Chapter 104: Inserting Artemisia Arrows All Over the Waist, Not Afraid of Fierce Tigers Bullying Yellow Calves

Zhu Zhu Yijun led a group of court officials to the Zhao Wenhua Hall to prepare for the court discussion. Although the Grand Morning Court was delayed by the meeting with the barbarian envoys, Zhu Zhu Yijun scolded people quickly and ended on time.

The Minister of Rites, Wan Wan Shihe, stepped out and bowed, "Your Majesty met with foreign envoys, with curved eyebrows and full cheeks, clear voice and convenient body, voice like a bell, beautiful outside and wise inside, talented people full before, speaking of ancient and modern and praising great virtue, wisdom and meaning reached, awe-inspiring like an adult, just as the saying goes: 'Inserting artemisia arrows all over the waist, not afraid of fierce tigers bullying yellow calves.' I congratulate the Great Ming, I congratulate Your Majesty."

"We congratulate the Great Ming, we congratulate Your Majesty."

Inserting short arrows made of artemisia all over the waist, no longer afraid of fierce tigers coming to bite the calves—this comes from the "Herdsman's Song" by Li She of the Tang Dynasty. What Wan Wan Shihe wanted to express was that the Emperor spoke and acted as if he had short arrows all over his waist, handling things with proper measure.

Zhu Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Less of this kind of flattery in the future. Let's have the court discussion; I also want to read."

The Little Emperor of the Great Ming did not take the flattery of his ministers to heart, no matter whose flattery it was.

Yang Bo had already told Zhu Zhu Yijun with his own body that if you indulge in flowers and applause, you will become arrogant and completely lose yourself.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng took out the first petition and said with great emotion, "After Yang Taizai returned to his hometown, his health has been getting worse day by day, going downhill. Yesterday, the post reported that he could no longer walk, and I am afraid he does not have much time left."

This winter, Yang Bo was afraid he wouldn't make it. Yang Bo had been ill for many years due to overwork. The Imperial Hospital had seen him, and his condition was beyond recovery.

Ge Ge Shouli trembled when he heard this news, feeling a bit trance-like. This was not the content of the court discussion, just an advance notification, so that the Ministry of Rites could prepare the posthumous title for Yang Bo.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng took out the second petition, stood up, walked to the world map screen, and pointed, "Guangzhou urgent report: In the twelfth month of last year, Japanese pirates captured the Tonggu and Shuangyu stations in Guangdong. After the Japanese occupied Shuangyu, the Viceroy Yin Yin Zhengmao supervised the Regional Commander Zhang Zhang Yuanxun, the Vice Envoy Zhao Kehuai went from Xinhui, the Ling Xi Administration Commissioner Liu Zhiyi, and the Assistant Commissioner Shi Pan went from Zhaoqing, cooperating with the Yangjiang Assistant Regional Commander Liang Liang Shouyu to suppress them."

"The Japanese were defeated and fled to Rudong. Zhang Yuanxun and others blocked the road and attacked from both sides. They fought for the first time at Lanshui, and again at Shucun, beheading more than nine hundred enemies and taking back more than a thousand abducted men and women. In this battle, the Platoon Leader Ge Tong Ziming, Squad Leader Ge Wenguang, Gao Jinlong, and seven others died in battle."

An extremely terrifying battle loss ratio, seven to nine hundred.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng looked at the petition and said, "Yin Yin Zhengmao submitted a petition, saying that a Sea Defense Vice Prefect should be set up in Yangjiang to strengthen sea defense, and requested to build a Loyal and Brave Shrine in the Princess Taiping City of Zhizhu to commemorate the anti-Japanese heroes such as Lou Long, Ge Tong Ziming, and Gao Jinlong."

"It is reasonable and appropriate." Tan Lun expressed approval for this matter. What has not been recognized by the imperial court is "licentious sacrifice," and what has been recognized by the imperial court is "official sacrifice." From the battle results and the battle loss ratio, one could see that this was an annihilation battle, and all nine hundred Japanese pirates were executed.

The most tacit understanding between Yin Yin Zhengmao and the imperial court was that Yin Yin Zhengmao did not play the game of "raising bandits to respect himself." If he said he was suppressing Japanese pirates, he was really killing Japanese pirates. If he killed them cleanly, the imperial court would not pursue his corruption too much.

