The emperor is embarrassed

Hero Ruan Hongfei fell into the hands of Ming Zhan and was stationed in the imperial capital for many years. Therefore, except for extremely important decisions, most of Du Ruoguo's affairs were handled by Tianshu.

This time, Ruan Hongfei originally wanted to go back to help Ming Zhan, but unexpectedly went to sea and was robbed by Li Fang and Chen Dabao.

Tianshu's news is quite well-informed, but, first, there is no rush to rescue Ruan Hongfei.

Speaking of Tianshu, Ming Zhan is not very familiar with this person. He only knows that he is Ruan Hongfei's confidant. He used to pursue Wei Ning vigorously for more than ten years. He is very stupid.Seeing him chasing Ruan Hongfei, it will be done in three to five years. This is called efficiency.In fact, Tianshu was originally a little beggar picked up by Ruan Hongfei when he was in exile. After cleaning up and seeing people, he followed Ruan Hongfei to serve him. Over time, Ruan Hongfei picked up many more people.Tianshu came early, and his qualifications were old. In terms of seniority, he ranked himself No. 1 under Ruan Hongfei's sect.

Of course, this statement was later cast aside by many people.

Especially his best friend, Cheng En Gong Wei Ning.Wei Ning thought to himself, what a fart you are, I have been fooling around listening to Hong Fei's lectures and Taoism in the East Palace in the early years.I guess you were still looking for food on the streets at that time. With this kind of virtue, you dare to call yourself No. 1 in Hongfei Six Times, Wei Ning blush for Tianshu.

Tianshu himself didn't blush at all, he was quite proud of himself.

In other words, Ruan Hongfei was robbed halfway.Wei Ning was so anxious when he found out, Tianshu saw that Wei Ning was anxious, felt a little jealous, and said, "At this time, if we rush to save Mr., we won't be able to save him. We have to show that we don't care, Li Fang Only then can they relax their vigilance. Besides, sir has other orders."

Wei Ning was quite concerned about the country and the people, knowing that these pirates joined hands to go ashore to plunder Jiangnan.However, although he was very anxious about Jiangnan, he didn't say to ask Tianshu to send troops to rescue. After all, Du Ruoguo is an independent country. If he didn't say anything, Du Ruoguo's army would land in Tianchao. Interested people interpret it as aggression or looting.

Politics is a very complicated thing. If things go wrong, a group of good intentions may do bad things.

Second, Ruan Hongfei did have other arrangements. Tianshu took advantage of the opportunity to rob Zhang Laoliu Zhenghu's lair.

This incident made Tianshu famous in the sea.

After raiding the old lair of Zhang Laoliu and Zheng Huo, Tianshufang personally took people and boats to Li Fang's place for negotiations.At this time, the war in Jiangnan continued.

Li Fang regretted it for a long time. He originally wanted to gain some benefits in the battle of the Tatar imperial capital, but he didn't expect to lose a lot of money instead of stealing chickens.After one day's work at Tianjin Port, he knew that the young master's plan would not work out.However, at this time, he offended Ruan Hongfei and the imperial capital. In the future, it may not be easy for him to gain a foothold in the sea.

Just when Li Fang hesitated and sighed secretly, Tianshu came.

Within two days, the envoys from the imperial capital also arrived.

Li Fang was stunned for a moment, he could guess the reason for Tianshu's visit.However, why did the emperor send someone here at this time?

As a pirate who has dominated the sea for many years, Li Fang is also quite dignified. He ordered people to prepare wine, banquets and tea to receive the envoy.

Li Fang and Tianshu are very familiar, and Tianshu secretly made a lot of money, making Li Fang greedy, not to mention jealous.Li Fang laughed loudly, patted Tianshu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tianshu is really capable, what is this called, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, Lao Li has to obey you."

Tianshu is gentle, with a light brown complexion, warm facial features, and soft eyes, but he is a little tougher than ordinary scholars. He waved his hands and said politely, "It's all my husband's clever tricks, I'm just following orders."

