When Yang Zhen set his eyes on the side of the Qin Cha Xingyuan, Zhong Yu, who was in the Xingyuan, had not yet fallen asleep, he stared at the roof above with a pair of eyes, but his mind was thinking about many things. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was not worried about the success or failure of Yang Zhen's war with several major families and Liu Yingji this time, Zhong Yu already had great confidence in this young man who was only nearly half a year old to himself. The extraordinary ability he showed on the way to Shanxi, the battle with many forces in Datong, and the luck of being able to kill the people surrounded by the Tartars in the end were the roots of Zhong Yu's strong confidence in Yang Zhen. He believes that as long as Yang Zhenken goes all out to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done and people who cannot be dealt with.

Of course, Zhong Yu is not worried about the future of the Zhong family. After being subject to the Zhong family several times, almost killing Yang Zhen, and causing so many soldiers to die in vain, his feelings for this family have become very indifferent. Although out of a filial piety, Zhong Yu could not personally attack the Zhong family, but he would no longer have any concern for this family, whether they were rich or poor, strong or lonely, they had nothing to do with him Zhong Yu.

What can make it difficult for Zhong Yu to sleep today is his judgment of the current situation in the world.

In this kind of house arrest, Zhong Yu has nothing to do all day long, so he naturally thinks too much. This thought too much, combined with his previous experiences, made him think of some problems that he had not really paid attention to before. It is a matter of the rise and fall of the world.

Two hundred years after the Ming Dynasty Chengping, the country still looks strong, but the inside has long been decayed, how many fatal problems continue to breed in it, and various forces continue to gnaw at this towering tree like parasites. Whether it is a huge number of officials, or an even more frightening number of clan children, they are a large group of parasites.

Obviously, the current Shoufu Zhang Ge Lao has also seen all this, so he will continue to implement new laws to try to get these parasites out of the big tree that is about to wither and collapse. But this kind of thing is not easy to say, even people like Zhang Gelao who have reached the peak of power are still struggling and cautious.

Before, Zhong Yu was still a little unimpressed with Zhang Juzheng's slow reform, and felt that he was too careful, so it was impossible to really change the general trend of the country. But now that I think about it, I'm still too young and impulsive.

Whether it is an official or a clan, they are not just scattered individuals, but a large, interested, and even completely united whole. As long as you attack any of them, it will inevitably cause a backlash from this class.

And that's not even the worst of it. What's even worse is the existence that has been ignored by Zhong Yu, those families and families that are hidden in the people and look absolutely unable to compete with the government, such as his Zhong family.

In normal times, these families do not look much different from ordinary people's families, so they have more population, more money, and more land. But after experiencing this incident, Zhong Yu finally understood that in fact, these seemingly harmless forces were larger and more terrifying than the other two forces. Because you have no idea how much potential they have, let alone where their bottom line is.

For the sake of their own wealth, these families were able to trade with foreign enemies such as the Tatars. For the sake of their own development and security, they can form an impenetrable network of relationships with local officials, and even officials in the capital. In order to save themselves, they can even sell thousands of soldiers to death at will...... This kind of behavior, as long as he thinks about it, Zhong Yu will feel creepy.

And such a family is not only in Shanxi, but also in Huguang, Zhili, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang...... How many such big families are there in the world, and how difficult it is for the imperial court to change the status quo. And he, although he thinks he is still a middle-class person, but after discovering this problem, he has no way to solve it at all.

In other words, there is no cure for this problem. Officials like Zhang Ge Lao in the DPRK and China can only watch helplessly at this, watching these local wealthy families embezzle the land and property that should belong to the country and the people, and eventually lead to the people's misery and chaos in the world!

When such a conclusion flashed in his mind, Zhong Yu's body lying on the bed unconsciously trembled: "Is it really impossible to change the way of the world?" ”

Just when he was terrified of the terrible crux he had in mind, there was a sudden knock on the closed door, and then a familiar voice came in: "Lord Zhong, the lower official Yang Zhen asks to see you." ”

"Huh?" Zhong Yu was pulled out of his mind by this, first stunned, and then wondered: "Why did he come here at this time?" How could you come to my door so easily? Could it be that ......" had doubts in his heart, but his movements were not slow, and he immediately turned over from the bed, put on his clothes, and promised: "Erlang, please wait for a while." ”

When the door opened, Zhong Yu saw a flying fish suit, and Yang Zhenzheng, who was magnificent, was looking at him with a smile.

