Chapter 423: Yuan Chonghuan is dead


Zhu Xu naturally knew Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and this matter was also a temptation for him.

Pretending to think for a while, he raised his head and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Well, this matter should be handled by Wen Zhaoge, Brother Huang, you can handle it." ” Zhu Youzhen was relieved and said, "Obey." ” Zhu Xu smiled, knocked his fingers on the table, glanced at King Jing and Fu Changzong, and suddenly said to Zhu Youzhen: "Brother Huang, my Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, only fifteen provinces, it is too difficult to manage, I plan to split some big provinces, what do you think?"

” This matter has also been brewing in Zhu Xu's heart for a long time, not to mention other places, just Shaanxi/West, it is bigger than the three provinces of Jiangsu/Suzhou, An/Hui, and Zhejiang/Jiang in later generations.

Zhu Youzhen didn't think about this, thought about it for a while, and said: "The minister thinks it's okay, after going back, Wenzhao Pavilion will discuss with the Six Ministries and the Governor's Yuan, and then report to the emperor." ” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Well, this matter must be grasped quickly." ” Zhu Youzhen remembered in his heart that Zhu Xu wanted to collect taxes from the rich, and after listening to Zhu Xu's words, he raised his hand and said, "Yes, the minister will retire." ” But as soon as he finished speaking, he was shocked!

If there are a few more provinces in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention how many more officials there will be, just talking about the governors of each province, the governor is enough to make people break their heads and fight, not to mention, he, the prime minister who has always been weak and wants to expand his power!

He looked up at Zhu Xu deeply, and in his smile and nod, with a nervous mood, he turned around and left Wenzhao Pavilion.

At the same time, in front of the noon gate, Yuan Chonghuan, Wang Wensheng and others were pressed to the ground, and there were canes and officials of the criminal department on both sides, wielding thick sticks and hitting the buttocks of the five people fiercely.

The five people were biting the cloth in their mouths, their muscles were beating, their heads were covered with cold sweat, each stick made their bodies tremble, their buttocks were already stained red with blood, and the officials in prison were expressionless, silently counting the number of sticks.

The surrounding area was already full of people watching the excitement, all of whom were talking about each other.

"Isn't this Lord Yuan?

How did he get beaten?

” "You don't know yet, do you?

Jiannu bypassed Liaodong and broke into the Great Wall, he abandoned the city and fled!

” "Oh, that's the fight, who are those people?"

"Hey, they, it is said that they are under Zhang Guogong's hands, disobeying the military order and leading the troops to fight the Jiannu people!"

"This ......

How could he have been beaten and dared to fight with Jiannu, isn't that an iron-clad man?

” "It's all disobedience, why don't you fight?"

“……” "If you want me to say, these few people who took the initiative to fight should fight more, if it is when defending the city, they run out, think about the consequences......"

"Shh......h You don't know yet, do you?

That, the one next to Lord Yuan, is a clan relative, I heard that it is still the emperor's cousin......"

"Really, it's all fake?"

"Well, there is a notice over there, and the charges are clearly written, if you can't withstand eighty military sticks, you will be killed with a cane, and if you have endured, you will be removed from all military positions......"

"This ......

It's a bit heavy......"

"It's heavy, because they, I don't know how many more people died, they deserved it!"

The crowd of onlookers were watching the excitement, and none of them really sympathized with anyone, so they almost took a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them while watching.

I don't know how long it took, but the prisoner looked at the notebook in his hand, holding the brush and didn't know what was being recorded, and suddenly coughed.

The few people who beat Wang Wensheng and others will know, the stick is still raised high, and it will be the same if they continue to fight, but their strength has been greatly reduced.

Wang Wensheng, who was beaten more than 50 times, twitched the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were red and he whimpered a few times, not knowing whether it was excitement or pain.

Cai Xiao will also come to his senses, and his heart is dark, and he finally doesn't have to die.

Peng Mingyang and Wang Canghai are all like this, and the hot pain on their buttocks is much lighter, but the cold sweat on their heads still can't be stopped.

Compared with them, Yuan Chonghuan was not so lucky, he hit it with a stick, his eyes were wide open, he gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched one by one, stiffly holding up.

Less than seventy sticks lay there on their stomachs, not moving.

The executioner looked at it, raised his stick, and bent down to try Yuan Chonghuan's snort.

"Proceed with the execution."

The prisoner said expressionlessly.

The two officials hurriedly straightened up and continued to fight.

"This ......

