"What's the matter?" Emperor Chongxing's tone was a little angry, because he had too many worries in recent times.

"The Jinyi Guard secretly reported that the court officials, led by Chu Zhongping, the Minister of Personnel, secretly contacted officials from the five southeastern provinces (Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian) and wanted to follow the emperor's will and send troops to Shaanxi to serve the king!"

"What did you say?"

Emperor Chongxing's face changed. Although he ascended the throne, he was still a little worried, just afraid that Emperor Yongchang would return.

At that time, it is impossible to say whether the world is listened to the emperor or the emperor.

Seeing Emperor Chongxing's surprise, Xiao Dezi repeated it again and finally said, "Your Majesty wants to make an idea. If the troops from the five southeastern provinces enter Shaanxi to serve the king and welcome the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing, it will be a bad thing."

After a pause, he suggested: "I think that people should be sent south immediately to control the situation in the five southeastern provinces so that no one can take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

"Who dares to send troops without the orders of the court?"

Emperor Chongxing said hatefully, but he felt a little scared because Emperor Yongchang put a lot of pressure on him.

These words made Xiao Dezi look bitter. Zhao Wenyu, who was beside him, sighed and thought to himself that he had followed the emperor's will, and it was obvious that he did not take the imperial court's decree seriously.

But now he is one with Emperor Chongxing. If he really can't control the situation and let Emperor Yongchang come back, it will be a big trouble.

After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Emperor, as far as I know, Chu Zhongping's party is born in Zhejiang, but his party is spread across the five southeastern provinces. These five provinces are also the places with the most scholars. If it is because of the officials and gentry, they are really likely..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wenyu stopped talking, and the meaning in the words was also very obvious.

"Damn it!"

Emperor Chongxing cursed hatefully, and his expression changed constantly.

"The emperor, you must send people south quickly to stabilize the situation in the five southeastern provinces. It is best to have Admiral He personally take action!"

Whether it is promoting the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, or preventing the army of the five southeastern provinces from advancing westward to serve the king, it is a difficult task. At this time, Xiao Dezi would naturally think of He Yuansheng.

Those who share the same views as Xiao Dezi are Emperor Chongxing, because there is no one available except He Yuansheng.

"Transfer the order and summon He Yuansheng to the palace immediately!"

Soon a little eunuch went out to deliver the order. Half an hour later, He Yuansheng appeared in the East Nuan Pavilion.

"See the Emperor!"

"Forgive!"

Due to the urgent matter, Emperor Chongxing's tone changed a little, which made He Yuansheng laugh secretly, thinking in his heart, the more anxious you are, the greater the power I gain.

A few days ago, He Yuansheng knew that Chu Zhongping's party had planned much earlier than the Jinyiwei.

However, in order to gain more power, he pretended not to know anything and helped cover it up for a few days. It was not until today that the Jinyiwei got the news.

"Admiral He, something big happened..."

At this time, Xiao Dezi spoke and told what happened. He Yuansheng also pretended to be very surprised and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, you must send someone south to stabilize the situation!"

"I have this intention, but the civil and military officials in the court can reassure me of the only one who can reassure me!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongxing felt a little guilty in his eyes. After all, the status of a Beijing official is higher than that of a local official.

What's more, He Yuansheng was the admiral of the Beijing camp. He held great power and rashly asked him to leave the capital was considered a kind of derogatory reprimand.

"I am willing to share the worries of the emperor!"

He Yuansheng showed a loyal look.

Emperor Chongxing even more moved.

At this time, I remembered the trouble of Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, and Emperor Chongxing spoke again: "There is another hidden worry in the southeast. The prefect of Hangzhou reported that a large number of Japanese pirates appeared along the coast and looted villages and towns near Hangzhou..."

As he said that, Emperor Chongxing handed the memorial to He Yuansheng, with a solemn expression.

"Emperor, whether it is to deal with Japanese pirates along the coast or stabilize the situation in the five southeastern provinces, it is a difficult task. If I go south alone, it may be difficult to achieve my goal!"

After reading the memorial, He Yuansheng made a request, which was within Emperor Chongxing's expectations. After all, the situation in the five southeastern provinces was unstable.

But now there are only 150,000 troops in Shenjing. If He Yuansheng takes too many, he will be unsure.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongxing slowly spoke: "He Qing, you are admiring the Beijing camp. You should know that there are not many soldiers in the capital. I can only give you 30,000 soldiers!"

"Thirty thousand is enough!"

With 30,000 elite soldiers, He Yuansheng will definitely choose the three thousand battalions trained by one hand. With this team, there will be no big problems whether it is to eliminate Japanese pirates or stabilize the situation in the southeast.

After all, the Southeast has been in peace for a long time and the army is ineffective, so He Yuansheng really doesn't care about it.

As soon as the king and his minister finished speaking, Zhao Wenyu stood up and said carefully: "Your Majesty, 30,000 people travel south, which is a lot of money, and the court may not be able to support it!"

This statement made Emperor Chongxing’s headache again and didn’t speak for a long time. He Yuansheng, who was beside him, took the opportunity to speak: “Emperor, our coastal areas have huge trade volume. Now the court has no money, so he can collect commercial taxes and make up for military expenses.”

Emperor Chongxing's eyes lit up and he immediately spoke, "He Qing listened to the order!"

