In the autumn, the eunuch Chu passed by Tianjin Wei and was shot by Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong with a cannon and sank a boat, and finally honestly paid the tax and silver fine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyone who hears this matter is nothing more than two evaluations of "absurd" and "bold", one is stationed in Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and the other is a eunuch with a royal horse eunuch, the identity of the two people is in the world, Wang Tong actually dared to stop it, and actually set up artillery to bombard, this is not bold.

In addition to gold and silver, local specialties, there must be a lot of gifts "sent" by others before leaving, this is the common sense of the world.

But this Wang Tong actually stopped the tax collection i1 and caused such a big conflict, this really doesn't know the rules, but when you think about it, this young master has done a lot of such things, and the evaluation is ridiculous.

Of course, local specialties and the like are often sold in Jingshi, or given away as gifts, and no one mentions this.

However, Wang Tong bombarded the Jinhe warehouse, and no one dared not pay the money of the Ping An brand inside and outside the Tianjin Acropolis, and this time the eunuch Chu was bombarded, and the effect was also very good.

Tianjin Wei's tax card on the canal, so far there is no decree in the palace, there is no clear text in the household department, some names are not right, nothing more than relying on Wang Tong to run Tianjin Wei prosperous abnormal, attracting people to do business, goods tax these money compared with the big profit There is a trade-off, don't want it.

Those officials and scholars who only walked by Tianjin Wei, merchants from the north and south, have a lot of opinions, everyone is used to entrainment, accustomed to tax exemption, and they are usually taxed, and no one is willing to do so, but the Tianjin Wei tax collector is fair, and the tax collector is drawn in accordance with the rules, and the smile welcomes people, if he is still unwilling to give, it is a real knife and a real gun to ask, these taxes are collected up, but they also provoke a lot of resentment.

As soon as the matter of the Chu eunuch came out, the people who crossed the border were honest, needless to say, what they saw that day, honestly declared the goods, paid the taxes and left, and the later merchants, what did not pay, what complained, the tax collector under Wang Tong just asked:

"Do you know the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Eunuch Chu Zhaoren, what kind of character he is, he doesn't hand over the border, my family has been bombarded, who do you think you are, why don't you pay it?"

If you don't believe it, there is a broken boat near the tax card, and it is the building boat of the Chu eunuch that was salvaged, and it is placed on the shore.

On the same day, he bombarded Chu Zhaoren, collected taxes and fines and let him go, Cai Nan also reminded Wang Tong worriedly:

"My lord did this, and made an enemy in Jingshi, it is better to write to Long Live Lord and Grandpa Zhang as soon as possible to explain, it is inevitable that right and wrong will be involved, and next time you must not be so reckless. Wang Tong's answer was very straightforward:

"If this Chu eunuch doesn't pay, it is a bad example, he doesn't pay, the people behind naturally have all kinds of reasons not to pay, he can beat our tax officer, naturally the people behind can also beat our tax officer, when the time comes, entanglement, it will be overwhelmed, and there is another point, what do we do in Tianjin Wei, it is precisely because we continue to send silver to the palace, who doesn't like the silver money, there are more than one million taels in the palace, and the cost is naturally much broader, they will naturally think of Tianjin Wei and me Wang Tong when they see this silver, not in the Jingshi, can't be close to your majesty, and only this method can stabilize our grace status, others resent, someone in the palace remembers, enough! ”

However, there is a sentence that Wang Tong did not explain, the resentment of the passers-by is concentrated on him, and no one mentions the palace that enjoys gold and silver every year, covering up the grievances for Shangfeng, which is also a great favor, and the palace will definitely remember it.

As everyone expected, after returning to Beijing, the imperial horse eunuch and the eunuch will go to the emperor and the queen mother to thank them, and the queen mother and the emperor will encourage and express a few words of condolences.

Similarly, everyone also guessed that Chu Zhaoren, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, had suffered so much grievance in Tianjin, and he would definitely come to sue because of this occasion.

“…… The slave maid just brought some gifts for the queen mother to the long live lord, but Wang Tong was going to take taxes from it, and the slave and maid argued a few words, and he actually drove the soldiers and horses to fight with the slave and maid's entourage, and ...... and bombarded the slave and maid's boat with artillery...... The slave and maid can't talk about any face, but that 5-pass is doing something like this, which is to ruin the reputation of the palace, and it is to corrupt the long-lived lord and the queen mother."

Hearing Wang Tong's bombardment of the building boat, the soldiers on both sides fought on the river, although the news had long been known in the palace, but at this time, the Empress Dowager Cisheng's face sank, and her brows furrowed.

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the side, had a tumultuous face, but Emperor Wanli glanced to the side, saw the empress dowager's expression, and saw Zhang Cheng bowing his head there, Feng Bao's face was not good-looking.

