The officials of the Tongzhengsi Department are not of high quality, and they are not visible in the capital of the capital where high officials gather and nobles gather. However, the Tongzhengsi Department has extremely heavy power. It is responsible for cashing in the emperor's orders, understanding the affairs of the subordinates, and reporting on the official documents of the pass.

Report to the ministers from all directions, the people have made feudal comments, complaints, military situations, disasters and other matters.

The government and government cleared the upper and lower channels, and made the emperor clear and clear eyes. In the words of scholars in Shen Rui's previous life, it was the highest national news and communication agency and the central petition department directly controlled by the emperor.

The Tongzheng Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, and is in the seventh rank of the official position. He is responsible for receiving and receiving documents and transferring documents and using seals for the yamen.

First, there was a case of Qingzhuan Quan Gongshi being destroyed and rolled up the paper, and then there was anonymous book in the Imperial Road to relieve the danger of kneeling and punishment. Shen Rui was promoted from the Hanlin Review from the seventh rank to the Tongzhengsi and the seventh rank, but only the first rank

, naturally no one has any objections.

But anyone with discerning eyes also knows that Shen Rui is going to be reused.

Since the young emperor ascended the throne, the personnel of the Tongzhengsi have changed a lot. Lu Heng was the Minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, Zhang Lun was the Right Censor of the Censorate, Huang Bao was the Prefectural Prefecture of Yingtian Prefecture, and Xiong Wei was promoted from the Right Senate to

The left senator and the right senator were promoted to the left senatorial censor and governor Datong, the local government, and the local government was promoted to the local government's military affairs.

In the second year of Zhengde, in addition to Li Hao and Cong Lan were promoted step by step, he was promoted to the post of the Ministry of Revenue and Li Zan, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, Luo Qinzhong, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Right Temple.

The right Senate of Wei Neju.

This is also the reason why Shen Ying's resignation after his worries came back and was unable to resume his post and joined the Tongzheng Department, and finally returned to the Zhan Shi Mansion.

The Tongzhengsi Department, a "place that military strategists must fight for", were closely watched by several cabinet masters, and there were also Liu Da and Wei Ne.

Liu Jin's movements were even bigger. Not only did he insert his own people, but he was also further excluding outsiders. In June and July of the third year of Zhengde, Li Zan, who had only been in the Tongzhengsi Department for a year, was demoted!

Li Zan was demoted to Wengui for Taicang silver from the Ministry of Revenue on the grounds of repairing borders. Gu Zuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said that the salt price and silver were not paid, and there was no money to pay it. Liu Jin was dissatisfied, so naturally

He wanted to instigate the emperor to issue an order to investigate, and all officials in charge would be punished. Li Zan sued Raozhou for the crime of delay.

Ren Liangbi was even more unfair. He has always been upright and did not avoid the powerful and powerful. He was able to be promoted to the fifth rank of the seventh rank of the senator and promoted to the fifth rank of the senator. He was promoted to the fourth rank of the 4th rank, which shows his ability and holy relatives.

Such people naturally would not buy Liu Jin's account. They also had a conflict with Liu Jin's people because of the question of whether some memorials impeached Liu Jin were submitted. Liu Jin held a grudge. In the end, he was demoted to the magistrate of Jianchang Prefecture, Jiangxi for his unfair seal.

Although Shen Rui's entry into the Tongzhengsi this time was just a small experience and was suppressed by all the people above, he was still called by Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe, Yang Zhen and other relatives one by one to remind him repeatedly.

Especially, in this incident of the Anonymous Book of the Imperial Road, Shen Rui had a conflict with Liu Jin.

Liu Jin made the edict and asked all officials to kneel at Fengtian Gate, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among all officials. It was just because Chen Kuan and Shen Rui arrived in time and stopped early. Except for the unwell of the elders, no one appeared as if Shen Rui had died of a sunburn in his previous life.

The bad consequences of dying of thirst did not erupt in all the anger of all officials.

Moreover, the "forgiveness" was a rumor that spread in the inner court. There was no real evidence, and no one dared to impeach rashly.

In particular, the little emperor did not admit it or pursued the responsibility. On the contrary, giving melons and ice was like a post-disaster.

Later, the little emperor approved the establishment of an expert factory, which was personally under the control of Liu Jin, and his power was far above the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory.

The ministers also gained a new understanding of the little emperor's favor for Liu Jin, and Liu Jin seemed to have become lawless due to this favor.

The matter of Fengrun County farmland is still under investigation. It is difficult to tell the difference because there are too many royal families and relatives involved. However, there is a village where the refugees who should have been sent back to their hometowns are accurate. Liu Jin took the refugees in.

After writing, he suddenly issued a decree to rectify the capital: all the guest servants of the capital were expelled, and all widows were ordered to marry, and those who were mourned and not buried were burned.

