Chapter 714 The Holy Emperor returns to Beijing and Ziweixing returns to his rightful ways


Chapter 714 The Holy Emperor returns to Beijing, and Ziweixing returns to his rightful ways

The Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun’s southern tour set off a bloody storm, starting with the Hejian Zhang family in Tianjin Wei and ending with the run on Songjiang Prefecture. , Zhu Yijun, the true emperor, crushed countless Tu emperors, physically redistributed the means of production and wealth, split Nanya, built two Chi Roads and canals in Zhejiang, and carried out large-scale silver dredging.

The only thing Emperor Ming was dissatisfied with about this southern tour was that those guys in Liaodong were just talking and didn't really go all out to fight against Ming, which made Li Chengliang's plan come to nothing.

An anti-Ming offensive and defensive alliance can be established, but the question is who will make the first cut? Everyone knew that with Li Chengliang gone, the Ming Emperor's southern patrol camp in Beijing could not move, and the Liaodong army formation would inevitably be shaken. However, North Korea, Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, Savage Jurchens, and Outer Khalkha tribes all hoped that the other side would go first.

As a result, this delay lasted until the Ming Emperor was about to return to Beijing, and the fight in Liaodong still did not start. The plan to complete the victory in one battle failed.

In fact, the purpose of these people joining together to form an anti-Ming offensive and defensive alliance was so that the Ming Dynasty could once again make the tribute trade unrestricted. In the past, there were not a few people who paid tribute to North Korea for a free ride. North Korea took two Ming Dynasties. The Ming Dynasty suddenly refused to harvest the century-old wool. It was somewhat unwilling to form this offensive and defensive alliance in an attempt to increase the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

But this so-called unbreakable alliance is neither unbreakable nor an alliance.

In Wang Rulong's memorial, the Outer Khalkha tribes are very willing to be the dogs of the Ming Dynasty, and are willing to be the inner ghosts. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not close the mutual trade between Womagang and the Outer Khalkha tribes, they will It has always been willing, even willing, for Ming tax collectors to go to the vast Mobei to collect taxes. If Ming Dynasty finds it troublesome, the emperor can appoint tax collectors to collect taxes, which is the tax farming system.

After participating in the ship review, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not set off immediately. Instead, he inspected the Songjiangfu Shipyard again and conducted a very serious and comprehensive investigation of the shipyard where fast sailing ships were produced. The general office of the shipyard communicated in depth about the difficulties faced by the shipyard in its development process.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who still had many things to say, finally started his journey back to Beijing in the ninth month of the golden autumn. Because there were no more patrols along the way, the entire journey back to Beijing lasted only one month.

When Zhu Yijun's car passed through Xuzhou, he stopped for three days. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty took the civil and military ministers to visit the coal mines in Xuzhou. Zhu Yijun couldn't understand that even the southeastern part of Shandong could rely on coal mining and canals to mine coal. The industry has started and the profits are huge. Xuzhou also has many coal mines. Why does the local government in Xuzhou still subsidize the industry?

Zhu Yijun went to three places, Zhengzhuang, Huzhuang, and Tuntou Coal Mine. Although the kiln residents in these places were still suffering, they were finally able to receive the wages they deserved for their labor, and they were still building In addition to the new official residences, the owners of these kilns were finally no longer merchants from Yangzhou and Suzhou, but were dually managed by the Ministry of Industry and local yamen of the Ming Dynasty.

People, finance, and materials are under the local management of Xuzhou, but production, safety, technology, supporting facilities, etc. are all under the management of the Xishan Coal Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of Ming Dynasty.

"I am initially satisfied with this result, but not particularly satisfied." After inspecting the mine, Zhu Yijun said to the accompanying ministers, "We won, but not completely."

Zhu Yijun is a person who cares about winning or losing. As long as he wins, there is no doubt that in the battle of the Southern Tour, the strong dragon defeated the local snake and Zhu Yijun won a complete victory. However, in Zhu Yijun's view, the difference between the strong dragon and the local snake The war between us is far from over.

Zhu Yijun left Xuzhou and continued to go north. In the era when carriages and horses were very slow, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the news of the emperor's return to Beijing. Beiya was looking forward to the emperor's return, but King Lu was really unreliable, and Nan Ya I hope the emperor leaves quickly and never comes back again. Beheading every day is too scary.

The most excited person was undoubtedly Zhu Yili, who stayed in the Ming Dynasty Beiya. When he heard that the emperor was once again setting off from Xuzhou to the north, he jumped three feet high and excitedly ran around the pillars of the Wenhua Hall several times before standing. In front of the gate of the Wenhua Palace, he said to Li Yougong extremely excitedly: "I have ordered that if you don't get up for the morning court tomorrow, everything will be dealt with after the emperor returns to the capital!"

"Your Highness, this court delay One day, the local government will be delayed for ten days. The delivery date is limited, and if the memorial is not approved, the local government will not be able to do anything." Li Yougong immediately became anxious. Efficient administrative efficiency is one of the pillars that ensures the stable operation of the empire. How can he be so lazy? ?

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhu Yirui said with a sneer.

This is the most unreliable thing about King Lu. He doesn’t like going to court. In his opinion, court meetings, court meetings, reviewing memorials, handling state affairs, and military parades are all going to go to court. He grew up with the emperor’s brother since he was a child. He can handle these common tasks very well, but it is precisely because of this ability that he is so bored.

It's fine if you don't understand and are deceived. The most uncomfortable part is that you still have to suffer this crime even though you understand clearly.

"Your Highness!" The corners of Li Yougong's mouth twitched, Zhu Yirui was a bit too irresponsible.

In fact, Li Yougong knows very well that this is what a natural noble person looks like. Sometimes, he really does not have the ability. Sometimes, even if he has the ability, he is too lazy to take care of it or deal with it. Anyway, it is difficult for disaster to spread. On the head of such a noble person.

A naturally noble person like your Majesty is an outlier.

"Li Dayun, I will quit the imperial court starting tomorrow." Zhu Yixi shook his sleeves and said loudly: "I'm quitting! Speaking of breaking the sky, I'm not quitting either. This is not a life for human beings at all! You know How did I get here these seven months?”

In the past seven months, Zhu Yili had to get up at the fourth watch every day, and then went to the Wenhua Palace full of energy to wake up, and listened to a group of old foxes talking insincerely. All kinds of common affairs were all struggles for power and interests. The roots are intertwined, and it’s all a matter of intrigue. We try our best to come up with a result that everyone can accept. Then when it is implemented, it is full of difficulties. After the implementation, there are a lot of contradictions that are difficult to solve or even have never appeared before. .

The imperial meeting lasted for two hours, with only a quarter of an hour's rest in between. This kind of double mental and physical torture was nothing more. When it was over, after dinner, it was time to go to Peking University Camp to parade the military horses. Zhu Yixi's force was barely enough After reaching the level of a sharp soldier in the Beijing camp, it takes another hour and a half to parade the troops and horses. After the end, they return to Tonghe Palace to meet with various ministers with ulterior motives. When the lamp is turned on, they start reviewing memorials.

After doing all this, it was already the moonlight. After a busy day, he must rest immediately, otherwise he would be dizzy during the court meeting the next day.

These seven months are the seven months when Zhu Yili has the most regular schedule. None of the work he does in his life is as busy as these seven months.

"It's like drilling a mine that never ends, a mine with no light at all! I've had enough! Tell the courtiers that Prince Lu has a heart disease. In seven months, I can't even get the beauty of the world. I've never seen him face to face!" Zhu Yiliu was very angry. He looked at Li Yougong and said loudly: "Let the emperor punish me severely. It's best to lock me in Prince Lu's Mansion and never let me out! ”

"Anyway, brother Huang can handle it!"

Li Yougong was helpless. After several months of getting along with him, he discovered that Prince Lu was actually not so useless and lazy. In fact, there was only one reason. Prince Lu made it very clear. Even if it breaks the sky, Your Majesty can handle it.

King Lu did not have to resist the four words "Jiangshan Sheji", so he slacked off.

With the support of the royal brother, King Lu only needs to enjoy his rights and does not need to fulfill any obligations.

