Emperor Tianqi was very unhappy when he heard that Yang Fang was going to Guide.

Then he said with anger: "Have he paid the tax?"

Seeing that His Majesty was angry, the eunuch trembled all over and then said, "Your Majesty, I heard that he had instructed his family to pay taxes, but... there was much resentment in his words."

Emperor Apocalypse frowned.

Wei Zhongxian said, "Your Majesty, this Yang Fang...why... you can't keep me anymore. I'll let you go outside the capital..."

Emperor Tianqi hated Yang Fang to the core.

After secretly doing business and earning so much money and asking him to pay taxes, he ran to Guide as if he was going to die. Isn’t this intentional embarrassment for him as an emperor?

Originally, Emperor Tianqi and King Xin had always had a good relationship. The ministers had provoked King Xin to almost cause trouble, but now... after such trouble, it seems that Emperor Tianqi and King Xin are fighting.

This is to separate one's brothers.

Emperor Tianqi was not an act of indignation, so he looked at Zhang Jingyi and said, "How does Zhang Qing think of this?"

Zhang Jingyi said very directly: "Let him go. Your Majesty, who is right or wrong, who is better or worse, if you rely solely on killing, you will only give someone a handle. When King Xin is in return, I have heard of some things. In this capital, there are circulating in how wise the king of Xin is wise, and many wise men have gone to join him. It is said that many people in the world have families with their families. Since many people in this world think that King Xin is a wise king, why not open up the door and let someone go to join? People's hearts are with King Xin, and King Xin... People are young and sometimes they can't stand the instigation, which is understandable, but if they don't let him govern one side, he will naturally not be willing to give up."

"Now Your Majesty and King Xin both think that they are right, so why not open it up? Everyone will take care of their own affairs sooner or later, and sooner or later there will be a conclusion."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi felt that this was very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Listen to Zhang Qing."

Emperor Tianqi paused and said, "The memorial said that Xin Wangwei had occupied Qi County. This Qi County was ruled by Kaifeng Prefecture and was later captured by bandits. Since then, Qi County was defeated by Xin Wangwei. However, no one dared to be the magistrate of Qi County and other places. Xin Wangwei's army and horses are also stationed there. Look... Is it that I have dispatched troops and stationed in Qi County?"

Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty asked King Xin to be a vassal. The original intention was to let King Xin manage Henan and resist the bandits. If King Xin really had the ability to occupy Qi County, this would be a good thing. If this land was occupied, it would be his. What's wrong with it? Instead of putting the land into the hands of the bandits, it would be better to be under the rule of King Xin."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he said, "What a guy, this is raising a Gu."

Even Wei Zhongxian felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he couldn't help saying, "Brother Zhang, is this... the favor given to him too much? If this continues, wouldn't he sit on the throne of King Xin? In this way, wouldn't the vassal state of King Xin expand and how would the court restrain him in the future?"

Wei Zhongxian thought Zhang Jingyi was very unreliable.

Don’t let the bandits disappear by then, and a powerful King of Trustees will be raised.

In fact, Wei Zhongxian was still very afraid of King Xin.

Now people's hearts are in the king of Xin. Think about Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites. Such a high-ranking official doesn't even want a black hat, and would rather be the chief minister of Xin Wang!

What does this mean? It means that the king of faith is really popular.

It can also be seen that Wei Zhongxian is still very self-aware and knows that he has a bad reputation.

That's why he was worried that King Xin would gain the support of countless people and would expand rapidly in Henan, and sooner or later he would become the second king of Yan Zhu Di.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Brother Wei, how dare you ask Your Majesty or King Xin, who is more wise?"

Wei Zhongxian's face changed and he immediately said, "Of course it's Your Majesty."

Zhang Jingyi said naturally: "Since Your Majesty is more wise, why are you worried about a mere King of Trustees?"

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "It's just that people's minds change..."

Zhang Jing shook his head: "That's why we have to defeat the great destruction. Now the court is hindering everywhere. At this point today, if it is not defeated, the situation in the world will sooner or later become corrupt. Today, Your Majesty took down a Duke of Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen, but... How many Zhu Chunchen are there in this world? There are thousands. Can Your Majesty kill a Zhu Chunchen, but can you kill thousands of such people?"

"The situation is so decayed, and Your Majesty has seen the problem in this world clearly. So as long as Your Majesty believes that he is right, why worry about the so-called human heart of the king? Can Your Majesty eliminate Jiannu, and is he afraid that someone will make a mistake?"

Zhang Jingyi meant that there would be no help if the Ming Dynasty continued like this.

Then you have to apply strong medicine. Either the person who takes medicine dies, or the medicine will be cured until the disease is cured, and there is no choice.

Wei Zhongxian was speechless for a moment.

Emperor Tianqi was young, and Zhang Jingyi's proposal was a certain way to his appetite. If he continued to be corrupt like this, it was indeed not a solution.

Why not find a mystery to break this pattern?

