Beijing, Xiyuan.

Outside the Wanshou Palace, a young eunuch shrunk his head and looked around the corner, holding a copy of the book in his hand.

The eunuch Huang Jin, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, walked out of the palace gate slowly, beckoned the young eunuch over, and scolded with a smile: "Monkey cub, pretending to be good, and getting a lot of benefits." ”

"Father-in-law Huang, how many taels of silver do you always look at?" The young eunuch handed over the fold and whispered, "It's really no good, the cabinet has pressed down all the other folds and only handed over this one." ”

"Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are so stingy?" Huang Jin snorted, opened the fold casually and looked at it, couldn't help but gasp, turned around and trotted back.

The relationship between the cabinet and the celebrant is complicated, the former is responsible for the drafting, the latter is responsible for approving the red, the former is the head of the hundred officials outside, and the latter is close to the emperor inside, and the coordination is also a check and balance between them.

However, in the Jiajing Dynasty, Yan Song was extremely favored by Jiajing, and Lu Bing's existence greatly weakened the power and responsibility of the celebrant supervisor.

It is difficult to say whether this was deliberately created by Jiajing, although he did not pay attention to the rules, but he did not learn the art of checks and balances.

Two quarters of an hour later, Huang Jin came out with a bitter face, waved his hand to call the cabinet princes, and secretly scolded that Zhang Banzhou in his heart would really cause trouble, after I besieged the city five years ago, it was the first time that he was so angry.

Those who came to meet were Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, Lu Ben, the assistant of the cabinet, and Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry.

Emperor Jiajing, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking calm, and did not look angry before.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes, his narrow eyes were shining, with thin lips and a slightly sharp chin, showing a full mean image.

"Jiaxing won a great victory, killing nearly 2,000 widows." Emperor Jiajing's gaze fell on Yan Song, "Weizhong." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Yan Song's reaction was called fast, and his old body fell to the ground for the first time, "Zhang Banzhou swept the Japanese Invaders, and the southeast Japanese rebellion was calmed down." ”

The corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth curled slightly, and his mocking gaze turned to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was not panicked, "Three days ago, Zhao Wenhua, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, who went south to supervise the war, impeached Zhang Banzhou and raised the Kou without fighting. ”

"Weizhong, Zhao Wenhua is your godson, let's talk about it." Emperor Jiajing reached out and picked up the impeachment note that had been in his hand for three days.

Yan Song stood up tremblingly, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't help but take a few breaths first.

"Don't bring a chair yet." Emperor Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin, "Zhang Jing said that he planned a whole to lure the enemy deeper, and finally defeated the Japanese in the area of Wangjiangjing.

However, Zhao Wenhua said that the Japanese invaders came and went freely in Jiaxing Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and Suzhou Mansion, until Suzhou City was almost breached, Zhang Jing mobilized a large army to relieve the siege, and then the Japanese invaders went south to Jiaxing Mansion, and Zhang Jing, who was located in Tongxiang, was almost captured by the Japanese Invaders, and it happened that Hu Zongxian, the prefect of Hangzhou, mobilized Tianzhou wolf soldiers to rush to defeat the Japanese Invaders. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Yan Song deeply, "But in the middle, which military report is true?" Which military newspaper is fake? ”

Emperor Jiajing is scheming, the city government is very deep, and he will not rashly believe the military report handed down below, and there are not many people who can make waves in the DPRK to make waves against Zhang Jing, and there are only two people, Yan Song and Xu Jie, but Zhao Wenhua, who handed over the impeachment, is a hardcore Yan Party, which makes Jiajing unconsciously let go of Xu Jie.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, no matter which military report is fake, it at least shows that Jiaxing's great victory is genuine."

"You old thing!" Emperor Jiajing squinted his eyes and scolded.

First sing the praises of virtue, and then quietly frame, or shell the golden cicada, this is Yan Song's usual trick, and today is no exception, he arched his hand and said: "Zisheng is from Songjiang, Ru Li is from Yuyao, presumably the news is better than the old minister." ”

Xu Jie and Lu Ben couldn't help but curse in their hearts, it was still a familiar operation, a familiar taste!

"A few days ago, the minister received a letter from the villagers, and more than 10,000 Japanese robbers were entrenched in Jinshanwei, dividing their troops to loot everywhere, and Songjiang, Jiaxing, and Suzhou were miserable." Xu Jie said with a straight face: "There are many gentry who go to Hangzhou for help, and Zhang Banzhou said that he needs wolf soldiers to be in place before he can enter and suppress them." ”

"When will Yongshun and Tianzhou wolf soldiers arrive?" Emperor Jiajing's tone was cold.

