Chapter 88: The government of the country is achieved through bribery, and the officials and the people are anointed to please the powerful families
No matter from which aspect, Zhang Juzheng did his best, and the land of Xujie must be returned if not returned.
Xu Jie put down his hand slightly dejectedly, and the letter slipped from his hand. He bent down and picked up the letter. If the court wanted his land, it was killing him!
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others! In the end, I actually fell into the hands of my own students!"
"Zhang Juzheng, it was in vain that I spent my time preaching, practicing and solving my doubts, and I wasted my time in helping you enter the world. Prince Yu’s Mansion, you actually did this to me!”
“That Gao Gong was not as cruel as you in pursuing me! He made all these charges just to force me to not return the favor. Zhen Zhan is going to kill me! He is going to kill me!" Xu Jie's face became extremely fierce as he held the letter in his hand.
Tian is his life. Without Tian, Xu Jie would not be Xu Gong. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in Songjiang Mansion, no one would listen to his words!
He wants to protect his field, no one can get involved!
Xu Jie picked up the pen and planned to write a letter to the capital. Xu Jie's eldest son, Xu Fan, began to study ink at the side, but Xu Jie picked up the pen, was silent for a long time, and then put it down.
"Father?" Xu Fan looked at his father's hesitant expression and said solemnly: "Why did father stop writing? This is a matter of life and death for our family!"
"Who can I write to?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Fan with his head half stretched out and said with dull eyes: "Should I write to Zhang Juzheng? When Hai Rui came back to court, it was Zhang Juzheng who took charge of the matter. I drove Lu Shusheng away from the court, and then asked Chen Tang to impeach Dong Chuance, just to tell all my disciples and former officials that they should not be involved in this matter."
"Otherwise, Dong Chuance will be their fate, and they will be corrupt. ? Corruption was still a crime during the Hongwu period. Can it still be considered a crime today? "
"Since Jiajing, the government has been governed by bribes, and the officials and the people have been appointed to please the powerful! "
"All government orders are based on bribery. Without corruption, nothing can be done. Qi Jiguang is great and Yu Dayou is great. Don't they have to show their respect? Where does the money come from? They are all stripping away the people's fat and anointing in order to attach themselves to the powerful!"
"Then those who follow the country are responsible for all appeasement policies, and they are in trouble. Poverty, the country is poor and the people are poor, this is the disease!"
"I don't know? Who in the world is not greedy! Zhang Juzheng himself is greedy, doesn't he accept filial piety?"
Xu Fan was silent! After a moment he whispered: "Hai Rui?"
"Hai Rui is indeed not greedy." Xu Jie seemed to be choked. There are indeed ministers who are not greedy in this world, Hai Rui Haigang Feng, that was indeed an upright official, so honest that everyone disliked Hai Rui. Hai Rui's presence in the government made everyone uncomfortable.
Xu Jie's angry expression became fierce again, and he said sternly: "Son, this corruption thing is actually easy to manage. If you take out the ancestral law, if you are greedy for fifty taels of silver, you will be skinned and ripped off. The grass is standing in the earth temple and the people are applauding it. Who dares to be corrupt? But corruption has been prevalent for more than a hundred years."
"Do you know what the biggest problem with corruption is? ?”
Xu Fan frowned. This bribery has destroyed the Ming Dynasty's official administration. Is there anything more terrifying than this? He asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
Xu Jie sneered and said: "The disadvantages of bribery are easy to cure, but the disadvantages of appeasement are difficult to prevent. Why?"
"Bribery, It's just about imposing punishment and punishing corruption. "
"As for the government of appeasement, it relies on the law for personal gain and enriches one's own interests. Ming Gong appeases Beijing officials, Beijing officials appease local officials, and local officials appease officials and wealthy businessmen. Jia, the officials tolerated the Jin gentry; the emperor protected his relatives with the eight opinions, and the relatives colluded with the officials to support the small and wealthy businessmen! "
"The disadvantages above will benefit the bottom, the private family will get richer, and the public office will get better! Poverty, a strong private family makes the public family weak, the country is poor and the people are poor, which is a great disadvantage in the world. In-laws, teachers, fellow villagers, and classmates are just benefits. "
"I don't. You know? Of course I know, but how can we eradicate the great evils in the world? There is nothing we can do about it without me and you!"
