Like Liu Jian, Li Dongyang's governor of Yingtian, Zhu Houzhao has not moved for so many years.

He himself is the core figure of the Chaling poetry school, and the land south of the Yangtze River is a place where the literary style is flourishing, and he has been like a fish in water in the south of the Yangtze River over the years.

There have been remarkable achievements in governing government, learning, and people.

Of course, this is an evaluation in the circle of readers, and the actual social status quo and underlying logic do not depend much on him Li Dongyang.

Because of the promotion of sweet potatoes and the booming trade, whoever is in charge of Jiangnan at this time will not be able to achieve bad political results, as long as they do not toss the people.

But then again, why didn't the emperor want to pick this kind of 'fruit' and give it to Li Dongyang?

In addition to the fame he had earned in the past, the main reason was that the emperor trusted him.

All in all, Li Dongyang's status in Jiangnan is now extremely prosperous, and he is hanging high as an iconic symbol like the great Confucianism of the world. There are not many scholars who bow their heads and bow under his literary position.

Therefore, of course, Zhu Houzhao should pay attention to this letter, the higher Li Dongyang's status in the literary world, as long as he is treated a little favorably as an emperor, it will be the heart of all people.

There is no need to be polite about this kind of naked thing.

So much so that Wang Bing and Song Heng were not easy to express any resentment when they received the will and knew the reason, it was not that the emperor suddenly wanted to force them to death, but that they were in a hurry and collided together.

Whether it's putting things here aside, or ignoring the seriously ill Li Dongyang first. No one has the courage to let the emperor do this kind of trade-off.

It's still the same sentence, it's difficult, and it can only be difficult.

However, the words of the celebrant You Gonggong are very interesting, what does it mean to 'come up with something to convince the emperor', and how can you convince the emperor?

At this time, he can see the role of the elder in 'stabilizing the morale of the army', he pulled Yang Tinghe aside, and said quite resolutely: "By now, Your Majesty's mind should also be clear, and Your Majesty wants to expose these ugly things." ”

Yang Tinghe was puzzled but also nodded, "Your Majesty...... It's always going to be unexpected. I just don't understand, why is this the case? ”

Wang Bing thought of something, but he wasn't sure.

Why is this so...... The old man thought about it carefully, but ...... It's really unreasonable. ”

Yang Tinghe didn't let it go, "Since the elder has already gained, it's better to talk about it." ”

Wang Bing raised a hand behind his back, he frowned and stared into the distance, and then slowly said, "Jiefu, do you think, the emperor...... It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the preferential exemption, could it be that he wants the gentry to pay food like the common people? ”

Yang Tinghe was shocked in his heart, "Why is this so? ”

"Because Your Majesty said that the silver in the Daming Tai warehouse was put together by the common people little by little, since Your Majesty said it, you are not satisfied with it."

"You can exempt the scholars from servitude, this is the ...... Emperor Taizu," Yang Tinghe stopped talking about it halfway through.

What is the weather of Emperor Zhengde?

I can't wait to start my own sect.

Where did you care about the old rules?

"If it is according to what Elder Ge said, then the number is secondary."

"Not really, quantity is also important. This is what His Majesty wants. ”

After Wang Bing finished speaking, he was actually a little entangled, because he was not completely sure, but he was an elder, and he needed him to make an idea here. If it can't be completed, will it be a problem for the Son of Heaven to get up and drive two days later, so it will have to be?

After thinking about it, Wang Bing made up his mind, he clenched his fists and slammed into the void, "Let's do it." What His Majesty wants is the reputation of the gentry and the big families. So quantity is not secondary, but crucial. ”

"But there are only two days left, how can we make up enough of them?"

"Let Fengyang Governor Song Heng find a way, the absolute number is too late, but to cover a wide range, the other prefectures will be counted first this time, mainly the counties of Huai'an Prefecture, and each county must report at least three people."

"Forced apportionment?"

At this time, Wang Bing didn't want to listen to the difficulty, he said firmly: "It must not be difficult, one county after another, it is not easy to find three good people in each county, but it is not easy to find three rich and unkind, hum, it is very easy." ”

After discussing the plan, they found Song Heng over.

Wang Bing personally gave him an idea, "Do it this way." You immediately sent a fast horse, and directly ordered all the magistrates with your Song Zhongcheng's handwriting, asking them to report three people, not only the names of the people, that would be too fake, and when His Majesty asked us, we couldn't answer. It is necessary to write down the lives, backgrounds, and deeds of these people clearly. Write on the spot, and then hurry back again.

The matter of Huai'an Mansion, we report it like this, the key is to not leave a county behind. As for Yangzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, there is too much time, and Presumably Your Majesty will not delve into it, but the specific plans that have begun, you have to talk to Your Majesty categorically, and you can't hesitate at all. ”

Song Heng felt very strange, and even had a feeling of messing around, "That's it...... Will it work? The lower officials themselves have already arrested some people. ”

Wang Bing took a deep breath, "Just do it." ”

He's about 50 percent sure.

This time, the emperor is trying to make the reputation of these people stink.

Then let the officials of all sizes in the world see that the imperial court treats scholars and gentry preferentially, but there are some people in almost every place who oppress the people and fish in the village.

Since this is the case, the imperial court can just propose that these people will no longer be treated preferentially from now on.

In fact, in his opinion, the Son of Heaven did not have to go around this bend.

He is the Emperor of Zhengde.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, no emperor after ten generations still has the power to be the son of today.

Even such a difficult thing as cleaning up the military cantonment has been done, and now that the imperial court has 500,000 soldiers, why can't it really press these people to pay taxes?

On the side, Yang Ting and Chong Song Heng made gestures, "Time is pressing, let's go." ”

After the people left, he walked behind Wang Bing, "Pavilion Elder,"

"Huh?"

"Shall we suggest that Your Majesty return to Beijing?"

Wang Bing was stunned for a moment, and turned his head slightly, "You mean, Your Majesty will be in danger?" ”

"Just in case."

"No, it won't." Wang Bing shook his head, "With Your Majesty's means, everything is done step by step, and the final blow will be hit." This matter has just begun, and it has to be brewed for a long time, and finally it will be done logically. At that time, His Majesty had already returned to Beijing. ”

Yes, he felt that the emperor would not announce such a major decision on the southern tour road, not to mention anything else, he always had to let Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei know in advance, right?

It is impossible to make a temporary decision halfway, this is not the style of Emperor Zhengde.

While they were deliberating, someone outside came in to tell him, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Youji.

The two of them gathered their sleeves at the same time and stepped forward to salute, "Father-in-law." ”

"The two pavilion elders will go with our family, and Your Majesty will summon you."

Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe were surprised, this was really an accident within an accident.

You Di lowered his head and approached the point, "The military report from Gansu shows that the situation in Hami has changed. ”

"Oh, thank you, father-in-law."

Wang Bingxin said that this is the case, not here...... Then he won't be worried.

is still the same sentence, step by step, one blow must be hit, the preparation in the northwest direction must have been done a long time ago, only in this way can it conform to the image of Emperor Zhengde in his impression.

Of course, because it is an urgent military report, the sense of urgency that should be present on the surface still has to be shown.

At the same time, Wang Bing's inner manuscript has been typed, and no matter what the emperor says for a while, as long as he asks him to speak, he will have two words: send troops!
