Wanli Xinming

Chapter 374 Tax Reform (V)

On the 14th day of April in the 27th year of Wanli, Guo Siji, the deputy envoy of the inspection department of Zhejiang Province to inspect Huining and Ningdao military preparations, reported that Xiuning County, Daoshi District, found a demon book "Dagan Qiyun", which contained words of conspiracy, and was called "Zeng Guang" Lord of the new world.The editor-in-chief is Zeng Guang, a demon monk, and his layman's name is Yang Zhongkui, who has been arrested.His confession was that Liang, a lecturer in the county, who was named Ru Yuan, participated in the compilation of the demon book, and now he went to the Zhejiang Procuratorate, and proposed to go to Dali Temple for the crime of treason, and have Yang and Liang be reexamined and beheaded.

The Zhejiang Provincial Commissioner did not dare to neglect, and the Commissioner Yu Menglin took the file and reported it directly to the Governor of Zhejiang.Zhejiang Governor Teng Belun saw that he was still in a hurry to speak, so he asked, "What does Bo Xiang have to say?"

Yu Menglin said: "Futai, Guo Siji should be damned - this guy is pretending to be confused, there must be grievances in this case, you don't need to see the file to know."

Hearing this, Teng Bolun raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Yu Menglin and said, "You understand."

Yu Menglin smiled and said: "The so-called Liang Ruyuan means He Xinyin! He Xinyin is from Liangjia Village, Yongfeng, Ji'an, Jiangxi. In the past, because of his conspiracy with Lan Daoxing, he fell down and changed his name to He Xinyin after he fled to the rivers and lakes. Others say that many people in the world don't know his original name. I only knew about it because I knew Li Zhi well."

As soon as these words came out, Teng Bolun took a deep breath, slapped the table and scolded: "No wonder I just thought the name Liang Ruyuan was familiar, no wonder! Guo Si is extremely cruel! This bastard is going crazy trying to get promoted!"

Guo Siji wanted to be promoted, and he went crazy and made a big gamble on his career. This was his own choice, but the kidnapped Teng Bolun followed suit.Although the emperor's attitude towards He Xinyin's article has not yet been reported in the capital, it is known from common sense that anger and anger are certain. If Zhejiang vindicates the case, will Teng Futai still have an official career?

Teng Bolun wanted to hold the shelf of the Futai and couldn't lift it up, so he scolded Guo Siji for half a quarter of an hour in front of Yu Menglin.After scolding for a while, seeing that Yu Menglin was a little confused, he couldn't help but move in his heart: "Bo Xiang, first tell me what you plan to do with it?"

Yu Menglin still smiled and said: "Futai don't have to worry. Guo Siji, this idiot, was still alive ten years ago - he has no idea what kind of emperor the emperor is."

Hearing this, Teng Bolun stood up, turned around the governor's case, walked to Yu Menglin, smiled at him and said, "Yes, Bo Xiang has been by the emperor's side for several years, and he must be sure to handle this case - I Sincerely ask for advice.”

Yu Menglin hurriedly got up and bent over and said: "Futai is shattering the lower official. The lower official has already looked at the file. The so-called Liang Ruyuan's confession is as expected, only his handprint, no signature and drawing. Think of what kind of person He Xinyin is, he can make Guo Siji a trick. ? I think the key to this matter is that Futai made a Jun order to let him escort all the criminals into the province, lest he make a bad move in Xiuning."

"I have already dispatched competent people to go to Xiuning with a warrant, lest He Xinyin be killed in prison - if Futai issues another order, forgive that Guo Siji would not dare to disobey. Wait until He Xinyin arrives at the governor's yamen. , the initiative is entirely up to us. When the time comes, how to turn this case over, how much to turn it over, and Futai can play the silver medal directly, then we will know what the emperor's attitude is."

Hearing this, Teng Bolun let out a long sigh and said, "No wonder Bo Xiang has been so young and has been trained by the emperor himself, and he is not leaking! Good! I will write a warrant!"

However, Teng Bolun and Yu Menglin still underestimated the lower limit of people's hearts.When Futai Jun's order came to Xiuning, Yu Menglin's faction had already returned - He Xinyin was already very old, and he died of an old illness in prison less than two days after being sentenced!

When the news of He Xinyin's death in prison came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and there was an injustice through the ages.He Xinyin was originally invited by Huizhou merchant Jia Shencheng and others to give lectures as a guest, but now he was tortured to death inexplicably.Seeing that the hearts of the people were boiling, Teng Bo Lun didn't dare to act rudely. While he personally came to comfort him, Guang Bao hurriedly played the imperial court, and at the same time, [-] li hurriedly played the silver medal directly, and asked Zhu Yijun for instructions on the next step.

