Chapter 1524 My Good Minister
The red wall is framed with white snow, and pieces of it fall into pieces.
This is the first snow in Xiyuan since the beginning of winter this year. The red walls and golden tiles of the palace turned white overnight. After the snow, Xiyuan is pure white, making the already majestic and cold Xiyuan even more chilly.
Groups of palace maids and eunuchs, under the command of the eunuchs in charge and female officials, clean the snow in the palace courtyards to make it easier for the nobles to travel.
The palace people were cleaning carefully, not to mention whispering to each other. They didn't even dare to make a sound. It felt like they were controlling the brooms and baskets in their hands with their lives, and they must not let them make the slightest sound.
The whole Xiyuan was very depressed.
Why? Without him, the owner of Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing, was furious this morning. Not only did he not eat breakfast, he also smashed all the dishes that contained breakfast to pieces, and even the table flew up. .
The reason why Emperor Jiajing was so furious was not that the breakfast cooked in the imperial dining room was not to his liking (on the contrary, today’s breakfast was very successful, with all the color, flavor and taste, which made Emperor Jiajing’s food pick up), but because of something. Seal eight hundred miles to expedite the military situation.
At that time, Emperor Jiajing had just had two bites of breakfast, and his appetite was whetted. When he was about to enjoy it, a servant presented him with an urgent military report of eight hundred miles.
Emperor Jiajing opened it and only took one look at it. He couldn't help but howled angrily. He put the ginseng porridge he was praising with his backhand on the table and threw down all the dishes in anger. It flew to the ground and even flipped the table away!
"Trash, trash, the Jiangnan officialdom is full of trash. It betrays my trust in you! It betrays my good intentions for you!"
Emperor Jiajing roared angrily, almost lifting the roof off the house. Flying away, how could the palace people dare to touch Emperor Jiajing's bad luck? They all wanted to shrink into ants and crawl into the cracks in the ground to escape Emperor Jiajing's thunderous wrath.
The little eunuch who presented the urgent military information from Eight Hundred Miles had an ashen face. He knelt on the ground shivering to plead guilty. He kowtowed as if pounding garlic. While kowtowing, he cried and said, "My slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die. Your Majesty, please forgive me." "
After Emperor Jiajing beat him to vent his anger, he caught a glimpse of the young eunuch who was kneeling to plead guilty, and walked over with a gloomy look on his face.
The little eunuch listened to the approaching footsteps of Emperor Jiajing as if listening to the footsteps of the God of Death. When Emperor Jiajing stopped in front of him, his heart was filled with despair.
"Go to Wuyi Hall and bring the ministers to me!"
The scolding of Emperor Jiajing rang above the little eunuch's head, and the little eunuch suddenly felt like he had escaped from death.
Soon, the little eunuch walked backwards from the ground and walked out of the palace, got up and ran all the way to Wuyi Hall to deliver the order.
Soon, Yan Song, Xu Jie and several ministers were ordered to meet the saint.
Seeing the palace in a mess, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others suddenly felt nervous. They had already asked the little eunuch about the general situation on the way. Now it seems that the wrath of the Holy Emperor is even worse than imagined. point.
Why is the Holy One angry? As cabinet ministers, they all have nine orifices in their minds, many ears and eyes, and they know everything in their hearts.
The barbarians in the north kept calming down, but they did not cause much fighting. On the contrary, the Japanese invasion in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more serious. Every now and then, urgent reports of the Japanese invasion came to the capital from 800 miles south of the Yangtze River. .
Not long ago, there happened to be an urgent report of the Japanese invasion from eight hundred miles away from the south. The Holy Emperor's anger should be related to this report.
However, what was written in this urgent letter actually made the Holy Emperor so angry.
Although the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan is becoming more and more serious, it is still within control. Is it possible that major changes have occurred in the Japanese invasion in Jiangnan and it is no longer under control? ! Could it be that the Japanese invaded Jiangnan in a large scale? !
