating from his body.

He Jia'an quickly explained: "Your Majesty, there are really too many members of the White Lotus Sect, and the ministers also joined the ranks of the clearing, so it has become like this, because they are thinking about reporting the victory to His Majesty in time, so they have not had time to clean up in the future. "

Hearing this, Zhengde was immediately moved, seeing if he was the minister of the humerus, thinking that Zhengde had personally stepped down from the dragon chair, and went to He Jiaan's side to pat the dust off his body, He smiled and said: "He Aiqing has worked hard, I have been waiting for a long time, tell me the final result."

He Jiaan nodded, but suddenly said: "I have one more thing, I hope His Majesty can forgive me once."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhengde was taken aback for a moment.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that I was captured by the White Lotus Sect a few years ago?"

"It seems to be the case." Zhengde nodded.

"When the minister left, he had privately made a life-long appointment with the Saintess of the White Lotus Sect. She had promised to disband the White Lotus Sect within three years, but so many years had passed, but she had never been able to accomplish this. This time, there happened to be a silver boat The news of entering Beijing spread to the White Lotus Sect, so she wanted to use this opportunity to eradicate the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, so that she could live a normal life again."

Listening to He Jiaan's words was like listening to a story again. Zhengde opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked slowly after a long while: "Then where is this heroine now?"

"Just outside the door."

"Zhang Yong, Xuanbai Lianjiao saintess comes in."

chapter 1327

chapter 1327

"An audience with the Saintess of the White Lotus Religion."

Even if they heard it in their ears, many people probably wondered if they heard it wrong. What is the White Lotus Sect?The number one cult in the world has hundreds of thousands of members alone. It has always been a serious problem for the imperial court. It is too late to exterminate it. How could it announce the audience of the White Lotus Sect saint?

Amidst the confusion of the maids, eunuchs, and guards, Lin Shuying tidied up her clothes, and followed the little eunuch into the imperial study room. The moment she entered the room, she looked up at the direction of Zhengde, But he stopped, and saluted from a distance, with a clear and pleasant voice: "Long live the sinner Lin Shuying."

what!

Just that one glimpse, Lin Shuying's appearance left a deep imprint on Zhengde's heart. Although he has three thousand beauties in the harem, he has never had such a beautiful woman with such temperament. Like a rose, I want to reach out to pick it, but I am afraid that I will bleed myself.

What's more, just now He Jia'an made it clear that he had already made a private decision with this woman for life, and he was one step too late.

Thinking about it this way, Zhengde became a little jealous of He Jia'an. Although he didn't marry many women, each of them was a charming beauty, as if he had picked all the flowers in the world and left them for himself. Only some dead branches and leaves are left.

"Cough!" Probably because he stared at others for too long, Zhengde quickly lowered his head and coughed, and then said with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't talk about criminals anymore, Mr. He has already told me about your achievements just now. , you are not only innocent but also have a great contribution, this time you can destroy the White Lotus Sect, apart from Master He's strategizing, Miss Lin should remember the first credit."

"Minnv is ashamed, she just did what she was supposed to do."

"Miss Lin is too modest. Without you, my world would be on the verge of collapse, but I still have a problem, and I need Miss Lin to help me a little."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Lin Shuying was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe." Zhengde smiled: "If the holy woman is a man, I can grant officials, honors, and fiefdoms, but Miss Lin is a woman, so it's hard for me now, what reward should I give you? "

This is not helping, this is clearly trying to ask myself what reward I want.

Lin Shuying was stunned, but shook her head with a smile: "Your Majesty, the greatest wish of a Minnen in this life is to be able to grow old with the one I love. If it is not troublesome, Minnv would like to ask Your Majesty to marry my family for me." Ann presided over the wedding."

Uh……?

Zhengde, who is not afraid of big things, was taken aback when he heard Lin Shuying's request. Just when Lin Shuying felt uneasy, Zhengde suddenly stood up from his chair, nodded with a smile on his face: "Lin Shuying Miss Lin made a good request, since I became the throne, I have never presided over a marriage, since Miss Lin has a request, then I will grant it, Zhang Yong..."

As soon as Zhengde greeted him, Zhang Yong immediately stood up: "Your Majesty."

"Go and ask the people in the Ministry of Rites to calculate which day is auspicious. I want to personally preside over the marriage between He Aiqing and Miss Lin."

Having been with Zhengde for so many years, Zhang Yong naturally knew what kind of temperament he was, so he quickly responded and withdrew, but He Jiaan looked at Lin Shuying blankly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Looking for this unreliable guy, this time I will be offended.

He felt that this matter was unreliable, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He Jiaan quickly thanked Zhengde for his kindness. Seeing that it was getting late outside and the gates were about to close in the palace, if he didn't go out, he might be dead tonight. Really can't get out.

He Jia'an hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not too early at this time. The ministers and others will leave first. The Yinche and White Lotus Sect prisoners will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow. Your Majesty is ready to count them."

"No rush." ​​Unexpectedly, Zhengde didn't mean to follow the routine at all, he waved his hands and said: "This is not in the palace, there are many empty rooms in the Leopard Room, just ask Zhang Yong to prepare one for you. There is something I want to discuss with He Aiqing."

This……

Since Zhengde refused to let him go, He Jiaan could only stay and looked at Zhengde in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to say to him.

When Zhengde sat down again, he thought about it again, and then asked lightly: "How much silver did He Aiqing bring back this time?"

He Jiaan had already remembered this number in his heart, and nodded: "The total is 350 million taels."

"Oh, there are so many." Zhengde responded, and when He Jiaan was not sure what Zhengde wanted to express, Zhengde suddenly asked: "Does He Aiqing know that Chengzu sent people to the West?"

Of course we know about Zheng He's voyages, as long as it is a story that elementary school students have heard.

He Jiaan nodded, still with a blank face: "I know."

"That's a good deal." Zhengde nodded, as if he had made some decision, and said firmly: "Then can He Aiqing take a trip to the West for me?"

"Ah?" He Jiaan was really surprised by Zhengde's words this time, did he mean to let himself lead troops to the West?

Of course, this idea is not impossible. It just so happened that I also had this idea in my heart, otherwise Tang Lin would not be able to stay in Guangzhou. A team of tens of thousands of people, but what about the current self?Except for the few Franc boats, there is almost nothing.

"What's the problem with He Aiqing?" He Jiaan's reaction didn't surprise Zhengde, but right now he can't find anyone who can do this for him, so no matter what problem He Jiaan has, he can do it himself. Get rid of it for him.
