Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di and nodded: "Your Majesty, the minister has visited everywhere and has some news. ”

Zhu Di nodded: "How?" ”

looked at Zhu Di with a bit of eagerness.

Yao Guangxiao was calm: "Your Majesty...... Since the Jingjing, there have been constant wars, disasters in various places over the years, and there are White Lotus Sects, Daomen, and Huimen everywhere......"

Yao Guangxiao paused here, raised his eyelids again, glanced at Zhu Di, and then continued: "The situation of conscription is even more of a showdown, and the people are already complaining. ”

He said it more politely.

Zhu Di listened, but he stood up, he was not angry or scolded, but listened carefully.

Hearing this, Zhu Di subconsciously said: "This is all the lawlessness of state and county officials."

Jin Zhong said even more bluntly: "The minister also sent people to make secret visits, but the people complained about it, but it was Your Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's body shuddered.

To some extent, Zhu Di became alert.

In fact, although the entire Yongle Dynasty has done a lot of great things, because Zhu Di's name is not right, he belongs to the usurper king, coupled with the withering of the people's livelihood and the continuous disasters, the people in the whole world have changed very quickly.

It's just that Zhu Di doesn't take these to heart, he feels that he can completely control the situation, the so-called popular uprising, as long as the officials and soldiers arrive, they can be suppressed.

But the White Lotus Sect made Zhu Di suddenly wake up to something, a Dao Sect cannot be rampant to such a point, there must be some reason.

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong are the people Zhu Di trusts the most, and if others say something, the ministers may reverse right and wrong, but the prince or Zhang Anshi are trustworthy, but they speak well and listen to it.

Only Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong can say something from the bottom of their hearts behind closed doors.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di asked Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong to make secret visits to investigate.

"Resentment?" Zhu Di's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said coldly: "Why didn't I think of the people, what did the people do when they resented me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the dirt of the country is the lord of the society; The country is ominous, and it is the king of the world. The people of the world don't care about this, what they care about is whether they are living better than before, if they can live and work in peace and contentment, they will praise Your Majesty, but if they are displaced, they will resent Your Majesty. Yao Guangxiao said.

Zhu Di sat down, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that there are also a lot of chaotic parties, and they are secretly bewitching the public." ”

Jin Zhong smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's not important, isn't there a demon when Tang Taizong is here?" But why did hundreds of people vie with each other for hundreds of years to come? ”

Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he closed his eyes: "Hey...... In the end, I am far inferior to people. I'm just a martial artist. ”

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhongxi were silent.

Zhu Di was in a particularly heavy mood: "Although I am brave, if I know that people in the world are resentful of me, even if I have all kinds of martial arts, I can't help but be like a man, and the way to govern the world is not my forte after all." ”

He shook his head, and said in a depressed mood: "This is also the intention of ordering the prince to open the mansion, he is generous and patient, not as eager as I am, but ...... What I'm worried about ...... He was misunderstood...... Fortunately, Zhang Anshi is a person who is willing to do his best for the prince, but he is also decisive, otherwise, I really don't feel at ease. Yang Pu is a person...... Have you heard of it? ”

Jin Zhong and Yao Guangxiao glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"This person was recommended by Zhang Anshi as a bachelor of Zhan Shifu, but I don't know how much ability this person has, let's wait and see."

Zhu Di pursed his lips: "It is not easy for Emperor Taizu Gao to start a business, I want to be a filial son, so that I will be glorious for eternity, which is worthy of Emperor Taizu Gao's nurturing grace, but now it seems that ...... There are some things I can do. But there are some things that are very confused, if you can't do it well, you will not be a descendant, and you will not be able to see Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

Zhu Di turned around: "What are the people scolding me for?" ”

Yao Guangxiao was difficult to speak, and only said Amitabha.

Jin Zhong is a real person: "Most of them are filthy words, and some are used to make fun of them." ”

Zhu Di's face stiffened, he couldn't imagine that his folk image was so bad.

Yao Guangxiao comforted Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty...... There is a world in the world, and it is inevitable that there will be people ......"

