Volume Three, Chapter 92, Unwilling to Believe

As the morning court dispersed, Jiajing was in a very bad mood, and the situation in the southeast was still eroded. There were urgent reports from Shandong, Guangdong, and even Fujian that pirates and Japanese pirates were still raging, and there was no sign of calm.

At this time, someone had already begun to impeach Yang Cong and did nothing.

He also knew that Yang Cong had just arrived in Nanzhili for a month and the support from Shanxi had just arrived. It was impossible for Yang Cong to solve the problems of pirates and Japanese pirates in such a short time, but he felt uncomfortable.

There is no way, I'm anxious. The Southeast is a place of taxation. Nearly 60% of the Ming Dynasty's taxes come from there. In the past six months, pirates and Japanese pirates have rampant, and the taxation in the Southeast has been sharply reduced, so the court can't stand it anymore.

He was sitting in the imperial study and frowned and pondered. Outside, Lu Bing suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."

This guy has something to say. What a joke, what can you say?

Although Jiajing was in a bad mood, he wouldn't have gotten angry at this breast brother. He just shook his head slightly, and then said helplessly: "Come in."

Lu Bing walked in quietly, looked around carefully as if he was a thief, then took out an envelope from his arms, raised his hands to Jiajing, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Southeast is urgently reported."

Hey, this guy really has something to report.

However, this guy should not have reported the Southeast urgent report.

These days, Jiajing has almost vomited after reading the Southeast urgent newspaper. It has it every day, every day. It would be strange if there is no one day.

Usually, the Tongzheng Department will be transferred to the Secretary for Lectures, or the cabinet will write a ticket to submit it again. When will it be Lu Bing's turn to submit it?

This has nothing to do with him.

Jiajing took the envelope from Lu Bing curiously and looked at it, and frowned.

This urgent report was actually passed by Yang Cong.

He doesn't like the officials in the court to use their relationship to break the rules. Yang Cong actually used Lu Bing's relationship to report privately, which is already considered to be a breaking the rules.

It would be fine if it was normal, but for Lu Ling'er's sake, he was too lazy to argue with Yang Cong.

However, he was really unhappy at this moment, because the situation in the southeast was so troublesome. You guy didn’t strengthen the coastal defense and eliminate pirates and Japanese pirates, and even used Lu Bing’s relationship to report privately. Have you eaten too much?

While unpacking the envelope, he warned: "Civilized, the court has the rules of the court. If you do less of such bad rules in the future, Yang Cong will report the memorial and ask him to directly pass it on to the Ministry of Justice."

I was so faint that the emperor was in a bad mood. He even called Yang Cong's name.

If Jiajing calls someone's name directly, this person should be careful, because this means that he is dissatisfied with you. Lu Bing is certainly clear about this, but he is not worried at all because he knows what Yang Cong reported.

Instead of defending Yang Cong, he nodded honestly and said, "I understand, I won't dare to do it next time."

Jiajing nodded, then slowly pulled out the things in the envelope, which contained a memorial and a stack of official documents. He habitually opened the memorial and looked carefully.

This memorial was nothing at the beginning. Yang Cong reported on the reunion of the pirate Wang Zhi. Yang Cong had already said about the reunion of the pirates when he went to Nanzhili. He also agreed. It was nothing to give someone a general of the Zhejiang Navy. Anyway, there was no navy in Zhejiang at this moment, and the general was just a bare-headed person, so the court did not need to allocate food and salary to him.

However, when Jiajing saw the back, his brows frowned again. Yang Cong actually said that Wang Zhi had made contributions to reporting Luo Longwen. Who is Luo Longwen?

Yang Cong actually said that because he was not Yan Song's confidant, other pirates and Japanese pirates refused to accept the pacification and refused to calm down. What does this matter have to do with Yan Song? What is this mess?

If it were someone else, Jiajing would really get angry. Fortunately, Yang Cong had the relationship with Lu Linger, so Jiajing held back.

After reading the memorial, he opened the official document and looked at it.

When he saw this, he was stunned.

It turned out that Luo Longwen was actually a guest of Yan's mansion. Moreover, according to Luo Longwen and Wang Zhi's confession, the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were all recruited by Yan Song!

this!

Jiajing only felt a thunder in his head that was thrown away by someone, and it exploded.

How could it be that the pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast were actually recruited by Yan Song?

Is Yan Song such a person?

It's impossible!

Yan Song is a rare wise minister, how could he do such a thing?

He subconsciously blurted out: "Is this Luo Longwen the guest of Yan's mansion?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Bing, who was standing beside him, said seriously: "Yes, Luo Longwen is a famous craftsman, and his ink making technology is awesome. He was not very famous in the capital at the time. Lord Yan's son Yan Shifan admired this person especially, so he recruited this person into the Yan Mansion as a guest. Many people in the capital know about this."

ah!

When Jiajing heard this, his eyes almost popped out.

This Luo Longwen is actually a guest of Yan’s mansion!

At this time, his mind was completely confused. Yan Song was one of the people he trusted the most. How could this guy do such a thing?

How is that possible!

He was stunned for a while, then asked solemnly: "Are Luo Longwen in the capital during this period?"

This is what Lu Bing asked if he had not received Yang Cong's secret letter, he would probably be asked inexplicably.

Lu Bing didn't know who Luo Longwen was. Luo Longwen is famous in the capital, and that's all nonsense. Who knows whether this guy is in the capital?

However, Lu Bing pretended to be very familiar at this moment and said without hesitation: "Luo Longwen has not appeared in the capital for a long time. Many literati and scholars in the capital want to buy the Huimo he made but can't find anyone."

Is this true?

Could it be that Yan Song is really the culprit of the Japanese invasion in the southeast?

Jiajing really didn't want to believe that Yan Song was such a person. The person he trusted so much was such a treacherous villain. How could it be?

At this time, he didn't know what to say.

Lu Bing secretly glanced at him, and then said carefully: "Emperor, Qingfeng said that he had ordered someone to secretly escort Luo Longwen back to Beijing. As long as people arrive in the capital, we will know if the Luo Longwen that Qingfeng caught was the guest of Yan's mansion."

Jiajing's mind was really completely confused at this moment. If Yan Song was such a person, he really didn't know how to face this fact.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then he thought carefully for a while before he slowly said: "Don't mention Luo Longwen's matter to anyone. After he is escorted back to Beijing, he will be immediately sent to the imperial prison and interrogate it carefully."

When Lu Bing heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I understand."

Jiajing thought about it and then explained: "This Luo Longwen, you will go to the trial with your confidants."

Lu Bing still bowed respectfully: "I understand."

He had no strange expression on the surface, but he was already so excited inside.
