Domineering Daming

He watched Zhang Pu walk in coldly, with a stern look on his old face.Zhang Pu was not his own son, but his nephew. Because he was a concubine, he was not taken seriously, and the members of the Zhang family repeatedly bullied him.

Zhang Pu walked in, his eyelids twitched, suppressing the fear in his heart, he walked in, raised his hand and said, "Uncle."

Zhang Fuzhi took the cane, slammed it on the ground, and said coldly, "Kneel down!"

Zhang Pu knelt down in response, with a flash of thought in his heart, he said bravely: "Uncle, the court is stupid, my nephew is just..."

Snapped!

Zhang Fuzhi drew a line directly over, and said in a cold voice: "Presumptuous! My Zhang family has been loyal for generations, and only virtuous and virtuous! You are good, don't talk about gathering people to make trouble, forming some kind of rehabilitative society, talking about the government, slandering the court officials, and even more. It is to lead the mob to forcibly break into the Yamen of Suzhou Prefecture and drive out the magistrate, who taught you this, and who gave you the courage!"

After all, Zhang Pu is a scholar, a cane was drawn on his body, and the pain was burning. He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, the national crisis is in the present, and everyone is behind, how can we stand by and watch! My nephew has already contacted Xuezheng, Suzhou will promote officials, and next year will be promoted Will be in……"

Zhang Pu's Fushe was not a simple non-governmental student organization, but extended to the officialdom through crony connections, and the imperial examinations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were almost infiltrated.Although it is far worse than Fushe's control of the imperial examinations, control of the court, and even replacement of cabinet ministers in history, it has begun to take shape.

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fuzhi slammed down again, without stopping, with a murderous tone in his tone, he shouted angrily: "You bastard! Those 'nine articles' are all over the world, do you think I can't see them? Which one will bring disaster to the country and the people?" Which one is suppressing the world's scholars? Do you think I don't know what you think? You want to reach the sky in one step, and become the chief minister of the cabinet in one step!"

Zhang Pu shrank there, full of unwillingness. In his opinion, Zhang Fuzhi was just a corrupt bureaucrat. The Ming Dynasty needed innovation, so it was necessary to eliminate these old officials who "caused the country"!

He knew that it was useless to talk more, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Zhang Fuzhi twitched for a while, and felt sorry for Zhang Pu's misfortune, and was angry with him, but if the Zhang family wanted to continue, Zhang Pu couldn't have an accident.He threw away the cane, looked at Zhang Pu trembling coldly, and said coldly: "Lock him up for me, and he is not allowed to leave the house without my permission!"

"Yes!" The servant came in and dragged Zhang Pu out.

Zhang Fuzhi took a breath, glanced at the people in the hall again, and scolded: "From now on, you all study in the mansion honestly. If anyone goes out to cause trouble again, I will break your legs!"

Zhang Fuzhi kept his promise in the Zhang family, and a group of juniors listened honestly.

Zhang Fuzhi sat there and took a breath, then stared and said: "Prepare the ceremony, prepare the car, and go to the governor's office."

"Yes." Arranged by my servant.

At the same time, such scenes are happening in many mansions, but with different people and lines.

Some are hard-topped, some bow their heads, and some, like Zhang Pu, neither hard-top nor bow their heads.

Such as Gu Yanwu, such as Chen Zilong.

The atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that in the north, and the situation is also strange.A group of young scholars are the main force opposing political reform, while those old bureaucrats have become supporters of political reform.

With their support, or perhaps because of the general trend, Zhejiang's political reform has gone surprisingly smoothly. According to the Procuratorate, the Chief Secretary has been merged, and all counties are also undergoing major rectification.

But in less than half a month, the governor's yamen burst into flames at night, ignited in all directions, burned for more than an hour, and burned to death more than 20 people, including two fifth-rank and one fourth-rank officials, and rioters Taking the opportunity to attack, the governor Zhou Weijing was escorted by guards and rushed out of the flames, and fled to Hangzhou Mansion to live temporarily.

Zhejiang was shocked, and the whole world was shaken.

Chapter 409 A Heavy Pressure

"It's well cooked!"

In a dark restaurant not far away, a group of people kept watching the Governor's Yamen from the dark, and they couldn't help shouting when they saw the fire all over the sky.

"A bunch of stupid officials should be burned to death!" Someone excitedly agreed.

"This time, I will definitely teach them a lesson. Zhejiang is not a capital city, and it is not a place where they mess around!"

"Burn it again, burn it more vigorously, so that the whole Zhejiang and the whole Ming Dynasty can see it!"

