Domineering Daming

Unable to restrain his panic, Xu Jie looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "My lord, in this way, the whole of Beizhili will belong to Wei Zhongxian... What is the emperor going to do?"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were calm just now, but now they are completely flustered.

The emperor had the confidence to hand over Beizhili to Wei Zhongxian regardless, but they couldn't!

If Wei Zhongxian acts recklessly, no one knows what will happen, how many people will die, how many rules will be broken, the past four years of Tianqi must not be repeated, and there must be no more "Three Dynasties Essential Code"!

Shen Yongmao quickly came back to his senses, and said anxiously: "My lords, if the officials leave Beijing, the patrol battalion will definitely fall into the hands of the eunuchs. What should we do now? There must be a solution?"

Military power is always sensitive, especially now that only the patrol battalion is the strongest in the capital, not to mention people with ulterior motives, even loyal court officials, no one can rest assured!

Bi Ziyan has always been in charge of government affairs, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Master Sun has been in military affairs for a long time, what can I do?"

Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Military power... Your Majesty has always controlled it extremely strictly. If I used to use 'emergency' as an excuse, I could transfer nearby soldiers and horses...not now!"

The few people were startled for a moment, and then realized that the emperor deliberately transferred the two battalions, probably to prevent them from mobilizing other troops.

Sitting at the table, Bi Ziyan stared out, like an old monk sitting still, with thoughts spinning rapidly in his mind.

Both Shen Yongmao and Xu Jie were ants on the hot pot, and their worries were almost out of control.

Who is Wei Zhongxian? The one who died in his hands, Mr. Ge, are there still fewer six books?Could it be that it will come again, so what face do these ministers have to stand in the court?

Sun Chengzong was not in a hurry, he had confidence in Zhu Xu, although he seemed to have no defenses, this was the scariest thing.

Wei Zhongxian is not a fool, he should be the one who is really worried now!

Bi Ziyan thought like lightning for a while and said to Shen Yongmao with a smile, "Lord Shen, don't worry, the emperor has his own arrangements. It might be that he wants to protect you by doing this."

Shen Yongmao was startled, raised his hand and said, "My lord..."

Bi Ziyan smiled, and said confidently: "Since the emperor said 'immediately', Lord Shen will leave Beijing today, there is no need to report again, and I should explain it to Cao Qincheng carefully, and don't need to pay too much attention to the rest. .”

Shen Yongmao didn't understand why he was so worried just now, why he suddenly became so decisive now.

Chapter 621

Sun Chengzong moved in his heart, looked at Shen Yongmao and said, "Master Shen, just do your job well, we have our own arrangements for this matter."

Shen Yongmao looked at the two of them with some hesitation, and after a while he seemed to have realized something and said: "I will obey your orders."

Xu Jie looked at Shen Yongmao's back, confused, the three of them seemed to be playing a riddle, but he didn't understand.

Bi Ziyan raised his head to look at Xu Jie, and said, "You come up with a plan. In the past two days, find a way to get the six ministers to leave the capital. Wei Zhongxian has to deal with this North Zhili."

Xu Jie was stunned, and then said with some understanding: "My lord's meaning, the emperor's decree, is to imply that all your lords should leave the capital? Wei Zhongxian might do something to your lords?"

Bi Ziyan laughed and said, "It's good that you understand. When we're not around, the government affairs of the cabinet can't be lost. You have to take responsibility."

"I obey!" Xu Jie immediately cupped his fists and said, this is trust!

Bi Ziyan swung Xu Jie back, his confident expression slowly dissipated, he turned to look at Sun Chengzong and said, "Master Sun, the emperor didn't mention you, do you have other arrangements?"

Sun Chengzong was also puzzled in his heart and couldn't figure it out, but the emperor deliberately asked all the ministers to leave Beijing, not only to avoid Wei Zhongxian, but also to promote the implementation of the "New Deal" in the local area. He said silently: "I will go to the southwest and check the six provinces. government affairs, military affairs."