Zhu Di shook his head: "When I first ascended the throne, Jiangxi Yongxin people changed, in the second year of Yongle, there were Xincheng people changes, and in the third year, it was Xunzhou, Guizhou, and Liuzhou people's changes. Just the year before last, there was also the Nanyang civil uprising in Henan, which were all relatively large popular uprisings, and as for the other popular uprisings, they were even more numerous. I used to think it was just scabies, but now it seems that this is not the case. ”

Zhu Di said: "It's just ...... How to appease the hearts of the people in the world......"

He shook his head and continued to bow his head in silence.

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong also frowned.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, to be honest...... This is the ...... Difficult!

At this moment, a eunuch arrived outside the palace, and Yizha took a piece of music and came in, saying, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei Guo is playing." ”

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back: "What did you play?" ”

Yisha opened the song, looked down for a moment, and said: "Wei Guogong said that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are entrenched in the Taiping Mansion, and there are countless demons and ignorant people who are bewitched by it, so I implore Your Majesty to ...... In order to prevent this from happening and to restore peace to the Gyeonggi Empire at the foot of the Son of Heaven in the Taiping Mansion, please Your Majesty... Enzhun allowed the Taiping Mansion to control the Taiping Mansion with military law to eliminate the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Di said: "Military law controls the people, he dares to think." ”

Yishu said: "In the song, it was also said that the situation of the White Lotus Sect in Taiping Mansion was not optimistic, and it had reached the point where it could not be delayed. ”

The horizontal flesh on Zhu Di's face trembled: "What do Master Yao and Jin Butang think?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, this An Shimo doesn't want to sell dog meat on a sheep's head." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Yao Guangxiao said: "Zhang Anshi, the prefect of Taiping Mansion, is fighting for it himself, why do you want to fight for this Taiping Mansion, it is definitely not that he has thought about the prefect's addiction, but he has his own mind, and now he has this again...... The minister thought it was ...... He wanted to do something, but he didn't dare to look at it, so he simply ...... Just came up with such a bad idea. ”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head again: "No." ”

"There's something wrong with it."

"Zhang Anshi is a person...... He is indeed decisive in his work, and he is also clever, but this kind of handwriting is not his style, Your Majesty, someone must have instigated him behind his back. ”

Zhu Di said: "You're right, this is like your style." ”

Yao Guangxiao: "......"

Zhu Di said: "In this way, I should find Zhang Anshi to ask clearly?" ”

"Not really." Yao Guangxiao smiled and shook his head: "Why does Your Majesty ask, the matter is Zhang Anshiti, he wants to cheer up, then let him cheer up, Your Majesty asked, but it became Your Majesty's support for him." ”

"Isn't it possible to support it?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "Why does the Son of Heaven want the minister to help him govern the world?" Because the lord of the society, tens of millions of stakeholders are maintained in one, if everything comes forward, it will be criticized, so the ministers do the work for them, and if things go wrong, the Son of Heaven can come forward to correct the minister's behavior. If the minister does a good job, the country will be stable, and His Majesty will also benefit greatly. ”

Zhu Di said: "Hey...... They all have fancy intestines. ”

Zhu Di looked at Yizha: "En's permission for this piece of music is accurate." ”

Zhu Di said to Yao Guangxiao again: "You send people again, make secret visits everywhere, and go all over the world." ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Obey the order." ”

Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong said goodbye, the two walked side by side, Jin Zhong said: "Who is the person behind Zhang Anshi's idea?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Amitabha, don't look at the poor monks, the poor monks don't do these things anymore." ”

Jin Zhong said: "There are such poisoners in the world. ”

Yao Guangxiao's face changed, and he finally shook his head again, keeping his mind calm.

