Zhu Linwei, the King of Yongxing, did not discuss with the Jinxia royal family, bribed an officer named Xia from Kinmen for a large sum of money and left the port for Nandu. After wandering on the sea for 16 days, Zhu Linwei finally got ashore at Jinshanwei in Songjiang. Because of the bumpy sea, Zhu Linwei's two-year-old son unfortunately died of illness, which made Zhu Linwei very sad. But he thought that he was still young and could have reborn in the future, so his heart was much weaker.

After the ship docked, Zhu Linwei's guard and the old official who escaped from the Tang Dynasty's mansion went to the local government to report that the Jinshan Guard was originally under the jurisdiction of Huating County. After the Taiping Army occupied Songjiang, it withdrew the Jinshan Guard and was still under the jurisdiction of Huating. However, the Huating County Magistrate, Zhu Bo and others were locked up a month ago, and there was no one in charge in the county government.

The old official and the guards were both surprised that Jiangnan had been restored, so why was there no one in charge of the government? After inquiring from many sources, some people who knew the inside story guided them to go to the Qingkuansi Department in the west of the city, saying that the Qingkuansi Department is in charge of all the affairs in the county today.

The old official didn't know what kind of yamen Qingkuan was. He thought it was a county yamen set up by the Taiping Army, so he found the yamen with the guards. When he arrived at the door, he was shocked. He saw hundreds of gentry chained there by big shackles, allowing the sun to be exposed. From time to time, some gentry couldn't bear it, so he shouted "Willing to hand over", and then soldiers came to take off the shackles and led him into the corps. After a while, the gentry walked out of the corps dejectedly, with his face as ugly as if he had owed a lot of silver.

The old officials and the guards didn't know where the trouble happened, and they had something important, so they inquired in detail. They were about to come forward to call a soldier, but they saw the gate of the ministry open again. Then they heard the sound of gongs and drums. Then they saw six or seven gentry wearing big red flowers in their chests, holding bright red paper in their hands, and walked out happily. There were also a group of officials following behind, all smiling and celebrating the gentry.

The old official was dazzled and could not see what was written on the red paper in the hands of the gentry. A literate guard could see it and whispered: "Dada payer? Active owed owed owed owed ? What does it mean?"

Look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what the “big taxpayer” or “active debt collection household” are. The old official stayed in the Tang Palace in his early years, and has seen a lot of the world over the years. He has figured out that it may be related to how much money and grain is paid. In the past, whether it was the court or the local government, there has never been such a commendation. I don’t know how to make these things now.

The commended gentry were a little embarrassed to see the "comrades" who were still shackled in the sun, but they quickly adjusted their mentality and walked past them with their heads raised their heads and from time to time, they were still arrogant and deliberately turned the certificates in their hands, so that these "comrades" who refused to pay taxes could see clearly.

When the gentry basking in the sun saw this, they were so humming, but they were too lazy to scold or sarcastic, because the sun had already lost their temper. Some people are suffering from physical and spiritual suffering. Should they grit their teeth and hold on to the end or spend money to buy comfort?

The people from the Loans and Reimbursement Department who sent those big taxpayers to see the group of people in the Yongxing Palace. Seeing that they were all dressed in official uniforms, they were stunned. An older official stepped forward a few steps and asked who they were. At this time, someone in the department shouted: "I've posted a list!"

"Zhang Ban?"

The gentry who was shackled and the gentry who were going home with certificates were attracted by the shouting, and even the old officials and guards also subconsciously looked at the gate.

With hundreds of eyes on, the two soldiers ran out of the gate with a yellow list, and then one painted paste on the wall, and the other put up the yellow list in his hand.

An official walked to the yellow list and glanced at it, then said loudly: "Jiangsu Governor's Office, Jiangsu Qingluo General Administration jointly issued a document: 17 people in Huating County, Huang Yimin, Lu Chengdong, Zhao Qingguo, and Xu Yuanjun all defeated the scholars; 38 people in Wang Deshui, Zhang Songlin, Zhou Guozheng, and Dong Changjun all defeated the scholars to show their respect for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man shattered in shackles, "My juren's fame!"

