Chapter 336: My heart illuminates the moon, but the moon illuminates the ditch
The offline monarchy is not uncommon in the history of the Central Plains dynasties.
Some powerful ministers eclipsed the emperor, and the emperor became the symbol of the dynasty, ruling without governing. All the power of the dynasty was completely owned by the powerful ministers. This type of emperor began from the second generation of Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai, It has never been cut off, such as Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, etc. What is more interesting is the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties.
In addition to Sima Yan, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, the second emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty was Emperor Hui of Jin. He was born stupid and was the one who said why not eat minced meat. The third and fourth emperors of Jin Emperor Huai and Emperor Min of Jin were both captured by the Huns.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty had a total of eleven emperors and a total of ten puppets, one of which was deposed, focusing on an offline monarchy system.
The Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties are really not worthy of a unified dynasty, nor of the concept of an empire. They have a total of fifteen emperors, and only Sima Yan is still an emperor. He is either stupid or arrested, or he is ignored. , he didn’t even need to stamp it.
The Ming Dynasty's offline monarchy system is different from the previous generation's monarchy offline system. Dao Ye overcame the ultimate difficulty, Emperor Longqing gave up on his own initiative, and Emperor Wanli took the initiative.
The offline monarchy system of Emperor Dao and Longqing is not the kind that cannot be read back. They pay no attention to state affairs. They give their decision-making power to the chief ministers of the cabinet in the DPRK to exercise power. .
Master Dao and Emperor Longqing only exercised personnel power.
The monarch, the symbol of the dynasty, rules but does not rule, but has the power to appoint the prime minister. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Gao Gong were all appointed by the imperial power and dismissed because of the imperial power.
The cabinet, Wenyuan Pavilion, is the center of power, the intersection of civil and military affairs, and is the embodiment of power itself. Whoever is the master of Wenyuan Pavilion controls the power.
Yuanfu, the administrative center and brain, has the power to participate in political discussions and decision-making. He is responsible for presiding over cabinet meetings, integrating the opinions of cabinet elders and courtiers, reaching consensus, and exercising decision-making power.
Yanguan, the specific embodiment of the power of error correction, is responsible for correcting the wrong decisions made by the cabinet and the emperor, supervising and restricting the correct exercise of power by the cabinet, Yuan Fu, and the king, and the censor and the six subjects granting titles to the officials in the matter. The right to refute matters was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and cabinet elders and court officials were responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials.
Isn’t the operational logic of the king, cabinet, Yuanfu, and Yanguan the center of the court a practice of a constitutional monarchy?
Isn’t the Constitution of the Ming Dynasty the legal system established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the law established by ancestors?
As time went by, loopholes appeared in this set of legal systems, which had to be repaired. During the Wanli period, it finally became the "Da Ming Hui Dian". Isn't this the constitution of the Ming Dynasty?
So, Zhang Juzheng’s lifelong regret is not that he was liquidated by his disciples. For such a smart person, Zhang Juzheng probably thought of his own fate. His biggest regret was that while he was alive, His system design for the unfinished "Da Ming Huidian" was probably to establish a system that could smoothly perform the functions of the court even if the emperor was ignorant.
The Ming Dynasty Hui Dian is a rule agreed by the emperor, the court, foreign officials, and the people of the world. It is also the legal system that the Ming Dynasty has tinkered with, and it is the top-down power of the Ming Dynasty.
In the year of Zhang Juzheng and Ding You, Zhu Yijun still asked every volume of the Daming Huidian to be sent to the Yicheng uncle's house for personal correction by Zhang Juzheng.
The Ming Dynasty, a country with a lot of experience in the offline monarchy, has finally transferred this experience to Ryukyu.
During this process, Zhu Yijun appeared to be extremely ugly, using threats and inducements, using all possible means, without caring about face. If Shang Jiu showed the slightest bit of unwillingness to settle down and become a rich man, Zhu Yijun would definitely not do it. Keep him alive.
