Win the Ding 1617

ps: Happy Lantern Festival!Where are the monthly tickets and tips?

At night, the sky above the capital was full of snowflakes again, and soon, the heavy snow covered the silver decorations of the streets and houses. ~Top~Point~*In the novel, if the snow falls until dawn, the entire capital city will be like a world of glazed glass, like a palace in the sky.

However, this is the idea of ​​a scholar.Those poor people are drinking porridge, but they don't have the elegant interest of enjoying the snow.

Near Chongwenmen Street, there are several sedan chairs parked inside the gate of a magnificent mansion in a square, and more than a dozen other cars are parked outside the gate. The knife eats stewed cabbage with bacon and tofu. .

Passing through the corridor cleaned by the servants at any time, crossing the living room, and following a circle of lights between the corridors, you will arrive at the master's study room.

Inside the study, a few lamps were lit. Although it was snowing heavily outside, it was still as warm as spring here. The new Minister of Officials, Zheng Sanjun, sat silently on his huanghuali official hat chair, which was padded with thick rugs. Warm mattress.

But in the eyes of Zheng Sanjun, who is commonly known as the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials, he feels like sitting on pins and needles, feeling cold in his heart.

He sat quietly, on the sandalwood desk in front of him, there was a cup of tea, which had been cold for a long time without drinking.

The fire sandwiched between the walls of the study and several exquisite charcoal-fired copper plates seem to be unable to drive away his coldness.Every time he moved, it seemed that there was a bone-piercing cold air, which made him have to wrap the fox fur cloak around him tightly.

However, every time it was wrapped tightly, it was like being pricked by needles.Makes you extremely uncomfortable.The reason is very simple, Zheng Tianguan's black fox cloak is a charcoal tribute from his disciples.It was a top-grade product that was purchased for ten thousand silver dollars from Long Shengxing's shop outside the Chaoyang Gate.

The cloak that he loved ten minutes ago made him very disgusted today.Thinking about what happened in the court today, and thinking about the fact that this cloak was purchased from Li Shouhan's shop, how could this not annoy him?

"Today's matter, what you Yushitai did is really Meng Lang!"

Zheng Sanjun stared coldly at the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sitting opposite him.The Metropolitan Procuratorate is what he calls Yushitai, and the more elegant name is the so-called Baitai.Let the left and the right be the censor, the main second rank; the left and right deputy are both the censor, the main third rank;Positive four products.There are more than [-] censors under the thirteen supervisors.Specialized in correcting and impeaching hundreds of divisions, arguing for injustice, admirals and superintendences, he is the division of the emperor's ears, eyes and discipline.All the ministers are treacherous, the villains form the party, and those who are powerful and disorderly.impeach.All officials who are corrupt and corrupt officials.impeach.Anyone who is not academically correct, who submits a letter to the statement, becomes a constitution, and hopes to use it.impeach.In the case of pilgrimage and inspection, whether to depose the sages of the same official department.The heavy prisoners of the big prison will be sent to the outer dynasty, together with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.It was ordered to the mainland.Follow the foreign land, each specialize in its own order.The thirteen supervisors and censors are in charge of investigating and correcting the evil officials of the internal and external departments, either showing their faces or impeaching them.Brush papers in the inner two capitals, inspect the capital camps, supervise Linxiang, general examinations and military examinations, inspect Guanglu, inspect warehouses, inspect Neiku, imperial city, and five cities, and take turns to watch drums, etc.

"Yes! Your Excellency has taught you the lesson! The students and others have indeed never consulted the Chief Constitutional King for instructions."

Although what happened today was just throwing away a small pawn and a supervisory censor with a seventh-rank rank, but judging from the habit of civil servants controlling the government and suppressing the power of generals and noble eunuchs for many years, this is undoubtedly a big deal. shame.

However, what is even more irritating is that these nobles in the capital are speeding up their transportation cooperation with their relatives in Nanjing, and their ties are getting closer.There is vaguely a matter of taking Li Shouhan as the main force and coming to fight against the civil official group and the Jiangnan group.

This is the most terrible thing!

Most of these people present are people who are closely related to Donglin and Jiangnan forces, and many of them belong to wealthy families in Jiangnan.

