If there were censors in succession before, and even the Minister of Revenue Fang Dun wrote a letter to the clerk and even the Minister of Revenue Fang Dun, who proposed to open a maritime ban and trade, had not yet attracted the attention of Emperor Jiajing, but the rumors that Hu Zongxian was recruiting Wang Zhi immediately... Emperor Jiajing immediately locked in Qian Yuan.

The reason is obvious. A Zhejiang Governor, who was born in two Jinshi, held the power of several provinces and a famous Japanese pirate leader, secretly communicated with the news. Hu Zongxian could not block the news. Once such a thing is leaked, it will be easy to be ruined.

Not to mention that Hu Zongxian and Wang Zhi are still fellow villagers.

There are rumors in Beijing now, some say that they have a nose and eyes. Hu Zongxian returned to his hometown to mourn for six years and met Wang Zhi, the owner of Wufeng ship who failed to study and could only go out for business. The two made friends...

But some rumors are more vicious, saying that Hu Zongxian not only colluded with Wang Zhi, but also colluded with Xu Hai, intending to rebel and rule the river... Some people believe this kind of nonsense!

There is no way, just coincidental, Huizhou is a mountainous area and does not rely on the sea. But from the Xu brothers to Xu Weixue, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are all from Huizhou.

Imperial power is an insurmountable high-voltage line in feudal dynasties. Once such rumors came out, even Yan Shifan was not convenient to stop the rumors. Qian Yuan and Xu Wei agreed that this was the one that Xu Jie secretly raided.

However, Emperor Jiajing looked at the memorial sent by Huang Jin after criticizing Hong, and casually said: "Summon Qian Yuan."

With a faint tone, Huang Jin was so nervous that he hurriedly withdrew. He had just walked outside the hall to call a little eunuch over, but suddenly saw Feng Bao.

"Eunuch Huang." Feng Bao was very respectful. Now there are three eunuchs in the Silijian, two of whom are over 60 years old, and one is only over 40 years old. However, he is seriously ill this year and can no longer get up. He wants to go further, and Huang Jin has a great say.

"Your Majesty, please come and go." Huang Jin, who always smiled, didn't have a smile at this moment. "Your Majesty is not very happy to mention a few words."

As the eunuch in charge of the seal and the East Factory, Huang Jin would not and did not need to collude with foreign ministers. Even if he liked Qian Yuan, he would not secretly communicate. However, for more than a year, when Emperor Jiajing was happy, Qian Yuan was mostly present.

"Hmm?" Huang Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Bao who was not moving.

"Uh... Zhan Cai is outside the West Garden." Feng Bao swallowed.

Qian Yuan wore a Taoist robe today, but the style was slightly modified, without long sleeves, the collar, cuffs, and waist were unique, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Qian Yuan fell to the ground. This time he did not expect Emperor Jiajing to kneel down and give him a seat.

"Where is the speed of exposing talent?" Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Why did he come?"

Huang Jin would not hide it for Qian Yuan. He originally used Qian Yuan and others to be exposed in the Western Garden. Emperor Jiajing knew that he was right, and that he was the one who made trouble for this guy.

"The students want to set off to head south tomorrow, so they will say goodbye."

Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes, and his long and narrow eyes shone brightly. After a long time, he said, "I thought you were here to apologize!"

Qian Yuan stood up straight and said frankly: "Hu Ruzhen wanted to recruit Wang Zhi, but it was indeed the news released by the students... But what are the students' crimes?"

"The world is Your Majesty's world, but the southeast is rich, and it is the place where the Ming Dynasty is a riot. Now that the Japanese in the southeast are in chaos, the Zhejiang Governor's Office has introduced the law to intercept the salt tax of the Lianghuai River and trained the new army, so that the government's financial resources are insufficient. Even Your Majesty has to transfer silver from the internal transportation warehouse to provide disaster relief, and is even unwilling to raise another lion."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes turned away involuntarily... He transferred silver from the internal transportation warehouse to provide disaster relief, so the Ministry of Revenue could not hold on anymore. Fang Dun privately promised that the Ministry of Revenue would be full in the future and would no longer stop Emperor Jiajing from taking out silver from Taicang.

The lion cat died and didn't keep a second one... That's because the few lion cats sent to the palace in the past six months were not favored by Emperor Jiajing. If you want to keep it, you have to keep the best one. At least you have to have white all over your body and a pair of mandarin duck eyes... I think the one that Lu Bing raised in the snow, Emperor Jiajing looked down on.

