Chapter 396 395 Fujian Censor

When Xu Jie saw Emperor Jiajing's gaze, he knew in his heart that it was time for him to express his opinion. No matter what, he was the second assistant of the current dynasty.

So he hurriedly took a step and bowed and replied: "In the past year, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, Japanese plagues frequently occur. The primary energy of governments in various places should be to suppress Japanese dynasties, and they may be slightly relaxed in their governance.

I remember that I only approved the Ministry of War’s memorial to request merit last month. In April and May, the new Japanese and Yuegang and other old gangs jointly plundered all over Fujian. Liu Tao took office and made plans. He first fought in Changle and Fujian. He first defeated the Japanese spirit and then went to Xingquan, chased Yuegang, and the Chongwu bandits and the Qiling Lianao. Wherever the soldiers passed, there was no rigid formation, and there was no water to complete the ship.

I remember that in the end, Governor Liu Tao made his first contribution, and Governor Hu Zongxian made his second contribution. Fujian achieved reigns on Japanese Japanese. It was indelible to governor Liu. It could make him make meritorious contributions and eliminate Zhang Lian’s rebels within a time limit."

Xu Jie mentioned that Liu Tao's achievements in Fujian were made. Emperor Jiajing remembered that this was the case. He only issued an order to praise him not long ago. Moreover, Liu Tao has been serving as the governor of Fujian for more than half a year. Some mistakes have occurred, and it seems that his achievements should not be erased.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Jiajing looked at Yan Song and asked, "Which, what do you think?"

"His Majesty."

Yan Song bowed and said, "The cabinet did not receive previous reports from Fujian and Guangdong about Zhang Lian's people, and the Censorate did not come up with the memorial, so it was a bit inappropriate to issue the direct order.

Such a big incident happened in Fujian, Governor Liu was unable to suppress the Japanese clones, but the Fujian Censor should not know the information and not report it. He should first let him report the matter and explain the details in detail."

"Have Zhou Yan not arrived yet?"

When he heard that Yan Song also felt that Liu Tao was the focus of his tenure as the governor, and Liu Tao did a good job after entering Fujian, so he finally gave up his thoughts on dealing with him.

However, Emperor Jiajing was a little displeased with the Fujian Inspector Censor mentioned by Yan Song.

The inspector and censor, known as "the emperor's inspection tour" and has great power. He directly reported to the emperor for any gains and losses of local government affairs, military and civilian interests, and was particularly dedicated to the supervision of local officials, and made decisions on major matters and made decisions on small matters.

Some people in Fujian were in rebellion, and the governor could also say that he was focused on suppressing the Japanese. It would be unreasonable for the Fujian Censor to report this secretly.

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, Huang Jin hurriedly walked up and said, "I will send someone to urge me."

Seeing Emperor Jiajing nodding, he immediately withdrew from the hall and arranged for the servants outside the hall to go immediately to find the Zuodu Censor Zhou Yan, and urged him to come over quickly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yan finally entered Yongshou Palace. When he entered the door, he saw several gazes looking at him, and the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Zhou Yan has been in the position of Zuodu Censor for five years and is no longer the first brother in the officialdom. He immediately realized something was wrong.

"Who is the Fujian Inspector Censor now?"

After taking Zhou Yan to perform Liping, Emperor Jiajing asked.

"It's Ji Cheng."

Zhou Yan was naturally very clear about the censor who was sent out, so he answered immediately.

"How long has he been in Fujian?"

Emperor Jiajing continued to ask.

"After the Japanese pirates in Jiajing thirty-five years, he made great achievements in the suppression of Japanese troops and was the few military personnel in the Censorate, so the Censorate did not rotate again."

At this time, even if Zhou Yan is stupid, he would have guessed that something big happened in Fujian.

However, his evaluation of Ji Cheng was quite objective and did not exaggerate it. It was just that Ji Cheng's anti-Japanese war was quite successful. In fact, it was more important that most Fujian censors were unwilling to take risks in person.

