Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 676 Military aircraft meeting!

A telegram from Jinling not only changed one person's fate, but also shocked the entire Kangdu political arena.

Lan Yu looked at the latest telegram with a look of disbelief on her face and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the telegram.

"Is this really an appointment from His Majesty the Emperor?"

"If Duke Liang doesn't believe it, you can use your exclusive radio station to ask His Majesty for instructions!"

"Of course I will ask!"

"Not only will I ask, I will also ask several other people."

After saying this, Lan Yu took the telegram and left, and then called Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, and Chang Sheng to send a message to inquire.

The four of them have exclusive telegrams and can directly contact Zhu Yunxi. They can report to Zhu Yunxi on the front line at any time, as well as the impeachment of others. It can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty version of the secret recording system.

"You all send a message to ask His Majesty if this appointment is true!"

"Row!"

At noon, the four people reunited.

"His Royal Highness replied, confirming that this appointment is true!"

Lan Yu nodded when he heard this, and the reply he received was the same, asking him to act as ordered.

But he was still a little unwilling, feeling that Li Ming's identity was suspicious and that he shouldn't be used in such a big way.

"Now that His Majesty has decided, we absolutely cannot change His Majesty's appointment, but we must monitor this person!"

Fu Youde nodded with deep sympathy after hearing this.

"Correct!"

"After all, this person's identity is suspicious. We cannot let it go unchecked. We must take adequate precautions!"

After Fu Youde said this, he looked at Feng Sheng meaningfully.

"Old Feng, do you have any objection?"

Feng Sheng shook his head when he heard this.

"no!"

"We said from the beginning that there was a problem with this person's identity, but at that time we only knew that his identity was false. Unlike a native of Kangdu, we didn't know that this person was an assassin. Now that we know it, of course it's more It’s better to be more prepared!”

Seeing Feng Sheng's statement, Lan Yu immediately slapped the table to set the tone.

"it is good!"

"Since everyone has no objections, Lu Zhiming, please make arrangements to monitor Li Ming one day in the dark and one in the dark. I will find another hidden line and we will form a four-line surveillance."

"promise!"

Kangdu Jinyiwei prison.

Li Ming finally ushered in freedom after three days of interrogation, three days of repeated interrogation, and three days of silence.

"Li Ming, you can go out now!"

When Li Ming heard this, he, who had never believed in the true God, felt the urge to kneel down and worship for the first time.

"Thank you to the true God, thank you to the Ming Dynasty, thank you to His Majesty the Emperor..."

"I will be a good person from now on and be a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations..."

"Good people?"

Lu Zhiming laughed when he heard this.

"You think beautiful!"

"Getting out of my place doesn't mean you are free. You still have to go..."

When Lu Zhiming said this, he deliberately let it slip, which frightened Li Ming and made him fearful again.

"Mr. Lu, is there anything else that the student needs to explain clearly?"

"no!"

"After our research, you gave a very clear explanation. The small country you mentioned did exist and was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. Moreover, we also found your relatives. According to them, they should be the descendants of your uncle."

"what?"

"I still have relatives?"

Li Ming always thought that his whole family was dead and he had long been alone.That's why after meeting Chen Ting and falling deeply in love with her, I couldn't wait to get married.

Because he was tired of being alone and wanted to have a home of his own.

"Master Lu, can students meet them?"

"of course can!"

"But they are in Isfahan, which is quite a distance from us. We won't be able to see them until at least ten days."

"Before meeting them, you still need to go to the military aircraft."

"Military aircraft?"

Li Ming was shocked when he heard this. The most powerful department in Kangdu was the Military Aircraft Department, and all major military and political matters were issued from the Military Aircraft Department.

It can be said that during the absence of His Majesty the Emperor, the Military Aircraft Department is the department that exercises authority on His Majesty's behalf.

"Students...students are going to the military aircraft office?"

"Ok!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has shown mercy. Not only will he not pursue your attempted assassination, he will also grant you the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the position of Assistant Director of the Kangdu Military Aircraft Department."

"what……"

"You said that His Majesty gave me the official position of Ming Dynasty?"

There are two types of positions in Kangdu, one is the Ming official position, and the other is the traditional position in Kangdu area.