After all, this Chu Zhaoren is the person chosen by Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, and Wang Tong does this way, and he does have some kindness to beat the dog without looking at the master. Chu Zhaoren said clearly when he cried below, he once said the honorific title of the Queen Mother, but Wang Tong still acted recklessly, which is clearly disrespectful. "Chu Zhaoren, I heard that you came back from Nanjing and brought almost fifty boats of special products, the widow asked the Imperial Horse Supervisor today over there, Chu Zhaoren, you don't have a few gifts!"

was asked by Emperor Wanli like this, Chu Zhaoren, who was kneeling there, immediately turned pale, kowtowed again and again, and Empress Dowager Li frowned and said:

"Your Majesty, treat your subordinates with magnanimity first..."-"

Emperor Wanli hurriedly bent sideways and agreed, turned around and sat there again, his expression did not move, but after his words, Chu Zhaoren did not dare to say any more, Eunuch Chu finally understood at this time, no wonder that Wang Tong was so arrogant, it turned out that Long Live Lord did have this capital for such maintenance.

"Chu Zhaoren, you have always been respectful, the mourning family has only discussed with the Long Live Lord to transfer you back to Beijing to work as an errand in the Imperial Horse Prison, since you are back, then do things with peace of mind, do errands diligently, and there will be promotions in the future." The slave and maid thanked the Queen Mother and Long Live the Lord 9! jGrace, be faithful...... After saying the words of etiquette, Chu Zhaoren didn't dare to say anything, bowed down and retreated After waiting for someone to retreat, Empress Dowager Li said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "The grace of the heavenly family is to let that Wang Tong use it on errands abroad, but not to let him play prestige, Feng Bao, reprimand him below, let him restrain himself." ”

Emperor Wanli frowned when he heard this, and was about to speak, but when he saw Zhang Cheng on the side giving him a look, he shook his head slightly, and immediately stopped talking.

Every time it comes to this Wang Tong, Emperor Wanli has to maintain it, Empress Dowager Li naturally knows this joint, and several big eunuchs in the palace also understand that the atmosphere at this time is actually a little embarrassing, but no one thought that Emperor Wanli didn't make a sound, but there is nothing to say next, Emperor Wanli found an excuse, and got up to leave. Wanli left, but Zhang Cheng did not leave, Empress Dowager Li looked at the back of Emperor Wanli leaving, and said indifferently:

"Wang Tong's side is doing his best, and the mourning family also knows it, he can have no scruples and act recklessly because of the favor of the Long Live Lord, but this is a way to die, now he is just a small thousand households, it can be like this, if it is of great use in the future, what else will he do, Feng Bao You will stare at this time, and you have to teach him a lesson." Feng Bao hurriedly bowed down, Zhang Cheng hesitated there, took out a fold from his arms, and said in a low voice:

"The Queen Mother, Wang Tong has a fold over there, I arrived yesterday, and today I want to show the Queen Mother, and I just rushed to Chu Zhaoren's stubble, and it is not easy to hand it over, so I ordered the slave and maid to find a gap to forward it." Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said casually: "What is there to see, it's nothing more than to find a township reason for what you made, Wang Tong, this kid is slippery, do you think it's easy to use every time?" Zhang Cheng lowered his head and laughed dryly, bowed down and said: "After reading this excerpt, Long Live Lord felt that it was very reasonable, and instructed the slave maid to be presented to the Queen Mother's Imperial Tour, since Long Live Lord has a will." "Bring it in!"

Empress Dowager Li indifferently ordered, took the excerpt, opened it and glanced at it, on weekdays, hundreds of civil and military officials on the fold, or written by their own family, or written by the master, are all sprinkled articles, Wang Tong's excerpt is a few simple lines, long live the opening said, and said directly later

"The minister sets up a card for the Son of Heaven to collect taxes, the officials and people of the world, except for the reduction and exemption of His Majesty's will, no one can not pay, the gold and silver are sent to the palace, and the minister is scolded for being deserved, and he does not complain even if he is broken!!" Empress Dowager Li frowned and finished reading, threw the fold on the ground at once, and said in a cold voice: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it seems that the palace lacks his silver, and he is so arrogant, Feng Bao, immediately draw up an edict and go down!" ”

The so-called Ming is to go through the formal procedures of the celebrant and the cabinet, promulgate it all over the world, and the officialdom knows it, and as soon as such a will is made, the likes and dislikes of the heavenly family to someone will immediately spread all over the world, and the joy will be repaid, if it is evil, although it is only reprimanded and not disposed of, but the attitude shows that it is naturally a situation where the wall is down and everyone pushes it.

Hearing the queen mother's will, Feng Bao picked up Wang Tong's recital and bowed down to respond, but Feng Bao knew the content of the recital, and he hesitated when he got up on the ground, and said:

"The Queen Mother, since the increase in gold and silver, Tianjin Wei has sent 1.8 million taels of silver to Da Nei, and the slave maid also heard that Wang Tong did not even have a servant and maid in Tianjin Wei's mansion, and checked everywhere every day, but Wang Tong was indeed dizzy, if he did not reprimand, I am afraid that he would cause a big disaster.

After speaking, he got up and stepped aside, but the Empress Dowager Li sank down over there, and when Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng were about to leave, the Empress Dowager Li said slowly: "After all, this kid is on an errand in the palace, if it is clear, it will inevitably hurt his heart, let the emperor go up and reprimand a few words, and he will leave when he knows the lesson......
