At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 211

Orthodox 15 years, New Year's Eve.

This is Zhu Qizhen's second New Year's Eve after he came to this world.

From the 14th year of orthodoxy's civil fort Jedi counterattack, to the 15th year of orthodoxy's sweep of Mobei, extermination of Japanese pirates, and suppression of rebellion...

In just one and a half years, a lot seems to have happened.

However, he knew in his heart that everything had just begun.

The implementation of the New Deal is equivalent to opposing the gentry class in the world.

Instead of allowing Daming to be overthrown by bandits and replaced by Jiannu, why don't I reverse it first!

Wynn waited at the side, looked at the sky, and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed."

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Have the other Huangzhuang arrangements been made?"

"Back to the emperor, the servants have sent someone to pass the message that all Huangzhuang will follow the rules of Chaoyangmen No. [-] factory, but..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhu Qizhen asked, "Is there any question?"

Wynn hurriedly laughed and said: "The servants are worried that this will cause...the gentry's discussion..."

People are renting [-]% of the rent, but you are fine, it will directly become [-]% of the rent, what do you ask others to do?
This is obviously a mess!
Next, the gentry face only two choices, or, like Huangzhuang, change to [-]% rent, or just bear it.

Zhu Qizhen said disapprovingly: "My own village, my own land, I can collect as much rent as I want, what does it have to do with others?"

Wynn stopped talking. Yes, you can decide how much rent you want for your own land, but the people will start to complain.

Since Huangzhuang began to build workshops, it could absorb more households. In this way, other farmers and tenants would abandon their original landlords and turn to Huangzhuang.

The result of this is that there will be fewer and fewer tenants for renting and farming, until there is no one to cultivate a large area of ​​land, forcing you to lower the rent.

However, no matter what the choice is, the rent will be reduced in the end.

The so-called cutting off people's fortunes probably means this...

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Have you found out about the fact that someone in Xishan occupied the mine forcibly?"

"Going back to the emperor, we found out that he is the younger brother of Concubine Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Jinwu right guard, Zhang Yong."

The relatives in the harem will be rewarded to varying degrees, but most of them are given a position. This commander is actually just an empty title and has no real power.

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said: "Zhang Yong resigned from office and demoted to a commoner, handed over to the Shuntian Mansion to deal with, Concubine Zhang Cheng will be confined for three months, let her reflect on herself."

Wynn said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is this...too harsh? The slaves have investigated it, but Concubine Zhang Cheng didn't participate..."

"There is no need to discuss this matter. I am going to implement the New Deal, but there are foreign relatives who are oppressing the people. If they are not severely punished, how will the New Deal be implemented?"

Wynn had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Slave obeys the order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked into the distance and said, "I don't know where the person Yuan Bin sent..."

Wynn laughed with him and said, "according to the date of departure, we should have arrived in Qufu."

Zhu Qizhen said thoughtfully: "Do you think the Kong family really can't move?"

"This……"

Wynn hesitated to speak, so he had to say: "Yanshenggong's mansion is the head of scholars in the world, and this servant has the courage to advise you that the emperor needs to be cautious in this matter."

"If I retreat, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling others that I'm afraid of the Kong family?"

"Your majesty, don't say that. You are a king. No matter how influential Yan Shenggong is, you are still a minister. The servants just think that they should take care of the face of the scholars in the world. After all, they are after Confucius..."

"I take care of their face, who will take care of the face of the people in the world? Why should the Confucius family decide the world's enlightenment?"

Zhu Qizhen remembered what the Kong family did in Yu County, and he became angry.

Shang Ren’s school in Yu County is doing well, and the children of the common people are sent to study. You came here to point fingers, shut down the school, and ordered rectification. I’ll go to hell with you!

I will rectify your Confucius family first!
…………

Shandong, Qufu.

This is the hometown of Confucius, the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor, the old capital of Shennong, the hometown of Shang and Yin, and the capital of Zhou, Han and Lu. The profound cultural heritage is second to none in the world.

In the second year after Confucius passed away, the emperor Zhou set up the main house where he lived as a temple to worship at the age of year. Confucius was worshiped in the former residence, and the residence was built according to the temple.

With the rise of the status of Confucius and his descendants, Kong's residences expanded day by day. In the Cao Wei period, houses were widely used outside the temple to house scholars and set up teaching lectures.