Generally speaking, only officials who moved from the Ming Dynasty would retain their official position in the Ming Dynasty and then take on an official position with local characteristics.

This is also a major feature that distinguishes Ming officials from Kangdu local officials. The vast majority of Kangdu locals can only hold official positions with the characteristics of the Kangdu region, and only a few will be specially granted Ming official positions by His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

For example, Prince Mishalan, because he played a major role in the construction of the Kangdu area, was awarded the title of Minister of Industry by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, who also held the title of Caliph of Kangdu.

Li Ming never expected that instead of being suspected by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, he would obtain such a high position and a very honorable official position in the Ming Dynasty!
"Students...students..."

Li Ming was speechless and was moved to tears.

Although Li Ming was very excited, Lu Zhiming could not believe this person.

Because for a professional killer, disguise is a required course.The course of disguise is not just about appearance, but also about expressions, psychological reactions, etc.

Lu Zhiming looked at Li Ming. Even though he was convinced that this man was not lying, he still couldn't believe his sincerity.

"Let me tell you in advance, because of your special experience, our Jinyi Guards will monitor you."

"If you are disgusted with this matter, you can protest to His Majesty, but regardless of whether His Majesty agrees or not, we, the Imperial Guards, have the right to be responsible for the security of the empire!"

Li Ming nodded in understanding.

"This is what it should be. If I were in Mr. Lu's position, I would do the same thing and not inform the other party."

When Lu Zhiming saw that Li Ming was so easy to talk to, he couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.

"Not bad, a very sensible child."

"Work hard in the Ming Dynasty from now on. Our Emperor is the most tolerant and kind. As long as you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to His Majesty, Your Majesty will never be stingy with rewards!"

"Yes Yes……"

Lu Zhiming simply tapped Li Ming and took him to the military aircraft.

"Liang Guogong, I have brought you the man, and I will leave the rest to you."

Lan Yu nodded when he heard this, then waved towards Lu Zhiming to send him away, and then looked Li Ming up and down.

"Are you Li Ming?"

"Students are right!"

"Students have met Liang Guogong!"

As soon as Li Ming bent down, Lan Yu waved her hand towards him.

"wrong!"

"You are no longer a student of Kangdu University, but a minister of the Ming Dynasty. You should bow down to me as an official. I hold the title of Duke, three levels higher than you. You should bow down and bow down! "

"oh oh……"

Li Ming stood up again, took a few steps back, and respectfully knelt down and clasped Lan Yu's hands.

"Is that right?"

Li Ming saw Lan Yu nodding and said quickly.

"I pay my respects to General Lan..."

Lan Yu smiled slightly when he saw this.

"Get up!"

"From now on, you and I are ministers in the same palace, so there is no need to be so formal."

"I will briefly explain the work content to you first. From now on, you will help us sort out the documents. You can also participate when we discuss things."

"But nothing discussed here can be leaked to the outside world, not even to my wife and children!"

"Once there is any leakage of secrets, no matter how big or small, it will be dismissed without mentioning anything, or the whole family will be executed!" Li Ming nodded quickly when he heard this.

"The subordinate understands!"

"The lower official has long known the rules of the Military Aircraft Department through his father-in-law. My father-in-law never mentions the affairs of the Military Aircraft Department when he is at home."

"Well, Lao Chen is still trustworthy. He is the old man that His Majesty used when he was in the dormitory."

"Because of this, you have the opportunity to enter the center. You must be grateful to your father-in-law, otherwise no matter how talented you are, you will never be able to enter the military aircraft department."

"Yes...Xiaoguan understands that Xiaguan lost his parents early and will definitely be as filial to his father-in-law as he is to his biological parents."

Lan Yu felt even more satisfied after hearing this, feeling that this child was really a talent.

"it is good!"

"If you can say this, it's not in vain that Lao Chen defends you in front of us!"

Lan Yu casually betrayed Lao Chen, and then began to formally explain the work.

In fact, the work that Li Ming needs to be responsible for is very simple, because his Ming writing is very ugly, and even if he wanted to do the general transcribing work, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Therefore, there is not much work left. At most, it is odd jobs such as serving tea and water, and running errands for other bosses.

