Peerless Pirates

"What conditions?" the little emperor asked blankly.

"Has your Majesty ever considered sending an official mission to the Kingdom of Shu? It is a big deal, especially since we are going to bring the flames of war to people's doorsteps. It would be too much trouble to send me just a small doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette. At least in the future. In the eyes of the people of Shu, our Da Qi is just trying to deal with and deceive, and we don’t even dare to send out any important ministers.”

"Oh?" The little emperor slapped his head, and then he realized that although Song Zheng was his "teacher", his position was indeed not high. Song Zheng's highest position should be Yousi Jianzheng, and this is From the official position of the fourth rank. So, if Song Zheng leaves Yousi, he will only have the official position of Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, which is a full fifth rank. As for the palace instructor, it is not an official position at all; and the position of imperial guard is also a virtual one, and it is more of a Honorary title.

Every three days when there is a court meeting, the Imperial Guards must stand at the gate of the Tai Chi Hall to guard the door. After the court meeting, they will end their duties. It usually only takes a few months, so the Imperial Guards are not in the rank, they just get a share. The salary of a general. This position is often awarded to the children of meritorious deeds. For example, Huang Yue has always been the imperial guard.

Calculated in this way, when Song Zheng went to Shu as an envoy, he was only a fifth-rank official. For a seventeen-year-old boy, even the number one scholar in civil and military affairs was very high, and he was also the youngest in the history of Daqi. We know that even if an ordinary Jinshi enters the Hanlin Academy, he is only a seventh-rank scholar, equivalent to a county magistrate.

"Master Song, is your condition for promotion?" Pang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and offered Song Zheng a promotion. He was still very willing.

Song Zheng shook his head, "I have been appointed as a fifth-grade doctor at the age of seventeen, and it is difficult for me to fulfill my duties. If I am promoted again, I am afraid that the government and the public will be shaken. My condition is that the minister in charge of the department should be the chief envoy, and I should be the deputy envoy. That's it. Only in this way can it reflect the importance that Da Qi attaches to Shu."

"Servant in charge? Isn't that Uncle Er Guo?" The little emperor was stunned for a moment, grinned, and murmured, "Master Song is right. It would be a bit reckless to let Master Song go alone. OK! According to Master Song’s opinion, I will discuss it with the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Let me ask first, does Your Majesty think the Prime Minister will agree?"

"Since he asked Master Song to go to Shu and take on a big responsibility, how could he not do something himself?" the little emperor said bitterly. He also felt that he had been deceived by Huang Yuandu.

Song Zheng shook his head, "Does Your Majesty know how dangerous it is to go to Shu?"

"What? The Kingdom of Shu dares to kill me, the envoy of the Qi Dynasty?" The young emperor still believes that Song Zheng's trip to the Kingdom of Shu will be difficult and tiring at most, so there will be no danger.

Song Zheng just chewed his teeth. After all, this little emperor was still too young. There was no other way, so Song Zheng had no choice but to express his analysis. In particular, he mentioned that Jiang Kui, the former deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, was now in Shu, and He held the important position of the general in charge of the palace guards. The function of the palace guards in Shu was similar to that of the Imperial City Department in Daqi and Feilongyuan in Xixia. It was also an intelligence agency. The general in charge of the palace guards was equivalent to Capital Commander of the Imperial City Division.

The little emperor knew about the grudge between Song Zheng and Jiang Kui, who were considered mortal enemies. And Da Qi wanted to bring the war to their doorstep, so how could they be polite to the Da Qi envoys?

Only then did Pang Ying realize that Huang Yuandu was harboring evil intentions when he sent Song Zheng as an envoy to Shu.

"Master Song, I won't let you go, I... let Huang Song go to Shu!" the little emperor said through gritted teeth, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Song Zheng sighed and had to say, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, all the ministers in this dynasty are waiting to be put to death. At this time, as long as the Prime Minister ascends to the top and makes it clear that he wants to punish the ministers, it will be hard for the prince to talk. .After all, the 160,000 taels of silver I mentioned just now is far inferior to the support of the prime minister."

