The old map was spread on the ground, and Emperor Jiajing stood in front of the map and listened to Xu Wei's detailed description, although there was a military report from the military department and a spy by Jinyiwei, but in the southeast war situation, he obviously trusted Qian Yuan, who gave up his position as prime minister and went south.

"No wonder last year's exhibition said that Hu Ruzhen was narrow, and the reward of the wolf soldiers in Tianzhou was not allocated." Emperor Jiajing shook his head, "But where did Zhancai get the silver, it can't be the silver in his own treasury, right?" ”

Xu Wei showed a strange smile on his face, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that before the war last year, Hu Ruzhen showed his talents twice......"

"Oh, ha, Zhan just went to ask for the debt?" Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing, "Then it's no wonder Hu Ruzhen." ”

"A total of 20,000 taels of silver, of which 2,000 taels were delivered to Linhai County, and doctors and nurses were summoned...... This was prepared for soldiers who were wounded in the future battle, and medicinal herbs were also purchased. Xu Wei said in detail: "Among them, 5,000 taels were allocated to the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou, and whether the Governor's Mansion paid back the silver or not, it was necessary to admit it after all." ”

"But Your Majesty also knows that Zhancai and others are ...... Zhong Nan, the leader of the Tianzhou wolf soldiers, led 400 elite wolf soldiers to stay in Taizhou in the name of Xiangyong, and transferred them to the command of Lu Bin, the general of Ningshaotai. ”

"Since the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Japanese invaded everywhere, Jiaxing Yu Dayou, Songjiang Dong Bangzheng have all succeeded, but Shaoxing, Ningbo and Ningbo have gradually become rampant, Zhancai and Hu Ruzhen have concluded that Ning Shaotai must be the main direction of Xu Hai's attack."

Xu Wei said that the jade Ruyi in his hand pointed to the map, but suddenly saw a snow-white mandarin duck lion cat pacing silently on the map.

"Lion, lion." Huang Jin took a few steps to take the lion cat away.

"Next time, let Zhancai bring Xiao Hei, although it is still young, it will definitely be able to slap Xiao Hei away." Emperor Jiajing smiled and asked again: "New armies are still being organized and trained in various places, but how dare Zhancai say that Xu Hai can be pacified this year?" ”

Xu Wei looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "Zhancai, Hu Ruzhen and Wang Zhi join forces." ”

"Huh?"

"Zhancai has a shadow buried next to Xu Hai, and when Xu Hai leads the Japanese into the Kou, the officers and soldiers will fight head-on." Xu Wei paused before continuing: "Let Wang Zhi send troops to cut off Xu Hai's retreat." ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Wei fixedly for a while, and then said: "Hu Ruzhen and Wang Zhi have a private relationship, and you also know." ”

"Informed." Xu Wei replied without hesitation: "Wang Zhi's nephew was sent to Hangzhou as a prisoner by his own hand, and then he was a broker, and Hu Ruzhen sent Jiang Zhou to meet Wang Zhi in the Wa Kingdom. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded, "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Wei hesitated for a while, "Judging from Zhancai's letter, the key is whether Hu Ruzhen's side can prompt Wang Zhi to send troops, and if he can use the opening of the sea and the ban on trade as bait......"

"Hey, hey." Emperor Jiajing sneered twice, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, "Zhancai is not willing to give up on the ban on trade in the sea!" ”

Xu Wei didn't dare to speak, he stood solemnly with his hands down, unlike Qian Yuan, after all, he grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics in this era, and he had a natural awe of imperial power, Emperor Jiajing said with anger, and he immediately closed his mouth.

But in fact, Emperor Jiajing didn't have much anger in his heart, as early as the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan openly showed his position in front of him, and then mentioned it more than once or twice, and even made a fuss in Beijing last year.

Emperor Jiajing beckoned, Huang Jin carefully brought the lion cat, this cat was much more lively than the previous one, running back and forth around Emperor Jiajing on the couch, without stopping for a moment.

"Wen Chang, what do you think?"

Xu Wei licked his dry lips and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Zhancai and Hu Ruzhen are just using the opening of the sea and the prohibition of trade as bait......"

"Huh?"

"At the beginning of last year, in Suiyuan, the minister and Zhancai talked many times about the lack of money in the DPRK and China." Xu Wei immediately changed his angle, "First, the promotion method and a whip method have been implemented one after another, mainly based on silver differences, and even ...... and even an inventory of the country's acres ......"

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing, "Zhancai is so bold!" ”

"The minister also knows, it's too difficult, it's too difficult......" Xu Wei nodded with a wry smile.

