Chapter 609: The Great Rite Discussion
The crowd suddenly moved, and someone tried in vain to rush into the yamen of Yingtianfu, Zhu Mao was naturally startled, and hurriedly ordered someone to close the door and hide in the yamen.
People are very impulsive and irrational, especially when crowds gather, which is a great hidden danger.
Zhu Mao didn't dare to take risks, and now he can only be a turtle with a shrunken head.
He is a little scared now, as an official, who is not afraid of this kind of thing, but you don't dare to face the people who are out of control outside, can you sit back and wait for death now?
Of course not, Zhu Mao hurriedly invited the subordinate officials in the yali to come, and the subordinate officials gathered together and looked at Zhu Mao one after another.
Zhu Mao didn't say anything official today, and said bluntly: "Everyone, ...... right now"
"Your Excellency." Tongzhi Zhou Sheng, who was sitting at the bottom of the seat, interrupted him unceremoniously: "The people outside are only asking for tax reductions and exemptions, but they just hope that the government will not increase the grain tax and follow the example of Zhejiang." ”
As the head of a government, when he usually speaks, where does he have the share of this acquaintance to speak, but today Zhou Sheng is not polite at all, which makes Zhu Mao feel that his authority is greatly damaged, and the grain tax is reduced or exempted, and no official food is added, how can this be, now the top is urging the governments to pay the grain, and the household department has taken out the quota.
As for the reduction and exemption of grain taxes, this involves the scope of the New Deal, and Zhu Mao is particularly sensitive to the New Deal, so he naturally refuses to agree.
"Hmph, this matter, don't think about it. This is a matter that brings disaster to the country and the people, and what a new deal is simply nonsense. ”
Zhou Sheng smiled faintly and said: "But the lower officials heard that Suzhou, Changzhou and other prefectures have dared to be the first to be the first to be directly subordinate to the south, and have announced a proclamation, and the two governments have begun to implement new policies since then, don't you know?" ”
Such an exchange of official documents should have been informed to Zhu Mao as soon as possible, but Zhu Mao didn't know it, he couldn't help but glared viciously at the Chengfa Fang Jingcheng who was in charge of document transmission in the mansion, Jingcheng was just an inconspicuous eight-grade official in Yingtianfu, in charge of the affairs of the Chengfa Room, this benevolent brother usually obeyed Zhu Mao's words, but now he said that he was sitting still at all, and he just laughed at the evil eyes of Zhu Zhifu.
Zhu Mao sneered: "The new deal is absolutely undesirable, not to mention that there are many people in the court who are disgusted with the new deal, this time the court levies official grain, if anyone runs the new deal and reduces the grain tax, then it is bound to be unable to pay the grain, and when the time comes, they will all have to be unsafe, this Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou and other prefectures, this is their own death." ”
Who knew that Zhou Sheng smiled again and said, "My lord, it is reported that their official food problem has been solved, and it was the Money and Grain Bureau that solved it for them." ”
When Zhu Mao heard this, he was stunned, and immediately understood, the reputation of the Money and Grain Bureau, he knew, this Money and Grain Bureau is synonymous with wealth, if it is really the Money and Grain Bureau came forward and took out a sum of silver, although the food on the market is now tight, but Shuangyu Port, there is still a steady stream of half a ship and half a ship of grain, time permits, and then buy some on the market, to cope with the deficit of tens of thousands of quintals, is not it like playing?
Zhu Mao suddenly felt that he seemed to be doomed, if Suzhou and other governments handed over the deficit of official grain, but Yingtianfu, which was the largest in Nanzhili, could not pay the deficit, and even caused an accident of civil uprising, can he keep his black hat?
Looking at the expressions of this fellow acquaintance Zhou Sheng and others, these people's expressions towards themselves are only indifferent.
In the officialdom, some people say that tea is cool, and some people say that they are cold if they don't go to tea, the so-called people don't go to tea and they are cold, which is Zhu Mao's current situation, because everyone in the house has a hunch that this adult is going to be finished, since it is going to be finished, who will still take care of you, and get close to you, once the court is guilty, maybe I will have to carry the black pot with you. 、
Zhu Mao was shocked for a while, and he suddenly realized that the only one who could solve the current death situation was Xu Qian.
If Xu Qian is willing to come forward, with his prestige in Nanjing, with just one sentence, the students and people who gather outside to make trouble will retreat, and if he implements the new policy, then the Money and Food Bureau only needs to take out a sum of silver, and his black yarn hat will be saved.
However, do you bow to Xu Qian? Zhu Mao was naturally unwilling, but there was no way to be reluctant, although he was very disgusted with Xu Qian and the New Deal, but when it came to his own future, it seemed that it would not be possible to be unconvinced.
