Domineering Daming

This is a difficult problem. It is not unreasonable to say that the court is a "robbery" outside.Suddenly taxing others is still coercive, and even the "ancestral system" of more than 200 years ago cannot convince everyone.

The so-called law does not blame the public, these people just don't give it, not to mention there are countless reasons to prevaricate, even if they tell the court clearly "not to hand over", it is difficult for the court to respond effectively.

You can't send troops arbitrarily to "force food" against the gentry like you deal with the common people, right?

The gentry group is extremely huge, including the entire ruling class of Ming Dynasty. One bad thing will affect the world, even the emperor has to give in and appease!

Chapter 587 An Unusual Convoy

A group of people in Shuntian Mansion are very distressed. It is easy for the court to make policies, but it is another matter if it falls on them.

If the sky is high and the earth is far away, there are still ways to fool him, but there are countless pairs of eyes staring at the feet of the emperor, and no mistakes can be made!

Chen Qiyu knew that such discussions would lead to no solution. He could not go to the cabinet at this juncture, and the adults from the six departments had to discuss it. He could only wait for the governors and governors to leave Beijing before making plans.

But such a day-to-day delay made him very uneasy.

Chen Suowen was even more disturbed. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this "political reform" was part of the emperor's "New Deal" and was related to state affairs. To be replaced.

This kind of replacement is different from Apocalypse. During the Wanli period, resigning angrily can still get a good reputation. It is Fuqi, a further "capital". Not to mention revived, the reputation of a lifetime will be ruined!

Chu Zong first looked at the group of people who were silent, frowned bitterly, looked at Chen Qiyu and said: "My lord, no matter what, things must be done first, and we will talk about it when we encounter troubles. You can't wait like this, just discuss!"

Chen Qiyu looked shocked, and said: "That's right! Let's make a plan first, step by step, starting from Shuntian Mansion, and pushing it to the whole of Beizhili. Now, no, I will make a plan first. Tomorrow I will go to the cabinet and get the edict." , let’s start making arrangements, we must not wait in vain!”

"Subordinate to obey!"

A group of people responded in unison and got busy in the temporary yamen.

For a long time, the entire capital city has entered a certain fast pace. From the cabinet to the local government, no one is not nervous and goes all out.

The nine-member cabinet including Bi Ziyan held meetings all night long, promulgated edicts and appointments, one after another "new policies", and one after another "appointments".

The "New Deal" promoted by the imperial court is a kind of "introduction of the old to bring forth the new" in the past Ming Dynasty's political affairs. In the eyes of more people, this is a kind of "breaking and then establishing". All of them have undergone shattering changes. Even though there have been several years of transition, many people still find it "sudden" and unacceptable.

In the capital, rumors were flying around, making some old officials confused about the truth and asking around, which made the "New Deal" even more confusing.

The cabinet and the six newspapers are stepping up their preparations and urgently spread them to the provinces. Even if they cannot be synchronized, there is not much difference between a day or two later and synchronization.

It was getting dark, and a group of people in the cabinet let out a sigh of relief.

Yuan Keli put down the pen in his hand, glanced at everyone, and said: "The Ministry of Rites has already prepared. The governors and governors of the southeastern provinces have not had any major mood swings. They have also expressed firm support for political reform. They can be released the day after tomorrow." They left Beijing to welcome the emperor's inspection tour."

Xu Dahua hurriedly followed up and said: "The officials are ready. The governors and governors of Yunnan, Huguang, Guangxi, etc. have all expressed that they will agree with the imperial court, and there will be no inappropriate remarks."

Shen Xun was the most anxious person, so he followed suit and said, "The governors and governors of several provinces in Jiangxi and Henan have written memorials for their subordinates, and they will strictly abide by the imperial court's decrees, so there should be no worries."

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, and Shen Yongmao also spoke one after another, with similar content. The governors and governors of various provinces expressed their firm support for the court, the emperor, and political reform in their attitudes, and there will be no changes.

Both Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong felt relieved. As long as these governors and governors don't talk nonsense, the "political reform" of the imperial court will be the general trend.

