Chapter 172: Aren't You Suning Wei Liangchen?
Staying in China is the attitude adopted by the current emperor towards the unification of the music he does not want to see, and he does not discuss or approve.
But obviously, Li Sancai's performance has his own way to make the world know.
In addition, the recent outbreak of the incident of the mine tax supervisor being beaten to death by the merchants and the people, many ministers in the foreign court have risen up to respond to Li Sancai's dismissal and demand that the emperor remove the mine tax supervisor.
"Since the mining tax is prosperous, the people are unemployed, and the looting instructions are as dense as a cow's hair, today a certain mine gets a certain amount of silver, and tomorrow a certain official adds a certain amount of silver, and the upper and lower levels compete for profit. Today's minister's chapter, whenever the mining tax is mentioned, His Majesty will not read or listen, this is a major matter related to the survival of the society, once the people betray their relatives and leave, the people will become enemies, even if Your Majesty has a house full of gold and pearls, who will defend for Your Majesty? ”
Yang Lian was worried, and then raised his eyebrows and said: "What I admire most about Huai Fu is that he said that the lord of the people and the monarch is also this sentence. Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, also has the responsibility to accept the words of your subordinates, how can we turn a deaf ear and allow the situation to deteriorate, and allow the mine overseer to cause harm to the people, causing the gentry to complain about the court. ”
"Huaifu has been pushed by the court, and the public is still in the household. If you enter Beijing, you will push the cabinet ministers again, and there will be Huaifu. At that time, the Fuqing minister will have the help of the minister, and we will also raise our arms and call out the leader, and the traitorous party in the DPRK and China will be like a dog, disintegrate and collapse. Zhou Chaorui, the superintendent of the imperial history, laughed, took Yang Lian's hand and said: "It is the right time for Dahong to enter Beijing at this time, to expel the traitorous party and persuade His Majesty, it is the time for you to contribute." ”
"Dare to disobey?"
Yang Lian smiled knowingly, about Huaifu as the secretary of the household department and the matter of the court pushing into the cabinet, there has long been a secret discussion within the party, and now it has entered the substantive procedure. At this juncture, it was the time for him to show his skills when he entered Beijing to give up his duties.
"Da Hong's words have always been sharp, and we will wait and see if you are the first to move the world." Hui Shiyang also felt excited.
Zuo Guangdou said hatefully: "This matter, if you want to blame, blame the four Ming Xianggong, if it weren't for him, the mine tax inspector would have stopped a long time ago, and there is chaos everywhere today." ”
Siming Xianggong is the first assistant Shen of Zhishi, this person is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and he does not deal with the Donglin Party. The previous time, it was also the Donglin Party that spent a lot of effort to finally drive him out of the court on the occasion of Yisi Jingcha and the case of the demon book and the pseudo-king of Chu.
However, when Shen was always the first assistant, there was a golden opportunity to remove the mine supervisor and tax envoy. It was seven years ago, that is, in the thirtieth year of Wanli, one day Shen Cheng was suddenly summoned by the emperor and asked him to enter the palace immediately. At that time, the eunuch who passed the message was panicked, and Shen always thought that something had happened to the emperor, so he hurriedly walked to the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.
After arriving at the Xinuan Pavilion in the apse, as soon as he entered the room, Shen Cheng suddenly felt a low and depressing atmosphere. According to his own notes after the incident, he saw the emperor sitting on the ground in his usual dress, looking sick. The Empress Dowager Li stood behind the emperor with a sad face, and the crown prince Zhu Changluo and several princes knelt in front of the emperor with tears.
This scene made Shen always intuitively feel that something was wrong, and he knelt behind the prince and the others. In the thirteenth year of the auxiliary government, this was the first time that Shen had close contact with the emperor. He had only seen the emperor once before, when the emperor attended the ceremony of sacrificing Japanese prisoners at the noon gate, and he stood below and did not see the emperor very clearly.
Wanli spoke, his eyes stared at Shen Yi, and he said weakly: "I am critically ill, the prince will be handed over to Mr., and Mr. will assist him to be a virtuous monarch." In the twenty years since I ascended to the pole, there was no major fault, but the matter of mine taxes, because the palace was not completed and the expedient measures taken by me were not completed, and the temporary measures taken by me due to the lack of silver were all stopped, and all the internal supervisors sent by me were ordered to return to Beijing. After saying that, the emperor let him go back to bed and lie down.
Seeing this situation, Shen really thought that the emperor was seriously ill and couldn't cry loudly, and the queen mother, the crown prince and other kings also couldn't cry.
That night, the cabinet scholars and the six ministers and nine secretaries all slept in the court room indiscriminately to prevent accidents. Shen has even been ready for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
On the day of the third watch, an envoy came to the cabinet with the oracle in his hand and handed it over to Shen Yi, the content of which was roughly the same as what the emperor said to Shen during the day. This made the ministers of the foreign courts, who had always opposed the mine supervision and tax envoys, breathe a sigh of relief while worrying about the emperor's illness.
