Spreading into the acres is like a golden hoop locked on the head of the gentry in the world.

Hidden in this is what the gentry really fears.

What frees the tenants from their bondage.

Those who have some connections in the DPRK and can learn about the situation in Xishan are the most afraid.

Even those small and medium-sized landlords are keenly aware of the inevitable fluctuations in grain prices during the summer harvest.

This is a big gamble between Jiajing and the gentry of the world.

Ning Jue, Zhu Zaili, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Xinfa are all chess pieces that Jiajing forced the gentry to bet on the table.

As Jiajing expected, the granaries in Jingshi and Beigi will be taken away by people almost as much grain as they put out.

Up and down the government and the opposition, only the Yan family and the Xu family did not follow the mix.

Cabinet of Ministers.

Looking at Yan Song, who was calm and composed, Xu Jie finally couldn't sit still.

"Elder Yan Ge, you and I are assisting the government together, and we should attack and retreat together, why are you ......?"

Yan Song raised his head and looked at Xu Jie with some confusion and asked, "Zisheng, when did the old man leave you and run away by yourself?" ”

Xu Jie lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "Elder Yan Ge, isn't it scary for you to look at the price of food outside the city?" I haven't slept in months. ”

"Hey, I said it early, I have a recipe for soothing soup, you go back and take the medicine according to the prescription, and I will ensure that you Xu Zisheng will sleep until dawn."

As he spoke, Yan Song went to his pocket to touch the prescription.

While touching his mouth, he was still muttering: "This person is getting older, so he needs to use decoction to recuperate." ”

Looking at Yan Song's appearance of pretending to be stupid, Xu Jie's tears were about to come out.

"Yan Ge Lao! It's not like I can't sleep! I'm afraid that one day you and I won't be able to sleep! ”

Yan Song's hand spinning through the prescription in his pocket stopped, and then sighed and said: "People of my age have already seen it, and when they can't sleep, they go without disaster and pain, that is a blessing, and Zisheng is older, and these things must be seen sooner or later, otherwise they will scare themselves to death sooner or later." ”

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth twitched by Yan Song.

You Yan Song is seventy-one years old this year.

Lao Tzu is only fifty!

"You will always give me the truth, does the monarch know about these things outside?"

Yan Song seemed to be happy to see Xu Jie's appearance, but replied with a smile: "As our subordinates, how can we speculate on our intentions without permission?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Xu Jie looked at Yan Song and said, "Elder Yan Ge, after the Enrong banquet, some ministers discussed to go with him, and many colleagues wanted to go with him, ...... you?" ”

This is Xu Jie's last method.

Use Yan Song's attitude towards this matter to guess what Yan Song has discovered.

I saw Xu Jie, but Yan Song looked at him with a smile and said: "The old man, as the head of the outer court, should be an example for the outer court, at this age, it is not in vain to be able to be enthusiastic with the future generations." ”

Yan Song is like an elderly tour group, looking like he is watching the excitement, as if he is not in this court.

When Xu Jie heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Does this remind you that you are the head of the outer court?

Why didn't you think about it when the Son of Heaven killed Xia Yan?!

As the trend of grain prices in the world becomes more and more weird, Zou Wang, who is all from grain merchants, also obviously notices that something is wrong.

Since the world has been a grain merchant, it has always been cheap in good years, and expensive in disaster years.

As they saw more and more people in Jingshi.

The emotions of the three men became more and more frightened.

Because they can obviously feel that whether it is the six departments and nine qing, or the move of entering the capital and spring, everyone has a little murderous aura on them.

"Donghu, why don't I think this situation is right?"

"If it doesn't work, let's go back, go back, go home......"

Hua Linxiang didn't expect that after entering Beijing, he would see such a scene.

These three people also boasted that they had seen a big scene, but when they really came to the court, they could clearly feel that the aura of their whole body was suppressed.

