Chapter 223: Face Saint (2)
Jiajing may be the smartest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, you must know that after Zhu Dijing, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, took the throne, the first thing he did was exactly the same as his nephew, cutting the domain.
Therefore, the vassal kings of the middle and late Ming Dynasty were basically abolished, and Jiajing, who unexpectedly ascended the throne, showed extraordinary political tactics and indomitable will from the beginning, which proved that he was extraordinary and talented.
However, after all, he has not experienced a perfect experience in the cultivation of a prince, and Emperor Jiajing has shown a different thinking mode from his ancestors and descendants in many aspects.
For example, Emperor Jiajing handled many things to a large extent as he wanted.
The earliest Fang Xianfu, then Zhang Xuan, Xia Yan, and now Li Mo, all of them were appreciated by Emperor Jiajing, and they were promoted to the throne in a very short period of time.
In other words, as long as it is in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, then it is easy to soar.
Of course, if he is rejected by Emperor Jiajing, he will fall very quickly, Li Mo in history was fierce this year, but he was imprisoned in Zhao Prison by Emperor Jiajing in the second year, and died depressed.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing now likes the young man in front of him very much, he is articulate, has something to say, and has an extraordinary bearing and handsome appearance.
Well, Emperor Jiajing is a Yan party, and the courtiers who have been favored by him over the years have basically not been ugly...... Even Xu Jie, who is short in stature, is considered to be beautiful.
"The head of the Songjiang case, the middle school of Nanzhili Township, and Lu Shusheng's protΓ©gΓ©." Emperor Jiajing chuckled and said, "Presumably, next year's spring festival should be captured." β
Uh, Qian Yuan didn't understand, he was still stunned, and Huang Jin on the side covered his mouth and said angrily: "Stupid, Jinshi is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven." β
"Oh, student Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan hurriedly bowed down.
Emperor Jiajing smiled and beckoned Qian Yuan to get up, "After encountering great changes for more than ten days, he can still be on the list in the Nanzhili Township Examination, and he is worthy of being a young talent." β
What can Qian Yuan say...... I can only try to squeeze out a shy smile.
Emperor Jiajing put away his smile, pondered for a moment and asked the first question, "The Taiping Mansion has completely annihilated the Japanese in the night battle, who is leading the army?" β
"No one leads the army."
Qian Yuan's answer was very quick and unexpected.
Staring at the gold bricks on the ground with slightly lowered eyes, Qian Yuan spoke: "Actually, there is an answer to this question in another way, who killed the Japanese robbers that night." β
After a pause, Qian Yuan raised his head and spit out clearly in a calm tone, "It's a student." β
The problem that bothers Emperor Jiajing the most these days is this, the Japanese invaders traveled more than a thousand miles to attack Nanjing, who exterminated this group of Japanese invaders, it was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang? Or should the Heavenly Governor Cao Bangfu?
The news delivered by Nanjing was chaotic, some of them were for Hu Zongxian, some were for Cao Bangfu, and some scolded Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei.
In fact, the answer to this question does not determine whether Hu Zongxian or Cao Bangfu will take over as governor of Zhejiang, but Emperor Jiajing never wants to be teased by his courtiers.
Emperor Jiajing lived in Xiyuan all the year round and rarely summoned courtiers, but his character determined that he always tried to control everything...... This is also the main reason why the power of Jinyiwei was so huge in the Jiajing Dynasty.
Regarding this issue, Emperor Jiajing has had countless speculations, and he has also seen various rumors circulating in the southeast in the secret music sent by Lu Bing, but he could not have imagined that the most unlikely guess is the truth.
"More than 100 Japanese ......" Huang Jin on the side stammered, "It is said that more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians died in their hands, ...... You're ...... alone."
"More than 100 Japanese invaders landed from Haiyan to attack Beixinguan, and when they traveled more than 1,000 miles to reach Taiping Mansion, there were still 39 true Japanese left." Qian Yuan said unhappily: "Just me, with a dagger, killed thirty-two people, and then the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou entered the village." β
Emperor Jiajing squinted at Qian Yuan, he didn't think that this young man would tell such a big lie in front of him that could be easily punctured, but he needed an explanation.
"It's easy to say." Qian Yuan said slowly: "The Japanese are also human beings, and they want to eat and drink soup, and the students are drugged. β
"Poof!"
Huang Jin on the side couldn't hold back his laughter, last year, Linpingshan captured 400 Japanese prisoners in the First World War, which was the largest number of prisoners since the Anti-Japanese War...... The previous record was thirteen.
Huang Jinyu still remembers Lu Bing's distorted face when he talked about the inside story of the First Battle of Linpingshan, and he also remembers the hearty laughter of Emperor Jiajing at that time.
"The old trick is repeated...... Emperor Jiajing also had a slight smile on his face, "I got drugged, and then I killed all the Japanese by myself?" β
"Of course it's not that easy." Qian Yuan licked his lips, "That's a sleep-inducing medicine, put it in mung bean soup, get up in the middle of the night, hold a dagger......"
"After covering his mouth with his hand, he stabbed his chest with a dagger...... Covered in blood, like a demon......"
"Remember the moonlight that night......"
