"Tell me!" Luo Xin said calmly.

Looking at Luo Xin's calm demeanor, Liu Shouyou admired it even more, and he was more determined to follow Luo Xin.

"Something happened to the southeast."

Seeing that Luo Xin didn't say anything, he just looked at him quietly, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, Boss, you are too calm. However, he immediately said:

"I don't know why, there are a large number of Japanese pirates on the sea, and they don't go ashore, but only intercept those feudal merchants. Those vassal merchants had not yet arrived in the Ming Dynasty, so they robbed them. Therefore, the city has now become a Qingshui yamen, and there is no business to do at all. ”

"So, after two months, the imperial court will not be able to receive the silver from the city?"

"It's just that you can't get it! The southeast is all messed up now. The merchants of the feudal kingdom can't come, but those merchants in the southeast have hoarded a large number of goods according to the custom, so the backlog has been piled up, and many workshops have stopped. ”

"No wonder Zhang Juzheng will run back!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "Has Zhang Juzheng seen His Majesty?" ”

"Nope! Xu Jie didn't let him see him, I'm afraid that His Majesty doesn't know that Zhang Juzheng has returned. ”

"Xu Jie, this is looking for death!" Luo Xin said lightly: "You can report the situation to Your Majesty." ”

"Report now?"

"Nonsense, if you don't report it now, wait for the paper to cover the fire, and Your Majesty will hold you accountable. When the time comes, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Then I'll go now."

North Garden.

Side hall.

Emperor Jiajing had just deceived himself and comforted himself, and his irritable heart settled down slightly. I swallowed a golden pill and was cultivating. A little eunuch walked in and whispered to Huang Jin:

"Godfather, Lord Liu is outside asking to see Your Majesty."

"Liu Shouyou?"

"Hmm!"

Huang Jin nodded, walked out of the side hall, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Liu! ”

"Grandpa Huang!" Liu Shouyou also hurriedly returned the salute.

"Lord Liu, Your Majesty is in retreat."

"I'll wait!" Liu Shouyou said softly: "When Your Majesty comes out, 100,000 are in a hurry." ”

Huang Jin looked at Liu Shou with a serious look, his mouth moved, and he didn't ask anything in the end. He nodded and returned to the side hall.

An hour and a half later.

Emperor Jiajing digested the golden pill, his body felt warm and comfortable, his thoughts were also fluttering, and his mood was much better. Seeing Emperor Jiajing open his eyes, Huang Jin stepped forward and said softly:

"Your Majesty, Lord Jinyi Wei Liu has been waiting outside for more than an hour."

Emperor Jiajing frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he pressed down on the trace of uneasiness in his heart and said:

"Announce him in."

Liu Shouyou walked into the side hall and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Minister, please see Your Majesty."

"Get up." Emperor Jiajing said lightly: "What's the matter? ”

"Your Majesty, look!" Liu Shouyou handed over an excerpt with both hands.

Huang Jin came up, took the fold and put it on Emperor Jiajing's case. Emperor Jiajing picked up the fold and only read half of it, and the fold fell off the imperial book case and passed out.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hooray!"

Huang Jin and Liu Shouyou were both panicked, and Huang Jin shouted in a sharp voice: "Pass the imperial doctor!" ”

Soon, not only the imperial doctor came, but Xu Jie also came. The imperial doctor was busy for half an hour, and finally woke up Emperor Jiajing.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Jin cried at that time.

Xu Jie glanced at Huang Jin with contempt, and secretly said in his heart, the slave is useless. What are you crying about?

He stepped forward and called out with concern: "Your Majesty......"

"You ......"

When Emperor Jiajing saw Xu Jie, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he raised his finger and pointed at Xu Jie, then pointed to the chapter on the imperial book case, and then looked at Huang Jin.

Huang Jin stepped forward in a few steps, picked up the fold of Liu Shouyou, and handed it to Xu Jie. Xu Jie took it with some suspicion, but after just looking at the two lines, the sweat on his forehead flowed down, and he knelt on the ground with a pop.

Emperor Jiajing gasped twice and said, "Can you handle it?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Jie immediately replied, if he said he couldn't at this time, Emperor Jiajing would immediately dismiss him: "The minister has called Zhang Juzheng back, and he is investigating this matter, and he will deal with it soon." ”

"Then go!" Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes tiredly.

"Retire!"

Xu Jie withdrew from the side hall, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then his whole face became gloomy, and anxiety was locked between his eyebrows. muttered in a low voice:

"What to do!"

While walking, he thought about it, until he returned to the duty room, he didn't come up with a good way, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered:

"It seems that Hu Zongxian has only been ordered to send troops. If he dares not to send troops, he is afraid of war. ”

The matter in the southeast soon spread throughout the court, and after Gao Gong heard about it, he raised his eyebrows and immediately made a decision. Let all the officials of the Gao Party camp go to the fold, and no one will be impeached, that is, to explain the predicament of the City Shipping Division, and analyze that once the City Shipping Division has an accident, the Ming Dynasty's finances will be paralyzed, and now there are rogues, and His Majesty must allocate disaster relief funds as soon as possible, so that the source of the Rogues can be blocked. Without the homeless, the number of homeless bandits will not increase.

Secondly, immediately send troops to exterminate the Liukou, and restore the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the spark can set the prairie on fire, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger.

Finally, select capable ministers and go to the southeast to solve the affairs of the city.

The chapter was sent to Emperor Jiajing by Gao Gong, and Emperor Jiajing's face turned green. Each of these three aspects involves money.

If you have money, none of this is a problem. However, he had no money.

At this time, no one talked about the matter of Lichu anymore.

Originally, Yuwang's party did not play, but now Xu Jie's party is in a hurry, where can they still take care of the matter of establishing a prince?

Even Emperor Jiajing forgot about it.

After Emperor Jiajing finished reading these recitals, he sighed, and instantly became much older. Feeling low on energy. After a slight sigh, he decided to wait, since Xu Jie said that there was a solution, then wait.

But what he was waiting for was not Xu Jie's good news of solving the problem, but Hu Zongxian's excerpt. Hu Zongxian's fold is very clearly written. Now the Japanese are ravaging the sea, but they have not violated the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the slightest. If the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to go to sea to attack the Japanese Invaders, this would be the first to start a war against the Japanese Invaders. In this way, the war will definitely be brought to the shore of Daming. caused the lives to be ruined, so Hu Zongxian suggested that as long as the Japanese did not invade the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should not move. What's more, the combat power of the Ming Dynasty at sea is very low, even if it goes to sea, it may not be able to win, so the Ming will be more passive.

Emperor Jiajing was angry when he heard this, of course, it was not Hu Zongxian who was angry, but Xu Jie. As smart as Emperor Jiajing, he won't fail to see that this Xu Jie, who is not solving the problem at all, is shirking responsibility. Shift the blame to Hu Zongxian.
