Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1530 Conspiracy to sacrifice to the sea

   Light snow fell in the sky again, like a handful of fine salt floating from the sky, and the ground that had just been cleaned was covered with a thin layer of whiteness. The maids in the palace did not have time to rest, so they began to sweep the snow again, so that the platform would not be slippery if it fell on the nobles in the palace.

   "Father, it's snowing and the steps are slippery, please slow down." Zhao Wenhua supported Yan Song attentively and walked out of Wuyi Hall, with such attentiveness that even the servants who were sweeping aside would be ashamed.

   "Yes." Yan Song nodded in satisfaction, and was supported by Zhao Wenhua to move forward.

"Father, be careful. This section of steps is made of white marble. It's fine on weekdays. It's the easiest to slip after snow. Please wait for a while." I stepped on that piece of white jade steps and felt that it was not slippery, then got up to help Yan Song again, and said, "It's not slippery now, stepfather, please go slowly."

   "Meicun has a heart." Yan Song patted Zhao Wenhua's hand after walking up the steps, and said with sincere satisfaction.

   "The adoptive father has praised him, this is what a child should do. It is the foster father's kindness that the child can have today."

  After hearing Yan Song's praise, Zhao Wenhua smiled like a child who was praised by an elder.

  Yan Song felt very relieved.

   "Bah."

  In the distance, Li Mo saw Zhao Wenhua taking off his cloak to pave the way for Yan Song, and spat shamelessly.

   "Heh, Li Shangshu, some people are born without a backbone and are willing to be sons of dogs, what can you do to them."

  Nie Bao approached Li Mo slowly, twitched the corner of his mouth, echoed, and was also extremely shameless towards Zhao Wenhua's dog-licking behavior.

   "Nie Shangshu, I don't know if I have time today. It has something to do with the court today. How about discussing it?".

   Li Mo's eyes lit up when he saw Nie Bao. He admired Nie Bao for daring to fight against the strict party, so he couldn't help inviting him softly.

   "Hehe, Li Shangshu, Nie also has the same intention. I heard that Li Shangshu has good tea in his possession. I don't know if this one has a good taste today?" Nie Bao smiled.

   "As long as Nie Shangshu doesn't dislike it, there will be enough tea." Li Mo replied with a smile, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Nie Shangshu, please."

   "Li Shangshu, please.".

   After Nie Bao stretched out his hand to give way, the two walked side by side to the outside of Xiyuan, communicating in low voices all the way.

  In the distance, Zhao Wenhua walked out of Xiyuan slowly with the help of Yan Song.

   "Meimura, the "Seven Events of the Imperial Japanese Army" you submitted today is really good and insightful, but it was an accident for me. It can be seen that the Holy One is also very satisfied with your "Seven Events of the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army."

  Yan Song mentioned Zhao Wenhua's "Seven Events of the Imperial Japanese Army", and couldn't help praising it softly in satisfaction.

   "It's all thanks to the foster father's teaching." Zhao Wenhua replied with a shy smile.

   "Hehe, Plum Village, you don't have to be modest. I can see that you put your heart into it. Yes, keep working hard. The more capable you are, the happier I am. I'm getting old and I need someone to help me solve my problems."

  Yan Song patted Zhao Wenhua's shoulder lightly to show encouragement, and said with a very gentle smile.

"Thank you foster father for your encouragement. My child will definitely work hard and strive to solve the problems for foster father as soon as possible." Zhao Wenhua took the opportunity to show his loyalty, then sighed, and said with some regret, "Father foster, the fly in the ointment is that during today's court meeting, The person surnamed Li also criticized the boy surnamed Nie for the first, fourth, and sixth strategies in "Seven Events Against the Japanese". If the boy hadn't reacted faster and prepared earlier, I'm afraid he would have been stumped by them."

