Lu Kun shouted when Hu Shouren was about to leave after being ordered to leave.
Then, he handed over his hands to Hai Rui and said, "Think twice in the ministry! Everyone knows about this. Although the purpose of the people behind this is to instigate a popular uprising to drive away the pro-military guards, their real intention is to prevent the New Deal!"
"At this time, if the pro-military guards are allowed to continue to supervise taxes on the grounds of insufficient evidence, I am afraid that the powerful rightists behind the scenes will already have countermeasures, and this will cause a larger-scale turmoil."
Tang Chuanxun also nodded at this time and said: "This can be said to be a conspiracy. I'm afraid that they are just waiting for you to do this, and the people will suffer again. The local ruffians, bullies and bandits who were bribed by them will be burned and killed by pretending to be soldiers. Loot."
Hai Rui nodded and then said, "What you said makes sense. But don't worry, I'm afraid it won't be long before someone comes to discuss with me how to stop this turmoil!"
Hai Rui said as he put his hands behind his back and looked outside: "You must know that once the turmoil gets out of control, it will not only be the fault of this court, but everyone from the governor to the county magistrate will be involved."
"It's just that now, if we don't post the notice, the tax supervision will be delayed, and we can't build plank roads openly and covertly! As a result, the entire New Deal will really not be implemented."
Hai Rui then said a few more words.
Lu Kun and Tang Chuanxun nodded, then cupped their hands and said, "I will be taught by you!"
Sure enough, soon after the Governor's Yamen posted a notice that the pro-military guards would continue to supervise taxes, Huo Weida handed the copied copy of the notice to Lu Hao and Gu Bingren.
After looking at it, Gu Bingren sneered: "It seems that Haigang Peak is really going to be tough with us!"
Lu Hao, on the other hand, stroked his beard and said, "Then you Wu people, give him some color and see!"
"nature!"
"Although most of us in Wu still pay taxes, no one is really willing to keep paying like this."
"Obviously it is not possible to resist the New Deal, but it is still possible to allow the civil unrest that drove away the pro-military guards to occur."
Gu Bingren said with a cold face.
As a result, not long after this, there were many incidents of so-called pro-military guard women being raped and robbed in Yingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion and other places, and people began to frequently stop officials from complaining.
[It has been running stably for many years. It is comparable to the old version of the book chasing tool and is used by all old bookworms.
Immediately, his classmates responded one after another.
"That's how it should be. The taxes in Wu are too heavy, so we should ask the court to reduce them!"
"The exemption is an ancestral system and must continue to exist. The gentry does not have to pay dingyin!"
…
As a result, Yin Li Ji, who had always been the most cowardly Yingtian Prefecture, was captured by these students and a large team of thugs hired by them to Chongzheng Academy in Nanjing City and asked him to preside over the meeting.
Li Ji was very angry about this and cursed at Gong Mingzong: "You are rebelling! Either let me go or kill me! As for setting up another office meeting bureau, don't even think about it being at your mercy." , I do not agree with the treacherous and unethical words of you Wu people governing Wu. Wu is the Wu of the Ming Dynasty, not your Wu!"
Gong Mingzong and others did not kill Li Ji, but finally let him go.
Then, Li Ji fled Chongzheng Academy, but he was afraid that the civil unrest would intensify, and he didn't care about the charges that these students had brought him to the academy without permission, so he only came to the governor's office in Hai Rui.
At this time, civil servants such as Sun Guangyou, the governor of Yingtian, Lu Hao, the admiral of Caojiang, Tian Le, the governor of the patrol, and Li Yi of the military commander also came to the governor's Yamen.
Although there are riots everywhere in Wudi, no one dares to come to the governor's office to cause trouble.
After all, the people who started the riot had suffered losses and knew how powerful the pro-military guards were in combat, so they only dared to secretly throw dirty water on the pro-military guards, instead of openly breaking into the Governor's Yamen guarded by the pro-military guards.
However, the Governor's Yamen only kneeled down many people who were still willing to believe in Hai Rui.
These people are all homesteaders, ordinary craftsmen or ordinary merchants in Yingtian Mansion.
They came to beg Hai Rui to withdraw the pro-military guards, because they all knew that all this chaos was caused by not withdrawing the pro-military guards.
But this chaos had the greatest impact on them, making them afraid to buy and sell in towns and afraid to farm in the countryside.
Therefore, under the guidance of many village officials, they all came to the Governor's Yamen to seek help from Hai Rui.
"Why are you, my fellow citizens, kneeling here?"
