"This kind of thing has not happened before, after the filial piety temple was changed to the silver in the middle of the grain opening, the border preparation was so bad, and now I can't change it if I want to go back!"

"Because, once cultivated land has been abandoned for many years, it is difficult to restore it, and the same is true for water conservancy."

"It's hard to move back if the tun households are lost."

"As a result, the merchants have become bigger in the south, and because these merchants have long been official gentry, they can recover again."

Wang Guoguang gave an example.

"Everything in the world is unpredictable."

"If the Son of Heaven really wants to abolish his martial arts, what can you and I do?"

"Ruguan, don't think too far! If the Son of Heaven uses you and me, you and I will do the king's work, and if you don't use me, you will keep to yourself. ”

Fang Fengshi followed up and said, "And obey the principles of heaven!" In fact, if it weren't for Jiangling, the prince would not have entered the cabinet, and I was only afraid that it would be difficult to give birth to the Taibao. ”

"I'm afraid this is not his uncle's grace!"

"Uncle is also from a Qingliu background, how can he easily let you and me have such an honor?"

Wang Guoguang laughed.

"Even if it wasn't his intention, at least he didn't stop it."

Fang said again.

"Yes, servants are content."

"When he becomes a country in Puzhou, I will resign."

Wang Guoguang replied with a smile.

……

"Yuanfu, now the edict of the Son of Heaven has finally been issued; Therefore, the matter of the officials and gentry paying food and working on errands is also promising, and it is really a gratifying and congratulatory thing! ”

Zhang Siwei was here, and after Wang Guoguang accosted Zhang Juzheng, when Zhang Juzheng came to get off the sedan chair and went to the cabinet, he was busy talking to Zhang Juzheng, although he was just talking nonsense on the scene, but he also had to show his face in front of Zhang Juzheng from time to time.

However, Zhang Juzheng ignored Zhang Siwei.

Because, at this time, Zhang Juzheng saw Xie Jie, who had been ordered to be promoted to the prefect of Dongfan Island, kneeling here.

After Xie Jie saw Zhang Juzheng appear, he also hurriedly kowtowed to the ground: "Please Yuanfu raise your noble hand!" ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't say much, but said to Zhang Siwei: "Ziwei, you persuade, the servant and the original book sent by the river must be drafted in time." ”

"Yes!"

"Motosuke, please rest assured, his subordinates will persuade him."

After Zhang Siwei said to Zhang Juzheng respectfully, he turned to look at Xie Jie: "Xie Fuyin, what are you talking about!" What does it mean to let Yuanfu raise his noble hand and let you be promoted to the prefect, it is to see that you are loyal and courageous, so I give you the opportunity to experience. ”

"In less than three or five years, you will be able to seal one side of the frontier, and even rank as the minister, and you will be glorious from now on!"

"What's wrong?"

"This is your chance!"

"Not only are you not grateful, but you actually said what to raise your noble hand, I don't know, I think how Yuanfu hurt you!"

Zhang Siwei continued, and then suddenly shouted at Xie Jie: "You don't leave here quickly!" Otherwise, the servant will be the first to reveal the secret, and if you are secretly scheming, plotting to kill the minister, and want to disrupt the court, please let the holy decree let Jinyiwei take you, treat you for a crime of deceiving the king, and kill you! ”

After hearing this, Xie Jie looked up at Zhang Siwei and asked, "Is this what Elder Ge means himself, or what Yuan Fu means?" ”

"Naturally, it's the servant's own meaning!"

Zhang Siwei said.

After hearing this, Xie Jie said: "Why is Elder Ge so vicious? ”

"You disobey the decree and persecute Yuanfu here, your heart can be said to be more vicious than anyone else, and you even say that the servant is vicious, and the servant is kind enough to persuade you to leave."

"In short, if you don't leave, for the sake of Yuanfu, Fu Ning will bear this cruel name, and you will also ask the Holy Decree to punish you!"

"Otherwise, the servant will resign and leave first, and he will not be with you!"

Zhang Siwei peeked at Zhang Juzheng, who had returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and said in a louder voice.

"Is the elder of the Zhang family a lackey or a courtier of the Zhu family, why is there only a barking sound here?!"

Xie Jie questioned Zhang Siwei in frustration, and then got up angrily and left the cabinet.

After Xie Jie left the cabinet, as soon as he left Donghua Gate, a eunuch waited here, and said to Xie Jie: "There is an edict, Xie Fu Yin will accept the order." ”

Xie Jie hurriedly took over the order.

And Xie Jie immediately burst into tears after unfolding his edict and reading it, and then knelt down in front of the eunuch: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will either be buried in the belly of a fish or exposed to the island, or the imperial wind will reach the whole island, and the people will all speak Chinese, woo!" ”

"Brother Hanfu!"

At this time, Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong came over and arched their hands towards Xie Jie.

