Chapter 767: The Big Landlord of Jiangnan
"It is rumored that the Qingtian Order will soon go from Shandong to Jiangnan, but Zhongcheng thinks that who is the biggest landlord in Jiangnan?"
The person who asked Jing Shaokui this was his political participation Xu Yun, who he brought all the way from Jiangxi.
This question is actually not difficult to answer, Jing Shaokui only frowned, he is the person who the emperor deliberately promoted to this position, and now the will of the imperial court has not yet been made, but the recitals of Suzhou, Changzhou and other prefectures and counties have all come one by one, and no matter what has changed, it is to delay the Qingtian.
In this way, the order is chaotic before it arrives, and it is also his ineffective handling of it.
"What do you mean, Wei Guogong?"
That's what the subordinates meant. Nanjing, the town of Wei Guogongshi, for more than 100 years, the land occupied by the Guogong Mansion is afraid that it will not be able to hold 200,000 acres. Nanjing is the Duke of Wei, and there are clans and nobles in other places. Zhongcheng wanted to explain to the emperor that the most important thing was not the local wealthy family, but the powerful family headed by the Duke of Wei. ”
Jing Shaokui nodded clearly, "But now, the imperial court has no intention to go to Jiangnan, and the chaos in these places ......."
"The subordinates think that these are not difficult, if the prefect and the county really have the courage to oppose it, it is good to play it like the court to make it clear, the emperor's heart is so strong, they have no silver three hundred taels here, and it is not such a way to find death, so Zhongcheng does not have to pay attention to it, and only obeys the order and makes a four-character strong order. The key is whether the emperor will even find out the fields of the Wei Mansion. ”
Jing Shaokui frowned, the status of Wei Guogong in this dynasty is not low, and the emperor has also deigned to come.
These nobles were originally the pillars of imperial power, and if the emperor really wanted to move this time...... It's also extremely dangerous.
"At the beginning of the year, Marquis Jinglu suddenly led an army of 30,000 troops into Jiangnan." At first glance, he was familiar with conspiracy and calculation, "At the beginning, it was said that there was a war between the imperial court and Japan, so it was to prevent Japanese troubles." But at that time, his subordinates thought it was strange. ”
"What's weird?"
"First, the Ming Dynasty has a water division, and the trouble has been significantly reduced compared with previous years, where do you need the elite Beijing camp of the imperial court to defend, even if you really have this intention, at most send a garrison general, it is enough to lead two guards and horses, why do you need the famous Jingyu Marquis?
Second, now that Japan has been defeated, its own silver mountains cannot be saved, and there is no one to lead the fleeing Japanese people, what threat can there be like stragglers? But does the Marquis of Jingyu have any intention of leaving? ”
"En......" Jing Shaokui nodded his chin, "After the Marquis of Jingyu arrived in Jiangnan, in the name of preventing Japanese invaders, he was stationed in the government, and he deliberately stayed away from the residents for half a year, and he did not have contact with the officialdom in Jiangnan, as if there was no such person directly. It's a bit strange. ”
The atmosphere was already tense, and the final fall didn't make them wait too long.
Two days later.
People came from Beijing, and it was Jinyiwei and Dongchang who escorted all the way to come, the herald, Jin Gui.
Jing Shaokui had also seen this person when he went to Beijing to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, and he already understood a little bit in his heart when he first met.
This man,
It was the emperor's cronies who had used it for more than ten years!
"Governor Yingtian, garrison Nanjing Jing Shaokui obeys the order!"
"The minister takes the order!"
The governor of Yingtian was originally a civil official of the imperial court, and the garrison of Nanjing was served by the nobles of the imperial court for a long time, first as the Duke of Chengguo, and later as the Duke of Wei.
Later, the current Duke of Wei Xu Li was old and frail and could not do anything, and his grandchild Xu Pengju did not perform well when he saw the king last year, and he was not liked by the Son of Heaven, so the Nanjing garrison came out of the Duke of Wei.
