Chapter two hundred and seventy-two: the same enemy
The court's attention to Guangxi was more focused on memorials, including Lianzhou, Guangxi Governor's Office, Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, the Governor's Office, and the Transportation Office.
In the past few days, one by one, a series of memorials have been passed to the capital. It was obviously something that happened in Lianzhou, but the real decision was in the capital. This incident was really a big deal. One is the Marquis of Wanhu and the other is the King of the Vaticans.
I was quarreling with each other, and I was having a lot of fun.
Even the cabinet's idea changed its mind as the vassal kings wrote a letter. It was unreasonable to offend so many vassal kings and fulfill one Liu Chengfeng. As soon as the cabinet came forward, there were naturally people in the dynasty who were waving flags and shouting for them.
Weird remarks are emerging one after another. To put it bluntly, it is to ask the palace to put the overall situation first. Regardless of whether Liu Chengfeng is right or wrong, please punish him severely to achieve results.
For the court, there is no right or wrong at all. Even people like Liu Jian and Xie Qian also know how to choose interests and will never destroy the stability of the world for the sake of so-called right and wrong.
But soon, things turned around. The Guangxi Governor wrote a letter to the cabinet. When Liu Jian saw the governor's memorial, he was stunned.
This time, something real happened. Hundreds of gentry besieged the royal palace and caused a conflict. Governor Chen Jian bluntly told the cabinet that this incident was entirely caused by the embezzlement of the land in the royal palace. The gentry in Lianzhou could not bear it and attacked them together.
The situation has temporarily subsided. Please ask the cabinet to make an idea immediately and appease the gentry of Lianzhou to prevent changes.
"Nothing!" Liu Jian slapped the desk hard, looking furious.
I just don’t know if the word “nons” is the right word, the King of Jingjiang, or the gentry of Lianzhou.
Today, Li Dongyang took leave because of his old illness relapse. After Xie Qian read the memorial, he was stunned and speechless.
What the Ming Dynasty did not lack was group trouble, such as refugees, ordinary people, or even mutinies in the military camps. If something happened, it was just a big deal. In fact, it was no big deal. The cabinet had long been familiar with such things.
But the nature of this day has completely changed. This is the gentry causing trouble. Throughout the dynasties, have you heard of the gentry causing trouble? The gentry is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Even these people forced the gentry to be wiped out, which shows that the situation in Lianzhou is bad.
How far?
Even Liu Jian, who has always been good at qi cultivation, couldn't help but slap the table. This was a real big deal. You can imagine what kind of earthquake the news of this memorial would cause if it spread.
He pressed his palm hard on the desk and said angrily: "Call someone to invite Bin Zhihe immediately... I'm sick at this time, so don't think about resting."
Xie Qian said: "Do you want to enter the palace?"
Liu Jian shook his head: "This matter is not clear yet, let's take a look first and then let's talk about entering the palace now, which is a little arbitrary. But you can hand the memorial into the palace first and let Your Majesty take a look first. Xie Qian nodded, both of them
The person who was not dragging the water hurriedly invited Li Dongyang to discuss.
Li Dongyang is really sick. The weather has been repeated these days, and he has been working hard for several days, and his old illness has relapsed and he is recuperating at home. However, when he heard the news from Guangxi, Li Dongyang was lying on the sickbed. He was stunned for a moment, and then he lifted up the quilt and asked for it.
When he got up, the wife was so scared that she hurriedly said, "What's the matter so urgent? Isn't it just that something happened in Guangxi?"
Li Dongyang said: "Women don't make plans."
This sentence choked the wife half to death. Li Dongyang usually respected this wife. The couple was pretty good, and they didn't blush much. They never said this before. Li Dongyang's abnormal attitude also shows what happened to the cabinet.
Absolutely not small.
After a while, Li Dongyang's clan brother Li Dongdong rushed over, obviously he heard some news. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife complaining, saying that Li Dongyang had lost his mind and was not even caring about his illness.
Li Dongdong has a gentle temperament. While waiting for Li Dongyang to change clothes, he pulled his wife to the side to talk. When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice and vaguely said the seriousness of the matter. The wife said: "He is not in good health,
I'll go to the cabinet later, you can accompany him and have a look after him."
Li Dongdong nodded. Although the cabinet was in the Forbidden City and he had to enter the inner palace first, now that Mr. Li is sick, it is understandable to take his family in to see the cun along the way.
After a while, Li Dongyang put on the court suit, and there was no sign of illness on his face. Instead, his face became a little rosy. Perhaps because of his excitement, even the pain was relieved a lot.
But the more this happens, the more worried it makes people feel. Li Dongdong was very tactful and did not persuade Li Dongyang to rest. He walked over and said in a low voice: "What happened again in Guangxi?"
When Li Dongyang saw that he was his clan brother, he did not show any displeasure. In fact, this clan brother was studying in the Li family on the surface, but in fact he was half of Li Dongyang's aide. He was calm and had some ideas.
