As soon as Chen Dadao, the secretary of the household department of the court, and the six people from the left and right servants, Lang Zhong, Yuanwailang, and Huke gave the matter, they all went out to work and said: "Your Majesty, there are countless displaced people in Henan and Shaanxi, and the situation is extremely grim, and there is a huge gap in military supplies, salaries, and salaries! Yesterday, the countless silver money sent into the palace by Chang Wei, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, should be divided into half to the household department for disaster relief and pay!"

The emperor said: "Chang Wei has just returned from Henan, and he has seen the homeless people with his own eyes, so Chang Aiqing will tell him the details. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Chang Wei came out and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, there was a great drought in Henan last winter, and there has been no rain since the beginning of spring. The sturdy steal chickens and dogs to kill people for money, the poor and weak sell their sons and daughters, and even change their children to eat, and the situation is really miserable. ”

"Luoyang is still a rich area, and then to Nanyang, the form is even worse. The minister thought that if he did not remedy the situation, the incident of the White Lotus Sect would be staged again last year, so he sent the palace to store 2 million stone of grain for disaster relief, and then copied out all the 8 million stone grain and handed it over to the Henan Buzheng government, and the minister strictly ordered the three divisions of Henan not to be greedy for a pound of grain, otherwise the torture of the edict and prison would not be spared! Therefore, the minister thought that the disaster of the displaced people in Henan could be avoided!

As soon as his voice fell, Yuan Keli, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, immediately went out and said: "Although Lord Chang sternly admonished him as a messenger, the minister thought that he should send the imperial history to Henan and Shaanxi to take charge of disaster relief matters. In addition, although the rebellion of the two kings is due to the poor supervision of the subordinate officials of the royal government, the three divisions of Henan and the two mansions of Luoyang and Nanyang cannot escape the blame!"

Chang Wei immediately took out a few letters from his briefcase and said: "The minister seconded the proposal! The minister impeached Henan Buzheng, the criminal punishment, the capital division, the Luoyang Mansion Yin, and the Nanyang Mansion Yin, these three divisions and two mansions slacked government affairs, let the exiles go, and let the vassal king become bigger." Especially in Henan Dusi, Luoyang Zhongwei is only 2,000 old and weak, unusable, if the people change, Luoyang Wei will immediately collapse, and a provincial government will not be owned by the country in an instant!"

The little eunuch immediately stepped forward to take the bullet seal, and the emperor took a closer look at it and sent it to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Officials.

Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, glared at Chang Wei fiercely, blaming him for being troublesome, it was originally true, more than half of the soldiers in the world fled This is a well-known thing, but Chang Wei took Henan Dusi out alone to say something, which is a bit unkind, but who made Henan Dusi unlucky to catch up with Tang Wang to rebel?

Chang Wei was still not satisfied, and then went up to thoroughly investigate the world's capital guards, recruit strong warriors, eliminate the old and weak, and put an end to empty salaries.

At this time, Cui Chengxiu quit, and refuted it repeatedly: "Although the combat effectiveness of the guards is low, it is the cornerstone of deterrence of the locality, once the guards are thoroughly investigated, the prestige of the capital is gone, if the people take advantage of the situation, the world will be in chaos, can you bear this responsibility at that time?"

The world is already restless, you Cui Chengxiu buttoned down such a big hat, how could Lao Tzu catch it?

When Chang Wei was running out of words, the hundred officials sighed that when he was too young, one person went out of work proudly, and his voice was like a bell: "Lord Chang said that the disadvantages of the world's guards are really golden and jade, and the ministers are willing to ask Ying to thoroughly investigate the world's guards! As long as Chang Daren sends Beizhen Tiqi to help, the ministers will definitely clarify the guards, if there is any loss, please ask the emperor to behead the ministers and the thirty mouths of the family to pass on the first world!"

The Emperor's Palace, which is shaken by words, often makes a sound, and the officials who are shocked are silent!

Who is this person? Chang Wei looked up and saw that this person was wearing a third-grade official robe, with a nine-foot-long beard and a red face, and he was upright and majestic. Seeing Chang Wei looking at him, this person said in a low voice: "The minister of the left servant of the king of the army and the army!"

