Chapter six hundred and forty seventh pure minister

On September 29, Emperor Jiajing ordered Hu Zongxian to be transferred to the position of governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, and to eliminate the Japanese pirates in the southeast, quickly crossed the border between Fujian and Jiangxi, and divided into three groups to enter Jiangxi.

Linjiang Prefecture is in danger, Ji'an Prefecture and Yuanzhou Prefecture are in danger. Hu Zongxian no longer picked and chose the army under his command, and chose the fastest route of advance... After all, Fenyi is at the forefront of the bandit army.

Yu Dayou entered Ji'an Prefecture for the right army and marched northward. Qi Jimei, Wu Baipeng, and Wang Daokun advanced straight westward for the middle army. Liu Xian led his army from the eastern part of Fuzhou Prefecture to the Nanchang Prefecture, and browsed the rear route of the bandits.

On October 6, the bandit army went south to attack Ji'an Prefecture. Yu Dayou set up an ambush to defeat the bandit army and led his army to attack and conquer Xiajiang County, Lin'an Prefecture.

On October 8, Qi Jimei rushed to Yihuang County, Fuzhou Prefecture, and was in a daze with three thousand officers and soldiers against the 5,000 bandit troops. Li Chao, a single cavalry in Wenzhou, took the lead in breaking the formation. Three quarters of an hour later, the bandit army was defeated, and the official army beheaded more than a thousand, and the bandit army rushed west.

On October 10, the bandit army advanced west along the Jiang River, first breaking Xinyu County, and then attacking Yi County. Yu Dayou led his army westward to threaten the bandit army's flanks. The bandit army did not dare to divide the troops rashly, and the two armies confronted each other at the border of Linjiang Prefecture and Yuanzhou Prefecture.

Finally, the situation was stabilized, and the tense atmosphere in Beijing was slightly relieved. Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief. If Fenyi County was captured, he would really have no face to return home.

In the Wanshou Hall, Emperor Jiajing stared at the carbon furnace and stroked the lion cat in his hand. The tip of the little guy's nose was attracted by the tempting fragrance emitted by the sweet potatoes. He twisted left and right in Emperor Jiajing's arms and suddenly came out.

"Be careful!" Xu Wei bent down and took the lion cat up, "I'm not afraid of being hot!"

Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "It has been three years, and I don't know what Luo Zhancai is, Luo..."

"Luo Xiaohei." Huang Jin said with a slight interest: "It is said that he has a new nest and has become a grandmother."

"A few days ago, Ningbo sent an account book and the tax bank came to Beijing. Zhan Cai even asked the guards to send two of them." Xu Wei said casually: "Zhan Cai's cousin likes it very much."

"By the way, this sweet potato really produces twenty stones per mu?" Huang Jin asked: "I went south to investigate..."

"Huang Mao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Hu Yingjia, the Minister of the Official Affairs Department, Chen Younian, the Chief of the Ministry of Revenue, Lu Yipeng, the Censor of the Censorate, and several officials of the Ministry of Revenue set off south tomorrow." Xu Weiying said: "Tonight, the banquet will be held in the garden to see you off."

"Seeping off?" Emperor Jiajing laughed and scolded: "Is it because he is guilty and wants to bribe one or two?"

"Why dare to bribe the young master?" Xu Wei laughed.

Huang Jin reminded: "Chen Younian and Lu Yipeng are both Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing."

This sentence is not clear, but Emperor Jiajing understood as soon as he heard it. These two people should be scholars in Suiyuan.

"Where are there any officials and officials?"

Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if Li'an did it on purpose... The bridge of Hu Yingjia's nose was almost broken when he was three months ago!"

"You are ruthless!" Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Can you let Suiyuan check it out? Check it out yourself?"

Xu Wei shrugged, "Your Majesty also knows Zhan Cai. Such a big thing... this guy dares not talk nonsense."

Emperor Jiajing leaned lazily on the couch, took the lion cat handed over by Xu Wei and rubbed it a few times, "By the way, how much food and salary does Ningbo bring to Fujian and Jiangxi?"

"The separate account book has been sent to Beijing this time and has been submitted to the Ministry of Revenue." Xu Wei carefully tried to pick up a sweet potato, peeled it and tasted it. "From the end of September to mid-October, the Wangzhi fleet and Taizhou Navy sailed southward, and a total of 8,000 stones of grain were transported. Fujian Governor Wu Weixi formed a fleet and then transferred from Minjiang to Jiangxi."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Wei in surprise, and the latter added with a smile: "Zhancai made a promise, the general Qi Jimei, the general of Nangan Yu Dayou, both military pay was allocated by Ningbo Prefecture and will be given after the war."

