As the chief minister of the cabinet, Yan Song blindly believed Zhao Wenhua and helped Zhao Wenhua and misled Jiajing, which almost made Jiajing do the wrong thing to kill the hero. This is a typical deception of the emperor.

If it were someone else, even if Jiajing was not furious and ordered someone to drag him out and chop him, he would at least be dismissed from his post and investigated him and sent him to the imperial prison for interrogation.

However, when Yan Song said this, Jiajing felt a little thankful in his heart!

Because, he didn't want to be blind in his heart, and he couldn't even see clearly the cabinet chief.

Yan Song said this just happened to be the same as what he expected in his heart, so he naturally believed it!

How to deal with the crime of deceiving the king is not to see whether he, the "king", let others deceive the king. It is natural that it is not possible for Yan Song to deceive the king, but it is forgivable that Yan Song is his favorite courtier, and occasionally commits a confusion and tells a few lies in front of him. What's wrong?

He believed that this was not a major event. The key was that the Southeast was not instructed by Yan Song.

This proves that he is not blind yet.

He looked at Yan Song crying and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Okay, only people are not sages, so who can do nothing. Just be careful in the future. Don't cry like this, get up."

Yan Song still lay there and cried bitterly, "I am guilty, I am sorry to the emperor."

The old man with white hair and beard lay there and cried bitterly. He looked a little pitiful. Jiajing couldn't help but comfort him: "Okay, okay, I'll forgive you for being innocent, you can get up first."

What I'm waiting for is your words.

When Yan Song heard this, he wiped his tears and snot, pretended to be too repentant, and then he got up tremblingly and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your grace, the emperor."

Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The old man was crying in front of him, and he couldn't stand it.

He thought for a while, then asked solemnly: "Your sin can be forgiven, but Zhao Wenhua is unforgivable. What do you think should Zhao Wenhua deal with?"

Yan Song is not interested in regulating Zhao Wenhua's life and death at this moment. This useless thing is best if you die!

He pretended to be honest and said submissively: "I should avoid suspicion in this matter. How should Zhao Wenhua deal with it? But with the emperor's decision, I will never plead for him again."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you go down first, I will think about it carefully."

How Zhao Wenhua deals with this is second. The key is what to do with pirates and Japanese pirates. Even if he issued an order to kill Zhao Wenhua, so what if he did it? Pirates and Japanese pirates cannot be killed by him.

He thought about it carefully for a while and simply ordered someone to summon Yang Cong, the Minister of Rites, to come to see him. After all, Yang Cong once ruled the governor of Zhejiang Zhi and even suppressed the pirates and Japanese pirates. This matter would definitely be correct to ask him about it.

Yang Cong didn't expect Yan Song to escape by selling his godson Zhao Wenhua. He didn't know that Yan Song had already fallen into disguise, and he didn't even know what Jiajing was looking for him.

Fortunately, after the lord and ministers treated him, Jiajing said bluntly: "Zhao Wenhua, a treacherous villain, actually turned black and white, confused the public, and intended to deceive the emperor. I already know that the resurgence of the Japanese pirates was the one who made the mistake of Qingfeng, you said, how should we deal with the Southeast? "

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He really didn't expect that Jiajing would "see the truth" so quickly. He still thought that if he didn't do it, he ordered someone to catch Xie Shixian and take it to the capital to give it to Jiajing.

Since Jiajing saw Zhao Wenhua's true face clearly, Xie Shixian naturally did not rush to arrest him. As for how to deal with the Southeast, he had already made plans.

At this moment, when Jiajing asked, he bowed without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the southeast again to relieve the emperor's worries."

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned. He had never thought about letting Yang Cong go to the southeast again. He just wanted to ask Yang Cong how to end this matter.

Yang Cong actually recommended himself to go to the Southeast to clean up the mess without hesitation. This was really a bit beyond his expectations.

He couldn't help but say in surprise: "You are the Minister of Rites. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to go to the southeast to clean up pirates and Japanese pirates?"

Yang Cong said seriously: "Zhao Wenhua is also the Minister of Works. He can even govern Zhejiang Zhi. Weichen, the Minister of Rites, shouldn't have any problems? Besides, he has no experience in leading troops. Weichen has led troops to eliminate Japanese pirates and pirates."

What this said is reasonable, but Jiajing was a little suspicious, because Yang Cong insisted on going to the Southeast so much. This guy would not have any intention, right?

He couldn't help asking, "Qingfeng, do you know that Zhao Wenhua said that Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan were both generals of your Yang family army!"

What about the Yang family army? Zhao Wenhua is too bored.

Yang Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the words of a treacherous villain like Zhao Wenhua are not credible. I have never heard of the Yang family army. Moreover, I have never led the army for several years. When I first established the dynasty, I was not a long-time general who had led the army for more than ten years or even decades, and I have never seen anyone talk about any army or any army."

He was telling Jiajing that he had no inappropriate thoughts. The Yang family army and other things were all talking nonsense. Zhao Wenhua asked him to lead the troops for a few years and had some plans. Then wouldn’t all the generals at the beginning of the dynasty have plans!

The reason why he insisted on going to the Southeast was mainly because he didn't want to be idle.

At this moment, his disciples have been trained almost all, and the book "Theory of Investigating Things and Learning Knowledge" has been published, and the School of Physics has also been on track. It seems that nothing is wrong to stay in the capital, so it is better to take the opportunity to develop a navy in the southeast.

Of course, Jiajing didn't know what he wanted to go to the Southeast, as long as he didn't make a mistake in his intentions.

After he said this, Jiajing felt relieved.

Yes, when the dynasty was first established, in the year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had more than two million troops. At that time, the commanders of the generals were not commanding tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops, and they were not commanding for a year or two, but for more than ten or even decades, and they were not treated like this.

Yang Cong has only been in charge of the army for a few years, and his plan is simply nonsense.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will give you the right censor of the Censorate and ask you to go to the governor of Southeast Affairs. If you go, I naturally don't have to worry about anything."

Yang Cong quickly said modestly: "The emperor has been too rewarded, and I will do my best to share the worries for the emperor."

Jiajing nodded slightly, then asked again: "How long do you think the Southeast incident will be resolved?"

He was a little anxious because Gu Kexue said that pirates and Japanese pirates were having trouble, and the medicine could not be refined.

The problem is, he is anxious, but Yang Cong is not anxious.

After hearing this, Yang Cong pretended to think carefully, and then solemnly said: "If it is initially pacified, it will take at least half a year. If it is completely pacified, it will probably take two or three years."

Two or three years?

How can that work? Not to mention two or three years, he has been thinking it’s long for half a year.

He pretended to be sad and pity: "The people of Su Yang's two palaces are suffering from the ravages of pirates and Japanese pirates. I am anxious, Qingfeng, can you hurry up?"

Yang Cong certainly understood what Jiajing meant. He nodded without hesitation: "This is simple. As long as we mobilize a large army, at most two or three months, we will definitely be able to drive the pirates and Japanese pirates out of Suzhou Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture. It will take some time to completely eliminate the pirates and Japanese pirates."

As long as you can drive the pirates and Japanese pirates out of Suzhou Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture, who cares about how long you will completely wipe out the pirates and Japanese pirates?
