If it is said that there were successive imperial histories, and even the Hubu Shangshu Fang bluntly wrote a letter proposing to open the sea and ban trade, it did not attract the attention of Emperor Jiajing, but the rumors that followed about Hu Zongxian appeasing Wang Zhi ...... Emperor Jiajing immediately locked on Qian Yuan.

The reason is obvious, a two-rank jinshi and a governor of Zhejiang, who holds the power of soldiers and horses in several provinces, and a well-known leader of the Japanese Bandits, it is impossible for Hu Zongxian not to block the news, once this kind of thing is leaked, it will be idle to be ruined.

Not to mention that Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi are still fellow villagers.

Now there are rumors in Beijing, some say that there are noses and eyes, Hu Zongxian returned to his hometown to guard filial piety for six years, and met Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng who could only travel abroad if he couldn't study, and the two became friends......

But some rumors are more vicious, saying that Hu Zongxian not only colluded with Wang Zhi, but also colluded with Xu Hai, intending to rebel and rule by dividing the river...... Some people believe this kind of nonsense!

There's no way, it's just so coincidental, Huizhou is a mountainous area, not near the sea, but from the Xu brothers to Xu Weixue, Wang Zhi, and Xu Hai are all from Huizhou.

Imperial power is an insurmountable high-voltage line in the feudal dynasty, as soon as this kind of rumor comes out, even Yan Shifan is inconvenient to come forward to curb the rumors, Qian Yuan and Xu Wei unanimously judged that this is a ghost that Xu Jie is secretly messing with.

However, Emperor Jiajing was disdainful of this, looked at the recital sent by Huang Jin after criticizing the red, and said casually: "Summoning Qian Yuan." ”

With a light tone and calling him by his name, Huang Jin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly withdrew, and just walked outside the hall to call a little eunuch over, he saw Feng Bao coldly.

"Grandpa Huang." Feng Bao is very respectful, now there are a total of three eunuchs in the master of ceremonies, two of them are over sixty years old, and one is only in their forties, but this year he is seriously ill and can't get up, he wants to go further, Huang Jin has a lot of right to speak.

"Your Majesty summons Zhancai, you can take a trip." Huang Jin, who has always been smiling, didn't have a smile at all at this time, "A few words, Your Majesty is not very happy." ”

As the eunuch in charge of the seal and the head of the East Factory, Huang Jin will not and does not need to collude with foreign ministers, even if he looks at Qian Yuan, he will not secretly communicate the news, but for more than a year, whenever Emperor Jiajing is happy, Qian Yuan is mostly present.

"Huh?" Huang Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Bao, who was not moving.

"Uh...... Zhancai is just outside the West Garden. Feng Bao swallowed.

Today's Qian Yuan is wearing a Taoist robe, but the style has been slightly modified, there are no long sleeves fluttering, and the collar, cuffs, and waist are all ingenious, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Meet Your Majesty." Qian Yuan fell to the ground, this time he didn't expect Emperor Jiajing to kneel and give him a seat.

"How fast can you show your talents?" Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Why did you come?" ”

Huang Jin will not hide it for Qian Yuan, he will wait for Qian Yuan on the Xiyuan outside, Emperor Jiajing knows that he is not wrong, it is this kid who is making trouble.

"Students want to leave for the south tomorrow, so they are here to leave."

Emperor Jiajing squinted, his narrow eyes revealed a fine light, and he said after a long time: "I thought you were here to ask for sin!" ”

Qian Yuan straightened up and said calmly: "Hu Ruzhen wants to appease Wang Zhi, it is indeed the news released by the students...... But what is the sin of the students? ”

"The world is Your Majesty's world, but the southeast is rich, is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and now the southeast is in turmoil, the governor of Zhejiang, Yamen, has proposed the law, intercepted the two Huai salt taxes, and trained the new army, so that the DPRK and the central government are not enough to use the money, and even His Majesty has to transfer silver from the internal treasury for disaster relief, and he is not even willing to raise another lion."

Emperor Jiajing's gaze involuntarily looked away...... From the internal carrier warehouse to transfer silver for disaster relief, that is, the household department really can't hold on, and Fang Yu privately promised that in the future, the household department will be full, and no longer prevent Emperor Jiajing from taking silver from Taicang.

The lion cat died and didn't raise a second ...... That's because the few lion cats sent to the palace in the past half a year are not treated well by Emperor Jiajing, and if you want to raise them, you have to raise the best, so at least they have to be snow-white and have a pair of mandarin duck eyes...... Thinking of Lu Bing's snow dragging gun, Emperor Jiajing can't look down on it.

