It was already dusk, and Qian Yuan walked to the eaves only to find that it was raining lightly outside, and a servant came to ask if he had a meal, and the guards around him drove him away.

The previous ones were only officials below the fourth grade, Xu Jie's strength had been greatly damaged, and his face was gone, and those officials above the fourth grade who had shown themselves ...... Xu Jie is even worse.

Of course, the officials below the fourth grade took down forty or fifty at one time this time, and the others were also demoted, and most of the officials above the fourth grade were highly qualified and had backgrounds, and there were not many who fell.

However, it is worth mentioning that seven of the eight methods proposed in the Jingcha can be used for demotion, and only one must be used and cannot be reinstated...... That is the reason why Xu Jiusi was driven away, he is old and sick.

Min Rulin, the word Shi Wang, No. Wutang, Huzhou Wucheng people, Jiajing eleven years of Jinshi, the election of Shu Jishi, this person took a typical route of the prime minister, Hanlin Academy after the qualifications into the Zhan Mansion, successively served as the right Zhongyun, the left Yude, and Taichang Shaoqing was in charge of the country's supervisor, and was later promoted to the Ministry of Servants.

It is worth noting that Min Rulin has been walking behind Xu Jie, Xu Jie stepped down as the country's son of the priest wine, Min Rulin took over, Xu Jie stepped down as the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Min Rulin took over, and Xu Jie lectured in Lingji Palace that year, and Min Rulin was among them.

In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Min Rulin was promoted to the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, which was an important chess piece hidden by Xu Jiezang in Nanjing, and its importance was far greater than that of Zhao Zhenji, who also entered the cabinet later.

But the day before the end of the Jingcha, the Imperial Procuratorate had a royal history to investigate and collect the relics, and impeached Min Rulin for being old and sick and so sick that he failed to perform his duties, and was ordered to be a minister.

You must know that this is the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, once Yan Song fails, he is recalled to Beijing at least one of the six books, maybe the new emperor can still enter the cabinet when he ascends the throne...... Now I can only go home miserably to retire.

Min Rulin is not the only one who is unlucky.

Lu Shen, the word Ru Pei, the number of the book, Shaanxi Xianning County, Jiajing two years of Jinshi, the same year of Xu Jie, although did not choose Shu Jishi, but many times, rich experience in governance, Jiajing 33 Zhang from Nanjing Hubu Shangshu to Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, is Lu Shen took over as Nanjing Hubu Shangshu.

Also the day before the end of the Beijing Chacha, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments all had officials from the Department of Science and Technology to investigate and pick up the relics, impeaching Lu Shen for being old and sick and even derelict from his duties, and was ordered to pay tribute.

lost two Nanjing Shangshu at one time, Xu Jie's estimate was so distressed that he vomited blood, and he was old and sick...... Min Rulin and Xu Jie are the same age, and Lu Shen is a young jinshi, but he is only two years older than Xu Jie...... Yan Song is about to be eighty!

Qian Yuancai didn't care if Xu Jie's blood would vomit or not, what he considered was that Xu Jie's trick of shrinking the head turtle was really amazing.

Yan Song's father and son may have forgotten that whether the power in the court is stable or not, the key depends on what Emperor Jiajing thinks.

In Emperor Jiajing's view, political balance was the most important.

Under normal circumstances, Emperor Jiajing would not interfere in the political disputes of his courtiers, but once one side broke the political balance, it would be difficult for Emperor Jiajing to endure it.

Wasn't Li Mo's loss of power last year because he was too arrogant, overpowering Yan Song and Xu Jie, and breaking the political balance?

The light rain gradually became heavier, Qian Yuan took a few steps back, but did not return to the hall, only stood behind the eaves and watched the rain scene, and the wind with a little rain came to his face, which made Qian Yuan feel refreshed.

Yan Song shouldn't be unwise about this, it should be Yan Shifan's hand...... Qian Yuan pondered in his heart, no wonder the history books said that Emperor Jiajing was extremely disgusted with Yan Donglou in his later years.

It's been a few years since Yan Song's downfall, and Xu Jie may continue to be a shrinking turtle to win Emperor Jiajing's sympathy, but this time there are so many vacant positions...... If Yan Dang grabs it, he is afraid that the time for Yan Song's fall will be pushed forward.

Two soldiers with hats came out of the wall of the gate in the distance, and there were guards here to greet them, Qian Yuan didn't make a sound, and smiled bitterly in his heart, if there is no accident, it is possible for uncle Qian Zheng to go further this time.

Since June and July last year, the envoys have been sick and bedridden, and the chief of the envoys is Qian Zheng, who is the left secretary, and this time the envoy was also repelled because of his old age and illness...... It stands to reason that Qian Zheng should be in charge, and whether it is Xu Jie or Yan Song, he will not stop him.

"Young master, there is a military report, and the Japanese invaded Xiaoshan."

