Relations in the palace?
This matter is so ambiguous that even a dazed young man like Wang Tingxiang would not completely ignore it.
"What's the relationship in the palace?"
Zhou Ruile had to hand over the problem, so he told everything he knew in one breath, "The day before yesterday, General Mo led people to Qingtian. That place was originally a military camp, but after changing hands several times, it is now owned by the Shen family of Pingguangji. As for the private land, the Shen family has a land deed and a survey seal issued by the government when purchasing the land, plus they have connections in the palace, so their attitude is very tough."
Put this way, it does seem complicated.
Zhang Cong frowned, "Is there someone who sold the general in the village privately?"
"That's right." Zhou Rui nodded, "The person who sold the land was the former Baihu Liu Chong, who should have died on the battlefield. Let's not mention this. The key is the person who bought the land. Mrs. Shen felt that she had paid for it. , and it was purchased at market price. Now the government wants to take it back like this, and no one will be willing to do so."
This is a problem.
But things like truth depend on how people say it. Even if it is black, it can be said to be white. Why are you still afraid of a land deed? Even if there is no good solution, just do a little research to see if Mr. Shen has committed any crime, and the matter can be solved. All he needs to do is act a little bit hooligan.
In the final analysis, does truth prevail, or does power prevail?
So the key lies in the relationship in that palace.
"Do you know what the relationship is in the palace?" Wang Shouren asked.
"I heard... that he is Concubine Shen Shu's cousin."
Concubine Shen Shu?
Well. . The lobby became even quieter.
"Are you sure?" Wang Shouren wanted to 'try his luck' again, "Could someone be counterfeiting?"
Zhou Rui shook his head cautiously, "Butang, this is a serious crime. If you find out, you will lose your head."
"It's Concubine Shen Shu who is in trouble." Wang Shouren introduced, "You may not know, after my father came to Beijing and was appointed as the Minister of Rites, all the rewards in the palace were handed over. There is indeed Concubine Shen Shu mentioned by Commander Zhou in the palace, and she is pregnant with Liujia. .”
Then this is not just a concubine, but also a prince.
If the emperor launches an attack at this time, what if Concubine Shen Shu is frightened and gets pregnant?
Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't even pass that test.
Zhang Cong did not dare to speak harshly anymore, "Your Majesty understands the difficulties we face as ministers, and ministers should also consider the difficulties faced by His Majesty. Commander Zhou, how many acres of land does this Pingguangji Shen family involve in total?"
"Ten days ago, there were only more than 6,000 acres. The day before yesterday, there were more than 40,000 acres."
"Why is there still more?" Zhang Cong stood up in shock, "Did you buy so much in this short period of time?"
Zhou Rui explained: “Emergency selling or listing, there are both situations.”
Wang Tingxiang immediately asked: "Who allowed him to buy it? When the land was measured and divided, Ningxia prohibited buying and selling. This is an explicit ban!"
This experience was learned during the division of Gyeonggi Province.
The government began to disrupt the land market. Some people who knew that their property had an unfair origin immediately contacted someone to sell it as soon as they received the news. Even if it was only half the original price, they could at least save some money and avoid being held accountable by the court.
As for whether anyone dares to buy it...it's impossible not to have it if the price is low.
On the one hand, there are people with government connections. They are confident that nothing will happen to them when they receive it.
On the other hand, there are second-hand dealers. These people buy it at super low prices and then transfer it. This situation also exists.
Our common people are still very smart.
Therefore, this time Ningxia Town carried out such a thing again, it naturally learned a lesson, and the government's ban was issued early, and no buying and selling was allowed!
Zhou Rui doesn't know what to say, ban?
Cleaning up military camps is the biggest prohibition - an imperial edict. Doesn't Shen still dare to obstruct it?
"Zhongcheng, why don't we forget it this time." Zhou Rui also saw everyone's embarrassment.
"No!" Wang Shouren immediately denied, "The more it involves the palace, we must be careful in handling it. Ping Guangji represents Concubine Shen Shu, and Concubine Shen Shu represents the palace. If we ignore the prohibition and do whatever we want, it will be bad. The reputation in the palace. Which of us can afford this relationship?"
"But..." Zhou Rui said in distress.
Wang Tingxiang agreed, "Brother Bo'an is right, this matter must not be ignored. But it is really inappropriate to report to His Majesty and embarrass His Majesty. How about... Why don't I write a letter to Mr. Ge and ask Mr. Ge to reconcile tactfully?" Your Majesty expresses it.”
Wang Shouren shook his head, "Yang Ge is always the chief minister of the cabinet. He said this, how do you want your majesty to express his position? Let my father convey it on his behalf. My father is the Minister of Rites. He has a way to get around the topic of Concubine Shen Shu with your majesty. All he needs to do is give a little hint. , with your Majesty’s wisdom, you will be able to understand it.”
It is a very smart approach to imply that this approach gives both parties room to maneuver.
Wang Tingxiang couldn't help but sigh, it was a good thing he kept Wang Bo'an for a few days, his resourcefulness was truly unparalleled, it's no wonder the emperor favored him so much.
Now that it was settled, Wang Shouren had no better way, so he immediately said: "I will write a letter right now. However, Wang Zhongcheng still has Zhou Commander, Ping Guangji, Shen's land purchase, or letting people rely on him, etc. All actions must be stopped.”
Zhou Rui couldn't understand, "Why is this?"
