Chapter 94

Zhu Yijun was particularly surprised by Queen Mother Li, who was admitting her mistake and trying to make up for it.

According to the system design of Ming Dynasty, according to Confucian etiquette and filial piety, the most honorable person in Ming Dynasty is the emperor, but right now Emperor Youchong and Empress Dowager Li live in Qianqing Palace to act as imperial power, Empress Dowager Li is the most honorable person in the world.

In the position of Empress Dowager Li, with such power, admitting his mistakes, and actively correcting his mistakes, this approach, in Zhu Yijun's view, is rare and valuable.

Who has no fault?It can be changed after passing it, and it is very good.

In the pre-Qin period, Duke Ling of Jin had no right to be a king, and killed the masses indiscriminately. Shi Ji came forward to admonish him.

Shi Ji happily said to Jin Linggong: "Who has no fault?"There is nothing good that can be improved after passing by.

As a result, Duke Ling of Jin intensified his efforts, and eventually caused people to die and be killed.

Jin Linggong's kind words are good, he is obsessed with his obsession, and he does not correct his mistakes.

"What's the matter?" Empress Dowager Li looked at the little emperor's surprised eyes and asked a little strangely.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "It's nothing to be ashamed of my mother. I'm just a woman who doesn't understand the general idea. My son is getting more and more sensible, and everything will be fine. The group that the emperor scolded all day in the Huangji Palace The courtiers who only know how to chatter, who only know high-spirited talk, but who are not firm, scold well, and scold well to relieve their anger!"

"My mother also wanted to understand after experiencing this incident. The more sensible the emperor's son, the more the emperor's prestige will be displayed. It is not about taking money from the outer court to show the imperial prestige."

Empress Dowager Li is also in state affairs, making progress little by little, which is a good thing.

Empress Dowager Li knew that she had forced the court to give her father a sum of money to repair the house, causing trouble, and was willing to change her order. It was very difficult for Empress Dowager Li, who was at the pinnacle of power in the world, to do this.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not have very high requirements for Queen Mother Li. It is enough for Queen Mother Li to take care of the little emperor. It is not required that Queen Mother Li can be as virtuous as Queen Ma, but that Queen Mother Li will not cause trouble.

The empresses and empress dowagers of the Ming Dynasty came from ordinary backgrounds after Yongle, and they did not have strong relatives to support them. In fact, they could do very little.

Zhang Juzheng has been thinking about the public and private of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty has asked about the clear definition of public and private, and he always asks, Mr. Yuanfu, do you understand?
Zhang Juzheng is really scratching his head and wants to solve His Majesty's problem.

But this time the Empress Dowager Li asked the foreign court about money to repair the garden for her own father. Zhang Juzheng seriously understood the whole story of the matter, and had a deeper understanding of the definition of public and private.

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Juzheng will paste floating tickets on all the memorials, and then return home and write letters to the governors of various places, explaining the reasons why specific decrees cannot be implemented, the possible bad consequences, or that a certain decree should How to carry it out in detail, these letters are also part of Zhang Juzheng's daily life.

After finishing all this, Zhang Juzheng will study the darkroom in his spare time. He finds someone to grind out transparent glass, as well as crystals, gemstones, etc., and put them in the sun. As long as it is a prism, it can break down the sunlight into colorful , and then the seven colors belong to one color.

It's not that someone has cast a witchcraft, but the principle of infinity.

So far, Zhang Juzheng has no intention of objecting to the little emperor studying optics in the darkroom of the simple optical laboratory.

Playing, as long as it is not alchemy, the little emperor is not doing business, it is right to be a pastime.

Zhang Juzheng annotated some of the Four Books, and said with a smile to You Qi who came in from the outside: "What Hai Gangfeng said is right, Your Majesty is still working too hard. At the age of ten, he is so busy every day, which is not out of line. A small hobby is also a long-term strategy, if you are busy for a long time, people will slack off."