This kind of irresponsible disease is actually very easy to cure. If His Majesty really disappears on the southern tour, and this responsibility must be shouldered by King Lu, he will not be willful.

"Is it okay? I'll start absenting myself from court tomorrow, is it okay?" Zhu Yiliu asked loudly.

"Okay." Li Yougong replied helplessly. His Majesty said that Prince Lu was born in the year of a donkey and had to be coaxed along with his fur.

"Hahaha! Beauty from all over the world, here I come!" Zhu Yiyi ran away in a flash. He had no nostalgia for Wenhua Palace at all, and even only half of the comments on the memorial were written.

The emperor is back, but he refuses to write another word.

On September 27, the thirteenth year of Wanli, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty returned to his loyal Shuntian Mansion and stayed in Tongzhou.

"Let the Supervisor of Ceremonies deliver the memorial." Zhu Yijun stretched out.

The next southern tour will be around the 16th year of Wanli. It is on the way back to Beijing. Cabinet ministers, it is a matter of decision. Needless to say, the necessity of regular southern tours. Every southern tour The results of the last southern tour must be tested and new contradictions resolved.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a bit too much." Feng Bao said in a low voice: "There are three carts."

"No? Isn't the unit of measurement of the memorial? Why... the cart is coming?" "Zhu Yijun stretched out his waist and asked Feng Bao dumbfounded. The measurement unit of the memorial is described as a cart, just like a donkey in a mill seeing mountains of grain that need to be ground.

"When His Majesty set out from Xuzhou, His Highness Prince Lu returned to Prince Lu's Mansion and refused to come out, so there were so many left." Feng Bao explained the key to the problem.

"Child, forget it. Let's get the memorials and bring a cart first." Zhu Yijun was very aware of the speed at which he could process the memorials. During the day he stayed in Tongzhou, he could only process one cart at most.

Zhu Yijun will stay in Tongzhou for one day, and King Lu will come to Tongzhou to greet him. Li Rusong will return the seal of the general of the Beijing camp to the emperor, and then the emperor will hand the seal and ribbon to Qi Jiguang. After the military and political handover, he will stay behind The heads of the six ministries will all come to Tongzhou to hand over the affairs of the six ministries to the minister.

After the cumbersome handover, the Ming Emperor will issue an imperial edict, not to grant amnesty to the world, but to correct some of King Lu's unreasonable decrees, such as the release of the bachelors and ministries imprisoned by King Lu. A total of 327 people including officials and scholar-bureaucrats.

The reason why King Lu directly gave up his son is also here. If he does well or poorly, the emperor will issue an order to reprimand him when he returns to Beijing. This is a custom. A prince can do better than the emperor. , what kind of behavior is this?

"The thirty-six beauties from all over the world brought by Nanya were all sent to King Lu's house, as well as the various ship models sent by Songjiang Shipyard, a total of twenty-eight models, were sent to him. One set is enough for him to play with for several months." Zhu Yijun dealt with the memorial at hand and ordered Feng Bao to send the souvenir to King Lu.

It has been hard work for seven months. In the end, you will definitely be scolded, so there must be a substantial reward, and this group of specially collected beauties from all over the world is a substantial reward for King Lu.

Wang Lu has nothing missing, and he likes this beauty from all over the world;

Songjiang Shipyard built a complete set of models, and Zhu Yijun brought a complete set to King Lu, which also saved him a lot of money. Tian was thinking about his hand-made wall in the side hall of Wenhua Hall, so I just made one for him.

"Your Majesty, as the chief minister of the cabinet, sir, you have refuted your majesty's imperial edict." Feng Bao carefully took out the imperial edict, and the imperial edict that went to the cabinet in the next chapter was knocked back.

"Ah? Why did the cabinet reject my imperial edict?" Zhu Yijun had a question mark on his face. This was the consensus formed on the way back.

"Sir, what you mean is that some of the people who were imprisoned by His Highness Prince Lu will be killed, some will be imprisoned, some will be sent to the Xishan Coal Bureau for labor, and some will be exiled. It is impossible not to kill them, and we cannot simply release them directly. ." Feng Bao said in a low voice.

