For these landlords and old wealthy, this is actually a rather terrifying thing.

Once upon a time, the city meant absolute security, because a city was like a threshold, when the rebel army entered the city, it often meant that the "rebel army" needed to run a piece of land by themselves, at this time, the landlord Lao Cai hiding in the city could still survive.

The countryside is not chaotic and the city is chaotic, which means that for them, the fierce ghost is directly refreshed in the bed.

No one was satisfied with the bowls of porridge in the imperial porridge shed anymore.

The armor soldiers of the Zhenwu Battalion and the Zhaowu Battalion and the cavalry of the Jinyi Guard roamed the streets of Jinling.

It's just that only in the place where the sergeants appeared, the country and the people were safe, as long as these people left for a while, there would be chaos in an instant.

And all kinds of stories are gradually weaving.

For example, the cabinet Yan and Xu sent their sons south to the south of the Yangtze River to hoard rice prices and exploit the people.

Lu Bing, the brocade guard, coerced the prince to go south and threatened the prince to make a profit.

The big households in the south of the Yangtze River are hoarding grain, grass and ordnance in an attempt to rebel.

The grain number, the salt number, and even the Yingtianfu Ya and the Fucang all became the targets of the hungry people.

And the officials of the six ministries who stayed in Nanjing were gathering in the garrison hall and were arguing like hot kilns.

"Father-in-law Mai, according to the reports of various counties, there are more than 100 merchants and gentry who have been beaten and killed by Diao Min, and there are still many who have not had time to report to the imperial court.

Zhang Juzheng also spoke: "Those who have done things in ancient times have not entrusted themselves to ghosts and gods, pushing an evil song, dare to ask all gentlemen, who is the first evil person in today's Jiangnan Rebellion?" ”

"Then according to what you Uncle Zhang means, the imperial court should stand by and watch at this time? Or do you and I just report the auspiciousness directly to Your Majesty? ”

Gao Gong slapped the table and said: "Everyone, we have to be reasonable, when will the court say that there will be no chaos, the key is that today's events have been read through the history books for eternity, and today's choice between you and me will become a precedent for future generations, how can we be hasty?" You say that the bullet pressure, then I Gao asked, who to play? Pressure whom? Do you want to close the gates of the city and kill all the people of the city?! ”

"There is no one to lead, Rao has the power of ten thousand powers, who is the court going to exert? He even had a White Lotus Sect. ”

was so frightened by the high arch that the garrison hall stopped.

Even if it is a peerless master Li Yuanba, you can beat invincible opponents all over the world, but who do you fight without opponents?

Zhang Wei, who was sitting at the back of the garrison hall, spoke: "Everyone, the garrison hall means to let Ying Tianfu follow the officials of Shangyuan and Jiangning counties first, and the arrest and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will come forward to suppress it, and it is best to suppress it, but it is really not possible, let's continue to add people." ”

Zhang Juzheng was just about to speak, but he was pulled by the high arch and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

With Zhang Wei's words, the officials in the garrison hall were able to return to the office and do their own thing.

After everyone left, Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong angrily and said angrily: "Su Qing, what are you pulling me to do?" Let the government come forward to press, what is the difference between adding more water and adding noodles, and adding more water? ”

"It's a waste of national strength!"

Gao Gong arched his hand towards Zhang Juzheng and said: "Uncle, where is the root cause of the Jiangnan matter, how many people don't know?" ”

"Above the temple, no one dares to go straight to the point, so fortunately, the people in Jiangnan will make trouble, and when it really breaks the ground, it will naturally be cleaned up."

Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth and frowned, and said in a low voice: "Su Qing! ”

"The wealth and power of this internal treasury have not yet been assigned to the cabinet department, these gentlemen dare to act like this, and these merchants dare to be so wanton, if it is really according to Kezhong's words, the internal financial resources will be returned to the household department, what a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted person will come out of the outer court, do you dare to think?"

"But you and I are outside!" Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng with some excitement and said: "After receiving the right to collect the internal money, won't you and I be less constrained in the future?" ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong in disbelief.

The mouth was open, but there was no way to say it.

Gao Gong still continued to speak: "I'm older, after me, there are still you and Kezhong, prince, like this, I have been peaceful in the Ming Dynasty for fifty years, can I have it?" ”

"You have also seen the changes in Jiangnan over the years, new grain has been found, and the cotton cloth produced every year is several times that of the past."

"In fifty years, what will this Ming Dynasty be rich, can you ever think about it?"

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head with some hesitation and said, "But what if there is another better way?" The price of this road is too heavy, it is Qingqing's life. ”

"The price, the price, the word of mouth is the price, and in the end, the thing is done, and the people are safe, right? What is the cost of so much? Gao Gong flicked his sleeves with some hatred and walked out of the garrison hall.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the high arch that flicked his sleeves and left, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Su Qing, Su Qing, even if it is as you said, but there are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, even if this corner of the south of the Yangtze River pierces this stubborn stone, can it really be shocked? You'll have to help cover it up first. ”

Everyone in Jinling City is participating in this unprecedented "popular uprising" in their own way with their own goals.

Including hundreds of officials, but not limited to hundreds of officials.

Man is such an animal that will always look for rationality and justification for his actions.

In the streets of Jinling, a large number of "heresies" that had never existed before appeared in various newspaper halls, and they relied on giving "legitimacy" to the behavior of the hungry people in order to spread their doctrines and ideas.

Among them are careerists, and there are idealists.

"In the past, there were clouds, and those who are in the world are not the world of people, but the world of the world."

"Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been the land of fish and rice, and today there is no lack of food.

