Wanli Youming

Chapter 51
Yan Qing and Sun Piyang said so, and he helped Sun Piyang take off the black hat on his head: "Your Majesty should save yourself some face. In this book, Hai Gong only asks you to make up for the deficit with the proceeds of the search, not to ask your majesty to punish the public and kill him." , and don’t want to peel the man’s bark last because of this, the man should be content!”

Saying that, Yan Qing ordered the official school he belonged to: "Don't put shackles on him, let him go to prison by himself!"

At this time, Sun Piyang stood up angrily and walked back and forth to the prison.

Yan Qing, on the other hand, sent Sun Piyang to the prison and sealed up Sun Piyang's eunuch income and family members, then returned to his study, and ordered to his staff: "Immediately draw up a memorial for this court to invite the imperial court to clean up the world's acres of land." Is it a long-term strategy for governing the country to make up for the deficit by copying the family?"

While Sun Piyang was waiting to ransack his home, Wei Xuezeng, the censor of the right capital of Nanjing, also learned of his dismissal and ransacking of his home.

When Wei Xuezeng saw the soldiers of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate surrounding his small courtyard, Chen Xing, the deputy censor of Nanjing, appeared in front of him holding an official letter with chicken feathers on it, informing him that he had been dismissed from office and ransacked his home. Just froze in place.

"Why didn't I know that beforehand?"

Wei Xue was very surprised.

"Because no one dared to inform the public!"

"The imperial decree said that if the confiscated family assets are not enough to make up for the shortfall, the confiscated house will continue to be searched until the shortfall is made up. So please be considerate of my colleagues."

Chern Road.

"Then whose idea is this?"

After hearing this, Wei Xuezeng asked a question.

Chen Xingdao: "Why bother to ask more questions. You think you are unlucky. When you were serving as Zuo Shilang's acting minister in the Ministry of War, the Liaodong discounted salary was too low. The salary that should have been one stone grain per month was converted to two coins by the public." Five cents of silver, and grain prices in Liao land amounted to two taels and one stone, so it was found out that the public drift was not serious, and officials from the Ministry of War confessed to testify. Now the imperial court will strictly pursue the lost silver, so it needs to be compensated by the public.”

"Whose idea did I ask you?!"

Wei Xuezeng stood up abruptly from his chair, and asked angrily, "What grade is he, to reveal the truth about this church?!"

"This hall is also the majestic chief constitution! Doing this, have you ever thought about the impact it will cause, and what will it do to save the court's face?!"

"When will the imperial court want to make up for the deficit, and will think of raiding the homes of ministers and ministers! Could it be that I am Yan Fenyi, Gu Baofeng and others?! How disregarding the friendship of scholars!"

"It's Lord Hai, Mr. Gangfeng."

Chen Xing replied.

After hearing this, Wei Xuezeng sat back down again, and then smiled bitterly: "Why didn't I count this hexagram, it's because I haven't learned enough?"

After finishing speaking, Wei Xuezeng took off the black gauze cap on his head, then walked towards Chen Xing and said, "I'll get a copy of the Book of Changes before I ask you to take me to the prison."

Chen Sheng nodded.

Therefore, Wei Xuezeng really went to his study room to get a copy of the "Book of Changes" and came back, shaking his head and saying, "I didn't expect that I would be the second person to be impeached after Hai Rui recovered."

"Not only the public, but also the Fuping Sun Fuyuan."

Chen Xing replied.

Wei Xuezeng was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked: "A Gao Gong student, a Xu Jie student, Hai Rui did this, is Jiang Ling planning something?"

Chen Xing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a sensible person, why bother to ask more questions."

Wei Xuezeng looked back as he spoke, and said, "It's a pity that all the income of an official's half-life has to go into public funds! Jiang Ling is not in a hurry to get rid of his father, but makes Hai Rui anxious to continue raiding the house. I have already said that Hai Rui cannot be reused. Unfortunately, Zhang Jiangling is not Gao Xinzheng, so he won't listen to me."

Then, Wei Xuezeng looked at the "Yi" in his hand again, and said: "Let's go to prison and do the math again, I still have a chance to recover."

……

"I heard that Haigang Peak is here again! And this time it's Hu Ruzhen's authority. I believe the old parents and all the princes know about it, right?"

Songjiang Huating.

Xu Jie took advantage of his spring outing to discuss matters with a group of bureaucrats and gentry in Nanzhi in a private garden.

The old parents in Xu Jie's mouth mean the magistrate of this county.

Nan Zhili inspector Tian Le nodded and said: "I have seen it in the "Di Bao", and the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has long been jittery."

Songjiang prefect Wang Yixiu also frowned and said, "Yes, isn't Jiang Ling a disciple of the old man? Why did he let Hai Rui come to the southeast?"

"Because I, a student, have gone so far!"

Xu Jie said something with a smile, and then asked again: "Perhaps you also know about Wei and Sun Ergong's family raids to make up for the deficit?"

The crowd nodded.

Xu Jie said: "This is not only ransacking the house but also sending Hai Rui to the southeast. It means that Jiangling wants to let everyone know that if the court's deficit is not resolved for a day, the house raiding will not end for a day. You can't rigidly force the common people to death by strictly urging you to pass the exam, and you can't arbitrarily deal with the accumulative prisons for completing the exam! After all, Hai Rui will come to watch you, once Hai Rui finds out You are messing around, and you know what will happen."

"Of course we understand, so what should we do? I also ask Mr. Xu to give me some advice."

Wang Yixiu asked.

Xu Jie said: "You don't have to worry, Jiang Ling's intention is just to let you cooperate with the imperial court to implement the system of clearing Zhang Tianmu, so that you can not only complete the examination, but also solve the deficit of the imperial court, and will not affect the people."

"The officer thinks so too."

"But if you do this, it will hurt the interests of the big family, otherwise you can only make a false report, and once you make a false report, you will be deceiving the king and hurting the people."

Xun Press Tian Leyan said.

Xu Jie laughed, and asked Tian Le: "I guess this is the reason why the old parents and the gentlemen came to see you all of a sudden?"

Tian Le nodded: "That's right, I just want to hear Mr. Xu's meaning. If we really want to live in the southeast, it will naturally depend on whether Mr. Xu has such a willingness."

"The most important thing is to solve the deficit of the imperial court. As for the damage to the big family, it's not a problem. If it's Qingzhang, my Xu family will be the first to cooperate!"

As Xu Jie said, he waved his hands and forced a smile.

After hearing this, Tian Le and all the officials were overjoyed, and they all bowed their hands to Xu Jie: "Fortunately, the old man is sensible, otherwise we will be in a dilemma!"

Then, Tian Le added: "In this case, there is no need to be afraid that Mr. Gangfeng will come to the governor's southeast. It is nothing more than that the transiting bureaucrats and gentry will not be able to eat and drink and take cards."

Xu Jie just smiled mockingly, he didn't say anything, but thought to himself that there was really no need for him to travel in the next few years.

In addition, because of the plagiarism of his protégé Sun Piyang, Xu Jie began to write letters to his other protégés, persuading them to understand the purpose of the court.

At this time, when Gao Gong came to Beijing and learned that his protégé Wei Xuezeng's house had also been ransacked, he also understood the court's intentions and began to write letters to his protégés, saying: "For the sake of Jiangling's willingness to let me return to Beijing , the old man will help him, so that His Majesty will not think that I am a petty weapon."

In this way, throughout the second year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun found that more and more officials went to the sparse to ask for the clearing of Zhang Tianmu to relieve the people's poverty and increase the country's funds.
