In June, even the northern capital was scorching hot, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty could not go to the summer resort without the braided emperors of later generations.

The emperor of the great unification dynasty, most of the life spent in the palace, leaving the capital to go shopping very little, Jiajing Emperor since Zhengde entered the capital in the fifteenth year, only in the first ten years of Beijing to return to the hometown, after that, he has been in the capital, just moved from the palace to Xiyuan.

The apse of Wanshou Palace is very empty, but there is no ventilation before and after, even if the eunuchs bring ice cubes, it is difficult to relieve the heat, although Huang Jin around him keeps shaking the fan, Emperor Jiajing is also irritable, and he takes the soup bowl on the table and drinks it all.

"When it comes to writing green words, you still have to Yan Donglou and Xu Wenchang......" Emperor Jiajing sighed as he looked at the green words on the table.

Yan Shifan ghostwrote Qingci for his father Yan Song more than ten years ago and spread all over the capital, how could Emperor Jiajing not know.

Although Li Chunfang, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei and other Hanlin were successively recruited into the West Garden, Emperor Jiajing still liked the green words written by Yan Shifan the most, and the green words presented by Dong Fen last year were actually written by Yan Shifan.

However, since Xu Wei entered Xiyuan, not to mention Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others, even Yan Shifan has gradually lost power in this regard.

So much so that Yan Shifan had to write a letter to Qian Yuan in the southeast, and finally reached an agreement to suppress Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others, but Xu Wei wanted to set aside part of the share for Yan Shifan.

Emperor Jiajing didn't care about these kittens played by the courtiers, and turned his head and asked, "Wen Chang is straight today?" ”

"Yes, a summons has been sent." Huang Jin cautiously did not say a word.

Yesterday, the official of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the DPRK wrote a letter to impeach and appease Wang Zhi, but now neither the Central Committee of the DPRK nor the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China has publicly commented on this matter...... At least on the surface, the southeast has also become a battlefield for the struggle between Fenyi and Huating.

Hu Zongxian climbed to the Yan Party to gain power, Qian Yuan was Xu Jie's eldest grandson-in-law, and the two were anti-Japanese giants in the southeast, and they cooperated seamlessly, so that they achieved a great victory in Shangyu.

Therefore, before Yan Song and Xu Jie did not express their position, although the news that the southeast wanted to appease Wang Zhi had reached Beijing, few people talked about it.

And this reckless Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate...... The governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang, and the governor of Zhejiang were all sued, although the compromise was basically all speculation, but it had already caused an undercurrent in the court.

Emperor Jiajing doesn't care about this, it's Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan's business to do well and badly...... Although I admired Qian Yuan very much, I had to throw it out.

But what Emperor Jiajing is concerned about is that if he can successfully appease Wang Zhi, when will Zhejiang and Susong be able to transfer wealth to the center...... The head of the household department Shangshu Fang was blunt yesterday and bluntly said that he could no longer send out the Beijing official Yulu.

And this information cannot be seen from the military report of the Ministry of War, and it is difficult to see it from the secret report of Jinyiwei, but Emperor Jiajing believes that he can take a closer look from Qian Yuan's secret letter.

After waiting for a while, the little eunuch led Xu Wei into the hall.

"Meet Your Majesty." Xu Wei's face was red, obviously exposed to the scorching afternoon sun.

"Get up." Emperor Jiajing pointed to the round stool opposite, "Huang Companion." ”

Huang Jin brought a soup bowl over, "Where have you gone, Wen Chang, let's rest first." ”

"Smoothies." Xu Wei smiled: "This is a mung bean smoothie, and the restaurant is in short supply." ”

"A lot of money is also earned!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes were a little red, and the mung bean soup boiled was chilled in a deep well for an hour, and then ice chips ground into small particles were added.

Once this good thing was launched, it was naturally in short supply, and it is said that the price increased three times in a row, but it was still not enough to sell.

"Did you dig deep ice last year? Huang Jin asked curiously.

"Of course not." Xu Wei drank it in two or three sips, "Zhan has a secret method of making ice, and I mentioned it in the cold winter of the year before last." ”

If Qian Yuan knew this, he would be ashamed to death, and if Xiao Qi knew, he would die of laughter...... Qian Yuan had mentioned the method of making ice with nitrate the year before last, but he hadn't tossed it out until now, and Xu Wei had studied it.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the little eunuch on the side, "Where did this come from?" ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, "Zhilu." ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned, and among the Hanlin who wrote the green words in Zhixiyuan, only Xu Wei would go to the cabinet office Zhilu, which was tacitly approved by Emperor Jiajing, because in the southeast war situation, Qian Yuan's secret letter and Xu Wei's explanation carried a lot of weight in Emperor Jiajing's heart.

"Only then did Zhan have a letter?" Emperor Jiajing immediately asked this, Xu Wei would not run to Zhilu inexplicably, and there was no military report from the military department, it could only be that Qian Yuan sent the news by secret letter.

