Chapter 518: Marriage
On the day of the wedding, the Xu family in Hangzhou was already surrounded by water, and the sedan chair could not be placed, so it had to be lined up several miles away.
Wang Xue, the head of Wang Gen, and Taibao Xie Qian, two important figures, are in charge, not to mention those who received the invitation, that is, those who did not receive the invitation, I am afraid that they also want to get together.
Such appeal is naturally extraordinary.
At noon, there were guests again, but it was someone from Nanjing, and many Nanjing officials came in a team to congratulate them, including Li Shi, the governor of Jiangnan.
Li Shi, the governor of Jiangnan, works in Songjiang Mansion, and now he heard that Xu Qian was married, so he naturally came, but his face was not good-looking, and he looked sick.
As the governor of Jiangnan, he was ordered to pacify the widows, but the result was that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and he fell such a big heel, which is also considered his bad luck.
In fact, it is light to say that he is unlucky, after he took office, he couldn't understand the situation at first, after all, he is a noble Hanlin bachelor, how much can he know about military affairs? So at the beginning, almost all of them listened to the people who flickered, today's victory, tomorrow's victory, at first, it may be said that he can't see everything, and he is complacent about it, but later, after he gradually found out the strange, instead of choosing to play the book, he chose to cover the lid, which is a bit rebellious.
If it weren't for him, the governor of Jiangnan, such a major event would not have happened in Hangzhou.
In fact, Xu Qian also understands him very well, he stayed in Hanlin for half his life, and suddenly released him to be a feudal official, at first he was confused, and he was fooled by the people below, and when he knew the truth, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but think that if he was exposed at this time, the Son of Heaven would be furious. The consequences of anger will definitely be angered by him, after all, a lot of good news was handed over from his governor's yamen, why didn't he expose it at this time? So, this noble governor had no choice but to choose a nest of snakes and rats and collude, he had no choice but to mess with those who deceived and deceived the subordinates, and continued to send the so-called good news. continued to report the credit, I just hope that it can be delayed for a day or two, and after a year or two, with outstanding political achievements, I will be transferred back to Beijing. As for Jiangnan's affairs, it naturally has nothing to do with him.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky, and finally someone reported and exposed, and the imperial court sent a messenger to investigate, and at the same time, the Japanese raided Hangzhou. The world shook.
Although the imperial court had not yet decreed to punish him at this time, Li Shi had a premonition that his good days were coming to an end, waiting for Xu Qian's holy decree to arrive. His decree will come, and this governor will surely be gone, not only that, but I am afraid that this great future will also be ruined. Now don't talk about entering the cabinet, even whether you can keep the black yarn is a matter of two things.
Li Shi was sick. He was very sick, but he still reluctantly participated in Xu Qian's wedding banquet, but at this time, his illustrious governor had become a plague god, and when he was eating, he wanted to sit with Xie Qian, Wang Gen and several high-ranking officials in Nanjing, but obviously, many people frowned, he was a very knowledgeable person, so he had to squeeze with others, and the political envoys, torture envoys and transporters, and scholars who sat with him talked and laughed one by one, but no one paid attention to him, and stayed away from his attitude.
This drowsy and noble governor, with indescribable embarrassment and anger, actually fainted.
Instead, several people from the Xu family carried him to the backyard and called a doctor to come for treatment.
The banquet naturally continued, and outside the Xu family, there was also a voice of praise, Bachelor Xu did not follow the rules and married his second wife, although it was against etiquette, but his noble sentiments were still a model for scholars. In many places, firecrackers have also been lit, today is not a big day, everyone just feels festive, feels that Qu Xing is married, and can get a little joy with Lehe.
Wedding.
The red lid has been lifted, and under the hijab, there is a delicate and touching and shy, the beauty under the lamp is the most beautiful, especially the Chu Chu moving state, which makes Xu Qian, who has eaten a few glasses of water and wine, fascinated.
Xu Qian coughed a few times, slightly embarrassed, and then called: "Lady......"
Zhao Mengting wanted to speak, but she stopped talking, but after all, she was too shy and didn't know how to talk about it.
Xu Qian also seems to realize that sometimes, it is better to say that it is better to do it, it is Qingliu who plays tricks, Qingliu is a slut, and it is only possible to do it with a real knife, and to do a practical thing is more realistic than to wear out the skin of the righteous and awe-inspiring, and the thousands of sentences are full of flowers.
A thousand words, not as good as ......
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A fast horse sent a letter to the Beijing Division.
At this time, although the Beijing division has not yet reached the spring of March, it has already had a bit of spring.
The peach trees in the Forbidden City Forest Garden have produced flower bones one by one, and the pink but unbloomed flower bones trembled slightly with the wind under the dew of the morning sun, but also emitted a trace of floral fragrance.
