Zhejiang has a prosperous literary style and many capable people emerged. Since Tang Yi became the prefect of Hangzhou, he has also vigorously recruited talents and formed his own shogunate. Although he is not as good as Hu Zongxian and has a lot of talents, it is extraordinary.

In addition to Li Zhi, He Xinyin, and Tang Hezheng, there are four more important figures. The first one is Zhu Xian, who is from a martial arts class and has the best kung fu. He once led his servants to kill dozens of Japanese pirates. He is very strategic and can be said to be both civil and military.

The second one was named Jindan. He was a county student at first, but later abandoned literature and practiced martial arts. He followed Qi Jiguang on the expedition many times to help deal with military supplies, food and grass, and was very good at it.

The remaining two are classmates, one is Jiang Zhou and the other is Sun Keyuan, both of whom are students from Hangzhou Prefecture School. They not only have outstanding grades, but also are enthusiastic about political affairs. They have served as missionaries for several times, and they are also students of Tang Yi, who are deeply trusted.

Overall, these four people are half civil and military, and are young and strong, and are all from Xinxue. They are loyal to Tang Yi and have nothing to say.

The only flaw is that they are generally young, have insufficient experience, and need to be trained. However, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and everyone is together, which is very helpful to Tang Yi.

Jiang Zhou took the lead and said: "What is the reason why I sacrifice to the Hai Qinshi? It is simply to transfer the teacher from the position of the Maritime Bureau. I guess it is mostly done by the Yan Party, and they have bad intentions."

Jin Dan didn't believe it yet, scratched his head and said, "It's not that right? Isn't there any other arrangements for the promotion? I guess he will come back after the sea sacrifice is over. The magistrate of Hangzhou who was accepted by Jiajing for 36 years. He will be promoted only after three years of examination. It will take until Jiajing for 39 years!"

Sun Keyuan smiled slightly, "Self-party rule over the years, and the officials of the court have changed frequently. How can one get promoted after passing the exam? Master alone has added four or five million taels to the court, which is more capable than the Ministry of Revenue. Who wouldn't be greedy for such a big piece of fat? I guess, the Yan Party wants to snatch the Maritime Bureau from his master."

The other few looked at each other and agreed with this view.

The Maritime Contract is indeed too tempting. Shanghai, Ningbo, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou are all spread across the four provinces. They are all the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, with hundreds of millions of goods every year and taxes of millions of taels. There is a saying in the southeast, "Governor Hu is in charge of soldiers, and Tang Tiju is in charge of money." They compared Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian, and even surpassed several other governors.

In fact, Tang Yi has more financial resources than the Minister of Revenue, and the emperor is far away. He can do whatever he wants. He can't tell the difference between life.

Zhu Xian pondered for a long time and said tentatively: "Sir, although the Maritime Bureau is not a pioneer, all kinds of rules are being established. If you leave, I am afraid that the successor will not have your ability, and the great situation will be ruined!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhu is right. Master, Southeast cannot do without you!" Jiang Zhou said with concern.

Tang Yi kept listening to everyone's comments. To be honest, of course he was unwilling to leave. It was so comfortable to be his Grass King in the Southeast, but some things were not something he could decide. What's more, he had higher ambitions. The experience in the Southeast was just a link in which he accumulated strength, and the real battlefield was not here.

Getting up from the seat and facing the north, Tang Yi sighed.

"The strict party is not scary. In fact, the only one who can move me now is Your Majesty. His Majesty used to be a little different from me. It was just that the last time I burned the evidence of crime in Quanzhou. Although it was the overall situation, in His Majesty's opinion, I was still on the side of the officials and gentry. I was no longer the pure minister. In the past few years, Lu Taibao, Taoist Master Lan, Eunuch Mai and Eunuch Huang have all helped me speak, but who can guess His Majesty's thoughts!"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "This imperial edict is not a test of me. If I do not obey the order, Your Majesty's suspicion will only become more and more serious. Once suspicious, the Yan Party will definitely take the opportunity to take action, and it will be really troublesome at that time!"

After hearing what Tang Yi said, everyone lowered their heads silently. To put it bluntly, Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian are the same. The higher the position, the more they are, the more they have to cross the river with their eggs, and they are not careless at all.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Tang Yi laughed, "You don't have to worry. I have already managed the Southeast in the past few years. The Maritime Bureau from top to bottom, even ordinary clerks and accountants, have studied from the three major colleges. No matter who I sent to take over, I have the title of being promoted and cannot cause any big storm."

Zhu Xian said in a muffled voice: "It is good for adults to be confident, but everything is most afraid of over time. If the successor makes trouble, it will make the situation you create in three or five years."

"No!" Tang Yi said decisively.

"Why?" everyone asked in surprise.

Tang Yi suddenly smiled at Tang Hezheng, "What did I ask you to prepare the day before yesterday?"

"Birthday gift!" Tang Hezheng said without hesitation: "It is a gift for the 80th birthday of Master Yan Ge. It is a total of 108 large pearls. The word "Birthday" is worth at least 500,000 taels. Senior brother, I think you have passed, so why are you doing to curry favor with Yan Song?"

Tang Yi's face suddenly turned black. He and Yan Dang were unfair, but the surface etiquette was indispensable. Yan Song, as the chief assistant and the army of all officials, had never been to look forward to his 80th birthday in his life. Even Jiajing sent Yan Song a handwritten imperial book, how could Tang Yi neglect it?

