Jinling is not far from Huai'an, and as soon as there was chaos over there, Jinling received the news, not much later than Ye Xun got the news.

Jinling, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, has a complete system regardless of military and political affairs, but in general, the six ministries and nine secretaries on the Jinling side do not have any real power, and the real power is in the hands of the governor and commander.

Under normal circumstances, in case of emergencies, the governor has the right to transfer the commander, but the commander of Jinling is different, since the first Duke of Wei, the commander of Jinling is almost always served by the Xu family, or a close relative of the Xu family, so the governor cannot transfer the commander of Jinling at all.

If Ye Xun doesn't come, something suddenly happens in Huai'an, as the commander of Jinling, he will definitely participate in the counterinsurgency as soon as possible, and it is his responsibility to defend the territory, which is also one of his responsibilities after all.

However, Ye Xun's strong intervention, as well as the things that Ye Xun did to the nobles in Beijing, made the Wei family also resist Ye Xun, and then adopted a passive wait-and-see attitude towards what happened in Huai'an.

At this moment, in the living room of the Wei State Mansion, Xu Hongji, the current Wei State Prince, sat in the center, and his son Xu Wenjue and his niece and son-in-law Tong Kui sat on the left and right sides, that is, the commander of Jinling.

The expressions of the three of them were all relaxed, as if what happened in Huai'an had nothing to do with them.

After talking and laughing for a while, Xu Hongji suddenly frowned and said, "Do you think that this civil change came a little suddenly?" ”

Tong Kui said with a smile: "Uncle, please rest assured, in the several guards around Huai'an, except for Lu Chun's idiot, I have already said hello, and I will never let the chaos expand."

Xu Hongji glared at Tong Kui and said, "You didn't write a letter, did you?" ”

"Uncle don't worry, how can this kind of thing leave a handle on people, I sent the most cronies to pass on the message, even if someone asks about it afterwards, the nephew can push it all away"

Xu Wenjue said: "What my father said is very true, according to the news that came back, it was a popular rebellion provoked by the remnants of Bailian, but it happened to happen at the time when the eunuchs destroyed the salt gang and arrested the Yangzhou prefect, which makes people have to suspect that this matter is aimed at the eunuchs."

Xu Hongji nodded and said, "You guys have nothing to do with that surnamed Long, right?" Don't let the eunuch surnamed Ye catch the handle, it will be troublesome then."

"Huh! Father, you are too careful, this is Jinling, Nanjing, not a place where eunuchs can spread wild."

For generations, the Duke of Wei has been a military family, but in Xu Hongji's generation, he basically can't find the blood of a soldier on his body, and his son is even more unbearable.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has not suffered any setbacks, so he has developed Xu Wenjue's character of being empty-eyed.

After all, Xu Hongji is a veteran of the country, and he naturally thinks much farther than his son.

After listening to his son's words, he said noncommittally: "It's always right to be careful, after all, the legend of this eunuch is quite magical to the outside world, and it must be extraordinary."

"Your soldiers and horses can't be idle, once there is a change in Huai'an, immediately mobilize troops and horses to quell the rebellion, you must know that Huai'an is not only close to Jinling, but also not far from Fengyang, if something happens there, the prince can only apologize with death."

"Uncle, rest assured, Fengyang is heavily guarded, and with those few white lotus remnants, he can't beat them at all."

......

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, when Wei Guogong's family was talking about the Huai'an civil uprising, the news about Huai'an also spread quickly in Jinling like wings.

However, the people of Jinling don't seem to have any reaction to this matter, maybe they are used to it, or they may have confidence in the nearby army, anyway, in addition to using this matter as an after-dinner conversation, what should they do.

No matter what the topic is popular, the people have their way of talking, and the officials naturally have the characteristics of the officials.

On a painting boat on the Qinhuai River, three people dressed in luxurious satin robes were also drinking and talking about Huai'an and Ye Xun's descent to the south of the Yangtze River.

Among these people, Wang Yiming, the political envoy of Nanjing, if Governor Yao saw that he was still in the mood to drink here, he would have to be angry, but at this moment, Lord Wang reversed his humble appearance when he was at Shen Changshan's house before, and talked and laughed freely, as if he had changed as a person.

Although Wang Yiming's official position is high, it is significantly worse than the names of the other two people present.

One of these two people is Ma Shiying, the one who became the governor of Fengyang in the other time.

Ling Yi is even more famous, he is Ruan Dayue, who first defected to the Donglin Party, and then to Wei Zhongxian, and finally saw the opportunity quickly, resigned early and ran home to escape the catastrophe.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue are fellow scholars, and Wang Yiming is their senior, and the three of them also move around a lot on weekdays, so they can be regarded as good friends with the same smell.

In the melodious sound of the piano, the three of them chatted while drinking, and the singer who accompanied them interjected a few words with a smile from time to time, making the atmosphere more cheerful and harmonious.

"Lord Wang just came back from Yangzhou, have you ever seen the eunuch surnamed Ye?"

It was Ruan Dayue who spoke, a literati! I was born with a sense of resistance to eunuchs.

Wang Yiming shook his head and said, "I was entrusted by Governor Yao to go to Shen Yuanwai to inquire about Ye Xun, but it's a pity that Shen was too tight and didn't say anything valuable."

"Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming! originally thought that his three fires would burn in Jiangnan officialdom, but he never expected that he would start from the Salt Gang, and he had the means! ”

Ma Shiying shook her head incessantly as she spoke.

Ruan Dayue's eyes rolled, and he said to Wang Yiming: "Brother Wang, how did the Governor Yamen react to the Huai'an Min's change?" ”

Hearing Ruan Dayue ask about this matter, Wang Yiming looked left and right, and then waved his hand to let the few singers who accompanied him also retreat, and then lowered his voice and said: "If my expectations are correct, this matter is operated by someone in secret, just imagine, if something goes wrong in Jiangnan, who is most responsible at this time?" ”

Ruan Dayue said suspiciously: "Jinling Zuo is close to the army gathered, and the Huai'an people can't afford to make any big waves, if you want to use this method to make the eunuch convicted, I'm afraid it's going to be in vain, right?" ”

Ma Shiying also showed a look of surprise on his face, following Wang Yiming's appearance, he subconsciously looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Does Brother Wang know anything?" ”

They are all good friends for many years, Wang Yiming smiled smugly, and said: "Everyone's eyes are on Huai'an, if something goes wrong in this place, can the eunuch still get away with it?" ”

While speaking, Wang Yiming dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote two words on the table.

Seeing these two words, Ruan Dayue and Ma Shiying both showed a sudden look on their faces.

It's just that Wang Yiming and Ma Shiying didn't have any idea, in addition to the sudden knowledge of knowing the truth, Ruan Dayue's eyes also had a look of joy and complexity flashed...
