Jia Jing's heart was slightly panicked, he always felt that Zhang Gong's incident was just the beginning, and at the same time, he was slightly cold.

Emperor Yongxi gave Zhang Gong the authority to call Jinyiwei at any time, because after Zhang Gong arrived, he found that there was a big loophole in the household department, that is, he owed taxes that had been lost year after year.

Therefore, Emperor Yongxi specially ordered Zhang Gong to recover this tax, and Zhang Gong of course chose the strategy of cutting meat with a blunt knife at the beginning, so at the beginning it was only collected in the prefectures and counties of Zhili, and did not expand outward.

But the same Zhang Gong doesn't know how many people he has offended because of this, how many of the following tax arrears are due to legitimate reasons? Now that Zhang Gong has cut off people's political lives, and he has to cut off people's financial routes, isn't this a common hatred?

So no matter how soft Zhang Gong does this, the final outcome is the same, and Zhang Gong himself probably knows it in his heart.

But Zhang Gong may still have a trace of compromise before, hoping that he will be able to end all these grievances by then, if there was hope for this before, now Zhang Gong has blocked this road by himself!

Jia Jing muttered slightly in shock: "Zhang Gong is not dead, the world is difficult to ............" Qingfeng was also a little silent.

Zhang Gong's ending is already doomed, since ancient times, the law has changed the innovator, but in two points, one is to hold the power, and the other is to retreat bravely.

The first kind of human rights are tilted towards the government and the opposition, no one dares to offend you, and even the emperor wants to give you a little face, who dares to treat you like this? Who can put you how?

At most, this kind of person will be abused after death, and no one dares to blow up in front of others before his death! But you're dead, and you still care about what happens after you're dead? When I die, I don't care if he floods!

The second is a self-aware person, this kind of person sees the situation clearly, has his own insistence in his heart, still has his own plans, and finally can smoothly complete his ideals, although it may be a little discounted, but in the end it is for the dynasty to continue his life, and he has also retired successfully, so that he can protect his own name.

And the other is a person like Zhang Gong, originally Zhang Gong was going to be a second kind of person, but I don't know what stimulated him, and he suddenly became so radical!

This will certainly be effective in a short period of time, but in the same way, it will cause more dissatisfaction and offend interests!

Everyone is just afraid of Zhang Gong's momentum now, but after surviving this catastrophe, Zhang Gong is definitely unjust if he doesn't thank the world with his death!

What made Jia Jing even more shocked was that Emperor Yongxi seemed to acquiesce to this behavior, and his love for the important ministers of the New Party was obvious to all, but now Emperor Yongxi has acquiesced to what Zhang Gong did!

Didn't the emperor know that Zhang Gong was killing himself? I don't know if Zhang Gong is used like this, Zhang Gong's ending will only be a dead end? Emperor Yongxi must know, but in terms of stabilizing the situation and Zhang Gong's life, Emperor Yongxi obviously chose the former!

It proves that by this time, it is no longer the time for the emperor to be able to control the situation, and the necessary sacrifice is absolute! And Zhang Gong resolutely chose to sacrifice himself to protect the new party!

Jia Jing was slightly silent, in front of this upcoming wave, Jia Jing would have a sense of powerlessness, he didn't know if Emperor Yongxi had such thoughts at this time, but for him, he had to admit it............

He was scared.

He was afraid of losing everything he was now, afraid that he would kill the people he cherished, and afraid that everything would be corrected back to the world of Red Mansions before him............

Jia Jing leaned back on the seat with a little headache, he was at the helm of this behemoth, but he was not confused about where he would take this ship?

In the face of such a huge wave, Emperor Yongxi had to help himself from clearing the palace, what did he Jia Jing count? Zhang Gong can die for the ideal in his heart, so why did he Jia Jing die?

Qingfeng bowed and stood aside, obviously he also felt Jia Jing's unusual state of mind, but he couldn't do anything either, all he could do was to stand firmly by Jia Jing's side at all times............

