Chapter 395 394 Fujian incident

Gao Gong was still actively seeking solutions to a bomb that Wei Guangde had buried for himself without any intention. Now Wei Guangde is a flag in the court of Prince Yu's mansion, and there must be no mistakes.

That night, after Gao Gong and Wei Guangde had a secret talk, although they did not clarify what to do next, they had a general idea, which was to find an opportunity to take the initiative to break the matter in front of Emperor Jiajing, and avoid being reported to the emperor by political enemies in private.

The reason why the response strategy was not immediately decided was because the incident happened suddenly. Both Wei Guangde and Gao Gong still hoped to find a better solution. After all, although it was possible to get some initiative by actively breaking the Qingci incident, it is difficult to guess what kind of punishment Emperor Jiajing would make.

In the following days, Wei Guangde did not relax because of the preparation plan, but instead was seeking other ways to break the deadlock.

During this period, because no major incident occurred in the court, Xiyuan no longer summoned ministers. However, the cabinet memorials were sent to the palace step by step every day. The next day, the Sili Supervisor approved the reward and returned to the cabinet for processing.

Therefore, although Wei Guangde knew that some things could not be left behind because of luck, he was not so anxious.

After such a delay, more than ten days passed.

In the past half a month, Wei Guangde did not do anything. He made an appointment with Chen Ju to secretly touch him and informed Qing Ci in detail.

Although there was no final decision on countermeasures, Wei Guangde felt that no matter whether he was active or passive, it would be best for the people in the palace to know in advance.

There are people in the palace, whether they are supporting Gao Gong or guarding against someone to file a lawsuit alone, at least the palace knows what's going on, and they won't be caught off guard and don't know how to deal with it.

Those who are familiar with Emperor Jiajing are actually the people around him. In addition to the important officials in the court, they are the eunuchs around the emperor.

In order to be able to be a major official of the Jiajing Dynasty, in addition to being valued by the emperor in ability or ethics, one must be a sensible person. At least he cannot make the emperor hate it, otherwise it is impossible to reach that position.

As for the eunuchs around the emperor, in addition to being able to understand the emperor's meaning, understand the emperor's preferences, meet their preferences, and serve the emperor comfortably, they also have to be loyal.

Wei Guangde explained the matter clearly, and wanted to see how Chen Ju and Gao Zhong behind him viewed this matter. Based on their understanding of the emperor, Emperor Jiajing was furious or smiled after learning about this matter.

But within two days, Wei Guangde received a note sent by Chen Ju. What disappointed him was that there was no answer in the note.

The Qingci incident happened in Wuyi Hall at that time. There were little servants outside the hall, so naturally they could hear the conversations in the hall without missing a word.

In other words, eunuchs like Chen Ju who are not of sufficient rank do not know, but Huang Jin and Gao Zhong already knew about this that night.

However, even though they knew, they had no obligation to help Wei Guangde, so they all adopted a laissez-faire attitude. At least they would not get on the pole until Wei Guangde took the initiative to come.

If Wei Guangde had a deeper understanding of the situation in the officialdom and the palace, he might have been able to analyze it from clues.

In fact, in Huang Jin and Gao Zhong's view, Wei Guangde's green poem was almost the same, but what they were worried about was not what Emperor Jiajing was concerned about.

In other words, even if this matter is directly exposed to Emperor Jiajing, it is normal to say a few words and punish it slightly. Of course, the prerequisite is that there are no other incidents.

In fact, even if the court fights are really made, timing is very important.

If the time is right, even if a big mistake is made, it may turn big things into small or even invisible. If the time is not right, it may make small mistakes seized and magnified infinitely, and ultimately irreversible.

However, these are not something that Gao Gong, who had just entered the palace ban, and Wei Guangde, who is now, can understand.

Although Gao Gong has been incredible in the past two years, don’t forget that he was just an official in Prince Yu’s Mansion for more than ten years, and he did not have much real power, so he was very unfamiliar to the court.

Although Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion have been fighting openly and secretly, those battles are no different from children in the eyes of powerful bosses like Yan Song and Xu Jie.

Seeing the two kings fighting fiercely, they actually had no impact on the government.

But as they were worried, perhaps no one was willing to mention others' mistakes, but if it was Yan Shifan's words behind the scenes, it would be a different matter.

As for Xu Jie, he actually keenly captured these things when Gao Gong visited him, but he did not tell Gao Gong the truth, but agreed very simply.

In Xu Jie's opinion, it is just a favor. It's just a favor. When the emperor summons him, he can just find an opportunity to talk about this matter.

However, it seems that nothing is developing according to their ideal plot.

On this day, Xu Jie was handling memorials on the cabinet. A clerk outside hurried into the door and muttered a few words in Xu Jie's ear.

"Let him in."

Xu Jie then put down what he had in his hand and sat upright.

After a moment, a little servant entered the house, saluted Xu Jie and shouted: "George, Your Majesty announces that you will enter the Western Garden to see you."

"I see."

Then Xu Jie stood up, and the clerk next to him quickly helped him clean up the memorials on the table, as if he wanted to sort out the approved memorials and send them to the palace.

