However, the official Liang Dong and others played, saying that the lack of jewelry in the construction industry would mobilize the silver of the user department.
There is a memorial on the Qingliu: "If the internal treasury is insufficient, the Ministry of Planning shall be taken; if the Ministry of Planning is insufficient, the people of the county and township shall be taken; the people of the county and township will be taken safely? Today the southeast is hungry, and the people are hungry for the flesh and blood, and the order is searched. Frequently..."
It can be seen that this incident has shaken Daming's financial foundation, and Lu Bing is even more angry with the Taoist priest.
Emperor Jiajing became wary of Lu Bing, and even more favored Yan Song, and handed it over to Yan Song to be responsible.
Yan Song seized the opportunity to amass self-employment. Yan Song knew that the messenger who built the palace was "fat", so he sold noble officials.
The officials who got the fat and deficiencies searched desperately to bribe Yan Song, and at the same time made a fortune.
Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song's minion and Minister of Engineering, not only embezzled a lot, but also used the building materials used to build the palace to privately transfer military and migrant workers to build their own private houses.
On May 11, Jiajing 36th year, in order to intensify the restoration of the three halls of Fengtian, Huagai, and Jinshen that were destroyed by fire on April 13 of the same year, Emperor Jiajing ordered Shenmu, Shanxi No. 2 Factory, Tongzhou Zhiyizhen and Longjiang to speed up the restoration. The large wood was left in Guan, Wuhu and other places. In addition to the construction of the capital, it was also based on the words of Yan Song, a scholar, Liu Boyue, the right servant of the Ministry of Life and Engineering, and the Governor of Sichuan, Huguang, and Guizhou. , To patrol the three provinces in time, plan and purchase together with the governors.
At the same time, two doctors and two deputy ambassadors were added to the province to specialize in purchasing large wooden matters.
As of August 23 of the same year, Liu Boyue played four matters concerning the work: 1. Discretion of the price of wood. The case of the two departments of households and labor was opened and accepted in the province of mining wood, and the price was paid for the wood; second, the responsibility was divided. The wooden numbers will be allocated and the administrative officer will be ordered to report for shipment on a scheduled date; 3. Affirm the old rules. Open the land official to offer the grace of wood; fourth, allow Namu to atone for sins. The native officials commit crimes, according to their severity, and grant Namu's immunity, reinstatement, and assault. This case can pass in Guangdong, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
Shut up, get the will and do it.
On the grounds of picking wood, the attendant Liu Boyue used a car to collect money from the people and the counties and counties to send the property to Yan Song's house. Other companies have tried their best to accumulate money, and those who contributed to Yan Song are even more uncountable. For a time, Yan Song's furnishings were in private possession, rich in public money...
Corrupt officials have unrestrictedly engaged in private fraud. Even the bureaucratic memorials say that the folks "death pillows, moans and sighs, your Majesty is not allowed to see or hear." Then the real situation is even more serious.
As a result, a fire in the palace spread to the entire territory of Ming Dynasty, causing a nationwide disaster.
...
Lu Bing showed these one by one in front of Tao Zhongwen, the master of Taoism.
Tao Zhongwen was silent for a while, raised his hand, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Bing.
Lu Bing sneered: "Does the Taoist know that this cup of tea is not enough for Daming to supply?"
Tao Zhongwen frowned, and said, "Master Lu, we have been together for a long time. Over the years, you have always had a slight suspicion of my Taoism, and you know the poor Taoism. However, this kind of monstrous disaster, you insist on adding to my Taoism. On the head, Poor Dao can't bear it."
"Do you also know that this is a terrible disaster?" Lu Bing said coldly, "You told the emperor that it was caused by thunder, but my Jinyiwei found that it was not like that! Although the emperor didn't say much now, you think you can hide it. when?"
"..." Tao Zhongwen was just drinking tea.
Lu Bing continued: "The Taoist priests under you are becoming more and more unscrupulous now. As a Taoist leader, don't you have any responsibility?"
"What about the poor Dao?" Tao Zhongwen looked at Lu Bing's eyes and said: "As the saying goes, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Although I am a Taoist schoolmaster, I do not favor the Taoist alchemist, but it is not said by the emperor. Count?"
"Then why don't you severely punish the perpetrators for such a big incident this time?" Lu Bing said angrily: "You should at least show a rule and attitude! Instead of deceiving the emperor!"
"..." Tao Zhongwen sighed: "Today's Taoist sect is already difficult to ride a tiger. If the emperor is allowed to initiate thunderous anger at this time... The poor Tao must be for the sake of tens of thousands of Taoist clans inside and outside the imperial city!"
"I'm obsessed with no enlightenment." Lu Bing's face was gloomy: "So, are you determined to let it go?"
Tao Zhongwen frowned. As the master of Taoism, even the Emperor Jiajing respected him. Yan Song had to be polite to three points when he saw him. Lu Bing was so aggressive that he was a little displeased.
Lu Bing stood up and said, "The officer first salutes and then soldiers. Since you toast and don't eat fine wine, don't blame the officer for being impolite."
"Master Lu has a heart for me, why don't you visit your in-laws?" Tao Zhongwen said solemnly: "Even if the fire was caused by my Taoist school, the tense would not have developed to such a degree without the strict party behind."
"Things need to be done one by one." Lu Bing also said solemnly: "No matter what the emperor thinks, the culprit this time must pay a price..."
"Master Lu is threatening Poor Dao?" Tao Zhongwen said with a change of color.