Jin Zhong said: "What do you say Zhang Anshi wants to do?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "Military law is just martial law, it is military law, that is, the previous law of the Taiping Mansion is all invalid, he Zhang Anshi said what is military law, what is military law." ”

Jin Zhong said: "This kid is really bold, and the Son of Heaven dares to play like this." ”

"It's different." Yao Guangxiao said: "If someone else is like this, the emperor and the crown prince should wonder if this person wants to make trouble." He did this because he wanted to be loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, which is like someone else's child being naughty, and you will get tired of it when you see it. But if your own son and nephew are naughty, but you think this child is smart, you can't be happy. ”

Jin Zhong said: "Hey, I don't know this guy...... What will come out, after all, he is still young, it is not possible for people to be clever, and to govern a place, you can't rely on cleverness, which is related to the well-being of thousands of people, no joke. ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "You just worry less about snacks." ”

"How can I not worry about it, after all, this kid is a piece of jade, and his future is great."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "Hey, in fact, the poor monk is also worried. ”

"What is the monk worried about?"

"The military law has been implemented, is it necessary to strictly prohibit monks from turning into fate?"

“……”

…………

Perch.

The Taiping Prefecture has all arrived with the magistrates, general judges, magistrates, governors, Zhaoma, and Xuezheng, as well as the county magistrates, county officials, chief registers, and wardens of each county.

Hundreds of people, standing here obediently at this time.

In fact...... Many people were absent, as early as when the White Lotus Sect was arrested, two county orders were arrested, and an inspection was also involved.

At this time, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and they looked uneasy.

Zhang Anshi arrived, ascended to the seat, and everyone was busy saluting.

Zhang Anshi only glanced at them: "You know the will, right?" ”

Tongzhi Gao Xiang stood up tremblingly: "I have learned." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The White Lotus Sect is mad, people and gods are angry, if you don't get rid of these demons, I, Zhang Anshi, will be uneasy for a day, everyone, I will wait for the matter of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, and now the White Lotus Sect in the counties is so rampant, how can I report it to the country and the people." ”

Everyone said yes.

Zhang Anshi said: "Now that the military rule is used to rule the government, then what is practiced now is military law, in order to wipe out the White Lotus Sect, it is necessary to use heavy codes in troubled times, who is in favor and who is against?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Anshi bowed his head: "Okay, first issue the first military order, in order to prevent the infiltration of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, from now on, abolish the road guide, allow the people to act, revoke the township checkpoints, all road inspections, no more road inspections, unless necessary, no search for commercial goods at the wharf and city gate." ”

Gao Xiang's mind was dazed, and he said timidly: "Gong...... Grandpa...... What does this path have to do with the White Lotus Sect? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The people are all staying in one place, isn't it clear that the people of the White Lotus Sect will find them and tempt them with evil words?" Zhang Anshi said: "You don't understand such common sense, what kind of official are you doing?" ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "This second military order, re-measure the land, in the Taiping Mansion, no longer collect by capitation, but apportioned into the mu, from today on, everything will be paid according to the amount of land!" ”

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar.

Lose your marbles.

Isn't it true that whoever has more land will suffer?

Gao Xiang was a little anxious, and said stubbornly at this time: "Grandpa...... We...... Isn't it catching the White Lotus Sect? ”

Zhang Anshi glared at him angrily: "White Lotus Sect bandits...... The best hiding land, now re-measure the land, and master all the hidden land, so that this White Lotus Sect bandit has nothing to hide. As for this apportionment into the mu, it is even simpler, whoever has more land, who pays more taxes, instead of collecting them according to the capitation, this is to prevent the homeless, many people, clearly have no land, but they still have to collect his poll tax, he can't pay it, doesn't he become a rogue? Wouldn't this rogue just happen to be used by the White Lotus Sect? If you want to fight the White Lotus Sect, you have to cut off their roots, the so-called capture people first capture the king, shoot people first shoot horses, do you understand this truth? ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "This third ......"

Gao Xiang was a little anxious, at this time he only felt that he was carrying out such a military law, and if something happened to him, how could he explain it to the local gentry.

He immediately said, "Grandpa......"

