Chapter 153: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain?

Qian Rui crashed into the chaos in Zhoushan and then killed a lot, which unexpectedly created a rare opportunity for Qian Yuan. Qian Yuan used this to extend his hand to the southeast to the sea deeper and longer. At the same time, a year after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne in the capital, thousands of miles away, Xu Jie and Gao Gong's party struggle officially kicked off.

At dusk on July 1st, when Emperor Longqing suddenly announced the title of Minister of War, Qian Yuan, the left concubine of Zuochunfang, to inspect the southeastern sea border, Gao Gong's first reaction was anger.

Gao Gong's anger is that Qian Yuan actually had such a great influence on Emperor Longqing.

Over the past five or six years, everyone can see the importance of the Southeast to the court's finances, and everyone knows the status of Qian Yuan, the core of Suiyuan.

Whether it is the most important business, business affairs, relationships with maritime merchants, wealthy families in the Southeast, and Qian Yuan’s position in the military and Southeast officialdom, it all determines that he may be able to influence the Southeast through various ways. In fact, this is what he did, but it also determines that Qian Yuan basically has no chance of returning to the Southeast, especially working in Zhejiang.

But Qian Yuan did it, and he was the Minister of War and went south to inspect the southeast coastal areas. In theory, from Susong to Liangzhe, Fujian, and coastal areas were temporarily under Qian Yuan's jurisdiction.

How can this not make Gao Gong angry?

He knew that his emperor student had considerable trust in Qian Yuan, but he did not expect it to be so.

You know, if Qian Yuan does not return to the southeast, there is a tacit understanding between Gao Gong, Xu Jie, His Majesty, and even the dead Li Mo.

This means that after Gao Gong hid his charming house for nearly ten years, he found that this woman actually had a good relationship.

What made Gao Gong jump even more was that, in comparison, she trusted that little white face more!

Damn it, I don’t know if Gao Gong feels his hat is a little green...

Xu Jie's first reaction was that Wang Ben was going to be in trouble... Although there were Hou Ruliang, Dong Yikui, and Hu Yingjia, he knew that Qian Yuan went south and those guys could not resist in terms of strength or status.

However, Xu Jie didn't care about this, and he didn't even send a messenger to the south... On May 28, Qian Yuan met with him, and then he closed his door to express his guests. It had been three days since the messenger could not catch up.

After Xu Jie received a letter from his student and fellow villager Dong Chuance to Beijing, he didn't care about the Southeast. Qian Yuan seized the handle of the smuggling of the Xu family in Huating, but he did not make any big moves and cut off the head of the messenger sent by Dong Yikui to Lu Bin.

An old fox like Xu Jie didn't have to think about what it meant. Cutting off his head showed Qian Yuan's determination to rectify the Southeast. Perhaps it also means that he might attack Hu Yingjia, Wang Bengu, and Dong Yikui... Well, the other two may not be, but Wang Bengu will definitely be dealt with.

This is a signal from Qian Yuan that you, the chief minister of the cabinet, will not interfere in Southeast for the time being, so I, Qian Zhan, don’t care about how you fight to death in Beijing, and only care about the Southeast.

In a sense, Wang Bengu has been abandoned by Xu Jie.

If it was Gao Gong, he would not give up, but this is Xu Jie. He doesn't care about Southeast, he only cares about himself.

What's more, Xu Jie is very skilled in this set of techniques.

Of course, the reason why Xu Jie was willing to take over the "good intention" handed over by Qian Yuan was mainly because of Gao Gong.

Gao Gong is so domineering that people are impressed by the fact that he is almost blind. Xu Jie even saw Gao Gong in the cabinet's transfer to the Lijian Prison more than once, he planned to be awarded a prize... You shameless, if you want to do the job of awarding a prize, why don't you enter the palace if you want to do the job of awarding a prize?

In this case, Xu Jie, who adhered to the best of his kindness and was not fighting but competing for the strategy, was confident that he would defeat Gao Gong and truly settle the position of the chief minister of the cabinet.

This possibility exists. Compared with the original time and space, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne more than five years earlier. Among the old ministers in Qiandi, Gao Gong was qualified to enter the cabinet. Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng and others had little qualifications. Chen Yidu was diligent and was worried about filial piety. Li Chunfang, who had originally entered the cabinet during the Longqing period, was still just the Minister of Rites. If Gao Gong was defeated, Emperor Longqing would not find a candidate to replace Xu Jie.

Then, if you turn back and counterattack, you will be considered cleaning the Southeast and attack Qian Yuan... What Xu Jie is thinking about is probably the same as Qian Yuan, but the direction is reversed.

Therefore, on June 1st, Emperor Longqing issued an order, and the Beijing rumored that Qian Yuan had secretly left and went south three days ago, and had been jumping left and right to impeach Qian Yuan, impeached Jinghai Bo Wang Zhi, impeached Ningbo Prefect Hu Yingjia, impeached Zhejiang Inspector Wang Bengu, and even those censors who had not let Sun Ying go of Zhenhai County, basically shut up.

Many censors of the technicians were alert to Qian Yuan's journey south. They all remembered what his colleague had done in Zhejiang in the past... The big hole dug back then almost 80% of the censors jumped in. Then the one bent them with three hundred giant trees and sweet potatoes.

It is necessary to impeach Qian Yuan, but first of all, we must determine the success or failure of the guy going south... There is a fundamental difference between beating a dog that falls into the water and hitting a mad dog that will pounce on him and bite people at any time.

But on June 10, Wang Bengu was detained in the county government office. Qian Rui and Qian Yuan cleared Zhang Lian and Wang Yizhi, and when the negotiations with Wang Zhi were over, Wang Bengu's memorial to impeach Jing Haibo and rebelled finally entered the capital.

Generally speaking, it took about seven days for Zhejiang memorials to enter the capital, and Wang Bengu's memorials took ten days, so there was naturally a reason... If Zhoushan could be conquered by a battle, the court would probably not send important officials to the south. The biggest contribution was naturally Wang Bengu.

With Wang Yizhi as his inner support, Wang Bengu believed that he would quickly break through Zhoushan, and then he would reorganize the maritime business with Wang Yizhi as the leader. Wang Bengu and Hu Yingjian calmly held all business affairs in his hands.

Jinghai Bo Wang Zhi blatantly tried to capture Zhenhai County inside and outside. After failing, he fled out of the sea with the help of spies and wandered around Zhoushan. Zhejiang Inspector Wang Bengu and Zhejiang General Dong Yikui summoned all the troops to fight.

This seems to be a foregone conclusion.

What does Jing Haibo rebel again mean?

It represents the official opening of the sea that many people hope for is shattered, and it represents the intention of opening up the sea that many officials have adhered to to shatter the intention of turning the brigade into business.

It represents that the Southeast Tax Silver, which has always filled the Ministry of Revenue, has grown its wings and flew away, and it also represents the complete mistake of Qian Yuan's policy of advocating Wang Zhi back then.

There was a sudden uproar in the capital. Countless censors who had been silent began to write wild letters to impeach Jinghai Bo Wang Zhi, impeach Qian Yuan, who was recruiting Wang Zhi, and even Hu Zongxian, who had been dismissed from office.

What's more, there are rumors in the capital that Qian Zhancai recruited Wang Zhi and colluded deeply. Now that Wang Zhi rebelled again, Qian Zhancai went south in advance, which obviously had a premeditation.

The night wind blew, and the big trees transplanted from the garden rustled. Xu Wei, under the tree, sneered and handed the letter back to Wang Yi beside him, "Let the tiger return to the mountain?"