"Post report!" A Night Scout ran in hurriedly, bowed, and said, "Guangzhou urgent report!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander Zhu Zhu Xixiao handed the post report to Zhang Hong, and Zhang Hong presented it to the imperial desk urgently. Everyone turned their eyes to the Little Emperor on the moon terrace. What happened in Guangzhou again?

Zhu Zhu Yijun opened it and looked at it roughly, then smiled and said, "Victory report."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a victory report, so it was fine.

Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at the post report seriously, handed it to Zhang Hong to pass down for court discussion, and smiled, "Our Viceroy of Liangguang, Yin Yin Zhengmao, personally led the official army to suppress more than a thousand Japanese pirates in Guangzhou Dianbai Port, rescued sixty-one abducted people, and captured various weapons, gold, and silver."

The post report circulated to the court discussion table. Zhang Zhang Juzheng finished reading it and handed it to the Tan Sima Tan Lun, Tan Lun finished reading it and handed it to the Grand General Qi Qi Jiguang, and then the court officials looked at the post report one by one.

"Amazing." Even Qi Qi Jiguang had to admire Yin Yin Zhengmao. A civil service scholar who spent all day leading troops to charge and fight, it was really a bit out of style, but Yin Yin Zhengmao could really kill Japanese pirates.

After being identified by the local gentry in the far south, these two consecutive great victories, totaling 1,900 heads, were indeed composed of Japanese, red-haired barbarians, black barbarians, and Great Ming desperate people, not killing the innocent to claim credit.

The local gentry in the far south also gritted their teeth at the Japanese pirates who had occupied the far south for a long time and suffered deeply, and they were all wiped out by Yin Yin Zhengmao.

Attached to the post report was a joint congratulatory table from the local gentry. This congratulatory table was very interesting. The first half of the congratulatory table praised Yin Yin Zhengmao's achievements in suppressing Japanese pirates, while the second half launched a verbal attack on Yin Yin Zhengmao's behavior of running rampant in the far south, being extremely corrupt, and harming the gentry!

Yin Yin Zhengmao was also big-hearted, and he actually sent the congratulatory table back to the capital like this.

The gentry probably meant that Yin Yin Zhengmao was indeed able to suppress Japanese pirates, but imperial court, please manage him! He suppressed Japanese pirates twice and asked for 120,000 taels of silver as military expenses! Yin Yin Zhengmao himself embezzled at least 30,000 taels of silver!

Wan Wan Shihe finished reading the post report and the congratulatory table, thought for a long time, and then said, "We should reward his achievements, but Yin Viceroy's corruption should still be strictly prohibited. Look at what he did. He refused to donate, so he went to the door to force it, and even tore down the courtyard wall of the Lin family in Guangzhou Dianbai!"

"It is simply insulting to the scholars! He is still a civil service scholar, how can he do such a thing?"

A total of 120,000 taels of military expenses, the Lin family in Guangzhou Dianbai refused to donate, Yin Yin Zhengmao took people directly to the past, tore down the gate and courtyard wall completely, forced the Lin family to donate, and finally got 2,000 taels of silver and left!

The Lin family in Guangzhou Dianbai complained, it was miserable, and the gate was even taken away by Yin Yin Zhengmao!

Tan Lun was really a bit unable to hold back and laughed out loud. He shook his head and said, "Back then in Zhejiang and Fujian suppressing Japanese pirates, I wanted to do this. The soldiers were sometimes hungry while suppressing Japanese pirates, but the powerful families were drunk and dreaming of death. I hated it, I hated that the steel knife in my hand could only be aimed at the Japanese pirates."

"Hu Gong repeatedly asked for donations, but these powerful families refused to donate, and Hu Gong always didn't let us force them too much, fearing the public opinion in the court, and turned around in a hundred ways."

"Interesting."

Qi Qi Jiguang also remembered the past, revealing a knowing smile. During that time, Qi Qi Jiguang, Yu Yu Dayou, and others were always begging for help everywhere because of a few taels of silver. If they couldn't get silver, they could get some food, which was not considered a loss.

There was no one in the court, and even suppressing Japanese pirates had to be a big deal.

Yin Yin Zhengmao relied on his backer being the current Grand Secretary, and he had no taboos in doing things. He even did the thing of tearing down people's courtyard walls, and even took the gate away!

Tan Lun and Qi Qi Jiguang could only envy. If it were them, they couldn't do it.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng looked at the post report for a long time before saying, "Lin Lin Afeng defeated the sea pirate Lin Lin Daoqian and occupied the Nanao Island as a stronghold. He has been in a stalemate with the Great Ming official army. Last year, he wrote several times, requesting peace and the imperial court's pacification. The Viceroy of Liangguang, Yin Yin Zhengmao, submitted a petition about this, asking whether to recruit and pacify."