When Zhang Anshi heard him interrupt him, he immediately became furious, and almost pointed at his nose and scolded: "Into your mother, why are you talking for the White Lotus Sect everywhere, why, could it be that you also collude with the White Lotus Sect." It's no wonder, it's no wonder that the report issued by the inner thousand households said that many local officials colluded with the White Lotus Sect and plotted against it...... No wonder the first time I saw you, I looked at you horizontally and vertically, just like that White Lotus Sect bandit. ”

Gao Xiang was so frightened that he was about to be paralyzed, and immediately said, "No...... No, Grandpa Mingjian. ”

When the others saw it, they were already too frightened to come out.

The priest in a county, because of his age, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted.

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't quibble, the troubled times use heavy codes, what is practiced now is military law, you are so bold, you are actually open for the White Lotus Sect, and at this time, you are still speaking for them everywhere, it can be seen that you are not an ordinary White Lotus Sect bandit, but the bold White Lotus Sect thief leader!" ”

"Wronged......" Gao Xiang shouted.

Zhang Anshi said: "The court treats you well, supporting you so many wives and concubines and children, you do such a thing, are you right to start the court, worthy of me?" ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

He was so frightened that he couldn't speak, trembling, it wasn't fun to get involved in the chaos of the White Lotus Sect.

He hurriedly said: "Xia Guan didn't mean this, Xia Guan meant... Grandpa...... You...... It is ...... that you have stepped forward to stand up at a time when this country is in crisis Really...... The subordinate officials admired, the subordinate officials hated the White Lotus bandits, and they couldn't eat their flesh raw, and now at this time of crisis, the grandfather is willing to kill the thief, and the subordinate officials should serve the dogs and horses. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Really? ”

Gao Xiang said: "Yes, yes, yes, Xiaguan...... With the head of the item as a guarantee, what Fang just said came from the bottom of his heart. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "These words, you can say in private, now that you are in a meeting, don't be verbose, always interrupt me, and teach me to doubt your intentions." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Gao Xiang was sweating, he only felt that he had gone to the ghost gate and walked away, he had already planned, and he would resign when he went back this time.

Zhang Anshi said: "But if you are willing to serve, then it is better, when I am employing people now, I am afraid that someone will collude with the White Lotus Sect." Let's just talk about it, I heard an edict that said that I should resign and return to my hometown to tell my old age, hum...... I think this sect is afraid that there is a ghost in his heart, it is because he connived at the White Lotus Sect bandits on weekdays, and he is weak in heart to be a thief at this time. Want to run? He resigned, where can he go? At the ends of the earth, I can also find him, and anyone who colludes with the White Lotus Sect will share the sky with me, and I will kill him quickly. ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi swept everyone: "None of you want to resign, right?" ”

Everyone laughed: "Haha, haha...... Don't dare, don't dare. ”

"Don't dare?"

Everyone laughed again: "No, no, no, the court has been raising scholars for decades, and now the White Lotus Sect is in trouble, it is the time for the court to employ people, how dare you hang up the crown and leave." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "That's right, this is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, into his mother, those who eat people's fat and people's ointment on weekdays, they want to run away when they encounter something, who does he think he is, and he took advantage of the imperial court...... still occupies my head Zhang Anshi, does he treat the court and me as a fool? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd laughed again.

Gao Xiang was also happy: "Local officials, it is the responsibility to defend the land, whoever dares to escape, I will discuss it under the mountain of Taiping Mansion." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Gao Tongzhi is right, this is very good, write it down, I want to go out and teach the scribes in these counties to study hard." ”

Gao Xiang smiled: "Grandpa...... I don't think it's necessary to ......."

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't be modest, okay, that's it, next." Article 3 Military Order: Waste Craftsman Households, Medical Households, and Civilian Households...... Of course, this is also to guard against the White Lotus Sect, huh...... Everybody gets it. ”

At this time, Gao Xiang and the others were numb, and at this time, there was a kind of destruction in their hearts, and they loved it.

Therefore, they all laughed: "Yes, yes, yes......"

Some people even shook their heads: "Abolish this...... It is greatly advantageous to suppress bandits, and the White Lotus Sect is a villain, insidious and cunning, always walking the streets and alleys as doctors and craftsmen, and now it is good...... Anyone can walk the streets...... Isn't that all there is to it...... Isn't it just ......?"

