Yang Qi'er's hand pain, maybe it's not that the hand pain is unbearable, it's just that the emperor yelled at him in the afternoon that he didn't want to see him, which made him deeply hurt.

Yang Qi'er already understood a lot of what the adults said, and besides, it was so simple that he didn't want to see him.

So in the following day or two, he was very clingy to the emperor. If the emperor asked him lovingly if his hands still hurt, he would hug his arms tenderly to show that he was still in pain, and if it hurt so much I don't want to talk to him anymore.

At this time, the emperor began to blame himself, "It's Daddy's fault, Daddy should beat him."

He really lifted Yang Qi'er's hand wrapped like a small rice dumpling and touched his face lightly.

The emperor's insincere slap made Yang Qi'er look sideways, and he arched his neck with his small head.

The emperor's anger at Ji Heng's possible derailment was greatly reduced because of his soft son, but when the ministers advised him not to call Ji Heng back at this time, he still insisted on going his own way and had to call Ji Heng back.

No matter how much the ministers persuaded him, how to present the facts and make sense, he would not listen anyway.

The matter of summoning Ji Heng back to the capital has become known to everyone before the imperial decree is sent out.

The eleventh lady of the Xu family was imprisoned, and Xu Shi finally found a relationship to see her. She was haggard a lot in prison, but she didn't cry, Xu asked her, "What happened to your family that offended the emperor, and you sent me down like this?" Big crime, your uncle and I will not be able to intercede with the emperor."

Eleven Niang didn't know what was going on, she just said, "This niece doesn't know." Then she asked, "Auntie, do you know what's going on at home in Yangzhou and Guangzhou."

Xu said very sadly, "The emperor issued an order to arrest Xu's family. The imperial edict has already been issued, but it is a long way from the capital to Yangzhou and then to Guangzhou. It will take a long time for the imperial edict to arrive. I don't know what crime your father and the others have committed. It made the emperor so angry. But don't worry, your uncle and I will have a good time outside and plead with the emperor. Besides, the emperor only mentioned one crime of treason, and there must be evidence to convict. The emperor's evidence has not yet been released. It didn’t say which official was sent to investigate, and maybe things turned around.”

Eleven Niang wiped away her tears at this time, and said, "Thank you, aunt and uncle, for worrying about my family's affairs. My father is a maritime merchant, and you, aunt, know that as long as the ship goes out to sea, there will always be various dangers. There are many pirates at sea. If Without some strength of his own to protect the ship, he could only let the pirates snatch the goods, so his father must have some strength. However, his father never intended to fight against the court, nor did he do anything like pirates Burning, killing, and looting, why can it be judged as a crime of treason? It's really...it's out of nothing. I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be no reason to add crimes, and our family will be convicted of such a crime of killing the nine clans gone."

Xu said, "There is no trial yet, so how can we convict you. Little Eleven, don't think about it, hold on first, your aunt, your uncle, and your cousin will always find a way to rescue you of."

Eleventh Lady hurriedly thanked her again.

Mrs. Xu looked at the similar faces of Eleven Niang and Ji Heng. She hadn't seen her son for more than a year. Ji Heng was in the southeast. It only made Xu miss his son even more.

Xu sighed, comforted Eleven Niang a few more words, and then left.

Mr. Xu and Mr. Ji Ge knew about the Emperor calling Ji Heng back to the capital. Both of them were not stupid, so they naturally wondered why the Emperor called Ji Heng back to the capital so eagerly.

After a few days, Mrs. Xu and Ji Ge finally knew the reason.

It was the letter Ji Heng wrote to them. In the letter, he wrote that he met Xu Qilang, and then Xu Qilang helped him rescue Wang Qichu's clansmen. Then he wrote that he left with Xu Qilang and learned that Wang Qilang's remnant tribe's lair Where, he was going to cooperate with Xu Qilang to get rid of Wang Qi's lair.