"Madam's relationship, I look up to you for a lifetime. You can take it in your arms and understand the words in a room; or because of the entrustment, you can let go of the waves. Although the taste is different, the calmness is different. When you are happy with what you meet, you will get it for a while. Be self-sufficient."

"People live for a lifetime, and they only live for a lifetime. Some like to communicate with friends about things that both of them care about, and some like to focus on things they like. Although they each have their own hobbies, quietness and restlessness are different, but when Isn't it a kind of happiness that they feel happy and satisfied with the things they touch?"

Hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, You Qi smiled. In the past six months, when his husband returned home, it was no longer gloomy, but a kind of excitement, an excitement with great ambitions.

The main reason is that the little emperor in the palace is finally willing to get serious.

In the past, Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor's teacher, had extremely strict constraints on the little emperor. It's not like You Qi didn't persuade him, but the little emperor never had any positive feedback from studying, and he always had an indifferent attitude towards state affairs. Now my husband actually thinks that the little emperor Not doing business, just a pastime in leisure time.

"There was news from the palace that Empress Dowager Li wanted to confiscate the four thousand silver that was given to Uncle Wu Qing, and then turn it into a reward." You Qi got the news from Xu Jue, and this round of relatives reached out to the palace to ask for money. Empress Dowager Li didn't ask the outer court to find a way to get the money together, saying that it was not an example, but to correct the previous mistakes, which surprised You Qi!
Power is such a thing, it is easy to fascinate people's hearts, knowing that there is something wrong, but still not correcting it.

"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng frowned, and then relaxed it.

He is very aware of Empress Dowager Li's temper, even if it is for the little emperor's authority, Empress Dowager Li will not admit her mistake, if even the empress dowager bows her head, the ministers outside the palace will bully orphans and widows even more.

Empress Dowager Li's acknowledgment of this mistake meant that Empress Dowager Li felt more at ease with the little emperor. Even if the empress dowager lost some dignity, it would not affect the little emperor, and the ministers of the outer court would not look down on the palace.

This is a transformation, a transformation that Zhang Juzheng hopes to see.

Of course he doesn't like to see a queen mother who is obsessed with power, it will be very, very detrimental to the little emperor, especially it will cause great obstacles to the little emperor's personal governance.

But Empress Dowager Li doesn't seem to be so persistent about power.

"It's easy." Zhang Juzheng picked up the binoculars with a smile on his face, and looked up at the starry sky. He was looking at the slightly reddish moon.

You Qi said in surprise, "Easy?"

"It's easy to handle. Since the palace realizes that something is wrong, it's very easy to handle. Your husband still has some skills. Can this still damage the majesty of the Queen Mother? It must be comprehensive." Zhang Juzheng replied with a relaxed expression.

For Zhang Juzheng, it was not too difficult. It was hard to get him. Before, he was helpless in educating the little emperor, and now he was also helpless in educating the little emperor.

It's just that the two situations are completely different.

The little emperor's innocence, pure whiteness and quality, the questions asked are still a bit sharp, Zhang Juzheng has to think for a long time every time, and he has to practice and combine practical experience to think clearly.

In the early morning of the next day, when the court was discussing, Zhang Juzheng did everything possible. The third child in Li Wei's family, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Li, fought with someone in Xishan because of the coal mine. Don't blame Uncle Wuqing's mansion, it was Uncle Chengshan's mansion who deliberately found fault in order to rob the kiln. The fight was not good, and it was good to be admonished. In the end, the court decided that Uncle Wuqing's mansion fined [-] silver, and Uncle Chengshan's mansion was fined [-] silver.

There was a newcomer in Wuqingbo's mansion, and Empress Dowager Li, as an aunt, gave four thousand silver. As for the memorials of those relatives asking for silver, they were all marked back with crosses.

The matter came to an end, and after a circle, the matter had some room for advancement and retreat, and a not-so-good result was obtained, but no one asked for money for building the house anymore. After all, Queen Mother Li rewarded her family members, Not everyone has this relationship.

