After hearing this, Tianqi immediately stood up, glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and then said excitedly: "See you immediately!" ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xu Xianchun, and reproached in his heart: "Can you fight for our family!" ”

Xu Xianchun also opened his mouth half-open at this time, his face full of incredulity.

How did the West Factory do it?

At that time, didn't Li Sancai run away by boat after the raging fire appeared?

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Gui had already walked in at this time.

As soon as Tianqi saw Zhang Gui, he asked, "Did you Xichang really catch Li Sancai?" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! He Li Sancai smuggled golden silk nanmu, and the evidence is conclusive! The minister sent people from Xichang to arrest him, and the minister has now prepared a recital for him. ”

"How did you catch it?"

Apocalypse asked.

Zhang Guidao: "It's all up to the lives of his subordinates!" ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xu Xianchun again.

Xu Xianchun: "......"

I'm also working hard!

Tianqi patted his knee and said: "No matter what, your West Factory has made a great contribution this time, and the East Factory didn't catch him Li Sancai, but you West Factory actually caught it!" It can be seen that your West Factory is doing better than the East Factory this time! The key is that you only arrested him in the West Factory because of his smuggling, and the East Factory is because he committed a major case of rebellion, but the East Factory is not as well prepared as the West Factory. ”

Apocalypse seems to be a PUA master.

As soon as he said this, Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun's faces were a little unbearable, and they felt that they seemed to have lost a big face in front of the emperor this time.

Tianqi then instructed: "Escort Li Sancai here, and I want to see him in person." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Not long after, Huang Degong of Xichang was ordered to bring Li Sancai to Tianqi.

As soon as Tianqi saw Li Sancai, he asked: "Li Sancai, the court treats you well, why do you want to harm me?!" ”

Li Sancai said: "The sinner has nothing to say!" ”

"You must say it today!"

Apocalypse shouted.

Li Sancai glanced at Zhang Gui, then suddenly laughed, looked at Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty, that's right, you won this time, you won very completely!" However, if it weren't for Uncle Zhang Gui, you wouldn't have won! ”

Then, Li Sancai looked at Zhang Gui again: "Uncle Zhang, I don't know how you did it, the first military general recommended is a loyal minister loyal to the emperor, and dares to slaughter hundreds of Taoist officials for the emperor!" The first house to be copied after setting up the West Factory turned out to be a Jin merchant, and the wealth we temporarily stored in these merchants last year was copied! After setting up the Armament Academy, the enlisted students of the academy can defeat Jiannu in the first battle! The old man racked his brains, but he didn't figure it out, can you tell me that I will die without regrets. ”

Zhang Gui glanced at the apocalypse.

Apocalypse commanded: "Answer him." ”

Zhang Gui nodded and asked, "Is it difficult?" ”

Then, Zhang Gui said: "Isn't it just doing things for the country with a solid heart. ”

"I recommended Man Gui because he really deserves to be recommended, not because I took his money;"

"I copied Jin Shang because he really should, not because they didn't take me to make money together;"

"The training I chose for the Martial Arts Academy is really worth using, and it's not because I took their money;"

"In a word, solid for the country!"

"So, is it hard to do that?"

After Zhang Gui asked, he said to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if he Li Xiuwu is also sincere for the country, he will do better than a relative of the minister!" ”

"That's right!"

Tianqi nodded, and then looked at Li Sancai and said, "If you Li Sancai are solid for the country, you won't be bad!" ”

Saying that, Tianqi sighed with emotion: "At this point in the Ming Dynasty, there are too few people who are honest for the country, and even these scholars and scholars who have read the books of the sages only think about making profits, regardless of the safety of the people of the society!" ”

After hearing this, Li Sancai sneered: "Even so, the criminal has nothing to say!" Your Majesty no longer has to let the factory guard try the co-party of the criminal minister, and the introduction of the prisoner into the relationship is indeed the mastermind of the criminal minister, in addition to Zhou Yanru and others who have been arrested by His Majesty, the co-party of the criminal minister has correspondence with the criminal minister and the evidence can be checked is Qian Longxi, Liu Yuru, Wang Wanchun, these people, they are all the children of the Jiangnan official gentry, Your Majesty should be careful when sending the factory guard to arrest, and the criminal minister believes that they are not so easy to be arrested. ”

As he spoke, Li Sancai said again: "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Uncle Guo had already teamed up with the people of the Ye family to buy the people around the criminal, the criminal would not have been caught by you!" ”

Apocalypse sank his face when he heard this.

