Jiangnan gentry is a very embarrassing topic for civil servants.
When the Yuan Dynasty was weakening in the past month, wars raged all over China. The red scarves of various tribes rose up in the grass and raised the banner of anti-Yuan. The land south of the Yangtze River has always been rich, and naturally it was coveted by all forces. The beacon fire of Yechang's uprising finally burned out.
All over the south of the Yangtze River.
The bureaucrats and gentry have always been the real local snakes in the Jiangnan area. Whether they can remain in power forever, the vast majority of the Jiangnan gentry chose to succumb to the forces of the rebels. After all, whether they are defeated by the rebels or not, they all need to rely on them to control the Yuan Dynasty.
The land of Jiangnan.
When Zhang Shicheng came, they assisted Zhang Shicheng; after the Zhu family came, they surrendered to the Zhu family. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, those people naturally grew up and became officials of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to changing to a more severe boss, Yuezi Cuo seemed to them.
There's not much difference. High-ranking officials have to do what they do, and they just keep their property.
When Yang Xunwen said this posthumously, Bidong actually wanted to interrogate the wealthy gentry? This made many officials panic.
We need to know that they themselves are not gentry. Most of them are officials in the government and gentry at home. If they have no property or tenants at home, how can the vast majority of them call themselves "scholarly families"?
How can "farming, studying and inheriting the family" have the capital to be listed in the Tianzi Hall?
As for the "hoarding and hoarding" mentioned by Ru Taisu just now, it is not a common thing. If we don't hoard, how can we make profits? How can we take the opportunity to accumulate land in disaster years?
In the past, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had a lot of troubles for decades, but I, surnamed Ru, were very lenient!
"Your Majesty, the East." A member of Youyouyang immediately came out and bowed and said: "This court meeting is about whether to discuss the matter of the East of the Five Palaces."
"I think that if the merchants are willing to donate grain to the East of Five Halls, they must admire his great Ming virtues and take the initiative to offer it. There will be no exploitation. If this is not the case, why don't you see the merchants complaining?"
"This is his contribution to the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty and the virtue of the Holy Ming of Bidong. Wudiandong and the merchants rescued the victims, not only were they not guilty, but they also had meritorious service. Yang Xunwen was in a hurry, and he just spoke without meaning. I would like to thank you for your help.
Mingjian.”
I flattered Lao Zhu and Zhu Su, and very gently and deftly, I put the pot back on Yang Xunwen's head. I, Yang Xunwen, didn't open any pot, so don't blame him for being unjust.
"No?" Lao Zhu looked at Yang Xunwen.
Yang Xunwen's face turned green and red, and after a while of confusion, he bowed to him and said, "No. I have no status."
"I am willing to accept the blame for my lies."
If Bidong had thought of wrongly paying off the Jiangnan gentry, then it would have been a big deal.
In comparison, if the fifth prince is admitted to the Imperial Academy, the impact will be lighter...
"In that case, the crime does not exist," Lao Zhu said. "As for hoarding food and harming the people... I have a department to conduct a thorough investigation of all merchants in Suzhou."
"If it really happened, his family wealth would be lost and put into the national treasury."
"Those who dare to harm the people will be punished by us."
Although I know that it is not appropriate to mispay those people massively at this time, I can take the opportunity to strike a chord, and Lao Zhu will not miss it.
"Your Majesty Dongsheng Ming!" Ru Taisu was quite satisfied after hearing this. Although the civil servants in the east didn't look good, they didn't say anything.
Bidong clearly stated that he would investigate Suzhou, which is already very good. Besides, if "Yousi" conducts a thorough investigation, if it is clear that Hu Weiyong's party has been completely eliminated from the civil service, the so-called Yousi will not deny their own
?
Since it is not possible for him to check himself, then there is a lot of room for manipulation in terms of what kind of "degree" he can check.
"The two crimes are over, and there are three crimes. Let me continue." Lao Zhu mistakenly said to Yang Xunwen. Yang Xunwen was as clear as day, and his face was as bright as gold. He was impulsive and spoke out to others, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he offended all his colleagues.
Because of that incident, his colleagues standing behind him will definitely not help him to continue to stand out, so as not to arouse the hatred of Bidong. Ruming himself, can he be said to be fighting alone...
Yang Xunwen gritted his teeth, and when things became clear, he had to bite the bullet and said: "The minister continued. The third crime is 'pretending to be a king and giving orders to officials'."
