I'm really not doing business

Chapter 272 I just bribed the fairy’s maid

Zhu Yijun had lost patience with the Confucian government. Last time, Shandong officials dismissed and demoted a group of officials because the Qingzhang passed the imperial examination. This time, the Yizhou Guards' desertion made the emperor completely disappointed with the Confucian government.

The Confucius Mansion could actually dispatch Shandong local guards to work on his own house, ditches, workshops, roads, fields, etc., and he would be fined if he failed to do so.

The Ming Dynasty's army has always been cautious in mobilizing, with civilian governors, military generals leading the troops, and eunuchs supervising the army. If the army moves without permission, if there are more than 50 people, it must be reported to the Ministry of War, if there are more than 100 people, it must be reported to the emperor, and if there are more than 500 people, the emperor must approve it.

One year, Ma Fang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, wanted to mobilize 120 five people to patrol the border. In order to avoid trouble and simplify the procedures, Ma Fang split the 150 people into fifty, fifty, and twenty-five, and dispatched them respectively, so that he did not have to report this matter to the Ministry of War. After his son was informed by Governor Xuanda, he impeached Ma Fang for dispatching troops without permission, and he should be executed for the crime according to the system.

If it were not for Gao Gong, Wang Chonggu, and Yang Bo as guarantees, Ma Fang would have been beheaded at that time.

Yizhou Guards has a total of 5600 soldiers. With the corruption of the military garrison system, these 600 soldiers still have a regulation of about 500 soldiers. In other words, the Confucius Mansion has been secretly deploying the Ming Dynasty soldiers for a long time since Xiaozong. There are more than 1000 guardsmen, and there is no need for emperor Zhu's approval. What an arrogance.

If the Kong Mansion just annexed some land, Zhu Yijun would not bother to worry about it. After all, there were many affairs in the country. Now Qi Jiguang was fighting in Daning Guard, the navy was invigorating, the southwest had to be on guard against Mang Yinglong's Toungu Army, and there was Anda Khan in the northwest. These matters were more important than the Confucius Mansion, and the emperor and courtiers focused their main energy on these places.

Fortunately, the Confucius family violated the little emperor's taboo, the army.

The emperor directly transferred Ling Yunyi to Shandong. The former governor of Shandong, Yang Shihua, was a traditional Confucian scholar. He promoted the Qing Dynasty in Shandong and avoided the untouchable topic of Confucius. After Ling Yunyi arrived, the situation in Shandong would be greatly improved. Improvement, because the emperor will give Ling Yunyi great power.

The government affairs of the Ming Dynasty were generally based on a subcontracting system, which means that the emperor handed over this errand to a certain local official, and you could do whatever you wanted. As long as you could do it well, the emperor would take care of all the big things for you.

"Da Sima." Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun.

"The minister is here."

"The war between Guangdong and Guangxi has calmed down a bit, Luo Pang is in peace, and the guest soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi have nowhere to settle. There are about [-] people. These guest soldiers will go to Shandong with Ling Yunyi, as well as the former Ling Yunyi's staff and others. Wait, we all go with him, what does Grand Sima think?" Zhu Yijun gave Ling Yunyi support, not just verbally, but real support to him, such as his staff and his guest soldiers.

The placement of guest soldiers in the Ming Dynasty has always been a headache for the court. In order to pacify the Yao people in Luopang Mountain, Ling Yunyi recruited [-] guest soldiers. These guest soldiers were responsible for the tough battles, and these guest soldiers killed many people. , letting the tiger go back to its relatives means letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Now Ling Yunyi no longer has a headache. The emperor's intention is to let the guest soldiers follow Ling Yunyi to Shandong and continue to do his own business, just killing people.

"Your Majesty, [-] people may not be enough." Tan Lun said with certainty: "We can't even gather an infantry camp. I think more than [-] people are more suitable. At least one infantry camp must be gathered to make it easier to command. "

The size of the 3000-person camp was the result of Qi Jiguang's long-term practice. If there were too many people, it would be a bit wasteful to defeat the Japanese pirates. If the number was too small, it would be useless. However, 3000 people, no more, no less, was just enough.

