Whenever a feudal official enters Beijing to see him, the city gate must be under martial law, and no business travel is allowed. Around the time of Shen, Shuntianfu sent 500 soldiers, and some sharp-eyed people also saw the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives, not only the city gates, but also soldiers patrolling along the way.

Such fanfare is unprecedented, don't catch any rebellious courtiers!

Everyone couldn't help but be apprehensive and talked a lot, wanting to see the faces of the visitors.

But everyone was disappointed, Jin Yiwei personally escorted, two four-wheeled carriages, covered tightly, no one could see the situation inside, directly sent to the Wu Dynasty Gate, and the eunuch with the celebrant led into the palace.

The monks of the second zhang of the people were puzzled, and they only regarded it as a strange anecdote.

The civil officials in the city had a sharp nose, they had known the situation a few days before, and they were gearing up for a big battle.

The mansion of Yan Sheng Gong was surrounded by thousands of people, and even robbed the grain fields www.uuxs.cc the fastest, the fastest, the , and the family.

The world is wonderful, Sven sweeps the floor!

The descendants of the dignified saints, after thousands of years, how could they have ever suffered such a thing, it is simply unbearable. If he is not severely punished, where is Sven, who still has the face to call himself a disciple of Confucius and Mencius.

In the past few days, the civil officials, especially the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six sections, have been in tandem, and they are ready to severely punish the civil and military forces in Shandong, and if they don't kill a few heads, they will be sorry for Master Confucius.

Everyone was waiting and watching, and some scholars even gathered and prepared to wait for Xu Zhi to enter Beijing, so they beat him to death at the gate of the city to vent their anger for Sage Kong. It's just a pity that Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu are too tightly protected, and they don't have a chance to do it at all.

Now that Xu Zhi has been sent directly to the Qianqing Palace, everyone is waiting to see what punishment the emperor can give.

If the punishment is light, you will have to fight for it in the Jinluan Palace! Let the people of the world see what is called the world and the hearts of the people. What is called Geng Geng Danxin!

……

The civil officials sharpened their knives and prepared to slaughter pigs and sheep, but in the Apocalypse Palace, it was a completely different scene.

Xu Zhi honestly knelt beside the temple gate, and threw himself to the ground. Inside, a case was set up, and more than 20 little eunuchs were fiddling with abacus, sweat was flowing on their foreheads, and they didn't care to wipe it.

In front of the case, there was a big eunuch wearing a python robe, who was the master of ceremonies Zhang Ye!

He stood silently. Every little eunuch present felt a strong pressure, their heartstrings tightened, and they didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.

In the middle of the day, a middle-aged eunuch held a list and sent it to Zhang Ye's hand, and said softly: "Godfather, this is the forty-fifth year of Wanli." ”

"Well, keep counting!"

Zhang Ye turned around and hurriedly went to the dragon book case of the apocalypse and sent the list.

"Master, look!"

Apocalypse became emperor for four years. He has long been not a young man, he has learned experience from his grandfather Wanli, and in the face of a huge empire, he will not go to court. It doesn't really matter. Dozens or hundreds of people are noisy together, what can they do!

The two most critical points are people and money. As long as you grasp it, the world will not be chaotic.

Apocalypse was no stranger to the list of account books, and he glanced twice. Immediately, his brows furrowed.

In just the forty-fifth year of Wanli, the Confucian family annexed 50,000 acres of land in Shandong!

This means that there are 50,000 acres less grain land to pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and the apocalypse snorted and slapped the table.

"Okay, the money in the treasury has fallen into the pockets of the Kong family, which is worthy of being the first in the world, and it is even more majestic than our Zhu family!" Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "Count, hurry up and calculate for me how much the Kong family has swallowed over the years!" ”

"Yes, the old slave is going!"

Zhang Ye hurriedly walked outside, the little eunuchs crackled and calculated, time passed minute by minute, and the sky had darkened. There are palace maids and eunuchs with lights in their hands, and the palace is as bright as day, and the slightest hint is visible.

