Chapter 114: Lobster Demon Soldier
Rumors spread everywhere, and the entire capital was already in panic.
People are always afraid of unknown matters. After all, Japanese pirates in Jiangnan are just a change of fear, but when they arrive in the capital, most people may not take it seriously.
After all, the Japanese have had a long history. Since the Han Dynasty, Japanese people have sent envoys to pay tribute. Whether you hate or like it, after all, everyone has this impression, knowing that they come from the island, they... after all, they still belong to the category of "people". They also have black eyes, yellow skin, and even shorter ones, which can also be used as objects of ridicule.
But the Folang Ji people are completely different. They subverted the majority of people's perception of "people". Judging from the many reports and the news circulating in the court, these people cannot even be called humans, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are monsters. Such strange "creatures" and the various exaggerations of Quanzhou attack have caused panic in the entire capital. All kinds of rumors are prohibited. When you hear the words "lobster demon soldiers", it is enough to make you feel cold in your heart.
Most of the officials in the capital came from the southern Zhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, so many people wrote to me, wanting to take relatives to Beijing, so panic spread like snowballs, and then all kinds of rumors came out. They learned that Folangji's envoy had arrived, but they didn't know what.
Ye Chunqiu ignored these rumors from the outside world. He knew very well that this panic was just a fear of unknown things. Moreover, the Folangji people were indeed cruel, attacking Quanzhou, killing people and slaughtering the city, and they were angry with each other.
He felt the most about the Folang Ji Ren, but at this time, someone from the palace sent to Ye Chunqiu to go to the cabinet tomorrow to meet with the Folang Ji Envoy.
Ye Chunqiu guessed in his heart that he probably thought that because he had some understanding of the Folang Ji Ren, several cabinet masters ordered him to attend the interview. However, the cabinet went to meet the Folang Ji Envoy himself, which still surprised Ye Chunqiu. One reason was that the cabinet was curious and wanted to find out the background of the Folang Ji Ren, but on the other hand, he also wanted to stabilize people's hearts.
So on this day, Ye Chunqiu woke up early. Seeing that Wang Jingchu was still sleeping soundly in her arms, she gently kissed her forehead and tiptoed to get up and put on her shoes and clothes.
Fearing to wake up the person on the bed, he ran to the study next to the wing room to wash. Then he saw Maggie pouring tea with a little frightened face, and then arranged breakfast for Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu looked at her and smiled and said, "Maggie, why are you here to serve today?"
"I...I...Qiuyue is not feeling well today."
Ye Chunqiu nodded casually, then sat down to drink tea, and ate with pastries. Seeing Maggie standing aside in a hurry, Ye Chunqiu said gently: "I was in a bad mood that day and spoke a little too heavily. Don't take it to heart."
Maggie only smiled a little and said, "Is it for the lobster demon soldier?"
Well……
Lobster demon soldiers.
This guy is really...
However, in the past two days, Ye Chunqiu's mood gradually calmed down. Although he accidentally thought of those Folang Ji people, Maggie's lively temperament always made him smile. Ye Chunqiu said, "Yes, it's these monsters and monsters."
Maggie thought for a while and said, "What should we do if these lobster demon soldiers are so powerful? I heard that they even ate people, so they raised the people, picked the bones, and threw the meat into the oil pan."
Maggie said, shivering, looking extremely scared, and then said, "What's the best thing to do if this continues? Everyone said that the court was helpless. If the King of Zhongshan was still there, they would not have let these lobster demon soldiers be rude."
The so-called King of Zhongshan is Xu Da, the founding general. Xu Da used troops like a god and had always had a great reputation among the people.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help laughing by Maggie Cheung's ridiculous words, but her smile was a little bitter, but she said, "Today I cheer for Dasheng Sun, because the demon fog is back. Okay, I'm going to enter the palace. You can't say less nonsense and stay in the mansion to accompany your wife. Those lobster demon soldiers can't jump here."
Maggie felt that Ye Chunqiu's words were meant to make fun of her, but she still responded obediently.
Then, Ye Chunqiu left the middle gate, and there was a carriage waiting here. Ye Chunqiu got on the carriage, and the carriage rolled towards the Meridian Gate.
When he arrived at the Meridian Gate and found out his identity, Ye Chunqiu went directly to the cabinet. Several grand senators were already on duty. However, Liu Jian and the other four had bad expressions. Quanzhou suffered heavy losses and was panicked. This was not a solution. Especially this battle, many people saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. The ward system has been strong outside and done at the middle, which is unexpected.
Ye Chunqiu greeted Liu Jian and others one by one, and Liu Jian squeezed out a smile and said, "You can find a chair to sit on, casually, you don't have to talk later. I know that you have a little understanding of Folang Jiren, so I secretly write it down if there is something strange."
Ye Chunqiu said without saying much, and bowed: "Yes."
Everyone sat down, and there was no sofa in the cabinet, so everyone sat on the official hat chair, led by Liu Jian, and Xie Qian and Li Dongyang on the left and right. Wang Hua was newly entered the cabinet, so he lived in the last seat. Ye Chunqiu did not dare to sit on Wang Hua's right, so he simply sat on his lower head.
Not long after, a clerk came in to inform the arrival of the Messenger of Folangji. Liu Jian said with a majestic look on his face: "Please come in."
Not long after the words were finished, a man came in accompanied by officials from the Honglu Temple.
Just now, Ye Chunqiu was still thinking about how to communicate, but when he looked up, his heart couldn't help but feel surprised.
This person is not a Folang Ji person. He is clearly a Han man wearing a Confucian shirt. He even wore a Lun scarf on his head. He looked about 40 years old, had a medium figure, a thin face, and a bronze skin.
The man came in slowly, and gave a standard bow to Liu Jian and others, and said, "Student Wang Hanzhong has met you."
Obviously, Liu Jian and others did not expect that such a person would meet. They looked at each other in front of each other. Liu Jian couldn't help but say, "Where are people in Honglu Temple, you are Ge Fei, why are you a Han person?"
Wang Hanzhong smiled and said, "Students are Han people and have been doing business in Nanyang. Ge Fei is the student's name of Folang."
Immediately, Liu Jian and others showed displeasure on their faces.
When Ye Chunqiu saw that Wang Hanzhong was not quick and calm, he looked a little proud. He might not even be a scholar, but now he can meet the prime minister in this cabinet, so how could he not be proud?
Liu Jian was steady after all, and said, "Since you are a Han Chinese, why do you serve the Folang Jiren?"
