No matter from any aspect, Zhang Juzheng has tried his best. The land of Xu Jie must be returned if not returned.

Xu Jie put down his hand slightly dejectedly, and the letter slipped from his hand. He bent down and picked up the letter. If the court wanted his land, it was killing him!

"You go too far, you go too far! In the end, I fell into the hands of my own students!"

"Zhang Juzheng, it was in vain that I wasted the time to preach and gain my knowledge and resolve your doubts. It was in vain that I wasted the time to bring you into Prince Yu's palace. You actually did this to me!"

"That Gao Gong's pursuit of me is not as vicious as yours! He made those accusations just to force me to not return the favor. You are trying to kill me with this array! You are going to kill me!" Xu Jie held the letter in his hand and his expression became particularly fierce.

Tian is his life. Without Tian, ​​Xu Jie would not be Mr. Xu. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in Songjiang Mansion, no one would listen to his words!

He wants to protect his field and no one can get involved!

Xu Jie picked up the pen and planned to write a letter to the capital. Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan, began to study ink at the side, but Xu Jie picked up the pen, was silent for a long time, and then put it down.

"Father?" Xu Fan looked at his father's hesitant expression and said solemnly: "Why did father stop writing? This is a matter of life and death for our family!"

"Who can I write to?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan with his head half stretched out and said with dull eyes: "Should I write to Zhang Juzheng? When Hai Rui came back to court, it was Zhang Juzheng who took charge of the matter. I drove Lu Shusheng away from the court, and then asked Chen Tang to impeach Dong Chuance, just to tell all my disciples and former officials that they cannot be involved in this matter."

"Otherwise, Dong Chuance would be their fate. Corruption? Corruption was still a crime during the Hongwu period. Can it still be considered a crime today?"

"Since Jiajing, the government has been governed by bribes, and the officials and the people have been anointed to please the powerful!"

"All government orders are made due to bribery. Without corruption, nothing can be done. Qi Jiguang is great, Yu Dayou is great, why don't they have to show their respect? Where does the money come from? Officials and local governments are all swindling people's fat and anointing in order to be attached to them. Powerful person!"

"And those who follow the country are engaged in all kinds of appeasement policies. They have accumulated a lot of grievances and it is difficult to return. The world has become private and annexed. Private households are getting richer, public offices are getting poorer, the country is poor and the people are poor. This is the real disease!"

"I don't know? Who in the world is not greedy! Zhang Juzheng himself is greedy, doesn't he accept filial piety?"

Xu Fan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Hai Rui?"

"Hai Rui is indeed not greedy." Xu Jie seemed to be choked. In this world, there are indeed officials who are not greedy. Hai Rui, Hai Gangfeng, is indeed an upright official. He is so honest that everyone thinks that Hai Rui is not greedy. It was pleasing to the eye, and Hai Rui was in court, making everyone uncomfortable.

Xu Jie's resentful expression became fierce again, and he said sternly: "My son, this corruption is actually easy to manage. If you take out the ancestral law, if you want to steal fifty taels of silver, you will peel off the skin, remove the grass, and set it up in the Tutu Temple." Here, let the people applaud, who dares to be corrupt? But this corruption has been prevalent for more than a hundred years."

"Do you know what the biggest problem with corruption is?"

Xu Fan frowned. This bribery has destroyed the Ming Dynasty's official administration. Is there anything more terrifying than this? He asked doubtfully: "What is it?"

Xu Jie sneered and said: "The disadvantages of bribery are easy to cure, but the disadvantages of appeasement are difficult to stop. Why?"

"Bribery in government is just about punishing corruption with force."

"As for the government of appeasement, it relies on the law for personal gain and enriches itself. The emperor appeases the officials in the capital, the officials in the capital appease the local officials, the local officials appease the officials and wealthy merchants, and the officials appease the gentry; the emperor protects his relatives with the Eight Councils , the noble relatives colluded with the officials to support the small and wealthy businessmen!"

"If the upper side loses, the lower side will benefit. The private family will become richer, and the public family will become poorer. If the private family is strong, the public family will be weak. The country will be poor and the people will be poor. This is a great disadvantage in the world. In-laws, teachers, fellow villagers, and classmates are all just benefits. It’s just for profit.”

"I don't know? Of course I know, but how can we eradicate this huge evil in the world? You are in the middle of me, and you are in the middle of me. There is no way to deal with it!"