"Lin Lin Afeng occupies Nanao, with a total of 62 ships and more than 5,500 men. This time, Yin Yin Zhengmao's two total annihilations of Japanese pirates have something to do with this Lin Lin Afeng. The Japanese pirates who invaded the Tonggu and Shuangyu stations were blocked by Lin Lin Afeng; and the situation of the barbarians invading Guangzhou Dianbai Port was also provided by Lin Lin Afeng."

Ge Ge Shouli did not agree and said, "Recruit and pacify? Now you know you are afraid? When you were harming one side, why didn't you think about today?"

Hence Hai Rui thought for a while and said, "When I was in Qiongzhou, I often heard about Lin Lin Afeng's character. Lin Lin Afeng is the adopted son of the sea gang veteran Tai Tai Laoweng, and later inherited Tai Tai Laoweng's foundation. His main business is looting red-haired barbarian merchant ships, and he is really not invading the Great Ming."

"Of course, in my personal judgment, he can't beat them, not that he doesn't want to invade, it's that he doesn't have that strength."

"In the early sixth year of Emperor Longqing, Wei Wei Yinbao and Huang Huang Chaomeng held a sea hero meeting to conspire for major events. Coerced by the sea gang veterans, Lin Lin Afeng attacked the ports along the coast of Guangdong and was beaten up by Yin Yin Zhengmao. He lost troops and generals. At that time, Lin Lin Afeng had more than 300 ships and 40,000 men, and was defeated one by one by the current Songjiang Vice Regional Commander Chen Lin, leaving only 62 ships and 5,500 people."

The imperial court received a victory report, which only contained the deployment and movements of the Great Ming, and how many Japanese nests were destroyed. In fact, it was not comprehensive. When Hence Hai Rui was in Qiongzhou, he heard more comprehensively.

Lin Lin Afeng was young after all. After the old leader Tai Tai Laoweng died, Lin Lin Afeng became the leader, and the sea gang was not monolithic. With more than 40,000 people, it was also full of factions.

Lin Lin Afeng did not advocate invasion, but the veterans slapped their thighs and said, "We have been mixed for so many years, spent so much money, raised so many people, and someone joined forces to attack. We have to help the scene."

When Li Qian presided over the situation in the far south, the weak official army gave the sea gang some illusions, thinking that the imperial court was weak and could be bullied, and finally attacked.

Try it and you will die. Can this scene be helped?

Lin Lin Afeng went from 300 ships to 40,000 people, and in just over a month, it was directly reduced to 62 ships and 5,500 people.

Tan Lun analyzed comprehensively and smiled, "Lin Lin Afeng has been beaten into submission. He is now one of the sea pirates harming the far south."

The Minister of Rites, Wan Wan Shihe, thought about it again and again and said, "Our dynasty has no precedent for recruitment and pacification. If we recruit and pacify, wouldn't we be learning from the old affairs of the two Songs, the more we recruit, the more chaotic it becomes? It is better to exterminate."

"If you want to be rich, stay in the wine and vinegar shop. If you want to be an official, kill and set fire and accept recruitment. If you recruit and pacify Lin Lin Afeng, once this precedent is opened, there will be endless troubles."

The Great Ming Dynasty suppresses rebellions by combining suppression and pacification, but it is mainly suppression, and pacification is secondary. Only after people are completely beaten into submission can they be recruited and pacified, and then they will not cause trouble. Wan Wan Shihe stood in the position of the imperial court and analyzed the request for recruitment and pacification, giving the Ministry of Rites' opinion.

"It's not that we can't win, why recruit and pacify? When the imperial court is weak, they invade; when the imperial court is strong, they are submissive. Requesting recruitment and pacification, how can there be such a reason." Ge Ge Shouli still insisted on extermination. 5,000 people were still too many. Another round of extermination, and they would be scattered.

Hence Hai Rui pondered for a while and said, "What Ge Hai Zongxian said is not unreasonable."

Yin Yin Zhengmao had already fought to this point, and the bandits in Liangguang were gradually pacified. This was the last bit. Extermination is fine. After being beaten painfully, do you know how to repent? After entering the coffin, do you know you shouldn't? Where is the majesty and law of the imperial court?

