Unexpectedly, Qian Jun still miscalculated Shen Mingyun's endurance, and the impeachment war launched in the imperial court was led by Dong Jincai, he saw that his power was far higher than that of his opponent, and he thought that Shen Mingyun's reform was contrary to the thoughts of all officials, and no one would support it, so he suddenly made a difficulty.

Zhang Yangang, the governor of Jiangnan, was recommended by Shen Mingyun, it was his same year, Zhang Yangang's temper and Shen Mingyun had a fight, they were very upright, and had the courage to dare to act, although he knew that changing the poll tax to the local tax was the enemy of many bureaucrats and soldiers, but he thought that he was loyal to the monarch and the country, so he rushed forward without hesitation.

Impeachment, the first person to attack, is Zhang Yangang, only if he falls, Shen Mingyun's governance program can fall, and Dong Jin can completely defeat the opponent and become the first minister of the Jurong Dynasty under one person, above ten thousand people.

Emperor Yongchang received the impeachment recital, did not send a word, and pressed it down, Dong Jin thought it was Shen Mingyun who was making a ghost, and the next day, it was implied that more disciples rose up to impeach, and on the third day, Emperor Yongchang had more than forty folds in his hands, and he was so angry that he called Qian Jun into the palace.

Qian Jun is still keeping filial piety, occasionally going to the court, and it is also ordered by the emperor, originally Emperor Yongchang issued an order to win love, but he refused, but the emperor asked him to help occasionally, this can no longer be said no, in fact, in order to help the second uncle, he has not stopped paying attention to the affairs of the court, and has been busy arranging the arrangement, in case the second uncle has just arrived, and he is not suitable for the work of Beijing officials, and was knocked down by Dong Jincai.

Qian Jun hurriedly entered the palace and gave the emperor a big gift.

"Get up, get up, how many times have you said it, don't look at me like those sour Confucians, put on a formality and go through the motions."

"The emperor's grace, Weichen is toothless and unforgettable, but the ancestral rules, Weichen has to abide by them."

Qian Jun's words made Emperor Yongchang very useful, he waved his hand and asked him to sit on the brocade stool beside him: "I called you here to let you see, look at these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I give them status, give them officials, let them get rich, so that they have dignity and prestige, they are good, and those who repay me are unwilling to pay taxes and contribute to the country, and they even jointly impeached the New Deal and attacked Lord Shen, I don't know what to do!" ”

Qian Jun picked up the fold and hurriedly browsed a few copies, and couldn't help but be angry: "Your Majesty, it's just too deceitful!" I finally understand why Lord Shen is heartbroken, and even said, 'In the long run, the country will not be a country', Your Majesty, only if you make up your mind and not be moved by the clamor of these shallow people, can you achieve Yongchang Zhongxing and greatly enhance the national strength. ”

"Well, I think so, but officials are the foundation of the country, and if they resist the new policy together, the new policy will not only fail to be implemented, but will suffer from it."

Emperor Yongchang said very reasonably, throughout the successive dynasties, the last monarch was dumb and incompetent, but there were also monarchs who wanted to be excited and wanted to rejuvenate the country, but unfortunately the power of the individual has not been able to change the torrent of history, or the government has not been properly handled, but it has made the national fortunes more decadent, so that in the end it can not be cleaned up, and it has to end miserably.

Seeing Emperor Yongchang's worries, and even a little timid, Qian Jun was alarmed in his heart, Shen Mingyun's new policy cannot be given up halfway, this is not only related to personal fate, but also related to the future direction of the Jurong Dynasty, whether it is a slump or a new spring.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although there are these moths in the court, who do bad things under the banner of saints for their own selfishness, but there are more loyal ministers and ministers, and they will definitely support the emperor and govern the country more clearly and prosperously."

Emperor Yongchang was still frowning, there was no way to deal with the current situation, and no matter how loyal he said good things, he would not solve the actual problem.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that most of these people who have broken down are rich and unkind to the rich, and they only need to find a few notorious and fierce people who shout in the court, scout around, grab the handle and put his official hat, in order to deter the ministers and make those who blindly follow the trend sober and sober."

Emperor Yongchang felt that what Qian Jun said could be implemented, and his mood was much better, so he pushed the stack of folds on the desk more than a foot high in front of Qian Jun: "Look at it, I think some of them are sincere for the country, but they are wrong for a while, but some people must have ulterior motives." ”

"Yes." Qian Jun agreed, and quickly flipped through these folds, and about an hour, he picked out three copies, "Your Majesty, among these people, there are really people who are all the same, and a few of them are really dedicated to the country, but they just want to deviate, Weichen singled out three people, they are indeed selfish." ”

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Zhang Yan just sent a secret fold, what you showed to Weichen, that is, these three people, his parents and brothers relied on his high official position to openly let the landlords in the neighborhoods attach the land to their own names to evade the imperial court taxes. Oh, this Jiang Guomin, his family has 2,000 hectares of land, 50 acres of land, how many are 2,000 hectares? Thirty acres of land can live for a family, the Jiang family, the total population is less than 500 people, but more than 3,000 families have been displaced, and the imperial court's annual tax revenue has lost thousands of taels of silver. ”

Emperor Yongchang's eyebrows were raised: "What about Lord Zhang's secret fold?" ”

The eunuch who was waiting hurriedly ran over, helped the emperor find the secret fold, knelt a few steps, and handed it over.

Emperor Yongchang took the fold and put it in front of Qian Jun, Qian Jun pointed to a few of them: "Your Majesty, you see, Jiang Guomin, Liu Lin, Wang Chang, their families all have more than 10,000 acres of land, they naturally oppose the new policy, they are doing this for their own selfishness, the emperor, such a courtier, what qualifications do you have to impeach others?" Could it be that by pretending to be a compassionate face, they can really become loyal ministers? ”

Emperor Yongchang thought about it, and when he saw that Qian Jun pointed out the problem pointedly, and there was still a good reason to refute the other party, he knew that he must be prepared.

"Tomorrow, I will specially order you to go to the court, and you will tell these things in the court to stop this demonic wind attacking the new policy."

"Wechen must do his best, but he still has to prepare for a few days." Qian Jun is going to kill the chicken to show the monkey, those three people, he must hit them seven inches.

Emperor Yongchang nodded, feeling that his cousin was sincere for the country, thinking of the past, he couldn't help but feel guilty, he saw Qian Jun tired, so he thoughtfully waved his hand: "You kneel down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Jun withdrew, Emperor Yongchang was in a much better mood, and continued to deal with the twists and turns, but he didn't expect to see a copy of the impeachment of Jiang Guomin, which was still a small deputy four-grade daotai. The whole article lists the evidence of Jiang Guomin's family bullying, amassing wealth, forcibly buying land, etc., so that the tired Emperor Yongchang is in high spirits, and he doesn't want to read the rest of the recitals, so he motioned to the eunuch who was waiting, and put a few copies of Qian Jun's pick-up and this one: "Tomorrow I will read it in the court, I want to see what face Jiang Guomin uses to impeach others." ”
