The man lying on the ground kept struggling, but he was pressed to the ground by the sturdy eunuch, and his body could not move. Soon someone found a sharp knife from his waist, and those present were immediately terrified.

In the Imperial Palace, a man dressed in interior clothes with a sharp knife pinned to his waist appeared in front of the emperor.

"Assassin, Assassin, Escort!" Feng Bao jumped and shouted, and at the same time rushed to Zhu Yijun's face, stretched out his hand, and looked like a loyal protector.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Feng Bao, his face was expressionless, and then at the man lying on the ground, and said, "Press to the East Factory and interrogate it!" ”

For this assassin, Zhu Yijun didn't pay attention to it at all, the key was that this assassin was really too strange. This guy is slipping through the wall, sneaky, for fear that others won't know that he is special.

I saw it at a glance when I passed by here, the eunuchs and palace maids who shuttled didn't find it, and the brocade guards who patrolled didn't find it, so I had to find out in person, the emperor.

If you want to say that there is no ghost in this, Zhu Yijun will not believe anything he says, and he will treat the palace as a place. A man dressed in a suit of chamberlains, how did he get in, the guards at the palace gate are all dead people!

Looking at Feng Bao, who was babbling, Zhu Yijun felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.

At this time, Zhu Yijun seemed to be watching a play, but he also had a plan in his heart, and quickly made a plan, this plan was to get rid of Feng Bao. If Feng Bao suddenly dies, or dies of poisoning, there will definitely be trouble.

Now it's different, someone wants to assassinate the emperor, this is a big deal, if one assassination fails, come again, and kill Feng Bao by mistake during the assassination, this is reasonable.

Zhu Yijun has been the emperor for a few months, and he has almost sorted out the situation in the palace.

If you want to do something, or have freedom, then Feng Bao can't stay. It's nothing now, when he and Zhang Juzheng form an alliance inside and outside, what he wants to do, it's impossible.

For himself, the ten years of Zhang Juzheng's life are very critical, and when he dies, it will be his turn to play.

If you don't accumulate capital, when you come to power, you will not be able to start in the face of the chaotic situation and the bloated civilian bureaucracy.

In order to increase revenue, the Wanli Emperor in history sent a mine supervisor to collect taxes, but what was the result? Many mine supervisors were killed, and the mining tax was forced to be abolished. Occupy the country's mines to make money, not allow the state to collect taxes, and kill the eunuchs who collect taxes, this kind of person will also be illegal in the future generations!

But in this era, Emperor Wanli had no choice but to hold back on them.

These people still deduct their hats, what eunuchs expropriate and extort violently, what eunuchs make the people's livelihood miserable, and what emperors compete with the people for profit.

The big eunuchs collect money, and they can see the money in the hands of the people? How many are drained? It's not these big households, what are the big families in the Ming Dynasty? Naturally, it will not be the merchants, but the gentry.

The so-called gentry, while being an official, was a merchant landlord.

The officials of the entire Ming Dynasty were gentry, and whoever could touch their interests, the emperor couldn't do it.

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, that is, the Wenchen shouts, in fact, they don't care about this. Zhang Juzheng's reform is only a very superficial reform, and if the knife does not cut the gentry's body, it will have absolutely no effect.

If you want to solve this situation, there are two ways, one is to destroy the reconstruction and completely overthrow it. It's just that Zhu Yijun is the emperor, so he can't rebel against himself, and another way is to pull part of it and fight part of it.

In the process of fighting, it is necessary to have the strong support of the army, and even be ready to establish a military government, otherwise it will be absolutely useless.

If a gentry doesn't pay taxes, he can't stand this, he doesn't pay taxes on land, and he doesn't pay taxes when doing business. Emperor Wanli couldn't move this, so he stretched out his hand to the mine, but he still couldn't collect taxes, what could the emperor who had no money do.

It costs money to train troops, and it costs money to pay salaries to hundreds of officials, and you can't do anything without money.

When Emperor Chongzhen was in the most difficult time, he managed to borrow money from his ministers, but no one took it, did they have no money? Of course not, after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he copied out more than 70 million taels of silver. In Zhu Yijun's opinion, Emperor Chongzhen just didn't have a knife.

Why did the carpenter emperor keep Wei Zhongxian, it wasn't because Wei Zhongxian could get money, you don't care if he raided his house or blackmailed, he was a good eunuch if he could get money.

Where did those people's money come from, and it wasn't from the greed and exploitation of the people.

Not to mention others, Yan Song and Xu Jie, who is not the first assistant, even Zhang Juzheng, after becoming the first assistant, the family also got 80,000 hectares of land. These lands do not pay taxes, and it is strange that the emperor is rich.

Shoufu is still like this, not to mention others, Daming is so big, the tax silver a year is less than three million taels.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was the same as the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for Yongzheng's construction of a stall into the mu, Daqing would have died in the morning.

What was the result, Yongzheng was scolded as a tyrant, and Qianlong, who enjoyed the fruits, was said to be a Ming monarch. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except for Kangxi, Yongzheng is regarded as an emperor with vision, and Qianlong is far worse than his father.

It is the literati who write books, they are the gentry, you cut the flesh from them, and they can write hello and there will be ghosts.

The reform of the Ming Dynasty is against the entire gentry group, and it is normal for Zhang Juzheng to be hacked, no one will speak for him, he is against the whole country. Ordinary people who can speak for him don't understand anything.

Moreover, the common people did not benefit from the reforms, clearing the fields, imposing a whip law, and targeting those who paid taxes.

The people who pay taxes are the people at the bottom, the gentry are exempt from taxes, and the more you do this, the more you increase their burden. Although the money was received in a short period of time and the national strength was enhanced, the sequelae were very serious, which was tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst.

Zhu Yijun wants to carry out in-depth reforms, and what he wants is to cut the flesh of the gentry, and without the support of strong capital, he will not be able to do it at all.

Ten years have been stared at by Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, how can Zhu Yijun endure it. The outside can be handed over to Zhang Juzheng, and he can be allowed to train reform officials, but inside the palace, Feng Bao must not be allowed to have the final say.

"You can't live if you do your own evil!" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao who ran towards Cining Palace, and said in a low voice.

Soon the news of the emperor's assassination came, first in the palace and then in the capital, and the people were panicked in an instant. The atmosphere inside the palace was even more solemn, full of solemn atmosphere.

Zhu Yijun also came to Cining Palace at this time, and if something like this happened, Zhu Yijun naturally wanted to come to see his mother.

"Emperor, are you alright? Let the Queen Mother take a look! Empress Dowager Li hugged Zhu Yijun, looked up and down, and made sure that Zhu Yijun was okay, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous expression on her face eased a lot.