Regretted, "Sir, I wanted to invite Boss Li to make a fortune together, but Boss Li mistrusted someone else."

At this moment, Li Fang also knew that he believed in the wrong son.

But things have come to this, Li Fang will naturally have to bear the consequences for what he does, he is quite heroic, he laughed, "Then next time there is such a good thing, brother Tianshu will have to call my brother plum."

"Mr. is a guest at Boss Li's place. What should be said, Mister must have settled with Boss Li early on." Tianshu didn't come to Li Fang's place to drink and joke, and said softly, "I wonder if it would be convenient for me to meet Mr. Li?"

The damn Du Ruoguo people are weird, the good boss is not called the boss, the boss is not called the boss, but they have to change their name to sir, it just seems that they are more educated than others.Li Fang smiled, "Brother, you are slapping me in the face for asking that. I and Lao Du have been brothers for how many years. You young people don't know, me and Lao Du are really friends in a pair of pants."

What is "friendship in a pair of pants"?If the jealous little emperor heard this, he misunderstood it, and he didn't know how jealous he would be?

Tianshu grew up with Ruan Hongfei since he was a child, and he admired Ruan Hongfei's intelligence and knowledge very much, but there was only one thing, Tianshu felt that he was better than his husband.

That is the eye in choosing a mate.My God, Mr. Tian Zong is an amazing talent, with countless followers and suitors, but in the end, who did he find?

Even though Ming Zhan is quite capable, the things in bed don't really depend on status or status, the key is to feel comfortable.Thinking about His Majesty's temperament, Tianshu shook his head greatly.In contrast, I have been chasing Aning for 15 years before I got it, tsk tsk, the key is to be reasonable and decent.

Comparing the behavior of His Majesty the Emperor, even Wei Ning often blushes when his Majesty borrowed money and did not return it.

Therefore, regarding his husband's taste, Tianshu could only shake his head and sigh: people can't be perfect in everything.

Tianshu thought about the words "wearing a pair of pants", and smiled at Li Fang, "That's right, when Mr. Li mentioned Boss Li, he also talked about each other, and he never treated him badly."

"It's Boss Li who is out of justice this time." Tianshu teased, and followed Li Fang to Ruan Hongfei's residence.

Ruan Hongfei didn't suffer any hardships, so naturally his expression was not bad.

After Tianshu saluted, Ruan Hongfei asked with a smile, "Is everything done?"

"Yes." Tianshu said, "According to the master's order, we brought them all back and put them in the warehouse. Our loss is very small." At this moment, the young master is concentrating his manpower to plunder Jiangnan, so the defense of the house is naturally weak.In addition, the young master confiscated the four families in the sea, and then robbed Ruan Hongfei to the sea halfway, but he didn't expect that Tianshu would dare to disregard Ruan Hongfei's safety and copy his hometown.When the young master wanted to kill Ruan Hongfei in anger and hatred, Li Fang stopped him.For this reason, the two turned their faces ruthlessly, and as a result, the young master and Chen Dabao parted ways with Li Fang.

Ruan Hongfei looked at Li Fang and asked with a smile, "Brother Li should have made a decision at this time, right?"

Ruan Hongfei asked this in front of Tianshu.

It stands to reason that if the two bosses talked, the subordinates would naturally retreat.However, Tianshu has a special status. Ruan Hongfei has been in the imperial capital all year round, and the person who has the most dealings with Li Fang at sea has become Tianshu.

Therefore, Li Fang has nothing to say when Tianshu is here.

However, when Ruan Hongfei asked this question, Li Fang found it difficult to speak.Ruan Hongfei smiled, "It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. What Brother Li has done is understandable. Now, I have been bothering Brother Li for a long time. Based on my previous friendship and Brother Li's understanding of me, if I If it is useful to me, brother Li can speak up." This is for Li Fang to put forward conditions.

