Jiangnan gentry, for civil officials, this is a very embarrassing topic.

In the past, when the Yuan court was weakened, China was full of beacons, and the red scarves of various departments rose from the grass and raised the banner of anti-Yuan. The land south of the Yangtze River has always been rich, and it is naturally coveted by all forces. The flames of this uprising eventually burned all over the south of the river.

The bureaucrats and gentry have always been the real snakes in the south of the Yangtze River. In order to maintain their wealth forever, the vast majority of the Jiangnan gentry chose to succumb to the power of the rebels. After all, whether it is the Righteous Army or the Yuan Court, they need to rely on them to control the land south of the Yangtze River.

When Zhang Shicheng came, they assisted Zhang Shicheng; After the Zhu family came, they surrendered to the Zhu family. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, these people naturally rose and became the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Except for a more stern boss, the days don't seem to make much difference to them. The high-ranking officials have to do it, and the goods are just collected.

But now that Yang Xunwen said this, His Majesty actually has the intention of asking the guilty gentry? This has caused panic in the hearts of many officials.

You need to know that they themselves are gentry. Most of them are officials in the court and gentry at home. If there is no property in the family and no tenants, how can the vast majority of them boast of being "scholarly" and "cultivating and reading heirlooms", and how can they have the capital to ascend to this Tianzi Hall?

As for the "hoarding" mentioned by Fang Cai Taisu, this is a commonplace thing. If you don't hoard, how can you make a profit? And how can we take the opportunity to accumulate land in a disaster year?

In the past, Emperor Dayuan didn't manage it for decades, but your surname Ru was wide!

"Your Majesty." An official immediately stepped out and bowed down and said: "This court meeting is to discuss the affairs of the Fifth Highness. ”

"The minister thinks that if the merchants are willing to offer food to the Fifth Highness, they must admire the virtue of my Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to offer it, and there is no such thing as exploitation. If not, why don't you see the merchants complaining? ”

"This is the work of my great enlightenment, the virtue of Your Majesty's holy Ming. The Fifth Highness and the merchants rescued the victims, not only were they not guilty, but they were meritorious. Yang Xunwen was in a hurry, and his mouth was speechless. Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

slapped a bunch of Lao Zhu and Zhu Su's sycophants, and gently and skillfully, and by the way, buckled the pot back to Yang Xunwen's head. If you Yang Xunwen don't open any pot and mention which pot, don't blame me for being unjust.

"Really?" Lao Zhu looked at Yang Xunwen.

Yang Xunwen's face changed red, and after a period of entanglement, he finally bowed down and said, "Yes." There is no form. ”

"If a minister speaks falsely, he will accept his guilt."

If His Majesty thinks about dealing with the Jiangnan gentry, it will be a major event that can pierce the sky.

In contrast, the impact of letting the five princes enter the national eunuch is even lighter......

"In that case, this sin does not exist." Old Zhu Dao. "As for the hoarding of food and harming the people...... There is a thorough investigation of the merchants in Suzhou. ”

"If there is such a thing, then there will be no wealth for him, and it will be filled into the treasury."

"Those who dare to harm the people, we will not tolerate it."

Although he knew that it was not appropriate to deal with these people at this time, he could take the opportunity to knock on it, and Lao Zhu would not miss it.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" When Ru Taisu heard this, he was quite satisfied. Although the civil officials in the next place did not look good, they didn't say anything after all.

His Majesty made it clear that he would only investigate Suzhou alone, which is already an excellent result. Besides, with a thorough investigation of "Yousi", now that Hu Weiyong and his party have been eliminated from the civilian bureaucracy, the so-called Yousi is not themselves?

Since I am checking myself, there is a lot of room for manipulation to find out what kind of "degree".

"Two sins are over, and there are three more sins, you go on." Lao Zhu said to Yang Xunwen. Yang Xunwen is now like gold paper. On the spur of the moment, he spoke out, but he offended all his colleagues.

Because of this matter, the colleagues standing behind him will definitely not help him continue to come out, so as not to provoke His Majesty's resentment. Now I can be called alone......

Yang Xunwen gritted his teeth, and now that the matter is over, he has to bite the bullet and say: "The minister continued." The third sin is 'to pretend to be a prince and command all officials'. ”

"His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness once claimed that he was the 'King of Wu', and used this to make Suzhou officials his subordinate officials and give orders to them, knowing that His Highness had not yet ...... the feudal domain at that time."