However, the next day, the emperor's condition actually improved. After recovering from his illness, the emperor immediately sent an envoy to the cabinet to ask Shen for last night's holy message, and at the same time conveyed the message to Shen: "The mining tax must not be stopped!" ”
Shen was stunned at first, and then he was quite embarrassed, he said to the envoy: "Last night, Your Majesty personally said to the ministers, 'strike the mine tax', everyone knows about the civil and military officials, and now I am afraid that the north and south of the river will be spread all over the country, how can we get it back?" Besides, you have no jokes, how can you tell the old minister to face the world? ”
Shen has always been hesitant, but he didn't expect that after hearing the reply, the emperor actually sent more than 20 lieutenant envoys to the cabinet in an endless stream to urge him for last night's holy message. Shen has always been embarrassed, and finally handed over the holy oracle.
In the palace, the eunuch Tian Yi was also arguing with the emperor for the matter of the "holy oracle". He bitterly persuaded the emperor, saying that since the Holy Lord had allowed the suspension of the mining tax, he should not regret it again! You have no jokes, how can you go back on your word and make the world laugh, and what face will you have in the future?
Wanli listened to it, felt that Tian Yi's words had hurt his self-esteem, and was so angry that he circled around the imperial case several times, and when he looked up, he found the sword hanging on the wall, grabbed a step, pulled out the sword and stabbed Tian Yi directly. Tian Yi did not flinch, but at this moment, a lieutenant envoy came back to the palace with the holy oracle.
Tian Yi was extremely angry, rushed out of the palace with three feet and two steps, and went straight to the cabinet office in the east of the noon gate, and when he saw Shen Yiyi, he spat on the ground fiercely, and angrily reprimanded Shen Dao: "What a husband, cowardly as a mouse!" The mining tax has been harassing for a long time, don't you know? Today, I finally have a chance, the emperor's decree is withdrawn, and if the minister insists a little, the mining tax malpractice can be terminated! ”
Because of this matter, Shen has always been attacked by foreign courts, and was finally impeached by Kedao when he was in Yisi Jingcha, and resigned in one go.
The officials are quite young, and they are all indignant about what happened back then. They will not look at this matter from the perspective of Shen Zheng, but they feel that Shen has always been flattering to the monarch and has no ministerial principles, which has led to the increasingly corrupt government and caused the mine supervision and taxation to spread all over the world and cause turmoil.
"Da Hong has always acted boldly, but today he still doesn't mention major events, and let's take the wind and wash the dust for you, how about a few drinks from him?"
"That's what I mean!" Yang Lian laughed.
Hui Shiyang pulled Yang Lian, and everyone went to the carriage with him. Yang Lian couldn't help but wonder when he saw that there was a person in the crowd who greeted him, and he was not a person in the science and road, so he asked Hui Shiyang: "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, Dahong, come, I'll introduce you." Hui Shiyang pulled the man over and said to Yang Lian with a smile: "This name is Wang Wenyan, and he is the private minister of Wang An of the East Palace. When the prince heard that you had entered Beijing, he specially asked him to pick you up. ”
Hearing this, Yang Lian hurriedly said to Wang Wenyan: "Please tell the prince for me, Dahong thanks him!" ”
Yang Lian can't help but be thankful, he can be promoted as the first honest official by the Ministry of Officials, thanks to the recommendation of Yang Shiqiao, who is also a member of the Donglin Party, and also thanks to Wang An's appreciation of him. Otherwise, if the outer court only reports it up, and the inner court does not approve it, how can he Yang Lian be famous all over the world.
Wang Wenyan hurriedly smiled and said a few words, he came to greet Yang Lian on behalf of Wang An this time, it was just a symbolic meaning, and there was no need to say anything.
All the people present were Donglin Party members, and there was no need to hide anything. In the inner court, in addition to the palm seal eunuch Chen Ju and the Donglin Party, the most willing to contact the Donglin Party is the eunuch who is the eunuch of the ceremonial court, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and the prince's personal attendant Wang An's father-in-law.
And the prince and the Donglin Party got closer because of the prince. These are self-explanatory. After so many years of fighting for the country, the Donglin Party has always firmly supported the prince, otherwise, there would be no today's master.
After the public science and Taoist officials got into the carriage, they set off in the direction of the capital, and Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui and others sat in the first car.
After the carriage moved slowly, Zuo Guangdou suddenly stopped the coachman, and then shouted to a young man leaning on the carriage on the side of the road: "Aren't you Suning Wei Liangchen?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Chaorui and the others were surprised: Which Suning Wei Liangchen?
Instead, he came with Zuo Guangdou, and Yu Shi He Erjian, who was currently sitting in the second car, heard this shout, lifted the curtain and looked out.
