In February, the three-year spring examination was held as scheduled.

This should have been the most important thing in the court today, but it has less attention because of the rampant Japanese pirates in Zhejiang.

After the weather warmed up, the number of pirates in the southeast coastal areas suddenly increased, making officials in Southern Zhili and Zhejiang Province anxious.

With the attitude of suppressing things, I originally wanted to hide them from them, but the group of Japanese pirates became more and more rampant.

After a Nanjing Jinyiwei commander died, things could not be suppressed.

After the incident reached Beijing, the court was furious!

The commander of the Jinyiwei in Nanjing was killed!

Feng Kun seemed to have grown ten years old overnight, and the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei was his eldest son!

The moment Eunuch Yin said this, it aroused the emperor's headache.

The emperor fainted and urgently ordered the prince's princess Meng to enter the palace to treat the emperor's illness.

The emperor lay in bed for three days, and even the palace examination was postponed due to the emperor's condition. Later, Feng Kun was fined a year's salary on the grounds that he was not strict with his subordinates.

Feng Kun is not unfair about this matter. Such a big thing has developed so much that it cannot be suppressed. The Jinyiwei Commander's Office in Beijing received news that this was a serious dereliction of duty as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei.

Feng Kun even lost his energy because of his eldest son's death. He told the emperor that he wanted to transfer his youngest son Feng Jin back to Beijing, and then he fell asleep at home.

The emperor handed over the matter of going to Jiangnan to assist Dali Temple and the Ministry of War to the East Factory.

In Dali Temple, the task of going to Nanzhili to Zhejiang Province naturally fell to Jiang Yuan's tide.

The legitimate son was just born. Song Yuxi held Jiang Yuanchao's legs despite her newly born body and begged him not to go.

"Husband! You can't go, you can't go, don't go, okay, I beg you!"

"Yuxi, the emperor's order is hard to violate." Jiang Yuanchao helped her up, pulled her to sit on the chair, and explained in a gentle tone: "I know this time it must be extremely dangerous, but I can't..."

"What responsibilities are you? What responsibilities do you have?" Song Yuxi interrupted him: "Your Majesty used to put Jiangnan in silence, that was his fault! Why should you use your life to fill the hole he poked out?"

"Yuxi!"

"What are you fierce? You just think that as long as you are careful, there will be no problem. But have you ever thought about how vicious and courageous those people are? Jiang Yuanchao, don't talk to me about those who have nothing! Are you going with the determination to go but not return?"

Jiang Yuanchao was stunned. Just when the couple was in a stalemate, the eldest princess suddenly pushed the door and shouted: "Daughter-in-law is right! Yuanchao, you can't go!"

"Mother!" Jiang Yuanchao stood up in anger.

The eldest princess snorted and sat down and said, "They dare to kill Feng Kun's eldest son, even the eldest princess' son, so what? No matter how heavy your weight is, you can be more important than Master Feng? No matter how many people you have, you can be more powerful than the Jinyiwei? Let me tell you, Jiang Yuanchao, don't say that you are just your Majesty's nephew, even if the prince goes, they will still dare to kill!"

Yuxi said, "If you want to go, let's separate! I will never be a widow for you! A man like you who ignores your wife and children is not worthy of my guard for you!"

The eldest princess glared at Song Yuxi at first, but finally agreed: "The second wife is right. If you want to go, please bookmark Yijue first! I will live with my wife and grandson. Anyway, your son doesn't want me, my old mother anymore!"

My mother has always looked down on Song Yuxi, who was born to a concubine. Song Yuxi has always been disrespectful to this mother-in-law who looked down on her. At this moment, the two women suddenly joined forces!

Jiang Yuanchao looked at him and suddenly joined forces to squeeze out his mother and wife, feeling like the sun rose from the west.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion suddenly came to report that it was Mr. Jiang who invited the Second Master to speak to the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiang Yuanchao had no choice but to get up and go to his father's place to listen to the training.

Unexpectedly, my father didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and just said: "You resign."

"father!"

"Yuanchao, listen well, the muddy waters in Jiangnan cannot be flowing. You should resign! It is great to spend time with your wife at home. The resignation report has been handed over to you. You are Your Majesty's nephew. No matter how unhappy he is, he will not do anything to you."

Jiang Yuanchao knew that there was no room for a turnaround in this matter. He hung his head, feeling that all his efforts in the first half of his life seemed to have been denied by the people around him, and his whole body seemed to have been taken away from his spirit.

Because he wanted to investigate the matter in Jiangnan, the Minister of War was sick, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple even resigned directly. Only then did the emperor suddenly realize that the matter had become so serious?

He could not take the Minister of War, nor could he take the nephew's account. After much consideration, he finally handed over the task of commanding the navy to attack the Japanese pirates to the most experienced third king Su.

But the emperor also acted foolishly and did not ask King Su to go to Fujian to take the navy he had originally trained, but instead asked him to run to Zhejiang as a commander to lead the troops. The original general of Zhejiang, Chen Yuliang, the prince of the Duke of Jing, was transferred to Fujian by the emperor to assist the ninth prince, King Yu, who had zero practical experience, to command the Nanyang Navy.

Everyone felt that the emperor was confused.

Too nonsense!

It's so nonsense!

To this day, Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast of Zhejiang. This is a serious dereliction of duty by General Chen Yuliang. However, the emperor was not willing to punish Chen Yuliang, but also wanted to send the ninth prince, King Yu, who had not been on the battlefield for a day, to Fujian.

When King Su received the will, he became quiet abnormally.

He didn't scold a word or complain a word, locked himself in the study and sat for two hours.

