"Uemoto!"

"Uemoto!"

"Even if Jiangling punishes me because of this, I will go to the book and speak up for the villagers!"

Cheng Lai looked at the private message in his hand with a sad face, which was also sent by his family, and said to Gu Xiancheng, Li Zhi and others.

"It's not good if you don't go to this book!"

"Hai Rui has gone too far in Nanzhi, instigating the people to make trouble and rebellion, coercing the gentry, and has caused complete chaos in Jiangnan! If we don't go to this book, we are not only sorry for the country, but also sorry for the country! ”

Gu Xiancheng also said with a solemn expression.

Li Zhi also slapped the table at this time and said, "Then let's go together!" If he has the ability to Jiangling, he will kill all the Beijing officials in my Nanzhi! Don't take a person from Nanzhi, split the country, and completely turn the court into the court of his Chu people! ”

"I also agree with the previous book, otherwise, I will indeed have no face to see my father!"

Yu Maoheng, the imperial historian of the capital, also followed at this time, and also glanced at the private message in his hand.

In short, after receiving letters from relatives and friends, many officials in Nanzhijing could no longer endure the popular movement of rent and interest reduction and money processing set off by Hai Jui and the pro-military guards, nor could they tolerate the behavior of Hai Jui and other bureaucrats who only cared about upholding the imperial system and state law at the local level, and did not care about the face of the gentry, and forced the gentry to return the land they had forcibly occupied, forced the gentry to pay grain for a strict errand, and even strictly controlled the behavior of the gentry in harassing the post station.

……

"The reason why I emphasize that my own people should be more precious than the people of other countries, emphasize Huayi, and emphasize the nation, is not only to strengthen the people, but to avoid the future appearance of the Han family rivers and mountains as a foreign captivity; It is also intended to use this way to ease the contradiction between the right and the small people of the Chong Guanfu Hao. ”

"I know that Mr. is not willing to let Hai Jui instigate the small people in Nanzhi to force the gentry to make profits, and I think that the gentry should still be treated preferentially in order to benefit the Germans."

"After all, this can let the people know that everything is inferior only to study, as long as you want to be a master, you can only study and work for the court, and as a small people, the reason why you are tired and suffering, and your life is as cheap as an ant, is because you have failed to become a Wenqu star, which is caused by fate, and you should accept your fate, and do good deeds and hope for your children and grandchildren, so that you can win the hearts of the people in the world."

"But, sir, there is a limit to the patience of the people, and it is not enough to give them the hope of being a superior man. Because people are the basic survival needs, only when this need is satisfied, people will talk about other things, and if this need is broken, it is useless to win people's hearts. ”

"If the annexation and exploitation are not curbed, the problem of the contradiction between man and land cannot be fundamentally solved, and only the number of displaced people is allowed to increase arbitrarily, which will sooner or later lead to a large-scale civil uprising, and then the Ming Dynasty will still be destroyed as in the past, perhaps not only the national annihilation, but the entire Han family world has been reduced to a foreign world!"

"And the rulers have the responsibility to alleviate this contradiction, and even use foreign wars to ease the conflict, and use the affairs between ethnic groups to wash away the dissatisfaction of the small people with the government and the imperial court."

"That's why I intend to honor my people from abroad."

The local Haoyou in Nanzhi and the Nanzhi officials in Beijing became more and more unable to stand the democratic movement related to rent and interest reductions, and when a cadre of Nanzhi officials wanted to impeach Hai Rui and other bureaucrats, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng continued to exchange each other's ideas on governing the country and the people in the Qianqing Palace, and they were gradually converging.

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng's eyebrows relaxed, nodded as if he had understood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has really grown up, and he is better than the minister imagined." ”

"Sir is the emperor's minister, you should not boast about me like this, otherwise I will be proud, and I will never hear the words of the contrary again."

Zhu Yijun smiled and said.

"Remember!"

Zhang Juzheng replied with his hand, and said: "In this way, although Your Majesty took the initiative to let Hai Gangfeng in Nanzhi encourage the small people to force the big households to make profits, he intended to use Hai Rui to do this in Nanzhi once, and show the wealthy right people in the whole world whether they have any weakness?" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Naturally! There is only one Hai Rui in the world, only he has won the trust of the small people, and there is only one Nanzhili in the world, who is not as evil as the squire, and has a high literacy rate, and the contradiction between the people and the scholars is the most acute, so that he can quickly start such a democracy movement in Nanzhili, and let one class deal with another; At the same time, let the bureaucrats in other places see whether they really underestimate the power of the common people. ”

"Your Majesty is watching the fire!"