“If the disadvantages of appeasement are not eliminated, how can the disadvantages of bribery be cured?”

"In this world, kings and ministers, fathers and sons, human relationships are complicated. How can a fish leave the water when it is in the water? All officials in the world are involved in the situation, so how can they get out of the five elements? How can we get rid of the disadvantages of appeasement? If it can be eliminated, can I leave Zhang Juzheng with this incredible contribution?"

Xu Fan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Zhang Juzheng?"

"Ah? It seems..." Xu Jie was choked again, looking a little lonely.

The letter in his hand was a letter from his student asking him to return the land. The words were so strong that if Xu Jie refused or something happened, Zhang Juzheng would definitely not be merciful.

This posture, except for the disadvantages of appeasement, has been since Xu Jie...

The corner of Xu Jie's mouth twitched twice. Is his son here to make him angry or to help him come up with ideas?

Xu Jie's expression changed a bit, his eyes became dark and unclear, and he said solemnly: "A government order is easy to break. My son, do you know how to break this government order?"

Xu Fan read the letter again, shook his head and said, "I don't know, please ask father to clarify."

Xu Jie stood up suddenly and said with some certainty: "If you are too hasty, the people will flee and become chaotic!"

"Husband, when the people flee and cause chaos in the country, they are all stripped off by corrupt officials without any support from their superiors; when powerful forces merge with them, the people become poor and lose their land; now they are invading and occupying the country; they are powerful and powerful people, not petty ones. People;"

"What does that mean?"

"The reason why the people are fleeing and rioting is because the corrupt officials tolerated the gentry's expropriation, while the higher-ups did not provide any compensation, and the powerful annexed the people. The people lost their land due to poverty and became homeless. Today, those who have occupied acres of land are They are powerful, powerful and wealthy, not ordinary people."

"Isn't Zhang Juzheng going to take over my land? I'll give it back!"

"Not only will I return it myself, I will also gather all the powerful people in Nannan District to return it together! When the time comes, there will be a lot of discussion and rumors will spread, and the law of returning farmland will be called the law of mine field. Then we will see who dares to carry out the return of farmland. decree!"

"I still don't believe it. There are still people who can survive this method."

Xu Fan thought for a moment and realized that his father was indeed his father. He seemed to be unable to find anyone who could defeat this trick.

This is double the execution!

Xu Jie had already thought about it. He returned the land and returned it all to the government office.

Then they went around to spread the word, so that the powerful people in Quannan Yamen could see their miserable situation and make them feel sad. Then they made noises everywhere, saying that the imperial court had taken over Xu Jie's fields, and tomorrow they would take over Nannan. The government office has a powerful and powerful field!

When the time comes to form a joint force and make noise, then Wang Daokun will return the fields no matter how hard he harvests!

Xu Fan was about to speak, but the concierge ran in at a loss, pointed outside, and said breathlessly: "Master, the envoy in yellow is here. He is almost here. He said there is an imperial edict!"

Yu Dayou's southern soldiers have arrived. He took three thousand southern soldiers to escort the imperial edict to the tall Taishi Tower.

Banners were fluttering, and there were crowds of people. Everyone was carrying hooks, sickles, swords, muskets and second-class bows on their backs. Their armors were placed on the carts, ready to fight in armor at any time. These southern soldiers were all direct descendants of Qi Jiguang. This time from Ji Zhen directly took half of it to Yu Dayou to stabilize Songjiang Mansion. Qi Jiguang sent Nan Bing to Songjiang Mansion without any hesitation.

The soldiers trained by Qi Jiguang were always soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"The imperial edict has arrived!" Two small yellow doors opened the two-foot-long imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Prince and Grand Master Xu Jie receives the edict."

Xu Jie took Xu Fan and his family with him. When he saw this battle, he was shocked. He knew that Yu Dayou was still going south, but he didn't know that Yu Dayou still brought so many soldiers and horses!

Three thousand sharp soldiers can plow the Japanese pirates from Songjiang Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture again!

This was obviously a plan to kill Xu Jie's entire family if he didn't return the land!

"I accept the order." Xu Jie kneeled on the ground with his family, old and young.

Zhang Cheng took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict says:"

"I heard that there was Mr. Xu in Huating. He was a man of strong temperament, outstanding talents and wide-ranging knowledge, good at both civil and military affairs, and a distinguished voice. At that time, the strict party and the traitors were in the government. When the country was in danger, he devoted his heart and soul to ensure the safety of the country. Our country, at home and abroad, relies on tranquility, and our hearts are filled with peace of mind."

