"The reason why I asked you to find someone to impeach him Yan Gongzhi is also because considering that he Yan Gongzhi is not Zhang Jiangling's person, but was supported by Zhao Neijiang in the past, I thought that he Jiangling would squeeze out dissidents because of this, let Yan Gongzhi be straightforward, and deliberately let you find someone to make the crime of impeaching him more serious, so that Jiang Ling can show his favor with a light punishment while squeezing out Yan Gongzhi, as for the subtle mistakes, it is also left to Jiang Ling to make a fuss."

"As a result, the Son of Heaven did not get angry because of this, nor did he let Jiangling deal with this matter, but directly interrogated Yan Gongzhi in the political hall in person, in order to show his trust and attention to the minister."

"And Jiang Ling actually spoke for Yan Gongzhi in front of the Son of Heaven, saying that he was a capable minister, and persuaded the Son of Heaven not to blame the minister for suspicion."

"And in this way, without Zhao Neijiang, and Yan Gongzhi, who needs a new backer, sees that Jiangling has not fallen into the well at this time, and even takes the initiative to support himself, he will naturally be grateful, it seems that he has no means, he is speaking impartially, but he has already figured out the hearts of the people!"

"In addition, the Son of Heaven has long been cautious and careless by his Jiangling Sect, and he only knocked on the side to make Yan Gongzhi understand that if he can trust him today, it does not mean that he will believe it in the future, everything depends on his performance Yan Gongzhi came down directly, so that Yan Gongzhi was not successfully impeached."

"That's why I said that in terms of the means of winning people's hearts, it is better for his brother to be Jiangling."

"This person does not use conspiracy to exclude dissidents, but he always makes the people in the court become his own."

Some jealousy flashed in Zhang Siwei's eyes, and he sighed again after speaking: "It's just a pity that he Jiangling has such a powerful power technique, but he uses it all to seek the country, not to make a living!" If it is used to make a living, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven may not be able to liquidate him in the future! ”

Zhang Sijiao was also quite frustrated after hearing this, and then he was ruthless and asked, "Why don't you just let someone secretly kill him?!" Burn him to death with fire, or buy his servants and maidservants to poison him with a lot of money, and no other means can help him anyway! ”

Zhang Siwei glanced at his younger brother: "Do you want my Zhang family to exterminate the clan?!" ”

Zhang Sijiao didn't say anything more after hearing this.

"He will always die of old age in Jiangling, and then he will be able to wait until the day when the Son of Heaven will be in power, and when he waits for that day, everything will be easy."

Zhang Siwei said again after a long time.

Then, he only looked at the residence of the first assistant in the drizzle and haze, and did not say anything more.

……

On this day, Qianqing Palace, Xinuan Pavilion.

The scorching winter sun seems to have plated the room with a layer of gold powder, and it is much more glamorous, and even Zhu Yijun, who is sitting on the couch, has a lot of brightness in his heart, and the haze is swept away.

"Sir's methods, I have learned again."

"How can it be interesting to directly exclude dissidents and make a lot of fun of your own people."

Moreover, Zhu Yijun laughed when he saw the question book of the three law divisions jointly signed by Yan Qing, Zhang Mengli, and Wang Ji, and saw that the content of the question book was that the three law divisions ruled that Lu Yi and others should be sentenced to be executed according to the crime of treason, and he slandered him.

Then, Zhu Yijun handed the question book to Zhang Hong: "Directly approve the red and approve the execution." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Hong took the question book.

And then, Zhu Yijun looked at another urgent delivery notebook.

This recital was originally sent back by Shen Shixing from Nanzhi, saying that the matter of rent and interest reduction and processing money had been settled, and most of the gentry in Nanzhi accepted the demands of the tenant farmers and employees to reduce rent and interest, and signed new lease and loan contracts with the peasant cooperatives and labor cooperatives representing the tenant peasants and employees.

Shen Shixing also said that order had been restored to the market in Nanzhi.

Immediately, Zhu Yijun saw the transcript handed back by Hai Rui, and also mentioned that the matter of rent reduction and interest reduction and processing money had been resolved, and mentioned that the new policy of the official gentry to pay grain and errand in one body was also thoroughly implemented in Nanzhi, except for a very small number of gentry who chose to serve and pay taxes and silver, most of them paid all the taxes and silver.

"Very good, let the cabinet discuss it, and give Shen Shixing and Hai Rui and other officers and soldiers in charge of the new policy meritorious service, increase the promotion of officials according to the system, and reward them."

Zhu Yijun smiled happily after seeing it, and issued a new edict.

Next, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but take a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed.

He knew that at this point, the matter set off by the new policy of paying grain and errands for the officials and gentry was calmed down, and his goal was finally achieved, allowing Daming to take a bigger step on the road of reform.

