Chapter 878

Wenyuan Pavilion in the eastern part of the Forbidden City is the place most yearned for by civil officials of the Ming Dynasty.But at this time, there are only a few people working here.It is obvious that the government affairs of the whole country are concentrated here.But at this time, the few people here did not deal with government affairs much.

I saw the assistant ministers Zhang Zhifa and Xue Guoguan standing in front of the chief minister of the cabinet. Among them, Zhang Zhifa put a memorial on the table and said with a little hesitation: "The content here is based on the ancestral regulations and the chief minister's regulations. Meaning, some changes have been made."

After hearing this, Wen Tiren picked up the memorial and watched it.Needless to say, he passed on the will of Emperor Chongzhen to two assistant ministers and asked them to draft this memorial.

Seeing Shoufu watching, Zhang Zhifa continued: "Although it is based on the ancestral system, it is quite effective in curbing the luxurious atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River. But... But at this time, the luxurious atmosphere has become, just like a serious illness of a person. Using this Strong medicine, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate, right?"

The rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly powerful people, or there are people behind them.If the content of this memorial is implemented at once, it will be implemented nationwide, and this will have a great impact.Zhang Zhifa was very worried, fearing that there would be trouble.

"What's wrong?" Xue Guoguan had a different opinion, and immediately retorted: "This is the ancestral system, and they can still make trouble? Is it really the court's display?"

Speaking of which, seeing that Zhang Zhifa seemed to want to refute, Xue Guoguan didn't give him a chance, and immediately added: "Last year, I fought against North Korea, Liaodong, and the grasslands in the Ming Dynasty. That was not a great victory! Anyone who dares to make trouble, come and try it!" "

While they were talking, Wen Tiren had already finished reading the memorial, and he slowly closed the memorial, seeming to think for a while before saying: "If the contents of this memorial were at the beginning of the founding of the country, naturally there would be no Any problem. Now it is indeed as Shengyu said, the style of luxury in the south of the Yangtze River has become a reality.”

Speaking of this, he paused and then sighed: "You are not from the south, so you may not understand it. The old man is from the south, and I am deeply moved by this. I deeply agree with the emperor's request. However, the old man feels that this It’s better to be cautious.”

As Wen Tiren said, he looked up at Xue Guoguan and said, "The successive victories in the north, to put it bluntly, probably not many people care about it in the south. I'm afraid it won't be very useful to try to coerce."

The implication is that the prestige of the imperial court is not as good as it was at the beginning of the founding of the country. The southerners don't care much about the northern side. What if they are defeated, so what if they win?

"How about this, the old man will think about this memorial again, and then report it to the emperor." Wen Tiren clapped the memorial in his hand and said, "At the same time, I will remind the emperor to think twice, this matter should be cautious, and it is best to issue it when there is a good opportunity world."

He had come to a conclusion, and the two assistant ministers stopped talking, and could only do so first.

Similar to the cabinet side, on the side of the supervisor of ceremonies, Cao Huachun, the palm seal eunuch, also organized the eunuchs to discuss this matter, and finally drafted a memorial.With Cao Huachun's scheming, he was naturally a little worried about such a big change in national policy, and wanted to remind the emperor.

At this time, despite the noise coming from outside the house, Emperor Chongzhen was drinking tea leisurely in the house, not caring at all.

On the contrary, Concubine Tian Gui became a little worried when she heard the noise outside.When she was about to say something, Liu Xingzuo came in and reported that he had learned a list of wealthy merchants from Fujian and Guangdong from Chen Youtong.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Let's pass it on to Wang Cheng'en, and let him investigate!"

After hearing this, Liu Xingzuo agreed, and when he turned around to leave, he hesitated again, and finally turned back and said earnestly: "Master, the so-called gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, or you and your wife will change places first, and here we will leave." The villain will handle it?"

Concubine Tian Gui moved her eyebrows when she heard this, and immediately moved closer to Emperor Chongzhen, and said softly: "Master, this is their place, and there is no government. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. You are a body of ten thousand gold." , it shouldn't be a little risk. And it's more than enough for him to deal with this kind of trivial matter. I think it's better to put safety first!"

Hearing that both of them were persuading him, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "If you just want to solve the matter of Xingba, I really don't need to come forward in person. But I have another plan, staying here is It's the best. Besides, with thorough preparations, nothing happens, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo and Tian Guifei glanced at each other, and both could see the hidden worry in each other's eyes.It is not suitable for women to discuss political affairs, so Liu Xingzuo finally asked, "Master, is this important? If there is something, let the villain come forward, I believe that as a villain, it is enough to do it!"

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled after hearing this, "Do you still remember what happened during the Wanli period? Do you have any impression of "The Tombstone of Five People"?"

Liu Xingzuo was still a little confused when he first heard about the events of the Wanli period, but when the emperor mentioned "The Tombstone of Five People", he suddenly realized that he was speechless for a while.

Concubine Tian Gui usually doesn't care about political affairs, nor is she interested in learning about the past.At this time, hearing Emperor Chongzhen's mention and seeing Liu Xingzuo's expression, he couldn't help becoming curious, and asked, "My lord, what happened to "The Tombstone of Five People"?"

Emperor Chongzhen tapped on the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "The days of Taiping have passed for a long time, and those in the south have forgotten the majesty of the imperial court. Civil servants from the south of the Yangtze River often point out that a deer is a horse, and turn black and white. The pens of those people , Sometimes it’s much more powerful than a knife.”

Having said that, he looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "What I'm going to do will involve a lot, and it's not just for the bullying of Nanxun Town. Once you are only asked to come forward, those people will have something to say and a pen." You can’t take it with a single stroke. If it were me who was involved in this matter personally, I would be able to use thunderous tactics, and no one would dare to speak nonsense again!”

Concubine Tian Gui was still a little confused, but Liu Xingzuo understood.Most of the eunuchs sent by Emperor Wanli to the south were beaten to death by the southerners, and it was said that the tyranny of the eunuchs caused the civil uprising.Among other things, there have been civil uprisings in nearby Suzhou.In fact, Jin Yiwei, like the eunuchs sent by the palace, are the emperor's personal minions and are not liked by civil officials.Once the interests are involved, it may attract verbal criticism. Unless it is forced to suppress with swords and guns, it will be difficult to end well in the end!

But just like what the emperor said, once he handles the matter personally, it will be different!

　Something is delayed today, so I can't add more.
