Chapter 541: Two Provinces Cut Domains
Yu Piaoling snuggled meekly beside him, beating his legs for him like a qualified slave, and asked: "There are too many ethereal things, and the slave knows a limited amount, I don't know what specific things the master wants to know?"
Chang Wei rolled a cigarette and said: "Your ethereal ancestor is the concubine of Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, Zheng He cleaned up the misery, you got up from the teaching department, and in the next two hundred years, you showed great loyalty and finally got recognized by the imperial court." www.biquge.info I want to know what your goal is now? Has the goal of overthrowing the Chengzu family changed?"
Yu Piaoling replied miserably: "Miao Miao has long lost this idea, I just want to contribute to the court, seek benefits for myself, let the children of the sect live in peace, practice martial arts, and watch the movements of the rivers and lakes and ministers for the court." ”
Chang Wei let out a long sigh, "Looking at the rivers and lakes and the courtiers? Miao Miao is indeed a royal sword, who holds this sword in his hand!"
The imperial court has Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which are now in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and this year the emperor handed over the Beizhen Fusi to Chang Wei.
Yu Piaoling said: "After the death of Wuzong, Yang Ting, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Dingxing offered Zhu Houxi, the son of the king, as the emperor, and the year name was Jiajing. After the fourteen-year-old Emperor Jiajing came to power, he clarified the maladministration of the previous dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had a prosperous atmosphere, but the dispute over the great etiquette put the emperor and the hundred officials on opposite sides. He deposed Yang Tinghe, Yang Shen of the court, and monopolized the government after three years of struggle. ”
After Lu Bing and Shen Lian were killed, Emperor Jiajing no longer trusted Jinyiwei, and since then, he hid in Xiyuan Yuxi Palace Xuanxiu, and has not been in the court for 20 years, but he can play with the courtiers in the palm of his hand. ”
Since then, Miao Miao has changed his mind, first, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, it must be the descendants of the Yongle Emperor as the emperor, and other branches will never be able to come to power; ”
"On the surface, it was Patriarch Xiao Yuxi who killed Long Chengfei on the order of Zhu Zhi, but in fact this was the emperor's secret edict, and Emperor Jiajing did not want an uncontrolled person like Long Chengfei to live. ”
Chang Wei sighed secretly: It turned out to be Jiajing's will? The water in the imperial court is really too deep.
Yu Piaoling replied faintly: "Today, the emperor is the only favor of the Ke clan, and he appoints Wei Zhongxian, Miao Miao has long lost the authority of the court, the people in the palace kill and kill, degrade, and the people outside the palace go and retreat." Speaking of which, adults may not believe it, but Ethereal can still master it now is only the Department of Teaching, and the slave took refuge in the adult because of last year's unintentional move, and secondly, he also wanted to rely on the adult to regain his strength. ”
"Does Miao really want to rely on me to get on the throne?" Chang Wei remembered what Wang Xiuyan said about the teaching workshop Si Luan Jian, "That Luan Jian is your person, right?"
"Yes!" Yu Piaoling confessed.
Chang Wei said: "I don't know something, since the court has pardoned Ethereal, with your martial arts talents, practice martial arts and seek the Tao well, why do you have to get involved in the battle of the court." ”
Yu Piaoling sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are not willing to let go of Miao, and there are people on both sides who instruct Miaomiao to do things." Moreover, the ethereal interior is also divided into several factions like the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, and many people are thinking about the glory of the past. ”
Although this is said in a general way, it may not be all false, Chang Wei groaned and said: "On the night of the martial arts conference, you and Su Qingcheng, Chu Qing, and Liang Kecheng came to me, and then, I was assassinated by Zhao Minglin, what happened?"
Yu Piaoling swore to the sky, "It has absolutely nothing to do with Ethereal, because of the matter of Kou Baimen, the slave only wants to get close to the adult under the pretext of making amends, and will never dare and will not design to assassinate the adult." ”
Chang Wei asked again: "Who is Su Chengcheng?"
Yu Piaoling replied: "She has a very close relationship with Senior Sister Qianbo, and she is not a slave all the way. ”
Chang Wei frowned and said, "Ethereal Smoke and Rain Building, where is that building?"
Yu Piaoling said softly: "The slave grew up on a small island in the east mountain of Taihu Lake, and there are only twenty or thirty sisters on the island, and I have never seen that building. ”
Chang Wei laughed angrily, got up and said, "Miss Yu, since the words are clear, you can go, from now on, we don't owe each other!"
Yu Piaoling opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but saw that he had already stood at the door, made a gesture of sending off guests, lowered his eyelids, and after a change in the expression on his face, he regained his appearance when he came, and walked out of the door miserably.
Chang Wei looked at her back and asked softly, "Your name is also fake." ”
Yu Piaoling paused and replied: "The slave's nickname is Xiao Yu." ”
Chang Wei nodded and didn't speak, watching her walk to the door, but Wei Xijie walked in head-on, glared at Yu Piaoling, and said, "I just said that your house is full of ugly girls, why did you suddenly change to such a beautiful one today?"
Chang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mess with me, I'm already angry!"
Wei Xijie hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "What's the matter?"
When she entered the house, Chang Wei clapped his hands and said: "You said that you wanted to persuade your uncle, but the governor of Zhejiang and the political envoy under him directly rejected my proposal to cut the feudal domain. ”
Wei Xijie's face changed greatly, "It's none of my business, at that time, my uncle clearly promised me not to embarrass you, who knows what he thinks." ”
Seeing that Chang Wei was holding a book and no longer spoke, Wei Xijie wrapped himself up like a snake, "My lord, let the slave and maid serve you well, and put out the fire!"
"How can you have this interest!" Chang Wei pushed her away and said hatefully: "You should know, right? The emperor was unhappy, so he promised me the tenth princess, and he didn't allow me to mess with flowers and grass, otherwise he would castrate me." In the future, don't come, you will anger the emperor, and everyone will not end well. ”
These words were yin and yang, and it was clear that the eunuch party had rejected the bill and sprinkled it on Wei Xijie, which made her embarrassed and pestered for a while, but Chang Wei never had a good face.
Wei Xijie had to drop a sentence hatefully, "I'll go to my uncle to reason now!" twisted the water snake's waist and went out.
Within the next 20 days, the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, the governors, the three divisions, the military preparation road, the grain road, the local gentry, and the scholars all wrote to demand the reduction of the feudal domain.
In addition, at the instigation of Huang Zongxi and others, Guozijian, Hanlin Yuan, and the remnants of Donglin who had been released by Chang Wei protested in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department for five days, and finally the Criminal Department could not resist the pressure and detained Xu Xianchun to the case.
Xu Xianchun was tortured by life and death charms, and he replied indiscriminately during the trial, which caused Huang Zongxi's indignation, and when he appeared in court to testify, he stabbed Xu Xianchun in the cone in his sleeve, so that Xu Xianchun begged for mercy loudly and confessed all the charges.
However, Huang Zongxi was also beaten with 30 boards for disturbing the court, dismissed from prison, and repatriated to his hometown.
Wei Zhongxian, who had been reprimanded by the emperor, also ordered his officials to quickly change their words, although there were still thirty percent of local officials who did not approve, but the resolution of Shaanxi and Shanxi to cut the feudal domain had been completed.
On the first day of the fourth month, the emperor gave the royal flag and the sword of Shang Fang, and ordered Chang Wei to control the soldiers and horses of the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, implement the policy of cutting the feudal domain, and punish the unjust officials along the way.
Although the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty cannot be eradicated, it is good to remove a little abscess first!" )
