Chapter 144, chickens to be slaughtered

Fang Muxian, who had been bombarded with boring problems all night, couldn't rest the next day.

He was carried to the Zhongyuan Hall, and Jianchang waited for Zhang Yanling to stand aside with a pale face.

Fang Muxian was very sleepy, but the dog emperor who had slept well in the hall in front of him raised his finger and pointed at him, and then said, "This is the person." There was no torture and interrogation, and he insisted that it was the Marquis of Shouning and Jianchang who were instructed by the Empress Dowager Cishou, and they were dissatisfied with my lack of heirs, so they ordered him to use the old people in the palace to burn a fire in Rijingmen. ”

Zhang Yanling knelt down and cried and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" This traitor is full of nonsense, and the minister never knew about it! ”

"I know. Announcing that you will listen to it is to make you feel more at ease. ”

After all, the Zhongyuan Hall is much smaller than the Qianqing Palace and the Fengtian Palace, and at this time, Fang Muxian and Zhang Yanling were kneeling at the door, and they could hear what was said inside.

It was the first time for both of them to see the imperial study and how the national policy meeting was held.

Fang Muxian looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty behind the dragon chair, also looked at the eighteen chairs in a circle, and looked at the fifteen pairs of eyes that the ministers of national policy looked at.

Zhu Houxi opened his mouth and sighed: "Now that the water has come out, it makes sense to reflect on it before." As soon as Tuen Mun was defeated, I ordered Zhang Fujing to go south to kill, and that was also because Yang Ge Lao, you had to give me a little bit of local color to see. Then I was worried that the sea would lock you up here for a whole day to discuss, force you to agree to try out the new law in Guangdong, and make the officials of the world go to the "On the Sea Policy", which is indeed my anxiety, I remember. ”

Fang Muxian's eyes widened when he heard this: The minister wants to give the emperor a little color, can this kind of thing be said so lightly between the monarch and the minister?

I only heard Yang Tinghe's tone complaining: "Your Majesty finally knows that it is not easy to be a pastemaker!" If it weren't for this, how could people in the southeast be panicked? If it weren't for the fact that the southeast was unstable, how could Ganzhou have no fear of mutiny? In the past six months, the minister has not slept a few well, and Zhong Degong is also exhausted and seriously ill and bedridden! ”

"It's all hard, it's all hard." Zhu Houxi smiled, "I don't know if I'm talented and open-minded, and I'm open-minded, it's a good thing to quarrel a few more." Isn't it getting more and more harmonious one thing at a time? As long as the good news of the northwest border comes, I will have peace of mind for the New Year. After the change, I will have a harem next year. The energy has been vented, and the state affairs are still handled by the secretary of state and others. I continue to study, don't worry, I can sleep more. Heyday, take your time. ”

Fang Muxian felt that he was kneeling here like a clown.

This is the national policy meeting where the Yang Party, the Wang Party, and the Wenchen Lords are arguing endlessly?

The emperor vented his energy in the harem, and this kind of joke can also be made?

What's going on with Yang Ting's complaining tone like that little daughter-in-law?

Is it fake that the noble son of the Hanlin Academy, who is in the fifth grade, was "demoted" to Guangdong and became a prefect under the "Imperial Party"?

Wang Shouren was behind the other party's Mu Xian, and now there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Since Li Long's report has arrived again, it is good to put the blame on Xu Ming and Dong Wenzhong." He only has the ability to kill good and take risks, and he will never have a big mess. The northern captives had been defeated at the hands of the first emperor, and Arak Khan had just regained his throne after two years of fighting. Although he received 30,000 households of Chahar, Khalkha, and Uliangha on the left wing, Khalkha and Uliangha could not use their lives, and the 30,000 households on the right wing had not yet returned to their hearts, and the little prince could only let the Chahar department be like a finger. In addition, there is Yang Dutai in the northwest, and His Majesty does not need to worry about the northern captives entering the Kou this winter. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Cui Yuan escorted the Empress Dowager Cishou to Tongzhou, but news came from Tongzhou that the Marquis of Shouning secretly fled south in a small boat last night. He is like a frightened bird, and he can't go to arrest him back with great fanfare, what do you think should be done? ”