The affairs of the experts in the East and West Factory were particularly fierce. The Qing Dynasty exiled people who were unemployed in the city of Beijing, such as bartenders, grinders, and water sales, which caused chaos in the city, and the chickens and dogs were uneasy, and more than a thousand people were expelled in one day.

There are more than ten thousand passengers in the capital! Sijiu City is in a state of turmoil and uneasy.

How could those who were expelled be willing? Many people gathered in the eastern suburbs and threatened to stab Liu Jin to death. Some of them were brave enough to rob the official roads or loot the villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and the order was very bad.

The reason why widows marry all the widows touched the bottom line of ethics. Many court officials had widowed mothers and widowed sisters-in-law. In this way, the ministers immediately wrote letters to impeach Liu Jin.

Liu Jin was not afraid of impeachment, but probably because he was afraid of the assassination. Sure enough, a group of civilians ambushed him with a sharp blade. Although he was protected by his escort, he was really scared and then asked for an order in panic.

, these three decrees were abolished.

The previous riots were probably the middle and lower classes in the middle and lower classes of the capital. In the chaos, the land case in Fengrun County made new progress, which shocked the upper circle of the capital, and the Sijiu City was in an uproar.

Once the Empress Dowager passed, he ordered King Rong to take up the vassal. King Rong took all the nearly 500 farmlands in Fengrun County and returned to the court. He also gave him seven farmlands in Xiangluzhou and other places in Changde Prefecture. He had a total of more than 630 hectares and Rong.

The king gave Changlu salt and three hundred salts.

How much does the land in Changde Prefecture in Huguang cost? How to compare it with the surrounding area of ​​the capital! What is the value of 300 salt entries? What's more, it's difficult to say it's given, but it's hard to cash it out.

King Rong had no decent status when he left the capital.

Although the little emperor has been constantly slapping the royal family since he ascended the throne, especially when he is never ruthless to King Rong, this time he is really too disrespectful to King Rong.

The court officials were worried about the reaction of the vassal state. However, the princesses led by Princess Chun'an reported a report and asked to check the fields under their name to prevent the servants and the villains from causing trouble and disturbing the people.

He brought the royal reputation to the emperor; he also voluntarily donated part of the land to resettle the people who lost their land to share the worries of the emperor.

It was not unexpected for everyone to do this. She had always been on the side of the little emperor and had chosen the relative Zhang family of the foreign relative. This time, the Empress Dowager Shengdan, and he heard that she had entered the palace to congratulate him.

The Empress Dowager was in the harem for a long time, and then he visited the princess's mansions with the eldest princess of Deqing, and finally this result was achieved.

However, Princess Yongkang had frequently entered the palace to cry to Queen Mother Zhang, and secretly connected with several "involved" families. She found some censors to exonerate them, but she just bit the meat that was in the mouth and refused to release them.

.

But when Princess Chun'an came to her house, especially after King Rong left the capital in a somewhat embarrassed manner, she suddenly changed her temper and spit out the land occupied by Fengrun County, and also learned from the Duke of England.

Double repayment also compensates for the annual tax arrears.

She was like this, and the other princesses followed suit even more quickly.

The eldest princess Chun'an has a high seniority among the royal family. The princess Cai Zhen is in charge of the clan's mansion. Her family takes the lead in expressing her opinion. The princesses follow up. In this way, the other princes have become vassals early. There is not much land in the suburbs of Beijing, and it does not involve individuals.

Who would have the interests to be for the King Rong who lost power? His face was calm and quiet. It is unknown whether he was dissatisfied inside.

The princesses reported the report, and the relative Zhou family responded, and they were also dealt with like the eldest princess Yongkang and the Duke of England.

But his family's farmland is different.

His family has 870 hectares of farmland in Fengrun County, one of which is connected to the land of Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang. During the Hongzhi Dynasty, the two families fought the lawsuit to the Golden Palace due to nearly a hundred gluts of neighboring land.

It was said that the Zhou family and Zhang family fought each other because of the land grabbing. Zhou Shou's younger brother, Zhou Yu, also fought with Zhang Heling because of the land grabbing. At that time, the two slaves fought each other with weapons.

It was a big mess.

Emperor Hongzhi would beat forty boards most of the time, but in his heart, he was actually more partial to his brother-in-law. Of course, from the perspective of checks and balances, he also wanted to use the Zhang family to suppress the Zhou family, which had been rampant for many years in the Xianzong Dynasty.

Shou lost the battle for land this time, and in the end most of the land was transferred to the Zhang family and the small half of the land was transferred to the Zhou family.

However, the land that Zhang Zhou fought for was actually intended to be given to King Yong.

At that time, King Yong was in Hengzhou, and Emperor Hongzhi granted land near Hengzhou, so the matter was left to nothing.