Judging from Tan Lun's intention, he directly treated the Kong family as Japanese pirates, and actually needed a base camp to prevent big troubles.

Tan Lun has always been the most radical courtier in the Ming Dynasty. This is related to his experience as an official. He has been fighting since he was a prefect. He has been fighting all his life. His mind is full of warrior thinking and he will resort to force when encountering problems. , and it often works.

A feudal imperial country is actually a typical military-first country, because in order to maintain his throne and achieve rule, the emperor must master violence. In a feudal imperial country, the greatest violence is the army.

The reason why Tan Lun's martial arts thinking is so effective is because of institutional issues.

"What do you think, Master Situ?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Household Affairs. This was the new cabinet elder.

The new cabinet list has finally been determined. Shen Shixing failed to join the cabinet and was replaced by Wang Guangguang. Shen Shixing, Ma Ziqiang, and Lu Tiaoyang were all Zhang Juzheng's loyal supporters. Shen Shixing wrote four memorials in succession and then became a saint. He expressed his attitude to the emperor.

It’s not that Shen Shixing doesn’t want to join the cabinet or be promoted, so why should he be an official?
Shen Shixing just believed that it was not the right time for him to join the cabinet.

If he joins the cabinet at Shen Shixing, the cabinet will all be Zhang Juzheng's disciples and former officials. If Mr. Ding You returns to the court after Mr. Ding You, he may be suspected of intimidating the emperor.

In the end, Wang Guoguang was replaced by Shen Shixing. The four cabinet members, the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant Wang Chonggu, the senior minister Wang Guangguang and Ma Ziqiang, all still concurrently led the ministry, but they were gradually preparing to hand over their power, such as the household affairs It was planned to be handed over to Zhang Xueyan, the former governor of Liaodong, while the affairs of the Ministry of Rites were returned to Wan Shihe, and the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel were still in charge of the chief assistant.

In this way, there are two Zhang parties and two Jin parties, which can be regarded as a partial balance.

Wang Guoguang was a traitor to the Jin Party, but he was not a member of the Zhang Party. He and Zhang Juzheng were close only because they had the same political views.

In this round of personnel changes, the DPRK and Central Committee are still dominated by the Zhang Party, with the Jin Party and the Zhejiang Party as the supplementary ones.

"Food and salary for 3000 people is not a problem." Wang Guoguang said very calmly.

Ming Dynasty is rich now and can afford to support it. Since it wants to solve the Shandong problem, it can't give nothing. Doesn't that mean Ling Yunyi should die?
After these guest soldiers captured the Liudu Confucius Mansion in Shandong, they also had a place to go. The Nagasaki Governor's Mansion was weak, so they just went there. The guest soldiers who were good at killing people could kill them casually after arriving in the Japanese country. No one would intercede for the Japanese country. After all, the North Korean government There are no ministers from Japan.

"Then it's settled." Zhu Yijun made the final decision. Ling Yunyi went to Shandong with three thousand guest soldiers and staff. This was equivalent to Ling Yunyi opening a government office in Shandong. This was actually taboo. Resigning Grind and kill the donkey, and the flying birds will exhaust all the good bows and hide them.

But fortunately, Ling Yunyi has nowhere to go. Ling Yunyi can go to the Japanese country and form a partner with the evil-hearted Xu Wei.

This Japanese country is really blessed to have Ling Yunyi and Xu Wei taking turns to serve them.

The Ministry of Rites reported some minor matters, mainly the simplification of various etiquette systems. This has been a long-term work of the Ministry of Rites. The emperor was very patient, but he was very tired of these smelly, long and useless ceremonies, so the Ministry of Rites simplified these etiquettes. All have been simplified to a certain extent.

