The hall was quiet, and it seemed that the needles were falling and could be heard.

Zhu Youzhu picked up the teacup he had just delivered, but he knew that Yin Zhi could not be held accountable for this matter, but Yin Zhi was not really at fault.

It is indeed human nature that this case refers to the measurement results of the previous three groups of people, but since the matter can be caused by him, he can't really fully trust the yamen below.

The biggest problem in the governance of the Ming Dynasty was the bureaucracy, because the officials were managers in the true sense of the word, so they never had an equal dialogue with the people.

There are natural relationships between special officials, such as teachers and students, the same year, and fellow villagers, and there are various personal feelings and sophistications in this, which leads to the change of flavor of the originally good policies.

Taking the children's examination as an example, since the magistrate of the county and the magistrate of the school were officials in the same dynasty, the head of the county examination assessed by the magistrate of the county will naturally get a place for students in the hospital examination.

Yin Tai's reluctance to accept this case due to trouble and investigation costs is also a kind of lazy politics that is troublesome, after all, because he believes too much in the conclusions of his so-called "colleagues", and in essence, he is helping "his own people".

Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out here that Shuai Jiamo is not making trouble, after all, the probability of the three yamen going on business trips is still relatively low.

"Your Majesty, the old minister really believes too much in the previous investigation report, so he is lax in his handling of the case! Now that the matter has come to this, the old minister is willing to lead people to re-measure it immediately! Yin Zhi is an official who dares to admit his mistakes, and immediately made a statement.

Shuai Jiamo's brows frowned slightly, but he stood up against it: "Your Majesty, the student asks Your Majesty to send an entourage to measure it in person, and give justice to the grass people's father!" ”

This......

Liu Jin's brows furrowed, this scholar didn't even believe the dignified elder!

It's just that it's no wonder, after all, Shuai Jiamo is not only redressed for grievances, but also has to sue the officials of the entire Zhejiang officials for protection, and Yin Zhi, as the governor of Zhejiang, has become the biggest "protective umbrella".

"Elder Yin Ge is my confidant, if he can't do justice for me, then I ...... I really became a loner, and I can't do everything for the people of the world! Although you keep claiming that the case is unjust, Yin Ge Lao came to Zhejiang to enforce the silver ban and push new coins on my orders, and he also worked hard every day. Because the three official measurements are all hidden fields, it is difficult for Yin Ge Lao to do everything himself, I believe that Yin Ge Lao has no intention of protecting anyone, so let's do it now! Zhu Youzhu is well versed in the emperor's mental arts, and he also helped Yin Tai to justify.

"The old minister can be so sympathetic to His Majesty, and he will die without shock!" Yin Zhi's eyes turned red, and he suppressed the emotion in his heart and said gratefully.

That's exactly what happened! Originally, as the governor of Zhejiang, he needed to focus on implementing the ban on silver, but various things seemed to be complicated, so he could not deal with some trivial matters as he wanted.

Although there is a dead person in Shuai Jiamo's case, the core point of the case is whether the measurement is accurate, and Chashan has been fully investigated after three measurements.

It is for these reasons that he chose to refuse to accept the case submitted by Shuai Jiamo, but he did not want Shuai Jiamo to stab the case to the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor is still full of trust in himself even now, so that he also has a kind of consciousness that a confidant dies.

"The student lost his words, thank Your Majesty for re-measuring!" Shuai Jiamo could feel the true feelings of the emperor in front of him, so he solemnly thanked him.

Although he pointed the finger at the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang officialdom, and also hated this old man who refused to accept his case, he was not very sure that the old man in front of him was in cahoots with the officials of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although Yin Tai is not as famous as Wang Yue, after all, he is the elder of the Ming Cabinet, and now he is deeply favored by the emperor, so he will not do such a self-destructive thing.

Now Yin Tai is responsible for re-measuring, but he hopes that this cabinet elder can handle it impartially, and if Yin Tai still judges that the measurement is wrong, he can only sue the emperor again.

Shuai Jiamo's heart was Xiao Jiujiu, and he turned his head to look at Yin Zhi and said seriously: "Elder Yin Ge, the student is not deliberately targeting you, this time it is a matter of facts. You believe too much in the results of the officials below, so the students have to run to complain, and they also suspect that you are the biggest umbrella of Zhejiang officials! ”

"Your Majesty is very generous to the old man Longen, and now he has been entrusted with the important task of rectifying Zhejiang, how can he conspire with the officials below to do something that reverses black and white! Although you claim to be wrong today, it is too early to say! Although the old man consciously slackened, the three yamen sent three groups of people to measure all of them were hidden fields, and he still believes that Qian Sen's measurements are more accurate! In the face of Shuai Jiamo's hostility, Yin Zhi also insisted on his position.

