Chapter 608 This is just the beginning

Early the next morning, the appointment edict issued from the Sili Supervisor to the cabinet made the cabinet and the five ministers shocked!

Cao Qincheng was appointed as the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, and also commanded 2,000 elite soldiers from Jingdong to protect the capital.

Sun Chengzong looked at the edict and sighed with a look of confusion. "The emperor thinks things are not lively enough, and it's a little bit of fire."

Shen Yongmao was most worried and looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Georgia Sun, I can mobilize the patrol battalion in case of any incident."

Sun Chengzong felt that it was optional. With the emperor's cautious personality, there would be no way to make a move like this, but he nodded and said, "Well, the patrol battalion is divided into two shifts, patrolling day and night, and you must not slackew."

At this time, if someone makes trouble, the fun will be great.

Shen Yongmao wrote down and said worriedly: "It's okay outside the city, but the two thousand cavalry in the city are not restricted."

Neither Fu Changzong nor Zhou Yingqiu spoke. The emperor was clearly adding to Wei Zhongxian, to let him do things, and to give him greater confidence and confidence, exposing himself.

The two of them knew it well and had no way to do anything, so they had to remain silent.

Xu Dahua followed them. He was silent.

Chen Xun from the Ministry of Justice pondered and said, "The Ministry of Justice has some people, so I can be wary of the Tiqi from the East Factory being a little short of it."

Bi Ziyan looked at the memorial and sighed in his heart that the emperor's writing was getting bigger and bigger, which shocked him.

Fortunately, everything is under control. Wei Zhongxian, an East Factory, cannot make a comeback. Bi Ziyan thought about it and said calmly, "This is not necessary to be paid attention to for the time being. There are two important things now: one is to continue to promote the 'new policy'. Regardless of whether it can be understood or not, we must control the direction of public opinion. Second, the details of the 'new policy' must be promulgated as soon as possible, and steadily advance, and pay attention to the actions of each province..."

Everyone nodded. Although tax reform was particularly important because summer grain was imminent, other matters could not be delayed.

Just as they were discussing, the fifty cavalry rushed out of the East Factory and ran straight to the East.

Along the way, people and animals were rushing around!

I don’t know how many eyes stared at the Dongchang. When the tiqi moved, countless people were terrified and ran around to tell each other.

At the same time, Chen Sowen faced the three ministers of Hejianfu, Damingfu, and Yongpingfu.

Naturally, such a government chief cannot be compared with him. He has no scruples when he is in power, but these three people are full of grievances and talk endlessly.

"Mr. Chen, after Magistrate Liu returned, he summoned the gentry. However, some were sick and some visited friends. They came in less than one or two. It was not because we were careless, but we were really powerless..." The head of the He.com mansion said with a bitter face.

"We are a huge man who is sleeping all night long and convinced only a dozen people, but now they are severe drought every year, either reducing production or not harvesting. There is really no excess food to hand over to the court..." The chief of the Daming Mansion also suffered a lot and told the difficulties.

"Our side is a little better, but the public is very resentful. The court is like plundering people's wealth and competing for profit with the people. Many rumors are very unpleasant, and the officials dare not repeat them..." Yong Pingfu's minister did not shirk responsibility, but raised the problem to another level.

Chen heard the face of the sound of the "gentle tax payment" policy, which comes from the Taizu system. There is nothing to argue about. The problem is that no tax has been paid for two hundred years. Now it has been suddenly restored. These gentry naturally have to make a big fuss and resist.

The key point is not here now, it is Wei Zhongxian!

He had more than 200 officials and more gentry handles. With his ruthless means, if he really moved, the entire Beizhili would be in a state of great success!

Chen Suwen didn't care about anything else and said coldly: "You know who Wei Zhongxian is. He took advantage of the last Shuntian Mansion fire case, and Jiannu's assassination case will definitely make a prison. Instead of caring about those gentry now, you should care about whether you have any handle on his hands!"

Wei Zhongxian's actions were so big that he had no intention of hiding anyone, so the three ministers naturally knew.

But so many people, including the entire Beizhili, do not believe that Wei Zhongxian dares to do this. It is not the Tianqi Dynasty now!

Although these people did not speak anymore, Chen Suwen could see their thoughts clearly, his expression was slightly dark. Just as he was about to speak, a man ran in and said anxiously, "Sir, the tiqi from the East Factory has left the capital and went to the Hejian Mansion!"