Chang Wei suddenly realized, no wonder there is such arrogance, it is not strange that he is the king's minister!

Wang Zhichen, Shaanxi Tongguan Weiren, successively served as the governor of Jiliao, Liaodong strategy, once and Yuan Chonghuan operated the Guanning Jin defense line, because of the Liaodong defense and the retention of the general Mangui and Yuan Chonghuan had a fierce dispute, the imperial court in order to ease the contradictions, Wang Zhichen was transferred back to the court.

This is a well-known cadre, a fierce man that Wei Zhongxian can't even start!

With Wang Zhichen coming forward, Cui Chengxiu wilted. The emperor immediately set a decision, let the cabinet discuss the feasibility of this matter first, and let Wang Zhichen come up with specific regulations, such a major event is not a heroic one, nor can it be done overnight, it must be repeatedly demonstrated, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

This matter has been decided, Chen Dadao of the Ministry of Household jumped out again, this time Xue Fengxiang of the Ministry of Industry also came to join in the fun, even if the emperor asked Wei Zhongxian to suppress the formation, he couldn't get the two brothers, and in the end, they each gave one million, and the two were still not satisfied, and the emperor slapped the table for a long time before letting the two retreat.

Next, the handling of the Tang King was simple, and he was exiled to Guizhou as a Shuren, and the more than 50,000 hectares of fertile land between King Fu and King Tang once again caused a fierce quarrel in the imperial court.

The eunuch faction advocated that King Fu's 40,000 hectares be turned into official land and that it should be owned by the imperial court, and the reason was very simple: as long as it became an official field, the eunuchs of Dongchang and the Jinyi Tiqi would be able to make a lot of money, and the eunuch party would be able to make a bowl full of money; the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment advocated that King Fu's 40,000 hectares be returned to the local area and distributed to the people, and that the 10,000 hectares of the Tang King be the official land.

Seeing that the two sides were arguing over this number, it was Wang Zhichen who stepped forward: "Why make a noise and divide it equally!"

Hey, Wang Zhichen is so active today? This is not like his style in the past. Since he failed in the battle with Yuan Chonghuan and was transferred back to the imperial court, Wang Zhichen Taoguang kept his head in obscurity, did not say a word in case of trouble, and only did his job in the military department. Today, he said twice about Chang Wei's affairs, did he want to rely on Chang Wei?

That's right, Chang Wei is now favored by the emperor, and he has handled two cases of rebellion against the vassal king cleanly, and its rise is unstoppable, but except for Xu Guangqi's three technical officials who have no power and no position, there is no helper, and now it is the right time to take refuge, and the officials who are active have begun to make up their minds.

Since Wang Zhichen has surrendered to the peach, Chang Wei of course wants to repay him, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wang Shilang's proposal is very good! Let's take half of the official land and half of the people's land, and don't quarrel with your colleagues anymore, the top priority is to spread the news of the distribution of good land, so as to stabilize the people's hearts, so that the displaced people will not become bigger and the place will be in danger!"

As soon as the topic of exile was involved, the Emperor immediately paid attention to it, "What does the cabinet say?"

This is Zhu Youxiao, most of the time he doesn't care about things, he is also very benevolent, and he will never be ambiguous once it comes to important military affairs.

Yuan Keli, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Liang Dingchen, a scholar of Dongge University, and Liang Dingchen, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, a scholar of the Prince's Taifu Rite Department, came to Zongdao, and they all went out of the class and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Liang Dingchen is Liang Kecheng's grandfather, this person is a rare doer among the Donglin Party, and he is trusted by the emperor, so Wei Zhongxian does not dare to touch him; Lai Zongdao is also a member of the Donglin Party, he is an honest official, and he knows the way of advance and retreat, and the emperor loves him very much.

In the early years of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party members made great contributions to the emperor's accession to the throne and held great power, in order to avenge the revenge of being excluded during the Wanli period, their party was the same as the other, and under the skillful hands of Wang Wenyan, the Qi, Chu, Xuan, Zhejiang and other party members were overthrown, and they were able to take charge of the imperial court.

