When Yang Cong was reorganizing the defense of Datong Town, a great change was brewing in the court.

The cause of this great change is very simple, that is, Tu Qiao, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is old and frail, and he can't afford to be sick.

People are born, old, sick and die, Tu Qiao is nearly seventy years old at this time, and it is not strange that he is sick and collapsed, but his position is too important, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials, and as the chief official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he will definitely not be able to lie in bed all day.

At this time, he can only be allowed to recuperate at home, and someone else will be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This great change in the court does not refer to the competition for the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because Jiajing has long intended to let Zhang Yue take over Tu Qiao's class, and at this time, Xia Yan's party has no suitable candidates to compete with Zhang Yue, so Zhang Yue soon ascended to the throne smoothly and took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

At the beginning of this great change, Tu Qiao lost the control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but this great change had little to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because Tu Qiao was not only the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also the representative of the maritime tycoons in the court, and his downfall directly led to the loss of the right to speak in the court.

The maritime tycoons dominate the southeast and act recklessly, I don't know how many officialdom people have been offended, Tu Qiao, the biggest backer, stepped down, naturally some people can't wait to clean them up, but, incrediblely, in the end, it was not their enemies who did it, but their allies, Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet!

Why did Xia Yan start to clean up the maritime giants?

It's very simple, because he has already noticed Yan Song's wolf ambitions, and Tu Qiao basically wore the same pants as Yan Song when he was in power, he had long seen Tu Qiao unpleasant, plus it was no secret that the maritime giants colluded with the Japanese and ran rampant in the southeast, and Xia Yan had already had the intention to exterminate the Japanese and strengthen his prestige.

In the past, Tu Qiao was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he didn't want to tear his face with others, so as not to be besieged by the maritime tycoons and Yan Song, or push Tu Qiao to the side of Yangming's lineage, specifically against him, now that Tu Qiao has stepped down, he has nothing to scruple about.

At this time, because of the resignation of Tu Qiao, the southeastern provinces were increasingly exterminating the Japanese invaders, and Xia Yan's idea of cleaning up the maritime giants and exterminating the Japanese invaders was becoming more and more intense.

He stared at the recitals sent from the southeastern provinces for a long time, and finally, a recital came into his eyes.

This recital was played by Zhu Kun, the political envoy of Zuobu Si Zuobu of Guangdong, and its content was to suggest that the imperial court exterminate the pirates and pirates on the southeast coast.

This Zhu Kun is a Jinshi of Zhengde for 16 years, known for his honesty and honesty, loyalty and patriotism, and he also quelled the local Tusi rebellion during his tenure as the former envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, and has rich experience in suppressing thieves.

At that time, Guangdong was not very peaceful, in the twelfth year of Jiajing, pirates colluded with the Japanese to wreak havoc in Guangzhou Mansion, and almost conquered the city of Guangzhou, the residence of the Guangdong Chengxuan Political Envoy, and Lin Fu, the governor of Liangguang, was dismissed and cut down, and the degree of chaos in Guangdong can be seen.

After Zhu Kun took power in Guangdong, he governed the locality, rectified the customs defense, and cooperated with the local capital guard to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, and achieved outstanding results, and won Jiajing's appreciation several times, and Jiajing intended to promote him to the governor of Liangguang.

Xia Yandang even suggested on the draft, "It is proposed to promote Zhu Su to the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Zhejiang, and be responsible for exterminating pirates and pirates in the four southeastern provinces." ”

When Jiajing saw this setback, he resonated with Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet, for the first time, to exterminate pirates and pirates, okay!

He always remembered the situation that Lu Ling'er had described to him after he had just returned from Fujian, the so-called maritime tycoons and pirates in the southeast were also arrogant, and he had long wanted to exterminate the pirates and pirates.

However, the Tatar Department of the Northern Yuan Dynasty entered the army every year, and the Northwest Frontier encountered police every year, so he had no time to look south.

At this time, Shaanxi has Xianning Hou Qiu Luan, who repelled the Tartars twice, and Yang Cong, the champion of Shanxi, who defeated the Tartars again and again and fled, and he has also promoted Qiu Luan and Yang Cong to be responsible for the defense of Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Early the next morning, it was still the morning dynasty, and after the right session, he said majestically: "Pirates and pirates have been wreaking havoc in the southeast for so many years, you Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Naturally, everyone has ideas, but the people who say these ideas seem to be finished, and the maritime giants are not vegetarians, and if they offend them, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die, which is very clear to the court officials.

Jiajing suddenly asked about this, and no one dared to stand up rashly to talk.

Of course, except for Xia Yan, he must have the courage to stand up and speak.

However, he has written very clearly on Zhu Kun's recital, and I believe that the emperor also understands his thoughts, and at this time, the emperor suddenly raised the issue of pirates and pirates, probably because he wanted to adopt his suggestion, and it seemed a little redundant for him to stand up again, so he stood there without saying a word.

As for Yan Song, he has a deep relationship with the maritime giants, and he naturally doesn't want Jiajing to issue an order to exterminate pirates and pirates, so he also stood there without saying a word.

As soon as everyone saw that the two cabinet bigwigs were silent, and no one dared to stand up as this leading bird, the entire court suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but snort coldly: "Do you think I don't know? How many people in the court are in cahoots with pirates and pirates, you know in your own hearts! ”

As soon as he said this, many officials who had something to do with the maritime tycoons suddenly changed their faces with fright.

The emperor won't be trying to clean them up!

Fortunately, the situation where they imagined that the knife and axe hands came out in all directions, and the situation of dragging people out did not appear, Jiajing just snorted a few times, and then motioned to the Honglu Temple official to take out a copy of the recital, and read it aloud to everyone.

This recital was handed over by Zhu Kun, the political envoy of Guangdong Chengxuan Si Zuobu, and this time, the official of Honglu Temple even read out the content of Xia Yan's ticket.

Obviously, Jiajing was ready to take Xia Yan's advice and take action against the pirates and pirates.

At this time, no one dared to jump out to object, because jumping out to oppose it was tantamount to admitting that he was in cahoots with pirates and pirates.

Jiajing glanced around, and snorted coldly again: "Why don't you say anything?" I would like someone to stand up against it, so that I can get rid of a group of moles in advance. ”

Who would dare to say this.

Seeing this, Jiajing continued to snort coldly: "No one objected, right, that's good, according to the suggestion of the first assistant, the political envoy of Guangdong Cheng announced that Zhu Kun was the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Zhejiang, and was responsible for exterminating pirates and pirates in the four southeastern provinces!" ”
