The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Seeing Yan Song's worry, Jiajing asked, "Yan Aiqing, why are you so worried?"

Yan Song smiled and said: "I am indeed a little worried. According to the report of Guizhou Chief Minister Wang Yongji a few days ago, since this year, according to the prince's request, he has urged the gold and silver mines located in various places in Guizhou to increase mining efforts. They even went deep into the confidantes of the Miao and Yi to carry out exploration, and the gold and silver mined was indeed 4% more than in the past. But it also aroused the resistance of the Miao, Yi and other ethnic groups. This year, more than 40 large-scale rebellions broke out in Guizhou , so that the command of Guizhou made Wang Bo exhausted. But there are hundreds of thousands of mountains, tens of millions of Miao Yi, and tens of thousands of troops in other areas, it is really powerless~`"

Jiajing also frowned deeply.

Obviously, he has also read the memorials of Wang Yongji, the chief minister of Guizhou, and Wang Bo, the commander of the capital.

Speaking of Yungui, the crown prince and the cabinet all frowned.

"Yungui's poor mountains and evil waters bring out troublesome people. There is a saying that there is no three days of sunshine in the sky, no three feet of flat land, and no three cents of silver for people." Lao Ge Lao Xu praised, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the rich gold and silver, I would really I don’t know what is the use of such land?”

"The coast of the world is the land of the king." Yang Bo didn't like Xu Zan's conservative argument: "I, Emperor Yongle, expanded the territory, incorporated Guizhou into the territory, and set up the chief envoy. Is it wrong?"

Xu Zan shook his head hastily, but he didn't dare to say such words of abandoning Guizhou, and said with a dry smile: "I don't mean that. But since the establishment of the Chief Secretary of Guizhou in the 11th year of Yongle, the rebellion in Guizhou has never stopped. Putting down the rebellion For my Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates in the east, Altan Khan in the north, and Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest are really the three major battlefields, and my Ming Dynasty is overwhelmed."

Xu Zan is mature and prudent, and has been in office for more than 30 years, but he knows how much Ming Dynasty spends on these three battlefields every year.

Jiajing was silent for a while, and said earnestly: "The Southwest is my land of Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for loss! Since the establishment of our dynasty, we have attached great importance to the Southwest. Since the 15th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu established the Yunnan Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division and the Yunnan Bureau In the 17th year of Hongwu, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Mu Ying, etc. were sent to pacify Yunnan. The situation in the Southwest has become corrupt again recently. I am very worried."

The crown prince came out and said impassionedly: "Father! The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the minister of the humiliation will die. The son is willing to lead troops to the southwest to put down the rebellion!"

Jiajing shook his head: "Wang Yongji's memorial only said that the situation was critical, but he didn't say what happened. The court should keep calm now and not use troops lightly. I estimate that new news will come in the next year or so. .”

When Yan Song thought of Wang Yongji, his heart skipped a beat.

Nima, I've been feeling jittery lately, isn't there something wrong?

But that's all for now.

Jiajing smiled: "Now, the annual holiday of the imperial court is about to begin. These days, dear friends, let's celebrate the New Year at home. Yan Aiqing, on New Year's Eve, you bring your family to the palace, and the Queen and I will have a New Year's Eve dinner with you .”

After thinking about it, Jiajing finally had no choice but to reward Yan Song with family affection.

All the elders in the pavilion looked at Yan Song with envy.

The same is the old cabinet, why is the gap so big?

The prince was secretly full of bullshit.

Your sister, am I really my biological son?

Why is it that during the New Year's Eve, the royal father wants to be accompanied by Yan Thief, and he doesn't want me and his grandson?

The prince looked at the emperor and Yan Song with resentful eyes for ten generations.

The good friends didn't notice the prince's grievances at all.

Yan Song thought to himself, it's so annoying that the emperor wants me to accompany the New Year's Eve.

I want to play mahjong with Chen Yuanyuan and Simei, isn't it better than having dinner with you?

(Prince: Turn the table (╯‵□)╯︵┻━┻)

Yan Song returned to the mansion.

When he got home, Yan Song put aside his worries about Wang Yongji (Wang Li's), and spent a happy and peaceful year with his family first, which is the serious business.

Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, which is considered a small year, and tomorrow is the [-]th of the new year.

This night, there was also the sound of firecrackers.

Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, Li Xiangjun, and Bian Saisai, four stunning beauties and eight gorgeous oirans, sat around Yan Song, smiling like flowers and chatting happily.

Yan Song looked at the four wives who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and from time to time he would secretly send glances to him, and cast affectionate glances at him.

It is said that Yan Song has traveled to this era and has no children yet, which is not acceptable.Yan Song is determined to try to have one or two children next year.

Chen Yuanyuan was in high spirits, and suggested: "Our family celebrates the New Year by ourselves, it's not lively enough. How about Shakespeare, Peter Pater, Descartes, Michelangelo...".

"Why don't we bring these poor foreign benefactors together and let them experience the festive atmosphere of Ming Dynasty, okay? There are also Xu Xiake, Xu Guangqi, Cheng Dawei, Li Shizhen, Tang Xianzu, who you have always valued, come along too. .”

Yan Song thought about it, poor children like Shakespeare were sold as slaves to Daming, and it is really miserable to celebrate the New Year alone.This is a great opportunity for family fun.

"Okay! Then let's celebrate the New Year together. Make it more lively." Yan Song nodded.

The next day is New Year's Eve.

The 25th year of Jiajing New Year's Eve is coming.

Yan Song's mansion held a grand family banquet.

Shakespeare, Peter Pater, Descartes, Michelangelo and other foreign experts, artists, scientists, as well as Xu Xiake, Xu Guangqi, Cheng Dawei, Li Shizhen, Tang Xianzu and others who worked under Yan Song gathered a large table, and it was lively Noisy.

At the same time, Yan Song had more old disciples who also came here one after another.

Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue, Shen Lian, and Luo Wanhua, each of whom he handpicked 550 young talents and future stars of Ming Dynasty, also came from Tianjin one after another, forming a large table.

In fact, Chen Yuanyuan also invited Bao Zheng and Hai Rui in the name of Yan Song.But Bao Zheng sent a glass of water, saying that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and he refused to come.Hai Rui also said that the prefect of Tianjin had a heavy responsibility and refused to come.

This embarrassed Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue and other colleagues.

Yan Song can think about it.

Hai Rui has such virtues, it would be hell if he could come.

However, Hai Rui also sent a package of vegetables, which were said to be grown by himself.

Wang Jiaping said with a smile, Hai Rui, the first prefect of Tianjin, has already turned the prefect's office into a vegetable garden, with a total of 30 mu of land. It is estimated that the second prefect of Tianjin will be arrested. If he does not continue to grow vegetables, it seems that he has lost Hai Rui. The tradition of honest and upright officials, continue to grow vegetables, a full 30 acres of land, don't do errands just for farming!
