Chapter Ninety-Six: Liu Liu, Liu Qi rebelled
"What, cancel the treatment of scholars, Yongyetian?"
"This is a chaotic government, and people of insight in the world will definitely do the opposite."
On that day, the divine decree was delivered to the world.
After January, the decree was communicated to the governors of the various state capitals.
There was an uproar inside and outside the court, and all kinds of hustle and bustle in the open and in the dark were endless, and the whole Ming Dynasty seemed to have entered the wind and the wind in an instant, and the mountain rain was coming.
Jinyiwei and the spies of the East and West factories received bad news every day, which made them anxious.
Yan Song and Zhang Sheng were also tired of running for this turmoil, and they didn't expect His Majesty to act so decisively and take advantage of the power of destroying the country to directly showdown and reform.
But fortunately, everything is still under control, although it has caused the dissatisfaction of scholars all over the world, but after all, the general trend is in the imperial court, and in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, they can only write crooked poems and satirize to relieve the resentment in their hearts.
In fact, since Zhu Houzhao forcibly cleaned up the Confucian Mansion, the holy place in the hearts of the people of the world, the arrogance of the literati has been suppressed, and there is very little left.
Compared with the past, the voices of resistance seem to be ferocious, but in fact they are just the catharsis of incompetence, and the real crisis has never been these readers.
It is that they hold the pen in their hands and maliciously distort and incite the illiterate people, which is the most terrible.
Zhu Houzhao has never regarded scholars as opponents, and his real worries have always been about the common people.
The reason why Yan Song and Zhang Sheng were tired was because of the ignorance of those people, Zhang Sheng's protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world, and letters also arrived all over the world with the holy decree to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world for the emperor.
This is the role of being a minister of the Three Dynasties, but unfortunately Zhu Houzhao has not enabled him so far, otherwise, he would also be an old minister of the Four Dynasties.
Yan Song travels among major readers all day long, talking and laughing, but he is actually a full ghost, the scum of the readers, for example.
Who did you meet with today? said something bad to the Ming and the emperor.
Which one had a secret meeting with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and he also participated in it.
All of this was clearly explored by this extraordinary, newly promoted attendant.
If Yan Song's true face is revealed, I don't know what kind of expression the world's scholars will have?
Palace.
Zhu Hou looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Sure enough, it's useless to be a scholar, you really didn't expect it." β
After saying it lightly, he directly threw down the report in his hand and didn't bother to look at it again.
Turning to Liu Jin, he commanded, "Liu Jin." β
Liu Jin hurriedly flattered and flattered: "The slave is here, what does the emperor command?" β
Zhu Houzhao smiled and quipped: "I haven't entered the palace for half a month, that guy is enchanted now, you go and arrange it, if he doesn't come to see me, I will go to see him." β
When Liu Jin heard this, he felt envious in his heart, and said to himself in his heart, the two fathers and sons of the Yang family are really good saints.
"The slave obeys."
The world is full of mountains and rains, but Zhu Houzhao has no worries, what should he do every day, or what is it, his face is relaxed.
Nowadays, it is no longer the era of the first emperor of Hongzhi, the era when a few literati and writers wrote crooked poems, and a few ministers could make the first emperor compromise by crying a few times.
Although Zhengde's era name is a kind of irony, Zhu Houzhao, as a descendant, resolutely chose this era name, he wants to make this era name no longer ironic, but a kind of pride.
Let every person in the later generations of the Ming Dynasty be proud of the era name, just like Hongwu, Yongle, Xuande, so that when the descendants of later generations read this era name, they can remember that there is such a Zhengde Emperor, the prosperity of civil governance and martial arts, ancient and modern, and the achievements are not inferior to the first emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
He has achieved martial arts, but Wenzhi is still working hard, this time, it is a good opportunity, if he can succeed, Wenzhi, can also achieve an unprecedented feat.
It depends on how far Zhu Houzhao can go, and he still wants to go to the waves? As far as he does this, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in my life.
No matter what Zhu Houzhao thinks, this turmoil is indeed the biggest crisis since he ascended the throne.
The people don't understand, because after they don't have to pay the grain tax, why the donation is repeatedly prohibited, there are still a large number of people who donate, it is because of the grain tax.
Now that the emperor has decreed that the scholars may no longer have the same treatment as before, then things will return to the same place, and the common people will have to face the food ration again.
Therefore, this is like an unwarranted disaster for the common people, who can barely maintain their basic livelihood by donating money, and can avoid the burden of food rations, but now they can't dodge.
The resentment of the people was stimulated by Zhu Houzhao in this way.
The gentry and squires finally breathed a sigh of resentment, this is your own death, and you can't complain about us.
You can ignore our cries, but what about the people of the world, can you also ignore them?
In their ardent expectations, in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Lianghu and other places, there were villagers who clashed with the grain collectors, and several people were killed and injured.
The matter became more and more serious, and even 100 people from the two lakes dared to storm the county government and drove away the officials, which was off the charts.
