Chapter 319: The Calm Before the Storm

With a "bang", the heart of the eunuch standing outside the door suddenly tightened, and the emperor threw things again!

"Who is it! Who is so bold! ”

Zhu Yijun, who threw a teacup in anger, stared at Zhang Juzheng and asked loudly.

"Don't they know that he is the minister of the Imperial Mission, and that he is mine...... Was it sent by me? Dare to assassinate in the street, aren't they afraid of punishing the nine clans? ”

After learning that Shi Yiwen was attacked on the street, Zhu Yijun was extremely angry. Although he had thought that Shi Yiwen's trip to Nanzhili would not be so easy, he never thought that someone would dare to assassinate the minister in broad daylight.

"Someone dares to assassinate the minister in broad daylight, is this the bright and clear of the Ming Dynasty? Is that what you call a peaceful and prosperous world? ”

Zhu Yijun was so angry, not just because he was worried about Shi Yiwen's safety, nor because he felt guilty about him, but because it was equivalent to giving him a slap in the face, after all, the minister was sent by the emperor, and it was a compromise he made for a little silver, Shi Yiwen went there, and now he was attacked on the street in that place.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and naturally they are angry and thunderous. Even when facing Zhang Juzheng, he didn't have as many scruples as in the past.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed something that I have never had since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the minister will definitely send someone to investigate this matter, and he will definitely give His Majesty an explanation to the world."

Zhang Juzheng had some doubts in his heart. Why was the emperor so angry? I'm afraid it's not just because of the attack on the minister. No matter how you say it, it's just a green vegetable minister, and it stands to reason that even if the emperor is angry, he won't be so out of shape in front of him.

Could it be that there is some unknown relationship between the emperor and Shi Yiwen. For Zhang Juzheng, who has always done everything possible to prevent the appearance of a favored minister by the emperor's side. The first thing that came to his mind was that the two men were about the same age. Will this make it not just a relationship between monarchs and ministers?

If Shi Yiwen is the emperor's confidant. It's nothing, for example, but if it's the emperor's favorite, then it's ...... His brows furrowed slightly, just when Zhang Juzheng was secretly vigilant in his heart. Zhu Yijun noticed the strangeness in his crowd and immediately realized that he had lost his temper, so he hurriedly remedied.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't want you to give me an explanation, but to give an explanation to the people of the world, after all, I sent the minister of the Qincha, and this minister of green vegetables is also collecting customs duties for the palace, and now he is actually attacked in broad daylight, what will the people of the world think when this news spreads? Will they think that it is because I sent him to loot the people's money that they have aroused the people's resentment, and how will the people in the world think of me and the emperor at that time? ”

The emperor said this, Zhang Juzheng only felt a cold sweat on his back. He immediately thought that this matter was indeed related to the emperor's fertility, and it was not just as simple as an attack on the minister, so he quickly replied.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister has ordered someone to deal with this matter, and this matter will definitely be investigated. Give Your Majesty an explanation to the world! ”

On this morning, a passenger boat came from nowhere on the wharf of the Qinhuai River, and it was only after the boat was parked that the boatman said to a master and a servant sitting in the cabin.

"Master, the ship has arrived in Nanjing City, are you two sure to get off the ship from here?"

The master of the cabin nodded in his dress, and then stepped out of the cabin, stepped over the gangplank and went ashore, followed by the servant. The owner who walked in front was about sixty years of age, and as he stepped out of the cabin, he walked slowly and steadily up the stone steps of the pier. This person is Lu Tiaoyang, who Zhang Juzheng chanted for a night two days ago, and he received the holy decree in Wuhu.

The minister of the Chin Cha has been attacked!

The Emperor is furious!

The face of the court is gone!

Then, as the resummoning minister, Lu Tiaoyang received the emperor's decree as soon as he arrived in Wuhu, so he immediately changed his itinerary and rushed to Nanjing.

The servant who followed behind was named Lu Wu, if Shi Yiwen arrived here, he would not feel strange, after all, the two had a relationship at the beginning, over the years, he was not only Lu Tiaoyang's servant, but also his guard, and he has never changed for so many years.

"Sir."

Lu Wu shouted softly.

"Where do we go first? Is it the Six Yamen, or? ”

"Let's go see Shi Zhiyuan first!"

Lu Tiaoyang said casually.

"It stands to reason that I, the minister of the Imperial Mission, should have informed them to pick up the boat, but why did I change the boat from Wuhu, in the final analysis, it was not because the water in this pool was too deep! Over there in the Yamen of the Sixth Ministry, let's not be in a hurry, it's good to see the main master, Wu Zi, you said, when we first met him in Qingheyi, didn't you still think that people took advantage of us, speaking of which, we gave up a room, but he saved the old man's life. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Wu hurriedly said.