The face of the Hejianfu Gong Chief changed slightly, stood up with a bang, and shouted loudly, "What did you say? Wei Zhongxian sent the Tiqi to Hejianfu?" The law does not blame the people for joining the law, but if Wei Zhongxian alone attacks anyone, no one can escape!

Chen Suwen was worried and said with a cold face: "Shuntian Mansion has a 'integrity list'. Anyone who actively promotes the new court policy and pays taxes will be included in this list. Dongchang will not take action. You will discuss it yourself after you go back. If you don't give me an explanation within a day, you will be at your own risk!"

The few people present were nervous and wanted to leave and fly away.

Everyone in the capital was staring at the East Factory, staring at the ready-to-run Tiqi.

This is just the beginning!

Wu Chunfu became the Minister of Dali Temple and Cao Qincheng became the Minister of War. Both of them were hard-core eunuchs and now they are highly powerful and have the support of Wei Zhongxian. They are increasingly abrupt in the power structure of the capital.

The eunuch party, which had already been depressed and almost dissipated, suddenly gained power again. There were countless officials of all sizes leaning over in the capital, making the eunuch party's arrogance even more rampant.

As for the rules of the court, it is not worth mentioning in the face of power!

It takes a day to go to the river and the mansion. Even though the people in the capital are alert and nervous, they are still busy.

The Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Jieyu and others in the palace were as usual, and the people who were out of the palace would not be affected.

It’s just different from usual. Without the emperor’s palace, the gates of the inner court are locked, and no one can leave the palace without the imperial decree of the queen mother.

Hai Lanzhu was very happy. Even in the cage of the palace, it was fresher than the scene that Korqin had been doing for ten years. The food, clothing, housing and transportation here were different. It made her feel novel every day. She could occasionally go out of the palace to see her sister Bumubutai.

Bumu Butai's life was a bit bleak. As a barbarian and a sinner, she was treated harshly every day in the washing clothes bureau and worked day and night. After a while, her hands were rough and her expression was exhausted, like a yellow-faced woman. Fortunately, she was tough and endured silently. Jiannu Xiaozuo, who was hiding near her, has never dared to appear recently, and the Jinyiwei stared too tightly.

Zhu Zonghan secretly arrived in Shenyang a day ago, and the secret network of Liaodong Jinyiwei started to move instantly.

Instructions were issued through different channels, extending to every corner of Korqin.

Zhu Zonghan collected various intelligences and quietly deduced the "battle" plan with his group of people, his eyes covering Korqin.

He.jianfu.

The prefect Liu Fengzhong breathed a sigh of relief and finally sent away the emperor's fleet.

The thin master Bo followed Liu Fengzhong, grabbed his beard and said worriedly, "Sir, the emperor did not summon you, nor did he summon other adults. What is the meaning?"

Liu Fengzhong held his hands behind his back, erected his big belly, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, I'm not alone anyway. Go back, I'm going to try Liu Yuanwai's case today. Humph, if you don't peel him a little, he won't know how many eyes Mr. Ma's eyes!"

The chief clerk was stunned and hurriedly said, "Sir, the current right to judge cases is the court's rule that the Dali Temple in the Mansion is, our yamen has no power..."

Liu Fengzhong waved his hand and snorted coldly: "The court is the court. The people have complained in the yamen for hundreds of years. Have you ever seen Dali Temple? Besides, Dali Temple dares not give me face!"

In addition to the system, the corruption of the political corruption of the Ming Dynasty also included the collapse of control over the local government. In the local area, the prefects and counties were often local emperors, and others were unable to resist.

The Lord Bo looked hesitant, thought about it and nodded. In the Hejianfu, whatever they said was what they said!

They didn't know that the Tiqi from the East Factory had left Beijing and rushed over with righteousness.

The four major families of Northern Zhili, Zhao, Li, Zhang and Zhou, had already formed an alliance to jointly fight against the new policy of the court.

"Mr. Li, my ten thousand words are ready. I will send them to the Ministry of Revenue today to show the hearts of our gentry."

"Mr. Zhao, I have ordered someone to transfer the food. I have made a new account book and sent it to Shuntian Mansion at that time to see how he collects taxes!"

"Haha, I have transferred the land under my name to other people's names and divided it. The court has not asked me for me!"

"Boss Zhou, I have asked the tenants to write an exaggeration statement. This year, Northern Zhili has a severe drought and grain production will be reduced. Please ask the court to reduce tax-free grain..."
