Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 492
Mrs. Li took the so-called newspaper, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "What did you let my concubine read, and I can't read. But this newspaper is more interesting than ordinary books.

You can see that some of these topics are marked in blue and some in red, which are very eye-catching.The text is in black, and the writing is very regular.

You can see that there are gaps between some words, and some ink dots are also dotted. This is a very thoughtful sentence break.

It is rare for the imperial court to be so considerate and pragmatic.

The concubine is illiterate, so she can only see these superficial things. "

Yang Xun nodded: "My lady is right, that's exactly what she said. This newspaper cost me a small silver dollar."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li took a deep breath: "A few pieces of paper, why are they so expensive?"

Yang Xun replied: "The imperial court set up newspaper kiosks in every street and square, copied large-character newspapers, pasted them on the walls, and let the people watch them. There were also court officials chanting and explaining.

This is free of charge, but if you want to take home a small print version, you have to spend money to buy it.

The official said that this was the first issue of the newspaper, all hand-copied, and there were only a few hundred copies in total.If you don't want money, everyone will go up and grab it, and it will be gone. "

"Why is the husband angry?"

Yang Xun snorted coldly: "This newspaper is talking about major events that happened recently, such as last month's mutiny, the deposed empress dowager, the emperor's sin against himself, and the punishment for the vassals who participated in the mutiny, Handling of nobles, civil and military officers, generals, and eunuchs.

Don't tell me, this newspaper is really useful. After reading it, I can know many things that I didn't know before.And every word and sentence in it has deep meaning. It is worthwhile to spend a penny to buy a copy and study it carefully.

Don't look at a penny as if it is expensive, but many servants from noble families are rushing to buy it.I was lucky enough to get one. "

"Then why are you angry?"

Yang Xun replied: "Look, the newspaper said that many vassal kings, nobles, civil servants, military generals, and eunuchs encouraged the emperor Gongrang to launch a mutiny, intending to hold the current emperor hostage and seize the throne for restoration.

Behind it is a large list of masterminds and accomplices.

Others can do it, but I'm just defending the injustice for Yuan Bin, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

When Gong Rang's car was accidentally trapped in a civil fort, it was Yuan Bin who was not afraid of hardships and life and death, and followed him closely, and finally saved Emperor Gong Rang from the military disaster and returned safely.

Now in this mutiny, it is Yuan Bin who is loyal to advise and prevent Emperor Gongrang from launching the mutiny.

In the end, the emperor respectfully ordered someone to tie him up in the firewood room to silence him, so Yuan Bin did not participate in the mutiny.

But you read what was written in the newspaper, Yuan Bin was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison and is still being interrogated.

Zhongliang suffers from this disaster, is there no righteous man who dares to stand up and speak for him?Although I have no official or position, and I don't know Yuan Bin, but seeing this injustice, I want to speak out. "

"What is the husband planning to do?"

"Write memorials and beat Dengwen drums."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li trembled in fright, and spilled the hot soup she was holding.

Yang Xun hurriedly stepped forward to check, but Li Shi didn't care about the burn, and urged eagerly: "Husband, you can't, maybe you will also go to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

Besides, if we disobey the Holy Majesty because of this, and Long Yan gets angry, will our family still have a way to survive? "

Yang Xun shook his head resolutely: "I have made up my mind. I will go to beat Dengwen Drum tomorrow morning. My lady doesn't need to persuade me any more. If my lady is afraid of getting involved, she can go back to her mother's house now."

The husband and wife entangled for a long time, but Li finally couldn't hold back her man.

Early the next morning, the Dengwen Drum, which had been silent for many years in the capital, was finally sounded.

Then Yang Xun held the memorial in his hand and knelt outside the gate of Daming, waiting for the emperor to summon him in person.

Now it was the turn of Wang Wen and other cabinet ministers to have a headache.Among them, Wang Wen, Wei Ji, and Xue Xuan suffered the most severe headaches.

When this kind of thing happened, the chief officials of the Sanfa Division were the first to bear the brunt.

Wang Wen asked Wei Ji, "Old Wei, should we take the memorial?"

Wei Ji asked back: "Is it possible not to pick up?"

Wang Wen replied: "According to the court system, once someone beats the Dengwen Drum, the Holy Majesty must be summoned in person. We can also directly report to the Holy Majesty instead of accepting the memorial.

It is up to the Holy Majesty to decide whether or not to receive the interview. If it is the case, Yang Xun will submit the memorial in person at that time. "

Wei Ji replied: "Let's take it. More and more people gather outside the Daming Gate, so many people are watching. Besides, the Holy Majesty has to know the content of the memorial before he can decide how to deal with it."

