The Little First Grand Secretary in My House

“This is probably the case.” Zheng Yunjie said.

As for whether the riots in the weavers triggered the Suzhou Gongyuan strike, or whether the strike itself was aimed at the New Deal that had just been implemented in the area around Jiangnan, because the situation is still unknown and no one knows.

However, it is true to deal with the New Deal. After all, the increase in business tax is also regarded as the New Deal, but this matter is not handled by Xue Tingyan.

“Your Majesty, the old slave is incompetent, the old slave knows nothing, and he failed to get a timely insight into the Suzhou riots. The old slave should be damned.” Zheng Ancheng fell to his knees and knocked on the ground.

“You are really damn, there is such a mess, it is not enough to slap you and Li Jinzhong!”

There was a suffocating silence in the Qianqing Palace. Only Zheng Ancheng’s knocking head sounded, making people feel hairy.

“The minister said on the same day that this new policy has too many disadvantages and that innovation can be done, but we must pay attention to the methods and methods. These scholars are the pillars of the future of the court. The tribute of the court is really terrifying. It is known to the world that the court has no face! Feng Chengbao said.

With that said, he looked at Xue Tingyan: “Master Xue, you proposed this new policy. Now that something like this has happened, what do you do?”

Yang Chonghua sighed: “Master Xue is younger, and it’s normal to think too much. It’s normal to make a mistake. But the urgent matter now is how to resolve the matter in Suzhou. For this, Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with what Master Feng said. The Tribute Court test is really appalling. It is known to the world that the court’s face will be lost. This matter needs to be carefully considered, and a set of practical and feasible methods of comfort can be put in place. “

As the two said, most of the more than 20 officials agreed. Xue Tingyan had only one person, that is, Zheng Yunjie helped him to say a few words, but unfortunately the voice was not enough and was suppressed.

It was also a coincidence that Ye Ju, Lin Miao, and Chen Jian all served as examiners, and there were only a few high-ranking officials among the reformists who could only be besieged again.

Emperor Jiacheng suddenly stood up: “I say again, the implementation of the New Deal is urgent. Whoever dares to resist will be the enemy of me.”

His sharp gaze glanced below, and those who received this gaze dropped their heads.

“Xue Shilang’s errands are well done, and his hard work is also vivid in my mind. This time the incident was due to the improper handling of S Li Jian, which has nothing to do with Xue Shilang. I was curious, how could you do anything to him?” Is it dissatisfied with him, or dissatisfied with my implementation of the New Deal ?! “

“Secretary panic.”

Along with this sentence, there was a big kneel below. Since most people were kneeling, they had to kneel before they were mixed. Otherwise, they would all kneel. Do n’t you kneel?

Xue Tingyan also knelt down.

“You panic? Where do you panic? Let me see, you are all laughing in your heart now! You group of insatiable beetles, the court raised you, and raised your family members, only because of the change of preferential exemptions, It’s the court’s fault now? It’s even a trouble to take the exam with me. Since I don’t want to take the exam, I won’t do it, and I don’t believe it … “

Emperor Jiacheng, who was in a rage, suddenly looked flush, and the people shook, and they fell back under the eyes. It was Zheng Ancheng who was quick-witted and paddled under his body.

“Go and ask a doctor!”

For a time, the people in the temple turned back.

In the Qing Palace, the eunuchs and court ladies entered and exited.

Groups of people passed by in front of them, but no one dared to stand on the kneeling ministers.

If Emperor Jiacheng had a case today, none of them could run away, and he could not atone for his sins by going home and wiping his neck.

Fortunately, Tai Chi came out and said, “Your Majesty is not a big deal. It’s just that the old man is guilty of it. Just take a break.”

Emperor Jiacheng had vertigo, which was caused by excessive liver and fire. It was not serious. He only needed to calm down, so not only the minister knew it, but the doctors were already accustomed to it.

Since then, this group of officials, who had been soaked in cold sweat for a long time, stood up one by one.

Seeing it, it is a pity that Emperor Jiacheng was too lazy to see them, so they retreated, leaving Xue Tingyan alone.