"Geither Xu, Your Majesty is still waiting."

The little servant said again.

The subtext of this sentence is naturally to stop wasting time, and I will talk about these things later.

Xu Jie glanced at the little servant. There was no expression on his face and he couldn't see anything. Xu Jie couldn't figure out what happened in Xiyuan again, so he had to nod and respond.

Then he took a step and went out after the little servant. He saw Yan Song's back who was getting into the sedan chair.

I was a little scared. Something must have happened, otherwise I would have asked him and Yan Song to go to Xiyuan.

For ordinary trivial matters, they would only pick him or Yan Songzhong over, and only if they were not small would they call them away.

Soon, the sedan chair arrived in front of the Xiyuan gate. The two got out of the sedan chair, exchanged a few greetings and entered Xiyuan one after another.

When the two entered Yongshou Palace, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. The eunuchs of all sizes standing around were well-behaved and did not dare to make any big noises. Obviously, the emperor was in a bad mood at this moment.

Before receiving the summons, the clerk around him only said that something might be wrong in the West Garden. A few young servants were sent out from Yongshou Palace, but they didn't know what happened. Now, depending on the situation, what happened seems to be small.

After growing its power, it joined forces with Lin Chaoxi of Chengxiang, Luopao of Dapu, Yang Shun of Xiaojing, Zhang Gongyou, Lai Ci, Baitu Li Dongjin and other ministries. Now it has gathered 100,000 small people, constantly disturbing Longyan, Shanghang and Longjing counties in Fujian and Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong.

Nearly one hundred thousand people?

Seeing this number, Yan Song and Xu Jie felt a little bitter. They were no longer a group of thieves.

But the key point is that the governor of Fujian did not report this matter. It was found that the letter from the Jinyiwei was still sent by the Jinyiwei Qianhu in Guangzhou.

Cover.

At this moment, Yan Song and Xu Jie both thought of the reason why the Fujian government did not dare to report it.

Perhaps at the beginning, Fujian sent troops to suppress it, but it seemed that it had failed.

If you lose, you naturally don’t dare to report this matter.

"What do you think Liu Tao is doing now?"

Before the two of them could answer, Emperor Jiajing asked coldly again.

Liu Tao was the governor of Fujian. According to the meaning of the document, most of the activities of this rebel are in southern Fujian and in northeastern Guangdong. Obviously, the Fujian government should send troops to suppress it.

Both of them bowed their heads and dared not chew on the sound, which was really difficult to answer this question.

In fact, this matter was also very unfair to Yan Song and Xu Jie. The cabinet did not receive any reports from Fujian and Guangdong on this matter.

The unstable prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are naturally heard of. In fact, it is not just Jiangnan, but the thieves have been everywhere in the north over the years. But I didn’t expect that the people in the south are more bold and the situation is more severe than in the north. There have been a large force of tens of thousands of people.

If the cabinet had known about this, of course it would not have been delayed, and it would immediately issue an order to suppress it quickly.

However, after Yan Song quickly browsed the official letter in his hand again, he immediately thought of the words and bowed to Emperor Jiajing and said, "Your Majesty, September and October are the period of Japanese pirates. At this time, Governor Liu's main energy should be focused on eliminating Japanese pirates. He may be a little helpless towards Zhang Lian's group of rebels."

"Your Majesty, from the official letter, Zhang Lian is from Guangdong and initially committed a crime in Guangdong. It is best to do this matter in Guangdong. Fujian joins forces to wipe out. If Fujian sends troops to encircle and suppress them, if the rebels robbers disturb Guangdong or even Jiangxi, it is probably difficult to quickly wipe out them."

Xu Jie also spoke at this time.

"What you mean is that Liu Tao has no fault and has made contributions to the Japanese suppression."

Emperor Jiajing said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"I dare not, from the official documents, the thieves are mainly dominated by the robbers in Dapu, the boat people in Nanwan, the mountain people in Youxi, the miners in Longyan, the refugees in Nanjing, Yongding and other places. They cannot be taken lightly and should be wiped out as soon as possible.

It is November now, and the Japanese pirates along the coast have retreated. It is an opportunity to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them. I should quickly issue an order for Liu Tao to mobilize his troops to wipe them out."

Yan Song answered immediately.

Emperor Jiajing did not comment on the response method proposed by Yan Song and looked at Zhu Xizhong, Duke Cheng Guo who was next to him.

Zhu Xizhong was just lowering his head at this time, not knowing whether he was thinking about this matter.

Emperor Jiajing looked back at Xu Jie. As a secondary assistant, he should have his own opinions at this time.

When Xu Jie saw Emperor Jiajing's gaze, he knew that it was time for him to express his opinion. He hurriedly took a step and bowed and replied: "In the past year, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, Japanese disasters frequently occur. The primary energy of governments in various places should be to suppress the Japanese. They may be slightly relaxed under their control.

Fujian's achievements in the Imperial Japanese invasion were outstanding, and Governor Liu's contributions could be made. "
