Wang Chengen rolled his eyes and said, "I see, Emperor Shengming!" ”

"Without the support of the scholars, we can't do great things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"Zhu Youzhen believes in this creed of his own. He sat on the throne proudly and said, "And didn't this Li Zhi say that he would pay 20,000 taels of commercial taxes next year." He also said that the newly opened dry land on Tianjin West Road will be harvested next year, and he will be able to hand over 10,000 stone of tuntian seeds. ”

"Yanguan always says that I force the people to rebel, but this Li Zhi cultivates new fields and collects commercial taxes, but he will not exploit the poor peasants!"

"Although the total is only 40,000 taels of silver, it is also a good result for the soldiers and horses all the way. What I lack now is silver! If all the military attaches in the world are like Li Zhi, why should I worry that there is no silver to suppress thieves? Li Zhi is lonely and loyal, he is a loyal minister! ”

Wang Chengen nodded and said, "Emperor Shengming!" He asked again: "Then how to deal with this Tianjin Middle Road Soldier Song Daoming?" ”

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "The dignified military equipment actually accommodates Dongnu at home, it is really bold, so isn't Dongnu a glimpse of my reality in Tianjin?" , dismissed him as an official, and demoted him to a concubine. Li Zhi said that as soon as he took office, he accepted bribes of more than 5,000 taels and raided his home to see how much he was greedy. His son Song Jinyu was even more guilty of marrying a concubine, and his fame was removed. ”

"What about the county order for the three family members to break the law?"

"None of these magistrates are clean, and if they can't be killed, they will be fined for one year! If there is a further offense, it will be handed over to the department for disposal. ”

Wang Chengen pointed to the impeachment of Li Zhi on a table and asked, "The emperor is wise, what about these impeachment recitals against Li Zhi?" ”

"Stay in the middle and don't send it!"

He Shishou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been a little bored recently.

Some time ago, he was shocked when he heard the news that Li Zhi was collecting commercial taxes on Tianjin West Road. Before Li Zhi became bigger, he was always submissive, and he couldn't see his political tendencies. But now that he has made great achievements, he has aimed the butcher's knife at the Shang gentry, which is to be the enemy of the world's corporal and the sages of Donglin.

Knowing of the commercial tax turmoil in Tianjin, the sages of Donglin immediately wrote to impeach Li Zhi, but all the pieces on the table were left by the Son of Heaven.

He Shishou was favored by the Son of Heaven because he promoted Li Zhi before, but now he was ridiculed by the sages of Donglin because of his promotion of Li Zhi. Whether it is Shangshu Yushi, or the official to give things, they all sneered at He Shishou, saying that he promoted a "good talent"!

If this continues, his identity as a Donglin person will almost be expelled. Those Donglin party members gathered together to chat, and shut up when they saw He Shishou coming over, as if he He Shishou was a eunuch. The official impeachment of Li Zhi is not moving, maybe in a few days, the official will turn his head and impeach himself. This is very fragile as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he will be killed by the imperial historians in a few clicks. The more He Shishou thought about it, the more anxious he became.

On this day, the bored He Shishou came to the door of the cabinet deputy Kong Zhenyun to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as he saw He Shishou, Kong Zhenyun sarcastically said: "Shangshu is free to come to my house as a guest?" Why don't you hurry up and promote a few more Li Zhi to win the Sacred Heart of the Son of Heaven? ”

He Shishou said with a bitter face: "Elder Ge spare me, I am already in a hurry, and I am here to seek countermeasures from you." ”

Kong Zhenyun smiled: "What countermeasures? Now Shangshu has the appreciation of the Son of Heaven inside, and Li Zhi's Austrian aid outside, which is as stable as Mount Tai. ”

He Shishou smiled bitterly: "The sages of Donglin all avoid me like an enemy, and I can't live anymore!" ”

Kong Zhenyun chirped: "Donglin doesn't appreciate Shangshu, his own eunuchs can afford Shangshu, why should Shangshu be afraid?" ”

