Chapter 624: Shocking Birth

When it came to marriage, Zhang Jingyi was mentally prepared: "This matter has been repaired to the minister's father." ”

For Zhang Jingyi's sensibility, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy, and he bowed his head and said: "This is very good, and it will be beautiful at that time." ”

Zhang Jing thought about it for a while, but said: "The minister thinks that there is no need for scenery, everything is simple." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse subconsciously frowned and said, "Why is this? ”

"I heard that many people, even the poor, have to do a lot of things in order to get married, but in fact, ...... The etiquette is too complicated, but it brings a huge burden to people, and even causes the extravagant comparison in many places, the current country is poor, it is the time of weakness, and it is not the time to cause comparison and extravagance, you might as well break this precedent with the minister, mainly simple, so that if those disciples of the Donglin Military Academy get married in the future, it is naturally impossible to have a higher standard than the minister. ”

In Zhang Jingyi's view, these students who have made meritorious contributions will sooner or later fill the posts of civil and military officials in various states and counties in the world.

In this era, people pay attention to etiquette, courtiers can not encroach on the emperor, protΓ©gΓ©s can not encroach on the teacher, if Zhang Jingyi is simple when he marries the princess, then it is not easy for others to exceed this specification, if not, not only will not feel that there is light on the face, but will make people laugh.

And if the students are like this, what will happen to their subordinates in the future?

These increasingly complicated etiquette not only waste a lot of manpower and material resources, but also easily give birth to the wind of comparison.

Zhang Jingyi said again: "The minister also heard that many people want to complete their marriages through loans, which is a good face, and the number of etiquette is also comprehensive, but what is the benefit to the country and the livelihood of the people?" So the minister means...... Try your best to be simple, simply to set an example, anyway, the minister is not good at this face. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse groaned and said with a slight hesitation: "If this is the case, I am afraid that I have wronged the palace and the Zhang family." ”

"No grievances." Zhang Jingyi said very calmly: "The eldest husband's meritorious achievements are the biggest face, and the princess marries a meritorious family like the Zhang family, and it is not decent, how can she rely on big operations to win everyone's praise?" This is a sacrifice for the end, and the minister thinks that ...... There is no need to be realistic. ”

"Then you have a charter." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "I'll take a look and talk about it." ”

Zhang Jing responded.

More than half a month later, a new report came from Hankow.

The report reached the Cabinet, which was in an uproar.

Huang Liji took this note, just smiled bitterly, he threw it to Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun, and sighed: "You guys take a good look." ”

Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun also frowned after watching the song.

Exact recital...... The three towns of Wuhan have been taken by Li Zicheng.

Originally, Li Zicheng only occupied Hankou in the north of the Yangtze River.

It stands to reason that as long as the defenders of Wuchang defend the river, they can resist Li Zicheng, but it is a pity...... Someone voted for Li Zicheng, so that Li Zicheng's military horse finally entered Wuchang.

As a result, the three towns of Wuhan completely fell into the hands of Li Zicheng.

And Li Zicheng entered Wuchang, and the first thing he did was to open the imperial examination.

"Open the branch to win over the gentry." Liu Hongxun said worriedly: "In the land of Jingchu, the gentry are all over the place, and the gentry originally guarded against the rogues, and the gentry contributed the most, but now they ...... Once these gentry turned to support Li Thief, they were helpless. ”

Huang Liji was silent.

Sun Chengzong was worried about another matter, so he said: "This Li thief seized Wuchang, and actually ordered Qiu to commit no crimes, and he no longer touched the gentry's property...... This is the main problem...... However, if this Li thief does not torture the salary, where does the salary come from? ”

Huang Liji said: "There is another note here, you can take a look." ”

Sun Chengzong then opened this note, and at a glance, everything suddenly understood.

There is also a king of Chu in Wuchang, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is a ruthless man, and he has done a very ruthless thing, that is, he ordered someone to directly beat Zhao Kehuai, the governor of Huguang, to death.

This person has been in power for many years, and the wealth and goods in the palace are piled up, and this time Li Zicheng attacked Wuchang, and the local officials of Huguang panicked, gathered in the palace of the king of Chu, knelt down and begged Zhu Huakui to donate money, Zhu Huakui pointed to the gold-wrapped chair given by the Hongwu Dynasty, and said: "This can be the army, he has nothing!" ”

It was not without the extreme disappointment of the Chuzhong staff.

So Li Zicheng killed Wuchang, killed all the Chu Palaces, took millions of gold and silver in the palace, and carried hundreds of cars!

It can be said that ...... Li Zicheng actually relied on the savings of more than ten generations of King Chu and was directly resurrected with full blood!

Not only that, but the king of Chu also had a large number of royal villages, and in these royal villages, there were mountains of grain, which, according to the report, were enough to sustain Li Zicheng's army for a year.