"It is precisely because His Majesty only asked Hai Rui to do this in Nanzhi that he did not admonish!"

Zhang Juzheng replied at this time, and said: "As for what Your Majesty said about cultivating the consciousness of the whole people, and using the contradiction of Huayi to rush the contradiction between the government and the small people, the minister thinks it should be feasible!" Come to think of it, the current restructuring of the minister is still just a place to tinker with water and wind leakage in the lake, and the big ship of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to completely remove the rotten wood, you have to change a new set of ways of governing the country to be the program of future generations of monarchs and ministers, that is, we should no longer only emphasize the etiquette and morality that the saints value, but should focus on emphasizing the wealth and nobility of our own people, and the king will become a foreigner! For politics and morality, it is not enough to mention; For the sake of politics and merit, the first thing is also! This is the real restructuring! ”

Zhu Yijun laughed and nodded, he was very happy that Zhang Juzheng could completely accept his concept, and was willing to completely change the direction of ruling the country with morality to governing the country with merit.

"Sir said so, when you have made some achievements in this knowledge, you should discuss and discuss more with Hanlin Shenqing and them, as well as those great Confucians in the edict prison! If you succeed, you will know it! ”

Zhu Yijun also said because of this.

Zhang Juzheng said yes.

But at this moment, Zhang Whale walked over quickly: "Emperor, many courtiers from Nanzhi came to the Jimen, all of whom impeached Hai Rui for colluding with local bureaucrats, instigating the people to rebel, and bullying the gentry, demanding that Your Majesty remove Hai Rui and exterminate the anti-people. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers of Nanzhi have come to the book, explaining that what Haigong did in Nanzhi this time has really poked their sore spots, and has made the entire Nanzhi officials also restless, and the ministers ask Your Majesty's quasi-ministers to meet with them and reason with them." ”

】

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then looked at Zhang Whale: "You go with Mr., if Mr. can't convince them and speaks wildly, you will ask them to tell them the truth of the factory guard." ”

Zhang Whale was stunned, and then he still arched his hand and said: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

So, it didn't take long for all the officials of the Southern Straight of Shangben to be called to the Huiji Gate.

Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Jing met with these Nanzhi officials here.

"I was instructed to ask you and others, why did they impeach Hai Jui and the officials of Nanzhi, and why did they oppose the rent and interest reduction presided over by Hai Jui in Nanzhi? And by the servants to analyze and understand, Xie Lier and other yin and yang. ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Gu Xiancheng, Li Zhi and the others first.

"If Mr. Yuanfu Zhang can't mediate the misunderstanding of Hai Rui, my factory guard will mediate."

Zhang Whale also said in a cold voice at this time.

All the officials of Nanzhi glanced at Zhang Whale because of this, and their eyes were full of anger.

Some officials also directly sarcastic: "I really don't know who I am!" ”

Zhang Whale only pretended not to hear.

Gu Xiancheng asked directly here: "Yuan Fu, the subordinates just want to ask, why does the imperial court allow Hai Rui to instigate Diao people to make trouble so much?!" ”

Zhang Juzheng sat on the chair, looked at Gu Xiancheng, and said: "This is not a question of whether the imperial court allows it or not, nor is it caused by Hai Rui's instigation, this is the will of the people!" ”

"Now in Nanzhi and even in eastern Zhejiang, the gentry and big families are surrounded by the people, bullied by evil officials, panicked, and want to keep the etiquette to the death!"

Li Zhi also spoke at this time, and asked, "Does Yuanfu really want to let Nanzhi Shilin be so harmed by Hai Rui?!" ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "On the one hand, there is morale, and on the other hand, there is public opinion, what do you let the servants do?" As the saying goes, the people are precious, and at this time, the imperial court has no reason to deal with Hai Jui because of the rise of public opinion! ”

Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi were speechless for a while after hearing this.

At this time, Yu Maoxue asked Zhang Juzhenglai and asked: "Then Yuanfu really wants to let Hai Rui instigate Diao Min, and come so nonsense in Nanzhi, so that the southeast is out of order, and Taizu's mausoleum is uneasy?" ”

"People's grievances are like water, easy to sparse and difficult to block; If the source of public grievances is not resolved, how to restore order, I am afraid that the Taizu Mausoleum will always be uneasy! ”

Zhang Juzheng replied.

"But it's anti-thief, what kind of grievances can you talk about?!"

At this time, Li Zhi asked and gritted his teeth.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly got up, pointed at Li Zhi, and snorted.
