Concentricity

Just when Yu Simian was worried about this matter, someone from Jiangcheng sent a letter to him, asking him to go to Fuzhou.

Yu Simian expected that most of this matter was related to the war in the north, and it would be difficult for Jiang Cheng to mention it in a letter, so he asked him to speak to him face to face.He just didn't know what Jiangcheng's attitude was, so he just went to find out, so he rushed to Fuzhou with Mo Jinyan.

Jiang Cheng was very straightforward. After exchanging pleasantries, he got straight to the point and said, "My nephew must also know about the dispute between the new emperor and King Yan. I don't know how you feel about it?"

Yu Simian smiled wryly and said: "In my humble opinion, this is an internal matter of the royal family. We are subjects and cannot control the emperor's family affairs. So I decided to stay out of the matter and wait and see what happens."

Jiang Cheng stroked his beard and nodded, "I agree with Si Mian's views. This is a royal dispute. When the time comes, it will not change. It will still belong to the Zhu family, so it doesn't matter much to us." relationship, let them make trouble."

Yu Simian smiled and said, "Uncle, I think so."

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "My son, Nan'an, came back from the middle of the capital. At present, the capital is still considered peaceful, but the imperial army has been retreating in succession. The King of Yan seems to be on the verge of breaking through."

Yu Simian was taken aback: "The imperial court has an army of one million, King Yan has only so many troops, so it won't be so defeated."

Jiang Cheng nodded: "I think so too, probably due to improper use of troops. In my opinion, this battle will not end in a day or two, so let's just wait and see. Si Mian, have you received your father's advice recently? letter?"

Yu Simian shook his head: "After I arrived in Fujian, there was no news from my family." I'm afraid his father thought he was dead.

Jiang Cheng also sighed: "Master Yu seems to have gone too far."

Yu Simian said: "I'm afraid there are other people who contributed to the flames. I'm afraid not one of my letters has ever been delivered to him."

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Yu Simian smiled and said: "Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I can still live well without my father. I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my responsibilities as a child. When I left the capital, I never thought about going back." The saint said to his parents He was not traveling far away, but because his father was still alive, he was forced to travel far away. Otherwise, it would be strange if those half-brothers who were like wolves and tigers didn't kill him. Almost didn't escape.

Jiang Cheng sighed: "Forget it, I brought up your sad incident again. The court called on the kings everywhere, and there must not be many people who will respond, so we should just pretend that we don't know. You continue to do what you should do."

Yu Simian laughed: "That's exactly what I planned. Recently, Japanese pirates have started to move around again. It's enough for us to be busy. We don't have time to take care of other things."

"It's just right. Don't let the pirates take advantage of the fire and bring harm to the people." Jiang Cheng nodded approvingly.

After Yu Simian's secret talk with Jiang Cheng ended, he went to the back garden to find Mo Jinyan.Mo Jinyan was being dragged by Mrs. Jiang to talk about family problems. Obviously, Mrs. Jiang regarded Mo Jinyan as a female family member like her, and asked some common questions such as managing the family and living, which made Mo Jinyan dumbfounded. To be honest, Chen Liang and Yu Simian usually arrange those things, and he really never cares about them.

It happened that Yu Simian came to save him from the dire situation, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When they came to Fuzhou, they went to the shipyard again.The design of the Wanhu boat has been completely finalized, and it is now in the construction stage.

Mo Jinyan watched his ideas gradually become reality, as if seeing the fruits he planted with his own hands gradually ripening, the sense of accomplishment is self-evident.

Yu Simian was also very happy, this boat of ten thousand dendrobium was not only Mo Jinyan's dream, but also his own dream.He has always wanted to see the Wanhu ship sail out of Daming Harbor again, and now this big ship is actually made by his lover, can there be anything more beautiful than this.

The imperial court was busy fighting the war, and the imperial envoy responsible for supervising the construction of the Wanhu ship may not have come for a long time, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm of the masters of the shipyard.Even if the imperial court did not come to supervise the ten-thousand-dhu boat, they were extremely happy to build it. After all, this was an epoch-making breakthrough.

