In June, even the capital in the north was so hot. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty could still go to the summer resort without those emperors of later generations.

Most of the emperors who unified the dynasty spent most of their lives in the palace, and very few left the capital to visit. Since Emperor Jiajing entered the capital in the 15th year of Zhengde, he only left the capital and returned home in the first ten years. Since then, he has been in the capital, and has only moved from the palace to Xiyuan.

The back hall of Wanshou Palace was very empty, but it was not ventilated in front and behind. Even if the eunuchs brought ice, it would be difficult to relieve the heat. Although Huang Jin was shaking the fan around him, Emperor Jiajing was also irritated and picked up the soup bowl on the table and drank it all.

"When writing Qingci, you still have to do with Yan Donglou, Xu Wenchang..." Emperor Jiajing sighed at Qingci on the table.

Yan Shifan wrote the Qing Ci for his father Yan Song more than ten years ago, and how could Emperor Jiajing not know?

Although he successively recruited Li Chunfang, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei and other Hanlin people to enter the Western Garden, Emperor Jiajing still liked the Qing Ci written by Yan Shifan the most. The Qing Ci presented by Dong Fen last year was actually written by Yan Shifan.

However, since Xu Wei entered Xiyuan, let alone Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others, even Yan Shifan has gradually lost power in this regard.

So much so that Yan Shifan had to write a letter to Qian Yuan in the southeast, and finally reached an agreement to suppress Li Chunfang, Yuan Wei and others, but Xu Wei wanted to leave some share for Yan Shifan.

Emperor Jiajing didn't care about these little tricks that his ministers played with, and turned around and asked, "Wen Chang is now in the process of becoming a straightforward person?"

"Yes, someone has been sent to summon him." Huang Jin cautiously said nothing more.

Yesterday, a censor in the court wrote a letter to impeach and recruit Wang Zhi. Now the court and the party in the court have not made any comments on this matter publicly... At least on the surface, the southeast has also become the battlefield for the battle between Fenyi and Huating.

Hu Zongxian gained power by clinging to the Yan Party. Qian Yuan was Xu Jie's eldest grandson-in-law. The two were the anti-Japanese giants in the southeast and cooperated continuously, which led to the victory of Shangyu.

So before Yan Song and Xu Jie made a statement, although the news of Southeast Asia's desire to pacify Wang Zhi had already been introduced to the capital, few people talked about this matter.

The rash and insulting Censorate... all sued the three governors of Zhejiang, governors of Zhejiang, and governors of Zhejiang. Although the memorials were basically speculations, they had already caused undercurrents in the court.

Emperor Jiajing didn't care about these things. It was Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan's business. If he did it well, he would reward him and do it badly... Although he admired Qian Yuan very much, he had to throw it away.

But Emperor Jiajing was concerned about whether he could successfully recruit Wang Zhi, Zhejiang, and Su Song would be able to transfer financial resources to the center... Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, met with him yesterday and said bluntly that he could no longer pay the salary of the Beijing official.

This information cannot be seen from the military newspapers of the Ministry of War, and it is difficult to see from the secret newspapers of the Jinyiwei, but Emperor Jiajing believed that he could look at it from Qian Yuan's secret letter.

After waiting for a long time, the eunuch led Xu Wei into the hall.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Xu Wei's face was red, obviously being exposed to the scorching afternoon sun.

"Get up." Emperor Jiajing pointed to the round stool opposite, "Yellow companion."

Huang Jin brought a bowl of soup over, "Where are Wen Chang going, I'm going, take a break first."

"Smoothie." Xu Wei smiled and said, "This is mung bean smoothie, and the restaurant is in short supply."

"The silver is also a lot of money!" Emperor Jiajing was a little jealous. The cooked mung bean soup was frozen in the deep well for an hour, then added ice chips ground into small particles, and in one bite, the heat was completely eliminated.

Once this kind of good thing was launched, it was naturally in short supply. It is said that the price has increased three times in a row, but it is still not enough to sell.

"Last year, the exhibition dug deep cellars to hide ice? Huang Jin asked curiously.

"Of course not." Xu Wei finished two or three sips, "Zhancai has a secret method of making ice, which he mentioned in the cold winter of the previous year."

If Qian Yuan knew about this, he would be ashamed and Xiao Qi would be so laughed... Qian Yuan mentioned the method of making ice in the nitrous ice the next year, but he had not done it yet. Xu Wei had studied it.

Emperor Jiajing glanced at the little eunuch beside him, "Where is this from?"

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, "Zhi Lu."

Emperor Jiajing frowned. Among the Hanlin people who wrote Qing Ci in Zhixiyuan, only Xu Wei would go to Zhilu, the cabinet office. This was acquiesced by Emperor Jiajing because in the war situation in the southeast, Qian Yuan's secret letter and Xu Wei's explanation were quite important in Emperor Jiajing's heart.

"Zhancai has a letter?" Emperor Jiajing immediately asked this. Xu Wei would not have gone to Zhilu for no reason, and the Ministry of War had no military report. It could only be that Qian Yuan sent a message with a secret letter.

