Xia Yan's words are really hurtful, and he is from a speech official, standing on Zhu Houxi's side at the moment, it is like a betrayal, how can a civil official let him go.

"Xia Yan, as a speech official, you are willing to act as a lackey, if you are a little shameful, you should immediately go home and think about it behind closed doors. Who gave you the guts to run and make a big fuss? Zhang Chong scolded sharply.

When Xia Yan heard this, his nose was crooked.

The impression of Xia Yan in later generations is probably more of the unlucky first assistant who was framed by Yan Song and lost his life, but in fact, Xia Yan's talent, temperament, character and ability are all top-notch, and among the first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a leader.

At this moment, Xia Yan, although he has not yet entered the cabinet, he has already realized the problems of the Ming Dynasty. Since last year, Xia Yan has been in charge of a government affairs, that is, to return the grange that some eunuchs have encroached upon under the banner of the palace to the people.

This is an administrative task that Zhu Houxi has implemented since he ascended the throne.

In the Wuzong Dynasty, eunuchs gained power, took the opportunity to encroach on the people's land, and pretended to be the emperor. After Xia Yan got the will, he decisively implemented it.

More than 50,000 acres of Huangzhuang were found at once, and he returned all these fields to the people, and everyone praised him for a while, and Xia Yan also felt that he had done a great thing.

He took the opportunity to suggest to Zhu Houxi that he should simply increase the clean-up efforts to avoid hiding the land and avoiding the situation of the field endowment.

Of course, Zhu Houxi agreed.

But Xia Yan was in the process of implementation, and his nose was crooked with anger.

He found that the imperial estates he had cleared had been annexed by some dignitaries.

Their reasons are very good, now the court is giving you the land so that the people can pay taxes, and the court is very strict on miscellaneous taxes, which are as much as cattle hairs, but if you can send the land to their names, you don't have to pay anything else except pay some rent.

The people did the math, and it turned out to be like this!

Many have changed from yeoman farmers to tenant farmers.

After Xia Yan learned about the situation, could he not be angry?

Lao Tzu worked hard and easily got the land from the eunuchs, but when he turned his head, a large group of gentry and officials swallowed it.

It turned out that in the matter of treating land, there was no difference between the gentry and the eunuchs!

Wrong!

It is the gentry who are even more hateful!

Because the eunuchs encroached on the land, after the Son of Heaven approved it, he could still find out, but after being swallowed by the gentry, he wanted to investigate, and no one supported him.

Those colleagues in the six subjects also said that he was troublesome.

The eunuchs brutalized the people and did a lot of evil, and the people were afraid of the eunuchs and sought refuge, so it was reasonable that what did you care about these things?

Xia Yan was so angry that he fainted, what kind of logic is this called?

The eunuch is a man-eating tiger, and the gentry are the wolf who kills...... Tigers can't eat people, only wolves are alleged?

Is this the vision of a courtier?

The more Xia Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, for a pragmatic official, he was not very interested in the succession of the heir, but after this lesson, Xia Yan found that behind the succession was the contest between the Son of Heaven and the courtiers.

And if you want to change, you must support the Son of Heaven, only when the Son of Heaven is in charge, can there be hope for change, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Xia Yan's situation is very different from others, but since they have come together, there is nothing to say. Xia Yan is only a top three jinshi, it's not that he can't write well, but this person has a sharp pen, and he is like a sharp sword, even if Zhang Xuan is in front of him, he will be covered by the edge, and it will be even more chaotic Tang Bohu and others.

Therefore, Xia Yan took on the responsibility of the main attacker.

"You ask me who gave me the guts, then I want to ask you, and who made you come?"

Zhang Chong shouted angrily: "We are here to persuade the Son of Heaven, to support the righteous path!" You inflamed people, get out of the way! ”

Xia Yan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, what you said is really good, in this case, we are also here for the common people, we want to ask the cabinet, ask the six departments and nine secretaries, and ask the imperial court science and technology officials, you are all the mouthpieces and consciences of the Ming Dynasty, what do you think of my current situation?" ”

At this time, Hanlin Scholar Feng Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and he scolded: "Xia Yan, as a small official, how dare you talk nonsense? There are many complexities between the DPRK and China, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than four words: the name is just! We are all for the righteous path of the monarch and the ministers, and the law of the sect, how can you and other small officials understand the major affairs of the country...... Quickly step aside, don't use your mantis arm as a car, and bring humiliation on yourself! ”

"Hahaha!"

Xia Yan laughed even louder, "Master Feng, you are in charge of Hanlin, you are the prime minister, you must have read a lot of books, and you know a lot of truths...... Since you are talking about national affairs, then I want to ask, now I have more than 6 million people in the Ming Dynasty, isn't it a national event? ”

Xia Yan's voice was loud, and everyone could hear it clearly.

"Which dynasty these displaced people are placed in, it is enough to cause a catastrophe to change the dynasty, I want to ask Master Feng, the princes of the court, can there be a countermeasure?"

