Beijing, West Garden.

Outside Wanshou Palace, a young eunuch looked around the corner with his head twitching, holding a memorial in his hand.

Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, walked out of the palace gate slowly, waved his hand and called the young eunuch over, and cursed with a smile: "Monkey, pretending to behave, you've got a lot of benefits."

"Eunuch Huang, do you always see the money?" The young eunuch handed over the memorial and whispered: "It's really not good. The cabinet suppressed all the other memorials and handed only this one."

"Old Ge, Mr. Ge, Xu is so stingy?" Huang Jin said, opened the memorial casually and looked at it. He couldn't help but take a breath, turned around and trot back.

The relationship between the cabinet and the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the official position is complicated. The former is responsible for the votes, the latter is responsible for the approval of the dividends, the former is the head of all officials outside, and the latter is close to the emperor inside, and the coordination is also in checks and balances between each other.

However, during the Jiajing period, Yan Song was very favored by Jiajing, and Lu Bing's existence greatly weakened the rights and responsibilities of the Silijian.

It is hard to say whether this was deliberately created by Jiajing. Although he did not follow the rules, he did not learn the skills of checks and balances.

Two quarters of an hour later, Huang Jin came out with a bitter face and waved his hand to call the cabinet ministers, secretly scolding Zhang Banzhou for being really troublesome. Five years ago, this was the first time that the emperor was so angry.

Those who came to meet with the cabinet chief Yan Song, the cabinet chief Xu Jie, the cabinet group assistant Lu Ben, and the Ministry of Personnel Secretary Li Mo.

Emperor Jiajing, wearing a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking calm and not as angry as before.

It took a long time before Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes, his narrow eyes shining brightly, his thin lips and slightly sharp chin showed a very mean look.

"Jiaxing's victory, nearly two thousand Japanese soldiers were killed." Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on Yan Song, "Yi Zhong."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Yan Song's reaction was so fast that his old body fell to the ground at the first time, "Zhang Banzhou swept the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese riots in the southeast were quelled."

Emperor Jiajing's mouth curled slightly, and his sarcastic gaze turned to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was not panicked. "Three days ago, Zhao Wenhua, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, who went south to supervise the war, impeached Zhang Banzhou and did not fight. Hearing the impeachment memorial in the court, Fang hurriedly attacked. Jiaxing, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou were attacked by Japanese pirates, and the details of the period must be verified."

"Yizhong, Zhao Wenhua is your godson, let's talk about it." Emperor Jiajing reached out to pick up the impeachment memorial that he had kept at his hand for three days.

Yan Song stood up tremblingly and wanted to bow his hands to speak, but couldn't help but take a few breaths first.

"I won't bring a chair yet." Emperor Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin, "Zhang Jing said that he would plan thoroughly, lure the enemy into depth, and eventually defeat the Japanese pirates in the Wangjiangjing area.

But Zhao Wenhua said that the Japanese pirates came and went smoothly in Jiaxing Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture. It was not until Suzhou City was almost captured that Zhang Jing mobilized a large army to rescue the siege. After that, the Japanese pirates went south to Jiaxing Prefecture. Zhang Jing, located in Tongxiang, was almost captured by the Japanese pirates. It happened that the magistrate of Hangzhou Hu Zongxian mobilized Tianzhou's wolf soldiers to defeat the Japanese pirates."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Yan Song deeply, "Which military newspaper is true? Which military newspaper is false?"

Emperor Jiajing was scheming and very cunning. He did not believe that the military newspapers he handed over were not many people who could make trouble in the court, only Yan Song and Xu Jie, but Zhao Wenhua, who handed over the impeachment memorial, was a hard-core Yan Party, which made Jiajing let Xu Jie go unconsciously.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, no matter which military newspaper is fake, it at least means that the goods in Jiaxing's victory are real."

"You old guy!" Emperor Jiajing squinted his eyes and cursed.

First, sing praises, then slandering or framing them, or scattering them. This is Yan Song’s usual trick, and today is no exception. He bowed and said, “Zisheng is from Songjiang, and Ruli is from Yuyao. I believe the news is more informed than old ministers.”

Xu Jie and Lu Ben couldn't help but curse in their hearts, it was still a familiar operation and a familiar smell!

"I received a letter from the villagers a few days ago. More than 10,000 Japanese pirates occupied Jinshan Guards and divided their troops to rob them everywhere. Songjiang, Jiaxing and Suzhou were tragic." Xu Jie said with a stern face: "Many gentry went to Hangzhou for help, and Zhang Banzhouyan needed wolf-civilian soldiers to be in place before they could enter the suppression."

