Zhu Linwei, the king of Yongxing, did not discuss with the Jinxia clan, bribed an officer surnamed Xia in Kinmen with a lot of money, and set off for the southern capital without permission.
After 16 days at sea, Zhu Linwei finally went ashore at Jinshanwei in Songjiang.
Because of the turbulence on the sea, Zhu Linwei's two-year-old son unfortunately died of illness, which made Zhu Linwei very sad.
But thinking that he is still young and can regenerate in the future, this sadness is much lighter.
After the ship docked, Zhu Linwei's guards and the old official who escaped from the Tang Palace's mansion went to the local government to pay their respects.
Jinshanwei was originally under the rule of Huating County, and after the Taiping army occupied Songjiang, they withdrew Jinshanwei and still governed by Huating.
Only this Huating Zhixian and the lord Bo and others were locked up a month ago, and there was no one in charge of the county office.
The old official and the guards were all surprised, Jiangnan had been recovered, why was there no one in charge of the government.
After many inquiries, someone who knew the inside story instructed them to go to the west of the city to clear the debts, saying that the affairs of the county were all in charge of the debts.
The old official didn't know what kind of yamen the Debt Division was, but thought it was the county government set up by the Taiping Army, so he and the guards found the Debt Division, but when they arrived at the door, they were taken aback, but they saw hundreds of gentry locked there by the big shackles, and let the sun shine.
From time to time, some gentry could not bear it, so they shouted "willing to pay", and then a soldier came to take off the flail and lead him into the division.
In a few moments, the gentleman walked out of the division dejectedly, and his face was as ugly as if he owed a lot of money.
The old officials and the guards did not know which of the troubles was going on, and they had something important, so they had no intention of inquiring in detail, and were about to go forward to call a soldier, but they saw the door of the division open again, and then they listened to the sound of gongs and drums, and immediately saw six or seven gentry wearing big red flowers on their chests, each holding a red and bright paper in their hands, and walked out happily.
He was followed by a group of officials, all smiling, and couldn't help but congratulate the gentry.
The old official was dazzled and couldn't see what was written on the red paper in the hands of the gentry, but a literate guard could see it, and whispered: "What does it mean for a large taxpayer to pay off his debts?"
A group of guards, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the "big taxpayers" and "active debtors" are.
The old official spent time in the Tang Palace's mansion in his early years, and he has seen a lot of the world over the years, but he figured out that it may have something to do with the amount of money and food paid.
It's just that in the past, whether it was the imperial court or the local government, there had never been such a commendation, and I don't know how to do this now.
The gentry who had been commended were a little embarrassed when they saw the "comrades" who were still in the sun in the shackles, but they quickly adjusted their mentality, walked in front of them with their heads held high, and from time to time deliberately deviated the certificates in their hands with vigor, so that these "comrades" who refused to pay their taxes could see clearly.
When the gentry who were basking in the sun saw this, they snorted, but they were too lazy to scold or ridicule them, because the sun had made them lose their temper for a long time.
Some people are now suffering from physical and mental torment, whether to grit their teeth and hold on to the end, or spend money to buy comfort.
The people in the debt settlement division who sent those few large taxpayers out saw a group of people from the Yongxing Palace, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that they were all wearing official uniforms.
An older clerk stepped forward a few steps forward to ask who they were, when he heard someone in the department shouting, "It's time to make a list" "Zhang Bang" The gentry who were in flail and the few gentry who were about to go home with the award certificates were attracted by the shouts, and even the old officials and guards subconsciously looked towards the gate.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, two soldiers rushed out of the gate with a yellow list, and then one brushed the paste on the wall, and the other pasted the yellow list in his hand.
A clerk walked under the yellow list and looked at it, and then read it aloud: "Jiangsu Governor Yamen and Jiangsu Debt Clearance Bureau jointly issued a document: Huang Yimin, Lu Chengdong, Zhao Qingguo, and Xu Yuanjun of Huating County are all famous and famous; Wang Deshui, Zhang Songlin, Zhou Guozheng, Dong Changjun 38 people all show their talents and fame to show respect" As soon as the words fell, I saw a fat man who was in a flail screaming: "My fame" A middle-aged literati next to him was also soft, and two lines of tears fell: "Ten years of fame in the cold window, how can you say that you will be reformed, why does the court treat us and other scholars so cruelly" The gentry and scholars on the list will really be completely cold, and many people will cry bitterly there, and even curse the mediocrity of the court there.
