Four hundred and seventieth chapters calm
Xu Wei's arrival gradually eased the originally solemn atmosphere of the back hall, and Yan Song and Xu Jie's flattery made Emperor Jiajing's face look slightly better.
Emperor Jiajing snorted, signaled Huang Jin to bring the letter, took a few glances in person, and cursed: "Even if there are few people in the Hanlin, Zhan Cai's calligraphy... is simply a child's graffiti!"
However, Emperor Jiajing also confirmed from this that it was really Qian Yuan’s letter... No one else could write this letter.
Emperor Jiajing was too suspicious. Today, the censor of the Kedao impeached Hu Ruzhen crazily. Xu Wei, a scholar in Suiyuan, sent Qian Yuan's letter, and the letter was still saying good things for Hu Zongxian... and Xu Wei was once a staff member of Hu Zongxian.
He handed the letter to Huang Jin, and Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on Xu Jie's body again, rubbed his fingers slightly, and snorted coldly, "Yizhong, let the Ministry of Works rebuild the three halls."
"The old minister follows the holy metaphor."
Xu Jie suddenly said: "You can order Liu Boyue, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Works, and the Left Chief Censor, to purchase big wood in Sichuan, Huguang and Guizhou."
The Ministry of Works is Yan Song... To be precise, it is Yan Shifan's private land, and Liu Boyue, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, is Yan Shifan's heart.
Emperor Jiajing stared at Xu Jie for a while before spitting out: "Xu."
After leaving Wanshou Palace, Xu Jie diligently supported Yan Song, "Be careful of Yuan Fu."
"Haha, although I was old, I was already dazzled, but I had a clear idea in my heart and a clear idea in my heart."
It has to be said that the "forbearance" in Xu Jie's personality traits was fully revealed today. More than a month ago, the Beijing Challenge was defeated, and Min Rulin even suffered an unexpected surprise. It was a good idea for the Censor of Kedao to impeach the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi, Hu Ruzhen, but today so many Censors held the warning from God on Hu Ruzhen... This made Yan Song and even Emperor Jiajing doubt Xu Jie's intention. Are you unwilling to lie down and take advantage of the situation?
After all, although the censor of Kedao was scattered, he was generally hostile to Yan Song and kind to Xu Jie. Moreover, Zhou Yan, the left censor of the Censorate, was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing. In the same year as Xu Jie, Xu Jie's invisible influence among the censor of Kedao was stronger than Yan Song.
Emperor Jiajing's anger today was targeting Xu Jie. The biting of important officials under his command was the tacit approval and even instigated by Emperor Jiajing. It was nothing more than checks and balances of power. He could tolerate Xu Jie's constant test of whether he could replace Yan Song, but he could not tolerate Xu Jie's fingers at Yan Song but Hu Zongxian.
It’s not that Emperor Jiajing was very concerned about Hu Zongxian, but that Emperor Jiajing was hoping that Hu Zongxian could quell the Japanese turmoil this year and restore the tax supply to the court in the southeast... Although he was nominally practicing Taoism and refining alchemy, Emperor Jiajing was the most luxurious expense for the Ming Dynasty emperors.
Just half a month ago, Emperor Jiajing ordered Shuntian Prefecture to compradate 400,000 pearls and Guangdong purchased 900,000 pearls for palace use. Shuntian Prefecture cried and called her mother, and the Guangdong Provincial Administration was even knocked unconscious with one hammer... This kind of thing was the work of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces before.
But Emperor Jiajing was too embarrassed. Just this year, he took another charming concubine. Now, he burned the three halls with a torch. The Ministry of Revenue will definitely not pay any more money... Even if Emperor Jiajing wanted to get the silver in Taicang, there would be no money to take out in Taicang.
It can be said that today, like Hu Zongxian, Xu Jie was shot in an innocent knee. The latter also said that the former had a motive. In recent years, except for Li Mo, Xu Jie has been a pawn to nominally check and balance Yan Song, and is also a natural candidate for the next cabinet chief.
Instead of calling for justice, Xu Jie endured and cleverly took the opportunity to push Liu Boyue, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, to show his innocence.
Respectfully sent Yan Song back to Zhilu, Xu Jie immediately left Xiyuan, summoned his confidants, and suppressed the troubles outside.
Xu Jie keenly realized that making trouble on Hu Zongxian is not a good way... Maybe you can try to hit Huanglong, but you still need to lie dormant for the time being.
There was a chaotic outside, and the back hall of Wanshou Palace, Emperor Jiajing, who was in a better mood, was talking about Qing Ci to Xu Wei again. The words were rising. Xu Wei splashed ink, and in a moment, three Qing Ci became established. Emperor Jiajing was very happy to be promoted to Xu Wei Hanlin as a student.
Tsk, Xu Wei's hat was tightly attached to Xu Wei's head. Gao Gong lasted for nine years before becoming a postmate. Although Xu Wei was the second-tier student, he only entered the Hanlin Academy for a year.
After thanking him, Xu Wei smiled and said, "Zhan Chuan found out that he must have been talking coldly again."
"Who asked him to go to the southeast on his own initiative!" Emperor Jiajing threw down his pen, picked up the lion cat after cleaning his hands, "But he did a good job. If it weren't for him this time, Shanyin, Kuaiji would not protect... the memorial sent by the Ministry of War..."
The news of the Shaoxing victory was actually known by Emperor Jiajing. Today, Jiangdong, the Minister of War, entered the palace to meet with him, but did not mention Qian Yuan's name from beginning to end, but only Liu Xian, Mei Shoude, and Wu Baipeng.
