Wanli Xinming

Chapter 114 Dimension Reduction
Just as Hai Rui expected, on March 26th in the third year of Wanli, Huating and Songjiang Mansion reported the civil uprising at the same time.A total of nearly 3000 hungry people in the two places were led by people with ulterior motives. The hungry people in Huating County first attacked the Changping warehouse, and then attacked the Xu Mansion to grab food; those in Fucheng attacked the treasury and government offices.

Because the prefecture, county, and military preparations had already made preparations, Wang Yixiu, Yang Ruiyun, Cai Guoxi and others immediately took action, and the civil uprising was immediately extinguished.The two losses were not big, only the gate of Xu Mansion was broken, and the loss was not small.Later, when officers and soldiers arrived, they arrested all the leading starving people and suppressed the bullets.

The main force of the democratic revolt was the large number of slaves fired by the Jiangnan clan on the grounds that the court reaffirmed the slavery order, mixed with some tenants who lost their livelihoods and did not want to leave their hometowns.Therefore, this civil upheaval is, to be precise, a slave upheaval. ——The history is called "Songjiang slave change." Since Zhu Yijun took power, this time the people changed the largest scale in the Jiangnan region.

As expected by Hai Rui, as soon as the people's rebellion reported to the capital, the urgent decree came down, and Hai Rui was really appointed as the commissioner of the "Governor Jiangnan Inspector Songjiang Civil Rebellion Project", and he gave the king's order flag. With great fanfare, he investigated the inside story of Songjiang slave change.

The content of the imperial decree was spread out, and all parts of Jiangnan saw that the emperor had no intention of admitting his mistake.At this time, I do not know where it came from, saying that the Xu family, Dong family, Zhuang family and some other people, because the emperor let them retire, deliberately incited the people to change to coerce the court - so the emperor sent Hai Qingtian to conduct a thorough investigation.

In less than half a month, the news spread everywhere. When everyone heard it, they still had such an inside story, but no one dared to do it. The southern part sympathized with the Xu family and scolded the court because of rumors. spread, resulting in a low temperature.

Hai Rui received the decree on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. Sure enough, it was as if he had swallowed a fly.However, after all, he was not someone who harmed the affairs of the state with selfish intentions, so he had no choice but to exert his expertise in handling cases, and began to seek the root cause.

Hai Rui was like a mirror in the mind of the two black hands of the civil uprising. One was the Jiangnan aristocratic family headed by the Xu family, and the other was Zhu Yijun, who was far away in the capital and lived in the country. The direction of the investigation could not be deviated at all.

Hai Rui actually wanted to find out what role the Jin Yiwei and the eunuch's mansion had played in the civil unrest, but these people were all slippery. The situation where people connected with each other before the uprising came to an end.

But when Hai Rui asked them why they didn't report it to Governor Yingtian or Songjiang House in time, the unanimous answer was that monitoring the movements of these big clans and officials was a routine job, but who would have thought that these people with wolf ambitions would actually force the people to change in order to coerce the court. ?Who would have thought of this?
Hai Ruixin said that the emperor fed me flies, you are feeding me shit!But he is by no means a person who does not know how to change things, and he does not have the slightest affection for these intertwined Jiangnan nobles.He didn't have any tangible evidence for the emperor's big black hand, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

By the end of April, Hai Rui had clarified the entire civil uprising case and formed a special report to send it to the capital urgently.

In addition to reporting the case in the memorial, Hai Rui also reminded the court: Jiangnan was at a time when there was a lot of public opinion. He expressed great sympathy for Xu Ge's hometown being hit by slavery, the old man and his family fled in embarrassment, and almost fell into the hands of thieves.

Hai Rui reported that the criticism of the court's reiteration of the slavery order and the crackdown on the wealthy families from the whole Jiangnan has been full of backlash.If the court can't handle it properly, there will be people's uprisings!

After Zhang Juzheng's performance, he was shocked when he saw that Hai Rui had made an iron case that the two sons of Xu Jie were connected with the Dong family, Zhuang family and other wealthy families before the civil uprising. Suspect.

Based on his understanding of Xu Jie, his teacher's slippery ability has been broken, and he has reached the realm of being transformed into a god.How could they leave such a big handle to Hai Rui?But Hai Rui's confession of Dong and Zhuang behind the memorial, together with the surveillance records provided by Jin Yiwei, made Zhang Juzheng have little sympathy for the Xu family.

But the old Xu family had to be rescued. If the emperor broke down the Xu family's door and ransacked the house, the political price paid by the court would be too great, and the damage to Zhang Juzheng's own authority would also be great.

There was no other way, Zhang Juzheng stopped posting pornography, and directly asked to see the emperor with Hai Rui's thick memorial.

Zhu Yijun met Zhang Juzheng in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall.When Zhang Juzheng saw him, he saw that there were some sandalwood boxes with locks on his desk, with intricate patterns engraved on them, and Zhu Yijun was reading the "Silver Badges" by the governors and imperial envoys from various places.

At this moment, the late spring sun shines on Zhu Yijun's face.Zhang Juzheng, who was standing behind him, suddenly found that the full cheeks on the emperor's face had disappeared. Sitting on the throne, he could see that his figure became more and more slender, and the Adam's apple began to appear under his chin.He couldn't help but sighed in his heart: "The emperor has begun to grow into an adult, but the old man has aged very well in the past two years."

Putting down his emotions, Zhang Juzheng presented Hai Rui's memorial to the emperor.Zhu Yijun opened it and asked, "This is also Hai Rui's memorial?" After speaking, he raised the unread ensemble in his hand and said, "This is also Hai Rui's memorial, because it's a silver medal ensemble, which is faster than the court. ."

