Chapter 149: The Emperor Waited for Half an Hour for the Scroll

The South Study in the Forbidden City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, a middle-aged man sat in the study, holding a book in his hand, as if he was thinking about it, and after about half a quarter of an hour, the book in his hand had not been put down, nor had he turned the page.

This man is wearing a dragon robe, his appearance is extraordinary, and he has a lot of nobility in his bones, which is when he is on the pilgrimage, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi.

Although the man kneeling in front of the dragon case was surprised, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to kneel there honestly and bow his head and dare not make a sound, the emperor didn't speak, you are the first to speak as a minister, are you not looking for death?

It is said that this Jiajing Emperor is notoriously unreasonable, except for alchemy in the palace every day, there is basically nothing to do every day, what is it that can make this emperor who has sat in the palace for decades and has never taken care of things personally summon the minister?

After holding the book for a long time, I was a little sleepy, and an old eunuch understood, so he called someone to get a pill, which was not small, shining with golden light, and it was quite a bit of a big Luo Jindan to go down to earth.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

At this time, the minister was still kneeling on the ground, and the old eunuch said softly.

"Hmm." Emperor Jiajing said that he would take a plate of Chinese medicine pills, take it with water, take it orally, and after eating it, his body became refreshed again.

"Hu Zongxian, do you know why I called you here today?"

The saint finally spoke, saying that the saint lives in the palace all the year round, and the city is quite deep, which is elusive, and Hu Zongxian is also cautious at this time, tilting his ears sideways, for fear of being convicted at every turn.

"I don't know."

This Hu Zongxian was in his forties at this time, with a beard, and his tone was quite respectful, but he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Do you know that my Ming Dynasty is now suffering from the scourge of the Japanese in the coastal area?"

"Wechen knows."

"Hmph, I think that the country is not as big as a province of mine, and now it has turned the sky upside down! If this disaster is not removed, how can I be stable? ”

Emperor Jiajing changed his words as he spoke: "Hu Zongxian, do you say yes or no?" ”

"Yes, what the Holy One said is very true." Hu Zongxian hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River, just for the horse leather shroud, to serve the imperial court!" ”

The emperor Long Yan was furious, and as a courtier, he naturally had to be in a hurry to express his determination, and Hu Zongxian hurriedly said this.

As the saying goes, the lord humiliates his ministers to death, and now the holy dragon is furious, which courtier dares to jump away? Besides, this Emperor Jiajing has a lot of thoughts, and he is obviously agitating at this time, is it possible for you to express your determination quickly and still want to die?

"Hmm." Emperor Jiajing smiled with satisfaction, those who use generals must be provoked first, just like the knife, it must be sharpened quickly to be easy to use.

"Would you like to go to Zhejiang?"

"Wechen is naturally happy to go, now the south of the Yangtze River is in trouble, as much as Zhejiang, Wechen is willing to go to the most rampant place of the Japanese Kou, to serve the court, and to contribute to the people! There are no regrets in death! ”

"Okay, I am very pleased to have a loyal minister like Hu Aiqing, I went to the Ministry of Officials to see your resume, Jiajing 19 years you served as Qingzhou Prefecture Yidu County, and then Yuyao County, Jiajing 26 years and with the imperial history patrol Xuanfu, Datong, has been quite a political achievement, the officials of the Ministry of officials also have a lot of praise for you, so I personally ordered the general, called you to Zhejiang!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen is sincerely afraid."

"Okay, there is no need to say these words, let's get down to business, I believe that before you came to this capital, you already knew that I was going to send you to Zhejiang Pingwei, tell me your method, how can the imperial court calm the current trouble?"

"Your Majesty, at the moment, the Japanese can run rampant along the coast, relying on nothing more than a momentum! And I have been a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the guards are a little empty in various places, and the coastal defense is relaxed, so Weichen went to Zhejiang this time, one is to rectify the guard to strengthen the coastal defense, and the other is to form a strong army to annihilate the Japanese in my Ming Dynasty and raise my great tomorrow's prestige! ”

Three words turned into two sentences, and Hu Zongxian roughly stated his position.

What Hu Zongxian said is actually not very outstanding, and the previous governor of Zhizhejiang actually said the same thing before taking office, but this person's ability is mediocre, and the trouble after taking office is even worse!