Zhang Juzheng felt that the emperor was too kind. Although Zhu Yili was unreliable, he did his best to protect the emperor's brother from the embarrassment. None of the people in custody was innocent.

Since Zhang Juzheng and Ding You kept filial piety in the fifth year of Wanli, and the emperor gradually took power, Zhang Juzheng rarely exercised the power to refute matters and refute the emperor's imperial edict. This time, the cabinet reached a consensus and could not let go.

"What's the reason for the killing? Before the southern tour, Mr. taught me the way of benevolence and forgiveness every day, which made me crazy." Zhu Yijun looked at the floating tickets on the imperial edict. After reading it, He still couldn't figure out why Zhang Juzheng, who always advocated smooth communication and benevolence and forgiveness, went out of his way and started shouting and killing people who expressed opinions.

"It was Lin Fucheng's incident that caused the commotion. Sir, I think King Lu did the right thing." Feng Bao said with great certainty: "The reason for killing is very simple. They are just rebels. It will save them the trouble later." Nonsense, nonsense.”

In order to prevent these people from chronicling their sufferings in the years to come, Zhang Juzheng’s solution was to kill them all. Without the years, there would be no history books.

There is no doubt that this is a good solution to the problem.

"Sir, you are a bit worried. Let it go." After Zhu Yijun figured out what Zhang Juzheng was thinking, he said with a smile: "I'm fine, sir, you're overly worried."

Zhang Juzheng doesn't care about anything. I am not afraid, but I am afraid that the emperor will imitate the Taoist master and be exhausted by the cruel political struggle. Let alone the New Deal, the Ming Dynasty will be in ruins. Especially Zhang Juzheng saw the fleeting moment from the emperor's expression. When he is angry, his whole person becomes violent.

"I obey the order." Feng Bao could only accept the order. Feng Bao personally sent the imperial edict to the cabinet and reiterated His Majesty's proposition. However, Zhang Juzheng rarely refuted the emperor's imperial edict again with a very firm attitude. Wang Chonggu fled directly, using the excuse of Xishan Coal Bureau and two woolen official factories. When they had to deal with general affairs, they went to the Xishan Coal Bureau. Wan Shihe and Wang Guoguang both agreed with Zhang Juzheng's decision.

"Then we will hold off for the time being. After I have finished approving the memorial, we will discuss it and study it again." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial that had been refuted again and did not push forward forcefully.

The cabinet obviously has its own reasons for having such a tough attitude. Zhu Yijun is also very busy, so he can just do research after he is done.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Lu is here." A small yellow door hurriedly ran in, bowed his head and said.

"Xuan."

According to regulations, King Lu should arrive tomorrow, but King Lu never plays his cards according to common sense, so after the news of the emperor's stay in Tongzhou reached the capital, King Lu rushed to Tongzhou in a hurry. He stayed behind for a moment longer. Don't want to do it!

"Greetings to your Majesty, my dear brother!" Zhu Yili knelt down at the door, held the seal ribbon left behind in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brother, I'm so lucky to have lived up to my command and not given to Your Majesty. My Majesty, now that your Majesty has returned to the capital, I will give you the imperial seal and ribbon."

"No gift, just a living treasure. Look at how many memorials you have left for me!" Zhu Yijun looked at King Lu who was like a living treasure. , he couldn't do anything to him, and the grounding only did what he wanted. As for a heavier punishment, it was impossible while Queen Mother Li was still there, and King Lu did a really good job.

"This is not ridiculous, what can the emperor do?" Zhu Yili answered nonchalantly, pretending to be a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Zhu Yijun smiled and asked: "Uncle Emperor, do you know that I am back?"

"I know, but I guess the emperor didn't even notice that he had an extra seal of supervising the country." Zhu Yixi said helplessly: "Brother Huang, you can't say that I don't like to work. The emperor is lazier than me. , once the Japanese pirates coveted our water and fertilizer, the emperor's uncle attended the public trial, and he never showed up again. "

The first one who neglected government affairs was not Zhu Yili. Zhu Yili at least dealt with general affairs, so the real prisoner. The country's Zhu Zaiyu had nothing to do with state affairs.

