It is the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated. The people and vendors in Nanjing City are smiling.

The reason is very simple. Two years ago, there were two Japanese riots last year. The Japanese pirates attacked Yangzhou, Tongzhou, and Changzhou. The troops were aimed directly at Nanjing. A small group of Japanese pirates went around and almost attacked Yingtian Prefecture. Not to mention the rest, just the daily lives of the people, the business of vendors was greatly affected.

But this year, Xu Hai led his army to invade Jiaxing and Huzhou. Most of the Japanese pirates who were picking up cheap were wiped out by Yu Dayou and Wang Chonggu in Susong. A few small groups of Japanese pirates advanced west along the Yangtze River, but were easily wiped out by Caojiang Admiral Gao Jie.

After leaving the dock, Qian Yuan and his group entered the city, looking at the sensation of people on the street, and many people were purchasing New Year's goods. They couldn't help but smile: "Gao Jianqing is nearly 60 years old, but he is still stronger and not weaker than others."

Yang Wen, who was standing beside him, whispered: "It is said that he wants to turn the master up and go back to the court?"

"How is that possible!" Qian Yuan shook his head. With Gao Gong here, Gao Jie would never be able to return to Beijing in his life. Moreover, because of Gao Jie, Gao Gong still has a lot of troubles.

The shameless proposal in the court was proposing that Cao Jiang's admiral Gao Jie had made many military achievements and should become the Count... Once Gao Jie gets the title, Gao Gong will not be able to join the cabinet and become the Grand Secretary. This is a political rule, so Gao Gong is so angry that he jumped straight into the foot.

Gao Gong once mentioned when chatting with Qian Yuan in Suiyuan that it was Hu Yingjia, the director of the Ministry of Personnel who had just been transferred back to Beijing. This guy was the same year as Qian Yuan.

I don’t know who Hu Yingjia is… Qian Yuan thought in his mind that if he didn’t do it well, he was Xu Jie’s person, and Yan Song should not have the idleness.

Before heading south, Xu Wei had collected information about Hu Yingjia, "Tsk, the family of officials."

During the reign of Hongzhi, his grandfather Hu Lian was a Jinshi and served as the Minister of Revenue. He led troops to conquer Annan and Portuguese pirates. The general name of foreign firearms in the Ming Dynasty "Folangji" came from him.

Hu Yingjia's father and two uncles, one is a Jinshi and two Juren. His cousin Hu Yingzheng was the Minister of the Nanzhili Township Examination. Unfortunately, he failed the exam several times. After Hu Yingjia's palace examination, he was selected as the magistrate of Yichun, Jiangxi Province. However, he returned to Beijing in less than half a year and was promoted to the Ministry of Revenue. There is no doubt that this is a guy with a very background.

After all, Qian Yuan was only interested in history in his previous life, and did not specialize in history. He did not know that Hu Yingjia was Gao Gong's mortal enemy in history.

Going straight west and bypassing the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing, Qian Yuan suddenly saw an acquaintance, Zhao Zhenji, who had been promoted to the title of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing. The old man and four or five officials were stamping their feet on the roadside, with a passionate expression and a sigh.

Qian Yuan made a stop gesture, listened carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head and continue walking forward. It was no different from the bureaucrats in the capital. He was probably accusing Hu Zongxian of spending countless food and money, but he was ineffective in fighting.

Qian Yuan felt bored, but the officials agreed loudly, which is understandable.

It is said that except for the emperor, there is a cabinet in Nanjing, there are other things in Beijing, and everyone knows that the main purpose of these yamen in Nanjing is to support the elderly, to support the qualifications of the young, and to resettle those who fail to fight political struggles...

But there are two different yamen, one is the Nanjing Ministry of War and the other is the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue.

Whenever there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it is often the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing or the Minister of the Shangshu who led troops to fight. For example, Zhang Jing, Tu Dashan, and Hu Zongxian were all in charge of military power as the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing and the Minister of the Shangshu.

The Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is even more important. Because the distance is too far, the tax grains in Nanzhili are actually under the responsibility of Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. Not only Nanzhili, but also Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Huguang provinces. These places account for more than one-third of the national tax grains.

