Emperor Jiajing stared at Zheng Guang, as if he wanted to see through everything about him, and Zheng Guang had made up his mind, without half a moment's hesitation, at this moment the emperor asked, he was even more excited, so he immediately replied: "The minister is only willing to return to the southeast, to contribute to the pacification of the Japanese Kou, the Japanese are not peaceful for a day, the southeast is not peaceful for a day, and the minister will not return to Beijing for a day, this is the oath that the minister made before coming to Beijing!" Even if the minister is lucky enough to get the champion now, this ambition will not change! ”

Emperor Jiajing smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay! He deserves to be a good man! I haven't seen a good man with such ambitions in years! Then he said to Huang Jin beside him: "Huang Jin, go and move a brocade for Zheng Guang, don't stand, sit down!" I have a lot more to say to you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The courtiers who can sit in front of Emperor Jiajing are either the elder of the pavilion or Lu Bing, and now Zheng Guang can actually sit, which is really a great gift, so Zheng Guang hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”

In addition to thanking him, Zheng Guang looked at the folds piled up on Emperor Jiajing's desk, and knew how deeply the world misunderstood Emperor Jiajing, how could he call him a traitor who ignored government affairs and believed in traitors? Emperor Jiajing was not only not a faint monarch who ignored government affairs, but a strong emperor with a very strong desire for power, and the desire for power was so strong that he snatched the power of personnel appointment and dismissal and financial power from the hands of ministers, in order to completely control the court situation.

Rao is Xia Yan is so strong, in front of Emperor Jiajing is still a lot shorter, all the military affairs, where money and people need to be used, basically Emperor Jiajing has to ask, so in fact, Emperor Jiajing is not out of Xiyuan, but the imperial decrees are all from Xiyuan, the elders are all working in the Xiyuan duty room, involving soldiers, money, and people, all handed over to Emperor Jiajing to deal with, and he does not dare to deal with it at will.

Of course, how much Emperor Jiajing dealt with, how to deal with it, is his own business, some things he watched attentively, and then followed up very attentively, until the deal was completed, the slightest unpleasant place to knock the minister to make the minister frightened, three times a night; Some things are taken at will, and you don't care about the word "read", which means that I have seen it, and it is no big deal, you can do it yourself!

This emperor, the emperor who can make all the courtiers frightened, how terrifying should he be, what kind of power and ambition are hidden in that thin and slender body, he can turn into a man-eating beast at any time, roaring angrily towards the sky, and making the ministers tremble.

After sitting down cautiously, the more Emperor Jiajing looked at Zheng Guang, the more pleasing he became, and asked with interest: "Zheng Guang, I have seen your talent, and I don't doubt it, but Pingwei is not only a war, but also an official is not a student, if I really send you back to the southeast, then what kind of position do you want, and how do you plan to pacify the Japanese?" You're not going to ask me to give you the position of governor and put you in charge of the pacification, right? That's impossible, even if I give you this position, no one will obey you.

This is the case in this officialdom, there is no age, no qualifications, you do things, people are worried, you force to do it, no one cooperates with you, you will not be able to do it, just like me, I ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, you can know that I only started to govern at the age of seventeen, the first two years, what the minister said, what I can do, there is no right to decide at all, probably, that is, an emperor of the government, similar to your Guanzheng Jinshi, I can't give you a high position, I can't give you heavy power, in this case, what should you do? ”

Zheng Guang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this, the minister naturally knows, the minister will not think that he can ascend to the sky in one step to become the governor, the minister's idea, is like this, the minister does not need a high position for the time being, and does not need heavy power, there is Zhu Su Governor in the land of Su Song, there is Tang Shunzhi's prefect, there is Fan Qing military equipment, it can be said that the three best ministers in the entire southeast have gathered in Susong, where it is very safe now, the minister, I still want to ask Your Majesty for a will, continue to do Su Song's training and garrison, recruit new soldiers, train new troops, and enhance strength." ”

Emperor Jiajing raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Do you want to continue training recruits?" Is it the soldiers of Yiwu? ”

Zheng Guang nodded: "Yes, the strength and quality of the Yiwu soldiers are the best soldiers that the minister has seen in the southeast." ”

Emperor Jiajing asked, "How many recruits do you plan to train?" ”

Zheng Guang said honestly: "This time, the minister wants to train at least 7,000 out, and the original 3,000 soldiers are combined into a 10,000 army, with initial deterrence, after all, 3,000 soldiers are still too few, the Japanese invaders often dispatch 350,000 thieves, the minister's 3,000 soldiers are not enough, at least to ensure the number of 10,000 new troops, can cope with the needs of the time, as for the need to completely pacify the southeast land troubles, the minister also said in the policy, at least 50,000 new troops are needed, as for the sea, not to mention for the time being." ”

Emperor Jiajing lowered his head and pondered silently for a while, then raised his head and said: "The southeast Japanese plague is all over the southeastern coastal provinces, not only Susong, but also Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. ”

Zheng Guang silently calculated, the land Japanese in Nanzhili and Zhejiang are basically two-thirds of the main force of the Japanese invaders, if they really want to fight the enemy, at least 100,000 people can be mobilized, not to mention the Japanese at sea, the Japanese in Fujian may not come to support, and the guards in the rest of the places are not usable, then, at least 30,000 new troops are barely enough.

