The apse of the Longevity Palace.

Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged on the futon and meditated quietly, for this "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Shengling Palm Yin Yang Gong Dao Siren Ziji Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuan Xuan Xuan Ying Enlightenment Fu Demon Loyal and Filial Emperor Jun", nothing was more important than his cultivation.

But cultivation takes time, so he favors Yan Song, who never asks for him trouble.

However, cultivating the Tao requires a large amount of money, so he is extremely indignant at the Jiangnan rebellion.

The apse looks like nothing extravagant, but in fact...... The futons under Emperor Jiajing's buttocks are all outlined with gold and silver threads.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing's anger this time mainly lies in his swollen face.

Think about it, in the future, I ascended to heaven to see the ancestors and ancestors, many years ago Beijing was besieged or the pot of Ming Chengzu, who asked him to move the capital to Beijing, but Nanjing ...... Presumably, Ming Taizu, who was buried in Xiaoling, would kick it over.

Opening his eyes slightly, Emperor Jiajing asked softly, "Coming?" ”

"I've been waiting outside for more than half an hour."

A moment later, Lu Bing walked into the apse with graceful and distinctive steps, holding a book in both hands.

"Your Majesty, Minister Lu Bing......"

"Get up and talk."

Lu Bing stood up and said respectfully: "This group of Japanese invaders first attacked Beixinguan in Hangzhou, then attacked Yanzhou Mansion, went west to Huizhou Mansion, then went north to Ningguo Mansion, crossed the Yangtze River into Taiping Mansion, and was completely wiped out in the village more than ten miles away from Machang Town, only one alive remained, and died in Nanjing five days later. ”

"The Japanese invaders traveled 1,400 miles, crossed six prefectures, successively defeated more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and killed more than 5,000 people, killed more than 10 officials in various places, killed three Zhishi officials, lost five cities, and burned dozens of villages and towns."

Emperor Jiajing's anger rose again, but after taking two breaths, he tried to suppress it, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth, "The Japanese are rampant, can the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang and the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang pursue?" ”

"Yes." Lu Bing nodded and said, "The governor yamen sent seven hundred soldiers, including three hundred wolf soldiers, to follow and pursue. ”

"In the battle in Jixi County, the Japanese were defeated by the enemy, but after the defeat and retreat, an ambush was set up, and the officers and soldiers were defeated."

The anger in Emperor Jiajing's heart receded slightly, it seems that Hu Zongxian is at least not the kind of Zhang Jing who doesn't do anything, "What about the back?" ”

"After that, the officers and soldiers gathered the remnants of the soldiers, summoned the township braves, and led by Zhong Nan, the leader of the wolf soldiers, and Qian Zheng, the general sentence of the Huizhou Mansion, pursued all the way, and defeated the Japanese outside Nanling County."

"Caojiang Admiral Shi Baoshan Taiping Mansion was defeated, and it was also Zhong Nan, the leader of the wolf soldiers, who led his troops to arrive and forced the Japanese to retreat."

"That night, the wolf soldiers attacked at night and wiped out all the widows, but the details are not very clear."

Emperor Jiajing pondered in his heart and asked, "The newspaper said that the wolf soldiers arrived in time......

"This group of wolf soldiers is pursuing all the way from Hangzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, and Huizhou Mansion, and another new group of wolf soldiers arrived with Dong Bangzheng, deputy chief soldier of Wusong." Lu Bing hesitated, and then said: "Dong Bangzheng should have been assigned by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, to rush to the Taiping Mansion. ”

Emperor Jiajing faintly heard something, stared at Lu Bing for a while and didn't speak, although he had more trust in the milk brother in front of him than others, but he himself was the most suspicious one in the world.

Lu Bing couldn't hold it anymore, and whispered, "Your Majesty, there are some strange ...... in it"

Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Say, make it clear." ”

In fact, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, sent troops to pursue...... He is a native of Huizhou, and he is from Jixi, but among the soldiers dispatched, there are 300 Tianzhou wolf soldiers......"

