On November 3 of the first year of Taichang, the first assistant party fainted during the court meeting. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info alarmed the Beijing Division.

On November 4 of the first year of Taichang, the first assistant Fang Congzhe submitted a letter of resignation due to physical reasons, but Zhu Youxiao rejected it.

On November 5 of the first year of Taichang, officials from all over the country wrote letters one after another, hoping to thoroughly investigate the Red Pill case. In addition, the Kyoshi Shizi began to gather at this time, preparing to petition the cabinet to request a thorough investigation of the case of the former emperor Hongmaru and bring to justice the traitors who murdered the monarch's father.

On November 7 of the first year of Taichang, the court meeting passed, and the content of the court meeting spread wildly all over Beijing, and one of them was the most eye-catching.

Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pointed out: "Congzhe has no intention of killing the king, but he has the crime of killing the king. If you want to resign the name of killing, it is inevitable to kill the truth.

Soon, all kinds of scripts appeared in the streets and alleys of Jingshi, some said that Zheng Guifei deliberately killed the first emperor, some said that Fang Congzhe was an accomplice, and some said that the first emperor even connected the eight royal daughters overnight and died of losing the sun.

Even the storytellers on the streets and alleys quickly developed a variety of scripts. The various plots are vivid and tactful, and the fragrance is incomparable.

But the general tone is determined that the people of Donglin are loyal to the country and vow to be clear about the rebels who plotted to kill the first emperor. Fang Congzhe, as the first assistant of the cabinet, has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter.

No matter how he justifies it, as the head of the cabinet, he should actually be regarded as the first person responsible for the death of the first emperor.

Qianqing Palace

Hou Guoxing stood in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, listening to Fang Congzhe's cry inside, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The first assistant of the cabinet, this is under one person, under ten thousand. Now it's been forced to this point.

"Aiqing, now that the country is in danger, the household department is empty, there is no silver in the inner treasury, the situation in Liaodong is dilapidated, and the people are waiting for it. The voice of Zhu Youxiao came from the hall.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is quite old, and now his old eyes ......are dizzy," Fang Congzhe's voice came out.

Hou Guoxing outside the hall shook his head, and the current situation is obviously that Fang Congzhe wants to protect himself. It seems that it is inevitable that the Donglin family will be dominant, but where should they go.

Soon, Fang Congzhe walked out of the palace gate, looking like Fang Congzhe, who was dozens of years old, Hou Guoxing bowed and said:

"Lord Fang, take care!"

Fang Congzhe turned his head to look at Hou Guoxing, who was guarding the side, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and said with a smile:

"Xiaoyou is a genius and knows how to resolve the current crisis."

Hou Guoxing was silent for a moment and replied:

"The momentum has been achieved, and there is no way to solve it, but the emperor will definitely ensure that Lord Fang will retire."

"Thank you, Xiaoyou, if the old man can tide over the difficulties, he will always repay the emperor's kindness." Fang Congzhe left with his hand.

Fang Congzhe, as an old fritter who has been in the sea for a long time, has long thought of a series of turmoil after Guan Yingzhen changed his position, and he directly pretended to be sick under Liu Yijing's aggressiveness that day, and escaped the political storm in the past few days.

In the past few days, Liu Yijing, Han Kuang, Zhao Lanxing and others have been busy in front of the door, and officials from various parties who were once attached to him have come to the door, hoping that the princes of Donglin can give them a way. What's more, they hope to change their flag and put themselves under the Donglin Gate.

Fang Congzhe, who had been sick for a few days, sneered in his heart, with Donglin's style, how could he give up this opportunity to fully control the court.

But after arriving at the court, I found that this group of Donglin gentlemen who resounded in Shilin did not have any plan to govern the country except for a set of well-known moral standards.

What's even more odious is that anyone who fails to meet their set of standards will be labeled as a traitor.

He had no faction from Zheben, and under the attack of Donglin, in order to protect himself, he took refuge in Zheng Guifei, who was Emperor Wanli at that time, but it should have taken refuge in Emperor Wanli. Because he was able to do Shoufu, it was originally used by Emperor Wanli in order to contain Donglin.

And these so-called traitorous parties who took refuge under Fang Congzhe's banner were nothing more than under the suppression of Donglin, in order to protect themselves, and they automatically joined together.

After sending off Fang Congzhe, Hou Guoxing entered the palace.

"Big brother, what should I do now?" Zhu Youxiao handed over a secret report from Dongchang.

Hou Guoxing took the secret report in front of him, and soon his brows were furrowed.

On November 3 of the first year of Taichang (9 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the evening), Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, entered the mansion of Liu Yijing, the second assistant, and returned on the fourth day (early morning).

On November 5 of the first year of Taichang, the British public Zhang Weixian entered Liu's mansion.........

On November 6 of the first year of Taichang, Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, entered Liu's mansion.......

On November 4 of the first year of Taichang, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division entered the Zhao Mansion (Zhao Lanxing) .......

On November 5 of the first year of Taichang, Yang Lian Yushi Gu Zao entered the Zhao Mansion ........

November 5 of the first year of Taichang,.......

The long list in front of him basically included important officials at all levels of the Ming Jingshi, and Hou Guoxing's hands trembled slightly.

"Where's the brocade guard?" Hou Guoxing asked.

"Nope!" Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and replied. The fist is clenched.

"Damn it!" Hou Guoxing slammed his fist on the table.

