The day after the banquet at the Wei Guogong Mansion.
The land measurement for Yingtian Mansion began...
Some officials who returned home and couldn't think of anything wrong with themselves began to secretly write memorials to impeach Xu Youzhen for his various actions in Yingtian Mansion. Although small officials like this wrote memorials, could they be sent to His Majesty the Emperor? There are two opinions before us, not to mention that it is still a sensitive period for the implementation of the new tax system.
But this time it took three days to arrive in the capital, and it was rejected within three days, and then there was an imperial approval.
The little emperor cursed.
"To eat the king's salary, not to worry about the king, to hide one's body and hide one's head, only to have food and clothing, I am heartbroken and reprimanded and dismissed. I hope that the three things will be taken care of, pay attention to your words, and abide by the good quality..."
"Snake and snake have great words, they come from their mouths, they are eloquent, and they have a thick face. He is from Si, living among the elk in the river. He has no fists and no courage, and his job is in disorder. Since he is a humble man, how can you be brave? What is your bravery? There are many generals, but how many people are there? Roll, roll, roll..."
"A needle is refined and hammered thousands of times, and the cloth is turned upside down. The eyes are on the buttocks, and they only recognize clothes and not people. Stop barking, Xu Aiqing is an important minister of the country, I won't listen, I won't listen..."
Zhu Jianshen was full of firepower, and started to quarrel according to the seriousness of the memorial's words.
His own fate would have caused these upright officials and celebrities who wrote memorials to impeach Xu Youzhen to lose their courage.
But Zhu Jianshen didn't expect it.
The officials who rejected the memorial saw His Majesty criticizing and insulting it.
They were even more excited.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Jianshen could only receive more than a dozen impeachment memorials from Yingtian Mansion a day at first. After he rejected all the replies in the first wave.
After three days, it increased tenfold.
More than a hundred memorials were written to impeach Xu Youzhen, and even those who originally supported Xu Youzhen's new tax system came to join in the fun.
It is said in Yingtian Mansion that His Majesty curses people, does not utter curse words, and has clear thoughts. What, if you don’t believe it, just write it if you don’t believe it.
Against this background, everyone wrote memorials.
Even veteran Sun Yuanzhen wrote a memorial to Zhu Jianshen with the attitude of giving it a try, describing his views on the new tax system and his views on Xu Youzhen.
In this way, Zhu Jianshen fell into confusion as he watched more and more memorials impeaching Xu Youzhen.
And under Zhang Bao's reminder, Zhu Jianshen also knew that it was him...
Confronting His Majesty the Emperor...
This opportunity is rare.
rare.
It's rare that I haven't caught it yet.
In this way, Zhu Jianshen no longer dared to reply. Of course, he still read the memorials of senior officials above the third rank, including Sun Yuanzhen's.
And Sun Yuanzhen has indeed made great contributions in Jiangxi, and he is about to die now.
Zhu Jianshen dismissed his memorial.
The following is the approval: "Lian Po is old. It is best not to eat meat, otherwise he will not be in good health. Sun Shangshu is a meritorious official of the country. Don't listen to slander, lest he will not enjoy his old age. I hope Sun Shangshu will take good care of his body. On the day when I visit the south to worship my ancestors , I hope to be accompanied by Sun Shangshu."
Sun Yuanzhen looked at this reply with mixed feelings in her heart, and then studied it carefully.
The handwriting was immature, and it didn't look like it was written by someone else. After comparing it with other people who had received replies, it was confirmed that the reply was indeed written by His Majesty himself.
Although there is a mockery in the beginning of the approval, the second half of the sentence is full of affection. Of course, this is also reasonable.
The sarcasm in the first part of the approval is directed at state affairs, while the second half of the sentence is about His Majesty the Emperor's concern for his senior ministers. It is appropriate to put them together.
This moved Sun Yuanzhen very much. Daming had not forgotten him, and the last fear in his heart disappeared.
Because at first Sun Yuanzhen thought the new tax system was good, but if Yu Qian and others started to promote it under the premise of deceiving Zhu Jianshen, it is unclear whether the new tax system could be maintained after Zhu Jianshen took office.
