Chapter 225: Face Saint (4)
A tasteless imperial meal, Emperor Jiajing was very interested, but Qian Yuan was really not full, and ate cold dishes in winter...... Who can stand it!
Emperor Jiajing began to ask Qian Yuan with great interest...... The experience of Linpingshan and Taiping Mansion being drugged twice is really not a good thing.
Taiping Mansion is just that, Linping Mountain is obviously Hu Zongxian's pot, Qian Yuan just suggested replacing the poison with laxatives, but now although Qian Yuan is very sure that he is in the emperor's heart, and he is very sure that he has left a positive impression on Emperor Jiajing this time, but he can't take the initiative to mention Hu Zongxian, you must know that Jiajing is the second most suspicious person in the Ming Dynasty emperor after Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.
But soon, Qian Yuan had this opportunity.
"Yesterday, the court recommended the governor of Zhejiang, Zhao Wenhua recommended Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian, recommended the ministry of officials." Emperor Jiajing asked casually: "Who do you think can do it?" ”
Qian Yuan's mouth opened wide in amazement, and only after half a sound did he squeeze out a bitter face, "Your Majesty ......"
Huang Jin on the side couldn't help laughing, anyone could hear the strong grievances from this sentence, he looked at Emperor Jiajing with a straight face, and said with a smile: "The emperor is teasing you." ”
Qian Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "This kind of thing is naturally Your Majesty's arbitrary decision. ”
"Yes, I can only make my own decisions." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Once something is bad, it will naturally be me who will carry this black cauldron." ”
Qian Yuan closed his mouth and said nothing.
Although this kid is loyal and commendable, he is also a slippery one, Emperor Jiajing thought for a while and asked, "I heard that you have dealings with Hu Zongxian and Cao Bangfu?" ”
Qian Yuan hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the student has already offended someone, so he can't ...... You can't ......."
After a long time, he glanced at Emperor Jiajing's face, Qian Yuan's eyes were closed, and he looked willful and resigned to fate, "I've offended Huating, I can't mess with people anymore, it's okay if I don't hit next year, if I get lucky, the ghost knows where he will be assigned......"
Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but smile and stretched out his finger to point at Qian Yuan, "You slippery head!" ”
Huang Jin, who watched this scene, was amazed, he had served the emperor for more than 40 years, and he had never seen such a situation, Emperor Jiajing was young and old, thoughtful, and rarely friendly with others, and only Lu Bing was treated like this.
Well, in terms of interpersonal communication, Yang Wen has commented on Qian Yuan.
From high-ranking officials to Qianshou, Qian Yuan has made friends with everything, Shilin and the army are very well-connected, and he can be caught by wolf soldiers and can show grace with his backhand, and he can integrate into it when he is captured by the Japanese invaders...... Even if you go to Huangquan in the future, it is estimated that you will still be able to hook up with Lord Yama!
"Your Majesty, do you want the student to change the subject?" Qian Yuan asked tentatively: "The ...... of the Japanese It's actually a bit weird. ”
"Weird?" Emperor Jiajing frowned, "Tell me." ”
Qian Yuan sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Since the establishment of the governor of Zhejiang last year, heavy troops have been stationed on the southeast coast, and there are wolf soldiers from Tianzhou.
However, this group of Japanese invaders skillfully bypassed the southeast defense line, chiseled through the side to find a breakthrough, and went straight to Nanjing, and its behavior was quite strange. ”
Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed more and more, "It's careful." ”
Qian Yuan dotted his spirit and explained in detail, "Because there are heavy troops stationed in the southeast, there are two roads from the coast to Nanjing, one is to land from Songjiang, go west along the Wusong River, or go west directly along the Yangtze River."
