Beijing, Yanfu.

"What do they want to do! Do you want to force the whole of Zhejiang to mess up? ”

After Yan Shifan received the letter from Hu Zongxian from his father, he slapped the table angrily.

But Yan Song still looked like an old god, and after reading the content of the letter, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"You go and send the previous letter to Hu Zongxian, and let him be on guard." Yan Song opened his eyes and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, the boy will go down and command." Yan Shifan bowed and saluted.

"Hurry up, it's time for the cabinet meeting later, don't miss the hour."

"Yes."

Forbidden City, Cabinet.

Several palanquins of different colors were parked outside, and the cabinet ministers each got down from the palanquin, Yan Shifan and Gao Gong couldn't help but feel disgusted after seeing each other, and snorted coldly and turned their faces away.

Obviously, both sides received letters from their subordinates, and after receiving the letter sent by Tan Lun, Xu Jie was deeply shocked by the cruel methods of the Yan Party, and even arrested the dean of a college, in a vain attempt to block the mouths of the people in the world, and strengthened his determination to eliminate the Yan Party.

And Yan Shifan felt that these Qingliu did not hesitate to make the whole of Zhejiang chaotic for their own interests, so as to hinder the policy of changing rice to mulberry, and they were great traitors of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

When the mask of warmth is completely torn apart, what remains is a bloody reality.

Along the way, the five pavilion elders were silent, and there was no greeting between Xu Jie and Yan Song.

……

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

A shrill voice came, the five cabinet ministers and the members of the celebrant knelt on the ground, Jiajing led Lu Fang into the cabinet, and then Jiajing sat behind the bead curtain, and Lu Fang came straight to the side of the celebrant and stood still.

"Get up." Jiajing smiled and waved his hand, letting everyone calm down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Now that Your Majesty has arrived, let's begin today's cabinet meeting." After Lu Fang sat down in his position, he nodded at Yan Song and Xu Jie, and spoke.

"Hmm." Yan Song and Xu Jie both nodded, agreeing with Lu Fang's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhang Juzheng has a play!"

"Speak." From behind the bead curtain came Jiajing's slightly lazy voice.

"Your Majesty has put your ministers in charge of training for most of the 15,000 soldiers who have been trained! In addition, the ships used for naval operations have also been built, and they will be able to go to sea for training on the same day. ”

"As for the guard, the minister has organized the brave and skilled soldiers in the guard into a separate battalion, and there are 11,000 soldiers on the record! These items cost a total of 2,893,200 taels of silver! ”

The high arch on the side of the 'hiss' couldn't help but gasp when he heard that this item cost so much silver.

"How soon will these 26,000 soldiers be able to form combat effectiveness?" Jiajing behind the bead curtain heard this, and his tone couldn't help but bring a little urgency.

"Your Majesty, it will take at least three months to fully form combat effectiveness." Zhang Juzheng bowed in response.

"Okay, you're doing a great job!" Behind the bead curtain came Jiajing's praise.

Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, listened to Zhang Juzheng's report, and couldn't help but clench his fists, with these 26,000 soldiers here, the reforms he wanted to implement next could also be carried out smoothly, whether it was to reduce clan expenses or to abolish the guards, he needed to have an army in his hands that was completely obedient to his orders in order to be carried out smoothly, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After Zhang Juzheng's report was finished, Yan Song took out the letter sent to him by Hu Zongxian, and said loudly: "This is a letter sent from Zhejiang by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, from Zhejiang, which says that some people with ulterior motives have recently gathered together in Zhejiang to lash out at the imperial court's national policy of changing rice to mulberry!" ”

"And these people also instigated the peasants to openly rebel against the government's measurement of the land, and killed the officials of the imperial court, Gao Hanwen, who had previously been sent by the imperial court to measure the land, was poisoned by this man, and the soldiers who accompanied him were all killed by the mob, and their bodies were hung from trees."

"What? There is such a thing! Xu Jie's face was shocked, and he took the letter from Yan Song's hand to check it.

After Xu Jie finished opening the contents of the letter, he slammed the table: "How can this be true, presumably these people must be spies sent by the Japanese Invaders, who have taken the benefits of the Japanese Invaders to disturb the peace of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"I don't think these people were sent by the pirates, but like they were the hands of some people." Yan Shifan on the side sneered and sneered.

"Little Pavilion Elder, what do you mean by this?" Gao Gong heard this, and his face was unswerving.

"What do I mean, don't you understand? As far as I know, Lu Dongxing of the White Egret Academy mentioned in the letter admires you quite a lot! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all cabinet ministers of His Majesty, how dare we do things that form a party for personal gain! ”

"Hmph, how to know yourself, don't think you're clean! Not long ago, your nephew Gao Cai accepted a bribe of 800,000 taels. ”

When Gao Gong heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly knelt down to the figure behind the bead curtain and explained: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this matter!" ”

Then Gao Gong turned around viciously to look at Yan Shifan, and said coldly: "Xiao Ge Lao, not long ago, someone sent 500,000 taels of silver tickets to your ninth aunt's wife, how do you explain this." ”

"I... You..."Yan Shifan pointed to the high arch kneeling on the ground, and wanted to explain out loud.

'Boom! Jiajing, behind the bead curtain, couldn't help but get bored when he heard Yan Shifan and Gao Gong attacking each other, and then knocked on the jade pan standing next to the dragon chair, signaling to skip this topic.

"Okay, let's discuss the matter, don't talk about these things, this is the cabinet, not the vegetable market!" Lu Fang, who was on the side, also came forward in time to comfort.

"Your Majesty, the current form in Zhejiang is so treacherous and changeable, please send more officials to Zhejiang, speed up the measurement of land, and implement the change of rice to mulberry in advance!"

Yan Song knelt down tremblingly and pleaded to the figure behind the bead curtain.

"Your Majesty, please give permission!" Yan Shifan also knelt in the footsteps of his father Yan Song.

"Your Majesty, we also ask that more officials be sent to Zhejiang to do a good job of supervision, so as to prevent someone from wantonly causing trouble." Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng knelt down together and pleaded to the figure behind the bead curtain.

"Oh, the ministers are determined to share the worries of the court, and that's good! However, at present, the form of Zhejiang is so complicated, it is better not to send people to make trouble for Hu Zongxian. Jiajing behind the bead curtain chuckled and refused.

Seeing that the ministers still wanted to continue to ask for their lives, Jiajing immediately changed his words and said coldly: "Also, don't think that I don't know what calculations you have in your hearts!" If you stir up chaos in Zhejiang, and the court can't collect taxes, how many of your heads are enough for me to cut off? ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins!" Seeing that the emperor was murderous, the ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground, and did not dare to mention the matter of sending additional officials to Zhejiang.

"Changing rice to mulberry must be carried out, and as for those who bewitch the people to rise up and make trouble, they must be severely punished! Don't let any of them go, do you understand what I said? ”

"Minister, understood!"
