Chapter 290 Instigate the Citizens and Guard the New Deal

"The remnants of the Zhang Party control the government, and your factory guards are also willing to be their minions. What do you want us to do?!"

Tan Hongzhi yelled aggrievedly, and suddenly sobbed.

"You still understand. You know that whether it is His Majesty or the ruling ministers in the court, they still care about the people of the country, so they want to bully ordinary people; Kill them all, none of them can threaten the treacherous party!"

Wang Tingshu started talking to Tan Hongzhi, and then suddenly pointed a knife at Tan Hongzhi: "So, I and these people are not the minions of the treacherous party, they are defending the government!"

"take away!"

Then, Wang Tingshu put the knife into its sheath, and then rode away.

Zhu Yijun attached great importance to the construction of Jinyiwei, which greatly improved the ability of Jinyiwei.

Therefore, these radical scholars who do not hesitate to use extreme methods to achieve the purpose of canceling the exam are preparing to collude with soldiers and vagrants to commit thieves, so as to make everyone panic and dare not rush to the exam, and at the same time shake the government and the court. When they let the emperor know that the treacherous party's purpose was indeed unpopular, they had already targeted these people, and quickly arrested most of the radical scholars who did so.

In the Gyeonggi area, there was no large-scale robbery incident, but it was enough to shake the court, affect the travel of officials and people, and the traffic of merchants.

However, it is worth mentioning that during the Ming Dynasty, thieves incidents in the capital area were indeed rampant, and they were often seen in Ming Shilu and official chapters. Therefore, these radical scholars who opposed the New Deal thought of using this method to achieve their goals. political purpose.

But precisely because of this, Zhu Yijun and his ruling ministers also attached great importance to this matter.

Even, because they have reached an ideological agreement that they want to share the world with the Ming people, not just treat the scholar-bureaucrats as human beings, so they pay more attention to it, and clearly stipulate:

Jinyiwei, Patrol Battalion, and local bureaucrats responsible for arresting thieves will be severely punished if there are heavy casualties and loss of property of the people, and it is written into the examination system, and events are divided into levels, so that these responsible for maintaining law and order The bureaucrats in the country dare not take the safety of the people seriously, so they don't think that as long as the city is not lost and there is no large-scale rebellion by refugees, they can ignore any thieves.

While Jin Yiwei and others were arresting the troublemakers, Zhang Jing and Zeng Xingwu arranged for the implementation of Zhu Yijun's request to let the pro-military guards and the people know Wu Zhongxing's intention to abolish the New Deal.

"What you heard me read just now is Wu Zhongxing's article, which means that some of you who have read the book should understand it!"

"Don't worry if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you again in vernacular."

"In this article, he opposed His Majesty's establishment of the Xingming Academy to train you orphans, saying that once you are cultivated, you will definitely be sycophants, and you will cause trouble for the court, and you should not ask famous teachers to teach you, so that you can pay enough compensation money. enough."

"And those who are truly worthy of being disciples of the Son of Heaven should be the disciples of the gentry with moral education!"

"In addition, here is an article from his student Shen Tao, which puts it more bluntly, saying that you are all dilapidated military households. Back then, Taizu did a lot of inhumane things because he allocated fields to you and relied heavily on you. things; if the present day supports you again and relies on you, it will easily become a tyrant!"

"Even if the children of military households want to be named by Honglu and become civil servants, they cannot be trained by the emperor. They have to be like other children of civilian registration, first cultivate and study the heirloom!"

Zhang Jing handed over the matter to Sun Shizhong, the first batch of students of the original Xingming Academy who was born as an orphan, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

On this day, Sun Shizhong first gathered his orphans and family members of Jinyiwei, as well as the officers and soldiers of Jinyiwei who did not need to go out to patrol, and analyzed the articles written by Wu Zhongxing and others one by one.

"Damn it! Why can the children of their civil servants be allowed to enter the Imperial College and be trained by His Majesty; why can't the orphans of our generals who died in battle be trained by His Majesty?"

At this time, a irascible Jin Yiwei Qianhu raised the matter first and said something.

"That's right! It is because of the consideration of fairness and avoidance of luck that His Majesty made the orphans trained by Xingming Academy have to take the imperial examinations like other children of their native place if they want to take civil positions, otherwise they cannot be granted civil positions."

"Now it's still said that we will become sycophants. Could it be that their civil servants won't become sycophants just because they are the children of the gentry? I think there are many!"

"It is even more absurd to say that we will make His Majesty a tyrant!"

"Don't we just love bloodthirsty tyrants?"

"What's more, there are many literati who instigated the emperor to kill people in history!"

"They say this because they want to trample us military children under their feet! They want to downplay the merits of military officials who died in battle, but it is still their thought of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts that is causing trouble!"

At this time, Yi Jinyiwei, an orphan who was studying in Xingming Academy, also spoke at this time.

"That's reasonable! Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian also have big mouths, and they can talk nonsense! Why is it enough to pay a full amount of pension money? But in fact, before the Taishi came to power, after the death of Lu Taibao, the civil servants issued When will the pension money for the orphan of Jin Yiwei be enough to live off? It's not bad to have an achievement!"

Then, another Jinyiwei orphan who was already a Jinyiwei officer spoke up.

"Don't worry, everyone. Fortunately, the ministers in power are all former members of the Taishi, who are loyal to the country, so they have not objected to His Majesty's establishment of Xingming Academy, and like the Taishi, they attach importance to military equipment; it's just that Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian and others are so-called "under the heavens." The leaders of scholars are instigating scholars all over the world, calling them treacherous parties, saying that they are deceiving the public, and there have even been incidents of wanting to persuade the palace to force His Majesty to liquidate the Taishi party, and want to abolish these national policies."

"That's why Yang Sizhi was punished by the three clans. You must know."

Sun Shizhong continued to speak at this time, and suddenly loudly said: "But! They didn't let it go, they tried to hijack the people of the world, creating a kind of world opinion that all the courts are treacherous and the new government is tyrannical, and deceive us to study without them. There are many scholars, but it is not easy to speak, do you think we can sit back and watch them turn black and white like this, and make His Majesty and the decent ministers of the court mistakenly think that they are really fighting against the whole world?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

All of a sudden, many Jinyiwei disciples shouted.

……

"Who benefits most if you don't cancel the discount?"

"Those gentlemen around you!"

"Every year, the imperial court has to guard against the Tartars' looting, to provide disaster relief, to arrest and repair water conservancy projects, and the taxes and grains that need to be collected are fixed. You have to pay more, and you have to charge more."

"And if you don't cancel the preferential treatment, the tax and tax savings and the increased tax and tax silver that have been saved on the gentlemen will have to be shared among you."

"Would you like to?"

Zeng Xingwu's aide, Zhang Yanzhuo, a student from Shuntian Prefecture, gathered a group of people in the capital, and on a temporary stage, he asked whether the New Deal was a tyranny to these people who were watching free dramas. thing.

"I don't want to!"

"Why!"

"It's not that they don't have salaries when they are officials, and it's not that they don't have food when they study, and the court doesn't only protect them, why don't they give anything!"

The people clamored.

"However, people like Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian use their articles to promote the New Deal as a tyrannical government. They want to liquidate Zhang Taishi and Hai Qingtian who solved my troubles for the common people. They want to cancel the preferential treatment and prohibit the court from killing corrupt officials! Do you think we should protect the New Deal? ?”

Zhang Yanzhuo asked loudly.

"want!"

"want!"

"want!"

Many people shouted.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite!"

"Call me!"

"Hit to death!"

And the gentry of Shuntian Mansion nearby, Fan Guangyu, a former Hanlin attendant scholar, came over with a group of Haonu Xiangyong, and ordered his subordinate Haonu Xiangyong to beat these gathered people, and pointed at Zhang Yanzhuo with a crutch to reprimand him Get up: "You living beings, how can you incite the people to gather crowds to make trouble!"

"Dare to kill the people who have been instructed by the Governor's Mansion and interfere with the government affairs of the court!"

"President Gan Qian of the Biaoying, suppress it immediately, and arrest the evil gentry for trial!"

Zhang Yanzhuo directly took out the official letter from Governor Zeng Xingwu, and gave orders to the Chief Qian of the Biaoying who was temporarily resting here.

Gan Qiang immediately led the cavalry to hack and kill these Haonu Xiangyong who attacked the people one by one, and also arrested Fan Guangyu.

Not long after, Fan Guangyu was escorted to Zeng Xingwu's place.

"Zeng Que'an!"

"What are you doing?!"

"The Taizu once issued an imperial edict saying: There is a difference between a family of food and wealth and ordinary people. How can you arrest the old man without authorization! And favor these unscrupulous people?!"

After Fan Guangyu knew that the person who detained him was a soldier of Zeng Xingwu, the newly appointed governor of the Northern Strait, when he was taken to Zeng Xingwu's place, he was not afraid, and yelled at Zeng Xingwu.

Because he was born in Hanlin, if he hadn't been dismissed because he opposed Duoqing, as a Qingliu in Hanlin, his qualifications would have been higher than Zeng Xingwu.

Zeng Xingwu only told Zhang Yanzhuo in a deep voice: "Aren't you a believer of He Xinyin of the Taizhou school, do you want everyone to be friends? Then be friends with the people first, drag him down, and kill him in front of the people! You think about the reasons for the imperial court, and then tell the imperial court in the name of this hall! Then, in the name of your meritorious service in suppressing thieves, this hall recommends you to be the inspector of the new inspection department of Beizhi first!"
