"Is this...possible?" Fan Tun said: "Those are two enemies who have been at odds with each other all their lives. They have been at loggerheads ever since the late king's rebellion."

"Everything will never be possible if you don't do it." Li Yimin's lips curved up in an unnoticeable arc.

"Dad," Zheng Yu hurriedly greeted Zheng Ke before he entered the door, "What did the king say? Have you told the king that Mu Yun was wronged?"

Zheng Ke walked straight into the door with a cold face and said nothing.

"Dad, you are talking!" Zheng Yu said anxiously.

"Ayu," Mrs. Zheng scolded her daughter: "Your father just came back from the king, can't you stop and ask again?"

"Ah Zhao," Zheng Ke raised his head and looked at Zheng Zhao who was standing aside, "take Ah Yu back and keep a close watch on her. If you let her sneak out again, I will only ask you."

"Yes, Dad." Zheng Zhao stepped forward to pull his sister.

"Let me go," Zheng Yu shook off his hand and stopped in front of Zheng Ke with an excited expression, "Dad, why are you doing this to me?"

"I was too pampered towards you in the past," Zheng Ke sighed, "I asked you to go out with others to learn martial arts, which made you look like you now. If I don't keep you in a circle, my Zheng family will be dragged down by you."

"Dad, what do you mean?"

"If you still recognize me as your father, you should follow Ah Zhao obediently," Zheng Ke's face darkened, "otherwise, you will no longer be my daughter after you walk out of this door."

"Dad, what did you say?" Zheng Yu was stunned after hearing what his father said.

"Your father is in a bad mood right now," Mrs. Zheng advised her daughter, "It's the same thing if you have anything to say later." Then she winked at Zheng Zhao.

"Ayu, don't be angry with me anymore," Zheng Zhao also came over and said, "You sneaked out of the house in private. My father hasn't gotten over it yet!"

Zheng Yuzhu burst into tears, turned around, covered her face and walked away.

"Go and persuade Ayu, don't let her do anything stupid." Mrs. Zheng pushed Zheng Zhao, and Zheng Zhao hurriedly chased after her.

...

"Alas..." Zheng Ke sighed after returning to the inner bedroom and changing clothes.

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand for the female servant to go out, closed the door, and said to her husband: "Ayu is not yet sixteen years old, so she will inevitably do things according to her own temper. Lord Marquis, please don't be angry again."

"What's the use of me being angry?" Zheng Ke shook his head, "Young people don't know the depth of things. They like to have a hand in everything, and they end up getting themselves into trouble without even realizing it."

"Why, has the King really punished Yang Muyun?" Mrs. Zheng asked.

"The king is very aware of everything and would never be so hasty." He glanced at his wife, "Guess who I met when I entered the palace?"

"who?"

"Ding Lie."

"Is it him? Did he also go into the palace to see the king?" Mrs. Zheng said in surprise.

Zheng Ke nodded.

"He also wants to come forward to protect Yang Muyun?" Mrs. Zheng was even more surprised, "Yang Muyun is the person you recommended, how could Ding Lie join in the fun?"

"You," Zheng Ke laughed, "you women are so naive when thinking about things. Yang Muyun was sent to Jingfusi Prison, why? Because Ruan Sheng said that he kidnapped the Fourth Highness. Once it is confirmed, it will be a big deal.

Zheng Yu and Ding Lie's son Ding Yu were both present at the time. If it's not what I expected, Ding Yu should have told his father Ding Lie about the matter. That's why Ding Lie rushed to the palace.

See the king."

"Master Hou is saying that if Ruan Sheng slanders Yang Muyun, both Ayu and his family Ding Yu will be implicated?" Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.

"If Yang Muyun wants to get away with it, someone has to testify for him. So who will he testify as a witness?"

"It turns out... it turns out that the Marquis rushed to the palace not to intercede for Yang Muyun, but to find out what the king was like like Ding Lie."

