I'm really not doing business

Chapter 485 Who led His Majesty astray?
The Six Sections of the Six Section Gallery also had something to say in the matter. Although Wang Chonggu had such a good goal and did not attack, he insisted on talking about the Beijing camp's attack on Suiyuan. Everyone remembers the incident when His Majesty killed Chen Youren in the street. Chen Youren wrote He wrote the yin and yang "Pinging the Japanese", tried his best to whitewash the Japanese pirates, and poured dirty water on Qi Shuai, and was finally killed by His Majesty in the street!
The emperor killed people in the street.

The Ministry of Rites followed up and wrote the "Eastern Expedition", which described in detail the atrocities committed by the Japanese pirates and the strictness of Commander Qi in controlling the troops.

Reporting to the emperor to rescue the head of Guizhou is the result of long-term practice, not a slogan, but a fact.

There are some things you can touch, Wang Chonggu, just scold him. Who made Wang Chonggu make a bigger mistake than the sky? Even Zhang Juzheng is always wary of Wang Chonggu.

There are some things that cannot be touched. Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang are the pillars that make His Majesty the emperor when he is in doubt. As long as the emperor's heart is warm, he will do his best to protect everything.

The development of things is always beyond everyone's expectation. The issue of the Suiyuan branch received an immediate response after the price reduction and the exile of Yan Guan. This also confirmed Qi Jiguang's judgment of the scholar-bureaucrats. After that, start repeating immediately.

The Ming Dynasty’s capital camp can resume training as scheduled.

According to the estimates of the Ministry of Rites, the literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty exceeded 25%. This does not mean that those who can only write their own names are called literate, but the number of people who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics exceeded 25%. This means that there were too many wives in the Ming Dynasty. There were too many scholars, and they could not live a stable life. With more people, competition would be greater, and they could not engage in low-level jobs, otherwise it would be an insult to politeness. The scholar-bureaucrats hoped that the emperor would raise prices again, but in the end, they lowered prices.

Therefore, the problem of the Suiyuan branch has been alleviated, and with the establishment of the third-level school, this problem can be further alleviated.

The absurd events after King Lu's wedding slowly came to an end, and the public opinion about King Lu's vassalship also came to an abrupt end, because an insider revealed that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty planned to seal the vassal overseas. People familiar with the matter further revealed that because of His Highness King Lu's greed, Due to his unique nature and absurd style, the maritime merchants may have no way to complain if they seal the vassal overseas.

He picked up a memorial, opened it, read it, picked up the ink pen and wrote: "The General Xian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Hai Rui, and Li Youzi, together with the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Juzheng, issued an edict to depose Wai Lang Ai Mu, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, Jiangxi Province, and a total of two hundred people." Sixty-four members.”

"Yeah." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and agreed with Feng Bao's statement.

This contradiction is also long-term and is a contradiction between the means of production.

The second contradiction is that the New Deal still benefits meat eaters. The contradiction between meat eaters and producers has not been significantly alleviated. Some farmers and tenants even bear the tax pressure brought by the Qingzhang. This is why the tax inspectorate is The reason why I gnash my teeth with hatred is that the implementation of the New Deal was carried out step by step with the restoration of administrative capabilities, and the relationship of strong personal dependence has not changed significantly.

The third contradiction is the cultural contradiction between the superstructure and the underlying foundation. The New Deal mainly benefits the meat eaters. The liberal changes of the Songjiang School represent the benefits of the meat eaters from the New Deal. Zhang Ju is allocating volumes to discuss this issue. It is already very clear that they also suffered from the pain of the reform, but when the meat eaters benefited more, the poor coolies became the victims.

The first is the high concentration of imperial power and the contradiction between various classes' demands for power.

"Hai Gangfeng, if you are called a cruel official in the future, it is all my fault. I did not use this divine sword well."

There were only 300 Jinshi in the third year of the Ming Dynasty. Among the 264, 54 were Jinshi, and the rest were candidates. Deprivation of official status and honors was the standard procedure for dismissal from office during the Wanli period. Those who went home, He no longer enjoys tax and judicial privileges, and cannot become a rural virtuous gentleman.

