"Whose report?" Emperor Jiajing said with interest.

"Your Majesty, the Zhejiang Inspector who was ordered by you to prepare for the war, is silent and clumsy." Lu Binggong said.

"What? Silent? "Emperor Jiajing has forgotten his appointment on a whim, but the joke of 'what silence' he had with Yan Ge Lao made him remember it vividly, so when he heard the name, he remembered everything, and said with a slight bow: "I asked him to write a report on the military situation in the southeast, just such a trivial matter, why did he submit it now?" ”

Lu Bing had an idea of silence in his heart, so he naturally wanted to help him explain: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, with mountains and rivers in your heart, a small matter in your eyes is a great thing in the eyes of your courtiers." ”

"Hmph, that's good." Emperor Jiajing's eyebrows trembled and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the Manchu Dynasty was full of people who violated yang and yin, and corpses were vegetarians, why would I be so embarrassed by the little widows?" ”

Lu Bing's face was embarrassed for a while, he felt that he was one of the representatives, and quickly changed the topic and said: "When Wei Chen came, he flipped through it, and the thick stack was at least more than 100,000 words, and it was written in an orderly and simple way. This at least shows that, first, he has indeed traveled all over Zhejiang; Second, his statement is indeed credible, otherwise there would not have been so many civil and military witnesses; Third," he said with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is really a solid talent." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Jiajing was flipping through the silent report, and although he was noncommittal, he couldn't help but get serious, and when he saw it, it was very different from the ambiguous report he usually saw, very precise and concise, so that he could understand the meaning of the author without bothering.

Moreover, Shen Mo knew that people in this era were generally insensitive to numbers, so that in many official articles, from time to time, there were jokes such as 'the river is thousands of feet wide and the buildings are hundreds of feet high', so he deliberately used some simple and easy-to-understand charts to express those quantitative relationships, so that Jiajing felt that he understood the southeast much more thoroughly.

Jiajing is not Lu Bing, and his concern for his country is far better than the life and death of Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, the secret battles of Yan Song and Xu Jie, so he did not rush to find any Wang Jiangjing's victory, but carefully read this report from the beginning.

Shen Mo said that the guards in the southeast had been rotten as early as the Chenghua period, and the troops fighting now were all militiamen recruited by officials from Zhejiang and other places, and it really took time to train these people; It turned out that the leaders and main forces of the Japanese were some natives who had forgotten their ancestors, and they took risks to collude with Yu himself, which caused a great disaster of more than 100,000 people...... It seems that it's not that I'm a big man who can't help Xiao Yueben, but the lawbreakers of my country are doing something in it, Emperor Jiajing thought.

Shen Mo also used a series of combat strength comparisons to point out that the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army is in the recovery stage, and it will take at least one or two years to reach the level of the Japanese Invaders. Moreover, it focuses on the characteristics of the actions of the Japanese invaders who are based on the island and come and go freely, and also objectively analyzes the source composition of the Japanese invaders, and implies very vaguely that it is very difficult for the emperor to completely exterminate them...... The pins could be heard in the hall, and the rustle of the emperor turning the paper sounded very clear.

After a long, long time, Jiajing slowly raised his head and rubbed his astringent eyes...... He didn't even bother to eat lunch, he finally finished reading the long hundreds of thousands of words, everything on the southeast coast seemed to be vividly displayed in front of the emperor's eyes, although his eyes were still full of sores, but his heart was unprecedentedly calm...... The previous long period of irritability came down to his loss of control over the country and his inability to find a solution. For an emperor with a strong desire for control and a high self-esteem, it is intolerable no matter what.

But now, with the help of this orderly report, he has finally sorted out some clues about the chaotic situation in the southeast, and I believe that after further research and research, his heart will eventually open up. Thinking of this, the sense of power that you can control everything is finally back! In the sky and on the ground, the feeling of being the only one is really cool.

Jiajing slowly closed his eyes, feeling the excitement in his heart...... This feeling has been three times since he ascended the throne, except for this time, one is thirty years ago, when Zhang Xuan took the "Great Rite Shu" that 'even if the saint is resurrected, it cannot be refuted', and opened a vigorous and long-lasting Great Rite Discussion, and the result was of course very good. Although it has been a long time, it is still very pleasant to think about it every time, and it is even more enjoyable than Tao Tianshi's elixir.

The second time was six years ago, the governor of the three sides, Zeng Milling, in order to completely solve the Mongolian border troubles, the "Heavy Discussion on the Fuhe Set" was a once and for all policy, and the eternal society relied on it. Jiajing was also very excited at that time, rubbing his fists, blushing and thick-necked, so that Xia Shoufu, who had been in the sea for a long time, thought that the emperor was going to roll up his sleeves and do a big job, and he would not give up until he achieved his goal!

