Outside the Hall of Longevity, Huang Jin looked curiously at the four plates held by the little eunuchs, "This is it?" ”

Some of the plates are black, some are vermilion, and some are cut, and the yellow-orange ones exude an attractive fragrance.

Xu Wei grabbed a skillful peel, stuffed it into his mouth neatly, and praised: "Zhancai's letter said that the yield per mu is twenty stones, and this good thing produces twenty stones per mu...... I can't believe it! ”

Huang Jin glanced at the eunuch who was in charge of the meal prison, who bent down and whispered respectfully, "I've tried it all." ”

Huang Jin shook his head, "Don't present such novelties to Your Majesty's case." ”

That being said, but the fragrance is really tempting, Huang Jin carefully distinguished, the fragrance should be from the one that does not slip away, he hesitantly picked it up, carefully peeled off the skin, tried to bite it, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, it was really delicious!

"Zhancai was too stingy, so he sent a hundred catties to Beijing." Xu Wei said while eating: "The Duke of Tong'an sent twenty catties over, and the rest is here." ”

Hearing this, the eunuch who was in charge of the meal on the side was anxious, "Xu Hanlin, only forty catties were sent!" ”

Xu Wei said to Huang Jin with a dry smile: "Last night, I had a drink in the garden, and those guys grabbed a few catties by themselves...... Ah, meet Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Jiajing, who was resting in the hall, walked out at some point, "This is the sweet potato that Wen Chang said yesterday?" ”

"Yes." Huang Jin smiled: "It's not tasteful." ”

Xu Wei has always licked dogs in front of Emperor Jiajing, but he didn't lick Huang Jin all the time, and pouted: "That's right, it's just that in just a moment, Gonggong Huang has already eaten three pieces." ”

Emperor Jiajing scolded with a smile: "I often go to the Qian family restaurant to order food, still not at ease?" ”

Huang Jin glared at Xu Wei, carefully peeled it, and Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up as soon as he entered his mouth, he likes sweets, and because he is old and has bad teeth, he eats more soft food, and roasted sweet potatoes are obviously pleased.

Xu Wei introduced one by one on the side, "Sweet potatoes can be eaten raw and cooked, roasted, boiled, steamed, and simmered, and can be used to make vegetables on a full stomach, but I don't know if what Zhancai said about 20 stones per mu is true or false." ”

Emperor Jiajing tasted a few bites of each and said with a smile: "If it is less than twenty stones? Make up for Zhancai's 180 pounds! ”

The two of them are chatting? Yan Song came over there, Emperor Jiajing generously rewarded a few pieces, and the old man was full of praise? Compared to Emperor Jiajing? Yan Song, who is almost eighty years old, is more suitable for sweet potatoes that basically do not use teeth.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty has a discerning eye." Yan Song smiled: "Chongde was a great victory back then? His Majesty ordered the officials to be recorded, and the old minister thought that he would be able to use it after a few years of training? Unexpectedly, when he first joined the company, he made meritorious contributions again and again and turned the tide? He also tried every possible way to solve the embarrassment of insufficient use in the DPRK and China. ”

"Both civil and military have made achievements, and they can do things solidly, not avoid ridicule, what the old minister has seen in his life, ...... of what he has seen in his life" Speaking of this, Yan Song paused and said with a wry smile: "I haven't seen the old minister in his life." ”

Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "But Zhong is too famous? Zhancai just has some luck. ”

Obviously, to the protégé of the Son of Heaven who was hand-picked by himself? Emperor Jiajing couldn't be more satisfied...... It is said that Jinshi is a protégé of the Son of Heaven? But Qian Yuan was the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who came to see him and called himself a "student".

And because of this? Emperor Jiajing always had a special feeling for it...... Modern people? is a self-made businessman, if you want to find opportunities in the vast business sea, then you must have something eye-catching, or looks? Or a name, or a preference.

Of course, because of this, the Qingliu of the DPRK and China had mixed feelings about Qian Yuan, some admired Qian Yuan for abandoning his future and went south to fight against the Japanese, and some despised Qian Yuan for being fortunate to be favored by His Majesty.

Emperor Jiajing and the first assistant of the cabinet spoke, Xu Wei naturally couldn't interject, but he muttered in his heart, according to Yan Song's statement, Qian Yuan is quite like a combination of Yan Song and Xia Yan.

not only has Xia Yan's sharp words and dares to be the first in the world, but also Xia Yan's ability to do things, and Yan Song's cunning and resourcefulness, and he is bent on flattering.