After experiencing the cold winter wax moon, such a scenery is enough to be cherished and made people particularly pleasing to the eye.
The earth dragon is still burning in the warm pavilion, and the raging charcoal fire under the ground will burn the entire warm pavilion with steaming steam.
Although the temperature here is not as hot as the scorching heat, it also taught Jiajing to drag his coat and go to his jacket, leaving only a well-tailored light and thin gown, under his chin, a short beard of inches in length, the whole person looks more energetic, and his face is a little more weathered and mature.
The good news came out last night, and the six cabinet departments had already caused a sensation, and no one would have thought that it would be a big problem, and even in the words of the ministers, it was simply a major matter related to the survival of the society.
Such a difficult problem to solve, the chickens and dogs on the Jingshi side jumped, and after making a fuss for so long, some people clamored to appease, and some people clamored to quell the rebellion, and they fought for several months, and the result was ...... The end of the matter.
Jiajing carefully looked at the details of the Pingwai, first sowing discord, leading out a part of the Japanese and annihilating them all, then directly attacking Shuangyu Port, the nest of the Japanese invaders, and finally attacking the heart, and then another massacre.
Such a method cannot be described as ruthless.
What's more, the strength of the Royal Captain is also breathtaking.
Of course, the ministers couldn't imagine that the reason why the royal lieutenant was able to win seven battles and seven victories and annihilate more than 1,000 Japanese was because the royal lieutenant gave full play to his strengths, defeated the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths, and constantly wore down the Japanese with guò exercise and endurance.
It's over, it's over, and it's even too hasty, making it feel like a dream.
Now that Hangzhou has been recovered, and the nest of the Japanese invaders has also fallen into the hands of the Ming army, it is conceivable that Jiangnan has ushered in at least ten years of peace.
And then, it seems to be such a matter of aftermath.
Regarding the aftermath, Xu Qian has already sent a few books.
Jiajing naturally paid great attention to Xu Qian's opinions, because he felt more and more that these ministers in the court were very unreliable, and it was far from enough to count on them from the Zhu family.
Xu Qian made several demands in total, one of which was to expand the rights of the sea route to pacify the envoys for two reasons, on the one hand, to get money, and on the other hand, to continue to clear the widows.
Naturally, there is no need to say that the money comes, anyway, the money is into the account of the inner treasury, which is beneficial to Jiajing, as the Son of Heaven, although it is said that I am the world, but the silver of the treasury, the root does not have your share, only the silver of the inner treasury is the Son of Heaven's own, that is to say, the inner treasury is his own son, how much silver in the inner treasury means, how much the Son of Heaven can do, how much power to speak.
Since the sea route appeases the secretary and can get money, then why not?
And secondly, it is the problem of the Qing Dynasty, the previous policy of the Ming Dynasty, has always been the ban on the sea, the ban on the sea has bred many problems, that is, many chaotic people and prisoners and the Japanese of various countries, sailors, and warriors regard this ownerless ocean as their own adventure paradise, although the current level of the Japanese is far from enough, this is like the Mongols outside the Guan, even if the Emperor Taizu and the emperor have repeatedly swept the desert, but after a few years, the beacon fire in the border town has risen again, there is no difference between the Japanese and the Tatars outside the Guan, they are uncontrolled, Make a living by plundering, the more you forbid the sea, the more retreat, the easier it will be for them to recuperate, and when the time is ripe, they will have to land to loot and rob, after all, it is a matter of ten thousand profits, Jiangnan is rich, and it is strange not to rob.
If we want to solve this problem once and for all, we must achieve effective management, and in order to achieve effective management, it is inevitable to use the Shanghai Road to appease the envoys, on the one hand, we must let the sea route pacify the envoys with the power of the imperial court, formulate rules, and let everyone act according to this rule, on the other hand, we must also accumulate enough strength to crack down on the illegal smugglers and the Japanese pirates, and emerge a stubble, harvest a stubble, so that the Japanese can never become a climate.
Of course, if you want to manage effectively, you must have money, and the cost is very large, where does the money come from, and is the imperial court willing to allocate hundreds of thousands of silver every year to raise sailors? If the imperial court refuses, then it can only be self-reliant, and self-reliance is to give the sea and land pacification envoys the right to monopolize, through guò trade, trade with various countries, and obtain a large amount of money, and this money, part of which is used to raise the fleet, and part of it, is naturally handed over to the inner treasury.
This mention is obviously a bit extraordinary, not that it shakes the national policy, but obviously, it is equivalent to the imperial court giving the sea route pacification envoy in the sea a great power, these rights, no less than the British granted to the East India Company in that year, judicial, military, administrative, every right, should not be underestimated.