For example, in the past, the issuance of imperial edicts was drafted by the cabinet. After the emperor issued the seal, it was sent to the cabinet. The cabinet was sent to the Sixth Section. After the sixth section inspected the matter again, it was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After final confirmation, it was sent to the Secretariat. The Huangmen was carried to the Meridian Gate, where a pole with a dragon head was used to lower the hanging basket. Officials from the Ministry of Rites carried it to the Ministry of Rites, who then copied it to Huitongguan Post and sent it to the whole country.

The current regulations have changed. After the eunuch of the Si Li Supervisor gets the emperor's imperial edict, he hands it to the eunuch who writes the pen, and the eunuch who holds the pen goes to the Sixth Section. Go directly to the Ministry of Rites, copy it to Huitongguanyi, and send it to the whole country.

The whole process has been greatly simplified, and the eunuchs who ran the errands worked hard, simplifying the communication process between the palace and outside the palace.

The simplification of these etiquette systems has effectively speeded up efficiency. In the past, an imperial edict had to be delayed for one to two days in the capital before being sent out from Huitongguanyi, but now it was sent out on the same day.

The general council of Huitongyi will send another copy of the imperial edict to the cabinet for inspection to prevent errors.

The Ministry of Industry expressed its congratulations. Shaanxi Governor Shi Maohua established the Lanzhou Woolen Factory in Lanzhou, Lintao Prefecture. Shi Maohua was the first woolen factory to be successfully imitated. The annual woolen output of the woolen factory was less than [-]% of that of the Yongding Woolen Factory. One, but enough for Lanzhou.

These days, Lanzhou is a prefecture and county, with a total of 5 households and less than [-] people. The Lanzhou Woolen Factory has [-] craftsmen in one official factory, which is enough, and Lanzhou has opened up all the raw material supply chains. , and even opened up the sales chain, sending it westward to Xining, which has higher terrain and is extremely cold in winter, or to Xi'an.

"It all depends on people." Zhu Yijun read the congratulatory form. The woolen factory made a lot of money, and there were many jealous people, but nothing could be done. Now Shi Maohua has proved that the official woolen factory can be built imitation, but it needs to be based on the Re-planning its scale, raw materials, sales and other perspectives tests a person's ability to implement it.

Obviously, Shi Maohua is a very capable person.

Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jixun, Xie Pengju, Song Yangshan, Pang Shangpeng, Wang Daokun, Zhang Xueyan, Shi Maohua and other local governors are all capable officials. Clearing the abbot and returning the land is an evil thing that ruins people's wealth in terms of taxes, but They're done.

But ten years after Wanli, the talents of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have suddenly withered away, and there was no longer anyone who could make the emperor feel at ease.

It's not that talents have withered, it's because after the abolition of the examination law, the talent selection system of the Ming Dynasty returned to the past and relied on human sophistication, instead of setting limits for examinations, passing names on straw lists, filling names in base books, and promotions were no longer based on If the exam is accurate, the talent will be hidden. Even if the emperor wants to find someone to serve, there is nothing he can do.

After all, people have to do things.

No matter what the reason was, Emperor Wanli launched a liquidation against Zhang Juzheng. Even if Zhang Juzheng really slept on the dragon bed at night, Emperor Wanli could liquidate Zhang Juzheng, just like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty who killed the entire Huo family after Huo Guang's death, just like King Huiwen of Qin It's like cutting Shang Yang's five horses into pieces.

As a political figure, the last thing Emperor Wanli should do was to abolish the New Deal. After the Examination Law was abolished, Emperor Wanli lost the most important hand of imperial power, the power to appoint and remove officials in the world.

Zhu Yijun rewarded Shi Maohua with a third-class merit medal, and accordingly Zhu Yijun also gave him a woolen cloak to show his holy family.

The Ministry of Rites reported on the compilation of the Ming Dynasty Code, and it was all corrected by Zhang Juzheng. Every time a volume was revised, one volume was released for printing. In Zhang Juzheng's plan, the Ming Code replaced the Ming Laws and the Emperor Ming Ancestors and became the Ming Dynasty. Programmatic and guiding documents.