Now it seems that the inspectors and censors should still insist on changing them regularly.

Speaking of which, the term of office of the inspector of the Censor is one year. He goes on a patrol every August and returns to Beijing to report his duties for a full year. The purpose is to worry that the Censor will be involved in various forces and be affected by local influence, making it difficult to complete the upload and delivery work.

However, in recent years, the implementation of the inspection system has been no longer so perfect, and many censors are unwilling to leave Beijing, especially those censors in various southern regions. They often put the blame on the censors of the Nanjing Censorate.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was already wondering if Ji Cheng had committed a crime in Fujian.

"Can Fujian official documents come to the Censorate in the near future?"

When Zhou Yan heard Emperor Jiajing ask, he thought for a moment before shook his head and replied: "The Ministry and the Court did not receive a report from Fujian."

Emperor Jiajing stared at Zhou Yan for a while. In fact, from the moment he entered the palace, Emperor Jiajing realized that Zhou Yan was very old and could no longer continue to take charge of the Censorate's current work.

Although Zhou Yan is only sixty-one now, his physical care is far worse than Yan Song and Xu Jie.

What Emperor Jiajing didn't know was that Xu Jie in the hall was thinking about this matter when he saw Zhou Yan entering the palace.

Xu Jie had rich experience in officialdom, but he was not as simple as ordinary cabinet ministers. He was demoted to the local area for offending Shangguan, and then gradually got up and finally returned to the court.

He had a clear understanding of the political structure of the Ming Dynasty court, and he saw the great power of the Censorate more deeply than anyone in the dynasty.

Of course, his consciousness will eventually affect his student Zhang Juzheng, and thus lead to the vanguard of the Ming party struggles, the Censorate, the Censor of the Ming Dynasty, becoming more unscrupulous in the next few decades.

Yes, through Zhou Yan's movements entering the hall, he also saw that his body seemed to be much worse than before. He just silently recorded it and planned to plan the matter after going back.

However, Emperor Jiajing was a little depressed at this time.

When these officials were asked to be punished, they all said that the suppression of the Japanese was a contribution, as if they had no need to do anything else involved in the suppression of the Japanese.

In coastal areas, is there only one thing to do to suppress Japanese Japanese?

However, when it comes to the overall situation, Emperor Jiajing cannot make any punishment decisions at this time, at least not before reporting the details in the local area.

"Show him."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and signaled.

Immediately, Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong walked to Zhou Yan a few steps and handed him the information reported from Guangdong.

After Zhou Yan looked at it, his face became even more ugly.

If you become a bandit, you will become a bandit. You will be called emperor and change your era. Are you really afraid that you will not die quickly enough?

"If you go down, the Censorate asked the Fujian Censor to report the matter as soon as possible, and the cabinet also asked the Fujian Governor to report details. It is not allowed to make a concerted statement, so they will make a memorial alone."

"Abide by the order."

Several people in the hall bowed and replied.

"Who else is the other censors of Fujian Road?"

At this moment, everyone in the palace knew that although Ji Cheng's career could not be finished, Fujian would definitely not be able to stay there and would have to return to Beijing to report his work.

When asked about the censor, of course, it was only the Zuodu Censor Zhou Yan who could answer.

Taking a step forward, Zhou Yan said, "The Fujian Dao Censor's quota is seven, and there are actually six. In addition to Ji Cheng who was on patrol, there are also Wang Xun, Fang Yuan, Yan Youyu, Jiao Lin, and Wei Guangde."

"I understand, let's go down."

Emperor Jiajing has been busy for a long time for Fujian affairs, and has been delayed by a lot of time. He should have meditated and practiced at this time.

Now that the government affairs have been processed, whether to deal with Ji Cheng is necessary to see what the report sent below is saying, and there is no rush to do so.

Waving his hand and asking everyone to retreat, Emperor Jiajing wanted to continue his great cause.

