The Son of Heaven stopped in Huai'an for several days, because he was angry that day, and in the absence of Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei, there was no minister who really had enough weight to catch this anger.

A few days later, the Fengyang Governor Yamen raised the case hall, and the trial was not a specific case, but the four words of bullying.

Since Song Heng responded in front of Zhu Houzhao, he couldn't do nothing.

The drum of grievances was wiped clean, and two tall yamen guards were guarded, and the notice on the wall next to it was also posted, and the people passing by listened to Mr. Yi read:

I heard that in the countryside, the overlord is rampant, and the harm is very serious. The generations are bullying the good and doing everything they can to the powerful, or with their wealth, or with their power, or with their strength, or with the masses, while the poor and weak, once they are victimized, have no peace in their lives, and they are afraid of their coercion, and they are walking on thin ice. The harm of the generations, like a flood of beasts, ravaged the countryside, and the people complained and cried......

……

"Mr. Liu, what does this mean?"

"It means...... The emperor ordered that the strongmen and wicked people in the township should be rectified. ”

"How to remediate?"

"Well, the governor's yamen has opened, and the drum of grievances is here."

……

"Brother Chen, why do you think this is happening?"

The scholar-like man shook his fan and said: "The Son of Heaven wants to be prosperous in civil governance, and this is only one of the links." ”

"I know this below. I heard that the Son of Heaven sent someone to visit secretly, and found that even Shandong had bandits, and it was estimated that after leaving Shandong, there would be more such things. Hence this verse. ”

This guy is more logical, and others believe that there may be relatives who are officials in the family and know some inside stories!

……

Now it is Song Heng who is nervous, promise the emperor, the upper lip touches the lower lip, simple. But after the Son of Heaven was angry, he pointed the finger at those who were in the township, which was different.

In addition, Gu Renyi's letter to Liu Jian had already been written, and he was now trying to persuade the second governor, who pointed to the drum of grievances outside in the yamen, "Song Zhongcheng, Your Majesty has made it clear that the country gentry have preferential treatment from the imperial court on the one hand, and oppress the local people on the other hand. This anger does not come out of nowhere. The common people have been bullied and scared, and they are used to it, and it is useless for you to only polish the drum at the door, you must really catch a few people, and it is necessary to arrest those who can't move on weekdays, so that it can be effective. ”

Feudal society itself was a hierarchical society. In this hierarchical society, it is definitely not difficult to find a few children with bad deeds. But no matter what, it's always stressful to do.

"Brother Yishan don't worry, since I have promised Your Majesty, I will definitely do it. Otherwise, how can you give an account to Your Majesty? ”

Gu Renyi's heart was a little relieved, fortunately, there was an emperor pressing on it, otherwise the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue would allow the people to catch up with this kind of good thing.

"It's just ......"

"What? Song Zhongcheng has concerns? ”

"Brother Yishan also knows that the Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, and in the final analysis, there is only one Shandong. Your Majesty is now in a rage, and really sends the affairs of the countryside to the present......"

The emperor has been on the throne for a long time, and his authority has been growing day by day.

The people below are afraid!

It turns out that the Son of Heaven is not angry, so they are fifty percent, and there is basically no problem. But with the current posture, if this thing can't be done more than eighty percent, it will definitely not be able to pass this hurdle.

But if you really do it with this kind of strength, when the time comes, if you send it to the emperor to see, isn't it full of lawlessness committed by so-and-so and so-and-so? There are fewer in Shandong, but it doesn't mean that there are fewer here!

Wouldn't that make the emperor even angrier when he saw it?

And Gu Renyi only said one sentence, "If you are really afraid, you shouldn't ask this question." ”

Song Heng understood, he was just hypocritical, and soon made up his mind, "If it is death horizontally and vertically, it is not as heroic as death!" ”

"Good!"

……

……

Zhu Houzhao summoned Yang Shen back.

Yang Shen is too talented, but in history, he has not shown particularly amazing talent as an official, so he is currently using it by his side.