The battle of Jingnan lasted for three years, and the outcome was not decided.This result was beyond Yu Simian's expectation, but also expected. In terms of military strength, the imperial court was far superior to the King of Yan.

Fortunately, the flames of war have always only spread in the north, and have not spread to the south of the Yangtze River. The soldiers and civilians in the south can still be safe.

Yu Simian and Mo Jinyan have been committed to fighting against the pirates. In the past few years, the Japanese pirates invaded intermittently, but they did not get good results.

When Japanese pirates came to the waters of Fujian, most of them would be found and intercepted by the checkpoints of Nantai Island or Guan Longfei's coastal defense fleet, so they hated the checkpoints of Nantai Island.I have been to Nanda Island several times and tried to destroy the checkpoints, but all failed.

The guards at the checkpoint refused to fight, and the Japanese pirates were helpless against the iron barrel-like stone building. They attacked several times, but failed to damage even a hair of the checkpoint.

The battle of Jingnan was protracted, and I don't know when it will end.On this day, a stranger came to the yamen office of Zhendongwei Commander, who came in a sedan chair.

Mo Jinyan took a small post in the Yamen's office, and he was free to come and go.As soon as the sedan chair landed, Mo Jinyan happened to come out of the yamen, so he stood at the door and watched, only to see the sedan chair door opened, and a young man in a brocade robe came out from inside, that man had a good face, His face is like peaches and plums, his eyes are like autumn waves, but his face is a little softer.

The man got off the sedan chair, shook the hem of his robe, looked up at the plaque on the yamen, then raised his legs and walked into the yamen.

The concierge hurriedly stopped him: "May I ask which lord the guests are looking for?" Commander Wei's yamen is an important place for military affairs, and idlers are not allowed to enter at will.

The man raised his eyebrows with disdain: "I'm looking for you, Master Yu Shengyu."

Mo Jinyan's heart moved, the accent of this person was the same as Yu Simian's before, but Yu Simian had been in Fujian for a long time and had some local accents, so he hadn't heard such a pure capital accent for a long time.

The concierge said, "May I have a famous post?"

The man pushed the porter's arm away: "That's unreasonable! I came all the way here, not to waste time with you, a barbarian from the south. Can you take responsibility for delaying my affairs?"

This man was dressed in fine clothes and had a dignified aura, the porter was a little bit intimidated, and the blocking hand was pushed away.

Mo Jinyan flickered and stood in front of that person: "My lord, since you are here on business, please issue the relevant documents, and don't make it difficult for the people below us."

Mo Jinyan was wearing an ordinary cotton gown, which was a little worn after washing, but his aura had grown over the years, and when he became serious, he was not angry but mighty, which actually frightened this man.

The man looked Mo Jinyan up and down, did not dare to rush in again, but took out a document from his arms, and said arrogantly: "I have an official document signed by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, open your eyes and see."

Mo Jinyan took it over and looked it over carefully, only to see that there was a seal seal stamped on the place where the signature was signed, and Mo Jinyan only recognized the word Yu, he paused in his heart, could this letter be written by Yu Simian's family?It seems that Yu Simian's father worked in the Ministry of Officials.

He read it slowly, folded the document and returned it to the other party: "It turns out that it is an adult from the capital, please. Sixth brother Lai, go and inform the adult."

The concierge gave Mo Jinyan a grateful look, turned around and ran away.

The man in brocade clothes took a look at Mo Jinyan, let out a soft hum from his nostrils, lifted the hem of his clothes, and stepped into the threshold.

Mo Jinyan didn't take it seriously, and said in his heart, with you like this, it's strange that Brother Yu can give you a good face.After thinking about it, he walked back to the Yamen to watch the excitement.

As soon as he arrived at the small side hall where the guests were received, he heard Yu Simian's voice coldly saying: "I don't know your lord, please go back. Who let him in?"