Emperor Jiajing performed a Sichuan opera trick to his ministers, and threw the piece into the furnace the next day, making a contribution to the cause of alchemy, and also gave Xia Shoufu, who was excited with it, a big heel that could never be started again.

Of course, the fate of Zeng Mill and Zhang Xuan cannot be compared, and Zhang Xuan was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet with the humility of the last Jinshi, and completed the impossible task. But Governor Zeng has since become a thorn in the emperor's side, and was later overthrown by Qiu Luan with a letter of complaint, and he also went to the court with Xia Yan.

So Emperor Jiajing didn't rush to conclusions, he had to figure out first whether he was really excited, or fake excited, if it was fake excitement, what should he do if his father and mother remarried. If you're really excited, you have to think about what to do.

But he can clearly feel that this silent note is not like Zeng Miao's exalting words, pointing out the country, and telling the emperor that you should do this and that, as if otherwise you are not worthy of being the emperor. On the contrary, he only summarized the situation in the southeast and did not directly propose any proposals. But after reading it, the emperor immediately thought of a solution to the problem, and he could reach it by tiptoeing and stretching out his hand, and there was absolutely nothing for the emperor to bother.

Thinking of this, Jiajing couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: 'If this kid is in the cabinet, wouldn't I be able to cultivate with peace of mind?' As soon as this thought came out, he himself burst out laughing, if I remember correctly, the kid was less than twenty, and he had never even participated in the township test.

Hearing the emperor laughing, Lu Dudu, who was extremely bored on the side, hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "What does Your Majesty think of this report?" ”

Jiajing nodded and said softly: "Well, not bad......" For a mean emperor, it is very rare to be able to give such an evaluation. Only then did he remember the original intention of finding Lu Binglai, and scolded with a smile: "What do you think should be done with this matter?" ”

"Jane is in the emperor's heart, and Qiankun is arbitrary." Lu Bing was extremely smooth.

Jiajing made a gesture to throw out the fold, and scolded with a smile: "Do you want to play tricks with me?" ”

Lu Bing said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, this is not a slippery head, it is really that Weichen has no idea." As he spoke, he turned over the silent recital and said: "Weichen focused on a section of Wang Jiangjing's victory, and said silently, 'Wenhua and Zongxian repeatedly urged, and Zhang Jing finally transferred the army north to Songjiang. However, Xu Hai and the others heard that Jiahang was empty, and they rushed into Jiashan by land and water, 'Look at this paragraph, it is clear that Zhang Jing couldn't withstand the pressure to fight, and it also caused the danger of Jiahang, which really should be killed. ”

Then he pointed to the next paragraph and said: "But Shen Mo also said later: 'After Zongxian retreated from the enemy and Jiaxing, Zhang Jingxuan came from Songjiang to inspect the division, but Zongxian still controlled the battle of Wang Jiangjing. He scratched his head and said: "This is a little interesting, Zhang Jing is the plenipotentiary governor with the banner of the king's order, and after arriving in Jiaxing, he did not hold Hu Zongxian accountable for exceeding his authority to command the army, and continued to delegate power and let Hu Zongxian command the army to complete the great victory." Speaking of which, this scripture is not useless, at least he is a little self-aware, knowing that he can't do it, he asked Xian to Hu Zongxian on the spot. ”

"It's just a vegetarian meal." Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "What kind of merit is that?" ”

Lu Bing's eyes widened and said: "Remember that when Weichen first took on a big responsibility, he was afraid that his own ability was not enough and would ruin His Majesty's major affairs, you taught me and said: 'A capable superior can use a subordinate who has no ability, because he can take ideas himself, and others run errands; But if you can't help the superiors, you have to use capable subordinates, although you will feel uncomfortable, but someone has to give you an idea. Then he said seriously: "I think Zhang Jing has done a good job at this point." ”

Jiajing's face darkened, and it was not much easier to let Zhang Xuan enter the cabinet than to let him change his mind. I only heard him say coldly: "Regardless of the capital crime in this battle, it is always a fact that he is disloyal and afraid of the enemy, right?" ”

Lu Bing knew Jiajing too well, and knew that Zhang Jing's end was certain, so he said in his heart: 'Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing, we have never met, and it is already very interesting for me to save your life, but don't expect me to speak for you and protect your official position. In the final analysis, he still didn't dare to offend Yan Shifan.