Xue Tingyan entered the rear palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

The bright yellow curtains in the temple were drooping, and they were all magnificent everywhere, and a kind of majestic air spread invisible.

When he came to the dragon bed, Emperor Jiacheng was lying on the couch halfway. He stood tall and did not anger himself on weekdays. He was buried under the bedding and his dragon robe faded away. Looking at the white spots on its temples, it looks a little bit more fragile and vicissitudes.

In the end it is a normal person, not a fairy.

“His Majesty.”

“Jiangnan chaos is not allowed, it is up to you to handle this matter. I will let you give you a decree. You will take the Jinyiwei people to the next trip to Jiangnan.”

“Yes.”

“This matter must be dealt with, I believe you can handle it well, and if necessary, you can use iron-blooded means.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the minister must live up to expectations.”

Emperor Jiacheng nodded and said tiredly: “Go on, I will wait for you to return from Jiangnan.”

“Farewell to your majesty.”

After Xue Tingyan left, Zheng Ancheng came to Jiacheng Emperor.

Emperor Jiacheng’s eyes did not open, and said: “I will remember this matter for you first.

Where he couldn’t see, Zheng Ancheng’s old face twitched, and he knelt down for a long time and said, “Old slave gratitude.”

Since it was Emperor Jiacheng’s speech, no one ignored it.

Said it is ten whips, there are quite a few whips.

Moreover, Zheng Ancheng knew that this was for people to see. The eunuchs below dared not execute the sentence. He forced him to beat him ten times.

It is a pity that he miscalculated his age. After ten lashes were over, Zheng Ancheng’s clothes were all sweaty.

The **** below said to find him a step, he didn’t dare to sit, so he was helped to walk through most of the forbidden city. When I got to the place where I lived, I was so busy that I asked the doctor to treat me. During the period of pain, I didn’t need to elaborate.

After finishing the medicine, Zheng Ancheng planned to sleep for a while, and another **** came to him: “The three princes ordered people to send medicine to the ancestors.”

Zheng Ancheng frowned slightly, and the people accepted the medicine.

On the other side, Xue Tingyan got home after he got the imperial edict.

Zhaoer was full of surprises. After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, he worriedly packed his luggage.

She wanted to go with her, but Honger was still in the tribute house in such a big house, she could only ask Qian Dingwan to send him out of the house.

Outside the door, Jin Yiwei’s people are waiting.

He is still an old acquaintance, but now Wei Yunjie has risen by thousands of households. When he left Beijing, there was an old acquaintance waiting. It was Xie Tingyan and Wei Yunjie who were together in the Guangji Cang in the Baihu Yingtai, a household in Beijing.

However, this guy has also been promoted to the ranks.

Emperor Jiacheng was considered complete this time, probably because Xue Tingwan went to the local area, and officials and officials took care of each other, so he deliberately brought troops in.

A thousand people knew that it was only three thousand people who had gone to Henan for disaster relief.

On this road, the mountains and rivers flow through the canal directly to Suzhou, and the details of the road need not be detailed.

When he arrived, Xue Tingyan did not directly bring people into the city, but first took a few people to sneak into Suzhou City.

Despite repeated chaos in the city, the city of Suzhou is an important place in the south of the river, so there are no martial law on the streets.

Xue Tingyan is still familiar with Suzhou, and he went to Suzhou several times for Hongchang ticket. This time he took the person directly to the Hongchang ticket office, and was also thinking about the news.

Xiang Qingshan was very surprised to see Xue Tingyan, but he didn’t say anything. He first found a place to help them settle down. Then he asked why.

Over the years, Xiang Qingshan has also been convinced of the Tailong ticket. In addition, Xue Tingyan’s position on the coast of the East China Sea can not allow him to have a second heart.

In the final analysis, at first, he didn’t follow the right person, but the one who saved him was the enemy. Otherwise, his old life would have been lost long ago and the family was hurt. Based on these circumstances, he was naturally loyal to Tyrone ticket and even Xue Tingyan.

