Chapter 319: An Unexpected Big Guy Reaction

Wang Tong was the most favored courtier of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time, Zhang Ge Lao and the lords in the court were hostile to Wang Tong and quite disgusted.

Since Wang Tong became Wanli's confidant, whenever Wang Tong was mentioned at the court meeting, it would inevitably cause heated debates, and several official changes were caused by this.

Tianjin Weiben is a corner of the society, and the princes of the court will naturally not attach too much importance to the world, but that was in the past, and now there is Wang Tong here.

The eyes of the Son of Heaven are focused here, the Son of Heaven is the court situation, although it is now the Empress Dowager Li, Zhang Ge Lao and Feng Gonggong who preside over everything, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and now the emperor is still young, and it is difficult to say everything in the future.

Since the Son of Heaven cares about this side and has caused all kinds of incidents, no matter how you think about it, you must keep an eye on it, and there is a timely response to any disturbances. Don't get it to the court meeting, the little emperor Yanjing is already angry, Zhang Ge Lao and the party members will not give an inch, but they don't know the ins and outs of their own family.

Nearly 10,000 people in the Tianjin Acropolis entered the city to besiege the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office, as long as the eyeliner is not blind, such a major event can be seen clearly.

When the Hidden Pile Eyeliners saw that the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office was surrounded by groups, and everyone scolded and threw bricks and stones inside, everyone made a judgment - Wang Tong's political life was over.

After making this judgment, it was natural to pass on the news as soon as possible, but the people sneaked to the city gate, only to find that the army had entered the city and the city gate was closed.

Although Jin Yiwei asked everyone to stay at home and not go out, these eyeliner stakes also have some methods, and they can probably grasp what is happening in the city.

Everyone was surprised that Jin Yiwei was able to control the situation so quickly, but the judgment of Wang Tong's ending did not change.

The city gate opened, and the news of each family was quickly transmitted to the Jingshi.

************

The Qing Military Department of the Tianjin Acropolis is the agency in charge of civil affairs sent by Hejian Prefecture here, and Gao Tongzhi reports to Hejian Mansion.

He was the only official who knew that Chuantou Xiang had something to do with the Sanyang Sect, and after his news was delivered to Hejian Mansion, Hejian Mansion had to report it layer by layer, which was a few days later than the news from other places.

***********

"Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong is brutal and unkind, treats the people harshly, provokes civil uprising, and should be severely punished......"

"The Tianjin Acropolis is the place where the grain of the Jingshi and the three towns of the north is transferred, and Wang Tong is incompetent and reckless, and he is good at causing turmoil ......"

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for six years, the Holy Monarch is on top, the virtuous are assisted, the world is peaceful, but there is a great chaos in the Tianjin Acropolis, and the fault of this king is ......"

"Arbitrarily raising taxes, looting people's wealth, good people are forced, doing helpless acts, the fault lies with the officials and not the people, Wang Tong acted perversely in the Tianjin Acropolis, causing great difficulties, and should be punished for serious crimes......."

"Your Majesty governs the world, in reason rather than profit, competing with the people for profit, extracting taxes along the river, exploiting the good people by rectifying the sea and frontier, and finally stirring up such chaos, Wang Tong is a villain, the big crime is unforgivable, and Your Majesty's desire for profit is also at fault, you should introspect and self-examine......"

This was expected by all parties, and after the news of the siege of the Jinyi Guard Office by the Tianjin Wei people reached the Beijing Division, there was an immediate uproar.

Officials have been impeached, even scholars who have no official status are writing articles to criticize, wine shops, singing songs, storytellers, each of them sings this as the most up-to-date joke, and it is very exciting.

Naturally, several bigwigs in the DPRK and China knew the news earlier than the officials, but they didn't take any action, and they waited for the public opinion of the Jingshi to take shape and the person who took the idea set the tone before making a move.

The Beijing division is sparse, the Tianjin guards prepare the road, and the grain supervision has its own performance, and the report is handed to the ceremonial supervisor through the Department of General Administration, and the completion of these procedures is equivalent to the completion of the formal process.

The Son of Heaven can stay in the middle and not send it, but the courtiers can already talk about it.

*************

"Bastard!! A bunch of bastards!! ”

In the mansion of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant to the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, who has always been as stable as a mountain, is losing his temper, and he throws away all the folds in his hand.

The news of the chaos in Tianjin came, Zhang Juzheng's long follower You Qi immediately handed over the news, You Qi didn't look at Zhang Juzheng's subordinates, but the officials of the level of Shilang saw him and smiled and bowed his hand, politely called "Seventh Brother", and he was also a figure with a good hand, he knew that his master and the bigwigs in the Beijing Division had no good impression of this Wang Tong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng was so angry after reading this newspaper, You Qi originally wanted to wait to have a good time, but at this time, he lowered his head and stood aside tremblingly.

Zhang Juzheng took a few breaths, barely calmed down, and suddenly slapped the table again, and shouted:

"You Qi, go and call Liu Shouyou to come, and call Zhou Si'an from the Criminal Department!!"

Zhou Si'an is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Shouyou is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and You Qi is also confused, thinking that at this time, he should call a few scholars from the cabinet.

But he didn't dare to say much, so he hurriedly ran out to spread the word.

