The snow and eaves in the palace were gone by the eunuchs in the palace. The dawn was just revealed, and an urgent report was already handed over to the palace.

The 800-mile rush was urgently reported by the governor of Zhejiang, or in other words, this was the last report of the governor of Zhejiang, which was placed on several cases of the only Grand Secretary in the cabinet.

Yang Tinghe looked at the anxious report in a daze. The urgent report sent out while Hangzhou fell was really horrifying.

Hangzhou is not an ordinary small town, and it is okay that other places are occasionally attacked by thieves. From Zhengde years to now, it is common for these counties to be attacked every now and then. If something happens, it is impossible to suppress it. However, Hangzhou is different. Hangzhou is a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River and an administrative center of Zhejiang Province. Not to mention that there is a weaving bureau here and a purchasing eunuch.

The destruction of Hangzhou is the most shocking thing since the pacification of the Japanese, and it can also be said to be the most shocking thing since King Ning’s rebellion. Yang Tinghe’s face was gloomy and he felt a lot of pressure. He didn’t have to be on duty on the second day of the Lunar New Year, but he still came here. Not only that, some people have notified the officials of various departments to be on duty as usual.

"Come." Yang Tinghe was not interested in other memorials, but immediately called the clerk over.

"exist."

"Immediately, I will give each department a notice. After an hour, I will discuss it at Chongdianting."

He made a decision and naturally entered the palace to meet him without mentioning him.

On the warm pavilion, Jiajing received the news earlier, and was surprised to hear that Hangzhou was falling, and the young emperor's face was covered with dark clouds, and he was paced back and forth in the pavilion in anger.

This is the biggest variable since the throne, and it has been pacified. Not only has the number of Japanese pirates gone, but now it has become more and more severe, and it has defeated Hangzhou in one fell swoop. This matter cannot be covered no matter what. Hangzhou is not only a place in Tianjin, but also one of the few giant towns in the Ming Dynasty. It has extraordinary significance, and what is even more terrifying is that what is chaos in Jiangnan is still unknown.

"Is there any news? Why is there no news at all? What are the factories and guards doing? Why is there no news in advance? All the wine bags are wine bags, from the ministers to the servants, all the slaves are waste, and they are rice buckets."

Jiajing is particularly angry today, with Hangzhou falling. Not only has the new policy become a laughing stock, but his so-called new atmosphere since his ascension to the throne also became a joke.

Because he had just accepted the Eternal Pill, his original hot and red face made him look even more ferocious. He suddenly stopped and looked at Huang Jin under his feet and said, "Speak. Talk!"

Huang Jin was so scared that he didn't dare to let out. Of course he knew that this was not his responsibility. But the problem was that Long Yan was furious now, and the people around him often became the targets of venting their anger. If it was not good, the gutter might capsize. He said carefully: "Your Majesty... Since the governor of Zhejiang surrender, all officials of all sizes should die!"

"Damn?" A murderous aura flashed through Jiajing's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "How can it be so easy to die? Now that the Japanese pirates take Hangzhou, would they still want to subvert the country? What are the cabinet doing, where are my ministers of martial arts?"

Huang Jin said: "Sir Yang has already entered the cabinet and officials of all departments have cancelled their holidays to work in the yamen. The cabinet has already decided to discuss the court..."

"The court discussion...the court discussion...the court discussion...the court discussion is useless? Can the court discussion drive the Japanese pirates away? It's ridiculous!" Jiajing sneered and said uneasy: "What should I do now? What should I do? I usually only care about intrigues, but now something happens, what should I do?"

Huang Jin is just a slave, so how could he know what to do? To be honest, if such a thing happened all of a sudden, I am afraid that there are not many people in this capital who can know what to do. People with ulterior motives may want to use this incident to attack political enemies. Even if they are sincere in serving the country and the people, they will probably have no idea.

After all, this matter is too sensational, and it is far away from all over the world. Most people are blinded. What ideas can they come up with?

Jiajing sighed and said, "Stop it, just ask me, just ask Xu Qian and ask him to enter the palace immediately."

Huang Jin responded in a hurry and was about to go out, but an eunuch came in outside to report: "Lu Zheng, the commander of Jinwu Guard, asked for a visit?"

"Lu Zheng..." Jiajing frowned, and immediately remembered that Lu Zheng was outside the capital last night. Not only Lu Zheng, but also Xu Qian had already brought his troops outside the city.

He said with a gloomy face: "Call in and speak."

After a while, Lu Zheng, whose eyes were red and his body was covered in dew, stepped in with his boots, knelt down and bowed, and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Jiajing forced a little smile and said, "Lu Aiqing asked for a meeting, but I don't know what's going on?"

Lu Zheng said: "Last night, the Royal Academy pulled out of the camp and headed straight to Tianjin. The minister was unsuccessful and ordered people to ask, but they said they were going to Hangzhou."