The nine ministers in the court almost overwhelmingly supported extermination. Another round of extermination, Lin Lin Afeng dies, and the remaining people can be resettled.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng held the petition and said, "Lin Lin Afeng plans to run. Liu Liu Zhizhi he can't beat them, and his old nest has been explored by Yin Yin Zhengmao, Lin Lin Afeng plans to go to Luzon to avoid the official army's advance."

"If the imperial court is willing to recruit and pacify him, he plans to go to Luzon to defeat the Great Frangis people to seek a breathing space. If it doesn't work, then the imperial court doesn't need to exterminate him. If the imperial court is not willing to recruit and pacify him, he begs Yin Gong not to join forces with the Great Frangis people to kill him together."

Luzon was destroyed by the Great Frangis people. The news reached the Great Ming. Lin Lin Afeng was under too much pressure from Yin Yin Zhengmao. Lin Lin Afeng planned to run away, run to Luzon, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, only begging Yin Yin Zhengmao to let him live and not chase him to Luzon.

"What do you think?" Zhang Zhang Juzheng finished Lin Lin Afeng's conditions, and the Zhao Wenhua Hall was slightly silent.

Wan Wan Shihe kept pinching his fingers and said, "Just now, we just met the special envoy of the Great Frangis, and putting sea pirates in Luzon, isn't it a bit bad? It seems that the imperial court is going back on its word?"

Wang Wang Guoguang thought about it again and said, "According to the report of the Sea Defense Vice Prefect, the Great Frangis people set up a shipyard in Luzon. The ships they sold to the Great Ming came from Luzon."

Tan Lun heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Sea pirates did it, not the Great Ming! Wan Minister, how can you slander the innocence of the imperial court for no reason! The imperial court only knows that Lin Lin Afeng ran away, how do we know where he ran?"

"Didn't we just know? 'Liu Liu Zhizhi is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowledge.' We know where Lin Lin Afeng is going, this, is a bit bad." Wan Wan Shihe argued immediately.

Wang Wang Guoguang said with great emotion, "The Great Ming's ships are indeed not as good as the Great Frangis's ships. Luzon was one of the Great Ming's tributary countries, but now it has been destroyed by the red-haired barbarians. If we do nothing, how will the countries of the ten thousand miles of sea look at our Great Ming?"

The Great Ming's military power is not strong, and the countries of the ten thousand miles of sea are not willing to submit. The previous sea pirate Lin Lin Daoqian ran to Siam. The Great Ming sent a decree to Siam to demand the sea pirate Lin Lin Daoqian, but the Siamese barbarian king not only did not hand over the sea pirate Lin Lin Daoqian, but also appointed the sea pirate Lin Lin Daoqian as the envoy of the barbarians!

Even Siamese barbarian kings like this cat and dog ran out and output on the face of the Great Ming.

This is the result of weak military power.

Luzon was destroyed by the Great Frangis. If the Great Ming really did nothing, it would damage the majesty of the imperial court.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng said with great emotion, "Spears and shields are born together, so there must be struggle. This is the contradiction that exists universally in all things, so struggle also exists universally in all things. We also have contradictions with the Great Frangis country. The imperial court banning the trade of raw silk is the contradiction of interests."

"Then on the matter of Luzon, we also have contradictions with the Great Frangis country. We need to boost our military power, and we also need Luzon, a good port that gathers goods from all over the world. Let Lin Lin Afeng break in. What do you think?"

"Nothing is impossible." Tan Lun expressed his position. Simple recruitment and pacification is not good, but if Lin Lin Afeng can really destroy the Great Frangis people occupying Luzon, it is not impossible to recruit and pacify.

"I am afraid Lin Lin Afeng is not capable enough." Qi Qi Jiguang frowned slightly. He had fought with red-haired barbarians. Lin Lin Afeng's 5,000 people went there, and they could gain the upper hand for a short time, but it was difficult to achieve the full work.

Since you want to do it, do it to the end.

Wang Wang Guoguang thought about it and said, "The Left Assistant of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Dai, previously said that the banditry and Japanese pirate troubles in Guangzhou were gradually pacified, and the 3,000 brave soldiers recruited should be disbanded, but he was reprimanded by the Emperor. Do you remember this matter? These proud soldiers and fierce generals, with the advancement of suppressing Japanese pirates, seem to have no use for local peace. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. It is nothing more than this."

"The soldiers then looted, no different from thieves."