"In the past few days, everyone who wants to see me has been stopped by me. Outside, including the local people in Huai'an, what do they think of the Son of Heaven's anger? ”

The Emperor and Yang Shen sat opposite each other, both young and dressed in satin.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao does not have Yang Shen's talent, but as a monarch, his every move is naturally relaxed, and Yang Shen is a little cramped.

"Weichen only knows that You Dongjia has been frightened for two nights."

The emperor's eyes rolled slightly, "I'm not rushing at her." ”

Yang Shen didn't dare to directly ask the emperor who he was aiming at, it was too rude.

"What Your Majesty said is, but Your Majesty Tianwei, how can she not be afraid of a people's daughter?"

"What about the others, what do they say?"

"Wechen didn't dare to hide it, and I did ask Wechen about it in the past few days, but how could the Sacred Heart be speculated by the minister. And from the perspective of the ministers, there are not a few people who are worried outside, especially the local officials. ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky with his eyes, looking unconcerned.

At this time, You Di came in again and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao ask to see you." ”

"Nope. Let them go back. ”

Forehead......

You Ji looked at Yang Shen in embarrassment, but the latter didn't give him any help.

Some of them who are slaves and maids can't understand the emperor's temper, what a big deal, even the cabinet bachelor is gone.

The key has not been seen, Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe have no way to say anything to the emperor, but they can force him, a eunuch, to death.

"Your Majesty......" Yang Shen also considered it like this, he felt that it would not be so.

But as soon as he spoke, Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand, "There is no need to say anything to plead." I have my own reasons for doing things; I was angry, and it made sense. When I left Beijing, I thought I was here to play, right? Oh, I think so. But it depends on the faces of these people!

In the past few years, there has been no one in the government and the opposition who has not worked hard. Don't talk about me, and don't talk about others. Look at your own father, how much gray is his hair? It's not easy. But in the end, the common people make the least profits, and they have to be bullied all year round. I'm worried, this problem is not easy to solve, and I'm also cold, many of them are people who are exempted from the court. ”

From preferential treatment to preferential treatment,

The difference in the word seems to point to something.

Yang Shen said: "Weichen understands that Your Majesty is not angry with the elder of Wang Ge, nor is he angry with any of the ministers accompanying him. Your Majesty is angry with this world, and is popular with the people. However, what Weichen didn't understand was that since he wasn't angry with them, why didn't he see the ministers of the court again? ”

"Country bullies and big clans often oppress people with the words wealth and power." The emperor sighed deeply, his brows furrowed, "With cultivation, those wealth and power are all given to them by me." I am the last sinner. ”

No matter how close Yang Shen was with the emperor, he didn't dare to accept this kind of words, he knelt on the ground with You Ji, "Your Majesty has been working hard all night and night to manage the country's politics, and in the past ten years, the people have been safe and secure, the peace and prosperity have overflowed, the government and the opposition have celebrated together, and the ministers and workers all over the world have praised the emperor's benevolence." However, everyone has a place to live and eat, and their politics cannot be obtained overnight, and Your Majesty does not have to be arrogant and complain about himself. ”

"I've heard these words a thousand times. Anyway, I don't see them. Go out and tell them, tell them not to kneel here every day, for I will call them if something happens. ”

You Ji had no choice but to repeat the original words to the two scholars.

What about Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe?

As soon as they left, Gu Zuo also came, but when they saw their faces, they understood everything.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? In the past, he was angry, and he didn't get to the point of isolating his courtiers. ”

Yang Ting breathed a sigh of relief, it is indeed abnormal for the Son of Heaven to be like this, but if you think about it carefully, it is not without a trace, before he can speak, Wang Bing has already said it first.

"Do you remember how this happened?"

Yang Tinghe nodded, "Xiaguan and Ge Lao want to go together, and the bell must be tied to the bell." ”

"Governor Fengyang?" Gu Zuo also thought of it.

Yes, the matter that the emperor was angry about, only Song Heng, the governor of Fengyang, could give the emperor an explanation.

In this case, the three of them can't do anything. Now that the Son of Heaven is putting on this face, what else can they do except to suppress Song Heng?

"Let's go, let's go to the governor's yamen and have a look."
