With the army surrounding the clans, Wang Fuzhi, Chen Bangyan and even Su Guansheng and Zhang Huangyan of the Tang and Lu factions also hurried over.

"What are you doing here?"

It was not the Chu Party who spoke first, but Su Guansheng, who came first, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was furious, and rushed forward and said angrily to the clans: "This is an important place for the imperial court, as a clan, do you want to rebel?" Don't go back yet. ”

The reform of the Zongfan was a suggestion made by Wang Yan to Emperor Gaozong, which was presided over by Su Guansheng, although he did not belong to the same camp as Wang Yan, but the people in the Zongfan who wanted to kill him were no less than those who wanted to kill Wang Yan.

In dealing with the Zong Domain, he and Wang Yan are the same, and what Wang Yan does is for the entire Ming Dynasty, this is for the public, and there is no problem with other things to make a little stumbling, but dealing with the Zong Domain, which has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, is the consensus of the entire civil official group, and he must support it.

The imperial court is about to raise the salaries of officials, where will the money come from?

Only by taking away the clan's cake and exchanging the clan's land for development in Taiwan, so that the imperial court can have tens of thousands of hectares of high-quality paddy fields that can be taxed immediately, and then reduce the supply of the clan and collect taxes from the clan, so that there is money to increase the salaries of civil and military officials.

If the emperor could speak, the clan might still be able to keep the rights and interests in their hands, but now the regent of the king of Chu and the council hall have actually replaced the imperial power, and the entire bureaucracy wants to seize benefits from the clan, so the king of Lu and the king of Tang are very wise, and neither of them came out to support the clan.

Thousands of clans were seated, and many people listened, looked at the elite soldiers who surrounded them, and lowered their heads, but King Xiang didn't give Su Guansheng a good face, "Su Butang don't spew blood, our clan is just to show mercy to the queen mother and the emperor, and some people ignore the laws of the ancestors, want to rob the clan assets and bully the royal people." ”

At the beginning, the Guangjing court was poor and couldn't open the pot, eager to get rid of the big burden of the clan, Su Guansheng not only reduced their fortune, but also reduced their title, they are not like the Tang and Lu kings who still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they can seek the benefit of their descendants and mix an iron king, after a few generations, their descendants will definitely decline, and they will not be able to become a weaver like Liu Bei, and they hate Su Guansheng more deeply than Wang Yan.

"So many people are used for affection?" Su Guansheng was furious, "You are persecuting the imperial court!" ”

Seeing that Su Guansheng was excited, Wang Fuzhi hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand to Su Guansheng, "Su Butang, let me tell you!" ”

Even if it is thousands of ordinary people, the conflict and the death of people, it is a big case, not to mention that there are still thousands of clans, in case of the death of a prince and a county king, it will give others an excuse to attack the Chu party, even if Wang Yan is fine, the Chu party will definitely have important members at the ministry level to step down and take the blame, which will affect the strength of the Chu party in the court.

Wang Fuzhi always maintained the strings of political struggle, he didn't know whether Su Guansheng was sincere, or wanted to make the situation more antagonistic, so he stepped forward and controlled the situation himself.

King Yi, who was seated, said at this time, "Unless the decree on moving Taiwan is canceled today, it is useless for any of you to say it, we will sit here and go on a hunger strike, and we must ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to be the masters of the clan." ”

After he finished speaking, the clans raised their fists and echoed one after another, Wang Fuzhi didn't need to say anything, knowing that this group of people couldn't make sense, so he had to pull Su Guansheng aside first.

Still going on a hunger strike? Wang Fu's heart shook, and he said to Chen Bangyan: "Chen Gebu, you are watching here, don't have any conflict, I will go and inform the King of Chu immediately." ”

Chen Bangyan is also in charge of the military department, which is the most suitable to control the situation, he nodded and took a step forward, "Go quickly to the Wang Pavilion Department, leave it to me here." ”

Wang Yan had already left the Chu Palace, and came to a restaurant on Taiping Street outside the Xihua Gate where the clan gathered.