Where is Feng Xi willing to talk to Xia Yan about these things, he snorted angrily: "You are alarmist, not to mention that the imperial court pays money every year, provides relief to the victims, and the accounts of the household department are well known, you are nitpicking!" ”

"What an alarmist? When I say 6 million displaced people, I only have statistics in the 12th year of Zhengde, and now the number will only be more, maybe more than 10 million! You said that everyone knows it, and that's not bad! Because from last year to now, only the Son of Heaven proposed to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to settle tens of thousands of displaced people in the capital. And after the beginning of spring today, there are more than 100,000 displaced people from all over the country who have come to the capital to beg for a living! ”

"If you rely on the capital alone, no matter what, you won't be able to settle so many displaced people. In the final analysis, we must work together, from the court to the localities, to find a way to give the people a way to live, and also to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xia Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at the high-ranking officials and ministers in front of him, and sneered, "Princess, the Son of Heaven has worked hard to relieve the displaced people. You can't come up with a countermeasure, but instead pull the Son of Heaven back here, take irrelevant things, and disrupt national politics, what are your intentions? In a few months' time, when winter will come, and the land will be full of hungry people, will they be allowed to live in your house? ”

Xia Yan's voice was quite penetrating, not to mention these courtiers, even Zhu Houxi, who was looking down at the palace gate, was quite surprised.

"Xiao Fugui, obviously they have settled the homeless, how can they still be there?"

Wang Yue smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, this homeless people are all over the world, and it's not just in the capital. Now that the capital has settled the displaced people, the people naturally gather in the capital in order to survive, and the pressure this winter is only greater than last year! ”

"Ahh

Zhu Houxi is crazy, how did he dig a big hole for himself!

But the homeless people can't ignore it, as Xia Yan said, it seems that only by working together and working together can the problem be solved. But in the current situation, can the monarch and the minister still be single-minded?

This is forcing me to use the knife!

You will die yourselves, but don't blame me for being unkind.

Zhu Houxi looked down at the ministers outside Zuo Shun's door, and a monstrous murderous aura was brewing in his heart.

And the ministers who were reprimanded by Xia Yan were annoyed and angry, and let Xia Yan stir up like this, how could they compete with the Son of Heaven?

Zhao Jian, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "You are a small official, talking about national affairs, and you don't retreat quickly!" ”

Xia Yan also stared at him Zhao Jian, and asked in the same tone as him, "You are a courtier, and you talk about the affairs of the heavenly family, and you don't retreat quickly!" ”

Attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son!

That's amazing!

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but cheer for Xia Yan.

At this time, Tang Yin also found an opportunity and stepped forward, as small officials, we should not talk about major affairs in the DPRK and China, so Ye Guizhang, Yang Chun, Jin Chengxun and others may not be much higher than our official position! However, they could complain for Emperor Xiaozong and blew up Wang Gong's factory, causing thousands of people to be killed and injured. There is no conclusion to such a big case, and the ministers are still aggressive, coming to the Son of Heaven theory, who gave you the courage? ”

"Tang Yin, who gave you the guts to dare to talk nonsense! You cheated in the imperial examination, and you got the champion by luck by meeting the Son of Heaven, and you dared to jump up and down, which is really daring and shameless! Feng Xi scolded: "If you ask about this case, then I will tell you that His Majesty Xiaozong is benevolent and loves the people, if you can respect Xiaozong, the world will naturally be peaceful, and it is for this matter that I come to advise the Son of Heaven!" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yunming, who was behind him, shook his fat body and suddenly appeared, he scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "This lord, according to what you said, is it to bomb Wang Gong's factory in order to force the Son of Heaven to comply?" ”

When he finished speaking, he shrunk his neck and retreated into the crowd, trying to hide. I wish Zhishan is an honest person, but my throat is itchy, and I hid.

It's just that Zhu Zhishan obviously underestimated his size, and his words were even more terrifying than his size!

"Good! Fengxi, you confessed! The bombing of Wang Gong's factory was premeditated! Zhang Xuan immediately grabbed it, and his voice overshadowed everything, "Have you heard it, sure enough, blowing up Wang Gong's factory, such a hurtful thing is not something that a mere Hanlin can do!" Feng Xi is Ye Guizhang's backstage of the same party, as for whether there is anyone behind, I can't say now! But I know one thing, they don't take the lives of the people seriously! That's why they don't care how many homeless people there are! This is the Ming scholar! ”

"You say, I Zhang Xuan said, the big disadvantage in the world is the scholars, what's wrong?" Zhang Xuan tore off his official uniform and yelled loudly.

"That's right! That's right! ”

"That's a great point! We don't bother to be in the company of these people! ”

Although Zhang Zhang's official position is not high, the number of people is not small, and they are all young and strong, with huge voices, they roared at the top of their voices, and Yang Ting and this side couldn't parry at all.

"It turns out that I don't need to make a move at all, they will be killed and collapsed!" Zhu Houyu was relieved, he originally felt that he was going to kill the killer, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily, Zhu Houyu was still a little boring.

But at this moment, Huang Jin trotted over, so frightened that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Emperor, Empress Dowager Zhang just committed suicide by taking poison!"

Wang Yue also came over, and when he heard that this was the case, he couldn't help but take a breath, it seemed that these ministers had a reason again.
