Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 126 Map artifact, shocking change in Guangxi
Outside Fujing City, beside the Minjiang River, there is sparkling light, the breeze is blowing, and the branches are fluttering. Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan are walking along the bank of the river. Their Confucian shirts are moving with the wind, looking natural and elegant.

Seeing the rare smile on his face, Xu Yanyan smiled and said, "Brother Wang is different today, but have all the court affairs been resolved?"

"Yan Yan is really smart." Wang Yan smiled lightly when he heard the sound, nodded and said, "There has been unprecedented progress in the court affairs. In the court hall the day before yesterday, His Majesty withdrew the right to sea tax in one fell swoop, and yesterday Duke Ping agreed to pay it first. The imperial court taxed silver in March, a total of 25 taels of silver, which was used as military pay. Although the successful expedition of Guoxing was still prevented by Ping Guogong, he agreed to let Chengji Hou Zhengcai go out of Xianxia Pass to rescue Jin Yushi's soldiers. It can be said that the situation has changed a lot!"

"Brother Wang, I have been worrying about the court for many days. Now that the court is finally developing in a good direction, it is not in vain for Brother Wang's painstaking efforts." Xu Yanyan said: "Yanyan believes that there is a great hero like Brother Wang in front of you." , Daming will definitely get better, drive out the Hulu, and achieve rejuvenation."

"Yanyan is right. Today's son is the master of talent and strategy. As long as we and other ministers can help the court wholeheartedly, we will not worry about the revival of Ming Dynasty!" Wang Yan exclaimed.

Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan walked along the bank of the river, chatting and admiring the beautiful scenery along the river, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

Since the Jiashen year, he has rarely been in such a state, the last time he traveled with others was when he was in Changsha, and he went for a spring outing with his academy master and classmates and friends.

At this time, the two were enjoying the refreshment brought by the breeze blowing on their faces, but there was a knight in the distance, galloping towards the direction where the two were.

Wang Yan saw it as Dai Zhifan of Qianhu, and knew that he must report something, so he stopped with Xu Yanyan and stood on the bank to wait.

Dai Zhifan galloped his horse, reined in the horse ten steps away from Wang Yan, then turned over, ran to Wang Yan and bowed down: "Master Zhou, who went to Quanzhou to buy grain, is back."

"Oh~" Seeing Dai Zhifan's flustered expression, Wang Yan couldn't help feeling a little ominous in his heart, "I'm afraid to go back to the camp, but haven't bought any food?"

Dai Zhifan heard the words, but did not answer, but whispered: "Master Zhou was brought back by soldiers!"

"What?" Wang Yan couldn't help exclaiming, Dang even stepped on Dai Zhifan's horse and ran towards the camp.

Wang Yan galloped all the way, and rushed back to the camp in a short time. He dismounted from the gate of the camp, and his own soldiers took the reins of the horse, "Where is Zhou Chen now?"

Seeing Wang Yan's gloomy face, the hundred households on duty hurriedly sent a soldier to take Wang Yan to the camp where Zhou Zhiwei was resting after hearing his questioning.

Before Wang Yan came to the camp, he found that many people had already gathered, with angry and anxious expressions on their faces, and an even more ominous feeling in their hearts, "Everyone go into the tent, how decent it is to be here."

When Wang Yan entered the camp with the others, he saw Zhou Zhiwei lying on the bed, his face completely changed, with traces of blood still oozing from the bandage on his head, he couldn't help being furious.

Seeing Wang Yan coming in, Zhou Zhiwei couldn't help struggling to get up immediately. Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, sat by the bed and asked, "Yiwei, what's going on? Who dared to beat you so hard? Be like this!"

Zhou Zhiwei couldn't help bursting into tears when he heard the words, "The lower officials violated the entrustment of Lord Hou, and Zheng Zhibao robbed them of the money to buy food and twenty large ships."

"What?" Wang Yanying's grain and grass supplies were about to run out, and they were all counting on Zhou Zhiwei to get back the grain and grass from Quanzhou. Not only did they not buy grain and grass, but the 15 taels of silver and the ships that bought the grain were also robbed. Food is edible. "Zheng Zhibao, how dare you do that!"

For a moment Wang Yan couldn't help being furious, and Zhou Zhiwei said sadly and angrily: "Zheng Zhibao said that the warship under Lord Hou's command was originally the property of his brother Zheng Hongkui, and he took it back to return it to the original owner. As for the money, he said it belonged to Lord Hou. Compensation for the loss of their Zheng family, and in the future they will have to get it from Lord Hou."

