Xu He had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he was confused about this matter, and he couldn't tell who did it.

But now there's a new direction.

However, the matter of his own assassination can be investigated carefully, and the most important thing is to find out the internal situation of the anti-thief.

So Xu He took advantage of this incident to ask Tan Lun: "Mr. Zili, I have already gotten a glimpse of the matter of Yongzhou Wei from the matter of Yongzhou Wei, what about the weapons?" How is Zhu Ming's equipment? ”

Tan Lun smiled and said nothing, obviously not wanting to reveal the matter.

His heart was also entangled.

His family is a traditional literati family, and the etiquette of loyalty and filial piety has long taken root in his head.

Before the thief, there was a hardship, Yihuang suffered a disaster, and the whole family died.

Only then did he angrily follow Zhu Ming and wanted to rebel.

But after coming to the capital, especially after coming into contact with the Luo sect's subordinates, and experiencing the battle with the Haiphong battalion, he also deeply realized what kind of goods Zhu Ming's subordinates were.

I can't help but deeply doubt that the imperial court will really be overthrown?

Counting on uniting people like Luojiao, by the way, there are also Japanese Kou, counting on these people to overthrow the imperial court?

Collusion with foreigners and cults was something he did shamelessly in the past.

At that time, he, Zhang Juzheng and others were very opposed to this kind of behavior.

However, Xu Jie, the others insisted on going their own way, and they couldn't hear it at all.

In Xu Jie's words, they are still very weak now, and they need to gather all the forces they can gather to succeed.

But a gentleman does something and doesn't do something.

Luo taught him that he could still endure the filth and dirt, and persuaded himself that if he wanted to overthrow the imperial court, he must unite these people.

But he still couldn't figure it out, why did Xu Jie have to cooperate with these people?

Just because the Xu family had dealings with these people in Songjiang back then?

He sighed at the thought of this.

Another reason why his heart was shaken was Xu He and his coastal defense battalion.

Not to mention the coastal defense battalion, the military discipline was rectified, and the action was like the wind.

When he saw Xu He, a rising star in the officialdom, he found that not all officials in the imperial court were extremely vicious and shameless.

Xu He's kindness touched his heart.

Especially when he just heard that Emperor Zhizheng was also investigating the matter of Huguang, he found that from the emperor to Xu He, there were still capable people in the imperial court.

Xu He said at this time: "Mr. Zili, you may not know, Zhu Ming's anti-thieves have broken through Xiangyang and arrived in Wuchang, and the situation in the imperial court is very difficult!" ”

Tan Lun looked at Xu He in surprise when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid that I will sneak away one day and take refuge in the Zhu Ming thief in your mouth again?" ”

Xu He shook his head: "Mr. Zili, with all due respect, the power of one person cannot shake the overall situation, whether you go or not, in fact, it will not help in major matters." ”

"If the imperial court loses the support of the people in Huguang, it will cause Zhu Ming's situation to be overwhelmed."

"If you go, you may make the thief more powerful, but the crux is not in Huguang, but in the imperial court!"

Tan Lun was surprised and said, "What does Xu Juma mean by this? ”

Xu He said: "I always believe that the reason for today's situation is that there is a problem with the operation of the imperial court. ”

"...... of this," he paused and whispered, "there is an emperor's reason!" There are ministers' reasons, and there are institutional reasons! ”

Tan Lun had never seen such a presumptuous and bold person in his life, and he openly said that the emperor was wrong in the capital.

And this is also the emperor's son-in-law, the emperor's hand-picked champion.

"You, aren't you afraid that I will be the first to sue?"

Xu He smiled: "First, I believe in Mr. Zili's personality, and second, I ...... Even if I am raised, I will personally admit what I said when I see the emperor! ”

Tan Lun tried his best to calm the surprise in his heart, and it took a long time before he spoke: "You said that there is a problem with the emperor, officials and system, what is the problem?" ”

Xu He said: "The upper authorities don't know how to care for the people, the officials don't know how to care for the people, the rich don't know how to care for the people, what is the reason why the people are not chaotic?" ”

Xu He gave an example of what he saw and heard in the salt farm, and gave Tan Lun a detailed description of the situation at that time.

Emperors, courts, officials, officials, and wealthy families all had their eyes on the interests of salt.

They even did not hesitate to collude with bandits and robbers.

"Isn't that a big joke? Your own people dig their own corners, and finally force the people to rebel? In the end, he was completely finished. Tan Lun said indignantly.

"Brother Zili, you're right, what do you think caused today's situation?"

Tan Lun snorted coldly and said, "What is the reason? It's not that everyone from the emperor to the hundred officials to the rich families wants to fill the gaps, and they want silver, so they keep asking for silver until they squeeze the last copper plate in the hands of the people. 1,000 acres, 2,000 acres, 3,000 acres are not enough, until the people are so poor that they have no place to stand. ”

Xu He nodded: "That's right, Brother Zili, what you said makes sense, what should we do in this situation?" It is necessary to use the rules of the imperial court to restrain them, so that they cannot frantically accumulate wealth without caring about the lives of the common people, and the result of this is to force the people to rebel. ”

"You're so naïve!" Tan Lun sneered, "The laws of the imperial court were drawn up by these big families and emperors, and they would tie their hands and feet with ropes? With their insatiable character, they will not care about the life or death of the common people, and they will squeeze the last grain out of the hands of the common people, although in their warehouses, the grain is already moldy, insect-growing, and rotten! ”

Xu He said indiscriminately: "There is no way to restrain people's greed in any era!" Otherwise, there would be no dynasty! ”

Tan Lun showed a disappointed expression: "Yes, before last year, even the saints couldn't solve the matter, how can we expect us people to solve the greed of human nature?" ”

Xu He suddenly smiled and said: "Although we can't cure human greed, we can solve the problem of letting the people have land to cultivate and food to eat." ”

Tan Lun shook his head: "It's impossible, there is so much land, all of them have been occupied, and the people can only farm for the rich families in order to feed themselves." ”

Xu He patted his thigh and smiled: "Brother Zili, what you said is not right, who said that there is so much in the world today?" ”

"To the north, there are the endless steppes of Mongolia, and to the south there are the Li Dynasty, Laos, Siam, and Burma!"

"To the west, there are the four islands of the Ryukyus, Korea, and the Japanese Kor."

"The world is so big, and the people of China have so many arable fields!"

When Tan Lun heard this, he looked at Xu He in shock: "North Korea, Li Dynasty, these are all our vassals!" ”

Xu He smiled slightly: "Brother Zili, you have already rebelled against Great Wei, and you still care about the vassals of Great Wei, isn't this a joke?" ”

"Besides, what vassal state? In the final analysis, they are all foreigners, there is a saying that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since it is all my Chinese land, why can't my Chinese people cultivate? ”

"You, what you say is strong words!"

"Yes, I am a strong word, but the gold in the Sado Golden Mountain of the Japanese is not my strong word, and the rice that crops three times a year in these places in the Li Dynasty is not a strong word."

"Brother Zili, a cake is so big, it has been so many years since the founding of the country, and everything that should be divided has been divided, so you can only rob me, I will rob you, and finally the ceremony will collapse and redistribute new cakes."

"But how many Li people will die in the rise of the dynasty?"

"Why don't you let these people go to the places where Yidi is, and make our Huaxia bread bigger and bigger?"

Tan Lun's whole person was stupid by the prospect depicted by Xu He, and looked at Xu He in a daze......
