Chapter 842: It's hard to know if you're in the net
A pair of white jade from Watan, a coral tree more than half a person tall and vermilion in color, and a box of high-quality, thumb-thick eastern pearls...... These things sent by the palace attendants are all treasures presented to the Son of Heaven from all over the world, and it can be seen that several Lu family members on the side are honored, which can confirm how heavy the weight of their master in the emperor's heart is.
Lu Zhen also hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and bluntly said that he was grateful and frightened. After a long time, he was helped up by the eunuch named Huailai, who said with a smile: "Uncle, you are really favored by Your Majesty, and the slave maid has also given gifts to many adults for Your Majesty in the past few years, but no one has ever been able to compare with what Uncle has received today." Of course, uncle, your contribution to Your Majesty and my Ming Dynasty is not comparable to ordinary adults, and this time it is precisely because of your suggestions a few years ago that the situation in the border area is very good. ”
"Listen to Your Majesty's decree." Lu Jin hurriedly put on a solemn appearance.
Lu Jin's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, in fact, he had heard about the flood that happened in Henan this time, but he didn't expect this disaster to be so serious, it actually caused so many people to die from the disaster, and even the Son of Heaven was shocked. So, he solemnly saluted again: "The minister Lu Zhen obeys the order, and the minister must let Jinyiwei find out the truth of this matter as soon as possible and report it truthfully to Your Majesty." ”
Although the status of Jinyiwei is much higher than before, and Dongchang has been completely suppressed by them, the situation near the Zhenfu Division has not changed much, there are almost no people in sight, and there are only four captains standing at the door.
After Lu Zhen got out of the car and talked a few words with these subordinates, he came to the separate office of the commanding officer, and saw Yang Zhen who was looking through the documents. This once cold and capable master of Jinyi Wei is now a one-headed lawsuit, and it may not be difficult for him to investigate the case and deal with some traitors, but it is not his forte to ask him to deal with the complicated and responsible internal affairs. But now that he is the master of the Pacification Division, there are many things that still have to be decided by him, which makes him really annoying.
"Haha, I can't imagine that you Yang Zhen can't do it." Lu Zhen first said as if teasingly, and then patted him on the shoulder: "This is likely to disappoint you, if it weren't for Your Majesty's permission, I would like to resign from the official position of this commander on my body." And now Jinyiwei is not the same as before, with or without me as a commander, he can take care of the errand, and I am more at ease with you. ”
After sighing for a moment, Yang Zhencai looked at Lu Zhen again: "Then I don't know what you ordered when you suddenly came here today, my lord?" ”
As soon as he mentioned the matter, Yang Zhen's expression also became solemn, and he nodded at this time: "Jinyiwei also received news about this matter some time ago, and he has also read the relevant files, and he also planned to send someone to the local area to investigate." ”
Yang Zhen hurriedly responded, and then asked, "What is the second thing that the adult wants to order?" ”
"Have you forgotten? As early as two years ago, you proposed that maritime trade is now very important to our Ming Dynasty, so let us have a lot of eyes, and after two years of arrangement, we also have some eyes and ears at sea. ”
With the deepening of the open sea trade, the sailors who had been ignored by the Ming Dynasty have also flourished in the past two years. Don't dare to say anything else, these sailors are already invincible in an area near the sea, whether it is a pirate or other pirates, as long as they encounter them, the end will only be exterminated.
"Then I'm relieved. By the way, I haven't encountered any problems in the Suppression Division lately, have I? Lu Zhen smiled and took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then he cared about the situation in the Zhenfu Division. Speaking of which, he, as a commander, is really too irresponsible, and he actually wants to ask his subordinates such things.
"That's good, then let's do our best to do these two errands." Lu Zhen nodded in satisfaction. But then he noticed that the other party's face showed hesitation again, so he asked, "Is there anything else to be embarrassed about?" ”
"Is there such a thing?" Lu Jin's face also became solemn. At the beginning, in order to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, the Jinyi Guard and the government did not spend a lot of manpower and effort, and they thought that they had been uprooted, but now it seems that the other party is obviously prepared, and some people have avoided it.
Therefore, it seems that it is a bit too optimistic to completely eradicate this cult once and for all.
Soon, however, he shook his head again and pushed the speculation out of his head. If the White Lotus Sect back then might have such a ability, but now, after almost being completely wiped out, could they have developed such a powerful force again in just a few years, avoiding the attention of the government? It's almost unrealistic.
A fine net against the advancing Ming Dynasty has begun to shrink little by little......
