When Wu Zhizhan's words came out, everyone couldn't hold back.

Yao Guangxiao is old.

If it is said that he died of old age during his journey.

In fact, this is acceptable to everyone.

But he died of starvation, disease, and even being beaten to death, which is completely unacceptable.

Who is Yao Guangxiao?

This is the driving force behind the entire Jingjing.

Almost all the princes and generals in the court today have benefited greatly from the appeasement.

To put it mildly, even Hu Guang and Yang Rong, if it weren't for the Jingjing, when Jianwen was here, they would have to wait for at least 20 years if they wanted to come out.

After all, Huang Zicheng and others, who were surrounded by Jianwen, almost controlled the court under Jianwen's trust.

Not to mention, the relationship between this person and Zhu Di.

If Zhu Di is King Wu of Zhou, then Yao Guangxiao is Jiang Ziya.

But it was difficult to succeed, everyone got what they deserved, Zhu Di became the emperor as he wished, and the rest of the people were either princes, or entered the cabinet, or became a ministry.

Only Yao Guangxiao refused all the high-ranking officials and only accepted a petty official of the Sanglu Division.

Although he often gave advice to Zhu Di, as soon as he left the palace, he immediately changed into monk's clothes, ate fasting and recited Buddha.

Almost everyone in this hall felt that Yao Guangxiao was a terrible person.

But everyone paid tribute to him.

You can dislike him, you can find a hundred faults in him, but you have to be respectful to him in front of him.

It was such a man who was beaten to death...... starved to death......

Isn't this a ridiculous joke, what is it?

"Nonsense!" Someone stood up, and the one who spoke was a royal history.

This imperial history is young, and he immediately senses the problem.

The place where Yao Guangxiao had an accident was Ning Guofu, isn't this obvious, is someone trying to frame Ning Guofu?

Yu Shi subconsciously thought that this must be a conspiracy by some people in the Taiping Mansion to frame Ning Guofu, so he stiffened his face and said categorically: "Who is Yao Gong, who dares to harm him?" ”

"It's a small official, a local county lieutenant, a magistrate, and a government office." Wu Zhizhan replied very calmly at this time, he had already been mentally prepared.

He immediately said: "When Yao Gong arrived at Ningguo's Mansion, he was mistaken for an ordinary monk, so he was sent as a doctor Latin, and he was tortured since then......"

Zhu Di's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't speak for a while.

He only felt that his heart was stuffy, and he wanted to cover his heart, but in front of the ministers, he didn't want to show his vulnerability.

The imperial history continued to question: "Yao Gong is old, how can he be regarded as a doctor? ”

Wu Zhizhan did not hesitate to take out a proclamation from his sleeve and said: "The situation is like this, in order to prevent the plague, the government government requires the recruitment of a large number of medical households, this is the notice sent by the government to Xuancheng County, asking for the recruitment of seventy-six medical households. ”

As soon as he raised this official document, a eunuch quickly took it and sent it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di didn't look at it, only shook his head with difficulty and nodded at Yang Rong.

The eunuch understood, so he sent the proclamation to Yang Rong again.

Yang Rong took it, looked at it, and immediately said: "Yes, it's just to recruit doctors and slow down the plague." ”

Wu Zhizhan took out another yellow book at this time and said: "So the counties under the county have recruited medical households, among which ...... On the side of Nanling County, according to the order of the government office, 39 households were recruited, so 47 families were escorted in Nanling County to leave. ”

The people were silent.

But there was still a young stunned young man who stood up and said, "Since thirty-nine households are recruited, how can forty-seven households come?" ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "We have to recruit more as attrition." ”

The stunned young man raised his eyebrows and said, "This is also a loss?" ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "Of course there are, some people will flee, and some people will starve to death or die of illness halfway." ”

And they were silent, and they told the truth...... This Nanling County is only a day's journey to Taiping Mansion, so a large number of people can starve to death and die of disease, and the reason is really far-fetched.