Feng Bao thought for a moment and said: "Wang Cifu is so cautious now. It is obvious that His Majesty has shown it. In order to save the whole family, Wang Cifu is even willing to give out money. He admires the silver reward treasury of Guchi Road, Dujiangyan Water Conservancy, and the third-level school."

Physically eliminating the emperor, Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu, the core of the reform, is the best way. This seems to be the optimal solution. No matter who of these three reform cores dies, the Ming Dynasty's New Deal will come to an abrupt end, but the problem is: the Ming Dynasty To take extreme precautions against this, the Ming Emperor no longer even stayed in the palace. The personnel structure of Tonghe Palace was simple and heavily guarded. The emperor was always wary of scholar-bureaucrats.

This huge inequality in education is accelerating the tearing apart of the Ming Dynasty, and the official factory regiments, engineer regiments and camps, and the three-level schools surrounding craftsmen and soldiers are designed to ease this tearing and contradiction.

Zhu Yijun put down a memorial in his hand that impeached Wang Chonggu and said: "What Xiao Dehui, the chief minister of Guanglu Temple, said is very reasonable. In the memorial, he mentioned Wang Chonggu's transgression, Zhang Siwei's assassination of the king and the burning of the palace, reminding I need to be wary of Wang Cifu's disloyalty. He is right. Isn't my wary of Wang Cifu so obvious? "

"That makes sense." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Xiao Dehui is not Wang Cifu. He can't feel the pressure or the sharp blade above his head."

In March of the tenth year of Wanli, before the spring had passed, Hai Rui joined forces with the Ministry of Civil Affairs to deprive 264 officials at all levels of their official status.

The old nobles are even less willing to cause "civilian unrest" to resist, such as further increasing land rents, prompting tenants to leave their fields and become refugees, increasing social instability, which is caused by physical distance.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is far away, and the granary of the old nobles is right in front of them. There are too many refugees. When they rise up, it is inevitable that the old nobles will die first.

The Wanli Restoration is profoundly changing the country of the Ming Dynasty. All aspects, politics, military, economy and lifestyle, have undergone earth-shaking changes with the influx of large amounts of silver and the implementation of the New Deal. In the process of this drastic change, the Ming Dynasty is gradually becoming Powerful, but the process of restoration also contained sharp contradictions.

The commonly used outdated method of falling into the water seems very immature.

The reforms implemented by the imperial court will definitely arouse fierce opposition from those with vested interests in the past. The political ecology of the feudal monarchy suppresses and excludes different political opinions, and the exile of humble Confucians to the Suiyuan branch and the dredging of the Wujiang River in Guizhou are the most typical examples of suppression and rejection. Exclusion will definitely prompt the old nobles to adopt more extreme methods to prove their existence.

Over the years, Hai Rui, the magic sword, was the number one person in the Ming Dynasty’s anti-corruption campaign. When the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs noticed that they were low-ranking officials, Hai Rui would check it out. Normally, low-ranking officials would have problems. Hai Rui's good reputation was ruined by the emperor Zhu Yijun.

This contradiction is also long-term and is a contradiction of social fairness.

"If he hadn't sensed the danger, it might not have been easy for Wang Cifu to cough up the money."

This is an intuitive reflection of strict hierarchy and class. Higher classes can mobilize more social resources to protect themselves.

Now in the minds of the scholar-bureaucrats, Hai Rui was the emperor's lackey, a supporter of rebellion, and a cruel official who harmed his colleagues.

The solution given by Wang Chonggu is more material, and the solution given by Zhang Juzheng is more currency. This is not a question of who is better and who is worse. Without Zhang Juzheng's New Deal, administrative power has not been restored, and whatever Wang Chonggu wants to do will be in vain. blind.

Moreover, the negative consequences of civil unrest will not only disgust the emperor, but also accelerate the formation of local engineering corps and battalions. The production methods of the engineering corps and battalions will crush and drastically change the old, feudal, and dependent production relations. , for the old nobles, it is better to kowtow and become loyal ministers. At least His Majesty's reform is still focused on stability.

