People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Zhu Biao's original good mood disappeared instantly because of knowing this.

He and the emperor looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Lao Zhu's sadness was precisely because of Zhang Yi's prediction. According to Zhang Yi, Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu Dynasty lasted 31 years.

31 years, more than 70 years old.

Life is seventy years old, he is living enough.

Lao Zhu is not so hypocritical, he will not pursue the illusory longevity like other emperors.

A beggar, step by step to the position of emperor, and can live a long life, God is good enough for him.

However, as an emperor, having many sons and grandchildren, and eternal life, is what he cares more about.

However, according to the timeline given by Zhang Yi, in Hongwu 24 years, he will lose his eldest son, and in Hongwu 28 years, his second child will also suffer four disasters.

Even the third child couldn't survive him, so he went ahead of time before he died...

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man pain, and he has to go through it three times.

Thinking of this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart ached.

He very much hoped that these things were not true, but he also understood that since Zhang Yi said it, it meant he was sure.

Yang Xian, Zhang Yi, Chang Yuchun, too many people have endorsed Zhang Yi.

Since he can't make mistakes, he can only watch helplessly if things happen.

"My son has been wondering about one thing..."

Zhu Biao's voice interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking.

"The Jing Nan that Zhang Yi mentioned, the fourth child raised troops from the north and went all the way south...

At that time, the son thought, where are the other brothers?

If the third child and the second child are here, will they join forces with the fourth child, or will they stop him...

However, Erchen had never thought that the second and third child were gone at that time...

It turns out that my brothers are gone! "

"We must find out the cause of their death..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao and Chang Yuchun were finally resolved by Zhang Yi, which also proved the importance of Zhang Yi.

The second child and the third child, if they have the ability, I will definitely save them.

Just, what is their life like?

What did they die for.

"Zhang Yi has already hinted at the cause of the second child's death!"

Zhu Biao pointed to the words on the memorial and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The Society of Resentment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated these three words. As a monk, he naturally understood the meaning of this term.

"" = Could it be that the person who has a grievance with the second child will appear next year?
No, next year the second child will stay in the palace obediently for me and will not be allowed to go anywhere.

Disasters come from the north?

There are court ladies and eunuchs from the north in the palace, and I keep them away from the second child.

Also, what does it mean that people think they are happy and others think they are sad? "

The more Zhu Yuanzhang saw the fire, the more he would dare to force his son to suffer what he didn't like and seek death?

This matter, I must figure it out.

But no matter how Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang picked out the words, they skipped the matter of Zhu Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

The tacit understanding between the father and son is because of the three words "I can't ask for it".

As a prince, what else can I ask for?
It is nothing more than the position of great treasure.

The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man, and his brothers were all over the wall. Zhu Biao didn't need to look at the emperor, but he knew the pain in his heart.

He didn't say anything, he just pretended not to see the text.

"Father, my son feels that Zhang's younger brother's reminder will naturally be known when something comes up!
That kid accepted the instructions of Master Zhang, but he tried very hard to get back the position of celestial master..."

Zhu Biao's reassurance made Lao Zhu slightly relieved.

That boy Zhang Yi...

If it weren't for the fear that the kid would talk nonsense after they met, Lao Zhu would have wanted to question Zhang Yi with a knife.

"You brothers, it's good to get in touch with Zhang Yi! But tell the fourth brother not to say what he shouldn't say..."

Zhu Biao nodded when he heard the words. Since the father is not ready to recognize Zhang Yi, he should be more careful.

Zhu Di and the others had already returned to the palace, and he got up, ready to chat with his younger brothers.

After Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a book of memorials and looked at it by himself.

The memorial is Wang Guangyang's, and the content on it is only four words, Zhejiang civil uprising...

Distraught, Lao Zhu put the memorial aside, and lay on the dragon chair, staring at the three words.

"I can't ask for it! Is this throne really your dream?"

The emperor was sentimental for a while, but reluctantly picked up the memorabilia of the civil uprising, and gave instructions...

"Any restructuring is not easy!"

……

"Have you heard that the people of Eastern Zhejiang have changed!"

The next day, Fengtian Temple.

Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang walked slowly towards the main hall.

Hu Weiyong nodded when he heard the words, and said to Li Shanchang:

"Master Li, I have heard that it is said that this matter has caused a lot of trouble...

Liu Ji proposed to change the business tax. Doesn't this mean that businessmen will be taxed in disguise?
The merchants in eastern Zhejiang have extraordinary power!
Coupled with the public grievances accumulated under the Shanghai ban, it didn't explode all at once..."

