Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was a long silence, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the bloody battlefield and the soaring heroism of the Ming army.

    I don¡¯t know how much time has passed, but the sky has dimly opened.

    Jiajing suddenly felt a little cold on his body, wrapped his long sleeves around his hands, and roared: "A true countryman, when the trenches were in chaos, Wang Yangming turned the tide and liberated the people. Wu Jie is my Wang Yangming."  "

    "When these words came out of the emperor's mouth, they were the highest praise, and everyone was shocked.

    Hu Dashun¡¯s eyes became even more jealous.

    Gao Gong nodded and stepped forward: "Long live, it's already morning court time. I'll leave first." He was ready to go to court.

    Jiajing has not been in court for more than ten years. It is not that Jiajing is tired of government affairs, but mainly because he finds it annoying to get up before dawn every day.  Moreover, the morning court meeting was just a formality, and there was actually nothing major to deal with.

    Daily government affairs can be handled by yourself in Xiyuan.

    Jiajing is a strong monarch. If he doesn't go to court, others can't do anything to him.

    But the ministers still had to follow the court etiquette and follow a procedure at Mao hour every day.

    Jiajing suddenly turned to Huang Jin and said: "Change into regular clothes, I want to go to court and tell the civil and military officials of the court this great news."

    Gao Gong could not remember the last time Jiajing went to court, and he was quite dissatisfied. Today, seeing the emperor change his temper, Gao Gong showed a hint of joy on his face.

    Huang Jin: "Yes, long live your Majesty, I will serve your Majesty to change your clothes right now."

    The morning meeting on this day was not as lively as Jiajing expected. News of the great victory at Hengyu came. It is said that it is a gratifying and congratulatory event for the Ming army to achieve such a great victory.

    The emperor also praised Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang for their contributions, but the ministers thought it was nothing great.  The report on Wu Jie's victory said that he would behead 30,000 people.  Everyone will get a 10% discount according to the previous rules.  Just three thousand.

    "Three thousand beheads are nothing at all. The frontier army in Datong will not report three to five thousand beheadings every year."

    Let¡¯s talk again.  The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty also looked down on military generals, but the emperor was so interested in them.  It's rare that in the last court meeting, everyone echoed.

    Jiajing was impatient to go to the morning court. Seeing that everyone was coaxing him like a three-year-old child, he felt unhappy and couldn't say a few words before walking away.

    However, some people still smelled something was wrong.

    After the dynasty dispersed, Xu Jie quickly came out of the Forbidden City without going to the cabinet.  Getting on the sedan: "Let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion, hurry up."

    Today is the day when Xu Jie gives lectures to King Yu.  The sedan went very fast.  When we arrived at the palace, it was only about seven o'clock in the future, Beijing time.

    The concierge met Xu Jie.  Feeling strange, he smiled and said, "Why did Mr. Xu come so early today? Can we have breakfast?"

    "Where is the prince?"

    Concierge: ¡°I haven¡¯t gotten up yet.¡±

    "Why haven't you gotten up yet?" Xu Jie frowned.

    The porter smiled and said: "It's no wonder that the prince got up late. What time is it now? According to the rules of the palace in the past, there is still half an hour before you can wake up. Master Xu, please go to the study to sit down and have some refreshments. You old man, today  Should we use pine nut cake or bean huang? By the way, the palace has a new southern chef. The pastry is very good, especially the mung bean cake, which is soft, waxy and oily, and has such a delicious taste. Master Xu, you are from the south, so it should suit your appetite.  "

    Although Xu Jie is the second assistant in the cabinet, he is modest and doesn't have the airs of a prime minister. The concierge and clerks in the palace are also very casual in front of him.

    But Xu Jie didn't expect it, but he had a full meal: "What are you going to have for tea? Go and invite the prince up."

    The concierge was surprised when he saw Xu Jie being so anxious and noisy. Compared with the past, he seemed to be a different person.  Only then did he remember that he was the second minister of the dignified cabinet. He hurriedly asked Xu Jie to wait in the study, and then ran to invite King Yu like a smoke.

    King Yu was reading late at night last night and was a little depressed. When Xu Jie saw him, he was still yawning: "Why did Mr. Xu Ge come here so early in the morning? Is there something important?"

    With that said, he smiled and picked up the teapot to fill Xu Jie with some water. He was also surprised.  This Xu Jie was a mature man. Although he was regarded as a member of the royal family in the eyes of the world, he never discussed government affairs in front of him and kept his duties as a minister very carefully.

    "Unlike Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, they would talk long and hard about the world's major events when they saw him, for fear of falling behind others.

    After entering the palace, he always talked about the Four Books and Five Classics according to the script, and there was never any nonsense.

    ¡°Moreover, he always comes on time when giving lectures on weekdays, neither early nor late.

     To be in such a hurry as in today's situation, I have never encountered it before.

    "My lord, stop being busy and let's get down to business." Xu Jie said with a face: "My lord, don't you want to bring down Party Yan? The opportunity has come."

    "What!" King Yu's hand trembled and he poured the hot water from the kettle onto the coffee table: "Xu Xiangwhat chance?"

    Xu Jie: "The great victory of Hengyu was announced in the morning of this morning by Wanzai himself at the Tai Chi Hall."

    King Yu calmed down and put the teapot on the small stove.  He smiled and said: "I have also heard about this, but it is not news. Two months ago, Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang led the Taizhou army to raid Hengyu Island where the Japanese pirates were entrenched, beheading a thousand people, annihilating all the stubborn enemies, and retribution of 30,000  A great victory. This Wu Shizhen is truly daring and worthy of being an unparalleled national warrior."