In the darkness, people's heads moved, suppressing their excitement and hissing in a low voice.

After half an hour, until the fire in the governor's yamen was under control and gradually weakened, the group of people secretly cried out what a pity, and calmed down happily in their hearts.

Standing in the crowd, Zhang Pu's eyes were shining brightly, and he said in a provocative tone: "Brothers, how is the fire today?"

Chen Zilong is the backbone of Fushe and a staunch supporter of Zhang Pu. Looking at the smoke billowing in the distance, the flames filled the sky and the governor's yamen, his face flushed and said: "Qiandu is the best way for you. If it is not for the lack of manpower, I really want to do more." Burn a few of his yamen!"

Dryness is Zhang Pu's character.

Hou Qi used to have an old relationship with Donglin, and his temperament was also flying. He continued in a passionate tone: "Yes, burn down the governor's office tonight, and burn down the governor's office tomorrow night, and burn down the Hangzhou mansion! Let's see how those corrupt officials are still in Zhejiang. Go on domineering!"

Gu Yanwu was the youngest among them, but he was very temperamental. He said in a cadenced tone: "It's not enough to just burn it. We have to let them see the ethos of our Zhejiang scholars. It's not something that the so-called 'Nine Articles' can suppress!"

A group of people were very excited. Before Zhang Pu organized people to drive away the eunuch Suzhou magistrate, they were very excited, and now they even burned the governor's office, which convinced them!

Standing among the crowd, Zhang Pu was not overwhelmed by what they said, and said more calmly: "What happened today can't happen again, at least not for a short time. I'm still grounded, and I won't be able to leave the house tomorrow. Listen Let me tell you, Brother Chen, you should contact scholars from all over the country, the more people the better, and go to the Hangzhou government office tomorrow to make a statement. Brother Gu, you are a prominent family in the east of the Yangtze River, you can find some officials in the examination room and the governor to report my identity in Zhejiang It’s different, please treat it with caution in the governor’s yamen. Others, you can find acquainted elders and go to Hangzhou Mansion to ‘inquire about the fire’.”

Chen Zilong was overjoyed when he heard it, and praised: "Brother Zhang is brilliant! We surrounded the Hangzhou mansion both as a petition and as a demonstration. The adults in the examination room were just admonishing, as for the other elders, they were just putting pressure on them quietly!"

Gu Yanwu came from a famous family, upon hearing the words, he said: "This is easy to handle, I will do it at dawn!"

"Okay, let's find someone each, and tomorrow, we will surround the Hangzhou mansion with water!"

"It's not too late, let's go!"

They were also afraid of accidents, so after a brief discussion, they turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The fire in the governor's yamen, one can tell at a glance that it is not a fire, but someone maliciously set the fire.

People from the governor's yamen, the governor's yamen, and the Hangzhou government's government shuttled around, and those "disorderly people" were quickly arrested and fled, and a curfew was rarely imposed in the Hangzhou government.

In the middle of the night, there was no way to find someone, so I could only wait for the dawn.

The next day, with just a gleam of light, Zhou Weijing's order spread throughout Zhejiang, from the magistrate to participating in politics, counselors, all major officials in Zhejiang, large and small, were almost all called to the Hangzhou government office.

After a night of fermentation, who didn't know what happened yesterday, everyone entered the Hangzhou Mansion in fear.

Zhou Weijing sat expressionlessly on the main seat, with Wang Yongguang and Tian Ergeng on the left and right.

Wang Yongguang is the governor of Zhejiang, and Tian Ergeng was transferred from Yingtian Mansion overnight by Zhou Weijing.

Zhou Weijing has decided to build a Zhenfu prison in Hangzhou!

"My lord, my lord, it's not good!" A yamen servant rushed in and said anxiously: "My lord, hundreds of scholars have come outside, and they have surrounded the yamen!"

Before the words fell, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

Zhou Weijing's face has been gloomy since last night. He glanced at the Hangzhou officials present, sneered lightly, and said, "My lords, let's go. Follow me to see what the scholars in Hangzhou want to do." !"

The hearts of the people jumped wildly. The burning of the governor's yamen was a major event. The court didn't know how to be angry about this matter. Now hundreds of scholars surrounded the Hangzhou yamen again. This is to force the court to use thunderous tactics!

They are all anxious, if they can't give the court a satisfactory explanation, they may not only lose their official titles!

Zhou Weijing led more than 20 people, big and small, out of the lobby, and when he stood on the steps, he heard shouts and curses all over the sky.

"Foolish officials, get out of Zhejiang!"
