After discussing the handling of the four civil officials with Li Zhi, Wang Chengen returned to the banquet. He took out a holy decree from his bosom www.biquge.info looked at it, and found that it was wrong. He put the decree back and pulled out another one.

Obviously, if Li Zhi refuses to hand over, the Son of Heaven has another plan. How the Son of Heaven reacted in that case is unknown.

"The crown prince Taibao, the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion Zuodu, and the Tianjin Chief Military Officer Li Zhi received the order!"

Li Zhi led the officials present to kneel on the ground and accept the holy decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says... Although Li Zhi attacked the governor's soldiers and horses, it was really persecuted by the governor, which is understandable. The detention of the governor is also a matter of urgency... The four civil servants were handed over to the three divisions for trial, and they were convicted and punished after being reviewed by the divisions. In the future, when encountering such a thing, Li Zhicheng will become the son of heaven and make a decision..."

The holy decree said a few words to Li Zhi, but there was no punishment. The so-called Son of Heaven makes a decision again, naturally it is a scene, the Son of Heaven does not dare to confront the civil official system at all, how can he help Li Zhi suppress the civil officials who rebel against commercial taxes? If you play the Son of Heaven in everything, you can't accomplish anything.

The Son of Heaven didn't mention the matter of commercial taxes at all, as if he didn't know about it. Li Zhi's levy of commercial taxes The Son of Heaven can also get a share of the silver, and the Son of Heaven supports Li Zhi's levy of commercial taxes in his heart. But obviously, the Son of Heaven did not dare to offend civil officials, and did not dare to mention commercial tax matters in official documents, for fear of falling into the hands of others.

The Son of Heaven was vague about the matter of commercial taxes, and only kept his head shut to accept Li Zhi's silver.

However, at this time, Tianjin's commercial tax has been levied, and the dust has settled. At this time, the Son of Heaven came with a holy decree, which was a bit of a coffin. This final verdict did not punish Li Zhi, let alone say that Li Zhi was a rebel, but naturally acquiesced to the status quo in Tianjin and the collection of commercial taxes.

Li Zhi's drastic move in Tianjin was a success and did not provoke a backlash from the imperial court.

Li Zhi pondered the meaning of the Son of Heaven in his heart for a while, and got up to receive the holy decree.

The Tianjin officials kneeling on the ground were either sad or happy when they heard the holy decree.

Those civil officials seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they were cold from their heads to their feet.

The civil officials were all resentful of Li Zhi's collection of commercial taxes, and they all had the heart to kill Li Zhi. But they were intimidated by Li Zhi's force and had to laugh with Li Zhiqiang. Now that Li Zhi can summon them from all over the country to the General Military Mansion to discuss matters, they seem to have become Li Zhi's subordinates, and they can only listen to the command of a martial artist.

They pinned their hopes on the princes of the court to give Li Zhi a thunderous blow and asked Li Zhi to stop the business tax. They even hoped that the imperial court would designate Li Zhi as a thief and send troops to attack Li Zhi.

At the worst, Li Zhi should be summoned to a place with few people, and the ambush knife and axe men should be taken down on the spot and escorted into Beijing.

They didn't expect the Son of Heaven to send his henchman Wang Chengen to announce the decree, and he also had a good time with Li Zhi. In the end, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, which they were waiting for day and night, lightly brushed aside Li Zhi's rebellious behavior, and asked Li Zhi not to do this next time, saying it was equivalent to not saying it.

The civil servants on earth were in agony at this time, and they could not speak. The four civil officials who were detained by Li Zhi were handed over to the three divisions for interrogation, and I don't know what the result was. If the four civil officials still inevitably died in the end, then no one in Tianjin would dare to resist Li Zhi in the future.

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty used the rules of literature and martial arts, and the officialdom in Tianjin was going to be reversed? In the future, Tianjin will be headed by Li Zhi? The governors and the garrisons can only be resigned to it? Such a situation should really become a disgrace to the officials of the world!

The ministers knelt on the ground and looked at each other for a while, with despair in their eyes.

Military attachés such as adjutant generals and staff generals who were kneeling on the ground were relatively relaxed when they heard this holy decree. Although they also have a business, they will also be levied by Li Zhi this time, but the tax rate of thirty taxes and one is limited, so it should be regarded as a gift to Li Zhi. They don't have the power of civil officials, they don't take bribes from businessmen to escort businessmen like civil officials, they don't have the sense of mission of civil officials to speak for businessmen all over the world, and they don't have such a strong rejection of Li Zhi's commercial taxes.

What they pondered was that after this war, Tianjin's officialdom was afraid that it would become Li Zhi's hall. The general army directly arrested the governor, which was really unheard of in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

The rewards and punishments of high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty were all in the hands of the imperial court, and no local officials were ever given the power to directly arrest other high-ranking officials. Even if Shang Fang's sword is given, it is often a false name, and very few people actually use the sword. Li Zhi's arrest of Cha Dengbei this time was indeed shocking.

Only a rebellious military general would do such a thing as arresting the governor.

And the Son of Heaven actually didn't punish Li Zhi. This can only be Li Zhi with such treatment, otherwise if a military attache is changed to detain the governor, I am afraid that he would have been escorted to Beijing and beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Most of the military attaches participated in Cha Deng's attack on Fanjiazhuang this time, but Li Zhi did not seem to blame the military attaches for this. All the generals feel that Li Zhi has a bright future, and he may have to go further in the future. If Li Zhi can be trusted and treated as his own, the high-ranking officials will not be able to capture them in the future. The military attachés secretly said that in the future, they should listen less to the governor's words, and go to the general military palace more often, so as to have a future.

Li Zhi's subordinates were rejoicing.

Li Zhi went on a killing spree, but the Son of Heaven did not punish Li Zhi, who else would dare to confront Li Zhi in the future?

This Tianjin, in the future, it will be my Fanjiazhuang generals who have the final say. The governors and soldiers who used to be high in the sky will act according to our faces in the future.

Everyone could not have imagined that following Li Zhi in just a few years would become the de facto ruler of Tianjin. The so-called Qingyun Steady Step is nothing more than that.

Li Xing and the others were worried that they would be condemned as anti-thieves this time, but they didn't expect the final decision of the Son of Heaven to be so frivolous. They looked at each other, and there was joy in their eyes.

Wang Chengen handed the holy decree to Li Zhi and said, "Lord Taibao, don't you see the appearance of the princes in the court!" That's a piece of explosion. The Son of Heaven withstood the pressure of hundreds of officials this time and skipped the matter lightly. But you can't do it all. Lord Taibao must think twice about acting in the future, otherwise if the Son of Heaven can't stand it, the situation will be ugly. ”

Li Zhi blinked, didn't say much, and took the holy decree into his arms. He raised his glass and said, "What my father-in-law said is very true, now that the holy decree has been announced, my father-in-law has nothing to do. Today, Li Zhi and his father-in-law are not drunk! ”

Wang Chengen looked at Li Zhi and secretly said that this is really a warlord and a powerful minister, and there is nothing he can do about him today. Could it be that in the future, I will repeat the situation of the former Tang Dynasty and the town? Wang Chengen pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Our family also wants to try the amount of Taibao's wine, and see who will fall down first today!" ”

Li Zhi laughed, put the glass in Wang Chengen's hand, and was about to pour him wine.

Li Zhi didn't expect that Wang Chengen was thin and weak, but the amount of alcohol was excellent, and he was drunk by Wang Chengen that night. (To be continued.) )