"Recruit and pacify Lin Lin Afeng, how can there be no restraint? It is better to let these recruited soldiers be led by fierce generals to restrain them, to prevent Lin Lin Afeng from really occupying Luzon and becoming a disaster."

Recruited soldiers are brave, but it is very difficult to resettle these recruited soldiers. Since ancient times, the matter of killing the donkey after the mill has not been rare. Li Dai's idea is not a good one, but with the suppression of Japanese pirates entering the final stage, how to resettle is indeed a big problem.

Inserting this part of the recruited soldiers into the sea gang recruited and pacified, not only solves the resettlement problem, but also solves the problem that Lin Lin Afeng may rebel again and cannot beat the Frangis people. Wang Wang Guoguang meant to kill three birds with one stone, and the two difficulties were solved by themselves.

Wang Wang Guoguang said this, and it was not strange. After Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty took Jiangnan, he recruited a large number of Southern Song troops. Unable to resettle them, he arranged for them to go to sea, and they even fought to the country of Java.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and said, "If it is done, Yin Yin Zhengmao has great merit. If it is not done, Yin Yin Zhengmao has great sin."

"Life and death hatred, it is absolutely impossible to work together. Mutual restraint will not lead to loss of control; with the help of these proud soldiers and fierce generals, Lin Lin Afeng attacking Luzon is very promising." Qi Qi Jiguang analyzed the problem from a military perspective.

Lin Lin Afeng's strength is not very strong, and he may not be able to take Luzon, but with the help of these recruited soldiers, the Great Frangis people occupying Luzon may be in trouble.

"Then let it be so?" Zhang Zhang Juzheng looked around and said, "Does anyone have any objections?"

No one opposed the recruitment and pacification. Zhang Zhang Juzheng wrote his opinion on the floating ticket and handed it to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong presented it to the imperial desk and asked the Emperor to stamp it.

Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at the petition in front of him and could only say that the scholars played really dirty!

The Great Ming Dynasty was affectionate with the Frangis people, meeting special envoys, bestowing rewards, but on the other hand, they directly took out a knife and stabbed it into the waist of the Frangis people. The Great Ming court officials were afraid that this knife would not kill people, so they sharpened Lin Lin Afeng's knife hard, striving for a fatal blow.

Politics is only about interests. The Ming gentlemen in the Zhao Wenhua Hall are all cold-blooded and ruthless machines.

Especially Zhang Zhang Juzheng's words, if it is not done, it is Yin Yin Zhengmao's own tail that cannot be dropped, and if it is done, it is a great merit.

Zhu Zhu Yijun picked up the vermilion brush, painted out the paragraph about Lin Lin Afeng on the petition, then picked up the seal and dropped it, saying, "If Li Li Yashi asks, the imperial court does not know."

The Great Ming Emperor was completely lying with his eyes open. What does it mean to not know? Can painting it out mean you don't know!

It really can.

Face is the most useless thing in politics.

After wiping it out, from the perspective of the process, the imperial court really does not know the existence of this person Lin Lin Afeng.

When Lin Lin Afeng does something, if he doesn't do it well, he can't report the name of the imperial court. If he does it well, official positions like Mobile Corps Commander and Viceroy of Luzon can also be granted.

The Frangis people can destroy Luzon, the Great Ming admits it. Lin Lin Afeng destroyed the Frangis people on Luzon Island, and the Great Ming also admits it.

Zhu Zhu Yijun is also a cold and ruthless political machine.

The court discussion continued. Zhu Zhu Yijun held court and read books by the way, and did not feel bored. In this world, where is there more excitement than the quarrels of the gentlemen at the center of imperial power?

Ming gentlemen fighting is even more excitement.

Watching excitement is human nature.

The most intense quarrel was about Zhang Zhang Siwei's return to the court. Seeing that the hole in the Great Wall of Xuan-Da was gradually being plugged, and Wang Wang Chonggu also made a big news in the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong.

That is, the 190,000 displaced tenant farmers and wandering slaves stopped the construction for two months and restored the farming in the Xuanfu and Datong areas.

Xuanfu and Datong restored a total of 47,500 qing of farmland, which is 4.7 million mu of land restored to cultivation, which really opened the Little Emperor's eyes!

Although it is not fertile land, it is more than enough to support these 190,000 displaced tenant farmers and wandering slaves, and it can also distribute military pay in kind to the two towns.

"This can be considered a solid achievement." Wan Wan Shihe said extremely seriously, "The hole in the Great Wall construction has been filled, and the farming in the guard stations that had been abandoned due to long-term war has also been restored, and the imperial court's decree to distribute food and pay in kind can also be implemented."