"Thief! If you hurt my officials and rob me of my property, if you don't avenge me, how can I be a human being?" After hearing this, Wang Yan was extremely annoyed, and the generals in the camp were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Master Hou!" Seeing this, He Gang couldn't help frowning slightly, "Zheng Zhibao must be prepared if he dares to do this, but Lord Hou can't act impulsively. Besides, the camp is about to run out of food, and the most urgent thing is to find ways to buy food as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the camp immediately!"

Hearing He Gang's words, Wang Yan's anger calmed down a little, but the officials under his command were injured by Zheng Zhibao for no reason, and he also took money and food from his ships. If he does not avenge this revenge, then his general will lose heart, but if he wants to take revenge, he really needs to think long-term.

At that moment, Wang Yan called He Gang and said: "The man said it is reasonable, you can bring Yin to Fujing to purchase a batch of grain and grass to solve the urgent need, and this Marquis will go to the palace to meet His Majesty, explain what happened, and gain the support of the government and the public. "

"Promise!" He Gang clasped his fists in response immediately, "Your Majesty, I'll do it now!"

After He Gang finished speaking, he turned around and came out of the camp. Seeing this, Wang Yan looked around at the people in the tent and said, "Master Zhou was injured and the money and food were taken away. Don't let the news out. The soldiers in the camp who have already heard about this matter must go first. Control it to prevent the morale of the army from being turbulent, understand?"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I'll know the seriousness later!" Seeing Wang Yan's serious expression, the generals and officials immediately clasped their fists and said.

Seeing this, Wang Yan nodded and left the tent.After changing into his court uniform, he ordered his soldiers to bring his war horses, and then, under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, he rushed to Fujing.

In the palace, Emperor Longwu was looking at a memorial with a gloomy face. Suddenly, a servant came to report, saying that Wang Yan, the loyal and brave Hou, asked to see him. Emperor Longwu then put down the memorial and asked his servant to welcome Wang Yan into the palace.

Wang Yanzhi followed to salute Longwu, "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"The Qing family is safe!" Emperor Longwu raised his hand slightly, and then said: "I just want to invite the Qing family to come, but if I don't want the Qing family to come, I will save a lot of effort."

"Your Majesty wants to recruit ministers, what's the matter?" Wang Yanguan, Emperor Longwu was not as excited as he was in the early court, but his expression was a little downcast. He couldn't help being surprised, put aside his own affairs first, and asked.

"Give me a seat!" Emperor Longwu spoke to his servants first, and waited for Wang Yan to thank the seat before he said: "Today I received a report from Lord Pingguo that Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang in Guilin, has called himself the supervisor of the country and changed Guilin to Xijing. With Yang Guowei, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, as the general, and Sun Jinding as the scholar of the Dongge University, he called on the hyena to be brave, and locked up the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shixu, who did not want to join him. He has led troops out of Pingle and Wuzhou, and intends to invade Guangdong! "

When Wang Yan heard the emperor's words, his complexion changed drastically. The court in Fuzhou was not yet stable, and civil strife suddenly broke out in Guangxi. Even his guarded Guangdong would be threatened. It's really not helping Ming.

At this time, Wang Yan thought of Zheng Zhibao's actions, and also thought of why Ping Guogong played this memorial today, and he already understood in his heart that it was Zheng who regarded him as a thorn in his side and wanted to force him to leave Fujing so that he could control the court alone.

"A few days ago, King Lu of Zhejiang Province sent people to come to the rescue. He didn't call me His Majesty, but Uncle Huang. I sent the military department to Liu Zhongzao to announce the decree. The two families were not separated from each other. The officials appointed by King Lu, When entering our dynasty, they all held the same official position. I also personally wrote a letter to the King of Lu, saying that I have no sons, and that the king is the nephew of the emperor. No response!" Emperor Longwu then complained: "The matter of King Lu's supervision of the country in Zhejiang has not yet been resolved, and now King Jingjiang has rebelled again! Only at this moment when the enemy is at hand, and the same surname is the first to fight, and the country has three masters, how can it be a rejuvenation?"

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged! The change of King Jingjiang, I wish to make it up!" Seeing that Emperor Longwu was a little depressed, Wang Yan couldn't help but hastily bowed.