Wu Zhizhan continued to take out a document and said, "This is the book of the Dianmao, which is from the Push Mill Institute." The guilty minister dared to send the messenger to the grinding station in the palace and asked for some books, on the grounds that he wanted to copy a copy for the record. You see......... This is the point book of Nanling County, and the person named Zhang Ye is Yao Gong. ”

The eunuch took the book again and sent it to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong only looked at it, his face changed greatly, he took a deep breath, and his eyes were already a little red.

People like him can actually see at a glance.

So Yang Rong read in a hoarse voice: "Zhang Ye, twenty-seven years old, a doctor, with a mole on his face, a short beard, and a tall ......."

There was a deathly silence in the temple.

"Over there in Nanling County, the Yao Gong sent is Zhang Ye." Wu Zhizhan was confirmed.

Yang Rong trembled and said, "Why, according to the mill...... It is obvious that the people in the Zhaoma Institute are not right, why do you have to accept it? ”

"First, I don't want to offend Nanling County, and second, what the government wants is a doctor, if you block it, this amount will not be enough. The government was in a hurry, but in the end, there was no corresponding number, and the responsibility could not be taken off. ”

Wu Zhizhan's logic is very clear.

Before he came, he knew that his lawsuit this time was related to his net worth and life, and he could only succeed and not fail.

The worst result is to cure a crime of false accusation, and the false accusation of the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials, as well as so many superiors and colleagues, is enough to make him irreversible.

So he was well prepared.

At this time, he continued: "The lower officials also learned that after someone took Yao Gong into custody, he was hungry for two days, but what can be recorded in the eucalyptus is that Yao Gong has eaten meat along the way, but in fact, it ...... There was also a doctor who starved to death, and the lower officials went to find out, and there was an autopsy on the person who starved to death with Yao Gong, and found that the person's stomach was almost empty. Thus...... The so-called rice meat along the way recorded in eucalyptus is simply empty talk. ”

At this moment, there was an uproar in the temple.

This operation is suffocating.

Many people subconsciously looked at Zhu Di secretly.

But Zhu Di only sat and didn't say a word at this time.

Mo said that it was him, even Zhang Anshi couldn't hold back, and for a while, he stood in place like a stupid chicken, unable to say anything.

Yang Rong was quite calm, he stared at Wu Zhizhan and said, "There is still ...... You say sick and dead? ”

"Yes, he's sick, and he's in a bad condition, which is what the doctor he went with learned about it."

Yang Rong then asked: "Since everyone who went with them were doctors, why didn't anyone help?" ”

"Because it's very simple, although all people are counted as doctors like Yao Gong, in fact, there is no real doctor, they are all strong men who are forcibly pulled."

“……”

The criminal also went to inquire about some officials in the county, and they were forced to ask in a hurry, so they told the truth and said that it was ...... Historically, the medical household...... Most of them are scholars, have a lot of connections with the local gentry, or open a medicine hall in the county, have a thin family capital, and some even have a reputation in the examination. The government wants to forcibly recruit medical households without compensation, how can real medical households be willing to go? Of course, it's indiscriminate. ”

Yang Rong shuddered.

He already felt that the temple was full of murder.

His Majesty is no longer the only one who has a murderous aura, even if he is not a minister, and now he seems to be provoked by this operation.

Zhang Anshi suppressed his anger and pursed his lips tightly, as if he was trying very hard to endure it, and he didn't say a word.

After hearing this, Yang Rong just sighed in his heart, and said quietly: "In this way, the so-called plague prevention ......"

"The plague has begun to show signs in the counties." Wu Zhizhan sighed and said, "Hundreds of households have already appeared in Xuancheng, and more than thirty people have died. ”

Yang Rong: "......"