On the same thunderstorm night, many people got the news, Chen Xing hurried to Shangguanyi's mansion, he didn't care about the heavy rain at all, the sedan chair had not stopped, Chen Xing ran out of the sedan chair in a hurry.

When they arrived in the hall, they found that Ning Zhi had already sat here, and the two of them were silent when they saw Chen Xing coming, and they didn't move, Chen Xing looked at Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yi hesitated, but nodded.

Chen Xing suddenly beat his chest for a while, patted his forehead and said to Shangguan Yi: "Lingdu, you, why don't you stop Zijing!" Shangguan Yi was silent, and Chen Xing looked very angry.

Ning Zhi on the side had no choice but to say in a deep voice: "Okay! When something like this happens, Shousuke is also sad in his heart! But is there a better way? Qisheng knows how to deal with those rats? Know how to break the game? ”

Chen Xing was speechless, the affairs of his own military department had not yet been cleaned up, where did he take care of the affairs of the household department? You must know that the danger of the household department is not weaker than that of the military department!

Chen Xing sat down in his seat dejectedly and said to the two: "Isn't there room for redemption?" Ning Zhi and Shangguan Yi were silent.

The two are both cabinet ministers, and Ning Zhi is also the secretary of the ministry, the head of the civil officials, and the six ministers, how important is the position? What about Shangguan Yi? The Son of Heaven, the first assistant of the cabinet, rules the world, and the position is also very important to the new party!

Chen Xing's plan to the two is very simple, for today's plan, the only one who can save Zhang Gong is the two people in front of him! They definitely have the strength! Although Zhang Gong will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being dismissed in the end, he can save his life!

But Chen Xing was disappointed, both of them were silent and didn't say anything, the reason is very simple, if you want to save Zhang Gong, you can only stand up to fight some thunder!

But this is not without harm to the two, and it is even very likely that it will directly and greatly shorten the political life of the two!

But at this time, will the new party be able to do without the two of them? Will the new party be able to face the threat of the old party on its own? Is the new party still a new party without the two of them!

This court must know that it is not really the world of the new party, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry are all the land of the old party, and there are still two cabinet ministers in the cabinet, Yang Jisheng and Chen Rong, and they are even weaker than the important public opinion position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

They didn't sit back and kick the old party out, and Emperor Yongxi couldn't allow them to kick the old party out completely! So this is the time to test the new party!

In the absence of His Majesty, the old party is waiting for this golden opportunity to bite a piece of the new party's flesh! If the New Party can't solve this problem independently, then it is conceivable that Emperor Yongxi will inevitably lose trust in the New Party!

The new party has nothing to explain to the ministers of the government and the opposition, and to the people of Dayan! It is precisely because of this that Zhang Gong will die willingly! The time has come when someone has to sacrifice!

Otherwise, where will we raise food for the next natural disasters and impending famines? Who will bear such a big leak? If Zhang Gong doesn't bear it, those officials who made these leaks will have to bear it!

Those officials are guilty, but Shangguan Yi and Zhang Gong still have to grit their teeth and wipe their butts with hatred! Punishing them is an internal matter of the new file, but it cannot be exposed by the old party! Otherwise, the new party will be in turmoil in an instant!

Chen Xing himself actually knew it, so seeing that the two of them were speechless, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel sad, and even cried loudly, Ning Zhi wanted to be comforted, but he didn't know how to say it.

Chen Xing staggered to his feet, walked out as if crying and laughing, and slowly walked into the night despite the heavy rain, still crying in his mouth: "The new deal is closed!" The new law is closed!

！ Hahaha! ”

Ning Zhi and Shangguan Yi were heavy in their hearts, and the two of them were silent for a long time, because to be honest, neither of them was a person who coveted official authority, and their eyes were full of pain at this time.