Although Yang Zhen didn't have any blood stains on his body, and his expression was very relaxed, without the slightest hint of murderous intentions, Zhong Yu still felt something, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "But it's done?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled: "As the lord said, Liu Yingji and other criminal officials have been taken down by me, and Datong is now back under the control of the imperial court." ”

"Really?" Although a judgment had been made, after hearing the news, Zhong Yu still asked in disbelief.

"Otherwise, how could I have come to see the Lord so openly?" Yang Zhen turned pale as he spoke, and arched his hand: "Xia Guan came here at night to invite your lord to come forward to preside over the overall situation of Datong." ”

"Huh?" Zhong Yu was stunned again: "I'll preside over the overall situation?" "He was a prisoner under house arrest just now, how can he preside over the overall situation in the blink of an eye, this change is indeed too fast.

Yang Zhen nodded very affirmatively: "Now that Liu Yingji and other officials have been taken down, it is when the Datong officialdom is panicking, and the lord naturally has this identity to preside over the overall situation." My lord, it is related to the stability of Datong, and even the safety of my northern Ming Dynasty, please don't refuse! With that, Yang Zhen bowed down and bowed.

The other party has said it to this point, how can Zhong Yu still refuse. He also knew that this was the most uneasy moment in Datong City, if there was no person with outstanding status and ability to stand up and calm the hearts of the people and the army, he was afraid that this extremely important border town of Datong would really be chaotic.

Even if he still had some worries in his heart, even if Zhong Yu's body was not as good as before because of the house arrest for many days, at such a moment, he still put aside his personal gains and losses, and nodded resolutely: "Since this is the case, then the official will reluctantly agree to you." However, I need your full support from Erlang, so you don't have to excuse me. ”

"The order of the adult, Yang Zhen dares not to obey." Yang Zhen clenched his fists again and said solemnly.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Yu also smiled reassuringly, and then said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then let me ask you something, how are you going to deal with Liu Yingji and other criminals?" He was naturally very dissatisfied with these guys, which was not only a personal vendetta, but also a public anger.

"The lower officials have now only thrown them into the prison of the governor's yamen, waiting for the adults to make the final decision. After all, if you hold the Qincha flag in your hand, you can do it cheaply. ”

"Oh? Don't you have a little opinion? Zhong Yu glanced at Yang Zhen with a smile and asked again. He could see that Yang Zhen was a very assertive person, and he must have a comprehensive consideration in this matter.

"Since the lord asked, the lower official will say what he means. If you want to save trouble, you can kill them all, so that there will be a lot less trouble. But this is not the most appropriate solution, and it may even cause a counterattack from those forces under them. Therefore, in the opinion of the lower officials, it is not too late to put them into custody first, and then report their charges to the court, so that His Majesty can convict them. Yang Zhen gave his own meaning.

Zhong Yu glanced at the young man deeply, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "He is indeed different from ordinary people. changed others, at this time, I was afraid that he would have shouted and killed those officials, after all, he almost died under the calculations of these people, and those soldiers in the Beijing camp...... "Thinking of this, his heart was stinging, those people died for themselves.

Finally, Zhong Yu pressed the guilt in his heart. Although he already felt that he was no longer worthy of being a court official, he still had to take responsibility at this juncture. Just wait for the matter of Shanxi and return to Beijing, and it will not be too late for him to ask the court for his resignation.

After making up his mind, Zhong Yu nodded: "Your idea is good, just handle it accordingly." ”

"Yes. I wonder if adults are still told? Yang Zhen responded, and then asked: "Now that the people guarding outside the line have been replaced by usable people, you can rest assured." ”

"There's only one thing I need you to do right away." Zhong Yu said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, please speak." In order to boost Zhong Yu's confidence, Yang Zhen looked very respectful, one by one, and always gave frequent salutes.

Of course, Zhong Yu saw the intention of his words and deeds, and he didn't feel a burst of warmth in his heart: "I want you to go back and rest immediately." You have worked too hard these days, now that Liu Yingji and other internal troubles have been eliminated, you don't have to work too hard and be sad, first nourish your mental head, and then think about how to do the next thing. Go ahead. ”

Yang Zhen was slightly stunned, and then smiled clearly: "Thank you for your concern, Xia Guan understands." I'm going to rest and talk to you tomorrow about how to solve that bigger problem. With that, he bowed his hand and turned to leave.