The Ming Dynasty Huidian was compiled from the Ming Dynasty Ancestral Instructions, the Ming Dynasty Law, Hongzhi, and Jiajing years, the Ming Dynasty Law, the Punishment Regulations, and other legal provisions. Zhang Juzheng did not pioneer this, but carried on the past and opened up the future. This was not an act that violated the ancestral law. Because Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also made significant modifications and deletions to the Ming Code in the seventh, 22nd, and 30th years of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that there is no eternal law, there are only laws that conform to the trend of the world.

In an atmosphere where ministers were extremely nervous and going to court was like going through hell, after the completion of the construction of the Ming Dynasty Palace, the first court meeting came to an end smoothly.

Zhu Yijun sat up straight, looked at the court official and said, "Sir once told me something."

"In the 26th year of Jiajing, a 23-year-old gentleman was named on the gold medal list. At that time, he was very arrogant and felt that he was better than me. But when he got to the Hanlin Academy and became a scholar, he discovered that there were crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the Hanlin Academy of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, I never thought that I would become the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and that I would become the person who would influence the situation of the Ming Dynasty and even its rise and fall in the future."

"How many of the concubines from the Hanlin Academy at that time are still standing in the court today?"

"My husband told me that at that time, he did not think that he would be successful in the future. He just lived every day well, settled himself, and at night, asked himself whether he was wasting his time. That was all. It is still the case today. "

"I don't ask for more from you, but before going to bed every night, ask yourself whether your life is wasted. If not, then feel at ease; if it is wasted, don't waste it the next day."

Lu Tiaoyang led the ministers to salute respectfully and said in unison: "I will obey the Holy Instructions."

"Dismiss the court." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, stood up, and walked towards the back hall of Huangji Hall.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty." The ministers knelt down again to bid farewell to the Emperor.

When the ministers stood up one after another and discussed today's court meeting, Lu Tiaoyang was a little surprised that Wang Chonggu was still kneeling on the ground. Lu Tiaoyang gave him a gentle push, and Wang Chonggu fell to the ground crookedly, with both hands in his hands. He was lying on the ground with his feet swaying, his face was pale, and his breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow.

This scared everyone.

"Wang Cifu has fainted!" Someone shouted, and the entire Huangji Palace began to boil with noise.

When Zhu Yijun heard the exclamation, he stopped and sweated on his forehead. He hurriedly asked Feng Bao to ask the chief medical officer from Jieju Hospital and came to the Huangji Hall.

Tishuai tested Wang Chonggu's breathing, and Wan Shihe took his pulse. His expression was strange, because Wang Chonggu's pulse was very stable and there was no serious illness. Wan Shihe knew some medical skills.Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong rushed to the Huangji Hall without stopping as soon as they heard that Cifu fainted in the Huangji Hall.

The ministers had been evacuated, leaving only a few ministers in the cabinet. Zhu Yijun walked around anxiously in the Huangji Palace.

"Dad! Dad!" Wang Qian rushed in from the Huangji Palace. He was running disheveled and looked extremely anxious. He was about to break in, but was stopped by Tiqi. He could only shout loudly. Zhu Yijun waved his hand and asked Wang Qian to Come in.

After careful inspection by Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong, a result was obtained.

"Your Majesty, Wang Cifu, fell asleep..." After a detailed examination, Li Shizhen got the result that he fell asleep, not fainted.

Faced with this result, Zhu Yijun blinked and looked at Wang Qian. Wang Qian looked at the emperor with an embarrassed look and blinked at the emperor. Wang Qian himself didn't know how to explain this situation to the emperor.

Sleeping in the Huangji Palace, thanks to my father for being able to do it!
"How many days have you been awake for Cifu?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Qian with a frown. Wang Chonggu had never been an unruly person. Obviously, everything happened for a reason.

"I don't know." Wang Qian was silent for a moment and told the truth. He didn't know how long his father had not slept. He only knew that the construction of the palace had been completed recently, and his father had been busy dismantling the palace walls and final acceptance, because The construction period is very urgent, and Wang Chonggu has been keeping an eye on it personally.