However, the Donglin party did not have long to be proud, the emperor pushed Wei Zhongxian out, in order to balance the power of the imperial court, Wei Fat was very crazy, the means were very cruel, and the Donglin think tank Wang Wenyan was arrested in the edict prison through the Xiong Tingbi case, and the Donglin party people were defiled.

So, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and Wei Dazhong wrote to impeach Wei Zhongxian for the 24 major crimes, and the frightened Wei Fat Man cried bitterly in front of the emperor, and even wrote a letter to Yang Lian to ask for peace.

At this time, if Wei Zhongxian is done, several years of efforts to seize power will be in vain, and the emperor is naturally unwilling. So, an edict was issued to reprimand Yang Lian, and a few months later, Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to dismiss Yang Lian.

Soon after, Wei Zhongxian arrested the six gentlemen and imprisoned them on the grounds that 'the party was fighting against each other and accepting bribes'. Yang Lian is really a rare courtier in the ages, Zheng Zheng will never give in, and he continued to write to reprimand Wei Zhongxian for his crimes in prison, so he was tortured and killed by Xu Xianchun in the edict prison.

Without Yang Lian, Wei Dazhong, Zuo Guangdou and other fighters, Wei Zhongxian was even more unscrupulous, wantonly attacking and arresting Donglin Party members, and since then Donglin has declined, and even the Donglin Academy in Wuxi has been demolished.

Coming hard is not the way, and the Donglin Party chose to retreat. The Donglin Party represented by Liang Tingji and Lai Zongdao abandoned the style of fighting in case of trouble, and turned to do things honestly, unless the emperor personally intervened like today, they would never take the initiative to get involved in the political disputes of the court.

This approach was approved by the emperor, and Wei Zhongxian naturally did not embarrass them, so they were safe, but the radical Donglin party accused them of succumbing to Wei Gelding's authority, and they were very disdainful.

Feng Quan, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, the left attendant of the Shaobao Household Department, Gu Bingqian, a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, and Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Prince's Taibao Jianji Palace, saw that the emperor had the intention of resolving disputes, and glanced at Wei Zhongxian on the side of the throne, and then came out of the class and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

The emperor made a final decision: "In this case, the 50,000 hectares of fertile land of the two kings will be divided equally between the court and the locality." It is managed by the household department, the cabinet and the six ministries coordinate with each other, and the East Factory and Jinyi Wei supervise. ”

As soon as this major event was finished, Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class: "The minister impeached Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Chang Wei abused his power to occupy the real estate of Cheng'en Temple!"

Damn, these radicals in Donglin are really dead, you are looking for your own death!

At that moment, Chang Weilang said: "The minister impeached Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, for his lax supervision, and the left Jueyi Zong'an of Cheng'en Temple participated in the rebellion!"

The Sanglu Division is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and it happens to be pressed on Zhou Yanru's head. The courtiers immediately put on a lively expression, and the impeachment of the two was the most popular thing in the court.

Zhou Yanru came prepared, "Although Zong'an belongs to the Monk Lu Division of the Ministry of Rites, the royal temple is under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion, and Lord Chang has found the wrong person!"

Chang Wei said coldly: "How can this be unreasonable, how can Zong An's leader in the Ministry of Rites be pushed to the head of the Zongren Mansion? After the interrogation of the Beizhen Fu Division, the more than ten people who participated in the rebellion are all Zong An's cronies, and it is clear that your right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Zhou, is not supervising effectively!"

"Zong An has always presided over Cheng'en Temple, and my Ministry of Rites has no right to intervene in the royal temple, and it is rare for this official to see him a few times a year, how to supervise it?

"According to Lord Zhou's words, there are thousands of horsemen running around in Beizhen, and this official has never seen them. If they cause trouble, can the officials use this as an excuse to shirk the responsibility for ineffective supervision?

The two argued in court, attacked each other, and quarreled for a while, and the emperor said in annoyance: "Chang Wei, you first explain the reason for occupying the real estate of Cheng'en Temple!"

Grass, just thinking about a war of words, even forgot to say something.

