Zhao Hongjie and Shen Yichen grew up together, and after they arrived in Beijing, they became officials in the same dynasty, and he couldn't be clearer about the other party's temperament.

If Shen Yichen wanted to solve the problem with a gentle hand, then he would come to Nanzhen Fusi Yamen alone today to ask about things, but this time there was a Li Da behind him, and the meaning he wanted to express was obvious, he no longer believed in the soldiers and horses of the Henan Local Guard, and was ready to mobilize the Jingshi Shenji Battalion to suppress the rebellion!

It was precisely because he guessed Shen Yichen's thoughts that Zhao Hongjie would later add the background of Guo Cheng and Xue Chun, and using strong means to move the two of them would inevitably cause chaos in the entire northern Shilin.

No matter how strong Shen Yichen is, the current authority is only maintained in the center of the imperial court, and the place is still the world of traditional scholars.

It's just that before Shen Yichen could speak, Li Da behind him couldn't help but reply: "Don't be alarmist here, what serious consequences can there be, a group of literati who are powerless, can their necks be harder than steel knives?" ”

Li Da has already learned the causes and consequences of the civil unrest in Henan from Shen Yichen, and he didn't plan to get used to this group of local gentry at all, a group of hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality, but are actually refined and self-interested.

The center of the court is too much scruples, which will lead to the intensification of civil unrest, and send troops to arrest a few leading corrupt Confucians as soon as possible, put them in prison or edict to go through a set of procedures, and ensure that honestly to the east, they will never dare to go west!

Listening to Li Da's rebuttal, Zhao Hongjie felt speechless for a while, what is called Xiucai meeting soldiers, it is unreasonable, and it is a living example in front of him. Even if Zhao Hongjie is essentially a military attache system of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, he still feels that it is really difficult to communicate with Li Da, so he can only focus on Shen Yichen.

But this time, Shen Yichen ignored the hint in Zhao Hongjie's eyes and did not continue to choose to compromise and forbear.

"Hongjie, you transfer a team of Jinyi guards to Henan Political Affairs Department first, monitor the political envoy Qian Fanjiang and the envoy Huang Lun, so as to prevent them from jumping off the wall in any hurry. In addition, a card was set up at the junction of Beizhili, and the temporary martial law of the Beijing division was declared under the pretext of the Tartar movement, and no disciples of the Huozhou and Hedong schools were allowed to go to Beijing to teach and study. ”

"What about you, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Hongjie did not agree or oppose Shen Yichen's order, but only asked a rhetorical question.

"Li Da and I will personally go to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate any thugs who beat up the cabinet envoy and severely punish them according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Hongjie's worst fear still happened, Shen Yichen planned to mobilize Commander Li Da's Shenji Battalion to clean up the officials and local gentry who tried to obstruct the new policy in the name of besieging the cabinet envoy.

But the problem is that the people who oppose the New Deal this time are not one or two, but the entire northern Shilin tradition of Confucianism. If Shen Yichen wants to use soldiers and horses to suppress and clean up, then the turmoil caused may be far greater than the original rebellion of Zhongguo Gong Shiheng.

Since the ancient scholars and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together, can they really use strong means to sweep away half of the country?

"To the north, you have always acted with a plan and then acted, have you thought clearly this time?"

Zhao Hongjie didn't say any reason to stop it, he just asked a simple question, he knew that Shen Yichen couldn't have weighed the pros and cons, and it was meaningless for him to emphasize it again.

"The new policy must be unswervingly implemented, if I choose to back down this time, then it means the failure of the reform and change, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to break the fate of the dynasty for three hundred years of reincarnation, and the people will always be burdened with a heavy mountain."

"I have to win!"

Shen Yichen's face was full of perseverance, after being in a high position, he was actually not very tough in terms of administrative means. For example, try to know the pros and cons of Shi Heng, try to maintain a balance with the civil official group, even for a eunuch like Cao Jixiang, as long as the other party can stay in the palace safely and quietly, he chooses to let it go.

The reason is that the orthodox dynasty has tossed too many things, and the people have been miserable, if the center of the court continues to fight fiercely, or develops into a civil war situation where soldiers meet, it will be a lose-lose outcome for the Ming Dynasty.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and it can use a slow way to solve the problem and suppress the scope of influence to the minimum, that is the real responsibility of the world and seek benefits for the outside.

After all, for the people at the bottom, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

However, Shen Yichen's new policy is no longer limited to one generation, and can completely reverse the rules of the entire social operation for thousands of years. Relying on the residual power of the country's acres of land, taking advantage of the fact that the gentry and grassroots in the world did not react, and carried it out in a lightning speed, they could cook raw rice and mature rice.