These were all written to Elder Ji Ge, and later he wrote that he was worried that the emperor would convict the Xu family because of the previous negotiations between the Xu family and Wang Qi, so that Elder Ji Ge must persuade the emperor.

When Ji Ge read this letter, he suddenly realized everything.

Starting from political interests, Mr. Ji Ge actually couldn't understand why the emperor would convict the Xu family because of the Xu family's previous negotiations with Wang Qi. After all, the Xu family was completely on the side of the court this time.Moreover, the emperor has no definite proof of the relationship between the Xu family and Wang Qi.

Someone invited Mr. Zhang to discuss it. Mr. Zhang saw it more clearly than Mr. Ji Ge. He said to Mr. Ji Ge, "Probably the emperor thinks that the Xu family is too powerful, so he wants to use this to get rid of the Xu family. Maybe I also want to use this to reduce the power of the Jifu, didn't the emperor call Brother Heng back again?"

Elder Ji Ge pondered for a moment and said, "But why did the emperor attack the Xu family at this pass and call Heng brother back. After getting rid of Wang Qi, he will deal with the Xu family and recall Heng brother, right?"

Mr. Zhang said helplessly, "Perhaps the emperor is jealous that Brother Heng and Qilang get together. It is not impossible for the emperor to be an upright young man to compete emotionally."

Mr. Ji Ge was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and after thinking about it, he felt that this might be credible. He sighed, frowned, and said, "If it's this kind of love between children, the emperor will lose the big because of the small." , I am confused."

But Mr. Zhang said, "Hua Yun, if you care about it, you will be confused. The emperor summoned Brother Heng to come back. I don't think the emperor knows that Brother Heng will resist by saying that he will not obey the military orders abroad. From a lover's point of view, He hoped that Brother Heng would come back, but from the perspective of being a king, he would let Brother Heng do whatever he wanted. If the emperor issued a secret decree to call Ji Heng back to Beijing, he would really want to call Brother Heng back, but this Everyone in the capital knows about it, and the ministers are all against it. I think the emperor has a deep meaning in it. First of all, I think he wants Brother Heng to restrain himself in certain matters, and it is also for the southeast officialdom to see clearly. Above Brother Heng is his emperor. I think it is not a good thing that Brother Heng is too popular in the southeast official circles; secondly, even if this imperial decree is issued, the pirates at sea may not be able to get such big news. I thought that Brother Heng would not be so cautious when he returned to Beijing. I think Brother Heng must also want to get it, so he must have pretended to return to Beijing, but he did not accept orders. Instead, he led people to attack Wang Qi's lair and beat Wang Qi. Qi was caught off guard; thirdly, the emperor's thoughts were deep. If Brother Heng came back, well, he would be happy. If Brother Heng didn't come back and refused to obey the order, then he would be very troublesome later. Well, anyway, the emperor won't suffer any disadvantages. Therefore, in this matter, Brother Heng, no matter what, the result may not be good."

Elder Ji Ge had actually figured it out. He was silent for a long time, and then said, "A companion is like a tiger. This old man can't persuade the emperor anymore. He can only watch Heng'er come back and untie this knot with the emperor."

The emperor's decree was passed to Yuhang, but Ji Heng was not in Yuhang, but in Taizhou, so the official who delivered the decree had to come down to Taizhou again.

When Ji Heng received the imperial edict, he was very polite to the censor who delivered the edict, and asked him to treat the guests politely, and then went to him to explain a lot of reasoning, "Master Min, I have accepted the imperial edict. But I'm afraid I will resist the order and not obey it."