"You finally understand, madam?" Zheng Ke glanced at his wife, "This is the capital, and there are undercurrents everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be caught. Ayu is not sensible, so you have to enlighten her.

"

"But will she listen to me now?" Mrs. Zheng shook her head helplessly, "My daughter is older and has her own ideas. As a grandma, it is difficult for me to influence her anymore."

Zheng Ke sighed again, "You and I shouldn't have sent her to Yunshan Temple to practice martial arts with Aunt Ci Lin. She has been there for several years and has lost discipline. It will be difficult to change her behavior."

"Master Marquis," Mrs. Zheng reached out and gently touched his shoulder, "Back then, Ayu was weak and sick. If it hadn't been for Taoist Aunt Cilin's treatment, I don't know if she would be alive today. Taoist Aunt Cilin said that Ayu's illness could only be cured by medicine.

If it doesn't work, we still need to practice internal skills to resolve the root cause of the disease. But can other people's skills be passed on to outsiders for no reason? We just let

Ayu became a disciple of Taoist Ci Lin. In the past few years, hasn’t Ayu’s illness been completely cured? When you were marching south, Lord Marquis, Ayu followed you and saved you from danger several times..." Mrs. Zheng said more

Yue's eyes shone brightly when he said, "Ayu is what she is today because of Taoist Aunt Cilin. It's not too late for us to express our gratitude to others for their kindness!"

Zheng Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Everything Madam said is right, but it would be better if Ayu could temper her temper."

"Master Hou..." Mrs. Zheng sat down next to him, "Let Ayu get married. When a girl gets married, she will naturally lose her temper."

"Married?" Zheng Ke glanced at his wife, "Could it be that you have already looked for her husband's family for her?"

"When the Marquis met Ding Lie, did he mention that his Ding Yu liked our Ayu?"

"Madam, please don't mention this matter again," Zheng Ke's face became a little embarrassed, "That man named Ding said that his Ding Yu would not marry our daughter no matter who he married, and he wanted me to give up...

..”

"He really said that?"

"Then there is still a lie? Can I still lie to you, madam?"

"You men," said Mrs. Zheng, both angry and amused, "how come you are not as generous as us women? Some of the things that happened decades ago about old millet and rotten sesame seeds are still remembered to this day. You all fought side by side under the late king.

Come on, what’s there to see?”

"He has always been brooding about it, so what does it have to do with me?" Zheng Ke became excited when talking about that year, "Back then, he and his brother Ding Li were besieged by the Ming army. It was not that I didn't rescue them, but I had to wait for others.

We can only attack when several reinforcements arrive together. Otherwise, with the thousands of men under my command, we will die if we go up. Later, Liu Renshu and Li Yin's soldiers and horses arrived.

We attacked together and pushed back the Ming army, and then we rescued him. However, his brother Ding Li died in the battle. Fortunately for him, he blamed me for his brother's death and said that I refused to save him.

, you said I was unjust or not...The late king also tried to persuade him later, but he just refused to listen and never gave me a good look over the years." He shook his head as he spoke.

"It's hard to say this after your brother died," Mrs. Zheng said, "but you can't say that their brothers were ambushed by the Ming army just to gain credit..."

"Come on," Zheng Ke waved his hand, "Don't mention the past anymore. It's not that my daughter, Zheng Ke, can't get married. She has to be married to the Ding family. There are many young talents from the distinguished families in the capital.

, Madam, please inquire carefully so that you won’t be wronged. Ayu. I’ll open the door of his Ding family.

The daughter of the Zheng family will never climb the mountain."

"Okay, okay, why are you still in high spirits?" Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "Master Hou, you should rest early. He has to go to court tomorrow morning!"

"Go and see Ah Yu," Zheng Ke looked at her and said, "I'm afraid Ah Zhao can't coax her."

"I understand," Mrs. Zheng said, "That is the daughter I gave birth to. I don't need you to tell me how to go."