Looking at the young man's gradually raised brows, Huang Jin swallowed his saliva, and a scene appeared in his mind for no reason, the moonlight sprinkled all over the village, and the bloody young man held a dagger, strolling on the village path, with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him.
"I remember killing thirty-one true widows, and I happened to meet the leader of the widows at night." A trace of coldness unconsciously flashed in Qian Yuan's eyes, "This thief is strong in martial arts, fierce and tyrannical, and has no less than a thousand lives in his hands. β
Although this young man was sitting in front of him, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but get nervous, "What happened later?" β
"The dagger pierces the shoulder, the entanglement rolls, and the three head hammers." Qian Yuan grinned, "Then...... The student bit him to death. β
The empty apse fell silent, and it seemed that a cold wind was burrowing through the gap and hovering around the three of them, Huang Jin glanced at Qian Yuan's white teeth, and quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look again.
"Once this move is reported, how many people in the world are willing to associate with students?"
"But the students don't dare to deceive Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiajing's expression moved slightly, it is true, the scholar can enjoy a good reputation for killing the Japanese, but he wants to kill the Japanese in person...... There are still reputations, but not all of them are good names.
"The pirates roamed for thousands of miles, burning, killing and looting, killing and killing unarmed people at will, and everywhere they passed, they were devastated and wailed."
Qian Yuan was already a little choked, and his words were intermittent.
"Students have seen it, students have heard it......"
"A child who has not yet learned to speak, an old farmer who is still working in the fields......"
"A father loses a son, a son loses his mother, a husband loses his wife......"
Qian Yuan got up and fell to the ground, "The student only hates not being able to cut him with a thousand knives, only hates not being able to eat his flesh and drink his blood......"
Big tears fell on the gold bricks, Qian Yuan, who thought he was just performing, was filled with hatred and sorrow in his heart, and those scenes that he tried to forget were afraid that he would be entangled in this life.
Emperor Jiajing Huo Ran got up, walked over in a few steps, helped Qian Yuan up with his own hands, and even patted the back of Qian Yuan's already wet hand to comfort him.
"A student, who is not more than twenty years old, sees the tragic situation, regardless of his own safety, resolutely kills the widow, not to mention just biting to death, even if it is to eat his flesh and drink his blood, it is also a matter of course."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan, who came to his senses, fell to the ground again.
"Get up." Huang Jin hurriedly came over to help Qian Yuan, "Come on, come on, have a cup of tea." β
"Father-in-law Xie Huang."
"Yes, although our family is a slave, we also admire this feat, and some people will say irresponsible remarks in the future, and our family will shave his big ears." Huang Jin smiled and asked again: "Bite that guy to death, what about the rest of the widows?" β
Qian Yuan held the tea and continued: "That is, the luck of the students, I thought that I would die at the hands of the Japanese Bandits, so I made a ruthless decision to let the leader of the Japanese Bandits accompany the funeral...... It just so happened that night that the wolf soldiers attacked at night and wiped out the few remaining widows. β
"Tianzhou wolf soldiers?" Emperor Jiajing, who calmed down, asked, "Who led the troops?" β
Qian Yuan hesitated and said with a wry smile: "Zhong Nan, the leader of the Tianzhou wolf soldiers, but the actual commander of the troops...... It was the leader of the guards gathered by the students, so Shicai said that there was no one to lead the troops. β
"Captain of the Guard?"
"Since the Japanese rebellion three years ago, the students have gathered dozens of guards, most of whom are the children of Songjiang tenants, and they have won a lot in the battles of Chongde, Jiading, and Linpingshan." Qian Yuan carefully explained: "The leader is Yang Wen, a native of Taizhou, although this person is young, he has a strategic belly, knows the art of war, and is brave and good at fighting. β
"Taizhou is the Fuzhou with the largest number of invasions by the Japanese invaders, Yang Wen is resentful all day long, every time the Japanese are desperate, Wu Song general Yu Dayou, Zhejiang guerrilla Qi Jiguang have wanted to call him to join the army, but three years ago Yang Wen was rescued by the students, so he refused to leave."
"Since the students were taken away by the Japanese and coerced, Yang Wen led the guards and Tianzhou wolf soldiers to pursue them all the way, and he was in charge during the period."
It is also helpless to put the credit on Yang Wen's head, Zhong Nan was personally sent by Hu Zongxian, and Qian Yuan really didn't want to choose between Hu Zongxian and Cao Bangfu without any signs.
And Wang Yi ...... In case Emperor Jiajing came and summoned him with interest, and then in case he was recognized as Zeng Xian's old department...... In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Qian Yuancai simply let Wang Yi not enter Beijing with him this time.
Emperor Jiajing asked a few more words before he sighed: "There is no shortage of loyal and brave people in the world, why is the southeast rebellion delayed?" β
Qian Yuan closed his mouth, and his own question was not finished.
Sure enough, the next moment, Huang Jin asked the most confusing question for outsiders.
"Huizhou Mansion to Taiping Mansion, nearly a thousand miles away, but the Japanese are coerced...... And you can still gain the trust of the Japanese cosus, wrap up their wounds, and take care of their food and lodging? β
Qian Yuan was a little nervous, "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, this matter has its own reasons, but it's a long story." β
Emperor Jiajing sat down and took a sip of tea, putting on a posture of listening attentively to the commentary. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