"How can we cure the evils of bribery if we don't eliminate them? "
"In this world, there are kings and ministers, fathers and sons, and human relationships are complicated. How can a fish leave the water when it is in the water? How can all the officials in the world escape from the five elements? How can we eliminate these disadvantages? If we can eliminate them, can I leave this great contribution to Zhang Juzheng?"
Xu Fan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Zhang Juzheng?"
"Ah? It seems..." Xu Jie was choked again, looking a little lonely.
The letter in his hand was a letter from his student asking him to return the land. The words were so strong that if Xu Jie refused or something happened, Zhang Juzheng would definitely not be merciful.
Except for the disadvantages of appeasement, this posture has been going on since Xu Jie...
The corners of Xu Jie's mouth twitched twice. Is his son here to make him angry or to help him with ideas?
Xu Jie's expression changed a bit, his eyes became dark and unclear, and he said solemnly: "A government order is easy to break. My son, do you know how to break this government order?"
< br>Xu Fan read the letter again, shook his head and said, "I don't know, please let me know for sure." The people are fleeing and causing chaos!"
"Husband, the people who are fleeing and causing chaos in the country are all because of corrupt officials and no support; the powerful annexed and the people were poor and lost their land; now To intrude upon those who occupy the land, they are powerful men, not petty people;"
"What do you mean?"
"These people are fleeing and gathering in chaos, all because of corrupt officials. The officials tolerated the gentry's expropriation to the lower levels, but the upper levels did not provide any pensions, and the powerful annexed the land. The people lost their land due to poverty and became vagrants. Today, those who occupy the land are the right-wing ones, the powerful, the powerful and the rich, not the petty ones. People.”
“Isn’t Zhang Juzheng going to take over my land?”
"Not only will I return it myself, I will also gather all the powerful people in Nannan District to return it together! When the time comes, there will be a lot of discussion and rumors will spread, and the law of returning farmland will be called the law of mine field. Then we will see who dares to carry out the return of farmland. The decree!”
“I still don’t believe it. There are still people who can resist this method.”
Xu Fan thought for a moment and realized that his father was indeed his father. He seemed to be unable to find him. Who can defeat this trick?
This is, double execution!
Xu Jie had already thought about it. He returned the land and returned it all to the government office.
Then they went around to spread the word, letting the powerful and powerful people in Quannan Yamen see their miserable situation, making them feel sad, and then they made noises everywhere, saying that the imperial court had taken over his Xujie farmland. , tomorrow we will take over all the fields in Nanya that are powerful and powerful!
When the time comes to form a joint force and make noise, then Wang Daokun will return the fields no matter how hard he harvests!
Xu Fan was still going to speak, but the concierge ran in panicked, pointed outside, and said breathlessly: "Master, the envoy in yellow is here, he is almost here, he said there is an imperial edict!"
Yu Dayou's southern soldiers have arrived. He brought three thousand southern soldiers to escort the imperial edict to the tall Taishi Tower.
Flags are fluttering, and there are crowds of people. Everyone is carrying hooks, sickles, swords, fire guns and second-class bows on their backs. Their armors are placed on the carts. They can fight in armor at any time. These southern soldiers are all Qi Jiguang This time, half of the direct lineage was taken away from Ji Town and given to Yu Dayou to stabilize Songjiang Mansion. Qi Jiguang sent Nan Bing to Songjiang Mansion without any hesitation.
The soldiers trained by Qi Jiguang were always soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" Two small yellow doors opened the two-foot-long imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Prince and Grand Master Xu Jie receives the edict."
Xu Jie brought Xu Fan and his family were shocked when they saw this battle. He knew that Yu Dayou was still going south, but he didn't know that Yu Dayou still brought so many soldiers and horses!
Three thousand sharp soldiers can plow the Japanese pirates from Songjiang Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture again!
This was obviously a plan to kill Xu Jie’s entire family if he didn’t return the land!
"I accept the order." Xu Jie kneeled on the ground with a family of young and old.
