After thinking about it, Hai Rui wrote a reply to Xu Jie, and praised a few sentences at the beginning: "Read the book of retreat closely, and know that Shengde is unexpected". Then the pen turned and said with a clear attitude: "But there is not much to retreat, and it is okay to clean up", so how much is it appropriate to retreat? This time he gave a quasi-half!

In Hai Rui's opinion, even if you retreat half, your Xu family still has more than 200,000 acres of land, and you are still the first rich man in Songjiang, what more can you ask for? If it weren't for the fear of forcing Xu Jiegou to jump over the wall in a hurry and the fish die and the net to break, which affected Qingtian's plan, with Hai Rui's temper, how could he tolerate such a huge family in front of him?

Perhaps because he felt that it was too cheap for the Xu family, Hai Rui's tone couldn't help but be scathing, and finally he wrote: "In the past, people changed the government of their fathers, and the gold of the seven houses was scattered in a moment, and the public could change the father to the son. ’

After receiving Hai Rui's reply, Xu Jie smiled, but his smile was full of murder, he clenched his fists with both hands, and his left eyebrow suddenly jumped...... This sea barbarian is so unreasonable! is so inch-inch, he has to retreat another 200,000 acres! What else do you say: 'In the past, people changed the government of their fathers, and the gold of the seven houses was scattered in a moment, and it was impossible for the public to change their fathers to their sons!' Although he didn't directly target himself, didn't he still mean that his son had taken too much, let himself scatter all his wealth, and change his greed to quit his son?

After all, Xu Ge Lao does not have the courage to 'come back after his daughter is gone', not to mention, he can't retreat anymore.

The previous retreat was a strategic retreat for victory, but now if you retreat again, you have to make the world laugh off your big teeth, Xu Ge can't afford to lose this person! Decided not to back down anymore, he immediately sent a letter to Hai Rui, saying that he had cleared all the land within five years, regardless of the reason, and I don't know which other fields belong to the 'seizure', so I can only ask the government to check it itself. Xu Jie, who was able to endure it in every possible way, finally couldn't bear it anymore and didn't take a step back.

Of course, Xu Jie's toughness is justified, because there is no restriction on the amount of private land owned by the Ming Dynasty, but it is strictly forbidden to 'bully and conceal field grain'...... Only by concealing the number of fields and underreporting the harvest will affect the tax revenue of the imperial court, will it become the target of attack. Moreover, the "Da Ming Law" also allows the sale and purchase of land, as long as the "tax deed" is complete, the transaction of land will be protected. And no matter what the reason, as long as the sale is more than five years old, the buyer and seller cannot sue for any reason.

Now that the Xu family has retired from the five-year built-in field, legally speaking, it has been invincible, so Xu Jie has nothing to fear!

On the other hand, he began to write frequently to his protégés, asking them to give Hai Rui some color together at the right time......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At that time, Hai Rui replied to Xu Jie's letter and issued a "Surrender Order" to Songjiang Prefecture, demanding that all the owners who were sentenced to return the land must withdraw from the illegally annexed fields by the end of the year. The government will re-measure and register after the fifteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Longqing, and if any one has not withdrawn by then, it will be severely punished! A storm of land redistribution has formed, and the eunuchs of Songjiang Prefecture have been completely shaken, and they know that this time they have really been stabbed to their necks.

So he couldn't care about avoiding suspicion anymore, and came to Xu Ge's hometown one after another to ask him to uphold justice. Xu Jie told them that he was targeted by Gao Gong this time, and his words not only did not work, but also had the opposite effect, so he could only remain silent and accept it...... If you want to protect yourself now, you can only rely on you to save yourself.

Xu Jie can't count on it, the squires can't sit still? I had no choice but to give feedback on Hai Jui's actions in his hometown through their own channels...... For example, "instigating the people to file complaints, causing commotion in the market and big households to Dumen," "rather than subjugating the small people, preferring to yield to the township officials, and enforcing the law unfairly," and "coercing the township officials to withdraw their fields in the name of 'self-clearance,' regardless of whether they 'seized' or not," and sent many charges to the village.

As a result, in the city of Beijing, which was approaching the end of the year, criticism of Hai Rui's behavior in Susong gradually rose...... In fact, there have been people attacking Hai Jui before, but they have all been suppressed by the cabinet. But as more and more people complained to the court, the cabinet could not be completely covered. Fortunately, Gao Gong was still righteous, and under the pressure of Hai Rui, he publicly affirmed his work attitude and achievements, but criticized his working methods, thinking that he should be more thoughtful.