Wang Qian is also busy with his own affairs and doesn't see his father for a day, so naturally he doesn't know much about it.

Zhu Yijun remembered that when he met Wang Chonggu the day before yesterday, Wang Chonggu's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were blue and white, and his eye bags and face were a little black. At that time, Zhu Yijun saw that Wang Chonggu was thinking quickly, so he didn't think much about it. It seemed that he hadn't slept much since then. .

"At least seven days." Feng Bao knew a little bit. He asked the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and found out.

The secretary is the secretariat of the Liubu Yamen. The chief secretary of the Liubu Yamen is the ninth grade. Each assistant, doctor, and chief officer has his own secretary. This kind of secretary is not popular. Generally, he works for the chief official. The master's staff is in charge.

"It's okay to squint for a moment and carry it back." Zhu Yijun took off his cloak, put it on Wang Chonggu, and signaled Wang Qian to take Tiqi, carry Wang Chonggu into the sedan, drive Wang Chonggu out, and let Wang Chonggu go home to sleep.

The ground in Huangji Hall was too cold.

When people are extremely nervous, they will secrete various hormones to suppress fatigue. The moment they let go of their worries, all the accumulated fatigue will come back. Therefore, when the emperor announced the dismissal of the dynasty, Wang Chonggu fell asleep on his knees. Ding Jian's finishing work was not easy at all, because it involved the emperor's safety, and many things had to be checked by Wang Chonggu himself.

For example, the Qianqing Palace that Zhu Yijun is going to. The Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is a place with ceramic pipe floor heating. Wang Chonggu needs to check it every day. If water leaks after the emperor moves in, Wang Chonggu will die. There are many such things, and he is also the one. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the palace's construction.

Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with the new palace. The new home doesn't even smell like paint. Everything is fine, but it doesn't feel like a home.

"Go back to Xiyuan." Zhu Yijun walked around the Qianqing Palace. He has lived here for a long time. All the furnishings are almost the same as before, and there is no sense of strangeness. But he still likes to be in Xiyuan, which can save him 20 years of walking. detour.

It's safe to live in Xiyuan.

People are living creatures. Wang Chonggu was so tired that he took a nap in the Huangji Palace. Feng Bao and Zhang Hong, the two tigers in the palace, also took a nap and relaxed. Zhu Yijun lived directly in Xiyuan, without making any detours, ensuring his own safety before talking about anything else.

Zhu Yijun's power as the emperor is unlimited, but he is also a living creature, and it is enough to destroy him in a physical sense.

The emperor implemented the New Deal, except for the vague reputation of future generations. In fact, there was no motivation to promote the New Deal, because it was gambling with meat eaters with his own life, and the results were often not so good. This was the case in the 20 years before and after Emperor Jiajing. 25 years for completely different reasons.

When Wang Chonggu woke up, it was already dusk the next day. The sleepy Wang Chonggu immediately felt hungry, the kind of hunger that scratched his heart and lungs. As soon as he saw the sky, he woke up immediately, which would delay the court meeting. Morning!
He sat up suddenly and saw his son Wang Qian eating meat.

"What kind of meat should you eat in the morning? You'll choke to death! You didn't even call me. It delayed the court meeting. Your Majesty will blame you. Go eat ribs underground!" Wang Chonggu hurriedly got dressed while getting dressed. While scolding his son, this unfilial son did not ask him to get up. His Majesty did not delay the court meeting, so how could he dare to delay it.

Wang Qian was still eating the meat in an orderly manner, and without explaining, he just watched Wang Chonggu pick up the wrong cloak and hurried out.

Not long after, Wang Chonggu came back again. Seeing that Wang Qian was so angry, he found that he had fallen asleep. It was dusk, not morning, and the time for the court meeting had long passed. His Majesty did not blame him, but instead It was a reward. When he saw the ivory yellow five-clawed golden dragon cloak, he also remembered that he couldn't remember anything after attending court yesterday.