"However, all the Ming Dukes in the court said that Hu Xiangmaoyu was dead, and the court was full of debates, and all the princes rushed over it."

"At that time, the country was in turmoil, with the northern and western captives knocking at the pass, and the Japanese pirates in the southeast warring for thousands of miles. The country was about to be broken into pieces, and the heaven and earth were in danger of falling. Xiangmao served the country loyally, was powerful in resisting the Japanese, and had the merit of pacifying the thieves and stabilizing the country. He was the pillar of the country in the southeast. When the sky in the southeast stopped and the earth fell, the Ming Dynasty discussed Xiangmao's merits and demerits, and he was able to clear the snow, restore Shaobao, give him an official burial, and give him the posthumous title of Xiangmao."

"Xu Gong has the merit of being the master of Chenji, and Xiangmao has the merit of pacifying the thieves and bringing peace to the country."

"I'm so confused."

"Yuan Fu made a policy to return Xu Gong to the land to stop the criticism in the court. The imperial court has the virtue of nurturing the elderly with honor and honor. The ancestors had the law of nurturing scholars. Xu Gong became an official as the prince and grand master. He was promoted to the first rank and treated the elders with the first grade. Prosperously raise and cultivate thousands of acres of fertile land to show the favor and honor of the court."

"When the decree arrives, it is up to the commander to carry it out."

"The edict is issued to the world, and the envoys will know it."

"Appreciate this."

After Zhang Cheng finished reading the imperial edict, Xu Jie understood the meaning of the edict and his face was ashen.

The imperial edict first contained a lot of praise, and then talked about the matter of rehabilitating Hu Zongxian. If Hu Zongxian was redressed and Hu Zongxian was wronged, the person who created the unjust case and killed Hu Zongxian unjustly, Xu Jie, must be held accountable.

Ge Shouli told Wu Dui that Wu Dui was treated very well in the prison, with good food, good drinks, and good service, and not even a snake or insect. He just didn't agree with Xu Jie's approach. At least Gao Gong didn't throw Xu Jie into the cell. Starving to death, Yang Bo did not throw his political opponents into prison, and Zhang Juzheng did not pursue Gao Gong excessively in the case of assassinating the king and killing Jia Jia.

Ge Shouli did not look down on Xu Jie. When Hu Zongxian died unjustly, all the Yan Shifan people in the small pavilion were beheaded in public. Yan Song also left the capital. Hu Zongxian even lived at home for more than two years and never thought about getting back together. In this sense, before Hu Zongxian was unjustly killed, he had already died politically and was a harmless character.

Ge Shouli didn't approve of Xu Jie's pursuit, and neither did most of the court officials.

The imperial edict means that the court is also in a dilemma. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so it is naturally very confusing.

In order to quell the criticism in the court, Xu Jie's small and slightly deviant mistakes were corrected, which can be regarded as calming the public anger.

Money is something external to the body. If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. Confucian students are righteous, and they are ashamed of talking about profit. If they have some frivolous wealth, they should just waste it to eliminate disasters!

They are nice words to say, but in the final analysis they are just two words: return the land.

Xu Jie's plan failed again. The imperial court asked him to return the land, promoted his official rank, and left him 10,000 acres of fertile land to support his family. If everyone's land is to be wiped out in vain, the powerful right-wingers must also believe it.

Zhang Juzheng's combination of punches was so perfect that Xu Jie didn't even have a chance to fight back. If he surrenders now, he can still get 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is definitely enough for the Xu family.

If Xu Jie refused to return the land, the matter would never be that simple. Zhang Juzheng agreed that Yu Dayou came to Songjiang Mansion, but he was already murderous. If he didn't return the land, he would go on a killing spree, because there were still 70,000 hectares of land needed to occupy Changtian. Deal with it, if Xu Jie doesn’t return the land, the entire Nanya won’t return the land!

Wang Daokun, who had a grudge against Xu Jie and called Xu Jie Qin Hui, was right in front of him.

Xu Jie had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Wang Daokun would still remember the grudges of the past and take away his 10,000 acres of land when the law was enforced!

In this way, it is not impossible for Wang Daokun to be accused of excessive law enforcement and stir up public opinion.