Yu Menglin thought that the disposal was not leaking, but the plan did not change quickly. No one would have thought that Guo Siji could be so stupid.As soon as He Xinyin died, the situation immediately intensified. In two or three days, scholars in Nanzhili and Zhejiang were encouraged by the Nanjing Daily to post the word "injustice" all over the streets.

Li Zhi published "He Xinyin Lun" [-], [-], and [-] in a row, calling on the Nanjing court to imprison himself, expressing his willingness to die with He Xinyin.If the Nanjing court did not arrest him, then "the food will be eaten from now on, and this strange grievance will not be reinstated."He praised He Xinyin in the article, "People in the world are not willing to take care of their lives, and they are not willing to manage their lives. The public family is also a wealthy person, but he wants to live together with the sages of the world between heaven and earth." He Xinyin is directly raised. to the status of standing side by side with the sages.

He Xinyin belonged to the various schools of Xinxue. Most people did not approve of He Xinyin's radicalism, but because of He Xinyin's martyrdom, his teacher Yan Shannong and Longxi Mr. Wang Ji and other super bosses spoke out in anger, why Xinyin complained.

It seems that God is making the current situation more difficult. Mr. Longxi was already on the verge of death, and the next day after speaking, he actually rode a crane to the west. This time, the entire Ming Dynasty was agitated. "The public comes and goes alone, and I have no former self... The public thinks that the world hears what I have done, but they think it is a big strange, and all those who want to get up and kill me, but I don't know that Confucius has done it first." [Note 1]
Zhu Yijun in the capital heard the bad news and did not recover for a long time.Zhang Siwei's face in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was earth-colored, and he didn't know what to do with his claws.Zhu Yijun had already sentenced Guo Siji to death in his heart, but he decided to wait and see - what is the opinion of the Prime Minister?
Regrettably, Zhang Siwei's first thought was the pressure: "Nowadays, it is mostly scholars who are clamoring for it. It is necessary to decree the supervision of schools in various places to control the scholars' rioting. , they also want to control the situation of the college."

Zhu Yijun was silent when he heard the words.Seeing that his opinion was not up to the purpose, Zhang Siwei was a little frustrated at first, and then he gritted his teeth and suggested: "Pan Shuilian is in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Education, and the minister thought that he must have a good plan."

Zhu Yijun still frowned and didn't answer, just paced back and forth in the hall.Wei Chao, who was standing on the side, sneered inwardly, thinking how did this Siwei become the prime minister?The emperor wants your advice, what's the point of you throwing the blame at this time?

Zhang Siwei hit two soft nails in a row, and his frustration couldn't be added. His second suggestion was actually admitting cowardice, but the emperor did not agree with him - this is extremely dissatisfied with his suggestion.

However, now that the scholars in the south are making such a fuss, if they are treated with tenderness, they will not be able to turn the sky in the future?If these scholars are linked with industrial and commercial giants, then the tax reform of the imperial court is still a shit?

After pacing and thinking for a long time, Zhu Yijun finally ordered: "First report to Teng Bolun and Yu Menglin, arrest Guo Siji and put him in prison, and rehabilitate He Xinyin - as for the case of the demon monk Zeng Guang, Teng Bolun needs to investigate carefully, and no more Unjustly killing one person." Zhang Siwei saw that the emperor finally chose to compromise, although he was a bit slandered, but he also gave his opinion, he was relieved and said that he obeyed the order.

"Send Li Weizhen to Nanjing with my handwritten letter to persuade Li Zhi, this idiot. Let Li Weizhen explain the tax reform plan to him clearly, and let him not cause trouble for me!" Zhang Siwei listened and still bowed to accept the order.

"Mr. Fengpan, the government office already has the first draft of the tax reform plan, plus the provisions on the protection of private property suggested by He Xinyin, the two Beijing newspapers immediately issued it to solicit public opinion." - Zhang Siwei opened his mouth and then bent his body It is even lower, and it is still said to obey the purpose.

"Wei Chao, let Wang Tong come to see me!"

After a series of wills were issued, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Siwei, who was a little skinny, and sighed secretly in his heart - do you want to take this opportunity to replace this guy?
It is true that he is obedient, but the Prime Minister is not only obedient enough.I am very tired because my political thinking cannot keep up with my prime minister.Oh, old man, how do you say go and go?

　Note 1: Mr. Longxi Wang Jiyuan Shikong died in the 11th year of Wanli. Due to the development of medical treatment, this time and space lived to the point where He Xinyin made a voice.