The window near the street was propped open by wooden sticks, and Wang Yan and a few people stood by the window, watching the place where the clans gathered in the distance to meditate.

"Your Highness, the clan relied on its identity to conclude that the court did not dare to use force, so it was really hateful to gather people to make trouble, wanting to arouse the indignation of the government and the opposition and force the court to retreat!"

Thousands of clans, sit-in persecution, will have a very adverse impact on the imperial court, so that uninformed people mistakenly think that Wang Yan is unfair to the clan, misunderstand that he wants to take action against the Zhu family, and think that he is going to rebel, thus bringing him a very unfavorable political influence.

Wang Yan underestimated this group of clans a little, but they thought that they could coerce the court and coerce him in this way, which would be too naïve.

"There are some things, over time, that they take it for granted, that it is reasonable for them to be above the world. Lonely to implement reforms, save the world, but also save them, but they do not appreciate it, but face the court, do not know that the fall of the dynasties is because of the accumulation of contradictions, and the Ming Dynasty has been riddled with holes, they still refuse to give up part of their interests, to alleviate the contradictions, it is really self-defeating. ”

Changshi Fang Fengnian listened to Wang Yan's words and sighed, "What His Highness said is incisive, the clan has enjoyed the world's support for more than 200 years, and has long felt that everything is taken for granted. ”

Wang Yan turned around and said to the people behind him: "This matter has given Gu a wake-up call, and we should also pay attention to it, if one day the princes in the court also become like this, then the Ming Dynasty should be over." ”

At the beginning, the princes of Donglin were like this, so the Chongzhen Dynasty was finished, and Wang Yan was giving them vaccinations.

Ordinary people didn't dare to say this, but when everyone heard this, they were panicked for a while, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't dare to wait, I will take the world as my responsibility." "\u000b To be an official for the sake of being an official, exquisite self-interest, that is a bureaucracy, do not solve practical problems, officials should still have political complexion, political ideals, for a place and a county guard, should think about the region, stabilize the people, prosper business, so that the people under the rule, live and work in peace and contentment, and be above the court, should be concerned about the world, so that the country is strong and powerful.

Wang Yan waved his hand, so that everyone was exempted from etiquette, and then said in a deep voice: "The clan did this because it wanted to set off public opinion and let the world misunderstand that Lone had the heart of usurpation, so he made a move against the clan, but Lone couldn't let them get their way, Lone had to compare with them, the people and scholars, believe in them, or believe in Lone and the court." ”

Wang Yan paused, and then looked at Xia Wanchun, "Xia Futai, you let people build a few stages on Taiping Street, find a few teams, sing all the ugly things of the clan, and then let the officials and soldiers maintain order, and don't stop the people from watching." ”

The king of Chu asked the elite to surround the clan, and then organized the people to come to watch, and let the troupe guide and explain, control public opinion on the side of the court, and make the clan ugly.

Xia Wanchun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly understood what Wang Yan meant, he came out and saluted: "Xiaguan will arrange it, but I don't know what drama to sing, do you want Xiaguan to make up a play." ”

Wang Yan knew that Xia Wanchun's talent and learning were easy to make up a play, but he smiled and shook his head, "The reality is more absurd than the drama, Lone has already asked people to get the case file from the Criminal Department and the Zongren Mansion, and now the scribes of the palace have already written it in the palace with Liu everyone." ”

Making up dramas and scolding people, publishing books to hurt people, this is already a very common thing in the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party was the best at using this hand, making Ma Ruan's reputation very stinky, but they are mostly groundless, and there are many slanders, but Wang Yan is based on the real case files of the previous clan oppressing the people, embezzling people's assets, and robbing people's daughters, which is reasonable and legal, and can also resonate more with the people.

On the same Taiping Street, King Lu and King Tang got the news, and they also found a place and looked outside the Xihua Gate.