"Yes, yesterday the guards sent a letter to Beijing." Xu Wei showed a bitter smile, "The minister is going to help people run for office." ”

"Running official?" Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said disdainfully: "Zhancai wants to go back to Beijing?" ”

"What big can you do if you don't have a long life like this!"

"The southeast has not yet been pacified, what are you going to do when you come back?"

"Originally, I wanted to reward him as a bachelor, but it's really unbearable!"

In fact, Emperor Jiajing hoped that Qian Yuan would toss in the southeast, at least this courtier's toss was to make the situation move in the direction he wanted...... At least, in terms of the option of appeasing Wang Zhi or going to war, Emperor Jiajing actually agreed with Qian Yuan's choice to appease Wang Zhi.

It's just that Emperor Jiajing will not openly admit it...... In case Wang Zhi rebels in the future, will this black cauldron be carried by Emperor Jiajing?

Of course, it was Qian Yuan who carried it.

After Emperor Jiajing's series of words were scolded, Xu Wei touched his cheek, blinked and said softly: "It's for Zhancai, but it's not him." ”

Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened, don't you know how to finish the words at one time? Don't know how to get ahead and make it clear? Now it's embarrassing, isn't it!

At this time, Huang Jin could only stand up, "Who is Zhancai running for?" ”

"Taizhou Tongzhi Tang Jingchuan, Shaoxing Prefecture Zhenhai County Ling Song Jizu." Xu Wei glanced at Emperor Jiajing's face and whispered: "Zhancai's letter clearly stated that the matter of appeasement has been decided, and the next thing is ......."

"Open the sea and ban trade." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "This guy just wants to open the sea and ban trade, how can this matter be so easy!" ”

"Zhancai is also for the sake of national wealth." Xu Wei paused and added, "Of course, it's not without selfishness. ”

"And selfishness?" Huang Jin asked curiously.

Xu Wei spread his hands, "The chili pepper was brought to Hangzhou by the sea, and Zhancai had no intention of buying it, so it was ......."

"Just a foodie!" Emperor Jiajing scolded.

"It's a big deal in life." Xu Wei smiled and said: "Zhancai also boasted that there is a crop overseas that is drought-tolerant and easy to live, and can replace five grains, which is several times more than the yield per mu of rice. ”

Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "I don't know what to call ...... Tell him that if that happens, I'll give him a knighthood!" ”

"If there is such a thing, and the people can live, reply to the letter to the minister and say clearly, Xu Wenchang is willing to kowtow to him." Xu Wei obviously didn't believe it either.

Huang Jin looked at Emperor Jiajing's expression before asking, "Wen Chang, what's the matter with Zhancai running to the office?" ”

"Huang Ban, haven't you heard it yet?" Emperor Jiajing leaned on the side of the couch, "Naturally, it is to open the sea and ban trade." ”

"I don't dare to say that the sea is open, it's just trade, even if it's trade, it can be done but not said." Xu Wei smiled bitterly and took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and spread the folded map on the gold bricks.

"Zhancai is selected in Hou Taoshan, Zhenhai County, Ningbo Prefecture." Xu Wei skillfully took the Ruyi handed by Huang Jin, and pointed on the map, "This place is the throat of the Yongjiang River, the main road for merchant ships to enter and exit, and the battleground for this soldier." ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, "Where soldiers must fight?" ”

"That's why Zhancai chose to build a city on the top of Hou Tao's mountain and garrison it with elite soldiers." Xu Wei explained: "This city and Zhenhai County are dependent on each other, and it is difficult to crack the attack of the Japanese invaders. ”

Emperor Jiajing thought about it in his heart, and then nodded slightly, "He is thoughtful." ”

"If you do this, if you step on the rope, where can you not be cautious." Xu Wei said in a low voice: "Zhancai's letter mentioned that if there is no obstacle, there will be a fleet going to sea in the next two days. ”

Emperor Jiajing was silent, and Huang Jin suddenly interjected and asked, "Have you paid your taxes?" ”

"Poof." Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing, "Look, the first trouble is coming, Huang Ban is coming to grab the silver." ”

"It's not for the sake of the emperor......"

"Paying Taxes and Silver...... I don't have a name now. Xu Wei smiled: "Besides, this is not Zhancai's first trouble. ”

"Oh?"

"The first trouble is that Hou Taoshan has to build a city, build a wharf, a warehouse, and level the road...... Zhancai is a patrol according to the imperial history, where is the silver? ”

"That ......"

"In the words of Zhancai's letter, this is called the white wolf with empty gloves."

Xu Wei explained slightly, and said to the helpless Huang Jin: "Huang Gonggong, I'm afraid that the tax and silver will be no longer a play for a while, but it is a little ...... The prefect of Shaoxing collected it on his behalf. ”

Huang Jin hadn't thought about it so much, and Emperor Jiajing had already sneered: "The two people who ran for the official position ...... Who was promoted to the prefect of Shaoxing? ”

The Shaoxing prefect collects on behalf of the government, which is a signal that the civil official system intends to replace the eunuchs and officially take over the maritime trade tariffs.