If it was accomplished with great banners flying before, but then overthrown after Zhu Jianshen took office, that would not be a good thing for this country.
Zhu Jianshen's reply to Sun Yuanzhen was thoughtful, which also made Sun Yuanzhen feel that Yu Qian and others must have persuaded His Majesty to move the tax system.
Zhu Jianshen's response to this letter made Sun Yuanzhen, who was vacillating, become a leader in supporting the new tax system. Dragging his old body with him, he often went to the fields to scold the old officials who were unwilling to cooperate with the retreat. From time to time, old men appeared among themselves. Pushing, but Sun Yuanzhen has led troops in battles, and has never lost...
…………
Wang Mingyi, Liu Bing and others were all taken to the capital the next day. All their property was inspected. Fifteen people were inspected for 250,000 taels of silver, more than 13,000 acres of grain fields, and 32 shops in the city. There are nine restaurants and inns...
Compared to Xu Youzhen, who traveled around Jiangxi and seized dozens of princes, the gains were almost the same.
It’s really a small official who is extremely corrupt.
Of course, it can also be seen from another aspect that the officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River moved faster than those in the north. Now they all realize the importance of the shop, control it from behind, and start doing business.
One-third of the silver was placed in the Hubu treasury of Yingtian Mansion, and the rest was transported to the capital. After Xu Youzhen reported the 10,000 acres of fertile land, Zhu Jianshen issued an order to divide it all into tenant farmers, and then resume farming. Registration, distribution of farm tools to cultivate cattle, and normal business operations such as shops and restaurants were handed over to Yingtian Mansion for follow-up arrangements...
But Xu Fu, who was young and strong, charged forward to clear the way for the new tax system and took people to the officials' homes to measure their land and inspect their commercial properties.
Of course, Chen Ying, who had been staying in the military camp, also dispatched three thousand soldiers to help.
Everything in Yingtian Mansion is proceeding in an orderly manner.
When the new tax system was implemented, Xu Youzhen inevitably offended more senior officials. Some of them began a hunger strike to resist the decree and wrote in blood. It is unclear whether they used their own blood.
The memorial was replaced by a blood letter, which made Wang Wen, the cabinet minister, frightened when he saw it.
During the implementation of the new tax system in Shuntian Prefecture, there was at most push and shove from below, but nothing major happened. However, the old minister's blood letter made Wang Wen feel that Xu Youzhen of Yingtian Prefecture must have done something extraordinary.
At the moment, I took the blood letter and wanted to deliver it to His Majesty the Emperor in Qianqing Palace in person.
On the way, I met Zhan Yang, the frowning Minister of Rites.
King Jincheng from North Korea was kicked out by Zheng Zhong in the morning, and by noon the news had already spread.
Of course Wang Wen knew it too.
When the two met, Wang Wen comforted Zhan Yang with a few words and went directly to Qianqing Palace.
In fact, Wang Wen thought wrong. The reason why Zhan Yang was frowning was not because of Jincheng Jun Li Yu's affairs, but because of his great courtesy, His Majesty condescended to see the leader of North Korea.
This made Zhan Yang feel that His Majesty was too pragmatic and that the ministers below him were not very good at their work. His Majesty needed to personally come forward to get the silver treasures from North Korea.
And Zhan Yang shook his head, and finally took the imperial doctor to the inn, and went to see Jincheng Jun Li Yu with His Majesty the Emperor's cordial greetings...
Zhu Jianshen had just sent Zhan Yang away, and was still thinking about what generous gifts Pyongyang, the northern country of North Korea, could prepare, when the young eunuch came into the palace to announce that Wang Wen asked to see him.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhang Bao.
"Your Majesty, Wang Shangshu was not summoned today."
"Let him in."
After saying that, Zhu Jianshen put away the idea of North Korea's heavy gift.
Wang Wen arrived at the Qianqing Palace holding several blood memorials that had just been delivered.
After the ceremony.
Zhu Jianshen then asked: "Why did you meet me?"
It has been a long time since Wang Wen of Fengtian Palace made a mistake and angered His Majesty, but no one knows that His Majesty is petty and has a tendency to hold grudges.
Although Wang Wen was not punished in any way, the little emperor was not polite when he spoke to him. He was not willing to call him "love"...