Speaking of which, this person with a smile on his face is a little unable to make it up, because if he continues to say this, won't the White Lotus Sect even have to pretend to be identified, and it will be more convenient to connect the people?

Zhang Anshi's face fell, and he suspected that this person must have come to make trouble.

The man hurriedly said: "All in all, wonderful, this strategy is wonderful, it is really wonderful, the grandfather is clever, always one step ahead of the White Lotus Sect bandits, and teaches them nothing to hide." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Really? ”

His eyes wandered.

Where their eyes swept over, everyone nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes." ”

There are also people who can't stand it, but they have to make compromises.

Zhang Anshi said: "For the time being, these three articles, but next, there are some detailed rules, when the time comes, Zhang Bang will go out, so as to teach the counties and townships to convey, not only that, you have the responsibility to defend the territory, in the locality, especially in accordance with the military law, all the military orders I issued, if there is disobedience, or Yang Feng Yin violation, but don't let me be caught, what is done now is military law, those who do not respect military orders, there is no forgiveness." ”

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi looked at Gao Xiang: "Gao Tongzhi, I don't think you're very happy." ”

Gao Xiang said: "Where, it's too late for the lower officials to be happy." ”

"Okay, very." Zhang Anshi said: "In this case, then do this, everyone will have a meal here at noon, after the meal, I want to call you one by one to talk privately, you have any ideas to suppress thieves, you can speak freely to me, don't be afraid." ”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand, and everyone was arranged to eat as if they had been amnestied.

……

"Gao Tongzhi, Gao Tongzhi ......"

When Tu County ordered a trot to catch up with Gao Xiang.

Dangtu County was originally the place where the Taiping Mansion was governed, because the prefect's yamen and the prefect's yamen worked in the same city, so the relationship between the county order and Gao Tongzhi was relatively familiar. 、

When the county commander of Tu County, Deng Tong looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Gao Tongzhi, how can I look at ......?"

"Don't look at it." Gao Xiang said in a low voice: "What else is there to see......

"No, what are we going to do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Following this Anshi, it is going to be stinky for 10,000 years."

"You want to resign?"

Deng Tong's face was blue and red, and he snorted for a long time: "Don't dare, don't dare, what does the lower official mean...... It's good to find a way. ”

"I've thought about it." Gao Xiang sighed.

Deng Tong's eyes lit up: "What way." ”

Gao Xiang stretched out his hands: "There is no way!" ”

Deng Tong: "......"

Gao Xiang sighed: "Hey...... We are not Beijing officials, nor are we noble Hanlin, and now that the catastrophe is coming, what else can we do except to compromise? ”

Deng Daodao: "I'm afraid that after returning to the county, those gentry in the county will poke our backbone." “

Gao Xiang wanted to cry without tears: "They are just poking at the backbone, here they are going to cut off your head, do you know what it means to control the people by military law?" People really dare to kill. ”

Deng Daodao: "Xiaguan understands." ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Anshi summoned people for a private talk.

The first to come, of course, was Tongzhi Gao Xiang.

Gao Xiang saluted Zhang Anshi in the small hall, Zhang Anshi pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "Gao Tongzhi, you and I are colleagues, if you don't look up and look down, you don't need to be polite, how is the situation at home, is Ling Zun still in the hall?" How are you doing? ”

Gao Xiang answered one by one.

Zhang Anshi said: "Ling Zun has such a long life, which is really enviable, unlike Qin Zhengxue's father......"

Gao Xiang: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Are you familiar with the county order of Dangtu County?" ”

Gao Xiang hurriedly said: "It's quite familiar." ”

"It's no wonder." Zhang Anshi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "No wonder he says everything to you, even if he follows me to do things that will stink for 10,000 years, you must cherish such friends, nowadays people go out to make friends, few people are willing to tell you the truth." Yikes...... Gao Tongzhi...... How to be decent, what do you do when you kneel. ”
