Chapter 138 Shall we ask His Majesty to die?(1/2)
Li Rusong finally squeezed out 400,000 taels from the hands of King Dai.
I didn't know about this outsider if I did not use any special means. After he left Datong, the King of Dai said that he was sick and kept his door closed and never saw outsiders again...
I really don’t know if it’s physically or heart-wrenching.
This number also made Magui furious.
They're almost mad!
Xima Dong Li!
Xima was slapped by Dong Li and snatched the fat sheep. Nearly two hundred servants died, which is unbearable!
However, Ma Gui had no choice but to do anything, because Yang Feng's bottom line was very simple. If everyone makes money, it would be fine even if they really fight. However, there must be sufficient and reasonable explanations within the framework of the court, and Li Rusong had sufficient and reasonable explanations. It was Ma Chengen who forced the governor of Datong Mei Guozhen to prevent him from entering the city. This can be regarded as Ma Chengen's mutiny.
He took action to suppress the mutiny.
Ma Gui could threaten him and act like he wanted to take action, but as the general of Yansui Town, he could not cross the line without authorization.
It is one thing for his family to be the Right Guard of Datong, but it is another thing for him to be the general of Yansui.
He could take his servants home for urgent matters, but he could not take Yansui troops to cross the leap. If he crossed the border, he would have to punish him. Don't think that the court could not deal with him. He was the general of Yansui and was not the King of Yansui. It is true that he had elite servants, but there were a bunch of generals with servants in Yulin, the You family, the Du family, and the Jiang family. They all wanted to replace him.
Don't Juniper want to replace him?
He has to follow the rules.
So even if you are furious, you have to endure it.
Li Rusong's army continued to move forward, but only 400,000 taels of silver were sent directly to the capital.
The Sili Supervisor also quickly selected tax supervisors sent to various places, and then the eunuchs set off south, but it took them a long time to arrive.
The governor of Shandong, Xing Jie, also arrived in Kaifeng to take charge, commanding the three governors of Baoding, Henan, Fengyang, and Baoding, Henan, Shandong, and Fengyang, the four generals of Fengyang marched to Shandong to attack the rebel party, and vowed to restore his hometown in one fell swoop...
Well, he is from Qingzhou.
However, Governor Xing is a veteran and steadfast man, and will not be greedy for merit and advance recklessly. In addition, except for the general Du Tong of Baoding, the other three generals are also newly established, and their subordinates must be trained. Therefore, there is no hurry to enter the army for the time being, not to mention that Yan Shenggong is also a sage, and the three kings are also royal family members. They just raise troops because of misunderstandings, so they try to recruit them. In short, take it slowly and don’t worry.
So there was no war.
The Shandong counter-party did not attack either.
In fact, the only change in this rebellion was that the taxes that should be settled in Shandong were not settled in Beijing.
Those loyal ministers and righteous men from all over Shandong who actively participated were also not very enthusiastic about Jingnan, but they were very active in making money through Jingnan.
In short, after the announcement of Jingnan, the officials and gentry in Shandong quickly pieced together a so-called Jingnan Army of 50,000 people, and then forced the three families of King Lu, King De and King Qi to pay one million taels, and intercepted the taxes that Shandong should have been exempted as military expenses. In addition, they forced Yan Shenggong to pay 300,000 taels, and then began to train them to the Jingnan Army.
At the same time, officials from all over the country received donations from Jingnan in the name of Jingnan. Gentlemen from all over the country enthusiastically paid the donations, and then forced the poor to pay the donations. They didn't know whether it was 46 or 37 afterwards, but the gentry must have returned them in full.
This way of playing makes officials and gentry everywhere envious.
real.
It's so enviable.
So many people can't control their desires.
Then there were people in Henan who demanded the Jingshen, especially in Guide and other places, which openly commemorated the two loyal ministers Yuan and Yang...
Although they are not dead yet.
March.
In the early spring wind and sand of the capital, Liu Yiyan, a Shuji scholar in Hanlin Academy, pressed the hood on his head, turned into the alley next to him with disgust, and then hurriedly spit out the sand poured into his mouth. The slaves behind him quickly followed and then patted the dust on Liu Hanlin's body...
"Young Master, you're so young, you can't even hire a sedan chair."
He said in panic while slapping.
"You still know how to die!"
Maybe he was a little more powerful in slapping, and Liu Hanlin angrily raised his foot and kicked him down.
He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed...
"Look, this person looks like a dog!"