Once the appeasement stalled, and the scholars understood that the essence of the New Deal was to eradicate their privileges, then they would face opposition from the whole world if they wanted to continue with it.

Whether to use thunderous means to quell the chaos of Henan's political division, or wait until the world is opposed and unable to implement it, presumably this multiple-choice question can be easily answered.

In the face of Shen Yichen's resoluteness, Zhao Hongjie nodded without saying a word: "Okay, I'll transfer the Jinyi Guard to act, which will inevitably make the entire Northern Shilin unable to make trouble in series!" ”

Zhao Hongjie not only planned to impose martial law on Jingshi, he also planned to block the entire Beizhili region from moving around at will. You must know that Daming has a very strict household registration system, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult for people to go out at will.

Until Shen Yichen presided over the center of the court, he canceled the Ming military household system, and by the way, untied the restrictions brought by the household registration road introduction system to the people, which greatly promoted the development of commerce and trade and population flow.

However, the abolition of military households is not the same as the complete abolition of the household registration system, because after all, if the class division of the peasants and industrialists has not been completed, there will be no soil for the complete abolition of the household registration system. However, the existence of the law provides the necessary legal basis for Zhao Hongjie's blockade, and there is no way to guide it in the year of the imperial examination, and scholars are not allowed to enter Beijing at will, which is a reasonable and legal thing.

"Okay, you kid has finally done a job."

Li Da saw Zhao Hongjie's change of attitude, and teased him with a smile.

"If you can't speak, don't speak, no one treats you as dumb."

Zhao Hongjie also complained back unceremoniously, the two of them are enemies who don't like each other, one thinks the other party is weak, and the other thinks the other party is reckless.

Fortunately, brothers are still brothers after all, and they can hand over their backs at critical moments.

After making a decision, Jinyiwei and the generals of the Shenji Battalion rushed towards the planned location. On the other hand, Shen Yichen also traveled under the stars, just to rush to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province as soon as possible, and solve the civil riots as soon as possible and connect with Shilin.

Originally, as the noble status of the head assistant of Shen Yichen's cabinet, it was easy for him to leave the capital division when he sat in the center, but this time he had to show his thunderous means to make the entire corporal and doctor class realize that he was an existence that they could not fight against.

Times have changed, and this world is no longer ruled by scholars and the Son of Heaven!

A few days later, at the Yamen of Henan's Political Division, the outside was crowded with literati who had rushed to protest, chanting slogans to reject maladministration and rule the officials in the Qingming Dynasty, asking Qian Fanjiang, the political envoy, to come forward to give an explanation to everyone.

Compared with the boiling outside of the yamen, the lobby inside is a different scenery, Qian Fanjiang was not panicked by the gentry's protest at all, on the contrary, he still had a pleasant smile on his face, he was very satisfied with the current situation.

The reason is that the people in the province are fanned up, which is in Qian Fanjiang's plan. When the literati made trouble and reached a critical value, he appeared again and pretended to take a huge risk, fully revealing that he was forced to carry out the orders of the court's new policy, and threw the pot that caused the civil unrest on Shen Yichen.

At the same time, there were two angry Guo Cheng and Xue Chun sitting in the lobby, they were originally leading the group of literati in front of the door to Beijing to protest, but they walked to the border of Beizhili and were stopped by Jinyiwei.

It is claimed that the Tartars massed a large number of troops and horses to invade the border, and the entire Northern Zhili was under martial law, and no one was allowed to pass at will for the time being.

In the face of this coincidental situation, coupled with the close relationship between Zhao Hongjie, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Shen Yichen, the first assistant of the cabinet, Guo Cheng could almost easily guess that something was wrong. But the Jinyi guards are famous, they are not a group that is easy to talk to, and they occupy the moral advantage of martial law on the border of the Tartars, and it is simply "self-defeating" to break through when they can't make sense.

There was no way, Guo Cheng could only return to Kaifeng Mansion with the northern literati, and created a scene of continuous pressure on the local government, wanting to force the Jingshi Center to come forward to give an explanation.

If Shen Yichen delusionally thought that he would be able to smoothly implement the new policy by blocking the Holy Hearing, then soon the literati in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places would besiege the official yamen under the organization of the local wealthy families.

Not to mention the new land tax, even the previous land tax can't be collected in the slightest, Guo Cheng wants to see how Shen Yichen should end!