"Master, speaking of which, this is all a small insight and short knowledge, but Shi Gongzi is also strange, obviously has the medical skills of a great hand, but when he arrived in the capital, he did not take advantage of this to make a name, but became the chief tax department of this banknote, this saw that the ship was taxed according to the goods, I don't know how many people's financial routes were cut off, and cutting off people's financial routes was like killing parents! His attack in Nanjing is estimated to be related to the banknote. ”

Lu Tiaoyang didn't make a sound, just nodded his head slightly, and finally sighed.

"So, this matter is deep!"

Not only is the depth of the water, it is simply unfathomable!

Since Zhishi returned to his hometown last year, Lu Tiaoyang has been thinking about the gains and losses over the years, of course, at that time, he never thought that he would come back again one day, and it is precisely because of this that his mood has calmed down and he can think about some things calmly.

Just when he was thinking about the current situation of the country, the sudden will over there broke his seemingly peaceful life - the emperor summoned him to the cabinet!

Entering the cabinet again, such a grace is also rare in the world.

The only thing a minister can do is to thank the emperor for his grace. Of course, because of his physical recovery, he also hoped to be able to serve the country again, so after receiving the holy decree, he rushed to the capital day and night. Along the way, he has even made up his mind that he must live up to the trust of the emperor, live up to the people of the world, and do a good job.

But he never thought that a holy decree at Wuhu Pass would disrupt all his plans!

Preside over the investigation into the attack on the minister!

This matter seems to be easy to do, but in fact, Lu Tiaoyang knows better than anyone that this pool is deep, even unfathomable, who intended to assassinate Shi Yiwen, and why? Although these are still doubts, it is certain that they must be inseparable from the banknote customs.

"Money ......"

Sitting in the car, Lu Tiaoyang muttered the word "master" in his heart, and then sighed again, in the past, for Daming, the banknote was nothing more than providing 200,000 taels of silver, but now...... Now that the annual income of the banknote is almost not inferior to the annual tax payment of the imperial court, how can this not make people blush, and how can it not make people feel heartache?

"It seems that this time Shousuke hit their seven inches!"

But the retribution fell on Shi Yiwen.

Ay......

After a long sigh, the car had already approached the city wall, and when he looked up at the Nanjing city wall, which was known as the first in the world, Lu Tiaoyang couldn't help frowning again. Although this Nanjing city wall will still make you feel very majestic and magnificent, the spirit is extraordinary! However, for Lu Tiaoyang, his heart is full of thoughts now, and the city wall in front of him is like the situation of Nanzhili, which cannot be pierced by needles or splashed with water.

"Zhiyuan is just a slight move of seven inches, they actually do this black hand, if it goes on like this for a long time, I am afraid that the country will not be a country!"

Sighing at Shi Yi's experience, Lu Tiaoyang's face was full of sadness, and there was only one thought left in his heart - what is the future of Daming!

In the past, Lu Tiaoyang only knew that the eunuchs of the Southern Zhili Dynasty controlled the government and resisted reform, but now, a small banknote has aroused such a big reaction from them, and it will ...... in the future What to do! If the reform continues, those people can kill the Qincha today, but what will they do in the future?

The reason why there are such concerns is because Lu Tiaoyang knows that half of the Jinshi in the world are from the reality of Jiangnan, so that as long as the officials of Nanzhili are willing, they can easily control the government, they can form a party, and they can run a private business, and at that time, I am afraid that the country will really be a country!

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Tiaoyang's brows became tighter and tighter, especially when he looked at the prosperous scenery of the southern capital, he even thought of the scene of party disputes and chaos in the country.

And in the end...... He is always subject to reality and various reasons, and he doesn't feel anything when he doesn't have a career, but after his comeback now, although the prosperity of the southern capital in front of him is far better than the scene he witnessed when he first passed through Nanjing decades ago, but Lu Tiaoyang not only felt happy, but was a little worried, worried that the future party struggle would destroy the Ming Dynasty's society.

Suddenly, Lu Tiaoyang felt a little strange that he would have such an idea, after all, logically speaking, this is a peaceful and prosperous era, but in this peaceful and prosperous era, such a thought came to mind, this is really ......

"It seems that there is also a crisis in this prosperous world!"

He thought like this in his heart, but then he felt that maybe the reason why he thought this way was because the mood of the national ash today was very different from before!

Yes, in the past, I was only thinking about being an official, but now I ...... Lu Tiaoyang closed his eyes, recalling the reflection in the study house at home after Zhishi, and now, it is to do things!

"Then give Da Ming a good job!"

(I recommend a huge sleeve "I want to be a pavilion elder", a very good Ming Dynasty!) )