It's an extremely bumpy road, not to mention how difficult it will be, but the problem is that it is likely to be unfinished...... Zhang Juzheng also failed to finish.

"The second is to open the sea and prohibit trade, so that you can collect money for the court in a short time." Xu Wei said softly.

In terms of specific affairs, Xu Wei, who has been silent in the lower class for a long time, may be better, but in a certain level of affairs, Emperor Jiajing can see at a glance where Xu Wei can't see.

What is the biggest difference between these two paths?

The former will be opposed by countless opponents, not to mention others, just to check the acres of land, not to mention the royal family and nobles, even the civil system will oppose it, this is cutting meat on them.

As long as the latter can suppress the stubborn opposition of the DPRK and China, it only needs to open an opening to maintain it, and a large number of vested interests will succeed them, at least the officials and gentry in Susong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou will stand on Qian Yuan's side.

Emperor Jiajing remembered that Qian Yuan told him this in front of him last year...... In the past, large households in Zhejiang and Fujian went to sea to smuggle, but now the Japanese are rampant, and their losses are heavier day by day...... Then smuggling to the sea will recur.

In terms of the ease of getting the throne, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no more than Emperor Jiajing, who was just a vassal king, and his cousin Zhu Houzhao played to death, and the throne fell on Emperor Jiajing inexplicably.

This directly led to Emperor Jiajing not having a strong sense of responsibility...... Today's Ming Dynasty is like an old house full of cracks, and the north wind is blowing into it, but Emperor Jiajing only hopes to find some oil paper to block it, as long as the house does not fall, don't make a mistake for your own fun.

This is also the reason why Emperor Jiajing attached so much importance to the southeast to resist the Japanese, and five or six out of ten of the world's wealth came from the southeast.

If he can join forces with Wang Zhi to exterminate Xu Hai and quickly quell the rebellion, this is what Emperor Jiajing is willing to see.

But if you want to open the sea and ban trade...... Whether it will cause greater rebellion is what Emperor Jiajing was worried about.

Emperor Jiajing's appreciation for Qian Yuan came from many aspects, but the most important point was that the court was now full of officials with small calculations, and the young Qian Yuan showed unparalleled loyalty to Emperor Jiajing, no matter what, he was frank and outspoken.

But this time, Qian Yuan's frankness and loyalty did not have the expected effect, not because his strategy was wrong, but because he looked at the problem from a different angle.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Jiajing didn't say anything, waved his hand to rebuke Xu Wei, and his eyes flickered at Xu Wei's back...... He made the choice that best met the standards of an emperor, the courtiers did things, if there was a good result, it was naturally the emperor who used the right person, and if something went wrong, it was naturally the courtiers who took the blame.

Out of the West Garden, Xu Wei found Xian Yan for the first time, pulled him to the corner, and didn't say a word, just kicked it with his feet.

"Brother Wen, what's wrong...... Xian Yan shouted in a low voice of grievance while hiding, "Mr. Qingxia......"

"Shut up!" Xu Wei stopped, his face was pale, and he pointed at Xian Yan's nose, "Who instigated you?" ”

"Egging on what?"

"Write to impeach Yang Shun."

Only then did Xian Yan react, and cautiously asked tentatively, "Something is wrong?" ”

Half an hour later, Xu Wei returned to Suiyuan, called Liu Hong to give a few instructions, and waited for Qian Zheng, who was released from the government...... In terms of the distribution of forces between the DPRK and China, he is far inferior to Qian Zheng.

After that, Tao Dalin, Sun Yan, Wu Dui, Xian Yan and others came to Suiyuan one after another, and soon, Xian Yan was scolded so much that Tao Dalin was even so angry that he did it...... Xian Yan still felt aggrieved, the two people who did it, Xu Wei was Shen Lian's in-law, and Tao Dalin was Shen Lian's fellow villager.

By the time it got dark, Xu Wei had probably figured it out, and he went straight into the backyard of the Qian Family Restaurant through the side gate of Suiyuan.

"Sit." Yan Shifan Nunu mouth pouring himself up.

Xu Wei sat down expressionlessly, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine and drank it all, "On the first day of the first lunar month, Shen Chunfu chanted a poem to mock Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, and this matter has been spread throughout the court before the opening of the government on the fifteenth day of the first month. ”

"But it wasn't until two days ago that it was suddenly rumored that Shen Chunfu was ...... Li Linfu and Qin Hui and other portraits as targets, let people practice shooting every day, and the gossip spread all over the capital in just one day, and almost everyone knew about it. ”

"Xuanfu patrol according to the imperial history of quartz Shao, Jiajing twenty-six years of Jinshi, the selection of Jishi, Jiajing twenty-nine years of disbandment, into the capital of the court for the imperial history." Yan Shifan squinted his eyes and said: "Huating Jiajing was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin in the twenty-eighth year, and he taught Shu Jishi. ”

Xu Wei nodded, both of them were smart people, and the straightforward information docking immediately found Xu Jie's clues from the clues.