To double the execution, Xu Jie does not necessarily have to do it himself. Wang Daokun, who is executing the decree, can also double the execution!

When Wang Daokun saw the Xu family, young and old, all stood up, he went up to them with smiles on their faces, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, long time no see. I still remember how high-spirited Mr. Xu was when he was in power. See you today." , Mr. Xu’s sword is not old yet, and his style is still as good as before!”

"Xu Gong, look at our sergeants traveling a long distance, do you want to temporarily arrange a place to stay?"

Xu Jie said desperately: "It's easy to talk about."

Wang Daokun made up his mind to occupy 240,000 acres of land, not one acre too much, not one acre too little. He only wanted 230,000 acres, and he had no intention of doubling the amount.

Wang Daokun had a grudge against Xu Jie, and he really wanted to see Xu Jie suffer misfortune.

Wang Daokun has been working for Hu Zongxian for several years. Now that Hu Zongxian can be rehabilitated and can discuss his merits and demerits, Wang Daokun was very drunk that night. When he was drunk, he burst into tears. He hugged the pillar and pretended to be Hu Zongxian, telling the grievances he felt in his heart over the years.

Hu Zongxian was Wang Daokun's robe and fellow countryman who killed the enemy. We worked together for twelve years to pacify the Japanese. However, Hu Zongxian was unjustly killed in prison. Wang Daokun was so angry that he wished he could eat Xu Jie. Digging out Xu Jie's heart and drinking Xu Jie's blood!

But the reality is that it is already very difficult to rehabilitate Hu Zongxian. Wang Daokun clearly knows that the person to be investigated and prosecuted this time is the former chief minister of the cabinet.

If Wang Daokun pursues too much, it is really possible that the decree cannot be implemented because he is too eager to demand it.

Xu Jie, a veteran official in the officialdom, spent twenty years of forbearance to completely defeat the vicious villain of the Yan Party. Wang Daokun knew very well that he was no match for Xu Jie.

Yuan Fu still has to deal with this kind of person.

Mr. Yuan Fu has made careful arrangements, and Wang Daokun is not going to mess around, causing the return of the land to fail this time.

Wang Daokun already knows what he is going to do in Songjiang Mansion this time! The Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department is the long-term policy of the country, and he will not undermine the policy of North Korea and China just because of his own selfish interests.

Therefore, when Wang Daokun came forward, he smiled all over his face, pretending to be coy, and showed an attitude that he didn't want to, but His Majesty had an imperial edict and the court had public discussions, and he, Wang Daokun, had no choice but to carry it out.

I hate him to death in my heart, but I laugh and laugh on the outside. This is the basic quality of a affairs officer.

Xu Jie's servants began to pack their things. The Jinzeyuan villa was also among the occupied and retreated acres. Xu Jie could no longer live here.

Yu Dayou, Wang Daokun, and Zhang Cheng were all polite, but they did the most ruthless things, watching as the servants took away all the belongings of Xu Jie in the large villa of Jin Zeyuan, leaving nothing behind.

Xu Jie stood in front of the Grand Master's Tower, feeling extremely sad. Zhang Juzheng's methods were beyond compare! Zhang Juzheng was the apprentice that Xu Jie brought out hand in hand!

Zhang Juzheng was about to deal with Xu Jie, but Xu Jie had no room to fight back.

Now it is Zhang Juzheng's country, and the power is in Zhang Juzheng's hands. Xu Jie is so cautious in dealing with him, how should Xu Jie deal with it!

Xu Fan looked at Wang Daokun, was silent for a long time and said, "Father, you just said, who can conquer such a powerful method? You see, there is an imperial edict..."

"Where are you standing! Where are you standing?! Are you sincerely angry with me! Aren't you!" Xu Jie was furious. He picked up his cane and was about to hit Xu Fan. Xu Fan turned around and ran away. Father and son, you chase me. After rushing for a while, it finally stopped.

"Father, it's useless for you to hit me. That Wang Daokun is my father's enemy. When my father was in power, he wrote a memorial with such fierce words that he wished he could eat our father and son. The way he looks today must be when Yuan Fu asked him to come. , I just mentioned a few points, and the pros and cons are all clearly explained, none of us can beat Gao Gong, let alone Zhang Juzheng."

"Father, let's surrender." Xu Fan supported the table and looked at Xu Jie to persuade him to surrender.

