Chapter 301: Blood and Water and Rain (Two in One, Six Thousand Words)

Wang Qiong finally persuaded Peng Ze, because Peng Ze also did not want to see the scene of rivers of blood.

Li Min, the champion of the Yuangong, Li Zhi, who called himself Wuya and was known as Mr. Wuya, these people who were slightly famous in the local literary circle, he summoned them to the yamen to meet in person.

Of course, the author of "Tombstone" is indispensable, a Confucian named Huang Siguo.

Zhejiang Wensheng, there are a lot of various academies, and there are countless lectures and literary meetings on weekdays.

These people are very big, that is, Peng Ze is known for his reputation on weekdays, and if he changes Wang Qiong, who has a bad reputation, he may not be willing to come.

Wang Qiong also knew this, so he didn't come forward.

"Zhuangyuangong, Mr. Li, Mr. Huang......" Peng Ze arched his hand and saw them one by one, "I invite you to come today, it is for the wind and rain in Hangzhou in the past few days, even if the corruption nest in Zhejiang broke out in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, there was no scene of tens of thousands of people gathering in Hangzhou, this time it is like this, I am afraid that the result will be unfavorable to you." ”

"Mr. Jiwu." Li Min came first, he is still a person who has been an official in the end, and he is the champion of the prince, everyone takes him as the leader, and he can't hide and not speak, "The anger of the masses has nothing to do with whether the imperial court is investigating corruption in Zhejiang." Corrupt people, people and gods are angry, the court is destroyed, we will only clap our hands and applaud, how can I listen to Mr. Jiwu's words, as if I am not happy to see it. ”

Peng Ze was stunned, logically, what he said really didn't make sense, this was often mixed in the official mansion, and Wang Qiong's gang led the wrong way.

Li Min also said: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, and everyone praises him when he is the prince. It's just that there are traitors in the court, who first lure His Majesty to walk in private affairs and compete with the people for profit, such as Mei Kejia; Now he has lured His Majesty to open the sea, such as Yang Jiefu. The opening of the sea is the ancestral system, and once the sea ban is opened, the Japanese invaders, what will happen then? Who is in charge of the people of Zhejiang? ”

Peng Ze raised his hand, "Don't talk about competing with the people." Today, the saints spend the money, and the silver raised is mostly used for state affairs. ”

"So...... What about the people below? Li Zhi took the fan, "Hongzhi was corrupt in the seventeenth year, and the reason for this is that the eunuch in the palace was caught by His Royal Highness and embezzled ink and silver. Although this person is dead, how can he be the only one who is corrupt in the palace? Your Majesty opened the sea, and most of the silver obtained was probably going into the pockets of officials at all levels, and in the end, they were fattened, and it was the people of Zhejiang who were poor. What's the benefit? ”

"So, do you think it's not good to open the sea?"

No one dares to take this remark, and of course you can say whatever you want in private.

But no matter how good the relationship is, Peng Ze is an official of the imperial court after all.

There is no reason to discuss national politics in front of him, and if he really wants to say it, he will put Peng Ze in an unrighteous place, do you say that he is telling the truth, or is he shielding?

"Mr. Jiwu, the sea ban is an ancestral system."

There is nothing wrong with that.

Peng Ze stood up, thought for a while, and said: "It's good that you are worried about the country, but far away from the court, there are many things that are not what you think. First, the imperial court wants to open the sea, and the root cause is that the imperial court wants to reinstate. The compound set of military silver taels is to come out of the open sea. The purpose of the re-set is to solve the border troubles, and to solve the border troubles, I do not need to bear huge military pressure, and I don't even have to pay millions of soldiers. This is a national policy drawn up by His Majesty himself, and His Majesty is the monarch of heaven, and no one can induce or change His Majesty's mind. ”

"Two." Peng Zebi made a 'two' gesture, "This official knows that you each have your own opinions, and such a national policy involves a wide range of issues...... In particular, when it comes to whether the ancestral system needs to be changed, this is also a difficult thing to explain clearly in a sentence or two. However, His Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and this official hopes that you will understand that the imperial court has set up a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian in advance, removed the commanders of Zhejiang and Fujian, and the commanders of several important guards have also changed the people of Zhejiang, and they are appointed as the governors of Zhejiang and Fujian or the emperor, what does this mean? It is what you want, and no official can promise you, and even if he does, it is useless. ”

