The matter was caused by the mining tax issue.

In Suzhou, a civil warrior, who was the leader of Ge, began to parade the streets because of opposition to taxation, and surrounded the Taxation Bureau, killing several people from the Weaving Office, which scared the weaving eunuch Sun Long to escape from the wall. From then on, he dared to stay in Hangzhou and never dared to step into Suzhou again.

After the news came out, Wanli was angry and uneasy. Because since he sent the mining tax entrusted by others, there have been many civil wars in various places, but it has never happened in Jiangnan. Moreover, there are a lot of taxes in weaving in Jiangnan. After this civil war, I am afraid that the tax will be greatly reduced and affect the income of the internal warehouse.

Wanli sent an instructor to the cabinet and asked the cabinet ministers what good ideas they had.

Chen Yiguan knew the emperor's intention very well and knew that the emperor could not stop the mining tax. The emperor suddenly issued an order to cancel the mining tax, but he regretted it as soon as the sky was dawn. It was because his Siming Gong failed to insist, so the withdrawal of the mining was shattered. At that time, the eunuch of Sili pointed at him and cursed. This was something he was worried about. But he also understood that even if he did not return the order, the emperor would not be able to be the mining tax envoy.

So he thought for a long time and proposed the method of "tax and mines to cover taxes", that is, he instructed officials from all provinces to collect taxes according to the approved amount of mine supervision. Or he may issue tax indicators to the private sector at one time and be paid by the local government in silver.

This approach can not only prevent the emperor's treasury tax revenue from the treasury, but also reduce local pressure. Because if the tax collection is implemented in detail, local governments and wealthy households will not pay more taxes, and the people who ultimately increase the tax will be the ordinary people.

Wanli thought this method was good, but Chen Li retorted on the spot that the Prime Minister proposed the method to change the soup and not the medicine.

Chen Li believes that the important thing at the moment is not to change the tax collection method, but to withdraw all the mining supervision taxes spread all over the country to calm the wrath of the people and make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

When Wanli heard this, he didn't have to discuss it anymore and left without asking for it.

According to Chen Li, Wanli has been working in vain over the years.

Well, Sun Long was driven to Hangzhou and then Hangzhou. Without the taxes in Suzhou, at least there would be taxes in Hangzhou. But if all taxes were withdrawn according to Chen Li, then Wanli would be unable to see any taxes.

Chen Yiguan was naturally dissatisfied with Chen Li refuting himself in front of the emperor.

After that, there have been incidents in various places.

In terms of how to deal with it, Chen Li's opinions are inconsistent with Shen Yiguan. One of the first assistants should face east and the other should face west, making it difficult for the cabinet to operate.

Liang Yong, a tax envoy from Shaanxi, asked the emperor to approve him to take over the position of "guarding", but stopped because Chen Li stopped. In addition, Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mining Supervisor, planned to lead the trained soldiers to Beijing to express their feelings to the emperor in the name of tribute. Chen Li went to the palace overnight to report to the emperor to stop it...

All of this, Chen Li went directly to the chief assistant Chen Yiguan and acted alone, which made Chen Yiguan very unhappy. He understood that the purpose of Chen Li doing this was to replace him.

Wanli once demoted many officials due to the dispute over the foundation of the country. Chen Li believed that the foundation of the country had been decided and the officials who were demoted and removed should be restored, but Chen Yiguan did not agree. Wanli agreed and issued a grace edict, but was granted a title by Chen Yiguan.

This incident further intensified the dispute between the two Shens.

Chen Yiguan was thinking about how to drive Chen Li away, and Chen Li was also plotting to expel Chen Yiguan.

Chen Li’s helper is Li Sancai.

He instructed Li Sancai to write a letter to attack Chen Yiguan, so Li Sancai published a entitled "Extremely Chen the Great Pass of the State Governance and Chaos", which was to attack Chen Yiguan.

In the memorial, Li Sancai said that Chen Yiguan has always been ulterior motives and was worried that the reinstatement of officials would retaliate against him, so he obstructed it from being implemented.