After Sun Guangyou and other civil servants arrived, they also asked about these people.
At this time, one hundred people replied: "Of course I have come to ask Mr. Hai to withdraw the emperor's troops to the capital, so as not to make the land of Wu uneasy forever."
"This court will convey your appeals on your behalf and make decisions for you!"
Sun Guangyou said and entered the governor's office.
"As your parent officer, I will naturally do the same."
Li Yi also said something.
The people naturally thanked them one after another, but they never expected that these officials would care so much about the feelings of the people.
….
Not long after, Sun Guangyou, Lu Huo, Li Wei, Li Yi, Tian Le and other civil servants met Hai Rui.
When Sun Guangyou saw Hai Rui, he handed over his hand and asked directly: "Does the Ministry really intend to let this turmoil continue?!"
"Mindang, you must have heard the voices of the people outside. Regardless of whether the pro-military guards of the National Taxation Department are unjustly accused or not, the current situation is obviously that the civil unrest will not end unless the pro-military guards withdraw to the capital. That's it. , I don’t know how many ordinary people will suffer! And I don’t know how much unrest will happen.”
Li already started talking and said: "There are young radical scholars and fierce people who have kidnapped the subordinates and brought them to Chongzheng Academy, saying that they want the Wu people to self-govern and set up a separate discussion bureau! If this continues, I'm afraid it will really happen." Someone is revolting!"
Lu Hao also suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise and said: "I know that the department is determined to innovate and loves the people like a son. But now that the situation has reached this point, we can only choose one or the other. Please make a decision quickly!" "
Li Yi and Tian Le also wanted to say more, but Hai Rui waved his hand and said, "I'm just waiting for you to come. It's not that we don't want to follow public opinion, but that we shoulder the heavy responsibility of implementing the New Deal. If only one person in this hall Due to the great resistance among the people, a large number of pro-military guard girls who have engaged in rape and robbery, and even a large number of civil commotions, Shangshu asked the court to end the new policy of canceling preferential exemptions. I am afraid that the Yuan Fuhui will not believe it and think that the court is too afraid to do so. Therefore, I have to wait for you all to come back together to discuss the matter with this church, and make it clear that the resistance to implementing the new policy is indeed beyond our control.
Beyond imagination. "
"So, the Ministry is willing to ask the imperial court to withdraw the imperial guards and return to the capital?"
Sun Guangyou asked happily.
Hai Rui nodded.
"Then we are willing to go to Shu!"
"But in order to completely quell the people's anger, we have to imprison a few pro-military guard officers who are suspected of bullying the people, so that the people can see the attitude of the government!"
At this time, Sun Guangyou agreed without hesitation and made suggestions.
Hai Rui said: "Then put Qi Jin into prison, and Yin Li Gong of Yingtian Mansion will send someone to temporarily take him to Yingtian Mansion Prison!"
"Budang, don't you believe in our close military guards?!"
At this time, many close soldiers came out of the general school, led by Luo Shanggong, Wang Rulong and others. They all clenched their iron fists and looked at Hai Rui with splitting eyes.
Sun Guangyou and other civil servants looked at Hai Rui and Hu Shouren in fear.
"Of course I believe it!"
"But you are the emperor's own soldiers, and you need to worry about the common people of the country."
Hai Rui was not afraid and spoke loudly, then stood up and said, "So execute the order!"
At this time, Hu Shouren also walked out from Hai Rui and asked in a cold voice: "What, do you have to do it in accordance with military law?! Are you going to be like the rebels outside who are pretending to be us?!"
"Get back!"
Hu Shouren then drew his sword and shouted.
These generals finally endured their anger and retreated.
So, not long after, Qi Jin was kidnapped.
Qi Jin had no choice but to struggle and shout: "Bu Tang, I am unjust in my humble position. No strong woman in my humble position has done anything to Ge Erya, nor has I killed Ge Dahai!"
Hai Rui only said: "The court will give you justice."
Soon, Qi Jin was taken to the prison of Yingtian Mansion and temporarily imprisoned.
Hai Rui, together with Sun Guangyou and others, also jointly submitted a petition asking the imperial court to transfer Jinwu Guards from the National Taxation Department back to the capital to assuage public dissatisfaction.
After the meeting, Lu Kun and Tang Chuanxun broke into Hai Rui's study. Lu Kun walked directly to Hai Rui and asked in a bad tone:
"Why did the club suddenly compromise?!"
"Where is the Haibijia who used to carry a coffin to admonish you and have been upright for more than 20 years?!"