At that time, the Son of Heaven had already planned today's affairs, so he handed over the power to one person.
This Jing Shaokui is also a capable cadre promoted by Zhu Houzhao.
Of course, compared to Jin Gui, it is still a little worse, not to mention that he still has the identity of a chase, "Jing Zhongcheng, the will has been declared, what the holy will is, you should understand." Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice with dense water nets, and Jiangnan is not good enough to anger Your Majesty, and you can't afford it. ”
"Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan must do his best."
"If you are free, go to the Wei Mansion with this official."
"Yes!"
But before that, Jin Gui still has a place to go.
Last year, the emperor met Li Dongyang here, when Li Dongyang was seriously ill, he wanted to return to his hometown, but his body did not allow it, and finally he could not last too long, this year he has been bedridden until the end of July of the eleventh year of Zhengde, unfortunately died.
When I heard this, the whole world mourned.
Li Dongyang is not only a literary giant who founded the Chaling Poetry School, but also the governor of the Yangtze River for several years, the people of Jiangnan live and work in peace and contentment, this originally rich place has almost reached the level of not leaving the road behind and not closing the door at night, such political achievements, even more Li Dongyang's fame.
Jin Gui came here to greet him with the help of the emperor, but he didn't expect to hear bad news halfway through. In this case, he wants to hang on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which can be regarded as expressing the heart of the court.
……
……
Li Dongyang's stepson, Li Zhaoxian, held a funeral vigil for him.
Because he is very famous, not to mention the city of Nanjing, even the people around him also want to come here to pay respects.
Even if you can't leave because you're entangled in official business, you have to send someone here.
The deceased was the greatest, and even Jin Gui put the matter of visiting the Duke of Wei at the back.
On the afternoon of the day he arrived in Nanjing, he went to the Li Mansion, and when he arrived at the front of the door, everyone in the Li Mansion was dressed in linen, all of them wore filial piety, and as far as the eye could see, it was already white everywhere.
And the people who come and go are not sparse, and the famous homes of the officials and gentry from all over the country are all lined up.
Among the crowd, the name of Chin Cha is very surprising.
The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.
The subordinate reported to Xu Li, "Xiya Gong passed away only two days ago, and the imperial court has already arrived, according to the time calculation, this Qin mission arrived in Ning, it must not be for the funeral of Xiya Gong." It is rumored outside that Jin Chong came to announce the decree in person, and the matter must be not small. Probably related to the Kiyota Order. ”
Such a scene, presumably, in addition to the Wei State Mansion, is also happening in every house.
The imperial court wanted to imitate Shandong and conduct a Qingtian operation in the south of the Yangtze River.
This is already a killing intent.
"Grandpa......" Xu Pengju is an adult, and he can see the surface meaning of these things, "What should we do?" ”
Xu Li was silent, but his solemn eyes were not fake, "I also asked someone to ask over there in Shandong, this time the imperial court Zhangtian, in Shandong Zhangtian, there are many ownerless fields, some of the land is obviously still cultivated the day before, and the carefully tended crops have no owner overnight, is this a miracle in the world?"
In fact, what's so strange, even if it is the field of the foreign vassal king, the court will also reprimand and recover it, if it is involved in an important case, there will be a raid on the house. Therefore, those fields naturally have no owner. Nowadays, the city of Nanjing is staring at the Wei State Mansion...... Ay. ”
Xu Pengju said: "The emperor has also come to our mansion, and he should know that the Duke of Wei is loyal to the imperial court!" Wei Guogong is also different from others! ”
Xu Li knew that he couldn't think like this, during the Hongwu period, Huaixi Xungui also relied on his own merits and invaded the people's land, those people are still the people who really made military exploits, did Emperor Taizu spare them?
The young grandson likes vanity, and probably thinks that the Duke of Wei has a very special place in the emperor's heart.
Actually, where is it?