"Brother Yongzhang, this is the end of the matter, let's calm down the thunderous anger, let's see what we should do next, we must not let the disaster of the warrior town reappear in Daming!"

Zheng Sanjun's predecessor, Li Rixuan, former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sat next to him across the Huanghuali case,

Li Rixuan spoke slowly, although his tone was flat, but the inner words concealed an unconcealable anger.

The Zheng Sanjun in front of me is also considered a veteran official, a native of Jiande, Chizhou, in the first year of Chongzhen, he was the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Households and in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and in the first month of the eighth year, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was added to the crown prince Shaobao. In the 11th year of Chongzhen, there was a robbery hole In Gongbuyuan, Sanjun drew up classics, and the emperor seized his official position in anger, and the courtiers rescued him, so he promised to be married and redeemed.

He is prudent, especially when he comes back again after being dismissed from office, but he is in the middle of the game and often cannot control himself, just like the disaster in the 11th year of Chongzhen. culprit.

"Between you and me, there are some differences of opinion and different political opinions. However, it is a dispute between gentlemen. No matter who is in power, it is for the Ming Dynasty. However, in the eyes of students, you must not see warriors, nobles, eunuchs, etc. running rampant on the temple. !"

There was a loud "bang", and he slapped the table in front of him heavily. The two cups of tea were beating non-stop.

"Brother Hui, what's your opinion?"

Zheng Sanjun had a playful look on his face.Li Rixuan's military honorable eunuch, no doubt, refers to Li Shouhan and Uncle Li.Among the heavyweights in the court, he was the only one who happened to have these three identities: leading the army, being named Uncle Ning Yuan, and having a close relationship with the eunuchs.

If it weren't for the combination of these three identities on Shou Han alone, the court and Chinese officials would kill him and ruin his reputation.So what about Ning Yuan Bo Li Chengliang back then?After ten victories, didn't he end up living in the capital for many years?As for the matter of eunuchs, it is even simpler. The government and the public echoed together, and with the power of public opinion and saliva of thousands of mouths and tens of thousands of pens, he can also drown him!

But the tricks that are usually used to deal with warriors, nobles, and eunuchs seem to be unable to deal with this freak Li Shouhan!

Withholding food and salary?Using a trick that has been tried and tested for more than a hundred years to strangle Li Shouhan to death?This trick doesn't seem to work. It seems that since this guy was born, he has never used a penny of military pay from the Ming court, nor eaten a grain of rice from the court.Instead, a lot of money and food are donated to the inner court every year.It's a pity that, with treacherous and sycophants running rampant, these money and food cannot go into the national treasury, but are left to the eunuchs to control and squander!

Mobilize and dismantle his soldiers, horses, gunboats?It seems even more impossible!According to the current rules of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shouhan's subordinates are a million men, and if you don't get his nod and consent, you can't even think about transferring a single soldier.Those soldiers, horses, boats and cannons are completely his private property and belong to his servants!Needless to say, the current salary of the Southern Guangdong Army is financed by Li Shouhan himself.It is the servants supported by the generals of the military towns in the inland with the military salary of the Ming Dynasty.Wasn't he taken away in a grand manner when he left office?The number of servants is the embodiment of the strength of the generals.

Last time King Qin, if the cabinet headed by Yang Sichang hadn't joined hands with eunuchs such as Wang Chengen to give Li Shouhan the title of righteousness, loftiness and loyalty to the country, how could he get a powerful army in his hands?

That is, the imperial court does not issue a penny of money and food.With the financial resources of Li Shouhan and Long Shengxing.It is not a problem to raise hundreds of thousands of military horses.

Some people have already inquired about the news from the mouths of Long Shengxing's folks.Not counting all kinds of excessive taxation and donations, but normal trade, it is easy for Uncle Ning Yuan to support the army and officials.

(Official Zheng Datian didn't know. The black fox fur cloak he was wearing was obtained from the temple street branch of Longsheng in exchange for a large iron pot. This is not true, it can be exchanged for an iron pot Leather goods for sewing two robes!)

On the side, Zhang Ruoqi, the Lang Zhong of the Ministry of War, was a little depressed. He was a powerful figure in the Ministry of War, and he was highly valued by the Minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Xinjia. Test everything.A lot of power.