Zhang Cheng took a step forward and shouted loudly: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says:"
"I heard that there is a Duke Xu in Huating. He is a man of strong temper and bright talent. Guang, both civil and military, with a strong voice. At that time, the strict party and the traitor were in the government, and the country was in danger. He was able to devote himself to protecting the family and the country, and the people at home and abroad relied on tranquility. "
“However, all the Dukes of Ming Dynasty in the court said that Hu Xiangmaoyu died, and the court was full of debates, and all the princes ran for it.”
“At that time, the country was in turmoil, and the northwestern and northern captives were knocking at the pass. The Japanese invaders in the southeast are raging for thousands of miles, the country is about to be broken, and the heaven and earth are in danger of collapse. Xiangmao is loyal to the country and is powerful in resisting the Japanese. He has made great achievements in pacifying the thieves and stabilizing the country. He is the pillar of the country in the southeast, stopping the sky in the southeast from falling and the earth falling. Xiangmao is discussed in public. His merits and demerits were revealed, he was reinstated as Shaobao, he was given the title of official for burial, and he was given the posthumous title of Xiangmao. ”
"Xu Gong has the merit of being the master of Chenji, and Xiangmao has the merit of pacifying the thieves and bringing peace to the country."
"I am deeply troubled."
"Yuan Fu decided to use Xu Gong to return the land. To stop the criticism in the court, the court has the virtue of nurturing the elderly with honor and honor, and the ancestors have made it a law to avoid nurturing scholars. Xu Gong promoted him to an official position as the prince and grand master, and was promoted to the first rank. "The imperial court is honored."
After Zhang Cheng finished reading the imperial edict, Xu Jie understood the meaning of the edict and his face was ashen.
The imperial edict first contained a lot of praise, and then talked about the matter of rehabilitating Hu Zongxian. If Hu Zongxian was rehabilitated, and Hu Zongxian was wronged, then he must be held accountable for the unjust case and unjust death of Hu Zongxian. The person is Xu Jie.
Ge Shouli said to Wu Dui that Wu Dui was treated very well in the prison, with good food, good drinks, good service, and not even a snake or insect. He just didn’t agree with Xu Jie’s approach. At least Gao Gong didn’t take it seriously. Xu Jie was thrown into a cell and starved to death, Yang Bo did not throw his political opponents into prison, and Zhang Juzheng did not pursue Gao Gong excessively in the case of assassinating the king and killing Jia Jia.
Ge Shouli looked down on Xu Jie. When Hu Zongxian died unjustly, all the senior Yan Shifan people in the small pavilion were beheaded in public. Yan Song also left Beijing, and Hu Zongxian stayed home for more than two years. I never wanted to revive him. In a sense, before Hu Zongxian was unjustly killed, he was already politically dead and was a harmless character.
Ge Shouli didn't approve of Xu Jie's pursuit, and neither did most of the court officials.
The imperial edict means that the court is also in a dilemma. The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so it is naturally very confusing.
In order to quell the criticism in the court, Xu Jie's small and slightly deviant mistakes were corrected, which can be regarded as calming the public anger.
Money is something external to the body. If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. Confucian students are high in righteousness. They are inherently ashamed of talking about profit. If you have some frivolous wealth, you should just waste it to eliminate disasters!
The words are all nice to say, but in the final analysis they are just two words: return the land.
Xu Jie's plan failed again. The imperial court asked him to return his land, promoted his official rank by one rank, and left him 10,000 acres of fertile land to support his family. His family had 10,000 acres of fertile land, saying The emperor wants to enact the well-field law and make everyone's land available for free, so the powerful right-wingers must also believe in it.
Zhang Juzheng's combination of punches was a perfect one. Xu Jie was hit so hard that he didn't even have a chance to fight back. Now that he surrenders, he can still get 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is definitely enough for the Xu family.
If Xu Jie refused to return the land, then things would never be that simple. Zhang Juzheng agreed that Yu Dayou came to Songjiang Mansion, but he was already murderous. If he didn't return the land, he would go on a killing spree, because there would be more to come. The 70,000 hectares of Changtian that have been invaded need to be dealt with. If Xu Jie does not return the land, the entire Nanya will not return the land!
Wang Daokun, who had a grudge against Xu Jie and called Xu Jie Qin Hui, was right in front of his eyes.
Xu Jie had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Wang Daokun would still remember the grudges of the past, and when the law was enforced, he could take away his 10,000 acres of farmland!
