12-20 Internal and external difficulties

Since the day of the accident of Zhen Guogong, all the trading varieties of the Shanghai Stock Exchange have all fallen to the limit, and it is extremely terrifying, and the immeasurable limit shows that although some people have thrown out a large number of them, they have not taken over at all, and the war fund has fallen to the bottom, and no one wants to pay for ten units, and the securities market of Daming has completely collapsed.

After Huang Xiaotian, the head of the household department, was demoted, the household department was controlled by Wei Zhongxian's party, and the officials in the court were divided into several types, one is the greedy and talented Huang Xiaotian, this type, and there is the honest and talentless Metropolitan Procuratorate, most of the imperial history is like this, and honest and talented, that is a rare animal, for the time being, there is a kind of destructive power, the strongest is both corrupt and incapable officials, Wei Zhongxian and his party are just like this, in the face of the surging financial turmoil, they have no way to deal with it, under the pressure of the emperor, they actually came up with an extremely indiscriminate method, that is, to seize Rishengchang, nationalize it, and save the securities market with strong gold and silver reserves with ticket numbers。

Rishengchang and the alliance of the Zhenguo Mansion even the emperor knows, but those are business dealings, and there is no political entanglement, Hu Yimin himself and Liu Ziguang's contacts are not very close, most of them are just cooperating with Peng Jingrong, plus Rishengchang occupies an important position in the Ming economy, even Zhu Youxiao does not dare to easily move this huge financial institution.

But Wei Zhongxian dared, he had already looked at Ri Shengchang's huge wealth, his eyes were red, the eunuch was a physically disabled person, and he could not inherit the family and enjoy the happiness of a normal man, so he could only work wealth and use countless gold and silver treasures to comfort his distorted heart.

In order to save the stock market, but also for his own wealth, Wei Zhongxian accepted the proposal of his subordinates, seized the capital Rishengchang on the charge of banditry, and then sent Ti to Luzhou to arrest Hu Yimin, who knew that the silver treasury of the capital Rishengchang had been robbed, empty, and there was not even a bird feather left, and the luxury mansion of the Hu family in Luzhou was empty, and hundreds of people in the Hu family were nowhere to be found.

Rishengchang was seized by the Qin Misi, and it set off a bigger storm, this time it really infringed on the interests of every common people, Rishengchang is actually equivalent to the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, and the central bank has closed the silver ticket in his hand, and it has not become waste paper? Risheng Changxing's silver bills are not only hundreds of millions, but seriously calculated more than the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty in ten years, Hu Yimin ran away, and these debts naturally fell on the head of Qin Misi, who seized Rishengchang.

Originally, Qin Misi's reason was that Rishengchang was fornicating with traitors, so he wanted to be seized, but the common people didn't care about that, they thought that the imperial court took over Rishengchang and confiscated a large amount of deposited silver, so they would be responsible for these bills, but Wei Zhongxian didn't even get a penny of silver, he really didn't steal the chicken, and he made a commotion.

How unlucky the little people are, the adults don't care, but the people who hold the Rishengchang silver ticket in their hands are not only the ordinary people, the dignitaries, the princes and nobles, and even Wei Zhongxian himself have more silver tickets in their hands, in fact, the common people have no money left at home, even if they save a few tickets, they are all fifty taels of small denominations, and the rich people are thousands of silver tickets in their hands, the biggest loss is that they touch the interests of these people, but it will really hurt the foundation of the imperial court, so Zhu Youxiao ordered Wei Zhongxian to maintain the financial order, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to take the mess of Rishengchang, and fill it with the silver of the user department, which barely stopped a major chaos。

After the news of the execution of Liu Ziguang spread throughout the country, the reactions in various places were mixed, Shanxi commanded Zhao Chengcheng to immediately put under house arrest, the governor sent by the imperial court immediately put under house arrest, recruited troops and horses locally, and the whole army swore with filial piety to ask for an explanation for the marshal, and Zhu Tao, the governor of Gansu, jointly wrote a letter to the following civil and military officials to demand the punishment of the traitorous ministers, and Zhaoxue broke out a huge sacrificial activity in Shandong, where Liu Ziguang had the deepest connections, but the Shandong authorities with the governor Shi Kefa as the governor did not make any movement, Shaanxi and Hebei, the two major provinces where the Red Shirts were stationed, because of Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Zengshou in the town, there was no big trouble for the time being, but according to the secret report, the mood of the local Red Shirts was extremely unstable, and there was a possibility of a rebellion at any time。

Although the provinces of Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan had reservations about the imperial court's practices, they did not dare to openly question Fujian's attitude toward Taiwan, and the Fujian generals with Zheng Chenggong as the leader sent a telegram to the imperial court demanding that the conclusive evidence of Liu Ziguang's rebellion be made public, otherwise they would retain the right to seek explanations by force. Only Ma Shiying, the governor of Shanghai, who was originally considered to be monolithic with Liu Ziguang, publicly telegraphed the whole country to support the emperor's wise decision to eradicate Liu Ziguang.

The emperor convened the imperial court meeting in front of the emperor to deal with this situation, and the open rebellion of Gansu and Shanxi provinces was not terrible, because if they wanted to enter the capital, they had to pass through Shaanxi, and Shaanxi was guarded by Yuan Chonghuan, and it was not enough to worry about it, but those provinces with vague attitudes needed to be beaten, so the emperor sent several Qin messengers to pacify the place.