"Hangzhou..." The eyes of the masters and slaves in the pavilion almost fell off.

He came to do a good job of doing things and stationed people outside the city. Who knew that in just a short while, these guys went to Hangzhou without even saying hello. Logically speaking, the court had its own rules to mobilize troops. For example, if you want to mobilize troops, at least you must have a minister of the Ministry of War or an imperial edict, which is not something you can leave at will.

Xu Qian was really bold and left as he said that he would leave. The imperial edict asked him to do it, but he left without saying hello. If it really came to light, it would definitely be a serious crime.

Of course, whether there is any crime or not, it depends on what you think. There was a story in the past, that is, a certain king had a great relationship with his favorite minister. Once someone offered a tribute to a certain fruit. The favorite minister first tasted it and told the king that the fruit was very sweet and asked His Majesty to use it. After hearing this, the king was very moved and told the man that this person was really loyal. After he tasted it himself, the fruit was sweet before he was willing to eat it. It shows his loyalty. A few years later, the favored minister fell out of favor, and the king became more and more disliked. Someone offered a certain fruit, and the favored minister re-uses the same trick. After tasting it, he offered it to the king. Unexpectedly, the king was furious and scolded, "You are so brave that you dare to let me eat your saliva, and someone came out and chop it."

From this we can see that in this era, whether the same thing is a merit or a guilt depends entirely on the emperor's thoughts. If the emperor trusts you more, he will naturally excuse you and even thinks that you are a manifestation of loyalty. But if the emperor dislikes you, there are also reasons to think that you have other intentions and want to rebel.

Fortunately, although the person was taken away, Jiajing did not show his anger. Instead, he pondered for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Is he going to Hangzhou?"

Lu Zheng was thinking of saying good things to Xu Qian, but when he saw Jiajing ask this, he was a little confused and said, "That's right, they go to Hangzhou and go to Tianjin first, maybe by the canal, but it may also be by sea transportation. I don't know what the details are, but... there is something strange, I think..."

Jiajing was no longer interested in listening to what he thought. His face couldn't help but show a bit of worry, but it was mixed with a bit of joy. What was happy was that Xu Qian had received the news in advance, and he was also anxious about his own concerns. He was afraid that Jiangnan would have a chain reaction, so he directly pulled the team to Hangzhou. Knowing that doing so might cause controversy, might arouse others' accusations, and might even be responsible for the crime of arbitrarily transferring officers and soldiers, but Xu Qian still did not hesitate and lifted his legs and left. It can be seen that this guy is a hard-core activist, and he deserves the word "the emperor's confidant".

What Jiajing was worried about was that the so-called good news in the past must have been mixed with water. Faced with such a brutal Japanese pirate, the more than a thousand royal pirates alone were afraid that the Japanese pirates would not be wiped out. Instead, this hot-headed guy was left to the point, not to mention that the royal pirates were mostly from powerful people. Once they were all involved, this was not a joke.

Jiajing immediately smiled bitterly and said to Lu Zheng: "When did they move when you get up and talk?"

Lu Zheng became more and more strange. Logically speaking, Long Yan should be furious at the moment. Why is His Majesty’s reaction so complicated? He dared not hesitate and said: “At midnight last night, I saw that the situation was not good, so I hurried to Beijing to send a message. As soon as the city gate was opened this morning, I came.”

"Zhongshi!" Jiajing frowned even deeper: "If it were Zhongshi, they would have arrived in Tianjin now. It would be too late for me to order people to call them back. Alas... Xu Aiqing is good at everything, but he is too impulsive. I know that he is sharing my worries for me, so I don't care about the consequences. But I am so reckless, I'm afraid that something big will happen. Lu Aiqing, I'm afraid you have to go there and go to Tianjin quickly. If the people from the Royal Academy are still there, I will immediately pass on my will and order them to return to Beijing. If they don't come back..." Jiajing paused for a moment and said slowly: "Then I can only give up."

Lu Zheng understood in his heart that something must have happened in Hangzhou, so Xu Qian pulled the team so panic and ran away. As for what happened, he did not dare to ask, so he had to say, "I obey the order."

Jiajing seemed to have thought of something again, and slowly said to Huang Jin: "Immediately draft an order in the CSR Supervisor, which means that the Hangzhou incident was in full swing. Therefore, Xu Qian, a scholar, was transferred to Hangzhou as an imperial envoy, and went to Hangzhou to suppress the bandits with the royal lieutenant. This order is planned, and there is no need to be sent out. It is archived first. I am worried that once the officials heard about this, they will take the opportunity to impeach Xu Qian and dispatch troops without authorization. If Xu Qian cannot return to Beijing on time, then send this order out and all the world will hear it. If someone asks, it will say that what happened last night was my arrangement. Besides, Huang's companion, Xu Qian will not come back tomorrow. You can order a eunuch to take a team of factory guards to Hangzhou to meet with Xu Qian and listen to his dispatch."
