After a while, Emperor Longqing reached out to take the apple from Concubine Lin Shu's hand, took a bite and put it aside: "The Feng family's face is just a hairpin gift, why does the princess have to postpone her trip for her?"
Concubine Lin Shu smiled: "I heard that it was because Yonghe was also going, so the Feng family girl posted a message asking Princess Shouning to stay and watch the ceremony.
Emperor Longqing understood as soon as he heard that no matter how good Feng Shuyuan was, Wei An might not buy her fault.
But if Yonghe took action, it would be different.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Concubine Lin Shu: "Do you think Shouning and Shen Chen are worthy of each other?"
When asked this, Lin Shufei frowned unconsciously, and seemed to think about it seriously before saying: "Whether he is worthy or not, how can I say this?
In my opinion, he is naturally the best for my brother."
This is the truth.
Emperor Longqing couldn't help but laugh: "It's a pity that your brother is a treasure.
Shouning doesn't like him, so what can you do?"
He seemed to have an idea in his mind.
Just as Eunuch An hurriedly arrived outside, he stood up and told Concubine Lin Shu: "Take good care of your body."
Concubine Lin Shu responded in a low voice and stood up respectfully to see him out.
Eunuch An helped Emperor Longqing down the steps and said with his head lowered: "Xu Anying, Secretary of the Ministry of War, received an urgent report from Zhejiang.
The Japanese pirates have stationed more than 30,000 troops and seem to be preparing for a counterattack."
Emperor Longqing's expression changed instantly, and what he had thought about going to Princess Yonghe to talk to before was instantly forgotten, and he immediately went to the Tai Chi Hall.
Xu Anying, Qian Shiyun and others had already arrived here.
When they saw Emperor Longqing, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Emperor Longqing excused himself, but Xu Anying read the emergency report he held up with both hands and sneered: "What does Liu Biping mean?"
In the past, all the reports from Fujian were good news, saying that they severely damaged the Japanese pirates.
The Chief Envoy of Fujian also reported that this was an unparalleled achievement.
However, now, a large number of Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast of Zhejiang.
The governor of Zhejiang made it clear that these Japanese pirates fled from Fujian.
What on earth is Liu Biping doing?
Xu Anying also immediately handed over her hand and reported: "Every time Liu Biping asked for silver from the court, he always boasted about great victories, but the patrol censor did not report a single word of the truth.
The corruption in Fujian officialdom is evident."
Liu Biping seems to have mastered the essence of deceiving superiors and concealing inferiors.
While complaining to the court about poverty and asking for money, he used the excuse of Japanese pirates to support his troops and respect themselves.
How can he fight against Japanese pirates?
It's obvious that he deliberately kept the Japanese pirates and the gang of pirates around to stabilize their position.
Emperor Longqing looked at the urgent report in front of him and suddenly reached out and threw it to the ground: "Such traitors!"
There was a dead silence in the main hall, and no one dared to speak for a while.
Emperor Longqing's anger was justified.
For so many years, Liu Biping relied on his skills in employing people to control the Japanese pirates in Fujian and protect the people in Fujian from being harassed by Japanese pirates, so he gained a firm foothold.
There is a saying that has been circulating in the imperial court for a day without the southeast, and there is no day without Liu Biping in the southeast.
There is some truth to this.
But as time went on, Liu Biping's appetite grew stronger.
Since he eliminated the Yi family and the Peng family, Liu Biping seemed to have no constraints.
He relied on the court to launch rebellions by King Cheng and King Jin, and also relied on the court to start a war with King Jin.
The large amount of military pay Fujian raised became even more arrogant. .
It’s just that he’s too arrogant and can’t hide some things.
Just like this time, the Japanese pirates had finally been fed to their wits by Liu Biping.
They were no longer satisfied with Liu Biping's idea of conducting private transactions, and had already set their sights on Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In the silence, it was Chen Yushi who spoke first: "Liu Biping is originally from Fujian."
This meaningless sentence made everyone confused and looked at him without knowing why.

It was Qian Shiyun who reacted the fastest.
He thought for a moment before saying: "I have never returned to my hometown when I was an official.
He was recommended by Xia Shoufu, and he is also Xia Shoufu's disciple."
Therefore, he could return to Fujian and serve as governor of any place, and the Liu family was originally a large local family.
He became more at ease with himself.
By now, the tail is too big to fall off.
Fujian seems to be the territory of their Liu family.
Emperor Longqing sneered.
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Every year I ask for money from the imperial court.
How much money does Fujian's annual military expenditure cost?
No matter how big his appetite Liu Biping is, he can't eat so much."
Emperor Longqing threw the memorial in his hand heavily to the ground: "He even eats it."
"Excuse me, let's not talk about the local censors and the chief envoys.
Let's just talk about the imperial court.
No one knows about it."
This is a heartbreaking thing to say.
It was clearly saying that there were people in the court who were colluding with Liu Biping.
"I was mistaken like this."
Emperor Longqing snorted, with an undercurrent in his tone: "If it hadn't been for the trouble this time, even if Shen Chen was sent, what would be the use of establishing a shipping department?"
Having said this, it is impossible not to answer the question.
Everyone's eyes fell on the chief assistant.
In the end, Jiang Shoufu lay on the ground and raised his head: "The Japanese pirates are constantly invading in the southeast, the Tatars are watching in the north, and the King of Jin is making trouble in Jiangxi.
Liu Biping is certainly ambitious, but now is not the time to touch him."
The words are a bit harsh, but they are the real truth.
At this time, if Liu Biping is involved, the entire southeastern officialdom will be shaken.
Not only that, but also how many people in the court will be implicated.
Xia Song has been the chief minister for many years and has disciples all over the government and the public.
The big turmoil came, firstly because Xia Song was still alive after all, and secondly because although Xia Song fell, Emperor Longqing was obviously concerned about the situation of the court and did not dig deeper regardless of the situation, leaving room for others.
But once you want to investigate Liu Biping.
This leeway must not be left any longer.
By then, there will be so many people involved.
But when the incident happened, the court did not investigate, which chilled the hearts of the people.
Once a thorough investigation was carried out, officials were frightened and the government and the public were shaken.
At that time, it would be a difficult situation to get off the ground.
What Jiang Zining said was right.
Liu Biping must not move, at least at this time.
Qian Shiyun also followed Jiang Zining and kowtowed to Emperor Longqing a few times, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, what the Chief Minister said is right.
This matter is related to the overall situation of the southeast.
It involves too much.
Once a thorough investigation is carried out, it will definitely shock the government and the public."
Then we can't investigate thoroughly.
But since we couldn't conduct a thorough investigation, Liu Biping, a silverfish, was left to do whatever he wanted.
Even if the court did not thoroughly investigate the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, the people and the government and the public would not know anything was wrong and they would not know about the fishy things in Fujian.
No matter how you think about it, it's a mess, and you can see that it's hard to get right.

It seems like no matter where you go, it's already a dead end
