Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 495

The impeachment of Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining, has become the focus of many people's attention. They feel that this is another major event for the Ming court. This is simply an 'eventful autumn'.

The spring has just ended, and many new scholars have just enjoyed the glory of being named on the gold list.Now he is either watching politics, or preparing to take office.It's just that these people are nothing now, even if they enter the court, it is difficult for them to occupy a high position in a short period of time, and they still need to continue to accumulate political achievements.

As for some major events today, it also includes that many people are concerned about the imperial court's army.

It is no secret that the Ming Dynasty will attack the rebellious officials and thieves of Goryeo who tried to usurp the throne and imprisoned their fathers and brothers.The imperial court is constantly dispatching troops and generals, and it is also constantly transporting food, grass and supplies. This is also an out-and-out military event.

It's just that for many people, such a battle is actually a bit far away, and it seems that it is not closely related to their interests.

For ordinary people, especially those in places like Nanzhili, what they care about is the income from the land.Although last year began to check the acres of land, verify household registration, etc., during this period of time there have been various reports about changes in the tax system and so on.

However, many people are also a little worried, especially some old people, who have lingering fears about the violent expropriation in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.There are also many "sighted people" who will be very worried that the two tax laws that have been in existence for hundreds of years will be abolished in this way, which will easily cause turmoil in the country.

In troubled times, this is also normal, even if it seems that the country is relatively stable and the regime is extremely stable.It's just that whether it's the court itself, or some surrounding environments, it may not be really stable.

It can only be said that the people of Daming were lucky, because the talented and generous Emperor Hongwu swept across the world and freed countless people from the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan.

It is also because whether it is Emperor Hongwu or the current Emperor Yingshi.Even though many people think that they are cold and cruel, they are really good to the people of Daming. They all hope that the country of Daming will be stable and the people will be prosperous and strong.

Zhang Lin was very depressed, he was also a Marquis after all, he could be regarded as a rising star of the Chang Department.It's just that he was beaten with a military stick by the emperor just now, and he was also ridiculed by Chang Mao, the leader of the Chang Clan.

Just when the Hou Mansion was depressed, the butler came quickly, "Master, the captain-in-law is here."

Zhang Lin froze for a moment, there were quite a few captains-in-laws in the Ming Dynasty.But it's a little hard to say which captain's son-in-law this is.

"It's Consort Guo." The steward said quickly, "The old servant asked the third master to receive guests in the front hall, so he hurried to report to the master."

At this moment, Zhang Lin understood that this Concubine Guo was not ordinary, he was the eldest son of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.Although she was not qualified to inherit the title, she married Princess Yongjia, the No.12 daughter of Emperor Hongwu, who was also one of the top relatives of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Wu Dinghou is the confidant of Emperor Hongwu, and now this veteran is also going to Korea.It's just that Marquis Wu Ding is also one of the '24 Generals of Huaixi'.Even Zhang Lin's father, Zhang Yi, was not the 24 generals of Huaixi, but a "Fengyang fellow".

"You." Guo Zhen came and said directly, "When we leave, we have to be carried to the Founder's side. If it wasn't for the sake of the same spirit, you I'm afraid it's going to be hard."

Zhang Lin said sullenly, "Brother Guo, we still don't know what it is. Your Majesty wants to deal with Marquis Huining. Why? If you talk about arrogance, you shouldn't be so aggressive!"

"You're the only one who is smart!" Guo Zhen said angrily, "You idiot can't figure out the way, so don't make foolish claims like us. There are smart people in the world, so you want to be strong?"

One must know that he is Guo Ying's eldest son, and now also Daming's son-in-law.His aunt was Concubine Ning of Emperor Hongwu, who was once in charge of the affairs of the harem.But even so, in the early years, in order to please the emperor's grandson at that time, Concubine Guo Ning did not less clearly offend the then prince's side concubine Lu.

Seeing that Zhang Lin still didn't understand, Guo Zhen said, "Other Wu Xuns don't speak up, so you are the one to stand out? Then Ninghou, and you have an in-law or something? Ushering in is not a serious crime. Let's see that Wu Xun's family is real. Crazy."

This is also the truth, Wu Xun is arrogant and domineering, Guo Zhen naturally knows about it.It's just that some people don't take trespassing seriously, or think that big things can be reduced to small things, Guo Zhen feels that this fact is absurd.

One must know that even Guo Ying, as Lao Zhu's confidant, is extremely rigorous himself.Even with Concubine Guo Ning's reasons, the whole Wudinghou's mansion did not dare to be arrogant.

"We wouldn't bother to mention you if it wasn't for the fact that we are in pain." Guo Zhen said bluntly, "Although some martial arts were deposed and expelled from the ranks in the early years, there are still more martial arts in the court. .”

Zhang Lin was dissatisfied, and said, "I waited for Wu Xun's family, but I was licking blood with a knife."