In this way, it is not impossible for Wang Daokun to be accused of excessive law enforcement and stir up public opinion.
Doubling the execution does not necessarily require Xu Jie to do it himself. Wang Daokun, who is executing the decree, can also double the execution!
Wang Daokun saw the whole family of the Xu family standing up, and greeted them with smiles on their faces. He bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I still remember Mr. Xu. The country is in high spirits, see you again today, Mr. Xu’s sword is still as old as before, and his style is still as good as before!”
“Xu Gong, do you think our sergeants have arranged a temporary stay after traveling a long distance?”
< br>Xu Jie said desperately: "Easy to say, easy to say."
Wang Daokun made up his mind to occupy 240,000 acres of land, not one acre too much, not one acre too little, only 230,000 acres, There is no intention of doubling it at all.
Wang Daokun had a grudge against Xu Jie, and he was really eager to see Xu Jie suffer misfortune.
Wang Daokun has been working for Hu Zongxian for several years. Now that Hu Zongxian can be rehabilitated and can discuss his merits and demerits, Wang Daokun was very drunk that night. He cried when he was drunk. He hugged the pillar and pretended to be Hu Zongxian, telling all these years, The grievance in my heart.
Hu Zongxian was Wang Daokun's lord and fellow countryman who resisted and killed the enemy. We all worked hard for twelve years to pacify the Japanese. After the Japanese were defeated, Hu Zongxian was unjustly killed in prison. Wang Daokun felt resentful in his heart. I wish I could eat Xu Jie, rip out Xu Jie's heart, and drink Xu Jie's blood!
But the reality is that it is already very difficult to rehabilitate Hu Zongxian. Wang Daokun clearly knows that the person to be investigated and prosecuted this time is the former chief minister of the cabinet.
If Wang Daokun pursues too much, it is really possible that the decree cannot be implemented because he is too eager to demand it.
A veteran official like Xu Jie spent twenty years of forbearance to completely defeat the vicious villain of the Yan Party. Wang Daokun knew very well that he was no match for Xu Jie.
This kind of person still has to be dealt with by Yuan Fu. Mr. Yuan Fu has made careful arrangements, and Wang Daokun is not going to mess around, causing the return of the land to fail this time.
Wang Daokun already knows what he is going to do in Songjiang Mansion this time! The Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department is the long-term policy of the country, and he will not undermine the policy of North Korea and China just because of his own selfish interests.
So, when Wang Daokun came forward, he was all smiles and pretending, showing an attitude that he didn’t want to, but His Majesty had an imperial edict and the court had public discussions, and Wang Daokun had no choice but to carry it out. Come.
Hateful in my heart, but smiling on the outside, this is the basic quality of a affairs officer.
Xu Jie's servants began to pack their things. The Jinzeyuan villa was also among the acres that had been occupied by the Qing Dynasty. Xu Jie could no longer live here.
Yu Dayou, Wang Daokun, and Zhang Cheng were all polite, but they did the most ruthless thing. They watched as the servants took away all Xu Jie's belongings in the large villa of Jin Zeyuan, leaving nothing behind. .
Xu Jie stood in front of the Grand Master's Tower, extremely sad. Zhang Juzheng's methods are beyond compare! Zhang Juzheng was the apprentice that Xu Jie brought out hand in hand!
Zhang Juzheng was about to deal with Xu Jie, but Xu Jie had no room to fight back.
Now it is Zhang Juzheng's country, and the power is in Zhang Juzheng's hands. Xu Jie is so cautious in dealing with him, how should Xu Jie deal with it!
Xu Fan looked at Wang Daokun's appearance, was silent for a long time and said: "Father, you just said, who can surrender to such a powerful method? You see, there is an imperial edict..."
"You Where are you standing! Are you really angry with me?" Xu Jie was furious and started to hit Xu Fan. The father and son chased me. After a while, it finally stopped.
"Father, it's useless for you to hit me. Wang Daokun is my father's enemy. When my father was in power, he wrote a memorial with such fierce words that he wished he could eat our father and son. He must be like this today. When Yuan Fu asked him to come, he mentioned the pros and cons clearly. None of us can beat Gao Gong, let alone Zhang Juzheng. "
"Father, let's vote." Xu Fan. Holding on to the table, he looked at Xu Jie trying to persuade him to surrender.