Wang Wen was also used to it, he was holding the memorial.
"Your Majesty, this is a newly sent memorial from Yingtian Mansion. I will send it to Your Majesty immediately after seeing it."
Zhang Bao gave instructions at this time and walked down. He had just received the memorial and was walking towards Zhu Jianshen.
Wang Wen continued: "Your Majesty, these are the blood letters of Yingtian Mansion's retired ministers, Yin Hongwen, the former deputy censor of the Procuratorate, Zhang Lingyuan, the former Yingtian Minister of Civil Affairs, and other veterans..."
Zhang Bao was about to walk to the imperial court. After hearing Wang Wen's words, he immediately stopped and turned over the memorial. It was indeed full of blood...
He turned to look at Wang Wen and said angrily: "Master Wang, how come this filthy thing written in blood can be handed over to His Majesty? You are really ignorant of etiquette and audacious..."
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he also frowned.
Blood book.
interesting.
Wang Wen was reprimanded by Zhang Bao so much that he lost his charter. He came over with this thing, but he wanted to tell His Majesty the current official situation of Yingtian Mansion, but he had no intention of using it to attack the New Deal. In a daze, he understood that even if he didn't have that Meaning, in His Majesty’s opinion, he also had that meaning.
I still haven’t wiped the shit out of my crotch last time, so I’ll add another shit this time…
"Yin Hongwen, how old is Zhang Lingyuan..."
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yin is eighty-two, and Mr. Zhang is seventy-eight..." Wang Wen said anxiously.
"You are so old and have shed so much blood. You are really a loyal minister of the country. Zhang Daban, how can you say that the blood of a loyal minister of the country is filthy? Bring it up and let me take a look."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that..."
"Send it up." Zhu Jianshen's face changed slightly.
Zhang Bao did not dare to say anything more, so he could only hold these memorials and put them in front of the imperial case. After thinking about it carefully, he hurriedly walked behind Zhu Jianshen, picked up a memorial, stroked his body, and opened it for Zhu Jianshen Got a letter.
After reading this letter, Zhu Jianshen motioned for him to put it down, then looked at Wang Wen below and said: "This blood letter has neat fonts and standardized layout. It should have been written in a bowl of blood in advance and written calmly with a brush. , If you remember correctly, these loyal ministers, who are seventy and eighty years old, can they still survive after bleeding a bowl of blood? Even if they can survive, how can they remain calm and calm after bleeding so much..."
Zhu Jianshen said slowly, but Wang Wen was frightened. Why didn't he think of it?
Maybe in his heart, he was secretly happy to see these blood letters, so he got them in front of His Majesty without consulting with Yu Qian, Li Xian and others.
Or, even if he doesn't admit it, he still wants to use this blood letter to suppress the new tax system that is gaining momentum.
"This blood is real, but we don't know whose blood it belongs to. It seems that I still need to send someone to check on these veterans to see if they are weak due to excessive blood loss. Check on them. Is there a wound on your body? Who should I choose? Why don’t you go for it, Wang Wen?”
"By the way, I took over Wang Mingyi's position as Minister of Rites. Now in the capital, you look at me and feel uncomfortable. You just want to cause me some trouble and make me unhappy. I also look at you with displeasure. We, the monarch and the ministers, hate each other, so we will no longer work together. ”
"I'll give you two days to prepare to go..."
Then Zhu Jianshen felt that it was not enough to express his anger. He stood up and threw all the blood letters in front of the imperial case at Wang Wen's feet.
"Take these blood letters that you think can embarrass me, go to Yingtian Mansion, and never come back..."
Wang Wen was immediately shocked. He was going to retire early. For an ambitious middle-aged minister, this was more painful than being killed.
Wang Wen knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, I don't mean this, Your Majesty..."
"Then what do you mean, are you holding these blood books to suppress me?" Zhu Jianshen said coldly.
The good mood of North Korea's generous gift suddenly disappeared.
Wang Wen is still determined to be a thief. He can't kill but he can't. Out of sight and out of mind, it is most reasonable to go to Yingtian Mansion.
"No, Your Majesty, I just want Your Majesty to take a look. I have no intention of coercing Your Majesty..."