So Wang Wen nodded and ordered someone to take Yang Xun's memorial and send it to Ganquan Palace on horseback. As for Yang Xun, he was ordered to go home and wait for a reply.

But Yang Xun refused to leave, and still knelt outside the Daming Gate, while thousands of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

Normally, there might not be so many people.However, once the emperor's newspaper came out, it aroused widespread concern among the people in the capital.

In the first issue of the newspaper, there are also the emperor's edict of guilt, the characterization and disposal of the mutiny, and a series of things such as the abolition of the vassal king and the conferment of the vassal king. It is difficult for people not to pay attention.

But Zhu Qiyu got up very early today, and after handling government affairs in Qingyun Pavilion, He Yi, Gao Yao, and Wang Xian were left chatting there.

Then Yang Xun's memorial was sent up.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it once, and couldn't help being surprised: This is a bit scary. There seems to be such a person as Yang Xun in history. After Zhu Qizhen seized the family and restored it, he killed the donkey and imprisoned Yuan Bin in Jinyiwei Prison.

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen also created the famous saying: Let Ru rule it, but give Yuan Bin back to me.

That is to say, let your Jin Yiwei torture you severely, as long as you leave a breath for my savior Yuan Bin.

Then Yang Xun, a paint craftsman, went to beat the Dengwen drum and wrote a memorial to defend Yuan Bin. He was also thrown into the Imperial Prison and beaten to death.

Hey, I didn't expect, I didn't expect that what happened in history is still happening today.Although the times and events were different, Yang Xun still played the Dengwen drum for Yuan Bin.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to He Yi.He Yi looked at it and handed it to Gao Yao.

After several people had seen it, Zhu Qiyu asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Wang Xian replied: "According to the court system, the Holy Majesty still needs to meet in person. Otherwise, the common people will have doubts, and the public opinion will be unfavorable to the Holy Majesty."

Gao Yao retorted: "But Yang Xun was supposed to go home and wait for the call, but he still knelt outside the Daming Gate, clearly suspected of forcing the palace.

If it is allowed easily, and everyone will follow suit in the future, where will the saint be placed? "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and nodded: "Xingyi, what do you think?"

He Yi also smiled and replied: "Although the court system stipulates that the person who beats the Dengwen drum must be received by the emperor in person. However, the emperor may not necessarily meet him in person, as long as he gives a satisfactory answer, he will revoke the interview by himself." Just ask for it."

Gao Yao asked: "Then he is suspected of coercing the palace, how to solve this problem? As soon as this example is opened, a random person will beat the Dengwen drum, and then kneel outside the Daming gate. Is that the end?"

He Yi smiled and said, "Jin Ying and Xing'an's charges have been concluded, and the Tribunal has formally convicted them, so it's time for execution."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Well, that's right, I remember that the Ministry of Punishment had already reported the list of executions, and I temporarily suppressed it.

Get the list, and I'll check it out for them right away. "

Hearing this, Wang Xian went to fetch the list immediately, and with a swip of Zhu Qiyu's imperial pen, he put an end to the two eminent eunuchs.

At this time, Gao Yao also figured it out, it was his fellow villager and senior, Master He, who was ruthless enough, Yang Xun just beat the Dengwen drum and knelt outside the Daming gate, you would have to linger twice in front of others A big eunuch.

Even if Yang Xun was courageous and wasn't afraid of such a bloody scene, the high-pitched voice of the eunuch, wailing while being tortured there, would be more ear-piercing.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about this, instead he smiled at everyone: "The newspaper is more successful than I imagined. It's just the first issue, and there's such a response.

I have also thought about the theme of the second issue, and I will talk about lifting the sea ban and sailing to the West.

So what do these things have to do with ordinary people?

Tell them that the imperial court will not accumulate too much wealth in their own hands.Once the Western trade generates rich income, I will gradually reduce the domestic business tax and reduce the banknote tariff card. "

Wang Xian asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, once the income from overseas trade increases, you will take the initiative to reduce the domestic commercial tax, so as to keep the total income of the imperial court stable?"

"Yes, for example, earn 300 million taels of silver a year through overseas trade.

Then I will reduce the commercial tax by 100 million in the country.

When the business tax is lowered, people can buy cheaper goods.

With fewer checkpoints, commodities can be more widely circulated.

Let's not talk about remote places, let's just talk about the capital, which is the most benevolent area in Ming Dynasty. Look at how business taxes are collected in the city.

In two days, I will personally take you out for a walk, and you will know.It's disgusting to death, if you are a businessman, you will scold your mother.

At that time, you will know that I definitely don't have a fever in the head, let alone convulsions. "