Yan Song, Xu Jie and others withdrew from the main hall and left Yongshou Palace. Everyone was silent along the way, and they were planning emergencies in Fujian. Only Zhu Xizhong seemed to have no concerns in this regard. He clasped his fists at them after leaving Yongshou Palace and took a big stroll first.

As Xu Jie walked, he looked at Zhou Yan secretly, and had already begun to think about whether to let the fellow villager of Songjiang Mansion replace him.

This person is Pan En, a native of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, Zhili, Nanzhili. He is currently the left minister of the Ministry of Justice. Once Zhou Yan retires, Pan En is the person Xu Jie wants to push him up.

Xu Jie is from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture. The two of them knew each other before they were in high school. They were people he trusted.

It’s just a pity that Paine is of the same generation as him, and is even two years older than him, and he is not young.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie looked at Yan Song in front of him. As long as Pan En can control the Censorate for two or three years, it should be enough.

In the past two years, Xu Jie has keenly realized Emperor Jiajing's dissatisfaction with Yan Song, and seems to have the intention to weaken his influence.

Looking at the court now, Yan Song and his group's forces seem to have declined and are beginning to decline, and are gradually losing important positions.

Especially in the past two years, Emperor Jiajing has deliberately or unintentionally excluded Yan Song and his group of officials from important departments, and the only remaining arm support seems to be Hu Zongxian, who is far away in Jiangnan.

Arrangement to King Jing as a vassal states everything.

No matter what the emperor originally thought about it, but in Yan Song's group, he clearly turned to Queen Jing, and King Jing's vassal had already made the Yan family's forces become anxious like ants on the hot pot.

Can the Yan family last for two years or three years?

At this time, Xu Jie had already made a bold guess, and at the same time he was considering another thing.

After leaving the gate of Xiyuan, Zhou Yan bowed to Yan Song and Zhou Yan, Xu Jie got into his sedan chair, put down the curtain and called Changsui softly, saying, "Go and invite Lord Gao Gonggao to come to our mansion to have a banquet in the evening."

After saying that, Xu Jie put down the curtain of the sedan chair, narrowed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.

The news of Fujian's rebellion and proclaiming emperor was rumored to be well-known to the officialdom in the capital that day, which had already been circulated in front of the sanctuary of the yamen. It was really a bit horrifying.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for bandits to emerge, but not many people dare to bring up the banner of rebellion.

Who doesn't know that such a riot would be like a court that would never end with the court. The court would definitely launch a large army to encircle and suppress it. However, unlike small groups of bandit activities, the court would often let it go.

Wei Guangde felt strange when he heard that someone had rebelled in Fujian during the Jiajing Dynasty and even called the Feilong Kingdom. In his impression, he didn't see much about this matter in later generations. Perhaps because he was soon surrounded and suppressed, he had little influence.

Well, in fact, as long as it was not Shaanxi's thief or Liaodong's thugs, Wei Guangde naturally would not care about it. In his limited understanding, these two strengths were the main force to end the Ming Dynasty.

In the evening, I asked a group of people to drink, and they even joked about it.

"Ge Lao, what do you mean is to let Wei Guangde go to Fujian?"

At this time, in a secret room in Xu Jie's mansion, Xu Jie and Gao Gong were sitting opposite each other, talking about a way he only thought of today.

"I think I can use that Qing Ci to punish him for going to Fujian. I have inquired about it. The censors in the capital are only willing to inspect the places around the capital. The provinces in the south are all allowed to go to the censors of the Nanjing Censorate.

Except for Hu Zongxian, Zhejiang, both of them were defeated. Although they did not lose their posts, they were all marked as mediocre people. Fujian is high and no one is willing to go there."

"I understand what the Ge Lao meant. Fujian Censor needs to have certain military capabilities. It is okay to let Wei Guangde go, but he may not be willing to go there."

"Today in Yongshou Palace, Your Majesty has expressed dissatisfaction with the Fujian Dao Inspector Censor Ji Cheng. Speaking of which, he was indeed dereliction of duty. Now, among the Fujian Dao Inspector, Wei Guangde is the most suitable place to go.
