Chapter 586
After the messenger entered, he knelt down on one knee with the music. Lu Fang took the memorial and carefully checked the red lacquer. He confirmed that there was no problem. He looked at Jiajing. Jiajing nodded. Lu Fang immediately opened it and took out the memorial. After confirming that there was no problem inside, he immediately handed it to Jiajing with both hands.
Jiajing took it and looked carefully. Just as it was about to start, Jiajing was very excited. Zhang Hao succeeded and now surrounded the Qin King's mansion. The reason was that the prince of the Qin King and the Qin King ambushed Zhang Hao. Now Xi'an City has been controlled.
But when I looked down, Jiajing's face became bad. Zhang Hao wrote in the memorial that Shaanxi was very poor and he was collecting taxes last year.
Moreover, according to the news, the Qin King controlled 30% of the land in the entire Shaanxi Province, and the officials controlled 30% of the land, and the remaining 40% were the people, and the people were simply unable to make a living. In addition, all the officials were basically corrupted by the prince. Now, the court is requested to send officials to Shanxi immediately to replace the county magistrates, prefects and prefects, and all Shaanxi officials!
"Bold, King Qin is bold, damn!" After seeing Zhang Hao's last, Jiajing was so angry that Shaanxi became like this. This was something Jiajing didn't expect. Jiajing knew that the King of Qin must have controlled a lot of officials in Shaanxi, but it was said that they were all controlled, which was something that Jiajing could not have imagined. As soon as he got angry, everyone knelt down.
"Okay, you go down, come here, give me a reward of 5 taels!" Jiajing said to the messenger who came to deliver the letter.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldier kowtowed immediately and Lu Fang also went to withdraw the money immediately. The soldier withdrew under the escort of the Jinyiwei.
"Come here, I'll tell you that the six ministers and above, the censors of the Censorate and the Cabinet Minister came to the Danfang. I want to discuss matters with them!" Jiajing sat down and said, and the father-in-laws here were gone out immediately.
As soon as the messenger came over, the cabinet received the news. They knew that it was probably from Shaanxi. Otherwise, it would be impossible to expedite 800 miles. Of course, it might be the border military information. But now it is already spring. It is impossible for the Tatars to expedite the border, or it is the Japanese pirates from the south. However, the Japanese pirates from the south do not need to expedite 800 miles. So the ministers thought that it was probably the matter in Shaanxi.
"Gemaster Xu, do you know the news? A messenger just went to the Danfang, which was urgently 800 miles away. I guess it was from Shaanxi. Zhang Hao had been to Shaanxi for more than half a month, so it should be news!" Yan Song sat down and asked Xu Jie.
"I don't know this, but even if there is news, it probably won't be so fast. After all, calculating the time, it's not a few days since Zhang Hao arrived in Shaanxi. There may be important news?" Xu Jie heard it, touched his beard and said, not believing that something happened in Shaanxi. After all, Zhang Hao had just passed by, what could he find?
"Well, it may be bad news. The King of Qin knew that Lu An went over, so it must be intentional. The King of Qin could not sit still and wait for death, so it is normal for anything to happen!" Yu Dafang also sighed,
He was in Shanxi before, but he was very familiar with those vassal kings. He knew how powerful their methods were. They didn't care about the officials at all. If they wanted to deal with you, they could deal with them at any time. After all, they were a royal family. Unless it was a very important matter, the emperor would not really punish them severely. However, those officials were in trouble and had no choice but to endure it. Now that Zhang Hao was going to Shaanxi, Yu Dafang was actually very worried, worried that Zhang Hao could not deal with the King of Qin.
"Yes, how could Zhang Hao find anything so easily when the King of Qin runs Shaanxi for generations?" Yan Song nodded and said, but thought, if it weren't for this matter, what would happen? It's a big deal to speed up the eight hundred miles, otherwise it wouldn't be used.
At this moment, a father-in-law came to the Danfang. After coming in, he bowed to them and then said, "Your Majesty's order, the Minister of the Xuan Cabinet will go to the Danfang to discuss!"
"Yes!" All the cabinet ministers stood up and bowed to the father-in-law. The father-in-law at this moment was the emperor.
They set off soon and headed to Yuxi Palace, but they were muttering in their hearts, what was going on? After they arrived at the Danfang, Lu Fang asked them to wait. After all, the officials of the six ministries have not arrived yet.
"Eunuch Lu, what's going on? Let us know in advance. We will be prepared at that time, right?" Yan Song stood there, looking at Lu Fang in a low voice and asked.
"Well. I don't know what the matter about Shaanxi is. I haven't read the memorial yet. However, I guess there is trouble. In addition, you also need to be prepared!" Lu Fang said. He had indeed not read the memorial, but he was very happy to see Jiajing at first, and he was very angry when he saw Jiajing later. He couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what Zhang Hao wrote in the memorial...

