Due to the forcible expropriation and plundering of Zhu Mian's father and son, all the tributes were taken from the common people, and not even a single hair was paid. If there is a stone or a tree in the house of a commoner that is worth playing, he will break into the house with a soldier with a big waist and a round waist, mark it with a yellow seal, and not take it away immediately, but let the owner of the house take good care of it, and the slightest negligence will be convicted of great disrespect. When it is time to ship, they will destroy the houses, break down the walls, and get out the tribute. Someone is unfortunate enough to have something more bizarre, and everyone will say that it is a bad thing, and it is too much to destroy. The people involved in this matter, the middle-level families all went bankrupt, and even sold their children to supply the government's demands. Even if the "treasure" is in an unpredictable place in the rivers and lakes, it is necessary to do everything possible to get it out before stopping.

Once got a piece of "Taihu Lake Stone", as high as four zhang, loaded with huge ships, serving thousands of people, passing through the prefectures and counties, sometimes to demolish the water gate, destroy the bridge, dig the city wall to pass. After being transported to the capital, the emperor was unknowingly deceived in advance, and gave this boulder the name "Shenyun Zhaogong Stone". Along the way, they intercepted the grain and salary bills that were transported to the capital, collected all kinds of merchant ships, took out the tribute items and put them on these ships, and ordered them to be carried, and the people who supported the ships and helmed the rudder also relied on their might, and greed ran rampant, invading the prefectures and counties, and the people on the road looked at each other with their eyes and did not dare to say a word. It is not enough for all the soldiers under the command of the fourth command of the Guangji Army to use to pull fiber.

In order to loot good things and be favored, Zhu Mian and others gathered Xu Zhu, Ying Andao, Wang Zhonghong and others to sniff everywhere like mad dogs, as long as they heard that there were strange stones and trees in someone's house, they would not hesitate to break the house and destroy the wall, practice the field and destroy the tomb, and they would also get it back. The transportation fee is borne by the people, and Ding Fu is requisitioned from the people, regardless of whether you farm or not. At that time, there was an ancient tree planted in Huating in the Tang Dynasty, which was favored by Zhu Mian, because the branches were too big, there was no way to pass the inland bridge, so he ordered to build a big ship for shipping, but in the event of wind and waves, "the boat and the people were gone", probably not salvaged so far.

For the house, Zhu Mian took a fancy to the Sun Lao Bridge in Suzhou City, and even pretended to be a holy decree, all the land and houses around the east and west of the bridge must be bought as a reward from the imperial court, a total of hundreds of families, Zhu Mian limited them to move out within five days, and the state officials cooperated with the urging to drive out the local people, and the residents lamented and cried along the way. Zhu Mian then built the Shenxiao Palace, which was dedicated to the statue of Emperor Qinghua, and the officials of the superintendent and Dayi had to go to the palace to bow down at the beginning of the month and the half of the month. Zhu Mian ordered the guards to come, and the officials immediately begged to see him, and then handed over the name card to see Zhu Mian. Zhu Mian's faction is bigger than the general capital of the prince of Beijing.

Zhu Mian also took the opportunity to expand his old house, named "Tongyuan", the southeast folk have always been called Zhu Jiayuan, the scale of luxury, the crown for a while. Zhu's home is full of strange stones, every time the spring flowers bloom, the Zhu family allows the women and children in the city to come to visit the garden, every time there is a lost person who returns late, the Zhu family will take out wine and food to warmly entertain, as if it was a good family who pity the poor and the weak again. However, the superficial accumulation of goodness could not hide the fact that when you and others were looting money and building famous gardens, they bullied their neighbors and poisoned the people, and the people's resentment boiled for a while.

