"Nonsense, some people can't think clearly, they are smarter than the emperor's family?"

"Smart people tend to think a lot." Tang Yi sighed.

To tell the truth, Emperor Jiajing can definitely be called a very smart guy, he inherited the unification at the age of fifteen, and he is not two years older than Tang Yi, especially not a traverser, he was stunned by the great ceremony, relying on the support of Zhang Xuan and several other officialdom rookies, defeated the elders of the three dynasties, and decided to make a decision for the important minister Yang Tinghe, and killed the six Jiuqing to the flowers, can you do it if you are not smart?

At the beginning of his ascension, he cleared up the maladministration of the Zhengde Dynasty, and Unai clarified that there were signs of Zhongxing. is such an emperor who was pinned on by others, but he gradually became favored and traitorous, appointed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and later, he simply hid in Xiyuan, devoted himself to mysticism, and ignored the government.

If you compare Jiajing's various actions with Chongzhen, you will find that Jiajing is more like the king of the dead country, but although the Jiajing Dynasty is full of dangers, it can always find a solution, turn danger into relief, and the power is firmly in the hands of the emperor.

A smart person can pretend to be stupid, but a fool can never become a smart person.

Through the complicated appearances, Tang Yi is extremely sure that Jiajing is smart, and he is extremely smart! It's a pity that his cleverness was not used in governing the country, and it was not used in being angry and strong. Instead, they become selfish and self-serving.

It was because he was virtuous that he relied on the son of the vassal king to succeed him, and the throne was like a pie that fell from the world to him. It is precisely because it is easy to come that Jiajing does not have such a strong sense of mission, for him, it is good that the car does not fall backwards and pushes forward, and it can maintain the general approximation.

The rest of his precious time and energy are used to cultivate the Tao, cultivate his life like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, enjoy the supreme authority, and live happily.

But the dragon has reverse scales, and Jiajing regards himself as the master of Zhongxing everywhere, and the most important thing is face.

Altan Khan of Mongolia in the north entered the army from time to time, and even killed at the foot of the capital, but after all, the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty fought for hundreds of years, even if Chengzu could not eliminate the Mongols. But the Japanese are different, a small country and overseas barbarians, they actually went to Daming to burn and loot, and it was not the same thing to Jiajing him.

Emperor Daojun's self-esteem was strongly stimulated, his authority was provoked, and it was absolutely expected that someone had to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Emperor and send Jinyi Guard to investigate. Even came a little late.

"Yi'er, since Your Majesty wants to be angry, what else is there to say?"

"Here's the crux of the matter." Tang Yi said: "Your Majesty is not stupid, Jinyiwei is not a rice bucket, they must know that there are people in the southeast who collude with the Japanese Kou, but if the inner court is implicated, Your Majesty himself is implicated, then what should be done?" ”

"Weaving Bureau!" Tang Xiucai couldn't help but exclaim, he finally understood, behind Shen Liang was the Weaving Bureau, it was the inner court, no matter what his purpose, as long as he had a connection with the Japanese Kou, the eunuch was the emperor's house slave, and the basin would be deducted on Jiajing's head. His Majesty the Emperor, who has a face as big as the sky, is absolutely intolerable.

"Your Majesty wants to find out the truth, but also doesn't want to hurt the Holy Ming. Thinking about the best of both worlds, it's not easy to say, and it's not impossible, Yi'er, are you too pessimistic? Tang Xiucai asked hesitantly.

Tang Yi still shook his head, "If Your Majesty is the master alone, it may be possible, but too many immortals want to make a fuss about the affairs of the southeast, and under the constraints of each other, how can they be optimistic?" ”

Behind the Weaving Bureau is the East Factory is the celebrant supervisor, Zhou Shuo is Lu Bing's person, and the two major spy agencies are opposed: Wang Chen is recommended by Xu Jie, and most of the officialdom of Nanzhili is Yan Song's people, and Yan Dang and Xu Dang are also fighting openly and secretly. Represented by Shen Liang, the top wealthy merchant families wanted to use collusion with the Japanese to make a lot of money in the country, while the relatively middle and lower class merchant gentry longed for peace and tranquility. From the palace to the court, to the locality, up and down, there are all contradictions.

After listening to his son's explanation, Tang Xiucai's head swelled for a while, but he was still a little unconvinced, and argued: "Yi'er, what if Your Majesty really has the heart to investigate thoroughly? Elder Xu Ge and the loyal people of the imperial court united and took advantage of the affairs in the southeast to bring down the Yan Party, wouldn't the world be peaceful? ”

"No way, Your Majesty doesn't have this mind."