Quartz Shao is a student of Xu Jie, and there is a chance to do tricks and feet in the Xuanfu, and the most important thing is that it is not possible for ordinary forces to spread those words all over the capital in just one day.

Yan Dang would not have to spread this kind of humiliating words to Yan Song all over the capital, it could only be done by Xu Jie.

Although there is no evidence, the free will evidence is sufficient.

Xu Wei was extremely disgusted with Yan Shifan, but he had to admit that he was a smart person.

After a slight pause, Xu Wei continued: "Yesterday, there were people in the Six Departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who secretly conspired to impeach Yang Shun, the governor of Xuanda, and among them was Shen Chunfu's poetry and ridicule. ”

"It has been investigated, and this matter first originated in Xu Yangzheng, Liuzhou."

"Xu Yangzheng?" Yan Shifan's brows furrowed, he was very, very familiar with this name.

Before Shen Lian, Yang Jisheng, and Zhao Zhenji, there were officials who were not afraid of death who impeached Yan Song and Yan Shifan father and son, among which the leader was Jiajing's 20-year Jinshi, and Xu Yangzheng was in the matter.

At that time, Xia Yan had just died, Qian Zheng was degraded out of Beijing, and the six members of the household department wrote to Qi Qi in the matter, and did not dare to avenge Xia Yan, but dared to impeach Yan Shifan for "stealing patriarchal power, bribing Zhang Yan, and even the words of the warehouse", and finally in order to deter others, Yan Song borrowed the hand of Emperor Jiajing to punish Xu Yangzheng with sixty court rods, and was demoted to the classic history of Tonghai County, Yunnan.

Seven years later, in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Xu Yangzheng was promoted to Shang Baoqing again and again, but because Yan Shifan was in charge of Shang Baoqing as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Xu Yangzheng "didn't want to be in the same column, please return", and this matter once made Yan Shifan unable to come to power.

Such a character, how can Yan Shifan not be impressed.

Xu Wei continued: "Xu Yangzheng mentioned Shen Chunfu's shooting in a letter to fellow villager Zhang Chong. ”

"It's weird." Yan Shifan sneered: "Liuzhou belongs to Guangxi, how do you know about Baoanzhou?" ”

Xu Wei didn't raise his eyelids, "Zhang Chong, Jiajing thirty-two years of Jinshi, the head of the Criminal Department, Dong Chuance, who is also the head of the Criminal Department, is a native of Huating, and he has a friendship with everyone in Suiyuan. ”

A line hidden under the water was pulled up by Xu Wei, so that the people on the shore could see it clearly.

"Dong Chuance?"

"Dong Chuance, a scholar in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the director of the Criminal Department, is good friends with fellow villager Xu Fan, and today he wrote to impeach Yang Shun's criminal department to Wu Shilai, who was the governor of Songjiang Prefecture." Xu Wei raised his hand to pick up the wine cup, and said with a straight face: "If Shen Chunfu dies, Xu will definitely be furious, and Zhancai will have to ......."

"Understood." Yan Shifan's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Xu Huating really has a turtle and snake statue!" ”

Turtle and snake statue, this is Yu Xujie can not only endure like a turtle, but also wait for an opportunity like a poisonous snake.

If Shen Lian died at the hands of the Yan Party, considering Shen Lian's reputation in Shaoxing Mansion and the weight of Shaoxing scholars in Suiyuan, Qian Yuan would completely break with the Yan Party no matter what.

If Shen Lian did not die at the hands of Yan Dang, but survived because Wu Shilai wrote a letter to impeach Yang Shun, then Qian Yuan would have to owe Xu Jie a favor.

Turtle and snake statue, Yan Shifan's metaphor can be described as three points.

It was precisely when he saw this that Xu Wei handed over the post early in the morning and invited Yan Shifan, who was most disgusted, to talk about it.

Xu Wei raised his glass and drank the wine, got up and left with an expressionless face, for him, the change was big enough.

can be hasty and patient, can clearly judge the other party's intentions, can find the truth from the chaotic clues, and does not even need to look for evidence only by free mind...... For more than a year, Xu Wei's heart has been full of arrogance, but he has faded from the scholarly flavor on his body.

This kind of Xu Wei is what Qian Yuan is looking forward to.
