At this time, the dark clouds outside had been thick for a long time, and the darkness was overwhelming.

Hai Rui looked up, and suddenly saw the courtyard pouring down dense silver threads, jumping beads splashing in the hall, and then said to Lu Kun and Tang Chuanxun in front of the rain curtain:

"There are two reasons;"

"First, for the purpose of delaying the army, the recruited people need to be trained for a period of time."

"Second, this church has said that whether this storm can clean up those heroes behind the scenes, it is not something that a person who dares to work hard to be a good official in this hall can do, it depends on how determined the Son of Heaven is!"

Hai Rui laughed as he spoke, and said with a smile to Lu Kun and Tang Chuanxun:

"In the past, this church was the same as you, thinking that with a pure heart, I could protect the people of the society, but then I went through many things and realized that I can't do it alone!"

"It is better to shed a river of blood, but also not to be wronged by the pro-military guards and to carry out the new policy;"

"Or, at this point, we will compromise, sacrifice the lives of a few pro-army guard officers and soldiers, sacrifice their heads to the heroes behind the scenes, and let the pro-army guards go back with a bad reputation for doing all kinds of evil in Jiangnan, and then compromise the requirements of reform, only reduce the preferential and exemption amount for the official gentry and not cancel them all, and increase the four million stone grain and one hundred taels of gold and silver that the Jiangnan gentry are willing to hand over to a larger number every year, and in exchange for the condition that the imperial court will no longer send troops and horses to the south?"

"It all depends on how you choose!"

"If it's the latter, then there's no need for the parish to come with them and kill them greatly! After all, the lives of the people are also their lives!"

Lu Kun nodded at this time, and the fire in his heart subsided a lot.

"But if it's the latter, it's tantamount to letting the Son of Heaven abolish his martial arts!"

"In the future, if the Son of Heaven wants to send the pro-military guards out of Beijing to suppress the localities, there will be civil officials who will use this incident as an excuse to discourage them, saying that sending the pro-military guards out will only disturb the people, and then lead to a civil uprising, and ask the Son of Heaven to retract his life!"

Then, Lu Kun looked at Hai Rui and continued.

"No, it won't!"

Tang Chuanxun suddenly said loudly at this time, and then clenched his fists as well, and said with a solemn expression: "Anyway, Your Majesty will not choose to sacrifice the pro-military guard!"

……

Jingshi is actually also in this period of time, and they have spread the news about the Wu Dimin Rebellion.

And the rumor is much more serious than what actually happened in Wu Land.

It is said that more than 100,000 people in Wu have revolted because they could not bear the burning and looting of the pro-army guards, and they have broken through Zhenjiang, Shangyuan, Jurong and other places.

It is also said that there have been 40,000 or 50,000 people in Wu who have rebelled and fled to Huizhou, Fengyang and other places.

It is even said that a large amount of grain has been looted by the rioters, and a large number of officials have been killed.

As for the lack of business travel and the uncultivated large amount of land, this is not enough alarming news.

In short, it seems that the entire Wu Land is really completely messed up.

Therefore, the officials of the DPRK and China were very alarmed.

After all, as a member of the landlord class, what they are most afraid of is turmoil and instability.

Both reformers and conservatives are afraid of this.

Not only the officials, but also the powerful people who have industries in the whole country, that is, those royal relatives and nobles.

And on the day of Hai Rui's invitation, a large number of Beijing officials and scholars in Beijing had already gathered in the official residence, asking to see Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and hoping that Zhang Juzheng could put forward some views on this.

After all, the Beijing officials and the scholars in Beijing know very well that all this is now caused by the new policy of the officials and gentry to pay food and work as errands.

And this new policy happened to be implemented by Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, they all came to Zhang Juzheng.

It's just that the Jinyi guards guarding the courtyard of the official residence saw so many Beijing officials and scholars in Beijing coming, and they were also worried that these people were here to make trouble, so they directly closed the door, did not let these people in, and hurriedly reported up.

Bang Bang!

Bang Bang!

"Why don't you let us in!"