After listening to the cause of Xue Tingyan, Xiang Qingshan frowned.

He really knew something about this matter. Although he did the ticket, it had nothing to do with those weavers. They were all merchants and part of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, Xiang Qingshan’s status in the Chamber of Commerce is not low, but he did not get involved in this matter.

If weaving household riots were initially out of righteous indignation, and then attacked the tax office, someone really planned it secretly. This person is from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce. It’s also that Li Jinzhong is not a thing, causing people’s grievances, everyone can’t live a life, and naturally have to make trouble.

Naturally, local officials are indispensable. Otherwise, the government should come forward when the people were killed. Where could they wait until they attacked the tax office?

Now under the pressure of all parties, those who are arrested are kept in prison, but the treatment is not bad. Every day is delicious and delicious.

As for the scholar’s dismissal, Xiang Qingshan didn’t know what was inside, only knowing that someone was indeed taking the lead.

As for who it is, it is unknown.

In this regard, Xue Tingyan was not surprised.

If even the outsider Xiang Qingshan knew about it, the people behind could not keep his head. Now this matter has alarmed the court, no matter who it is, after the dust is settled, they can’t eat it and walk around.

In the next few days, Xue Tingyan took people to live in the place arranged by Xiang Qingshan. Every day he went out to investigate everywhere, and once disguised to see it in front of the Suzhou Gongyuan. The candidates who sat in demonstrations have been sitting together for more than ten years. The day is already exhausted, and at this time it can be sustained, all in one breath.

After another two days, Xue Tingyan went out of the city again and led the people into the city from the bright side.

Suzhou Zhifu Bu Yanli hurried to meet and greeted a group of people to the Suzhou government office. Not long after, Su Song, the governor of Wu Heren, hurried to him.

Xue Tingyan did not talk to the two of them, and went directly to Suzhou Gongyuan.

In front of the Suzhou Gongyuan, hundreds of candidates sat on the floor.

After such a long time, these readers have long forgotten what is humiliating, some are covered with clothes, some are directly covered with straw mats, and all are unkempt.

On the day of August, the autumn tiger is fierce. These people smell sour and rotten, and they can smell it far away.

It’s probably because they don’t feel smelly in the dunghill. These people are calm and exhausted, and their faces are haggard.

“Brother Fang, what do you think the court will do with us?” A candidate asked in a low voice.

The brother named Fang seemed to be a little irritable. He heard the words and immediately rebuked: “Can you not say this.”

The candidate was reprimanded and was very wronged: “I am, I am not a little afraid, if you say that it is the court …”

“I’m afraid you are here to do what? We are for the sake of righteousness, so-called killing oneself to be a benevolent person, taking the righteousness, and we are fighting for tens of thousands of scholars. Never mind. “

“But after all these days, the court did not move at all.”

“Don’t people in Beijing need time?”

“This, this is also true.”

There are many conversations like this.

The reason why these scholars will be impulsive, but only by virtue. When they really suffered and suffered, they had already regretted it in their hearts, but because their faces were all braced, they could not wait for the court people to hurry and they could go home.

Of course, there is more resentment in the heart. This resentment has squeezed to a critical point over time.

A sound of tidy footsteps suddenly sounded, but someone came to surround them.

Look again at the person’s dress, round neck armor, holding an embroidered spring knife. The headed person actually wore a flying fish suit, which is the famous Jin Yiwei.

“It’s Jin Yiwei!”

Probably, the readers are born with a sense of fear for Jinyiwei, and many of them are scared when they see these Jinyiwei.

Soon, these Jin Yiweis separated from the middle and walked out from behind a man wearing a scarlet python robe.

The man was about thirty or so, with a gentle look, decent manners and words, but without losing the taste of reverence. He walked quickly, as if tired between his eyebrows, as if he had been tired for many days, but could not get a rest.

He soon came to the people and looked around at these scholars, with painful eyes in his eyes, regrets, condemnations, and many other things.