"Your Majesty, the student is saving money for the court and for Your Majesty."

Qian Yuan's affection was sincere, the corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth twitched, and Huang Jin covered his mouth and smiled.

This guy is too, Emperor Jiajing sighed, "Give me the money...... Let's talk about it. ”

"That'...... Hu Ruzhen soothed Wang Zhi, is Your Majesty allowed or not? Qian Yuan cautiously probed.

"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing glanced at the past lightly, and Qian Yuan immediately lowered his head.

"Get up and speak." Emperor Jiajing is angry and funny, and he can go to the sky if he gives this guy a rod.

Huang Jin moved a round stool over, and said with a smile: "Zhancai carefully said that if you can save money, Your Majesty can choose two more lions." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan sat down, rubbed his knees, and then said, "Don't say anything about opening the sea and banning trade...... Your Majesty, Da Si Nong's matter really has nothing to do with the students, and it is estimated that he was forced to do it...... It's really iron-clad. ”

"If you talk nonsense again, you won't be able to go anywhere!" Emperor Jiajing glared, he had heard the word head iron from Qian Yuan's mouth last year.

"Not to mention the ban on trade through the sea, as long as you go out with a meaning, the court intends to recruit, and Hu Ruzhen has the means to contact Wang Zhi, so ...... Wang Zhi may fight back. Qian Yuan explained carefully: "In fact, before the destruction of Ligang, Wang Zhi forcibly ordered the maritime merchants not to go ashore and harass the people, but he could only control his own men. ”

"The main reason is that Wang Zhi set up a grass market in Ligang, and almost all the trade channels are in his hands, and once other maritime merchants are unable to receive goods from mainland merchants, they may turn into Japanese bandits."

"But even after the destruction of Ligang, Wang Zhi went east to the Wa Kingdom, mainly making a living from sea trade, and his subordinates rarely went ashore to invade the southeast coastal areas, and it was actually Xu Hai who made trouble in the southeast in the past two years, not Wang Zhi."

Emperor Jiajing interrupted: "What does Zhancai mean...... If the imperial court intends to appease him, Wang Zhi may fight back and help the official army to destroy Xu Hai? ”

"Your Majesty sees a thousand miles." Qian Yuan slapped a sycophant with his hand, "First, Xu Hai has invaded several times and fought several times, making the ban on trade in the sea far away, Wang Zhi hates it deeply, he is unwilling to go to war."

Second, from May last year to June this year, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war at sea, with dozens of large and small wars, and the sea was red, and Xu Hai once secretly sent a dead soldier to assassinate Wang Zhi, and the two had a deep hatred.

Third, in the 30th year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi once joined forces with the official army to strangle several Japanese bandits, including Chen Sipan, the leader of Fujian maritime merchants. ”

After saying that, Qian Yuan came to a conclusion, "Therefore, if the imperial court intends to appease him, Wang Zhi may fight back, Xu Hai will die, and the main force of the Japanese under his command will be destroyed, at least the situation in Zhejiang and Susong will improve a lot." ”

Emperor Jiajing's eyes seemed to be closed, and he said softly: "Drive the wolf and devour the tiger? ”

"Xu Hai is a vicious tiger, but Wang Zhi may not be a hungry wolf." Qian Yuan leaned forward the stool, leaned out and whispered: "The student said that Wang Zhi is unwilling to go to war, all he wants is to open the sea and ban trade. ”

"Open the sea and ban trade...... Emperor Jiajing repeated, sighing softly, "Where is it so simple." ”

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't allow it, you can use this name to lure Wang Zhi ashore, as long as you keep people." Qian Yuan gritted his teeth, "At least there is room to use the means." ”

"By what means?"

"Let them kill each other, no matter how bad it is, it will leave more time for the southeast to form and train the new army." Qian Yuan paused, "The students have also buried chess pieces in the wokou, and they may be able to disturb the situation when the time comes." ”

Emperor Jiajing was interested, "Who is buried in the Japanese Kou?" Listening to the long words, his identity is not low, and he can detect the movements of Xu Hai's main force. ”

"This person is a maritime businessman, and his father and brother also went to Zhoushan Ligang many times back then, and they have a friendship." Qian Yuan said nonsense: "This person studied when he was young, turned to business, and after the destruction of Ligang, he was engulfed in by the Japanese invaders, and then Chongde was captured, and the students wanted to release him as an eyeliner. ”

Qian Yuan was tight-lipped about this matter, except for the leaders of the Qian family's guards who were involved, even Xu Wei and Qian Zheng didn't know about it, but Qian Yuan and Xu Wei were right.