The official who read the list snorted and scolded: "Don't howl, I told you to make up for the tax arrears, and give birth to an iron rooster, but now it's good, the list has come down, not only has the fame been removed, but the tax arrears still have to be made up, why bother."
Another official sneered: "I said that the court treats you ruthlessly, but you will be soft-hearted when you treat the court, if it weren't for your iron roosters, our Ming Dynasty would have called the Tartars a scourge?"
Hearing this, some gentry were dissatisfied and wanted to refute it, but after being exposed to the sun for most of the day, their legs and feet couldn't stand, so how could they still have the strength to speak.
Some gentry hung their heads and couldn't say anything.
There are three nameless ones on the list, who immediately shouted their wishes, and then ran into the division as if they were running, lest they would be one step slower, and their own fame would also be called revolutionary.
Someone took the lead, and it was a matter of fame, and it was really unbearable, and most of the gentry who were in the flail were shaken.
Soon, the sound of "willing to deliver" rang out one after another.
Seeing that all the gentry were enlightened, the officials of the debt settlement department were also overjoyed, and they led people in to go through the formalities.
Seeing that everyone had run away from the division, the old official was busy calling people, but then the old official turned around and looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"
The old official hurriedly said: "We are from the Yongxing Palace." ” Those guards knew that this was under the rule of the Taiping Army, not on Kinmen Island, so they didn't dare to pose as palace guards.
"Which Yongxing King of Yongxing Wangfu" The elderly officials of the Qing Debt Division obviously did not know the existence of the Yongxing King.
The old official was a little embarrassed, so he told him that King Yongxing was the son of the former Tang Dynasty and the nephew of the current emperor.
King Yongxing has been in Jinxia, and this time he made a special trip back to Nandu to meet his uncle.
The ship had a problem off the coast of Jinshan, and had to dock at Jinshan as a last resort.
When he heard that it was the emperor's nephew and nephew who had arrived in Jinshanwei, the old official was shocked, did not dare to delay, and said: "Wait a minute, I will give you a farewell." ” After the old official walked in quickly, a palace guard quietly asked a soldier what kind of play was played in front of the Qing Clan.
The soldier said: "These gentry refused to pay the grain, and the court ruled them with the king and forced them to pay off the taxes. ” "It's still like this" The guard was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "These people are all famous." ” "How can you be famous, Wu Weiye knows that the example of the Chongzhen Dynasty is not that it will be reformed. and the Tanhualang of the Tartars, it's just a matter of talking.
Our marshal said, no matter who you are in the future, as long as you owe taxes and don't pay, you will all be dismissed as civilians.
Anyone who takes the initiative to pay grain and taxes, whether you are famous or not, will be citizens of the Ming Dynasty in the future, the court will treat everyone equally, and will not be biased, no matter where you are, what happens, there is a court to make decisions for you, this is called the new dynasty and the new policy to know not" "The new dynasty and the new policy have the same meritorious and unmeritorious ones" The old official and the guards were stunned by the news revealed by the soldiers, didn't this mean that the mud legs were on an equal footing with the scholars and the officials Hearing that it was the emperor's nephew, King Yongxing, came to Jinshanwei, Tang Xiaoxian, who was presiding over Huating's arrears, was taken aback, because he had never heard that the emperor had a nephew alive, but only that the emperor had only one niece.
But out of nowhere, a nephew appeared, if this is true, doesn't it mean that after a hundred years of the emperor, this King Yongxing will be the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty Tang Xiaoxian was shocked, but he didn't dare to slack off on this matter, and hurriedly came out to meet the people of Yongxing Palace, and then took a group of subordinates to the dock to welcome King Yongxing.
At this time, hundreds of miles away in Yuyao County, Zhejiang, outside the Yamen, a 30-year-old teacher finally made up his mind and beat the big drum outside the Yamen with the courage to beat the big drum outside the Yamen, and when the errand brought him to the magistrate who hurriedly went to the court, the teacher did not wait for the magistrate to ask what was the drum beating, and said loudly: "I am Zhu Cihuan" oshow7 t1706231537:
