I have a cornucopia

Chapter 31 If there is a disease, we must treat it
  This is a well-designed conspiracy.

Not only Yang Feng, but also Su Dunsheng and Du Li also participated.

Because it is certain that Chongzhen will not agree with this Knights of Confucius and Mencius...

Don’t you just want to do group training?

No matter what skin it is on the outside, it is regimental training on the inside. This is indeed the best way to deal with the current situation, but for a unified dynasty, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. The final result is that everything has been clearly understood. Precedent, Emperor Xian of Han is watching! Once this started, it would no longer be Shandong's business. The Shandong gentry could protect the Mausoleum of Confucius, but could the Nanzhi gentry also protect the Xiaoling Mausoleum? Can the Huguang gentry defend Jingling? The gentry of Henan strongly demanded that we defend Zhongdu. Although Zhongdu is not in Henan, we are so loyal!

Shaanxi gentry...

We must protect the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.

Just say that Huang Di is greater than Kong Sheng, right?
  The reason doesn't matter, you can take whatever you want, as long as you dare to do this, we will treat you equally.

Then the gentry groups from all over the country were trained and armed, and they had military power in their hands to directly confront the imperial court. If they could quell the rogue bandits and defeat the Jianlu captives, what else could Chongzhen do besides hand over the rule?
  Your Majesty, please remain silent.

There were ministers representing the gentry from each province.

This is in line with the Confucian philosophy that the emperor has always pursued rule from above.

Drink poison to quench thirst.

Once this magic box is opened, the best outcome of the Ming Emperor will be the Emperor of Zhou.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty was able to survive in the end only because of Lafayette's clever skills, but the most important thing is that the great powers need a ruler who would rather be friends than domestic slaves to provide them with maximum blood-sucking. After all, anyone with a real sense of responsibility can No ruler would ever betray his country to the satisfaction of Lafayette, and similarly a ruler with some ideals would not so deliberately seek to develop into poverty and weakness.

But Chongzhen is definitely not Lafayette. He is not only a responsible person, but also an ambitious young man with ideals and ambitions...

Although he is bad here.

So he really would not agree with this Knights of Confucius and Mencius.

Yang Feng knew it very well.

But he also knew very well that Chongzhen bullied the weak and feared the strong.

In the later period, Chongzhen really killed civil servants like dogs, although they were basically incompetent and furious. For example, originally in history, he killed a governor and a governor this time, and the Queen of Autumn killed a chief minister to settle accounts.

but……

He did not dare to kill the general.

Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing can be said to be guilty enough.

But he endured it all.

He really bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Then get hard.

Let him know that he has to agree even if he agrees, and he has to agree even if he disagrees.

Besides, he didn't really stick to it. In fact, in April this year, he issued an edict to pardon the local tycoons who had formed strongholds to protect themselves, and allowed them to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng and others. Although it is useless if he does not pardon, and it cannot be said that he has truly liberalized regiment training, at least he has not allowed existing officials to actively recruit soldiers to form local private armies. He only pardoned those who had formed a stronghold to protect themselves.

So as long as the Shandong gentry is tough enough, he will hold his nose and endure it.

As long as he can endure it.

After all, he doesn't have a few days left to play.

"What are you doing, where is Mr. Yan Shenggong? Where is Mr. Yan Shenggong?"

Yang Feng shouted in front of the government office.

The scholars who were beating Chen Changyan immediately stopped.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"Mr. Yansheng, come in and confront me!"

Yang Feng shouted at the back of the crowd, Yan Shenggong, who was reflecting on himself with tears and runny noses.

The latter got up without hesitation, and then ran backwards like crazy. A scholar next to him calmly stretched out his foot and tripped him. Yan Shenggong immediately fell to the ground. There was a puddle of horse dung in front of him. In the feces, but this also saved him from serious injury to his face. And just as he was lying on the ground thrashing, Yang Feng walked forward boldly. Su Dunsheng, who was pressing Chen Xun's button, quickly got out of the way. Yang Feng stepped directly over Chen Xun's body, which was beaten into a pig's head, and then walked to Yan Shenggong. Beside him, he reached out and picked him up from the ground.

"Uh, hurry up and wipe it with Yan Shenggong."

He looked at Yan Shenggong's face covered with horse dung with disgust.

The scholar smiled and wiped it for Yanshenggong.

Yanshenggong, who had been blinded by horse dung just now, saw Yang Feng's face.

"Feng, Feng, Fengsheng, I have a sudden phlegm attack and am talking nonsense."

He said tremblingly.

"Sudden phlegm sickness."

Yang Feng nodded.

Then he showed a sincere smile.

"I'm best at treating sudden phlegm diseases. Mr. Yan Sheng, let's go in and talk things over first, and then I'll treat you."

He said.

Then he carried Yan Shenggong like he was carrying a three-flowered flower and turned back. When he passed by Chen Xun, the latter still had his hands outstretched, because his eyes were swollen and he couldn't see who it was, and he wanted to say something to him. Yang Feng asks for help...

"Go and tell Chen Tai that Chen Changyan, the censor of Shandong Province, is their internal correspondent."

Yang Feng said.

Su Dunsheng smiled and left immediately.

"Yes, I feel that this guy is colluding with Jianlu. You see, am I right? Go and report to the magistrate Ming that he has captured his slave, and the truth will be found out."