The local governor, Zhao Lin, built thirty-six sluices to build something that could not have succeeded, just as the weather was extremely cold, and the number of people who died in the service piled up. Zhao Lin was bent on currying favor with Zhu Mian, and his government was even more harsh and tyrannical, and the people of Wu and Yue were overwhelmed. Lu Zongyuan, the governor of Huizhou, used all the money of the government to bribe Zhu Mian, and Zhu Mian promoted him to be a shipping envoy, openly searching for the people. The garden pool of the Zhu family can be compared with the palace, and the costumes are used to transgress the rank and compare the emperor. Under the pretext of pulling boats, he recruited thousands of soldiers to protect himself. Zhu Mian's son Zhu Ruxian and others summoned the state and county bureaucrats to command and act unscrupulously, but the bureaucrats actually ran around one by one to obey orders, harming the state and county for 20 years.

The Huashigang movement lasted for more than 20 years, and later, not only the stone of Taihu Lake, the bamboo of Zhejiang, but also the lychee of Fujian and the coconut fruit of Hainan; and even the strange flowers and fruits of Liangguang and Sichuan, all of which are searched. In order to ensure the transportation of Huashigang, even the grain transportation of the Beijing division to the northwest border had to make way, and the cao ships and many merchant ships were forcibly requisitioned. The whole country spent millions of laborers. As a result, Zhu Mian became a big bureaucrat and a big landowner with private armed forces in Suzhou. According to records, Zhu Mian's pastoral land in Wu County, Suzhou, at that time, accounted for almost half of the whole county at that time, and it was all fertile countryside. What is usually eaten is at the same level as the prince, the gold and silver utensils can be seen everywhere in the house, there are ten huge granges, 300,000 acres of fertile land, more than 100,000 stones of annual rent, and the family business is tens of millions of yuan, and the various taxes in the country in the Great Song Dynasty are only more than 100 million yuan a year. And most of this was done without the knowledge of the imperial court and Cai Jing.

The uprising in the southeast was directly triggered by Zhu Mian's endless forcible seizure of the people, Fang La and others quickly gathered millions of people in a short period of time under the name of punishment, which fully shows how deep Zhu Mian's harm in the southern Huashigang, the common people are very kind, who is willing to risk killing their heads to revolt unless they have to. They were all forced by Zhu Mian's father and son, and there was really no way out, anyway, there was no way to survive left and right, so it was better to fight hard. Later, Tong Guan came out of the army to quell the rebellion, Tong Guan witnessed the poison of the southern Huashi Gang, so he truthfully stated to the emperor and the old man, the old man was deeply surprised, and then issued an edict to cancel all the Huashi Gang projects.

I don't know that Zhu Mian, who has completely lost his humanity, hooked up with Wang Hao, and under Wang Hao's rhetoric, the old man was deceived again, and restarted Huashigang, and this move offended Tong Guan and Cai Jing and others at the same time. Because Zhu Mian and Wang Huang were in collusion, they were even more emboldened to poison the people in Jiangnan, causing the people in the south to resent the court and the emperor for not believing their words, and at the same time carrying the black pot for both of them at the same time.

At this time, Zhu Mian's heart is also mixed, the six gods have no master, I can't imagine that the change of the imperial court is so fast, for his own crimes, Zhu Mian is the most clear, if this is exposed and poked out, it is estimated that his head is not guaranteed, and it is possible to exterminate the nine clans, then the officialdom in Jiangnan will definitely be bloody again. At this moment, Zhu Mian is really in a dilemma, and following Wang Hao has completely offended Tong Guan and Cai Jing at the beginning. Seeing that the current thigh is also likely to fall out of favor, he rethought it in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Bangchang said: Since Prime Minister Wang has this concern, why not mention it in the court? As important ministers of the imperial court, we must take the affairs of the court as our own responsibility, since there are still many unclear points in this holy southern tour, everyone should mention it at that time. In fact, even Zhang Bangchang himself didn't believe his own words, looking at the emperor's attitude, everyone acquiesced to the reality, who would dare to make the emperor unhappy and find himself unlucky, but this attitude was still expressed, in order to show his brightness and selfless excellence.