"Declare the decree." Zhu Yijun said calmly to Feng Bao.
Feng Bao took a step forward and flicked the fly whisk. The small yellow door opened the imperial edict. He raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven. The edict says:"
"I respectfully accept it. Destiny is born in many directions, and it is in the corner of the sea. It does not lead to anything, and the teachings are over, but the celebration is the same. The country of Ryukyu is in the southeast, and it has been called a country of courtesy and righteousness for generations. Since the Hongwu Five Dynasties. It has been 206 years since Yang Zai, the eunuch who was dispatched in the year, has been granted the title of King of Zhongshan. He will not go unless he is a Jinshi, he will not go unless he is well-educated, and he will not go unless he is an excellent supporter. He has been granted fourteen times of favor. You have always abided by the king's seal and been careful and fearless. "Loyalty Mao, call me Youjia"
This is the history of the Ming Dynasty and Ryukyu. Starting from the canonization of Zhongshan King in the fifth year of Hongwu, there were a total of fourteen canonizations from the Ming Dynasty to the sixth year of Wanli. The Ming Dynasty selected those who had far-reaching knowledge, knowledge, and excellent articles as envoys. The envoys who went to be canonized were all Jinshi, and the standards sent by the Ming Dynasty to Ryukyu were extremely high. In the Ming Dynasty, they would all be promoted and reused, and the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to their mission to Ryukyu.
“Today the sea is uneasy, Ryukyu is uneasy, and the Japanese pirates are wreaking havoc among the fences. I feel pain in my heart. At your king’s request, I cannot bear to live in peace, and send the king’s troops to stabilize and bring peace.”
"In the past, Japan was a small country, living near the sea, living close to China, relying on Chinese etiquette and education, China passing on friendly love, and Japan responded with the behavior of beasts."
"Fangyuan The land, especially the owners of ten families, is a land thousands of miles away, how can it be called an unowned surname? Although Ryukyu is an isolated island in the sea, it originally belongs to China, and the people who live and multiply are Han people. However, the neighbors are bandits who want to annex them to the land. Therefore, they are suspected of living in a despicable environment and causing trouble out of nothing. "
"The Japanese do not want to repay each other with dripping water and flowing springs. They commit crimes and steal our fence. They repeatedly cause chaos and pollute the southeast. Their crimes are carved on bamboo and cut down Nanshan. The Ming Dynasty is lucky enough to have the unification of its rulers and ministers, the efforts of thousands of people, and the common virtues of all superiors and subordinates. The white sails of the navy move in the clouds, and the autumn geese avoid it. The drums beat the hammers in fright. , then the spring thunder is hidden. Since the Japanese are not willing to break the tiles, how can I complete the beautiful jade? Since the thieves want to attack with a sharp blade, how can I sit still and wait for death? "
This is a promise and a message.
Since Shangjiu decided not to leave, what kind of promise did the Ming Emperor get in exchange for Shangjiu not leaving? Naturally, it is Pingwo’s promise.
It was the Japanese pirates who provoked Ming Dynasty first!
Since the 20th year of Jiajing, the Japanese invasion has spread all over the southeast, wives and children have been scattered, and people have died on the roadside!
The Ming Dynasty worked hard to govern, the navy was mighty, the sailboats moved forward among the white clouds, even the autumn geese had to give way, the war drums on the ships beat, even the rolling thunder was blocked, the Ming Dynasty took over the territory of Ryukyu, not Harvest in vain is a promise to destroy the Japanese.
"Now that the King of Zhongshan has been on the run for a long time, I have set up a pavilion to reward him. I only hope that the country will always be prosperous and peaceful, and that your ruler and ministers will be prosperous forever."
