On the east side of the Nandu Jinling City, the southern foot of Zijin Mountain, and at the foot of Shenlie Mountain in Dulongfu, a huge cemetery stands tall, with an area of ​​thousands of acres, making it one of the largest imperial tombs ever.

This is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, and the Ming Xiao Mausoleum.

The "filial piety" in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is taken from the "filial piety" of the "Empress Xiaoci Gao", because not only Zhu Yuanzhang is buried here, but also the queen Ma, whom he loves most.

That afternoon, the team of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty for worshiping ancestors finally arrived here. The group was exhausted after passing by the carriages and horses, and they also experienced the pain of boats. However, everyone did not rest because everyone had many things, including Emperor Jiajing.

At this time, the imperial tent had been built, and the senior officials and nobles left behind in Jinling, Nandu had already been arranged outside the huge imperial tent waiting for Jiajing to receive him. The scene was solemn.

In the imperial tent, Yan Song, Yang Cong, Gu Kexue and other important officials of the court who were accompanying him stood there respectfully, with a solemn face, waiting for the tired Jiajing on the dragon throne to recover and explain the matter of worshiping ancestors.

At this moment, a faint sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance. The sound of the hooves was not dense, and it sounded like one person was riding one by one. However, the sound was gradually becoming clear and audible. It was obvious that someone was racing towards this side.

Who is this?

The Holy Lord is here, he has no scruples at all!

Just as everyone showed curiosity, the horse's hooves stopped, and a sound came from far away. Soon, a eunuch with him squealed outside: "Emperor, there is an 800-li expedition memorial jointly issued by Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Envoy, Zhejiang Examination Censorate and Zhejiang Dushi."

Jiajing was also curious and couldn't do it anymore. What happened? He even rushed to chase him here in a hurry.

Without thinking, he said loudly: "Come on."

A eunuch responded to the sound, held the memorial in his hand and walked quickly to Jiajing.

When Jiajing took the memorial, he immediately looked angry.

It turned out that Japanese pirates attacked Yuyao County. The Xie clan, the most famous official family in Yuyao, was almost destroyed by the Japanese pirates. Even the family of Zhao Wenhua, the former right deputy envoy of the Censorate, the Minister of Works, and the governor of the five Southeast provinces, was killed all of them!

At this time, Japanese pirates came to attack the county town, killing people and setting fires. Isn’t this obvious slap him in the face?

He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Qingfeng, didn't you say that the Japanese pirates have disappeared?"

Yang Cong is so inexplicable, what's wrong? This is it?

Jiajing's meaning seems to be a pirate in some places. The problem is that he has not received any news yet. What's going on?

He was stunned for a moment, then he carefully bowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid, what happened?"

Jiajing said with a slight anger: "The Japanese pirates have all gone to Yuyao County to go wild. The former deputy commander of the Censorate, the Minister of Works, and the governor of the five Southeast provinces, Zhao Wenhua, were killed completely. Is this what you said that the Japanese pirates have disappeared?"

Damn, this happened!

What does it mean to have a Japanese pirates at this time?

Obviously, this matter must have been directed at him, Yang Cong, not Jiajing.

If the Japanese pirates came to Jiajing, they would go directly to Jinling City or Fengyang Mansion, so why bother to Yuyao?

These guys seemed to want to deliberately tell Jiajing that the Japanese pirates were far from being completely wiped out.

Yan Song, you guy is so poisonous!

This Zhao Wenhua is your godson. He has sacrificed his life for justice for you, and you have even destroyed the whole family!

Are you, don’t you just want to embarrass me? Is it necessary to be so crazy?

Thinking of this, Yang Cong couldn't help but secretly glance at Yan Song.

Yan Song was still solemnly at this moment, standing there like a sculpture, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

This guy is indeed a ghost. No matter what, Zhao Wenhua is also his godson, and the Xie family in Yuyao also surrenders to his forces. Now that they have been wiped out, he should have reacted a little.

Now, this guy is actually pretending to be a sculpture. Who are you showing it?

This guy is really fucking. At this time, it is a great opportunity to catch the Japanese pirates jump out to cause trouble.

Yang Cong had already known that this guy could recover at any time when the Japanese pirates were in danger, but he did not expect that Yan Song would pick up the Japanese pirates at this time to recover.

This is the critical moment when Jiajing went south to worship his ancestors. The Japanese pirates actually resurrected at this time. It would be strange if Jiajing was not angry.

I'm careless, I'm too careless!

Yan Song's purpose of doing this is definitely to compete for control of the Southeast, and then gain the support of the Southeast gentry and dominate the maritime interests.

Zhejiang Cheng announced the Political Envoy Department, and the Zhejiang Censorate and Zhejiang Dushi did not say a word and submitted a report directly to Jiajing, which proves that Yan Song had secretly installed many close friends in Zhejiang.

This guy must have a chance to do it!

Now, what should I do?

Yang Cong secretly glanced at Yan Song, then secretly glanced at Jiajing. At this moment, he thought a lot.

With this pair of tyrant monarchs and treacherous ministers, everything he does seems to be in vain.

If you want to change all this, you can only let Jiajing die!

Even if you can't kill Jiajing this time, you will find a way to kill this foolish monarch as soon as possible in the future!

Thinking of this, he already had a scheming in his heart. You want to play, right? Let you have fun.

He pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Majesty, I have been leaving the southeast for several years. What happened in Yuyao is really not clear. I am willing to go to Yuyao in person to investigate the Japanese pirates, and ask the emperor to approve it."

This kid is a little responsible. At least he doesn't learn to hide when he encounters trouble. Jiajing calmed down his anger a little and was about to go to Yuyao to investigate in person. Yan Song suddenly coughed and bowed: "Master Yang has been in charge of the southeast for many times to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. I feel that Lord Yang should take a break, and it's better to take charge of this matter."

These words seemed to be praising Yang Cong, but in fact they were slapping Yang Cong in the face.

Yan Song meant that Jiajing was implying that Yang Cong had suppressed the Japanese pirates so many times, and he said that the suppression was almost the same every time, but it would not take long to resume. There must be something tricky about it!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Yes, Yang Cong always seemed to say that the Japanese pirates were almost suppressed, but soon the Japanese pirates would revive again. Is Yang Cong always lying?

He thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Well, can you be the right person?"

Yan Song said without hesitation: "Huguang Governor Zhang Yu is loyal to his duties and is well-versed in military affairs, and can bear the heavy responsibility."

Zhang Yu, the governor of Huguang, had some impression of Jiajing, after all, his hometown is in Huguang.

He was about to nod his head to agree, but unexpectedly, Yang Cong coughed and bowed, "Emperor, Yuyao is only five or six hundred miles away, and it takes less than a day to take a fast ship. The governor of Huguang Zhang Yu is coming, which will be at least a month later. I think that in order for the emperor to ensure the safety of the emperor's sage, we should investigate thoroughly from Jinling to Yuyao as soon as possible, just in case, as for who will be responsible for encircling and suppressing Japanese pirates, it will be a matter of the future."

This seems to make some sense. The distance water cannot quench the near thirst. Zhang Yu is still in Huguang at this moment. If the Japanese pirates come from Yuyao all the way to death, what's the point even if they let Governor Zhang Yu in the southeast?

Thinking of this, Jiajing couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, you're right. Let's go along the line of Jinling to Yuyao to carefully investigate before talking about it. Qingfeng, you have been in the southeast for many years and should be very familiar with this place. You should be responsible. You can go and investigate immediately, so you can't let the Japanese pirates touch Jinling silently."
