Chapter 172 Are you not Suning Wei Liangchen?

Staying at home is the attitude of the current emperor to uniformly adopting the memorials he does not want to see, and he does not submit any discussion or criticize them.

But obviously, Li Sancai's memorials have his own ways to make it known to the whole world.

In addition to the recent incidents of mine supervision and taxation, many ministers from other courts have risen to respond to Li Sancai's memorials and demand that the emperor abolish the mine supervision and taxation, and the crowd is in great turmoil.

"The mining tax is booming, and the people are unemployed, and the plundering orders are as dense as a cow's hair. Today, a certain mine has a lot of silver, and tomorrow, a certain official has a lot of silver, and the upper and lower levels compete for profit. Today, the minister's memorial, Your Majesty will not read or listen to any mention of the mining tax. This is a major event that concerns the survival of the country. Once everyone betrays relatives and relatives, the people will become enemies. Even if Your Majesty has a box of gold and a house full of famous beads, who will defend for Your Majesty?"

Yang Lian was worried, and then said, "What I admire most about Huaifu is the sentence that the people and the lord of the king in his memorials are also the words of the people and the lord. This is a great good thing. Our ministers have the responsibility to write a letter to the words. As the emperor, His Majesty also has the responsibility to accept the words of his ministers. How can he turn a blind eye, let the situation worsen, let the mining supervision and taxes harm the people, and make the gentry resent the court?"

"Huaifu has been promoted to the court, and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If you enter Beijing, you will be promoted to the cabinet ministers again, there will be Huaifu. At that time, the Fuqing minister will be helped, and we will also raise our arms and call the leader. The traitors in the court will be like a dog, and they will collapse and collapse." Zhou Chaorui, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, laughed and took Yang Lian's hand and said, "It is the time for Dahong to enter Beijing at this time. Exit the traitors and advise Your Majesty. It is the time for you to do your best."

"Dare you not obeying?"

Yang Lian smiled knowingly. The party had long discussed the matter of Huai Fu as the Minister of Revenue and the court's promotion to the cabinet, and now it has entered the substantive process. At this critical moment, he was at the right time to show his skills.

"Dahong's resignation has always been sharp. We will wait and see if you move the world." Hui Shiyang was also excited.

Zuo Guangdou said hatefully: "If you want to blame this, you will blame Siming Gong. If it weren't for him, the mining tax envoy would have been gone long ago. How could there be chaos everywhere today?"

The Siming Gong was the chief minister of the resignation, Chen Yiguan. This person was the leader of the Zhejiang Party and had always been incompatible with the Donglin Party. The previous episode was also a big trouble for the Donglin Party. He took advantage of the Yi Si Jingzhao, the demon book, the fake King of Chu and other cases, and finally drove him out of the court.

However, when Chen Yiguan was the chief minister, he had an excellent opportunity to cancel the mine tax entrusted. It was seven years ago, that is, the 30th year of Wanli. One day, Chen Yiguan suddenly received the emperor's call and asked him to enter the palace immediately. The eunuch who was passing the oral order at that time looked panicked. Chen Yiguan thought that something big happened to the emperor, so he hurriedly walked to the palace under the guidance of the eunuch.

After arriving at the Western Warehouse in the back hall, Chen Yiguan suddenly felt a low and depressing atmosphere as soon as he entered the room. According to his own note afterwards, he saw the emperor wearing his usual dress, sitting on the ground, looking sick. Empress Dowager Li stood behind the emperor with a worried face. Prince Zhu Changluo and several princes knelt in front of the emperor with tears in their eyes.

This scene made Chen Yiguan realize something big was happening, and hurriedly knelt behind the prince and others. In the 13th year of regent, this was Chen Yiguan's first close contact with the emperor. He had only seen the emperor once before, and that was the emperor attending the ceremony of offering Japanese prisoners at the Meridian Gate. At that time, he stood below and didn't have a clear understanding of the emperor.

Wanli spoke, staring at Chen Yiguan and said weakly: "I am critically ill. The prince will give it to the wise man. I have been at the top for twenty years and have no major mistakes. It is just a matter of mining tax. Because the palace has not been completed and the shortage of silver has been short of silver, I will stop all the orders sent by the internship. After that, the emperor asked his left and right to lie back on the bed.

Seeing this, Chen Yiguan really thought that the emperor was seriously ill and cried loudly. The empress dowager, the prince and other kings also burst into tears.

That night, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Nine Ministers of the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers were both sleeping in the courtroom in case of accidents. Chen Yiguan was even ready to ascend the throne.