"Do the rulers only know about the implementation of the new policy but do not know how to sweep up the aftermath, and do not know that they are responsible for the people of Wudi

Blame?!"

"Do you have to wait for the world to be in chaos and let the Ming Dynasty die, before you are willing to come out, and then welcome the new master?!"

These officials and scholars in Beijing were even more annoyed by this, and kept banging on the hoop while shouting all kinds of ugly words.

The main reason is that the chaos in Wu has indeed affected the interests behind their respective countries.

After all, Jiangnan is the largest domestic demand market and the largest export base for various commodities, whether it is an official from a local area in Jiangnan or an official from other places, as long as the family is doing business, they are worried that their trading will be affected.

As for the local landlord-turned-officials in Jiangnan, they are even more worried, knowing that the abandonment of farming undoubtedly means that their income has also been greatly reduced.

Of course, these bureaucrats themselves do not want the preferential exemption to be abolished, so they are naturally willing to take this opportunity to make trouble.

The ruling ministers in the courtyard of the official residence have all arrived at the official residence of the first assistant of the cabinet, and gathered here to Zhang Juzheng.

"Motosuke, why don't you meet them?"

Ma Ziqiang said to Zhang Juzheng at this time, and said: "After all, the southeast Wu land is the world's wealthy land, once it is chaotic, everyone is suspenseful!"

Zhang Juzheng said: "It is the Jinyi guards who guard the courtyard of the official residence, and the servants cannot forcibly break out to meet them without permission!"

Then, Zhang Juzheng looked at the ministers present: "Take this opportunity, you should first tell us your opinions, make up a proposal first, and then go out to meet them."

"I didn't expect that the implementation of the official gentry's integrated payment of grain and errands would eventually cause such a big civil uprising! At the outset, the contemptible people really underestimated the difficulty of implementing the new policy, and if they had known about it, they would have discouraged it."

Cabinet minister Ma Ziqiang simply spoke first.

Liu Yingjie, the secretary of the ministry, also said: "Yes, even if we are still willing to insist, those Beijing officials outside are only afraid and unwilling to insist, there is no need to say that the local government is in danger, not to mention the implementation of the new policy, it is difficult to maintain the previous peace!"

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

"Is there a better way?!"

"Those who are the Son of Heaven should be forbearant for the country!"

"What's more, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and you can't rush it!"

Liu Yingjie spoke at this time, and said, "If Yuanfu insists on refusing to wronged the Son of Heaven's close ministers, and Ning Dazeng kills the evil, the contemptible can only resign!"

Ma Ziqiang also followed: "There are also subordinates who can only resign! After all, as a minister, he is not a slave of the Son of Heaven, and there is no reason to really give up the pros and cons of the world, but only plan for the Son of Heaven! I am responsible for the common people of the community!"

"And me!"

Yang Zhao also chimed in.

"And me!"

"If that's the case, I'll have no choice but to resign!"

……

For a time, most of the ruling ministers did not want to care only about the rights and interests of the Son of Heaven.

"That being the case, please go into the palace with your servants! I want to see the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Juzheng said this because of this.

After Zhang Juzheng said that, he really brought a group of ministers to the gate of the official residence, and said to the brocade guards here: "Please report to Your Majesty, we will ask to see the Son of Heaven."

At this time, Zhai Rujing came over and said, "Your Majesty knows, Tezhun Er is waiting to see you!"

So, Zhang Juzheng and the other ministers came to Miyagi by carriage.

At the beginning, the Jingguan and the scholars in Beijing stopped them and asked them to express their position, but when they learned that they had entered the palace to see the Son of Heaven in order to solve the Wu Dimin Rebellion, they also began to get out of the way, and they all followed, and they were as dense as clouds for a while.

Zhu Yijun only announced that he met Zhang Juzheng.

"The gentleman and the courtiers must have come to persuade me to grieve the pro-military guard in this regard, so as to show that they would back down and compromise, right?"

Zhu Yijun asked directly after seeing Zhang Juzheng.