"Yes, the guards sent a letter to Beijing yesterday." Xu Wei showed a bitter smile, "I'm going to help someone run away."

"Running the official?" Emperor Jiajing frowned even more and said disdainfully: "Does Zhan want to return to Beijing?"

"What big thing can you do if you don't have a long life like this!"

"The Southeast has not yet been settled, what should I do when I come back?"

"I originally wanted to reward him as a bachelor's degree, but it was really unsatisfactory!"

In fact, Emperor Jiajing hoped that Qian Yuan would make trouble in the southeast. At least the trouble of this minister was to move the situation in the direction he hoped... At least, in terms of the option of recruiting Wang Zhi or starting a war, Emperor Jiajing actually agreed with Qian Yuan's choice and recruiting Wang Zhi.

However, Emperor Jiajing would not openly admit it... If Wang Zhi rebelled in the future, would Emperor Jiajing take the blame?

Of course Qian Yuan came to bear it.

After Emperor Jiajing finished cursing a series of words, Xu Wei touched his cheek and blinked and said softly: "It was Zhancai who ran to the office, but it was not himself."

Emperor Jiajing glared at him, "Don't you know how to finish the words at once?" I don't know how to make it clear before I can make it clear. Now I'm embarrassed, right?"

At this time, Huang Jin could only stand up, "Who is Zhan Cai going to run for?"

"Taizhou Tongzhi Tang Jingchuan, Shaoxing Prefecture Zhenhai County Magistrate Song Jizu." Xu Wei glanced at Emperor Jiajing's face and whispered: "Zhan Cai's letter clearly stated that the matter of retrieval has been decided, and the next thing is..."

"Enable the sea ban and trade ban." Emperor Jiajing snorted, "This guy just never forgets to open the sea ban and trade ban. This matter is not that easy!"

"Zhancai is also considering the country's wealth." Xu Wei paused and added: "Of course, it's not selfish."

"Is there any selfishness?" Huang Jin asked curiously.

Xu Wei spread his hands together, "The peppers were brought to Hangzhou by sea merchants. Zhancai had no intention of buying them, so..."

"Just a foodie!" Emperor Jiajing cursed.

"A big event in life." Xu Wei smiled and said, "Zhancai also boasted that there is a crop overseas that is drought-resistant and easy to live, can replace grains, and is several times more than the per mu of rice."

Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "I don't know what's up... Tell him, if there is really this, I will reward him with a title!"

"If this is true, I can survive all the people. In my reply, I will say clearly that Xu Wenchang would be willing to kowtow to him." Xu Wei obviously did not believe this.

Huang Jin looked at the expression of Emperor Jiajing and asked, "Wen Chang, what's the matter with Zhan Cai's official position?"

"Huang Fan, haven't you heard it yet?" Emperor Jiajing leaned obliquely on the side of the couch, "Of course it was to open a ban on sea bans."

"I dare not say that the sea ban is opened, it is just a business transaction. Even if it is a business transaction, it can be done or not." Xu Wei smiled bitterly and took out an oil paper bag from his arms and spread the folded map on the gold bricks.

"Zhancai was chosen in Houtao Mountain, Zhenhai County, Ningbo Prefecture." Xu Wei skillfully took the Ruyi handed over by Huang Jin, and pointed it on the map. "This place choked the throat of the Yongjiang River and was the key way for merchant ships to enter and exit. This is a must-fight place for military strategists."

Emperor Jiajing frowned slightly, "A place that military strategists must fight for?"

"That's why Zhan Cai chose to build a city on the top of Hou Tao Mountain and stationed with elite troops." Xu Wei explained: "This city and Zhenhai County rely on each other. It is difficult to crack the attack of Japanese pirates. Under this protection, business can be done without any obstacles."

Emperor Jiajing thought about it in his heart before nodding slightly, "He was considerate."

"If you do this, you can't be too cautious." Xu Wei whispered: "Zhan Cai's letter mentioned that if there is no obstacle, there will be a fleet going to sea in the past two days."

Emperor Jiajing didn't say anything, Huang Jin suddenly asked, "Have you paid the tax silver?"

"Puchi." Emperor Jiajing couldn't help laughing, "Look, the first trouble is coming, Huang Fan is coming to steal the money."

"It's not for the sake of the emperor..."

"Pay tax and silver...it's not a name now." Xu Wei smiled and said, "Besides, this is not the first trouble for Zhan Cai."

"oh?"

"The first trouble is that Hou Taoshan wants to build a city, a wharf, a warehouse, and a leveling road... Zhancai is an inspector, where can he get the money?"

"That……"

"In the words of Zhan Caixin, this is called making money from nothing."

Xu Wei explained briefly and said to the helpless Huang Jin: "Eunuch Huang, I'm afraid the Tax Silver will be out of the way for a while, but it's a bit... The prefect of Shaoxing confiscates it on his behalf."

Before Huang Jin could think so much, Emperor Jiajing sneered: "The two people who ran away from Zhan Cai... who was promoted to the prefect of Shaoxing?"