Luo Sigong's greed for money is understandable, and it is understandable that he is left and right, but it is unforgivable to choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.

Royal Eagle Dog, what use is there if it loses its meaning.

"What now?" Zhu Youxiao got up and asked.

The important characters in Beijing have all begun to move, and the current situation makes Zhu Youxiao not in a hurry.

Hou Guoxing put his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Youxiao's unwilling expression, and said:

"Don't worry, you must calm down at this time." After speaking, he patted Zhu Youxiao's shoulder and said slowly:

"Bear, you must endure! Give them everything they want! But we must keep the traitors they call them. ”

(Note: Recently, I heard that there is an anti-piracy chapter.,Rookie also try to see if you can.,The approximate meaning is that the spot is wrong.,The next day it's changing.。 In this way, the piracy is all wrong. The grass bird was uploaded first, and it was changed two hours later. ）

Let me note the comparison between Donglin's ruling and eunuch party's governance: (It will be changed to the text later)

Comparison of people's livelihood during the period when the Donglin Party was in power and Wei Zhongxian was in power

edit

The finances of the Ming Dynasty were dominated by agricultural taxes before Wanli. Zhang Juzheng's reform, on the other hand, focused on taxation, shifting the focus from the collection of agricultural taxes to the collection of industrial and commercial taxes. Naturally, this greatly touched the industrial and commercial interest groups in Jiangnan, and in this context, the Donglin Party began to take shape. [10] As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, they abolished the tax system. The Wanli Emperor knew that the continued collection of meager agricultural taxes would not only be insufficient for the treasury, but also unbearable for the peasants. Wanli still tried to collect taxes from the capitalists in Jiangnan. Since the household department that manages the outer treasury does not accept industrial and commercial taxes, but only collects agricultural taxes, Wanli transferred industrial and commercial taxes to the inner treasury. This is the so-called Wanli greed for money. In fact, the money used by the three major levies of Wanli is the industrial and commercial tax of the inner treasury.

Through the three cases of "Court Attack", "Red Pill", and "Moving the Palace", the Donglin Party finally took control of the government for the first time after Wanli's death. They forced Taichang to abolish various industrial and commercial taxes. At that time, the development and imbalance of various regions in China. Jiangnan has developed industry and commerce, but there is no need to pay any taxes. The peasants in the northern provinces could hardly endure the high taxes and could not afford to eat in the event of a natural disaster. Just when the peasants in the north were in dire straits, what was the scene of the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River? Ximenqing in "The Golden Vase of Plums" is not only a virtual master of the trend of room and sexual hedonism that has been widely popular since the Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, but his story is a true reproduction of the commercial scene of "market sellers" and "profit-making at the end of the Yangtze River" in the late Ming Dynasty. From this, we can get a glimpse of the true face of those who are rich and unkind.

In addition to the normal way of doing business, Ximenqing is also suspected of tax evasion. According to the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, thirty taxes were one. In "The Eighty-first Episode of Han Daoguo's Abduction of Wealth and Escape to the Tang to Protect the Lord's Betrayal", Han Daoguo's silk goods of 10,000 taels of silver should be taxed more than 300 taels of silver. But after the tax card, Ximenqing started the relationship network, with 50 taels of silver bribes, got a letter of favor from the old man, when the tax card, the goods "two boxes and one box, three stops only reported two stops", and finally the goods were not inspected, only paid 35 taels of 5 money silver, and passed the customs in confusion. Of course, afterwards, Ximenqing also had to send a generous gift to the banknote. Probably even paying taxes and gifts, it only cost 100 taels of silver. The cargo ship that came to Bao came from Nanjing, and Ximenqing bribed him with 100 taels of silver, prepared a banquet gift for the tax official Xie Zhi, and evaded at least five or six hundred taels of silver. -- Here, the state suffered a big loss, the tax officials made small profits, and the biggest profit was Ximenqing.

However, the war in Liaodong was tight, and the treasury was empty. What to do!?

It was in this context that Wei Zhongxian appeared. How to do it, of course, is to find the Donglin Party to pay taxes. After a few years, the treasury began to be full again. Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall began to appear in various places. How can the Donglin Party sit still!

Apocalypse's death is a good opportunity. Chongzhen sided with the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian and then quickly, but Chongzhen only relieved him of his post and ordered him to guard the tomb. Wei Zhongxian died of grief and was buried by Chongzhen.

The Donglin Party is in power again. Of course, the abolition of excise taxes is the first step.

As for Liaodong, how to spend less money and how to do it. The shortage of wages in Liaodong has intensified. Coupled with the exploitation of officers at all levels, the soldiers got very little, and their morale was low. The generals of the Ming army wrote and asked for money every day, and Emperor Chongzhen was at a loss. The Donglin Party accused the Liaodong officers of improper command, ineffective combat, and embezzlement of military salaries. Throttling is often moralistic; How can you do it without open source! Of course, the Donglin Party will not increase the industrial and commercial taxes, and the burden will naturally fall on the peasants.

Finally, Li Zicheng's tactics of using snowballs are getting bigger and bigger. Storming Beijing, Chongzhen committed suicide. Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the customs. Lose its peak, lead the Tartar to occupy it.

Generally speaking, if the eunuch party is in power, the taxes paid by the peasants who farm the land will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the result of Donglin's ruling was that the people rose up.