During this period, Zhu Yijun granted Hai Rui's request for the abolition of the lowly registration, the establishment of shantytowns, the creation of shantytowns, the abolition of road guides.

So that the people of the Ming Dynasty have a lot less oppression.

Of course, for the people of Daming, what is really important is that during the implementation of this new policy, they can successfully reduce rent and interest, and there is no increase in the burden because of the implementation of the new policy.

Soon after Zhu Yijun learned that the campaign to reduce rent and interest rates had been successful.

Gu Xiancheng and other officials from the southern government also learned through letters from relatives and friends that the rent and interest reduction movement ended in the gentry compromising and making profits, and they also knew the specific process, knowing that it was caused by Shen Shixing's reneging on his promise to take the initiative to reduce rent and interest as soon as he returned.

Therefore, Gu Xiancheng's face became very ugly after knowing this result.

Not only Gu Xiancheng, but also Li Zhi, Li Sancai, Jiang Dongzhi, Cheng Lai, Xie Yuanhua, etc., all had extremely ugly faces.

These people are all the children of bureaucrats, and they are also from Jinshi, they have always been arrogant, and they feel that they are not as smart as the rest of the world, only they play with others, and no one can play with them, plus they are young, it is the age of contempt for others.

But now Shen Shixing has put them together.

This blow is not insignificant for them.

Sonor!

Suddenly, only the sound of porcelain shattering was heard, and the flowers of a clear woman who accompanied Gu Xiancheng and others lost their faces, and the flowers in the porcelain were also sprinkled all over the ground.

Red, yellow, white, blue, and pink, like the mood of Gu Xiancheng and others at the moment.

"Why are the hearts of Nanzhi Shilin so uneven?!"

"I thought he Shenwu County was willing to offend Jiangling for this! will also reciprocate the favor, after all, I recommended him in front of the emperor! ”

Gu Xiancheng staggered to the armrest of the chair and said.

"Ahh

Gu Xiancheng couldn't help but roar again for a while.

He obviously really couldn't accept this result, glared angrily, and the whole person seemed to be going crazy and needed to scream.

"Uncle, don't you do this!"

"Now that I think about it, it can only show that in the eyes of people at his level in Shenwu County, the interests of the entire Nanzhi gentry are still not as important as his personal career in Shenwu County, as well as the interests of his Shen family, maybe he has long been thinking about taking this opportunity to annex the properties of several large households, anyway, no one blames him for this, only Jiangling and Hai Rui, he can also annex the properties of several major criminals on the grounds of helping the villagers, so that he can also gain fame and fortune, and the key is that he himself can continue to be stable in the cabinet."

Li Sancai persuaded at this time.

Li Zhi got up at this time and said in a deep voice: "Then you can't be played by him in Shenwu County in vain!" No matter what you think, as far as my six disciplines and thirteen realms are concerned, I will not give up if I don't let him suffer from our Yanguan in the future! ”

"The Ministry of Officials will not really suffer this dumb loss, wait, after the examination law is abolished, the power will be returned to the Ministry of Officials, and then take the opportunity of Jingcha to count the new and old hatreds together!"

Gu Xiancheng also followed.

Jiang Dongzhi said: "This is a matter of the future, and now the question is that since the matter of rent reduction and interest reduction is over, what about the previous patrol team?" ”

"Now many of the new towns that were originally the autonomous towns of my Jiangnan Township are still maintaining law and order and collecting taxes."

"If this continues, our new towns in Nanzhi, which are developed by commerce and trade, will be controlled by the patrol team, and the imperial power will be lowered from the county to these places!"

"Naturally, the patrol team should be abolished!"

Li Zhi said and said: "I have to go to the book again, and on the grounds that the civil unrest is over, please ask the imperial court to abolish the patrol team to save expenses!" ”

At this time, Wei Yunzhong walked over and said with a calm face: "I just got the news, Yan Gong directly asked the patrol team to be changed to the patrol department, and the patrol shop was added!" ”

"The reason is: I am afraid that there will be another civil uprising in Nanzhi in the future, and the popular uprising that occurred when Huizhou was silky eucalyptus and the recent civil uprising because the officials and gentry paid grain together all show that the people in Nanzhi are complicated and need to strengthen public security, and this increase in this expenditure at this time is to save a large amount of military pay for the future chaos in Nanzhi and the need to transfer troops to quell the rebellion."

"And the cabinet thought that Hai Rui had done this before, and now it happens to increase a deed tax in Nanzhi every year, so the vote intends to use this deed tax as the salary for the additional inspection department and inspection shop in Nanzhi, and approved the request of Yan Gongzhi and Haigangfeng."

After Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi heard this, they were both stunned.