"Special gift. A full gauze hat with an extended horn, a golden rhinoceros belt, a set of regular clothes, a bright red woven gold chest and back, a unicorn round collar, a patchwork of green trousers, a jade gui, and a set of five-piece silk gauze leather bedding suit. , a large cloak with a unicorn pattern, and a pattern of fifty thousand taels of silver, which is a common practice.” >Feng Bao took the fly whisk in his hand, and Xiao Huangmen rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to King Shangjiu of Ryukyu, completing the ceremony included in Shangjiu.
"I thank you for your kindness." Shang Jiu held the imperial edict and thanked you again. He knelt on the ground, straightened his body, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am confused. I have fifty thousand taels this year. Silver, is it available every year?”
Zhu Yijun frowned slightly when he heard this. He was a little apologetic. After all, he was forcing Shangjiu to stay in the Ming Dynasty, but Shangjiu didn't care about his promise to destroy the Japanese and directly asked about the treatment, which made the trace of guilt in Zhu Yijun's heart disappear.
As stated in the imperial edict, the people of Ryukyu are all those who migrated there during the Ming Dynasty. However, Japanese pirates are rampant on Ryukyu. With Shangjiu like this, do you expect him to work hard to govern and resist the Japanese and the enemy? Ryukyu soon no longer belonged to him, and he was still concerned about the annual fifty thousand taels of silver expenses.
I originally wanted my heart to illuminate the moon, but the moon illuminates the ditch.
Zhu Yijun talked about the city gate and the tower, and Shangjiu talked about the crotch and crotch axis.
"If I don't give it to you, what can you, the Prince of Ryukyu, eat and drink?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shang Jiu and said more cordially.
A negligible part of Ryukyu's sea tax is enough to support the Ryukyu palace. Ming Dynasty can still afford fifty thousand taels of silver a year. This is a profitable business.
Just because Ming Dynasty was able to collect taxes in Ryukyu, does that mean that the King of Ryukyu will not be able to collect taxes for a long time. If he really had the means, could he only maintain a bodyguard of 120 people?
"I thank you for your kindness!" Shangjiu looked overjoyed. Sure enough, that routine was the routine he understood. The annual expenditure of 50,000 taels of silver was more than enough for him to spend the day and night!
Shang Jiu left happily. Zhu Yijun looked at Shang Jiu's back and shook his head. This Shang Jiu really didn't deserve to be a king.
In fact, he prepared a complete set of procedures. He asked Shangjiu to go back. Shangjiu cried and complained that the Japanese pirates were committing crimes. Zhu Yijun was heartbroken and enumerated the crimes of the Japanese pirates. Shangjiu shared the same hatred with the enemy. Full of grief and anger, he asked the Ming Emperor to send Wang Shi to calm down. Zhu Yijun Taking the Ancestral Law as an example, Ryukyu is a country without conquests, and the Ming Dynasty was unable to go there. Shangjiu cried out about the sufferings of Ryukyu people, and the Japanese pirates were ferocious, and Zhu Yijun reluctantly made it difficult.
For this set of procedures, Zhu Yijun had played with the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites also told Shang Jiu what to say when. However, as soon as Shang Jiu entered the palace, he only cared about his own treatment after joining the palace. When it was time to cooperate with the performance, he turned a blind eye. Zhu Yijun He didn't bother to continue to play with Shang Jiu, so he directly declared the order and avoided a lot of detours.
"Sir, is this a person who governs people?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shang Jiu and asked Zhang Juzheng.
The five-star imperial master Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "The virtue is not worthy of the position, just stealing the high position."
That is to say, His Majesty is wise, Zhang Juzheng dared to say this, according to the emperor's behavior when he was still the prince , Zhang Juzheng could never say this. When he said this, the officials thought that Zhang Juzheng was going to rebel. Now that His Majesty is so wise, Zhang Juzheng naturally has something to say.
Zhang Juzheng's current worries are all worries about happiness, not worries about the country's failure to cheer up despite all his efforts.