Now King Yong has died of illness in the first month of the second year of Zhengde. Because he had no children, his country was destroyed. His concubine and his family moved to Beijing. After Princess Yong returned to Beijing, he wrote a letter to ask for land in Fengrun County. At that time, the young emperor did not give in.

The Zhou family of Zhang family returned the land, but instead gave the land to Princess Yong in Dingxing, and the land in the two counties of the city was given to Princess Yong.

This time, the Zhou family retired from the land, and Princess Yong wrote another letter, but did not propose to the land in Fengrun County. Instead, it said that all the widows in their homes were guarding widows and had no descendants to raise them, and there was no need for much land. I was willing to follow the example of the princesses and return the land to the people.

The court did its best.

Xia Ru, the new father-in-law of this dynasty, has always been cautious. It is very different from the Zhou and Zhang families in the previous dynasty. After receiving Qianqing Tuo Tianyuan, he was a little nervous. When the incident in Fengrun County came, the Xia family also wanted to offer the fields, but they were afraid of Zhou.

Zhang did not move. His family would be able to make a move rashly, and the two companies would join forces to deal with it.

At this time, seeing that the Zhou family stood up first, the palace sent another shocking news, and the Xia family hurriedly stood up.

Behind his family, he naturally followed two other royal relatives, the Shen family and the Wu family.

Which dynasty is not a royal relative and the country rushes to seek rewards, but when it comes to this dynasty, they rush to offer the land. For a moment, all officials are stunned, while the people are happy, and they all say that the wise and wise are now.

The little emperor was naturally very happy. All the princesses and relatives and children were rewarded to a certain extent. Princess Yong, who had no son, also gave him a thousand stones of support and support rice every year.

But in the midst of the storm and hustle and bustle, the Zhang family of the foreign relative was quiet.

*

Only when Shen Rui joined the Tongzhengsi Department was he truly able to see the full picture of the Ming Empire.

Every day, a large number of military and political comments from all over the country poured into the Tongzhengsi, involving all aspects of the Ming Empire. Shen Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder the emperors didn't like to read the comments. If they had to read these comments alone,

Reply, it was really time to eat and sleep every day.

However, Shen Rui must admit that these notes also allowed him to grow up quickly.

He had traveled with Wang Shouren and had a deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people along the way to Songjiang to the capital. He thought he had some knowledge of the real life of the Ming Dynasty. However, what he saw and knew was compared with what he reflected in the comments. There is still a big gap.

What he knew was the situation in the relatively prosperous areas of the Ming Dynasty, and this vast empire had complex and diverse people's sentiments.

Therefore, he was very glad that he was still rational and had no brains and forced himself to sell his "reform propositions" from his previous life when he was angry.

The work in Tongmatsu is busy and fulfilling, probably because it’s too busy. Although there are people in Tongmatsu, the interpersonal relationships are not as bad as he imagined.

Before being transferred to the Tongzheng Department, Chen Ying took Shen Rui to visit his old acquaintance. Although many of the acquaintances who worked with Chen Ying three years ago were transferred, many of them were promoted to senior management, such as the one who was with Chen Ying three years ago. Cong Lan, the old minister of Chen Ying, who was also a senator, is now the right-wing political party.

This is also a capable minister, just like Ren Liangbi. He was promoted from the Military Affairs Office to the General Secretary in the 14th year of Hongzhi.

Due to the recent two incidents, Cong Lan has a very good impression of Shen Rui. He heard that Shen Rui's Qingzun Shunshu Shop has completed the examination records and examination texts of the current subject. He is now publishing the Jingwei Martial Arts Cong Lan was also very interested in Cao Dian and Military Book. He was once a transfer department and a military department clerk. He knew a lot about many things and had a very speculative conversation with Shen Rui.

In addition to the palace examination records, the timely texts, Cao Dian, and military books, Qingzun also printed the poetry collections of Yang Shen and Dai Dabin. Both of them were excellent in poetry, and these two collections were once published. The Beijing Sergeant Lin is hotly discussed and sought after.

There are also many literati and poets who are itchy and come to Qingzhuan to publish manuscripts. Among them, there are colleagues from Tongzhengsi, which makes Shen Rui more popular in the yamen.

But on this day, Cai Liang posted a post saying that he had borrowed a garden from the eldest princess and invited Shen Rui and his wife to have a small gathering, and Pang Tianqing was accompanied by him.

Shen Rui naturally happily went to the appointment and said to Yang Tian with a gossip: "Maybe it was a collection of old Pang's jealous brother and Bin Zhong. He also came up with a book, but he was embarrassed to tell me that he wanted his brother-in-law to be the host. ”

Yang Tian covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Cheung Pang is also a talented person. What's the difficulty of publishing this collection? How can you control it? You'd better be a boss and ask for the seriousness of Mobao."