Zou Wang lowered his head and said, "Did Xiao Ge Lao hand over the post over there?" ”

"Don't mention it, no one sees us at all, we are treated as monkeys in the Ministry of Rites every day, there are more than one or two people in this Jingshi who want our lives......"

It wasn't until this meeting that the three of them came back to their senses a little, don't be that the Son of Heaven can't suppress these nobles.

Do you want to use your brother as the former Gui Cao and Zhang Fu's envoys?

"Donghu, in my opinion, it's really not possible, let's stuff some silver for Huang Gonggong, at least let us meet the monarch first."

Food is the foundation of a nation.

If food prices continue to fluctuate like this, sooner or later they will shake the country's foundation.

The three of them would have even regretted rashly swallowing the land of these nobles.

If Da Ming really has three longs and two shorts, Zou Wang didn't dare to continue to think about it.

"I'll send someone to the Huang family tonight, and I have to find a day for us to meet Your Majesty no matter what."

——

In the Ming system, the Enrong banquet was held with the Ministry of Rites, and the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army directly opposite the Ministry of Rites was the Eagle Yang Banquet of the same year.

The Son of Heaven was supposed to bring the important ministers of the court and the new scholars to drink together.

It's just that since the year of Renyin, Jiajing has no interest in even going to the court, let alone eating and drinking here.

At the Eagle Yang banquet, a group of martial artists drank too much and competed in martial arts, and the competition was not lively.

And the scholars at the Enrong banquet across the road all seemed to be coming to the funeral, and they were all bitter and hateful.

It wasn't until those martial artists were exhausted and ready to end that a clear sound of glass smashing came.

"You are the same year! The state is in trouble! The gentry of the world are waiting for the summer harvest to rip off the people, how can you and I sit idly by?! ”

I saw Wang Shizhen standing on the stool and shouting at the Wen Jinshi in front of him.

At the Eagle Yang banquet on the opposite side, many martial artists who had already stepped out of their legs took their legs back, and Qi Jiguang naturally included them.

Dressed in a jinshi scarf uniform, Wang Shizhen's old friend Xu Xuemo also raised his arms and echoed: "Forever admired, in this move, there are those who do not fight, and they will fight together!" ”

"Dinggong, ...... this?"

Qi Jiguang looked at Xu Yande behind him with a stunned expression.

Xu Yande, who was drunk and hazy, burped and then said: "Fu Que shakes the door, it's good to get used to it, and you have to make trouble a few times every year at noon." ”

All the warriors couldn't help but shake their heads.

At the Enrong banquet, except for Yan Song's protégés who had been playing soy sauce, only one person sat in the corner and stood still.

"Hai Gangfeng, don't you want to seek justice for the people of the world?!"

Hai Rui raised his head and said, "Naturally, I want to." ”

Hearing that Hai Rui, who was the most unsociable in this subject, spoke, the concerns in Wang Shizhen's heart were completely swept away.

For these scholars, this was not a reprimand.

It's a showdown.

Jingshi's weird and extreme food price is where their confidence lies.

This time, they did not plan to stop at the noon gate, but prepared to break directly into the West Garden to face the saint.

Only if you are ready to make the world chaotic.

In order to let Jiajing sit down and have a good talk with them.

Your Majesty, you don't want your Zhu family's world to be in chaos, do you?

It's just that the reality is far more cruel than they imagined.

Because they were still greeted by the closed door of the noon gate.

Gao Zhong yawned, stretched his waist and asked Ti Wei beside him boredly: "This is the first time this year, write it down." ”

"Whoa."

Then Gao Zhong looked at Yan Song and said with a smile: "Yo, Elder Yan Ge, you are here, the emperor has a decree to give you a seat." ”

Yan Song smiled at Xu Jie, and then sat on the bench that Gao Zhong had moved.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jie's heart was half cold.

It's not that Xu Jie didn't expect that when he saw Yan Song's indifferent attitude when he was in the cabinet, Xu Jie had already guessed that Jiajing was prepared.

It's just that Xu Jie doesn't want to believe it.

