Chapter 642: Shock

Hearing the words Nuan Ge, Yang Tinghe immediately understood that this was not the same as His Majesty itself! It doesn't matter, because if there is really something wrong with His Majesty, he will definitely not be summoned in the Warm Pavilion, and the place of the summoning must be the Great Gao Xuan Hall or the harem.

It's just that apart from what happened to His Majesty, can there be something so much that he has to summon himself overnight?

The more Yang Tinghe thought about it, the more he didn't understand, he filtered some recent political affairs in his mind, and suddenly remembered the border town, thinking to himself, could it be that something big happened in the border town, yes, from last year to the beginning of this year, the Ming army has been out of the customs several times, and has been fighting with the Tatars for half a year, so it can't be bad news.

Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe's expression was solemn, and he hurried his steps, and when he arrived at the Warm Pavilion, the Warm Pavilion was already brightly lit at this time, and the Luan Driver who wanted to come to His Majesty had not yet arrived, so the outside of the Warm Pavilion looked a little deserted, and when he walked in, Yang Tinghe saw Yang Yiqing with a gloomy face.

"Yang Gong, something is wrong!" Yang Yiqing stood up and said in a deep voice.

Yang Tinghe complained bitterly in his heart, if it wasn't for something wrong, how could he enter the palace tonight, after all, he was a person who had seen strong winds and waves, so his face did not change, but said, "What happened?" |

Yang Yiqing said: "There is a song from Zhizhejiang, saying...... It is said that the prefectures and counties were in chaos in an instant, the people resisted taxes, gathered a large number of millions, surrounded the governor's yamen, surrounded the ministries of Nanjing, and surrounded the prefectures and counties......"

If this afternoon's recital is just a civil unrest, it may not be worth mentioning for Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing.

Because the definition of civil unrest is hundreds of thousands, it is definitely not a trivial matter to reach the scale of tens of thousands, but when it reaches 100,000, it is enough to become the event that the imperial court pays the most attention to, but it reaches the scale of one million...... This......

This is tantamount to saying that in the entire Zhejiang, almost more than 20% of the people have taken to the streets, such a big situation, can be described as unprecedented and million...... Millions...... What is the concept of million, and the concept of million is that once it is broken, it is enough for the society to collapse and the country to be lost.

Even if you can suppress it, the impact of this incident is enough to make people scared and make people break out in a cold sweat.

It's no wonder, no wonder the Son of Heaven invited himself into the palace overnight, no wonder Yang Yi couldn't be calm.

Yang Tinghe said: "Why did this happen, why was there no warning beforehand? ”

Yang Yiqing sneered: "This must be someone instigating and instigating behind the scenes・・・・・・ I think ・・・・・・"

Yang Tinghe glanced at Yang Yiqing as calmly as possible, and said: "So far, it is very inappropriate to prevaricate and instigate for someone with a heart." It's such a big fuss, it's not something that can be revealed with such a sentence! ”

Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly, what Yang Tinghe said was not wrong, this kind of thing is by no means a sentence of instigation in the past, you can say that the thieves instigated hundreds of people, or you can say that the traitorous party bewitched tens of thousands of ignorant people, but you have to say that someone fooled millions of people into resisting taxes, this reason is really pale.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It seems that you and I have made a mistake." ”

In fact, from the very beginning, Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing far underestimated the impact of the New Deal, and in their view, the so-called New Deal was just a group of businessmen. As for those New Deal officials who are involved with businessmen, as long as the court has a hot hand, it will naturally be able to destroy the withering and decaying, and a heavy tax can knock the so-called New Deal down.

So from the very beginning, Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing thought that their enemy was Xu Qian, a group of businessmen and officials led by Xu Qian, for this reason, the two were fully prepared, they prepared the official army, once the businessman wanted to move, they immediately suppressed it, they prepared the inspector, which official dared to disagree with the imperial court, it was immediately investigated.

These means are foolproof.

It's just that where do the two know what the new deal is, after the implementation of the new deal, the beneficiaries are not only the merchants and officials of the new deal, the millions of craftsmen and apprentices, even the lowest level of foot power, have greatly improved their lives through the new deal, the vast majority of these people are homeless, there are also quite a lot of tenants, they are the lowest figures of the Ming Dynasty, in the past, they would never have imagined that they could support their families, they could buy new clothes for their mother-in-law, let their children, Find a way to learn in the academy.

In fact, for them, they are the most powerful supporters of the New Deal, even if the merchants do not have the New Deal, they can still have fine clothes and food, they still have servants to take care of them, they are still fresh clothes and angry horses, and even if the officials of the New Deal do not have the New Deal, they are still his masters. And these people, once there is no New Deal, once all the workshops are closed down and it is difficult to maintain, they are nothing, they may starve to death on the streets, they may continue to be homeless, hungry and cold, the best luck is to go back to the countryside, rent a few acres of land, and starve for half a year.

