Late at night, the heads of Beijing, the Yan Mansion, the cabinet, and the military department gathered in the hall, and all the people present were senior officials of the second rank and above, and some of them did not even have a seat, but they didn't care about the ministry at all.

Needless to say, the bad news is that the world's famous city has been lost, there is no arrangement, there is no gradual progress, and there is no closure of the city, but in one day, Hangzhou fell into the hands of thieves. Even at this moment, there are still people who refuse to believe it, but it is a fact that many parties have reported it.

Fortunately, there is also luck in the misfortune, this unpredictable thief, after burning Hangzhou, returned to the East China Sea without the slightest hesitation. The army that can take Hangzhou in one day is the most terrible in the eyes of everyone to go north to Suzhou and Nanjing, but this group of people is simply gone and their hearts are clean.

In addition to the ruins and ruins, they also have a slogan -

"The emperor has no faith, and the East China Sea suffers! Burn the Ming Court and sacrifice to my shipowner! ”

This slogan reached the ears of the Beijing officials through oral transmission and the form of large characters in the city.

People who are familiar with the situation in the bureau secretly scream for retribution in their hearts, and this time they really went too far.

But this so-called slogan is not just right.

The emperor has never broken his promise, and it is Hu Zongxian who has lost his trust.

Hu Zongxian couldn't help but lose his trust, because the patrol according to the imperial history convicted Wang Zhi of the crime according to law.

After sorting it out, it was Hu Zongxian's wishful thinking to ask Wang Zhi to go ashore, and the law enforcers should also be imprisoned.

As for the emperor himself, according to the Ming law, there is anything wrong with signing and nodding Wang Zhi?

This is probably the most wronged place for Wang Zhi, the hot face finally stuck to the hot ass, but found that it was just an ass, and there were tendons and brains on it.

Clear-eyed people know that the emperor is purely pretending to be confused, otherwise Hu Zongxian has been in Beijing for so long, why hasn't he seen him?

In any case, the consequences of pretending to be confused have already appeared.

Of course, the emperor could not be held accountable for this, he was never responsible for anything.

Not only himself, but also the attitude he represents cannot be held responsible for this, and the punishment of Wang Zhi must be correct, so the word "retribution" is only for everyone to think about at most, and this matter must not be interpreted as "due to the wrong execution of Wang Zhi, causing the anger of the thief, and then losing the city".

On the surface, it cannot be explained like this, let alone let the people understand it like this.

Then the following things are learned.

How to report this matter to the emperor, how to explain this matter to the outside world, and how to deal with this matter later.

The main point of reporting to the emperor is to avoid "killing Wang Zhi and causing the anger of thieves" and not to add obstacles to the emperor.

The main point of the external statement is to leave all the responsibility and hatred to the pirates, and the most important thing is to completely annihilate the fact that Wang Zhi once tried to submit.

As for the processing...... Let's solve the above two things first.

A bunch of adults are discussing in the hall, but they are all nonsense, they are all waiting for Shousuke's attitude, and Shousuke is not not in the house, he is just waiting for his son's attitude.

The complexity and difficulty of handling this matter have exceeded Yan Song's ability, and only Donglou children can solve it.

Yan Shifan stood motionless in front of the window, no longer had the chic drunken beauty knee before, just because this incident was beyond his expectations, and nothing had ever exceeded his expectations.

Wang Bengu will not make a move for no reason, he represents the emperor, which is expected.

The emperor didn't see Hu Zongxian, and only waited for him to execute Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi would die, which was also expected.

Wang Zhi died, the pirates began to make a fuss, and the situation in the southeast began to boil again, which was as expected.

But who would have predicted that this pot of boiling water could flood Hangzhou?

Under Wang Zhi's curtain, there are also fierce people.

Fortunately, Shoufu has never expressed any tendentious opinions in this process, nor has he made any attitude clear, and he has not even met Hu Zongxian's face.

But the latter thing will be involved, because the existence of Shoufu is to help the emperor solve trouble. Yan Shifan has already figured out for many years, Jiajing has no shortage of little cleverness, lack of great wisdom, the way to deal with it is to dress smart with him in small things, so that he can afford you, and pretend to be confused with him in big things, so that he knows that your ability is not enough to threaten him.

This time, it's a big deal, and you have to pretend to be a big fool.

Yan Song re-entered the hall again, but did not bring the attitude that everyone had been waiting for for a long time, but summoned a person into the study, this person was the only person in the audience who was inferior to the second grade, and it was the commander of the Zhejiang Dusi himself. Hu Zongxian has no one alive or dead, and he is the chief sinner who lost Hangzhou.

The reason why he is still here is only to cooperate with the later questioning work, so that his family can avoid the sin of being enslaved by the army. Unlike many Hangzhou officials, his family was grounded in Beijing, and if he could, his family could not.

After entering the study, the commander successively greeted Yan Song, the first assistant, and Yan Shifan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Yan Shifan looked up and down, and seeing that he was still calm, he couldn't help but say: "The leader is unbearable, but the mentality is superior." ”

The commander said indifferently: "The last general can only apologize with death." ”

"Then what are you going to do with it?" Yan Shifan chuckled and said, "If you really want to die, wouldn't it be better to learn from Hu Zongxian to die in Hangzhou?" ”

The commander's careful thinking was broken by a word, this fat one-eyed man really lived up to his reputation, he didn't dare to behave well, he only knelt down: "The last general has nothing to ask for, only his family ......"

"Don't rush to kneel, stand up." Yan Shifan stepped forward, pressed the instep of his foot against the chin of the commander, and raised it slightly, "Let's talk about the specific situation." ”

The commander trembled: "On the morning of June 15, more than 10,000 thieves ......"

Yan Shifan shook his head and said, "I know all of this, and I don't know it." ”

"Yan Shangshu means ......"

"The oral accounts of the survivors, the facts that are inconvenient to write in the military newspaper, how many people there are, how they did it, who they are, and what is the purpose."

"The last general can't be confirmed, it's just a ...... of talking about the Quartet"

"It's all right, I'll discern." Yan Shifan looked down at the commanding envoy and said, "In my place, what you have experienced, what you have learned, what you have heard, and what you have mastered, say it as it is, so that Shoufu can handle the rest of the matter." ”

"Then ......," the commander turned to look at Yan Song, "the last general will tell the truth?" ”

Yan Song nodded.

The commander said that the matter was not officially written, and it was not because of anything else, but he could not confirm it himself, and it was all said.

It is said that about 15,000 people came from Kyushu.

The leader is Wang Dongcheng, the second son of Wang Zhi, who is more than six feet tall.

The siege of the city has never been seen before, the length of the cannon is nine feet upward, and the caliber is amazing.

The families of Hangzhou officials evacuated first, but were ambushed and captured by Wang Dongcheng, and only the wife of the general Qi Jiguang was able to escape.

It is said that the siegers and robbers were all Han Chinese.

It is said that Wang Dongcheng had an order, only captured but not killed, and the people were robbed of their belongings and let them go, which is what the survivors said.

There are many more to say. Under these rumors, the siege is even more suspicious. (To be continued.) )
