Chapter 534 Li Chengliang: I'm afraid of Haoyou, but I'm even more afraid of Your Majesty!

Chapter 534 Li Chengliang: I'm afraid of Haoyou, but I'm even more afraid of Your Majesty!

"According to the order!"

Zhu Yijun then looked at Zhang Jingxiu and asked, "Did Jin Yiwei find anything during the provincial examination in Yingtianfu?"

"The minister is about to play His Majesty!"

"Jin Yiwei has just received a tip that Zeng Sansheng, a thousand households stationed in Yingtian, has indeed passed the instigation of a township house test officer, and learned that there is indeed fraud in the Yingtianfu township test!"

"Now Zhang Zou has been sent, and the imperial court is requested to strictly investigate, so there may be fraud in the Yingtian Township Examination."

Zhang Jingxiu cupped his hands and replied.

After Zhang Jingxiu said, Shen Shixing and others all looked horrified.

Zhu Yijun laughed: "I knew it would be like this."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun said again with a sullen face: "Let's just believe what they said, but the officials and all the people in the government office must be controlled first. It is not ruled out that there is no collusion between the bureaucrats and the right. , send an imperial envoy to this matter, who do you think is suitable?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Yue, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment. This man was very good at investigating and arresting evildoers in the past."

At this time, Liu Ying said rhythmically.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "That's not right, let civil servants investigate cases involving literati. Even if I believe it, poor scholars in the world don't want to believe it. We have to send a shrewd military officer there!"

Zhu Yijun said: "Let the Marquis of Tieling go."

"Your Majesty, my son can only go to battle to kill the enemy, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to do the fraud in the Chaco field!"

Li Chengliang shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly stepped forward to play at this moment.

Zhu Yijun gave Li Chengliang a deep look.

Li Chengliang trembled again, and had to change his words hastily: "However, if Your Majesty really wants to use my son as an imperial envoy, I think he can do his best to do the job well. After all, although my son can only go to battle to kill the enemy, he also has thoughts. On the meticulous side, he is also good at accepting people's words, and because he was taught by Xu Wenchang, he also made good friends with many powerful literati advisers who participated in the Pingwa, and it is not difficult to help him solve the case."

"I value his loyal side more, but as Qing said, it doesn't matter whether he is good at investigating cases, as long as he recruits counselors who are good at investigating cases."

Zhu Yijun then said: "In addition, if according to what Tianfu played, this matter is related to the fraud in the examination room, and if it has something to do with the Haoyou behind it, it means that the Haoyou in Jiangnan is still very unruly and has a very bad manners. Not good, even very bad, to use such a cruel method."

"I really want to ask, is this still a place where culture and education flourish?!"

After Zhu Yijun spoke, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and other Jiangnan bureaucrats couldn't help but bow their heads.

"deliver an imperial order!"

"Since this matter has something to do with Jiangnan officials, Haoyou, then the 17th year of Wanli's court and general examinations will no longer use the children of Jiangnan officials!"

"If this matter is not clear, then three years later, the Yingtian Township Examination and the General Examination will not take the children of officials in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to relieve the grievances of the poor scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and dispel the reactionary trend in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhu Yijun said.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Xu Guo were shocked when they heard this.

Shen Shixing prostrated himself directly on the ground, and said in a painful voice: "The officials in my hometown have disappointed His Majesty, and I am ashamed of the court, but not all of them are like this. Please forgive me and don't implicate all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Wang Xijue also prostrated himself on the ground.

then.

Wang Xijue even gritted his teeth and said: "The minister is willing to call on the officials in his hometown to donate the land to the common people, and relieve the grievances of the poor for the court!"

Shen Shixing glanced at Wang Xijue in surprise: "The same is true for my minister!"

"Get up, everyone."

Zhu Yijun said something.

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue stood up.

Zhu Yijun said at this time: "Since this is the fault of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, the fault is that the place is restless and the country's favor is in vain, so it can't just be borne by your single family. This is an unfair move."

"As the saying goes, if a group does evil, it should blame the group, and if an individual does evil, it should blame the individual."

"But governing the country is like holding a scale. If you want to make the scale always flat, your heart should be like a mirror, and you can distinguish right from wrong from good and evil."

"And the two of you have contributed to the country, especially in the recent stabilization of the price of silver dollars. You two have contributed a lot, so I shouldn't blame you for the mistakes of the Jiangnan officials, but it seems that you are doing something wrong. Serving as an official for the Jiangnan officials, not for the imperial court, is undoubtedly a betrayal of your loyalty."

"So, according to the decree, the cabinet ministers, the Shen family and the Wang family, are exempted from this punishment because of their meritorious service, and the children of the three families can still be recorded."

Zhu Yijun said.

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue were startled for a moment, and then they all bowed their hands to thank each other.

In fact, they didn't really care so much about the interests of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reason why they were so excited to worship just now was essentially because their own family's interests were involved.

Zhu Yijun understood their thoughts, so he specially granted the decree of grace.

Then, Shen Shixing and others cooperated very well and did not remonstrate.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind just now?"

After the ruling ministers left the palace, Yin Zhengmao, the new minister and assistant minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but ask Li Chengliang.

Li Chengliang wiped the cold sweat off his head and said with a smile: "Jiangnan Haoyou should not let the dog be bombarded."

Yin Zhengmao smiled and said: "That's not the case, it's just that the gentleman is less afraid of offending people than before, which is really awe-inspiring."

Li Chengliang smiled wryly, and said: "It's not that I'm not afraid, but there are people who are more afraid."

Li Chengliang pointed to the direction of the Xiyuan Emperor Palace as he spoke, and said: "Since he came to the throne, how many martial arts have been added and how many new martial arts have been cultivated. If he is willing, he can kill tens of thousands of people in one big case like Taizu It’s not a problem, are you not afraid?”

"fear!"

"Everyone in the world fears it, but it's a pity that the powerful and powerful in the world don't fear the people, so what happened today."

"Back then, Taizu killed rivers of blood, and those who were not afraid of the people and bullying the people like ants, still find it difficult to ban this matter. It can be seen that it has been difficult for officials not to bully the people since ancient times!"

Yin Zhengmao sighed as he spoke.

……

Turn the words back.

After the low-ranking scholars who failed the provincial examination in Yingtian were slaughtered on the way back from the governor's office, they did not calm down as the officials in Jiangnan had expected, even though Min Shouzheng recorded almost all the poor scholars in the supplementary recording. .

Because Zhu Yijun had sent people to the local government in advance to organize a campaign for scholars and common people to denounce injustice.

Therefore, not long after this incident, more underprivileged scholars were organized to continue to pay homage to these underprivileged scholars and expressed their intention to strike.

"If things are not equal, there will be a cry. Chen, Lu and other gentlemen cannot die in vain. We will make them pay with blood. If the court does not strictly find out the murderer, we will not go to school for a day!"

Li Zhi, who came to the south of the Yangtze River, personally paid homage to the poor man who was slaughtered on this day.

And the Xingming Academy student who came with him, Ge Zisheng, was originally the younger brother of Ge Ziming, a general who died in the Anti-Japanese War. made his own claims.

The cold warriors responded one after another.

Lou Yi, a student student, also responded: "Strike is not enough, we have to launch a strike by traders and craftsmen who sympathize with us!"

As a result, the governor, Sun Wei, soon learned of this matter, and asked Du Ruojia: "What, all the classes are on strike, and there are still some who want to go on strike?"

Du Ruojia nodded: "It is generally accepted that we should send troops to directly suppress it?"