"The abandonment of farmland in Xuanfu and Datong has been a long time, all caused by war."

"Wang Wang Chonggu, Fang Fang Fengshi, Wu Dui, Guo Hu, and others jointly submitted a petition to dredge water conservancy, stabilize the place, and also requested the imperial court to issue a decree to invite Zhang Zhang Siwei back to the court."

In order for Zhang Zhang Siwei to return to the court, the clan party also changed its tactics. Not only plugging the hole, but also restoring production, and also dredging water conservancy.

There is no one in the court, and everything is passive. Rebellion is not dared, so I have to make achievements to seek the opportunity to return to the court.

"Rewards and punishments are where the principles of heaven lie." Zhang Zhang Juzheng wrote his opinion on the floating ticket for Zhang Zhang Siwei's appointment.

Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at it for a long time, crossed out a sentence of Zhang Zhang Juzheng, and said, "He can return to the court, but he cannot be the deputy chief editor of the 'Veritable Records of Emperor Shizong'."

Wan Wan Shihe bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, why can't he serve as deputy chief editor?"

"Because the 'Veritable Records of Shizong' has already been compiled." Zhu Zhu Yijun said as a matter of course, "It's not that Minister Wan thinks it's slow. Last year, when discussing the distant people, the Tan Sima solved the grievances between the Great Ming and the Little Frangis people for Minister Wan. Minister Wan said that many things during the Emperor Jiajing period were unknown because there was no national history and many things were not observed."

Zhu Zhu Yijun learned Zhang Zhang Juzheng's expression, nodded while gently saying, "What did Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu say at that time? My fault, it was compiled slowly."

Zhu Zhu Yijun learned Zhang Zhang Juzheng really like it, vivid and vivid, depicting the gentle, unrevealed, full of bad water expression, vividly.

Tan Lun almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Zhu Zhu Yijun continued, "Shen Shen Shixing has already sent the first draft to the palace yesterday, and the Directorate of Ceremonial has already reviewed it. Shen Shen Shixing was the top scholar in the 41st year of Emperor Jiajing, and the top scholar was granted the editor of the Hanlin Academy, in charge of compiling national history. Hearing that Minister Wan wanted to see it, he really didn't rest during the New Year, and has been compiling it day and night, and finally compiled the Veritable Records of Shizong before the Great Wall construction."

Wan Wan Shihe looked at the Little Emperor sluggishly. This news was too sudden, and he was a bit stuck. It took a long time to come back to his senses.

The Veritable Records of Emperor Shizong have been compiled, and the Veritable Records of Emperor Muzong have also been compiled.

Because the Veritable Records of Muzong only had six years, the length was relatively short, only 70 volumes, which was much easier than the 46-year Veritable Records of Emperor Shizong. The Veritable Records of Shizong had 566 volumes.

"Didn't you say it would be compiled until the fifth year of Emperor Wanli? Why is it compiled so quickly?" Wan Wan Shihe asked a bit dizzy.

Zhu Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "It started to be compiled from the first year of Emperor Longqing. Xu Xu Jie finished it, Gao Gong compiled it, Gao Gong finished it, and Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu compiled it. These 566 volumes have been compiled for almost eight years. In fact, they were already compiled."

"It's mainly about the problem of Hu Hai Zongxian, which could not be determined. Didn't Hu Hai Zongxian's anti-Japanese name be cleared a while ago? The posthumous title was also given, and his anti-Japanese matters were added in."

"This is still Minister Wan's urgency. Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu is also in a dilemma. One end is his teacher Xu Xu Jie, and the other end is the anti-Japanese gentleman Hu Hai Zongxian. The Ministry of Rites is in a hurry to see it, otherwise the ancestral laws cannot be explained. What can Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu do? He can only clear Hu Hai Zongxian's name."

Tan Lun really used all his strength to hold back his laughter, otherwise he would be dragged out and spanked for losing decorum!

What is Zhu Zhu Yijun? He is always reasonable.

All the pots were buckled on Wan Wan Shihe's head. It was all your Wan Wan Shihe's fault. You still come to ask why it was compiled so quickly. If it weren't for the Ministry of Rites' urgency, would Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu be put in such a situation of disrespecting teachers?

Wan Wan Shihe is a basket, everything can be put in it.

"This, this, this... I am indeed in a hurry, but compiling national history is such a serious matter, how can it be ended hastily?" Wan Wan Shihe made the last struggle.