Xu Fan saw that Xu Jie's face was relaxed and continued: "With the last letter of thanks, the court knew that we were respectful, and maybe it would give us some benefits. After all, Yingtian Governor Song Yangshan , we still need to find out about Zhan, so we can appease Nanya Jinshen.”
“If he wants my life, should I stick my neck out?” Xu Jie was still very worried! He said stubbornly: "This is not the field, it is my life!"
Xu Fan was silent for a moment and said: "But father, didn't Zhang Juzheng leave us thousands of acres of fertile land?"
< br>Zhang Juzheng has really run out of benevolence and righteousness. The general trend of the court is that under the pressure of giving Hu Zongxian a posthumous title, Zhang Juzheng can keep Xu Jie's little reputation and ten thousand acres of fertile land. This is already extremely benevolent. Zhang Juzheng is so kind. If Zhang Juzheng is determined to take revenge and refuses to obey, will he still be so gentle if he takes action again?
Xu Jie knew clearly that it wouldn't be the case.
Faced with multiple crimes, we can only deal with one or two by speaking with facts, seeking truth from facts, and cooperating with severe punishments.
"My disciple is better than me." Xu Jie sighed. When he was in court, Xu Jie couldn't beat Gao Gong, let alone Zhang Juzheng.
Xu Jie chased the remnants of Yan Song and his son, and brought about the unjust case of Hu Zongxian, which hurt the good people. He immediately fell into passivity. Gao Gong caught the opportunity and chased and beat him fiercely. In the end, Xu Jie He had to go through nine memorials in succession to return home as an official.
And now Zhang Juzheng is also cleaning up the remnants of Gao Gong and the Xinzheng Party, such as the Jin Party. Isn't Zhang Juzheng's action fierce enough? But from beginning to end, Zhang Juzheng never caused anything like Hu Zongxian's unjust case to divide people's hearts, leaving him in absolute passivity.
Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Xizhong has been waiting for Hehe. He waited for Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and finally Zhang Juzheng, who had the support of His Majesty, passed away. This is what Cheng Guo Gong is doing. At the last moment, I want to mention Qi Jiguang’s reasons.
Cheng Guogong knew that he had found Renhe.
Xu Fan read the imperial edict again, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. He hurriedly came over and said, "Father, this imperial edict is written by His Majesty himself. Look here, when the edict arrives, it will be carried out by the commander. This sentence was obviously written by a ten-year-old child..."
The child's handwriting, due to writing experience, can actually be seen at a glance. Most of the contents of the imperial edict were drafted by Zhang Juzheng, except for the last one. In one sentence, when the decree arrives, it will be carried out immediately. The handwriting is completely different.
The Director of Ceremonies can modify the imperial edict drafted by the cabinet at his discretion, and then send it back to the cabinet to draft it again, but the only person who can write on the written imperial edict is the emperor himself.
"Huh? Sigh." Xu Jie looked at it, finally sighed, waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's all."
With the imperial power backing it, what can Xu Jie fight against?
Xu Jie motioned to his son to follow Wang Daokun and deal with the matter of returning the land bit by bit.
He stood at the door of the Kanze Garden Villa, took one last look at his home, and chose to leave. Even though he was unwilling to do so, there was nothing he could do.
"Yu Shuai, what do you think Xu Jie is thinking at this time?" Wang Daokun stood on the second floor of the Taishi Building, watching the Xu family's moving car drive away, and said with a frown.
Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "It's not repentance anyway. Xu Jie is a person who knows the major shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, but he knowingly commits the crime and knows that it is wrong to do so, but he just does it."
"Let's go to the city first. You see, something will happen to Xu Jie and he will hinder the 14th Nanya Prefecture from cleaning up the occupation. He is not willing to give up. Look at his reluctant expression. He is not willing to give up. He looked at Taishi Tower, how could he be willing to do so? "
"It's okay, I still have a few years to live, waiting for him."
Yu Dayou clenched the Emperor's Sword in his hand. The little emperor sincerely hoped that he, Yu Dayou, and Yu Long could hold up the sky in the southeast.
Yu Dayou used the sword in his hand to hold up the sky for His Majesty!