"The emperor won't say anything...... Xu Li thought, "Maybe there is a test of our meaning, grandson, we can't be confused about big things, I just think, if our Wei Mansion takes the lead, then what do you want the emperor to do?" For the sake of you and my grandson, stopped this order of Kiyota that had been prepared for a year? ”
Xu Peng said: "The emperor is the biggest in the world, whoever he says to spare can be spared, and whoever he says can be killed, who dares to resist?" ”
"In that case, what if the person you want to kill is grandpa me? Anyway, no one dares to object, and if you kill it, you will kill it. ”
"But we ...... The nobles and the royal family share the world. ”
"Don't talk about it."
Back then, Emperor Taizong also told King Ning that he had been in the world for a long time.
The world has always been enjoyed alone, how can there be a common reason?
Everyone everywhere in Jiangnan was looking at Wei Guogong, but they didn't know that they were powerless to bargain with the emperor.
After another half a day, by the evening, Wei Guogong had already fallen asleep, but he suddenly heard someone outside the door, "Master, there is a brocade guard outside the door!" ”
Xu Li was so old that he almost fainted with fright, "Ah! Jinyiwei is here?! Where is it? ”
The servant said, "Here you are, wait for the master in the main hall." ”
"Waiting for me?!" Xu Li thought for a moment that this was not the rhythm of arresting, "Wait, how many people are coming?" ”
"Back to the master, there is a person."
Ha?
Xu Li's mind calmed down for a moment, and then his face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth, fuck, he almost scared him out of his old life!
He stepped forward and slapped him hard, snapping, and it was very crisp in the middle of the night.
"If you can't speak, you cut out your tongue!!"
This person is very wronged, I don't know what I did wrong, and people who cover their hot faces are dizzy.
And waiting outside was not someone else, it was Han Ziren, the deputy envoy of Jinyiwei.
He was sent by Emperor Jian, and he has been keeping an eye on the movements of all parties in Jiangnan recently, and today the imperial court's envoy has arrived in Nanjing, so he can also come.
Xu Li felt that Jinyiwei was really weird, he didn't visit during the day, and he made such a show at night, and his subordinates didn't make it clear, which made him frightened.
When Han Ziren heard the footsteps, he turned his head and immediately saluted when he saw a white-haired old man, "Han Ziren, the deputy envoy of the Jinyi Guard, has seen Wei Guogong." ”
Although Han Ziren is a Jinyi guard, he is from a good background, unlike Mao Wenwen and Ma Bin, who are two stinky hooligans.
"Why did Deputy Envoy Han come to visit on a starry night?"
"Pass on the emperor's message."
"Ahh Wei Guogong exclaimed in surprise and immediately stood up and took a respectful posture.
In fact, it was possible to write letters, but the things in this world are very evil, and there are some things that have no evidence to talk to each other, and they really have to fall on paper, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do.
"The emperor said that my implementation of the Tianxia Qingtian Order is a century-old policy to strengthen the country and enrich the people. I hope that the Duke of Wei will assist from the side to stabilize the place, and there must be no mistakes. ”
"The minister of Wei Guogong Xu Li obeys the order."
Han Ziren said again, "The emperor brought it orally, and the lower officials retired." ”
"Deputy Envoy Han," Xu Li stretched out his hand to beckon, he didn't even know that Deputy Envoy Jinyiwei was in Jiangnan, "It's late at night at this time, if Deputy Envoy Han doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay in the mansion?" ”
Han Ziren refused with a smile, "Grandpa Guo is polite." ”
"Deputy Envoy Han!"
This gesture seemed to be a woman who was reluctant to let her lover leave, Han Ziren also understood, and he said: "Grandpa Guo's kindness is appreciated by the official, but does Grandpa Guo want to have too deep a relationship with Zaixia?" Moreover, the glory of the Duke of Wei is not in the hands of Han, but in the hands of the Grandpa of Guo himself. ”
At this end, Han Ziren didn't say more.
In his opinion, the emperor has already given special attention, and he has also given a special message. This is called saluting first and then soldiering, if you still insist on going your own way, it is self-defeating.
At this time, Jiangnan, no matter how many actions there are, they are useless.