"Licking blood at the edge of a knife, which Wu Xun family is not like this?!" Guo Zhen became serious, and scolded, "Just relying on merit to do anything wrong? Your majesty is a national government, and Huining Hou's mansion is still hiding its population and seizing people's land. , what do you want Your Majesty to do?"

Zhang Lin was a little dumbfounded, he dared not speak.He naturally knew a little bit about what the emperor's income was, but he just didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Guo Zhen didn't hide any more, and said, "Marquis Huining relied on his military exploits, and his son seized the people's fields in Huaiyuan. Huaiyuan, where is that?"

Huaiyuan is the hometown of King Kaiping.Huining Hou dared to seize the people's land in Huaiyuan, which is simply lawless.Perhaps it is also because the martial arts have not been cleared for many years, and some people have become crazy, or confused.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many martial arts were rampant and lawless, and there were many cases of corruption and perverting the law.It's just that Lao Zhu cleaned up a batch, and also suppressed the domineering arrogance of those martial arts.

It's just that the imperial court seems to be "gentle" towards Wu Xun a lot in recent years, which also makes some Wu Xun's domineering come back again.

"Brother Guo, you can save the foolish brother." Zhang Lin said with a mournful face, ignoring the pain in his buttocks and back, pulling Guo Zhen's arm, "We really didn't know that Hou Ning would be like this, we just thought we were overstepping."

"I will go to the Kaiping Palace to plead guilty later. The Duke probably knows that you are stupid and is too lazy to see you. Your Majesty will also submit a memorial to plead guilty." Guo Zhen said, "Huining Hou thinks he is smart, thinking that now it is a good idea to steal and occupy the people's fields. It's okay. How wise is Your Majesty, to act recklessly at this time is the way to kill!"

Guo Zhen nodded again and again, he knew he was afraid now, probably because he really didn't know some inside information before.

What arrogance, ah, arrogance is just a 'petty charge'.Huining Hou Zhang Wen's greatest unwiseness was daring to invade the people's fields at such a moment.If it was a normal moment, this matter might have been suppressed.

It's just that he dared to do this at this time, which simply prevented the emperor from carrying out state affairs.Don't say that this is the emperor's promotion of dividing the income into the mu. Even if it is the two tax law, it is still a national government. This is related to the taxation of the imperial court. This is the foundation.

In fact, this is Zhang Wen's old confusion. He may indeed be relying on military merits, but he also has some old ideas.

The biggest problem with the two tax laws is that there are some problems in restricting land mergers. Even though Daming seems to be thriving now, it still has less land and more people.But many smart people also think that the land is the foundation, and they will never think that there is too much land.

What's more, places like Nanzhili are prosperous after all, and there are more people here.Occupying more civilian land here is obviously more valuable than land in other wild places.

Moreover, the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty was constantly recovering, but it was normal for ordinary people's families to be destroyed once they encountered any disaster.At this time, maybe they can only sell the fields and land, and then they will become tenant farmers of rich households.

Relying on his military merits, Zhang Wen still feels dissatisfied even if he has a lot of land tax exemptions, and wants to get more greedily.

It seems too greedy, it may not be a good thing, maybe it will be reduced from a high-ranking Marquis to a prisoner.

Zhu Yunying naturally didn't know about what happened in Heqinghou's mansion.But even if you know this, you don't really care about such things.

In fact, Zhu Yunying didn't really care whether Zhang Lin was a reckless man or had other thoughts. The main reason was that Zhu Yunying thought he was still in control of some things, which was enough for him.

Zhu Yunying still understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.Whether it is a civil servant or a general, Zhu Yunying also allows them to have their own small thoughts, which is not a problem.

As long as it does not affect the implementation of national policies, Zhu Yunying is actually quite generous, at least on the surface.

Compared with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying thought he was a little more generous.It's just that this kind of generosity is definitely relatively limited. There are some things that Zhu Yunying definitely cannot tolerate, such as Zhang Wen, Hou Ning this time.

Of course, Zhu Yunying couldn't tolerate such a thing.It's just that if it's purely arrogance, Zhu Yunying may not be ruthless.However, if it affects the implementation of state affairs, Zhu Yunying can definitely deal a severe blow.

This can be regarded as killing chickens to warn monkeys. At this time, if a character of sufficient weight is brought out, it is estimated that many people also need to weigh their own weight.

When Zhu Yunying was busy with state affairs, when he was busy dealing with government affairs, on the official road to Fengyang, a huge team was walking slowly.

Caught up by the broad dragon, little Zhu slept soundly on Lao Zhu's lap.And Lao Zhu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The iron hand that had held the sword was gently stroking Xiao Xiao Zhu's back at this moment, scratching Xiao Xiao Zhu's itch.

Suddenly there was a sound of hoofbeats, and Lao Zhu, who was originally kind-hearted, turned his eyes.Because his precious great-grandson frowned and sat up rubbing his eyes.

The great-grandson is resting, does anyone dare to bother him? !