    He was also slightly excited in his heart. He originally thought that he planned to persuade Wu Jie to surpass Hu Zongxian and win over the powerful generals in the army.  But because of his status, it is inconvenient to intervene.  But he didn't expect that what Wu Jie did gave him a big surprise. Not only did he win over Qi Jiguang, he also killed Luo Longwen and mobilized the Qi army to take the lead in launching an offensive against the enemy.

    "There were hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates in Fujian and Zhejiang, but they could only wipe out one of them. Wu Shizhen's battle still needs to be fought."

    "Your Majesty's words are ridiculous. In my opinion, by now, I'm afraid he has wiped out all the Japanese pirates in Fujian." Xu Jie looked excited: "Your Majesty probably doesn't know that although there are many Japanese pirates in Fujian, there are only a few real Japanese pirates."  There are more than a thousand people, and the rest are refugees and fishermen who are thieves. Wu Jie occupied Hengyu as soon as he took action. This move is called straightening the heart of the paper and knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger. Once the Japanese pirates are eliminated, other refugees and fishermen can pass on the message. Therefore, I  I dare to say that the banditry in Fujian has been eliminated."

    "What!" The prince cried out in surprise.

    Xu Jie nodded: "I am in the cabinet and have heard about the military situation in Fujian."

    "Okay, okay, a hundred years of banditry, once it is eliminated, it will be a miracle!" King Yu rubbed his hands excitedly, but Xu Jie's next words were like a big thunder exploding in his heart.

    "Your Majesty, now that the Japanese pirates have been eliminated in Fujian and Zhejiang, it's time to abolish the Lijin Bureau and abolish the Zhejiang Governor's Yamen."

    Xu Jie¡¯s mature face was full of awe.

    King Yu immediately understood that Mr. Xu Ge came to the palace early in the morning to discuss Hu Zongxian's affairs with him.

    Xu Jie: "The Yan Party has been in power for many years and has been plotting evil things. Long Live also intends to eliminate it. Unfortunately, the country is using troops in the southeast, and there is still something to rely on. The disciples of Hu and Song hold the military and political power in the five southern provinces. Get rid of Song.  We must first get rid of the barbarians, otherwise it will be a big change. Now that the war is over, it is the right time."

    King Yu was a little hesitant: "The imperial court has just won a great victory, and it is necessary to remove the Zhejiang Yamen. It will be suspected of killing the donkey, and there may be material disputes."

    Xu Jie suddenly burst into laughter: "When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. It is indeed criticized by people, but is Hu Zongxian a good bow? The battle was fought by Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang, but it has nothing to do with him, Mr. Hu."

    King Yu was shaken and murmured: "Yes, the battle was fought between Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang. I have forgotten this."

    He stood up, gave Xu Jie a long bow, looked at Xu Jie with bright eyes, and his breathing quickened.  He said in a sincere tone: "Master Xu, please teach me."

    Xu Jie hurriedly helped King Yu up: "Your Majesty has killed the old minister. This matter will have to wait until Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang wipe out the Japanese pirates in Fujian. From Yichen's point of view, it will happen within this year. Before that, there is still  Please plan in advance, Your Majesty.¡±

    "Master Xu, please sit down and tell me in detail." King Yu hurriedly helped Xu Jie to the chair.

    Xu Jie touched his beard and was about to speak.

    Suddenly, someone ran past quickly and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent military information, urgent military information."

    A spy from the royal palace knelt down on the ground and handed over a secret report.

    King Wealthy opened it, took one look at it, stood up suddenly, and waved the spies out.

    When there was no one around, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, everything is ready. Master Xu, Fujian's victory news, Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang used troops in Niutian and Lindun one after another, beheading 5,000 people This is a real number, report 50,000  20,000 prisoners were captured, and 60,000 were surrendered. The banditry in Fujian was put under control The sky has eyes, bless us with the Ming Dynasty! A century-old problem can be eliminated in one day. This is the result of your majesty's character and the courage of Wu Shizhen."

    "Ah, Fujian was pacified so quickly." Xu Jie took a look at the secret report and praised him repeatedly: "This Wu Jie really has two hands. He pays equal attention to suppression and appeasement, and only kills the culprits. He also evenly distributed the wasteland along the coast to surrender.  Later, the refugees farmed, fished for agriculture, and the countryside protected each other OK, OK, I originally thought it would take a few months to wipe out the Japanese pirates in Fujian, but it didn't happen??It was done so quickly.  From this point of view, Hu Zongxian's matter can be considered in advance.  "

    King Yu: ¡°I still want to ask for advice.¡±

    Xu Jie: "The last time Zhao Wenhua was punished for the examination fraud case, several autographed letters by Hu Zongxian were discovered, which he wrote to Zhao Wenhua when he was impeached in the 38th year of Jiajing. In the letter, he begged Zhao Wenhua to help him in Yan Shifan's case.  He said good things in front of him and talked about his gratitude and filial piety to Yan and his son. Among them, he also gave 10,000 taels of silver to Zhao and 30,000 taels to Yan Shifan. The imperial envoys impeached Hu Zongxian for embezzling more than 30,000 taels of national property and destroyed the account books.  His crime is obvious, and Hu Zongxian also went to court to defend himself. At that time, His Majesty was using Hu Zongxian's use and ignored it. Now you can explain it."

    When Mr. Xu Ge said this, his expression became sharp: "There was no lijin bureau back then, and Mr. Hu's salary and money for raising integrity were not much. This man also likes to raise scholars. The seats are always full of guests and the bottles of wine are always full, so he is well-known.  , everyone praises him for his good deeds. But for the common people, this Mr. Hu has given extra gifts and tried his best to plunder, and the people are complaining, and he is really a traitor to the country!"

    After years of forbearing in front of Yan Dang, and even giving his precious granddaughter to Yan Shifan's son as a concubine, Xu Jie finally showed his teeth today.