Zhu Zhu Yijun said immediately, "Minister Wan, you must not say that. If you say that, you will offend many people."

"It's not just Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu who compiled history. The supervisors are Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Zhu Xizhong and Ying Guo Gong Zhang Rong; the chief editors and deputy chief editors include Second Grand Secretary Lu Lu Diaoyang, Right Vice Minister of Rites Shen Shen Shixing; and Hanlin Academy Scholar Ma Ma Ziqiang, Left Vice Minister of Rites Wang Tong, Hanlin Academy Manager Wang Wang Xijue, Hanlin Academy Reader Chen Chen Jingbang, editors, compilers, etc., and the Jin party's Wang Wang Jiaping and Fan Fan Yingqi are also among them."

"You have turned over a boat of people with this sentence, you must not talk nonsense."

Shen Shen Yiguan was also on the list of adding one level of official rank, because Shen Shen Yiguan cleared Hu Hai Zongxian's name.

The list of compiling history was long. Zhu Zhu Yijun did not call names one by one. He just pointed out the main characters such as chief editors, supervisors, and deputy chief editors, and there were also people like the Court of State Ceremonial, which Zhu Zhu Yijun did not read out. That list was so long, but only Zhang Zhang Siwei was not on it.

Ge Ge Shouli obviously knew about this and said with great dissatisfaction, "Why, Minister Wan is not in a hurry to see it? Or is it for the sake of the clan party to exclude others, and not stop, taking this national history as a cause for party strife?"

Wang Wang Jiaping and Fan Fan Yingqi were Jin party, but they were loyal supporters of Ge Ge Shouli, the new Jin party, and they really followed Ge Gong's lead.

"Absolutely not, it's compiled, so it's compiled." Wan Wan Shihe sighed after hearing this. He really tried his best, but he didn't expect that the Grand Secretary was so insidious that he actually rushed the construction period!

The Emperor did agree to Zhang Zhang Siwei's return to the court, but he didn't come back completely. Without the merit of compiling history, he wanted to enter the cabinet, which was really as difficult as climbing to heaven. Shen Shen Shixing and Wang Wang Xijue were all ahead of him.

"If there are no questions, then let Zhang Zhang Siwei return to the court like this." Zhu Zhu Yijun handed the petition in his hand to Zhang Hong and said, "Issue it to the Ministry of Personnel."

The Minister of Personnel, Zhang Han, took the petition. He had already fully understood the ins and outs of this matter, thought about it, and said, "Grand Secretary Zhang Yuanfu has handled it well!"

This matter was Wang Wang Chonggu rushing the construction period in Xuan-Da, and Zhang Zhang Juzheng also rushing the construction period in the court. It depends on who finished the construction period first. As a result, Zhang Zhang Juzheng walked a step faster. Zhang Zhang Siwei lost the merit of compiling history. Not to mention entering the cabinet, even if he wanted to sit in this Zhao Wenhua Hall, he had to climb.

Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Wan Shihe and smiled, "Since Minister Wan wants to see it, just copy a copy from the Three Classics Factory for Minister Wan. By the way, Minister Wan should also annotate it for me. Minister Wan annotates one volume, and I will read one volume. I am young and have a cool virtue, and I still don't understand history books very well. I have to trouble Minister Wan."

"If Minister Wan doesn't want to do it, it's fine to let Shen Shen Shixing, Shen Vice Minister, do it."

Zhu Zhu Yijun can understand it. He is just supervising Wan Wan Shihe to read. Since Wan Wan Shihe wants to see it, he should look carefully and understand it! And he has to annotate it so that the Little Emperor can understand it!

If he can't do this well, Wan Wan Shihe should not be the Minister of Rites. Shen Shen Shixing has just finished compiling history and is holding his breath to arch Wan Wan Shihe's seat!

The court discussion continued in the noise, but Wan Wan Shihe was like a lost soul and didn't say a word. Zhang Zhang Siwei lost the merit of compiling history, how can he enter the cabinet?

The court discussion ended in the noise. Zhu Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Wan Shihe's lost soul and was happy for a while. Zhang Zhang Siwei was too smart in his calculations. Fighting with Zhang Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Zhang Siwei really couldn't fight.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng did not immediately let the readers and lecturers enter the hall, but bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a recommendation, who can replace Yin Yin Zhengmao as the Viceroy of Liangguang. Yin Yin Zhengmao is corrupt, and there is a lot of criticism in the court. If Your Majesty intends to change, this person is an excellent candidate."

