Chapter 228: Lobbying Pirates

After sorting out these excerpts, the three of them went directly to see Emperor Hongzhi.

In any case, these excerpts are directly related to the situation of the peace war, and it is necessary to let Emperor Hongzhi know these reports as soon as possible.

Liu Jian put a stack of folds on top of Emperor Hongzhi's imperial case, and said, "Your Majesty, some folds have been sent from the southeast coast. ”

Emperor Hongzhi was also calm, slowly picked it up, read it one by one, and put it aside after reading it, and there was no anger on his face.

After reading all the excerpts, Emperor Hongzhi said: "The top priority now is to train strong soldiers as soon as possible, and put other things aside for the time being. What do you think? ”

Emperor Hongzhi arranged this, but he completely ignored the fact that Cheng Shi was beaten by Xie Zhi.

Among the three, Xie Qian was especially surprised.

But soon they were also relieved, no matter what the reason for Xie Zhi beating Cheng Shi was, the imperial court must stand on Xie Zhi's side, but whenever the imperial court has the slightest intention of blaming and punishing Xie Zhi, those who are eyeing the donations, as well as those who are in the Lord's peace, will jump out.

The plan is bound to die, after all, everyone knows that Xie Zhi is leading the matter of peacemaking.

Mo said that Xie Zhi was just whipped by a provincial envoy, that is, he was killed in public, and the court had to protect Xie Zhi.

The three scholars in the cabinet were able to figure out why Emperor Hongzhi did this.

"The ministers seconded the proposal." The three of them replied in unison.

After that, Emperor Hongzhi immediately said: "The prince has been collecting donations in the court these days very safely, and I sent him to inspect the army of the Pingwan on my behalf and supervise the affairs of the Pingwan. ”

When Emperor Hongzhi mentioned this matter, the three of them looked at each other, and Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, the safety of the front line of Pingwei cannot be guaranteed, if His Highness's daughter is here in person, in case of any damage, what will happen?" ”

After all, Liu Jian and the other three are all scholars, and they all belong to the civil official group if they don't think so.

Zhu Houzhao personally supervised the affairs of the Ping Wa, which was bound to be close to the generals.

This is what they don't want to see.

Besides, the golden mean that they read on weekdays, the gentleman is not conducive to the dangerous wall, and they are forced not to agree to Zhu Houzhao to go to the army of Pingwei in person.

Zhu Houzhao is the prince and the only son, which is not much different from the emperor's personal expedition.

Liu Jian and the others refused, and Emperor Hongzhi's face fell in an instant, and his face was worse than what he had seen just now.

The three cabinet scholars promoted by Emperor Hongzhi, in addition to their good conduct, are more likely to think of him a lot of the time, and their advice can also reach his heart.

Originally, Emperor Hongzhi also knew that even if the three scholars in the cabinet satisfied him, they were all literati, and they could not get rid of the shackles of the civil bureaucracy.

But when he saw that they had done just that, he was still not very happy in his heart.

On top of this matter, Emperor Hongzhi seemed very stubborn and insisted: "The prince is not small, after all, the things in the book are limited, to be a Ming Jun, he still needs to see the suffering of the people with his own eyes, this matter is so decided, and in a few days, let the prince go to Taizhou with the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

The monarchy has always been supreme, the emperor gives face, the minister has the final say, the emperor doesn't give face, you can't even count as a green onion.

The ordinary Holy Monarch is very aware that his front and back names are in the hands of these ministers, and they will give him some face more or less.

Emperor Hongzhi has a gentle temperament, and he has always gotten along well with Wenchen, and it is not the first time that he has stubbornly insisted on his own ideas recently.

Emperor Hongzhi insisted so much, Liu Jian and the others couldn't say much, the only thing they could do was to follow orders.

Soon, the will to send Zhu Houzhao to drive the expedition on behalf of the Son of Heaven was issued.

Another thing that was issued with this decree was that Gu Pu, the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, patrolled Zhejiang, and several provinces along the southeast coast of Fujian.

It is normal for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to send people out to inspect, after all, the imperial court needs to grasp the integrity of local officials, but there is time for inspections, and it is sent out so suddenly, many people will think that this Jingcha is to assist in the matter of peace.

In fact, it is true that the reason why Emperor Hongzhi sent the imperial history was to make those officials along the coast fully cooperate and not to cause trouble for the pacification of the war.

Zhu Houzhao came out this time and brought thousands of people from the East Palace Guard to protect the whole process.