Your Majesty has cards in his hand that can deal with the old nobles' attempts to hijack the people's self-respect. This is why Wang Chonggu deserves to die. It was all Wang Chonggu's engineer battalion that caused the Ming Dynasty to be in chaos!
His Majesty has two cards in his hand, which the old nobles are most afraid of. The first is Sea Trade, and the second is the Engineer Regiment Camp.

Alleviating the three main contradictions is the internal reason for the current system design of the Ming Dynasty.

The Wanli Reform, which started with Zhang Juzheng's New Deal, used various policies from the beginning to increase the authority of the court and the emperor to change the current situation of the country suffering from five diseases. It was to consolidate the imperial power. The emperor was the foundation of all new deals, so ten years later In the tenth year of Wanli, imperial power was once again highly concentrated in the hands of the emperor himself. However, the scholars who were accustomed to Taoist Fenxiu and Longqing Shenyin were obviously dissatisfied with this situation.

Only by restoring the land and clearing it out can we significantly alleviate the contradiction between man and land, and the contradiction between producers and meat eaters.

The census of Dingkou and the abolition of humble status were part of the plan to equalize the land.

Ming Dynasty is really too big and tolerant to accommodate these two ideas.

"Have I treated Wang Cifu poorly?" Zhu Yijun asked after thinking for a while.

"Mr. Hai was happy with it." Feng Bao felt that Hai Rui didn't care much about his reputation. When people scolded him like that, Hai Rui never retorted, and every time he killed corrupt officials and incompetent people. At that time, the excitement shown by Hai Rui was from the joy from the heart, which meant that another group of insects had been eliminated!
In Hai Rui's value system of monarch-monarch and minister-minister for thousands of years, his biggest concern is actually the emperor. In Hai Rui's view, if the emperor is wise, the country will be strong, and if the emperor is foolish, the country will perish. All the important tasks in the world rest on the emperor alone. Everyone in the world is selfish, only Your Majesty is impartial. This kind of supporters of the proposition.

Although the news came in a haphazard manner, from the Ming Emperor's firm determination to open the sea, we knew that His Majesty probably really had this plan.

This contradiction is long-term and is the contradiction between centralized power and decentralized power.

Hai Rui had nothing to say about His Majesty's diligence. Instead, he was worried that His Majesty would be too diligent and might end up in trouble.

Feng Bao chose to tell the truth. Compared with His Majesty's protection of Zhang Juzheng and Qi Shuai, Wang Chonggu also did a lot. His Majesty never helped Wang Chonggu.

Opening up the sea is an issue that the maritime merchants do not want to discuss. The interests are too huge. It is better to maintain the status quo and let Prince Lu continue to fool around in the capital. He is just a prince, not his majesty.

Feng Bao thought for a moment and said: "I think that I am indeed a bit biased. I am doing things for His Majesty. Your Majesty has never protected Wang Cifu."

From the serial impeachment of Wang Chonggu and the crazy opposition to Wang Chonggu in miscellaneous newspapers, we can see the huge dissatisfaction among the scholar-bureaucrats over the fact that the imperial court was too long-handed, too lenient, and too strict.

"This divine sword is indeed sharp." Zhu Yijun said sincerely after reading the memorial.

This large-scale edict caused a major earthquake in the officialdom in Jiangxi. Last year, in addition to the original amount of ponds and ponds among the officials and citizens of the sixty-six prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, they acquired 615 hectares and acres of land, totaling Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were measured.

Hai Rui immediately smelled it. Fields would not appear or disappear for no reason, so Hai Rui wanted to find out what happened to these six million acres of fields.

I soon found out that it had a lot to do with corruption. These 615 million acres of land were previously protected by local officials in Jiangxi.

Pan Jixun killed many people during the locust plague in the third year of Wanli, forcing Jiangxi Province to provide grain relief. The new governor of Jiangxi, Wang Lin, discovered the 615 million acres of farmland after he took office. Wang Lin finally chose punctured.

Wang Lin had no choice. If he didn't light this thunder, he would be the one to be bombed by these six million acres of land. Luo Yao, the former governor of Sichuan, as a direct descendant of Zhang's party, was punished by Zhang Juzheng without any extrajudicial mercy. the meaning of. Wang Lin and Zhang Juzheng were on the same list as Jinshi, and they often had political differences. These six million acres of extra land were a bomb under his belt. If he didn't take the initiative to report it, once anyone knew about it, Wang Lin would probably end up worse than Luo Yao. Be miserable.