Li Fang sighed, and looked at Ruan Hongfei with piercing eyes, "My old Li is a rough man, and I was not convinced before that you came from behind, the lord, but now, I am completely convinced."

"Brother Li is being polite, but it's just a bit of a false name."

"Right now, I'm really in a bit of trouble." Li Fangdao, "To tell the truth to the lord, the young master left here the day before yesterday."

"Jing Ming has always been cautious, Brother Li has always been righteous, so naturally he can't kill him as a testimonial, let him go." Ruan Hongfei nodded.Li Fang had only hijacked him at the beginning, and had no intention of harming each other.But Li Fang released Feng Jingming, it seems that he has no intention of surrendering to Ming Xiaopang.

Regardless of the roughness of his life, Li Fang is full of scheming and cleverness, and he likes to keep his hands on things.

Seeing that Ruan Hongfei didn't look annoyed, but instead said such ironic words, Li Fang suddenly felt that there was something in his heart, but he still had some doubts. He scratched his head with his fingernails, and said with a embarrassed expression, "This time, I Blocking the way of the lord, the lord probably annoyed me."

Ruan Hongfei raised his eyes and smiled calmly, "Brother Li, I have lived with you for more than half a month. Did Brother Li tell me that I wanted to go back? If Brother Li is afraid that Du will turn around and turn his back on you, how about I go with you?" How about Brother Li making a treaty?"

Li Fang shook his hand and said, "Hey, why don't you make an appointment? Brother Du is a trustworthy person, and I believe in you." Li Fang has been at sea for a long time, and he understands that the contract is completely bullshit. can be destroyed.

Seeing that Li Fang seemed to have something difficult to say, Ruan Hongfei gave Tianshu a wink, and Tianshu got up and went out.

Li Fang sighed softly, "I really regret not listening to the king's words."

"To tell you the truth, my lord is cooperating with the sea power, and Lao Li also voted." Li Fang's mouth was full of bitterness, "Among the pirates who have gone to Fuzhou City, there are half of my Lao Li's elite."

Ruan Hongfei listened to Li Fang's words quietly, heaved a long sigh, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that there are so many brothers."

Li Fang's eyes were slightly red, he waved his hand, picked up a bowl of tea and drank it in one gulp, as if drinking strong wine, and sighed, "I, Li Fang, have been fighting at sea for decades, and I have never been defeated. There are times when this is even worse. But this time, I don't know where to go."

"The lord of the country is familiar with the little emperor, and there is still a little shadow. Every day, he tells me to submit to the court." Li Fang sighed deeply, "This time, I am afraid that if I want to submit, the court will not forgive me."

Li Fang's concerns are actually very reasonable.In fact, robbing Ruan Hongfei is not a big deal, after all, he didn't hurt Ruan Hongfei at all.The key point is that Li Fang participated in the Jiangnan War. At this juncture, Ming Zhan will never forgive him.Even if Li Fang wanted to recruit security, Ming Zhan would not recruit him.

But right now, Li Fang's power has been severely damaged, and he has offended Ruan Hongfei again.

Although now Ruan Hongfei talked to Brother Li, laughed at Yan Yan, and looked innocent, but that was because Ruan Hongfei was still in Li Fang's territory, and Li Fang was not particularly sure what would happen when Ruan Hongfei returned.

Ruan Hongfei sighed softly, "I still say the same thing. It doesn't matter what the court banned the sea before. Now that Tianjin Port is under construction, if Brother Li still wants to be as proud of the sea as before, I'm afraid it will not be easy."

"After this battle, in fact, everyone's strength has been damaged, even the court is no exception." Ruan Hongfei said lightly, "Brother Li, brother Chen, and the son, all three losers. The court naturally lost troops, but there is one thing , There is no way we can compare with the imperial court. The imperial court has a large land and resources, and a large population. Although there are losses, it is much easier to replenish than us."

"We live at sea, and this family fortune is hard-won."