As long as these people from Donggongwei ensure that Zhu Houzhao arrives in Taizhou safely, they will be responsible for Xie Zhi when they arrive in Taizhou.

Just as Zhu Houzhao and his entourage were rushing away, Wang Shouren took Liu Aliang four or five people to drive a boat to lobby pirates from all sides.

It wasn't a big ship either, but an ordinary sea ship borrowed from Taozhuwei.

The small goal and fast sailing are just right for this kind of lobbying.

This matter is actually very dangerous, after all, those pirates have no morality to talk about, so they don't care about the rules of the two armies not killing each other.

There is anyone who is ruthless, doesn't listen to many words, and directly kills Wang Shouren to make it possible.

Wang Shouren first went to a group that was active in the waters of Fuzhou.

Although all the pirates on the sea listened to Qiu Wuhao's orders, it was only in name, Qiu Wu ordered them to make some efforts, and when they needed help, they could more or less get Qiu Wu's help.

Besides, if he didn't compromise like this, Qiu Wu would also have a wolf behind him.

They eat by the sea, and if they are embarrassed by both the government and the Japanese invaders, they have no room to resist.

If Qiu Wu died because of Ruoli's relationship, they would not be able to intervene in Fuzhou, and they would not fight for the leader.

Such a person who has no quarrel with the world is the best, such a person does not need much, and it is better to convince.

The leader of this gang of bandits is named Wang Mazi, and he is stationed in a place on the coast called Qiushan, which is surrounded by the sea, and although it is divided into Fuzhou, it is a small island.

This place is a great place for water-loving pirates, and the government will encircle and suppress them, and they can enter the sea immediately.

When it comes to the sea, the people of the government can't take the advantage, and it's not worth losing troops for a few hundred people.

Wang Shouren fell to the place where the pirates were stationed, and directly reported his identity.

Over the years, people from the government have not come to lobby, and every time they have returned in vain.

The official Zhao'an looks good, but what can happen after the Zhao'an? These people who arranged for them are not also military households.

The military household is just the general's personal slave, how can he be a pirate.

For Wang Shouren, a person from the official government, Wang Haozi has no intention of seeing him.

Fortunately, Wang Shouren is not the kind of ordinary lobbyist, Wang Da code is missing, Wang Shouren said directly: In Xia Bucai, he led the treasure ship to defeat Qiu Wu a few days ago. ”

After all, the treasure ship of the Ming court is enough to make many people fear.

Sure enough, as soon as this identity came out, Wang Shouren was invited in.

"Today, I came down to see the leader of the king and only said one sentence, the leader of the king is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it should be clear that betraying the country and bringing future generations will be scolded, no matter what the reason for the leader of the king to be this pirate in the first place, now that the court wants to pacify the Japanese, the leader of the king should understand that if he helps the Japanese again, he is betraying his ancestors."

Wang Haozi didn't speak, and Wang Shouren didn't say anything more and got up directly, saying, "Say goodbye." ”

Wang Shouren raised his legs and left, and Wang Haozi did not wait for the conditions promised by the usual official Zhao'an.

Since Wang Shouren didn't say it, Xie Zhi had no choice but to ask, "What's the matter?" Even if you let me wait for the surrender, there is no benefit? ”

If you promise the benefits of these pirates, how can you get the support of ordinary people?

Wang Shouren's attitude was particularly resolute, and he replied: "There are no benefits, but you can promise that if you can make meritorious contributions in the matter of peace, the court can restore your innocence." ”

Wang Shouren didn't wait for these pirates to say more, and said directly: "Ping Wei is the responsibility of the people of the Ming Dynasty, what is the identity, men, women and children are all because of reason, it can be made clear here, if you can abandon the dark and make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, there is still room for turnaround, if you go to the dark and have to turn your back on your ancestors, then after the expulsion of the Japanese Kou, what awaits you will be ashes." ”

In the pirate lair, he dared to say such tough words, and I am afraid that only people like Wang Shouren dared to do it.

The pirates heard this, and there was a slight noise in the silence.

Wang Shouren didn't give them a chance, and said directly: "You can also splash blood on the spot today, but you need to understand that you can die in Xia, but tomorrow you will also be buried with you." ”

After all, the threat of the treasure ship is still there, and the pirate will not dare to crash into it at this time.

The pirates were silent for a few moments in the noise, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of Wang Shouren's mouth, and he said, "Okay, let's go, what I said below, let's wait for the good students to think about it." ”