Indeed, Da Qi's external military use cost more than millions, and all of this was financed by Huang Yuandu. If Huang Yuandu did not express his stance, Song Zheng's 160,000 taels of silver could still make Pang Hui say a word. If Huang Yuandu expressed his stance, then Pang Hui would have to say something. Hinoki definitely won't say anything.

The little emperor sat slumped on the dragon chair, suddenly raised his hand and slapped his face hard, "I'm confused, I'm confused!" The frightened Song Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Pang Ying's wrist. The whole cabinet was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground, with a look of jealousy and gloating in his eyes. .png)'span can make the emperor slap himself, Da Qi There is only one person named Song Zheng.

What happened today was a big blow to the little emperor, and Song Zheng couldn't bear to add to the anger. After letting go of the little emperor's wrist, Song Zheng comforted him, "Your Majesty, the matter is not completely irreversible. Please listen to me."

"What else can we do? Master Song, please tell me!" Pang Ying grabbed Song Zheng's wrist like a child about to drown.

Song Zheng struggled lightly, but did not break away, so he had to let it hold him, "Your Majesty, if you propose to let Uncle Erguo go to Shu, the Prime Minister will definitely not agree. Therefore, Your Majesty needs to pretend that he is not happy and make some decisions. Afterwards, I proposed to let Lu Junqing lead the soldiers to protect the minister."

"Master Song is really going to Shu? Lu Junqing? Hasn't his illness recovered? Plus he's old, how can he protect Master Song's safety?"

Song Zheng curled his lips and said, "He is ill, but I can guarantee that as long as I leave Yousi, his illness will be cured immediately!"

"This old man!" The little emperor let go of Song Zheng's hand and slapped the table hatefully. He didn't know whether he was scolding Lu Junqing or Huang Yuandu. Of course, he had already realized that as long as Song Zheng left, Shui Ding would be at your side. Memoirs of being unable to support the main tank in World of Warcraft.

"So, before I leave Yousi, I must deal with Lu Junqing! At the very least, he cannot be allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of Yousi again!" Song Zheng said categorically, "This is a series of plans. The Holy One proposed that the two uncles go to Shu to get the Prime Minister. I will find various reasons to object. So the Holy One will do the next best thing and let Lu Junqing accompany me. The Prime Minister will definitely not allow Lu Jun to accompany his ministers to the Kingdom of Shu on the grounds that Lu Jun is old and sick. In this way, the Holy One can As the tide goes, since Lu Junqing is sick and has difficulty performing his duties, then let Lu Junqing give up his position as the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Division."

"Then Shuiding can take over as the Commander-in-Chief of Yousi?"

Song Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Mr. Shui has just arrived at Yousi and is not familiar with the situation. Moreover, the rectification of Yousi is far from over yet. Even if the Holy Spirit forcibly corrects Mr. Shui, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to shoulder the responsibility."

"Then, didn't Yousi Dutong fall into Shao Zhijie's hands?"

Song Zheng took a deep breath, "Well... Rong Chen will drink a glass of water first, and then explain it to the Holy Master in detail." He picked up the little emperor's teacup, took a sip, and muttered in a low voice, "This tea is almost tasteless. Already."

The little emperor was just hearing the important point. Hearing what Song Zheng said, he quickly ordered, "Little noble son, go to the inner treasury and bring the best tea leaves and brew them for Master Song!"

At this time, Qian Manqian had already gotten up and stood aside with his eyes and nose in mind, but his ears were twitched, and he was obviously listening with gusto. However, he was far away and did not hear Song Zheng's mumbling clearly. He obviously heard the emperor's instructions clearly and hurriedly went down to prepare new tea.

After the money filled the cabinet and left the gate of Xizhai Hall, Song Zhengcai whispered, "After I left Yousi, Ke Zhuo Muyu served as the governor of Yousi, Gonggong Shui and Shao Zhijie served as deputy governors, and Yuan Rong served as the supervisor of Yousi. As for the punishment of Yousi To appoint the post of envoy of execution and commander of the right division of Gyeonggi Province, the Holy Emperor has to send his own candidates, and the same cannot fall into the hands of the Prime Minister."

"Mu Yu? Yuan Rong?" Pang Ying repeated, looking at Song Zheng with some suspicion.

"These two people are absolutely reliable. They have both sworn to me to be loyal to the Holy Majesty. In fact, these two people have some connections with me." Then, Song Zheng briefly explained the experience of Mu Yu and himself. What time is it.