Because this is a blow that the corporal doctor has done his best.

It's all up to this point, Jiajing still doesn't care?

It's still Emperor Xiaozong.

Xu Jie sighed, and then stood behind Yan Song like a casual man, and looked at the new science and technology scholars in front of him together.

In any case, Xu Jie's primary purpose is self-preservation.

But this failure again and again caused Qingliu's voice in the court to become smaller and smaller, and Qingliu was weak, that is, he Xu Jie's weakness.

At the moment when Xu Jie stood behind Yan Song, Wang Shizhen thought that Xu Jie cast a look of understanding.

After all, if Wang Shizhen was in the position of Xu Jie, he would also choose so.

"Eagle dog! Let's put it bluntly, will you open this door today? ”

Gao Zhong looked at Wang Shizhen with sleepy eyes and said, "Look at what you said, of course you don't open it." ”

"Then with the blood of loyal ministers, it is possible to break open the gate of this heavenly gate?"

Before Gao Zhong came back to his senses, Wang Shizhen had already slammed into the noon gate.

——

Upstairs in Wufeng, Jiajing was squinting and looking intently at the scene in front of him.

"Tut-tut, did Huang Jin see it, he really hit it."

"The emperor laughed, our gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty have this backbone."

"If you let others see it, you really think that these people are loyal ministers."

“……”

The master and servant asked and answered, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

Wang Shizhen's eyes widened angrily and hit her head on the Zhu Gate of the Noon Gate.

Blood splattered out.

It's just that it's still a little difficult to die so easily, and Wang Shizhen just fainted.

After all, slamming the door is also a science, because the skull must not be broken by oneself, and hitting the wall and killing is actually breaking the neck.

In this way, the direction of the force and the material of the object being hit are very important.

The palace gate only let out a "Knock! There was a muffled sound, and then there was no sound.

Kneeling behind Jiajing's master and servant were Zou Wang, Ruan Bi, and Hua Linxiang.

Wang Shizhen's appearance of banging on the door with red eyes, they can remember it for a lifetime.

It's just that the appearance of the "gentleman" in front of them is even more impressive.

Because of the stories they read in the history books.

Those who can watch ministers bang on the door like fighting crickets are generally the kings of the dead country in the Southern Dynasties.

And what's even more terrifying is that Jiajing really still has hole cards in his hand.

It's all like this, and there are hole cards, what kind of demon is this!

Just when the five people were eating melons upstairs in Wufeng, Jiajing saw a middle-aged man in a Jinshi scarf suit walking to the other side of the crowd.

found an open place and knelt down and said loudly: "The student is born in the same Jinshi, the second hundredth in the top three of the Gengxu Branch, and Hai Rui, the head of the household department to view the politics of the Jinshi, there is a book!" ”

"Hai Rui, why don't you go up and down with Yuanmei and them?"

Hai Rui said in a loud voice: "Elder Xu Ge, because the students are not playing the stalling into the mu, but asking the monarch's father, quickly spreading the ding into the mu, and selling the cheap grain, so as to avoid the hunger and cold of the people, in the name of the whole saint!" ”

Xu Xuemo hugged Wang Shizhen, who fainted to the ground, and pointed at Hai Rui and said angrily: "Haigang Peak! You are treating Your Majesty as a scumbag! Do you want Your Majesty to be a faint king? ”

"If Your Majesty listens to the slander of you, then it is the faint monarch who has never been seen in the ages, where is the problem of spreading the money into the mu, and what the monarchs may say?"

"What can't be said about this! If the whole world is like this, who will cultivate, grain is the foundation of the country......"

"The tenant farmers in Xishan have less servitude, why do they abandon the fields and let them live in peace?! Could it be that the tenant farmers in Xishan are all fools?! ”

There was a dead silence outside the noon gate.

Both Gao Zhong and Jiajing were stunned by Hai Rui's book.

If it weren't for Hai Jui's old age.

Jiajing thought that Ning Jue had escaped from prison and returned to Beijing.