Wu Zhizhan continued: "In addition, there is also the problem of money and food. In order to prevent the plague, Ning Guofu allocated a lot of money and grain. Originally, it was said that the gentry and wealthy families would donate, but it was not enough, or rather, it was far from enough. So they taught everyone to think of a way together, and the counties had to condone the counties and lieutenant governors and urge food everywhere, for which they ...... It's also chickens flying and dogs jumping. On the side of the criminals...... In order to raise 40,000 stone of grain...... It's all the best of the best...... The people are afraid that they will not be able to live. ”

Needles can be heard in the temple.

Wu Zhizhan continued: "Of course, the more terrible problems are not limited to this...... Because of the apportionment, the number of evacuees is very serious, and many of them have either fallen into the grass or gone to other provinces and become homeless. ”

"The treasury of the government has long been empty......

"These days, the criminal ministers have been acting for the tiger, and under the urging of the government officials, they have done countless things that have harmed the people, and they are terrified every day...... Today...... I don't dare to say that I have repented, but I am really afraid of sin, so I have come to ask for sin...... Ten thousand deaths. ”

Wu Zhizhan said goodbye and bowed directly.

There was still silence in the temple.

Only Yang Rong pondered for a moment and said, "How can the treasury be empty?" It stands to reason that this summer grain has just been harvested, and even if it encounters a rodent infestation, there should still be room for it, so why should it be levied? ”

Wu Zhizhan lowered his eyes and said: "Because there is a shortfall, and the deficit is extremely serious, in order to compete with the Taiping Mansion, the government has built a lot of county schools, and it is necessary to implement education, plus ...... Because Jian Gong arrived at Ningguo Mansion, many scholars came with their families, saying that they wanted to defect to Jian Gong. Not to mention the others, there are more than 30 people in the scene alone, these people have to eat and drink, and they have to give advice to the public on weekdays, and they have to entertain in the government and county, these are all money and food. ”

"Then there is the escape, many people, hearing that the Taiping Mansion is rich, so they have gone to the Taiping Mansion, and the ban is endless. Previously, it led to a drop in land prices, and after the fall, the gentry asked the counties to find a way to ban it, so they recruited a large number of people to strictly guard against it, and these people also wanted money and food. ”

"Later, the land price stabilized, but many gentry and village sages still suffered a lot of losses, in order to make up for this loss, they bargained with their friends and the government, saying that how much grain they donated, how much they could hide their own land."

"After this matter is settled, the summer tax in the coming year will inevitably be greatly reduced. In order to ensure that the summer tax in the coming year can be more than this year, so that it can be seen that Gong Jian has made outstanding achievements in Ningguo Mansion, so the counties have already geared up and are ready to be distributed to the heads of ordinary people. ”

When these people heard that they were going to be sent again, they sold their fields one after another, and did not dare to cultivate them anymore, and the fields that were sold were taken over by the gentry and village sages, and turned into hidden fields. This cycle repeats, not to mention anything else, let's just say that in Xuancheng County, the field registered last year was 310,000 mu, but now, the registered field has become 240,000 mu. With so much less land, the summer tax will have to be more than last year's, what should I do? ”

"If you don't do that, there's no way. Because many things in the palace have to ask the gentry and village sages to donate, and when something happens, you have to ask for their heads, if they don't give some money and food, the government will push down the things to do, and nothing can be done. As the magistrate of Xuancheng County, the criminal minister had to convene the gentry and village sages of the county three times a month, and which time was not to ask them to take some money to build roads and bridges, or to repair school houses? If they hide their fields, they will all have to be checked, but I am afraid that in the future, no one will be willing to donate money and food. ”

"And local affairs, involving the whole body, you offended a village sage, they are in the locality, through marriage and friendship, they have long been close to the people of this county, offending one person, that is, offending dozens of hundreds of families. And these dozens or hundreds of families control almost everything in the county. Even the governors in various places are guaranteed by them, and most of the officials and clerks in the county have a good relationship with them, and if they offend any of them, the black yarn hat in the county will be unstable. ”

