In the side hall, listening to Qian Qianyi tell the story of the early dynasty, the faces of the three scholars became more and more solemn, and after Qian Qianyi finished speaking, the scholars led by him were furious: "This Yang Feng is really vicious, he actually came up with such a vicious method, does he want to leave a stench for ten thousand years?" ”

Another scholar also said angrily: "Scholars are exempt from forced labor and taxes, that is the ancestral system set by Taizu, Yang Feng actually wants to overthrow it, he wants to control His Majesty and the situation of disloyalty and filial piety, such a national thief should be punished by everyone!" ”

"Lord Qian, Yang Feng's move is to cut off the roots of Jiangnan scholars!"

Facing the three indignant young men, Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly: "Who said no, but now this proposal has been collectively passed in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and His Majesty has also issued a decree, which will be implemented today, and this official can do anything about it." ”

The three of them were silent, they were not Xiaobai who didn't understand anything, of course they knew that it was almost impossible to overthrow the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor agreed, after all, this was a resolution on behalf of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, if even this kind of thing could be easily overthrown, what kind of majesty did the Ming Dynasty have.

Just when the three scholars were relatively silent, Qian Qianyi suddenly said: "But Liu Xian's nephew doesn't need to worry too much, although the matter has passed the court meeting, but this matter is not so easy to do, and some things seem to be beautiful, but it may not be so easy to really sit up." ”

The three of them suddenly felt a burst of energy: "Oh...... I would like to hear about it. ”

Qian Qianyi smiled faintly: "You must know that Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of Jiangnan people, we have lived in Jiangnan for generations, it can be said that Jiangnan is full of our people today, although Your Majesty issued a will to try out the policy of one errand and one food in Jiangnan, but if there is no support from our Jiangnan gentry, how can he implement it?"

Didn't Emperor Shenzong also send a group of eunuchs to Jiangnan to collect taxes, and what were the consequences? Haven't you been driven out by my righteous people in Jiangnan? It can be seen that justice is in the hearts of the people, if it really causes chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, if you can't even collect taxes, I'm afraid that the first one who can't sit still is our majesty. ”

Although the current emperor was mentioned, Qian Qianyi's face did not show any respect, but showed a gloomy look.

"That's right."

Although the imperial court passed Yang Feng's proposal and was ready to try out the policy of paying grain in one errand in the south of the Yangtze River, if this kind of thing did not have the support of the local government, it would be an empty word at best.

Even if Zhu Youxiao sent a new governor, it would be useless, without the support of the local gentry, the new governor would be an empty shelf, and he would not even be able to exert any ability.

You must know that the officials in various places in Jiangnan have long been fed with silver by them, and in the event of a conflict, who do these people support?

"What Master Qian said is so good, Jiangnan used to be ours, now it is ours, and it will still be ours in the future, no one wants to take it away."

After being cheered up by Qian Qianyi, the three of them regained their spirits, and their expressions became soaring.

One person said with a smile: "I just don't know who Your Majesty will send to take over the post of governor of Zhejiang this time, or release Pan Ruzhen and reinstate the official?" ”

"Brother Liao thinks too much." The scholar surnamed Liu shook his head: "Thinking that Yang Feng is now covering the sky with one hand in the court, Master Pan has offended him, it is almost impossible to come out, Yang Feng will not let him go." ”

"Nephew Liu Xian is right." Qian Qianyi said: "Originally, last month, Dali Temple's punishment of Pan Ruzhen had come down, and he was ordered to go home to recuperate, but he was beaten back by His Majesty, sent three divisions to interrogate, and let the East Factory supervise the whole process. ”

"Shhh...... So ruthless? ”

The three scholars couldn't help but gasp.

Ordered him to go home and recuperate, in the words of later generations, to let him resign voluntarily, and then what should you do when you go home. This is the court giving you enough face.

But the latter is different, the dismissal investigation and seizure of family property is tantamount to dismissal from public office and confiscation of all income, so that Pan Ruzhen will really have nothing after he comes out, and it will be difficult to even eat.

"How can this be reasonable, Lord Pan is also a dignified feudal official, how can he be humiliated like this." The scholar surnamed Liu took the case.

"Your Majesty is too partial to Yang Feng, right?"

Looking at the three indignant scholars, Qian Qianyi was extremely calm, these three were still too young.

"Okay, the court's treatment of Master Pan has come out, in fact, it is already very good that he can save his life, you must know that Yang Feng planned to put him to death at the beginning. If the three of them really have a grievance for Master Pan, they can wait for Lord Pan to come out in two days to visit him, or give him a generous gift. ”

The three of them immediately shut up, this kind of thing is good to support verbally, really let them take out real money and forget it, isn't she fragrant to go to Yangzhou to buy a few skinny horses with that silver.

Seeing the actions of the three scholars, Qian Qianyi secretly despised in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Okay, let's not talk about Master Pan." Liu Xian's nephew, in a few days it will be the autumn, the world is the biggest, the three of you must take the test well, and when you wait for the jinshi to have an official body, our Donglin Party will have three more pillars, and the future of our Donglin Party depends on you young people. ”

was poured down by Qian Qianyi's bowl of chicken soup, and the three of them all became excited, and they all stood up and responded: "I will live up to the grace of my predecessors." ”

Qian Qianyi smiled and waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, the old man is not a senior, it's just a few years older than Bill and other idiots, so there is no need to be so nervous." ”

The three of them said a few more words, Qian Qianyi picked up the teacup and blew the tea gently, the three of them looked at each other after seeing this and said goodbye to Qian Qianyi, Qian Qianyi stood up and sent the three out of the door.

When Qian Qianyi returned to the study and sat down, he took a sip of the already cold cup of tea and sneered: "These people, none of them looked at the official when they lost their official positions, but now they all come over one by one, and want the official to take the lead for them, are they really stupid?" ”

After leaving Qian Qianyi's mansion, the three scholars also spoke in a low voice, and one of them said: "Brother Liu, this Lord Qian didn't accept the invitation, and he brought the ball back in a few words." ”

The scholar surnamed Liu sneered: "Our Lord Qian has been up and down several times, and the city government is naturally not comparable to us, I didn't think about what he would do for us this time, but I just got acquainted with him."

There is one sentence that he is still right, for us at present, it is still the most important autumn, and other things can be put aside and wait until the autumn is over. ”