"Wudiandong once said that he was the 'King of Wu', and used this to use Suzhou officials as subordinate officials, wrongly issuing orders to them; it should be noted that Diandong had not yet become a vassal at that time..."
Halfway through his words, he caught a glimpse of Lao Zhu's disdain for Ye Qin, and the crime in his heart was not painful to Zhu Su. After all, the king's title was not Lao Zhu's own business, so to use that to criticize the prince, beg the emperor himself.
I don’t mind, but who cares?
Otherwise, he used extremely fast speed to directly pass over that crime and continued: "The fourth crime is 'forcibly kidnapping female family members and committing unethical debauchery'."
"I heard that there is a 'nursing camp' near Diandong. They are all ordinary civilian girls, but they were recruited into the army by Diandong."
"How can there be female relatives in the army? When we march to the east of the palace and fight, we ask those female relatives to accompany us, for fear of humiliating Your Majesty's statement..."
"What nonsense are you talking about, my little thief?" The one who scolded him that time was Chang Mao, who was among the ranks of martial arts veterans.
"Nursing camp, those are not the kind women rescued by the palace. They practice medical skills and accompany the army to rescue wounded soldiers. I don't know how many brothers have been brought back from the gate of hell."
"I am a dirty bird official! How dare you use them to accuse the palace master?"
Chang Mao had also received rescue in the nurse camp for some minor injuries, so when he looked at Yang Xunwen, who had verbally humiliated the female soldiers in the nurse camp, he looked like a wolf and a tiger. Yang Xunwen felt even more frightened, but he could only hold back.
The head and face said: "There are no men in the military camp. Women's reputation is more important than heaven. How can any good woman be willing to join the military camp?"
"If they were not forcibly taken into the military camp, why? The Duke said that those women could rescue the wounded soldiers in the camp... Let's talk about the situation in the wounded soldiers' camp. How can women from good families help?"
"I..." Chang Mao became even more angry and wanted to go out and beat him up, but the censors in the palace were already on guard because of Ru Taisu's previous beating. At this time, they kept urging Chang Mao not to ask for help from the palace.
Former disgrace.
Although Chang Mao was not a duke, he did not have the title he received through kindness, and he was not a junior. He did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the palace. Although his face was red with anger, he could glare at Yang Xunwen.
Zhu Su was also very angry. If not, then Yang Xunwen would criticize himself, then that would be fine. But at this time, there was no limit to implicating others, let alone the poor people in the nurse camp.
Those people were already ashamed of themselves because they had been humiliated by Japanese bandits. It was not easy for Ru Ming to rekindle his hope of life. If he was subjected to such evil words again, he would probably return to the appearance of a walking zombie before?
Zhu Laowu was preparing to personally refute Yang Xunwen, when a voice came from the front of the noble team:
"What Mr. Yang said is quite funny."
"Don't the female family members help us in the army? When we were in Haozhou in the past year, the Queen Empress often helped us cook and sew clothes. The Queen Empress sewed and gave away Bidong's first red war coat.
Those who arrived at the military camp!"
"Maybe the Yuan Tartars are attacking the city, and the Queen is also leading a group of female relatives to the east of the city tower to help carry the wounded soldiers and deliver soup and rice. Why do I think the female relatives can't enter the military camp and can't do anything?
"
Zhu Su was stunned, turned around and looked around. The one who kept his mouth shut was Tang He, the Duke of Xin who was standing at the forefront of the martial arts. Tang He also felt Zhu Su's gaze and quietly winked at Zhu Su.
Zhu Su suddenly understood and nodded gratefully.
"That...that..."
Yang Xunwen was blocked back again. If Xu Da was not around, Tang He would be the first person in the ranks of nobles in the court. When Lao Zhu Bufu was just a pawn, he followed Lao Zhu. In terms of qualifications, such as
Xu Da, the first person in the Ming army, sought depth.
The Battle of Haozhou he mentioned was exactly the first battle that Lao Zhu participated in when Guo Zixing was in the east. At that time, he, Yang Xunwen, was not an "obedient citizen" of Yuanting! Use the past events of Empress Ma from that period
To refute it, how could Yang Xunwen dare to accept it?
Is it possible that Queen Ma is not a kind woman?
Are you afraid of Lao Zhu’s warning from the nine tribes?
He raised his eyes, and sure enough, the emperor at the head looked extremely unkind. Yang Xunwen's knees weakened, knowing that there was nothing he could do.
The last sin of "criticizing sages and being unworthy of teaching" can no longer be uttered no matter what.