This censor Min Zhinan in his early thirties is a wonderful person. He was not surprised at all when he heard Ji Heng's words. Instead, he quickly put down the teacup he was drinking and said, "The next official will take over." The job of delivering the decree is that other adults can't shirk to pass the decree. Everyone sees that Xiaguan is young and strong, and he is suitable for going south quickly. The Xiaguan can't shirk, so he has to come. I thought about it, why all the bosses didn't come, maybe they were afraid of this result. If you resist the order and don't obey it, you can't do it if you are angry with you, and you can't do it if you don't get angry. So I postponed the matter. I'm dismissed. So, let's pretend that my lord has never said this, and I have never heard of it. I will go back to Beijing tomorrow. I broke my leg on the way. I will arrive in about a month. At that time, I will say that you are here, my lord. Later, you can see if it works."

Ji Heng didn't expect to meet such an official delivering the decree, so he couldn't help but smile, and said, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, and you don't need to break your leg, but you need to make the illusion that you have brought me back together , the matter of pleading guilty afterwards, when I return to the capital, I will naturally plead guilty myself."

Ji Heng didn't explain too much to Min Zhinan. Min Zhinan agreed to Ji Heng's request in a polite manner, thinking that the lovers were the ones making trouble for themselves anyway, and he didn't want to be cannon fodder in the middle.

Ji Heng was afraid that Xu Qilang would think he was going back to Beijing when he got the news, so he specially wrote a secret letter and sent it to him through the secret channel Xu Qilang established, so that Xu Qilang could feel at ease and follow the original plan.

In mid-June, the imperial navy was ready, and Wang Qiguo really thought that Ji Heng had gone back to Beijing. Ji Heng was missing in the southeast area. These military officers who hold military power have their own factions. It turned out that Ji Heng was in charge, and everyone contributed It is all seen in the eyes, it is straight to the sky, and the rewards and punishments are clear. If Ji Heng is gone, there will definitely be things like robbery and frame-ups in the past. The strength of the army and navy in the southeast will definitely be weakened. , simply the best news.

As far as Wang Qi knows, Jiang Shize and Wang Bingzhi are not so harmonious. Jiang Shize advocates naval warfare, but Wang Bingzhi prefers land warfare, because Jiang Shize is good at naval warfare, and as long as naval warfare is his credit, but Wang Bingzhi is good at land warfare. In the battle, he is the number one creditor.

If there was no Ji Heng, these two would be able to quarrel because of tactical deviation.

Moreover, Chen Huanzhi, the governor of Liangjiang, and Wang Bingzhi had some grievances between them, and it was impossible to cooperate well.

Wang Qi is also contacting various forces here, and wants to give the imperial navy a counterattack, and then directly attack the Ryukyu Island occupied by the Dutch.

Wang Qi's lair is on Yushan Island near Sansha. Yushan Island is at the junction of Zhejiang and Fujian. Not only did the navy not practice, but the soldiers ran away, and they gradually fell into disrepair, and were even occupied by pirates later.

Before Ji Heng pointed out that Wang Qi was here in the information that Xu Qilang sent to him afterward, he always thought that this place was occupied by Xu Tiehu's men.

This time the imperial court captured this place, so it was necessary to reset the Haizhai here and establish a military fortress for the imperial court.

The navy of the imperial court approached the island, landed from the other side of the island according to the terrain that Xu Qilang had surveyed, and Xu Qilang's people came to lead the way, trying to catch Wang Qi by surprise.

It was a moonlit night, and the battle was fought under the moonlight.

First entered the Xu Dachuan Department of the Wang Qi Group, and set fire to the ships in Haizhai Port. All the warships also sailed out to block.

According to historical records: In the 15th year of Zhaoyuan, in June of the [-] Revolution, Jiang Shize, the governor of the Zhejiang Navy, and Jiang Shize, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, Zhao Zhili, defeated the pirate Wang Qi on Yushan Island.

In one simple sentence, the matter is summed up.

But in fact, this battle lasted a total of six days.

Ji Heng didn't go to the island, but just waited on the boat.

On June 24, Jiang Weizhi, one of Jiang Shize's generals, kidnapped Wang Qitong and Yang Qinzhi, the third son of King Wu, for Ji Heng.