"First of all, your opinion cannot come out of Zhejiang, because Zhongcheng will not ignore the opinion of the governor, and the governor will not ignore the will of His Majesty. In the final analysis, you are talking loudly and talking about loyalty and treachery, and what you are opposing is not Yang Tinghe and Gu Zuo, but what you are opposing is the emperor. Therefore, for your own good, and for the good of Zhejiang, this official advises you all to go home. If you have any opinions, you can go to the top, and Your Majesty didn't severely punish those fierce royal histories, right? But don't gather crowds to fan people's hearts. Remember, remember. ”

After Peng Ze's words were finished, Li Min, Li Zhi and other Confucian scholars fell into silence.

"What does Mr. Jiwu mean, that we people just want to make a living?" Huang Siguo was the first to ask, "We are all for the sake of the country and the world, if Your Majesty still wants to slaughter in this way, then I, Huang Siguo, have to die with relent." But if I want to give up the way in my heart because I am afraid of death, I will never be able to. ”

Peng Ze sighed, he actually expected this.

Like-minded people understand like-minded people.

If one day he threatened him with a knife Peng Ze, he wouldn't frown.

For Huang Siguo, fame is more important than life.

Don't say they don't quite believe that the imperial court would use a butcher's knife like this.

Even if it is about to happen in front of them, it is difficult for them to go back and persuade those thousands of scholars, what to say?

Is this too dangerous? Let's all go home!

Then it's better to die.

And no one here can say anything like that. You said what you said when you were indignant and swallowed mountains and rivers in anger, and now you say what you say to survive.

Basically, even if they really try to persuade them, not only will their reputation be ruined, but things will not change. It would be nice for thousands of scholars to beat them into shameless people.

In a word, in the current situation, Zhejiang's affairs have lost their significance as to whether the opening of the sea is beneficial to the country or harmful to the country. Fierce promotion and resolute opposition have deprived reason of its existence, and each other can no longer hear each other's voices.

So during this time and in this space, there has actually been silence. It seems to be full of noise, but no one can hear who is saying anything, and they don't care if they hear it.

Peng Ze had nothing to say, he could only stand up and bow his hand,

"Everyone, cherish it."

At this point, there is not much to say.

Li Min, Li Zhi, Huang Siguo and others will not talk about it anymore, if the purpose of coming to the Yamen today is for this matter, then in fact, there is no need to come in the first place.

Wait until the gang is gone.

According to the inspector, the officials in the yamen also came to intercede with Peng Ze separately,

About six or seven people, kneeling on the ground looking anxious, "...... Peng Envoy, do you want to send a letter to Your Majesty? According to the report, Jinyiwei will enter the city soon. That Mao Wenyu is an executioner, cutting off a human head in front of everyone in Jiangxi, if he is really allowed to come to Hangzhou City in this situation, then Hangzhou will become a purgatory on earth! ”

In fact, they don't need to ask Peng Ze, Peng Ze himself is also thinking of a way, and he is also anxious, "A few of you, after all, you have to take care of your own family first, but you don't want the people from the government to go to the street to tear down the official mansion!" I'm going to go to Zhongcheng now, hoping that he can delay some of Jinyiwei's actions. ”

"Good!"

For Wang Qiong, Peng Ze doesn't have to come.

The subordinate officials in the governor's yamen, the political envoys, the deputy envoys, the political officials, and the magistrates and judges of the prefects in various places either pleaded with him in person, or wrote something to intercede.

In the final analysis, Mao language cannot be allowed to cut off the seeds of reading in Zhejiang.

But Wang Qiong ignored everything, he was not Peng Jiwu's elm head, Jinyiwei was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the governor of Jiangxi was arrested, what kind of excitement did he, the governor of Zhejiang, go to join in?

If you really want to do that, you might as well find a rope and tie yourself up.

Therefore, he has already made up his mind to pay attention to the fact that the governor's yamen and the political envoy's yamen do not say a word or a single person, they are just bystanders. Whoever goes up to the top is responsible for himself.

Peng Ze spent a long time talking to him, and what he got was still this result.

