Jinling shocked.

Things took a turn for the worse. Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, who is known as a gentleman, did not arrive at his public housing the next day. The Ministry of Revenue was wonderingly that Lord Xia has always been diligent and has been an official for decades. He has never heard of him being late or leaving early. Even if he is unhappy, someone should say hello and take a day off, but he has not been seen until the sun is noon.

Only later did everyone learn that this adult was taken by the Jinyiwei.

The city was sensational.

Because there was no sign in advance, and everyone had always known Xia Yuanji's character. This person was law-abiding and had almost no criticism. He had cured the floods in Jiangnan and western Zhejiang. In order to cure the water, he "walked in a common mansion, runs day and night, and does not have to sleep or eat, and his eyes were red." Since then, he has been promoted step by step and is honest. In Jinling, no one knows that the ministers in this temple are not a huge mansion. One person has achieved the Tao and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Even the gatekeeper in front of the mansion is wearing delicate satin, but Xia Yuanji only has three broken houses and cannot afford to hire a chef. As a last resort, Mrs. Xia has to cook and cook in person every day. Even Xia Yuanji's younger brother came to Jinling to visit him in person. Before leaving, Xia Yuanji only gave him two stones of rice.

After Xia Yuanji took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he cut redundant staff, averaged taxes and service, strictly implemented the salt law, money and other systems to facilitate the businessmen; he also cleaned up warehouses and added more garages. Therefore, although the court has repeatedly made great efforts recently, the money and grain were finally raised and no tax was imposed. In the event of disasters in various places, the Ministry of Revenue dispatched in time. No people's changes were caused.

Therefore, whether in the court or in the wild, everyone compared Xia Yuanji to beautiful jade, which was flawless. It is actually a role model for officials in the world.

But this time, the Jinyiwei took action. What's ridiculous is that according to many rumors, the Jinyiwei originally wanted to cure Xia Yuanji for corruption and abuse of power. After all, Xia Yuanji was the Minister of Revenue, and this kind of fat man in the world is the easiest to find economic problems, so he did nothing. Even the Jinyiwei could not handle the work and reported to the palace and said that the Xia Yuanji's mansion had been searched and found nothing except for the common man and pottery jar.

When Zhu Di saw it, he just frowned, and he didn't say anything.

The emperor did not speak, which meant that things would continue. The Jinyiwei had to appear everywhere. Finally, he "digged" a tank of silver in the backyard of Xia Yuanji's house, all of which were the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue. The evidence was conclusive.

It is also funny. Duke Luguo received an urgent report from Xingye. When he learned that Xia Yuanji was imprisoned, he was frightened and quickly submitted a memorial to excuse Xia Yuanji. Duke Luguo Hao Zheng even said deeply: "I am willing to protect the heads of the people, Duke Xia is honest and self-righteous, and he will not be greedy. I beg Your Majesty to remember his hard work and great contributions..."

These things came to the palace, and naturally did not change the emperor's will. When the emperor wanted to mess with someone, no one could tell me. Not to mention Duke Luguo, no one in the court's civil and military officials had to plead for him, but Zhu Di had no reply, and the Jinyiwei at the bottom had to work hard to advance the matter.

But in the market, there were shouting and cursing, all of which were saying that the Hao family cat cried rats. Now it was a big talk in the Qing Dynasty. Whether in the court or in the wild, they were now cursing. It was even reported that in western Zhejiang, some people directly took the blame to build a temple for Xia Yuanji, and even "yellow boys, old men, and worshiped them." Even the local parents and officials did not dare to object. This was a strange thing. The sinners who the court wanted to punish here suddenly regarded the Shangshu as a sage.

However, there was no one in the court who got angry about it.

Seeing that this matter was about to become a farce, news finally came in the palace. The more entangled this kind of thing, the more people's hearts were, it would be better to cut the mess quickly. Then, the order came down, and Xia Yuanji was convicted and sent a mate to the mate.

The meaning of mateing is nothing more than that the emperor is unwilling to mess with this guy. Since the emperor is not doing it, the Hao family should share the worries and make it a good job of tidying up this guy.

July 14th.

At the beginning of autumn, everything is bleak. Just at the long pavilion outside Chaoyang Gate, several men escorted Xia Yuanji and set off.

