Now it is the time of the cold sky of the 19th year of Wanli.

Wang Xijue, who left the camp, looked at the frosty sky and the dim world, couldn't help rubbing his hands, and then took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

This small porcelain bottle contained a miracle pill for his diarrhea.

Wang Xijue has always had a bad spleen and stomach, and it is easy to have diarrhea, but fortunately, there are pills for very good symptoms, and basically as long as he commits a crime, he can ensure that he will not commit a crime.

But now he wants to throw the medicine away, so that he can not afford to have excessive diarrhea halfway through, and he does not have to exercise his power to offend the local bureaucrats and tyrants who have not implemented the policy of exemption from forced labor.

Although Wang Xijue reorganized the wealthy family in Guangdong and recovered Haojing, it was because most of the wealthy families in Guangdong themselves were industrial and commercial gentry, although they were also landlords, but the transformation was not difficult, and in essence, the purpose of the imperial court was only to expand the sea trade, and the profits of the sea trade occupied by Xiyi were shared by everyone, unlike the exemption from forced labor, which involved fundamentals, so as long as it was strong, the local tyrants would be soft and even because they relied on the court to eat the benefits taken from Xiyi, they would be grateful to him on behalf of the imperial court.

Wang Xijue didn't have much pressure to do that at that time.

But now it is different, it is necessary to transform the ruling class of the whole country and completely exempt it from forced labor, and it will no longer be able to gradually settle down because there are a large number of its own people who can be enslaved, and gradually unwilling to open up financial resources to the outside world, so this will be more difficult.

This is equivalent to the fact that the original party relied on enslaving the people of his hometown without doing anything, he could be a master and be rich and rich;

But now the people of the village can not be enslaved, then give more money or more effort, more money is naturally to give the people wages or to the country and social investment, more effort is to go out to make contributions to their own careers, this is an increase in costs, even if the benefits will be greater, but it is more difficult than the previous way when the local master was lying down and could rely on enslaving the people of the village to obtain benefits.

Therefore, for many people who just want to lie down and be a master, so that they can't enslave the people of their hometown, it is simply asking for their lives, and they are depriving them of their qualifications to be people.

Wang Xijue was still a little jealous of what he was going to do next, and he wanted to deliberately let his old illness recur, and then it was so serious that he couldn't do anything, so that the emperor couldn't blame himself for anything.

"Elder Ge, don't worry, Xiaguan also brings it here, don't worry about the recurrence of old diseases on the road due to the cold wind."

But at this time.

Wang Xijue's medical officer Zhang Lu walked to Wang Xijue, and when he saw Wang Xijue take out the porcelain bottle of medicine on his body, he didn't know whether he guessed what Wang Xijue was thinking, or really just thought that Wang Xijue was worried that the medicine was not enough, so he specially reminded him at this time.

Zhang Lu is also the orphan of a martyr adopted by Zhu Yijun.

But unlike most of the orphans of loyal martyrs who chose both civil and military subjects when they were trained by Zhu Yijun, he chose medicine, and now he has been assigned to Wang Xijue's side as a health care officer for Wang Xijue.

And one of Zhang Lu's responsibilities was to report to the emperor every day on the health of the second assistant Wang Xijue.

Of course, it is not known whether it will report health status or not.

Wang Xijue could only get off the donkey at this time, and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

"Pavilion Elder !"

Fortunately.

At this time, Li Ruhua, the inspector of the imperial history, walked towards Wang Xijue with a solemn face and bowed his hand.

When Wang Xijue saw Li Ruhua coming, he immediately straightened his face, only touched the goat's whisker with his hand, and looked at the sparse forest and thousands of trees, listening to the roar coming from it.

Li Ruhua came over to Wang Xijue at this time and asked, "This time, do we really want to add a few more lives?" ”

"Do you need to ask?"

Wang Xijue replied without doubt.

"But."

Li Ruhua was about to say another word, but Wang Xijue interrupted him and said very sternly: "There is nothing to do!" If it is really for the sake of the monarch and the new ceremony, you and I will not only kill people, but also be more ruthless than the Son of Heaven! ”

"Unless, you still want the Son of Heaven to come out in person and take the ministry of you and me as courtiers again!"

When Wang Xijue said this, he sneered at Li Ruhua and asked: "Do you have the courage to admonish Yan directly, but you don't have the courage to punish evil and eliminate adultery?!" ”

"Is there really one for the elder of the pavilion?"

Li Ruhua also asked a little angrily.

"How not!"

"If the old man is cowardly in the future, you can also kill the old man with a sword!"

Wang Xijue's face was not red, and his heart did not beat and replied to Li Ruhua's words.

With that, he got on his horse and went away against the wind and snow, letting the broken jade fall behind him.

And what Wang Xijue said about killing himself with a sword was actually the old thing that he was forced by Zhang Juzheng with a sword in the past.

Then.

Wang Xijue took a clear stream and wanted to persuade Zhang Juzheng to worry, but Zhang Juzheng was forced to ask him with a sword Wang Xijue directly killed Zhang Juzheng.

Now.

Wang Xijue also said to Li Ruhua that he naturally wanted to express his intention of not being afraid of death in front of Zhang Lu.

Li Ruhua looked at this scene and gave up his hand again.

Wang Xijue and Li Ruhua made a private visit here, and seriously checked the places where the new policy was not implemented for the emperor and did not mention it for the time being.