It's really killing ......."

"You deserve it, you should be killed if you escape!"

"Yes, keep fighting, don't stop!"

"If he hadn't escaped, he wouldn't have had to kill so many people, it's a good fight!"

Some of the onlookers sympathized and some resented, and after all, they were all spectators.

Wang Wensheng saw that Yuan Chonghuan was already unconscious, took a few beats, blinked, and lay there motionless.

The corners of Cai Xiao's mouth moved, he stiffened his neck a few times, whined a few times, and was also 'unconscious'.

Peng Mingyang and Wang Canghai are not stupid, and they can't hold it one after another, and they all 'fainted'.

After beating with eighty sticks, the executioner probed the snorts of several people and said to the prisoner: "My lord, Yuan Chonghuan is out of breath, and the others are still alive." ” The prison officer's eyes flashed, and he still said expressionlessly: "Well, after the execution, let the respective families take it back." ” After he finished speaking, he walked towards an inner prison in front of the noon gate, and after saying a few words, he led the ten officials who had been executed, and turned back to the military headquarters.

The inner supervisor glanced into the distance, and also turned and entered the palace.

"Tsk, it's good to be a young man, you actually survived eighty sticks......"

"Yes, it's a pity for Yuan Chonghuan, I thought he could survive."

"You deserve to die, Daming has deserted so many generals over the years, and few have been killed......"

"Yes, it's just less killing!"

The people in front of the noon gate did not stop talking, and the people in the imperial study did not stop.

Zhu Xu looked at Fu Changzong and said: "Uncle, the imperial brother's discussion is a discussion, the actions of the household department cannot be stopped, taking advantage of the opportunity of political reform, the household department should be arranged in various states and counties, purchase the excess grain in the hands of the people, and store it in the top ten granaries."

Don't spare the silver, the silver is dead, and the grain is the root of life. ” Zhu Xu told Fu Changzong about this matter, and Fu Changzong was also starting to make arrangements, and when he heard this, he responded: "Yes, the household department is already stepping up the arrangements." ” Zhu Xujaw continued: "Also, industries that consume grain, such as wine-making and the like, should be controlled, in short, to save grain, there will be too many places to use grain in the future." ” Fu Changzong responded and silently wrote it down.

Zhu Xu's words continued: "The matter of purchasing people's grain is led by the household department and should be arranged as a top priority."

I will also let the eldest brother use the network of the Chamber of Commerce to buy from merchants on a large scale, and I will ask the governors and governors of various places to cooperate......"

After a long time, Zhu Xu's words stopped, took a sip of tea, turned his eyes to Zhu Luhu, King Jing, and said: "The Governor's Yuan, the next work is to sort out my Ming law, start sorting it out from the time of Taizu, pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, this is to promulgate the world, if there are not enough people, you can call it from the Hanlin Academy, the Government Affairs Yuan, and even the local government, it must be perfected, don't criticize people......"

Zhu Luhu knew very well in his heart that the Governor's Yuan was not only a yamen for revising the law, but also an important yamen for implementation, and raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "The ministers obey the order!"

” Sun Chengzong and the others did not speak, but their hearts were like mirrors, with the harshness of the laws during the Taizu period, not to mention everything, just talking about the disposal of corruption can cause a backlash from officials all over the world!

However, they also knew that the emperor clearly wanted to reshape the Ming Dynasty with heavy classics, and while worrying, the expectations for the Zhongxing Ming Dynasty became more and more intense.

After Zhu Xu said this, he turned to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting and others, and said in a deep voice: "The military department must rectify military discipline again, and disobedience will never be allowed to regenerate!"

If there is any more, not only the generals who lead the army, but also the officials of the military department will be punished together!

” Sun Chengzong and the others were shocked, and hurriedly raised their hands and said, "The minister obeys the order!"

” After talking for a long time, Zhu Xu let the group of people leave the imperial study.

After they were all gone, Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, the north could rest assured for the time being and concentrate on internal affairs.

He habitually picked up the notebook on his right, and was stunned as soon as he opened it.

This is Bi Ziyan's recital, which begins with the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, saying that he has killed too many people in the south, and that on average, senior officials above the fifth rank are killed or arrested every day, and the southerners are panicked and the officials are worried.

Zhu Xu silently calculated the time, Wei Zhongxian had been in the south for more than a month, and it was time to call him back.