Wang Qiong snorted: "It's like absconding in fear of crime." Your Majesty, since you have ordered the Marquis of Wuding to return to the north, it is better to let him go and invite the Marquis of Shouning back to Tongzhou. Where is Shou Ninghou, does Jinyi Wei know? ”

"That's nature." Zhu Houxi glanced at Zhang Yanling, who was trembling, "Guo Xun broke some hands in a few groups of thieves, and he also broke his leg, I'm afraid I'm worried that I won't have the face to see me." I just hope that Shou Ninghou will not be dizzy and resist, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to suffer some hardships. ”

Mao Ji complained and said: "His majesty is not strict, and there is no way to discipline, so that he is deceived by the traitor." Your Majesty, when the Empress Dowager Cishou persuades the Marquis of Shouning to come back, you still have to persuade the Empress Dowager Cishou. On weekdays, if you are arrogant and indulge in a small matter, you really commit a heinous sin, how can Your Majesty deal with yourself? ”

"I've persuaded you!" Zhu Houxi pretended to be helpless, "Morning and dusk will set the province, and I will persuade each other from time to time." Now it's clear, the Empress Dowager Cishou can't help it, after all, Shou Ninghou has this cheap servant around him every day......"

Fang Muxian couldn't stand it anymore when he heard it: "Yang Tinghe! How much fertile land did your Yang family have in Sichuan that was embezzled? Mao Ji! I grew up in Shandong, do you know what the people of Laizhou say about your Mao family? And Wang Qiong! In front of Zhang Heling in the past, how did you shake your head and tail and forget about me? ”

The imperial study was quiet, and Zhang Yanling was so frightened that he fell to the side and looked at Fang Muxian in shock.

"What are you pretending to be a wise man! In the past hundred years, the people of the Ming Dynasty have become increasingly poor, and it is not all done by you sanctimonious people? Fang Muxian's face was swollen and red with a strange appearance, and he looked extremely loyal, "What kind of ignorant and stupid woman is Empress Dowager Zhang?" How greedy and arrogant are the Zhang brothers? Just wait for these unjust mediocre kings, flattering and hypocritical ministers, and they are not ashamed to say what prosperous times? ”

He held his head proudly: "If I die today, I will die, the Ming Dynasty is not right, and he has long been full of selfish desires." One day after the death of the country, you will be awarded the head, and I will not wait long under the nine springs! The clan is insatiable, the relatives are insatiable, and the hundreds of officials are also insatiable! Do you really think they are all truly obedient? ”

After watching Zhu Houxi sneer, Fang Muxian's eyes were full of teasing: "I figured out your temper and pretended to be a loyal gentleman." Aren't you going to do a new law? Try to move their fields? ”

Zhu Houxi looked at him with admiration: "So, I really want to thank you." ”

Fang Muxian suddenly felt like something was swollen in his heart.

Zhu Houxi seemed to be like he didn't exist: "Don't care about this cheap thing whose hands are full of blood and sanctimonious." What you want in your life, it is not wrong to serve the country with your family. If there is no way to incentivize the gentry, who wants to be afraid of being afraid of the king like a tiger? A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, but what I want is that the benefits that Qing and others bring to the Ming Dynasty are far greater than the benefits that Qing and others get, so that the Ming Dynasty will get better and better. If you don't listen to his quarrel, I have already said that the fire of the Rijing Gate will not shock me. ”

Fang Muxian was gagged and dragged away like this, he only felt that his blood was surging, and his unsmooth breathing and his body and spirit, which had been tired all night, rushed up, and he screamed more and more sullenly for a while.

These dog emperors and flattering courtiers who talk about benefits nakedly!

In the imperial study, Zhu Houxi looked at Zhang Yanling, who was sitting at the door: "Jianchanghou, are you relieved?" I and Zhongqing have heard it, this Fang Muxian is a madman. But you, you must never be deceived by such traitors again. I actually want to burn me to death, this is the crime of the Nine Clans! ”

"The minister understands, the minister must be vigilant, the minister ...... Thank you for your majesty's grace not to kill...... His Majesty Shengming ......"

Zhang Yanling kowtowed repeatedly at the door, so frightened that he was incoherent.

If the smell came in, Zhu Houxi frowned: "Go back, think about how to act in the future." Huang Jin, behind closed doors. ”

Zhang Yanling continued to kowtow, and the door of the Central Hall slowly closed in front of him.

Then, Gao Zhong walked up to him and said lightly: "Jianchanghou, don't knock, Your Majesty asked you to go back to the house, and the slaves and maids have to clean up here." ”

"Yes...... Be...... I'm going back...... Tired father-in-law...... Let my father-in-law smile......"

Gao Zhong raised his sleeves to cover his nose, and watched Zhang Yanling, who was flying and domineering in the palace back then, staggering away, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

Then there was some sighing and resentment: If it weren't for the shit luck of a sister, such a waste would have been killed for a long time!

In the imperial study, the ministers who tacitly finished a scene to make Fang Muxian break the defense, and at this time they felt that they were also played by the emperor with Fang Muxian.

Fang Muxian, who was open-mouthed, how many naked words did he say?

Although the intention was still to provoke the monarch and ministers, the emperor heard those words after all.

Zhu Houxi was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "It's just that the vassal king is the successor, and he just wants to implement a new law to enrich the country and seek governance, so that such ignorant and rebellious people can take advantage of the situation everywhere to fan the flames, so that the monarch and the ministers will deal with the enemy for several months." It can be seen from this that the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty are so stubborn, I know it, and I also know it. As soon as the report came, before the truth was ascertained, it could only be inferred in this way, so he fell into this person's so-called conspiracy. ”

Fifteen men were silent.

If it weren't really clear how many problems there were at the local level, where would it feel like there was an incomparably large interest group just because of the killing of officials in the southeast?

Can this be said to be a new law?

Although they all felt that what Yuan Zonggao said made sense at that time, and those people in the local area were not so bold, but what if?

In other words, they actually have the strength to make trouble, it depends on whether they have the courage to make trouble.

The benefits of the Ming Dynasty have indeed fallen into the hands of so many people, and the people are indeed struggling to make a living.

There are a bit of natural and man-made disasters, and it is easy to be a million displaced people, and from time to time there are people who gather to become bandits, and even put up flags to rebel.

Zhu Houxi laughed again: "This matter is not without benefit, in my opinion, it is a drill. ”

Yang Tinghe looked at him, only to see that his eyes were bright and said: "I asked why I am rich in the country, and I want to come to Qing and others to think about it now." With a slight new move, under the teasation of this person, the world will be panicked, in the final analysis, because of money. Where the benefits lie, who will do what for what things, I can see more clearly now. In the future, if there is such a report in the local area, I will no longer be easily guided to make any will. If Guangdong's new law is really effective in five years, it is better to make thorough preparations when it is implemented in the future. ”

Zhu Houxi paused for a moment and said: "The contradiction between self-interest and national interest is not easy to find a way to reconcile. If the people are exploited too much, more and more people will eventually go to the road of death. The more people who take wealth and have no way, the more people in the world will be unjust. This Fang Muxian, his origin, I have already tried some of it, and I will continue to try it next. One thing can be confirmed, they are in the Ming Dynasty, but they are in collusion with the Japanese Invaders. Needless to say, I also know the key. ”

Under the ban of the sea, there are also merchants and thieves, how can you sit here not know?

Another sharp word. Under the sea ban, those who are protected dare to go into the sea to take advantage of the huge profits. Since they are all forbidden to go to the sea, how dare they file any grievances if they are robbed?

As they become more and more bold, they dare to collude with something again, invade the shore, grab something, and get rid of something.

"I'm in a hurry, I know." Zhu Houxi said again, "Just as Zhang Heling was dizzy and used Fang Muxian's plan to burn a fire in Rijingmen, it is inconvenient for me to deal with him now." But what to do in the future, when discussing the national policy for the next three years and the national policy for next year before the New Year's Day, the secretary and others need to think carefully. ”

He looked at the ministers with sharp eyes: "I don't want five or ten years from now, the Ming Dynasty will still be able to give such a chance to these rats. ”

“…… The ministers will put on their hearts and souls to relieve your majesty's worries. ”

"After the investigation of this case is clear, the newspaper will be transmitted to the provinces." Zhu Houxi nodded, "The matter involves the Empress Dowager Cishou, so I will only order the Jinyi Wei trial to be concluded and leave a decent one." In addition, these people are good at demagoguery, how should the provincial magistrates admonish their provincial scholars in the future? Don't learn to cultivate your family with a righteous heart, but you are pointing out the country and talking about how to govern the country and level the world every day. ”

“…… Be. ”

After all, this case was played by him again, but who let Jiangnan Shizi make Taizong Yifang filial piety and ten clans into discussions?

……

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't know how many years she hadn't been out of the palace, but this time she had to go for the sake of her own brother.

But who would have expected that after the people arrived in Tongzhou, although the Zhang family's convoy and domestic servants were there, Zhang Heling ran away as early as last night?

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at her "brother-in-law" Cui Yuan, and said in a panic: "Cui Yuma, Heling is cowardly, you must not report that you are afraid of crime and abscond!" ”

Cui Yuan didn't know how His Majesty made her have to come to "persuade" in person, he could only say helplessly: "I don't know where Hou Ye is hiding now." Queen Mother, it's cold, your phoenix body matters. It's better to rest for a night, and tomorrow the minister will send you back first. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was afraid to find it in the back, and her younger brother was frightened and moved the knife soldier to really become an assassin and a thief.

"Cui Juma, Yongkang is what I grew up watching since I was a child." She pleaded, "Tell him no matter what, Your Majesty has found out the truth, and Heling is just being deceived by that cheap servant." I waited here, and when I found him, if he didn't believe me, I went and told him myself. You can't use force, you can't! ”

"How can Luan Jia live here for a long time? Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty instructed the ministers not to hurt the Hou Ye. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang's tears fell: she was afraid that under the unclear situation, the fool would use force, and even be afraid of being tortured and committing suicide.

"Dai Ping, you must help me. I still have a few imperial villages, and I can give them to Yongkang when I go back......"

"Queen Mother, how can the ministers not do their best? Why? "Cui Yuan's head is big," Your Majesty is benevolent and filial piety, if you really want to ignore it, why do you need to invite Hou Ye back to Beijing like this?" Please don't worry about the Queen Mother, before the New Year's Day, you will find the Hou Ye to return safely. ”

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless......" What can Empress Dowager Zhang do?

In this cold and freezing outside the palace, she was destined to endure the bumps and worries of last night's bumps on the road, and the reminders after tonight and tomorrow.

But what's the solution? It was her own brother.

That fire was really set by that idiot, so what can be done?

The emperor can say that, and the Empress Dowager Zhang can no longer ask for anything. Without Zhang Heling's seal letter waist card for the cheap servant's contact, how could the cheap servant spread the news to the palace?

Empress Dowager Zhang knew this, maybe some of the palace maids and eunuchs who were investigated with Yuan Jinsheng had already confessed.

If Zhang Heling didn't know, no matter how stupid he was, he would have known to kill that cheap servant earlier!

With Empress Dowager Zhang's limited intelligence, she couldn't understand many of the subtleties.

She only knew that the emperor must be very sure, and felt that only when she came, the fool would dare to believe it, and she would not desperately resist arrest and flee.

O iniquity!

In the future, whether it is himself or not, and both brothers are also just chickens to be slaughtered, if the emperor wants to.

Cui Yuan had actually received the news that he had arrived here from Beijing in the afternoon.

He knew where Zhang Heling was hiding.

But the order was for Guo Xun to arrest him back.

It's not in the capital, not many people see the officers and soldiers using swords against Shouning Hou, right?

As the head of the Left Army, as a military minister who participated in the national policy meeting, and as the "chief military officer" who was supposed to go to the southeast to suppress bandits, Cui Yuan sent people to send the general order and the customs along the way.