Qian Yuan put his hands behind him, the affairs of the capital were thousands of miles away, and he couldn't do anything...... Maybe I have a chance to do something again in the future, and the things in front of me are more imminent.

"It's finally begun." Qian Yuan muttered to himself in his heart, although it was just a temptation, Xu Hai just wanted to take this opportunity to spy on the layout of the official army, but after all, this big battle kicked off.

But Qian Yuan never expected that the prelude to the war would be opened in such an incredible way.

There was a commotion inside and outside the governor's palace, and several untied military horses at the door neighed and raised their front hooves, and three horsemen rushed to them, grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted, threw their waist cards to the porter, and hurried in three or two steps.

"Shaoxing Military News."

The loud voice of the report interrupted everyone's discussion, and the messenger, who was wet all over his body, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Yesterday, 600 Japanese invaders attacked Haining, repelled by General Yu's troops, and suddenly landed in Xiaoshan before dusk today, besieged Xiaoshan County, and retreated eastward. ”

"No problem." Mao Kun immediately looked at the map, "Liu Xian has two armies, one army is stationed in Yuyao, and the other army is stationed in Shaoxing. ”

Qian Yuan motioned to the guards to hand over a rag, the messenger wiped his face and did not get up, and continued: "General Liu sent a military report that five hundred Japanese soldiers had landed from Lihaisuo, killed hundreds of officers and soldiers, and were attacking Sanshansuo. ”

Sanshansuo and Lihaisuo are important strongholds to protect San'in County, since the beginning of last year's war, has fallen several times, Lihaisuo is fine, but Sanshansuo can not be lost, this place is only dozens of miles away from San'in.

Hu Zongxian and Zheng Ruozeng turned their heads to look at Qian Yuan for the first time, the meaning was obvious, there would be no mistake in the intelligence, right?

At once, more than 1,000 Japanese invaders, which is not a small number.

Qian Yuan shook his head, "Wait, don't worry." ”

To determine whether the Japanese invaded everywhere, spied on the weaknesses of the officers and troops, or concentrated the main force to invade at the first time, the key is to see how many places are attacked, after all, the main force under Xu Hai's command is only four or five thousand Japanese invaders, and many of them are young and strong, Xu Hai does not dare to rashly divide the troops.

"The generals will only set off in the afternoon, Liu Xian should go to Shanyin," Hu Zongxian turned his head and ordered, "Order Liu Xian to stick to the city, send more scouts to investigate, and keep the three mountains." ”

"In addition, we sent a horse to inquire about the dynamics of Yuyao, Ningbo, and Taizhou." Qian Yuan added.

Mao Kun nodded, held the pen for a while, Wang Yin stamped the big seal, put it in an oiled paper bag, and the messenger set off immediately.

Hu Zongxian pursed his lips, suddenly turned his head and said: "Weixi, be ready, lead troops to aid Shaoxing at any time, and Zhifu, you will return to Jiaxing Mansion early tomorrow morning to preside over the overall situation." ”

Qian Yuan glanced at Yu Dayou, feeling a little strange...... After today's discussion, Liu Xian, Tang Kekuan, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun and others have all rushed back to the station, only Yu Dayou, who is closest to Hangzhou Mansion, did not leave.

I remember that in history, the Japanese invaded Fujian, and the imperial history of the DPRK and China was impeached, and Hu Zongxian put the blame on Yu Dayou, and Hu Zongxian was very close to Yu Dayou in this life.

Just after eating a little snack in the Governor's Mansion to satisfy his hunger, Qian Yuan wondered in his heart that he didn't know if Shaoxing Mansion could hold it...... Because he didn't know that Liu Xian was also a famous anti-Japanese general in history, he was quite worried about him.

has been waiting for a long time, such as Mao Kun and Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help but doze off, Hu Zongxian is asking his subordinates to pack up a few guest rooms and come out...... On weekdays, the staff members all lived in the former governor's yamen.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves made everyone's hearts tighten.

"What?!"

"Huzhou?!"

Everyone was shocked, it was unbelievable that the Japanese were able to raise troops in Huzhou, and even break through Nanxun Town.

Hu Zongxian sat down on the chair with his ass down, his eyes blank...... This was too big a blow to him, and the Japanese invaders actually quietly gathered thousands of people in Huzhou to attack the city, what does this mean?

Either the armies along the coasts in the southeast were ignored by the Japanese invaders, or Xu Hai had already left behind in Huzhou last year...... Either way, it meant that Hu Zongxian's plan had failed completely, and he couldn't imagine what his fate would be.

Hu Zongxian's eyes fell on Yu Dayou, Huzhou was not heavily guarded, and the closest to Huzhou was Yu Dayou, who was stationed in Jiaxing Mansion.

Although Hu Zongxian is good at strategy and knows military strategy, he is also a bureaucrat in nature, and he encounters this kind of thing...... The fear of the heart begins to take the lead.