"You're right, it's a threat." Lu Bing stood with his back and said decisively: "You should also know that the officer has the confidence to threaten, and there are also threats. You must not miss yourself." Lu Bing looked at Tao Zhongwen. Said: "The officer doesn't have much patience anymore. I hope you can do it for yourself, otherwise you can blame the officer for being polite."
Seeing Lu Bing who strode out, Tao Zhongwen sighed and said, "Pan Dao has long wanted to go back to the mountain. Once this happened, Pang Dao didn't want to stay. It's just... Master Lu, even if you kill the Taoist priests in the palace. , Forcing the poor road to leave Beijing, it was ultimately useless, the culprit... Hehe, as long as the emperor talks to the road for a day, your original intention will be difficult to achieve... Look, you see this clearly?"
"My official is still going to say that, things have to be done one by one." Lu Bing stopped, and said without looking back: "At least your departure, and the lives of those few people, can make others restrain. Be more obedient."
"Do you kill chickens and scare monkeys?" Tao Zhongwen drank his cup of tea with a sense of taste, and said: "One by one... Hehe... It's hard to support a single tree... Master Lu, I'm a poor man, I hope Master Lu can do it himself. "
"Humph." Lu Bing heard what Tao Zhongwen was saying, but he didn't fear at all, snorted coldly, and left with strides.
Hard to support a single tree? I have thirteen Optimus Pillars, how can I survive to sweep you all away and leave a peaceful world!
…
Tao Zhongwen, originally named Dianzhen, was born in Huanggang County, Huguang. Shao is good at the alchemy of the gods, and he is taught amulets from Wanyu Mountain in Luotian.
In Jiajing, Huangmei County official was promoted to Liaodongku ambassador, and he was appointed to the capital, and recommended to the palace by Shao Yuan to eliminate demons.
In the eighteenth year of Jiajing, King Sejong visited the south, and Shao Yuanjie was sick. Tao Zhongwen was used as a substitute for Tao Zhongwen. He was awarded the missionary master of the gods and the country with his prayers and worship, and he was given a seal to find a real person and lead the way. Soon, he added Shaobao, the Book of Etiquette, and the Taifu to eat a premium.
In the 20th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing moved to the Xiyuan, seeking longevity every day, talking about the dynasty and ruining it, and the emperor and ministers did not meet each other. Tao Zhongwen was able to see it when he saw it, and he was given to sit when he saw it.
Jiajing twenty-three years in October, add a few teachers. One person also leads Sangu, and the world will end, only Tao Zhongwen. For a long time, he was awarded the scholarship of the special scholar in Guanglu.
In the spring of the 29th year of Jiajing, he was awarded the title Gongcheng Bo, and his annual salary was 1,200 shi.
In June of Jiajing 36th year, Tao Zhongwen declared that he was ill and asked the emperor to return to the mountain.
Emperor Jiajing repeatedly tried to stay, but Tao Zhongwen just insisted on leaving. Emperor Jiajing couldn't keep it, so he had to return to Luotian Wanyu Mountain.
…
"How dare he do this!" In Xiyuan, Emperor Jiajing was losing his temper, Huang Jin waited on him, bowing his head silently.
"He actually dared to force Zhenren Tao to leave me! Who does he think he is! Be bold! To bully you!" After the Emperor Jiajing fell on a pair of blue and white porcelain, he finally sat on the couch, breathing heavily and said, "He just let go. Let's go, I personally stayed again and again, Tao Zhenren dare not stay, these Lu Bing's words are actually better than mine!?"
Emperor Jiajing's words utterly condemned the heart, but Huang Jin was indifferent after hearing it.
"Fortunately, I have you." Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin and sighed: "You are the only one who followed me to Beijing from the Xing Palace.
"The emperor, Master Lu didn't mean it." Huang Jin pretended to persuade: "The old slave's Dongchang also found out that the fire in the third hall was indeed related to the Taoists..."
"What about it!" Emperor Jiajing was even more excited: "I have already stated that I don't mind, don't investigate, don't pursue it! He is still biting! Is it a breeze to be my dear
Huang Jin lowered his head and showed a slight smile, which was the effect he wanted. He knew that the emperor’s anger was not because of Lu Bing’s investigation, but because of Lu Bing’s power, which made Emperor Jiajing suspicious. The emperor’s anger was because Lu Bing could hardly control it!
Even if one heart is the king and the country is one heart, but Jin Yiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and the emperor can't control Jin Yiwei. Isn't it dangerous
In the past few years, Emperor Jiajing may have been disinterested in state affairs, but he has paid more attention to the right to speak. That's why Xia Yan and Qiu Luan have learned lessons from the past. The reason why the Yan family's father and son were so greedy and betraying the law, the emperor still favored him, it was because they seemed to be obedient to the emperor.
The emperor... Only like obedient dogs...
Huang Jin sneered. Lu Bing had forgotten this, or his self-esteem made him forget that he was actually just a dog of the emperor... Do you really think he and the emperor are brothers? Pooh! In front of the emperor, there are no brothers!
"Huang Jin... This thing can't go on like this..." Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin and said, "You have to think of a way..."
"It's... the emperor..."
Huang Jin sneered, Feng Bao at the door... cold sweat...
…
Lu Bing expelled Tao Zhongwen, but did not stop there. He imprisoned 138 Taoists from the emperor’s alchemy gold and silver medicinal materials, but he finally left the edict alive. More than a dozen people, and even if they got out of the imprisonment, they would eventually escape the capital, but only two of them...
