The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 262
In February, the triennial Spring Festival was held as scheduled.

This should be the most important thing in the court today, but because of the rampant Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, it has received less attention.

After the weather got warmer, the number of pirates along the southeast coast increased suddenly, causing officials in Nanzhili and Zhejiang to be overwhelmed.

Based on the attitude of suppressing things as they can, I originally wanted to hide it, but the group of Japanese pirates became more and more rampant.

After the death of a commander of the Jinyi Guards in Nanjing, things couldn't be suppressed at all.

After the incident spread to Beijing, the court was furious!
The commander of Jinyiwei in Nanjing is dead!

Feng Kun seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei was his eldest son!

The moment eunuch Yin said this, it aroused the emperor's headache again.

The emperor fainted, and urgently ordered Meng, the eldest concubine of Prince Jing's mansion, to enter the palace to treat the emperor's illness.

The emperor lay in bed for three days, and even the palace examination was postponed due to the emperor's illness. Later, Feng Kun was fined for one year's salary on the grounds that he was not strict with the emperor.

Feng Kun was not wronged about this matter, such a big matter, unexpectedly developed to the point where it could not be suppressed, and the Jinyiwei Commander Si Yamen in Beijing got the news. This was Feng Kun's serious dereliction of duty as the Jinyiwei commander.

Feng Kun even lost his energy because of the death of his eldest son. He had a talk with the emperor and wanted to transfer his youngest son Feng Jin back to Beijing, and then he was sick and rested at home.

The emperor handed over to Dongchang the matter of going to the south of the Yangtze River to assist in the investigation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of War.

In Dali Temple, the task of going to Nanzhili to investigate in Zhejiang naturally fell to Jiang Yuanchao.

The first son was just born, Song Yuxi ignored Jiang Yuanchao's leg and begged him not to go.

"Husband! You can't go, you can't go, don't go, okay, I beg you!"

"Yu Xi, the emperor's order is hard to break." Jiang Yuanchao helped her up, pulled her to sit on a chair, and explained in a gentle tone: "My husband knows that this time must be extremely dangerous, but I can't..."

"What is your duty? What is your duty?" Song Yuxi interrupted him: "Your Majesty left Jiangnan alone in the past. It was his fault! Why should you use your life to fill the hole he made?"

"Yuxi!"

"Why are you fierce? You just think that as long as you are careful, nothing will happen. But have you ever thought about how vicious and daring those people are? Jiang Yuanchao, don't talk to me about those things! Are you determined to go without turning back?"

Jiang Yuanchao was stunned, and when the husband and wife were at a stalemate, the eldest princess suddenly opened the door and came in, loudly saying: "Daughter-in-law is right! Yuanchao, you can't go!"

"Mother!" Jiang Yuanchao exclaimed and stood up.

The eldest princess snorted, sat down and said, "They even dare to kill Feng Kun's eldest son, so what if he is the eldest son of the eldest princess? No matter how important you are, you are more important than Mr. Feng? No matter how many people you have, you can surpass him." Jin Yiwei? Let me tell you, Jiang Yuanchao, don’t say that you are just His Majesty’s nephew, even if the prince is gone, they would still dare to kill you!”

Yu Xi chimed in and said, "If you want to go, let's make up! I will never be a widow for you! A man like you who doesn't care about his wife and children is not worthy of my guarding for you!"

The eldest princess glared at Song Yuxi first, but finally agreed: "Second daughter-in-law is right, if you want to go, first sign the letter of righteousness! I will live with my wife and grandson, anyway, your son doesn't want me. Old mother!"

My mother had always looked down on Song Yuxi, who was born as a concubine, and Song Yuxi had always been honest with this mother-in-law who despised her. At this moment, the two women suddenly joined hands!
Jiang Yuanchao looked at his old lady and wife who suddenly joined forces to run on his old lady, and felt like the sun was rising from the west.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Hou's mansion suddenly reported that it was Mr. Jiang who asked the second master to go to the Hou's mansion to talk.

Jiang Yuanchao got up helplessly and went to his father to listen to the training.

Unexpectedly, his father didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, so he just said, "You resign."

"father!"

"Yuanchao, listen carefully. The muddy waters in the south of the Yangtze River are not for you. Resign! It's good to be with your wife at home. The resignation letter has already been handed in for you. You are His Majesty's nephew. I'm happy, I won't do anything to you."

Jiang Yuanchao knew that there was no room for change in this matter.He drooped his head, feeling that all his hard work in the first half of his life seemed to be denied by the people around him, and his whole body seemed to be drained of energy.

Because of the investigation into Jiangnan, the Minister of the Ministry of War fell ill, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple even resigned directly. Only then did the emperor suddenly realize that the matter had become so serious?