Zhu Yirui suspected that Zhu Zaiyu would only take a second look when the Beilu attacked the city, mainly because he was afraid that the war would ruin his research.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense here, just return the seal and ribbon and go back. I still have a carload of memorials waiting for approval! Zhu Yijun, after approving this carload, I have two more cars left!" Zhu Yijun The thought of memorials that were measured in cars gave him a huge headache. If he had the choice, he wouldn't want to work.

Looking at the pile of memorials, Zhu Yijun felt a headache and started grinding.

King De, Zhu Zaiyu, did not forget that this was the day when His Majesty returned to Beijing. Even if he forgot, someone would remind him that the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Geosciences also had administrative staff. King De, along with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, rushed to Tongzhou and handed over the prison to the country. The seal and ribbon represent that the political power has been returned to His Majesty again. Li Rusong returned the seal of General Zhenwu to His Majesty, which represents that military power has returned to His Majesty's hands again.

On September 29, the Ming Emperor's chariot entered Tonghe Palace. At this point, the southern tour was completely completed. Zhongshu Sheren wrote in the Wanli Daily Note: The Holy Emperor returned to Beijing, Ziweixing Reform.

Since ancient times, it has been a very dangerous thing for the emperor to leave the central government. The return of Ziweixing means that the Ming Dynasty has returned to its former peace.

To the great joy of the ministers, after several months of vacation, the Ming Emperor did not slack off and was as efficient as ever. He completed all the public affairs owed by King Lu within three days.

After Zhu Yijun finished approving the memorials, he leaned back in his chair and felt helpless. The three carts of memorials were really tiring. He took out the set of seals left for King Lu. Only then did he quickly finish the outstanding government affairs.

"Let it go or not, it's a bit troublesome now." Zhu Yijun leaned on the back of his chair, looking at Zhang Juzheng's impassioned memorial, and felt a headache.

In addition to the general affairs of the court, the biggest issue in the content of the three days of court discussions is the issue of whether the criminals detained by King Lu will be acquitted, and this issue is almost unsolvable, because Everyone is doing it for the good of Ming Dynasty, why should we listen to you?

Led by the emperor, the court officials who stayed in the capital, including Zeng Shengwu, Shen Li, Lu Guangzu and others, believed that the people should be released. Headed by Zhang Juzheng, the court officials who visited the south, including Wan Shihe and Wang Guoguang, insisted on killing people. The reasons for both sides are very good, both for the good of Ming Dynasty and the good of the New Deal.

If someone is doing it for personal gain, this matter would be easy to handle, but the bad thing is that it is all for the good of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng said directly and clearly that His Majesty's tolerance for Fengli and public opinion has allowed the rebels to grow louder in recent years. In any case, it is necessary to use this matter to conduct a comprehensive liquidation and let them know the imperial power. of sanctity.

Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, didn't think they were causing any harm. They were already serious enough to kill people. A few words of noise were just enough to make the sky fall. Covering one's mouth was an incompetent behavior. If there was a problem, he would actively correct it.

Both sides are stubborn in their own opinions, and this matter has just been brought to a standstill, and it is difficult to resolve.

As Zhang Juzheng gets older, he is afraid of more and more things.

Feng Bao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have an idea. Let's lock him up for now. Locking him up for three to five years is considered a severe punishment. Isn't he still short of food rations for these hundreds of people? ”

Since it can’t be solved, then put it on hold until Zhang Juzheng discovers that His Majesty has no support for the New Deal due to the influence of public opinion.

"There is no other solution." On the issue of whether to let go or not, Zhu Yijun chose 'peace'. He didn't say let go or not let go. He just shut it down and put aside the dispute. There is no need to do it for such a trivial matter. There were endless arguments.

In the eyes of Zhu Yijun, it was a trivial matter, but in the eyes of the courtiers on the southern tour, it was no small matter. The public opinion in Nanya made the already conservative courtiers even more conservative, for fear that the public opinion in Beiya would change. Chengnanya is so unsightly.

Conservative courtiers believed that Nanya's style of public opinion was too liberal.

"Your Majesty, the weather has turned cold. Shi Maohua, the former governor of Shaanxi, is afraid that it will only be in the past few days." Feng Bao reminded His Majesty that another important minister is passing away.

