Chapter Eighty-Six: Clearing the Fields and Acres by Force, Killing Them All, and Hanging the Corpses at the City Gate!
The officials and gentlemen present all looked sideways at Zhang Gui.
Sun Ruyou, who was the first to speak, also looked at Zhang Gui and snorted very dissatisfied.
A relative didn't feel inferior in front of them, and he still spoke, which was already an offense to Sun Ruyou.
Sun Ruyou didn't bother to talk to Zhang Gui, so he looked directly at Zhao Yan: "Zhao Butang, you won't listen to a relative's orders." β
"Then he has no reason to follow the orders of an elder of the Zhishi Pavilion, is it possible that I still have the elder of the Mountain Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty?!"
Zhang Gui said coldly.
Sun Ruyou knocked his crutches on: "The old man just said that, why should Uncle Guo be so sarcastic!" β
Zhang Guihe sneered.
Zhao Yan said: "The new policy is not half implemented, not half implemented. β
"Then may I ask Zhao Butang, should the imperial court treat the official gentry with courtesy, and do you still want the rules of preferential treatment of scholars set by the great grandfather?!"
Sun Ruyou questioned Zhao Yanlai, and said, "Should my Wenchen be led by his relatives?!" β
Zhao Yan looked at Sun Ruyou and did not speak.
And Sun Ruyou said aggressively: "Zhao Butang, please think clearly, you can not give the face of the old man, an old minister of the three dynasties, but don't force yourself to the point of being ruined!" β
Syllable!
Zhao Yan was shocked, stood up, and glared at Sun Ruyou.
Seeing this, Zhang Gui knew that Zhao Yan, a civil official, did not dare to really make up his mind to make a move against an old minister of the Three Dynasties for a while.
After all, this Sun Ruyou is not as good as those official gentry in Yangzhou, but a cabinet scholar who has long been famous and has protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world!
It's not so easy to be ruthless to such a person, at least he, Zhao Yan, doesn't dare to do it alone.
Some of the officials and gentry present also looked smug when they saw Zhao Yan eating deflated.
"Someone!"
Zhang Gui knew that it was time for his relatives, who were not civilian forces, to put pressure on Zhao Yan.
The meaning of the existence of the noble relatives who represent the forces of the military ministers is to form a three-legged trend of mutual checks and balances with the three forces of eunuchs and civil officials, and then ensure that the emperor's orders are passed down and issued.
It's just that after Tumubao, the role of Xungui's relatives in this regard has weakened a lot, resulting in many times when the Ming Dynasty is either a civil official or a eunuch is bigger.
Now, Zhang Gui is interested in reinventing his role.
Sun Chuanting walked in: "Please command, the commander!" β
"The experience department immediately wrote a letter in the name of the governor, and rushed into Beijing for 800 miles, saying that Zhao Butang was very embarrassed, and their civil officials could not carry out the new policy, and there was great resistance, so please Your Majesty directly put aside the civil officials, and hand over the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu to the eunuchs of the inner court, and it is best to send Wei Gonggong directly, and send a town guard eunuch in each prefecture and county in Zhejiang and Zhizhi."
Zhang Gui looked at Zhao Yan as he spoke: "Zhao Butang, if you are embarrassed, this governor will let them write it." β
Zhang Gui said it very directly.
If Zhao Yan and these civil officials are unwilling to attack their own scholars, then he can only persuade the apocalypse to let Wei Zhongxian's dog come out and bite people.
And what it would be like to let the eunuchs out to interfere in politics, Zhang Gui believes that these civil officials do not understand.
"Slow!"
Before Sun Chuanting could answer "yes", Zhao Yan shouted and said, "It's very difficult for the church to say this. β
"Uncle Guo, why are you so unreasonable, can you interfere in the political affairs of foreign courts?!"
Sun Ruyou saw Zhang Gui threatening Zhao Yan, so he questioned Zhang Guilai.
"Then the affairs of the court are something that you, a gentry who has left the temple, can interfere in?!"
Zhang Gui got up and asked rhetorically.
"You!"
Sun Ruyou raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Gui: "Aren't you afraid of infamy?!" β
"Later generations will have their own public opinions, and a few rotten and stinky mouths can't scare Bendu!"
Zhang Gui replied.
"You, you, you!"
Sun Ruyou's hands trembled with anger.
Zhang Gui sneered, took his robe and sat back.
Seeing that Sun Ruyou couldn't threaten Zhang Gui, he simply turned around and threatened Zhao Yan: "Zhao Fushi, if you insist on abusing the Zhejiang gentry and disturbing the peace of the people, unless you step on the old man's body first!" β
"Master, there is an urgent letter delivered in the capital!"