He couldn't do anything with the Minister of the Ministry of War, let alone his own nephew. After thinking twice, he finally handed over the important task of commanding the navy to fight against the Japanese pirates to the most experienced youngest Su Wang.

But the emperor also played tricks. He didn't let Su Wang go to Fujian to take the navy he had trained himself, but let him go to Zhejiang as a polished commander to lead the army. The eldest son Chen Yuliang was transferred to Fujian by the emperor's edict to assist the Ninth Prince Yu Wang, who had zero actual combat experience, to lead the Nanyang Navy.

Everyone felt that the emperor was old and confused.

What a nonsense!

What a nonsense!
Today, Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast of Zhejiang. This is the serious dereliction of duty of the general Chen Yuliang, but the emperor is not only unwilling to punish Chen Yuliang, but also wants to send the Ninth Prince Yu Wang who has not been on the battlefield for a day to Fujian.

When King Su received the order, he was uncharacteristically quiet.

He didn't scold a word, didn't make a complaint, shut himself in the study, and sat there for two hours.

The old man is old, his emperor father has been wise and powerful all his life, when he was about to leave, he made a foolish move and made a bad move.

Only for the stability of his throne, at this time, he will continue to play with his balance.

In order to balance the court, I don't know how many lives will be killed.

It's not for those Japanese pirates to die, it's for the sailors he trained so hard to die!

In the past few years, Zhejiang Province has become the purse of the Duke of Jing, Concubine Chen Gui and Prince Yu. King Su doesn't know exactly what dirty things they did there. The ones that go are transferred away, the ones that are damaged are damaged.

Just looking at the extremely ugly tax accounts that Zhejiang has handed over in recent years, you can see how dirty they are there.

In order to balance the power of King Su's House and King Jing's House, the emperor kept turning a blind eye to the actions of Jing's government. The cabinet knew the emperor's thoughts well, and even Song Jianming didn't dare to mention it.

With the increase in Lingnan's revenue, even if Zhejiang collects less taxes, the general ledger of the treasury's revenue is not ugly. As the Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, he can handle errands, so he is unwilling to talk about it.

Therefore, amid the emperor's deliberate connivance and the collective silence of the cabinet, Zhejiang was like an inflamed pustule, which grew bigger and bigger until the epidermis rotted, and the emperor thought of dealing with it.

Now that the emperor sent Su Wang to Zhejiang, he wanted Su Wang to be the knife to open the pustules. How could the Duke of Jing, Chen Guifei, Yu Wang, and the people in the Zhejiang officialdom tolerate him?
How can he be alive after he is gone?

In the same way, King Su smuggled foreign goods, sold smuggled salt, recruited private soldiers, manufactured firearms, and even incorporated seven pirate gangs in the South China Sea of ​​Guangdong. The huge investment of nearly 20 million taels of silver over the past 3000 years made the Today, the scale of the navy in Fujian and Guangdong is large enough to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire.

If these things were known by the emperor, the entire Su Wang Mansion could not escape the end of being demoted to common people and imprisoned by high walls, or even ransacked and exterminated.

Su Wang also will not let Yu Wang and Chen Yuliang go to Fujian to disrupt his plan.

Before Yu Wang and Chen Yuliang arrived in Fujian, he had to get rid of them quickly,
The emperor wants him and the ninth younger brother to suffer from both sides!

Not only that, once King Su and King Yu both leave the capital, there will be only the fourth eldest brother Jing and the abandoned prince in the capital. Concubine Hui's mother and son were favored by the queen in the early years. What are you doing while they're away?
How could King Su and King Yu make it so easy for an old man who was too sick to get out of bed?

King Su has always been a rascal, and fell ill on the second day after the imperial edict was issued. He even wrote an expressive letter of apology to his father, and strongly recommended his capable fourth brother to go to Zhejiang for him.

The emperor was so angry that the corners of his mouth were bubbling, and he immediately asked Concubine Shu to reprimand severely, scolding the third child for being unfilial.

The hat of unfilial piety in this era cannot be buckled at will.The word filial piety is directly linked with loyalty.

Unfilial piety means disloyalty.

This is a big handle.

However, King Su was unmoved, and waved his hand and spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to help the victims of the disaster in the capital survive this severe winter.

He didn't care about filial piety or not.

The father is kind and the son is filial, the father is kind, the son is filial!

Ever since Li Zhao had an accident in Shandong, King Su didn't want to act as a duck with a shrinking neck anymore.

The old man himself said that he was not filial, and spread the news so that everyone in the court knew about it. He and the emperor are just monarchs and ministers, not father and son!
How can there be a grandfather who doesn't care about his grandson?
Is there any father in the world who wants to put his son to death?