Zhu Xu continued to read, Bi Ziyan also described in detail the progress of the political reform in the south, but it was better than expected, as a messenger, plus the title of emperor, Bi Ziyan participated in a lot of various large and small literary meetings in the south, and the banquet was also full, but quietly gradually stabilized the southern Shilin group, so as not to have too much dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

Zhu Xu nodded, put it aside, and then reviewed the notebook.

In the Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Youzhen held a cabinet meeting, and when he finished talking about taxation, everyone was shocked, and then kept silent.

Jiang Dejing, Qian Longxi, Zhou Yanru and others all tightened their brows and looked vigilant.

The imperial court has added a lot of taxes in recent years, but it has never taxed the rich, but Jingyang Palace has moved out of the law of Taizu, this is the ancestral system, they have no way to refute it, but they can't agree with it, it is not others who have the most acres, it is they these eunuchs, more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, how many eunuchs are there?

Who would dare to tax them?

There can only be silence.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know, he didn't speak, he didn't supervise, and said indifferently: "Think about this matter after you go back, and discuss it tomorrow."

There is another thing, the emperor thinks that the provinces are too large and not conducive to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and wants to redraw the provinces, what do you think?

” Everyone's eyes lit up, and they realized at the first time that Daming would have countless more official positions, and they also had a lot of apprentices and grandchildren, and they could be arranged by their fellow villagers!

Jiang Dejing glanced at the others and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang, the lower officials agree, with the territory of my Ming Dynasty, it is okay to demarcate five more provinces, but redrawing the provincial boundaries involves a lot of things, and it needs to be carefully discussed, especially those local feudal officials." ” In this matter, the most damaging thing is these feudal officials.

Qian Longxi's heart jumped, and he raised his hand and said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials ask for orders, go out of Beijing to inspect the provinces, and persuade the governors and governors to cooperate with the redrawing of the imperial court." ” Zhou Yanru frowned, such a good opportunity was preempted by Qian Longxi, his mind changed, and he also said: "Lord Wang, this matter is very important, you might as well follow the example of the Yamen in response to disasters, set up a domain reform yamen, and make unified plans." ” Zhou Yanru's mind is very simple, Qian Longxi will go to the place, and he will master the capital to see who will win more!

Jiang Dejing was a little worse, he was a little anxious, and he also remedied: "Lord, the division of provinces needs to be cautious, after the minister goes back, make a sample map and present it to the prince for reference." ” Jiang Yongde's words are also very clear, he holds the planning power of the province, and those feudal officials still don't come to visit?

Otherwise, one or two rich county governments will be allocated to others!

Zhu Youzhen has also been the prime minister for two years, and he has learned that he is very transparent about the thoughts of these people, his expression sank, and he said: "Let's do this first." ” With that, he got up and walked to his room.

Jiang Dejing, Qian Longxi, and Zhou Yanru didn't care much about Zhu Youzhen's emotions, and the matter of increasing the province was too important, so they couldn't help but care.

They each figured out their ideas, and did not stay in Wenzhao Pavilion, but left the palace one after another, gathered the disciples of the sect, and secretly discussed.

Zhu Youzhen entered the class room, pushed open the window, and looked at the blue sky from afar, but in the bottom of his heart, his body was full of dry heat.

Wang Chengen stood in the corner not far from him, like an invisible person, silent.

He looked at Zhu Youzhen's back, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

He knew that Zhu Youzhen was dissatisfied with the ministers outside, and had been looking for real talents, but he had never found them.

Zhu Youzhen was impetuous, and he couldn't calm down for a while, so he turned around and said, "Let's go, go out and take a walk." ” Wang Chengen opened the door and slowly followed Zhu Youjian out of the palace.

Zhu Youzhen has always been self-denying and has always had strict control over his emotions, and today's situation is still extremely rare.

Rice/Fat County.

Huang Laier was paraded with heavy weapons, he owed a lot of debts, was sued by the creditor to the yamen, although the post station treatment was good, and he advanced a lot of silver, but the debt was high, a drop in the bucket, or was heavily sentenced by the yamen, and there were even rumors that the creditor bought the jailer and wanted to kill him in prison.

Huang Lai'er was tall and mighty, with a flail, a resentful face, and both eyes were full of resentment.

Song Xiance watched in the crowd, frowning, Huang Laier In his opinion, he is a man who values love and righteousness, except for spending money lavishly, there are no other evil deeds, and he shouldn't just die in prison!

He thought for a while, took out a piece of jade from his arms, looked at it again and again, gritted his teeth, and turned around and walked towards the pawnshop.