When Hu Weiyong mentioned this matter, there was a sense of gloating in his tone.

This seemed to be a civil uprising, but in fact it was still an incident where wealthy households jumped up, mainly forcing the court to change its mind.

Strictly speaking, the business tax and Liu Bowen's tax law are not bad for the bottom.

But the so-called bottom never have their own voice, they will only become tools of others.

Whether it is in eastern Zhejiang or other places in the south of the Yangtze River,

In fact, Ming Dynasty did not have a so-called merchant registration. The household registrations of many merchants were themselves landlords, or they were included in other household registrations.

In other words, many landlords in eastern Zhejiang were themselves businessmen.

The reform of business tax will hurt their interests, so it's no wonder they don't jump back.

However, the emperor had just picked and killed Jiangnan, and these people could only make small troubles and stir up public grievances.

"The civil uprising can be big or small, it depends on how His Majesty characterizes it.
If it is defined as a rebellion, it is estimated that East Zhejiang will be washed in blood again.

If it is tolerated, it will depend on Wang Guangyang's handling methods if this trouble continues! "

Hu Weiyong cautiously asked Li Shanchang:
"Li Xiang, what position should we take on this matter?"

Li Shanchang asked:

"If it were you, what do you think you would do?"

"Support Your Majesty and wash Zhedong again?"

Hu Weiyong had a mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal. He wished Liu Bowen would die.

Li Shanchang stopped and stared at Hu Weiyong:
"No, on the contrary, we want to stand on the side of the people this time...

In other words, stand on the side of the squire in eastern Zhejiang! "

Hu Weiyong was stunned, what is Li Shanchang planning to do?
"Your Majesty's reforms are becoming more and more dangerous, don't you understand the reason why your lips are cold and your teeth are dead?
How to change the business tax is actually not important. In the land of Huaixi, business is not prosperous.

But what is the meaning behind this incident? "

Li Shanchang made Hu Weiyong speechless:

"Yes, it is His Majesty who cut off the gentry's profits and gave them to the people!"

Hu Weiyong was like being enlightened, and his whole body was invigorated.

"The greatest value of us people is to connect His Majesty with the common people.

It is impossible for the king to govern the world directly, we need to connect with the people, and the people also pass on the hearts of the people through us!
Kings, scholar-officials, and common people have coexisted in the same way since ancient times.

But His Majesty is different. His Majesty has been thinking about avoiding us people. This is not good news...

The longer His Majesty stretches out his hand, the less useful we will be!

The importance of this matter has surpassed factions and party struggles, and it is an issue we must pay attention to!
The civil uprising in eastern Zhejiang is actually the same now. If His Majesty is allowed to achieve what he wants, this method will appear in Suzhou and Hangzhou, in Fengyang, and anywhere in the world...

It may be a commercial tax or an agricultural tax,
It could be anything!
If His Majesty makes this opening because of factional disputes, none of us will have good fruit to eat!

So this time, we not only have to support the people, but also sit back and watch this matter become a big deal!
Only when the disturbance is big enough and the hearts of the people are turbulent, can His Majesty be wary!
However, no matter how troublesome it is, this matter cannot be classified as rebellion.

If it is a rebellion, it will lose its meaning! "

"Li Xiang is still brilliant, but Hu is not as good!"

Hu Weiyong said with emotion: "Fortunately, those people are ignorant. It is obviously a matter of profit for them, but they..."

Li Shanchang snorted coldly:
"So, the truth is, I don't like that old man from the Confucius family in Qufu, who promotes simplified characters, that's fooling around with His Majesty!

The so-called everyone is like a dragon, if everyone is like a dragon, the dragon is not as good as a worm!
What's the point of Jackie Chan?
If those common people were really literate, would the gentry in eastern Zhejiang be so easy to share with the common people?

Whether it is the Kong family or the Zhang family in Jiangxi, people from these two aristocratic families should just stay in their hometown with peace of mind.

Come out to add to the chaos, the picture is annoying! "

This is the first time Hu Weiyong heard Li Shanchang express his position, which shows his disgust for His Majesty's pilot project in Zhejiang.

When mentioning Longhushan, Hu Weiyong's old and new grudges arose.

Hu Weiyong felt the powerlessness of watching his son die at home was the most difficult obstacle for Hu Weiyong.

He remembered another small matter that he had handled, and said:

"Li Xiang, I have something to do, it should be related to Longhu Mountain..."

Li Shanchang turned his head and waited for Hu Weiyong to speak.