Lu Bing quietly looked up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you remember that Qian Yuan, a member of Songjiang Huating?" ”

"Qian Yuan?"

"It was Chongde's defeat in the first battle...... It is the capture of 400 Japanese robbers in Linping Mountain outside the city of Hangzhou......"

"Oh, the drugged showman!" Emperor Jiajing's grim face loosened a little, and he smiled: "This has something to do with him?" ”

"Yes, he was kidnapped by the Japanese in She County." Lu Bing explained carefully: "Last year, the Tianzhou wolf soldiers came to the southeast, but the local government refused to accept it, and there were no supplies, so Qian Yuan tossed and moved in it, so that the Tianzhou wolf soldiers were stationed in Songjiang Mansion. ”

"The Tianzhou wolf soldiers are strictly disciplined, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and they are quite polite to Qian Yuan, this time Qian Yuan was taken away by the Japanese invaders, and the wolf soldiers took the initiative to ask Ying to pursue."

Emperor Jiajing nodded, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

In Emperor Jiajing's view, Qian Yuan, who was taken away by the Japanese Emperor, was never lucky.

Lu Bing blinked, licked his lips and whispered, "Your Majesty, that Qian Yuan is not dead......

"Not dead?!"

"Yes, that night the wolf soldiers attacked and wiped out all the widows, and Qian Yuan still exists." Lu Bing smiled bitterly: "This is the weird place. ”

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth a few steps, pondering for a moment before muttering, "From Huizhou Mansion to Taiping Mansion...... Thousands of miles away, the wolf soldiers actually didn't kill him, and the wolf soldiers actually snatched people out of the night attack......"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this fact is very strange." Lu Bing whispered: "Therefore, there are many rumors in Nanjing and even in the southeast nowadays, some people say that he endured humiliation and secretly lived, some people say that he became a widow, and there are even rumors ......"

"What?"

"It is rumored that there was no night attack by wolf soldiers at all, and it was Qian Yuan who killed all the widows." Lu Bing spread his hands, "The minister has ordered Nanjing Jinyiwei to do his best to investigate, but there is no news yet." ”

Emperor Jiajing sneered, this rumor was too nonsense, "It can't be the rumor released by Qian Yuan himself, right?" ”

Lu Bing didn't answer this time, only lowered his head.

Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged on the futon again and asked casually, "What else is the news?" ”

"The Nanzhili Township test is imminent, and the scholars have a lot to say about this matter, some attribute it to Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, some attribute it to Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian, some attribute it to Yang Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, and some attribute it to the wolf soldiers of Tianzhou......"

Emperor Jiajing snorted, everyone said that loyalty to the country is selfless, but everyone is grabbing merit, and behind all this, it is naturally the dispute between Yan Song and Xu Jie, and maybe Li Mo.

"No one takes credit for the money...... What is the money? ”

"Qian Yuan." Lu Bing pouted, "He has a bad reputation now, it is said that in the first battle of Nanling, the father and son of the county were killed in battle, and some people saw him in the Japanese at that time, and he also wrapped the wounded Japanese after the war." ”

Emperor Jiajing raised his head and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Now the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the daughter-in-law has to be reasonable...... In other words, only Qian Yuan, a member of this Huating Pavilion, knows it? ”

"Yes."

"Where is he now?"

"Nanjing, Nanzhili Township Examination Examineer." Lu Bing paused before continuing: "After escaping, Qian Yuan had contacts with many officials, including Wei Guogong. ”

"This little talent has a lot of opportunities." The corners of Emperor Jiajing's mouth hooked up a smile, "He has made meritorious contributions to resisting the Japanese three times, but now he is in a mess with the Japanese in the rumors......"

"After the township test, let him enter Beijing, and I will personally interrogate."

In the chaotic southeast war situation, more than 100 Japanese robbers actually rushed thousands of miles to the capital, and the officers and soldiers along the way could not stop it, and the political disputes between the DPRK and China were endless, and even the Jinyi guards could not find out more.

All this made Emperor Jiajing refuse to believe anyone, and he decided to ask in person.