Many things in the world are like this. If you don't want others to know, you can't do anything except yourself. There is no airtight wall in the world. There are six million acres of land. Jiangxi ground officials are really brave.

Wang Lin and Zhang Juzheng had different political views, mainly because of the legal examination. Wang Lin felt that Zhang Juzheng was harsh on officials. Everyone was an official in the same dynasty, and they didn't look up when they looked down. What did it mean to put shackles on all officials? Wang Lin became an official for this reason, but now Wang Lin feels that Zhang Juzheng's examination method is too conservative.

This is 6 million acres of land, and Jiangxi ground officials dare to condone it and hide it! I'm really not afraid of things happening.

Hai Rui followed these six million acres of land, caught a group of 264 corrupt officials, and punished them all.

Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Hai Rui's memorial. Zhu approved: "The general constitution is in the dynasty, the weather is rocky, and the rules are very clear. All the ministers hate it, and there is nothing to talk about. The general constitution has contributed to the country. There are some noises, so don't pay attention to them. I I know that your love is strong and upright. ]
Hai Rui, feel free to rush forward, I will fully support you from behind!

In the first year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun ordered Hai Rui to return to the court. In fact, he was using Hai Rui to block the chatter of officials. When Hai Rui began to fight corruption, Zhu Yijun realized that this magic sword had injected a heavy blow into the lifeless officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. A completely different atmosphere, this atmosphere is called Gufenzhengqi.

This divine sword is quite easy to use.

Wang Chonggu seemed to be trapped in an isolated and helpless dilemma. He was Zhang Juzheng's political enemy. When the Ming Dynasty was attacking Bansheng, Wang Chonggu went inward to clean up the moths of the Jin Party, and then asked the peasants to equalize the land and cut him off from the rural gentry and powerful gentry. If you want to be right-minded and build a third-level school in the engineering regiment camp, you will offend the scholar-bureaucrats.

When everyone felt that Wang Chonggu was easy to bully and planned to add insult to injury, Wang Chonggu seemed to fight back.

On March 20, the 10th year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu finally returned to the capital after completing his three-day work at the Xishan Coal Bureau and the Yongding Official Factory. When he planned to overthrow the king's Yanguan and prepared to attack Wang Cifu, the capital officials were surprised to find that , there was a fire in his backyard.

A demon book spread quickly in the streets of Jingtang. It contained twenty censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the foreign chambers raised by the six subjects for Shi Zhong. One by one, the censors and the outer chambers were named by their surnames and illustrated with pictures and texts. "A Little Story That Must Be Told", a twenty-page booklet, directly ignited the entire capital, and there was a lot of discussion.

It turns out that these guys who call themselves Qingliu are having so much fun! Behind the sanctimoniousness, there are all these sloppy things.

Wang Chonggu was indeed very cautious in his private life. After the death of his first wife, even if there was only one rebellious son like Wang Qian, Wang Chonggu did not cause scandals such as the foreign concubine. However, among these Qingliu and twenty censors, there was more than one concubine. .

"Son, why bother." Wang Chonggu took a day off from work after finishing his three must-dos, and took a day off to recuperate his energy. He is not young, and high-intensity work is indeed very tiring, but no matter how tired he is, he is not tired. Wang Chonggu He is a living person, and sometimes he is a little confused.

Is it really worth it for me to charge into battle like this?
The emperor granted Wang Chonggu's request for leave. Wang Chonggu slept until midnight. When he woke up, he saw this demonic book.

The matter was done by Wang Qian. Like father, like son. Wang Qian has never been an upright person. He himself admitted that both father and son are traitors. Since they are traitors, they must do the work that traitors should do.

Wang Qian said very stubbornly: "Isn't it reputation that Qingliu relies on? I wonder if they have the time to criticize their father if they lose their reputation this time. The third-level school is obviously a great thing to promote Wenjiao, but when it comes to their mouths, it turns out that It has become a counter-policy that shakes the country, and the child is dissatisfied!"