"It's not a common practice, it's just this one time, let's discuss it with the court." Zhu Yijun signed the seal, and also explained that this kind of reward is special, and the foreign court will not let the money be paid next time.

Empress Dowager Li's thoughts have entered a dead end. She either has to ask for the 4000 taels for her own father, or she is angry with the ministers of the outer court. However, Empress Dowager Li still refused, she kept her anger down and made everyone look ugly, but fortunately Zhang Juzheng ended up.

Everyone has decent.

Some people find that they have done too much, and if there is something wrong, they can correct themselves, but some people clearly know that what they have done is wrong, but they just don't correct it.

Such as Xu Jie.

It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, but mercy can't help you.

Yu Dayou said that Xu Jie was not reconciled, and Zhang Juzheng was worried that Xu Jie would make trouble, so he took a ruthless hand, but Hai Rui knew clearly that Xu Jie would continue to make trouble.

At this time, in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Nanya, in Xu Jie's ancestral house, Xu Jie, who was used to living in the big villa in Jinzeyuan, returned to the slightly cramped ancestral house. He was angry and anxious, so he planned to think of a way. 23 mu of fields!
The Grand Master Building in Jinze Garden was his lifetime achievement, but now it was taken away for no reason.

It's simply disgusting.

"Father, you can't go!" Xu Fan knelt on the ground, pulling Xu Jie's leg, with a particularly sad voice.

Xu Jie was going to participate in a poetry meeting of a fellow villager. He said it was a poetry meeting. Xu Fan had already inquired clearly. The encroachment of 700 million mu must be returned. This time, it is not about the life of Xu Jie alone, but also the lives of wealthy households in the Fourteenth Mansion of Nanya!
The person who presided over the return of [-] hectares of land in the Fourteenth Mansion of Nanya was Zhang Juzheng's direct descendant, Song Yangshan, the governor of Yingtian.

Xu Jie is going to participate in this rally, that is to put the whole family of Xu's family on the fire rack to roast!This time, there were more than 70 members of their old Xu's family, and if they were able to behead the whole family for public display, they would be able to say that the Holy One is kind.

"Let go!" Xu Jie wanted to leave, but Xu Fan refused to let him go.

Xu Fan was young and vigorous, knelt on the ground and hugged Xu Jie's leg, but refused to let Xu Jie go out, and said loudly: "Father, father, they are not discussing countermeasures, they are clearly plotting rebellion! Right now, the Lord Shaoguo is suspected, Your Majesty Youchong , if we fight against the imperial court, there may be a catastrophe! Father, you can't go!"

Xu Jie said sharply, "Relax! If you don't, be careful that I break your leg!"

"I won't let go! Even if you beat me to death, I won't let go!" Xu Fan said indifferently, and beat him to death if he had the ability!Waiting to die, preventing his father from committing suicide, he can still live.

Xu Jie raised his crutches, held them up high, and finally did not fall, and said decadently: "Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't go? Let go."

The son's begging finally softened Xu Jie's hard-hearted heart.

Xu Fan helped Xu Jie to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Xu Jie, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Father, the son never complains about his father's faults, and the unfilial son prevents his father from going out, but this time, our old Xu family , it’s really over.”

"In the 41st year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan was sentenced to exile. Not only did Yan Shifan not go to the border where he was exiled, but he also returned to his original place of sensuality. He was heard by the censor and was beheaded in public in the 44th year of Jiajing."

"Father, there is an order from the imperial court to return the fields to us and give us back the face. If we don't hold onto this last share of face, I'm afraid there will be nothing left."

"Father!"

Xu Jie tapped Xu Fan's shoulder with his crutch and said, "Get up and talk."

"Ugh."

Xu Jie sighed heavily, with resignation in his eyes, he held the crutches in both hands and said, "Son, my greatest skill in Xu Jie's life is to be able to bear it. I have endured it in court for more than 20 years. Little by little layout, little by little lobbying, little by little to make Yan Song a treacherous official in Shimiao's heart, after more than 20 years, the time finally came."