He Shishou arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "Then Li Zhi is just collecting business taxes, but what does it have to do with the eunuchs?" ”

Kong Zhenyun said: "Doesn't Shangshu know? That Li Zhi took in the remnants of the eunuch party. As far as I know, there is a eunuch named Han Jinxin who is doing things for Li Zhi. This time, the handwriting of Song Daoming, who framed the soldiers, came from this eunuch remnant Han Jinxin! ”

He Shishou smashed his tongue and said, "This Li Zhi actually dares to take in the remnants of the eunuch party? The old man is really blind! ”

Kong Zhenyun snorted and said: "Now that the matter is now, if Shangshu is no longer difficult, the sages of Donglin will look at Shangshu in a different light!" ”

He Shishou lowered his head and sighed, and said: "I originally wanted to introduce this Li Zhi as an Olympic aid, but I didn't expect him to dare to collect business taxes and use eunuchs!" The old man is really ignorant. So far, I can only cut him off with him, and I will do my best! Ge Lao Mingjian, I will impeach Li Zhi tomorrow, and attack him as a remnant of the eunuch party! ”

Kong Zhenyun said with a smile: "Shangshu will definitely be able to get rid of suspicion if he acts like this!" ”

He Shishou bowed to Kong Zhen and sighed.

On 9 February, Li Zhi stood at the gate of the Military Reserve Mansion on the Middle Road with the lively Tianjin civil and military officials. Everyone watched Jinyiwei collect documents at Song Daoming's house, seal the money and belongings, and copy the military mansion to the bottom. More than 50,000 taels of silver have been found in Song Daoming's home, although there is no direct evidence of bribery, but the 50,000 taels of silver from unknown sources are enough for the Son of Heaven to judge him as a corrupt criminal.

Speaking of which, this Song Daoming has been an official for decades, and he has really made a lot of money. The Son of Heaven copied Song Daoming's house and benefited a lot.

Li Zhi stood in the middle of the officials, very proud. The three guards of Tianjin West Road stood beside Li Zhi with a flattering face, and kept saying good and obedient.

"General Longhu has won this great victory, and no one on Tianjin West Road dares to disobey the general's order!"

"The Son of Heaven favors the general so much, and the general can now greatly display it on the West Road!"

"If the general still wants to cultivate new fields in Jinghai County, notify me and I will send someone to find land!"

Li Zhi has also been an official for a few years, and he is not very interested in the hard work of the three guards. He smiled and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Everyone stood for a long time, and then they saw Song Daoming's family supporting each other and walking out. That Song Daoming didn't know if he was suddenly hit by such a change, and he trembled when he walked, and the whole person suddenly aged ten years old.

Song Jinyu also lost his former spirit, with tears on his face, standing behind his father, wiping his tears with his hands from time to time.

Governor Cha Dengbei received Song Daoming's silver, walked up quickly to support Song Daoming, and said, "Where is Mr. Song going now?" ”

Song Daoming looked at Cha Dengbei, bowed his head and said, "The sinner will go to Shanxi to take refuge with the nephew of the county magistrate, don't worry about the governor!" ”

Song Daoming stole his eyes and glanced at the officials at the door, saw Li Zhi, and his body trembled.

Song Daoming abandoned the governor, staggered to Li Zhi, and knelt down with a puff.

"Song Daoming didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick at that time, and he collided with General Longhu, and Xiao'er also obstructed the general from collecting business taxes, and he deserved death. However, Xiao'er and I have been stripped of our fame, and we are just ordinary people from now on, I hope that General Longhu will let my family go and stop chasing and killing us! ”

Song Jinyu also knelt down with his father, and said with tears: "I hope that General Longhu will let our family go!" ”

Li Zhi looked at Song Jinyu and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do with you, as long as the Son of Heaven is not angry and your family has so much silver, no one will remember you!" (To be continued.) )