These words hit Li Fang's heart.Li Fang failed to invest in his son, and most of his family property was lost. At this time, facing Ruan Hongfei, he half-closed his eagle eyes, but said with a half-smile, "Although the families in Shanghai and the court have suffered losses, Brother Du has lost money." I made a lot of money." They were all worse off than before, but Du Ruoguo took the opportunity to make a black hand, and his power rose to a higher level.If he wasn't jealous, Li Fang would be a goddamn saint.

Ruan Hongfei smiled, "It's not about getting rich, it's just luck."

luck!Humph, shit luck!If I knew this, I should have let that boy kill this kid, let's see if he is lucky!

"I have something to ask the Lord for help." Li Fang looked solemn, his sharp eyes were directly on Ruan Hongfei's, and the obliquely cut scar on his face was even more tyrannical.

Seeing that Li Fang was finally willing to make a condition, Ruan Hongfei met Li Fang's eyes without flinching, and listened attentively.For a moment, the atmosphere in the room condensed to freezing point.

Li Fang said slowly, "I heard that the lord and the little emperor are very close friends. I hope the lord can ask the little emperor for me for an edict, which can make me a general of the South China Sea, and allow me to sail on the sea in a legitimate way and fight with the heavenly court." Trade, like a country lord."

Ruan Hongfei instantly understood that Feng Jingming must have said something to Li Fang when he left. His face remained warm and elegant, and he said in a gentle voice, "Brother Li just said that the court will not pardon the crime you committed. How can ordinary friendship between countries interfere with the internal affairs of the Celestial Dynasty? Brother Li is embarrassing me."

Li Fang showed a calm smile, and refused to give in half a step, "You don't have to prevaricate me. I heard that the king and the little emperor have already had a good time. According to the king's method, as long as you have the heart, you can easily catch anything. Just be the king." Help me, Old Li, once."

Seeing that Ruan Hongfei didn't agree, Li Fang smiled unkindly and threatened, "The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty has sent high-ranking officials to protect the lord. If that's the case, I'll talk to the high-ranking officials from the Celestial Dynasty directly." Scholars want face Not to mention the royal family, if there is news that Lord Du Ruo is having sex with the little emperor, let's see if he is in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Hongfei didn't move a single eyebrow, and remained calm, "Then I'll just wait for the good news from Brother Li."

Wang Rui'an has a bad temper. When he heard Li Fang's conditions, he immediately blew his beard and stared angrily, and cursed, to the effect: What are you!His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, you have not been convicted, you thief is not sensible, but it is a wolfish ambition that gives birth to these delusions!

At that moment, Li Fang was rejected sternly.

Li Fang is also a person who is used to being a leader. Although he knows that his status is limited, Wang Rui'an's job in the court is to scold and criticize others. When he was furious, he brought out the eight generations of Li Fang's ancestors to greet him. After one pass, fortunately, Li Fang's cultural level is relatively low, and if he half understands it, he just understands it and doesn't understand it too well.Otherwise, I don't know what to be angry about.That's it, I couldn't understand it, and Li Fang was so angry that he almost hacked Wang Rui'an to death with a knife.

On the contrary, Zheng Yuan is extraordinarily flexible and careful, able to bend and stretch.

What he thought was that His Majesty the Emperor directly ordered them to come here to rescue Lord Du Ruo, which showed the status of Lord Du Ruo in His Majesty's mind.This errand is done well, and everyone is happy.

If something bad happened to Lord Du Ruo because of their failure, I am afraid His Majesty the Emperor would not be too happy.

Wang Rui'an had already sung the white face, so Zheng Yuan had no choice but to sing the bad face, and said with a gentle smile, "I'm here at His Majesty's order. Boss Li's request is beyond my control. I have to go back and ask." Boss Li can only answer the emperor's will. Otherwise, if I say yes or no here, I will be lying to Boss Li. Boss Li thinks about it, but is this the truth?"

