Chapter 377
After Guo Tao went out, Lu Heng patted his sleeve and planned to go back to see his "sister" to be married.
The author says:
Lu Heng: Unexpectedly, I can still play new role-playing.
Chapter 124
Long before the emperor called Fu Tingzhou and Guo Xun into the palace, Lu Heng was secretly brought to the emperor by the eunuch. The emperor threw the reward and battle report to Lu Heng and said, "It seems that this group of people thinks that I am very foolish."
Lu Heng quickly read the good news, and said with reserve: "The situation of the battle was really taken by Zhao Shilang. It seems that someone in the Southeast officialdom is really hiding something."
The emperor hadn't been so angry for a long time. He paced after the imperial case, and finally, as if he had decided something, he said, "The monkey must be killed."
Long-term battles are the most taboo in fighting, especially to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, which requires inter-provincial deployment of troops, dispatching navy, and burning money every day. The emperor ruled Japanese pirates because pirates colluded with foreigners and committed crimes along the coast. It has evolved from petty theft to equipping firearms to confront the imperial army.
The emperor had expected this battle to be resolved quickly, but he did not expect it to drag on for so long. The emperor's treasury has been very empty since he ascended the throne. Over the years, he has managed to recover some money by looting corrupt officials and clearing land.
This battle cannot be dragged on any longer. If it continues, the national treasury will be exhausted, and Daming will not be able to function if it encounters some natural and man-made disasters. In this way, the control of Japanese pirates will outweigh the gains.
Lu Heng stood quietly in the smoke-filled palace, waiting for the emperor to give his final order. The emperor thought about it for a long time and said, "The battle between the Japanese pirates cannot be delayed. I ordered you to take two thousand Jinyiwei guards and secretly go to the south of the Yangtze River to find out the rebellion of the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang and Fujian. When necessary, assist the governor to quell the chaos."
Lu Heng cupped his hands, and agreed firmly and calmly: "Yes."
The same thing, said by different people is completely different. Zhao Wenhua belonged to Yan Wei, Zhang Jin belonged to bureaucrats in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Fu Tingzhou belonged to honorable people. They were the mouthpieces of their respective interest groups. No one could believe the emperor. At this time, he could only believe in Lu Heng.
No one knew that the emperor had secretly summoned Lu Heng, and then Fu Tingzhou entered the palace and served as the governor of Japan in danger. When Lu Heng heard the leadership selection, he secretly sighed that the emperor deserved to be the emperor. And Lu Heng and Fu Tingzhou have a grudge, so don't worry about them cooperating with each other, holding military power, and in turn fooling the emperor.
The emperor solved the two hidden dangers of safety and authenticity at the same time without any effort. In the aspect of the emperor's mind, the emperor is more and more at ease.
When Fu Tingzhou was busy in the capital and preparing to set off for the expedition, Lu Heng had quietly counted his manpower and left the capital with two thousand Jinyiwei guards, starting from Tongzhou and heading south by water.
Their line is a secret operation, and they can't alert the officials along the way. If two thousand strong men set out together, wouldn't they be beating gongs and drums to tell others that they are the imperial army? So Lu Heng re-formed the formation, let Jin Yiwei break into pieces, and under the leadership of the squad leader, disguised himself as the three religions and nine leaders, and secretly went south.
The manpower can be divided, but the weapons of 2,000 people cannot always be divided, and it will be troublesome once the wind is revealed. Lu Heng thought about it and thought about his wife.
Therefore, Wang Yanqing was also taken on the road by Lu Heng, and with the help of Wang Yanqing's identity as a woman, Lu Heng personally led a hundred people to disguise as a party to send his relatives. Dowry boxes can help them hide weapons and evade interrogation by officials along the way. For these benefits, Lu Heng had to aggrieve himself and return to the unmarried person.
The ship had set sail, like an ordinary passenger ship, without anyone noticing. The waterway is no better than the mountain road. After watching it for a long time, the scenery is very boring. The time on the road is long, and Lu Heng can only find his "sister" to relieve his boredom.
The doors and windows of the largest and most luxurious cabin at the rear of the ship were closed, and the patrols outside the cabin were strict, but the guards who came and went were very careful and did not dare to look around. Lu Heng walked all the way, and his entourage saluted him neatly when they saw him, and respectfully shouted "Hello, young master". Lu Heng nodded to them and calmly pushed open the hatch.
When the maids inside saw Lu Heng coming, they all saluted, "Young Master."
Lu Heng held the folding fan, tapped lightly in the palm of his hand, and said, "It's alright here, you all retreat."
None of the maids showed any strange expressions, and they retreated in an orderly manner after promising to do so. After the cabin door was closed again, Lu Heng put away the folding fan and walked leisurely behind the screen.
"Sister, I've come to see you for my brother. Why, I'm about to get married, so I'm not welcome to be my brother?"
Wang Yanqing was leaning on the bed reading a book, and when he heard what he said, he gave him an angry look: "Brother, men and women are not seated at the age of seven, we are all so old, it's not right for you to come alone in my boudoir."
Lu Heng opened the curtain with a folding fan, and saw Wang Yanqing leaning on the bed, the silver-red soft gauze gown more and more outlines her graceful figure, and under the translucent single gauze, the white main waist was faintly visible.
Her main waist is a tube top style, because it is tightly wrapped, there are soft ravines on the top, and a slender and flexible waist is exposed on the bottom.
Lu Heng sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes kept staring at her snow chest and belly, which made people wonder if what he said had been out of his mind: "It doesn't matter, we brothers and sisters depend on each other for life, and we don't pay attention to these customs. You forgot, When you were a child, you were afraid of thunder, and you all got into my quilt directly."