Chang Wei said steadily: "That day, Chen Dadaoshangshu asked me: The Song Dynasty had such a prosperous commodity economy and such a huge tax revenue, but why did the country die? At that time, I did not think of a good answer, and today I tell you that it has been 1,800 years since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, but the income of the people in all dynasties has not increased dramatically. ”

"The so-called rule of Wenjing, the rule of Zhenguan, and the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, including the prosperity of Yongle and the rule of Renxuan, are all phenomena in which the population has decreased sharply after the change of dynasty, and the country has adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation, so that the population has recovered and the tax revenue has increased. ”

"Once there is a war and famine, the taxes, money, and even the armor accumulated over the decades will be consumed, and then catch up with the natural disasters for more than two consecutive years, and immediately the situation will be turbulent, and the people will not be able to make a living, and then it will be staged countless times for thousands of years, and it will rise up, change the dynasty, recuperate, regenerate, and the dynasty will collapse, and the cycle will not be an exception!"

In the final analysis, it will be found that all this is not the so-called emperor's immorality and abandonment by God, but the fixed or slowly growing land area, which cannot support the exponential increase in population. ”

"Take the population and the cultivated land area of the common people: at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the population exceeded 60 million, and the cultivated land area was 800 million mu; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it broke 70 million, and the cultivated land was 700 million mu; after the 400-year split of the Three Kingdoms, the Jin, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, it returned to 60 million again in the Sui Dynasty, and the population reached 90 million on the eve of the Anshi Rebellion, and the cultivated land in the Sui and Tang dynasties reached about 1.5 billion mu; in the Song, Liao, Jin, and Xixia eras, the total population was 120 million, and the cultivated land in the Song Dynasty was 200 million mu; by the Wanli period of the current dynasty, the population was stable at more than 150 million, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, it was 300 million mu, and now it is 730 million mu of private land。 ”

"What did you find out from this? But the population is getting bigger and bigger, and the arable land is getting less and less? However, the Song Dynasty, which has the least arable land, fed a population equivalent to that of the Han and Tang dynasties, and this is all due to technological progress. But it is worth noting that the Song still did not get rid of the fate of destroying the country. ”

"From the beginning of the founding of the country to the time when the population is the largest, the national strength is increasing, and once it reaches the highest point of the largest population and the most prosperous, it will immediately decline rapidly. Because, the land area is no longer enough to feed the rapidly growing population, and the income of the people is increasing little by little, the income of the people in the Qin Dynasty is about 15 taels, and now the richest family in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty has an annual income of 38 taels, which can be doubled in 1,800 years. ”

"Yes! It seems that it has increased, but the lives of the poor people have not changed, and they are still working hard facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and it is great to eat meat once or twice a year of hard work; it is still a vicious circle of natural disasters and rebellion. ”

"If we want to change this state of affairs, we must improve our technology, and when the year is good, 30 acres of cultivated land can feed a family of five, and we can live a tight life; no matter whether it rains or winds all year round, no matter what the year is, a factory on one acre of land can recruit 2 or 300 workers, and can feed a family of more than 1,000 people; an acre of land produces one stone of rice in half a year, which is worth half a tael of silver, and if you pay a tax of 100 wen, the people will be miserable; a factory on one acre of land can easily pay a tax of 1 tael to 1,000 taels of silver a month, and the court is happy, the merchants are happy, and the workers are happy, and they are all happy！”

"Excuse me: Is this for the benefit of the country and the people or for the benefit of the people?"

"A Cheng'en Temple covers an area of 43 acres, just to make a temple, the royal family can't go to it twice a year, and it doesn't produce any value, but wants the imperial court to allocate silver to support him; I circle him ten acres of land, and the imperial court earns one million taels of silver a year? Which is more important? I can't wait to occupy all of him!"

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that in the future, all the parts of the court deliberations, ministers' recitals, and various palace newspapers should be clearly stated, so that people can see at a glance; for example: if a certain place opens up hundreds of acres of land, is it 100 or 900? The population of a certain place has increased by a certain amount, and is it one person or 10,000 people?"

