On an island, the waves slashed at the reefs.

Surrounded by mountains and dense forests, large ships stay at the seaside a hundred steps away from the coast.

"Brother Liu, you will be able to arrive in the capital in two months."

Although Qian Ning didn't know the name of the island, there was a group of Japanese pirates hidden on the island. He said the words of the Japanese, and it must be an island around the island country.

Liu Jin was slightly happy and flipped through the Japanese pirates' granary and found a lot of money.

"I didn't expect that I also made military achievements."

This is an isolated island, and he is not sure whether it is an island country or an island of Songjiang Prefecture, but if there are Japanese pirates, they must be very close to the Ming Dynasty.

If you meet a merchant ship, it will be easy to ask for a way out.

…………

Gyeonggi, on the official road.

Duke Xu Guangzuo of Dingguo clamped his legs with his horse's back and closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Outside the Western Regions, he saw Wang Shouren leading the Tang and Song dynasties. The key was that he was fooled by Wang Shouren to take away 50,000 troops and 10,000 stones of money and grain.

How can I explain this to the court?

"I'm so worried!"

Why did Wang Shouren become the head coach of the Tang and Song dynasties when he went to study abroad? This study abroad is a bit amazing?

Since the army returned to the court, Xu Guangzuo pulled his hair once every three days, and almost two of his head were pulled out. He just couldn't imagine how to explain to the court. If he said that he had died of fighting, the thousands of people behind him were not blind.

Although they did not see the commander of Tang and Song, they also saw with their own eyes that he lends troops to Tang and Song.

"Dad, why are you bald?"

"Dad is worried. I'm fooled. How can I explain this to the court?"

Xu Guangzuo seemed to be answering his son's words, but seemed to be muttering to himself. After thinking about it, he decided to meet Wang Hua first. The civil servant's brain is very good, and he might be able to come up with an idea for him.

Two days later, a team of troops arrived outside the capital.

Xu Guangzuo ordered people to go to the palace to report that he himself went to the palace. When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Wang Hua drinking tea in the main hall.

"Brother Dehui, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Wang Hua raised his eyes slightly and looked at the loud voice in the courtyard, "Duke Ding returned to the court? Why didn't he go to the palace to pay the imperial edict first?"

Duke Ding had been on the verge of more than two years, but I don’t know where he fought, and there was no news.

Now, he suddenly ran back.

"You all go down and pass the orders of your country's ministers. No one is allowed to approach the main hall!" Xu Guangzuo waved his hand, and his personal guard took out all the housekeeper and maid.

Is this your residence or my husband's residence?

Wang Hua was confused!

After closing the door, Xu Guangzuo turned to look at Wang Hua and sighed several times: "Brother Dehui, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to listen to?"

Seeing his serious face, Wang Hua put down the teacup: "I don't pick on the officials, please speak."

"The good news is that my country's Duke met Wang Shouren in the Western Regions."

Wang Hua looked at Xu Guangzuo with his eyes tightly, closed his lips, and said for a long time: "See my son seriously!"

"Brother Dehui, don't be happy too early. Maybe he didn't see it better. Now, he is already a general of the Tang and Song dynasties. His Duke was deceived by him and lent him 50,000 troops. What should I do?"

Wang Hua's expression was stiff, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Brother Dehui, don't get me wrong. I, Xu, didn't come to threaten you. I borrowed 50,000 troops to Wang Shouren. Now I don't know where he has taken him, so I want to ask you to help you think of a plan."

Xu Guangzuo's face flushed, and he became more and more excited as he spoke: "Although Xu is a martial artist, he dare not forget the word "loyalty and righteousness". If Brother Dehui helped me, I would definitely instruct the descendants of the Xu family to not forget Brother Dehui's kindness."

Sure enough, as I expected, how could my son resign for no reason?

It must have been called to the Western Regions by Yan Chengjin.

Wang Hua sighed a few times: "You go find Yan Chengjin."