At the third anniversary of the day, the envoy of the Central Government came to the cabinet with the imperial edict and handed over the imperial edict to Chen Yiguan. The content was roughly the same as what the emperor said to Chen during the day. This made the ministers of the foreign dynasty who had always opposed the imperial edict and were relieved while worried about the emperor's illness.

However, the emperor's condition improved the next day. After he recovered, the emperor immediately sent an envoy to the cabinet, asking Chen Yiguan for the imperial edict last night, and at the same time conveying the oral edict to Chen: "Mine tax cannot be discontinued!"

Chen Yiguan was stunned at first, then felt embarrassed. He said to the envoy: "Last night, Your Majesty said to me personally 'Abolish the mining tax'. Everyone knows that all civil and military officials are afraid that it will spread all over the country, so how can I collect it back? Besides, you have no jokes, so how do you tell me how to face the world?"

Chen Yiguan was hesitant, but unexpectedly, after hearing the report, the emperor sent more than 20 envoys to the cabinet in succession to ask him for the holy decree from last night. Chen Yiguan was in a dilemma and finally handed over the holy decree.

In the palace, Tian Yi, the eunuch of the Sili family, was also fighting with the emperor for the "Sage Order". He persuaded the emperor with great since the emperor agreed to suspend the mining tax, he should not repent! Without any jokes, how can you go back on your word and make people laugh at the world? What kind of face will you do to dominate the world again in the future?

After hearing this, Wanli felt that Tian Yi's words hurt his self-esteem. He was so angry that he turned around the imperial case several times. He looked up and found the sword hanging on the wall. He grabbed it and pulled out the sword and stabbed it straight at Tian Yi. Tian Yi did not retreat at all, but at this moment, a middle envoy returned to the palace with the sage imperial edict.

Tian Yi was extremely angry and rushed out of the palace in two steps, heading straight to the cabinet public room east of the Wumen Gate. Seeing Chen Yiguan, he spat hard on the ground and angrily scolded Chen: "Good husband, as timid as a mouse! The mining tax has been harassing him for a long time. Don't you know? Today, I finally got the chance. The emperor ordered the removal. If my husband insisted, the mining tax could be terminated!"

Therefore, Chen Yiguan has been attacking the outside court, and was eventually impeached by Kedao during the Yisi Jingchao and resigned from his post in anger.

All the officials of the sect were quite young and were indignant about what happened back then. They would not look at this from the perspective of Chen Yiguan. They only felt that Chen Yiguan flattered the king and had no principle of ministers, which led to the increasingly corrupt government affairs, and also caused the mining supervision and tax spread throughout the world and caused turmoil.

"Dahong has always dared to act, but today I will not mention major issues. Let us welcome you, how many drinks of him?"

"That's the point!" Yang Lian laughed.

Hui Shiyang pulled Yang Lian over and everyone went to the carriage with him. Yang Lian saw that there was one of the people in the crowd who looked familiar with him and was not a person from the Taoist Technique. He couldn't help but wonder, so he asked Hui Shiyang, "What is this?"

"Oh, Dahong, come on, let me introduce you." Hui Shiyang pulled the man over and said to Yang Lian with a smile: "This is named Wang Wenyan, who is a private official of the Eastern Palace Wang An. When the Emperor Wang heard that you have entered Beijing, he specially asked him to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Yang Lian hurriedly said to Wang Wenyan: "Please tell Eunuch Wang for me, Dahong thanks him!"

Yang Lian had to thank him. He was selected as the first integrity official by the Ministry of Personnel, which was recommended by Yang Shiqiao, who was also a member of the Donglin Party, and also by Wang An's appreciation for him. He strongly requested to approve the red in the Sili Supervisory Office. Otherwise, if the foreign court reports to the outside court and the inner court does not approve him, how could Yang Lian be famous all over the world?

Wang Wenyan hurriedly said a few words. His coming to greet Yang Lian on behalf of Wang An was just a symbolic meaning and there was no need to say anything more.

All the Donglin Party members present, and there is no need to hide anything. In the inner court, except for the eunuch Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of the seal, and the Donglin Party, the one who is most willing to contact the Donglin Party members is the eunuch who is in charge of the Sili Hall, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, and the prince’s personal eunuch.

The prince and the Donglin Party are closer because of the prince. These are self-evident. After so many years of struggle, the Donglin Party has always firmly supported the prince, otherwise there would not be a young master today.

After the Taoist officials of Zhongke got on the carriage, they set out towards the capital, and Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Chaorui and others sat in the first car.

After the carriage slowly drove, Zuo Guangdou suddenly stopped the driver, and then shouted to a young man leaning on the carriage by the side of the road: "Aren't you Wei Liangchen of Suning?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaorui and others were surprised: Which Wei Liangchen in Suning?