Another example: the Hongyi cannon is infinitely powerful, and it can be destroyed for dozens of miles with one cannon. At first glance, it looks like it is powerful, but in fact, he is proficient in muskets and artillery, and knows that this ten miles is between three and ten miles; and the so-called collapse can kill one or twenty people and injure twenty or thirty people when it hits a pile of people, and kill and injure about 50 people with a single shot; and if he is unlucky, he will blow up a pile of dirt at most. The truth is that tens of thousands of people were killed by artillery in the war, and it is impossible to exceed 1,000 people, and the rest were scared away. ”

"Taking the explosion of Wang Gongchang as an example, 537 people were reported dead in the imperial history of Xicheng, and they became thousands in the "Tianbiandi Bao", and after a few changes, it became 20,000, and it was blown up for more than ten miles. Accurate figures can also reduce fraud and bribery. ”

Chang Wei changed his words and said: "It's far away, and then again, it occupies ten acres of completely idle and useless temple property, in exchange for the prosperity of the machine bureau." The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with it, and that the minister's behavior should not be punished, but should be commended!"

Zhou Yanru was not lightly touched by his final conclusion, "It's really a strong word, a bunch of nonsense!"

Dozens of ministers in the court also shook their heads again and again, even if they don't punish the crime, it's shameless to want to be rewarded!

However, these well-founded words undoubtedly had a strong shock and persuasive power, and the emperor waved away Zhou Yanru and said: "Zhun Qing played! In the future, the machine bureau will be expanded, and it can be expanded to Cheng'en Temple as appropriate!"

As soon as this matter was over, Chang Wei was about to throw out a bombshell to cut the domain, but he saw a person come out of the class and played: "Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is not well supervised, which causes the Cheng'en Temple Zuo Jueyi Sect to rebel, and the minister Ni Wenhuan agrees with Lord Chang's bullet seal, and the minister is willing to impeach Lord Zhou together with Lord Chang!"

Chang Wei not only did not feel happy, but his heart was alert. Ni Wenhuan, one of the five tigers of the eunuch party, is Tai Changqing and an important staff member of Wei Zhongxian, and it will be complicated if this person is involved!

As soon as Ni Wenhuan's voice fell, a group of eunuchs and imperial historians came out to impeach Zhou Yanru, and finally Wu Chunfu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Tian Ji of Dali Temple, and Li Kuilong, the right imperial history, these three tigers also seconded the proposal.

The impeachment failure was supposed to bear the name of false accusation, the light was fined, and the heavy was dismissed, so many people were impeached together, and the emperor couldn't stand it, so he had to order the dismissal, Zhou Yanru was stripped of his black gauze official uniform by the samurai on duty on the spot, and expelled from the imperial city.

Although it was the eunuch Ni Wenhuan who played a role in this impeachment, it was Chang Wei who started it, and the courtiers couldn't help but re-examine Chang Wei's energy.

Although we all know that Chang Wei is capable and has the emperor's favor, but the court's political affairs are not the emperor's words, and they need the support of many courtiers to implement, otherwise no one will do their job, which is also the reason why the courtiers form a party.

Although Chang Wei has real power and the support of the emperor, what can he do on his own? However, now that there is a confluence of eunuchs, things have changed a lot, and everyone is speculating in their hearts whether Chang Wei has joined the eunuchs.

Chang Wei didn't have time to guess what Ni Wenhuan was thinking, he took advantage of the situation and threw out a song to cut the domain!

The middle-aged eunuch behind the throne read in a subdued voice: "Only one person rules the world, not one person under the world, and the vassal king consumes a huge ...... of seven million taels of silver a year."

Chang Wei had never seen this eunuch before, so he casually pulled a person next to him and asked, "Hey, brother, this eunuch is eloquent, what's his name?"

The man had a bitter face, and replied in a voice like a mosquito humming: "Master Chang is quieter, the above is chanting, let's talk below, and I want a court staff when I am caught by the imperial history." ”

Chang Wei snorted: "Then you are still talking nonsense, quickly tell who he is." ”

The man replied: "Adults often go in and out of Ouchi, why don't you even know Tu Wenfu." ”

It turned out to be the eunuch Tu Wenfu who was the master of ceremonies, and there were four eunuchs who were written by the pen, because Wei Fatzi was illiterate, and he generally drafted edicts and recited the folds by other people. ”

It means that he Tu Wenfu and Feng Quan are the big names in power in the eunuch party, who once seized the mansion of the eldest princess of Ning'an, with hundreds of followers, and they are invincible, and the officials below the squire have to visit him in court when they see him, and they are the first eunuchs under Wei Zhongxian.

