Chapter 1056 Yan Dang: After the father and son get to know each other, Tao Zhenren still has to say thank you!
Qiantang River.

The long motorcade came to the riverside, and the eight-carried sedan chair in the middle fell down, and a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and luxurious robes, showing a pampered style, walked down.

This person is Zhao Wenhua, a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing. When he first studied in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yan Song served as a sacrificial wine, and he decisively recognized Yan Song as his adoptive father.

At that time, Yan Song hadn't been in the eyes of Jiajing, and his promotion was basically in the Nanjing department, and he was groveling to please Xia Yan. Zhao Wenhua's ability to take refuge in Yan Song when he was at a low point was naturally much better than relying on him after entering the cabinet, so In order to be able to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry of Zhengsanpin without any political achievements, he inspected the southeast to prevent the Japanese.

If you think about Hu Zongxian, who was also a Jinshi, suppressed bandits and quelled chaos, and is still a junior official of the seventh rank, you will know how important "My First Assistant and Adoptive Father" is.

Of course, the less you have, the more you yearn for something. As his name suggests, Zhao Wenhua is talented in literature, but lacks political ability. The people patrolling the front line can hardly think of a second possibility other than bad things.

Above the court, everyone is fine, and they know the meaning behind it very well.

Long live Lord was dissatisfied, and urged Zhang Jing to win as soon as possible, even if it could not be done once and for all, at least there would be a brilliant victory, and stop making small troubles.

But those who understand Zhang Jing's temper also know that the strategic layout of the front line is not so easy to change.

When Zhang Jing served as the right servant of the Ministry of War, he was the governor of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi. He made great contributions in suppressing the uprising of the Yao people.

The Jiajing Dynasty was very famous for the northern captives and the southern Japanese. In fact, the chaos was far more than that. The barbarian chieftains in the south resisted a lot. However, the Ming army was so weak that it could not even take down the Mongolian and Japanese thieves at this time. It is still feasible to deal with the chieftains, so Far less famous than the first two scourges.

In these key times of fighting chaos, Zhang Jing fought steadily, matured and prudent, and of course he would not underestimate the enemy and rush forward when he encountered the more difficult Japanese pirates, and let the monarchs and ministers behind who did not know how to fight blindly command.

The core tasks were clarified, and before Zhao Wenhua left, there was some discussion within the Yan Party.

Jiajing has always been involuntary in politics, and this decree was also issued by the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. If you do it right, you will admit it. If you do it wrong, the responsibility will always be lower. When the time comes, Yan Song will bear the brunt.

After all, Zhu Wan, the first anti-Japanese commander, was carried out by the strict party. If the second Zhang Jing is taken down, if the pirates in the southeast really get out of control, then Long Live Lord will definitely fight against them down.

Needless to say, Yan Song finally listened to that genius son, and after closing the door, Mr. Xiao Ge said very directly, before the battle situation is extremely critical, you must follow the wishes of the Long Live Lord, and some things are strict. If not, who will do it?

Zhao Wenhua got the letter, and now he came to the embankment to stand still, with the wind blowing on his face, thinking that he was ordered to grab merit, and after returning, he might be the six ministers, so he couldn't help but feel a surge of enthusiasm.

He was imagining the bright future here, and there was the sound of a sedan chair falling behind him, and soon one was fat, one was thin, one was tall and one was short, and two Taoist priests came over: "Zhao Shilang!"

Zhao Wenhua restrained his smile, cupped his hands and said, "Guo Gaoshi! Wang Gaoshi! For the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea, I will entrust two experts!"

Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning are disciples of Tao Zhongwen, the heavenly master of the sky. They were conferred the title of "Great Scholars" and they usually go to the mansions of dignitaries.

Except that Yan Song had a hard time trying alchemy, I sincerely hope that under the teaching of Tao Zhongwen, Jiajing Bie Lao will practice alchemy with confidence.

Just say hello at this time, and it's over, just go through the motions, without interfering with each other.

For the follow-up work, Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning will stay on the banks of the Qiantang River to prepare the specific procedures for the ceremony, while Zhao Wenhua will get back into the sedan chair and head towards the city of Hangzhou.

Arriving at the mansion that had already been prepared, and entering the hall, seven or eight maidservants came forward and beat their backs and rubbed their legs, surrounded by the fragrant wind, this godson who was used to enjoying the blessings heaved a sigh of relief, and said casually: "Go and see the greeting card! "

The butler took the order and began to count the greeting posts. The focus was naturally on the gift list that was presented along with the post.

If you want to pay a visit to the strict party, if you don't present a long list of gifts, you will be liquidated. This is the consensus of the government and the opposition.

Zhao Wenhua was quite satisfied with the gifts presented by the well-informed local wealthy gentry, but after listening to it again, he wondered, "There is no greeting card from Hu Zongxian?"

The butler ordered it again, and said in a low voice, "No."

Zhao Wenhua's complexion sank: "I'm really ignorant!"

His first assistant and adoptive father had already praised him, how could this low-ranking official who had meritorious service but no promotion be flattered?
The strict party also valued capable officials, Hu Zongxian was just one of them, and his importance was inconspicuous. If it weren't for this visit to the southeast, and Zhejiang is the front line of anti-corruption, he wouldn't bother to pay attention.

I didn't expect that with such a sky-reaching ladder in front of me, there are still people who dare to neglect it, I don't know what it means!
Zhao Wenhua sentenced Hu Zongxian's official career to death, and asked: "Hanzhang, is there any major event here recently?"