But they know that the more this time, the more they can't be rash! Pull Zhang Gong a hand, just send himself in vain! This is Zhang Gong's own choice, because he knows that the time has come when someone has to sacrifice!

He hopes that his sacrifice will open a way for the new law and the new deal! Interfering at this time will only disrupt Zhang Gong's plan! Before they began to implement the new law, who was not prepared to die?

Zhang Gong just did his duty, he was determined to complete his mission, and they also have their obligations and missions! They can also be sacrificed when necessary! It just depends on whether the sacrifice is worth it or not!

Wouldn't it be happy to die for the ideals in your heart and for the cause you have dedicated your life to!

Therefore, Ning Zhi didn't say much about these things, but just said to Shangguan Yi: "Shoufu, we should start thinking about how to make up for the loopholes in the treasury after the disaster!" ”

Shangguan Yi sighed and said, "No one knows when this rain will end, and it's useless to start thinking about it at this time." ”

Ning Zhi stepped forward and said, "Shoufu's words are wrong! Could this rain continue into winter? The servant thinks it will be over in a month or two! It won't be the beginning of winter, and it's still falling? ”

The climate was relatively cold during the Xiaoice period, in fact, there was not much rain in the autumn, and now there will be frost every day in the morning when it rains, and I don't know how many displaced people are dying of cold and starvation, which is also something that Nei is worried about at the beginning.

Therefore, Ning Zhi will ask for the treasury to be filled as soon as possible after Zhang Gong's matter is over, Zhang Gong can solve the food problem at most, but after he leaves, he will also leave a bunch of financial problems, who will be able to take on the big responsibility at that time?

Ning Zhi doesn't care about these, what he cares about is that the imperial court always needs silver to run! He doesn't care who the new plan is, all in all, money, not a penny!

Shangguan Yi nodded helplessly and said: "I will report this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible, this kind of thing is up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Ning Zhi opened his mouth, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly and nodded, and then Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice: "You have to pay more attention to the next issue of official governance." ”

Ning Zhiyan's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, he has been doing his best since he took office, everyone knows that the first person to offend people in the new party is Zhang Gong, who wants money to die, and the second is this Dazai Heavenly Official!

Eliminate redundant officials, crack down on corruption, open sources and reduce expenditure, Ning Zhi's ascension to the position is a vigorous and resolute fist, and if he hurts the enemy by 3,000, how can he not lose 800 himself?

But now, the officials who have worked so hard to select and implement the new policy have only been out for three or four years, and most of them are rapidly corrupting!

This is too serious! If the old party grabs the little tail of the new party, it is strange that the new party does not shed its skin! That's why Ning Zhi's face is so gloomy!

Shangguan Yi glanced at Ning only and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's much better to find out by yourself than to be found out by others, but this matter must be handled properly, you know what to do." ”

Ning Zhi just nodded silently, of course he knew what to do, kill a batch and punish a batch and release a batch, the new deal always has someone to do things, it is impossible to kill them all, if you really kill them all, who will do things?

But you can't let it all go, otherwise these people will only rot faster! The group of people who put it has to be carefully selected, and I think it has been several days and nights of sleeplessness!

But if this matter is not done as soon as possible, it is not okay, no matter whether it is fair enough or not, we must end this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will change later! The old party will always keep an eye on this matter, and it will not work if it is tightened and loosened, and it will be an excuse for the old party to attack it if it is late!

Shangguan Yi saw that Ning Zhi was not in a good mood, so he could only sigh helplessly, looked at the pouring rain outside, and muttered, "I don't know when I will see the light of day again..............."

In the past few days, there has finally been no continuous rain, because the successive thunderstorms have shrouded the entire Shenjing City, and the heavy rain day and night has hit the city wildly, and the wind and rain in the sky are howling, and the wind and rain are also coming in people's hearts.

