And after Fu Wang and others decided to take action, their momentum was still very large, because in this era of the end of the Ming Dynasty, a notable feature is that there are many princes! There are many clan families!
Just like Shanxi Province, where Yang Shanlu has successfully governed before, there are three palaces above the prefecture level, like other auxiliary generals, Fengguo generals, and so on, that's even more! (The third generation of the prince, the fourth generation of titles), so let alone four provinces now!
Therefore, after Fuwang, who is willing to go to Beijing to file a court case, there are nearly a hundred princes or clan families! But to go to so many people is too much, so after a lot of selection, Fuwang, that is, all of them are at the level of the county king or above, can he go to file a complaint. In this way, a total of 20 companies have been selected!
Then, looking at such a huge team, Fu Wang was very satisfied, hehe, wait until such a team arrives in the capital, and see what your surname Yang will do!
So two days later, on the official roads of the four provinces, all kinds of teams with the Xuanhuanglong Banner appeared suddenly, and they were all marching towards the capital. That kind of mammoth scene is really magnificent... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However, the momentum of the imperial lawsuit in Beijing was so shocking that it was already found out by the local Jinyiwei. Then these Jinyiwei fans did not dare to neglect after they learned about it. They immediately went through a secret channel and reported it level by level, and finally reported to Emperor Chongzhen. Here.
And after Emperor Chongzhen knew it, he felt quite a headache... His pig teammates are about to make trouble again! But what should I do
To be honest, if only one or two feudal lords came, he would be able to scold them back, even if three or four came, it would be fine, but now there are a total of twenty! And many of them are his elders based on the calculations on the jade! Is it possible to reprimand all of them regardless of their elders and children
However, if they let their conspiracy succeed and attack Yang Shanlu, Chongzhen would definitely not do it!
Because even if he sits in the capital, he has already felt the benefits of Yang Shanlu's governance of the four provinces.
For example, let’s not talk about other things. Just like the two or three hundred thousand refugees who were flooding all parts of the capital some time ago, now there is almost only a fraction left. The main body of them is all emigrated outside the Great Wall by Yang Shanlu, or to the east of Liaoning. Now, they started their new life!
Including the refugees who used to come from the four provinces in a steady stream, now that the governance of the four provinces has seen the results, and they no longer leave their homes, they have travelled thousands of miles to find a way to survive.
So after realizing such benefits, it is self-evident which side Chongzhen would be biased toward.
It’s just that these pig teammates of his were united, which made Chongzhen quite embarrassed, so when he could not think of a good way, he simply made a secret decree to inform Yang Shanlu of the matter and asked him what he should do. How to do
On the contrary, Yang Shanlu, after receiving this secret decree, was not moved at all. Even after he learned that the feudal princes came to Beijing collectively to report the imperial court, he couldn't help but feel happy... Hehe, this shows that he The work in the four provinces is effective! Poke their sore spot! So these assholes can't bear it anymore, they want to see you in a hurry!
But in this case, Yang Shanlu simply went down the slope... Anyway, it's time to solve them completely!
Because I have said before, now the entire Ming Dynasty, the population of this clan alone, there are as many as 600,000 people! Then these 600,000 moths invaded at least one-tenth of Ming's fertile land, as well as countless other production materials, and they occupied so much, and they did not pay taxes at all! It has no effect on social progress!
In this case, if they want to go to Beijing to file a court case, then take this opportunity to solve them completely!
And Yang Shanlu has always believed that since he is here, solving these privileged classes is one of his obligations to the people of Ming Dynasty...
Now that he is here, these privileged classes, long sons and grandsons, don't even think about living a life of fine clothes and jade food! Now that he has come, do these dragon sons and grandchildren still want to live a life for nothing? Open your mouth when you eat, and reach out for clothes? Then it's okay to molest and molest the girl? Bullying the folks? Go dreaming!
Even Yang Shanlu thought of a short story from the previous period. Although it was about the wisdom of the magistrate, it was sad to look into it carefully...
During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Chenhao, the Ning King of Nanchang Mansion, raised a red-crowned crane, which was bestowed by the emperor. One day it disappeared, and finally found in the street, was bitten to death by a dog.
Then the palace saw the matter where he was willing and overbearing. Originally, you could kill the dog at most, but they were different. They wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail, so they took the owner of the dog, together with the dog and the dead crane. , Handed over to the Nanchang prefect for processing together, and written eight characters on the adverb: "Crane is a gold medal, a gift from the imperial court."
Then Zhu Han, the prefect of Nanchang at that time, had always hated the arrogance of the Ning Palace, but because he was the son of the dragon, he was just helpless, so this time he received the complaint and asked for the reason, and immediately sentenced it with a pen: " The crane is a gold medal, and the dog is illiterate; the injury between animals and animals has nothing to do with personnel."
I have to say that this verdict was excellent, and in the end, Prince Ning's Mansion was speechless and could only give it up angrily.