"Your Majesty, the student is saving money for the court."

Qian Yuan was sincere and sincere. Emperor Jiajing's mouth twitched, while Huang Jin was covering his mouth and holding back his laughter.

This guy is too nonsense. Emperor Jiajing sighed, "Save money for me... Let's talk."

"Then... Hu Ruzhen recruited Wang Zhi, is Your Majesty allowed or not?" Qian Yuan tempted carefully.

"Huh?" Emperor Jiajing looked over casually, and Qian Yuan immediately lowered his head.

"Get up and talk." Emperor Jiajing was both angry and funny. He could jump into the sky with a pole.

Huang Jin brought a round stool over and said with a smile: "Zhancai said it carefully. If you can save money, Your Majesty can choose two more lions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuan sat down, rubbed his knees, and then said seriously: "Not to say anything about opening a sea ban and communicating with trade... Your Majesty, the matter of the Grand Secretary is really nothing to do with the students. I guess he was forced to do it... It's really hard."

"Besides talking nonsense, you can't go anywhere!" Emperor Jiajing glared. He had heard the word "Tou Tie" from Qian Yuan's mouth last year.

"Not mentioning the opening of the sea ban on trade, as long as you go out with your intention, the court intends to attack, and Hu Ruzhen has the means to contact Wang Zhi, then... Wang Zhi may have a counterattack." Qian Yuan explained in detail: "In fact, before the destruction of Ligang, Wang Zhi forced the sea merchant to not go ashore to invade the people, but he could only control his subordinates."

"The main reason is that Wang Zhi set up a Caoshi in Ligang and almost all the trading channels are in his hands. Once other maritime merchants cannot receive goods from mainland merchants, they may become Japanese pirates."

"But even after Ligang was destroyed, Wang Zhi went east to Japan, and mainly made a living by sea trade. His subordinates rarely went ashore to invade the southeast coastal areas. In the past or two years, it was Xu Hai, not Wang Zhi who caused trouble in the southeast."

Emperor Jiajing interrupted: "Zhancai means... If the court intends to recruit appeasements, Wang Zhi may have a counterattack and help the official army to wipe out Xu Hai?"

"Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly." Qian Yuan flattered him, "First, Xu Hai invaded several times and fought several times, and it was no longer possible to get out of the sea ban and trade. Wang Zhi deeply hated that he was unwilling to start a war.

Second, from May last year to June this year, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai started a war at the sea. There were dozens of wars, and the sea water was red. Xu Hai once secretly sent a dead soldier to assassinate Wang Zhi, and the two had a deep hatred.

Third, in the 30th year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi once joined forces with the government army to strangle several Japanese pirates, including Chen Sipan, the leader of Fujian maritime merchants."

After speaking out loudly, Qian Yuan came to the conclusion, "So, if the court intends to recruit appeasements, Wang Zhi may have a counterattack. Xu Hai died and the main force of the Japanese pirates under his command will be destroyed. At least the situation in Zhejiang and Susong areas will improve a lot."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes seemed to be closed and he whispered: "Turn away the wolf and swallow the tiger?"

"Xu Hai is an evil tiger, but Wang Zhi may not be a hungry wolf." Qian Yuan put the stool forward and leaned out and whispered: "The student said that Wang Zhi was unwilling to start a war. All he wanted was to open a ban on sea commerce."

"Enable sea bans and trade..." Emperor Jiajing repeated it all over and sighed softly, "Not that simple."

"Even if Your Majesty does not allow it, you can use this name to lure Wang Zhi to the shore, as long as you keep the person." Qian Yuan gritted his teeth, "at least there is room for the use of his means."

"What means?"

"Let them kill each other, and no matter how bad they are, they can leave more time for the Southeast to train new troops." Qian Yuan paused, "The students also buried chess pieces in the Japanese pirates, and they might be able to disrupt the situation at that time."

Emperor Jiajing was intrigued, "Who was buried among the Japanese pirates? Listening to Wen Changyan, his identity is not low, and he can find out the trends of Xu Hai's main force."

"This person is a businessman. His father and brother went to Ligang, Zhoushan many times, and had a friendship." Qian Yuan said nonsense: "This person studied when he was young and turned to a businessman. After Ligang was destroyed, he was carried into the house by Japanese pirates. Later, Chongde was captured in great victory, and the students decided to release him as a spy."