Bi Ziyan nodded. They all had important things to do, so they could concentrate on their work by taking this opportunity.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he can't turn the sky!

In the lobby of the East Factory, Wei Zhongxian was sitting tall, and the imperial decree just received was spread on the table.

The words "immediately arrested and not pardoned" are ordinary, but they are extremely dazzling.

Movements from other places were also transmitted, which made his calm heart unable to continue to be stable.

"why?"

Wei Zhongxian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was surging.

The emperor's attitude before leaving Beijing clearly gave him enough time, why did he suddenly change his mind and force him so much?

But Hou Guoxing and the others looked excited. In their view, this decree was a sharp sword for killing people, enough to sweep Beizhili away!

Wei Zhongxian felt a trace of worry in his heart, and immediately a stern look appeared on his dark face, and he said to himself, "If you want chaos, I also want to. I will follow your wishes and do my thing!"

Wei Zhongxian's temples bulged, and he looked at Hou Guoxing and others and said calmly: "The emperor's decree has been issued, we should move. Hou Guoxing, Ke Guang, you go to Shuntian Mansion immediately, stay there, and help Shuntian Mansion register the 'tax list' , but anyone who does not sign will be arrested and imprisoned with personal and physical evidence, no exception!"

Hou Guoxing and Ke Guangxian were overjoyed, clasped their fists and said loudly: "It's the father-in-law!"

As the two talked, a flash of light flashed in front of their eyes, as if they saw countless silver coins floating towards them.

Shuntianfu's actions are faster than Dongchang's. Recently, they act in a low-key manner, but their efficiency is higher.

As the core of the capital city, Shuntian Mansion is also the eye of the storm. Chen Qiyu and others dare not be careless, but now they are in trouble again.

Chen Suowen and Chu Zongxian stood in front of Chen Qiyu's table with expressions on their faces.

Chu Zong first turned the big book in his hand, and said: "My lord, the officials have carefully inquired about the cultural policies of the fields in Beizhili, and found that those big landlords have transferred and dispersed the fields. Now they just want to find someone to register, but they can't find them Come on, I'm sorry!"

"It's not enough." Chen Suowen said solemnly: "Prefects and county magistrates from all over the country have reported the disaster situation and asked for tax reduction. The tax amount is almost the same as that collected by the imperial court!"

"Some fields are originally owned by outsiders, and they refused to come to the capital on the grounds that the distance is inconvenient."

"As far as I know, these lands are still in the hands of the original owners..."

"Sir, it's not good!"

Suddenly, an officer rushed in and said anxiously: "My lord, a widow in Wanping County suddenly burned more than ten acres of land, took her two children, and burned herself to death in the house!"

The others are still in a daze, such a criminal case is not a big deal, do you want to alarm them?

However, Chen Qiyu's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean, after the official came to register the list?"

The guard lowered his head and said: "Yes, it is said that she refuses to agree with life and death, and is forcing her to die. I didn't expect it to be true."

Chen Qiyu's expression changed again and again, his eyes flickered as he sat there.

Chen Suowen and Chu Zongxian were shocked. This incident will push Shuntian Mansion and the court into an extremely unbearable position!

"Officials sent to collect food, forcing orphans and widows to death"!

I am afraid that such words will spread throughout Beizhili in a short time, and Shuntian Mansion will become a street rat, everyone will shout and beat them!

Chen Suowen came to his senses suddenly, looked at the guard and said loudly, "Have you found out? Is it true, or was someone doing it maliciously?"

Chu Zongxian looked flustered, raised his head and said to Chen Qiyu: "My lord, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Once this matter gets out, people's sentiments will be boiling and rumors will surge. It will be even more difficult for me in Shuntian Mansion to do anything again!"

Chen Qiyu had thought of this a long time ago. This matter will definitely push Shuntian Mansion and the court to an extremely disadvantageous position. Going to jail!
