Jiajing may be the smartest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. You should know that the first thing that Zhu Dijing, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, did after he was rarely attained, was exactly the same as his nephew, and reduced the vassal states.

Therefore, the vassal kings in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were basically all rebuked and abolished. Jiajing, who unexpectedly ascended the throne, showed extraordinary political struggles and tenacious will from the beginning, which proved that he was of extraordinary qualifications and extremely talented.

However, after all, without the experience of perfecting the development of the crown prince, Emperor Jiajing showed a different thinking pattern from his ancestors and descendants in many aspects.

For example, Emperor Jiajing was largely at will when dealing with many things.

The earliest Fang Xianfu, later Zhang Cong, Xia Yan, and now Li Mo, were all appreciated by Emperor Jiajing and even promoted to the position in a very short time.

In other words, as long as you fall into the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, you can easily achieve success.

Of course, if you are rejected by Emperor Jiajing, you will suffer a very rapid decline. Li Mo in history is very aggressive this year, but in the second year, he was imprisoned by Emperor Jiajing and died of depression.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing now likes the young man in front of him very much. He speaks clearly and speaks well, and has extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance.

Well, Emperor Jiajing is a Yan Party. He has basically no ugly ministers who have been favored over the years... Even Xu Jie, who is short and tall, is considered to be pretty.

"The head of the Songjiang case, Nanzhili passed the provincial examination, Lu Shusheng's disciple." Emperor Jiajing chuckled and said, "I guess next spring exam should be easy to get."

Uh, Qian Yuan didn't understand and was still stunned. Huang Jin, who was next to him, covered his mouth and said angrily: "I'm stupid. The Jinshi is the disciple of the emperor."

"Oh, student, thank Your Majesty Long's kindness." Qian Yuan quickly bowed.

Emperor Jiajing laughed and waved to Qian Yuan to stand up, "After more than ten days of major changes, he can still be ranked in the Nanzhili provincial examination. He is worthy of being a young talent."

What can Qian Yuan say... he can only try to squeeze out a shy smile.

Emperor Jiajing put away his smile, pondered for a moment and asked the first question, "Who is leading the army when the Taiping Mansion was wiped out all the Japanese pirates at night?"

“No one leads.”

Qian Yuan's answer was very quick and beyond the expectations of Emperor Jiajing.

He lowered his eyes slightly and stared at the gold bricks on the ground. Qian Yuan said, "Actually, there is an answer to this question if there is another way to ask. Who killed that group of Japanese pirates that night?"

After a pause, Qian Yuan raised his head and spit out clearly in a calm tone, "It's a student."

This is the problem that troubles Emperor Jiajing these days. The Japanese pirates traveled more than a thousand miles to attack Nanjing. Who wiped out this group of Japanese pirates? Is it the governor of Zhejiang Hu Zongxian? Or the governor of Yingtian Cao Bangfu?

The news sent to Nanjing was mixed, some were showing their merits for Hu Zongxian, some spoke for Cao Bangfu, and some cursed Duke of Wei Xu Pengju.

In fact, the answer to this question cannot be determined whether Hu Zongxian or Cao Bangfu will take over as the governor of Zhejiang, but Emperor Jiajing never hopes that he will be teased by his ministers.

Emperor Jiajing lived in Xiyuan to practice Taoism all year round and rarely summoned court officials, but his personality determined that he always tried to control everything... This was also the main reason why the Jinyiwei was so powerful during the Jiajing dynasty.

Emperor Jiajing had countless speculations about this issue and had also seen various rumors circulating in the Middle and Southeast after Lu Bing gave a secret commentary, but he never thought that the most impossible speculation was the truth.

"More than a hundred Japanese pirates..." Huang Jin on the side stuttered, "It is said that more than five thousand soldiers and civilians died in their hands, you...you are alone..."

"More than a hundred Japanese pirates landed in Haiyan to attack Beixin Pass. When they traveled more than a thousand miles to reach Taiping Prefecture, there were 39 real Japanese soldiers left." Qian Yuan said slowly, "I am the only one, a dagger, and killed 32 people. Then Tian Zhou wolf soldiers entered the village."

Emperor Jiajing stared at Qian Yuan with his eyes narrowed. He didn't think this young man would tell such a lie that was easily exposed in front of him, but he needed an explanation.

"It's simple to say." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Japanese pirates are also humans. They want to eat and drink soup, and the students have given medicine."

"Puff!"

Huang Jin, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing out loud. Last year, four hundred Japanese pirates were captured in Linpingshan in the war, which was the largest number of prisoners since the anti-Japanese war... The previous record was thirteen.

Huang Jin still remembers the distorted face of Lu Bing when he talked about the inside story of the battle in Linpingshan, and also remembers the laughter of Emperor Jiajing at that time.

"Use the same trick again..." A smile appeared on Emperor Jiajing's face, "After applying medicine, then killing all the Japanese pirates alone?"

"Of course it's not that easy." Qian Yuan licked his lips, "That's a sleep-inducing medicine. He put it in mung bean soup, got up in the middle of the night, holding a dagger..."