"Two envoys from the Japanese Kingdom, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Yijun asked the two Japanese Kingdoms to come to the palace, naturally to scare Shang Jiu and make him think about how to speak. On the other hand, he asked the two Japanese Kingdoms The envoy stated that no matter what the purpose of the Japanese envoys was, it was imperative for the Ming Dynasty to extend its hand to the Japanese country.
The Ming Dynasty needed silver, but the Japanese country had silver.
"Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty!" Maoli Yuanqing did not have any burden at all. He first congratulated him and caught the emperor off guard.
Zhu Yijun looked at Maori Yuanqing in confusion. The purpose of the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy in Ryukyu was to pacify the Japanese. However, the Japanese Maori Yuanqing not only showed no fear, but even congratulated him. This was because he was brave, but he still couldn't understand people. talk?
Still provoking? !
Maori Yuanqing said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, I am congratulating you on the Ming Dynasty because of the rebellion of Japanese pirates and the disease of Ryukyu. It is also the disease of our Japanese country. Since the Muromachi shogunate has weakened, it cannot calm down the herdsmen. The Japanese country is in chaos. Monsters are causing trouble everywhere. The Japanese people I am in a state of chaos and panic all day long, so the bandits are everywhere causing trouble and disturbing the country. "
"Your Majesty's holy grace is blessing you overseas. I congratulate the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country!"
Zhu Yijun! He looked at Maori Yuanqing blankly, and after looking at him for a moment, he understood the reason why he said this. Oda Nobunaga posed too great a threat to the Maori family. Oda Nobunaga was spreading military force all over the world, marching southward and eastward. There was a direct conflict with the Maori family. Maori Yuanqing came to the Ming Dynasty with a strong purpose. The Maori family needed the support of the Ming Dynasty.
Moori Yuanqing doesn't mind talking about such reasonable nonsense.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "I heard that the Maori family just attacked Shangyue City in June, and the Nizi family was completely defeated. The Maori family is now winning steadily, why are they so scared? "
In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing's reign, the Maori family captured Yueshan Futian City. Nizi Yoshihisa surrendered, and the Nizi clan fled in all directions. The eleven kingdoms of Shanyin, Shanyang, and the Maori family were all owned by the Maori family.
In the fourth year of Longqing, Shikanosuke in the mountains supported Nizi Katsuhisa as the lord, and Nizi's old tribes responded one after another. Coupled with the support of Oda Nobunaga, Nizi's army was strong again, conquering cities and territories.
In the sixth year of Wanli, the Maori family once again defeated Shangyue City, Izumo no Deer: Yamazaka Shikanosuke committed suicide after being captured, announcing the failure of the Nizi clan's restoration of the country.
In the Battle of Tsukijo Castle, Oda Nobunaga not only supported the Nishi clan's re-establishment of the army, but also directly sent 10,000 troops to help the Nishi clan's revival. The person who led these 10,000 people was Hideyoshi Hashiba, that is, After the death of Oda Nobunaga, the people of the world attacked Korea and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was canonized as the king of Japan by the Ming Dynasty.
The Maori family is playing really well at this time. It is unjustifiable that Maori Yuanqing comes to be a licking dog during these victories.
"That Oda Nobunaga is really too vicious!" Mouri Yuanqing said with a sad face.
After the explanations of the parties involved, Zhu Yijun understood what Oda Nobunaga had planned. The purpose of supporting Izumo no Deer and Nizi to raise the army again was to waste the war potential of the Maori family. This method was extremely Familiar looking, pouting inside and out, sowing discord. In the battle of Kamigetsu Castle, Hashiba Hideyoshi directly abandoned his allies, Yamanaka Shikanosuke and Nizi Katsuhisa, took 10,000 people, greased the soles of their feet, and fled directly. Standing on the standpoint of the Mori family, Kamigetsu Castle The battle indeed successfully hindered Oda Nobunaga from going south, but Oda Nobunaga's strength was not damaged in any way, but the vitality of the Maori family was severely damaged.
This battle is equivalent to the Maori family fighting with the left hand and the right hand. If Oda Nobunaga attacks again, what will the Maori family use to defend?
Maori Terumoto, the governor of the Maori family, decided to send Maori Yuanqing to the Ming Dynasty as a licking dog. After licking the Ming Dynasty well, it would be great to get something in exchange for it. Now the Maori family is at a time of life and death.
"How about Ishimi Yinshan?" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked. He had already coveted the Yinshan of Japan and had been thinking about it for a long time. The first time he opened his mouth, he wanted to kill the Maori family.
Mao Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"Huh? Oh." Zhu Yijun immediately understood Mao Li Huiyuan's plan.
This abacus is very loud. If the Ming Dynasty wants Iwami Yinshan, it means that the Maori family is completely tied to a chariot. It must help the Maori family defend Oda Nobunaga's attack, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be It is not difficult to understand why the Maori family agreed so readily because the bamboo basket was empty.
Can Ming Dynasty really possess all the power of Iwami Yinshan? Obviously not. Ishijian Yinshan belongs to other people's land. Even if the Ming Dynasty has the ownership and the governance power is in the hands of the Maori family, the day Emperor Gao is far away, the Maori family has the final say in everything.
This is a typical empty-handed wolf.
"I also want it, but my ministers, especially those who are officials, always refer to me as "Taotie Pai Xiu" in private discussions, accusing me of amassing profits and accusing me of being greedy. Let's consider this in the long run. "Zhu Yijun waved his hand, saying that he was shameless and would fall out faster than flipping through a book.
Shi Jian Yinshan was requested by the Ming Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty turned his back and said no.
Maoli Yuanqing was stunned. Everything was going according to plan, but when he met the unruly Ming Emperor, everything seemed so funny. The dignified Ming Emperor actually turned against him. This was worse than seeing a ghost. Be outrageous.
The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have long been accustomed to the fact that His Majesty is a political figure. It is normal for him to fall out. Everything is subject to the imperial edict. If there is an imperial edict, it means that His Majesty has completely thought it through.
"As for the canonization of Oda Nobunaga, we will wait until Oda Nobunaga is finished." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that the Japanese envoy could get out. It was not for long-term pressure. Zhu Yijun was determined not to do it. Meet them.
During the Jiajing period, the Japanese envoys fought for confession, which led to the Ming Dynasty's total sea ban, which was also one of the causes of the Japanese invasion in the southeast. Zhu Yijun would not make any promises to the Japanese envoys. These guys would only crawl along the pole.
Grand Sima Tan Lun saw the Japanese envoy being carried out, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Wenchang Xu Wei has sent good news. Otomo Zonglin defeated Shimazu Yoshihisa and Ryuzoji Takanobu in Erchuan. "Allied forces."
On the Japanese island of Kyushu, Otomo Sorin, Shimazu Yoshihisa, and Ryuzoji Takanobu were the three overlords. They refused to obey anyone. Among them, Otomo Sorin was the most tyrannical and had been the hegemon for a very long time. But Otomo Zong Lin was at odds with his closest retainers.
The reason for the discord is because of religion.
Otomo Zonglin believed in Nestorian Christianity, and none of Otomo Zonglin's closest retainers disliked Nestorianism. Xu Wei's intervention caused a direct conflict with Nestorianism over the Nagasaki port, causing Nestorianism to languish in Kyushu Island, and Otomo Zonglin Zong Lin and his close retainers also took this opportunity to reconcile.
Working together this time, Otomo Sorin, not surprisingly, defeated Shimazu Yoshihisa's challenge and continued to maintain his dominance.
Xu Wei's intervention in the Nagasaki incident was to completely intensify and break this contradiction. Xu Wei's purge of the diocese was not only due to the Ming navy he brought, but also the close cooperation of these retainers. Together they bloodbathed the parish.
The conflict between Otomo Zonglin and his close ministers has been going on for a long time. Otomo Zonglin refused to give in, and his retainers refused to bow their heads. This lacked an opportunity to resolve it. After the bloodbath in the diocese, Otomo Zonglin immediately After he woke up, he never mentioned the Nestorian thing.
Japanese country is a kind of culture with layers of evasion. The emperor was evaded by the shogunate, the shogunate was evacuated by the governor, the lord was evacuated by the family governor, and the family governor was evacuated by the daimyo who ordered the government to protect the country. This layer of evasion gave birth to the Japanese nation. It is a very unique culture of lowering the upper class. After experiencing the incident in the diocese, Dayo Zonglin also realized that if he continued to forcibly promote the spread of Nestorianism, he was afraid that it would trigger the lower class and the upper class.
And this great victory is naturally a model of sincere cooperation between the governor and the retainers.
Xu Wei's memorial clearly stated that Tahara Chiken, a retainer of Otomo Sorin, was dissatisfied with the spread of Nestorianism and became very close to Shimazu Yoshihisa, and was even suspected of defecting to him. If the battle of Ergawa, Tahara If a relative does not send troops, or even stabs him in the back, Otomo Sorin's position as the hegemon of Kyushu Island will not be guaranteed. The Otomo family is likely to become a quicksand in the long river of history, just like the Nizi family.
Xu Wei's vision is very accurate. This is indeed the case in the original historical line. Because Otomo Sorin was obsessed with Nestorianism, he went further and further away from his retainers. In the end, he was defeated in Erchuan, and Shimazu Yoshihisa became Kyushu. The overlord of the island, the Otomo family, gradually declined.
“For the affairs of the Japanese country, I thought it would be more appropriate to rely on the hands of the Governor of Nagasaki. The Japanese country is isolated overseas and it is inconvenient to come and go. I am waiting in the capital hall without hearing the details and making decisions at will, fearing that it will bring trouble to the Governor of Nagasaki. Come and cause trouble." Tan Lun advised, since the Ming Dynasty has a directly subordinate Nagasaki Governor's Office in Japan, then the opinions of the Nagasaki Governor's Office are very important in the affairs of Japan.
Zhu Yijun said with great agreement: "What Da Sima said makes sense."
The envoy from North Korea was the last one to meet, just to say hello. Zhu Yijun rewarded the envoy from North Korea, which ended this year's concentrated audience of foreign envoys. Zhu Yijun once again fulfilled his promise, meeting with cabinet ministers, Xuan Tingchen, and Foreign officials, county magistrates, elders, common people, and envoys. This was the ancestral law established in the Hongwu and Yongle years and was implemented until the Xuanzong Dynasty. In the Zhengtong period, it was abandoned because Ming Yingzong was young.
Zhu Yijun specially left Zhang Juzheng to the side hall of Wenhua Palace to discuss the translation issues of the Mughal Empire. Zhu Yijun thought it would be better to write directly about the Mughal Empire. The current emperor of the Mughal Empire, Ah Keba's life is very legendary.
Akbar was lame and had a slight squint. After the death of his father Humayun, Delhi, the capital of the Mongol Empire, was taken away by the great cannibal Himmu.
Akbar's ascension to the throne took place in a garden. The throne he inherited had nothing but the title of emperor. His throne was built bit by bit by himself, defeating the great food. After his death, Akbar defeated powerful ministers again and began his life of winning battles and victories.
The territory of the Mongol Empire reached its peak in the hands of Akbar, so he was called Emperor Akbar.
Akbar, known as the guardian of peace, used his sword to bring peace.
A limp, squinted, short and looked down upon, he gained the throne through war and expanded his territory, but was defeated by Barreto, the Portuguese governor of Diu in Surat, and Akbar could only He accepted the result with a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yijun was keenly aware that this was a big customer!