Li Dongyang said lightly: "That's right, this time I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Li Dongdong narrowed his eyes: "Brother means, is the Jingjiang Palace going to collapse?"
Li Dongyang smiled without comment and immediately said, "Go to the cabinet first."
Li Dongdong didn't say anything else and couldn't help but say, "Will Liu Chengfeng encourage this matter?"
Li Dongyang stopped, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's probably the case, but whether he wasn't instigating him, this matter has become a foregone conclusion. But now we've just spread the news first. What will happen to King Jingjiang? It depends on the subsequent
how."
While the brothers said, they left the Li Mansion. There was already a sedan chair waiting outside. Li Dongyang waved to Li Dongdong and said, "Come on, take it with me."
Li Dongdong nodded first, his clan brother's sedan chair was quite wide, and the two of them entered the sedan chair together. Li Dongyang sighed and said, "In my opinion, this matter is a foregone conclusion. The Jingjiang Palace will definitely collapse, otherwise Chen Yan,
I will never submit this memorial. The current problem is how to appease other vassal kings. What do you think?”
Li Dongyang's words are not without reason. Who is Chen Jian? He is an old man who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades. Such a person will think twice before doing anything and will never fall to any side easily. He is
At this critical moment, a memorial that was obviously favored by Liu Chengfeng was suddenly presented. At least, it means that the Guangxi Governor's Office has determined that the King of Jingjiang was completely finished on the basis of the facts. Since the victory or defeat has been decided, Chen Jian took the opportunity to sell it.
OK, it is natural to do a favor.
Li Dongdong pondered for a moment, then said, "No need to be comforted."
Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment and looked at his clan brother.
Li Dongdong smiled and said, "This is the onlookers who are clear and the authorities are confused. Brothers think about it. What does the gentry surrounded the Jingjiang Palace? This means that the Jingjiang Palace has committed a crime and violated the court's repeated laws and regulations.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has issued repeated orders to strictly order the vassal kings not to enclose land, but the Jingjiang Palace suddenly enclosed more than 100,000 acres of land in Lianzhou. It is this enclosure that led to today's changes. In my opinion, the cabinet does not need to be
To appease the vassal kings, you only need to make a fuss in this enclosure land. Even if other vassal kings are not convinced, they must be convinced. However, since they have to deal with the crime of enclosure, they must act like and…”
Li Dongyang nodded and thoughtfully said, "You are right. The most important thing now is to downplay Liu Chengfeng's influence on this matter and firmly grasp the enclosure to talk about things."
A conversation with Li Dongdong gave Li Dongyang a solution. Perhaps for others, the biggest fear of this matter is the trouble of the gentry, but for Li Dongyang, the most important thing is to deal with the matter, which means
The difference between a person who is doing things and a person who is doing things. People who talk about things will only talk about the seriousness of things. For people who are doing things, the nature and seriousness of the problem are no longer what they are concerned about. If something happens, you must think about how to do it.
How to end the aftermath?
Li Dongyang couldn't help but look at Li Dongdong and couldn't help but say, "You are becoming more and more stable now. Alas, it's just a pity, if it weren't for your brother..."
Li Dongyang obviously was still worried about Li Dongdong's inability to take the imperial examination. With his elder brother, Li Dongdong had to lie dormant and unable to show his ambitions.
Li Dongdong smiled and said, "Brother, it's actually great to study at home."
Li Dongyang said nothing more. When the sedan chair arrived at the Meridian Gate, Li Dongyang and Li Dongdong entered the palace together. The palace checked Li Dongdong, and then reported to the personal commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the army and the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard, and let Li Dongdong in.
The cabinet did not have much panic. Although the matter was urgent, fortunately, after Liu Jian was furious, he was not at the point of panic. He still asked someone to go to work step by step and wait for Li Dongyang to come.
The three masters of the cabinet are indeed missing no one. When Li Dongyang appeared, Liu Jian was relieved and did not exchange greetings. He asked directly: "Binzhi, you already know the matter?"
Li Dongyang was supported by Li Dongdong, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Liu, you already know what the cabinet plans to make a decision?"
Liu Jian sat back on the chair, but Xie Qian seemed a little masculine. He personally helped Li Dongyang sit down with Li Dongdong before returning to his seat.
Liu Jian said slowly: "I invite Binzhi to come because I want to hear Binzhi's opinion. This matter is very difficult. On one side is a vassal king and a gentry. If the other is not good, something big will happen."
Li Dongyang nodded, Liu Jian was not wrong at all. The gentry in Liu Jian's mouth was no longer just a few hundred gentry landlords. The vassal kings used this to harm the interests of the gentry, which would inevitably arouse the anger of the entire gentry class.
The gentry is behind the civil servants, which means that the Jingjiang Palace is an enemy of the entire civil servant system.