"The forty-seventh year of Wanli is good......"

“…… Forty-eight years of good ......"

“…… The first year of the apocalypse is good......"

……

With the continuous singing and harmony, the accounts of the last ten years are placed in front of the apocalypse!

The little emperor glanced at it, and suddenly his beard was all over the place, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was going to eat people!

"Bastard, this is digging the corner of my Daming! Someone, call Xu Zhi over to me. ”

Zhang Ye hurriedly waved his hand, and a little eunuch came to Xu Zhi.

"Lord Xu, the Holy One called you!"

"yes!" Xu Zhi woke up like a dream, he knelt so numb that his limbs were numb, these few hours were definitely the saddest and most torturous times in his life.

A small life is chosen in a trace, as long as the emperor is angry, a word will not only lose his head, but may even wipe out the nine clans! Not only the emperor, but also those civil officials outside the palace will not let him go.

Now, you can only follow Zhang Ke's instructions, no matter life or death, run all the way to the dark!

"Father-in-law, help the lower officials, I can't get up!"

The little eunuch hurriedly stretched out his hand, helped Xu Zhi, swayed, and arrived in front of the dragon book case.

"Xu Zhi, the governor of Shandong, knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Apocalypse glanced at it, Xu Zhi was in his early forties, with a white complexion, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a first-class appearance, secretly admiring in his heart.

"Xu Qing, how did you get these accounts?"

Xu Zhi hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Don't dare to hide it from the emperor, part of it is the change of acres of land counted by the yamen, and most of it, yes, it was stolen from the Kong family by the criminal ministers who took advantage of the chaos!" ”

Tianqi looked at Xu Zhi, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and tears came out.

"Okay, it's ridiculous that my feudal official wants to steal it!" Tianqi looked at Xu Zhi and asked sharply: "He, the Kong family, is he so bold that even the governor is afraid?" ”

When Xu Zhi heard this, he was shocked. He knew whether he could pass this hurdle or not, and it depended on whether Zhang Ke's method of telling sù would work.

"Pingliaogong, you have to bless the lower officials!"

Xu Zhi prayed in his heart, and slowly took off the black gauze hat on his head with both hands and put it aside. His movements were extremely slow, as if on a pilgrimage, without any sloppiness.

"The sinner has the sincerity of the heart, and he must drain his blood to play!"

"Speak!"

"Yes! Playing the saint, the minister was lucky to get the wrong love of the saint, and he should have done his best to be loyal, report to the emperor, and go down to Lishu. Since he took office, there have been continuous disasters and famines in Shandong, and the people of Li have been hanging upside down, and there was a tragic scene of cannibalism between father and son last year. The ministers worked hard and did nothing. The reason for the promotion is that the criminal minister is incompetent, but the minister dares to say that even if he changes anyone, he may not be able to do a good job. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhi straightened his waist and said sharply: "Whenever there is a disaster, the gentry and big families regard it as a good opportunity to make a fortune, hoard food, and raise prices. Through usury, he forced the people to go bankrupt and sell themselves to the brim. There are even large households that swallow up fertile land, turn the people into serfs, swallow the imperial court's disaster relief funds, and plunder the people's life-saving rations. Last year alone, there were more than ten mutinies in Shandong, but fortunately, the general soldier Qiao Fu suppressed it properly and did not cause a disaster. But if this continues, sooner or later there will be no food and salary for raising soldiers, and at that time, I am afraid that there will be fires everywhere and wolf smoke everywhere! The country of my Ming Dynasty and the society of my ancestors and ancestors were immediately in chaos! ”

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

The apocalypse on the dragon chair was dumbfounded, and countless homeless people appeared in a trance in front of him, stretching out their hands to beg for food, extremely miserable. His face flushed, and he asked bitterly, "Xu Aiqing, has it really come to this point?" (To be continued......) R1292