Emperor Jiajing was a little disappointed, the ministers shouted loudly every day, in fact, it was just a bit of a word, if they didn't pull it out, they really didn't know who was a mule and who was a horse.

It's hard to be an emperor, and thousands of people will show their loyalty, but who is loyal? Who is a traitor? Who is a capable person? Who is a philistine?

"Hmm." Emperor Jiajing was a little thoughtful, and he had high hopes for this Hu Zongxian, but is this person a showman or does he have real kung fu?

Jiajing has been the emperor for decades, and his kung fu is first-class, but his face is still inevitably a little lonely, Hu Zongxian has been in the officialdom for so long, if he can't even see such a little Taoism, it will be considered a vain life, what he just said is indeed a little too general, do you think the emperor will be disappointed in himself?

On the other hand, Emperor Jiajing's side also looked at this Hu Zongxian with blazing eyes, and his fingers couldn't help beating on the dragon case.

Even if he is competent, this person is a young man, and his official fortune has always been prosperous, will he do evil in Zhejiang and be lawless?

Most of the people with heavy hearts are deep in the city, and it is naturally not easy to trust others, and Jiajing has been the emperor for decades, and the rise and fall of the ministers have seen a lot of glory and disgrace, and at this time there is still some uncertainty in my heart.

Well, since this person is quite talented, it is better to give him a Zhejiang patrol to supervise the imperial history first, and then talk about it if it doesn't work.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Emperor Jiajing's face changed at this time, and Hu Zongxian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, did he fall out of favor?

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and there is quite a city in the saint today, and he hasn't spoken for a long time, so deep, could it be that he is going to be unlucky?

In that case, let's take out the trump card! Originally, Hu Zongxian didn't plan to say this when he met the saint, but now that he saw the emperor so deeply, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, so he sent his trump card.

"Oh? What did Aiqing say? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Hu Zongxian's cold words still surprised Jiajing a little, what did this person want to say mysteriously?

"A few days ago, Weichen came to this Beijing Division, and when he passed through Jinan, it happened that the Gongyuan posted a paper, which was a question for the candidates, and this student planned a subject on how to level the Japanese, and answered as many as eight sheets, and this also drew a boat to go up, and the Xuezheng asked to feel that this person violated the system, so he posted it, but Weichen saw that this paper was like a treasure, and always felt that the anti-Japanese proposition that this person said was feasible, so he couldn't help but take back the test paper that fell off the list......"

"Oh?" Jiajing was a little surprised: "I have long heard that you are quite arrogant, but now you are interested in a student's volume?" ”

Hu Zongxian has always cherished words like gold in front of the saint, for fear that if he said something badly, he would annoy the emperor, but now he has said so much at length that even Jiajing is a little surprised, so he said.

"Weichen just thinks that what this student said makes some sense!" Hu Zongxian said with heartfelt emotion.

"Huh." Jiajing was a little funny: "Have you ever brought the scroll with you?" Show it to me. ”

"No, I didn't." Hu Zongxian was a little surprised, cold sweat was dripping down, he didn't think about sending this killer card today, it was also a temporary idea, and the seven or eight pages of the volume naturally would not be carried with him.

"Hmm." Jiajing was a little disappointed, his eyebrows suddenly became a little tight, and he frightened Hu Zongxian even more, but fortunately, the saint was not angry, but beckoned to the eunuch next to him: "Go to Lord Hu's residence and get the scroll, I want to see, what kind of article has this Shandong student written, and he can provoke my ministers like this?" ”

"Yes." The eunuch on the side hurriedly bowed down and trotted out.

In fact, what is said on the paper is very Jiajing, as long as Hu Zongxian says it, the effect is the same, but the emperor is the lord of the world after all, and he is now curious about what this candidate wrote on the paper? The imperial examination is a major event of the country, and it is even more important for scholars here! Who dares to jump out of this imperial examination field? Jiajing was playful for a while, and suddenly he didn't gamble on this failed test paper!

……

The post station was not far from the palace, and the eunuchs were in a hurry for about half an hour before they took the failed test paper and presented it with both hands.

"Haha, let me see what kind of scroll can make our Lord Hu praise so much, and make me, the emperor of the Ninety-Five, wait for an hour!"

Jiajing laughed.

Hu Zongxian also felt a little strange, the emperor has always lived in the palace, and he has not taken care of the government for more than ten years, what is wrong now? Why is it just a barriel with a primary school student? (To be continued.) )