It is strange to say that Chang Wei has entered the palace many times, and the people he has seen are Wei Fatzi and Wang Tiqian, and he has indeed never seen this Tu Wenfu, presumably it was not him who was on an errand at that time.

Chang Wei asked the person next to him again, "Hey, who is your brother? Seeing that you are wearing a seven-rank official robe to the palace, you must be in the middle of the matter!"

In the Ming Dynasty, it was an independent institution, and because it was divided into six departments, it was called the six departments in the matter. The palm prints of the six departments are all given to the middle of the matter, but it is only the seventh grade, and the left and right are given to the middle of the matter and the middle of each section are all from the seventh grade.

Don't look at the low official position, but the six departments give a lot of power in things. Not only can they inspect the mistakes of the six ministries and hundreds of officials, but they also serve as officials participating in examinations at all levels, and these seven-grade officials also participate in the activities of court meetings and court pushes, which can only be attended by the officials of various ministries and halls.

In addition, he also has the power to refute the emperor's will, and the refutation, cancellation, recital, impeachment, etc. are all on behalf of the Son of Heaven to inspect hundreds of officials and Pepsi, which is the emperor's eyes and ears, and is known as the small cabinet!

The man said: "The official department will give Ruan Dayue in the matter." ”

Chang Wei said meaningfully: "It turned out to be Lord Ruan, I have been looking up for a long time!"

Ruan Dacheng can be said to be a traitor, a wall-to-wall grass, or a person who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and his experience reflects the trend of the struggle between Donglin and the eunuchs.

Ruan Dayue was once a disciple of Gao Panlong, a famous scholar in Donglin. His fellow villager Zuo Guangdou is the leader of Donglin and a good friend of Ruan Dayue. In the struggle to oust Fang Congzhe, Ruan Dayue made the first contribution, and the "Donglin Point General Record" ranked nineteenth, nicknamed "Tianjiu Xing did not block Ruan Dacheng in the matter".

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, there were vacancies in the department, and Zuo Guangdou notified Ruan Dacheng to come to Beijing to fill it. And Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian and his gang had infighting with Zuo Guangdou, and they were ready to switch to Wei Dazhong, a Donglin cadre.

After internal transactions, when Ruan Dayue arrived in the capital, Yang Lian and others asked him to do engineering. The six section officials are the first, and the workers are the last. Ruan Dacheng was very angry, and at this time, Wei Zhongxian reached out to let Ruan Dacheng get his wish.

But Ruan Dacheng only worked as a clerk for a month, and Donglin's terrible pressure made him abandon his official position and flee back to his hometown. From then on, Ruan Dacheng broke with Donglin, Wei Zhongxian killed Yang Lian and other six gentlemen, and after seizing power, he recalled Ruan Dayue.

He knew that he was born in Donglin, and he followed Wei Zhongxian to be an anti-Donglin pioneer, so he acted very low-key, and only became a clerk.

Ruan Dayue replied in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

In the sound of the two talking like mosquitoes, Tu Wenfu read the end, "...... If we don't get rid of the accumulated evils, it will be a great disaster for the country! Therefore, the ministers will write a letter to cut down the feudal domain!"

After the recitation, no one agreed, nor objected, and the huge imperial palace was quiet without even a sound, cutting the feudal domain is a big thing after all!

Chang Wei stood up again, described the harmfulness of the million-dollar feudal royal clan, vividly depicted the snowball theory, and said that cutting the feudal domain could get back the benefits of 600 million acres of fertile land.

After the bitter discussion of the benefits and disadvantages, the officials began to discuss, and some people tentatively said: "Chang Daren is so enthusiastic about cutting the feudal domain, what benefits do you want to seek?"