"At least 30,000, less than 30,000, the minister is really not sure, if there is a war against the Japanese in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, especially the Japanese in Zhejiang, the Japanese in the sea will also attack, the Japanese in Fujian may not come to reinforce, the guards in various places can not be counted on, not at all, can only rely on the new army!" Zheng Guang answered truthfully.

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a long time this time, then took a deep look at Zheng Guang and slowly spoke......

When Zheng Guang secretly played against Emperor Jiajing in the palace, Yan Song looked sad at home, looking at Yan Shifan who was also distressed with a distressed face, and finally couldn't help but speak: "You say, why don't you say it, aren't you proud that you are extremely smart and invincible?" Now what? We haven't started yet, the emperor has stopped fighting the Hetao, your reasons and excuses, without the Hetao, how can you play it?! ”

Yan Shifan's face was full of distress, and he said depressedly: "Thousands of calculations, it can't be counted as a sudden killing of Zheng Guang, Daddy!" I'm not a god, how do I know that Zheng Guang would write such a strategy, and the emperor would appreciate him so much! I counted the entire court, but Zheng Guang is not an official yet! How do I count him? said with a fierce look on his face: "It's all this bastard boy, who dares to spoil my good deeds!" He must be Xia Yan's henchman! I'm going to clean him up! ”

Yan Song shook his head and said distressedly: "This can't be blamed on Zheng Guang, Zheng Guang's strategy is also against Xia Yan, but I didn't expect that it happened to collide with us, there is no party henchman who is not a party henchman, this young man is talented, can fight, can train soldiers, and is quite capable of politics, he is Tang Shunzhi's only favorite apprentice, if he can be taken for his own use, it will also be good for the old man in the future, you don't deliberately target him, he is so young, if he is developed in the future, the old man will already be in the ground, you will be miserable!" ”

Yan Shifan pursed his lips and said unhappily: "Then I'll kill him now, so that he doesn't even have a future!" Look how he threatens me! ”

Yan Song said angrily: "Tell you not to be so public!" Don't make enemies everywhere! Your father and I are also from a bitter background, thirty years ago, who would have thought that I, Yan Song, would one day be able to enter the cabinet and become a cabinet elder? What do you mean by that? Right! I'd rather bully the white man than the poor boy! Especially such a talented young man, I call him calm, without any publicity, obviously he has been carefully trained by Tang Shunzhi, and he has a little understanding of officialdom, such a talent, as long as he is not hostile to us, we can't be hostile to him! ”

Yan Shifan was still unhappy: "Dad, with your current identity and power, it is not easy to kill a little jinshi and make him never turn over?" Although Xia Yan's old immortal was lucky to pass this hurdle, the emperor was already very dissatisfied with him, the emperor's least favorite thing was the courtiers who disagreed with him, Xia Yan had made the emperor lose face several times, even if there was no help from us, within a year or two, Xia Yan would inevitably quit! ”

Yan Song sat on the chair, frowned and whispered: "First, if you want to achieve great things, you must have the heart to embrace all rivers and rivers, and accept strange people and strange people from all over the world for your own use, so as to make your wings full; The two, don't erect enemies everywhere, if you can form an alliance, you can form an alliance, if you can't be hostile, you won't be hostile, when you encounter a powerful force, even if you take a step back, you must be better with it, so that it can become an arm, the world, in the end, it's not one person's, Yan Shifan, you can't do these two things at all! ”

Yan Shifan said depressedly: "Dad, with you at the helm in the front, I will support you in the back, our father and son are of the same heart, what else can't be done?" Besides, I didn't make enemies everywhere, and I made a lot of friends! ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as he said this, Yan Song said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say it!" What kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods are you befriending! Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, cheating! Your dad and I are also a jinshi, you don't want to be motivated, it's just that, every day with these fox friends and dog friends everywhere to oppress the good, don't think I don't know what you do! If you have half of Zheng Guang's ability and conduct, Lao Tzu can wake up laughing when he falls asleep! ”

Yan Shifan was unhappy: "Dad, won't Zheng Guang take the Jinshi exam and win the battle?" I have done a lot more than him, the words that the emperor wanted, the words he said, the things he did, which one of them didn't I do for you? Can Zheng Guang do it? If it weren't for me, would you have been able to get back to your old position so quickly? ”

Yan Song was stunned for a moment, and became even more angry: "You bastard boy! Is this your attitude towards your father? Although Zheng Guang may not understand Qingzi, he may not understand the meaning, but that is the way to live and live, you are all evil and crooked! Not for long! ”

Yan Shifan's momentum shrank, and he didn't speak, but he was still muttering some unclean words in his mouth, and Yan Song pointed out the door angrily: "Get out!" ”

Yan Shifan left Yan Song's study in a gloomy manner, the fierceness in his eyes flashed, and he muttered, "Zheng Guang...... Hum! ”
