The hall was silent, and Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Wei coldly.

Since the first meeting, Qian Yuan has shown similar signs in front of Emperor Jiajing, and then he has tried to open the sea to ban trade several times, and when he returned to Beijing last year, he once caused a lot of turmoil in the court, all of which Emperor Jiajing knew well.

Xu Wei licked his lips and continued with courage: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the minister was born in the southeast, and he knows the inside story, Wang Zhi was powerless to control back then, Xu Hai, Ye Bichuan and other Kou leaders invaded Jiaxing, so that Wang Min should capture Ligang, but after that, Wang Zhi never Koubian.

If there is a war with Wang Zhi, it means that the imperial court will refuse to open the sea and ban trade, and Wang Zhi will not be able to control it, and a large number of maritime merchants will be reduced to Japanese robbers, and the war in the southeast will ...... Ten years without stopping. ”

"Ten years without stopping?" Emperor Jiajing snorted.

Qian Yuan mentioned in the secret letter that this was the sentence that moved Emperor Jiajing the most.

The war in the southeast has been going on for five years, and a lot of food and wages have been consumed, and Hu Zongxian has raised several provinces to withhold salt taxes...... So that the money in the DPRK and China is very lacking, the empty rats in the household warehouse have to beg for food, and the inner carrier warehouse is also a little unbearable, and Emperor Jiajing wants to take silver from Taicang with a piece of paper...... The Hubu Shangshu is blunt and doesn't stop it, anyway, there is no silver in the Taicang Silver Treasury.

In this case, Emperor Jiajing wanted to quell the southeast rebellion as quickly as possible, so that Zhejiang, Fujian, Susong and other places of the Ming Dynasty could continue to transfuse blood to the imperial court.

Therefore, appeasing Wang Zhi and quelling the rebellion is the quickest way.

If you start a war with Wang Zhi, if you win quickly, it is fine, if it is protracted, this is unbearable for Emperor Jiajing.

"This killer!" Emperor Jiajing irritably threw away the tea cup in his hand, turned over and walked back and forth, "I think he is a little loyal, reward a good man, don't stay in Hanlin Courtyard, you have to go to the southeast!" ”

Other things may be a little confusing, but Huang Jin can best understand Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, and he is also sighing slightly, opening the sea and banning trade...... It's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do, and the Manchu Dynasty Daoist will excitedly drown Qian Yuan with a spittle star.

Qian Yuan could have been in the Hanlin Academy, Jian will be able to stay in the museum after three years in the emperor's heart, and he may be able to enter the Zhan Mansion without King Yu ascending the throne, and when the new monarch ascends the throne, he will be promoted to the sixth department, and at the age of thirty, he can peep into the position of the waiter.

If you don't go to the road to heaven, you have to take the sheep's intestine path, and it is a thorny path.

Xu Wei didn't expect that Emperor Jiajing's eyes were like torches, and he noticed the real reason for the gap between Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian from just a few words, which was related to Qian Yuan's several statements about the benefits of sea trade in front of Emperor Jiajing.

But Xu Wei's more than a year of dog licking career has not been in vain!

"Worry about you." Xu Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened his upper body and looked awe-inspiring, "Zhan Cai said last year, although he died nine times, he still has no regrets." ”

Emperor Jiajing's footsteps stopped, and he scolded: "Although he died nine times, he still has no regrets...... It's nice to say, and it's a fart! ”

"If you appease Wang Zhi, open the sea and ban trade...... Once the Japanese rise again and the Manchu Dynasty is impeached, even I can't protect him! ”

This is certain, if the sea is opened to ban trade, and the Japanese still invade the coastal areas on a large scale, Qian Yuan will inevitably be pointed out by Qianfu, and if Wang Zhi becomes a Japanese bandit, Qian Yuan will ...... It is light to dismiss officials and return to their hometowns.

Among the obstacles, Xu Wei naturally thought clearly, he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Zhancai is resolute...... Commerce, Kou turned into business, forbidden sea, business turned into Kou. ”

"Since the thirty-second year of Jiajing, Zhan Cai has fought against the Japanese Invaders no less than ten times, and the guards around him have also suffered heavy casualties, and every time they sacrifice a hundred times the heads of the Japanese Invaders, if they are not helpless, where will they want to do the strategy of appeasement?"

Well, in fact, Qian Yuan wants to open the lock of the sea ban through Wang Zhi and communicate with the West, and he doesn't think that Wang Zhi is a serious widow.

"In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Huayin Dilong turned over, countless dead and wounded, the victims wailed, there was no silver relief in the household, and Zhancai and his uncle hugged their heads and cried in the house."

This is a bit nonsense, Qian Yuan rushed out of the Wanshou Palace with Emperor Jiajing in his arms that day, got a lot of color, and went back at night and rubbed a few laps!

Still hugging your head and crying?

Crying big-headed ghost!

But Emperor Jiajing's face softened, and he remembered the scene when Qian Yuan hugged him that day...... It was from that time on, in his mind, the image of this young scholar gradually coincided with Lu Bing, and Lu Bing did the same thing.

After all, there is nothing more important than saving the driver.

"In February this year, one of the three major halls was burned, and the household department could not continue, and the rebuilding was far away, and the exhibition was far away in the south......east."