The political situation in the Ming Dynasty was turbulent, and the surrounding countries got the news at the first time, and heard that Liu Ziguang was dead, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were excited to feast for a few days, and Da Yuer was even more surprised, and convened Hong Chengchou, Mingzhu and other important ministers overnight to discuss countermeasures, they agreed that the opportunity of the Qing Dynasty came, and the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing was just a flash in the pan, and from now on it will begin to go downhill, and it will go down according to this degree, and when Kangxi is established, the Qing Dynasty will be able to regain its majesty and drink the Yellow River again.

In the past, the king of Goryeo, Li Liang, was worried all day because of the affairs of the rebels in the north, and he couldn't eat and sleep, but now he heard that the traitor Jin Caocheng's big backer Liu Ziguang died, not only slept soundly at night, but also had an appetite for food.

And Jin Caocheng in the mountains and mountains in the north stretched the bitter gourd face, Liu Ziguang died, the support of the Goryeo battalion was cut off, there was no baggage, the arms were nothing, the key was that without the support of the Celestial Empire, they would become wild dogs who lost their homes, just waiting to starve to death, and his subordinates suggested that Jin Caocheng should be the first to show loyalty to the Ming Emperor, but Jin Caocheng thought about it again and again and still refused.

The latest to get the news was the Western Xia king Galdan and his spies saw the notice posted by the Red Shirts in Hami that they were going to enter the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing, and he realized that the biggest obstacle to his domination of the world was dead, and the ministers congratulated him, but Geldan only smiled faintly and said: "Victory is not achieved by other people's internal strife, not by great heroes." He immediately announced that the whole country of Daxia would mourn for three days, and then marched eastward, nominally to avenge Liu Ziguang, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and to help the neighboring countries eradicate the traitors.

After the Song State received the news, the whole country was shocked, and the Privy Council issued an ultimatum to the Ming Dynasty, demanding that the person who killed Liu Ziguang be held accountable and rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the deceased, otherwise the diplomatic relations between the two countries and all non-governmental trade exchanges would be severed, and all previous political and military treaties would be nullified, and the power to further investigate the Ming court for the unjust death of Liu Ziguang, the protector of the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao was furious, Liu Ziguang was just a courtier, whether he killed him or not, it was purely the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and other countries followed and mixed with something, especially in the Song Dynasty, the small country was sparsely populated, and he actually dared to blackmail the Ming Dynasty.

The open space in front of the Zhenguo Mansion was mixed with blood in the muddy water, a young man with clear eyebrows bent down and picked up a snow-white paper flower from the muddy water, it was very strange, this small flower actually remained white and flawless in the sewage, the young man looked at the closed door and the Zhenguo Mansion with seals and sighed and turned to leave.

The boy is the grandson of Cao Yin, who was rich in Gusu and weaving in the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Zhan's family was raided by Liu Ziguang, and then fell sharply, Cao Zhan became a poor scholar who ate the last meal and did not eat the next meal, because he was the son of a criminal official, could not participate in the scientific examination, so he had to make a living by selling words and paintings, he wrote a book in order to commemorate that unforgettable memory, but half of the writing always felt that the depth was not enough, and could not find inspiration, and today I specially wandered around the city, hoping to find some inspiration, and happened to walk to the door of the Zhenguo Mansion that has been sealed, I couldn't help but sigh and sigh, compared to the glory and disgrace of their Cao family, Liu Ziguang's life is not more legendary, and more unpredictable in the world。

Cao Zhan ran all the way home and wrote a tune:

The burrow was empty, and the wat was full of beds; The withered grass and dead poplar used to be a singing and dancing field. The spider silk is full of carved beams, and the green yarn is now pasted on the canopy window. What do you say about how the fat is thick and the powder is fragrant and the temples become frost again? Yesterday, the loess Longtou sent white bones to make the red silk tent lie at the bottom of the mandarin duck——

Chests full of gold and silver, beggars are slandered in a blink of an eye; is sighing that his life is not long, how do you know that he will return and mourn?!

There is a way to ensure that you will be a strong beam in the future. Choose the anointing who hopes to live in Fireworks Alley!

The shackle is caused by the small yarn cap; Yesterday I was pitiful and cold, and now I think the purple python is long......

Coax you to sing it, I will appear on the stage, and I will recognize the other country as my hometown...... It's ridiculous, and in the end it's a wedding garment for someone else!

After writing this song, Cao Zhan's literary thoughts were like a collapse of urine, and the pen was like a god, and in a moment he wrote out the outline of the second half, and officially changed the name of the original "Stone Story" to "Dream of Red Mansions".

Just when Cao Zhan picked up the little white flower from the ground at the entrance of the Zhenguo Mansion, a northbound convoy was passing by a street away, this was the team of Sun Qi, the minister of the Qin Mission, who went to Shandong to comfort the place, and the imperial court tried to offset Liu Ziguang's influence with the prestige of the old Sun family, so he appointed the young Sun Qi to this position, and an inconspicuous servant in the team raised his eyes and looked at the building of the Zhenguo Mansion not far away, and sighed secretly in his heart: Goodbye, my home.
