The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 113 Calm things down?No! (five more)

Yang Tinghe supported Li Guang's opinion.

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? Why? Please tell Master Yang clearly."

Yang Tinghe took a sip of tea: "The reason is very complicated."

"If this matter is made public, the emperor will have to send someone to thoroughly investigate such a lurid case. Then there will be a big prison. The southeast will be chaotic."

"I once told Chang Qianhu that the southeast is an important area of ​​finance and taxation for the imperial court. If there is chaos in the southeast, the imperial court's finances will inevitably be unable to make ends meet."

Fatty Xu interjected: "The national treasury can't suffer. If you catch the criminal, you have to ransack the house. I've heard that the gentry in the southeast are the richest in the world. Why don't you copy hundreds of millions of silver?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head slightly: "You call it exhausting the marsh to fish. In the long run, it's still not good for the court's finances."

"Also, if the emperor wiped out the southeast gentry and ransacked their homes, how will history books and future generations evaluate the emperor?"

"When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and changed the country's name, he killed all the gentry in the southeast and took all their wealth? Later generations will say that the emperor is a cruel, heartless, greedy and good-for-goods king!"

"Don't forget, history books are written by literati. If you look at the ancestral home of the literati in Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that most of them are in the southeast!"

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "It makes sense."

Yang Tinghe said: "For the long-term peace and stability of the imperial court. For the holy name of the emperor. We must calm things down."

Li Guang smiled brightly: "Why don't you say that Master Yang is a well-known young talent in the court. What you say makes sense and stands up."

"Come on! The imperial envoys have spoken. Chang Qianhu, burn the confession quickly."

Chang Feng hesitated a bit.

Li Guang persuaded him: "Don't be dumbfounded. I said Chang Qianhu, you are the benefactor of Queen Zhang, the grandson of the old inner minister, and you are favored by the emperor. The future is boundless."

"Why bother asking for trouble. Go against a bunch of officials and gentry in the southeast?"

"I said something that didn't please you. Even if you want to die, don't drag people like us as a backstop!"

Chang Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling: "You two little uncles, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Heling licked his honey and said: "We don't understand what you are talking about. Anyway, we will do whatever Big Brother Chang says."

"Our eldest sister said it. I went to Beijing with Brother Chang on business. If you let us go east, we can't go west. If you let us shit, we can't fart!"

Chang Feng was confused again.

Yang Tinghe directly snatched the confession form from Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Master Yang, you"

Yang Tinghe put the confession beside the candle to ignite it, and then threw it into the copper basin next to it.

Yang Tinghe muttered: "The southeast cannot be chaotic. The new king is just established, and the court cannot be chaotic."

Li Guangdao: "Hey, good! Now the confession has been burned. You Tianjue, come in!"

You Tianjue heard Li Guang's shout, opened the door and entered.

Li Guang ordered: "Go out and kill that spy! Damn, he's in collusion with Japanese pirates, he will die badly! Stab him a few more times!"

You Tianjue cupped his hands: "Yes."

Chang Feng did not stop You Tianjue, and remained silent.

The confession has been burned, and the spy Zhao Sanhu is also dead.The Four Seas Club's case of Tongwa has no proof.

However, Chang Feng always had a breath in his heart.He was angry with those officials and gentry, and regarded the coastal people as two-legged sheep.For their own benefit, regardless of the life and death of the people.

They are real traitors!
Chang Feng didn't want to let it go.He wanted to teach the southeast officials and gentry a lesson.But for the time being, there is no good way.We have to think long-term.

At night, he couldn't sleep.Came outside the bedroom.

Yang Tinghe didn't fall asleep either.Sitting on a chair looking at a bright moon in the sky.

Chang Feng sat opposite to Yang Tinghe: "Master Yang, I feel unwilling."

Yang Tinghe said: "It doesn't matter whether you are an official, a person, or doing things. How can you do what you want?"

"Major murderous cases like the Kongyin case, the Lanyu case, and the Hu Weiyong case can appear in the Hongwu Dynasty, but they cannot appear in this dynasty."

"Lord Hong Wu is the founding king of the country. He brought down the world. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do."

"The current emperor is different. He has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is not stable. There will be a big prison, fear."

Yang Tinghe originally wanted to say "the country has changed", but he never said it.

Chang Feng said: "I know, Mr. Yang, you are looking at the overall situation."

Yang Tinghe said: "It's still the same old saying. In fact, the previous emperors and the current emperor have a more or less understanding of the tricks in the southeast."

"There is a reason why they choose to turn a blind eye!"

"As long as the gentry in the southeast pay their taxes honestly and support the treasury. There are some things that we can only turn a blind eye to."

The Japanese pirates have retreated.It's time for Chang Feng and the others to leave Yongningwei and head south to Haojing.

You Tianjue took 100 people and escorted them southward.

After traveling for fifty miles, You Tianjue said: "Everyone on a mission, two or three miles to the south will be the jurisdiction of Chongwuwei. At the end of the day, we will return with Paoze."

Chang Feng asked: "You Zhenfu. There is one thing that I have always wondered about. Yongning is the guard. As the chief general of Yongning Weicheng, you should be the commander. Why only Zhenfu?"

You Tianjue explained: "Cough. All the descendants of the You family are hereditary commanders. However, after my father died, I went to Beijing to go to the Ministry of War to go through the formalities of attacking my post. I didn't have enough money."

"I can't be filial to the head of the Wuxuan Division. Once the head is not happy, he changes my third-rank commander to the fourth-rank governor."

Chang Fengdao nodded: "I see. You have been guarding Yongning for four years, and you are quite prestigious. Just in yesterday's battle, you killed a thousand enemies."

"After returning to Beijing, I will say hello to the Ministry of War. I will promote you to Commander."

You Tianjue smiled wryly: "Kill the enemy one thousand? Three hundred will be distributed to the superiors who are in the army. Five hundred will be distributed to the superiors of the capital's yamen."

"In the end, it would be great if there are two hundred Japanese pirate heads counted on our Yongning Guard."

Chang Feng comforted him: "Don't worry. I still have a little friendship with Zhengtang of the Ministry of War. If the Ministry of Military Affairs does not promote you back to the world position, I will talk to Ma Butang to reason."

"Ma Butang is a very reasonable person."

You Tianjue cupped his hands: "Thank you very much!"

Chang Feng and others traveled all the way south, and finally arrived at Haojing at the end of May.

Oyster Mirror is actually a small island.Close to the border of Guangdong.Because the coastal islands are under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian, they belong to the territory of Fujian.

Oyster mirror has been the territory of China since ancient times.

Oyster Mirror has another name in later generations: Macau.

Eight hundred miles across the sea from Haojing, there is an island a thousand times larger than Haojing, named Dongfan Island.

Like Haojing, Dongfan Island has been the territory of China since ancient times and is an inalienable part of China.

What is the name of the later generations of Dongfan Island, it is inconvenient to say it here.

On the sixth day of June, Chang Feng and others presented the Sea God Pearl in the Mazu Temple.On behalf of the emperor, he paid homage to the God of the South China Sea.

Chang Feng saw the "English singing and dancing" mentioned by You Tianjue.Sure enough, it is both heroic and elegant.

According to historical records: "In the first year of Hongzhi, the Haojing Mazu Temple was built, and the emperor sent officials to worship it."

The sacrifice is over.Chang Feng didn't intend to let go of those traitors in the southeast who were full of benevolence and morality so easily.
