After negotiating some interests, Hu Zongxian happily went on the road, while Zhao Wenhua looked depressed.

The fast horse was soon sent to the capital, and the Jiajing Emperor was happy to hear that the woes were forever removed, and immediately issued an order to reward the meritorious ministers, and even Wang Zhi was awarded the general Mingwei at the beginning, and the official worshiped the general of the naval army and commanded the affairs of the four products.

Just when the Manchu civil and military were rejoicing, waiting for the triumph of the army. Suddenly, I heard that Yuan Huiyuan, the superintendent of the army, impeached the governor Hu Zongxian, and Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was corrupt and corrupted the dynasty. Suddenly felt inexplicable, even Emperor Jiajing was very puzzled, when he let Yuan Huiyuan go, it was just a soy sauce, the so-called supervising army was also to show the prestige of the empire, and he gave a false hat, when did he really think he was an official of the Ming Dynasty?

And the holy decree he rewarded is estimated to be on the way, and all of a sudden the meritorious person becomes a body of guilt? The will can never be changed, but if the impeachment is successful, isn't this reward a joke?

Originally, the early dynasty was singing praises of virtue, but now it is good, and there are quarrels every day. Yan Song and his party thought about how to exonerate them all day long, what merits offset them, and what merits outweigh their faults. As far as the officials and supervisors are concerned, they are holding on to it, punishing them severely, and setting an example. Emperor Jiajing was also very depressed in the middle, from full of expectations to disappointment and helplessness, this gap was really depressing.

While they were arguing, the following report said that Yuan Huiyuan had arrived first.

"Announce it quickly, announce it quickly." Emperor Jiajing hurriedly ordered.

"Xuan Crossing Gongyuan Huiyuan Upper Palace~~" This time even Hosokawa Huiyuan has a reward, and he is specially awarded the title of first-class duke, especially into the Guanglu Doctor and Zuozhu Kingdom.

This time, Hosokawa Terumoto wore a Ming Dynasty costume and went to the palace to meet him, "Chenyuan Teruyuan sees the emperor." ”

"Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Jiajing's hand was weak.

"Emperor Xie!" Hosokawa Terumoto stood up and stood sideways.

"Aiqing has worked this expedition."

"Being able to serve the emperor for the Ming Dynasty is a blessing for Weichen." Hosokawa Terumoto came out of class again and shook his fists to make a big salute.

"Come on, let's talk about the details of the victory in this expedition." Emperor Jiajing was in high spirits, listening to Hosokawa Terumoto's description, and occasionally hearing the climax, he not only praised it.

Hosokawa Huiyuan understood in his heart that Hu Zongxian was very favorable, and Emperor Jiajing seemed to want to protect him, so he changed his words and said: "This time, thanks to the emperor's trust, the special minister is appointed to serve as an important position in the supervision of the army. Wei Chen was fortunate not to be dishonored, and it was verified that the governor Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were corrupt and perverted the law, and the evidence was conclusive, Hu Zongxian had signed and drawn the charge, and he would be escorted into Beijing in the near future. ”

"Uh, I don't know what Aiqing thinks about this matter, how to deal with it?" Emperor Jiajing asked with great embarrassment.

"Kill according to the law!" Hosokawa Terumoto said without hesitation.

"Ahh This.. "Emperor Jiajing never expected it to be so neat.

"However, if he clears the hundred-year-old widows, he can be lightly dismissed." Hosokawa Terumoto pretended to think about it and said.

"Huh~~ That?" Emperor Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.

"Distribution!" Hosokawa Terumoto was shocked again.

"Huh?" Now not only Emperor Jiajing, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, could it be that this Yuan Huiyuan and Hu Zongxian have a grudge? The beheading is also clicking, and the distribution is a lifetime of sin. Moreover, there is a difference between lifelong and permanent, for life: the offender is required to serve until death; Permanence: and sin for future generations.