However, at the end of the third year of Longqing, an impeachment from Su Song and Dai Fengxiang made Gao Gong unable to cover it...... Dai Fengxiang counted all kinds of crimes against Hai Rui in the recital, and said: "Hai Rui, everyone says that he is a clean official and loyal, but I found that he sells his reputation and reputation, is like a traitor, greedy for personal fame and fortune, and disrupts the law and discipline, and is completely incomprehensible to the way of being an official. Allowing Diao people to arbitrarily sue the squires and unreasonably deprive others of their legal property, resulting in the folk rumor that 'it is better to plant fertile fields than to sue for thinness'. He also said that Hai Jui's other policies also had many drawbacks, including 'colluding with the Japanese and the Japanese', 'capturing the city', and 'robbing the warehouse and cutting off the customs', resulting in the crimes of 'losing the luggage and cutting off the fireworks'. This is a must-have bible for those who create rumors and slanderers out of nothing.

However, Dai Fengxiang is Su Song's patrol, and he naturally has the most say in what Hai Rui did, and his official reputation has always been very good, and he also has the reputation of a clean official. What's more, his accusations are not all without evidence, at least about Hai Rui's indulgence in 'Diao Min falsely accusing the squire and unreasonably depriving others of their legal property', there is both human and material evidence!

In fact, those evidences were made up by Dong Ji, Xu Ying's doorman...... Let the people sue first, and then make the landlord deliberately seize the property. After the verdict was handed down, those landlords took the note and went to the people of the press to complain, Dai Fengxiang did not know that there was fraud, so he was naturally convinced...... He was originally unhappy that Hai Rui would steal his limelight as soon as he arrived in Susong, and he couldn't look down on Hai Rui's rampage methods, and his heart was full of prejudice. Now that I have seen the ironclad evidence that someone in Hai arbitrarily judged the case and caused innocent people to lose their property, can Dai Xun not sue him fiercely?

The power of this shape is indeed too great, and even the high arch is a little hesitant. Because in recent days, the rumors of Hai Rui's persecution of Xu Gelao in Songjiang have been known to both the government and the opposition. In those rumors, Hai Jui was said to be a reckless and inflexible, dogmatic and inflexible; Xu Jie, on the other hand, is described as a poor old man in his last years, who was ruthlessly persecuted after relinquishing his power and retiring to the countryside...... What made Gao Gong even more depressed was that everyone thought that Hai Rui was actually just a knife, just a tool that he Gao used to rectify Xu Jie. Although this kind of drama is bloody, it is the most hateful...... hated that someone was so powerful that he wanted to kill them all; It is so pitiful that Xu Ge is old, and the year of Sangyu will be in deep trouble.

Even Emperor Longqing, who has never asked about government affairs, didn't know where he heard about it, and euphemistically talked to Gao Gong about Xu Ge's contributions in the past, and the implication was obvious, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, let go of the old chief.

Gao Gong was speechless, and he was forced to be very passive, this was the first time after his comeback.

At this juncture, Dai Fengxiang's badge has arrived, how do you let Lao Gao protect Hai Rui again? I can only say, let's see how Hai Rui defends himself.

Sure enough, a few days later, Hai Rui's self-defense arrived, and he was still full of high-spirited Hai's style: "The argument with Dai Fengxiang is a small matter, and not being able to fulfill his responsibilities for the court is a big deal." Wechen only exercised the relevant functions and powers according to the emperor's authorization, and there was nothing wrong at all. With the necessary support, I could make a radical difference in a matter of months. However, now, the service has not been leveled, the army has not yet grown, and 'it is forbidden to make false accusations and unsettled, and it is forbidden to be extravagant and extravagant'...... Hai Rui resolutely said: "Weichen is just a negative country, but Fengxiang is a bully, and the two are not lenient!" 'Please ask the emperor to dismiss himself and Dai Fengxiang together to set the record straight.

Seeing that Hai Jui did not admit his mistakes, those imperial histories that had been silent for a long time finally couldn't hold it back, and began to fire guns one after another, arguing that Hai Jui was a moral cleaner with great ambitions and talents and a narrow temperament from all angles. This kind of person is incapable of guarding the pastoral side, and should be placed in Nanjing to provide for an idle job, and he should not be allowed to harm the local people anymore.