"Yongshun, when will Tianzhou's wolf soldiers be in place?" Emperor Jiajing's tone was cold.

"Yongshun Prefecture, the wolf soldiers of the Guishun Prefecture arrived in Jiaxing at the end of September, and the wolf soldiers of the Tianzhou arrived in Songjiang at the beginning of October."

"But it was November that Zhang Banzhou was in the fight against Japanese pirates..." Emperor Jiajing's voice slowly lowered, and he slapped the table next to him, roaring: "How come this is also called "suppression?"

"The Japanese pirates have all reached the city of Suzhou, and Zhang Jing has only sent troops to rescue him. If the Japanese pirates were not crazy and rushed south to attack Jiaxing, would Zhang Jing have watched the Japanese pirates escape calmly?!"

"Hold more than 100,000 heavy troops in your hand. Seeing the Japanese pirates rampant, are you Xu Jie and Lu Ben mute??"

Xu Jie bent down with a shame, and the MMP behind Lu Ben was in his heart. What a good thing he had never had, and he would bring me bad luck...

Yan Song sat there, and even brought a cup of hot tea that Huang Jin had sent to the eunuch. He thought that Xu Huating was a good guy in frame-up and he still needed to be vigilant in the future.

Xu Jie actually cleverly avoided Emperor Jiajing's question, and mentioned indirectly the time difference between the wolf clay soldiers and Zhang Jing's attack on the Japanese pirates. He pointed out the key that Emperor Jiajing was the most taboo. Zhang Banzhou held heavy troops and his power ranged across half of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not take the initiative to attack on the Japanese pirates.

What's this?

This is called raising Japanese people to respect themselves!

Xu Jie and Yan Song both served the emperor for many years. They knew Jiajing's temperament very well. The emperor's suspicion was as serious as Cao Mengde who killed someone in his dream.

The hall was quiet, and only the sound of Emperor Jiajing's breathing could be heard faintly.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing picked up the memorial thrown on the ground and sneered: "In the battle of Wang Jiangjing, Tian Zhou wolf soldiers killed more than a thousand Japanese pirates, and in the battle of Linpingshan, Hu Zongxian captured more than 400 Japanese pirates?"

Although Emperor Jiajing did not have military strategies, he understood the following ways. It would be good to be able to trust the memorials handed down below for more than five points.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates have many coastal fishermen, they are not producers, and their heads are not easy to identify like Mongolians." Yan Song explained with a smile: "But the prisoners can speak... The old minister knew that Zhao Wenhua was timid but not stupid, and he didn't dare to do such tricks of wearing it with just a poke."

"Hu Zongxian..." Emperor Jiajing frowned and thought for a while, "I remember it was the Huguang inspector before?"

"Your Majesty has a much better memory than the old ministers." Yan Song nodded, "Hu Zongxian was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing. He successively inspected Xuanfu and Datong, rectified border defenses, and appeased military chaos. Later, he inspected Huguang to quell the rebellion of the Miao people. Both literary and military strategies are worthy. Now the southeast is in need of such talents."

Emperor Jiajing glanced at him, "How much money did Hu Zongxian give you? He spoke for him so hard!"

The Yan Party’s demeanor of collecting cashiers and doing business has spread all over the capital, so why didn’t Emperor Jiajing know?

Yan Song smiled and said, "Your Majesty is joking. Zhao Wenhua impeached Zhejiang Governor Li Tianchong many times to get rid of alcohol. This war was scared away by Japanese pirates in Jiashan County. Jiashan was also destroyed because of this city. He saw Hu Zongxian's talent with his own eyes..."

Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes and said nothing. In his heart, Zhang Jing and Li Tianpeng did not care about it, but he would never allow him to remain in office.

What's more, Zhao Wenhua, a thief, attached the names of several gentry who were quite famous in the court after the memorial. Li Tianchong's greed for the cup of wine was not a fiction. He was responsible for being surrounded by Shaoxing and Jiashan's loss.

If Hu Zongxian was really talented, he would be a good candidate to take over as the governor of Zhejiang. However, Emperor Jiajing did not want to make a decision in a hurry, nor did he want the ministers in front of him to see through his thoughts easily.

The anger slowly faded in his heart. Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged and closed his eyes again.

"My lords, Your Majesty is going to practice." Huang Jin sent everyone out with slight help.
