Can you live forever

Chapter 161
The next day, Jiajing completed the ancestor worship in Taimiao.

All the officials who got the news that Jiajing was going to make a southern tour gathered directly outside the Taimiao, and stopped Jiajing, dissuading him from making the southern tour, which would be a waste of money and people, and hoped that His Majesty would put the country first.

Jiajing didn't answer, but asked Li Shi what he thought.

Li Shi replied from the side: "Your Majesty is not in the capital, and I am afraid that government affairs will not be handled in a timely manner. The army will go south, and the land may be destroyed along the way, and the local people will waste money and money in order to entertain His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will be careful."

Jiajing said: "The capital has Aiqing sitting in charge, I am at ease."

"This……"

Li Shi had nothing to say, Jiajing said to Xia Yan again: "I want to let Aiqing accompany me on the southern tour, first go to Xianling to pay homage to Huang Kao, and Aiqing can draw up a sacrificial letter for me."

Xia Yan knew that by agreeing to draft the essay, he supported the Jiajing Southern Tour. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't refuse, and said: "I will do my best."

"good!"

Jiajing praised directly, and then ordered: "Draft the decree, the cabinet minister Xia Yan will worship Xianling for me, and he has made meritorious service in drawing up the sacrificial oration. Xia Yan will be appointed as a young teacher, a special entry to the Guanglu doctor, and Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Xia Yan suddenly opened his eyes wide.

All the officials fell silent immediately, you look at me, I look at you.

Afterwards, I felt extremely resentful towards Xia Yan, okay, yesterday you asked us to stop the southern tour, but now you have agreed and received a reward from heaven.

Shangzhu Kingdom!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this title has never appeared. Zuozhu Kingdom and Youzhu Kingdom are already the first-rank martial arts.

Is Shangzhu Kingdom still worth it?
And there are also Shaoshi and Special Jin Guanglu doctor. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has there been such an honorable person?

You Xia Yan He De He Neng!

For a while, Xia Yan felt a little alienated in the court hall. Xia Yan lowered his eyelids, feeling the gloomy atmosphere, and understood the power of Jiajing's killing.

However, he did not give up.

Instead, he knelt down and sang his thanks loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long!!!"

Now Baiguan's mentality is more complicated, jealousy is jealousy, but Xia Yan is so strong, who dares to offend him?
See this scene.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yan Song's mouth. He bowed to the officials and said, "Everyone should prepare for the southern tour as soon as possible."

Now the matter of the southern tour has been finalized, and the officials are much more pleasing to Yan Song.

They didn't dare to attack Xia Yan themselves, but they could attack Xia Yan.

You see, you, Yan Song, took so much responsibility for His Majesty on the matter of the Taimiao, but in the end, there was no reward at all. Ren Xia Yan just supported the southern tour, which is extremely honorable.

Brother Yan, can you bear this tone?

The atmosphere of the court has changed, and Yan Song has suddenly become a sweet pastry. As everyone knows, this is the double reed sung by Jiajing and Yan Song.

After the southern tour could not be changed, Jiajing directly announced that he would leave tomorrow.

All the officials were dumbfounded, how could they arrange it in just one day?Those who had to stay in Beijing stayed in Beijing, and those who accompanied them accompanied them, making preparations in a hurry.

The civil servants were miserable, but the generals and accompanying army headed by Marquis Wu Ding Guo Xun were well prepared and organized.

For this southern tour, Jiajing only brought [-] troops, not many people, but you can see the vigor and vigor of the army, and you can tell at a glance that this is a strong army.

and.

Just left the capital.

Jin Yiwei rode out in all directions, and the whole world shook in an instant. All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and local officials at all levels were like ants on a hot pot, anxiously inquiring about the route of the emperor's southern tour, and praying that they would never come to him...

Compared with the scene depicted in the "Picture of Exiting the Police and Entering the Entrance" when Zhengde went south, this time Jiajing's southern tour is obviously more chilling.

Zhengde still has the nature of playing, and he doesn't really take war too seriously.

After all, Zhengde's temple name is Wuzong, which is enough to show that his military talent is extremely high. From the time he went south, Zhengde never looked at King Ning Zhu Chenhao at all. I went to Jiangnan.

Zhengde knows who the enemy is.

However, due to personality reasons, the way of doing things was wrong. Jiajing took half of the officials of the imperial court on a southern tour, riding around all the way, taking down those that should be cleaned up and eradicated, and even saving the court's discussion.

Local officials who corrupted the law by accepting bribes and taking bribes were immediately taken down when they were found out.

Jiajing only went to Baoding Mansion, and among the teams heading south, there were hundreds of prisoners in the prison vans... I really don't know how many prisoners this Majesty wants to catch when he travels around the south of the Yangtze River.

Such an action directly frightened the accompanying officials into silence.

until.

When Jiajing stayed in Baoding, a big fire burned the palace at night, and nearly a hundred eunuchs and maids were burned to death. Jiajing was carried out by Lu Bing, the commander of Jinyiwei, who rushed into the fire and carried it out.

Otherwise, they will also be buried in a sea of ​​flames.

Getting off Lu Bing's back, Jiajing looked at the hundreds of officials who had already gathered outside the palace, and glanced at them who were bowing their heads. He didn't say anything, but looked back at the palace, looked at the fire, and said Ju Zhengde said when he watched the Qianqing Palace on fire in the Leopard Room: "It's just a big firework."

That night.

The heads of all the accompanying prisoners fell to the ground, and Jin Yiwei searched even harder...

……

This is what happened in Jiajing these days.

When Jiajing arrived in Baoding Mansion, the martial arts conference had already been going on for three days. At this time, Zhang Zhixiang only received the news of Jiajing's southern tour.

"The emperor's southern tour is of great significance."

"Where he can go smoothly, it means that it is still the territory of the emperor. If Jiajing can go to Nanjing to pay homage to Xiaoling, it will be of great significance."

"Although scholars all over the world come from the same lineage, there are also people who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"Only when the emperor is strong, can someone be willing to sacrifice his life for the emperor."

"Otherwise, if the emperor cannot protect himself, who would dare to do things for him?"

Wang Zhi understood the significance of Jiajing's southern tour. Jiajing has such courage, so it is worthwhile for the Wang family to do business with him and join hands to create that prosperous world.

However, Zhang Zhixiang believed that the demonstration in Jiajing was only one of the purposes, and more importantly, it should be in the dispute between Xu Wang, no, it is better to say it is the control of the sea.

"What will happen to the Xu family if the capital sends troops to ban the sea and clean up the pirates?"

A gleam flashed in Wang Zhi's eyes, and he said, "No matter how powerful the Xu family is at sea, they will eventually rely on land. If the imperial court bans the sea and stops world trade, neither the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River nor the big businessmen will be able to sit still."

"They must rebel, or bring bandits into the country."

"Strive to defeat the imperial army in fact and resume trade."

"At that time, most of the Xu family's energy may be transferred to the battle on land, and the control of the ocean will definitely be weakened..."

"Jiajing is cooperating with us?"

Zhang Zhixiang closed his eyes, and he told Jiajing about the history of later generations. Jiajing's understanding of the world pattern was no weaker than that of the Wang family.

The Jiajing Japanese Rebellion, which would have erupted more than ten years ago, seems to have come earlier.

As long as the rebellion is unknown, the only name that can be chosen by the gentry and wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River is Japanese pirates...

(PS: Historically, Jiajing toured the south for 18 years, when Xia Yan was the chief assistant of the cabinet. There were three fires on the south tour road, all of which burned Jiajing's palace, and it was obvious that the emperor was burned to death.)