Jia Jing wiped the rain from his face, he was only wearing an ordinary white jacket at this time, his trousers were pulled up high, walking in the mud, the rain slowed down a little at this time, and Jia Jing was able to breathe for a while.

A soldier of the Yulin Army galloped over on horseback, hugged his fists at Jia Jing and said, "Yushuai! Dongcheng is in an emergency! Several stores have been flooded! Wu Kui, the Duke of Jingguo in Dongcheng, was stationed, and Qiu Liang, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, did not dare to enter and leave without permission, and asked Yu Shuai to decide! ”

Jia Jing's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, the terrain of Shenjing City is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the continuous rainstorm really made the underground drainage system of the entire Shenjing City completely collapse! In the end, waterlogging was formed!

The terrain of Beicheng is slightly better, but the buildings of Beicheng itself are old and badly damaged, and the continuous rainstorms have caused countless houses to collapse.

Then Jia Jing ordered people to set up all the military tents of the Yulin Army in the open area, and began to cook porridge to help the victims, and the current disaster situation in Beicheng has only improved slightly, but there are still frequent house collapses, which makes Jia Jing a little worried, and can only let the soldiers of the Yulin Army check according to the door-to-door notice.

It is hoped that the people whose houses are damaged and old can leave the houses first to take refuge, but most of the people in Beicheng are still very wary of the officers and soldiers, so even if the soldiers of the Yulin Army have worked hard, the results are still minimal.

Jia Jing originally wanted to call someone to inform Zhou Ji to take over and coordinate the flood control and waterlogging control of the four cities of Shenjing as soon as possible, but before he could be ordered here, there was news that Qiu Liang did not dare to enter and leave Dongcheng casually.

Jia Jing couldn't help but throw the shovel in his hand on the ground, and scolded Qiu Liang for being incompetent, but scolding people couldn't solve the problem, Jia Jing could only call someone to inform Zhou Ji while riding his horse towards Dongcheng.

Along the way, it is obvious that it is not only the people of Beicheng who have been affected, many people do not have this awareness, and when the water flows into the house at the beginning, they are almost still chatting around the kang, and they are still feeling with great interest that they have never seen such a heavy rain...............

But then I am afraid that there will be no such leisure, because the rain will soon get higher and higher, and in the end it will not even reach the calf! The people began to panic, but they only came to the street helplessly.

Jia Jing looked at the dazed people and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but in fact, Jia Jing himself was a little dazed now, so he could only rush to Dongcheng as soon as possible.

In fact, before Dongcheng, the rain became heavy again, and the rain in Dongcheng didn't even reach the thighs! Jia Jing is not obvious when he is riding on the horse, but he clearly feels that the water level is constantly rising! Jia Jing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Stop!"

"Stop your mother's head! Wu Kui! Tell him to come out to me! ”

The two soldiers were scolded by the slapping of their heads and faces, and they couldn't help but look at it carefully, because they only recognized who the person in front of them was, and they couldn't help but be embarrassed............

Jia Jing broke into Wu Kui's yamen in a hurry, kicked open the door, inside Song Qing was drinking tea with Wu Kui slowly, when he saw Jia Jing kicking in the door, he couldn't help but glance at each other, Wu Kui said in a deep voice: "Ning Hou, I have repeatedly tolerated you, you are good tempered when I Wu Kui?" ”

Jia Jing didn't have the spare time to talk to him at all, so he said bluntly: "Don't talk nonsense!" I ask you, is Dongcheng your jurisdiction? People are drowning so much, you still have the face to drink tea here? Do you care? ”

Wu Kui threw the teacup on the table and made a noise, and couldn't help but say to Jia Jing in a deep voice: "Zhu Zixiu's mouth is crazy!" Jia Jing said impatiently: "You don't talk nonsense!" I'll ask you, is Dongcheng under your control! Is this the jurisdiction that we agreed to divide at the beginning? Now that the people of Dongcheng are displaced, why are you sitting here drinking tea? Can you drink it? ”