In the end, Peng Ze threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave,

Wang Qiong reminded him of his back, "Brother Peng Ze, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, even if it is out of friendship with colleagues, I still have to say a word." You'd better be like me, sit here these days, don't listen, don't watch, don't talk, and after the incident, you'll be safe and sound. Otherwise, it is the envoy of Zhejiang, and it is not a big official in the eyes of the imperial court. Moths to the fire, why bother? ”

Peng Ze clenched his fists, turned around and said, "The gentleman has something to do and something not to do!" ”

"You say I'm a villain. Then I ask you a word. Wang Qiong smiled, her index finger and middle finger together, and the gesture was like painting, "This...... Do you know that the land prices in Suzhou and Songjiang are not even half of the land prices in Shandong and Henan? ”

Peng Ze's face was blank.

"You don't know." Wang Qiong smiled, "It stands to reason that the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River has a yield of nearly two stones per mu, and a ripe field can yield three stones per mu." Why is land so cheap? It is because the taxes of Su, Song, Chang and Jia are extremely heavy. It is often more than twice as high as elsewhere. ”

This was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What does this have to do with today's events?"

"Look. Don't be in a hurry. Hear me out. Wang Qiong continued to tell him, "For Xiaomin, there is no way to plant whatever land you get. But for a person who has a lot of money in hand, he can buy the fields of Su and Song at a lower price. And according to the policy of the imperial court......"

“…… The gentry are exempt. ”

Peng Ze's heart shook slightly.

"Opening the sea is an ancestral system, and the gentry are also exempted. Which one do you say is easy to move? ”

To put it bluntly, the policy of the imperial court led to the cheap of good land here, and according to the preferential exemption of the gentry, these lands did not pay grain.

Therefore, Nanzhili and Zhejiang, the land south of the Yangtze River, are rich. The land is full of people who have good land and do not have to pay taxes.

"But the imperial court will not deliberately ...... for this"

Wang Qiong shook her head, this guy still didn't understand, "The court won't do it deliberately." But Zhejiang itself gave the opportunity, what do you say the imperial court will do? ”

……

On the 6th day of the first month of November, Jin Yiwei commanded Mao to transfer the language into Hangzhou.

In the Zhejiang official mansion, only the town guard eunuch Gu Dayong picked him up.

Gu Dayong has been hiding for a long time these days, and when he sees Mao Wen, he sees his relatives, and he is very close when he comes forward, "My deputy envoy, you can be regarded as here!" ”

Mao Wenyu threw down the reins and entered the house, and gave a salute first, "Tell my father-in-law to wait." There are some things I've heard about along the way. ”

Gu Dayong was also a little curious, "It is said that the Poyang Zhan clan has confessed several clans in Zhejiang, and our family thought that you went there to arrest people first." How did you come to Hangzhou so quickly? ”

Mao Yuyu smiled, "If nothing happened in Hangzhou, it would have been planned like that." But Hangzhou is panicking, I am no longer illiterate, and I also know the truth that the thief captures the king first. As for those people, if they are not in a hurry, even if they can run away, they will not be able to run to the ground. ”

Indeed, if you don't clean up these people, you will arrest those clans, and there will still be a lot of chatter here, so Mao Wenyu thought about it and went straight to Hangzhou.

"Father-in-law, who wrote this "Tombstone Record"?"

Gu Dayong knew, "Huang Si has thought about it. His ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang, when he was young, he was very intelligent, it is said that he was able to recite the "University" at the age of six or seven Tianshun eight years Jiashenke Jinshi and the first, after becoming an official, because he was not used to seeing his boss, so he repeatedly resisted, resigned and returned to his hometown during the Chenghua period, and often gathered apprentices to lecture over the years, which was quite influential. ”

"Can you kill?" Having said all this, Mao Yuyu cares about this.

Gu Dayong was a little speechless, but this question went straight to the core, "Kill...... Who can't kill Jinyiwei and Dongchang? However, our family thinks that if we want to be safer, we will catch it and bring it to Jingshi, so that Your Majesty can make a decision. Your Majesty is angry with these people, and just giving a head can't relieve it. ”

It's mainly these Taishan Beidou-like characters who killed them inexplicably...... It doesn't seem quite right.

"If you can't kill it, you can fight it, right?" Mao Yuyu said with a smile while drinking tea: "Like these people, their mouths are always unclean, and it is difficult not to beat him up if they are in a hurry." ”

Gu Dayong groaned slightly, "It shouldn't matter if you hit a dozen." ”

"Then I have a number in my heart. My father-in-law should not go out these days. Mao Wenwen also drank the tea, and the person he wanted to catch the most also asked, so he didn't stay here, he stuck the scimitar in his waist, stood up and wanted to leave.