"Hehe, this is a good thing. Originally, I was worried about how to deal with them, but now they are in trouble. Of the seven things you said, the first and sixth things are the most pleasing to the Holy Spirit. Li Mo is conceited, However, he is opposed to offering sacrifices to the sea, hehe, don’t you see what will happen to those who oppose the Holy Master’s Xuanxuan cultivation?! He is asking the Holy Master to hate him, and at least half of his goodwill in the Holy Master’s heart has been consumed. When it's exhausted, it's time for him to call the curtain."

  Yan Song laughed sinisterly, the creases on his face were dizzy a lot, and his old eyes were squinted.

"And Nie Bao, hmph, the Holy Majesty appointed the governor of Jiangnan, the governor of Shandong, Nanzhili, Huguang, Liangguang, Zhejiang, Fujian and other seven provinces with military and military pay, holding nearly half of the military power, hehe, how can people be at ease. The Holy Majesty is in control of the power and the prestige is unshakable. He will definitely not ignore this hidden danger. It is inevitable to send ministers to inspect the military situation in the south of the Yangtze River. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Nie Bao cannot understand the deep meaning of the Holy Majesty. Hehe, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Well, wait and see, Plum Village, it can be as short as a few days, or as long as a few months, and Nie Bao has to pack up and leave."

  Yan Song said with confidence, and firmly predicted that Nie Bao, Minister of the Ministry of War, would do it well.

   What Li Mo committed was Zang Fuxiuxuan, but what Nie Bao committed was the taboo of Emperor Jiajing—power! What is the purpose of Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of Xuanxuan? Isn't it to be able to control the power of the whole country for a long time!

   "Ah? Foster father, is it true or not? My article on the Seven Stories of Japanese Imperialism can still have such an unexpected effect?"

  Zhao Wenhua looked incredible, with surprise and joy on his face.

   "Hehe, this is also a surprise, who would have thought that they would jump into the pit by themselves, and could stop them?!"

  Yan Song laughed.

   "I can't stop them, of course I can't stop them. I still need to find a few stones and smash them hard."

  Zhao Wenhua also smiled like a fox.

  The two looked at each other and laughed for a long time.

   "Father, there is one more thing I want to ask my father." Zhao Wenhua cupped his hands with a fawning smile when he sent Yan Song to the sedan chair.

   "Hehe, let me guess, is it the first thing in your "Seven Things about the Japanese Emperor", offering sacrifices to the sea." Yan Song looked at Zhao Wenhua with a smile, his old dim eyes burst into light, as if his eyes could see through.

  It was seen through at a glance, the foster father is worthy of being a foster father! Zhao Wenhua couldn't help opening his mouth wide in surprise, and quickly smiled flatteringly, "Hey, the adoptive father is worthy of being a adoptive father. He can see through the child's thoughts at a glance. It really is the father who knows the son. I also ask the adoptive father to speak a lot of good words in front of the saint. The child thinks Go to the south of the Yangtze River to offer sacrifices to the sea. My child is quite familiar with fasting and sacrificial offerings, and I am sure that I will be able to take on this important task, share the worries of the Holy One, and not embarrass my adoptive father."

"Hehe, it's easy to talk about Jihai. Your conditions are suitable, and I still have a little face in front of the Holy One. It will not be difficult for you to win the job of Jihai." Yan Song nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhao Wenhua meaningfully, "If you If you want to shoulder the errand of inspecting the military situation in the south of the Yangtze River, you need to plan a lot."

   "Hey, you can't hide anything from your adoptive father." Zhao Wenhua shrank his neck and laughed,

   "The boy is not for himself. We are short of manpower in the army, and this Jiangnan Governor may not be able to win, but if this job of inspecting the Jiangnan military situation is won, it will be no worse than the Jiangnan Governor."

  Yan Song heard the words, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Well, you really put your heart into it. Yes, this task of inspecting the military situation in the south of the Yangtze River is really extraordinary, and it must be in our hands."

   "The adoptive father is wise." Zhao Wenhua quickly flattered him.

   "Go back to my house and call Shang Maoqing and the others. Let's plan carefully." Yan Song instructed softly.

   "As ordered." Zhao Wenhua was overjoyed.