It’s not that the Ministry of War has any opinions on Qian Yuan. Hu Zongxian’s document of the report of the war was for Qian Yuan to be seen. Qian Yuan didn’t care about the credit on the surface. After all, Hu Zongxian also knew that Qian Yuan must have a direct letter to the West Garden.
"Zhan Cai was very dangerous to win this time. The Qian family guards were the vanguards and rushed to the outside of Shanyin City. Six hundred Japanese pirates charged, and the Qian family guards only had two hundred. The real Japanese pirates with sharp blades to break the front." Xu Wei said seriously: "The Taizhou warriors did not avoid life and death and fought with flesh and blood, so they drove out the Japanese pirates, killed more than a hundred, and defeated the Japanese pirates..."
Huang Jin, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interrupt, "Didn't it mean that the elite armor of the Qian family guards are in the southeast?"
"Yes, the elite armor of Qian's family guards is in the southeast." Xu Wei sighed: "But after several years of war, most of the 108 guards were killed. Last year, there were only 70 people left in Jiaxing Mansion. At the beginning of the year, Zhan transferred another 40 people to the army. Although he recruited another 200 people, most of them had never been on the battlefield. They were all newcomers... However, the Qian's guards were indeed called the elite armor of Qian's family in the southeast."
Speaking of this, Xu Wei looked at Emperor Jiajing carefully and spoke tentatively: "Your Majesty, if Zhan Cai returns to Beijing..."
"Aren't you bickering with him every day?" Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded: "It's not your turn to worry!"
Xu Wei stopped embarrassedly. Hanlin attendant is the sixth rank. Going up is the bachelor of the lecturer, the bachelor of the lecturer, and going up is the bachelor of the lecturer, the bachelor of the lecturer, and going up is the bachelor of the Hanlin attendant. If Qian Yuan still stayed in the capital, he might be the one who will be promoted today.
The most important thing is that Qian Yuan transferred from Hanlin to the Censorate, which made everyone in Suiyuan admire him and felt very regretful. Xu Wei wanted to test whether Qian Yuan could return to Hanlin again.
After a pause, Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Only he can cause trouble, but he can kill the Japanese in the entire Southeast?"
"I'm not waiting for the Hanlin Academy, but I don't want to go to the southeast!"
Emperor Jiajing was cursing and couldn't stop talking anymore. Huang Jin, who was beside him, smiled and advised: "Old Master, who doesn't know the principle of getting the moon first when approaching the water tower, Zhan Cai was willing to go to the southeast, that was to relieve your worries."
"Eunuch Huang said," Xu Wei immediately added, "It just so happened that the dog written by Zhan Cai Qing Ci... is not good at Qing Ci, and goes to the southeast to fight against the Japanese. This is called promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses."
Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing and said to Xu Wei: "It's just a mess!"
Xu Wei talked a few more jokes before leaving, and looked at the sky straight out of Xiyuan and returned to Suiyuan. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tao Dalin, Wu Dui, Sun Jian and others waiting. The scholars in Suiyuan stayed in the capital were all from Shaoxing, mainly from Yuyao and Shanyin.
"How about Shanyin?" Tao Dalin immediately stood up and asked. They were all here to ask about the battle situation in Shaoxing. Although they knew about the great victory in Shanyin, they didn't know the details.
"The general Liu Xian was not worthy of use, the prefect Mei Shoude was not good at military affairs, the Shanyin city wall was destroyed, Duanfu led the guard to the courtyard to fight himself." Xu Wei sat down tiredly, took the tea handed over by Sun Jian and drank it all. "Fortunately, Zhan Cai led Yiwu new recruits to arrive in time and beheaded two hundred..."
"There is no name for showing off his talents in the military newspaper of the Ministry of War." Wu Dui, the head of the Ministry of War, poured another cup of tea, "Only Hu Ruzhen transferred Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng to lead the troops to help."
"Zhan Cai has his own considerations." Xu Wei calmed down, "Min Rulin was robbed and killed, Shanyin was almost defeated by Japanese pirates. Hu Ruzhen was under a lot of pressure. In addition, the censor of Zhongke Dao of the court impeached Hu Ruzhen... By the way, where is Xian Yuan?"
"He was seen today." Sun Yan smiled and said, "It's Brother Siming's niece."
Siming refers to Pan Sheng, who is faintly half a Suiyuan native. He is now a attendant in the Hanlin Academy. Last year, he was recommended by Gao Gong as a lecturer at King Yu. He is from Xinchang, Zhejiang, and is considered a fellow villager of Xian Yuan.
"Brother Yu, take care of him." Xu Wei whispered: "Tongdong Zhancai and Hu Ruzhen have already made a decision. You can't cause trouble at this time. I haven't settled the score with Shen Qingxia last time!"
"I know." Tao Dalin nodded and asked again: "Zhancai has made a decision to quell the Japanese turmoil this year?"
Xu Wei generally knew Qian Yuan’s plan, but he was not clear about the details and future trends, so he could only make a few perfunctory words.
After chatting for a while, Xu Wei couldn't hold on and his eyes were fighting. Everyone called a servant to send Xu Wei in to rest.
One day, from learning that the three halls were burned in the morning, to learning that a large number of censors used this to impeach Hu Zongxian, and then carefully preparing to meet Emperor Jiajing in the afternoon, Xu Wei did a lot of preparations, and each sentence was whispered three times in advance.