This is not about the housekeeper accompanying him, but an aide who has defected to the Yan Party not long ago. His name is Luo Longwen, and his characters contain chapters.

This person was originally an expert in ink making, with a rich family, and he relied on the strict party for nothing, and he really won the favor of Yan Shifan, so he accompanied him this time.

Luo Longben is from Anhui. He came to Hangzhou earlier to buy a mansion and find out the news. At this time, he turned his eyes and said, "I will tell the servant that there was a big event in Hangzhou a few days ago. He handed over fifty Tao Yin, who had the head of a real Japanese, killed another hundred real Japanese and handed them over to the county government, causing a sensation."

Zhao Wenhua was startled for a moment, then realized: "According to this, his reward alone is [-] taels?"

As a wealthy businessman, Luo Longwen was jealous of the speed at which he made money, and deliberately said: "It's really a sudden fortune!"

Zhao Wenhua suddenly felt that the maid beside him was not good, so he raised his head, straightened up suddenly, and pointed at the invitation card: "Hurry up, has this person come to visit me?"

Good guy, since he failed to make money elsewhere, the amount of embezzlement so far is less than [-]. In just a few months, he got [-] taels of silver from his head... Is there any reason?Is there any other law?Do you have any invitations?
After counting, the housekeeper shook his head, and Luo Longwen said: "Master, this Tao Yin lives in seclusion and never gets involved with others."

Zhao Wenhua grumbled, and glared at him viciously: "Then what are you talking nonsense about?"

Don't let me know about this. Thirty thousand taels of wasted money was taken by a pariah with no background, and I still can't get a share of it. How uncomfortable is it?
However, Luo Longwen had already prepared: "Master, this person may be a stranger from the people, we should ask two senior scholars to come forward and examine this person's background to see if he is suspected of being a piracy!"

Zhao Wenhua's eyes lit up: "Good idea! You go now, review it quickly, and don't let him run away!"

Due to the great prosperity of Taoism, strange people and even Buddhist monks are now under the jurisdiction of Taoism. This matter can indeed be entrusted to Tao Zhongwen's two apprentices.

Luo Longwen took the order to go, and returned after several hours, but his expression was a little strange, and he came to the front and said: "Minister, this Tao Yixia may have a strange identity."

Zhao Wenhua asked: "How to say?"

Luo Longwen said: "When I mentioned this person, Guo Gaoshi's face suddenly changed. Wang Gaoshi made it clear that this person has absolutely nothing to do with them, and asked me not to bother me any more, so as not to hinder the sea sacrifice ceremony."

Zhao Wenhua raised his brows: "This is really interesting... That man is also surnamed Tao, and he has the ability to kill real Japanese. Is he a distant relative of the Tao family? Was there a suspicion? But if it really belongs to the Tao family, he shouldn't be like this Are you ignorant?"

The national treasury was empty, and Jiajing pinched his nose to increase the reward, in order to boost the morale of the lower class, but he was frantically plundered. If the Tao family really did it, the celestial masters would have to suffer.

Luo Longwen was originally jealous of the fame and fortune of this anti-Japanese hero, and wanted the greedy Zhao Wenhua to follow him, but he didn't expect this development. He is not the core figure of the strict party now, and he doesn't dare to make extravagant problems. silence.

However, Zhao Wenhua didn't give up so easily, and said: "Since this person is not clear with Tao, it would be easier to send someone to his house directly. I need an explanation to inspect the southeast anti-corruption matters. Otherwise, don’t expect to get a piece of reward silver from the government!”

……

three days later.

Zhao Wenhua and Luo Longwen turned their backs to the left and right, looked at the bottle of five poison elixir on the table, fell into deep thought, and did not say a word for a long time.

This is what Tao Yin said.

Wudu Dan.

After a long silence, it was Zhao Wenhua who spoke first: "Hanzhang, how sure do you think this matter is?"

Luo Longwen frowned: "Master, poisoning the Japanese pirates is not unusual for fighting, and he will be reprimanded! That Tao Yin is a private person, not an official, and he didn't say clearly that he killed the Japanese pirates by poisoning, but he gave the pill. Think twice!"

Of course Zhao Wenhua knew the stakes, but he couldn't resist the huge temptation: "Long Live Lord wants a big victory. If we can really wipe out the Japanese pirates, we will have no worries in the future, let alone the verification of all parties. When the time comes, the head will die. Cut the corpse into the sea, who knows how the Japanese pirates died? The key is whether this can be done?"

Luo Longwen said softly: "Tao Yin is indeed a capable man, according to my subordinates, he is [-] to [-]% sure."

Zhao Wenhua grinned and said: "Then why don't you give it a try? If it succeeds, Zhang Jing will be compared to us. Your Majesty is very happy, and the adoptive father is even more radiant. If it fails, we will still follow the original plan!" "

Luo Longwen felt that no matter whether he succeeded or not, it would be unrealistic to grab credit according to the original plan, but seeing Zhao Wenhua's excited appearance, he knew he couldn't persuade him: "Then Tao Yin's request?"

Zhao Wenhua said with a smile: "Isn't he an illegitimate child? You can't enter the wall, but you have no choice but to kill Japanese pirates to gain fame. After you take the silver, you have to donate it to the Lord Long Live. That's sensible... to satisfy his wish, to publicize it, and so on. Father and son recognize each other, Tao Zhenren still needs to thank us!"