The old man is old. His emperor father has been wise and powerful all his life. When he is about to leave, he uses a stupid move and is out.

Just for his throne to be stable, and at this time, we have to continue to play with his balance.

In order to balance the court, I don’t know how many lives it will be killed.

It’s not that the Japanese pirates want to die, it’s that the navy he has worked hard to train!

In recent years, Zhejiang has become the wallet of Duke Jingguo, Concubine Chen and Prince Yu. What exactly are they doing there? King Su is not sure about the people he originally placed in the south in recent years were transferred, and the losses were lost.

Just looking at the extremely ugly tax accounts paid in Zhejiang over the years, you can tell how dirty they are there.

In order to balance the power of the Su Palace and the Jing Palace, the emperor turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Duke of Jing Palace. The cabinet knew the emperor's thoughts well, and even Song Jianming dared not mention it.

With the increase in Lingnan's income, even if Zhejiang collects less taxes, the total account of the treasury's income is not ugly. As the Minister of Revenue, he can pay for the job, so he is unwilling to talk too much about it.

Therefore, in the emperor's intentional indulgence and the collective silence of the cabinet, Zhejiang was like an inflamed pustule, getting bigger and bigger. Until the epidermis was rotten, the emperor thought about dealing with it.

Now the emperor put King Su in Zhejiang, so he wanted King Su to make a knife to cut the pussy. The Duke of Jingguo, Concubine Chen, King Yu, and the people in the Zhejiang officialdom could not tolerate him?

How could he have a life if he leaves?

By the same token, King Su smuggled foreign goods, sold private salt, recruited private soldiers, made firearms, and even incorporated seven major pirate ship gangs in the South China Sea area of ​​Guangdong. Over the past 20 years, the huge investment of nearly 30 million taels of silver has made the current scale of the navy in Fujian and Guangdong that is large enough to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire.

If the emperor knew about these things, the entire Su Palace would not escape the end of being demoted to a commoner's high walls and even banned or even scattered his family.

King Su would also not allow King Yu and Chen Yuliang to go to Fujian to disrupt his plan.

Before King Yu and Chen Yuliang arrived in Fujian, he had to take action to get rid of it quickly.

The emperor wants him and his ninth brother to suffer both defeat!

Not only that, once King Su and King Yu both left the capital, the fourth prince Jing and the deposed prince elder brother were left in the capital. Concubine Hui and his son were benefactors from the queen in their early years. The fourth boy was honest and always regarded the eldest brother as orthodox. The old man wanted to do something while they were not there?

How could King Su and King Yu make an old man who is so sick that he can't get out of bed so easily?

King Su has always been a rogue. He fell ill the next day after the imperial edict was issued. He also wrote a letter of apologies to his father with a passionate apology and strongly recommended his capable fourth brother to go to Zhejiang for him.

The emperor was so angry that the corners of his mouth were bubbled. He immediately asked Concubine Shu to scold him, scolding him for being unfilial.

The hat of unfilial piety in this era cannot be deducted at will. The word filial piety is directly linked to loyalty.

Unfilial piety means disloyalty.

This is a big handle.

However, King Su was unmoved and waved his hand and smashed tens of thousands of taels of silver to help the victims of the capital through this severe winter.

He has long since stopped caring about whether he is filial or not.

A father is kind and a son is filial. A father is kind and a son is filial!

Since Li Zhao had an accident in Shandong, King Su has no desire to play the role of a duck with a neck shrink.

The old man said in person that he was unfilial and spread the story, which was known to everyone in the court. This was already a breakup. Since his father allowed his nephew Li Sheng to go to Shandong to kill his precious son, he and the emperor were just monarchs and ministers, not fathers and sons!

How can there be a grandfather in the world who ignores his grandson's life or death?

How can there be a father in the world who tries every means to kill his son?

The old man wiped out the father-son relationship between him and King Su with his own hands. Why should he, Li Yan, show mercy to the emperor?

The emperor ordered King Su to be imprisoned in the clan mansion again, and people were prohibited from accompanying and serving.

King Su didn't care. He just circled the ban, he was afraid of a bird! If he had the ability, he would cut him directly. What's the use of circled the ban alone? He could circle him alone, but he could circle the 200,000 navy masters in the south?

When King Yu saw that the fourth brother's trick was very useful, he became ill even if he followed suit.

Facing two uncontrollable sons, the old emperor felt an unprecedented sense of out-of-control. He was irritable, angry, and afraid, but found that he was unable to control the situation.

He even wanted to issue an edict without hesitation to regain his eldest son as the crown prince, but he knew that if most of the officials in the court were dissatisfied, even if he issued an edict, it would be useless.

He didn't even dare to issue an edict immediately to kill the two sons.

God knows how many chips they have in their hands. If they are too anxious and join forces to start a mutiny, the emperor will be afraid.

The emperor is a lonely man after all. Only when someone listens to him will he give the orders he gives; if no one obeys him, he will be just a poor old man who is about to die of illness.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yin suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, you are too impatient! The most urgent thing is to raise the dragon body and restore health to have more time to make plans for a long time!"

Eunuch Yin is worthy of being the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and in one sentence he pulled the emperor who was extremely anxious out of his horns.

He seemed to wake up suddenly. He wanted to restore the eldest son to the crown prince. What he lacked was not means, power, status, but time!

The third brother and the ninth brother, they just want to endure him to death!

Wouldn't he continue to be sick like this?

After March, except for the first day of the lunar month, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the emperor no longer attended court, but only occasionally summoned court officials in the Yangxin Hall, and all matters were thrown to the cabinet for handling.
To be continued...
