Chapter 230: A slutty imperial edict was delivered to Beitongzhou. Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Tai received the imperial edict. The imperial edict was praised by Zhongda, which attracted the attention of countless people in Beitongzhou.
Everyone knows that the prefect Zhou Tai is probably going to be promoted, so many people can't help but speculate, some envious and some jealous.
However, the matter soon calmed down. Although Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Tai had already attracted attention, Zhou Tai still worked this time, and Liu Chengfeng seemed to have been dormant all of a sudden, as if he was gradually unable to follow the investigation and prosecution of the rebellion.
This guy actually paid attention to the affairs of the Jubaolou Branch in Beitongzhou.
At present, Jubao Tower is expanding everywhere. As a hub in the world, Beitongzhou naturally has to open a branch. For this matter, Liu Chengfeng was busy and had a lot of fun.
The location of Tongzhou Jubao Building is in Taipei City. This is a gathering place for merchants. The storefront has been purchased and repaired and can be opened. All settings are no different from the Jubao Building in the capital. In addition, Jubao Building has long been famous.
In the world, more than half of the merchants in this northern Tongzhou are members of Jubaolou. Originally, this member could only be used in the capital, but merchants were people from all over the country, and the capital was just a stop to rest. Now it is said that
Jubao Buildings in Suhang, Shuzhong, Xi'an, Liaodong, Tongzhou and other places have already begun to be built, which naturally provides them with a lot of convenience.
Liu Chengfeng was busy and seemed to be happy. In a blink of an eye, the snow began to melt and the weather gradually became warmer. Even the trees also produced new sprouts of pink.
The frozen layer of ice surface of the canal is gradually melting at this moment, and the spring water is rippling, and ships are starting to launch, with canal ships, merchant ships and passenger ships coming in a constant stream.
In the military preparation yamen.
A monk suddenly visited him. The monk had a fat and shiny face. After throwing the famous thorn, the servants inside immediately invited him in and immediately introduced him to the flower hall in the back hall. In this flower hall, a table of wine and banquets had already been prepared, chicken, duck, fish and meat.
, a table was set up in a dazzling array of fresh fruits and vegetables.
There was no one around the flower hall. When the monk walked in, he was not polite. He sat on this seat and ate without hesitation.
The monk not only ate fruits and vegetables, but even chickens and ducks. He held a goose palm in his fat hand and feasted. In an instant, a table of wine and meat swept across the sky.
The monk patted his belly, burped, and smiled comfortably. He stood up, looked at the flower hall with his hands in his arms, and shouted: "Sir, since he is here, why don't he come out to meet the monk?"
Relying on the flower hall was an ear room, and the ear room and the flower hall were separated with a bead curtain. A figure came out of the bead curtain. The man still had a winged hat on his head, wearing a crimson official robe, and a bit of awkward smile on his face.
Walk out of the bead curtain.
The monk smiled and bowed to the official, clasped his hands and said, "The monk has met Lord Huang."
Lord Huang is Huang Zhen, the military inspector, a third-rank official of the court. When facing the monk's salute to him, Huang Zhen's face was obviously very unhappy, but he still had to make a gesture to invite the monk,
: "Master, please sit down and talk."
The monk sat down without hesitation and said, "Sir, are you okay?"
Huang Zhenshen glanced at the monk, and deep in his eyes, he was both angry and a little afraid. He was silent for a moment and said, "Master, the wind has not passed yet. Master is here, are you afraid that Liu Chengfeng will bring you
Take it?"
The monk smiled and said, "Liu Chengfeng, what am I afraid of? With Lord Huang's protection, the monk will not lose a single hair in this Beitongzhou."
Huang Zhen's face suddenly fell down and he said coldly: "This Beitongzhou is not the final word for me. The master's actions will not only mislead himself, but also mislead himself."
The monk did not show any concession to Huang Zhen's anger. He suddenly grabbed a glass of wine on the table, muttered and drank, and sneered: "Huang Zhen, is this how you talk to the monk? Don't forget
Yes, as long as the monk gives you an order, you can feel like you have no place to bury."
Huang Zhen's face immediately became extremely strange. He sat down dejectedly, put his elbow on the table and said, "If I had known this, why would I, Huang Zhen, have been so coerced by you now, now,
Tell me, what's the matter when I come to find me this time."
Although he looked unwilling, his tone had eased a lot.
Huang Zhen was indeed coerced. He had a bright future, his background was good, and his career was smooth. He was promoted all the way, and he was proud. However, when he became the military inspector, his family was out.
After the matter was over, his father died.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and righteousness. According to the rules, after the parents die, the children must hold the funeral for three years according to the etiquette. During this period, the marriage and marriage will not be carried out, and there will be no auspicious ceremony. Those who serve as officials must resign. This rule is called "Dingyou".
This system has been stipulated in the Western Han Dynasty for three years of Dingyou for the people serving in the court. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dingyou system had become popular. After that, there were regulations in all dynasties, and if the rank officials were hidden and not reported, once found out, the
But the court did not allow the in-service officials to obey the system according to their needs, and some of them were not satisfied. However, those who were summoned by the court would be restored. By the Ming Dynasty, this rule had become a law, who would be punished.
It must not be disobedient.
Huang Zhen had a bright future. He never thought that he had died at this critical moment. If he really reported his demise to the court, it would mean that within 27 months, he would have to remove himself from his official position and return to his hometown to mourn. How many life is there
Twenty-seven months, over the years, he has made so many relationships and put in so much effort, isn’t it all the waste because of this?
Of course Huang Zhen didn't want to return home, but An stipulates that if an official dies his parents, he can only take the path of robbing love and robbing love... With Huang Zhen's qualifications, it is impossible, let alone him,
It’s a teacher like Liu Jian and Li Dongyang who may not be able to receive such treatment.
After thinking about it, Huang Zhen thought of a solution, and he did not report the demise in secret. He instructed his brother to bury his father in a hurry and concealed the matter.
But soon, a monk came to the door and threatened that if Huang Zhen did not obey his instructions, he would immediately spread Huang Zhen's secret.
Of course Huang Zhen understood that if this matter was spread, it would inevitably be criticized by the people of the world. An official and a scholar would not report the demise secretly and not abide by etiquette and law. In the eyes of scholars, Huang Zhen would be despised by all his colleagues, and
You will be dismissed from an official position and will never turn over in your life.
Huang Zhen naturally compromised, and now, he has done too many things for this monk that he shouldn't have done, and he is getting deeper and deeper. If the incident happened, it is no longer as simple as dismissal from office. I am afraid that the whole family will be executed.
The monk glanced at Huang Zhen, who was depressed, and said lightly: "Master Huang thinks, what will happen to the monk come here?"
Huang Zhen's face changed and said, "Why do you have to force me to do it hard? I... we can't do this anymore. If something happens, you and I will be a death sentence!"
But the monk smiled, smiled coldly, and said, "Is that so? What's so scary about death? Things are done. In the future, King Ming will be the best. You will be a great hero. But if you don't do anything, they will find the adults sooner or later.
Lord Huang thought he wanted to leave now?"
Huang Zhen's body couldn't help but have a cold war and said tremblingly: "I...I..."
He had developed a demeanor that he could not show his emotions. He had been an official for so long and had his own majesty. However, facing this monk, he was powerless and sighed powerlessly.
: "So, how should we do next?"
The monk said lightly: "The most important thing about this matter is the grain. By the fifteenth day of next month, grain from all over the country will be circulating here. Hundreds of granaries in Bei Cangzhou will also accumulate like mountains. This is the best time.
After burning these grains, 20% of the imperial court's annual income will be burned to ashes. When we make a big fuss in Beitongzhou, it will inevitably cause shock to the world. Without grains, the imperial court's military pay will not be able to pay, and the disaster relief funds will also be
dàng still has no existence. How long can the Ming Dynasty... last? What's more, at this time, my believers from all over the Ming Cult will take the opportunity to rise. If the time is right, even the Ming King will climb up and call, the last of the Ming Dynasty.
A straw is enough to turn this peaceful and prosperous era into a thousand miles of land, and the opportunity for the Ming King to set the world on his feet will come."
Although the words said by the monk are inspiring, Huang Zhen didn't think of it at all. In his opinion, the words said by the monk were terrifying and ridiculous. They were thinking carefully about burning food and raising trouble, Beitongzhou
It is the hub of the world, and the grain from Jiangnan is transported here by ship at this time of year, and then put it in the warehouse, and then transported it to the Chaoyangmen Grain Depot by carriages and horses to store it. It is just that it is not easy to burn grain. There is a control by the grain manager.
There was a team of troops under the Caosi Department, with a number of two thousand people. He guarded the granary day and night, and even Huang Zhen could not mobilize him.
Although he was a military inspector who could mobilize his troops at any time, he really wanted to make people burn food and cause trouble, so who would obey?
Moreover, with Huang Zhen's cleverness, how could he not know what the monk was doing? Burning some food can cause chaos in the world? Although there will be war fires, it is a delusion to say that it can suppress the Ming Dynasty. Today's emperor works hard to cure it.
, The world is peaceful, even if you suffer such a big blow, you may not be able to recover from now on. I believe that this monk also knows that the reason why he promised so much was that he said that the cause of the incident was together in various places, and that Wang Denggao's call was actually to be honest.
It is to comfort yourself and tell yourself that as long as you do your best for them, you will be a hero in the future. This is a carrot, which is used to attract Huang Zhen for them to help them, and once he does this great thing
It's not certain that these people have already escaped and become their scapegoats.
He was silent and said nothing.
Seeing this, the monk said coldly: "Why didn't Lord Huang say a word?"
Huang Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "As long as you want to make a long-term plan..."
The monk sneered: "If you have long-term plans, you will miss the opportunity. At this time, does Lord Huang think he has a choice?"
A word woke up the dreamer. Huang Zhen couldn't help but beat him up and suddenly understood his situation. Even if he knew the risks here, did he have a choice? He did it as the monk's instructions.
, Are there any other way to go? If you don’t do it, you will die. If you continue to do it, you may not be able to survive in death.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It is necessary to do it, but there must be a complete solution. I only ask you, how to deal with the two thousand trough officials under the Caosi?"
The monk laughed: "Tell me the truth. Among these officials, there are many of them who are already from the Ming Cult, not to mention that many of the Thousand Houses in the Six Roads of Beitongzhou have been penetrated by us. As long as Lord Huang observes it,
The envoy issued a military order and ordered it to the garrison at that time. If someone dares to question it, our people will come to cook. At that time, we will attack him and burn food while the chaos is in trouble. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Huang Zhen knew in his heart that only God knew how much water the monk said, but since he said so confidently, he must be somewhat sure. After thinking about it, Huang Zhen continued: "The East Factory and the Jinyiwei should be there again.
How to cook?"
Originally, the factory guards became empty, but since Liu Chengfeng and Zhang Ru took office, they have gradually stabilized their positions. Now the streets are full of sleepless lieutenants and Fanzi investigating everywhere, and they have to do such a big thing.
, It is impossible for them not to notice. For Huang Zhen, these people are also very difficult.
The monk smiled faintly: "Originally, our idea was to assassinate these thousand households to dismantle the factory guards, but now the court sent Liu Chengfeng and Zhang Ru down again. These two people are indeed not easy to mess with, let alone now
The time for our uprising is getting closer. If we assassinate them again, we will be more alarmed by the court. At that time, we will be afraid that the imperial guards in the capital will be dispatched. Therefore, these two people cannot die for the time being, so as not to cause trouble.
There is a big trouble, but if they don’t die, it will indeed cause us a lot of small troubles. Since that’s the case, the monk has come up with a solution and can give it a try.”!
