Chapter 662: The building will fall, what can the husband say

"Scholar Wang, please mourn and change ......" This time it was Zhengde's turn to persuade Wang Wei. 【】

Wang Wei buzzed in his head, and in an instant, he finally understood what Tang Bohu's eyes meant, and at the same time, he also understood where his ominous premonition came from.

The Jiangnan coalition army was actually defeated, and Xie Hong also carried out retaliatory actions, and even the retaliation operations have been carried out, everything is over...... I have to say that to be able to be in a high position, and when he was young, he had the title of prodigy, Wang Wei's IQ is quite high, Zhengde just mentioned the beginning, he has already guessed the end, and he doesn't need Zhengde to elaborate on the details.

Although he was also puzzled, how could such a powerful coalition army fail, how could Xie Hong complete a series of actions within two months, and even have the spare time to send a message to the capital, so that the emperor staged such a play.

However, he knew very well in his heart that although the emperor likes to mess around, he generally does not deceive people, except for misleading, of course, because he knows very well that most of the time, Zhengde is not intentional, it is just the revelation of his real surname...... Therefore, since the emperor said that there were Japanese invaders who invaded Jiangnan and broke through Wu County, that is true. Moreover, there is only one truth, that is, Xie Hong is taking revenge.

"Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Jiaxing...... There are indeed many righteous men in the land south of the Yangtze River, and each family has prepared a lot of samurai, ready to contribute to the imperial court at all times, and in the face of the invasion of foreign captives, they are also resisting vigorously, killing and wounding a lot of Japanese ......."

Zhengde's voice still echoed in his ears, but Wang Wei and those Jiangnan people who were the backbone of the party in the court were all dead, because their hometowns were included in the names of places counted by Zhengde, and Zhengde also made it clear that those families who were attacked had samurai in their homes...... Needless to say, who was attacked? If you are a common person, you will have at most two kitchen knives at home, and you can't be called a samurai in any case. Remorse, sorrow, anger, despair, all kinds of tastes, all in his heart, Lu Wan himself was a little surprised, the first emotion that came to his mind was not anger, but remorse.

Remorse: Did you go against Xie Hong? Or do you regret that you didn't do it sooner and get rid of this scourge? Lu Wan himself couldn't figure it out, like other Jiangnan colleagues, he cast helpless eyes on Wang Wei, hoping that this young and prestigious, old and strong leader of the party could show them a clear way, so that everyone could regain their spirits, just like before.

"Your ......Majesty" Wang Wei was even more affected than Lu Wan and the others, after all, he was the one who bore the brunt, and the greater his hope for this action, and even just now he was misled by Zhengde a little fluttering.

Although he felt the eyes of his colleagues asking for help, the old man also wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he was speechless. His mental state was very poor, and from time to time there was a roar in his head, which shook his ears and buzzed; The eyes are also a little blurry, and sometimes they will be black; The throat kept surging, and the mouth was overflowing with a sweet, fishy taste.

Tang Bohu's estimation is not quite correct, Wang Wei's state is much stronger than Gongzi Degang, firstly, no one drugged him, and secondly, because his own city is deep enough, and he has also been trained for a long time, so he did not fall headlong, so he whined and mourned.

Not only that, but the old man was even thinking about countermeasures, which was worthy of his name as Zaifu. But the more this happens, the deeper his pain becomes, what to do? What can be done?

Even if you don't consider the emperor's strength, it doesn't make sense to just talk about reasoning. When Zhengde invaded by pirates in advance, and even when it was mixed with Japanese people, Wang Wei did not object, and also expressed a considerable degree of approval, where is it too late to regret it now?

Questioning why the Japanese invaders didn't harass the people and stared at the big families to kill? This kind of language greatly violates the Confucian concept of benevolence and righteousness, and belongs to the unspoken rule that you can only do but not speak. What's more, those private soldiers of each family don't know how to explain it, and the emperor can fight back casually.

"In this matter, the Governor's Office of the Japanese Dynasty is responsible," Zhengde said in a fierce voice: "I obviously entrusted the affairs of the Japanese Dynasty to Donghai Bo, but he failed my expectations and neglected his duties, causing the Japanese to sneak across the sea route and bring disaster to Jiangnan, so we must be severely punished to set an example!" ”

A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Wan's heart, could it be that the emperor was not all acting before, did he really have a dislike for Xie Hong? Otherwise, how could he take the initiative to punish Maang severely? If this is really the case, it is not that I am unwilling, and this sacrifice can be regarded as sacrificing my family for the country!

The wife is good to say, he is not old, there is always hope to spread the branches again, and the clansmen are easy to do, Xie Hong can only kill the descendants who live together, but those side branches on the genealogy may not suffer, can't the thief still kill according to the genealogy according to the map?

Wang Wei's expression didn't change at all, he just stood so indifferently that he didn't even raise his head. This thing will definitely not be the same as the ideal result, after being fooled so many times, who will be fooled again?

