Jia Lu through the Red Chamber
Chapter 98 The Successor
It was dark, but the moon was very bright, and the Zhen Mansion facing the alley was also brightly lit. Taking advantage of the light, the husband found that this was the baggage he used to pack things, and his heart tightened suddenly, and the numbness spread from his heart to his limbs , ignoring his physical condition, he got up even crawling and rolling, groping to find something in the bag, but at this time, a cloud covered the moon, and it was pitch black. So, the husband is just a scholar, he went back and forth several times, and collapsed in the corner of the wall exhausted.
The dark clouds gradually dissipated, the bright moonlight poured down, and the alleys illuminated were also brightly lit, clean alleys, and nothing else.
At this time, if you still don't know what happened, the husband has lived in vain for so long.Leaning against the corner, thinking of the trembling feeling just received this matter, thinking of the joy when he was about to leave the alley just now, the fantasy of getting promoted and getting rich, everything is gone, and it may even lead to a disaster of killing.
He wanted to escape, but as a former member of the Zhen family, he still didn't know the power of the Zhen family in this area, so where could he escape to?Not long ago, he was so happy with the general trend of the Zhen family, so now he is so afraid and disgusted with it.After being silent for a long time, Mr. Chai stumbled to his feet and went to Zhen's residence...
Not far from Zhen's Mansion, there is a residential house where people in uniforms come and go, but they settle silently. This is where the immortal son who caused the controversy between the daughter-in-law and his mother-in-law is located. When you go out, the concierge is closed, and there are many things in the market, and you are gradually distracted by other things, so you stop paying attention.
The Jiangnan officialdom has been turbulent and dark these days. All kinds of news are collected and recorded here. Together with various ledgers, including those obtained from the Zhen family members not long ago, they are all gathered together, wrapped in tarpaulin, and handed over to Director Yu, let the young master have a look, the young master is no one else, but the master among the masters and servants sitting in the teahouse, and also Jiang Zining, the cousin of the fourth prince Zhao Yousheng, that fairy son.
Jiang Zining just looked at it briefly, then let it go.The gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and a mocking smile is drawn on the corners of his lips.
"It's also fortunate that the Zhen family claims to be a century-old family, and it looks so ugly!" The slightly vulgar words came out of this beautiful man's mouth, as beautiful and elegant as poetry.
"This Jiangnan area includes Jinling, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other major tax-heavy cities and major grain-producing cities. About [-]% to [-]% of the officials are either the confidantes of the Zhen Mansion or the vassals of the Zhen Mansion. I only know the Zhen family but not the imperial court..." the manager asked.
"It's just people who follow the trend. They only know that the fire cooks oil and the flowers bloom, but they don't know that the tree attracts the wind. Sooner or later the tree will be cut down, and the monkeys will only be scattered when the tree falls."
"The emperor is old, and he favors Concubine Zhen and the second prince's party. Even though Prince Yizhong survived with the help of the eldest princess, he has no chance. The emperor only sees the second prince's mother and son. The second prince's party is rich and powerful Grace, how could the tree fall?"
After all, he is not his own person, and he doesn't even know this.The manager was sent by the fourth prince. Jiang Zining disliked him for being clumsy and vulgar, but for the sake of the fourth prince, he had no choice but to explain it in detail.Kuang himself and the fourth prince seem to have a close relationship, but if the plan is successful, it will be the difference between the monarch and his subjects.
"The Second Prince's Party does have a favorable location and people, but it also depends on whether the heavens give her peace? The weather has been abnormal in the past two years, and the court always has to spend a lot of money to relieve disasters. There is a severe drought in Shanxi. Your Majesty He ordered to take the Huguang Jiangnan tax money to help the disaster. You see the Zhen family's behavior, and the money is in their hands, can they still take it out?
No matter how old and eccentric the emperor is, he is still the emperor!Kuang Zhen's Mansion is powerful, you only see the height of the city wall, but you don't see its shoddy construction, it will collapse if pushed.When the emperor is furious, this is our chance. "
No parent is eccentric, but there are always those who can suppress this eccentricity, such as elders, etiquette, status, responsibility, public opinion, etc.
"My son is wise."
"Don't look at these, send them all back to Kyoto!"
The manager nodded and said yes, handed the things to others, and then asked,
"It's an eventful season now, why don't you come to the capital earlier, so that you can assist your master in planning big events."
"Ahem! My mother and father thought I was weak and let me live in the south of the Yangtze River. How can I live up to their wishes?" He smiled and was gentle, but the supervisor felt a little cold for some reason.
As Jiang Zining expected, the emperor ordered the imperial ministers to collect grain tax money, but Jiangnan and other places were harvested by the former prince for a while, and then controlled by the Zhen family. The Zhen family would spit out whatever they ate.
The imperial envoys did not dare to coerce Prince Yide's family, so they could only coerce those rich salt merchants and government offices, but these people have also been raided. Money, on the other hand, fools imperial envoys.
The imperial envoy is not easy to be fooled. Seeing that there is no way to fool them, the bold businessmen directly united with the tax officials to kill the imperial envoy.
The people are not simple. Those in the city are pretty good. They don’t depend on the fields for food. Outside, those free people who farm the fields have almost been persecuted. stand up.
Originally, the emperor looked at it. There was no major disaster in the south, and the tax revenue was always sufficient, which was used for disaster relief. If the court added more, there would be no major problems.This situation has been going on for some years, and the emperor is not too worried.
Who would have thought that something would happen to Jianghuai and other places that have always been reassuring. The prince's loss of power exposed the shortcomings of the second prince himself. He is not capable enough to restrain his disciples. His sharpness even covered the sky with one hand in the south of the Yangtze River, murdering imperial envoys, and almost causing civil chaos.
Although it was suppressed, don't even think about the relief food in Shanxi. The emperor who had been strong at the moment spit out blood deeply, and his health became worse. Even Xue Yuanzheng's magic medicine was of little use.
What's more, too many officials were dismissed because of the prince's affairs, and there was a problem with the operation of the court for a while, and it was impossible to want to dismiss and investigate Jianghuai officials. Many can't be done.
Because the sage was unwell and Liu Lin was not good at doing things, the sage could only repeatedly ask Zhang Shoufu to take charge of the overall situation, but Zhang Shoufu repeatedly refused, because the situation was really unstable, so he had to take over.
Zhang Shoufu is worthy of being a veteran of the two dynasties. As soon as he took office, he announced that only the head of the evil would be punished, and the servants would perform crimes and meritorious deeds. For a while, his prestige soared, and the handling of things became smoother.
But things in Shanxi and Jiangnan couldn't be delayed, and at the same time, the emperor was still a little bit anxious. Now he was in a coma all day long, and rarely when he was awake, he was thinking about his successor.