So he made a quick decision and said, "As Zhang Qing said, I will issue an order to attack the bandits, and the prefectures and counties he collected will be governed by the King of Xin for the time being. I want to see how much pounds and pounds King of Xin has."

The matter was concluded and finally the talk was over. Zhang Jingyi was actually very tired and immediately said goodbye and left the palace.

He wanted to go back and have a good sleep, but he was worried, so he went to Xinxian County Government.

When I arrived at the county government office, I saw Lu Xiangsheng holding a pile of torn waste paper in his hand and was talking to a yard manager.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw Zhang Jingyi, he stopped and bowed to Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I have something to do with you these days, but I have to work hard for you in the county."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "If this is the case, this is the duty of the lower officials."

Zhang Jing stared at the waste paper on Lu Xiangsheng's hand and couldn't help but say curiously: "What is this?"

Lu Xiangsheng showed some irritability and frowned and said, "This is...hey..."

"Take me a look."

Lu Xiangsheng had to deliver the things to Zhang Jingyi and explained: "This is a notice posted by some scholars secretly at night. Our new county does not post much, but other counties have more... they are all nonsense..."

Zhang Jingyi opened a piece of "waste paper" casually, and then his eyes widened.

What is inside is all about how wise the king is, and how wise people are valued? In the De Mansion, all the wise men arrive, the people are all educated, and how brave the king is, how brave the king is, just like the king's army.

Zhang Jing looked at it and thought to herself, is this okay?

It’s just a Taizhihu, can the people understand this?

However... when I saw it, my nose was crooked.

It would be fine if you praise King Xin, but why did you scold me?

There were actually Zhang Jingyi's crimes, one of which was a thief.

Zhang Jing had no expression on her face, and just crushed the paper and threw it aside lightly, before saying to Lu Xiangsheng: "Someone posted it in Xinxian County?"

"Yes, they were all posted secretly at night." Lu Xiangsheng seemed a little embarrassed: "The officials are preparing to gather some people at night and squat to catch people. These people... are too ruthless."

Zhang Jingyi shook her head and said, "Forget it, what's the use of you taking someone? The more you take someone, the more glorious they feel."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "But the limelight of King Xin is indeed very popular now, especially after His Majesty copied the Duke Chengguo Mansion, I heard that there were many scholars who wanted to go to Guide together. The lower officials had friends in Jiangnan and Jiangnan, and they flocked to King Xin. They all said that King Xin was a wise king who was born in the world. All the things that Guide did followed the ancient etiquette. He lighted corvee labor, reduced taxes, treated wise and inferior people, and treated people kindly..."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say, "I'm too lazy to listen to this."

Although Zhang Jingyi looked disdainful, he still couldn't help but admire these scholars in his heart.

If you can control public opinion to this point, I am afraid that even people like Lu Xiangsheng may more or less believe in some such remarks.

After all, three people become tigers.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Jing had not been a human being for one or two years and knew that the way of trusting the king would not work, most of the time, Zhang Jingyi might be a supporter of trusting the king, and firmly believed that only trusting the king could save the world.

Zhang Jingyi was too tired at this time. He only walked around the county and then went back to the house to sleep without mentioning it.

At this time, the capital was actually in full swing.

Because Duke Cheng was confiscated at first, it has actually caused a lot of discussion.

Later, rumors spread that in addition to collecting commercial tax, His Majesty also needed to increase commercial tax. It is said that if he did not pay, his home would be searched.

This suddenly... everyone became in danger.

There are all kinds of rumors, some say that not only commercial taxes are charged, but also that all kinds of taxes are paid countless times.

It is also said that the factory guards have begun to prepare to take action and are looking for some people to search for the family and exterminate the clan.

Not to mention merchants or ordinary people, they can’t help but be afraid.

After all, all kinds of rumors outside are about squeezing people's wealth and ointment. Aren't you the people?

Many people believed these words and began to find ways to hide the little bit of silver that had been accumulated for half a lifetime.

Before the factory guard started to investigate, people were in panic and all kinds of rumors spread.

Overnight, there were notices posted everywhere in the capital, and some people secretly posted them at night. At first, some scholars posted them secretly, but later many people felt that they were scolding them so they also followed suit.

It has reached a point where it is getting worse.

Emperor Tianqi forced Yang Fang to pay taxes and took more than 100,000 taels of silver from the Yang family, but this suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest.

Many of the officials in the court have no longer had the intention to be on duty.

There were countless scholars running to Guide Mansion.

Under such circumstances, Huang Liji, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, was also panicked.

Let it develop, it is not a solution!

So he quickly met Emperor Aoki and discussed for a whole morning.

At noon, Zhang Shun ran out of the palace again and asked Zhang Jing to enter the palace to meet him quickly.

Zhang Jingyi, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, naturally knew the changes in the capital, so he hurriedly set off and went to the Qinzheng Hall of Xiyuan in the past.
