The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Looking at hundreds of ugly Japanese pirate kuntou (Japanese pirate hairstyles), Jiajing Long's heart was filled with joy.

Yan Song hit the iron while it was hot, and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty's sage is able to produce a strong general like Qi Jiguang. It is really a blessing for the community and the people."

Jiajing heard it pleasing to his ears, and laughed: "Yan Aiqing is right. Qi Jiguang is really a tiger general bestowed on me by the heavens. I wonder what his official position is now?"

Yan Song introduced: "The hereditary Mingwei General."

Jiajing frowned.

General Mingwei sounds very imposing, but it is actually the title of a military officer, not a real-time military officer.That is to say, Qi Jiguang, who killed the Japanese pirates in a majestic manner just now, does not actually have a formal official title.

The Ming Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and the rank and treatment of generals were very low.This is actually just a fourth-rank official, and needs to be restrained by local civil officials in Suzhou.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang, who was majestic and majestic on the battlefield, shrank his hands and feet as soon as he arrived in the officialdom.Yan Song wants to take advantage of Jiajing's pleasure to add an official to him, so that he can grasp more power as soon as possible.

Sure enough, Jiajing heard that such a loyal and brave general was only a hereditary fourth-rank official, or the title of a Wusan official. Japanese pirates..."

Jiangsu General Soldier is a third-rank military attache with actual military power, equivalent to the current theater commander.

Qi Jiguang was overjoyed, he didn't expect Lord Yan Song to bring the emperor with him, he would give him such a great gift, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Dare not to die, in order to repay the emperor's kindness!"

Jiajing rewarded Qi Jiguang heavily, and he was satisfied, but when he turned his face, he became gloomy: "Where is the prefect of Suzhou?"

Hearing his gloomy voice, the prefect of Suzhou still trembled, knowing that the one who should come would not be able to escape after all, he gave a wry smile, walked out of the queue, and knelt on the ground: "Chen, the prefect of Suzhou still maintains, see Your Majesty."

Yan Song frowned, knowing that the tragic situation in Suzhou had deeply hurt Jiajing's sensitive and fragile emperor's heart, and he wanted to find a scapegoat to vent his anger.

Jiajing has always believed that he is the number one emperor in the world.Since the emperor was right and the disaster of the Japanese pirates was so tragic, it must be that the officials and monks below have misrepresented the scriptures.

The prefect of Suzhou is naturally the emperor's scapegoat.

Jiajing glared coldly at Shang Weiwei: "How did you, the prefect of Suzhou, do you? Japanese pirates are rampant in Suzhou, and you are helpless. I see that you are either a corrupt person who perverts the law, or a weak and incompetent person! What use are you for?"

Shang Wei sighed, but didn't dare to defend himself, and knelt on the ground, weeping and sighing.

Seeing that Shangwei, the magistrate of Suzhou, was about to be angered by Jiajing and suffered the wrath of Thunder, Yan Song rolled his eyes twice.

As far as he knew, Shang Wei was actually a good official.He served as the magistrate of Suzhou not long ago, but he dared to delegate power and supported Qi Jiguang, Ren Huan and other famous generals to fight against the Japanese. It has become an important military barrier guarding the west of Suzhou City.

Shang Wei, as the name suggests, his existence makes Suzhou, which has been trampled by Japanese pirates, still maintainable. If he is gone, or replaced by a mediocre person, the city of Suzhou may have already fallen.

Yan Song decided to keep Shang Weiwei, let him owe him a favor, and leave a good prefect in Suzhou, which has been ravaged by war.

"Your Majesty, this is still maintained, but it has been less than eight months since I took office." Yan Song smiled and said: "The people of Suzhou say that Jiguang Jiguang killed all the Japanese pirates, and it is still possible to maintain it. They are talking about Shangwei."

It was only then that Jiajing realized that Shang Weiwei was the new magistrate of Suzhou, and he should not be responsible for the blame, so he smiled helplessly: "`‖ It seems that the imperial court owed Suzhou too much, which made the situation corrupt to this point what."

Jiajing's words not only moved Shang Weiwei to tears, but also moved the people in Suzhou around.

As mentioned earlier, Suzhou actually had a lot of grievances and enmities with the Ming Dynasty. It was really a three-year-old child who lost his mother, which is a long story.