Xu Fan stood up and said tentatively in a low voice: "Father, it wasn't Yan Shifan who asked for bribes from Prince Yu's Mansion, and the master of the temple found out, Yan Dang would not be able to fall."

"No matter how you look at it, they look like Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son, who committed their own crimes and cannot live."

"You! Nizi! Kneel down!" Xu Jie felt furious when he heard this, how did he give birth to this son!
Reminiscing about the past and reminiscing about his own achievements, this rebellious son always interrupts and negates his achievements!
"Father, the collapse of the Yan Party is not entirely due to my father's credit. I have to thank Yan Shifan for his cooperation. This is a fact. Father, the past is over. Father, he is not as powerful as I thought." Xu Fan did not Kneeling down, his tone was extraordinarily serious, and what he said was a bit more serious. He was already in the court at that time, and Men Qing'er was right about these things.

He had to break the image of himself being invincible in his father's heart, otherwise Xu Jie would definitely lead the Xu family all the way to the eighteenth floor of hell.

Xu Jie is no longer in charge of the country, and the power is no longer in his hands. One thing, when Xu Jie was in charge of the country, the money that Yan Shifan and Yan Song were investigated for corruption has not been returned to the court.

Emperor Jiajing asked Xu Jie about Yan Song's family property that Xu Jie confiscated, and Xu Jie said that all the money went to the border. Where did the money go?If the court pursues it further, can Xu Jie really stand up to the court's interrogation?
Especially, now the little emperor is completely bewitched by Zhang Juzheng!

Xu Jie was furious, his son scolded him with Yan Song and his son, and he was the son who committed evil himself!

The son is his own son, his eldest son, Xu Jie really can't kill this rebellious son, Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "Do you know why I am anxious? I am 67 now, Zhang Juzheng is 48 years old, I can't survive him, If I can survive Yan Song, can I survive Zhang Juzheng?"

"I'm the best at forbearance in my life. I'm anxious now. Isn't it because of you?"

Xu Fan was silent for a while, and did not refute. Xu Jie was indeed for this family, ten thousand acres of fertile land, which was completely enough for their family to live on, but children and grandchildren, grandchildren and grandchildren, are endless. Will it be enough by then?
"I'm not that good, and neither is Zhang Juzheng! It's not that easy to govern the country. I have governed the country before. Governing the country is not empty talk, let alone a lot of empty words and clichés. "

"If it's easy to cure, I'll cure it! Is it his turn?"

Xu Jie talked about governing the country again. From his point of view, Zhang Juzheng was aiming for a grand structure. The faster he moves, the faster he dies.

When Xu Fan heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Father, who is talking in the air and not practicing in the flesh?"

"If it is said that Zhang Juzheng didn't practice his behavior in a superficial way, and blindly boasted, he would have collapsed by now. Taking our Xu family as an example, if he hadn't practiced it and knew our methods, he would have taken advantage of it and put this matter on the table. Is it so neat? I'm afraid it won't work..."

"What's the situation now? Zhang Juzheng has laid a big net for us in the court, and is ready to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys at any time. We are the chickens! The monkeys will only be afraid of the blood splashed by killing the chickens, instead of revolting." .”

There are many such examples, such as dealing with Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei of the Jin Party, chasing and killing the Xinzheng Party, Zhang Juzheng slowly plotting it, such as the cleanup and occupation of Nanya, such as the examination of the law to break the big disadvantage of appeasement, these are the facts of Zhang Juzheng's practice .

"You also read his book on contradictions?!" Xu Jie felt that his son's words were not right when he heard his words.

Xu Jie studied under Nie Bao and was Wang Yangming's redisciple. Their family is all learning by heart. Zhang Juzheng's contradiction said that in Xu Jie's view, it is worthless, nonsense, and deviant nonsense.

But Xu Jie still read the contradiction word by word. After reading it, he became more and more sure that Zhang Juzheng was a heretic of Confucianism!