Wang Qian is a very stubborn person. Judging from the many times that he and his father had completely different ideas, it can be seen that he is quite rebellious. According to Wang Chonggu's original plan, he was to ignore it. He was really scolded. This drama has been going on for ten years. Now Wang Chonggu can borrow strength from His Majesty. This is the greatest confidence for him to implement the New Deal.

Wang Qian does not think that being a coward is a good way to deal with it. Wang Qian not only refuses to be a coward, but also wants to fight back, and he wants to kill him with one blow. He attacks Qingliu's Achilles' heel, fame. Over the years, Wang Qian collected a lot of dirty information and peeled off Qingliu's skin to let the world see their true colors.

Wang Chonggu said helplessly: "Actually, it's nothing. They have been nagging Zhang Juzheng for ten years. Has there been any result? Your Majesty is wise and wise. If they can't fool His Majesty, nothing will happen to our family. If you don't resist, you won't be a coward. It is necessary. If a party dispute breaks out, it will be hard to escape the blame. Instead of swearing a few words, maintaining the situation without breaking through the struggle is the most important thing. "

"You are just young and too energetic."

Wang Chonggu himself is a conservative. He doesn't want to break up with each other, which will make everyone lose face. He will be scolded a few times, and his majesty will not allow his official memorial. It will be no big deal.

Wang Qian frowned, thought for a while and said, "Is there a possibility that my father is old?"

The corners of Wang Chonggu's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth. He looked at Wang Qian with some disbelief and asked, "Son, do you think your father's life is too long? Are you really so anxious to inherit the family property?"

Wang Qian said with great certainty: "How much property do you have? I deposited 112 million silver with Your Majesty and bought a silver Suiyuan Chidao in Yanxing Building. If nothing else, my child At his age, he should be much richer than his father."

In this regard, he is very confident that Suiyuan Chidao has not skyrocketed now, but he is optimistic about the long term. Once the number of Ming steam engines begins to develop rapidly, the ticket price of Suiyuan Chidao will soar at an alarming rate.

Wang Chonggu leaned heavily on the back of his chair and said with an annoyed look on his face: "When you were able to dance with the Seven Star Ring Head Sword, it was time to chop you into pieces. Anyway, you have a grandson."

"My father is the only son he has, and he can't bear to part with him." Wang Qian is full of confidence, and this has been proven by practice. He said with a smile on his face: "My father chased the child for two streets before. He is getting stronger with age and his sword is still young. I have found two Persian beauties for my father and have sent them to my father's room."

All kinds of sweet words can deceive, but Niuzi will not.

Wang Qian prefers Persian beauties to red-haired and golden-haired pigs. In his eyes, red-haired and golden-haired pigs are both hairless pigs with smells that need to be masked by perfume and thick body hair. Wang Qian prefers them. Qian doesn't like it.

Wang Qian has read the theories of superiority and inferiority of Jie Ku Yuan. Judging from the beauty of the world, Wang Qian thinks Jie Ku Yuan's theory makes sense.

"You are really filial." Wang Chonggu laughed angrily. At his age, how could he show his filial piety to a Persian beauty? !
"Dad, let me ask you, after pulling off Qingliu's skin and exposing them naked to the world, and the child having done this demon book, does Dad feel much better?!" Wang Qian leaned forward and said, asked curiously.

Wang Chonggu thought for a while, nodded solemnly, looked at Wang Qian and said: "I used to implement the three bets and three musts at Xishan Coal Bureau. In fact, I was somewhat trying to avoid disaster. Alas, we Ming scholars, it is really ugly to curse people. , I was a little frustrated when I saw it, but to be honest, it was really refreshing.”

There is no need to lie. Wang Chonggu was hiding in Xishan Coal Bureau and wanted to take action more than once. He had a violent and irritable personality. Although he deliberately restrained himself, he wanted to take action more than once. In the end, he put the overall situation first and held back.

"My child is not fooling around. A few days ago, His Majesty ordered my child to enter Tonghe Gongyu's study room. After asking about the transaction of Yanxing Tower, he said to my child: It is really annoying that these officials are chattering. As a son of man, you should be filial. If there is any There is no need to hide a good strategy.”