But he is also a member of the North Korean and Chinese official group.He was also extremely dissatisfied with Chen Xinjia's flattery towards Uncle Ning Yuan.Since Uncle Ning Yuan is an official of Ming Dynasty, all his land, soldiers, horses, money and food should belong to Ming Dynasty.Dispatched by the imperial court.

(Oh, it seems that Mr. Zhang has forgotten that there is a rule in Ming Dynasty that people with meritorious service do not have to pay money and food to undertake corvee and other obligations. What reason should you use to seek Li Shouhan's property and soldiers? In theory, Those lands were also his own, not the Ming court's.)

Zhang Ruoqi got up and walked to the window, and pushed the carved wooden window open to let the cool air from outside blow in.

The fresh air rolled towards his face with snowflakes, which lifted his spirits and swept away the dull air in the study.In the darkness, there were figures flickering in the courtyard from time to time. It was the servants and maids in Zheng's mansion who were busy cleaning the snow in the courtyard. In fact, they didn't know that in the eyes of these literati, the snow was the auspiciousness of the royal family. The location is the scenery that can make people feel poetic.As for whether it will freeze the river, immobilize the boats, cause the price of food in the capital to soar, and how many people will die of freezing and starvation, sorry, these things are in charge of the company, not my business.But if they are allowed to see it with their discerning eyes, it is inevitable that there will be eternal masterpieces flowing out of their pens, scolding the court and officials for their inaction.

"Brother Yong Zhang, since Li relies on his soldiers, horses, money and food to run amok. The emperor is deceived by this beast with money and food for his military exploits. If we use our weaknesses to attack the other's strengths, it will be difficult for us. Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, who came to Beijing to report on his duties, just happened to meet him, stroking his three long beards, and using Jiangxi Jishui official dialect with ups and downs to make a fool of himself with all the adults present.

"Brother Meng An, what is your opinion?"

"That's right! I'm willing to listen to Da Sima's orders, and I will follow Da Sima's lead in everything!"

Li Banghua, who had a square face and broad forehead, had a righteous face, and his originally slightly red face became redder because of excitement and excitement, and even the spot on the right cheek became more and more clear.

"Although we don't have a hundred thousand wild animals in our hands as minions, and we don't have a hundred thousand green cockles in our waists to use them. However, we have the awe-inspiring righteousness cultivated by heaven and earth in our chests, and we have a great pen bestowed by sages in our hands."

The meaning of Li Banghua's words, translated into human language that we can understand and understand, is, "We don't have the hard handle of Li Shouhan in our hands, and the money bags in our waists are not so big, and the backstage bosses in Jiangnan may not be willing to give up their money." This money is used to destroy Li Shouhan. But we have our advantages and traditional style of play, which is to use the pens in our hands to write articles to create public opinion and discredit Li Shouhan!"

Li Banghua's method belongs to the toad on the feet, and does not bite people who are disgusting.

I have no soldiers or money in my hands, but I can use the pen in my hand and the tools of public opinion I have to attack you.Spread rumors about you, smear your face, and pour dirty water on you.

"Da Sima's method is very brilliant!"

Lin Kewen, a member of the etiquette department, was quite excited.

"The lower officials have accompanied the imperial envoys to and from Nanzhong, Guangzhou and other places many times. During the period, they were quite touched. Although Ning Yuanbo's rule is quite small, it is contrary to the way of the saints. It is not like what those shameless literati said. The so-called people have the joy of drumming and singing!"

"...Looking at the customs when entering the city, the people are simple, with elegant vocals and clean clothes. Everyone respects the government and obeys it. It is quite ancient folk customs. When entering the government of the city, the officials are strict and solemn. Bad habits. Just like good officials in ancient times. Officials are loyal to their duties. Go out of the private door to the public door, and go out of the public door to the private door. Don't do other things because of private affairs. Don't form cliques, don't cliques, and behave well. It can be said that it is the style of scholars in ancient times. Observing the court of Qin State, its court proceedings are orderly, and there is no delay in hearing decisions, and the operation is as smooth as a rule without rule. It is really an ancient court..."