Wang Daokun said with a smile: "That's right. Yu Shuai has recruited homeless tenants to join the army as military households. This is really a bit troublesome."
"It's difficult for you scholar-bureaucrats to deal with the common people. But that's not the case for us Southern soldiers." Yu Dayou said with a smile: "When we were pacifying the Japanese, we wanted to know where the Japanese were and asked the scouts. The scouts might not know, but the common people knew very well."
"No trouble, just need to spread the news. I, Yu Dayou, are recruiting troops to Pinghai in Songjiang Mansion. They will be recruited in a few days."
Yu Dayou wants to recruit homeless tenant farmers to become military households in the military garrison. This is It is a practical job, but the golden signboard of Yu Dayou's many years of fighting against Japan is there. Yu Long went to Songjiang Prefecture and turned the tide, but there is still a lack of homeless tenants?
Isn’t this why the emperor sent him, Yu Dayou?
A few days later, the commander hurried into the Jinzeyuan villa, found Yu Dayou, handed over a newspaper, bowed his head and said: "Yu Shuai! Twelve gangs of bandits were discovered in Songjiang Mansion. , there are two groups of Japanese pirates!”
“Sent out scouts to find out, and prepare to suppress the Japanese pirates!” Yu Dayou stood up after reading the Tang newspaper.
When pacifying the Japanese, how to win over the people as quickly as possible? Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and other southern soldiers had an effective method, which was to suppress the bandits and pacify the Japanese.
These small groups of thieves and Japanese pirates are the executioners who most directly harm the people. If you kill them, you can gain the support of the people. With the support of the people, you can advance, retreat, pay, and investigate, etc. All things considered.
Yu Dayou is old, but he can still do his job well.
Thirteen days later, Yu Dayou's southern troops set out. In just three days, they defeated 14 bandit dens and four water forts. They killed more than 300 levels and captured more than 2,300 people. It shocked Songjiang Mansion!
The whole Nanya heard about Yu Dayou's victory, and for a while they did not dare to take action. Yu Long, who had fought against the Japanese in the southeast and made them afraid to invade, led his troops again!
As for the captives, they will all do coolies, and all the dirty and tiring work will be done by the captives.
"Father, please don't cause trouble! Look how ferocious this Yu Long is. It only took him seventeen days to remove the bandits' den and water stronghold that had been entrenched in Songjiang Mansion for decades. They are all clean, not even a hair is left! This is too fierce.”
“If we insist on causing trouble, will Yu Long’s ax attack us in the future? !" Xu Fan was really scared.
Xu Fan knew how powerful the bandits and Japanese pirates were in Songjiang Prefecture. On the seventeenth day, Yu Dayou cleaned up all these messy things, and the people clapped their hands and applauded.
Using some cunning means, Yu Dayou was taken care of. The court also had Qi Jiguang. On the day when the Ming army went south, not a single one of Xu Jie's family, old and young, could escape.
"I would like to thank you for your kindness." Xu Jie waved his hand and signaled Xu Fan to write a letter of thanks. At that time, Xu Fan also served in the court and built the Yongshou Palace for Emperor Jiajing. , a memorial of gratitude, Xu Fan can still write it well.
When Zhu Yijun received the good news from Xie Enshu and Yu Dayou from Xu Jie, he showed a knowing smile. Yu Long was indeed Yu Long.
"It's not that Zhang Yuanfu is clever, this Xu Jie must have caused a lot of trouble, but Yu Shuai is still awesome." Zhu Yijun took two memorials and said cheerfully to Zhang Hong, Yu Dayou is very awesome and did not disappoint him. , the navy newly established by Songjiang Prefecture City Shipping Department was handed over to Yu Dayou, and it turned out that he was right.
Zhang Hong bowed his head and said: "Yu Long and Qi Hu, we are the two great generals of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese, and we rely on them for many things in the southeast."
"Hu Zongxian's unjust case can only be traced to this point. I am very unhappy. I am very unhappy." Zhu Yijun stamped the two memorials. On Xu Jie's note of gratitude, he wrote: I understand, and on Yu Dayou's victory report, he wrote: I am very happy.