"You know everything, but you didn't tell me?" Wang Chonggu screamed, furious.

"This is not about eating meat and occupying your mouth. Before I could say anything, dad went out. How can I say this?" Wang Qian explained very calmly. He ate and slept silently. Naturally, he couldn't speak while eating. But my father slapped me one slap at a time when he was a kid.

"Ah! Take my big ring sword!" Wang Chonggu felt that he had to kill Nizi with his own hands today. Anyway, he now has a grandson!

Wang Qian was not afraid. He motioned to the food on the table and said, "Why don't you eat when you are full? Dad, you haven't eaten in two days. If you don't eat, you will faint from hunger."

Wang Chonggu took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from getting dizzy, and then he said, "What you said makes sense. Eat first, and then I'll beat you when I'm full."

Wang Qian served Wang Chonggu's meal. In fact, usually the servants at home would do these things, but today it was Wang Qian who came in person. He had a solid experience yesterday. Wang Qian was scared to death.

As long as there is a chance, it is better for the family to sit at the same table and eat.

"Your Majesty said that the dragon cloak will be worn tomorrow. Dad, you are not young anymore. Don't work so hard. What happened to Great Sima Longqing in the fifth year? Wasn't it because Fang Fengshi lied about the captives? Great Sima worked hard for seven days and almost got himself involved? "Wang Qian served Wang Chonggu a meal and started nagging. Wang Chonggu occupied his mouth while eating the rice, but Wang Qian did not.

"It's a credit to His Majesty that he doesn't care about it. If His Majesty did care about it and charged him with misconduct, at this young age, the Ming Dynasty's second assistant would actually be dragged outside the Huangji Palace for a spanking. How embarrassing it would be to tell anyone. "Wang Qian continued to chatter.

Wang Chonggu couldn't hold it anymore. He pointed at the door and said loudly: "Get out! Get out of here!"

This traitor is so irritating. He is obviously so busy because of official duties. Even the emperor praises him for his loyalty to the emperor and the country. However, this traitor's words are hurtful and annoying!

"Then I can go. Originally, there was something going on at the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I wasn't sure, and I even said I would communicate with my father." Wang Qian left happily, throwing out bait as he walked.

"Come back! I have something to talk about." When Wang Chonggu heard that it was serious business, he put down his anger and started asking.

Wang Qian sat down immediately, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited until Wang Chonggu had finished his dinner before speaking.

People will lose their minds and go crazy when they are hungry. Things that they dare not do on weekdays will definitely be done when they are hungry. Common people usually fear the gentry as they fear tigers, but when they are hungry and anxious, they will also pry the gentry open. In the granary, you have to eat first and then talk about it, and all order is thrown away.

Wang Chonggu has not eaten for two days. He needs to replenish his strength first and then talk about things after the Qingming Festival is complete.

Wang Qian asked curiously: "Does father know Wang Shizhen?"

"We know each other." Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "He is on the same list as Zhang Juzheng. He was the leader of the literary world and the governor of Yunyang and was later demoted. I don't know the details. His father, Wang Yan, was an outstanding individual. It's a pity that he was tricked to death by Yan Song. ”

"What's up with him?"

"Is his family a maritime merchant?" Wang Qian continued to ask.

"He and Wang Xijue are from the Taicang Wang family, originating from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but they are not from the same family. Wang Xijue was only considered a clan member after he passed the exam, and Wang Shizhen was originally from the hairpin family, the big family. Since the Wang family in Taicang is near the sea, it would be strange not to engage in sea trade." Wang Chonggu knew the Wang family in Taicang very well.

It should be said that Wang Chonggu of Shanxi is also the Wang family of Taiyuan, but they no longer belong to the same family many years ago. This mainly depends on the closeness of the relationship.

"Wang Shizhen was demoted last time and went to Nanjing to be the minister of Dali Temple. As a result, the minister of Dali Temple did not have a stable job. He participated in the Nanjing "The Impeachment of Zhang Juzhengshu" demon book case and was deprived of all his salary by His Majesty."