Halfway through his speech, he caught a glimpse of Lao Zhu's disdainful appearance, and this sin in his heart was not painful for Zhu Su. After all, the prince or something is the old Zhu family's own business, using this to attack the prince, as long as the emperor himself doesn't mind, who can do it?

So, with great speed, he swept over this sin directly, and continued: "The fourth sin is 'forcibly abducting women and relatives, and immorality and immorality'. ”

"I heard that there is a 'nurse camp' next to His Highness, all of whom are ordinary women, but they have been incorporated into the army by His Highness."

"How can there be a female dependent in the army? His Highness marched to fight with these women, for fear of insulting His Majesty's statement......"

"What are you talking about, a thief?" This time, it was Chang Mao who stood among the martial artists who scolded loudly.

"The nurses' battalion, those are all good women rescued by His Highness, they practice medical skills, and accompany the army to rescue the wounded. I don't know how many brothers have been brought back from the Ghost Gate. ”

"You filthy bird officer! Do you dare to use them to slander His Highness? ”

Chang Mao had also received medical care in the nurses' camp because of some minor injuries, so he looked at Yang Xunwen's eyes who humiliated the female soldiers in the nurses' camp, which was like a wolf and a tiger. Yang Xunwen felt even more afraid, but he could only say with a stalk on his face: "The barracks are all men, and the women's fame is greater than the sky, how can there be any good women who are willing to enter the barracks?" ”

"It wasn't forcibly robbed into the barracks, but why? Guogong said that those women were in the camp to amend the wounded...... Not to mention the pickled food in the wounded barracks, how can a woman from a good family help? ”

"You ......" Chang Mao was even more angry and wanted to come out and beat him, but the imperial historians in the palace had already taken precautions because of Ru Taisu's beating before. At this time, I couldn't help persuading Chang Mao not to lose his honor in front of the palace.

Although Chang Mao is a prince of the country, he is a knighthood obtained by Enyin, and he is a junior, so he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the palace, although his face is flushed with anger, he can only look at Yang Xunwen angrily.

Zhu Su was also very angry. If this Yang Xunwen is just attacking himself, then that's it. But at this time, there is no lower limit to implicate others, let alone those hard-working people in the nurses' camp.

Those people were ashamed of themselves because they had been humiliated by the thieves. Finally, now that the hope of life has been rekindled, if you suffer such bad words again, then you will not be able to return to the previous appearance of the walking dead?

Zhu Lao Wu was about to go into battle in person to refute this Yang Xunwen, and a voice came from the forefront of the noble team:

"Lord Yang's words are funny."

"Can't the female dependents help in the army? When we and the superior were in Haozhou in the past, the queen didn't help us cook and sew clothes. His Majesty's first fiery red jacket was sewn by the queen mother and sent to the barracks! ”

"It was the Yuan Tartar who was attacking the city, and the queen also brought a group of female dependents to the city downstairs to help carry the wounded soldiers and deliver soup and rice. Why is it that in your eyes, female dependents can't enter the barracks and can't do things? ”

Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was none other than Xinguo Gong Tang He, who was standing at the forefront of Wuxun. Tang He also felt Zhu Su's gaze and quietly winked at Zhu Su.

Zhu Su suddenly nodded gratefully at him.

"This ...... This ......"

Yang Xunwen was blocked back again. Now that Xu Da is gone, Tang He is the first person in the ranks of the nobles in the court. When Lao Zhu was still a pawn, he followed Lao Zhu around, and in terms of qualifications, he was even deeper than Xu Da, the first person in the army today.

The battle of Haozhou in his mouth was the first battle that Lao Zhu participated in when he was under Guo Zixing. At that time, he Yang Xunwen was still the "Shunmin" of the Yuan Court! used the old things of Queen Ma in that period to refute it, how could Yang Xunwen dare to accept it?

Could it be that Queen Ma is not a woman from a good family?

Aren't you afraid of Lao Zhu's Nine Clans' warnings?

Raising his eyes, sure enough, the emperor at the top had an extremely unkind face. Yang Xunwen's knees weakened, knowing that he could not do anything.

The last sin of "criticizing the sages and being unworthy of teaching" cannot be said in any way.
