prosperous age

Chapter 105 Chapter 105

After another drunken night, Wei Guangde woke up from his sleep.

After the previous exams, Zeng Yuanshu and the others had never seen such a good drinking and gambling.

That's right, I'm all nervous now, and I can only anesthetize myself by drinking, so as not to worry about the results of the hospital exam.

After Wei Guangde got up and washed, he went downstairs, and before he had time to ask the shopkeeper to bring him breakfast, a little book boy ran in from outside.

"What's the matter with you? You're so reckless."

An acquainted student next to him scolded.

"My lord, I'm sorry, we panicked too."

"What's the matter? Your son shouldn't be up yet, what should you do if you rushed upstairs so recklessly and frightened your son?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The little bookboy looked aggrieved, but maybe he was in a hurry to run, his face was still flushed and sweating profusely, so he didn't care to wipe it off.

"Tell me, why is it so urgent?"

The young man continued.

"The Tribute Academy is going to publish the list."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, the little book boy should be sent by his son to go out every morning to check the news from the Gongyuan.

That's right, these scholars are still here now, which one is not for the list at the entrance of the Gongyuan.

"Is it announced?"

The young man who spoke suddenly stood up, scaring the little bookboy again.

"Then why don't you hurry up and notify Brother Huang?"

Wei Guangde was shocked when he heard the little bookboy said that the Gong Yuan was going to publish a list, and he didn't feel like sitting down to eat immediately, but got up and went upstairs to find Zeng Yuanshu.

"clang"

A crisp sound echoed in the spacious room. The windows around the room were closed, and the door was also closed at this time, making the whole huge room look dark. If it weren't for the little light from the glazed tiles on the roof and the surrounding lights, Countless candles really make it hard to see the situation in the room.

The house is very big, the walls are very clean, the beams and pillars are carved with paintings, and the furnishings in the house don't seem to be many, it seems a bit simple.

A veil is hung in the room, and a screen is used to divide the whole room into two rooms, inside and outside.

After the sound of exhaustion, several people in purple clothes and scarlet robes in the outer room hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to look up, but they all pricked up their ears to listen to the voice from the inner room.

"I entrusted this ancestral land to you, is this how you repay me?
In February, I Da led troops to harass Datong, and in April he ran to Liaodong. Do you still want him to come to the capital again, so that I can give him the position so that you can kneel down and worship the new master? "

There were bursts of roars from the inner room, making everyone in the outer room not only sweat on their foreheads, but they still knelt there and did not dare to move, letting the sweat drip on the bluestone board.

"Good now, in April, I remember it was in April, and the memorial was made in Nanjing to mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals from the south of the Yangtze River, and then what did you give me?
The whole of Zhejiang has been turned upside down by more than [-] Japanese pirates, Ningbo, Taizhou, and Wenzhou have lost their cities and territories, and two local officials appointed by me have also died. It is appalling, appalling.

There are also those guards, who have been defeated in several battles, and they are not ashamed to panic when they say that the Japanese pirates are brave and good at fighting.

Is the army of millions in the south of the Yangtze River all lambs to be slaughtered?They are all lambs, what use is it for me to raise them? "

The master's voice was very harsh and sharp, with strong penetrating power, which directly made the eunuchs waiting outside the house shudder.

Here is Yongshou Palace, located in Xiyuan.

Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan after the change of Renyin Palace and has always lived here.

Longevity and longevity, I am afraid that it is also the expectation of Emperor Jiajing's hope that he will live the same life as the sky, live forever, and enjoy the supremacy of the world forever.

But at this time, although the sky was clear and bright, it was covered with dark clouds in Xiyuan, probably because the master of this time was just when his anger broke out, and there was really nothing for him to worry about.

Before An Da besieged Beijing, the courtiers found many reasons to prevent him from sending troops to retaliate.

Well, for him, who is extremely smart, the fact that the Tartars were able to fight in the capital had a big impact on him. This also shows that the current situation of the northern frontier army is probably similar to that of the Beijing camp.

However, he was still arbitrary and insisted that they hurry up and prepare for the Northern Expedition. In fact, it was just a wake-up call for these civil servants and military generals, hoping that the Ming army's combat power could recover a little bit, and the appearance would not be too ugly.

But what is the reward for waiting?
The Mongolian Tartars directly robbed the horse market team, and continued to raise troops to invade the border. Today is Datong urgent report, tomorrow is Liaodong asking for help. Now it is even better, and Jiangnan is also in chaos.

Jiangnan, which has been in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, is still being harassed by mere Japanese pirates, and they have taken down many counties in one go, and the Zhejiang Guards have suffered heavy losses.

"I don't want to listen to the report now. Your cabinet and the Sixth Ministry will give me the charter today. I don't want to hear the news of the Japanese pirates doing harm to the south of the Yangtze River."

Seeing that the three cabinet ministers and the six ministries below all knelt down, Emperor Jiajing seemed a little uninterested.

Jiangnan was an important financial and taxation area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, so there should be no chaos.

It's messed up, where does the military salary of the northern frontier army come from?Where does the grain in the capital come from?And where do you get the goods you need for your cultivation?

Emperor Jiajing looked at the people in the outer room through the veil, and the leader, an old man in his seventies who knelt down in the room, slowly raised his head and reported: "Your Majesty, the ministers and other cabinet ministers and the six ministries have also discussed for a long time. The matter in the south of the Yangtze River is very important, if we can't find a perfect solution, it may be difficult to cure the Japanese plague in the south of the Yangtze River."

"A surefire solution? No, is that just to let Jiangnan continue to be chaotic? Yan Song, you should tell me about it."

Emperor Jiajing was really angry when he heard that the cabinet did not have a charter to deal with the Japanese plague in the south of the Yangtze River.

In May, the Jiangnan battle reports were spread to the capital one after another, which had already shocked the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. As a result, two months later, the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry still had no way to deal with it.

"Your Majesty's concern for the thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River is a virtue of good life. The emperor's grace is mighty, but if the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos, the capital cannot be chaotic."

Yan Song said that he paused for a while, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the inner room. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, he felt relieved that he didn't hear the thunder and anger, and continued:
"In the event, Wang Guozhen and the censor Zhu Ruideng reported that the unrest in the sea was caused by Zhu Wan's offending and inspection of the capital censor. Although there were Haidao deputy envoys, they had light powers and were inconvenient to act. Such as Ding Zhan and Li Wenjin had been in a hurry. Things can be verified.

Please restore the capital censor to inspect Fujian and Zhejiang, and use the power of the governor to make him control the provinces so that he can be blamed for his success.

In addition, we also discussed that the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang should each add a general to be stationed in Zhabianhai. "

Having said this, Yan Song looked into the back room again, and then regained the room to climb.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing's voice came out again from the back room.

"This time the Japanese pirates caused disasters in Duofu County, Zhejiang Province. The local chief minister has a great responsibility, so it should be investigated and dealt with.

For those who fight bravely and are dedicated to their duties, those who deserve to be commended and promoted should show me the charter as soon as possible.

Restoration of the capital censor, you take out a list for my review. "