It is only said that after Zhu Yijun decided to hold a banquet on the march road to meet the eunuchs and sages from Shaanxi, he drove to Huazhou City after the snow stopped and the weather cleared.

Tian Yi had already come to Huazhou City first, and arranged and inspected the emperor's accommodation.

"Double-check!"

"Also, remember, don't mention to the emperor where there are hot springs."

"Anything that has to do with water and you can take a boat, don't mention it to Your Majesty!"

"You must know that our emperor is very vigilant about water, and if anyone is smart at that time, so his head will fall off, don't blame our family for not reminding you!"

"Anyway, we eunuchs don't think about fighting for any holy favor, what power we want, that's not something we can control, the power makes those outside compete for power, we just have to serve the emperor well, let the emperor be safe and sound, and if you want to rise, you will be promoted, anyway, there are not many yellow doors in the inner court that can enter the palace now."

And after Tian Yi commanded a cadre of eunuchs to inspect various places in Huazhou City, he instructed a cadre of eunuchs and eunuchs: "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood! Please rest assured. ”

At this time, a cadre of eunuchs agreed.

Tian Yi nodded: "Go ahead." ”

When Zhu Yijun arrived in Huazhou City, it was already the red sun sinking in the west, and it was getting late.

Huazhou officials and gentlemen have come out in advance to greet them.

On the silver-white avenue, Zhu Yijun saw these people and the houses behind them from a distance.

After seeing that most of these houses are adobe caves, and there are few thatched huts, Zhu Yijun knows that the living conditions of the people here are indeed much better.

Rao is a lot of trees outside the house, but also made Zhu Yijun realize that more and more coal should be used for heating, so you can still see a large number of trees, which is undoubtedly a good protection for the ecological resources of the entire Shaanxi region, and to avoid the overexploitation of inland resources, resulting in fewer that can be left for future generations.

And just when Zhu Yijun was in such a reverie, a big man suddenly ran out of a dirt fence on the side of the road, and this big man ran out directly with a three-eyed gun.

"Escort!"

Immediately, Shen Yongmao shouted at the official school.

Then, Wei Peng and the others immediately captured the big man on the snow.

And the big man just kept struggling and didn't speak.

The officials and gentlemen who were waiting for them had not yet reacted at this time.

The prefect of Huazhou, Shen Ji, looked at it even more stunned, and after a while, he hurriedly asked Wen Zhiyong, the general manager who was stationed in the city to listen to his moderation:

"What the hell is going on, didn't it make you set up an agent in advance?"

Wen Zhiyong also said with an innocent face: "The subordinates don't know how this happened. ”

"Go and close the other gates at once, and don't let anyone go out of the city."

Shen Yu commanded at this time.

"Yes!"

Zhu Yijun glanced at Qi Jiguang at this time.

Qi Jiguang also looked over.

The two did not speak.

"Your Majesty, this man is dumb and can't speak."

It didn't take long for the big man to be escorted over by Shen Yongmao, and Shen Yongmao also reported at this time.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Then take it down first, and then try it after entering the city." ”

Then.

Zhu Yijun let the army continue to enter the city, and only after seeing Shen Ji did he smile and say, "It seems that there are really people who don't welcome me to come to this Qin land!" ”

"The minister is not effective, and he is willing to be punished in any way."

Shen Yu hurriedly asked for guilt.

"It doesn't matter, it's not necessarily whether it's an assassination driver, maybe it's an old border soldier who came to stop the driver and sue the emperor."

"Dong Chaoying and others who rebelled in Shaanxi didn't say that their appeasement was caused by traitorous ministers who cut down their border army, if it is true, then maybe he is not the only border army who has been cut like him, and naturally there will be those who dare to come to sue the emperor."

Zhu Yijun said and ordered to continue entering the city.

But after Zhu Yijun said this, many of the officials and gentry behind Shen Yi looked very uneasy.

However, at this time, Qi Jiguang still stood up and played: "Your Majesty, it is better to believe that it is not believed that it is not, the minister thinks that it is better to immediately order the blockade of Huazhou City, and the people outside Huazhou City will rush into the city first, and the people in the city will not leave the city, and the whole city will be under martial law, but it is not too late to open the city after the factory guards find out the truth, after all, this matter involves the stability of the holy car." ”

Liang Menglong, Liu Wei and other ministers also stood up and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

"That being the case, everything will be arranged by the cardinal."

Zhu Yijun nodded accordingly.

"Yes!"

As a result, Qi Jiguang sent officials to immediately drive out the residents outside the city.

The pro-army guards, who had already taken over the city's defenses, arrived first, and at this time, they were also facing a great enemy, and began to add soldiers and horses to the streets everywhere.

"Is this an assassination or not?"

Ning Cheng'an, who had served as the secretary of Dali Temple in the early Wanli period, looked at the snow in the court on the night of the end of the greeting and asked about his son-in-law Dongshou.

Dong Shouyue walked up to Ning Cheng'an with his hands on his sleeves and said: "It's not an assassination, it has to be said to be an assassination, after all, it wasn't us who did it, but it was an opportunity to scare Your Majesty not to pursue it again." ”

"You're right."

Ning Chengan said with a smile and said, "But this is most likely not an assassination, but an assassination deliberately staged by the imperial court." ”