This allows you to understand why Nanjing officials hate Hu Zongxian so much... There are only two places in Nanjing who have some power, one is the Ministry of War and the other is the Ministry of Revenue.

But you, Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang, commanded the troops of six provinces, and were completely unlucky in Nanjing's Ministry of War, and were promoted to Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, and were completely unlucky in Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue.

What's even more terrible is that when Yan Song fell, many of these officials in Nanjing turned over and returned to Beijing... Qian Yuan was worried about Hu Zongxian and offended everyone. It's really impossible to say that Xu Jie was just trying to kill you.

He looked back at the conspicuous Zhao Zhenji in the crowd. Qian Yuan felt strange in his heart. He watched the TV series "The Ming Dynasty 1566" in his previous life and was quite unfair to Zhao Zhenji... He was obviously a straightforward Neo-Confucian master, but he was portrayed as a bureaucrat who was good at everything. He was obviously not valued in the Jiajing Dynasty, but he was inexplicably appointed as the governor of Zhejiang in the play.

The TV series brought a ridiculous face to Zhao Zhenji, but when Qian Yuan came to this time and space, he found that the history books also brought a ridiculous face to Zhao Zhenji that future generations could not see clearly.

Qian Zheng was the same year as Zhao Zhenji. He was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing and was also elected as a Shuji scholar. However, the latter had a prosperous official career and was appointed as an editor of the Hanlin Academy in the second year, studying the "Huidian", teaching the Silijian, and being the examiner of the 23rd year of Jiajing.

Moreover, after Zhao Zhenji finished the exam in the ninth year of Hanlin, he immediately transferred to Zhanshifu to Youchunfang Yousiyun, and was also the Imperial College Supervisor. In other words, Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the Minister of Personnel after serving in these two positions, and then entered the cabinet.

In Qian Zheng's words, this is a person who has done his best... In Qian Yuan's understanding, this is an official who wants to do practical things, who transforms into a pragmatist, and at the same time places his hopes on political groups.

Qian Yuan's evaluation is not too outrageous. During the Gengxu Incident, Zhao Zhenji strongly advocated a battle, so he was promoted to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude. When Yan Song strongly advocated not to pursue him, he was demoted and scolded him.

But in fact, the knowledgeable people in the court knew in their hearts that dragging on was the best solution and fighting was the most dangerous choice... At that time, there were basically no soldiers who could fight in the three camps of the capital. Once the paper tiger was exposed, the city of Beijing might fall.

Interestingly, although Zhao Zhenji was exiled from the capital to become a local official after the Gengxu Incident, in general, in his career, like Xu Jie, he still took the path of Chu Xiang.

What’s even more interesting is that Xu Jie took the initiative to get in, while Zhao Zhenji was originally a disciple of Xinxue and one of the pillars of the Taizhou School.

Qian Yuan was not sure when Zhao Zhenji formed a party with Xu Jie, but he was sure that Zhao Zhenji was a very important member of the Xu Party. During the Longqing period, Xu Jie was recommended to the cabinet as a Grand Secretary.

The combination is complicated and complicated... Qian Yuan shook his head. After killing all the Japanese pirates in that small village last year, he met Zhao Zhenji for the first time, and then met him for the second time in Nanjing. At that time, he was sure that Zhao Zhenji was the chess piece Xu Jie placed in Nanjing.

Hu Zongxian remained as governor of Zhejiang, Wu Baipeng was promoted to governor of Zhejiang, and Qian Yuan grabbed the Zhejiang Inspector... Will Xu Jie let Zhao Zhenji's pawn disrupt the situation?

Various doubts were circling in Qian Yuan's mind. He heard Xu Wei complaining in Suiyuan. Nanjing criticized Hu Zongxian. The person who danced the most was Zhao Zhenji, the Guanglu Temple Minister in Nanjing.

Obviously, in the eyes of most important officials in the court, it is one thing to quell the Japanese turmoil in the southeast, but the southeast is indeed a piece of fat, and those who are qualified should take a bite.

Qian Yuan didn't know how many years he would stay in the Southeast before returning to Beijing, but he was sure that he had to do a lot of things...

According to the usual style of his previous life, Qian Yuan would set several goals in different orders, install some Fuzi, and leave some back-ups. This is why he turned to the Yangtze River on his way south to reach Nanjing.
