Ma Shiying said to Wang Zhizheng: "Today, I saw Hou Ye, Brother Ruan, and Brother Taichong Xian, all of whom are Jieshi who know the general situation and the overall situation.

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said to Ma Shiying: "Master Ma, you are the oldest and have the most experience, if I have any bad plans, you must also correct them in time." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ruan Dacheng asked worriedly: "Master Hou, have you ever known that if the emperor does not agree, this matter cannot be done, are you sure that the emperor will agree?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms, wrapped in bright yellow yellow silk, and looked like he knew that it was handed over from Jingshi.

Wang Zhizheng unfolded Huang Aya and said: "I told you just now that I have reported this plan to the emperor, but in fact, I have already received a reply from the emperor, but I didn't know what the princes meant just now, and I didn't dare to show it." ”

As he spoke, he opened a letter, densely written in small block letters, in a proper font, and there were thirteen pages of it.

Wang Zhizheng handed the letter to Ma Shiying and said, "Master Ma, come and take a look, and then let Mr. Ruan Dacheng circulate it!"

Ma Shiying took a look:

Brother Zhizheng:

Some time ago, I have read the letter you secretly played, you are sincerely planning for me and the Ming Society, after I read your thoughts, I sighed for a long time, like sending charcoal in the snow, I am very moved. Since you went down to Jiangnan, I have many people who are distressed and have not consulted, and I don't particularly agree with the way the cabinet handles problems.

Jiangnan Province is rich in the world, but the former Wei Zhongxian squeezed the wealth of Jiangnan and aroused the complaints of Jiangnan scholars, so at the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I ordered the withdrawal of the weaving of Jiangnan to prevent angering the Southeast clan again. But now the country is in crisis, natural disasters are continuous, wolf smoke is everywhere, the government is in deficit year after year, but there is no financial resources, and there is no silver for disaster relief, so the people are innumerable.

I can't make up my mind, you made this decision for me, if Jiangnan doesn't support Sheji, then Sheji will collapse, and Jiangnan will also suffer disaster. I understand your painstaking efforts to solve my problems, and I have once again taken a stand.

Brother rest assured that I will support you in the back, the silver of the merchants in Jiangnan must be returned to the treasury, and the resumption of the society will be arranged by you, it is better to share my worries, if you can't share the worries and donate, don't be embarrassed by the restoration of the society, I feel that the restoration society is different from Donglin, most of them are conscientious scholars, unlike Donglin, most of the high-ranking officials and bureaucrats of the party are the same. Donglin Party people, I actually like it very much, and there are indeed Huang Zun Sugong, Zuo Guangdou Gong, Yang Liangong and other heroes and martyrs, but now Donglin is sinking day by day, indulging in internal strife, and the eunuch party has been removed from internal friction, against the national policy, I am worried that in the long run, the country will not be a country.

Brother often said that Jiangnan Province is the rear of Sheji, stability is particularly important, I give my brother the right to decide, but must not be in a hurry, now the north is in chaos, the south must maintain stability, the tax system reform, slowly figure, for the southeast minister, do not be too radical, this is my instructions.

According to the brother's recommendation, Ruan Dacheng or Ma Shiying are used to preside over the Nanzhili Procuratorate, I am very relieved, Ruan Dacheng is a capable minister, but a hero is useless, Ma Shiying has achieved fruitful results in governing Henan, and they are all capable ministers. I give them this opportunity to show their use, and if the tax reform goes smoothly, I will be promoted! Who will be used, you will see and do, and after choosing, I will report to me, and I will appoint them!

After the Jiangnan matter is done, you will return to Beijing immediately, I have not seen you for so long, I miss it very much, and I hope to talk to my brother earlier.

After Ma Shiying saw it, he sighed and said: "The emperor trusts Weichen so much, but Weichen does not share worries and solve problems for the emperor, and he is really ashamed in his heart!"

He handed over Emperor Chongzhen's letter to Ruan Dacheng and asked Ruan Dacheng and Huang Zongxi to circulate it.

After all three of them had read it, Wang Zhizheng solemnly folded the letter, took out a fire fold from his bosom, lit the letter, and poured the ashes into the paper basket.

Only then did he stare at Ruan Dacheng and asked: "Third uncle, have you seen it, the emperor has his opinion on you, don't be too discouraged, there will be a public opinion on right and wrong!"

Ruan Dacheng nodded firmly, his chubby face already exuded a radiant light, he patted the table firmly and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, I took this errand of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I took it, I, Ruan Dacheng, is your gun, you say you want to investigate, I will check, with the words of the king, I, Ruan Dacheng, will not hesitate to go to the soup! When the emperor's appointment letter comes down, I will definitely do something big!"

Ma Shiying also said: "Master Hou, the Lord has also commended the subordinates, the pool of water in Jinling is very deep, these big bureaucrats have been in business for decades, and they can't be cleaned up in a sentence or two, I think, you still ask the Lord for an order, transfer me over, and let me help!"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: " No, Master Ma, you don't have to worry, the third uncle is in the light, you must be in the dark, if you also fall to Jinling, then the two of you will become a thorn in the side of the Jinling officials, if you keep you, in the future, if Mr. Ruan Dacheng is retaliated against, I am not in Jinling, you can also secretly help him, you still have a good business in the Restoration Society to accumulate contacts, according to today's situation, the Restoration Society will not immediately oppose me, and donating money is not a particularly resistant thing for them, you manage well in the Restoration Society, and have a good relationship with the Restoration Society, we will open the knife to the Jinling Ministers at the same time, and you will stabilize the Restoration Society, you know？”

Wang Zhizheng deliberately arranged it this way, Ruan Dacheng really felt in his heart that Wang Zhizheng was far-sighted, such a thing as restructuring should not be too intense, the Restoration Society is indeed a big force in Jinling, if the Restoration Society is too ruthless, in the future, the Restoration Society and the Jinling Ministers will unite, then Wang Zhizheng and their strength will be weak, and they will inevitably end up

If Ma Shiying mediates well in the restoration of the society, at least it can be guaranteed that the restoration society will not move closer to the local forces in Jinling.

Huang Zongxi raised his head and said to Wang Zhizheng: "Master Hou, I have fought so many battles with you, and I have always won more and lost less, I also want to say something today, when it is time to use my strength, please arrange it!"

Wang Zhizheng smiled, patted Huang Zongxi's shoulder and said: "No, Taichong, this time is not quite the same as fighting. ”

Huang Zongxi said uneasily: "The Jinling officials are not eating dry rice, when necessary, it is inevitable that the rabbit will bite when it is urgent, Hou Ye should be careful!"

Wang Zhizheng nodded and said: "Tai Chong is reasonable, we should also have our own force, I will apply to the emperor to form an army, and we can defend it when necessary":