The scholar who said Chen Changyan colluded with Jianlu said immediately.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Changyan also stretched out his hand and scratched in the air. Yang Feng carried Yan Shenggong directly in, and then walked straight into the lobby. Fan Zhiwan, who had replaced the desk, quickly stood up to greet him. He ignored the horse dung on Yan Shenggong and personally pulled the imperial chair for Yan Shenggong. Yang Feng pressed Yan Shenggong directly in. The latter has completely given up struggling. In fact, he has known that he was wrong this time since the scholars besieged him, and the mistake was very serious. This time he is standing on the opposite side of all the gentry in Shandong. For two hundred thousand taels of silver, he had made himself the public enemy of the Shandong gentry. He had bloodbathed Shandong twice with the rebels, and the rogue bandits running rampant in various places had made the Shandong gentry completely disappointed with the court. They had long wanted to form a regiment to train themselves. Save.

Yang Feng's appearance perfectly met their wishes.

They all support Yang Feng.

He blocked the way of the Shandong gentry.

As for him being extorted 200,000 taels, that's none of his business.

He deserves it!
  These bastards might be gloating about their misfortune!

After all, they all suffered, but not him.

"Supervisor Fan, I am old and suffering from phlegm disease. It is nonsense to say that Yang Sheng was extorting money from me. I voluntarily gave up the two hundred thousand taels to be used by the Knights of Confucius and Mencius to protect the mausoleum and the Confucian temples in various places. All accounts are clear and have been handed over to the knights to recruit warriors according to my instructions.

It's all voluntary.

I had a sudden phlegm attack and was talking nonsense. I woke up when I was blown by the wind when I went out.

But he didn’t want the supervisor to misunderstand Fengsheng.

Fengsheng is a good person! "

He said.

"I see. Fortunately, I called Fengsheng here and asked about it, but I didn't report it to His Majesty, so it didn't lead to a big mistake."

Fan Zhiwan quickly said with a look of sudden realization.

"Is it just Chen Xun's place?"

He hesitated.

He couldn't control Chen Changyan.

The latter was the censor who patrolled Shandong. Although his rank was low, he was not under his jurisdiction. Even if he had the title of censor on his head, it was useless. All censors had the right to act alone, and Chen Changyan also had the right to impeach him.

Yang Feng looked at Duke Yansheng...

"Supervisor Fan, I have one more thing. The previously captured Jianlu general Chen Tai told me that Chen Changyan was the one who invited them to invade Shandong. The latter had colluded with them for a long time. This time he sent someone to inform him that the elites of the imperial court were We are all in Huguang chasing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, but there is not a single soldier in Shandong. As long as Jianlu enters the pass, he can go straight to Shandong and plunder, and only need to give him one million taels afterwards."

Duke Yan Sheng said with a serious face.

Fan Zhiwan took a deep breath, then looked at Yang Feng and then at Yan Shenggong...

Have you considered the feelings of the Shanxi gentry by framing them like this?
  He expressed his protest with his eyes.

"Chen Tai was captured. In order to escape his guilt, he bit him randomly."

He said.

Just stop it!
  Then he continued to protest with his eyes.

Yang Feng looked at Duke Yansheng with a pure face.

Yan Shenggong...

"Supervisor Fan, I also have the power to report matters. If Supervisor Fan ignores me, I will report to the court."

Duke Yan Sheng said with a solemn and upright expression.

"Supervisor Fan, I forgot to tell you that Chen Xunjian was severely injured by the indignation of the outsiders. He probably won't live long. Moreover, they have already gone to arrest his slaves. I think the latter will be honest. He must confess to his crime of colluding with the Jianlu, and Chen Tai also has many other crimes to answer for, such as colluding with the Jianlu and Shanxi merchants to smuggle arms and food to him."

Yang Feng said.

Fan Zhiwan took a deep breath again.

So if the Shanxi gentry insists on holding on, are you ready to continue to expose it?

But this does solve the problem.

He was simply afraid of the revenge of the Shanxi gentry and did not want to cause this trouble. He and Chen Changyan had no relationship at all, and Yang Feng had Chen Tai, a dog that could bite anyone at any time. Not to mention that the crimes of Shanxi merchants must be true... …

of course it's true.

It is impossible for Shanxi merchants to trade with Jianlu without dividing them among themselves.

This kind of thing is inherently collusive.

Even if there are no such crimes, Yang Feng only needs to let Chen Tai bite him, so the Shanxi gentry can only swallow this sigh of relief. After all, giving up Chen Changyan will save everyone from trouble.

"In this case, I will report to Your Majesty according to the report of Yan Shenggong."

He said.

"Supervisor Fan, the student would like to use your lobby."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Please."

Fan Zhiwan said.

After saying that, he walked straight outside.

Yan Shenggong suddenly woke up and reached out to grab him without hesitation. Fan Zhiwan was well prepared and quickly dodged away. Yan Shenggong stood up anxiously, but Yang Feng pushed him back to the Taishi chair. He raised his head in horror. Start looking at this devil-like man.

"Mr. Yansheng, you cannot afford to delay your illness. Since it is an illness, we must treat it. The student happens to know how to cure this sudden phlegm disorder and talk nonsense. It is said that yellow in people has a miraculous effect."

Yang Feng said ferociously.

"Ten, ten, one hundred thousand taels."

Duke Yan Sheng said tremblingly.