Therefore, there is no need to instigate them at all, as long as they may not be able to work in the future, these people will not hesitate to become the main force of tax resistance.

Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing can only be described as stunned and frightened at this time.

The fact that there are millions of people is so big that they don't even know what to do at this moment.

It's no wonder that Jiajing summoned the two into the palace overnight, presumably at this time, Jiajing also lost his sense of proportion.

It didn't take long for Jiajing to arrive angrily. He squinted, bit his lip and said nothing, and came straight in, and sat down on the dragon chair.

"Wechen has seen His Majesty."

The two saluted Jiajing.

Jiajing raised his hand lightly and said: "What's going on in Zhizhe, why did the tax supervisor make trouble as soon as it was established, and why did Wang Daozhong just go to the governor of Zhizhejiang, and such a thing happened?" ”

After some questioning, it can be seen that Jiajing does not have much patience at the moment.

Hell, it's good to be patient, such a big thing happened suddenly, and this month, the account books given to the palace by the Ruyi Fang and the Sea Route Pacification Envoy have shrunk a lot compared to before.

In the past, the palace could at least enter the account of millions of silver, but this month, it was only 300,000, and Huang Jin asked, saying that since the imperial court levied heavy taxes, the income of Ruyifang and the sea route pacification envoy has been greatly reduced, and it may be lower next month, next month.

For Jiajing, whether there is silver in the treasury or not has a little to do with him, and the more silver in the treasury, the better.

But the internal money is his foundation, if the internal money is gone, don't say that the new palace is built, it will be said in the future, and there will not be much weight.

Jiajing was very annoyed, the tax was not collected much, but there was not much money left, and in addition, such a big thing was made, and millions of people had become chaotic people, and they could kill officials and rebel at any time, which was worth it.

Yang Tinghe sat silently on the chair at this time, not saying a word, obviously there was nothing he could do about it.

As for Yang Yiqing, he hesitated for a moment and said: "The most important thing at the moment is to suppress this matter, Diao people have no form, and they cannot be connived at, Weichen thinks that all military horses should be immediately ...... be raised."

Jiajing sneered: "Now that people haven't rebelled, they have raised the pressure of military horses from all walks of life, do you think they are not fast enough to oppose 7 Where is the root of the problem?" With so many people, does elastic pressure work? ”

Jiajing is by no means an idiot, thousands of people can be suppressed by lots, tens of thousands of people can also be suppressed, if it is hundreds of thousands of people, the court will have to weigh it, but if it reaches the level of millions, the bullet pressure is death, you are obviously trying to force people to rebel.

Yang Tinghe said: "It is necessary to mobilize military horses to go to the three provinces of Zhizhejiang, but the officials and troops must lead but not provoke, and they cannot be coarse, and it is enough to form a deterrent. ”

Jiajing squinted: "It's just that right now, even if you mobilize all kinds of military horses to go to Zhejiang, I'm afraid it's already too late, and the army doesn't have months of effort, how can it arrive?" Plausion is the most important. ”

At this moment, a eunuch came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Hubu Shangshu Xu has arrived." ”

"How can it be like this, Chi Jiajing frowned slightly, such a big matter, of course Jiajing would think of Xu Qian, so not only did he invite two ministers, but Xu Qian also asked people to call him, plus Xu Qian was the governor of Zhejiang before, so he obviously had more say in this matter.

"Come in, please." Jiajing pondered for a while.

But Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing looked at each other, but they couldn't make a sound.

After a while, Xu Qian stepped in, saluted Jiajing, and said, "Wechen has seen His Majesty." ”

Jiajing nodded his head and said, "Sit." ”

Xu Qian nodded and sat down sideways, his gaze lingering on Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing for a moment, and then he sneered.

Jiajing said: "Zhizhejiang, does Xu Aiqing know?" ”

Xu Qian nodded and said, "Wechen already knows, tonight, it happened that a few old people from Zhizhejiang repaired the letter, and Wechen has some understanding of the situation there." ”

"Really?" It's one thing to play a song, it's another thing to have a private message, Jiajing really wants to hear the content of those private messages: "They ...... What did they say? ”

Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty has implemented a new policy, so that the people of Zhejiang have bathed in holy grace, but now, there are traitors in the court and the government who are wanton and wanton, and the people of Zhejiang are unbearable." ”

When Jiajing heard this, his expression couldn't help but relax, this explanation, of course, was very appetizing to him, because the people didn't seem to be dissatisfied with himself as the emperor, even if it was wrong, it was the traitorous ministers' mistake, if it was really the case, it would make Jiajing breathe a sigh of relief.

The first chapter was delivered, I got up in the morning, I had a fever, thirty-eight degrees, and I went to the doctor after finishing this chapter, and I asked for a monthly pass.