It's not a coincidence to say, after the afternoon, the sky changed a little, and it was a little cold, and it rained lightly again.

The scenery of Jiangnan is more tranquil in the rain, and the children playing on the street corners are chased and pulled back into the house by their mothers, and one wooden door after another is violently shut. It's the frozen dogs, all of whom fled after holding a piece of blackened steamed buns.

Jin Yiwei is here.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually dominated the streets, and hundreds of people splashed one by one.

"Jin Yiwei!"

"Don't look at it!"

A female and boy voice came from the second floor, followed by a 'snap' and the windows were closed.

When Mao Wenyu was doing things, there were few people like today, and they were quiet. In this quietness, it is easy for people to face their own hearts.

Ask questions that are pretentious, but everybody's going to ask.

For example, does he regret coming to this day?

Such a rainy day also reminded him of his childhood.

When he was a child, his mother took him to shelter from the wind and rain. At that time, once he ran into the official army, his mother was also busy pulling him away, and she didn't let him look at it, as if she would lose her life.

Occasionally, when he is not killing, he will also think that if only his mother was still here, at least he has the ability to make her no longer suffer from the wind and rain today.

Syllable!

On the rainy street, on the right-hand side of the building, there was a scholar-like person who threw an egg down, and the egg hit Mao Wenwen's horse, and the yolk quickly disappeared under the rain.

"Great traitor!

The man pointed at them and cursed.

When a group of people looked up, they found that there were four or five people, all of whom were wearing long robes and looking indignant.

'Herod,' the horse lifted its front hooves, and the beast seemed to be angry.

"Obstruct the Brocade Guard, die."

Mao Yu said that word without the slightest emotion.

The brocade guard beside him got the order, and immediately dismounted and kicked the door.

The people above were in a hurry, "Traitor! Do you think we are people who are afraid of death? ”

Mao Wenyu didn't hear what these people were saying, he was wiping the rain on his face, and he thought that even though his mother was no longer there, there was still a woman named Xu Xueyun waiting for him in Jingshi.

He must go back, victoriously.

Throwing eggs, looking at the costumes, should be a lifting person, he can do such a thing at this time, he should also be a person who is not afraid of death, otherwise his brain will be like this.

So when the man is brought down, he is still barking,

The Jinyi guards who did it looked at Mao Yu as if he was stunned, but according to the rules, as long as there were no other orders, they could not stop without authorization. So several people looked at each other and confirmed that their leader really didn't want to speak, so their hearts were ruthless,

"Wait."

At the last pass, Mao Yu spoke, and he looked down, and there were five faces that were actually still immature.

"Why stop? Do it?! "This man has a mustache, and he is easy to recognize, the one who keeps talking.

"Good. Fulfill you. Mao Yu motioned to the brocade guard who held him down.

Then the steel knife swirled around his neck, and the rain began to mix with blood and flow down the streets.

"Traitor!" The remaining four people were shocked when they saw that they really killed people, "We are all meritorious and famous people, you killed people on the street, do you know the consequences in the future?" ”

Mao Yu's expression was flat, "Who knows, where does Huang Siguo live?" ”

"Do you still want to kill Mr. Huang?!" The young man's expression was as if he had never heard such an outrageous thing in his life.

"Tell me you're alive. The next sentence is not yet the address, you also die. ”

"You think ......"

Mao Yuyu directly interrupted him, "Kill." ”

Burst!

The blade was sharp, and it was already stained with blood at this time.

The rest were three young men in blue robes, and two friends died in front of them in a row, which should have been something they had never thought about in their lives.

Mao Wenwen's gaze shifted slightly to the right, staring at the next person.

This person, with big eyes, double eyelids, and white and tender skin, was actually born beautiful, but his lips trembled, and his face was bloodless, so he lost a lot of points.

"You should be able to say, right?"

"Huang ...... Mr. Huang ......"

"Brother Yu!" The one among the three shouted, "Taishi Gong said, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao!" It's all this time, do you want to be the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and steals life from righteousness? ”

Probably fooled like this, the young man closed his eyes tightly and shouted, "I don't know! ”

Mao Yu didn't speak, and waved his gestures.