"The wolf soldiers of Yongshun Prefecture and Guishun Prefecture arrived in Jiaxing at the end of September, and the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou arrived in Songjiang in early October."

"But Zhang Banzhou's invasion of the Japanese invaders was ...... in November" Emperor Jiajing's voice slowly lowered, slammed the table next to him, and roared angrily: "Why is this also called entering the suppression?!" ”

"The Japanese invaders have all hit the city of Suzhou, and Zhang Jing only sent troops to rescue, if it weren't for the Japanese invaders who lost their hearts and went south to attack Jiaxing, would he Zhang Jing want to watch the Japanese invaders calmly leave the sea and flee?!"

"With more than 100,000 heavy soldiers in hand, seeing the Japanese robbers rampant, are you Xu Jie and Lu Ben dumb!?"

Xu Jie bent down with a look of shame, and Lu Ben in the back felt MMP in his heart, I never had my share in the special benefits, and bad luck would pull me on......

The old god Yan Song sat there, and brought a cup of hot tea that Huang Jin asked the little eunuch to send, thinking that Xu Huating was also a good hand, and he needed to be vigilant in the future.

Xu Jie actually skillfully avoided Emperor Jiajing's question, and mentioned the time difference between the arrival of the wolf soil soldiers and Zhang Jing's entry into the suppression of the Japanese Invaders, and pointed out the most taboo key for Emperor Jiajing with sharp words, you Zhang Banzhou has heavy troops in his hands, and the scope of power covers half of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not take the initiative to suppress the Japanese Invaders.

What is it?

This is called raising a widow with self-respect!

Xu Jie and Yan Song have both served this emperor for many years, and they know Jiajing's temperament too well, and the severity of this emperor's suspicion is comparable to Cao Mengde, who killed people in his dreams.

The hall was quiet, and only the gasping sound of Emperor Jiajing could be faintly heard.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing picked up the fold thrown on the ground and sneered: "In the first battle of Wang Jiangjing, the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou killed more than 1,000 Japanese invaders, and in the first battle of Linping Mountain, Hu Zongxian captured more than 400 Japanese prisoners? ”

Although Emperor Jiajing does not understand military strategy, he understands the following ways, and it is good that the folds handed down below can be trusted for more than five points.

"Your Majesty, there are many coastal fishermen and non-producers, and their heads are not as easy to identify as Mongolians." Yan Song smiled and explained, "But the captives are able to speak...... Lao Chen knows Zhao Wenhua, he is timid but not stupid, he doesn't dare and won't do this kind of trick that can be pierced at the first poke. ”

"Hu Zongxian......" Emperor Jiajing frowned and thought for a while, "I remember that it was the Huguang patrol press before?" ”

"Your Majesty's memory is much better than that of the old minister." Yan Song nodded, "Hu Zongxian is a Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Jiajing, and he has successively patrolled Xuanfu and Datong, rectified the border defense, pacified the rebellion, and then patrolled Huguang to quell the Miao rebellion. ”

Emperor Jiajing squinted, "Then how much silver did Hu Zongxian send you?" Speak for him so hard! ”

The style of the strict party collecting cash and doing things spread all over the capital, how could Emperor Jiajing not know.

Yan Song said with a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, Zhao Wenhua impeached the governor of Zhejiang, Li Tianzhong, who was addicted to alcohol and waste many times, and was scared back by the Japanese in Jiashan County, and Jiashan was also broken because of this, and he saw with his own eyes that Hu Zongxian's talent was ......."

Emperor Jiajing squinted and did not speak, in his heart, Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong did not care whether they lived or died, but they would never be allowed to continue to stay in office.

What's more, Zhao Wenhua, the chicken thief, attached the names of several gentry who were also quite famous in the court to the back of the fold, Li Tianchong's greedy cup mistake is not fiction, he is responsible for being besieged in Shaoxing and Jiashan lost.

If Hu Zongxian is really talented, he is a good candidate to take over as the governor of Zhejiang, but Emperor Jiajing does not want to make decisions in a hurry, and he does not want the courtiers in front of him to easily see through his thoughts.

The anger slowly died out in his heart, and Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is going to practice." Huang Jin lightly sent everyone out of the door.

Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other at the door without saying a word, they both understood that if they wanted to achieve their goals, it was not enough to rely on that letter. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
