The remnant sun was like blood, like the neck behind the head of a owl, and the burst of blood stained half of the sky, and the faint crow swept over the dead branches, startling an old dog foraging for food, baring out its hideous canine teeth, roaring its hoarse throat, and retreating into the shadows with its tail between its legs......

Zhu Ping'an was dressed in a blood-stained sunset and returned to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion at the last moment before the curfew.

The Linhuai Marquis Mansion is lit up tonight, and it is very lively.

Back to Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Ping'an learned that the original Linhuai Marquis won the imperial court award, today from Yingtianfu back to the capital, but also brought a lot of southern specialties, Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu also got a part of the specialties, there are water chestnuts in the south of the Yangtze River, crabs, Yingtian Yunjin and so on.

After dinner in Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu brought a return gift to visit Linhuai Hou and his wife in the East Courtyard.

"Five girls, you are really, come and come, and bring something. Your uncle came back from Yingtian this time, and he also brought back a lot of gadgets, Brother Rui and Niuniu liked it, and the six girls also liked it tightly. Qiu Zhu, Qiu Ju, you go to the treasury to bring back the gadgets that the master brought back, pick up new and interesting things, and pick some of each......"

Mrs. Linhuai Hou took Li Shu to the master bedroom to talk, and Zhu Ping'an went to the study with Linhuai Hou to talk.

"As soon as I entered the capital today, I heard about Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Yan Gelao. The grasshopper shook the tree, which was ridiculous, and I thought Yang Jisheng was dizzy. I also heard about today's court trial, and this matter is extraordinary, and I think some people will be implicated. Zihou, I know that you and Yang Jisheng went out of the old Xu Pavilion together, and it was inevitable that you would move around a little before, but at this time, you must pay attention, you must draw a clear line with Yang Jisheng, and don't suffer an unwarranted disaster. It's not easy for you to have today, but don't be confused. ”

After a brief greeting, Linhuai Hou went straight to the point and warned Zhu Ping'an and Yang Jisheng to draw a clear line and not to be implicated.

Of course, in fact, the Marquis of Linhuai is more worried that the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion will be implicated.

"Ping'an Province."

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an's eyelids rolled down, and he nodded with a calm face, typical of different hearts.

The Tao is different, I don't want to say, I don't want to fight, it's better to be duplicitous, and save more money.

This is Zhu Ping'an's idea.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an nodding in response, Linhuai Hou stroked his beard with great satisfaction, originally thinking that it would take a lot of effort.

"Virtuous nephew, I have been an official for many years, and I can be regarded as having some experience. As an official, kowtow more and talk less, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, so that the official fortune can be prosperous. It is important to know that there is no more auspicious, more blind and more defeated; Nothing is eventful, there is nothing to do......"

The heart disease is gone, and Linhuaihou, as an elder, half-shows Zhu Ping'an about his summed up experience as an official, the main purpose is to protect himself, be good at seizing opportunities, and don't do things like twisting his arms and thighs.

Zhu Ping'an looked like he had benefited a lot on his face, but he didn't dare to agree with it in his heart, as Lin Huaihou said, being an official, isn't it a typical corpse vegetarian meal and idleness, what is the benefit of his family and country? ! Being an official like this, you are guilty of the country and the people, although you have no merit or fault, but you are guilty! To be an official like this, it is better to be like the drama "Seven Sesame Officials" sings, "If you are not an official for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes".

"Uncle, I don't know what the situation is in the southeast?" Zhu Ping'an couldn't listen to it anymore, so he changed the topic and asked.

"The virtuous nephew is asking about the southeast woes, right?" Linhuai Hou took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "This southeast coast, although the Japanese invade the interior from time to time, but in my opinion, this Japanese plague is about to calm down." ”

Ha?! Is the plague about to settle down?

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he really didn't know what to say about Linhuaihou's vision, and the trouble was about to settle down? ! According to the timeline, it won't be long before the Japanese invade the southeast coast on a large scale, okay! During the Jiajing period, the plague caused trouble for more than ten years, which lasted longer than the invasion of China by little devils. There are still more than ten years to settle down!

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an's face was suspicious, the Marquis of Linhuai couldn't help but look at the younger generations with the attitude of the elders looking at the younger generations and looking ahead, and taught, "Zihou, you are not in the southeast, and you don't know about the southeast." The southeast is plagued, with the thief Wang Zhi as the most. At the beginning of the year, Wang Zhi annexed Chen Sipan, the leader of the Fujian pirates, and entrenched himself in Ligang, Zhoushan, and his power surpassed that of the southeast Japanese bandits. Wang Zhi is a person, the heart is to recruit peace, now the sea ban policy is relaxed, many places in the southeast of the local officials acquiesced in the private affairs of maritime trade, the government took advantage of Wang Zhi's heart to recruit peace, the implementation of thieves to eliminate thieves, ordered Wang Zhi to kill Chen Sipan and other pirates who attacked the mainland, Wang Zhi took the initiative to cooperate, very hard, and successively pacified Chen Sipan and other pirates who burned and plundered, and the trouble in Jiangnan was greatly reduced. In this situation, either recruit Wang Zhi or booby trap Wang Zhi, then the southeast will be in danger soon......"

Zhu Ping'an's eyes on Linhuai Hou once again didn't know what to say.

Although Wang Zhi had great expectations for the imperial court, he was only a larger force of the Japanese Invaders, and many other Japanese forces did not obey him, such as Xiao Xian, Deng Wenjun, Lin Bichuan, and Shen Men in Fujian, He Yaba in Guangdong, etc., and even some of Wang Zhi's subordinates, such as Xu Hai, were also inconsistent with Wang Zhi's ideas and did not obey management. In fact, Wang Zhi could neither exterminate the pirates nor restrain his subordinates, and recruiting him would not be able to quell the troubles, and trapping him would further provoke the troubles.

Besides, Wang Zhi worked hard to evaluate other pirates in order to expand his strength. Wang Zhi wanted to establish a country on his own with the Japanese Invaders, engage in independence and separatism, and then replace Japan's tributary position, trade with the Ming Dynasty, and monopolize the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty. How can the side of the couch allow others to snore, Wang Zhi is so ambitious, and colludes with the Japanese cowards, his hands are stained with the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Ming Dynasty recruit him.

How can the plague be quickly subsided!

Historically, the outbreak of the Japanese plague and the large-scale invasion of the southeast coast reached its peak, which was triggered by the trapping of Wang Zhi by Zhao'an.

"Since I entered the heavens and the Admiral has been in the river, several streams of pirates have been expelled along the coast. At that time, there were several sails, and there were several real wives on the sails, and the men were tattooed, not dressed in groups, the banners were connected at the end, no sewing, and the Japanese knives were hung on their waists......"

In the next half hour, Linhuai Hou boasted about his exploits again, and Zhu Ping'an's embarrassment was committed.

It's just a warship to expel a few broken wooden ships, and it's not to exterminate them, as if he commanded a million troops to pacify the Japanese invaders?

However, it is not bad to be able to expel a few groups of pirates, at least it is not a corpse vegetarian meal and idleness.