After Wu Zhizhan finished saying these words in one breath, he sighed heavily, and then continued: "Xia Guan heard that the most popular thing at the moment is to let ordinary people who own some land directly donate land, that is, to put this land in the name of the village sages and gentry without spending a penny. In this way, the gentry and village sages used means to make the land a hidden land, and there was no need to pay taxes. The original yeoman farmer became a tenant farmer, paying a little rent to the gentry and village sages every year, and still cultivating his own land. “

In this case, there are many in Xuancheng, a family surnamed Liu in Xuancheng, without spending a penny, in just half a year, has been donated by 45 households. Got 760 acres of land, and that's just one family. ”

This remark can be regarded as a direct showdown.

And many ministers in the palace did not show surprise.

It's not that they haven't heard of this, don't say it's Ning Guofu, in fact, this situation is also clueless in other places.

Merely...... Everyone tacitly agreed.

Of course, no one expected that the situation in Ning Guofu under the rule of Jian Gong was more serious than other places, and it was already serious to the point of outrageousness.

After all, the other prefects just lie flat, don't do anything, and go with the flow, so they have fewer requests for the village sages and gentry.

But Ning Guofu, who was inaugurated by Jian Gong, wanted to do something and compete with the Taiping Mansion, which deepened his dependence on the gentry and village sages.

The end result is that the harder you try, the more you die.

Yang Rong took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know about these things?"

"Xia Guan doesn't know." Wu Zhizhan replied very simply: "The affairs of the government are not for the lower officials to ask. ”

And at this moment, Zhu Di was finally ready to speak, these words ...... He only listened numbly.

It was only now that he had calmed himself a little.

But at this time, the ministers were no longer calm, and they began to whisper one by one, and the hall was full of buzzing sounds.

It's not that they want to lose their manners, but they are too surprised.

Zhu Di said: "Yao Gong...... He...... He ......"

He didn't say anything, Wu Zhizhan said: "His corpse, if nothing else, should be burned tomorrow morning." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Yang Rong saw that His Majesty was speechless again, so he asked Wu Zhizhan: "It's burned, why is this?" ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "The matter is too big, the government has panicked, and in the end, everyone came up with an idea, this matter can only destroy the corpse." So ......"

Wu Zhizhan then released an even more terrifying news: "They are ready...... All the 'medical households' in Nanling County who were imprisoned were burned clean together. In this way, it can only be regarded as a fire, and this Yao Gong is inside, and if he dies, he can only be regarded as a doctor named Zhang Ye, and as for other doctors, they can be regarded as killing people. ”

Zhu Di's face was miserable.

This Zhu Di is already a murderer, when he went out of the customs to the desert, I don't know how many Tartars he killed, and since then, he has been martyred, and I don't know how many people's blood has been stained.

But Ci is not in charge of the army, and he doesn't care about killing people at all.

However, after hearing this, he felt unbelievable, or rather...... It's like a man's back.

"After the criminal heard about it, he was also shocked, but he didn't dare to show it, but when he returned to the county office, he immediately collected some evidence of the crime, and quickly escaped from Ningguo Mansion.

Wu Zhizhan knew that he had already said what he should have said.

Next...... It doesn't matter what your fate is.

At most, I just lost a head, and I shouldn't have to wipe out the race.

As for the others...... It has nothing to do with him, that's their business.

He bowed to the ground and bowed his head sincerely, "Please punish your majesty for the sin of ten thousand deaths." ”

At this moment, Zhu Di felt that his whole body was fluttering, and he felt that his strength seemed to be hollowed out by something.

He raised his eyes, staring blankly to the left and right.

The ups and downs of this life can be regarded as well-informed.

But this was the first time he felt a sense of horror.

And this terrifying taste was actually emitted by a group of helpless readers.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks...... Someone should be sent to verify the matter immediately...... If it is ......, Yang Rong immediately put forward his own suggestion.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is unbelievable...... Please also ask Your Majesty to take a clear look at it. Hu Guang was also busy.