Shuai Jiamo has also realized that Yin Tai is indeed valued by His Majesty, and he also made his position clear: "As long as Yin Ge Lao can re-measure impartially, then everything will have its own judgment!" ”

Zhu Youzhu has never been an arbitrary person, and he doesn't intend to make judgments early before the results come out, so he gently raised his hand to let the two retreat.

As for the other officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, thinking of their loyal and treacherous faces, he is too lazy to meet them now. Now I just want to rest in the palace, and then go to West Lake to complete another important thing on another day.

The end point of this southern tour is arranged in Hangzhou, which is not only determined by geographical factors, but also has a very important arrangement, and even changes the entire Chinese society.

Hangzhou's skies are unpredictable, with the sun shining brightly in the morning, dark clouds at noon, and a blue sky in the afternoon.

Due to the emperor's southern tour, the whole city of Hangzhou is very lively.

Thanks to the opening of the sea by the imperial court, Hangzhou, as a merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has become one of the biggest beneficiary cities, and has a faint tendency to catch up with Susong.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and as the news of Shuai Jiamo's lawsuit spread, the entire city of Hangzhou was in an uproar.

"Re-measure?"

"My good boy, the emperor really accepted it!"

"Since the emperor has come forward to preside, I believe that this case will be resolved soon!"

……

Because of Shuai Jiamo's genius, this matter is well known in Hangzhou. Now that the emperor has handed over the matter to Yin Ge Lao for retrial, then the truth is that the yamen is fake, or that Shuai Kui deserves it.

"I think Shuai Kui deserves it!"

"The tea official has checked, the government has checked, what's wrong?"

"Shuai Jiamo is stupid to read, this is just a bookish atmosphere!"

……

In the face of this well-known case, many people are on the side of the official, thinking that Shuai Kui is indeed a hidden field, and Shuai Jiamo is actually making trouble unreasonably.

"This matter is not necessarily official and accurate!"

"How many years, aren't all officials in Zhejiang protecting each other?"

"A few of these officials are good things, and they are clearly fake!"

……

In the face of this case, many people sympathized with Shuai Kui's badness, but pointed the finger at the historically corrupt Zhejiang officialdom.

Where there are people, there are disputes, and now the case has not yet been concluded, and some people have been arguing endlessly in restaurants, teahouses and restaurants, but no one is convinced.

This kind of thing "the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable", and before the final measurement results come out, I don't know who is right and who is wrong.

It's just that some things are quietly changing, like the weeds that grow wildly inadvertently in summer, and in the blink of an eye, they have covered the whole land.

"This incident shows that Your Majesty really cares about our people!"

"If Your Majesty doesn't have us people in his heart, how can he re-measure?"

"Many people say that the Son of Heaven is a tyrant, but the essence is that the Son of Heaven is always on our side!"

……

Although there are differences in other matters, the acceptance of Shuai Jiamo's letter for the Son of Heaven Hongzhi still won the favor of the people of Hangzhou, and it is also a deeper feeling of the love for the people of today.

This southern tour of the Son of Heaven not only made the gentry group in Jiangnan aware of the existence of the Son of Heaven, but also made the people in Jiangnan feel the love of the Son of Heaven more closely, and also prompted the people to support the emperor even more.

Although Zhu Youji's reputation in the official gentry class is not good, he has even been confirmed as a tyrant. It's just that in the hearts of the people, there are more and more people who support it now, and there are more subjects at the bottom who are willing to die for Hongzhi.

Zhu Youji's visit to Hangzhou this time also brought a generous gift to the people of Hangzhou, and the royal money bank stimulated the economic development of Hangzhou through low-interest loans.

No matter what era it is, the development of the region is inseparable from the support of capital, and the imperial court, which now controls the money printing machine, is actually the largest capital of this era.

"I've heard that one silver mine in Dongying is better than all the silver that our Ming Dynasty has!"

"It's true, Dongying is far more than a silver mine, and I heard that the silver mine on the other side of the ocean is even bigger!"

"If the widows are allowed to benefit, it means that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the old man will go to sue the official when he sees anyone with silver in the future!"

……

As for the ban on silver, many people slowly saw the great benefits of it, and began to support this new policy.