"Master Zhang told me that someone sued the Taoist Temple of Pure Heart, saying that the Taoist of Pure Heart Temple committed obscene things and took away people's property, so the case was handed over to him!

It's just that the case seems to involve this officer, so let him suppress it!

Say it to me. "

"What case?"

"That's how it is. A while ago, in the case of my family's Nizi beating someone to death, His Majesty ordered me and the Changfu to each pay 500 taels of silver to the sufferer!
The suffering master left behind orphans and widows, and the property should have been handed over to the Meng clan, but the orphans and widows had the support of Qingxin Temple, openly handed over the property to Zhang Yi, and lived in the Taoist temple!
People from the Meng family came to sue, saying that Li Shi, the widow of the suffering master, had an affair with people in the Taoist temple.

She was originally a wandering person, she collided with my son and others that day, she was the one who seduced people first,
Instead, her husband didn't know about it, so he became a scapegoat for nothing!

Now that her husband is dead, she takes the money left by her husband and plays with her adulterer every day, maybe the child in her womb is not the one who suffers..."

Hu Weiyong explained the case clearly, and Li Shanchang was annoyed and funny when he heard it.

For the 1000 taels of silver, this clan member of the Meng family didn't even want his face?
He looked at Hu Weiyong more, and his confidant was not without resentment in his heart.

Starting with the Meng clan, he wanted to take the opportunity to deal with Zhang Yi.

That little Taoist named Zhang Yi is a bit evil...

However, if it is borrowing a knife to kill someone, it seems to be fine.

"It's really unreasonable for a mother and daughter to live in a Taoist temple, this is feasible!
But it would be too much to say fornication, the child is only a child after all! "

"Li Xiang doesn't know, there is a stranger named Li Qingmo beside the child..."

"Okay, since you want to do it, go ahead and do it. I'll take care of the truth, but you have to understand one thing..."

Li Shanchang solemnly said to Hu Weiyong:

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone, the most important thing is not to involve yourself in it!

From a selfish point of view, the truth does not suggest that you risk yourself!
Even Yang Xian can't beat him, that kid is full of evil ways! "

Hu Weiyong said again:
"Actually, there is another small matter that may be used..."

"Say!"

"I heard that Zhang Yi and His Royal Highness the Four Emperors met in Chaotian Palace yesterday. When they first met Zhang Yi, His Highness showed great enthusiasm...

He blurted out for a while, saying that it was Zhang Yi who mentioned the matter of being admitted to the imperial examination! "

Li Shanchang was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a look of shock.

The matter of entering the imperial examination in mathematics caused quite a stir in the court at that time, and Xu Cunren was almost sprayed to death by all the officials because of this.

So far, although everyone has accepted the reform of the imperial examination system.

But there are still a large number of people who are cursing the few people who proposed to be admitted into the imperial examination.

If this matter gets out, Zhang Yi and Long Hushan behind him will also bear the same pressure as Xu Cunren did back then.

No, it was more pressure than Xu Cunren.

The imperial examination is the lifeblood of scholars, and any reform will affect the interests of a large number of people.

This incident was started by a little Taoist priest, and the political significance it brings is very serious, and it will lead to mutiny.

"you sure?"

"Confirmed, His Majesty asked Chang Yuchun to set up a school in Chaotian Palace to teach the children of heroes and several His Highnesses to practice military skills!

However, Chaotian Palace was not completely sealed off, and there were still people walking around.

When His Highness said this, there were other people present besides Jin Yiwei.

This is why I can know.

The lower officials thought that spreading the news in advance would arouse the indignation of all the officials, and then start with the Meng family's matter, causing the other party to die!
Even if this matter fails, it will not affect us!
If it succeeds, Xu Cunren can be implicated, and then Liu Bowen can be implicated..."

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong with eyes full of appreciation.

Zhongshu Zuocheng, whom I supported all the way, was right.

Although Hu Weiyong's attack this time was out of selfishness, his methods were much better than Yang Xian's.

If you can pick yourself out, no matter how you say it, you can't hurt yourself.

Coupled with the civil uprising in Zhejiang, Li Shanchang felt that this time he might really have a chance to drive Liu Ji out of the court.

"Then go do it!"

After calculating the benefits, neither the left nor the right will suffer, and Li Shanchang's mood improved.

Just at this time, the opening of the dynasty is approaching.

He patted Hu Weiyong on the shoulder:

"Let's go, let's [plead for the people] go..."

……

A few days later, Guozijian.

While Conne was in class, he heard a disturbing news.

Legend has it that Xu Cunren did not get into the imperial examination for mathematics, but a Taoist priest... (End of this chapter)