Xu Fan saw Xu Jie's expression relaxed and continued: "With the last letter of thanks, the court knew that we were respectful, and maybe it would give us some benefits. After all, Yingtian, the governor of Songyang Mountain, had to investigate and clear up the occupation. You still need us to appease the Jin gentry of Nanya."

"If he wants my life, should I stick my neck out?!" Xu Jie said still very stubbornly: "This is not Tian, ​​this is my life!"

Xu Fan was silent for a moment and said, "But father, didn't Zhang Juzheng leave us thousands of acres of fertile land?"

Zhang Juzheng has really exhausted all his benevolence and righteousness. The general trend of the court is that under the influence of rectifying Hu Zongxian's name and granting him a posthumous title, Zhang Juzheng was able to preserve Xu Jie's little reputation and ten thousand acres of fertile land. This is already extremely merciful. Zhang Juzheng's evil will definitely be repaid. If Zhang Juzheng refuses to obey his temper, will Zhang Juzheng still be so gentle if he takes action again?

Xu Jie knew clearly that it wouldn't be the case.

When faced with double the odds, we can only deal with one or two by speaking with facts, seeking truth from facts, and cooperating with severe punishments.

"My disciple is better than me." Xu Jie sighed. When he was in court, Xu Jie couldn't beat Gao Gong, let alone Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Jie chased the remnants of Yan Song and his son, and brought about the unjust case of Hu Zongxian, which hurt the good people. He immediately fell into passivity. Gao Gong caught the opportunity and chased and beat him fiercely. In the end, Xu Jie had to fight nine times in a row. The Taoist memorial led him to return home as an official.

And now Zhang Juzheng is also cleaning up the remnants of Gao Gong and the Xinzheng Party, such as the Jin Party. Isn't Zhang Juzheng's action ruthless enough? But from beginning to end, Zhang Juzheng never caused anything like Hu Zongxian's unjust case to divide people's hearts, leaving him in absolute passivity.

Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong has been waiting for Hehe. He waited for Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and finally Zhang Juzheng, who had His Majesty's support, passed away. This was the last moment Duke Cheng Guo wanted to promote him. The reason for Qi Jiguang.

Duke Cheng Guo knew that he had found harmony.

Xu Fan read the imperial edict again, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. He hurriedly came over and said: "Father, this imperial edict is written by His Majesty himself. Look here, when the edict arrives, it will be carried out by the commander. This sentence is obviously written by a ten-year-old man." Written by a child…”

The child's handwriting, due to writing experience, can actually be seen at a glance. Most of the contents of the imperial edict were drafted by Zhang Juzheng. Only the last sentence, "When the edict arrives, you will execute it immediately," the handwriting is completely different.

The Supervisor of Ceremonies could modify the imperial edict drafted by the cabinet at his discretion, and then send it back to the cabinet to draft it again, but the only person who could write on the written imperial edict was the emperor himself.

"Huh? Sigh." Xu Jie looked at it, finally sighed, waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it."

With the imperial power backed by the imperial power, what can Xu Jie fight against?

Xu Jie motioned to his son to follow Wang Daokun and deal with the matter of returning the land bit by bit.

He stood at the door of the Kanze Garden Villa, took one last look at his home, and chose to leave. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do so.

"Yu Shuai, what do you think Xu Jie is thinking at this time?" Wang Daokun stood on the second floor of the Taishi Building, watching the Xu family's moving car drive away, and said with a frown.

Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "It's not repentance anyway. Xu Jie is a person who knows the major shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, but he knowingly commits the crime and knows that it is wrong to do so, but he does it anyway."

"Let's go to the city first. You see, something will happen to Xu Jie and he will hinder the 14th Nanya Prefecture from cleaning up the occupation. He is not willing to give up. Look at his reluctant expression. He is not willing to give up. He is not willing to give up. Looking at the Taishi Tower, how can we be willing to do so?"

"It's okay. I still have a few good years to live, waiting for him."

Yu Dayou clenched the Emperor's Sword in his hand. The little emperor sincerely hoped that Yu Dayou, this dragon, could hold up the sky in the southeast.

Yu Dayou used the sword in his hand to hold up the sky for His Majesty!

Wang Daokun said with a smile: "That's right. Yu Shuai is recruiting homeless tenants to join the army as military households. This is really a bit troublesome."