Thinking of this, Zhu Mao couldn't help but say: "Immediately think of something, send someone out, and let him take the old man's greeting post and go to meet Xu Futai." ”
In fact, Zhu Mao's behavior was expected by everyone, Zhu Mao opposed Xu Qian, of course, this has his position, on the other hand, it is also because of interests, because he keenly feels that it is easier to get the favor of some big people in the court who is contrary to the surname Xu, so naturally, he made his own choice, and now he has made this choice, which is obviously in line with his current interests.
It's just that Zhou Tongzhi almost laughed, and then said: "Early in the morning today, Xu Futai has left." ”
"Let's go......" Zhu Mao was stunned.
His heart sank to the bottom.
In fact, Xu Qian has indeed left, and in Zhejiang, he still has a big trouble to solve.
As for whether Nanzhili's new policy can be implemented, it must be discussed after this big trouble is resolved.
He boarded the boat and passed through the prefectures and counties along the waterway, looking at the great rivers and mountains on both sides, and in this most fertile and fertile land of the Ming Dynasty, his mood was unexpectedly difficult to calm down.
Once upon a time, he was just the son of a lowly official, at that time, he was so humble and inconspicuous, he was struggling in Vanity Fair, constantly rolling, Xu Qian at that time, a mind, wanted to get ahead.
But now, now Xu Qian has become a feudal official, every move is concerned by everyone, he has gained a firm foothold, and began to cultivate his own power, from Beijing to Zhejiang, there are countless people following behind him, this team has become stronger and stronger, and because of this, Xu Qian suddenly felt that he was no longer a person, although he shouldered, although it was not exaggerated to the hope of a nation, but at least, his words and deeds were related to the net worth of many people.
The game will not end, it is only the beginning, once he enters this game, then, Xu Qian must be more cruel and unscrupulous than others.
Sitting in the cabin, he read a few reports from Zhejiang, and knew a little more about the recent situation in Zhejiang.
He snorted coldly in his heart, the fish is dead and the net is broken, do you deserve to die with me?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
A letter of recital, passed to the Beijing Division, mutual attack of the recital book is all over the sky, without exception, but all from the south of the Yangtze River, here scolding the other party for being bold, there is also scolding the other party for being bold, a simple etiquette problem, as if all of a sudden, has become the key to the entire Ming Dynasty, it seems that everything else is not very important.
This is the truth of the struggle, there are many reasons for the struggle, and the fundamental problem lies in the struggle between rights and interests, but rights and interests obviously cannot be put on the table, so the dispute over etiquette or learning has become a fig leaf.
The root of the struggle lies in etiquette, but the reason for the struggle must be extremely noble, so countless people have raised the banner of morality, and countless people have played the banner of saints, and no one will give up without putting the other party to death.
The mutual attack in Jiangnan also immediately infected the entire Jingshi, and here in the Jingshi, a new dispute over etiquette also kicked off.
The first to jump out is Yang Shen, Yang Shen is still a bachelor, he is the second generation of officials, he is really a little aggrieved, as the son-in-law of the first assistant, and he is from the champion duke, I originally thought that he was good enough, and for him, promotion is like drinking water, but who knows, I met Xu Qian, the demon, who is a descendant, less qualified than him, and there is no good father, but it is a rapid rise, and it is all of a sudden, it is already expensive to be the left deputy capital of the imperial history, people are more popular than people, especially Yang Shen, who is full of arrogance.
Yang Shen is very aggressive, he has to fight for three points when he has nothing to do, and in the academic struggle, he was once the pioneer of the old learning, and he was very prosperous for a while.
Now that the dispute over etiquette has arisen again, he is naturally unwilling to be lonely, and he did not hesitate to go to the first recital, talking about Wang Shouren's gossip to confuse the public, how can he de, can be compared with Zhu Xi, Xu Qian and a cadre of Wang Xue officials, even compared Wang Shouren to Zhu Xi in the temple, this is obviously an organized, premeditated subversive activity, in fact, it is to disturb people's hearts, bad people's hearts, and maybe, there is even a deeper conspiracy, please the court immediately issue an order, clean up the source, deal with the offender officials, in order to set an example.
Yang Shen started, and everyone didn't know if Yang Shen's meaning was Yang Tinghe's meaning, but since he was acting as a pioneer, the meaning was already obvious, so many people followed up.
On the other hand, Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Liang Teng, the secretary of the household department, naturally also wrote a book, bluntly saying that the main temple of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites did not worship Zhu Xi and asked the court to deal with it.
Up and down the government and the opposition, chickens and dogs jumped, attacking and accusing each other, as if the matter of this holy temple had become a big thing, it was already related to the stability of the society, and it was related to the well-being of the people.