Several Red Turban soldiers walked by with a smile. One of them kicked the slave maliciously, and the latter fell to the ground, but even so, he maintained a kowtow posture.
"It's a dog!"
The Red Turban Army said with a smile.
Then the assholes walked by with a smile.
Liu Hanlin leaned against the wall, tried to pretend to be a smile, and looked at these troublemakers.
"Dog guy, don't even carry the sedan chair!"
He then cursed hatefully as their backs turned right at the entrance of the alley.
In recent months, the life of the officials and men is getting harder and harder. It is not easy to hire a sedan chair when going out. First, Yang Feng advocates a new life and opposes sitting in a sedan chair. He even judges carrying a sedan chair as if he is willing to be inferior. Second, the life of these troublemakers in the capital is getting better and better, and even those who carry a sedan chair are lazy. In this kind of weather, he would rather stay at home to avoid the wind and sand than come out to serve these great men.
So the big men can only walk by themselves.
"Get up, it's not entirely your fault!"
He looked at the slave lying on the ground and sighed.
At this time, it really highlights the value of such a good family slave. Of course, the main reason is that this family slave is brought from the family.
Not contaminated.
Very simple.
He then continued to move forward, and soon arrived at a door deep in the alley, then knocked on the door, and then opened the door inside. An old servant who was also uncontaminated opened the door and greeted Master Hanlin with a humble heart. He walked in and went straight to the second door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Xianggao, the Imperial College Supervisor, coming out, followed by Sun Shenxing, editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Ye Maocai, the head of the Ministry of Justice.
"What did Mr. Zhang say?"
Sun Shenxing asked.
"What else can I say? Of course I am patient. A group of old people are very angry. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later!"
Liu Hanlin said angrily.
"Honest, how can we endure it? If we hold on, the world will be in chaos. Li Rusong has revealed his true form, Ma Gui has revealed his true form, You Jixian has revealed his true form, these arrogant soldiers and generals have all been lured by the thief, and they have to show their true form one by one. These old people still have to endure it, and they have to make a long-term plan. If we hold on, it will not be Yang Feng, a thief, who is a thief, who is a thief, who is a thief, who is a thief, who is a thief, who is a thief who is in trouble, but this group of thiefs who are in trouble. As spring is coming, they actually have to transport grain to feed tigers!
Sure enough, old and stupid!"
Ye Maocai said angrily.
They all lived these days so crazy.
Every day they spend in the capital is like a torture!
Every day when you open your eyes, you will be traitors and bad people. Every day when you open your ears, you will be witchy. The air you breathe every day seems to be full of evil filth. Looking around, you can see a fog covering you, and you can see all the ghosts and monsters.
Oh, they are really going crazy, they can't breathe.
Outside the city, there are local tyrants who divide the land, and inside the city, there is a sea of blood surging...
The streets are red!
They automatically changed the scene to a sea of blood.
How could justice people like them bear it? Especially after the last killing, the blood behind Yang Feng faded during this period. The officials who were originally trembling with fear began to become less afraid, but they became brave one by one and began to tolerate him more and more. But the elders were still continuing the appeasement policy. Not only did they not fight against the traitors, but they gave in everywhere. Now they are actually preparing to hire civilian ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to transport grain to him by sea?
Are you old and confused?
Such a traitor would not let him starve to death with the unruly people, but he would even give them food?
This is ridiculous!
Of course, the main reason is that the grains were all born in the south of the Yangtze River, especially Sun Hanlin and Ye Zhushi. One of them entered Wuxi and the other ones, and there were also Liu Hanlin. Most of the grains in the capital were plundered from the families of these hardworking and kind gentry!
Tax supervisors were also sent.
Can a Fujianese like Ye Siye tolerate it?
"well!"
Ye Siye sighed.
"No, I can't continue like this. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will really be ruined."
Sun Hanlin said angrily.
"So what can we do? This traitor takes the emperor to command the princes. His Majesty is in his hands. We can't do anything about it!"
Ye Siye said.
"What if His Majesty is not in his hands?"
Liu Hanlin sneered.
"Who can save Your Majesty? The last time, Yuan and Yang, the two loyal ministers, tried. Even the three thousand members of the Li family were unable to break into the imperial city. What can we do? Besides, there is no loyalty or righteousness around us. Even the commanders of Ma were killed by the thief. The nobles of each family were all useless. They only know how to charm Yang. We only have a loyalty or righteousness, and we can only sigh in vain."
Ye Siye said.
"What if His Majesty dies?"
Liu Hanlin said slowly.
To be continued...