But don't underestimate the handyman job because of this. He works as a handyman in the military aircraft department, but in other departments he is a boss. Every word he speaks represents the military aircraft department, and he is treated as a guest wherever he goes.

After Lan Yu finished explaining to Li Ming, she immediately ordered someone to take him to get the official uniform and waist badge of the Military Aircraft Department. She also gave him half a day off and asked him to go home and catch up with his wife, and then come back to work at the Military Aircraft Department the next day. .

During the period when Li Ming disappeared, Chen Ting was panicked, but no matter how much she inquired, she could not find out Li Ming's whereabouts.Now that she saw her husband coming back, she immediately rushed forward excitedly and kept beating Li Ming.

"Where have you gone? You've made people worry for several days... eh eh eh eh..."

Li Ming was so happy to see Chen Ting so excited.

"Don't be angry, I was invited by Jin Yiwei..."

"What, Jin Yiwei?"

Chen Ting was a native of Ming Dynasty, so she knew how powerful Jin Yiwei was.The two prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty were captured by the Jin Yiwei.In addition, countless officials also died at the hands of Jin Yiwei.

"You are just an ordinary student, how could you mess with Jin Yiwei?"

"It's a long story. Forgive me for deceiving you before. I was actually..."

Chen Ting listened to a long and bizarre story. If Li Ming hadn't told him personally, he was the protagonist in the story. She wouldn't believe it.

"You...you lied to me..."

"Yes, I did lie to you, but I also lied to you because I love you and don't want to cause you trouble..."

"Unexpectedly, General Feng had something to ask of me. I wrote something for General Feng, which attracted the attention of our Emperor. That's why Jin Yiwei called me over to investigate."

"Fortunately, everything is over now. His Majesty, the benevolent Emperor, has pardoned my sins and recruited me into the military aircraft department..."

"Oh oh oh..."

When Chen Ting heard this, she didn't know whether to be happy or depressed for a moment.

She was happy that there were two people in the military aircraft department in her family, but she was depressed that Li Ming dared to lie to her...

"What are you doing in the military aircraft department? Do you have a higher position than my father?"

Li Ming thought about it and felt that he should save some face for his father-in-law.

"How can I be as tall as my father-in-law? I'm just a handyman..."

"Oh...hehe..."

Li Ming explained clearly to Chen Ting and came to the military aircraft office early the next morning to report.

Because he arrived too early, the Military Aircraft Department was only guarded by the guards on duty, and no officials came.

He wanted to clean the conference room of the Military Aircraft Department, but was stopped by the guards in uniform at the door.

"Master Li doesn't need to do these chores. Someone will naturally take care of these chores."

"Then what should I do?"

Jin Yiwei shook his head when he heard this.

"I didn't know that. We are just responsible for guarding the door and preventing outsiders from entering."

Li Mingxian was bored. Seeing a pile of documents on every table, he couldn't help but pick up one and start reading.

He thought it was just an ordinary document, but he never expected to be blinded by the contents as soon as he opened it.

"Chen Ping Bao'er reported to His Majesty the Emperor that King Murad of the Ottomans suspected that he had different intentions and proposed to open a school to the humble minister. When he tried to learn the Ming Dynasty dialect and Ming writing, he resisted. He also secretly ordered people to promote his dialect in the country. It is really unreasonable. Just do what you can."

"I wish to depose Murad and install his youngest son Suleiman as king. Please give me your permission."

Li Ming knew Ping Baoer, who was the general who conquered the Ottomans and the adopted son of His Majesty the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He had a very high prestige in the Ming army.

The reason why Li Ming pays attention to this person is because he heard that this person is very loyal. After hearing that this person not only restrained the Ottoman Emperor's body, but also took the initiative to order a ceasefire, allowing Osman to calmly hold the funeral for Bayezid, he felt that this person was even more important. A very gentlemanly man.

However, such a gentleman, who was known for his loyalty, actually mentioned in his memorial to His Majesty the Ming Emperor that he wanted to assassinate the new Ottoman King, which somewhat subverted his cognition.

Could this be the ruthlessness hidden under Ming's gentle and jade-like appearance?