But Guo Xun won't be red-eyed, he really takes Zhang Heling as a credit, right?

Empress Dowager Zhang is like this, Zhang Heling has such a handle, and it will be at His Majesty's disposal at the right time in the future.

I have been in the imperial study for more than a month, and I have to grow a little and know how to measure!

In the Jinyi Guard's prison, Fang Muxian's preferential treatment was finally gone.

And his "godsons" have already been arrested three.

"One of them committed suicide simply, and the other two stayed next to Shouninghou, and I don't know if they will encourage him to fight to the death." Luo An asked him with a smile, "There are too many ways for Jinyiwei to torture you and not let you die, if you want to bite your tongue, it's not easy." Commander Ben doesn't need to ask you anything now, His Majesty said that he knows everything he should know, and the rest of those little thieves will miss a few and forget it. However, you, the remnant of the Fang family who can speak and be righteous and awe-inspiring, will raise you to be fat and fat when the time comes, and let the people in the southeast who have been plagued by the Japanese invaders see it. is a loyal martyr, and there are some descendants who have lost their conscience. ”

Fang Muxian's eyes were cracked, and he no longer had the previous chic calmness.

Luo An felt that he had learned two essences, that is, he kept chatting with him, and talked about him until his heart collapsed.

But only if you can talk about his sore spots.

"You're just afraid that you don't know, Zhu Yunming, who wrote "Wild Notes", set off from Guangdong at the end of last month. One of the four great talents in Wuzhong, you will pick people. But I don't know if the Jiangnan scholars know that you deliberately created a momentum, so that Your Majesty has been prejudiced against Jiangnan scholars since then, and it will be difficult to take the imperial examination and promotion in the future, so how will you talk about your ancestors? Your Majesty said, "You understand people's hearts." You get the idea, right? ”

"By the way, there is also the old Shige who is presiding over the revision of a volume of "Da Ming Zhong Yu Jian", you have made such great achievements now, there will still be a stroke in the history books, and this commander is very envious." Luo An shook his head, "It's just that your godson, whose name is Zhong, is not loyal!" I recruited it before, saying that you have a son, and you will have to take the township test next year. I heard that it is still the unicorn that I just got it, tsk, it is really full of loyalty! ”

"Hmm!! Not!!! ”

Fang Muxian, who was injected with needles and wooden walnuts, could only endure the pain all over his body and roared angrily.

"I want to learn from you. You are obviously a person who has lost all your conscience, why can you feel that you are doing the right thing for heaven? When you don't hurt anymore, tell me okay? ”

Fang Muxian was speechless, he just wanted to die early now.

The fast horse galloped in the south of Beizhili and headed for the temporary camp of the Chinese army in the Shenji Battalion.

Zhang Yong had already arrived at Xuanfu and would have to continue walking west for many days to reach Ganzhou. After killing Li Long and finding out the truth, His Majesty wants this shock!

Zhu Yunming had already entered the canal, and it was getting colder and colder.

Zhang Fujing wrote the most important letter in warmer Guangdong.

The clearing of the land is only the beginning, and the hidden fields that have been cleared out account for only a very small part.

A large amount of land, which has black and white trading documents, how can it be forcibly taken?

Officials, officials, and lifters...... The intricacies of all kinds of people are exempted from forced labor, so many things to do in Guangdong, just use so many poor people?

There is also a vacancy in the guard, and two taels of silver needed to recruit soldiers......

The southeast matter is not clear, and Zhang Fujing knows that he can't cause trouble to His Majesty.

However, since the victory in Tuen Mun at the end of September, Zhang Fujing has become more aware of the difficulties of the new law.

All difficulties come down to a word for money!

Once again, the fire of the Rijing Gate and Fang Muxian are just my own interpretations, and they do not represent my true view of the other party's filial piety. The plot requires, the choice of the protagonist will bring about a chain reaction, the reform will face great difficulties, the emperor can only make decisions based on known information when he is far away from the place, and the real emperor's perspective is full of conspiracies.