I don’t talk about each other, I confuse a gentleman with a villain, I don’t mention the difference, and I also regard Xu Jie as a negative model, put it in the contradiction and talk nonsense, it is simply tolerable and unbearable!
Xu Fan said with a strange expression: "It was written by His Majesty."

Contradiction said that since it was published in the world, a total of more than 4000 copies have been printed and sent to various places. After seeing that it was written by the emperor, officials from all over the place took the time to copy the book to major newspaper copying houses. Bookstores in various places began to sell a few copies. After the book, it was found that it was not very popular, so no one printed it.

Until a talented bookseller in Nanya published it under the name of "Emperor's Wenhua Palace Lectures", focusing on the lecture notes of the emperor's lectures for the emperor, the book became popular immediately!
The fire was in a mess, and the fire was out of control. All the bookstores in Nanya immediately began to publish engravings, and almost all the major bookstores had this contradictory theory.

The emperor is aloof and lives in the deepest place. He even uses a golden hoe to farm the land. What it is like to teach the emperor has aroused many people's curiosity, and a large part of this curiosity comes from the parents who hope their children will become a dragon.

The terrifying consumption potential of parents who hope their children will become a success is fully stimulated by the genius bookseller.

The manuscript of the lectures given by the first assistant emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the emperor is so precious, you must read it!
Among them, the engraved plates printed by Nanya Huangzhuang are of the highest quality and the most widely sold.

Because Nanya Huangzhuang has an advantage that other bookstores do not have, that is, poor information. Nanya Huangzhuang is doing this business of printing books, adding a little anecdote about the match, and immediately comparing other bookstores go down.

The talented bookseller who mainly gave lectures at the Emperor's Wenhua Palace was Feng Baoyi's son Zhang Jin who was sent to Nanya.

It was Zhang Jin who didn't move forward boldly in Yuegang, and lost Xu Jie in Songjiang Mansion to return to the field. Zhang Jin also got a job, that is, he went to Nanjing as a military eunuch.

There is no reason for eunuchs to sell books. It is contradictory that the emperor issued an order to publish the books of the world. The eunuchs dare not confiscate them, but if they dare to include anecdotes in the books that only the Huangzhuang version contradicts, the eunuchs will go crazy !

Randomly publish and interpret His Majesty's words and deeds, what do you want to do? !Want to rebel?
Nanya is also the place with the most scholars. Zhang Jin has made a lot of money selling books for a few months.

Xu Fan said to his father: "Father has also seen the contradiction, so he naturally knows that this book was not completely written by Zhang Juzheng alone, and it can be seen from the lines that His Majesty is sensible. , His Majesty broke the chaotic and affirmative cognition of Yuansuke and Dazai with the heart of a child, pure whiteness, and summed it up."

Innocent heart, pure white to quality, is the moral state most advocated by Confucianism. Human nature is good at the beginning, and the most simple and flawless nature is similar in nature and far in habit.

Xu Jie is a Jinshi, who is the leader in the book can be seen at a glance, and Zhang Juzheng, as the emperor's teacher, can answer those questions with a pure heart and a pure whiteness so perfectly, which in itself also proves that Zhang Juzheng's talent and learning.

"Yes, Zhang Juzheng is a great talent!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth and admitted Zhang Juzheng's academic achievements!

Xu Fan continued: "Father, a gentleman is divided by position. He who rules others is a gentleman, and he is distinguished by virtue. He is a gentleman with virtue. In fact, they all mean the same thing. He who can manage himself well is a gentleman, and he who can manage others well is also a gentleman. Obviously, Zhang Juzheng is a gentleman in terms of status and virtue!"

"You mean I'm a villain!" Xu Jie raised his crutches and slapped Xu Fan's body. It wasn't very heavy. A rank is a villain, a position and a virtue are all villains!

The point is that Xu Jie still can't refute!

Xu Jie kept frustrating his crutches, and said angrily: "What can he do if he is powerful! What can he do if he is a gentleman!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he is so devoted to the nobles and powerful men. If the wealthy gentlemen want to fight against Zhang Juzheng, what will Zhang Juzheng use to fight against the powerful men? The nobles and powerful men only need to make a move. For example, the tenants and the vagrants are in chaos together. , the imperial court will definitely hold him accountable, Zhang Juzheng is extremely capable, can he clean up this mess?"