"Wang Shizhen didn't participate much, he just made noise, so he just took his salary. It was not a big deal for Wang Shizhen, who had a banquet worth hundreds of gold, but it was a big deal to lose face. Wang Shizhen refused to accept it, so His Majesty directly ordered him to return home and obey. "Wang Qian briefly introduced Wang Shizhen's life after becoming the governor of Yunyang.

Governor Yunyang, Ling Yunyi, Wu Baipeng, Wang Daokun and others all sat in this position, but Wang Shizhen was the only one in this position who accomplished nothing and spent all day writing books.

That's all. When he arrived in Nanjing and became the Minister of Dali Temple, he was deprived of his salary again. If he was still unconvinced, he was dismissed again and returned to his hometown to serve.

"Why did the Metropolitan Procuratorate focus on him?" Wang Chonggu didn't think there was any problem after hearing this, and asked a little strangely.

Wang Qian solved the puzzle and said: "Wang Xijue has a daughter who is said to be a fairy who appears. She is very famous. She is named Tanyangzi and claims to be a Taoist. She is very popular in Nanya. The reason why the court pays attention to Wang Shizhen is because Wang Shizhen and Tan Yangzi hit it off immediately, and from then on they began to worship Taoism and practice cultivation. If they just worship Taoism, that would be fine, but they are not just worshiping Taoism."

"That's natural. Most of the Ming Dynasty's religions are like this. Who would do it without any profit?" Wang Chonggu said matter-of-factly.

Because temples and Taoist temples in the Ming Dynasty did not pay taxes, many gentry took refuge in these temples and Taoist temples, just like they took refuge in the palace, in order to avoid taxation by the court. This time, the Qing abbot, these deceitful The acres of land are the largest hidden fields except for encroachment.

Wang Chonggu didn't know whether Tan Yangzi had spiritual energy or not, but Wang Xijue was a great scholar, and it was a bit embarrassing for his daughter to be a ghost. If Confucius, who was silent and powerful, knew about it, he would probably kill Wang Xijue. He was expelled from Confucianism.

"Wang Xijue, Wang Shizhen, Wang Xijue's daughter Tanyangzi Wang Taozhen, a very prominent sect in Nanya, known as one hundred thousand disciples, what did the father have in mind?" Wang Qian connected several names and clues of the sect together.

"You mean, they are related to the Xishan attack and murder case?" Wang Chonggu thought about it. If they just made some money, why would the Metropolitan Procuratorate be watching them?What made Wang Chonggu's hair stand up was that this group of people was probably related to the Xishan attack and murder case.

Wang Qian nodded and said: "The number one disciple of Tanyangzi Wang Taozhen is called Su Jingsanren, and is also known as Gonggong in the sect."

The leader of the Xishan attack and murder case claimed to be Gonggong to the outside world. During the investigation of Da Ming Tiqi, that Gonggong was killed by His Majesty the Emperor. Is this Sujing Sanren’s nickname within the sect just a coincidence?
"Where did the news come from?" Wang Chonggu looked at his son. Tiqi had been searching for days, but there were no clues. On the contrary, Wang Qian got the clues. It was really strange.

"Our family is also a family of wealthy businessmen and gentry, so there is some information that the Tiqi people know without knowing it." Wang Qian said with great certainty: "I actually bribed the maid of Wang Taozhen, the son of Tanyang, to find out. I learned a lot of secrets, such as Sujing Sanren, who left in the first month of the year and didn’t return to Taicang until mid-October.”

Wang Qian is very rich, or in other words, the old Wang family is very rich. Their wealth mainly comes from the accounts of the official woolen factory, and Wang Chonggu has only Wang Qian as his son. Wang Qian can use all the human and material resources of the old Wang family, including Jin Party’s network.

Wang Qian is always able to buy some unexpected people and get some unexpected news, so he is also known as Wang Buying.