"Isn't that too harsh? After all, Hu Aiqing has made great contributions this time. Emperor Jiajing couldn't stand it anymore and spoke for Hu Zongxian.

"The emperor has no worries, Hu Zongxian also admitted that he was guilty of this matter, and he also signed and detained." Hosokawa Terumoto spoke surprisingly again.

"Huh!? He even agreed to it himself? "The Manchu civil and military whispers." It seems that he felt guilty of his own sins and wanted to atone for them. "yes, yes." "It's a rarity." "It's a pity, Pingwei has such a credit, will it be too heavy?" Even the most difficult of the speakers have sympathizers.

"Since Hu Aiqing has already drawn a charge, let's discuss it, where is the distribution?" The matter has come to this point, and Emperor Jiajing can't think of a good way for the time being, but he doesn't want Hosokawa Teruyuan to express his opinions anymore, so he will give one of his important ministers a living sentence in three or two sentences.

"Your Majesty! It's better to go to the coastal military defense, Lord Hu himself is also meritorious in exterminating the Japanese invaders, and the coastal words are also reasonable. One of the imperial historians suggested.

"No! Too light! Hosokawa Terumoto said no.

"Huh? Could it be the extreme edge and the land of smoke and miasma? The imperial historian asked angrily.

"No! Too close! Hosokawa Terumoto said again in the negative.

"Too? Too close? This is already the most remote place in my Ming Dynasty! The imperial historian couldn't help but raise the decibel level and emphasized.

"Your Majesty! I thought it should be distributed overseas! Hosokawa Terumoto ignored this imperial history and bowed to Emperor Jiajing.

"The sea? Overseas! "Emperor Jiajing is obviously a little surprised, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been an overseas distribution.

"Not bad! The minister suggested that he be sent to Hirado, Japan. Now that the plague has been eliminated, according to the "Ming Pirate Code", he will be automatically relieved of his military service in wartime, become a legal pirate of the Ming Dynasty and be issued a "Privateer License". Hosokawa Terumoto paused, allowing the emperor and the Manchu civil and military to digest it.

"So given that this is the first time to do so, the difficulties can be imagined. Therefore, by assigning Master Hu to the core of the bandits, first, he can deter pirates with his qualifications. Second, it can be used as the eyes and ears of the imperial court to monitor pirates at close range. The third is to take the opportunity to integrate the pirates and make them truly become the private army of my Ming Dynasty. After Hosokawa Terumoto finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Xu Jie pondered for a while, and immediately went out of class and said: "The minister is reconsidering!" ”

Zhang Juzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, saw that he was smart and wise, and he immediately knew Hosokawa Teruyuan's follow-up plans, and he also went out to play: "Minister reconsideration!" ”

"Reconsideration!" "The minister also reconsiders!" A group of ministers led by Xu Jie reconsidered.

The Great Voyage and the Governorship, the topics that they have discussed many times, although they know the vastness of the world, but because of the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no way to persuade the emperor and the government and the opposition. It just happened that the opening of the sea trade was just implemented, but it was still limited to the hands of the official or a very small number of giant businessmen, and it could only be regarded as barely opening the country, and it was still early to open the sea to the world. Now it is necessary for a person or a group of people to go abroad in order to really raise this wave of reform.

"Good! I've got! "Emperor Jiajing originally agreed with Hosokawa Teruyuan when he heard that he killed three birds with one stone, but now he saw that half of the officials had reconsidered, so it was finalized on the spot.

"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers bowed down one after another.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood.

"Your Majesty! There is still one thing to tell! Hosokawa Terumoto said at the right time.

"Speak!" Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and the posture was as if Japan was kneeling at his feet.

"This is a letter of repentance written by Lord Hu, the former governor of Zhejiang, please read it by the emperor." Hosokawa Teruyuan took out a fold from his arms, presented it with both hands, and the eunuch Bingbi took it and respectfully presented it to Emperor Jiajing.
