"My Ruan Dacheng's ambition in this life is to be a lonely and loyal minister, not to form cliques, not to accept bribes, not to be greedy, and not to be speculative!"

Ruan Dacheng said and bowed to the north.

Dong Qichang looked at him reluctantly.

"Don't believe it!"

But Ruan Dacheng became even more angry and slapped Dong Qichang again, making Dong Qichang's face fatter and redder.

Then, Ruan Dacheng shook his hand and asked, "Do you think all officials in the world form cliques and personal gains like you?"

As he said that, Ruan Dacheng whispered to Dong Qichang: "You'd better be honest and listen to our arrangements and don't talk like this anymore. Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you. As long as I tell you, and then ask all the officials to hand in the seal to impeach you, saying that you are fighting against taxes and pursuing rebellion, it will be a disaster for the nine clans! So, you have to listen to my arrangements honestly next, do you understand?"

Dong Qichang also understood.

When he heard Ruan Dacheng mention something about the little master, Dong Qichang also realized that the situation in the court had to change, and if he wanted to survive, he could only be obedient.

Therefore, Dong Qichang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I understand! I dare not rebel, and I dare not slander Shangguan. Please forgive me!"

"Very good. Now you immediately write a letter of initiative to promote the reimbursement of the gentry of the world to publish it to me Chongwen Temple. In addition, you will write a confession of tax arrears, and write a memorial to submit it to the imperial court. It is also strictly enforced by the gentry of the world to ignore national laws and ask the court to punish these people severely. It is best to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. It is necessary to say it more ruthlessly. It is even required that the gentry of the world must pay full tax as the first family precepts and rules! This is the time to reflect your loyalty and awareness! Do you understand?"

Ruan Dacheng started talking.

"I understand! I understand!"

Dong Qichang answered conscientiously.

But Dong Qichang's heart was bleeding. He knew that Ruan Dacheng was forcing him to admit defeat to the emperor and the court on behalf of the gentry in Jiangnan.

"Write it now! Otherwise, even if Your Majesty does not kill your nine clans, we will advise Your Majesty to kill your nine clans!"

Ruan Dacheng threatened as he said.

Therefore, Dong Qichang had to go back to his study under the coercion of Ruan Dacheng and wrote a document about "paying taxes is glorious."

And at this time.

The treasury of the Dong Mansion has also been opened, and the grain and silver were copied out, and then it was checked and loaded away by people from the West Factory.

However, what Dong Qichang is most distressed now is not the food and silver he was recovered, but the proposal and confession he wrote now is undoubtedly equivalent to the entire Jiangnan gentry surrendering to the court, and it undoubtedly made him go from a famous person respected by the Shilin to a coward who was disgraced by the Shilin.

But this is why Zhu Youxiao sent Ruan Dacheng from Chongwen Temple to Jiangnan, and he wanted to force some gentry and great officials representing Jiangnan to compromise with the court.

An hour later, Ruan Dachengzhi was so satisfied that he left Dong Qichang's "mother treasure".

As a famous calligrapher in history, Dong Qichang turned his mouth after seeing Ruan Dacheng leave, his old eyes became turbid, and he looked to the north.

"His Majesty!"

Dong Qichang then knelt down, roared, and cried, "Even if there are any crimes, you can't send troops here! Your Majesty! It's really a disgrace to let those stingy soldiers in the border town collect taxes! Your Majesty! Why are you so mean and merciless? Are you really not afraid that you will be famous for all generations in a hundred years? Your Majesty!"

...

"Who cares about the affairs behind him? Let him be criticized? I don't care about the floods after his death. As long as he can have great power in his life!"