Bazhou villagers Liu Liu Liu Qi, under the bewitchment of some people and the oppression of the officials and squires, actually rebelled against the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Like a whirlwind, it quickly swept through several surrounding towns and villages, because the army of the imperial court was too strong, Liu Liu and Liu Qi had to flee elsewhere, and the spark became a prairie fire.
Shocking the world.
This incident happened a few days after Zhu Houzhao's holy decree was transmitted to the world, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't know it, and still went his own way and soaked in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau with Yang Shen.
When Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe, and Wang Hua, the new cabinet boss, hurriedly found Zhu Houzhao, they were even more angry by the scene in front of them, and their image was quite spicy.
Belch! What's going on?
Zhu Houzhao was pulling something with Yang Shen without any image, half-naked.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian immediately lost their anger, and looked at Yang Tinghe with unkind eyes, look at your good son, what kind of system is this!
Yang Tinghe was annoyed and ashamed at this time, and shouted angrily: "Rebel." β
Li Dongyang waited quietly to watch the play, Xie Qian waited to watch the play, and Wang Hua thought speechlessly, fortunately it was not his son.
Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen were frightened by Yang Tinghe's shout, and quickly separated and pulled.
Yang Shen shuddered, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I've seen the princes, father." β
Yang Tinghe had no time to pay attention to him at this time, looked at Zhu Houzhao blankly, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What is the emperor doing?" β
Looking at Yang Tinghe's eyes, Zhu Houzhao knew that they had misunderstood, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "Don't misunderstand, you guys, it's not what you see, I don't have it with Yongxiu~~~." β
It's good that he didn't explain, but this opening made several people's eyes look strange.
Zhu Hou understood it, and didn't explain anymore, put on his robe again, endured the high temperature in the workshop, sweated, and patiently asked: "A few masters are here, but what happened to Chaozhong?" β
Yang Shen had already hid in the corner like a quail, I didn't speak, I didn't speak, my father couldn't see me, he couldn't see me.
Yang Tinghe ignored him, and said in a solemn tone: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of Bazhou peasants Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi is huge, and it has affected several state cities. β
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was puzzled, Liu Liu, Liu Qi? Zhengde five-year uprising!
Hey?
No, it's not the fifth year of Zhengde, it's the first year of Zhengde, what are you rebelling against?
Zhu Houzhao looked tentatively at Yang Tinghe and several masters, and asked, "How many masters are here to talk about this matter, Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled?" β
Xie Qian looked at Zhu Houzhao and was not as shocked as he imagined, and couldn't help nodding secretly before he replied: "Your Majesty, it is indeed Liu Liu and Liu Qi who rebelled, and it happened at the foot of the capital of the Son of Heaven just a few days ago. β
Li Dongyang has been observing the emperor, and he can't help but have a strange color in his heart, the emperor is not surprised, why is he confused?
Yang Tinghe continued: "Your Majesty, taking advantage of the fact that the anti-thieves have not yet become a climate, I also ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to quell the rebellion." β
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and the little Jiujiu in his heart also pressed down, looked at the faces of several masters with uneasy faces, and smiled and comforted: "All masters are worry-free, I know, and relax, there will be good news of counterinsurgency in the near future." β
Wang Hua looked at a few people around him, and said suspiciously: "Why did the emperor say conclusively that the counterinsurgency was successfully reported to the court, could it be that the emperor has already received the secret music, and you should not ignore it, the slightest carelessness is a big disaster." β
Several people were puzzled, including Yang Shen, who was puzzled.
Zhu Houzhao smiled, pointed to Liu Jin beside him and said, "Didn't Qing and the others find out that Zhang Zhong has not returned yet?" β
Oh.
I see.
Okay, but I forgot about this, Zhang Zhong took five thousand Iron Eagle Guards, according to the itinerary, he was about to return to the court, the army returned, and when he encountered a rebellion on the road, he must have put down the rebellion easily.
That Zhang Zhong is not an ordinary person, and the combat power of the thousands of Iron Eagle Guards is not easy to capture to sweep away a group of anti-thieves.
Zhang Zhongzi's route back all the way was exactly where there was chaos, and he looked at the emperor with a look of indifference and a look of being in his chest.
Hearing this, everyone was relieved, so what else are they worried about.
The focus was once again on the black thing that Zhu Houzhao always held in his hand, and it seemed that Yang Shen and the emperor were pulling this thing just now.
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "I don't know what the emperor has in his hands, the newly made treasure of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau?" β
Everyone looked at the black ribbon and became curious.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was also interested, smiled and raised the black ribbon in his hand and said: "This is a good thing, so to speak, its appearance can change the use of many tools, promote production, and improve the industrial development of my Ming Dynasty, so to speak, with it, my Ming Dynasty will reach the peak of various countries hundreds of years in advance." β
Hiss~!
What exactly is this thing?
made the emperor value it so much, and even said such bold words.