During the Baoyuan period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the Confucian Mansion began to be expanded. After it was named Yan Shenggong, a new one was built, called Yan Shenggong Mansion.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu ordered Yanshenggong to set up a court office, and specially ordered to rebuild the mansion east of Queli's former residence.

Since then, Yansheng Gong's mansion has become a country within a country. During the festivals, local officials have to visit the door, and even those with low official positions cannot enter the threshold of the Confucian family.

When Jin Yiwei came to the door with the driving post, the whole Kong family was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Although the Kong Zhiping sent out was not a direct descendant, he was the Kong family after all, representing Duke Yansheng outside.

Now that people are arrested and sent to Zhao Prison, they are still sent a driving letter?

This is unprecedented!
You must know that Kong Yanjin, the current Duke of Yansheng, is not only the Duke, but also the Crown Prince and Taibao. With his status, even if he comes to Beijing for an audience, the cabinet scholars will stand aside when they see him.

Why did Jin Yiwei give Yan Shenggong a driver's note, why?
Because once the driver's sticker is issued, the person concerned must report to Jinyiwei Dianmao.

This is equivalent to a court summons for later generations.

Is there still a king's law for sending a subpoena to Yanshenggong's mansion, is there still a law?
Moreover, it was a subpoena directly issued to Duke Yansheng himself, without showing any sympathy at all!
Not to mention being convicted, even morally, no one dares to criticize.

Therefore, when Jin Yiwei came to the door, the atmosphere became very awkward.

After hearing the news, the local government was shocked. First, the county magistrate of Qufu, then the prefect of Jining, and finally even the Shandong envoy.

However, Jin Yiwei didn't care about this, he put down his driving invitation and went back to Beijing.

The general meaning is that we have sent the subpoena, and it is up to you whether you go or not.

Of course, if you don't go, Jin Yiwei may come again, but this time it's not a summons, but an arrest warrant.

When this incident was full of turmoil, Kong Yanjin seemed very calm.

In all dynasties, Duke Yan Sheng has never been convicted.

After thinking about it, go and go, what is there to be afraid of?

Behind the Kong family are millions of scholars in the world. Even the emperor, if he wants to convict himself, he has to weigh it carefully.

Therefore, the Confucian government sent a large number of people to escort Kong Yanjin to Beijing.

At the same time, there were already snowflakes of memorials from the court, and they flew into the cabinet one after another.

Not only Beijing officials, but local officials from all over the world also played.

Of course, everyone didn't dare to scold Jin Yiwei this time. Jin Yiwei has been in full swing recently and has arrested too many officials. Who can guarantee that if you scold today, you will receive a driving letter tomorrow?

It's just that most of the memorials expressed concern about this matter, and quoted scriptures to show the importance of Yan Shenggong.

If Yan Shenggong could be humiliated, wouldn't all scholars in the world be humiliated?

At this time, only Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were in the cabinet, and they were also at a loss, looking at the memorials sent from various places, at a loss.

"Cao Gong, look at this..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything!"

Cao Nai waved his hands again and again. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be behind the times.

Jin Yiwei only listened to the emperor alone, which meant that the emperor wanted to trouble Yan Shenggong.

How to do?
How the hell do I know what to do!
…………

Jinyiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

Zhu Ji came in a hurry: "My lord, people from the Confucian family have come to Beijing to see you."

Yuan Bin was not surprised by this, he nodded calmly and said, "In that case, summon me immediately!"

But Zhu Ji said again: "My lord, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient at this time."

Yuan Bin was puzzled and said, "What do you mean by inconvenience?"

Zhu Ji said truthfully, "Before Nayan Shenggong entered the city, many ministers and scholars went to welcome him ten miles outside the city."

Yuan Bin frowned, and asked again, "Who are there?"

"There are a lot of people in the court, and most of them have gone, or they have sent their own nephews to the government office of the six departments and nine ministers. Almost half of them have asked for leave. Besides... there are..."

"It's so grand, the emperor sent him back to the palace, and he didn't have such grandeur!"

Before Zhu Ji could continue speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Bin, and anger gradually rose in his eyes.

Jin Yiwei's driving post represents the meaning of the emperor. Even if you, Yan Shenggong, are the top scholars in the world, if you put on such a high-profile posture, isn't it clear that you are against the emperor?
On weekdays, those civil servants would call Jin Yiwei the imperial court's eagle dog. Well, I am an eagle dog. Whoever opposes the emperor will have a dead end!
At this time, Zhu Ji said again: "When I came here, I met some acquaintances and said something..."