"You haven't seen it?" Xu Jie also looked at Lu Fang in shock.
"No. Eight hundred miles of rush, can I see that?" Lu Fang shook his head and said. Now that they heard it, their mood became heavier. That must be a big deal. Xu Jie is even more so. His son-in-law is in Shaanxi.
What should I do if there is something, my daughter? Although I have a son, the Marquis will probably be able to inherit it, but how can my daughter live? Xu Jie was confused at the moment and didn't know what to do. At this moment, he felt his hands trembling and praying in his heart. Zhang Hao must not have anything. If something happens, he doesn't know how to comfort his daughter.
Soon, all the officials of the six ministries and the officials of the Censorate arrived. Then Lu Fang took them in. When he arrived at the Danfang, he saw that Jiajing's face was so gloomy that everyone felt that it was not good.
"Everyone is here, ah, the people of the Censorate, what have you done over the years? The Ministry of Revenue is scattered, you have not noticed, and you have not noticed that the local officials are scattered,
The officials in Shanxi are terrible, but you still haven't noticed it. Now all the officials in Shaanxi have surrendered to the King of Qin, but you still haven't noticed it. This time, you have recommended the list of officials from the Ministry of Revenue. You have also mobilized officials from Shaanxi. What are you doing? Ah, what are the officials in the Censorate who are doing?" Jiajing was so angry that he cursed at the officials of the Censorate. All the officials who were scolding knelt down. They had not had time to salute and were about to be scolded now.
"Lu Fang, read Zhang Hao's memorial and let them know what happened in Shaanxi!" After Jiajing finished scolding, he gave the memorial to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang took it, opened it, and looked at it for a while. He was shocked, but there was still a hint of surprise. Zhang Hao completed the task assigned by His Majesty in Shaanxi.
"Mr. Lu An, the imperial envoy of Shaanxi Road, Zhang Hao, came to the emperor. On the fifth day of the second month, I was besieged by the prince of Qin. The prince of Qin used 1,200 troops in Shaanxi. The prince of Qin and his team of more than 400 guards from various prefectures to siege the streets of Shaanxi. My guards risked their lives to protect them and wiped out the assassins.
At the same time, on the second day of the second month, I was besieged by a prince of the Qin king in the market. I killed more than 20 sons of the Qin prince, and dismissed the left governor of Shaanxi, commander of Shaanxi, and censor of Shaanxi. I never thought that on the fifth day of the second month, they attacked again. After pacifying the attack, I immediately sent someone to take over the gate of Xi'an city and surrounded the Qin prince's mansion, the prince's mansions, the generals of the towns, and the generals of the auxiliary state. Now I report the situation one by one. "Lu Fang has been reciting the memorial written by Zhang Hao,
When the ministers heard this, they were shocked. They did not expect that Shaanxi would dare to collect taxes. They did not expect that the King of Qin and his team had become local emperors in Shaanxi and controlled all the main officials of the government in Shaanxi. Now the Shaanxi side is terrible.
Zhang Hao has mobilized 50,000 troops from Shaanxi according to His Majesty's order to prepare for the Tatars to attack. At the same time, he also needs to replace the generals in Shaanxi, and those generals were also bribed by the King of Qin.
In addition, the Ministry of Personnel needs to inspect officials, all county magistrates and prefects in Shaanxi need to be replaced. If there is no problem in the investigation of Shaanxi officials, they can be placed in other places, but they cannot be kept in Shaanxi, etc. All of those people were stunned at this moment.
"Did you hear it? Did you hear it? How brave are they to attack the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty or attack in Xi'an City? Is it because I have passed by and they dare to kill?" As soon as Lu Fang finished reading, Jiajing began to curse.
"I should die!" Yan Song and the others all knelt down at this moment.
"It's so bad, you don't know. If it weren't for my feeling that something was wrong in Shaanxi, I still don't know. Shaanxi reported a rebellion last year, so I would be surprised. I didn't even collect taxes. How could the people be in chaos? Last year, the Tatars were active in Shaanxi, and there were no other places. For this reason, the Ministry of War specially allocated 200,000 taels of silver and a large amount of pig iron. Who did you investigate? Ah, the Censorate, have you checked?" Jiajing shouted in anger.
"I am in vain!" All the officials of the Censorate kowtowed and said.
"I, order you to send personnel to Shaanxi to assist Zhang Hao, so that Zhang Hao can thoroughly sort out the matter in Shaanxi and obey Zhang Hao's arrangements. In addition, the Ministry of Personnel will select officials and report them to me. I will personally select officials from Shaanxi, including the county magistrate!" Jiajing continued to shout to them,
Chapter completed!