This Xiabutang was not troubled, and he had not even shackled him. He was wearing a white cloth that was washed with white hair, and his face was calm. Xia Yuanji was a gentleman, but he was definitely not a fool. Of course he knew why he had today, but... the river went east, success or failure was decided. Even if there were millions of grievances and anger, who would he tell him?

The autumn wind blew his face dry, but in front of him were some of his disciples and former officials.

They bowed deeply to him, some people sobbed, and some people occasionally said, "The treacherous ministers and traitors will not die well."

Xia Yuanji just smiled. He helped his disciple up and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Yang Shiqi went to Jiaozhi, but he didn't think that I would go with him. This is also good. The world is so big that I have never seen many things. So, I might as well travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books."

He waved his hand and walked out of the Changting. Several men did not dare to approach him too much and followed him from afar.

In the Changting, in addition to choking, there was an angry shout.

Great city.

The capital of Siam is here, and it is quite large. Siam kings have expanded several times and have now become somewhat more impressive.

There were 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, but at this time, the army had already set off, with 100,000 elite Siamese soldiers and Chen Jianzhen La, trying to fight to the death with the upcoming enemy of Jiaozhi.

In Siamese, this big city means an indestructible city. The walls here are towering and many fortifications are built. There are many Western countries and wars are frequent. Therefore, the defense of the Siam capital is the top priority. After the Siam king Zhaolu clan ascended the throne, he became a militarist and conquered Zhenla. Then he recruited 30,000 slaves in Zhenla to continue building the city, repairing the city walls, and building new pagodas to strengthen the defense.

Zhaolu Qunying was about fifty years old. At this time, he was in the middle palace and was sitting north. His complexion was not very good. In fact, at the beginning, what he wanted to maintain was a situation that he could not break. It was his intention to threaten the Ming Dynasty. It was his intention to force the Ming Dynasty to give in, but he never expected that this time he would cause a big mess.

The Ming Dynasty really moved troops. According to the news, the 50,000 Ming troops in Jiaozhi had begun to gather near Zhenla. The continuous Ming army began to establish military supply bases on the Zhenla line, with horse exploration and secret whistles everywhere, and war was about to break out.

Zhaolu Qunying was not worried about the 50,000 Ming army, but Zhaolu Qunying knew that facing such a huge figure as the Ming Dynasty, this was a war that could never be won. Behind these 50,000 Ming army, there was an unparalleled national strength and a million people. This war was destined to never be able to win.

But at the moment, they could only fight with one's teeth. Zhaolu Qunying finally understood that the Ming Dynasty was not without weaknesses. This war was just a border war for the Ming Dynasty, but for Siam, it was a battle of destiny. As long as Siam could persist, for two or three years, the Ming Dynasty would make concessions. They worked hard to expedition, and Siam occupied all the territory and delayed it would be beneficial to Siam.

Once the Ming Dynasty wants to truce, it may be the time for me to take this opportunity to expand my influence.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. His nephew had already gone to Zhenla and led an army of more than 100,000 to take it seriously. In this big city, Zhaolu Qunying was in charge. It was not that he didn't want to fight in person. But he understood that although there were many pro-Ming factions within the middle school of the country, and now the Ming Dynasty's great wars would inevitably make some people who were ready to move raise their heads. If they stay in the big city, they could curb these restless forces.

The Hao family's letters have arrived, and they are just those words such as cliff stopping. After reading them, Zhaolu Qunying threw them aside. At this moment, Zhaolu Qunying's ambitions were also aroused. He believed that he was not Annan, because all the signs showed that although the Ming Dynasty started a war, it did not mean to do its best. It just ordered the Ming army in Jiaozhi to attack, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of...

Now, Zhaolu Qunying is solving a problem. Since we want to fight, we must have money and food. Where does the money and food come from? Zhaolu Qunying's eyes are on the Han people in Siam. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, a large number of Han people have come to Siam. These people often have wealth and have been managed for dozens of generations, including many wealthy families and wealthy families. The emergence of these Han people has always been suspicious of the rulers of Siam in the past dynasties. The so-called "unity of our race" must have different hearts. The Han people understand this principle, and the Siam people do not understand it. Therefore, every now and then, many times, even if the soldiers directly loot, it happens from time to time. After Zhaolu Qunying ascended the throne, he was not polite to these Han people. Now, he is determined to take a bigger move.