Wang Shouren narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Unless we don't dare to bring it to His Majesty's side, unless it's a matter of life or something ordinary, how dare they bring it to Concubine Shen Shu? Even if they did, Concubine Shen Shu would dare to do it for the smallest thing. Are you talking to the emperor? Your Majesty is not a monarch who favors the harem and ignores state affairs. Who knows this? Since the Zhengde Dynasty, has there been any domineering behavior by relatives during the Hongzhi period? Are those people aware of the general situation? How is it possible? It must be Your Majesty Controlled.
The reason why I want you two to stop Shen is because if we don't do this, if Shen acts more unscrupulously and everyone else follows suit, this will ruin the overall situation of Qingtun in Ningxia and the current situation will be irreversible. Why, Your Majesty wants Long Yan to be furious. "
As soon as Wang Shouren said these words, there was a certain IQ gap between him and the other people present.
He can consider such a difficult matter impartially, and the solution he comes up with is neither humble nor arrogant. Who can do it if he is not a very clear-minded person?
Qiu Yue could not help but straighten his back a little, as if he was proud of himself: Look, this is our Mr. Wang!
"Congratulations, Brother Bo'an!" Wang Tingxiang stood up and held his hands in his hands, saying with some admiration.
"where."
Zhou Rui felt more at ease. No matter what, the boss could come up with an idea so that the people under him could know how to operate. "Xie Butang gave me some advice, and the general will understand how to do it! Zhongcheng, apart from this matter, There are no thorny issues here. The rest that the general can handle have been dealt with."
"Yes." Wang Tingxiang was still satisfied, and then turned his attention to the Ningxia guard and the commander of the Jinglu guard, "There shouldn't be anyone in the Jinglu guard who has anything to do with the palace, right?"
The commander of the Jinglu Guard has not been changed. This person’s name is Xiang Sixiao. The changes in Ningxia Town in the past few days have frightened him. He stood up with a respectful face, "When I return to Zhongcheng, the land of the Jinglu Guard is barren. High-ranking officials would not choose Jinglu Guards when they invade, so it is basically an internal problem."
"The internal problems are your problems, and you are responsible for solving them."
Xiang Sixiao sternly said, "General, I understand! I will fully cooperate with the imperial court in cleaning up the military camps!"
This time the imperial court would rather deploy troops from Shuofang Town to suppress it, but it must implement this policy. Even though there was still some confusion at the beginning, after killing so many people, many things can actually be seen clearly, so there is really no need for him Continue to resist.
After all, killing one more of him wouldn't be a big deal.
The former commander-in-chief and commander are now gone. So what, with a decree from the imperial court, someone immediately filled these gaps.
"How to cooperate?" Zhang Cong asked.
Xiang Sixiao was a little nervous, "The last general, the last general... must follow the superior's instructions and implement them exactly."
"Don't make these false. Is there anyone in the Jinglu Guards who is unwilling to hand over the land? Is there anyone who conceals the occupation of the land? Is there anyone who sells the land and associates it with others? Commander Xiang, the Jinyi Guards are here, please be careful what you say."
"Back to my boss, these... are also available."
"What about these people?"
"The last general, the last general is handling it."
This thing has come around again, and the question is how to deal with it.
"Those people are your cronies?" Zhang Cong asked with raised eyebrows.
Xiang Sixiao suddenly panicked, "No! Absolutely not! The general has absolutely nothing to do with those people!"
"Okay, Commander Xiang's words are good. Tomorrow I will go to Jinglu Guards with Commander Xiang. His Majesty has issued several imperial edicts on this matter. These people Commander Xiang mentioned will be handed over to me, who will report to the court. Punish!"
No matter what tricks Xiang Sixiao had, it would be difficult to come up with this method.
Moreover, the imperial envoy will follow him back, and he will be under surveillance along the way to prevent him from looking for someone to blame him again.
So he could only bite the bullet and reply: "Yes."
The fact that Jingluwei was not affected means that there are some people hiding inside. If they are not cured, problems will easily arise in the future.
Zhang Cong had this in mind.
Wang Tingxiang did not object and asked the last person, "How is the Ningxia defender?"
Click.
A twenty-seven-year-old commander with an upright face stood in a standard military posture and said very concisely, "Reporting to Wang Zhongcheng, the Ningxia rear guard currently has 4184 sergeants, and the supposed garrison area is 2800 hectares, and the actual garrison area is 2432 hectares. There are more than 62,000 stones of grain in stock. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to grant another three days of grace. I have captured the people who resisted the order. In three days, the Ningxia defenders will be able to secure enough acres of land!"
This person is very capable and powerful. Especially when looking at the three people in front of him, the contrast is even more obvious.
Qiu Yue also raised his head and glanced at this tall and tall man. His hands were a little itchy. This subordinate could find opportunities to learn from each other in the future.
"What's your name?" Wang Tingxiang asked.
"The last general's surname is Ma, and his single name has the character Bin."
"Okay. Is there no trouble with the Ningxia defender?"
Ma Bin put his hands together and said, "Yes. So Ningxia's defenders only have more than 4,100 people."
"It doesn't matter, the imperial army has sufficient pay, and I will make up for the few men you have." Wang Tingxiang stood up, "Everyone can be honest today, and I think it is very effective. From today on, the four guards of Ningxia must complete the division of farmland. After one month , I will personally inspect it!"
"yes!"