Lin Kewen said: "This is the state of Qin, which Xunzi praised so much in his writings. How similar is it to today's Xuanfu Town? However, Qin II died because of excessive punishment, and the steel did not last long! The great man learned his lesson. , Easing the people to help the people, and moreover deposing a hundred schools of thought that only respect Confucianism, it will take 400 years to rule the world. However, Ning Yuanbo blindly imitated the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, did not cultivate benevolence and righteousness, and only asked for money, food and wealth, which is poor!"

With a heartbroken expression, "If there is a good one, it will be worse! The morals of the people have been corrupted. Everything you see is copper stink, and what you hear is all business. Someone brought a piece of paper from somewhere. A batch of overseas goods has been issued again. Someone, after getting the approval, can build a sea-going ship. As long as you can invest 1000 silver dollars, the cost of the sea-going ship will be recovered in one year after the successful construction of the sea-going ship. After that, just make money. People bought hundreds of slaves and went to ten states to cultivate them. In just a few years, they already had a large farm with a radius of several tens of miles. I'm so envious! Or, some people went to Fusang and brought back countless gold and silver by boat, etc. !"

"There is nothing wrong with seeking profit from capital." Zheng Sanjun knew well that the trade activities with Nanzhong were also an important source of wealth for Jiangnan's wealth owners, and he must not delve into this matter. "However, under Uncle Ningyuan's shogunate, they didn't know how to respect scholars. This is a big deal! There are laws in the country, and scholars don't pay taxes and don't undertake corvees. However, under Uncle Ningyuan's rule, no scholars have ever done this. Waiting for treatment!"

"In the barren lands of southern China, it can be regarded as a temporary expedient measure to implement the combination of officials and gentry to pay food and errands. Since the 11th year of Chongzhen, Guangdong and Guangxi have also followed this way. Fujian has also implemented this way in the 13th year of Chongzhen. Where is the national law? Where is the sage's orthodoxy? If things go on like this, my Ming Dynasty will definitely lose the country!"

Seeing someone start, more than a dozen people in the study criticized various social phenomena under Shou Han's rule.

"Warfu governs the country without knowing the teachings of saints, and does not know how to defend men and women!"

This person also remembered the scene he saw when he went to Nanzhong that day.

When the factory got off work at noon, hundreds of workers suddenly poured out on the already lively street, chatting freely in groups, and the strong smell of sweat on their bodies made this adult almost vomit out.

In addition, there are countless women, not only the Han women in the mainland, but also many barbarian women with short hair and tattoos. Dazzling.Seeing someone staring intently, among the women in the group were shouting and scolding, or glaring, obviously they looked down on this silverfish from outside.

When he learned that most of these women were female workers in various textile factories and garment factories, he immediately had a first impression of these workers: these people, regardless of gender, are uneducated and wicked. , and the good and the bad are intermingled, the source of the scourge!

"Women and Daoists, how decent is it to show your face in public?"

When he talked about these women, many of them earned more money than the men in the family, it aroused the unanimous criticism of everyone present: "This is really out of order, the rooster wakes up in the morning!"

When I heard that there are thousands of female workers in these textile factories, the houses in the factories are extremely hot and stuffy, and the women's clothes are soaked in sweat, showing their bodies.And there are many male workers engaged in transportation, mechanical maintenance and other matters. Because the factory implements a three-shift work system, when some happy things happen and become the talk of ignorant people after dinner, it makes a group of moralists feel sad.

"What's more, I don't know the way of being gentle and distant. I'm superstitious about force. There are laws and regulations in the country. For the natives everywhere, those who come will not be rejected, and those who go will not be chased. Anyone who comes will be rewarded with money, wine and food, but rather far away Under the rule of Bo, the people used in mines, forests, iron smelting and other places are all local people. It is said that they are all people who have been captured by foreign expeditions over the years, and they are called official slaves."

"This generation confides to the students with tears in their eyes. Originally, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Living among the green mountains and green waters for generations, it is quite the joy of being king in the south! The Cantonese exiles arrived, and then they used the Art of War to strangle this generation, so that the villagers and the natives went to war. Then the soldiers came to capture this generation of natives as slaves. If the so-called fixed quota is not completed every day, at least the food will be reduced. Severe cases of corporal punishment with whipping."

Everyone chattered about their own understanding of the various situations under Li Shouhan's rule, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction with this Uncle Ning Yuan for not acting according to the way of a saint. (to be continued..)