Yuan Bin asked, "What did you say?"

"I hope Jin Yiwei...don't embarrass Duke Yan..."

Yuan Bin's face gradually darkened, of course he knew what these people were thinking.

This matter is too big to end well.

Those in the court who had good intentions towards Jin Yiwei were worried that Yuan Bin would poke a hornet's nest and make things out of control.

More people regard Jin Yiwei as an unshakable hatred, and if they dare to touch a hair of Yan Shenggong, this is digging their roots!

Yuan Bin asked again: "Approximately how many people went?"

"Look at the posture, there are not ten thousand, there are eight thousand. There are so many people outside the city that the sedan chair can't be crowded."

Yuan Bin sneered suddenly, and said, "Don't bother with these people, you just take someone to summon Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yanjin, whether he comes or not is his business, there are ways to come, and there is no way to come if you don't come !"

"Yes!"

Zhu Ji nodded, without any hesitation, he called people out of the city.

No matter how the officials react, at least in Beizhen Fusi, everyone only recognizes Yuan Bin.

After Zhu Ji left, Yuan Bin also stood up, and immediately led people to Zhao Prison.

On the side of Zhao prison, there are hundreds of school captains, they have already lined up in a row, all of them are wearing brand-new fish suits, with embroidered spring knives on their waists, all of them are standing straight, motionless.

Seeing Yuan Bin coming, they all saluted in unison.

Yuan Bin came to the crowd, glanced around first, and then said sharply: "Cheer up your spirits, guard the intersections here, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my approval except those who summoned them. Whoever dares to take a step beyond the threshold, cut first and play later!"

All the captains replied in unison: "Yes!"

Yuan Bin continued to order: "Allocate another team of troops to guard the nearby streets and alleys. All the spies and secret spies will be mobilized for me. The East Factory will send someone to spread a word, saying that from today onwards, they will Assisting the Jinyiwei in doing things, this is the emperor's personal order, if something goes wrong, no matter who it is, they will not be able to escape!"

Everyone responded in unison, Yuan Bin has supreme authority in Jinyiwei.

As long as there is an order, no matter who it is, how big the official is, even if it is a cabinet minister, it will be taken.

Although in the temple, Yuan Bin has almost no contacts.

But behind Jin Yiwei is the emperor, and there is no need to have any fear of doing things for the emperor.

As the northern frontier extended to the banks of the Onan River, the Jinyiwei system was also expanding.

Today, under the jurisdiction of Beizhen Prefecture, a Western Thousand Households Office has been specially built to spy on intelligence from overseas countries.

In the areas of Hami, Monan, and Mobei, three thousand-household offices were added.

These three Thousand Household Offices have different divisions of labor, and they mainly carry out spying activities in the northwest, northeast, and Mobei border areas.

There is even another branch that is dedicated to exploring the extreme north.

The establishment of a large number of institutions makes the Jinyiwei system highly mobile. As long as you work hard, within a few years, it is possible to go directly from an ordinary school captain to a hundred or a thousand households.

In addition, their current treatment is much better than before.

Nowadays, everyone in Jinyiwei knows that following Commander Yuan's envoys will definitely be popular and hot.

Even their family members have been properly resettled.

Of course, if it is a higher level of pursuit, it is a sense of honor.

In just over a year, how many major cases have been investigated and how many credits have been made, these are all countless.

In fact, none of the school captains is a fool, so they naturally know who is going to be summoned today.

Yuan Bin issued an order, and hundreds of people immediately took action, and all of a sudden, inside and outside the Zhao prison, there was a chill.

On the outskirts of the capital, before Kong Yanjin entered the capital, he was a little apprehensive.

But when I arrived in the capital, I saw a sea of ​​people here, and I felt at ease, so I greeted everyone, and then was welcomed into the city by everyone.

But as soon as they entered the city, they immediately saw a group of brocade guards standing with swords in their arms, all of them showing stern expressions.

Among the crowd, someone stepped forward and said, "I am..."

"Go away!"

Zhu Ji spit out two words sharply, and then said with a cold face: "At the order of Jin Yiwei's commander, I came here to summon Yan Shenggong. It has nothing to do with anyone. Please don't approach him. If you dare to obstruct the official duties, Jin Yiwei has the right to do so." Cut first and play later!"

Clang!

There was a sound of a steel knife being unsheathed, and dozens of captains pulled out half of the knife in unison.

The shining blade suddenly made people feel timid.
