I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 151 Roll Up
After Xu Jie was reprimanded by Jiajing, he felt terrified. After he was off duty that day, he hastily summoned everyone to Prince Yu's Mansion for a meeting.

The atmosphere in the study was extremely dull, Xu Jie just sat on the chair and sighed, and had no intention of speaking, Gao Gong beside him was frowning, not knowing what he was thinking, while Zhang Juzheng was sipping tea by himself.

Only Yu Wang Zhu Zaixi was left looking at everyone with a worried face.

"Why don't you say a word?"

In the end, it was Zhu Zaiku who spoke first, breaking the suffocating silence.

"Oh, Your Highness, His Majesty is using the strict party more and more now, and we have nothing to do!"

Xu Jie followed closely with a sigh, and said.

"I see, His Majesty is not emphasizing the strict party, but Hu Zongxian!"

Gao Gong glanced at Xu Jie, and then said.

"Oh, how do you see it?"

King Yu Zhu Zaiqian couldn't help becoming interested when he heard what Gao Gong said.

"Since Hu Zongxian served as the governor of Zhejiang Province, it can be said that he has played a vital role in the situation of suppressing Japanese along the southeast coast!"

"The generals appointed by Hu Zongxian, such as Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, etc., are all good generals who are good at training and commanding elite soldiers. Time will wipe out most of the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang."

"Not only that, but also led the army to wipe out the rebellion caused by Japanese pirates in Fujian and other places, captured the leader of Japanese pirates Wang Zhi, and seized 300 million taels of silver for the court!"

As Gao Gong spoke, he paused for a moment, and continued: "May I ask, with such a capable and loyal subordinate, will you reuse him?"

At this time, Zhang Juzheng on the side was also inspired by Gao Gong's words, and said: "We have been caught in a misunderstanding all along, that is, although Hu Zongxian is Yan Song's student, we classify him as a strict party without authorization! It's totally inappropriate."

"As far as I know, under the rule of Hu Zongxian, the life of the people in Zhejiang is quite good, even much better than the places governed by our people. If you have to classify Hu Zongxian, then he is only loyal to one person. That is His Majesty."

"In other words, Hu Zongxian is a well-deserved member of the "Emperor Party"!"

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he poured himself another cup of hot tea.

After listening to the analysis of the two, Xu Jie gradually got some eyebrows, with joy on his face: "I understand, if we want to regain His Majesty's favor, we have to make some real achievements, instead of doing things all day long. Let’s fight against dissidents here! If this happens, it will only arouse His Majesty’s disgust.”

"But what should we do? There is Hu Zongxian on the side of the strict party, but we don't seem to have any big officials in power here..."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he frowned and kept thinking about the suitable candidate in his mind.

"Who said no? Don't we have a Fujian governor, Tan Lun?"

Zhang Juzheng on the side couldn't help but reminded.

"That's right, why did I forget about Tan Lun!"

Xu Jie slapped his head violently, as if belatedly aware of it.

"But right now, there are no Japanese pirates in Fujian that can be suppressed. Even the pirates along the southeast coast are almost wiped out by Hu Zongxian!"

As Xu Jie spoke, he began to frown again.

"Although the Japanese pirates have almost been wiped out by Hu Zongxian, the number of local bandits in Fujian has not decreased. We can seize this opportunity and find another way to wipe out all the bandits in Fujian Province!"

"Not only that, but to clean up unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, reduce taxes, and lighten the burden on the people, isn't this also a real political achievement?"

Zhang Juzheng turned his gaze to Xu Jie, and then put forward his own idea.

"That's right, Hu Zongxian suppressed the Japanese, so let's suppress the bandits! Anyway, those bandits are doing all kinds of bad things, why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of them."

"Let's use their humble lives to contribute to our cause! When the strict party is defeated and the people are in power, our Ming Dynasty will surely prosper again!"

After listening to Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, Xu Jie praised it quite a bit, and there was a ray of hope in his eyes.

"Well, this matter is settled! When I go back later, I will write to Tan Lun personally to tell him everything." Seeing that the matter was finalized, Xu Jie's tone was full of excitement.

"But Mr. Xu Ge, according to reports from our subordinates, since Tan Lun took office as the governor of Fujian, he has cut off contact with us. Do you think..."

Gao Gong hesitated and put forward his own idea.

"No, no one knows Tan Lun better than me! He is definitely not such a person, maybe because he just took office, he needs to take extra care of his feathers."

Xu Jie shook his head, and resolutely rejected Gao Gong's idea.

"Well, I also think Tan Lun is not such a person."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Juzheng on the side also nodded and began to speak for Tan Lun.

"Since both of you said that, I should be worrying too much."

Seeing Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng's promises, Gao Gong also began to doubt whether his guess was correct.

"For subordinates like Tan Lun, we should have more trust!"

Xu Jie glanced at Gao Gong with a look of reproach on his face.

……

Capital, Yan Mansion.

Since Xu Jie was reprimanded by His Majesty during the day, as soon as he returned home, Yan Song called Yan Shifan into the house and began to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Father, right now Xu Jie is being reprimanded by His Majesty, and His Majesty doesn't like it."

"At this time, it's our chance! Do you think we should take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all these Qingliu?"

As Yan Shifan said, his face was full of excitement.

"No, although Xu Jie is disliked by His Majesty right now, his strength cannot be underestimated! Besides, even if Your Majesty doesn't like Xu Jie, he won't just watch us defeat Qingliu."

After listening to his son Yan Shifan's thoughts, Yan Song shook his head and said slowly.

"So, father, what should we do now?"

Seeing that his suggestion was not adopted by Yan Song, Yan Shifan asked Yan Song again for the next countermeasure.

But Yan Song didn't answer immediately, but said with emotion: "I, Yan Song, have accepted a good student!"

"What does father mean?"

Seeing this, Yan Shifan's face was full of puzzlement.

"Do you think His Majesty is reusing us? In fact, His Majesty is reusing Hu Zongxian!"

"Hu Zongxian has repeatedly exterminated the Japanese pirates and made great contributions to the court! Before this, the situation in the southeast coast was supported by him alone. Now that the Japanese pirates have subsided for the most part, His Majesty will naturally reward him heavily, even for me. The teacher's is nothing but the glory of his own students!"

Yan Song glanced at his son, and then explained to him.

"However, Hu Zongxian is your student. If His Majesty uses Hu Zongxian so much, it doesn't mean that he is..."

"Oh, father, I see!"

After pondering for a moment, Yan Shifan quickly figured out the key point.

"Well, it seems that you are not too stupid!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then father, what do you mean, we should strongly support Hu Zongxian in the future?"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Shifan put forward his own conjecture.

"Well, yes, not only that! We have to do a good job in changing rice to mulberry next, and let His Majesty see our ability to do things."

"The more efficient our side is, the more incompetent Qingliu's side will appear! Your Majesty will also favor us."

"Sometimes, you don't need to have a strong ability, you just need to be a little bit stronger than your opponent."

After Yan Song paused for a moment, he exhorted Yan Shifan.

"Father, I understand!"

After listening to his father Yan Song's words, Yan Shifan said excitedly with his eyes shining brightly.

"Before that, I wrote a letter to Hu Zongxian myself! Counting the days, it's almost here."

After Yan Song finished speaking, he turned his gaze out of the window, but at some point, a full moon quietly rose in the sky.