"he can not!"

Xu Fan was silent for a moment and said: "Father, the child is not filial. Why does father think that Zhang Juzheng can't think of it when father thinks about it? He even said, is it possible that Zhang Juzheng is just waiting, waiting for us to make trouble?"

"Father, don't hit! Let the boy explain!"

Seeing that Xu Jie was about to hit again, Xu Fan rushed out, leaned on the top chair and said, "Father, let me start with a method of weaving. One method of weaving is to compile the talents and corvees of each prefecture, county and prefecture into one method. The land is collected according to the number of acres, and whoever owns the land will receive it."

"Why don't the gentry and powerful tyrants continue to peel off the price to make up for their own shortfalls, but let the court be so fishy and gentry?"

"Because the powerful and wealthy gentry know very well that they have been stripped to the extreme, to the point where they are exhausted for fishing, to the point where the fields are left uncultivated, and to the point where the tenants would rather manage a lowly business. The people can't take it anymore."

"Putting it out again, it really caused civil chaos. When the emperor will pursue Zhang Juzheng, I don't know, but those hungry people will definitely rush into our house and smash our heads with hoes! "

"Father!"

"I'm afraid Zhang Juzheng is waiting for civil unrest. Those people he can't kill, let the common people kill them!"

"Zhang Juzheng has done all kinds of bad things! Insidious and cunning, father, we are not opponents!"

Xu Jie widened his eyes, looked at Xu Fan in disbelief, and said sharply, "Don't look at contradictions anymore, let's see what you can see! It's nonsense."

Instead of restraining himself, Xu Fan said even more eagerly: "If we gentry are spears, then ordinary people are shields. We have almost exhausted the shield. If we really break the shield, we gentry will become shields. That little man is the sharpest spear in the world! He will tear everything to pieces and start all over again."

"Supporting Yin and embracing Yang, carrying Yang and embracing Yin, push Qi to think of harmony, Yin is Yang, Yang is Yin, spear is shield, shield is also spear, father, is a man of reason, the infinite principle of all things in the world, not Is it just a cycle like this?"

"Qin in the Han Dynasty, Tang succeeded Sui, Yuan destroyed Song, and Ming replaced Yuan. These are the great doubts aroused by contradictions, which cannot be adjusted, and the great doubts aroused by contradictions, which must be resolved and reconciled!"

Xu Fan grasped the contradiction and said that arguing with Xu Jie really confused Xu Jie. Zhang Juzheng came up with this contradiction and said that it is really a big joke in the world. Anything that seems to use this thing can be explained Same!
Zhang Juzheng even wants to overthrow the reincarnation of destiny and establish a new set of explanation methods.

"Zhang Juzheng, he deserves to die!" Xu Jie couldn't bear it any longer, stood up abruptly, unable to say anything, he could only walk towards the inner room.

Xu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, shook his sleeves, took out a book of contradictions, and said happily: "Mr. Zhang, you really saved my family's life."

It's not that this book contradicts, Xu Fan may not be able to convince his stubborn father today.

Xu Fan walked towards his yard, while Xu Jie poked his head out from behind the screen. Seeing Xu Fan leaving, he took a few servants and went to the poetry meeting.

Can Xu Fan stop him for a while, or for a lifetime?He Xu Jie is a father, he is going, how can Xu Fan stop him?Did you lock your father in the room with chains?
"My lord, just as my lord left, the master drove out in a palanquin and headed for the poetry meeting!" A servant ran in in a panic.

Xu Fan's eyes turned black when he heard it, so he didn't faint. The old father has already said this, so why is he so stubborn and wants to go?

Xu Fan immediately chased after him.

This poem will be assembled for one thing, saying that it is to recite poems against each other, and it is basically to discuss countermeasures.