"It is difficult for you scholar-bureaucrats to deal with the common people, but it is not the case for us southern soldiers." Yu Dayou said with a smile: "When we were pacifying the Japanese, we wanted to know where the Japanese pirates were and asked the scouts. The scouts might not know, but the common people did. Very clear.”

"No trouble, just need to spread the news. I, Yu Dayou, am recruiting troops to Pinghai in Songjiang Mansion. I will recruit them all in a few days."

Yu Dayou wants to recruit homeless tenants to become military households in the military garrison. This is a practical job, but Yu Dayou's golden signboard of fighting against the Japanese for many years is there. Yu Long went to Songjiang Prefecture and turned the tide, but there is still a lack of homeless tenants?

Isn't this why the emperor sent him, Yu Dayou?

A few days later, the commander hurried into the Jinzeyuan villa, found Yu Dayou, handed over a pond newspaper, bowed his head and said: "Yu Shuai! Twelve groups of bandits and two groups of Japanese pirates were discovered in Songjiang Mansion!"

"Send out scouts to investigate, find out clearly, prepare to suppress the bandits and pacify the Japanese!" Yu Dayou stood up after reading the Tang newspaper.

When pacifying the Japanese, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and other southern soldiers had an effective way to win over the people as quickly as possible, which was to suppress the bandits and pacify the Japanese.

These small groups of thieves and Japanese pirates are the executioners who most directly harm the people. If you kill them, you can gain the support of the people. With the support of the people, everything can be done with advance and retreat, food and wages, and investigation.

Yu Dayou is old, but he is still good at doing his old job.

Thirteen days later, Yu Dayou's southern troops set out. In just three days, they defeated 14 bandit dens and four water forts. They killed more than 300 levels and captured more than 2,300 people. It shocked Songjiang Mansion!

The entire Nanya heard about Yu Dayou's victory, and for a while they didn't dare to take action. Yu Long, who had fought against the Japanese in the southeast and made them afraid to invade, led his troops again!

As for the captives, they will all do hard labor, and all the dirty and tiring work will be done by the captives.

"Father, please don't cause trouble! Look how fierce this Yu Long is. It only took him seventeen days to clear out the bandits' den and water village that had been entrenched in Songjiang Mansion for decades. Not even a hair is left! This is too cruel."

"If we insist on causing trouble, one day Yu Long's ax will come to us, and we will be safe?!" Xu Fan was really scared.

Xu Fan knew how powerful the bandits and Japanese pirates were in Songjiang Prefecture. On the seventeenth day, Yu Dayou cleaned up all the mess, and the people applauded.

Just by using some cunning means, Yu Dayou was taken care of, and Qi Jiguang was still in the court. When the Ming army went south, not a single one of Xu Jie's family, old and young, could escape.

"I would like to thank His Majesty for his grace." Xu Jie waved his hand and signaled Xu Fan to write a letter of thanks. At that time, Xu Fan was also serving in the court and built the Yongshou Palace for Emperor Jiajing. A memorial of thanks was written. Xu Fan can still write well.

When Zhu Yijun received the good news from Xie Enshu and Yu Dayou from Xu Jie, he showed a knowing smile. Yu Long was indeed Yu Long.

"It's not that Zhang Yuanfu is clever, this Xu Jie must have caused a lot of trouble, but Yu Shuai is still awesome." Zhu Yijun took two memorials and said cheerfully to Zhang Hong, Yu Dayou is very awesome and did not disappoint him, Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department The newly built navy was handed over to Yu Dayou, and it turned out that he was right.

Zhang Hong bowed his head and said: "Yu Long and Qi Hu are the two great generals of the Ming Dynasty and Japan, and we rely on them for many things in the southeast."

"Hu Zongxian's unjust case can only be traced to this point. I am very unhappy. I am very unhappy." Zhu Yijun stamped the two memorials and wrote on Xu Jie's thank you note: I know. In Yu Dayou's On the good news, it was written: I am very happy.

Zhu Yijun said quite accurately: "Zhang Hong, just like the powerful people in Liyang County, Suzhou Prefecture, who invaded farmland, please make a note of it for me. I will have to deal with this matter one day."

The little emperor's heart is smaller than the tip of a needle.

Zhang Hong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, how could Xu Jie not cause trouble? Let him return the fields, but cut his flesh and drink his blood. He sees that the situation is no longer there, so he returns the fields and lives a better life. , he is still going to make trouble, I think it won’t take too long.”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "It's best this way!"

Zhang Hong bowed his head and said: "The darkroom your Majesty requested has been prepared."