These scholars are definitely better than Li Fang when they play tricks, not to mention Zheng Yuan's face is sincere and reasonable, Li Fang hummed and nodded, "Then you all go back and discuss with the emperor before you come again."

Zheng Yuan shook his head, "How did this happen? I was ordered to invite Lord Du Ruo back to the imperial capital, but I have never even seen Lord Du. It must be inappropriate to go back like this."

"Furthermore, if my emperor wants to pay such a high price to rescue Lord Du Ruo, it cannot be done in vain. Du Ruoguo has to pay a corresponding price." Zheng Yuan talked eloquently, "With all due respect, I You have to talk to Lord Du Ruo in person, and it is best to draw up some conditions for repayment, so that my Majesty will be famous and rescue Lord Du."

"Otherwise, talk empty-mouthed, and talk to His Majesty about the conditions that Boss Li proposed. Even if His Majesty agrees, all civil and military officials can't nod." Zheng Yuanxiang asked, "What does Boss Li think?"

Even if you want money by tying meat tickets, you have to let us make sure that the meat tickets are safe, right?

Otherwise, why should we trust you?

Li Fang has been doing the business of licking blood all year round, and he has always been careful in his actions. Therefore, it is only natural for Zheng Yuan to raise such conditions so cautiously.After all, in Li Fang's view, if the young master's words are correct, there will be countless times when dealing with the Celestial Dynasty in the future, so don't offend them too much, so he agreed to Zheng Yuan's request.

Zheng Yuan went to see Du Ruoguo to make Tianshu.

When Tianshu heard this, he immediately made arrangements.

Negotiations with the imperial court are related to the livelihood of the next few decades, and even Li Fang is extremely nervous.

After having fun with Liu Ying at night, Li Fang said, "Aren't you familiar with Lao Du? Tomorrow, I'll go check on Lao Du and persuade him along the way. I treat him like a brother, so don't take it to heart."

Liu Ying said lightly, "I've never seen anyone who hijacks his brother and threatens others."

Li Fang was displeased, his face sank, he raised his hand and slapped Liu Ying's ass, "Little Ying, I have a bad temper these days, so don't tease me."

Li Fang is a rough man with enough strength, Liu Ying suddenly felt a hot pain, snorted and didn't speak.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhan stabilized the order of the imperial capital, and ordered Huguang Dongbing to go south to help Huaiyang, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Although Wang Rui'an and Zheng Yuan were sent to the sea, there was still no specific news about Ruan Hongfei for a while. Ming Zhan was still very anxious, and often talked with Queen Mother Wei.

Empress Dowager Wei didn't care about it, and persuaded Ming Zhan, "There are too many things about Hong Feijing, this matter is nothing, didn't he take the opportunity to get a ticket?"

"What does this have to do with Feifei? It's up to his subordinates to make their own decisions." Deep in his heart, Ming Zhan trusted Ruan Hongfei very much, and said, "I have never seen such a subordinate. All he wants to do is to get rich. If this offends others, what should we do with Feifei? When I see Tianshu, I will make rules for them on Feifei's behalf."

Empress Dowager Wei shook her head and smiled, "You are honest, you are honest. I don't believe it. Without Hongfei's order, which subordinate would be so bold as to run to make a fortune regardless of his life or death."

Ming Zhan thought for a while, his face sank, and he muttered, "Fortunately, I still miss his dog's life. Hmph, let Lord Wang and the others come back, and let him live or die." Ruan Hongfei looked down on Ming Zhan very much on weekdays He is a money fan, and often scolds him for wanting money but not life, and scolds Ming Zhan to make him look ashamed.Now Ming Zhan understands what it means to want money but not life!I am in danger, and I am still scrambling to rob.

snort!In the future, if Ruan Hongfei dares to speak against him again, he will definitely have to spit on him in order to take revenge!

Heartless guy!

Ming Zhan was angry for a while, and saw Fang Qing come in and said, "Go back to the emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager has passed on the imperial doctor, and it seems that she is not well."
