Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1036 Gossip about Jiangnan

The setting sun is like blood, just like the neck behind the owl's head, the spurting blood stained half of the sky, and the crow flew over the dead branches, frightening an old dog looking for food, baring its ferocious canine teeth and dumb throat Roaring, he retreated into the shadows with his tail between his legs.

   Zhu Pingan, dressed in a blood-stained sunset, returned to Linhuaihou Mansion at the last moment before the curfew.

  The Linhuaihou Mansion is decorated with lights and festoons tonight, it is very lively.

After returning to Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Pingan found out that the Marquis of Linhuai had received an award from the imperial court. Today, he returned to the capital from Yingtian Mansion and brought a lot of special products from the south. Crab, Yingtian Yunjin, etc.

   After having dinner in the Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu brought back gifts and went to the East Courtyard to visit Linhuaihou and his wife.

"Fifth girl, you are really too, come here as soon as you come, what else do you bring. Your uncle came back from Yingtian this time, and he brought back a lot of gadgets. Brother Rui and Niuniu like it. Sixth girl just now I really like it. Qiuzhu, Qiuju, you go to the storeroom to bring back the gadgets that the master brought back, pick out novel and interesting ones, and pick out some of them..."

   Madam Linhuaihou took Li Shu to the master bedroom to talk, while Zhu Pingan and Linhuaihou went to the study to talk.

"As soon as I entered the capital today, I heard about Yang Jisheng's impeachment of Mr. Yan Ge. It's ridiculous to shake a big tree. I think Yang Jisheng has lost his head. I also heard about the court trial today. This matter is very serious. As usual, I think some people must be implicated. Zihou, I know that you and Yang Jisheng came from Xuge's old sect together, and you must have moved around before, but you must pay attention at this time, and you must make a clear distinction with Yang Jisheng. Boundary, don’t suffer from indiscriminate disasters. It’s not easy for you today, don’t be confused.”

  After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Marquis Linhuai went straight to the point and warned Zhu Pingan and Yang Jisheng to draw a clear line and not to be implicated.

  Of course, in fact, Marquis Linhuai was more worried that Marquis Linhuai's mansion would be implicated.

   "Ping An Province."

  Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an rolled his eyelids, and nodded calmly, showing a typical disagreement.

  The way is different, if you don’t want to talk, don’t want to argue, it’s better to answer with a duplicity, saving you a lot of talking.

   This is Zhu Pingan's idea.

  Seeing Zhu Pingan nodding in response, Marquis Linhuai stroked his beard in satisfaction. He thought it would take a lot of work.

"Nephew, I have been an official for many years, and I have some experience. As an official, you kowtow more and talk less, don't seek merit, but seek no fault, so that you can prosper as an official. You must know that there is no good luck, more blindness and more failures; Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about..."

  He had a heart attack, and as an elder, Marquis Linhuai half-ostentatiously shared with Zhu Pingan some of his experience as an official.

  Zhu Ping'an looked like he had benefited a lot, but in his heart ten thousand people disagreed. Being an official as Lin Huaihou said, isn't it just a typical vegetarian meal and doing nothing? ! As an official, he owes the country above and the people below. Although he has no merit or fault, he is guilty! Being an official in this way is not as good as singing in the drama "Seven Pins of Sesame Officials", "Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes".

   "Uncle, I don't know how the situation in the southeast is?" Zhu Pingan really couldn't listen anymore, so he changed the subject and asked.

   "Nephew is asking about the Japanese plague in the southeast, right?" Marquis Linhuai took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "This southeast coast, although the Japanese pirates attack the interior from time to time, but in my opinion, the Japanese plague is about to subside."

ha? ! Japanese plague is about to calm down?

  Zhu Ping'an heard that, he really didn't know what to say to Linhuaihou's eyes, and the Japanese troubles were almost calmed down? ! According to the timeline, it won't be long before Japanese pirates will invade the southeast coast, okay? The Japanese invaders during the Jiajing period caused disasters for more than ten years, which lasted longer than the little devils' invasion of China. There are still more than ten years before the peace is settled down!

Linhuai Hou saw that Zhu Ping'an was suspicious, so he couldn't help teaching with the attitude of the elders looking at the younger generation and looking far ahead, "Zihou, you are not in the southeast, so you don't know anything about the southeast. The pirate leader in the southeast is Wang Zhi. At the beginning of the year, Wang Zhi annexed Chen Sipan, the leader of the pirates in Fujian, and occupied Ligang, Zhoushan. , the government took advantage of Wang Zhi's desire to recruit peace, and carried out the practice of using thieves to destroy the thieves, and ordered Wang Zhi to kill Chen Sipan and other pirates who attacked the mainland. Pirates and Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River have been greatly reduced. With this situation, whether to recruit Wang Zhi, or trap and kill Wang Zhi, the southeast Japanese plague will be settled soon."

  Zhu Ping'an once again didn't know what to say to Linhuaihou's eyes.

Although Wang Zhi had great expectations for the imperial court, he was only a relatively large force of Japanese pirates. Many other Japanese pirate forces did not accept him, such as Xiao Xian, Deng Wenjun, Lin Bichuan, Shen Men from Fujian, and He Meng from Guangdong. Yaba and even some of Wang Zhi's subordinates, such as Xu Hai, also disagreed with Wang Zhi's ideas and refused to obey the management. In fact, Wang Zhi could neither exterminate the pirates nor restrain his subordinates. Recruiting him could not quell the Japanese troubles, and trapping him would arouse the Japanese troubles even more.

   Besides, Wang Zhi worked hard to put down other pirates in order to expand his strength. Moreover, Wang Zhi is not really interested in Zhao'an, what he seeks is "tributary". Wang Zhi wants to use the Japanese pirates to establish himself as a country, engage in independence and split, and then replace Japan's tributary position, trade with Ming Dynasty, and monopolize Ming Dynasty Overseas trade, he used the banners of "King of Jinghai" and "King of Hui" in the later stage, which means that he can establish himself as a country with the strength of Japanese pirates. How can you allow other people to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, Wang Zhi is so ambitious, colluded with Japanese pirates, and his hands are stained with the blood of the people of Ming Dynasty, how can Daming recruit him?

  How can the Japanese plague be over soon!

  Historically, Japanese invaders broke out violently and invaded the southeast coast on a large scale, reaching its peak, which was triggered by recruiting security to trap and kill Wang Zhi.

"Since I entered Yingtian, Admiral Caojiang, several bands of Japanese pirates have been expelled along the coast. At that time, there were several sails, several real Japanese on the sails, men with tattoos on their faces, no clothes, banners connected at the end, no sewing, waist Hanging Japanese swords..."

   In the next half an hour, Marquis Linhuai boasted and showed off his achievements again, which made Zhu Pingan suffer from embarrassment.

  It’s just to drive out a few broken wooden boats by warships, but it’s not annihilation. It seems to be commanding a million troops to put down the Japanese pirates?

  However, it’s not bad to be able to drive out a few pirates, at least it’s not a dead body, doing nothing.