A middle-aged scholar next to him also felt weak and tears fell: "Ten years of hard work, how can you say it is to be revolutionized? Why did the court treat us scholars so cruelly!"

The famous gentry and scholars on the list were really heartbroken. Many people were crying and some were cursing the court for being foolish.

The official who read the list snorted and cursed, "Don't howl, I'll ask you to make up for the tax arrears, but you'll be a rooster. Now, the list has been published. Not only has the fame and fortune been removed, but the tax arrears still have to be compensated, so why bother!"

Another official from the Qing Dynasty sneered and said, "It is said that the court is cruel to you, but you will be soft-hearted when you are? If it weren't for your iron roosters, would our Ming Dynasty have caused trouble to the Manchus!"

After hearing this, some gentry was dissatisfied and wanted to refute it, but after most of the day, they couldn't stand their legs and feet, and they didn't have the strength to speak. Some gentry drooped their heads and couldn't say anything. Three gentry no ones on the list immediately shouted their wishes and then ran into the corps like running, fearing that their fame and fortune would be called a revolution. Some people took the lead, but it was also related to fame, and they couldn't stand it. Most of the gentry who were shattered were shaken. Soon, one after another, the sound of "wishes and prayers" kept ringing. Seeing that all the gentry were enlightened, the officials from the Qingkuan Department were also very happy and led them into the procedures one after another.

Seeing that everyone was running into the department, the old official was busy calling people, but the older official turned around and looked at them and asked, "Who are you?

The old official hurriedly said, "We are from the Yongxing Prince's Mansion."

Those guards knew that this place was under the rule of the Taiping Army and were not on Kinmen Island, so they did not dare to show any identity as guards in the royal palace.

"Yongxing Prince's Mansion? Which Yongxing King?" The senior official from the Qingkuansi Department obviously did not know about the existence of Yongxing King.

The old official was a little embarrassed, so he told me that King Yongxing was the son of the Tang vassal in the past and the current emperor's nephew. He also said that King Yongxing had been in Jinxia and made a special trip back to Nandu to pay homage to his uncle. The ship had a problem outside Jinshan, so he had to stop in Jinshan.

When he heard that it was the current emperor's nephew who arrived at Jinshanwei, the senior official was shocked and did not dare to delay, and said, "Wait a minute, I will report it to you now."

After the senior officer quickly stepped in and communicated, a guard of the royal palace secretly asked a soldier what kind of play was performed in front of the Qingkuansi Gate.

The soldier said, "These Diao Gentlemen are unwilling to pay the food. The court ruled them with the king's law and forced them to pay the taxes."

"Can this still happen?" The guard was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "These people are all famous."

"So what if you have fame? Wu Weiye knows it? The second place in the Chongzhen Dynasty was just like it. And the Tanhualang of the Tartars was just enough. Our general said that no matter who you are, as long as you owe taxes, they will be dismissed as civilians. Anyone who takes the initiative to pay food and taxes, no matter whether you have fame or no fame, will be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty in the future. The court will treat everyone equally and never be biased. No matter where you are or what happens, the court will decide for you. Is this called the new dynasty's new policy?"

"New dynasty's new policy? Are those with fame and fortune the same as those without fame?"

The old official and a group of guards were stunned by the news revealed by the soldier. Wouldn't this say that Mu Le Zi was on par with the scholars and the officials?

When he heard the official said that the emperor's nephew, King Yongxing, came to Jinshanwei, and was surprised by Tang Xiao, who was presiding over the Qingkuo in Huating, because he had never heard of the emperor and had a nephew alive before, and only knew that the emperor had only one niece. But he didn't know where a nephew appeared. If this was true, wouldn't it mean that King Yongxing would be the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later?!

Tang Xiaoxian was shocked, but he did not dare to neglect the matter. He hurriedly came out to meet the people from the Yongxing Palace, and then took a group of subordinates to the dock to welcome the Yongxing King.