Since they did not have much property, they hoarded a lot of copper coins in their hands. As the status of silver continued to rise, copper coins depreciated considerably, but the ban allowed copper coins to return to their normal valuation status.

It is precisely because of this that although the Hangzhou Guanshen Group also stood up to obstruct it, it could not stop this trend at all, and with the arrival of Zhu Youji, it could not be reversed.

The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.

Just as the people of Hangzhou were discussing the truth about Shuaikui Tea Mountain, and applauding the imperial court's ban on silver, Jiangxi finally set off a wave.

At dusk, a grand banquet was being held in King Ning's mansion.

The elderly King of Ning, Zhu Dianpei, sat on the main seat, his face was full of red light at this time, and an indescribable light flashed in his eyes, as if he was excited and expectant.

At this time, there were already a lot of guards in King Ning's Mansion, and these guards were all arranged without the knowledge of others, and a genuine Hongmen banquet had been placed.

Jiangxi officials attached great importance to this banquet, that is, they came to the banquet in sedan chairs or carriages, wearing official uniforms and respectful smiles on their faces.

Although the current royal palace does not have any power, it has the enviable Lu rice and the rich wealth accumulated over the past hundred years.

Shen Hui, the current political envoy of Jiangxi Zuobu, is a person from Nanzhili, a senior high school scholar in Tianshun for four years, and the first director of the household department in Nanjing, and has served as a member of Wailang and Langzhong.

In the 14th year of Chenghua, he was reappointed as Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and was promoted to the Senate of the Shaanxi Political Division, and was reinstated as the Senator of the Fujian Political Department after Ding Wei's observance system, and was soon promoted to the Fujian Political Secretary to participate in the political affairs, and was transferred to the political envoy of Jiangxi Zuobu last year.

Shen Hui is over half a hundred years old, but his body is very tough, he has a strong literati demeanor, and his face is like a spring breeze, giving people an amiable image.

It's just that when others didn't notice it, he secretly exchanged glances with Zhu Dianpei, the protagonist of today's banquet, and nodded very tacitly.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, suddenly stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king is not holding a banquet today to congratulate his birthday in advance, but in fact, there is a major matter to discuss. ”

His voice echoed through the temple, shocking everyone present. Although it was very common for King Ning to say this, the tone was obviously very strong, and it faintly made people feel uneasy.

Event?

The officials looked at each other one after another, although they didn't know what King Ning was going to say next, but they had already judged in their hearts that it would not be a good thing.

The princes of the Ming Dynasty were all raised as pigs, and now this pig suddenly told you that he wanted to discuss a big matter, so this pig obviously did not plan to be a pig in peace.

Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, narrowed his eyes slightly, and talked eloquently in front of the officials present: "According to the decree of the Empress Dowager, today's son is immoral, and the king is virtuous, and he should be abolished." The first emperor had the intention of abolishing the crown prince back then, but the first emperor collapsed in the middle of the road, and could not do as he wished, and when he died, the empress dowager Xu abolished the power of the emperor...... The current Empress Dowager wants to carry out the will of the first emperor, but now the court is full of treachery, supporting the tyrant Hongzhi and making the Empress Dowager dare not act rashly...... Today, although it has been a big mistake, our Ming courtiers should set things right. Your lords and this king started an incident in Jiangxi, and at the behest of the Empress Dowager, the emperor was abolished and the king was the new king. ”

Originally, he planned to do it alone, but an olive branch was stretched out in the capital, and the Empress Dowager was involved, so he naturally had to use this force.

The most important thing is that through the holy decree left by the empress dowager and the first emperor, it can fundamentally veto Zhu Youji's inheritance, so as to be more conducive to overthrowing Hongzhi's regime.

As for King Xing, who has just come of age now, he is just a puppet.

Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, did not wait for the officials present to react, and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, splinters splashed everywhere, and the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the silent night sky.

"King Ning, is this crazy?"

"Let's get out of here!"

"King Ning rebelled, this is to cause chaos to the Ming Dynasty!"

……

Officials in Jiangxi automatically ignored the Empress Dowager's indistinguishable decree and fled in all directions in panic, but it was clearly too late.

"No one is allowed to leave here, otherwise they will be killed!" Zhu Jinjun, the prince of King Ning, personally came to the door with his personal guards, and his eyes revealed a crazy light.

The officials were stunned by this scene, and they froze in place, realizing that they had become turtles in an urn.

Zhu Dianpei, the king of Ning, stood on the palace and looked down on all this, his heart was full of pride and ecstasy. From this moment on, he will control the fate of Jiangxi and become the real master of this land. (End of chapter)
