.,

Fang Jifan could only sigh.

As for what these people think, it seems...it has nothing to do with me.

I love it!

On the next day, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Fang Jifan to have an audience.

Fang Jifan knew that His Majesty's summons must have some deep meaning.

So I tidied up my clothes and set off quickly.

It's just that when we arrived at the Meridian Gate, outside the Meridian Gate, we saw Zhu Houzhao also arrived with a dejected look on his face.

He didn't look very well, he looked extremely tired, and when he saw Fang Jifan, he just greeted Fang Jifan lazily.

"Your Highness...are you sick?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with concern, appearing worried.

As a good brother, Fang Jifan still cares about Zhu Houzhao very much.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head feebly: "It's not a disease, but it's just a gift from God, it's too painful, always crying, from morning to night..."

Without further ado, Fang Jifan took out a handful of banknotes from his sleeve and stuffed them into Zhu Houzhao's hands: "Your Highness...please worry..."

Zhu Houzhao: "..."

To be honest...Zhu Houzhao is not someone who has never seen Yinzi.

But... just throwing money at the slightest disagreement... well, this really... really suits his taste.

He collected the money without a trace of hesitation, and suddenly felt his fatigue was swept away, and his whole body was refreshed, as if the tired person just now had never existed.

But at this time, Liu Jian and others also arrived.

Inside the Meridian Gate, Xiao Jing stepped out quickly, with a straight face: "Your Majesty has a decree, please come to Fengtian Palace to have an audience."

Everyone said long live.

Only this time, suddenly Xiao Jing came to read the oral order, which was a little unusual.

What's more, the people summoned this time are not only the crown prince and the cabinet princes, but also the six ministers. Besides, there are also British officials and other ministers.

Everyone with different thoughts went to Fengtian Temple.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi coughing in the hall... Then he raised his head: "Are you all here?"

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Is Your Majesty not feeling well?"

Emperor Hongzhi gave Fang Jifan a tender look. Although Fang Jifan seemed unruly, he still cared about himself very much. He just waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that I'm old. I used to have a small illness, but now... let's discuss the matter first." Bar."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Jian: "Where is Wang Shouren, Shangshu of the Ministry of War?"

The new Minister of War, Wang Shouren, came out of the squad: "The minister is here."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and said, "How is the constitution for the standing army?"

"Your Majesty, you need to take it easy." Wang Shouren said seriously: "The standing army is a big deal, but... don't be in a hurry. Now the First Army has still found many problems, so the expansion needs to find out the problems. Only by prescribing the right medicine. What I am drafting now is not an expansion charter, but a review memorial, which will be submitted to the palace in two days."

The First Army is already an eye-opener, and has reached a consensus inside and outside the court, and everyone takes it for granted that replacing the guards has become a top priority.

The shadow of Weizhou Wei on the monarchs and ministers is still there.

As a result... Now that His Majesty entrusts Wang Shouren with a heavy responsibility, I thought that Wang Shouren would rush forward after sharpening his sword, but who knew... Wang Shouren was not in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being dumbfounded, and glanced at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian stepped forward: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It is not impossible for the Ministry of War to plan it slowly."

This is indeed true, Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and sighed again: "I also heard... Nowadays, some people sympathize with the gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River?"

This sudden question made Liu Jian and others feel surprised, Liu Jian frowned: "I don't know why Your Majesty made such a statement?"

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "A group of scholars came forward and made a big fuss in Huguang, saying that the people and gods were all angry. The local governor had already suppressed the matter, but it was Jin Yiwei who reported it to the imperial court."

The problem in the south of the Yangtze River has been solved, but in other places, it is the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox. This time, the land price has plummeted, regardless of the north and the south. The gentry in other places have a hard time, and they have begun to sell their land. Now... Although the vast majority of people dare not speak out, there are also some people who want to make trouble.

On the ground, I know that His Majesty's will has been decided and cannot be changed, so I try my best to suppress the situation.

But it was only natural for such anger to spread.

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Yang Ai, the propaganda envoy of Bozhou, even wrote a letter to express his pain. Didn't you see these memorials?"

Banzhou Yang's!

This is no ordinary person.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, a family migrated to Bozhou, where they spread branches and leaves. They continued to annex the land and became the largest local tyrant. At the same time, because Bozhou was in the southwest, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. The Han people continued to expand, and the children of the clan were trained to form an army. After the war after the Tang Dynasty, they expanded their strength. In the Song Dynasty, the Yang family of Bozhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and still appointed the Yang family's children as local civil and military officials. In fact, this Bozhou was established as a country within a country.