Although he is a minister in the same hall, one is the Shangshu of the six departments, and the other is the commander of the Jinyi pro-army, a big man with a noble identity, and the first assistant Zhang Juzheng is summoning, but it seems to be a house slave.

These two people didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, when the words came, they hurriedly rode a horse and sat in a sedan chair in their own house, hurried over, and saw Zhang Juzheng with a gloomy face as soon as they entered the door.

"The news from the fast horse over there in Tianjin, you two will take a look first, and then talk about it after reading it."

You Qi hurriedly handed over the fold, Liu Shouyou and Zhou Si'an hurriedly passed it on, and after a few glances, they roughly knew the situation, and looked at each other, Liu Shouyou was closer to Zhang Juzheng after all, and said cautiously:

"Ge Lao, Wang Tong is also a ...... of injustice"

"The old man asked you, did you participate in the civil unrest in Tianjin?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng suddenly asked this question, Liu Shouyou's body trembled, and he hurriedly defended and said:

"Ge Lao, how dare your subordinates do this kind of thing, even if you give your subordinates the courage to do it, please Ge Lao Ming!"

Zhang Juzheng's mood stabilized a little, and he commanded in a cold voice:

"Lord Liu, Lord Zhou, Tianjin Wei, the two of you have to investigate this matter to the end, who instigated it, who instigated it, and for what reason, you must give the old man a result within ten days."

Seeing that there were confused looks on the faces of the two people, Zhang Juzheng's anger had subsided a little, and he said:

"The old man can't get used to that Wang Tong, but also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, His Majesty's moral character, and no selfish grudges, but what is going on with the nearly 10,000 people besieging the official office in Tianjin, this is a rebellion, no matter what Wang Tong does, he is His Majesty's courtier, he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, if he is wronged and dissatisfied, he can sue at all levels, but he besieges the official office and coerces the officials, what is going on!?"

Hearing this, Liu Shouyou and Zhou Si'an understood a little, and Zhang Juzheng's voice was raised a little higher when he said this:

"If the people are dissatisfied and go to besiege the official office, then there is no law in this world, is there any rule, now Wang Tong is sent like this, what about Li Tong and Liu Tong, how do the officials of the court do things and errands! ! ! Check, track to the end!! ”

Liu Shouyou and Zhou Si'an bowed down together and said:

"The elder of the pavilion sees it clearly, and his subordinates (lower officials) will do it."

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he sent off the guests, and the two of them took the order and hurriedly went out, Zhang Juzheng naturally did not send it in person, and went out with him for a long time.

Leaving the house, Liu Shouyou was still confused, and Zhou Si'an on the side was also puzzled, the two of them were just general friends, and it was not easy to discuss and ask each other.

However, after looking at the upstream seven on the side, he saw that there was a look of sudden realization on the face of this long follower, Liu Shouyou often went in and out of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and the two were also familiar, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"You Qi, Tianjin Wei's case is very bad for that Wang Tong, isn't it good for Ge Lao's side, why is Ge Lao so ......?"

"Lord Liu, do you remember the incident in Lu'an Mansion in June this year?"

"It's the one who clears the acres of fields, and finds out that the inventory of acres and acres is fake......"

Liu Shouyou also suddenly realized, Zhou Si'an listened attentively on the side, he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, the servant of the Criminal Department back then, and he had heard of cases everywhere.

Shanxi found out that 40,000 acres of hidden fields, Shanxi provinces and prefectures are inseparable, so many fields have been cleared, I don't know how many Haoqiang have been damaged, and cutting off people's wealth is similar to killing people and cutting meat.

Thousands of people besieged the government, and the prefect and a few cronies crawled out of the dog hole and ran away, wanting to track it down afterwards, because the Shanxi region was intertwined and became inconclusive.

At that time, the reason for the siege was that the Qingzhang field was competing with the people for profit, and the officials were in it, and the Jingshi and several supervising imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate echoed it, saying that the world and all the people belonged to His Majesty, and the land was the same in both public and private affairs. Although these were all pressed down by Zhang Juzheng, he was also holding his breath.

This Tianjin Wei incident can be said to have aroused old grievances and touched Zhang Juzheng's bottom line.

Zhang Ju is a powerful minister, and no one is allowed to shake his position, but he is also a loyal minister who seeks benefits for the Ming Dynasty and wants to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and the people gather to besiege the yamen, which is tantamount to challenging the authority of the government, challenging the authority of the imperial court, and shaking the foundation of the rule, no wonder he has such a temper.

************

The news sent to Zhang Juzheng was much more coarse than the one Feng Bao was looking at first.

Xiang Yan was equivalent to a spy in the "bright place", and Feng Youning also arranged a lot of people there to be in the dark, and the urgent reports from these two parties were delivered to Feng Bao almost at a time.

Feng Youning, who was in charge of the East Factory Punishment Thousand Households, had been watching Feng Bao's expression from the side, Feng Bao was still a little cautious at the beginning, and then it was all sneering.

"Wang Tong sent silver to the palace, but there was no exploitation in the place, no nuisance to the people, no money, and no harshness, why make trouble, no one fanned the flames, what kind of people dared to enter the city to make trouble, why, along the way, all the yamen official offices, together with the officers and soldiers, stood by and watched, investigated, investigated to the end!!"