"The child asked: If we start to take action, what is more appropriate? Your Majesty's Holy Order: The cheap Confucians are riding on the neck of the old Wang family to show off their power. How far can we go? The child took the idea of ​​​​the demon book I told your majesty that the demon book was printed by the Sanjing Factory." Wang Qian told Wang Chonggu the whole story.

Wang Qian is not that capable yet.

Except for the materials provided by him, it was all done by His Majesty. The demon book was printed by the internal Sanjing Factory. It was distributed everywhere by Tiqi and given to the three aunts and six wives for them to spread. Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, was responsible for the finishing touches and sprinkled water for washing. Really, the whole process is highlighted by a silky smoothness.

An emperor protects a minister very well without even using administrative power. This further strengthens Wang Qian's worship of authority. Wang Qian has always been a believer in authority. He does not believe in Ming law, but only believes in the emperor's promise, even if It was the emperor who did not fulfill his promise.

"Your Majesty did it?" Wang Chonggu shuddered and sat up abruptly. His waist and legs no longer felt sore, and he felt full of energy. The confusion in his heart immediately disappeared.

Wang Qian nodded and said: "Yes, our bookshop, where can we print books and periodicals of that quality?"

Produced by the Sanjing Factory, it is the written evidence given by His Majesty to Wang Qianli, and the Emperor will carry it when something goes wrong.

Wang Qian looked around and lowered his head and said: "The first issue of the Demon Book is a lesson. It clearly says "To be continued" on it. Once these Qingliu continue to chatter, the second issue will be printed and engraved. If these Qingliu are still If you are so shameless, Your Majesty will ask Hai Rui to take action."

"How many truly honest officials like Hai Rui are there in our Ming Dynasty who are neither corrupt nor corrupt?"

"Very good." Wang Chonggu stretched himself and felt that he had endless energy. After he died, His Majesty would not vent his anger by knocking down his tombstone. What he did was not meaningless!
Wang Chonggu could not defeat Zhang Juzheng, let alone Zhang Juzheng who had the support of His Majesty. Now, Wang Chonggu also had the support of His Majesty.

Do you think Zhang Juzheng is a capable minister who can revolutionize the past and create new things?
"Oh, that's not good." Wang Chonggu slapped the table and said, "Didn't this lead His Majesty astray? His Majesty has always been on the road before, and these methods and tricks, didn't he lead His Majesty astray?"

The king should travel on the high road, act openly and openly, and use such underhanded methods, which is somewhat unbecoming of a king.

"Father, are you sure it was us who led His Majesty astray?" Wang Qian said with confusion on his face: "I think it was Zhang Juzheng who taught His Majesty these methods. Your Majesty is so skilled that even Wan Dazai finished the job. They were all prepared and their methods were so skillful that I was shocked to see them.”

Your Majesty indeed advocates the journey of the Dao. He has said and done so over the years, and has done many things on the surface. However, this time, Wang Qian felt that it was not that His Majesty did not know how to use it before, but that he was too lazy to use it. Wang Qian, who is really skilled, felt that Too silky.

If Zhang Juzheng were here, he would definitely be furious. He had never taught the emperor any dirty tricks. Everything else would be blamed on him! He is not a basket, anything can be put in it! Insidious damage is the usual method of your old Wang family, not Zhang Juzheng's special skill!
It is really not what Zhang Juzheng teaches, nor what Wang Chonggu teaches. The main reason is that Zhu Yijun has seen too much, and it is Ruizhe Tiancheng.

"That's right, the emperor's tutor is Zhang Juzheng. His Majesty's moral conduct should be advised by the Taifu. It has nothing to do with us." Wang Chonggu relaxed. He was not the emperor's tutor. When Fan Yingqi and Wang Jiaping went to teach the emperor, they were asked by the emperor. I am speechless, this is all clearly recorded, Wang Chonggu has never taught it, and the Spring and Autumn Period judgment is not his fault.

The demon book quickly spread from the capital to Nanya, and then spread all over the country. The speed of information circulation was accelerating. In addition to the dirty information in the capital, the censors of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate were also troubled because of the publication of the book in Nanjing. The black material comes from Nanjing Kedao Yanguan. There are twenty identical people, which can be regarded as adapted to local conditions.