He Yuansheng immediately knelt down and heard Emperor Chongxing say solemnly: "I ordered you to be the imperial envoy, the Minister of Maritime Affairs, the general in Zhejiang, and control all the troops of the five southeastern provinces!"

He paused and said, "We must stabilize the situation in the five southeastern provinces, and we must not let any army advance westward. We will investigate the authenticity of the Japanese pirates. If it is true, try our best to destroy these Japanese pirates!"

"I will receive the order!"

After leaving the palace, He Yuansheng went to Ye Yumeng's courtyard and said with a smile: "Everything goes well, God is really helping you!"

"Congratulations to Master!" Ye Yumeng said with a smile.

Originally, the two planned only as the governor of Zhejiang. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, they suddenly found out that officials such as Chu Zhongping had conspired to send troops westward to welcome Emperor Yongchang back.

This incident gave He Yuansheng the opportunity, because the person Emperor Chongxing was most afraid of was Emperor Yongchang who was trapped in Shaanxi.

If the five southeastern provinces really send troops westward, no matter whether they can eliminate the rebellion or not, as long as Emperor Yongchang returns to Shenjing, the situation will change drastically, which Emperor Chongxing does not allow.

So he secretly covered up the news in order to delay time.

It was not until the memorial of the Hangzhou prefect arrived today that the news was exposed.

In this way, whether it is the trouble of Japanese pirates in Zhejiang or the stabilization of the situation in the southeast, there must be an army to support the battle. He Yuansheng can take the opportunity to demand troops and power.

Now, not only Zhejiang has the military and political power, but also can be in charge of maritime affairs with justification and control the military affairs of the other four provinces. The situation is much better than what was planned before.

"Now that he has become an imperial envoy or a minister of maritime affairs, many plans are not available!"

After calming down for a moment, He Yuansheng continued to speak, thinking in his mind what to do after heading south.

The original plan was to lead troops out of the capital in the name of extermination of Japanese pirates, and it would be best if you were the commander of Zhejiang.

Then he planned maritime affairs on the grounds of insufficient military expenditure. After all, the imperial court did not know how much profit the maritime affairs would be, so he should agree to this matter.

But now that we have achieved one step, many plans are not available. As long as we stabilize the situation in the five southeastern provinces, we can slowly accumulate strength.

"The most urgent task is to destroy the plans of Chu Zhongping and others. If someone really leads his troops westward and welcomes the Supreme Emperor back, it will be troublesome!" Ye Yumeng said.

"You go south first and call the master a front station so that officials from the five southeastern provinces will lead their troops westward. We don't know yet!"

Emperor Chongxing asked He Yuansheng to go south. The first thing to do was to stabilize the situation in the five southeastern provinces, so he naturally put it first.

Otherwise, once the troops of the five Southeast provinces advance westward, they will really bring Yongchang Emperor back to Shenjing, which will be a problem for anyone.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll leave tomorrow!"

The next morning, Ye Yumeng quietly headed south with Huan'er and dozens of guards.

He Yuansheng ordered troops from the Three Thousand Battalions, drew out his own troops, and prepared food and grass to go south.

Five days later, everything was ready, and the 30,000 soldiers gathered began to move south.

When He Yuansheng left, Emperor Chongxing in Shenjing City completely relieved his heart and said to himself: "I finally feel at ease!"

This time, He Yuansheng's trip to the south was a matter of killing two birds with one stone. It not only stabilized the situation in the southeast, but also prevented the emergence of powerful officials.

Because He Yuansheng left the capital, the military power of the three camps would return to Emperor Chongxing.

And Xiao Dezi also felt relieved, thinking to himself, He Yuansheng, He Yuansheng, you can stay in the five southeastern provinces, there will be no one to compete for power with our family again...

In Nanjing City, in the Jiangsu Governor's Office, the governors and generals from the five southeastern provinces gathered together and were plotting something.

Zhejiang Governor Li Shancai was the first to speak: "Dear colleagues, you all know the letter from Beijing. I agree with the meaning of Shangshu Chu, and I don't know what you think!"

Jiangsu Governor Chen Shijun said, "The emperor acted recklessly and wanted to change the ancestral system, which would inevitably lead to chaos in the world. Now, only by greeting the Supreme Emperor and re-emphasizing the rule can we change all this.

I agree with the idea of ​​Shangshu Chu and send troops westward to welcome the Supreme Emperor back!"

Anhui Governor Ma Kai opposed: "It's easy to say, but Shaanxi is so chaotic, without more than 100,000 troops, how can we open up Tongguan and welcome the Supreme Emperor back?

What's more, the court has no orders and is voluntarily voluntarily. If the emperor blames it, do you all here still want a head!"

The governors of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces also expressed their opinions. They were all worried, just like Ma Kai.

This is because the governors of the five southeastern provinces, including Chu Zhongping, have a one-party (Zhejiang Party), but their relationship is different.

Chu Zhongping, Li Shancai, and Chen Shijun are in-laws and have a very close relationship. Although Ma Kai and the other two governors, although they are also Zhejiang Party, have a slightly further relationship and cannot be compared with those three, so their attitude is not so firm.

As for the generals of the five provinces, although they have high rank, all the food and salary are in the hands of civil servants, so they naturally have to obey the orders of the governor, and they don’t have much say in such matters.