Shi Maohua was the pillar of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. In the turbulent days, Shi Maohua carried up the northwest. As one of the mainstays of the Futao sect in the Central Dynasty, Shi Maohua had to go to Suiyuan even if he was sick. , go to the Hetao Plain to see. Shi Maohua was a backbone in major events such as Lanzhou Woolen Factory, the migration of military households from Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia to Suiyuan, the establishment of Gansu Province, and the reopening of the Western Regions in the Ming Dynasty.

The weather turned cold, and Shi Maohua, who had been holding on for an extra year, was deteriorating in health. He did not even attend the ceremony to welcome the Holy Emperor.

"Is there no other way?" Zhu Yijun was not in a high mood and asked in a low voice.

"Great medical officers, try your best." Feng Bao replied.

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

The next morning, Zhu Yijun held a court meeting as usual. After the court meeting, he immediately went to the Jiangwu School. Shi Maohua has a separate garden in Beijing. The emperor rewarded him, I forgot which house raid he got, a big house with three entrances and exits, but Shi Maohua always lived in the martial arts school, which was closer to the school building. He liked to listen to the chants of the soldiers during morning exercises.

"Is there nothing you can do?" Zhu Yijun came to the official residence of Jiangwu School, saw Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong waiting, and asked about Shi Maohua's situation.

"Your Majesty, medicine and stone are difficult to cure." Li Shizhen bowed his head and said.

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Zhu Yijun sorted out his emotions and walked in.

"Governor Shi, your Majesty is here." The guard whispered in Shi Maohua's ear, and helped Shi Maohua stand up to salute. Zhu Yijun waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.

"Your Majesty?" Shi Maohua was a little confused about the person. After looking at him for a long time, he confirmed that the person in front of him was really the emperor.

"It's me, I'm back from Nanya." Zhu Yijun sat in front of Shi Maohua and said gently.

I am old and sick, and my words are not very clear, even intermittently. Zhu Yijun talked to Shi Maohua patiently.

"People are all greedy. In the past, they were thinking about cheating. Your Majesty worked hard and finally fell back on the trap. Now he thought about reopening the Western Region."

"Your Majesty, you said "Can this Populus euphratica tree be planted in the Western Regions?" Shi Maohua finished this sentence intermittently. He also had his own difficulties. He still remembered that he hoped to plant the Populus euphratica tree in the Western Regions, which was the old land of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

“Yes, I promised.” Zhu Yijun said with great confidence: “I will definitely do it, no matter how long it takes.”

"Okay, okay." Shi Maohua was a little tired. He leaned back on the chair and said three good words in a row. He tilted his head and looked to the west, as if he wanted to see through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and see the vast Western Region.

In the official residence, it was very quiet, no one spoke, and everyone even suppressed their breathing.

Li Shizhen took a deep breath, walked forward, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Governor Shi, let's go."

"I know." Zhu Yijun clenched his hands and nodded vigorously Said: "I know, I will sit for a while."

After a long time, Zhu Yijun whispered: "Governor Shi, I promised you to reopen the Western Regions. I have always kept my word, and the Ministry of Rites will give you Posthumous title, official burial in Xishan.”

The first time Zhu Yijun met Shi Maohua was in the fourth year of Wanli, and he was the foreign official he met that year. At that time, Shi Maohua was bent on retreading, and even told the emperor that as long as he could retake it, he could defend the Western Regions even without reopening live.

But the fact is that Shi Maohua lied. Having been in the northwest for a long time, he knew very well that if the Western Region was not reopened, the Hetao would not be defended at all.

Politics has inertia. In order to regain and transform the Loop, the Ming Dynasty paid a very high sunk cost. It has become a consensus to reopen the Western Regions.

Zhu Yijun must be responsible for his own commitments and for history.

After the emperor returned to Beijing, the courtiers who were looking forward to Ganlin did not wait for the emperor's pardon to forgive the detention. The matter was shelved. This is a common thing in politics, such as Hu Zongxian After his death, Xu Wei was imprisoned for seven years.

This kind of cold treatment means being marginalized, which is the most dangerous, because no one cares anymore.
