When Wang Yue was in Guangdong, a major event happened in Beijing that attracted the attention of many people.

The cause of this major event was that a person named Zhang Hanru reported and exposed his fellow countryman Qian Qianyi. Zhang Hanru is just a master, and he dares to accuse Qian Qianyi. When the local bully Qian Qianyi didn't take this matter seriously at all, he didn't expect someone to come to Beijing, so without saying a word, he took Qian Qianyi into Beijing.

"In August, the traitor Zhang Hanru spied on Wen Tiren and wanted to sin Donglin, so he entered his door and conspired with Ding, which was to defamate Qian Qianyi and Qu Shi's illegality in the township. Tiren presided over it, and arrested the two and sent them to prison for strict interrogation. This is the historical record.

It turns out that all this is a ghost made by Wen Tiren, it is said that Qian Qianyi is eating himself at home, Wen Tiren should let him go, leave a line in everything, and I really want to see him in the future. Wen Tiren didn't do it, he had to kill Qian Qianyi, he had to kill him if he had the opportunity, but if he didn't have a chance, he would have to kill him if he created an opportunity. Because when he was an official in the same dynasty before, Qian Qianyi was his sworn enemy.

Zhang Hanru listed Qian Qianyi's 58 crimes, which was definitely to kill him. Qian Qianyi, who was imprisoned, still has a lot of ways, and he is not bad for money and bribes, and his treatment in prison is not too bad. He can still get pen and paper and write a letter to the emperor, and he wants to defend himself. However, these letters sank into the sea, and Zhu Youzhen ignored him.

At this critical juncture of life and death, Qian Qianyi thought of Cao Huachun. This "moral gentleman", Qian Qianyi, who has to fight resolutely against the eunuchs in both the government and the opposition, asked Cao Huachun, the eunuch of ceremonies, for help at this time.

Cao Huachun has no interests with Wen Tiren, and he has nothing to do with Qian Qianyi, so why should he help him? This is because of a eunuch named Wang An. Who is Wang An? He has two cronies, one is named Wei Zhongxian and the other is Cao Huachun. Therefore, Wang An is the big boss of the eunuch world.

When Wang An died, he needed an epitaph. And this epitaph was written by Qian Qianyi.

Cao Huachun is still a relatively affectionate eunuch, and he has always remembered Qian Qianyi's good, after all, not anyone who was born in a Jinshi can write such a thing as writing an epitaph for a eunuch.

Cao Huachun is the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and has great power. Moreover, Wang Dehua, the admiral and eunuch of Dongchang, is also his old department. Cao Huachun found Wang Dehua for an activity, and this matter actually had an eyebrow.

Wen Tiren was unconscious, and he was bent on killing Qian Qianyi, and seeing that Cao Huachun was also involved, he simply joined Cao Huachun to do it. He found someone to spread rumors that Cao Huachun had accepted bribes from Qian Qianyi, and then there were witnesses. In order to do something like, Wen Tiren also asked for leave to rest at home and make a look of avoiding suspicion.

Now Cao Huachun is hairy, Nima, if you do it with me, then I'm sorry. Cao Huachun took the initiative to attack, first reported to Zhu Youzhen, saying that there was such a thing, such and such a thing, and now he was involved in the slave. Wronged! Please ask Your Majesty to send Dongchang to investigate, and return the slave and maid to innocence. As soon as Chongzhen heard this, he ordered Dongchang to check for me, and find out.

In this place of Dongchang, it is really necessary to clean up people, and it is hard to say whether the living will become dead people when they go in, but they will definitely become disabled people. All kinds of torture waiting, Zhang Hanru and the so-called witness, where can they resist. It is estimated that there is no need to be tortured, and I will pee when I pull it in and look at the torture tools. Everything, what a seven-year-old peeking at a widow taking a bath, eight-year-old molesting a maid, nine-year-old learned to masturbate himself, and so on.

At this time, Wen Tiren was confessed, and the interrogation results were sent to Chongzhen, and the conclusion was: "Tiren has a party."

What is it? This is bullying the monarch, bullying the monarch for a long time, and the most taboo thing in Chongzhen is that the ministers have a party.

Because of the results of the interrogation, Wen Tiren had to make a show and hand in a resignation. Shoufu, always have to be like this, and then wait for the emperor to keep it. Even if the emperor didn't want him to stay, he had to keep it three times, which was a matter of politeness.

As a result, Chongzhen played very simply, and directly approved the three words "let him go", this time, Wen Tiren completely got rid of it. Chongzhen united with the Manchu Qing because of Wen Tiren's plan, but it ended in failure, and he had long been unpleasant.

The career of officialdom fighter Wen Tiren has come to an end, and looking back on history, it is not difficult to find. Comrade Wen Tiren's life was a life of fighting and a life of constantly digging holes for others. He threw his limited life into an unlimited struggle for power, and finally played himself to death with his own hands.

After the dismissal, Wen Tiren died the next year, dying of illness at home.

Wen Tiren stepped down, Zhou Yanru was successfully promoted to the first assistant, returned to the throne of the first assistant, and became the biggest beneficiaries, Liu Yuliang and Fu Guan were appointed as scholars of Dongge University and entered the cabinet to participate in politics.

Wang Yue had already learned about the situation in the imperial court through the daily report of the starting point city, but this was not what he wanted to pay attention to, what he was most concerned about was the tax collection led by Ruan Dacheng in Suzhou.

On 12 August, Ruan Dacheng arrived in Suzhou and took up the post of director of the city management bureau, with his office located in the backyard of the governor's office.

On 25 August, more than 730 trained and well-equipped chengguan officers began their tax collection work.

Three days before the tax was collected, the city managers posted notices throughout the city, according to the rules set by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang: Merchants with an annual turnover of less than 40 taels are exempt from paying management fees, and merchants with an annual turnover of more than 40 taels must pay a management fee of 15 percent of their turnover, which is collected on a monthly basis.

The collection department of the management fee is the newly established urban management bureau of Wang Yue, the governor of the Tianxun, and the collection of management fees starts from the Suzhou Prefecture and gradually advances to the counties.

As soon as the proclamation came out, the whole city was in an uproar!

Fools can see that this is a disguised collection of commercial taxes, and it is nearly five times higher than the thirty taxes set by Zhu Yuanzhang, which is really appalling.

When it comes to tax collection, as long as Suzhou people will feel panicked, the large-scale anti-tax movement in the Wanli period took place in Suzhou, which was a big riot of tens of thousands of people. After that, during the Apocalypse, he fought against the tax supervisor sent by Wei Zhongxian, and not only killed the tax supervisor, but also killed the Jinyi guard who came to arrest people. This incident was written by Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, into an article "The Tombstone of Five People" to praise the five heroes who resisted taxes, and this article was also used in Chinese textbooks for later generations.

Wang Yue also understood this history, in essence, the state collects taxes for state use, which is in line with legal principles. But the collection of commercial taxes touched the interests of the gentry, and behind the gentry was the Donglin Party or the entire civilian-bureaucratic group.

In the past, just looking at "The Tombstone of the Five", the Suzhou Civil Rebellion was a historical case of anti-power and anti-tyranny, and from the information that can be seen later, in a new term, the Suzhou Civil Rebellion is more like a typical case of collusion between officials and businessmen to resist the legal system. Therefore, what Wang Yue focuses on guarding against is the backlash of officials.