“The official surname is Xue, the official is worshipping the second-class household assistant, and he is also the prince Shaofu of the Prince. He is also the host of this New Deal. When you have any dissatisfaction, you can talk to your heart’s content. The officer is here to listen. Hear how dissatisfied you are, the future pillars of Dachang, to the imperial court, so much that the scientific research is regarded as a children’s play, in front of Saint Kong, Blasphemy tribute. “

This is a bit too heavy. They killed these scholars, and they did not dare to disrespect Kong Sheng.

However, these scholars are not ordinary people who are illiterate, and they are not so easy to fool. Among them, there are many people who can speak well, and Xue Tingyan’s words just fell, and some people spoke refuted.

“Since adults are court officials, we are also aspiring people. The court has repeatedly said to the world’s scholars that the court will not lose their jobs, but now it is humiliating to treat me and others with the people! Adults wait for a statement to students. “

“Brother Xu said so much.”

The person who spoke was a little more than twenty scholars of Wenxiu, and Gu Pan was quite arrogant. It was one of the candidates who took the exam this time, named Xu Kepu.

“What is Sven, and what makes Jean and others feel insulting, does the reduction of the exempted Ding tax, let Jean and others feel that they are insulting? The reason why Naer and others read the sage book is to understand the truth and to cultivate a family. , Or read it for the benefit. “Xue Tingyan smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness.

Xu Kepu still wanted to answer the call, but was caught by someone beside him.

The man who held him was a forty-year-old man with thin cheeks but a steady manner.

He bowed his hand respectfully to Xue Tingyan and said, “Adult is an official, and the official character has two mouths. The students are ashamed of themselves. But I am waiting for the thousands of scholars who come from all over the world. Know the people and understand the people ’s will, do n’t let the world ’s scholars feel cold. “

I have to say that this person is much more able to speak than that of Xu Kepu, and no one dares to ignore this person when he holds the world’s scholar as a big hat. Anyone who says a word wrong is enough for the readers of the world to scold.

In fact, Xue Tingyan can have a lot of words to return. He even has confidence that the words alone can make this person ashamed to see others, hoping to jump to the end of the Suzhou River.

But he could not say, nor could he.

It seems that Suzhou is just one place, but in fact, everyone is staring here. Among them, there are indisputable generations of people who can help, and even many people are waiting for this to do things. , He came to nothing on this trip.

It seems that the person’s cold words touched the hearts of many scholars. Some scholars cried below: “Adults are officials, they eat monarchs and can’t appreciate the people’s feelings. Although the students, etc. are students, they have been exempted from 80 mu The tax can still make ends meet. This time the reduction of the exemption is actually less than ten acres. The tax on the ten acres of land is less than two stones. May I ask whether the reduction of these two stones can support a family? “

“Students and other pens, ink, paper, ink, and papers that are consumed daily need to be purchased. Students and other hard-earned books of sages can’t be carried on their shoulders, and life can’t be continued …”

With that said, these scholars cried underneath, with a cry, which made people feel sad.

At this time, a Jin Yiwei came to Xue Tingyan and whispered: “Master, people have arrived.”

Xue Tingyan glanced at the following people and said, “Lead people over.”

Soon, Jin Yiwei’s people led some farmers.

At first glance, these farmers worked in the field all year round, with dark and rough skin, gullies on their faces, and short brown wearing coarse cloth.

Especially those hands, with thick knuckles, dry fingers, and dark black nails. This is a trace of years of planing food on the land, and there is no way to wash it.

“You say that your instincts are eloquent, and you eat the salaries of the emperor and speak for the court. In that case, listen to what these old men say.”

There are about ten farmers in this group who have never seen the world, and it is a little cramped in such a public environment.

At this time, an old man in his fifties walked out, his waist was a little camel, and the deep folds on his face were all traces of the vicissitudes of time.

He was born a bitter face. It is said that the mind is born from the heart. In fact, this statement makes sense. Because of the hardship of life all the time, I always worry about it. The folds on the face are the appearance of a bitter appearance.