But this is not the point! The point is Yan Song is eighty!

Zhu Xian first reacted, slapped his thigh, and blurted out: "Sir, do you mean that Yan Dang is going to be finished?"

"How could it be that fast!" Tang Yi smiled and said, "The court has been silent for so long, and both sides are not far from the war. If I don't go back to the capital and be free and at the southeast, when the victory or defeat of the court has been decided and the people will unify the world, then I will drive me down. Instead of doing this, I might as well make a good arrangement first and take the lead. If you lose it, you will win the capital, and that is the heart of the empire!"

After discussing it, I still said that it is hard to violate my life.

Fortunately, it was time to go to Nanjing to handle the work, Tang Yi could delay time, observe the bureau, complete the layout as soon as possible, and ensure that the soup was solid and the copper was the iron bottom.

On the third day after receiving the imperial edict, Tang Yi said goodbye to Wang Yueying. The little girl was getting closer and closer to the day of giving birth. The medical technology at this time was incomparable to future generations. Giving birth to a child is a gate of hell for women, especially the first child. In addition, Wang Yueying's body is weak, which really makes Tang Yi worried.

On the contrary, Wang Yueying smiled, "Brother, don't worry, you can hold your son when you come back!"

"You always think about me!" Tang Yi took care of his wife's hair on his forehead and smiled: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's our child, it's fine! By the way, I have asked Mr. Li Shizhen. He has taken care of Wang Cuiqiao. Your son is much better than her and there will be no trouble."

"Yes!" Wang Yueying nodded vigorously.

What a brave girl!

With reluctance, Tang Yiyi said goodbye, with Jindan, Sun Keyuan, and Tan Guang, three hundred guards, set off immediately, galloped all the way, and rushed to the city of Nanjing for almost ten days.

The last time I went to Nanjing, it was the provincial examination. I hurriedly passed by several years and touched the stubble on my chin. I was no longer the green boy I used to be.

As the official struggled, his heart was getting old too quickly. Tang Yi sighed that unlike other places, Nanjing, as a supporting capital, has a complete set of administrative agencies. In addition to the cabinet, there are all six ministries, the Censorate, Dali Temple, and the Six Corridor. The only difference between it and the capital is that among the six ministries, there are two ministers in the capital, and there is only one right minister in Nanjing.

Although these people are not very powerful, they have extremely high grades and many old monsters with scary qualifications. Even Ge Lao Yan and Ge Lao Xu are polite to face them.

Although Tang Yi was named an imperial envoy, he was not as big as his disciples. He should not make the imperial envoy's name as soon as possible to avoid making trouble.

The officials of the Honglu Temple were responsible for taking him to the inn, the special yard was clean and spacious. Tang Yi had just sat down and had no time to drink water. The sound of footsteps sounded outside. When he looked up, it was the old man Shi who smiled when he saw Tang Yi.

He hurried over and grabbed Tang Yi's hand.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I'm looking forward to Lord Tang."

This person's enthusiasm shocked Tang Yi. Is there anything bad?

Tang Yi calmly pulled out his hand and smiled, "Eunuch Shi, seeing you with a red face, I guess life is very comfortable. By the way, when will I go to pay tribute to the goddess of the Sea God? What are the rules and etiquettes? I would like to ask my father-in-law to tell me."

Eunuch Shi was stunned, "Mr. Tang, don't you know what you are doing?"

One sentence shocked Tang Yi, beloved, it was indeed not a good thing!

"Eunuch Shi, don't scare me, I'm a timid person."

Eunuch Shi shook his head and finally told Tang Yi the details...

The so-called sacrifice to the sea god is simply a pretext, but in fact, a censor secretly reported to the court, saying that Zhang Yan, the Minister of the Southern War, raised private soldiers, lied to report military pay, and made friends with generals, with ulterior motives.

The Minister of War of Southern War was the head of the Southern Six Ministry. During the war, the power was astonishing. If you really wanted to rebel, the harm would be great. However, Tang Yi did not believe that the Ming Dynasty had been more than a hundred years ago, and I dare not say anything else. Anyone who rebelled easily would immediately be labeled as unfaithful and unfilial, and traitors. It would not take long to be finished. As long as it was not a head slap, he would not rebel.

Seeing Tang Yi's doubts, Eunuch Shi sighed, "The child has no mother, he talks a lot. Lord Tang, you are not an outsider. We have told you that this is all about the garrison eunuch He Yan."

At that time, Huang Jin had two ranks per person, and was a garrison eunuch in Nanjing and a Jiangnan weaving factory. After he left, the other eunuchs were not as good as Huang Jin, so they separated. Even so, the garrison eunuch represented the emperor and had a huge power.

He Yan was very greedy and relied on his power to occupy land everywhere and even set up checkpoints to collect taxes, which made the public resentment. Zhang Yan, the Minister of War, was very old and from Jiangxi. He also learned from his seniors in his early years. In fact, he was related to Master Yan and Master Xu, so he was not afraid of He Yan. On the contrary, he dealt with He Yan's several minions, and the two sides made a grudge.

"If flies do not bite seamless eggs, Lord Zhang has some place to cross..." Eunuch Shi sighed. (To be continued.)