Suzhou used to be the capital of Zhang Shicheng, and Zhu Yuanzhang imposed heavy taxes on it, making it extremely miserable.

During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates invaded on a large scale, and Suzhou became the hardest-hit area for Japanese pirates, which made Suzhou people's resentment towards Daming reach its peak.

From Suzhou people’s point of view, Lao Tzu contributed so much money and food to Daming, as well as so many talented officials. As a result, Japanese pirates kept invading, burning, killing, and looting, but Daming couldn’t come up with good soldiers and strong generals to protect Suzhou and protect it from Japanese invaders. Then Lao Tzu (Wang Wang's) has a fart for paying taxes and food?It's better to use a lot of money to bribe Japanese pirates, so as to save money and avoid disaster.

Therefore, after the Jiajing dragon boat arrived in Suzhou, it did not receive a warm welcome like other places. On the one hand, it is true that Japanese pirates invaded, burned, killed and looted, and on the other hand, the resentment in the hearts of the people of Suzhou was still unresolved.

Now, under the eyes of everyone, Emperor Jiajing sighed: "The imperial court owes Suzhou too much", and the resentful Suzhou people finally let out a sigh of relief, saying to themselves: "You only know." But there was an outlet At this time, the people of Suzhou no longer regarded the emperor as an enemy and treated them indifferently, and immediately burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"The emperor is holy"

"Also ask the emperor to make the decision for my Suzhou!"

"I look forward to the emperor in Suzhou, just like looking forward to the rain after a long drought.".

Chapter 239 The pretending is over, the emperor is responsible! 【2】

Jiajing looked at the elders in Suzhou with tears in his eyes. The angry child looked like his mother, and his desire to pretend was greatly satisfied. He laughed and said proudly: "Okay! Folks in Suzhou, I assure you that Suzhou is the imperial court. Over the past 100 years, it has made great contributions to the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court will not forget Suzhou. These Japanese pirates are rampant, and it is my confidant’s trouble. I will definitely dispatch troops and appoint talented people to fight and wipe out these Japanese pirates as soon as possible! I am bright and clear!"

The people in Suzhou who were in dire straits were even more excited when they heard this, they knelt on the ground in groups and shouted long live.

"The emperor is holy!"

"The emperor saves the people from water and fire."

"If the Japanese pirates are wiped out, we are willing to pay for the construction of the emperor's Wanjiasheng Temple, and sacrifices from time to time."

The last sentence, although Jiajing is not cold about being included in the sacrificial objects before he is dead, but thinking that only the Taoist Sanqing like the Taishang Laojun is eligible to be hung on the wall by the people and sacrificed all the time, Being able to stand side by side with the gods also greatly satisfied his vanity, and he smiled even brighter.

Seeing the emperor playing the role of the savior among the people, the old habit of pretending to be coercive was committed again, but Yan Song snickered from behind.

The reaction of the 397 people in Suzhou is certainly in his calculations, but the cunning Yan Song has already sent people to infiltrate the people, mobilized extensively, explained their interests, and his character, telling them to wipe out the Japanese pirates as soon as possible, and save them from suffering. To come out of it, one must learn to flatter the emperor, flatter the emperor, and satisfy the emperor's pretentious vanity, forcing the emperor to invest in heavy troops and strong generals to consolidate Suzhou's defense.

It's really not easy for Yan Song to satisfy the emperor's desire to pretend, but also to be calm and moisturised, to help Jiajing find a place to pretend, and to teach him who to pretend to be, how to pose in the best posture, It's not easy for him to pretend.

Ordinary acts of coercion, such as beating up dandies, and heroes saving beauty, can no longer satisfy Jiajing's increasingly coquettish heart.

Yan Song asked Jiajing to come to Suzhou to act aggressively, because he had already thought about Jiajing acting aggressively, which required a greater style, layout and background.

That is anti-Japanese.

For Jiajing before the Southern Tour, anti-Japanese war was just a distant story, and he who was obsessed with cultivating Taoism would at most just wave his hands lazily and let Yan Song do it himself, he was too lazy to ask.

But now, Jiajing, who is on the southern tour, not only has a painful experience of Japanese pirates, but also learned to pretend to be coercive under the tireless influence of Yan Song, and has since embarked on the road of pretending to be coercive.

This kind of emperor's pretentiousness with the theme of fighting against Japanese pirates is just right!