In the morning of the next day, Li Yuanlong sat in the Jingtian Hall and convened the ministers for discussion. When he brought up the crisis situation of occupying the city and the movement of the Ming Dynasty's army to the south, the ministers couldn't agree. Some said that the occupation of the city should be abandoned. Since it is difficult to manage the occupied people, they should seal one.

The king of Cham people became Dai Viet's puppet. All Dai Viet troops withdrew from Cham City and concentrated their efforts to deal with the Ming army moving south.

Some people say that Champa cannot be abandoned. After all, the territory gained by the bloodshed and sacrifice of Dai Viet soldiers was so easily lost. How can it be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers? But at this delicate moment, we cannot mobilize troops to go south. It is best to transport supplies from the sea.

Dai Viet officers and soldiers staying at Vijaya.

Upon hearing this, Du Shaozhen, the general manager of Husi, couldn't help it. He stepped forward and listed the food and clothing expenses of the 20,000 troops stationed in Champa City for one month. Husi wanted to supply food, grass and weapons to the 150,000 troops around Tokyo and north.

It was very difficult, and with the Champa garrison hundreds of miles away, it was really too much to bear. Food for the Champa garrison should be provided by them nearby.

Zheng Ke immediately retorted that if the Cham people were to fortify their walls and clear the country, how could the garrison deal with it nearby? They were trapped in a corner of Vijaya and were not strong enough to sweep out the surrounding areas. It was even more undesirable to abandon the Cham city. If the Ming army really attacked, what would happen if the Cham people cooperated with the Ming army in the attack in the south?

?So as long as you guard Vijaya, it is like a nail wedged into the belly of the person who is occupying it, and the person who is occupying it cannot take care of him.

The ministers were quarreling back and forth, which made Li Yuanlong's head tremble. When he saw Ding Lie standing aside without saying a word, he asked him for his opinion.

Ding Lie also did not agree to abandon the city, but the troops in the north could not be mobilized. In view of the critical situation in the city, it was better to send a general to take charge there. Zheng Ke took the opportunity to recommend Ruan Sheng, the deputy governor, saying that he was young and promising.

He is the perfect choice to take charge of Vijaya.

When Ruan Chi heard this, he asked Zheng Ke why he didn't go. Zheng Ke smiled slightly and said that there were a lot of rumors in the court during the southern expedition to capture the city, and it was not appropriate to go there to take charge. If Ruan Sheng went, Ruan Xianghe and the court would

The minister should feel more at ease.

Li Yuanlong asked Ding Lie again for his opinion. Without waiting for him to speak, Zheng Ke said that Ding Lie was the governor and was responsible for the capital's garrison and could not leave easily. It would be more appropriate to let Ruan Sheng go on his behalf.

Seeing Ding Lie's silence, Li Yuanlong took it as his acquiescence and immediately decided to appoint the deputy governor Ruan Sheng as General Jingnan to supervise the transportation of grain, grass and weapons southward to Pijaya by sea.

The battle in the court has finally come to an end.

Yunshan Temple is a Taoist temple located on Yunshan Mountain in the west of Tokyo City. It is surrounded by lakes at the foot of the mountain, green mountains and green waters, and the scenery is pleasant.

Taoism was introduced to Annan by Lu Xun of the Five Dou Rice Cult during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At that time, Annan was still called Jiaozhou. After that, Taoist people from the Central Plains continued to come to Annan to settle down.

The most famous thing is that at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Xu Zongdao, a northern Taoist priest, fled to Annan with a merchant ship. His arrival attracted the attention of the Annan court and the public. At that time, Chen Renzong of the Annan Dynasty appointed him as the Inspector of the School, Ping Zhangshi, and the capital of Qinghua Prefecture.

Marshal, gave him a purple fish bag. When the Yuan army invaded, Xu Zongdao and the general of the Annan army were there

Bai Hejiang swore an oath to make an alliance with the gods and repay the emperor with all his heart and soul. As a result, he repelled the Yuan army and killed the Yuan generals and instigated the capital. After that, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty believed in Taoism even more and asked Xu Zongdao to hold Huang Zhai many times.
