Chapter 1013 The Change of the Chief Secretary of Fujian Province
Once the news that the emperor moved to Fujian came, the most happy thing was Zheng Jing.
In fact, his attitude towards the emperor has changed several times, from disdain at the beginning to a slight appreciation later to a promising and admiration later.
This was a long process, and even Zheng Jing himself couldn't tell what was the reason and what happened again.
But one thing is certain, that is, Zheng Jing was not impressed by the noble status of the emperor, otherwise he would not have felt disdainful of the emperor at the beginning.
It is obvious that it was Zheng Jing who conquered through his personal charm.
Sometimes things like personal charm are indecipherable.
For example, the last time Zheng Jing was besieged in Xiaolangyu, if He Shouyi had not led his troops to arrive in time, he would have been taken down.
Afterwards, Zheng Jing took the initiative to apologize to the emperor and was ready to be dismissed.
But the fact is that the emperor only blamed him a few words, and the rest was encouragement.
This made Zheng Jing stunned.
Is there any such operation?
There is no doubt that the emperor is a person who is very good at judging the thoughts of his subjects.
Zheng Jing did not feel any discomfort from beginning to end.
It is Zheng Jing’s blessing to be able to do things under such an emperor.
Therefore, after the Emperor's Holy Detachment was about to arrive, Zheng Jing and Prefect Mei prepared an extremely grand reception ceremony together.
Prefect Mei was naturally trembling in her heart.
He has no great ambitions. The biggest person he has ever seen in his life is the governor of Zhejiang. He looked at it from afar when he was on West Lake.
And the emperor is so superior to the governor that he doesn't know where he goes.
He really didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the emperor with his own eyes in his life.
But this is both an incentive and a test.
After all, there is no room for mistakes in welcoming the Holy Driving.
Look at the officials in Zhejiang, they all ended up miserably. Prefect Mei felt that it must be because they did not serve the emperor well. Otherwise, no matter what, there would be no such large-scale officials being imprisoned.
"Your Highness, I don't know what Your Majesty likes on weekdays, so I'd better prepare early."
Prefect Mei, who didn't want to throw away the black hat for no reason, chose to ask Zheng Jing for advice as soon as possible, probably because Zheng Jing was the person who had seen the most with the emperor in the local area.
In addition, Zheng Jing is Zheng Chenggong's son, and Zheng Chenggong is the most trusted general of the emperor. The opinions put forward by Zheng Jing are indeed worth considering.
It’s just that Zheng Jing is really difficult to answer this question.
The reason is simple, because once you say something wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Master Mei, when today's wise and powerful son is not comparable to ordinary monarchs, so Master Mei does not need to compare with ordinary monarchs to think about his preferences today. If he wants to please the emperor, the best way is to wipe out more Japanese pirates. As long as the Japanese ills are pacified, Your Majesty will be very happy. Master Mei is also a great achievement, so there is no need to say much about the promotion."
Zheng Jing said nothing, but it was not necessarily a good thing in the ears of Prefect Mei.
After all, Zheng Jing did not give him any practical information, so Prefect Mei naturally could not make targeted arrangements.
"Haha, what the prince said is very much, but we ministers have to share your worries for more or less, and it is not just about eliminating the Japanese pirates."
Seeing that Prefect Mei was so unwilling to give up, Zheng Jing felt extremely upset.
This prefect Mei really can't hear that it's good or bad.
Forget it, let's just say the last one to shut up.
Zheng Jing took a deep breath and said, "Today, Zi Wenya is fond of gold, stone, calligraphy and painting. If the prefect Mei can offer her a gift, the emperor will definitely be happy."
"That's right. Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."
Prefect Mei was overjoyed. No matter what, Zheng Jing pointed out a clear path for him. As long as he walked along this path, he would never go anywhere.
There is not much time left for Prefect Mei, and it is estimated that it will take only a few days to go from Hangzhou to Quanzhou. He must use this time to prepare a painting of calligraphy and calligraphy that satisfies the emperor.
Under the escort of the Hu Ben Army and the Jinyi Guard, the Emperor Zhu Youlang of the Ming Dynasty entered Fujian through southern Zhejiang.
It is really embarrassing to remember that Emperor Longwu was betrayed by Zheng Zhilong and died tragically. Now his grandson Zheng Jing has become a general under Zhu Youlang to come to Fujian to wipe out Japanese pirates. It is really amazing.
Of course, if Emperor Longwu had not died, Zhu Youlang would not have been today.
It can be said that all this is opportunity and fate, and everything is destined in the dark.
Fortunately, Zhu Youlang did not disappoint his ancestors, and took the banner and eventually led the Ming Dynasty to revival.
Now he wants to eliminate the Japanese pirates and make another effort to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
The cleanup of Zhejiang's officialdom gave Zhu Youlang a lot of experience.
He knew very well that as far as the current situation was concerned, the situation in Fujian was mostly not much different from that in Zhejiang.
Since you have made up your mind, you have to go all the way to the dark, and you must not hesitate at all.
"Wang Qing, you have some understanding of the situation in Fujian. Tell me and listen to me."
Wang Henian quickly said yes.
As the commander of the Jinyiwei, it is his duty to command information from all parties.
Especially when the emperor asked, Wang Henian should have spoken out without hesitation.
If you cannot answer immediately, it means you have failed to fulfill your duties.
"Report to Your Majesty, the situation in Fujian is similar to that in Zhejiang. However, there are more real Japanese in Fujian."
"oh?"
Zhu Youlang was obviously very interested.
"Why is this?"
"Report to Your Majesty, this is about the relationship between Zheng and the Japanese pirates."
Wang Henian took out all the drafts that had been prepared and made a lot of comments.
As a result, Zhu Youlang was also shocked.
He knew that Zheng's relationship with Japanese Daming was good, but he didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong, who also started out as a pirate, had such a close relationship with Japanese pirates.
In this case, it can also explain that the Japanese pirates are willing to come to Fujian to develop.
Simply put, this should be a habit and a continuation.
"No matter whether he is real or fake, he will be dead if he dares to harass the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youlang is indeed much more domineering now than before, because he is very confident.
The current strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to mention the mere Japanese pirates, even all the Japanese names combined together are not enough to be promoted by the Ming Dynasty at one time.
Zhu Youlang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "If you don't mention external troubles, the administration must be cleaned up. If there is a similar behavior of Japanese communication with the Japanese in the officialdom in Zhejiang, then start the investigation immediately. I will not keep these guys who are sting in the country for nothing. The Ming Dynasty must be an era of Qingming in the administration."
"I obey the order."
Wang Henian held his fists in a deep voice and led his order.