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "This is also a critical minister. In the secret performance, Hai Ruiqing's family accused me of secretly practising deceitful tactics and using the Songjiang civil revolt to carry out major affairs. It is not a dignified and righteous way - this is unfounded, but it is Dare to say it."

When Zhang Juzheng heard the words, he thought that Hai Rui would never stop talking.After a second thought, my heart pounded again, and my back was suddenly covered in cold sweat.

It was not obvious on his face, but he firmly asked the emperor to read Hai Rui's memorial to the court first.After Zhu Yijun watched it, he asked with a smile, "What do you have to say, Mr.

Zhang Juzheng first coughed lightly, at this time it was not suitable to go through the official business process.Just put Xu Jie's efforts to keep the court's righteousness in the Jiajing Dynasty, to set things right, and to protect the previous emperor's success in ascending the throne. He also frankly stated his selfishness, and asked the emperor to give face and spare Xu. The house is full.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, then Fang said: "Well, I don't care about the Xu family. Even if the old gentleman doesn't talk about it, he won't do anything to his family. He always wants to leave some respect for the court. However, Hai Rui made a memorial. The Jiangnan public opinion mentioned later cannot be careless."

When Zhang Juzheng heard it, he thought to himself that if I didn't say it, it would be strange if you didn't kill me.The heads of people killed in the past two years have been rolling, and the emperor has never worried about the identity of the killed.As for decency?What it is?
Taking the opportunity to play, he said, "I think that if I take it slow, I will break the ice one day. If so many clans are raided all at once, I am really worried that the other squires will feel sad."

"After all, these gentry are the local hope. If they have a grudge against the imperial court, the resistance to governance in the future will be even greater. Please the emperor to investigate."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that made Zhang Juzheng feel empty and itchy.I saw the emperor pulled out a folded piece of paper from the drawer of the table and handed it to him: "I have prepared something for them, the old gentleman will take a look first."

Zhang Juzheng didn't know why, so he reached out and took it from Wei Chao.I saw that the soft paper in my hand was folded like a book, and the front and back were all printed in large and small fonts.

When Zhang Juzheng looked intently, on the first page of the front was written the name "Huangming Nanjing Daily", which was the inscription by Yubi and the overprint made by the bookshop.There are also some small characters such as the first issue number at the bottom. Zhang Juzheng didn't read it carefully. His eyes were directly caught by the huge italicized words on the first page: "Songjiang Civil Revolt, who is to blame?" Exclusive to this newspaper, revealing the secret for you !"

Zhang Juzheng's heart seemed to be caught by something, and his head pounded.He didn't know that the emperor secretly prepared such a thing, but from the title of the paper and the title of the first article, what is this?An announcement from the imperial court?

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Hai Rui is worried about Jiangnan's public opinion, and I am also deeply worried. I thought, instead of letting the Jiangnan people gossip, how could the court directly announce the truth and guide public opinion? I named this piece of paper 'Daily'. , published in the south first, once a day, the specific content will be read first.”

Zhang Juzheng felt that the air in the warm pavilion was so hot and humid today, even dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.He flipped through the newspaper mentioned by the emperor, and saw that the first page articles were arranged vertically on the right hand, and the chapters and sentences were half-text and half-blank, occupying most of the page; the layout of the subsequent articles was patchy, and punctuation was added between the words throughout the newspaper. Easy to read.

He read it at a glance, and saw that the content of the first article was similar to the content of Hai Rui's memorial, but the angle was more inclined towards the imperial court, and he discussed and lashed out against the few wealthy families who had caused the people's revolt by harassing the hungry.

The second article is actually a policy announcement of the imperial court's plan to overhaul water conservancy this year. In it, Zhu Yijun's plan to overhaul water conservancy in the whole country is touted as a virtuous policy that has never been seen in ancient times.

These two articles filled the first edition.

The content of the second edition is about news from all over the country, and covers all the new things happening in Jiangnan. Zhang Juzheng sees it as a public and private affair done by Jinyiwei in various territories.

There is an article that is a bit sloppy. It is actually the origin of a fragrant criminal case in Nanjing. Except for some words of persuasion at the beginning of the article, the whole article is about the facts of the case, all in vernacular, but it is like a small talk book. Generally ups and downs.

Zhang Juzheng turned it over and saw that there was an article in the third edition that the imperial court encouraged the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes. It introduced the cultivation and breeding methods of the two crops in detail, and made some attractive announcements about their yields. .Zhang Juzheng saw it and nodded secretly.

In the rest of the third edition, there are also some common sense of life such as boiling water and not getting sick.Zhang Juzheng was also inspired by some health-preserving prescriptions.

In the last edition, most of it was actually the most popular novel released by Qingliu Bookstore - "The General of the Yang Family", but the content was Yang Shilang's dialogue between Fanbang and the princess about Chinese ritual music. Through Yang Shilang's mouth, It promotes the significance of the right hair tie to the mutual recognition of the people of the country.

Crucially, the novel is written around the two boxes in the middle of the fourth edition.The box above is mostly empty, with the words "Advertising investment promotion, if you are interested, please contact our agency"; the second box reads "Qingyang Fragrance Dew, Top Luxury - Lingqing 'Wan Ru Qingyang' , turned out to be an advertisement for Sunrise Perfume.

After Zhang Juzheng finished reading it, he didn't know what to say.It was rare for Zhu Yijun to see Zhang Juzheng being so stunned by new things, and his psychological satisfaction was overwhelming.I thought to myself: "For these so-called 'Shilin', modern newspapers, is it a dimensionality reduction attack?"