So Li Zicheng played the banner of opening the imperial examination, bribing the gentry, ordering military horses, and committing no offense against the people, and at the same time began to loot the money and food of the clan, which shook Jing Chu for a while.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to continue to let it go! Once Jiangnan erodes, my Ming will be bad. Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly: "Actually...... The old man said from his heart, some gentry are indeed excessive, the old man is also from the gentry's family, and now the rich are in the world, and the poor have no place to stand, which is indeed not a good sign. But the new policy is so urgent, those gentry who were originally interested in the imperial court are now willing to go along with the Li thief, just afraid of this time...... In our capital, there are also people who secretly praise Li Thief. ”

Huang Liji couldn't help but sigh and said, "Li Zicheng has made a bad start." However, the top priority at the moment is Gao Yingxiangren and others...... It was very worrying to hear that they were swimming near Nanzhili. ”

Only Sun Chengzong fell into deeper worries at this time.

He had an indescribable feeling, knowing that Zhang Jingyi's wrist was not necessarily a bad thing, maybe the long-term stability of the country would depend on the people to have some land, and then have something to eat.

But he also knows that such a new deal has drained the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.

plus Li Zicheng, who pried the corner of the wall...... This......

He couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Really...... What happened in Jing Chu immediately caused a great repercussion in the capital.

This is understandable.

The court is so harsh to the gentry, and now that it's good, even the gentry have been forced to rebel, how can it go on like this?

So for a while, there was a suffocating atmosphere in the capital.

A lot of imperial history, after all, did not calm down, Dali Temple Qing Chen Yangmei, last time did not be affected, because he is really upright as an official, and there is almost no stain, this is Jinyiwei verified.

But he didn't receive Zhang Jingyi's love!

This time, he played and implored the imperial court to immediately find a way to retain the scholar, so as not to be exploited by Li Zicheng.

In fact, his argument is not wrong, if the court does not win over the gentry, then the gentry will deviate from morality sooner or later!

And Li Zicheng opened the imperial examination in Wuchang, which clearly had the intention of encompassing the world's corporals, and now while the gentry still have doubts about people like Li Zicheng, the imperial court must suspend the current new policy, issue an edict, and regain the lost hearts and minds.

It's just this note...... The stone sank into the sea and was put on the shelf.

But no matter how it is shelved, everyone's worries are still not resolved.

Chen Yangmei saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had an iron-hearted attitude, and she only sighed.

By the middle of January.

At this time, the capital was covered with snow, and it was cold everywhere.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had been silent, issued an order to drive to the new county and new district.

His Majesty finally had some reaction, but this reaction still made people laugh and cry.

When is it, and what new district do you still have the leisure to go to?

This new district is just outside the capital.

It is a new city opened up in the new county.

In fact, many people have heard of that place, but after all, it is a little far away, it belongs to the suburbs, and there are relatively few people who have been there.

In the early morning of this day, hundreds of officials gathered at the Daming Gate and waited outside the Daming Gate.

Zhang Jingyi also came, and got off the horse neatly, he was already handsome, and under this snowy scene, it was a beautiful scene, but as usual, everyone didn't want to pay attention to him.

On the contrary, when His Royal Highness the King of the County arrived in front of the Daming Gate Gate, someone greeted him: "Your Highness......"

Zhang Jing took a closer look, it was Sun Chengzong.

Others don't dare to pay attention to Zhang Jingyi because they are afraid of being seen that they have an unclear relationship with Zhang Jingyi, but Sun Chengzong is different, because Sun Chengzong is the biggest clear stream, so he is not afraid of being criticized.

On the other hand, a person with a controversial reputation like Huang Liji can only put on a serious expression that is not worthy of Lao Tzu.

Zhang Jing smiled and saluted Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said: "Go to the new area, is it His Highness's idea?" ”

Zhang Jingyi didn't dodge, and replied directly: "Exactly." ”

Sun Chengzong asked again: "Why are you going to the new area?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said very seriously: "I have a big baby that I want to show to everyone." ”

That's the truth......

Sun Chengzong: "......"

Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "By the way, I heard that it is now in Guanzhong...... There was another famine. ”

"How can you not make trouble?" Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly, and then said: "Originally, there were many wanderers, and there were no people in Guanzhong, who knows, and finally the wanderers went to other places, but ...... This year, there is no harvest. ”

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Has the imperial court thought about relief this time?" ”

Sun Chengzong was surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Jingyi to still care about Guanzhong's affairs.

So although many people were silent, they all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear what Zhang Jingyi and Sun Chengzong were saying.

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "I want to help, but I have no heart!" ”

Zhang Jing asked, "Why is this?" ”

Sun Chengzong raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Doesn't Your Highness know? Not to mention, this road is not very smooth, if you encounter a rogue, then the money and grain transported, all will be lost, not to mention, how to transport so much grain...... How big this loss is, will Your Highness not know? ”