Xu Guangzuo was a little confused. The civil servant's head was just unpredictable. What should I do when I went to Yan Chengjin?

But without waiting for him to say anything, Wang Hua had opened the door and waved to see him off.

Speaking of which, Xu Guangzuo and Yan Chengjin also had some friendship. They left the palace and went straight to the west of the city, and came to the dilapidated courtyard.

Except for the vines, there has been no change.

"Duke Xu, the Duke of Ding, came to visit."

The doorman looked outside the mansion and hurriedly ran to report to Yan Chengjin: "Young Master, Duke Ding is here."

Not long after, the main hall.

Xu Guangzuo raised the tea soup and drank it all in big mouthfuls. He turned to look at Yan Chengjin, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind:

"Nephew, I saw Wang Shouren outside the Western Regions. This son was cunning and said he would use troops to fight the Turks. Who would not return it. What do you think should I do?"

Yan Chengjin is already the chief assistant and is in love with the new emperor again.

I want to be a Duke in this day, but I have no chance. If I get his help, I might be able to get rid of myself and protect the Duke’s Lord.

"Duke Dingguo entered the palace and reported it to the new emperor truthfully."

Yan Chengjin thought about it, but he didn't expect that Wang Shouren would borrow Xu Guangzuo's troops.

It seems that it will take several years to fight against the Holy Roman Empire.

Xu Guangzuo was a little nervous and said, "The new emperor relies on horse politics, and his country's Duke lost 50,000 people for no reason. This..."

Zhu Houzhao is not as kind as the Emperor of the Supreme, and can think of old feelings.

Maybe he took the imperial case and took his position as Duke.

"Can Duke Ding have a gold medal?"

………

The next day, early in the morning.

"The new emperor, Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Ding, seeks a meeting."

Zhu Houzhao looked outside the hall, with a look of thought in her eyes. Last night, Lao Gao sent someone to the palace to report that Xu Guangzuo didn't need to say anything, but he knew what was going on.

"I am in the Western Regions and make a decision without authorization. I borrowed 50,000 troops to the Tang and Song dynasties, and asked the new emperor to sue him."

Xu Guangzuo raised his eyes slightly and told them all about the attack on Ottoman.

Yan Chengjin remained silent.

Li Dongyang glanced at the back of his head and thought a little.

Xu Zan, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, spoke: "How can Duke Ding lend troops?"

"The Tang and Song dynasties first asked for 50,000 rebels in Datong and borrowed 50,000 border troops. I thought I should send someone to the Tang and Song dynasties to investigate." Luo Wen, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was confused.

All the officials looked at Xu Guangzuo.

He borrowed troops without authorization, did not submit memorials to the court, broke into the Western Regions, seized military power according to the law, and reduced his title to the people.

However, before the officials could speak, Xu Guangzuo was already kneeling in the hall.

"The Ottoman was the common enemy of the Ming Dynasty and the Tang and Song dynasties. It was a good thing that the Tang and Song dynasties sent troops to clear the enemy. Only the ministers borrowed troops."

"I wish to return a gold medal to avoid death, and I hope the new emperor will be kind."

As Yan Chengjin said, he had to pay some price to block the civil servant's mouth.

If the new emperor wants to pardon him, he will take away the gold medal.

Zhu Houzhao has many things to ask, but it is not so convenient in the court. "This crime is a head-cutting according to the law. I will accept a gold medal for you to remove military power. Do you have any questions to discuss?"

Xu Guangzuo was overjoyed after he kept his position as Duke.

The officials looked at each other, but they couldn't speak at the mouth.

Zhang Sheng frowned and said, "Since it is borrowing, it should be returned. Moreover, the Tang and Song dynasties deceived our generals so much that they immediately ordered the king to be punished!"

In the hall, there was a moment of silence.

Yan Chengjin said: "What Lord Zhang said is reasonable, and I also ask the new emperor to issue an imperial edict to punish him."

"Well, I will issue an order in a while and leave the court." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.