That night, Song Xiance rescued Huang Laier from prison through the yamen.

Huang Lai'er suffered a lot of punishment, and Song Xiance said while helping him: "Huang Lai, what are you going to do in the future?"

” Although Huang Laier was rescued, they also made it clear that Huang Laier could not continue to stay in Mi/Fat and had to leave overnight.

Huang Lai'er limped, the anger in his heart was hard to dissipate, and he said hatefully: "I'll kill that Ai Zhao later, Kang Nian, do you dare to accompany me?"

” Song Xiance has not been in a good mood recently, and the imperial court political reform has cut off his road to the imperial examination, not to mention, King Nalu is still eyeing him, he thinks that the people of Shaanxi/West are not happy, and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, kill it, it's a big deal to leave Shaanxi/West!"

” Huang Lai'er was overjoyed, patted Song Xiance's shoulder vigorously, and said, "Good brother!

In the future, if I soar, I will never be able to benefit from you!

” Song Xiance helped Huang Lai'er and laughed: "Okay, the sky and the earth are big, there will always be a time for us to arrive!"

” The two of them stole two knives from the blacksmith's shop and went to Ai Zhao's house.

Huang Laier lied that he was here to repay the money, but Ai Zhao was defenseless, Huang Laier, Song Xiance stabbed Ai Zhao to death directly!

Huang Lai'er hid Ai Zhao under the bed and said to Song Xiance, "Let's go, go back and get something, go to Gan/Zhou, I have relatives there to be officials!"

” Song Xiance buried the knife and said, "Okay, leave overnight!"

” The two walked towards Huang Lai'er's house in a dark way, and saw that the lights were still on in the house from a distance.

Huang Lai'er didn't care and strode back.

Song Xiance vaguely saw two figures, and his heart was stunned.

"Dead ghost, hurry up, Huang Lai is in prison, he can't come back!"

A woman's delicate voice came out.

"Hehe, I know you little gluttonous cat can't stand it......"

This is a man's flirtatious/playful voice.

"Hurry up, you have to go back at dawn......"

"What are you afraid of, when Huang Lai'er dies, these are our ......"

Huang Lai'er was already close, his temples jumped straight when he listened, and his eyes were extremely vicious.

Although he spends money like running water, he has never treated this mother-in-law at home badly, and he never expected that she would steal people!

He grabbed the shovel from the wall, roared, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

The adulterer struck ******* his shovel directly at the adulterer.

The adulterer was carrying his gun and mounted his horse, and turned around in a hurry, but before he could hide, a shovel struck him in the chest, causing him to scream.

Huang Lai's daughter-in-law was shocked, and scolded while getting dressed: "You are a bad seed, you dare to come back, put it down for me, otherwise I will make you look good!"

” "Slut!"

Huang Lai'er was furious, and the shovel swung even harder, striking the adulterer's head, and the blood flowed from a few knocks, staining the bedding red.

The daughter-in-law was shocked, pointed at Huang Lai'er and shouted: "Li Hongji, you really dare to kill, I will go to the county government to sue you!"

” Huang Lai'er is nickname, his original name is Li Hongji, seeing that this mother-in-law is ruthless and unrighteous, he hated madness, waved a shovel, and roared: "I'll let you sue!"

I'll let you steal people!

Slut!

Slut!

” Li Hongji roared angrily, and the shovel also hit his daughter-in-law's head at once, until her eyes were wide open and she fell straight down, then she woke up and stopped.

Song Xiance knew that his mother-in-law was stealing people, and seeing that he had killed two people in a row, he hurriedly came over and grabbed him and said, "Hurry up, it's too late to go!"

” Li Hongji's heart was cold, he came to his senses, and hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets, found a dozen taels of silver, and ran away with Song Xiance.

Just when Li Hongji killed people and fled, Wang Zishun, a native of Han/Cheng, led more than 3,000 people to surround Han/Cheng, and Yang He, the governor of Shaanxi/West, was overstretched and had no time to deal with it, but it fell in half a day, and the peasant army was greatly invigorated, gathering 30,000 people in just two days, and the troops went south, pointing directly to Xi/An, and the whole Shaanxi/West earthquake!

The news soon spread to the capital, so that the imperial court cadres were greatly alerted, and the order of the military department flew to the three provinces of Shan/Xi, Shaanxi/Xi, and Si/Sichuan, requiring garrisons and standing armies to gather and work together to quell the chaos!