Burst!

And so another corpse.

Just now, the man roared at Mao Wen frantically, "Traitor! You will not die well. ”

Mao Wenwen dismounted and wiped his neck with a knife, and then put the blood-stained blade on the shoulder of the last person, "Think about it later." This may be the last word of your life. ”

Four people died in a row, this is the real killing god.

The person who holds the sage book in the study on weekdays has never seen such a scene, he is the boss of the child, and after a few rough gasps, he is so frightened and faints!

Not only that, but around his buttocks, a patch of yellow seeped into the originally clear rainwater.

Mao Wenwen grinned and turned his head to look at his subordinates, "Brothers, I often say don't think that a scholar is amazing. You see, that's what it is. ”

"Hahaha. Boss, do you want to kill him or not? ”

Mao language actually doesn't matter, "What do you think?" ”

"Keep people under the knife!"

This high-pitched voice came from another direction, Mao Wenyu and the others turned their heads to look, and saw an old man holding a paper umbrella walking step by step in the rain.

"Old man, Huang Siguo!"

Wow.

The brocade guards were divided into two teams, advancing on the left and right flanks respectively, and then encircled them, and even drew their steel knives.

But the old man's face did not change, and he approached step by step.

After stopping his steps, he glanced down at the corpse on the ground, and the anger in his eyes was clearly visible, "Deputy Envoy Mao, what is their crime in letting you commit murder in the street?" ”

Mao Wenyu put away the knife, in fact, he was used to killing people, he was not very angry at all, and his emotions had always been very calm, "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, didn't you scholars say this?" He insulted me by calling me a traitor. I wanted to insult him too, but in order to respect the opinion of you readers, I changed the insult to beheading. ”

"It's dark, it's dark!" Such an unreasonable response made Huang Siguo's heart chill, "Is it really the will of the Son of Heaven that you are doing this?" The Son of Heaven told you to kill scholars in Zhejiang?! ”

Mao's language experience is also rich, "You don't give me a set." You just said that "Tombstone" was written by you? ”

"So what?"

"No, confusing people's minds and fanning the scholars against the imperial court and state policy, this is your crime. And I, who are in charge of the Beizhen Mansion, will take you to prison here today! ”

"Do you think the old man will be afraid?"

"I don't care if you're afraid or not. It's boring for me whether you're afraid or not. Mao Wenyu didn't care, he got back on the horse, "Catch it." Next. ”

"Boss, what about this scaresome pee?"

Mao Wenyu leaned to the right and looked down, "I'm scared, I guess I won't dare to resist the court in the future, since I don't resist, then leave him." ”

In fact, this behavior also told everyone that Jinyiwei and Dongchang came to Zhejiang for one thing.

Those who follow the national policy of the imperial court live, and those who do not obey die.

"Who's next?"

"Li Min."

"Li Min of the Li clan in Qiantang?"

"Yes."

On the other side,

According to the inspector, Peng Ze was really uneasy, and he couldn't help but roar at Wang Qiong, "Zhongcheng! Mao Wenyu has already killed people in Hangzhou, if he doesn't care anymore, Hangzhou doesn't know how many people will die! ”

"The Qiantang Li family's sea trade smuggled and disobeyed the holy decree. Even when they arrived in Jingshi, His Majesty regarded them like this. If you want to save, how to save? Does he have a reason to live? Do you tell Your Majesty that they are ...... scholars? ”

Wang Qiong shook her head weakly.

He's not a pervert, and he certainly doesn't want to see these people die like that. He would prefer that things in Zhejiang could go a little smoother.

But what is the will of the Son of Heaven?

The two emperors Taizu and Taizong killed them fiercely back then, maybe it was too long, and people forgot that the emperor could do it to this extent.

"There was news from the capital, and the Marquis of Wuding asked His Majesty to reprimand him angrily, and he was scared and sick. Brother Peng Ze, do you know what Your Majesty said scared the Marquis of Wuding? His Majesty said that if you are dissatisfied with Kaihai and hate Yang Jiefu and these people, you can do what Emperor Taizong did at the beginning, or go home and endure it. ”

What did Emperor Taizong do back then...... Peng Ze is a scholar, of course, he knows.

"After all, Your Majesty has already made up your mind, and no matter how many people die, you can't change it."

---

Why do you still say that the update is slow......
