The transitional chapter is over, and the Hetao recovery chapter begins immediately. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the first month, Jiajing seems to be hesitant and may withdraw his support for the proposal to re-set.

This made the discussion of the recovery of the Hetao, which was originally in a good form, more and more difficult, and perhaps the imperial court did not believe that the Tatar Khan took the initiative to surrender and took the Hetao grassland as a generous gift.

In fact, an important reason why the war with the Manchus in the late Ming Dynasty was poor was that the horse-producing Hetao grassland was in the hands of the Mongols, resulting in a shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army, which was dominated by infantry troops, could not withstand the impact of the Manchu cavalry. Moreover, the Manchus also often attacked Beijing through Mongol-controlled areas. If the Hetao grassland was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, it could not only provide a large number of horses for the army and establish a high-quality cavalry team, but also use the Hetao grassland as a base to curb the expansion of the Mongolian steppe by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was actually an important chess piece to restrain the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The internal strife within the Ming Dynasty was always filled with countless disputes that disregarded the interests of the country.

But these things are just the words of a few idle scholars who have nothing to do. This Ming Dynasty seems to be still the four seas of Shengping, although last year of the month of the Japanese invaded Taizhou, but after all, it is the extremely distant border of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are no problems in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains of Nanzhili, there will naturally be no problems.

It's just that at this time it was in the Suzhou prefect's office.

During the lunch break, Xia Shi sat at the stone table with Wang Kai and Gu Juan, who had just returned, looking at the report in his hand, Wang Kai frowned, and seemed to be extremely concerned about the news on it.

Gu Juan looked at Wang Kai like this, so he poured a cup of tea and said: "No matter how anxious you are at this time, I'm afraid it's useless, at this time, the emperor only withdrew the proposal, but he didn't punish the crime, which shows that there is still a place to return." ”

Wang Kai looked at Gu Juan's teacup, sighed faintly, and said: "Elder Yan Ge is really powerful, but in this way, Wen Chang Wenchen's situation is a little embarrassing. ”

At this time, Xia Shi opened his mouth and said: "The left and right are also their own choices, and the so-called place of reversing is actually just to let the emperor see the hope of recovering the Hetao, this is a game of pros and cons, as long as we are patient enough to find a breakthrough, we will naturally have a lot to do." ”

"Is that the breakthrough you sent?"

"Your Excellency guessed right. Gu Juan, who was sitting on the side, was suddenly helpless, she didn't understand what they said at all, so she had to pour tea and water for the two of them again.

When Wang Kai saw Gu Juan's appearance, he immediately laughed, and he said: "Madame, do you still remember a newspaper you read some time ago, which was about Qiu Luan's impeachment.

"What you said is that I did think about him before, but this person is still in prison at this time, how about it?"

At this time, Wang Kai and Xia Shi looked at each other and smiled, which made Gu Juan, who was sitting on the side, embarrassed for a while.

This time, she and Wang Kai don't look like husband and wife.

With the month, Gu Juan's body became more and more inconvenient, and the whole person was lazy, but it was a little different from the previous lively appearance, every afternoon, Wang Kai watched Gu Juan curl up in the rocking chair like a cat to bask in the sun, but for no reason he felt a little stable.

Gu Juan saw Wang Kai coming in, smiled and said, "You're back, I think you and Xia Shi seem to be happier with me these days?"

When Wang Kai heard Gu Juan speak like this, he suddenly felt a little helpless, he sat down beside Gu Juan and said softly: "If Mr. Xia and I look at each other angrily all day long, I'm afraid it will be extremely sad again." ”

Gu Juan stood up, looked at Wang Kai, who was lying on the recliner very leisurely, touched his chin and said, "It's the same, but I'm very curious, what are you going to do?"

Wang Kai smiled, stood up, looked at the still bleak scenery outside the window, and said softly: "If so, wait, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Soon the news came from this Jingshi, saying that His Majesty had beheaded Qiu Luan, who was in prison, which made the Yan Dang, who was very arrogant during this time, suddenly like a basin of cold water in the cold winter.

As for why the emperor suddenly killed this person, it is a little inconvenient for outsiders, Gu Juan asked Wang Kai, Wang Kai only said that all this was Xia Shi's idea, Gu Juan asked Xia Shi, Xia Shi only said that there was a dirty thing in it, if Gu Juan knew, I was afraid that it would not be good.

Gu Juan felt that he knew a lot about the dirty things in this world, but he became more and more curious.

Naturally, there is no need to say all kinds of reasons, but at this time, as soon as Qiu Luan died, I am afraid that if the emperor wants to regret it, he will have to ask his face, if Jiajing regrets it and withdraws the proposal of the Hetao, just because he killed Qiu Luan, I am afraid that he will be criticized and overturn the will he made before.

It's just that at this time, His Majesty still has some doubts, so at this time, Gu Juan must put appropriate pressure on His Majesty.

The so-called prophecy that Gu Juan said to Jiajing at the beginning was that the Ming Dynasty would eventually be destroyed by ethnic minorities from the northwest.

Gu Juan was afraid that this unbeliever would deliberately speak very confusingly, so Jiajing was extremely jealous of the Northwest Response, and it was normal for the recovery of the Hetao to be so capricious.

On this day, Gu Juan wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to Wang Kai, Wang Kai was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "If this is the case?"

"Handed over to the emperor, there is no good or bad for the proposal to recover the Hetao. ”

"What's written in this?"

Gu Juan was suddenly a little helpless, she opened her mouth and said: "The things in this are very important, if you want to know, I will tell you later, at this time, you just have to believe me." ”

Wang Kai nodded, but his gaze at the letter was full of uncertainty.

Thousands of miles away in Beijing, Emperor Jiajing is rarely in the court, so many excerpts are sent to Yuxi Palace, and most of His Majesty will not ask, most of them are seen by the ministers on duty in Xiyuan, but Xia Yan brought a secret letter on this day.

It's a bit peachy to say.

The owner of this secret letter was Gu Jiaru, who was detained in the palace by Jiajing last year, and Huang Jin took the letter and walked to Jiajing, who was sitting on the top of the main hall.

Jiajing's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised, and he asked with interest: "Isn't this girl afraid of me like a snake and scorpion?"

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, this master's metaphor is novel, how can he say that he is a snake and scorpion.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Jiajing took the envelope, opened it and saw it, his eyes suddenly froze, and Huang Jin was suddenly worried, he was really afraid of what Gu Juan's girl had written.

"Call Xia Ge Lao to me. ”

"Yes. ”

This person hadn't summoned Xia Yan for a long time, and this time it was strange.