"How do you know?" Tang Xiucai asked with red eyes.

"Because he sent Wang Chen, he is intent on wronging the people of Nanzhili!"

Rumble!

Tang Xiucai was completely dumbfounded, that's right, Wang Chen is from Taicang, and it stands to reason that he can't supervise Su Song and other places, but Jiajing just sent him over. Isn't it just preparing for the results of the investigation, and once the people are not satisfied, they will use his identity to plug the people's mouths?

Let's see, it was investigated by your fellow Taicang villagers, and there is nothing else to believe. Obviously, Jiajing is ready to cover up the Weaving Bureau, after all, it is the most important money bag in the palace, and the majority of the money earned is still filial piety to His Majesty the Emperor. Cultivating and refining pills is quite silver-consuming, which is more important to the common people and the great cause of cultivation, Jiajing knows it in his heart, and Tang Yi also knows it.

"Your Majesty himself is in the midst of contradictions, and the so-called loyal people are no problem, the Xu family has wantonly annexed land in recent years, and has 10,000 acres of mulberry land in their hands, Xu Ji jumped out to make trouble a few days ago, can it be said that their family and Shen Liang did not collude? It's complicated, it's a mess, and I'm not sure what the outcome is. ”

After some analysis, Tang Xiucai finally had a clue, but at the same time, he was also confused. The prince of heaven and earth, His Majesty the Emperor is the father of all the people, the master of the country, the people are victimized, and he does not seek justice for the people, but also shields the wicked, and turns the world upside down, is there still heavenly justice?

The king is mediocre, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seem to be separated from each other, loyal and treacherous, but in fact, they encountered the word "profit", and colluded together, a nest of snakes and rats, in addition to disappointment, or disappointment!

Tang Xiucai has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, looking forward to being able to win the Toad Palace and benefit the common people. Although the imperial examination is not smooth, at least it is now on the patrol inspection, and it can do something for the people. But the king is like this, the minister is like this, what is the use of doing a sesame mung bean inspection?

Unconsciously, the tea in Tang Xiucai's hand was cold, and he sat stunned like a wood carved clay sculpture, as if his soul had been drained.

After a while, Tang Xiucai sighed and said bitterly: "Yi'er, what do you say such a court still protects it?" ”

Tang Yi is also constantly torturing his heart, the court is a big dung pit, a big quagmire! Why bother stepping in, relying on your own ability, managing some forces, making enough money, finding an overseas desert island, and being your own grass king, how comfortable it should be?

Hearing my father's question, I suddenly remembered the four sentences that people in the heart school are most familiar with: "There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and going to evil for good is a thing." Yang Minggong didn't know that the world was sinister, it wasn't that he didn't know that it was difficult to do things, but he still stood up resolutely, with one hand in the sky, Gao Tuo Red Sun, regardless of reputation, to protect the country and the country, and to be safe. After all, man is not a plant or a tree, but only wants his own well-being. One more good official with a conscience, one more point for the people, and the world will clarify one point. All evil parties and traitors are just paper tigers, with teeth and claws, and they have nothing to show for themselves! The hearts of the people are in me, and the people of the world are the biggest backers! ”

The moonlight passed through the bamboo tips and fell on Tang Yi's body, plating him with a layer of holy light, just like a legendary sage. His tone was gentle, his expression was firm, and he was convinced to listen to it, and his blood was boiling!

This is my son, my proudest son!

Tang Xiucai shouted wildly in his heart, his face flushed, as if he was drunk, and he was happy from the inside out. The two of them sang and laughed under the moon, talking about the court, inspiring words, and talking fiercely, Tang Shunzhi was ashamed when he heard it.

……

The next day, the two of them got up early again, without a trace of madness, just like yesterday.

It is easier said than done, no matter how lofty the ideal is, it must be realized step by step, and the overall situation in the southeast is not something they can control, and they do not want to interfere in how the case is investigated. After breakfast, Tang Xiucai called Lei Qi and ran to the canal construction site to select a strong one to act as an archer to defend the safety of the river.

Tang Yi went to find Zhou Qinyun, the situation in the southeast is getting more and more complicated, he must first be invincible, use the canal as bait, envelop a large group of gentry and businessmen, and form a force in order to resist Shen Liang and be at ease.

Drumming to buy sugar, doing their own business, the Tang family's father and son's calculations are very good, but obviously some people don't want them to have such an easy time. Two teams of cavalry were galloping towards the canal construction site, as if they were a race.

"Inspector Tang, we got a secret report that there are deserters hiding among the refugees, please allow us to arrest people!"