It also said that since the emperor's edict had been issued, it was put on hold, which made the people and censors all over the world think that the emperor was just a moment of happiness.

When Wanli was listening to the eunuchs in the Ganqing Palace, he was displeased. He thought that Li Sancai was using the mouth of a censor to attack him, which was very disrespectful, so he issued an edict to impose a salary on Li Sancai. However, Wanli was also dissatisfied with Chen Yiguan's lip service and not actively implementing the imperial edict.

Chen Yiguan also knew that it was inappropriate to return the emperor's edict and pretended to be sick at home, but he knew about major incidents in the court.

When he heard that the emperor was angry and punished Li Sancai, the Siming Gong was secretly happy and quickly wrote a secret letter to the emperor, which proposed to arrest Li Sancai, Chen Li and Guo Zhengyu, and punished the crime of forming a clique and chasing the country.

Wanli was shocked when he read the secret letter from the chief minister. He said to Chen Ju, the eunuch who was in charge of seals, and said, "The master of the cabinet is really sick! It is simply incredible. How could I arrest a minister, a minister, and a minister for his comments?"

After saying that, Wanli grabbed the pen and whispered in Shen Yiguan's secret letter: "Since you are sick, I'll just follow my arrangements later."

Obviously, Wanli intends to let the 72-year-old Chen Yiguan leave and return home. After all, the prime minister is not too obedient, especially his attitude towards the foundation of the country has always made him mind. If another prime minister is replaced, the position of the Eastern Palace has probably not yet been decided.

Speaking of which, the prime minister who really reassured Wanli was Wang Xijue, but unfortunately, he could not recover.

The eunuch Chen Ju, the chief eunuch of Sili, had a close relationship with the Donglin Party, and the two sides had their own channels of contact. Soon, Li Sancai, who was far away in Fengyang, learned about the emperor's attitude from Chen Ju.

As a think tank in Donglin, Li Sancai saw from it that the emperor was already very dissatisfied with Chen Yiguan, and the opportunity to completely drive Chen Yiguan away and suppress the Zhejiang Party was here. He quickly wrote a memorial, which emphasized that because Chen Yiguan was narrow-minded, the chief assistant and the second assistant Chen Li were incompatible, resulting in poor government orders. He also revealed that Chen Yiguan was corrupt and accepted several bribes.

Gu Xiancheng, who was far away in Wuxi, had a sharp nose and immediately wrote to the Donglin officials in Beijing, asking them to attack together, and be sure to defeat Shen Yiguan.

Donglin Party members, Chen Liangxun, the clerk of the official department, and Sun Juxiang, the censor, took action immediately and spread the rumors that "The Siming situation will not last long!"

Under the command of Li Sancai, Kedao, controlled by Donglin, submitted memorials to impeach Chen Yiguan's "forming a clique" and "corruption". The matter became more and more troubled, and Chen Yiguan's position in the court was in danger.

Soon, under pressure from both inside and outside, Chen Yiguan finally returned to his hometown in Zhejiang. It is better to take his leave than the emperor who drove him away.

However, before leaving, Chen Yipeng was worried that if Chen Li stayed in the cabinet, it would be detrimental to Zhejiang Party officials, so he sent someone to bribe the eunuchs around the emperor and instructed them to say more about Shen Li's fault in front of the emperor, so that Chen Li could not settle down. Wanli had already felt that Chen Li had caused trouble after entering the cabinet, so he simply drove Chen Li away.

After Chen Yiguan successfully pulled Chen Li off his horse, he was worried that Li Sancai would definitely make a fortune in the future and be promoted to General Constitution. At that time, the Donglin Party would definitely replace the Zhejiang Party to control the government, so he instructed his confidants to seize the opportunity to impeach Li Sancai, especially to prevent him from being promoted to General Constitution or becoming a director of the cabinet.

What surprised Siming's husband was that just one year after he returned home, Li Sancai was suddenly demoted to a civilian by the emperor for stealing the imperial tomb trees.

This was undoubtedly a rain from the sky, and the happy husband Siming drank two more cups.

And this matter is Wei Liangchen's letter of fame