But Yang Shanlu saw a kind of sorrow from it, a kind of imperfect law! In other words, the privileges of the royal palace can still be superior to the law, and the royal palace is born to be superior to others! Can be superior to the people! So once in a while someone can win them a game, it's a good talk, but in fact it doesn't solve the problem fundamentally! But now
Of course, because this matter was of great importance, Yang Shanlu felt that he had to go out in person. In that case, he simply arranged his outfit and set off for the capital, so that he would have a final break with these worms!
Half a month later, Yang Shanlu rushed to the capital, but he felt that the atmosphere was different this time when he entered Beijing. In the past, when he entered Beijing, other officials saw him being flattering and took the initiative to visit. Once, even if I saw it, I was a little cold and even subconsciously avoided it.
The reason for this is also very obvious, because this time, a total of 20 vassal vassals entered the capital to report to the imperial court, which is unprecedented in the history of Ming Dynasty! It's like Hai Rui is not good in the past? Specially against corrupt officials! But there is no such thing, so it is basically a household name.
And these officials are not optimistic about Yang Shanlu! In any case, this Ming Dynasty is still the world of the old Zhu family. No matter how much his Emperor Chongzhen trusts you, can he fight against so many uncles and uncles for you? It's impossible to think about it... So now, after Yang Shanlu arrived in the capital, those officials would subconsciously avoid him when they saw him.
But Yang Shanlu is still unmoved... Haha, since ancient times, the road to reform has always been lonely! And what are these princes? Then see, who can have the last laugh!
Then, Yang Shanlu arrived at the Yang Mansion first. Unexpectedly, after seeing his father Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang also meant the same, so just let it go! Because this is purely thankless... It is unwise to make personal grievances about national affairs.
And these enemies are not ordinary people! These are all kings! According to the energy of these palaces, if each family is determined to deal with their Yang family, they can be choked! So why is this
But Yang Shanlu's answer to this is that it is not that he wants to do it, but that he has to do it! Because he has reached his current height, there are not many things worth pursuing, so he should do something that must be done for the whole country and the whole nation! Although tens of thousands of people, I am going!
Then after comforting the old man in this way, after the next day, Yang Shanlu entered the palace.
Only after entering the palace, I saw Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Shanlu was a little surprised, Emperor Chongzhen’s mouth was hot... Obviously this time was very disturbing!
However, Emperor Chongzhen, when he saw Yang Shanlu, he was still so calm and at ease, when he was at ease, Emperor Chongzhen was very puzzled: "Yang Qing, it's this time now, are you still so relaxed?"
As for Yang Shanlu, he smiled slightly and said, "The emperor doesn't have to worry. Since the ministers are here, this matter is not a trouble... Don't they want to go to Beijing to file a court case? Let them come!"
"Even the Weichen still has an idea. Since governing the world, there will inevitably be conflicts with these vassals, so today it is the vassal princes of these four provinces who jumped out. What about the future? So the Weichen feels that you are worse than the emperor The next decree is to let all the princes of Daming enter the capital, and let the Weichens solve this problem completely!"
"Ah! Can you do this?" Chongzhen was very surprised when he heard this. If you know that these twenty feudal lords have come, it has already caused him a headache, but now, Yang Aiqing actually said to let everything All the princes enter Beijing? Can he even solve it all at once
Looking at the shocked look of Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Shanlu smiled slightly, and then he told Emperor Chongzhen his plan, and after Emperor Chongzhen heard it, his surprised eyes widened... because of Yang. What Shanlu said is something he has never heard of...
"Yang Qing, can you be sure of doing this? How come it really feels like a god descending from the earth!"
"The emperor, don't worry, the minister is 100% sure." Yang Shanlu said with confidence. The matter he said, or the details involved, are all for people in this era. It's almost like listening to fairy tales, but for him, a traveler, he has full confidence!
"Since Aiqing, you have said so, you can give it a try..." Only after the Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he still had some embarrassment: "But I am afraid that Taizu and his old man will be alive in the sky, and I will be blamed!"
And Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it: "The emperor, you are so worried, even if Taizu and his elders are alive in the sky, they will never blame you!"
"Because you think about it, Taizu, the old man who worked so hard to lay down the country at the beginning, did he want his descendants to ruin? Then drag the entire Ming Dynasty into the grave? After all, the Emperor, you are in front of the Ming Dynasty home. People know the harm of these princes better than you."
"That's right." After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded again and again, feeling the same about it... You know that he works hard, but what about his relatives? The food and wages consumed in a year on Ming's surface alone accounted for almost 30% of Ming's entire annual income!
Even the shortcomings brought by many palaces do not stop there, such as occupying good land, occupying various minerals, bullying men and women, running rampantly in the countryside... Only they can't think of, nothing they can't do! Anyway, they are pure parasites, they are only bad for Daming, not good!
So Chongzhen thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Well, since Yang Qing, you are sure, let you and the monarch and ministers work together to completely solve these nasty guys together! Give them a lesson that you will never forget!"
"It's what I want—" Yang Shanlu smiled happily after listening. With the support of Emperor Chongzhen, they can be completely solved! Solved this stubborn illness! (End of this chapter)