The porter outside the door shrank his neck in fright and looked at Mo Jinyan innocently.Mo Jinyan waved his hand, signaling not to worry, pointing to the door, let him go first.The porter gave him a grateful look and left.

A voice answered, "Brother, you haven't heard from me for several years, so it's fine if you don't go back to show your filial piety. Now that Daddy asks you for help, how can you say that you don't know me? This is so unfeeling!"

"Hey, is it my heartlessness or your heartlessness? When I was in the capital, you forced me to have nowhere to stand. When I came to Fujian, you still wanted to kill them all. Have you been regretting that you have been too light?" Mo Jinyan heard Yu Simian laughed, "Did I write letters and give gifts home, but you all stopped me? Dad probably thought I was dead long ago. Why did you think of my son at this time?" The laughter was full of infinite desolation.

"You, how do you know it's us..." The other party's voice was full of panic and fear.

Mo Jinyan's heart was shocked, he didn't care what the other party was saying, and rushed in directly: "Brother Yu!"

Yu Simian looked at Mo Jinyan with some surprise: "Yan'er, why are you back?" Mo Jinyan just went out to do some errands, and he has already left. Yu Simian really doesn't want Mo Jinyan to know about his messed up family affairs. He only added sadness and resentment.

Mo Jinyan walked up to Yu Simian and grabbed his sleeve: "Brother Yu, is what you just said true? They were the ones who hurt you back then?" He said, looking coldly at the opposite side The man in brocade clothes couldn't help clenching his left hand into a fist.

The other party felt his murderous aura and couldn't help taking a step back.

Yu Simian put his hand on the back of Mo Jinyan's hand: "Yan'er, don't get excited. We don't have to bear this kind of infamy for other people who have committed fratricide. We will accept them."

Mo Jinyan looked at Yu Simian in disbelief: "You mean, he is your brother?"

Yu Simian shook his head: "In terms of blood, there is a little relationship, but my brother has only been you from the beginning to the end."

Mo Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger. He stretched out his hand, pointed at the door and said to the man, "Your Excellency, you can leave as you came here. Be careful, I can't help but kill people."

The other party flinched, and then straightened his neck: "Why should I listen to you? What are you? This is our Yu family's business." Obviously he didn't take Mo Jinyan's threat seriously.

Mo Jinyan laughed back angrily: "Your Yu family? I'm sorry, Yu Simian has married into my family, and now I follow my surname Mo. It has nothing to do with your Yu family, please go away."

The other party didn't know the relationship between Mo Jinyan and Yu Simian, and only said that Yu Simian was married to Mo Jinyan's older sister or younger sister, so he said, "No matter what his surname is, he is my father's son, you can't deny that. .I have an official document written by my father. He asked Yu Sheng to lead all the sailors of Zhendongwei to go north to serve the king.

Yu Simian sneered and said: "The emperor just called us to be kings, and didn't ask anyone to go. You are holding a chicken feather as an arrow, thinking that I was frightened?"

Mo Jinyan had never felt so irritable before, he said to Yu Simian: "Brother Yu, what do you have to say to such a person? Let me throw him out. Get out!"

The man shrank his neck and took a step back from the door in fright, but he still said bravely: "You don't want to serve the king. When the emperor puts down the rebellion, you will be traitors in the future. Don't blame us for not supporting you." .”

"Am I a traitor, do I need you to talk nonsense? Hurry up and get out, Yu Chang!" Yu Simian's patience has been exhausted, and the veins on his forehead are popping out, and they are about to explode soon.

Yu Chang looked at the two angry people in front of him, and retreated out of the door in a timely manner. At the door, he couldn't forget to say: "Yu Sheng, if daddy knows that this is your attitude, he will never recognize it again in his life. is you."

Yu Simian yelled violently: "Get lost!"

The sound made the window paper tremble, and Yu Chang staggered in fright, almost falling to the ground.