"That's it!" Emperor Jiajing shouted, "I went to the middle of the year, and I have been in the official career for less than two years, but the seventh grade patrol is according to the imperial history...... I don't know, I think he's the head of the cabinet! ”

Being humble and worrying about big things, this is the nature of the scholar, Xu Wei immediately thought of his brother-in-law, Shen Lian Shen Qingxia.

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the Gengxu Rebellion, I answered and coerced Kyoto, the ministers tied their hands, and the Jinyiwei experienced Shen Lian impassionedly, and the main battle did not pay tribute, and he said loudly: "The minister does not speak, so the little official says it." ”

Just as Xu Wei was about to speak, Huang Jin, who was beside Emperor Jiajing, quietly raised his head, glanced over, and shook his head slightly.

Stuffing Xu Wei into Xiyuan, or stuffing Xu Wei into Emperor Jiajing's side, Qian Yuan naturally made some preparations secretly...... After all, Xu Wei's temperament and mouth are too easy to offend people, and sometimes he can't wait to sew up his mouth with a needle.

Xu Wei is favored with green words, and he is not involved in the dispute between Fenyi and Huating, so in Xiyuan, Qian Yuan only focuses on Huang Jin.

Huang Jin is not only in a high position, but also the eunuch who is in charge of the East Factory, and is the only person among the eunuchs who can exert influence on Emperor Jiajing.

At the critical moment, Huang Jin's eyes made Xu Wei stop talking.

Before Xu Wei could figure it out, Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and continued: "Recruit Wang Zhi, and the southeast will be chaotic and rest?" ”

"The big group of pirates is cut off, and the small group of pirates may still be able to make trouble." Xu Wei said honestly: "However, the Japanese rebellion along the coast of Zhejiang and Susong can basically be pacified, and the messenger sent by Zhancai will deliver a message, maybe a small group of Japanese robbers will invade Fujian and Guangdong." ”

Emperor Jiajing paced back and forth, his eyes flickering.

Is it possible for Hu Zongxian to succeed in the first war?

Will appeasement Wang Zhi leave trouble?

If trade is banned from the sea, the DPRK and China will inevitably be in chaos, and the household department may vigorously approve of it, but the official of the Daoist government will inevitably be impeached, and the eunuchs will inevitably compete with the foreign courts...... Thinking about these things, Emperor Jiajing had a little headache.

As an emperor, at such a time, he would never think about Qian Yuan himself, but only about the direction of the court......

Huang Jin looked at Emperor Jiajing's face, turned his head with a smile and asked, "Wen Chang, Zhancai was not injured in this battle, right?" It's scary to listen to, and I have personally participated in battle several times...... Uh, the emperor, the old slave wants to ask Xiao Hei......"

"Didn't they all give birth to a litter?" Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Wei got up and said: "The casualties of the Qian family's guards in this battle are about thirty percent, but Zhancai himself was not injured. ”

"The Qian family's guards are really elite, if so?" Huang Jin asked curiously: "It seems that every time Zhancai fights, he takes the guards as the vanguard. ”

"The southeast consensus, the Qian family guards the elite armor in the southeast." Xu Wei said so proudly, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, there are only about 100 guards in the Qian family, and it is only after Zhancai is transferred to Zhejiang that he can match the armor. ”

The corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Go out, summon the cabinet and the military department." ”

Xu Wei quit at a loss, there was nothing in his heart, there was no explicit hint, he just threw himself out, what does this mean?

Liang Wen and Zhou Ji sent not only two letters to Beijing, but also brought a message from Qian Yuan, the first of which was to appease Wang Zhi, and the second was to open the sea and ban trade.

There is no need for fanfare, but Xu Wei needs to cross the clear road in front of Emperor Jiajing and probe the wind...... This is also a major purpose of Qian Yuan to stuff Xu Wei to Emperor Jiajing's side.

Although he is extremely smart and has a high level of understanding, Xu Wei has only been in the company for less than two years after all, and this mystery was solved until the evening, when he met Qian Rui.

Qian Rui has been in the sea for a long time, he has sat on a cold bench in the Hanlin Academy, he has been in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the Six Departments, and even served as a magistrate, so he is no stranger to these doorways.

But Qian Yuan's mood was terrible.

"It refers to the opening of the sea and the prohibition of trade."

"Not acquiescence."

"If you can't afford it, the court and the middle will benefit, and everyone will be happy."

Xu Wei finally understood, "If the Japanese invaders rekindle, then the exhibition will ......"

Qian Rui didn't say anything more, for Wang Zhi, Emperor Jiajing might agree with Qian Yuan's judgment, but for the ban on trade in the sea, if it is not smooth, and things are repeated, Qian Yuan will be thrown out mercilessly.

The two of them were speechless in the stuffy study for a long time, and the biggest reason why Qian Yuan was able to meet between Yan Song and Xu Jie was that he was in the emperor's heart.

If Qian Yuan was impeached for trade and Emperor Jiajing ignored it...... Xu Wei could imagine the terrible consequences, Yan Song might not be the case, but Xu Jie...... Even King Yu and Gao Gong are afraid that they will hide far away.