The imperial history of the two capitals echoed each other and attacked together, and the impeachment note hit Hai Rui like snowflakes, and he had to be suspended from his post to wait for treatment according to the usual practice, and the vigorous retreat had to be stopped. Those big households who originally planned to retire their fields turned to wait and see, waiting for the day when Hai Jui was ousted from power. They arrogantly shouted at the small people who dared to snatch food: 'The one surnamed Hai will not last until the spring of next year, and as soon as he leaves, he will let you return with interest!' ’

The common people were all extremely disappointed, and some of the timid began to turn around and beg for mercy, and even asked the defendant who lost the case to go to the government with him, hoping to change the land deed back. Wang Xijue was so angry that he scolded: "I think this is a playhouse, don't even think about it!" As soon as the officers and soldiers closed the door of the office, they returned to the back hall in a huff, and saw Haidutang, dressed in civilian clothes, still buried in sorting out the yellow book of next year's Qingzhang Tianmu.

"Dugong, you are really calm...... Wang Xijue couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I were replaced, even if I forced myself to be patient, I wouldn't be able to do such a fine job now." ”

"Time is running out," Hai Rui didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "People are suspended, but time doesn't stop." There are less than 20 days left before the start of clearing the fields, and there are still so many things to do, how can you do it if you don't hurry up? As he spoke, he looked at him and said, "Don't talk about it, let's get to work quickly." ”

"Dugong ......" Wang Xijue sat at his table and unfolded a field book, but it was really as he said, he couldn't stand it, so he had to speak again: "Don't you worry, the court will remove you?" ”

"What's the use of worrying? I, the governor, originally fell from the sky, and I'm not welcome to be gone. Hai Rui finished reading a field book, put it neatly in the box at hand, and suddenly sighed lightly: "Say I'm not worried, it's fake, but I'm not worried about anything else, but we have forgotten to sleep and eat for a few months, and finally opened a breakthrough." Seeing that the clearing of the fields is about to begin, if I are removed at this time, will the new governor start anew, or simply go back to the past, and wear a pair of pants with those big households? ”

"It shouldn't be ......" Speaking of the affairs of the Beijing Imperial Court, Wang Xijue is much more sensitive than Hai Rui, and he smiled: "As long as the cabinet is Gao Shen and Zhang, then fiscal and tax reform will be a national policy, and Qingzhang Tianmu as its foundation is a step that cannot be shaken, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go out." After hesitating, he still whispered: "Even if he changes governors, he will have to go down your path...... Because what you have designed is already the best way to go. ”

"When you say that, I have faith." As they got along for a long time, Hai Rui's trust in Wang Xijue also increased dramatically, and he knew that this son was not a thing in the pool. At such an age, in terms of judging the current situation and people's hearts, he is a step above himself. Putting away his thoughts, Hai Rui smiled and said: "There is more reason to step up work, even if the result is not good, it is the predecessors who planted trees and the descendants who take advantage of the shade......" said and continued to work hard.

Looking at Hai Rui's increasingly thin figure and obviously grayer hair, Wang Xijue's eyes moistened. He kept in correspondence with Shen Shixing in the capital, knowing that if this trend continued, the position of Su Song, the governor of Hai Daren, would change hands.

Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, Beijing.

Faced with the snowflakes flying in the bullets, Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't help but ask whether to transfer Hai Rui away for a period of time to relieve the pressure on the cabinet and himself.

Gao Gong was silent, he was really about to lose it...... The great cause of reform has just been launched, and everything is complicated, and it is precisely the sincere unity and concerted efforts of all quarters that are needed. Any major controversy or contradiction may lead to unnecessary troubles and even affect the overall reform plan.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng observed his words and looks, and it was precisely when he saw that Gao Gong had a heart of compromise that he would make this suggestion...... After all, he is the heir of Xu Jie, the current head of the Xu Party, and at this time, he needs to take a stand. I have to admit that Zhang Juzheng's political skills have finally been perfected, and the choice is too good at this time, which will not arouse Gao Gong's disgust, but also add fuel to the fire, so that Gao Gong can make up his mind. When I'm done, I might as well go back and brag about it, and see, it's all my credit......

If it weren't for that person, he would have succeeded. It's a pity that there is no what if......

After Gao Gong pondered for a long time, he said slowly: "You write a letter and ask Jiang Nan what his opinion is." ”

"This," the corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that you hadn't forgotten him, but he didn't dare to reveal it at all, and hurriedly responded: "Yes......"

"Forget it." Gao Gong said again, Zhang Juzheng was happy in his heart, that is, he is now on a campaign, why do you bother to do this.

"I'll write it myself." Gao Gong continued.

Zhang Juzheng rolled his eyes and scolded secretly: "Can you not gasp? ’――

The second watch, the last day of the beg, the number of votes is so shabby, the cold night of ice and rain begs for warmth......