But this road to pass through Songjiang, Suzhou, Tongzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, these places are stationed heavy troops, Ying Tian Governor Cao Bangfu, Wu Song general Yu Dayou, Wu Song deputy chief soldier Dong Bangzheng, Su Song soldier Beidao Wang Chonggu are all famous generals, the Japanese want to break the formation straight to Nanjing, it is very difficult. ”
After a pause, Qian Yuan took a breath and continued: "Another road landed from Jiaxing Mansion, attacked Hangzhou Mansion, along the Qiantang River, Fuchun River, and Xin'an River to Huizhou Mansion, and then went all the way north. ”
Emperor Jiajing's face became gloomy, and he burst out from between his teeth: "In other words, this group of Japanese robbers is heading for Nanjing at all." ”
Qian Yuan did not answer directly, but said: "This group of widows is no more than a hundred people, slippery and strategic, fierce and good at fighting, going through seven mansions, fighting thousands of miles, knowing the terrain, it is by no means a wolf rushing to the pig, not killing people, not plundering money, not raping women, its ambition is unpredictable." ”
Emperor Jiajing got up and paced back and forth, his steps getting faster and faster, and suddenly stopped in front of Qian Yuan, "What else, I said it together." ”
"If the Japanese invade the southern capital, or even invade the city of Nanjing, there will be a great earthquake in the world, and the officials in the southeast will inevitably be held accountable, led by Yang Yi, the former governor of Zhejiang, and Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang." Qian Yuan didn't take out the final result directly, but only guided Emperor Jiajing's train of thought little by little.
Yang Yi ...... Hu Zongxian ...... "Emperor Jiajing snorted.
"The students were coerced by the Japanese from the Huizhou Mansion, and they witnessed with their own eyes that the Japanese walked quickly, and when they encountered the officers and soldiers and the villagers, they broke through the formation and killed.
Qian Yuan gushed endlessly: "Jingde, Jingxian and other cities were broken, most of them because the army had no fighting spirit and did not defend the city, unless the officers and soldiers and the townsmen bravely intercepted it, the Japanese would not take the initiative to attack, and the Cheng Chen of Nanling County would intercept it at the places where Nanling and Wuhu must pass, and the Japanese would take the initiative to rush into battle." ”
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand to interrupt Qian Yuan, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
"Your Majesty, there are actually two goals for this group of pirates." Qian Yuan said the first answer, "First, Nanjing, and second, Longchuan." ”
"Longchuan?" Emperor Jiajing asked blankly, "Where is this?" ”
"Longchuan Village, Jixi County, Huizhou Prefecture, Hu Zongxian Township." Qian Yuan explained softly: "The Japanese invaders bypassed Jixi County, stormed Longchuan Village, and did not retreat even when they were frustrated, and it was here that the wolf soldiers and guards rushed to ......."
Emperor Jiajing nodded: "I remember, the officers and soldiers won first and then lost, and the Japanese invaders were defeated first and then won." ”
"Yes, the wolf soldiers raided, and the wolf soldiers were defeated, but they set up an ambush in the field at the turn...... Qian Yuan sighed: "In that battle, the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou killed a hundred people, and the wolf soldiers calmly escaped. ”
Emperor Jiajing walked back and forth a few steps, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Why did the Japanese invade Longchuan?" ”
There was a hint of cold light in Qian Yuan's eyes, "Hu Ruzhen, his father and mother have passed away, but his grandmother is still alive. ”
This time, not only Emperor Jiajing, but even Huang Jin on the side also understood.
Once Hu Zongxian's grandmother passed away, he must return to his hometown to guard filial piety, otherwise the world will spit on Xingzi and drown him.
Although there is a saying in the army about seizing love, it is actually difficult to be allowed, and later Tan Lun also encountered a similar thing, his parents died of illness, and Jiajing regained his love, but Shilin had many derogatory words, and Tan Lun, who was forced to be promoted to the governor of Fujian, had to abandon his post and return to his hometown.
Emperor Jiajing also figured out with his ass that once Longchuan was broken, Hu Zongxian tried to win the favor, and the impeachment of the DPRK and China could bury Hu Zongxian.
"In other words, the Japanese invaded Longchuan and tried to attack Nanjing, and the target was Hu Zongxian?"
Faced with Emperor Jiajing's words that seemed to be a question, but were actually confirmed, Qian Yuan was silent.