The little emperor's eyes lit up. Only then did he realize why Song Zheng chose Mu Yu to be sentenced. It turned out that they had been linked together for a long time. Huang Yuandu should have agreed to promote Mu Yu and Yuan Rong. Although Although Lu Junqing was captured, Mu Yu and Yuan Rong were also old Dark Eagles and had always been trusted by the Prime Minister.

When Pang Ying looked Song Zheng up and down again, she realized that this palace instructor who was only one year older than herself turned out to be so unfathomable. Unfortunately, because of her carelessness, she fell into Huang Yuandu's trap and wanted to kill Master Song with her own hands. Sent into danger.

Song Zheng did not say a word of complaint, but instead planned everything for Pang Ying. This made Pang Ying so moved that her eyes were red.

"The arrangements mentioned by Cai Chen just now need to be discussed with the Prime Minister after the court meeting tomorrow. Now, the Holy One only needs to have someone send a letter to the Prime Minister, saying that I have agreed to go to Shu, and also giving him a hint , if you want to kill the minister, let Uncle Er Guo go. Presumably the Prime Minister will not take the lead tomorrow and join the minister again. In addition, the Lord had better send someone to the Duke's Mansion today to send a message, implying that Lu Bing will not be held accountable. Xuan. Ask him to also greet those officials who have contact with the Duke's government and stop making noise tomorrow."

Pang Ying nodded, "I will make arrangements immediately. Master Song will personally make a trip to the palace."

Song Zheng smiled and said, "I accept the order. In addition, I also asked for instructions. I will arrest two more corrupt officials tonight!"

"Catch corrupt officials?" The little emperor was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Song Zheng would be in such a situation and still want to arrest people.

Song Zheng pointed to several memorials on the little emperor's desk and said nothing.

"Okay! As long as Master Song has clear evidence in his hands, I will chop off their heads tomorrow!" the little emperor said viciously. The above memorials all advocate killing Song Zheng to thank the world, but there are two of them. They are very unclean. Song Zheng has their materials in his hands.

Since people advocated killing Song Zheng, Song Zheng would not be polite anymore and would take their heads first. Anyway, as long as Huang Jiao and Huang Yuandu didn't speak, and Pang Hui said something fair, he wouldn't do it in the court tomorrow. There will be danger again.

With the money in the cupboard, I finally got someone to fetch new tea, brewed it, and hurriedly brought it to the West Studio. When I heard the murderous words of the little emperor, I trembled with fright, and the water in the teapot splashed out and poured on his hands. He groaned in pain, and the whole teapot fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Song Zheng felt happy, but he also hurriedly shouted, "My dear father-in-law, is it okay?"

How could anyone dare to pay any attention to Song Zheng when the cabinet was full of money? He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Pang Ying was already upset today, but when she saw the cabinet full of money, she couldn't help but get angry, "You bastard, you can't handle this, what's the use of you! Go to the back and get a hundred sticks!"

The cabinet is full of money and he kowtows like garlic, "I know my sin, I know my sin."

Song Zheng secretly sighed, Qian Mancai is a villain, if he really gets a stick this time, his anger will definitely be turned on himself. Just ask for mercy for him.

"Your Majesty, this matter is my fault. If I hadn't been cunning, my father-in-law would not have been asked to get new tea. Your father-in-law is very loyal and was in a hurry to change the tea for His Majesty, which is why he made this mistake. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. .”

The little emperor felt guilty towards Song Zheng. When he saw him pleading for money, he snorted softly, "Since Master Song has spoken for you and spared you once, if you are so rash next time, I will give you a stick again! Those things Where is the tea? How many kilograms can I carry for Master Song?"

The cupboard was full of money and he grinned, "It's being prepared in the side hall. This tea is the best Dahongpao, and there are still three kilograms in the inner treasury."

"Get them all in a moment and have them delivered to Master Song's residence."

"Your Majesty, I..." Song Zheng knew that this was the little emperor's apology to him, so he still had to refuse to save his face. Before he could say anything, Pang Ying waved his hand, "Forget it, just a few kilograms of tea leaves. Whatever, Master Song will accept it."

"Thank you!"