The old man personally wiped out the father-son relationship between him and King Su, why should Li Da show mercy to the emperor?
The emperor ordered Su Wang to be imprisoned in the clan's mansion again, and he was forbidden to accompany him to serve.

King Su doesn't care, he will be confined as long as he is confined, he is afraid of a bird!If you have the ability, you can kill him directly. What's the use of banning him?Can you trap him alone, but can you trap the 20 navy in the south?
When King Yu saw that the fourth brother's trick was so good, he also became ill after imitating it.

Facing his two uncontrollable sons, the late emperor felt an unprecedented sense of loss of control. He was irritable, angry, and fearful, but found that he was unable to control the situation.

He even wanted to directly issue an imperial edict to reinstate the eldest son as the crown prince, but he knew that if most officials in the court refused to accept it, even his edict would be useless.

He didn't even dare to issue an edict to kill the two sons immediately.

God knows how many chips they have in their hands. If they are pushed into a hurry and join hands to carry out a mutiny, the emperor will be afraid.

After all, the emperor is a loner. If someone listens to him, what he says will be useful; if no one listens, he is just a poor old man who is about to die of illness.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yin suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you are too impatient! The most urgent thing is to raise the dragon's body well, so that you can have more time to make long-term plans when you recover!"

Eunuch Yin deserves to be the chief eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and Bingbi. With one sentence, the emperor who was in extreme anxiety was pulled out of his horns.

He seemed to wake up all of a sudden, what he lacked was not means, not power, not status, but time if he wanted to restore the boss as the prince!

The third child and the ninth child, they just want to boil him to death!

If he continued to be sick like this, wouldn't it be just as they wished?
After March, except for the first day and the 15th day of the lunar new year, the emperor no longer went to court, and only occasionally summoned courtiers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and left all matters to the cabinet.

The chief assistant Yan Jiuyuan was still on the side of the emperor and the prince, and the rest were in charge of who they were. Judging from the current situation, no one had the strength to crush the other party to death.

As for what is going on in the south of the Yangtze River, what is going on along the coast, and what about the Japanese pirates, who cares!

How the courtiers spat at each other, how they took off their shoes and fought in the hall, no matter what!

As long as the emperor is still in power for a day, he will still be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If they don't want to bear the eternal infamy of killing their brothers and fathers, none of them dare to act rashly.

The ministers didn't expect that the emperor went straight to recuperating from his illness!

The palace examination, which was postponed for one month, was co-chaired by Lord Shoufu and the eldest son of the emperor, Li Chi.

All the tribute scholars who passed the examination were mixed joys and sorrows, and they didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, blessing or disaster to get this Jinshi this year.

Not to mention the turmoil in Beijing, the young nuns in Baoen Temple lived happily and nourished under the neglect of the emperor.

The officials in the court were in disarray, the emperor retreated to recuperate from his illness, and the enshrined money originally allocated to the Baoen Temple was directly embezzled by the eunuchs of the Jinggong Supervisor, and no one asked them for the whole New Year!

Those old nuns who were domineering and tormenting everyone on weekdays also disappeared inexplicably, Jingxuan lay half dead on the bed, Song Qingyue took everyone to eat mutton hot pot in the hall dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, and no one cared.

It is true that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.

Who among the girls in this monastery really wants to become a monk? Aren't they all forced to be killed?

Mutton has passed through the intestines, but the Buddha will remain in the heart.

Chang Huiying asked Song Qingyue: "Ah Yue, is His Royal Highness still alive?"

Her tone was very affectionate, and everyone got along very well with Song Qingyue. This imperial concubine is not only beautiful and kind, but also very generous. She provided everyone with silver charcoal for a whole winter free of charge, and even made new clothes for everyone. I even bought Zhenbaoge's rouge powder, eyebrow powder and lip gloss for everyone to use.

However, no one has dared to ask about Su Wang's son.

Chang Huiying also held back for two months, and finally asked today.

Song Qingyue nodded: "Yes, he is alive."

In a simple sentence, without revealing anything more, Chang Huiying is not an ordinary lady, and she immediately sensed the unusual meaning in it, so she immediately stopped, not asking more questions, and said, "That's good."

Song Qingyue took another piece of mutton and ate it, then said: "I'm going down the mountain to see the children today, what do you want me to bring?"

A girl said: "Can you also take me down the mountain?"

"I want to go down the mountain too!"

Everyone raised their hands.

Song Qingyue is going to visit the cave today, she smiled and shook her head: "Not today, next time."

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they all nodded obediently: "Then you must remember to bring us with you next time!"