"He can pick cakes on the ground!" Emperor Jiajing nodded, "Is it mature?"

"It's cooked." Xu Wei quickly picked up two more sweet potatoes and put them on the plate handed over by Huang Jin. Sweet potatoes are not rare in the future, but now... things are rare and expensive.

Qian Yuan dares to make a promise, but he also wants those generals to believe... At least in Qi Jimei and Yu Dayou's army, Qian Yuan has this kind of credibility.

As for Hu Zongxian’s direct subordinates and Liu Xian, deputy general of Jiangxi, Qian Yuan provided good food and rice, and he could really take over the big things and think beautifully!

Emperor Jiajing tasted the sweet potato, praised a few words, and sighed: "Zhancai is in the southeast... he is so happy to be in Shu!"

"He hasn't finished his tossing yet." Xu Wei whispered: "Zhan Cai is ready to continue his efforts..."

"Um?"

"He is planning to set up a new Hai City in Ninghai County, Taizhou Prefecture."

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a moment, "Tan Lun took over as the governor of Zhejiang, who is currently the governor of Taizhou?"

"In the 26th year of Jiajing, Song Yiwang, a Jinshi Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, was transferred to Taizhou Prefecture."

There was really no suitable person to take over as the prefect of Taizhou in Qian Yuan's entrainment, or recommended by his uncle Qian Zheng. Qian Yuan had no impression of the name Song Yiwang at all.

In fact, among the Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, Song Yiwang was considered a famous figure, Huizheng was quite good, upright and honest. In the 34th year of Jiajing, he served as the censor of the Censorate and was exiled from the capital for impeaching Yan Song.

The most important thing is that Song Yiwang is from Yongfeng County, Ji'an Prefecture. He studied under Nie Bao and was Nie Bao's best friend. He was the same family as Qian Zhengfen. The two had a good relationship in their early years.

In other words, this was a candidate that Qian Yuan could trust. For this reason, he wrote a letter to Yan Shifan himself, and finally got what he wanted through Wu Peng, the Ministry of Personnel.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly spoke, "Go and send a letter and return to Beijing next year."

"Yes." Xu Wei responded immediately, feeling relieved. It had been several days since he finally found the opportunity to lure this sentence out.

Xu Wei had long been keen to discover that Qian Yuan’s arrangement in Beijing was not just for himself, but the restaurant manager Liu Hong should have other lines in his hands... For example, this time, Qian Yuan suddenly sent a secret letter to Beijing, asking Xu Wei to find an opportunity to mention entering Beijing next year in front of Emperor Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Master Yan asked for a visit." Huang Jin whispered.

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and the old Yan Song slowly entered the hall with the support of the eunuch. Huang Jin personally poured a cup of hot tea and brought another chair.

"Only, taste it."

After Yan Song thanked him, he tasted the sweet potato and smiled and said, "I am old, but this sweet potato is just close to the mouth."

"Everyone and young can eat, it's soft and glutinous." Emperor Jiajing turned his head and looked at Xu Wei, "Don't think I don't know. Zhan Cai sent some more to Beijing. How many yellow companions are sold in the restaurant?"

Huang Jin pointed to the remaining sweet potato on the plate, "It's so fast, one or two in half silver!"

"Your Majesty had known that it was good to develop talents." Yan Song said with a smile: "Using a place of one mansion to solve the lack of resources in the court, but his Majesty personally pulled it out."

Looking at the proud expression of Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song added: "What the old minister admires the most is that Zhan Cai is actually a pure minister, who is dedicated to the king, the country, and has no selfish thoughts..."

"Okay, okay, he has no selfless thoughts... Ask Wen Chang, do you think he believes it?" Emperor Jiajing was so amused and crying, "Yi Zhong, just say something."

Emperor Jiajing knew that there were no pure ministers in this world. If there were pure ministers, there would be no Lijian.

Yan Song calmed down and took a few breaths. The temperature in the capital dropped sharply these two days, and he was about to start winter again, but he had to come this time today.

"Old minister, please revisit the Xingdu Zhi."

Huang Jin stepped forward to take the memorial presented by Yan Song with both hands. Emperor Jiajing opened it and looked at it a few times, and immediately locked in a name that he had not heard of in the past few years but had heard it many times this year.
