Chapter 210 Come and ask in person
The back hall of Wanshou Palace.
Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged on the cushion and meditated quietly. For this "Nine Heavens Hong Sects to help the living creatures with yin and yang merits and demerits, the Great Way of Siren, the Purple Immortal, Weng Yiyang, Yuanxuxuan, Yinghuanhua, subdue the demons, loyalty and filial piety", nothing is more important than his practice of Taoism.
But practicing Taoism takes time, so he favors Yan Song, who never makes trouble for him.
However, practicing Taoism requires a large amount of money, so he was extremely indignant of the Japanese riots in Jiangnan.
This back hall looks like nothing luxurious, but in fact... the cushions under Emperor Jiajing's butt are outlined with gold and silver threads.
Of course, Emperor Jiajing's anger this time was mainly due to his swollen face.
Think about it, when I was promoted to heaven and saw my ancestors, many years ago, it was still the fault of the Ming Chengzu. Who asked him to move the capital to Beijing? But Nanjing... I believe that the Ming Taizu buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum would kick him over.
Opening his eyes slightly, Emperor Jiajing asked softly: "Come?"
"I have been waiting outside for more than half an hour."
After a while, Lu Bing walked into the back hall with elegant and unique steps, holding a booklet in both hands.
"Your Majesty, Lu Bing..."
"Get up and talk."
Lu Bing stood up and said respectfully: "The Japanese pirates first attacked Beixin Pass in Hangzhou, then rushed to Yanzhou Prefecture, westward into Huizhou Prefecture, then northward to Ningguo Prefecture, crossed the Yangtze River and entered Taiping Prefecture, and were wiped out in the villages more than ten miles away from Machang Town, with only one living pirate remaining and suddenly died in Nanjing five days later."
"The Japanese pirates ran rampant for 1,400 miles, crossed six palaces, defeated more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, village warriors, and killed more than 5,000 people. More than ten officials from all over the country were killed, three retired officials were killed, five cities were lost, dozens of villages and towns were burned."
Emperor Jiajing was angry again, but after taking a breath, he tried to suppress it and a sentence broke out from his teeth, "Which Japanese pirates are rampant, will the Zhejiang Governor's Office and the Governor's Office be pursued?"
"Yes." Lu Bing nodded and said, "The Governor's Office sent 700 soldiers, including 300 wolf soldiers, following and pursuing them."
"Warring in Jixi County, the Japanese pirates were defeated, but retreated and set up an ambush, and the officers and soldiers were defeated."
Emperor Jiajing's anger slightly retreated. It seemed that Hu Zongxian was at least not like Zhang Jing who was ungrateful, "What's the matter behind?"
"After that, the officers and soldiers gathered the remaining soldiers and summoned the township warriors, led by the wolf soldiers leader Zhong Nan and the Huizhou Prefecture General Qian Zheng, who pursued them all the way and defeated the Japanese pirates outside Nanling County."
"The General of Caojiang Shi Baoshan was defeated by Taiping Prefecture, and it was also the leader of the wolf soldiers Zhong Nan who led his troops to force the Japanese pirates to retreat."
"That night, the wolf soldiers attacked at night and wiped out all the Japanese pirates, but the details were not very clear."
Emperor Jiajing thought about it in his mind and asked: "The report said that the wolf soldiers arrived in time..."
"This wolf soldiers were chasing from Hangzhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, and Huizhou Prefecture. Another newly arrived wolf soldiers arrived with Dong Bangzheng, deputy general of Wusong." Lu Bing hesitated for a while and said: "Dong Bangzheng should have been assigned by Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian to rush to Taiping Prefecture."
Emperor Jiajing faintly heard something and stared at Lu Bing for a long time without saying anything. Although he had trust in the breast brother in front of him, he was the one with the most suspicious illness in the world.
Lu Bing couldn't hold on anymore and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are some weirdnesses..."
Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Say, make it clear."
"In fact, Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian sent troops to pursue him... He was from Huizhou Prefecture, and from Jixi, but among the soldiers sent, there were three hundred Tianzhou wolf soldiers..."