"The dagger stabbed his chest after covering his mouth with his hands... his body was covered with blood, and he looked like a demon..."

"I remember that night the moonlight is bright..."

Looking at the young man's brows gradually shrinking, Huang Jin swallowed his saliva, and a scene appeared in his mind for no reason. The moonlight shone across the village. The young man, who was like a bloody man, walked on the village path with a dagger in his hand, and behind him was a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"I remember killing thirty-one real Japanese soldiers and happened to meet the Japanese pirate leader and get up at night." Qian Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "This thief is very skilled in martial arts, fierce and violent, and has no less than a thousand lives in his hands."

Although the young man was sitting in front of him, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but feel nervous, "What happened later?"

"The dagger stabbed the shoulder, tangled and rolled, and three head hammers." Qian Yuan grinned, "and... the student bit him to death."

The empty back hall fell into silence, as if a cold wind was drilling into the gap and hovering around the three of them. Huang Jin glanced at Qian Yuan's white teeth and quickly twisted his head and didn't dare to look again.

"Once this move is spread, how many people in the world are willing to interact with students?"

"But the students dare not deceive His Majesty."

Emperor Jiajing's expression was slightly moved. It was indeed true that the scholars could be famous for killing Japanese soldiers, but they wanted to kill Japanese pirates with their own words... They still have a reputation, but not all of them were famous.

"The Japanese pirates traveled thousands of miles, burned, killed and looted, and killed unarmed people at will. Wherever they passed, they were all devastated and wailed everywhere."

Qian Yuan was already a little choked and his words were intermittent.

"Students witnessed it with their own eyes, and what they heard with their own ears..."

"The child who has not yet learned to speak, the old farmer who is still working in the fields..."

"The father lost his son, the son lost his mother, and the husband lost his wife..."

Qian Yuan stood up and bowed to the ground, "The student just wanted to cut him into pieces, but he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood..."

Big tears fell on the bricks. Qian Yuan, who thought he was just performing, was filled with hatred and sorrow. Those scenes he tried to forget were afraid that he would entangle him in his life.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly stood up, walked over a few steps, helped Qian Yuan up with his own hands, and even patted Qian Yuan's already wet back of his hands intimately to show comfort.

"A student, who is only twenty years old, saw the tragic situation, resolutely killed the Japanese regardless of his own safety. Not to mention just biting to death, even if he eats his meat and drinks his blood, it is natural."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan, who woke up, bowed to the ground again.

"Get up." Huang Jin came over and helped Qian Yuan up, "Come on, have a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

"It should be that although our family is a servant, we admire this feat. In the future, some people will make a fuss and we will slap him." Huang Jin asked with a smile: "If you bite that guy to death, where are the remaining Japanese pirates?"

Qian Yuan held the tea and continued, "It was just the luck of the students. He thought he would die of the Japanese pirates, so he made up his mind to let the Japanese pirate leader be buried with him... It happened that night that wolf soldiers attacked at night, and wiped out the remaining Japanese pirates."

"Tianzhou Wolf Soldier?" Emperor Jiajing, who calmed down, asked, "Who led the troops?"

Qian Yuan hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Zhong Nan, the leader of the wolf soldier in Tianzhou, but the one who actually commanded the troops... was the leader of the guards summoned by the students, so he said just now that no one led the troops."

"The guard leader?"

"Since the Japanese pirates three years ago, students have summoned dozens of guards, most of whom are the children of the tenants in Songjiang. Chongde, Jiading and Linpingshan have been well-known in all the battles." Qian Yuan explained carefully: "The leader is Yang Wen from Taizhou. Although this man is young, he has strategies, is proficient in military tactics, and is brave and good at fighting."

"Taizhou is the Fuzhou where Japanese pirates attacked the most. Yang Wen was angry all day long and he was desperate whenever the Japanese were killed. Wusong General Yu Dayou and Zhejiang guerrilla Qi Jiguang all wanted to summon him to join the army, but Yang Wen was rescued by his students three years ago, so he refused to leave."

"Since the student was abducted and held by Japanese pirates, Yang Wen led the wolf soldiers guarding Hotan Zhou to pursue him all the way, and he was in charge of the matter."

It is helpless to push the credit to Yang Wen. Zhong Nan was sent by Hu Zongxian himself. Qian Yuan really didn't want to choose between Hu Zongxian and Cao Bangfu without any signs.

And Wang Yi... If Emperor Jiajing comes to summon him, and if he is recognized as Zeng Xian's old subordinate... In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Qian Yuan simply asked Wang Yi not to go to Beijing this time.

Emperor Jiajing asked a few more questions before sighing: "There is no shortage of loyal and brave men in the world, why is the Japanese riots in the southeast slow to perish?"

Qian Yuan closed his mouth, but his own question had not been finished yet.

Sure enough, the next moment, Huang Jin asked the question that made outsiders most puzzled.

"We have been from Huizhou Prefecture to Taiping Prefecture for nearly a thousand miles, and the Japanese pirates have been snatched away... and can you still gain the trust of the Japanese pirates, get hurt, and cook food and accommodation for them?"

Qian Yuan was kind of inspiration, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. This matter has its own reasons, but it's a long story."
