Volume Three, Chapter 76, Give Up Halfway
Yan Song really didn't expect that Xia Yan, who seemed to be brainless, would actually play this trick with him. At this moment, his plan was completely disrupted.
Originally, he thought that as long as Yang Shun became the governor of Zhejiang Zhi, the Southeast would basically be under control. Unexpectedly, Yang Cong would appear halfway.
In fact, Yang Cong didn't expect Jiajing to order him to be the governor of Zhejiang. Xia Yan's move was indeed powerful and he had tricked him into it. Even if he didn't want to fight Yan Song head-on at this moment, he had to go and fight with him.
Unfortunately, the situation in the northwest has finally improved a little and then gave up halfway.
At this moment, he had almost made the weapons and equipment of the elite troops of the border troops in Taiyuan Town, and Xuanfu Town and Datong Town were also built like iron barrels by him. The Tartars would definitely not get any advantage when they came to Shanxi again.
However, he had not started to build the elite equipment of the Shaanxi border army. He wanted to counterattack the Tartars, but it seemed that he was almost at a loss.
In fact, he also knew the relationship between Qiu Luan and Yan Song. In his heart, he really didn't want to build equipment for Qiu Luan's men, because that was equivalent to helping his political enemies make achievements.
Of course, he is not the kind of person who cares about the interests of the country for his own selfishness.
Originally, he wanted to change his plan a little, and trained 30,000 elite border troops in Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and Taiyuan Town, and then uniformly equipped them with the latest weapons. In this way, the troops of these three towns could break into Hetao and beat the Tartars to the point of urination.
As for the men under Qiu Luan from Bianzhen, Shaanxi, it is impossible to let them beat the Bian drum. It is useless to give them weapons and equipment and let them steal their military merits.
Unexpectedly, before he could report to Jiajing, the imperial court's order came.
This made him really confused.
Of course he knew what was going on in the southeast. It was not difficult to eliminate the pirates and Japanese pirates rampaging the southeast coast, because the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were not very strong, at least not as strong as the Tartars. If you train tens of thousands of elite soldiers, you can beat them to the north. However, the backstage is very strong.
The power of the maritime wealthy families there is deep-rooted. It is difficult to eliminate it. Now, with Yan Song’s support, it is even more difficult.
What he had to face was not only pirates and Japanese pirates, but also the maritime merchants and Yan Song's party. If one is not good, Zhu Wan is his role model.
Of course, he was not confident at all. After all, he was also considered a local snake in the southeast. Moreover, he had considered how to deal with pirates and Japanese pirates. If Jiajing could provide enough support, he would not be unable to defeat the maritime merchants and Yan Song's party.
The most important thing at this moment is Jiajing's support, so after receiving the appointment, he made a little arrangement, and took his family in a carriage, under the escort of the Jinyiwei and his confidant master, and headed straight to the capital.
In order to gain Jiajing's support, he took some effort and even calculated the time he arrived in the capital.
They arrived in the capital at about 10 o'clock in the afternoon. With Jiajing's fault, he would definitely not meet the court officials at this time, but Lu Ling'er is an exception. If this little girl wants to enter the palace, she can go in even at night. Jiajing is very fond of her.
Yang Cong wanted Lu Ling'er to give him a foreshadowing, so that he would not arouse Jiajing's disgust if he rashly returned to Beijing.
Lu Ling'er also fought hard for her husband. After rushing to the capital, she didn't even have time to take a break or pay a visit to her parents, so she headed straight to the palace.
The palace is very cautious now, because all the court officials have left the palace and Jiajing has to go to bed. If nothing big happens, if ordinary people dare to disturb Jiajing, they may be beaten.
Of course, Lu Ling'er would not be beaten, and the palace guards would not dare to stop her. Anyone who dared to stop her would be lighter to be beaten.
She ran into the palace with a swagger and headed straight for the Ganqing Palace.
Jiajing is having a meal now because he wants to practice the art of immortality and eat elixirs. Now he is strictly forbidden to disturb anyone, and even the queen cannot do it. So when Lu Ling'er ran in, he was shocked.
Fortunately, he has finished taking the elixir and is preparing for a meal, so it doesn’t matter.
When he saw Lu Ling'er, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise: "Ling'er, why have you run back?"
When Lu Ling'er heard this, she pouted and said naively: "Brother Hui, don't you want me to come back? I miss you so much, so I ran over to see you as soon as I returned to Beijing."
Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but touch his forehead and smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, why don't I want you to come back? By the way, have you eaten? If you don't eat, just eat with me."
If the court officials saw him like this, his eyes would fall all over the floor.
Jiajing is usually the most etiquette, and he basically killed those who dare to offend him.
Of course, Lu Ling'er is different. In his eyes, Lu Ling'er is his family and there is no problem of taking offense or not being offensive.
When they were young, they often had dinner together. At that time, Lu Ling'er was a mess and often grabbed vegetables from his bowl or even knocked him with chopsticks. He would not get angry, but instead be so happy.
At that time, he was just a little prince who was just waiting to die, so he didn't care about any etiquette.
Thinking of the childhood scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it was still fun when I was a child. At that time, I was carefree and no one cared about what I wanted to do. Now you have grown up and can't accompany me anymore, and I can't do things unscrupulously, alas."
While he was talking, he kindly pulled Lu Ling'er to sit down and picked up some dishes for Lu Ling'er that she liked to eat, just like an ordinary brother, but his face contained indescribable loneliness and nostalgia.
Seeing this, Lu Ling'er quickly comforted her: "Brother Hui, you are the emperor now, and many people can't envy you."
Jiajing smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "What's the point of being the emperor? I've got a lot of worries all day long."
Unexpectedly, Lu Ling'er nodded with the same feeling and said, "Yes, you men have many worries. My husband has been like you these days, sighing."
Upon hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but say curiously: "Oh, is Qingfeng back too? What's he upset about?"
Lu Ling'er shook her head naively and said, "How can I know what he is upset about? Judging from what he means, it seems to be about pirates and Japanese pirates. He rushed back to the capital this time to discuss it with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiajing nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, these pirates and Japanese pirates are indeed a headache. I don't know if Qingfeng is confident of clearing out these disasters. You should ask him to come to me early tomorrow morning, and I want to talk to him about this issue."