“……”

Every word that came out of the newspaper hall made its way into a carriage outside the hall.

It's just that the carriage didn't stop at all, and went straight to the prison of Dali Temple in Nanjing.

——

(This paragraph is recommended to be paired with an Easter egg chapter.) ）

A fire burned down the Fusi and Nanjing Imperial Prison in Nanjing Beizhen, and all the laborers captured on the Taiping Wharf Restaurant that day were also taken into the prison of the Criminal Department, and only Ning Jue was imprisoned in the Dali Temple Prison.

In any case, Ning Jue was arrested when he "raised the matter" after all, and no matter how he was deposed, he needed to report to the Son of Heaven.

Not long after, Zhu Zaili saw Ning Jue from Dali Temple, and Zhu Zaili, who didn't know how to speak, just said: "This cell is quite clean." ”

Zhu Xizhong hurriedly said: "Since Kezhong was imprisoned, he has reflected day and night, and he has seen great changes, His Royal Highness ......"

Before Zhu Xizhong finished speaking, Ning Jue's voice had already sounded in the cell.

"How fresh, the last prisoner in this cell was Liu Bowen's second son, Liu Jing, who has been idle for more than 150 years, and has long been converted into a study."

Ning Jue leaned on the bed, and behind him was a bookshelf and a bookcase, not like a prison cell, but like a study.

Zhu Zaili laughed awkwardly.

"Ning Shi doesn't regret it?"

"There's nothing to regret, if it's you, wouldn't you be the opposite?"

After Zhu Zaili pondered for a long time, he raised his hand and ordered Feng Bao behind him to hand over a few tabloids.

"These are all new theories that have been circulating in the city in recent days, what does Master Ning think?"

Ning Jue didn't even move his eyes.

"You don't have to look at it, since you have everything to say, then there will always be one or two who are right after the fact."

Zhu Zaili just picked out a tabloid from it and handed it to Ning Jue.

As Master Ning expected, some people were indeed right, blaming the turmoil in Jiangnan today on the dispute between the internal and external dynasties...... Although it is a bit vague, it is actually only five words. ”

"Which five words?"

"Power and profit are not mutually exclusive."

"Merchants value profit and the court values power, and the harm today is actually that the court is heavy on power and oppresses businessmen."

Ning Jue raised his head when he heard this, looked at Zhu Zaili and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that this tabloid says so, but you think so, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Zaili was stunned at first, and then said categorically: "Please also ask Master Ning to exonerate." ”

After all, it was a mouthful of "Master Ning" that called for so long, and Ning Jue pondered for a moment before he spoke: "Yes, not all right." ”

"The power of the court and the interests of the merchants, they are not hand in hand, and they are two parallel lines that are incompatible."

"Why?"

"Because the profit of a merchant is not a thing."

Zhu Xizhong reminded in a low voice: "It's time, don't think about scolding......"

"Well, he can be something too."

Zhu Zaili looked at Ning Jue in confusion and asked, "What does Master Ning mean?" ”

"Still haven't gotten it? If the right is east and west, then the benefit can only be north and south, if the right is north and south, then the benefit is east and west, in the final analysis, it does not matter whether he is east and west. ”

"The important thing is that with the north and the south, and the east and west, the position of the imperial court can be marked, and those who live in the middle of the origin are also the people."

Zhu Zaili frowned, and then raised his hand sharply and said, "Take pen and ink." ”

"Whoa."

After a short time, Feng Bao spread a piece of paper in front of Zhu Zaili.

Zhu Zaili immediately spoke: "According to what Master Ning said, the power is the east and the west, and the benefit is the north and the south, so today's Ming should be in the southeast." ”

"The rise and fall of the country, the rise and fall of power, whether this law changes or does not change, no matter where the Ming Dynasty is, it will always be oscillating from east to west, since Emperor Taizu Gao arrived in the extreme east, the imperial power is increasingly to the west, this is the general trend."

"Merchants don't care whether the Ming Dynasty is in the east or the west, the merchants want to go north, the northeast can't go, the dynasty is increasingly west, then they will push the Ming Dynasty to the northwest, why in the northwest, Your Highness understands?"

Zhu Zaili sat in place, as if he had seen a hexagram in front of him, and said in astonishment: "Southwest, the main interests and rights are lost...... Lose more and lose less of the ear. ”

"In that case, why did Master Ning stop the merchant from exploiting laborers?" Zhu Zaili clenched the drawings in his hand and bowed his head.

"For what the people need is to the north, not to the west! Those brutes have done too much! ”

"So the merchant wants the northwest, and the Ning master wants the northeast?"

Ning Jue bowed slightly: "Sort of." ”

Zhu Zaili stared at the piece of paper in his hand with some dejection.

He finally understood Ning Jue's intentions.

But what echoed in Zhu Zaili's mind was the prophecy of Emperor Taizu Gao's sincerity when Emperor Liu Bowen was circulating in the palace.

The dynasty rose in the southeast and died in the northwest.

Could this prophecy not be applied to this diagram?

There's an easter egg chapter in the back.,Roughly drawn.,But I think it's more accurate to use a three-dimensional model or a higher-latitude model.,But the liberal arts dog really can't figure out what three-dimensional function and what string theory.,You can only use a two-dimensional function to draw it a little.,The general meaning can be seen.,The three-dimensional model is the P point to do spiraling upward motion.,Under normal circumstances, clockwise motion.,After meeting certain conditions, it may move counterclockwise.,But the overall upward trend remains the same.,This model should theoretically also exist a four-dimensional model., That is, the P point can be used for cross-phase confinement motion under certain conditions.