At this time, Zhao Yan's staff sent a letter.
This letter was written by Yuan Keli to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan immediately opened the letter and read it, and after reading it, he looked at Sun Ruyou coldly: "Pavilion Elder, please don't question the determination of this hall to implement the imperial decree and national policy!" β
"The old man just said a word, if you want such a harsh government to be implemented in my Jiangnan, unless you let the old man die here first!"
Sun Ruyou knocked his cane on the ground and raised his head and said.
"And us! Unless we die, don't even think of implementing such a harsh government in my Jiangnan! β
Several official gentry who had been Shangshu squires also stood up.
"That's good!"
Zhao Yan nodded, and then shouted: "Please order the flag!" Immediately pull out these people who obstruct the emperor's order and national policy, leave their whole corpses and hang them at the city gate, show them to the people of Jiangnan, and dare to resist the emperor's order, all of which are like this! β
"Yes!"
Zhao Yan's standard battalion soldiers immediately came over and escorted Sun Ruyou and the others down.
Sun Ruyou was shocked and shouted: "Zhao Fushi, Zhao Butang, aren't you afraid of getting the name of a cool official when you do this?!" β
At this time, the soldiers of the standard battalion under Zhao Yan had already begun to come over and dragged Sun Ruyou out.
Several official gentry who stood up with Sun Ruyou were also dragged out.
These officials and gentry were also stunned, and shouted in a big voice.
"The surname is Zhao, we are all old ministers, you will be punished for doing this!"
"Zhao Butang, there is something to discuss, I just said it for a while! Can you leave each other with some decency! β
Bang!
Sun Ruyou had already been shot in the chest with a turtledove by the standard battalion soldiers of the Governor's Yamen.
Suddenly, a big hole appeared in Sun Ruyou's chest, blood flowed like an injection, and then he fell to the ground unwillingly and convulsed.
Bang bang!
The official gentry who stood up with Sun Ruyou to obstruct the new deal were also opened by the turtledove.
Zhou Qiyuan and other local officials and other gentry in Jiangnan were very touched when they saw this scene, some were angry, some were afraid, but they did not dare to say a word at this time.
"There are people who understand in the civil service."
Zhang Gui smiled indifferently, and after seeing that Zhao Yan was still holding the letter, he sighed in his heart.
"Again, don't question the determination of this hall to implement the imperial decree and national policy!"
Zhao Yan said: "From tomorrow, all prefectures and counties must be strictly Qingzhang, no matter who they are, they must accept Qingzhang, including the honorable officials and gentry!" The parish will send someone to follow up on the matter of Qingzhang, and if there is a person who fails to implement it, he will be dismissed at least and beheaded at worst, do you understand?! β
"Yes!"
Zhou Qiyuan and other officials replied.
So, early the next morning.
Ying Tian's governor Zhou Qiyuan and other officials began to direct their officials to go to various places under the supervision of the Qingzhang supervisor of the governor's yamen.
And the first one who needed to be cleared was the Zhuang Tian of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei.
For this reason, Zhao Yan personally came here with soldiers to urge his officials to clear their hands.
Zhang Gui also followed, he had to wait for Zhao Yan's side to finish the clearance, so that he could recover the endowment according to the yellow book and fish scale book that were redrawn after the clearance.
"Let's start clearing!"
As soon as Zhao Yan shouted, Governor Zhou Qiyuan began to take his officials and the people of the governor's yamen down to the field.
But at this time, Xu Wenjue, the little grandfather of the Duke of Wei, rushed over with a large group of slaves, and scolded and said: "Dare to clear the land of the Duke of Wei, don't you want to live?!" β
Saying that, the young and vigorous Xu Wenjue ordered his slaves: "Kill all those who go to the field!" β
Xu Wenjue said and looked at Zhao Yan and the others proudly.
Because he didn't know Zhao Yan and the others, he shouted: "Go back and tell you that the surname Zhao, if you have the ability, he will complain to Your Majesty!" β
Zhao Yan shouted at this time: "The Duke of Wei rebelled!" Murder of officials! Lawfully kill on sight! β
"Yes!"
Zhao Yan's governor in the standard camp immediately rushed over with his officers and soldiers, and fired at these powerful slaves first.
Bang bang!
Before these slaves could rush to the farmfield to attack the Qingzhang Tianmu work team that had already gone to the field, they were killed and injured countless times.
The remaining slaves also fled back.
Xu Wenjue couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and knelt down before the chief knife rushed forward: "Spare your life!" We cooperate with Qingzhang is! β
