The water is a bit muddy.

Emperor Jiajing is not a monarch who was born in the deep palace and raised in the hands of a woman, his scheming, scheming and perseverance are his true portrayals.

But even if Emperor Jiajing experienced an eighteen-year battle over etiquette, and once single-handedly played with people's hearts to make Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Xu Jie, the top figures in the world, bite each other, he has to admit that the water in the southeast is really a bit muddy now.

It has been nearly nine years since the 26th year of Jiajing, and the first governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, has also set up a governor of Zhejiang who commands the soldiers and horses of the six provinces, and there are Wang Chen, Peng Huang, Tu Dashan, Li Tianzhong, Zhang Jing, and Yang Yi one after another.

A small group of Japanese robbers traveled thousands of miles, destroying cities and burning villages along the way, and killing more than 5,000 officers and soldiers and civilians, which was a big slap in the face to Emperor Jiajing, and his dissatisfaction with the southeastern officials reached the peak in his heart.

In fact, neither Cao Bangfu nor Hu Zongxian was the most satisfactory candidate in Emperor Jiajing's heart, but the words of the young man in Songjiang in front of him made Emperor Jiajing begin to reconsider.

The most critical point is that Emperor Jiajing remembered a person, the first governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Kun.

In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, Zhu Kun was the right deputy imperial envoy to inspect Zhejiang, and he supervised the military affairs of Zhejiang-Fujian coastal defense.

It was from that time that the post of governor of Zhejiang was dismissed, the coastal defense was abolished, and the Japanese invaded the southeast coast.

Almost exactly the same thing happened again.

At that time, a large number of officials from Fujian and Zhejiang in the DPRK and China wrote to impeach Zhu Kun for killing without permission, but this time they were even more ruthless, directly sending a small group of Japanese robbers to attack Longchuan first and then Nanjing, with only one purpose, to drive out Hu Zongxian.

This made Emperor Jiajing have to think carefully, but at the same time, he also had many doubts in his heart.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Emperor Jiajing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, frowned, and Huang Jin, who was stupid next to him, slapped his mouth and quickly replaced it with hot tea.

"Hu Zongxian killed in Zhejiang?" Emperor Jiajing involuntarily lowered his voice.

"The past does not forget the teacher of the future." Qian Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, "Although Hu Ruzhen has a resolute temperament and a strategic belly, she is quite scheming. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, thinking about it, with the lessons of the past, Hu Zongxian would not be so stupid.

"In fact, now that the Japanese invade the southeast coast, plundering property, population, and killing people, so that the trade routes are almost cut off, the southeast family does not regard it as a revenge."

Qian Yuan's head hung lower, "At the beginning of the year, Hu Ruzhen implemented the promotion law in Zhejiang to make up for the lack of military spending. ”

Speaking of silver, Emperor Jiajing has a bit of a headache, logically speaking, the tax system should be unified across the country, but the actual operation is not, each province and even each province has its own abacus, and various tax systems are varied, which is a major feature of the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, or a major drawback.

"There are many official families in Zhejiang, but more of them are wealthy businessmen." Qian Yuan explained carefully: "Most of these merchants are maritime merchants, earning silver to build houses and land, and they are luxurious in their daily lives.

Hu Ruzhen imitated the rat tail book method in Jiangxi during the Zhengde period, and compiled these wealthy merchants separately and imposed heavy taxes. ”

Hu Zongxian is not stupid, he naturally does not dare to do it to those families who have a background and are supported by forces in the court, but there are too many families in the coastal areas of Zhejiang who have made a lot of money because of sea trade over the years, and there are many of them who are famous, but there are even fewer who can be admitted to the Jinshi and even climb the relationship in the DPRK.

Because of the forbidden sea in the southeast, these rich businessmen's incomes have plummeted, and now they have to be cut and bloodied by Hu Zongxian, where are they willing to give up?

They were not able to agitate the imperial history of the DPRK to impeach Hu Zongxian, but they had the courage to belong to the maritime merchants or the Japanese in this era.

Kill your grandmother, do you want to go back to your hometown to keep filial piety?

Fight all the way to the city of Nanjing, I don't believe that the court will not settle accounts with you, although there is a governor of Zhejiang in front, but everyone knows that Yang Yi has long been put there by you Hu Zongxian.

Eleven maritime merchants joined forces to hire 100 Zhenwei from Japan, and this move had only one purpose, to oust Hu Zongxian from the position of governor of Zhejiang.

These wealthy businessmen don't care about the compilation law, and they can tolerate the sharp decline in income caused by the sea ban in a short period of time, but they can't tolerate Hu Zongxian's blunt knife to cut meat, you must know that although they are the first people in the Ming Dynasty to open their eyes to see the world, they have not surpassed this era in essence, and part of the money they earn continues to be invested in sea trade, but most of them buy fertile land locally.

After listening carefully to Qian Yuan's explanation, Emperor Jiajing sneered: "It's really bold. ”

"Your Majesty, these people have been engaged in maritime business for many years, and there are even children who are adrift on the sea, fearless of life and death......"

"How do you know?" Emperor Jiajing suddenly interrupted: "Just guessing? ”

"No, I captured a widow that night, and I asked about it." Qian Yuan lowered his head again, "Later, he was transferred to Nanjing, and died in prison the next night." ”

"That is to say...... Undocumented? ”

"Yes." Qian Yuan raised his head, his eyes were firm, "Your Majesty is a monarch's father, and students don't want to deceive." ”

Emperor Jiajing bowed slightly, "Do you know which maritime merchants they are?" ”

"I don't know." Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know about that wolf, I only know that it's a Ningbo maritime merchant." ”

Don't make trouble, Li Fu died in Nanjing the next day, if this list is handed over, no matter how stupid the gang is, they will know that it was Qian Yuan who leaked it, Qian Yuan is not willing to take this risk, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Hu Zongxian...... Hu Ruzhen ......" Emperor Jiajing muttered a few words in his mouth.

"Your Majesty." Qian Yuan whispered: "The student has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not......

"I don't know if to say it?" Emperor Jiajing sneered: "Can you ask this sentence...... Naturally, I want to say! ”

Qian Yuan laughed dryly, "Students have heard people say this, don't do what the enemy wants you to do, because they want you to do it. ”

Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up, and he repeated it a few times, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

When Emperor Jiajing asked about Cao Bangfu and Hu Zongxian before, Qian Yuan remained silent and even played tricks.

But this sentence exposed the true thoughts in his heart, but it was in a way that Emperor Jiajing could listen to it.

Huang Jin, who was standing on the side, glanced at Qian Yuan, who lowered his head again, in his impression, there are really not many people who can give Emperor Jiajing such influence, Xia Yan back then was counted as one, and Yan Song was counted as one now, but these two were or had served as the first assistant of the cabinet and held great power, while Qian Yuan was just a small person who was not yet twenty years old.

The hall fell silent, Qian Yuan stood there bored and thought in his heart, Napoleon should not have been born yet, he was not plagiarism...... Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