Although the north side is really disturbing, there is continuous good news in the south, Jiajing Emperor Jin Tian is in a good mood, and Yan Song, Xu Wei, and Huang Jin are in the garden.

In late February, Qi Jiguang led his army south into Fujian, stationed in Fuzhou Prefecture, the coastal province where the Japanese were most seriously afflicted, and attacked everywhere, defeating the Japanese invaders one after another, and the Qi family army was already famous all over the world.

At the end of June, Qi Jiguang faced the main force of 4,000 Japanese invaders led by Ye Zongman in Funing Prefecture, and Ye Zongman attracted hundreds of real Japanese invaders, with extraordinary combat power, and broke through the three towns of Funing Prefecture in a row.

After an hour of hard fighting, in front of the mandarin duck array, bird guns and tiger squatting artillery, the Japanese were finally defeated and scattered, Qi Jiguang led the army to beat the drum in pursuit, beheading more than a thousand.

But Emperor Jiajing's good mood soon disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by endless anger and irritability.

Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet, Lu Ben, the group assistant, and the left attendant of the military department, Jiang Dong, who was acting of the military department, met with him, and brought a news that made Emperor Jiajing lose face.

This is also news that shakes the world.

Since the 37th year of Jiajing, there have been many troubles in Fujian, and many bandits have plundered in Fujian under the guise of robbers, and have been active in western Fujian, southeastern Jiangxi, and northern Guangdong.

On 11 July of the 37th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian, a bandit from Chaozhou, Guangdong, gathered tens of thousands of troops in northern Guangdong with the "White Fan Society" to raise an army, taking advantage of the good opportunity of the confrontation between Fujian officers and soldiers and the Japanese along the coast, and invaded Fujian in a big way.

In just a few days, the thief army broke through the two counties and five towns of Tingzhou Prefecture, and Zhang Lian made a bloody alliance with Xiao Wan, Zhang Gongyou, and Li Dongjin, the leaders of the bandits who had risen, and was embraced as the commander, claiming to have more than 100,000 people under his command.

On July 16, the 37th year of Jiajing, the thief army divided its troops and invaded Yanping Mansion and Shaowu Mansion successively, and many cities fell into the hands of thieves.

Fujian general Qi Jiguang was stationed in Fuzhou Mansion and had no time to separate, and Wu Baipeng, the governor of Fujian, led 3,000 officers and soldiers to Yanping Mansion, and defeated thousands of thieves in a battle, but the thieves forced Wu Baipeng to retreat with reinforcements.

On July 20, the 37th year of Jiajing, that is, the tenth day of the uprising, Zhang Lian led his army to capture Shaowu County, the capital of Shaowu Prefecture.

The next day, Zhang Lian divided his troops into several roads, plundered Jianning Mansion, Shaowu Mansion, Tingzhou Mansion, half of Fujian Province was in turmoil, and Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng confronted the thief army in Yanping Mansion for several days, and could not advance an inch.

On July 22, the 37th year of Jiajing, Zhang Lian founded the country in Shaowu County, proclaimed himself "Flying Dragon Emperor", the country name "Flying Dragon", opened the official department, and named Xiao Wan and others under his command as kings.

At this time, the local officials finally couldn't hide it anymore and could only urgently send the army to Beijing.

Rebellion is a common thing, any emperor can touch it, unlucky as Emperor Jiajing's cousin Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, was beaten to Shuntian Mansion by Liu Liu and Liu Qi.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, although small-scale and large-scale rebellions have often continued, in addition to Liu Liu and Liu Qi, there are also the Miao rebellion in the orthodox and Tianshun years, the White Lotus rebellion led by Tang Sai'er in the Yongle period, and the White Lotus rebellion in Huzhou Mazushi last year.

But no rebel has ever dared to build a country and claim the emperor, this is a naked left slap, and the right slap is slapped in the face of Emperor Jiajing, amazing, Zhu Houzhao didn't do it like a loser, you Emperor Jiajing actually did it!

To put it mildly, in terms of the weight in Emperor Jiajing's heart, Fujian's woes are all trivial, and the only thing that can be compared with the "Flying Dragon Emperor" may be the "Gengxu Rebellion" in the 29th year of Jiajing.

It's no wonder that Emperor Jiajing was furious and sprayed a heavy minister's face, but this time the black pot was ...... Except for Emperor Jiajing, others can't afford to carry it if they want to.

Emperor Jiajing gritted his teeth and did not give an order to sweep the civil and military officials from Fujian Governor Wu Baipeng, the chief soldier Qi Jiguang and the following civil and military officials to the end.