For major personnel appointments, Zhang Zhang Juzheng naturally had to communicate with the Little Emperor. Yin Yin Zhengmao had merit in suppressing Japanese pirates, but corruption was also solid. 120,000 taels of silver, Yin Yin Zhengmao could draw 30,000 taels into his own pocket, which was really a bit too much.

"Who?" Zhu Zhu Yijun frowned and asked.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and said, "Right Censor-in-Chief, Jiangxi Provincial Governor Ling Ling Yunyi, a scholar in the 26th year of Emperor Jiajing, and I were on the same list."

"I know this person. He is under the teacher's door. Is Ling Ling Yunyi not corrupt?" Zhu Zhu Yijun nodded. Zhang Zhang Juzheng really had a candidate, so he said that the Luzon matter was successful, Yin Yin Zhengmao had great merit, and if the Luzon matter was not successful, Yin Yin Zhengmao had great sin.

Ling Ling Yunyi was Zhang party. Ling Ling Yunyi's name was hung on the official screen, and his resume was posted behind the sign. Visual management system was an extremely efficient management method.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng was also very embarrassed and said, "Ling Ling Yunyi is not corrupt, but Ling Ling Yunyi likes merit and kills."

"Then it's not as good as Yin Yin Zhengmao." As soon as Zhu Zhu Yijun heard this shortcoming, he immediately expressed that Yin Yin Zhengmao was better to use. If he is corrupt, he is corrupt. If he likes to kill, he will kill the innocent to claim credit!

The situation in Liangguang is complex. Just killing will only force more rebellion. Yin Yin Zhengmao is also a combination of kindness and prestige in Liangguang, killing Japanese pirates, red-haired barbarians, black barbarians, and desperate people, and pacifying and rescuing those who were coerced.

"It is indeed not as good as Yin Yin Zhengmao, but I repeatedly reprimanded Yin Yin Zhengmao, and he didn't listen. I am ashamed." Zhang Zhang Juzheng also knew that Ling Ling Yunyi was not as good as Yin Yin Zhengmao, but Yin Yin Zhengmao's corruption was a bit difficult to handle. His seat teacher repeatedly told Yin Yin Zhengmao not to be corrupt, but Yin Yin Zhengmao still went his own way.

The seat teacher's face is secondary. If the Emperor is completely disappointed with Yin Yin Zhengmao, that is a big deal.

Zhu Zhu Yijun didn't care much and said, "Yin Yin Zhengmao also has his concerns and considerations. He doesn't seek wealth. The imperial court should worry more, right? I and the teacher are not in the far south. Thousands of miles away, what exactly is it? We don't know. Don't doubt the person you use. Wait for the far south to stabilize, and Yin Yin Zhengmao will return to the capital to report on his duties. The teacher will ask him personally."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Zhang Juzheng bowed and accepted the decree. Since the Emperor is still willing to use him, there is no need to change.

"Does the teacher think Lin Lin Afeng can take Luzon?" Zhu Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng said with great certainty, "Rather than saying Lin Lin Afeng wants to fight Luzon, it is better to say that the Great Ming wants to fight Luzon. The Frangis people still have a sense of contempt. Our dynasty has diplomatic relations with the Great Frangis country. If we can't take Luzon, the Great Frangis people will cut off our submissive heart, and the five prohibitions will only be submissive on the surface."

"Wan Minister said something very right. Barbarians have wolf faces and beast hearts, fearing power but not cherishing virtue. If Luzon is not controlled by the Great Ming, the Great Frangis people will not be at peace, just like the Little Frangis people."

Zhu Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Teacher has great talent!"

"Your Majesty's praise, I am ashamed and dare not accept it." Zhang Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed and said.

To avoid the official army's advance, Lin Feng led 62 warships and 5,500 men to sail to Luzon. On the 29th of the month, he arrived at Maris in Manila Bay. The first attack on Manila was won, killing the Spanish Regional Commander in the Philippines, Goiti. Later, he established a capital in Lingayen Bay, Pangasinan Province, and called himself King, getting along well with the local residents. In March of the third year of Emperor Wanli, Spain sent 600 Spanish soldiers and 6,000 Luzon soldiers to attack Lin Feng, and the Great Ming also took the opportunity to join the siege. Lin Feng fought hard for 4 months, but because of the lack of food and equipment, he was defeated on August 4th and fled. Please vote for the monthly ticket, Aowu!!!!!