Lu Bing quietly looked up and smiled, "Do you remember Qian Yuan, a student of Huating in Songjiang?"
"Qian Yuan?"
"It is Chongde defeating the Japanese pirates in a battle... It is the captive of four hundred Japanese pirates from Pingshan outside Hangzhou..."
"Oh, the scholar who drugged it!" Emperor Jiajing's grim face loosened a little and smiled: "Is this matter related to him?"
"Yes, he was kidnapped by Japanese pirates in She County." Lu Bing explained carefully: "Last year, Tianzhou Wolf soldiers were in the southeast, and the governments in various places refused to accept it, and there was no supply. Qian Yuan was rushing around and letting Tianzhou Wolf soldiers station in Songjiang Prefecture."
"Tianzhou's wolf soldiers are strict in military discipline and do not violate them. They are very polite to Qian Yuan. This time Qian Yuan was kidnapped by Japanese pirates, and the wolf soldiers volunteered to pursue him."
Emperor Jiajing nodded, "What a pity, what a pity."
In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, Qian Yuan, who was kidnapped by the Japanese pirates, was unlucky.
Lu Bing blinked and licked his lips and whispered: "Your Majesty, Qian Yuan is not dead..."
"Not dead?!"
"Yes, that night the wolf soldiers attacked and wiped out all the Japanese pirates, and Qian Yuan still survived." Lu Bing smiled bitterly and said, "This is the strange place."
Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but get up and walked back and forth a few steps, murmured for a moment, "From Huizhou Prefecture to Taiping Prefecture... thousands of miles away, the Japanese pirates did not kill him, and the wolf soldiers attacked at night and even snatched people out..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this fact is very strange." Lu Bing whispered: "So, there are many rumors in Nanjing and even the southeast. Some say that he endured humiliation and lived a life of silence, some say that he became a Japanese pirate, and there are even rumors..."
"What?"
"There is no rumor that there is no night attack by the wolf soldiers. Qian Yuan killed all the Japanese pirates alone." Lu Bing spread his hands, "I have ordered the Nanjing Jinyiwei to try my best to inquire, but no news has been sent yet."
Emperor Jiajing laughed, the rumor was too nonsense, "It could be the rumor that Qian Yuan himself made, right?"
Lu Bing did not answer this time, just lowered his head.
Emperor Jiajing sat cross-legged on the cushion again and asked casually: "What else is there?"
"The provincial examination in Nanzhili is about to be held, and scholars have a lot of discussions about this matter. Some attribute it to Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian, some attribute it to Yingtian Governor Cao Bangfu, some attribute it to Zhejiang Governor Yang Yi, and some attribute it to Tian Zhoulangbing..."
Emperor Jiajing snorted, everyone said that they were loyal to the country and had no selfless thoughts, but everyone was trying to win the merits. Behind all this, naturally, the dispute between Yan Song and Xu Jie in the court, perhaps Li Mo would be added.
"No one attributes the money...what's money?"
"Qian Yuan." Lu Bing curled his lips, "He is now a little bad. It is said that in the battle of Nanling, the county magistrate and son both died in battle. At that time, someone saw him among the Japanese pirates and wounded the injured Japanese pirates after the war."
Emperor Jiajing raised his head and thought for a while, and slowly said, "Now my husband said he was right and his wife said he was right. My daughter-in-law ignored him and even had to talk about the reason... In other words, only Qian Yuan, a student at Huating, knows it?"
"yes."
"Where is he now?"
"Nanjing, Nanzhili provincial examination candidates." Lu Bing paused and continued: "Qi Yuan had sex with many officials, including Duke Wei."
"This little scholar has many opportunities." Emperor Jiajing's mouth curled a smile, "He has made great contributions to the Japanese invasion three times, but now he has been rumored to be a group of Japanese pirates..."
"After the provincial examination, let him enter Beijing and I will ask questions myself."
In the chaotic war situation in the southeast, more than a hundred Japanese pirates rushed thousands of miles to guide Nandu. The officers and soldiers along the way could not stop them, and the government and the government fought endlessly, and even the Jinyiwei could not find out more.