Cai Mao just smiled on the side, they knew and understood their respective minds, those who could sit in this position were human spirits, although he offended Cai Jing, he was forced to stand with Prime Minister Wang Huang, but he was still innocent, at least in terms of money, he did not get on Wang Huang and Zhu Mian's thief ship, after all, he was also born in a family of important ministers, this bottom line and principle are still there, at this time, he also hahaha: As courtiers, no matter what decision the emperor makes, we should cooperate. Now to guess the intentions of the saints, I am afraid that this is too much. That is to say, you two don't have to guess and guess, anyway, I'm not afraid of shadows, your tail has nothing to do with me, I'm very simple, how did the emperor decide, I support it, I'll do it. It's not like you did so many unsightly things behind the emperor's back. Now it's okay, I'm completely dumbfounded. It's not good, you deserve to be self-inflicted.

Wang Hao also lost his former demeanor at this time, and said with a helpless smile: What Lord Cai said is very true, how the holy will determines how we cooperate. I'm just worried that the Holy Driver's southern tour is too hasty, the time is too tight, and everything has not been properly arranged, for fear that it will affect the normal operation of the imperial court's government affairs. For Wang Huang's reason that is not a reason, even Zhu Mian began to despise it, and Wang Huang was already out of order in his heart, and it is estimated that he has no idea at all, and this thigh seems to be completely finished, so he hurriedly thought of another way, so he also continued: If the emperor travels south, I still have some family business in the south, and then I will do a good job of receiving the emperor at the front station, I don't know what you adults want to instruct the officials.

When Wang Hao saw Zhu Mian say this, he also saw that this guy's confidence had been shaken, and a fool could see that the emperor had gone to Jiangnan, and you Zhu Mian's little would have to be shaken out sooner or later, could the emperor still spare you? It is estimated that when the emperor travels south, it will be the countdown to your Zhu Mian's life. Zhang Bangchang also glanced at Zhu Mian and said impatiently: The emperor is on his southern tour, and all the expenses are naturally allocated by the national treasury, and there are also states, prefectures, and counties that pass through various places, and it seems that Zhu Daren's money and materials are not needed at present.

Zhu Mian was instantly killed by everyone's eyes, and he also smiled very boringly to hide his embarrassing expression. Cai Mao also felt at this time that Prime Minister Wang Huang estimated that his political life was over, and he should have a clear relationship with the guy in front of him as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to say it by then, so he stood up and said: Everyone, the old man suddenly felt unwell, so he took his leave, if you have other important matters, we will discuss it another day.

Seeing this, Wang Hao had no choice but to say helplessly: Then let's stop here today. Go back and rest early. Cai Mao and Zhang Bangchang said goodbye and left, and at this time, Zhu Mian seemed to have something to say, but he was also about to stop, so he shook his head helplessly and said: Then Lord Wang, the lower officials have also left, you take care of your health. Wang Hao nodded helplessly, and watched Zhu Mian get up and salute away. At this time, Wang Hao fell into deep contemplation, it was really a wrong step and a wrong step, he was full of confidence to put the bet on the third son of the emperor, but now it is good, not to mention the chicken feathers, the current state is also the time for the relatives to rebel. Thinking of this, I really want to give myself a few slaps in the face, I have nothing to do alone, but my family and clan are afraid that they will be affected by this, and he has always been confident at this time except sighing There is no other way for the time being, at this moment the brain cells in his brain are rapidly consuming, at this time should he find the prince or the emperor, maybe things will have to take a turn, find the emperor, I can only ask the emperor to let him go to Jiangnan, but once he arrives in Jiangnan, Zhu Mian's broken matter will definitely be known by the emperor, and he will definitely lie down and return to Beijing at that time, Looking for the prince is enough, if the prince holds a grudge, it will be tantamount to throwing himself into the net, and he can't do it left or right. Obviously, I felt that my heart was fragile at the moment, and the six gods had no master, so in the end, I simply didn't want to, I rested first, and then made a difficult decision after looking at the situation in the court in the past few days. Thinking of this, he got up slowly and walked towards his bedroom.