"Tomorrow." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and said, "Go to bed early and get up early to grow taller. I'm tired, go to sleep!"

Zhu Yijun also had a busy day, including court meetings, giving banquets, practicing martial arts, inspecting the capital camp, being on duty at Baoqi Division, stamping memorials, and reading agricultural books. He was really busy from morning to night. For more than half a year, he lost weight It has dropped from 103 pounds to 85 pounds.

Winter is coming, and the cold wind is like a knife blowing across the land of the capital, rolling up loess all over the sky, and the dust is flying. It is approaching the winter solstice, and the weather is getting colder. Zhu Yijun specially issued an order to open the side hall of the Wenhua Palace to let everyone Obviously, the princes went to the side hall to wait for the court meeting, but they were frozen outside.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty bowing well?" The ministers greeted each other.

"I am safe, I am in peace, and I am in a very good mood. Within three days of arriving at Songjiang Prefecture, Yu Shuai conquered the Eighteenth Village and wiped out all the bandits and Japanese pirates on the ground in Songjiang. I am very happy to hear this. Mr. Yuanfu, please be kind to me." I appreciate the imperial edict and praise my merits." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said in a very happy mood.

Is there anything more beautiful in the world than winning a battle?

"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng received the decree. He also received the Tang Bao yesterday. He also drafted the imperial edict and was waiting for the emperor to seal it.

Helping the emperor draft edicts was the first job of Wenyuan Pavilion. It was to act as the emperor's secretary and be responsible for daily paperwork. The chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion gradually became more powerful because it was at the pinnacle of ministerial power. The Wenyuan Pavilion's pavilion Lao, from the day I was able to put a floating stamp on the memorial, it was determined that it would become what it is today.

Because the floating ticket is part of the decision-making power.

Zhang Hong brought the edict drafted by Lu Tiaoyang to the desk. Zhu Yijun read it carefully, picked up the Wanli Treasure and covered it with it.

This edict is the official stereotype.

The general idea is: Yu Dayou's victory in the Eighteenth Battle of Songjiang Prefecture greatly shocked the powerful people in Nanya who were ready to move because Xu Jie returned the land, and completely destroyed the unrealistic idea that the local Jin gentry colluded with the bandits and Japanese pirates to resist the emperor's orders. The fantasy laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to clean up the occupied fields in Nanya, and fundamentally improved the sense of security of the people of Songjiang Prefecture. The court was very pleased, and the young emperor specially issued a decree to reward him.

"Let's start the court discussion, I'm going to read a book!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that the courtiers could start quarreling!

"Hai Zongxian, Mr. Xu has returned the land. Is this matter overdue? If he gets into trouble again, will we investigate again?" Zhang Juzheng first talked about Xu Jie's return to the land, and he wanted to settle the case first. .

Hai Rui naturally knew that Xu Jie had returned to the fields, and said with a smile: "If he doesn't cause trouble, and he and I have no grudges, we naturally won't hold on to him. If something happens to him, then It's not a quarrel with Hai Rui and me, but a conflict with Yuan Fu. When the time comes, it will naturally be Yuan Fu's turn to deal with him, and it won't be my turn."

The wonderful thing about this matter is that all the means to get Xu Jie to return his fields were all handled by Zhang Juzheng. If Xu Jie refused to return his fields and continued to look for trouble after returning his fields, he would have offended the chief minister of the dynasty. Naturally, Zhang Juzheng came forward to take care of him.

Hai Rui found that Zhang Juzheng's character was a typical one of doing nothing, making mistakes and making mistakes. If he wanted to do something, he would do it thoroughly and to the end.

There are still 70,000 hectares of farmland in Nanya, that is, 7 million acres of farmland waiting for the Qing Dynasty to invade. This drama has just begun.

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "That's it."

"Luo Gongchen submitted a memorial to reconsider the issue of points for foreign ships. Foreign ships come across the ocean and carry a lot of silver. The country has a whipping method, which requires a lot of silver. If foreign ships do not draw points, private households will become richer and public offices will become richer. Daily poverty."

"Let me tell you my opinion first."

Nanya continued to clean up and return farmland to the sixth year of Wanli, and it was completely completed, including the land of Xu Jie and his in-laws. In the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng passed away amidst the public's expectation, and those fields returned to the hands of the powerful people who had occupied them. A long sigh.