In view of their strength, even in the Southern Song Dynasty, they resisted the attack of the Mongols, and even defeated the Mongols. After the Mongols perished in the Southern Song Dynasty, they were quite afraid of them, and they still recognized their semi-independent status and gave them comfort. The official position of the envoy was even given the name Yang Saiyinbuhua to the patriarch of his family.

Mingyi

Ruled the world, followed the Yuan system, and the Yang family of Bozhou, hereditary, became the consolation envoy of Bozhou. The Yang family owned countless lands in the Bozhou area, and formed an army in the form of a militia. It can be said that they are The largest gentry in the Southwest.

The Yang clan has a large population. Now that they have land and have hereditary official positions, after thousands of years of reproduction, the Yang clan in Bozhou has 100,000 members. , has great influence.

Of course, the Yang family is well aware of the fact that their own family has great achievements, so they have always kept a low profile and never easily wrote a letter about any government affairs. In Daming, they seem to be like air and do not exist.

But this time, it seemed that the local emperor from Bozhou was in a hurry, and he wrote a letter directly, denouncing the court's ruthlessness towards the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that the gentry is the foundation of the country, and of course, describing the gentry's whole family with snot and tears The horrors of migration.

Liu Jian and the others all fell silent in unison.

They don't want to pay attention to these people in Banzhou.

The memorial, in fact, they have seen it, and it is understandable that the Yang family of Banzhou has such a strong reaction. After all...they own a lot of land, but they are located in the southwestern area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou. With thousands of years of accumulation, they own countless lands. More importantly...they have pawns in their hands.

The Bozhou army has been a tradition since the Tang Dynasty. This army once annexed nearby lands in the name of the Tang Dynasty. It also followed the Song Dynasty's order to resist the Mongols. It was the backbone of the Yuan Dynasty to guard the southwest.

What they say...you have to pay attention to it.

Emperor Hongzhi looked displeased.

The Yang family of Bozhou...the imperial court has been extremely tolerant to them, even if they changed their native lands and returned to the bloc, since they are Han Chinese, it did not affect them.

It's good now... The emigration of the gentry is an order of the emperor. What is their intention to write a letter now?

There is actually a custom for dealing with this kind of thing, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, this matter... just stay in the middle and not publish it, and then order a censor to go to Bozhou to find out the truth..."

But now it is different from before. Emperor Hongzhi looked dissatisfied, looked at the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, and said, "What does the crown prince think?"

So many people couldn't help looking at Zhu Houzhao.

For such a big matter, His Majesty actually asked the prince directly.

It seems... there is some intention.

Li Dongyang seemed to be aware of something, thoughtful.

Zhu Houzhao heard his father asking himself at this time, and cheered up: "The imperial court should immediately reprimand the Yang family of Bozhou. Is it possible that he, a small consolation envoy, can talk too much about national affairs? As far as I know, The Yang family occupies countless lands. In Bozhou, they are in charge of the army, horses, money and food. It can be said that it is a country within a country. The army and horses must be able to enter Bozhou at any time. If they submit obediently, that’s fine. If they act boldly, the prepared army and horses will immediately enter Bozhou and be arrested.”

This approach can be described as direct and brutal!

Liu Jian and the others looked surprised.

Prince, this is too...just too much.

Emperor Hongzhi was thoughtful. Even he seemed to think that the crown prince was a little too strong. After coughing, he gave Liu Jian and the others a meaningful look: "What do you think?"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I dare not second the proposal. Mrs. Yang just gave a memorial."

Xie Qian also couldn't help saying: "The migration of gentry has indeed caused a lot of complaints. If it blocks the way of speech, it may not be a good thing. The Yang family of Bozhou has no serious crime. It is really inappropriate to warn or even go to war just because of this."

There are many officials in the palace who oppose the prince.

Fortunately, neither Wang Shouren nor Ouyang Zhi spoke, one was silent and the other was expressionless.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and said immediately: "Everyone thinks the prince's words are inappropriate?"

"Your Majesty!" Fang Jifan couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and said, "It is His Majesty's will to relocate the gentry, and this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. His Majesty was also in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, so he knew very well that this move would be of great benefit to countless people. It has great benefits. This is good governance. Since this is already good governance, the imperial court should take a stand. Yang's letter from Bozhou is nothing more than provoking public discussion, so as to criticize the migration policy as false and protect his own interests. In fact, if such a person is indulged and speaks nonsense at will, then... what is the face of the court? What the prince said... I think it is true. Before the court does something, it can be discussed and discussed. I have already done it, but I am still chattering here, what is the intention here? The crown prince is wise, and my son worships him."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian, and then at Fang Jifan.

I gradually began to care about it.