Zhu Yijun said quite accurately: "Zhang Hong, just like the powerful people in Liyang County, Suzhou Prefecture, who invaded farmland, please make a note for me. I will have to deal with this matter one day. . ”
The little emperor’s heart is smaller than the tip of a needle.
Zhang Hong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, how could Xu Jie not cause trouble? Let him return the fields, but cut his flesh and drink his blood. He sees that the situation is gone now, so he still After a while, he will still make trouble. I think it won’t take too long.”
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, “This is best!”
Zhang Hong bowed his head and said: "The darkroom your Majesty requested has been prepared."
"Let's do it tomorrow." Zhu Yijun waved his little hand and said, "Go to bed early and get up early to grow taller. I'm tired, go to sleep!"
Zhu Yijun also had a busy day, including court meetings, giving banquets, practicing martial arts, inspecting the capital camp, being on duty at Baoqi Division, stamping memorials, and reading agricultural books. He was really busy from morning to night. For more than half a year, he lost weight It has dropped from 103 pounds to 85 pounds.
Winter is coming, and the cold wind is like a knife blowing across the land of the capital, rolling up loess all over the sky, and the dust is flying. It is approaching the winter solstice, and the weather is getting colder. Zhu Yijun specially issued a decree to open the Wenhua Hall In the side hall of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were asked to go to the side hall to wait for the court meeting, so as not to freeze outside.
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty bowing well?" The ministers greeted each other.
"I am safe, I am at peace, and I am in a very good mood. Within three days of Yu Shuai's arrival in Songjiang Mansion, he conquered the Eighteenth Village and wiped out all the bandits and Japanese pirates on the ground in Songjiang. I am very happy to hear this. Yuan Mr. Fu, please give me an edict to praise your merits." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said in a very happy mood.
Is there anything more beautiful in this world than winning a battle?
"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng received the decree. He also received the Tang newspaper yesterday. He also drafted the imperial edict and was waiting for the emperor to seal it.
Helping the emperor draft edicts was the first job of Wenyuange. It was to act as the emperor’s secretary and be responsible for daily paperwork. The chief assistant of Wenyuange gradually became more powerful because it was at the pinnacle of ministerial power. , the elder of Wenyuan Pavilion, from the day he was able to put a floating note on the memorial, he decided that it would become what it is today.
Because the floating ticket is part of the decision-making power.
Zhang Hong brought the edict drafted by Lu Tiaoyang to the desk. Zhu Yijun read it carefully, picked up the Wanli Treasure and covered it with it.
This edict is the official stereotype.
The general idea is: Yu Dayou's victory in the Eighteenth Battle of Songjiang Prefecture greatly shocked the powerful people in Nanya who were ready to move because Xu Jie returned the land, and completely destroyed the collusion between the local gentry and the bandits and Japanese pirates to resist the emperor. This unrealistic fantasy laid a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to clean up the occupied land in Nanya, and fundamentally improved the sense of security of the people of Songjiang Prefecture. The court was very pleased, and the young emperor specially issued a decree to reward him.
“Let’s start the court discussion, I’m going to read a book!” Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that the courtiers could start quarreling!
"Hai Zongxian, Mr. Xu has returned the land. Is this matter overdue? If he gets into trouble again, will we investigate again?" Zhang Juzheng first talked about Xu Jie's return to the land, and he wanted to settle the case first. .
Hai Rui naturally knew that Xu Jie had returned the fields, and said with a smile: "If he doesn't cause trouble, and he and I have no grudges, we won't hold on tight. If he does, If something goes wrong, then it’s not a conflict with Hai Rui but with Yuan Fu. When the time comes, it will be Yuan Fu’s turn to deal with him, and it won’t be my turn.”
This matter, The wonderful thing is that all the means to get Xu Jie to return the fields were all handled by Zhang Juzheng. If Xu Jie refused to return the fields and continued to look for trouble after returning the fields, he would have offended the chief minister of the dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng would naturally come forward to do so. , take good care of him.
Hai Rui discovered that Zhang Juzheng's character was a typical one of either do nothing, compromise or compromise. If he wanted to do something, he would do it thoroughly and to the end.
There are still 70,000 hectares of fields in Nanya, that is, 7 million acres of fields, waiting for the Qing Dynasty to invade. This drama has just begun.