Chang Wei replied with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "In the first month, the prince of Qin has the opportunity to enter the king of Qin, and his sister Chang Linggui is the princess. This official is dedicated to the court, for the country, and for the people of the world, and has no selfishness!"

Chang Wei also elaborated on the theory that the princes were decreasing from generation to generation, and that the princes would become commoners for five generations, and some people were afraid that the vassal kings would raise troops to rebel; Chang Wei also put forward the map letters in Wang Gongchang's explosion and the Fu Wang's mansion, explaining that the vassal kings who wanted to rebel would rebel even if they were treated well.

He also said that he could easily break through the Erwang Mansion with a thousand brocade guards, and he said bitterly for an hour, but the court was always hesitant. Everyone knows the harm of the vassal king, and Chang Wei's method is also feasible, but when it comes to cutting the feudal domain, no one dares to support it easily, after all, this is a thing that can shake the country's foundation.

"It's so difficult to really do something!" Just when Chang Wei was exhausted, the Jinyi Wei Han General on duty rushed into the hall with a black cover in his hand.

At first sight, dozens of ministers in the palace changed color, red is good news, and black is the loss of teachers, loss of land, rebellion and other things.

Song Shu handed it over, and the emperor saw that Long Yan's face had changed drastically, and after reading it, he took a long breath and handed it to Tu Wenfu: "Read!"

"The hope of the military preparation of Shaanxi Province: Shaanxi has been plagued by famine for many years, there has been no rain for a long time, the grass and trees are scorched, the villagers have fled, and they are starving. The people's skin and bones are exhausted, and there is no support for saving the dead......"

Wu Zhiwang's recital is obviously telling the truth: the hungry people are urgent, everyone is angry, and they want to oppose the exploitation of the rich and resist the expropriation of officials in order to survive. Since the beginning of spring, there has been a shortage of green and yellow, the famine has become more and more serious, and the epidemic has been raging, and there are many dead people, the grass and trees are exhausted, people cannibalize, and the officials have looted even more.

The second king of white water, the light road, etc., gathered hundreds of victims, wielding knives and weapons, painting their faces with ink, and raising flags to rebel. To Chengcheng, Wang Er shouted: "Who dares to kill Zhixian?" everyone responded sharply!

Wang Er led the crowd to attack the county seat, killed Zhang Douyao, the magistrate, plundered the treasury, and retreated to the north of the Luo River in Baishui County. The hungry people gradually increased, and the momentum grew, so they turned to Weibei, attacked the city and captured the village, beheaded the evil officials, plundered the gentry, and the hungry people flocked to it.

The government sent troops to encircle and suppress, and the soldiers took advantage of the situation to kill the officials and rebel, and merged with the thief army, and in just ten days, 5,000 people followed, poisoning Hancheng, Pucheng, Yijun, Luochuan, and Baishui counties.

At that time, Wang Jiayin of Fugu in northern Shaanxi gathered hungry people to respond, and Wang Er led a team north to join it, and the thief army spread over 10,000. Wang Er and Wang Jiayin led the crowd south to poison the Yellow Dragon.

Everywhere he passed, he killed officials, broke prisons, opened granaries, helped the hungry, and swept Weibei. There are Gao Yingxiang in Ansai, Wang Zuohang, Feishan Tiger, and Big Red Wolf in Yichuan, Wang Hu and Heisha God in Luochuan, Wang Monk in Yanchuan, Wang Daliang in the south of Hanzhong, Han Chaozai in Qingyang, Zhou Dawang in Wudu to raise the flag and oppose it, and for a time 100,000 lumens rose up, and Shaanxi was in a precarious situation.

Shaanxi Dusi and Bingbeidao are powerless to suppress it, and the situation is extremely critical, please ask the emperor to immediately send a large army to quell the chaos! Although the criminal minister dies, he has no regrets!

As soon as Tu Wenfu finished reading, the court immediately shouted like a frying pot: "Wu Zhiwang lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he should be hunted and killed." "The three divisions of Shaanxi, conceal and do not report, mislead the country and lose the land, and they should be hunted and killed. "Strictly order the Shaanxi region to suppress the rebellion. ”