"I have decided to impose a fine of half a month on Donghai Bo to thank the souls of the victims in the sky." Sure enough, Zhengde's words confirmed his idea.

Lu Jianjing hung a heel and fell down, fined half a month? Can this also be called a punishment?

For the wage earners of later generations, if they are fined by the boss for a few months, they will definitely jump to their feet, there is no way, they are all poor people who have eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, and the salary of a few months is in ashes, which is really unaffordable.

But for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, except for a few people from the imperial history and the cold yamen, few people lived only on the fortunes of the imperial court. Therefore, the penalty itself is the lightest punishment, even the Hongzhi Emperor, who is praised by hundreds of officials, often uses this trick when he has nothing to do, which shows how weak and powerless this trick is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a punishment that symbolizes the surname.

Moreover, this symbolic surname is also related to the amount of fine, the penalty of three months is definitely lighter than the penalty of half a year, as for the fine of half a month...... The emperor himself is embarrassed to say that he cares about this bit of silver, which is not the dignity of the heavenly family!

The most important thing is that the Governor's Mansion of the Japanese Dynasty was not a regular establishment of the Ming Dynasty at all, and Maang, the governor, did not receive a salary at all, at least from the books of the household department.

There was no precedent in the Governor's Palace, and when it was established, the scholar party had not been completely divided, and most of the courtiers were opposed, but Zhengde was used to doing it his own way, where to care so much, and there was no cabinet vote to make a central order, as long as the person who received the order agreed. Therefore, in the strict sense, the governor of the Wa Dynasty was not a formal institution of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Zhengde completely overwhelmed the Shi Party and seized power, so he could have made up a new vote. However, with Zhu Houzhao's classmate's surname, where is he impatient with these, since he has already made the will, then the matter is solved, what do you do to ignore other people's opinions?

As a result, the governor's palace was so far away from the court, it was a happy situation, the ministers gained face, the emperor got benefits, and only Maang, the governor, was a little sad, because the household never paid him a salary.

Of course, he doesn't care about himself, the oil and water of the country are abundant, and it is a lot of money to receive a gift casually, anyway, Brother Xie said, the alien race is used to squeeze at will, as long as the tax is paid according to the law, well, this tax is relatively new, called personal income tax...... All in all, the fine of Maang for half a month is equivalent to no penalty, and it is just an illegal surname in name to express the matter. Lu Wan is really incomprehensible, with the emperor's current strength, the party has been completely defeated in the court, why should he bother with this? Is it just to play on yourself and these people for fun?

Wang Wei had other thoughts, he glanced at Chaoban, and accurately found Wang Shouren in the crowd, the other party's expression did not change, but his eyes were a little complicated, he seemed a little helpless, and at the same time a little relieved, which made him a little puzzled.

Wang Shouren felt Wang Wei's gaze, he looked back proudly, his eyes were a little more sympathetic, the two looked at each other for a short moment, and before Wang Wei could understand the meaning, Wang Shouren had already stood up for the court.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a book."

"Mr. Wang, please speak."

"The Royal Fleet has been in operation for many years, and so has the new policy in Tianjin, both sides of which are working well, which fully validates the viability and many advantages of these two policies. Therefore, Weichen asked His Majesty to implement a new policy and open the sea ban for the sake of the society and the people of Li. ”

After two years, Wang Shouren made the same proposal again, and even had a lot more content than the previous proposal, but the situation he faced was completely different.

"Jiao Fang, a scholar of Chenhua Gaidian University...... Cao Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers...... Liu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs...... "Everyone in the imperial party has been waiting for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to perform, where will they let it go?"

“…… The ministers seconded the motion. ”

"Jiang Qing, the minister and political secretary, has a book, and now there are 3,200 gentry from Jiangnan who jointly played...... On behalf of the elders of Jiangnan, they ask for their lives, and may Your Majesty implement a new policy in the land of Jiangnan with a generous heart and bless Jiangnan ......"

Jiang Qing deliberately lagged behind and stood up, although his momentum alone was not as strong as that of dozens of people seconding in unison, the content of his words was heavier than the weight of those dozens of people combined.

The people of Jiangnan are represented, but these people do have that qualification, the gentry are the foundation of the feudal dynasty, and their response together is much more important than the response of ordinary civilians.

Wang Wei glanced at Wang Shouren again, and finally suddenly realized that this is the emperor or Xie Hong is planning for the future governance, non-criminal killing, of course, this kind of thing is against the law of the imperial court, but the effect of this trick is very good, and he directly gave himself a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

This matter cannot become a regular rule, so even if it is superficial, it is still necessary to make a gesture of punishment so as not to leave a bad example for future generations.

And these people, hehe, he smiled miserably, obviously, he has been ignored by others as dead people. In fact, he was indeed defeated, his family and wife could not be protected, and his henchmen also fell with the wind.

A wisp of blood spilled out from the corner of Wang Wei's mouth, slowly flowing down his jaw, and falling on top of the white beard, red and white, looking so shocking.