Zhu Youxiao said as he looked at a bunch of memorials that had been set up a Western factory for the imperial court to recover the tax and block the tax.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, nowadays, as long as any emperor cares about his reputation, he will be cheated by these civil servants.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao ignored these memorials on the grounds that he asked him to withdraw his name from the West Factory on the grounds of asking him to leave his name.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also took the list of tax-owed gentry in Nanzhili handed over by Wang Yingjiao to the Political Affairs Hall, threw it in front of Fang Congzhe, and ordered:

"The big households who fail to repay tax grains over the deadline will be punished by all the yamen runners involved in the affairs! All those who have fame and fortune will be eliminated! Those who have fame and fortune will be eliminated in addition to fame and fortune, and those who have fame will also be exiled and exiled to Yansui, Ningxia and other places for service! If someone is an official in his family, the officials will be demoted to remote places. As scholars, they are treated preferentially by the state, but have no sense of paying tax grains. It is really a waste of reading the books of sages!"

Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to exile these gentry who should be exiled a little further, but now he found that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was indeed too narrow to exil to places that were too far and too bitter and cold, such as Sakhalin Island, Siberia, or to spread Han culture in Southeast Asia.

Fang Congzhe was quite shocked after hearing this. He really didn't expect His Majesty to be so cruel. Not only did he want to eliminate the fame of a gentry, but he also wanted to exile those who were seriously tyrants.

"I obey the order!"

But Fang Congzhe did not advise, because the gentry who were dismissed from fame and fortune were all gentry in Jiangnan and the basic foundation of Donglin officials.

In the Shilin, although the officials in the Donglin are no longer in the court, the majority of the gentry in the Shilin are still.

Who made the gentry from Jiangnan the most popular among those who passed the imperial examination in previous years?

Therefore, Fang Congzheba, who is not the Donglin Party, must not eliminate the fame of some Jiangnan gentry.

As for the consequences, Fang Congzhe could also imagine that it was nothing more than the gentry in Jiangnan who was even more dissatisfied, wishing that the world would change its emperors immediately or change its dynasty directly, or even find an ambitious vassal king to rebel.

But Fang Congzhe believed that as long as he and his civil servants and military generals made good responses at any time, he would not have to worry that these gentry in Jiangnan would succeed in rebelling with a certain vassal king.

Because in Fang Congzhe's view, as long as the common people in the world can survive, as long as the hundreds of thousands of border troops in the north are not in chaos, the world will not be destroyed. After all, King Ning Zhu Chenhao did not rebel successfully that year.

What's more, now that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty insists on innovating and eliminating evil, Fang Chengzhe's view is necessary to be ruthless and decisive.

After all, reforming and eliminating evil is not about treating guests to dinner, but only by killing people can success. It is impossible not to kill a few censors or even kill some people to incite.

...

"My son of Taipu Temple, Shen Yongmao, begged His Majesty to open the Internet. The tax arrears of taxes have indeed violated the national law. The outage of grain transportation is actually a crime of the senile forest. I have ordered my family to accept the tax truthfully and dare not have any further arrears. I also ask Your Majesty to pity our gentry with decent sympathy, dismiss the Western Factory, and transfer the border troops back to the nine borders to avoid the instability of the border town. I promise not to owe taxes again!"

"I am the Minister of Tongzheng, Zuo Tongzheng, begging His Majesty to treat his men with kindness. The outage of grain grains this time was not deliberately delayed by our Nanzhili. But in fact, it was because of dissatisfaction with the treacherous and slandered in the court. The subordinates did not know the great justice, so they did this act that violated the national law. However, I asked Your Majesty to forgive his losses. I have already trusted my family and should not owe to tax and grain to misunderstand the national law. However, I asked Your Majesty to dismiss the Western Factory and do not bully our gentry with arrogant soldiers and generals!"

...

"Please dismiss the establishment of the Western Factory. Don't bully our gentry with arrogant soldiers and fierce generals!"

"Please dismiss the establishment of the Western Factory. Don't bully our gentry with arrogant soldiers and fierce generals!"

"Please dismiss the establishment of the Western Factory. Don't bully our gentry with arrogant soldiers and fierce generals!"

...

Outside Zuoshun Gate.

A group of civil servants in Nanzhili, led by Shen Yongmao, Xu Tingxi and others. After learning that the court had used tens of thousands of elite troops to form the Xichang and went south to force taxes, and the emperor ignored their remarks, they all knelt here and begged the emperor to cancel the establishment of the Xichang and not to send arrogant soldiers and generals to Nanzhili.