Wei Yunzhong first persuaded: "Please also ask Brother Hanfu not to be too sad, the power of heaven is unpredictable, I thought that at most it would be exiled with a court staff, who would have thought that Jiangling was hateful, and he would use this method, which is obviously a light punishment, but he really wants to let the public die!" ”

"Yes, it was unexpected."

Gu Xian became enlightened.

Xie Jie also burst into tears and said: "Yes, who would have thought that it would be at most a temporary outfall in the official career, and it would be able to be reused by the Son of Heaven in the future, but who knows, it will be really an unpredictable step of life and death." ”

As he spoke, Xie Jie asked Gu Xiancheng: "What about Xiuwu, why didn't he come?" ”

Gu Xiancheng sneered and said: "He is sick and can't come, ask me to bring you a message, the way of heaven will not let the loyal and upright people die in another country." ”

Xie Jie smiled after hearing this.

Wei Yunzhong sighed at this time: "Although I know that it is useless for Han Fu to refute the edict, it is impossible to stop it, Jiangling let the Son of Heaven strengthen the army; But at this time, I am still a little lost, and I don't know if it is useful or not for us to do this. ”

"Nature is useful!"

Gu Xiancheng replied at this time, and said: "Rather die than live silently!" ”

"We just want Gangneung to know that not everyone supports him in doing this."

And he should also understand that although it is only Brother Hanfu who refutes the edict, behind this, Brother Hanfu is not the only one who wants to refute this matter? It's the majority of virtuous gentlemen in the entire Shilin! He Jiangling should know the consequences of doing this! ”

"Yes, as Uncle Shi said, it is because of this that I decided to refute this edict, but I didn't expect it to come to this point."

Xie Jie spoke at this time, and after speaking, he took out Emperor Zhu Yijun's edict and said, "However, the Son of Heaven gave me an edict and asked me to go to Dongfan Island for training. ”

"Is this unbearable or pretentious?"

"Or, Han Fu was put in Dongfan, was it the original intention of the Son of Heaven, or the intention of Jiangling?"

Wei Yunzhong was stunned for a moment and asked.

Xie Jie said: "No matter what it is, it has to be understood that the Son of Heaven can't bear it, and he has to count this matter on Jiangling's head." ”

"That's right! If Jiangling does not fall, and Zhang Dang does not get rid of it, it is useless to change the new emperor. ”

"If there is no Zhang Dang, even if the Son of Heaven is as smart as a temple, there is no need to be afraid."

Gu Xiancheng nodded at this time and said in a low voice.

Wei Yunzhong nodded.

Xie Jie gave up his hand to Wei Yunzhong and Gu Xiancheng here: "In any case, please ask the second duke to speak for my brother in the future, so that I can come back as soon as possible, even if I am just dismissed and return to the inland, it is good." ”

"Don't worry, definitely."

The two nodded back.

But Gu Xiancheng and Wei Yunzhong did not speak up for Xie Jie in the future.

"Emperor Qiqi, this is the report presented by Jinyiwei about Xie Jie's performance after receiving the will today, as well as the performance of the Wenchen who came into contact with him."

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun was reading at night, and Zhang Whale came over and handed a copy of the report to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun took it, and after reading it, he laughed and said in his heart: "It looks like they are all loyal!" ”

"It's just that I'm afraid I can't wait to get rid of Zhang Dang, if I don't be honest and obedient, I'll let myself fall into the water, right?"

"Don't let yourself fall into the water now, maybe it's just because you fall into the water, as long as Zhang Dang still exists, he can change his son of heaven again, continue to be in power, and he can also use this to build a prison and further crack down on dissidents."

"What has the Xu family been doing lately?"

After Zhu Yijun thought so, he asked.

Zhang Whale hurriedly replied: "Xu Ying has arrived in Guide!" ”

"Xu Jie must have known that the matter of the official gentry paying for food and working on an errand has been decided."

"In addition, according to Songjiang's Jinyi Guardian, the Xu family's cotton fields have a bumper harvest this year, and a half of Songjiang's cotton cloth industry has been fully owned by it, but the profits of Songjiang's cotton cloth exports are still high, and the cotton produced by Xu's cotton fields is still insufficient for its trade needs, but the price of Songjiang fields is getting higher and higher, and it is not easy to buy new fields."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun instructed: "Let Jinyiwei send more people in Songjiang Mansion to keep an eye on the Xu family, including the local rich businessmen!" ”

Zhang Whale said yes.

And Zhu Yijun secretly said to himself at this time: "I hope there will not be too serious cotton cannibalism!" ”

Then, Zhu Yijun instructed Zhang Whale again: "Let the orphans who graduated from Xingming Academy and know how to calculate and count the orphans who were arranged to Jinyiwei first investigate how many landless people and hired workers there are in various places, and be sure to find out the current scale of employees in various cities and towns, as well as the employment incidents that occur every year." ”