Li Ming felt that he had to re-examine the Ming Dynasty. This Ming Dynasty did not seem to be the gentle and polite country he knew, and everything was governed by laws and regulations.

Li Ming put down Ping Baoer's memorial and picked up another one to read. He saw another memorial signed by Ping Baoer, but the content was full of endless light compared to the darkness of the previous one.

"Chen Ping Bao'er tells you that the land of the Ottoman Empire is barren and the people have been in great hardship due to their military campaigns over the years."

"I saw with my own eyes that the people of my country eat earthen cakes to satisfy their hunger. Please ask your Majesty to prepare [-] stones of fine potato seeds to help his people's hunger..."

Li Ming held the two memorials in his hands and looked at them back and forth. He couldn't figure out that these two completely different memorials were written by the same person.

Is this what the teacher at Kangdu University calls the king on the outside but the sage on the inside?
Just when Li Ming was puzzled, he suddenly heard a slight cough from the door.He suddenly looked up and saw that Lan Yu and several other military ministers had walked to the door and were looking at him quietly.

Upon seeing this, he quickly stood up from his chair and saluted several people respectfully.

Lan Yu and others nodded to him upon hearing this, then sat down and started a new day's work.

Lan Yu rummaged around on his desk, then looked at Li Ming. Seeing this, Li Ming hurriedly handed over the two memorials in his hand.Lan Yu took the memorial and joked to Li Ming with a smile.

"Young man has good eyesight. He just picked up today's top secret!"

Li Ming quickly apologized after hearing this, but Lan Yu waved her hand indifferently.

"Your Majesty is of great use to you. You can read the memorial here, but you can't go out and say it!"

"Yes, please keep this in mind!"

Lan Yu finished beating Li Ming and then said to everyone.

"Let's discuss it. Ping Bao'er wants to do what Dong Zhuo did, depose Murad and make Murad's son Suleiman the king. What do you think?"

Zhang Zongjun was the first to object.

"I don't think this matter is right. Murad is older and has a certain prestige in the Ottomans. Although he is not very obedient, his rash decision to abolish the throne will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the local Ottoman nobles."

"The Ottomans are not comparable to small countries such as Japan. Even in the entire Western world, the Ottomans are a big country. When dealing with big countries, they should slowly learn from it and penetrate it bit by bit..."

Fu Youde took over what Zhang Zongjun said and continued.

"I don't think it's appropriate either!"

"Murad is quite submissive so far and has not made any big mistakes. If he rashly abolishes the establishment of the Ottoman Empire, I am afraid that chaos will arise in the Ottoman Empire, which will only increase the difficulty of governance."

Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Lan Yu didn't ask Feng Sheng, who only had ears, for advice.

"Row!"

"I also think this matter is inappropriate, so our opinion is three to one, and we can formulate a solution."

After Lan Yu said this, he wrote down some draft opinions on the memorial, and then ordered someone to send it to the telegraph room, so that it could be passed to Jinling as soon as possible.

"Ping Bao'er also has a request for relief. How about you guys take a look at each other?"

Fu Youde and others circulated it to each other, and their opinions were obviously deviated this time.

Fu Youde and Feng Sheng held positive opinions, and both felt that this move was very good. It not only alleviated the Ottoman food shortage problem, but also demonstrated the benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that the two of them had agreed, Lan Yu was about to make a final decision when two opposing voices came out.

One of these two voices comes from Zhang Zongjun and the other comes from Li Ming.

"inappropriate!"

"Isn't... appropriate?"

Lan Yu looked at Fu Youde in surprise, and then at Li Ming, who felt a little guilty.

"Which one of you will speak first?"

Zhang Zongjun glanced at Li Ming meaningfully and said with a smile.

"Let me ask Li Xiaoyou to speak first."

When Feng Sheng saw this, he immediately looked at Li Ming with a cold face.

"Li Ming, you have only been in the Military Aircraft Department for a few days, and you dare to point fingers at the Military Aircraft Department?"

"Why don't you quickly apologize to General Lan!"

Li Ming was about to plead guilty to Lan Yu when he saw Lan Yu smiling and waving her hands.

"It's okay!"

"Your Majesty dares to reuse you, how can I not let you speak."

"Since Mr. Zhang asked you to speak first, you might as well say it."