While Yan Song, Xu Jie and others were making prostrations to see Emperor Jiajing, they were brainstorming urgently to deal with it later.
"This is the 800-mile express that has just been delivered. Take a look and see how my good ministers helped me solve my problems in Jiangnan!"
Emperor Jiajing He quickly kicked the balled up Eight Hundred Miles toward Yan Song and others with his feet, and sneered in a sinister manner.
Yan Song bowed and took two steps forward, picked up the eight hundred miles on the ground, unfolded it and looked at it carefully.
“More than a hundred Japanese pirates landed in Shangyu, Shaoxing, and attacked Kuaiji. Liu Xi, the prefect of Shaoxing, and Xu Ziyi, from a thousand households in Shaoxing, led 3,000 troops to encircle and suppress them. The Japanese pirates broke out, killed Qian Jing, the imperial censor who had returned to his hometown, and rampaged across Hangzhou Prefecture. They also plundered Yuqian and Changhua counties, marched westward and plundered Chun'an County, and then left Zhejiang. , entering She County, Huizhou Prefecture, the five hundred officers and soldiers guarding the pass in Huizhou collapsed and fled. Fifty-seven Japanese pirates broke into Jiangning, defeated Yingtian's blocking army, and killed more than 400 people. The Japanese chiefs were red-clad and yellow-covered, riding big horses. Lead all the criminals to respond to the emergency at Da Ande Gate, and hereby report it"
Yan Song only glanced at it and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
No wonder His Majesty is so angry that the Japanese pirates even stay in Yingtian! The Japanese chief also wore red clothes and yellow caps, arrogantly offending the Holy One!
Yan Song read it in a hurry and handed the 800-mile express to Xu Jie who was standing aside. Xu Jie couldn’t wait to take it and looked at it. Then he also took a breath of cold air. No wonder the Holy One was so angry. There were only a hundred Japanese pirates. He actually traveled thousands of miles to fight , destroyed more than ten cities, killed thousands of officers and soldiers, and finally attacked Yingtian with fifty-seven troops
After reading it, Xu Jie passed the eight hundred miles to the people behind him. Then, the sounds of gasps came one after another.
"You have seen it, you have all seen it, this is my good minister! He is very good, very good! A mere fifty-seven Japanese pirates can control me in the Ming Dynasty, south of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and south of Zhili They fought for thousands of miles in this area, running wild and unruly, as if they were in an uninhabited country, and finally braved the disapproval of the world and attacked brazenly! I stayed in Yingtian! How many ministers and troops were there in Jiangnan, but I allowed only fifty-seven Japanese pirates to attack Yingtian? Haha, it’s great! I want to thank these fifty-seven Japanese pirates, and I want to give you heavy rewards. These fifty-seven Japanese pirates showed me how good the ministers of Jiangnan really are!”
Emperor Jiajing walked slowly to Yan Song and others, gritted his teeth and let out a strange roar.
Emperor Jiajing was so angry that fifty-seven Japanese pirates crossed the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles, and finally attacked Yingtian. The face of the Ming Dynasty was severely trampled and rubbed under the feet of this group of Japanese pirates, and the face of Emperor Jiajing was also They were also trampled and rubbed severely by the Japanese pirates.
This feeling, this humiliation, is even worse than the year before last when Chief Hu from the North led his troops to the capital! At the very least, Anda, the chief Hu of the North, led 30,000 Mongolian cavalry back then! As for the Japanese pirates, there were only fifty-seven of them!
How ironic and unbelievable!
If it hadn’t been for the urgent need of eight hundred miles, Emperor Jiajing would have even suspected that this was a joke made by some bold bastard!
"Your Majesty, please calm down, I will be punished by death!"
Yan Song, Xu Jie and others knelt down to apologize.
"Get up, it's not you who deserve to die!" Emperor Jiajing had a stinky face and waved his hand coldly. (End of this chapter)