Bi Ziyan looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "My official article has been written, everyone will read it later, moisten the pen, and then show it to the adults to read again, if there is no problem, sign it together, and the cabinet will report it tomorrow." Released together with the six parts, it will stabilize people's hearts!"

"Yes!" Everyone should be, as long as this newspaper is published, the political reform will be completely settled, and no one will be able to turn the world upside down!

A group of people looked at each other and smiled. No matter how difficult the process was and how many troubles there were in the future, they could breathe a sigh of relief that the matter that had been tossing about for so long was finally settled.

Shen Yongmao pondered for a while, looked up at Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, the two camps...have some changes."

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly, and said, "A change? What change?"

The others also showed shocking expressions, the two battalions are defending the capital, if there is a problem with the two battalions, big trouble will happen to the capital too!

Shen Yongmao's expression could not be said to be nervous or worried, and said: "The base of the Beijing West Camp has been transferred to Miyun, and the Jingdong Camp has been transferred to Tianjin Wei. In addition, 1 people in the patrol battalion have to leave Beijing for training every ten days."

After Shen Yongmao's words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

There are only two places where Ming can mobilize troops, one is the imperial palace and the other is the Ministry of War.There was no edict from the Ministry of War, and the troops mobilized by the king's order were very limited, not to mention the two crucial battalions.

Then there is only one possibility, the emperor in the palace!

However, why there is such an arrangement suddenly, and what is the intention of transferring the two major armies defending the capital away—at this special pass!

Everyone was deep in thought, silent.

Daming seems to be generally stable, but the civil unrest has never stopped, and now the "gentry tax" is about to be implemented, if there is a big disturbance at the foot of the imperial city, what a terrible thing it would be!

What's more, if Jiannu or Mongolia broke through the barrier again, wouldn't the capital be in danger without the two major armies to guard it?

Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan, and then at the others, unable to hide his worry.

Without the guards from the two major battalions, they felt uneasy.

Bi Ziyan looked down for a while, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Master Sun, why don't you and Shen Shangshu enter the palace immediately, ask to see the emperor, and ask clearly."

Without two guards, the capital would be in danger. Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Okay, Shen Shangshu, follow me to Jingyang Palace."

Shen Yongmao stood up and said, "Yes."

Bi Ziyan watched the two leave, and said solemnly: "When the governors and the governor leave Beijing, our government affairs should focus on 'taxation', especially Shuntian Mansion. We must do our best to help, and we must be perfect. Set an example to the world!"

"Of order." A group of people raised their hands.

Although there are many elements of the "New Deal", the focus is on "taxation", at least for now.

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao came to the imperial study, Cao Huachun stood in front of the imperial study with a smile, looked at them and said: "My lords, the emperor is in a very bad mood now, I'd better not see you."

Sun Chengzong naturally knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, but the transfer of the two battalions was no small matter. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Eunuch Cao, did the emperor say anything else about the transfer of the two battalions?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "The emperor didn't say anything else."

Sun Chengzong really wanted to see Zhu Xu to ask clearly, but he knew it was not the right time, Bi Ziyan was blocked, and it was normal for him to be blocked once, so he said: "Please tell the emperor, please call me if you are free."

Sun Chengzong didn't know that Zhu Xu had left Beijing for several hours.

Cao Huachun nodded with a smile and said, "The miscellaneous family will definitely convey it."

Sun Chengzong nodded, and returned to the cabinet with Shen Yongmao.

It didn't take long for Sun Chengzong to be blocked in Jingyang Palace. It spread all over the capital, and everyone was guessing that the emperor was really angry, and there might be a thunderous wrath.

Including the cabinet, a group of adults became more and more vigilant, and the quiet palace made them feel uneasy!

It was gradually getting dark, and after leaving the capital, the convoy of the Escort Bureau headed to Tianjin Wei stopped, built a fire by the side of the road, and cooked.

Along the way, Zhu Xu finally knew the names of the girl and the boy. The girl was called Wang Qiongyu, whose origin was unknown, and the boy's name was Zai Li Rujing, whose origin was also unknown.

Sitting by the fire, Zhu Xu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Qiongyu, and Li Rujing, holding rough sweet potato pancakes, were cooking soup while listening to the chatter of people in the motorcade not far away.