"Guo Daru, please don't be angry, Shen Yichen's blockade of the road just means that he is afraid, and he is trying in vain to block the protest voices of the scholars in the state capital from Beijing. But how can the world's mouths be blocked, how to block the sound of Huanghuang, presumably the emperor and the old ministers in the court will quickly correct this kind of behavior of powerful ministers. ”

Since ancient times, there has been a truth that blocking is better than sparse, and in Qian Fanjiang's eyes, Shen Yichen took a stupid move, and privately used Jinyi Wei to block literati from entering Beijing, which simply challenged the bottom line of the imperial power and the scholar class.

Besides, if you can seal it for a while, can you still seal it for a lifetime?

The pressure of blockade will only increase, until even the emperor has to come forward to give an explanation to the people of the world.

Who will be the accountant?

There is no doubt that Shen Yichen can only be launched to calm the anger of the public.

Qian Fanjiang sometimes wonders whether it is the current situation that creates heroes, or heroes who create the current situation. Shen Yichen controlled the government and the opposition at a young age, and it stands to reason that he should be a generation of the city government who has turned the clouds and rain, how could he do such a stunned thing.

It seems that there is no hero at the time, which makes the shaft famous.

Qian Fanjiang's words did not make Guo Cheng's anger dissipate much, he was a dignified generation of Confucians, and the local officials on the ruling side were all courteous, but they were blocked by Shen Yichen A group of brocade guards were blocked from the gate of Beizhili, and there was no quality of a literati respecting teachers.

has lived a lot of years, when did Guo Cheng suffer such grievances, he had to let Shen Yichen, a generation who had forgotten his ancestors, pay the due price!

"Qian Fantai, the old man has already sent disciples to inform the mountain chiefs of the various academies that he is bound to pursue Shen Yichen's public and private use of public power to the end. Is Jinyiwei the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, or his lackey under Shen Yichen, does Daming still have a royal law? ”

Seeing Guo Cheng's appearance of blowing his beard and staring, Xue Chun, who was sitting on the side, also persuaded: "Guo Shanchang, Da Ming will definitely not be covered by Shen Yichen with one hand, the younger generation has already informed his father of the matter, presumably the justice officials of the DPRK and China will soon launch an impeachment." ”

Xue Chun's father, Xue Xuan, is not only the leader of the Hedong School, but also the former Dali Temple, and has a good prestige and connections in the court. As the chief officer of the Three Law Divisions, he deeply hates the behavior of abusing power for personal gain, especially Shen Yichen's transfer of Jinyiwei is still suspected of trespassing.

The law is the foundation for the continuation of a country, even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty succumbed to Shen Yichen's obscenity, Xue Xuan would resolutely go out of the mountain to impeach.

Xue Xuan's status and prestige are still above Guo Cheng, and after moving his name out, Guo Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart and regained his calm thinking, and turned to business: "Shen Yichen's power is monstrous, and it can be seen from the previous incident of Beijing officials being sent abroad. ”

"The old man will go out of the mansion with Qian Fantai, reveal the essence of Shen Yichen's domineering and domineering to the world's scholars, and only by working together with the government and the opposition can the filth of officialdom be removed!"

"What Guo Daru said is very true, this official will go out with you to explain the truth!"

Qian Fanjiang, the political envoy, immediately echoed a sentence, what he wanted was Guo Cheng's identity as a great Confucian to endorse him. and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if Shen Yichen was not brought down, he could be held accountable afterwards and throw the pot on Guo Cheng's body.

After all, he was talking in front of the government office, and it was he Guo Cheng who fanned the literati, and I, Qian Fanjiang, were just forced by the situation to appease the people.

But just when he got up and was about to take a step, Qian Fanjiang suddenly felt a little unusual, that is, the hustle and bustle of the scholars outside the government office before, I don't know when it had stopped, and the entire political secretary yamen seemed unusually quiet.

It stands to reason that the scholars are a group of stubborn donkeys, and it is basically difficult to convince them of the things they identify, and now they haven't gone out to "reason", why did the other party die down so quickly?

"Huang Zhentai, have you ever warned the soldiers of the Yamen that you must not be rude to scholars!"

Qian Fanjiang subconsciously thought that it was the military service guarding in front of the political secretary's yamen that made the protests of the literati stop. He didn't want to be saddled with the infamy of "suppressing scholars", especially now that he needed to use this group of gentry to make trouble.

"Of course, I have warned you, how can the lower officials be so stupid, and they don't dare to forcibly suppress it."

Huang Lun immediately explained, he was still charged with the crime of attacking the cabinet envoy behind his back, and he was waiting to make a big deal and fish in troubled waters, how could he order military service to suppress it.

Qian Fanjiang was puzzled, so he deliberately quickened his pace, wanting to see what was going on outside the mansion. With the slow opening of the two mansion doors, the first thing that appeared in his sight was not a scholar protesting at the door, but a young official in a scarlet robe.

He is Shen Yichen!