"Actually, the Ministry of Rites does not need to struggle or avoid the problem. If it is translated as Mughal, no one will know that it is Mughal?" Zhu Yijun still finalized the translation name of this Mughal empire, Hu Yuan It's just a remnant. It's not what it used to be. Hu Yuan has been dead for many years. Even the Bo'er of Beilu is now the Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty.
If there is no conflict of interest, there is no need to fall out. If there is a conflict of interest, just use the banner of Hu Yuan's remnant.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng agreed with His Majesty's decision. This can only be said by His Majesty, not the ministers.
The world of Lao Zhu’s family was obtained from Hu Yuan’s hands, not from the hands of King Xiao Ming. It was Zhu Ming who drove the Hu barbarians out of the Central Plains, so this matter must be decided by Your Majesty. tune.
"Two ships were sold for 500,000 yuan, and one imperial mausoleum was obtained." Zhu Yijun said with emotion.
Zhang Juzheng said tentatively: "Your Majesty, the underground is not easy to move. Do you want to repair the above-ground buildings? After all, problems occurred in the first year after the repairs were completed. Repairs are also necessary."< br>
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Forget it."
"I obey the order." Zhang Juzheng looked a little helpless. His Majesty has become a man and his character has been fully formed. If he wants to persuade him again, It's too late.
"Sir, I have a memorial here. It was sent by Luo Bingliang, the Commander-in-Chief of Nanya Ti and the Chief of the Taxation Academy. Sir, take a look." Zhu Yijun handed the memorial directly to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng looked at it for a long time, sighed, hesitated to speak, and did not say the last word.
"Do you know, sir? Is this phenomenon common?" Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said helplessly: "What can't these rural sages and gentry do for the sake of annexation? Once they turn their backs, they will be beaten to the other side and attack in groups until no one dares to be lenient to the common people. .”
"It's very common, very common."
The memorial is the story of the destruction of the Yang family in Longtan, Nanya.
Yang Keli, the head of the Yang family, is a great benevolent person, a truly benevolent person. When he saw that no one was cultivating the 5,000 acres of land near Gaozi Town, he took the 5,000 acres of land from the Gaozi Chen family. He bought it and then took the local landless tenants to cultivate these fields. Yang Ke was good at this. He promised the tenants that he would only collect grain rent for three years, and then the fields would be owned by the tenants.
This was a written, signed and secured document. Three years later, Yang Keli indeed transferred the land deed to the 5,000 acres of land to the landless tenants.
Zhu Yijun was amazed when he saw this place. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. There really is such a kind person!
Originally, Zhu Yijun thought that Luo Bingliang had received a bribe from Yang Keli to say a good word for Yang Keli when he wrote this memorial.
Not at all.
The reason why Yang Keli wants to charge three years of grain rent is entirely because the yield of the acres cultivated in the first three years is not high, but it requires water and fertilizer, and it is easy for the ownership of the acres to be unclear, causing disputes. Because the fields all have ridges, the ridges were not precise in the first few years. Yang Keli collected the grain rent for these three years, ensured the irrigation of the cultivated fields, organized the construction of ditches, and was even responsible for mediating conflicts.
Three years later, Yang Keli kept his promise.
This was originally a good thing, but the Yang family soon became in danger. Because of the high-ranking Chen family, Yang Keli was sued to the Yingtianfu Yamen with a complaint, saying that the Yang family was stealing the land. , I hope Mr. Qingtian of Yingtianfu Yamen will make decisions for the people.
Originally, Chen could not win this relationship no matter what. The contract procedures for the original sale and purchase were all in place, so how could it be taken under cover of circumstances?
But Chen won the lawsuit by bribing Dong Chuance, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, but Yang Keli never understood how he lost the lawsuit until his death.
Yang Keli is dead.
He died in the prison of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment. His death was unclear. It was said that he died on a hunger strike.
And the five thousand acres of land belonged to Gao Zi Chen.

He focuses on large quantities and sufficient management. It is written by a fan of one person, if you are interested, you can check it out.