As soon as Xu Jie arrived, everyone stood up immediately and expressed their welcome to Xu Jie. In fact, many people thought that Xu Jie would not come, because Zhang Juzheng had done his utmost to the Xu family. They were all given very well, if something happened to Xu Jie again, he would be more or less at a loss.

But Xu Jie still came to the poetry meeting, and the poetry meeting had a backbone.

"Grand Master Xu, you're here. If Grand Master is absent in today's game, it's like nothing. How can we do it?" Shen Changming saw Xu Jie's respectful salute.

"Sit down, sit down, everyone, I'm no longer an official, so you don't have to be cautious."

The Huating Shen family, also known as the Big Stone Shen family, is the home of poetry, books, rites and music. During the Yongle period, the ancestors of the Shen family, Shen Du and Shen Can, became Jinshi one after another. , Since then, it has become the designated style of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, Taige style, a kind of regular script, characterized by black, square, light marsh, etc., paying attention to a square and square, just like printing.

The Shen family has been an official for several generations, counting up to three generations.

Also participating in the poetry meeting is the Gu family from Kunshan. This is a luxurious household that has been passed down for thousands of years in Suzhou. Zhu, Zhang, and Lu are one of the four surnames in Jiangdong, with profound heritage.

Repeated generations of officials, such as Gu Ji, a Jinshi in the 12th year of Zhengde, a Jinshi in the Criminal Division, Gu Qin, a Jinshi in the 16th year of Zhengde, an official in Guangzhou, and Gu Zhangzhi, a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, now Nanjing Guanglu Temple Qing also serves as the governor of Yingtianfu.

And Gu Zhangzhi's son, Gu Shaofang, has already passed the Juren examination. After this poetry meeting, he will go to the capital to take the Jinshi examination.

The Xu family in Huating, the Shen family in Dashitou, and the Gu family in Kunshan are all relatives by marriage. Xu Jie married the girl of the Shen family, and Xu Jie's biological mother was from the Gu family in Kunshan, and Xu Jie's daughter married Gu Jiu of the Gu family. Tin, this is an extremely close, in-law relationship.

Looking around, most of the gentry came from such backgrounds. Their ancestors were officials, and now there are still people who are in the court. This combined force is a force that even the emperor would pay attention to. Looking at these gentry, pressing the heads of these people, making them return the fields they ate into their stomachs?
What is Zhang Juzheng, but he is from a military family whose legs have not been cleaned of mud, why should he fight with them!
What surprised Xu Jie was that at the poetry meeting, the most talked about was Yu Dayou's three-day succession of building eighteen strongholds, which was very impressive for a while;

No matter which topic, Xu Jie was not willing to hear it.

Shen Changming stood up, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "Everyone, let's talk about serious business. The imperial court has made up its mind to investigate the occupation, and they have listed the specific plots of occupation. Come out, [-] hectares, this is cutting our hearts, digging out our kidneys, and killing us!"

Gu Zhangzhi, the governor of Yingtian Mansion, had already passed on the exact news from the official office to Kunshan, and only then did this poetry meeting take place.

I have been discussing Yu Dayou's tough record and Zhang Juzheng's contradictions, saying that it is amazing, and it is really a bit overwhelming to others.

The gentry gathered here are well aware of the power of the imperial court, but they want to protect their own means of production. The [-] hectares of land are their life, the wealth passed down from generation to generation, how could they hand it over easily!
Zhang Juzheng wants to lose their property for nothing, they are not willing to agree so easily!
Shen Changming corrected the poor orientation of the poetry society to promote the power of the imperial court, and brought the matter back to the topic.

"Is there anything you can do?" Shen Changming asked.

Gu Shaofang, the son of Yin Tianfu Yin Gu Zhangzhi, said: "This matter is actually easy to handle. What is the most lacking in our Susong area?"

 As the saying goes, "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost, and compassion can't save you from death, bang! If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down. Thank you for the 19 point reward of "1500-year-old secondary disease", thank you for your support and recognition, please Monthly ticket, ouch!!!!