But today’s bitterness, but with a peaceful smile, looks very strange, but makes people feel a sense of fate and safety.

“I’m not from Jiangnan, but from Kaifeng, Henan. Although they all carry a south, Henan and Jiangnan are different. I haven’t been outside Kaifeng in my hometown, and I have heard people say that Jiangnan is rich and really come. Here, we have opened our eyes. “

It is probably standing by yourself. These young people are sitting on the floor. The old man seems to feel a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he sat across from the group of scholars.

After sitting down, he took out the dry tobacco bag from his waist, stuffed the shredded tobacco in the pot, lit it, and then smoked dry tobacco.

The shredded tobacco is of inferior quality, and the smell is choking, but it resists the smell of sour and sour smell nearby.

“The reason why we will come to Jiangnan this time is thanks to the blessing of Master Xue. Master Zhang said that some scholars think that the imperial court’s implementation of the New Deal is wrong. Now that it is in Jiangnan, Master Xue takes you all alone. No way, you were besieged by siege. Master Xue is a good official. When he went to Henan for disaster relief, how many corrupt officials were beaten, and he implemented the New Deal, which did a lot of good things for our people.

“Like last year, after we paid taxes, we left a lot of food. We cut a few pounds of meat at home and made a new jacket for my little grandchildren during the New Year. This is the benefit of the New Deal. Everyone It is said that there are so many people in the school, you are making troubles, maybe this new policy will not be able to make it, this is not possible, so our group of people are volunteering to come. “

“Yes, we all volunteered, and we can’t let you guys study bad things.” These farmers said eloquently.

“Everyone says that the lads who read books will be reasonable. We are here to reason with you. Although we are rural people, we cannot reason, but we can speak slowly, and we always speak clearly. One day. Obviously it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. How can it become a bad thing in your school of reading, and I ca n’t understand the old man. “

A man next to him interjected: “Tian Bo, let me say that these reading books are too much of a good day, toss out, and rest in our place for two days, and they are guaranteed to be safe.”

“Who does n’t know that the elders who are studying have been moisturizing all the time, eating big meat at home, we want to eat big meat, and we have to save the days for the whole family to tighten their belts.”,

With that said, another farmer stood tired and sat down beside Tian Bo. People who don’t know think that this is a sacred place in the countryside, not the Suzhou Gongyuan.

Seeing one sitting down, a dozen or so farmers sat down, posing in the countryside.

Unlike those who study, they sit on the floor and need to shop for something. These crops are really sitting on the floor. Some people feel that they are sitting on the ground, but they take off their shoes and sit under the butt.

The big foot was exposed, and no foot socks were worn. Looking at that foot again, it was black and dirty, and the wounds on it were covered with wounds all year round.

These people, even in front of them, are an insult to these scholars, all of them are covering their noses in anger, as if these people are smelly than they are.

“Hey, they think we are stinky, it seems that they are more stinky than us.”

To put it this way, these scholars were instantly flushed with rage and anger.

One of them stood up and said angrily: “Master Xue, you don’t need to find these people to insult us, you are the ones you found, who knows if you are instructed!”

“Do you mean that this officer deliberately bought someone to lie to you ?!”

Xue Tingyan stared at this person closely, and when this person could not bear the pressure, his forehead was cold and sweating, he suddenly smiled and said, “Well, then you wait, wait, not only the people of Henan, but also There are people in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places, but the distance is near and far, and they ca n’t come so fast. For those of you who read the book of the sage, the official does not need to deceive. “

He said, looking around the crowd, he said: “The official accepts the supervision of the people of the world. If these people are forced and intimidated by the official, the official resigns to thank the people of the world. In addition, the New Deal has been implemented in many places in the southern area This official has made people widely advertised, and those who are willing to come can come to argue with these scholars.

“In the past, there was Lu Zuqian’s meeting of the Goose Lake, on the way of ethics and psychology, and now I have Xue Tingyan to hold a meeting of the Suzhou Gongyuan. Give it? You can come here regardless of your identity. I’m going to meet someone Xue! “