The other officials were dumbfounded, to be honest...... Some of them couldn't say anything.

Zhang Anshi didn't speak, he still pursed his lips tightly and looked up at Zhu Di.

But no one here noticed that the fist in his sleeve had been clenched tightly, as if he had been trying to suppress something.

At this moment, Zhu Di finally stood up, showing a wry smile, but it was more ugly than crying.

His eyes swept over everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Zhu Gaochi who was not far away: "Prince...... Prince ......"

Zhu Gaochi was already frightened, his impression of Jian Yi has always been very good, but he never expected that things would come to this point.

Hearing Zhu Di's call at this time, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, ......"

Zhu Di said in a deep tone: "You...... Prison country. ”

"Father's ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned for him not to say any more.

Zhu Di immediately said: "Dongchang, Jinyiwei, transfer all the manpower, set off immediately, I want to see ...... The starry night set off with me, accompanied by Yang Rong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and accompanied by Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the military department, and Jin Chun, the secretary of the criminal department, in addition to that...... Metropolitan Inspectorate, Hanlin Courtyard...... Zhu Qing also drove with him. ”

Zhu Di seemed to deliberately say the last sentence: "Without further ado, go immediately." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

saw that Zhu Di had already gone to the underground hall in a hurry, as if he didn't even bother to prepare for his suits.

All of a sudden, everyone was in a hurry.

Just after Zhu Di left the palace, he walked to the position in the hall, and was about to move forward, when a royal historian hurriedly came out of work, stopped Zhu Di, and said, "Your Majesty...... No, not to mention whether this matter is true or not, Your Majesty should not listen to it and believe it, and if there is really a plague in this Ning Guofu, wouldn't it...... Isn't it...... Besides, why does Your Majesty want to make such a big fanfare? The matter ...... It's too sensational, and I think it's ...... I thought it was ...... The three divisions should be ......"

He said eagerly, Zhu Di was already smashing his fist directly towards his face at this time.

Zhu Di is fluttering, but after he made a decision, he seemed to have regained his strength.

This punch can be described as a tiger's wind.

When it comes to the face door, perhaps the strength is too domineering, and it is as fast as the wind, which is not as good as the reaction of this imperial history.

Bang......

Skull shattering......

Half of the face is directly sunken.

Zhu Di has killed people all his life, his strength is extraordinary, and he usually beats people, even if he is angry, he is also restrained.

But today, this punch has no tricks or skills, just such a punch, and the words of this imperial history will come to an abrupt end.

The man fell down with a bang.

When everyone looked at it in amazement, they saw that the man's head was tilted to one side, his face was sunken, and he could no longer distinguish between his eyes and his nose and mouth, but only a distorted face.

Apparently out of breath!

The ministers were in an uproar, and everyone exclaimed.

Zhu Di glanced down at this person, he didn't have any expression on his face, just said, "Who is this person?" ”

No one dared to respond.

Zhu Di's voice was higher-pitched: "Who is this person?" ”

Finally there was a humane: "Your Majesty, this ...... Person...... Wang Zhicheng, the superintendent of Yunnan Province of the Naidu Procuratorate, ......"

Zhu Di said: "Sympathize with him." ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

Zhu Di continued to walk forward, walking in a tiger step, and said in his mouth: "Who has any objections?" ”

Hundreds of officials are nervous.

Zhu Di spit out two words: "It's a trip!" ”

After a short moment of silence, the hundred officials said, "Obey." ”

When Zhu Di was about to walk out of the main hall, he suddenly stood still, turned around, and hooked Wu Zhizhan with his hand: "Er leads the way." ”

Wu Zhizhan listened, and his blood surged up, because of excitement, his eyes widened slightly, and he realized reluctantly...... There is still a chance that he will survive.

Because...... He had a chance to make meritorious contributions.

He was right, so he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said without hesitation: "Obey." ”

If they can live well, who wants to die?

…………

Chapter 2, and ......