He had to admit that Li Sancai was right, these local snakes, the factory guards of the imperial court may not be able to successfully arrest them.

At this time, Zhang Gui stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is actually not difficult to see from the courtiers. These local traitors are nothing more than good at coercing public opinion to fight against the imperial court! But in fact, the public opinion in it can only represent the public opinion of the gentry, and most of the public opinion cannot be represented, such as tenants and urban hired laborers, small traders, and yeoman farmers. ”

"And the gentry of the noble clan are actually inseparable from the imperial court, because without the privileges granted to them by the imperial court, they cannot fight against the local government and oppress the common people."

"Therefore, if they don't know how to raise and want to resist the will of the imperial court, then the imperial court will not play with them, and simply issue an edict that all the state capitals that oppose the will or even kill the Qincha will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for ten years! If, after ten years, he still has to fight against the imperial court, then add another ten years, until he knows that he is loyal to the imperial court, he can be allowed to participate in the imperial examination! ”

When Li Sancai heard Zhang Gui say this, he became excited first and shouted at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Zhang! You! How can you provoke Your Majesty like this, don't you do this to let the noble clan of the world be trampled on by the king? What's in it for you?! ”

"Nature is good!"

Zhang Gui replied, and then said: "The advantage is that I can truly realize that there is only one emperor, not thousands of soil emperors, and the world will prohibit it from now on." ”

Li Sancai: "......"

Immediately, Li Sancai hurriedly looked at the apocalypse and said, "Your Majesty! The imperial examination is a great ceremony for talents, and it cannot be used as a power trick to manipulate the world's scholars! ”

Tianqi had to admit that Zhang Gui's proposal hit the pain point of Li Sancai, a scholar and doctor.

So, Tianqi said: "This time, the Suzhou scholars killed the imperial court factory Wei Tiqi, which obviously disobeyed my will, and the Ministry of Rites and Rites, starting from this year's Enke, plus in the next ten years, Suzhou scholars are no longer allowed to participate in the hospital examination, township examination, and general examination!" During this time, the scholars of Suzhou Mansion should seriously study the book of loyalty and filial piety! This decree is declared in the "Di Bao" to all the provinces in the world, as long as there are such disobedient people like the people of Suzhou, this is the case! ”

"Your Majesty! How can you teach your subjects such a lesson! ”

Li Sancai cried out.

Tianqi ignored it, and only ordered: "Put Li Sancai in the edict and wait for execution with other rebellious criminals!" In addition, send people to immediately arrest the comrades confessed by Li Sancai."

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian agreed, and ordered someone to take Li Sancai down.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

When Li Sancai was dragged down, he was still shouting loudly, and shouted and shouted to Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, you instigated Your Majesty to do such a trick, what do you want, what do you want!" ”

Zhang Gui smiled faintly and glanced at the apocalypse.

After Wei Zhongxian waited for Li Sancai to leave, Tianqi suddenly asked Zhang Gui: "After the scholars of Suzhou Mansion are not allowed to take the imperial examination for ten years, do you think they will be soft?" ”

"If you are soft, it is best, and if you don't accept softness, you can only ask Your Majesty to let your own people force them to be soft."

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse nodded.

Soon, the decree that the scholars of Suzhou Prefecture were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for ten years reached the ears of the officials and gentlemen of Suzhou.

"This, this, this ......"

"How can the court be like this!"
