May is the rainy season. Not only is there much rain in the south, but there are often heavy rains in the north.

It rained most of the Yangtze River.

From time to time, lightning and thunder sounded.

Someone privately said that it was God’s anger and there was an unjust case on earth.

By May 30, Chongzhen and his men left Kaifeng City.

Instead of continuing to go south, he chose to return to Beijing.

This time, the bloody storm that broke out in Henan and Northern Zhili ended from time to time.

In this world, many things are either destruction or end.

Destruction is just the beginning of a more intense contradiction.

Killing so many people, all factions have complained in their hearts, and many people's interests have also been damaged. Conflict and tearing will only become more manic.

It is reflected in the court. Of course, Nanzhili must be not so peaceful. After all, the public land case in Henan now involves the power of Nanzhili.

Now it is June again. In the Ming Dynasty, June and July are special months.

Why do you say so?

Summer tax!

The summer tax in the north is about to begin.

When the wheat is ripe, the people have to pay taxes.

According to the past practice of the Ming Dynasty, every time tax is paid, it is a good time for officials to get rich.

This kind of thing is just mixed with the current Gongtian case and the Huangcai case in Beizhili.

Therefore, this summer tax will inevitably not be peaceful.

He has to go back to take charge of Beijing.

As soon as I left Henan Province, it was already raining heavily.

Chongzhen looked back at the road he saw, which was shrouded in a mist of blue mist.

He held the sword at his waist tightly and stared at the picturesque country, without saying a word for a long time.

According to orthodox history, there were twelve years left when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the mountains and rivers were broken, and China was in decline.

This great river and country will be ruined.

The gentry and officials are unscrupulously annexing the fertile land.

Everyone believes that if there is a country carrying it and a court carrying it, there will be no accident. Even if something happens, it will not be their turn.

But they didn't know that after the Jiashen Incident, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty began to encircle land unscrupulously in the pass.

The land they annexed was basically handed over.

From the perspective of the long history, Henan has killed so many people.

Is it too much?

not much!

This is just a drop in the bucket compared to the Qing Dynasty entering the pass.

This is just the beginning!

The administrative corruption in the Ming Dynasty had reached the point of ooze.

No matter how many kills you, there are not many.

Can this shake those greedy veterinary classes?

Of course not to shake it!

It can only make them feel a little bit of fear, and it is far from enough to really shake them.

This is a war, a life-and-death war.

If you die, the Ming Dynasty will be alive.

If you are alive, I will go and hang the crooked tree.

It's that simple.

"Let's go, go back to the capital."

Chongzhen turned around and disappeared into the mist and rain with everyone.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Chongzhen entered Shuntian Prefecture.

On the eighth day of the sixth month, he arrived in Beijing and returned to the Forbidden City.

At this time, the imperial court in the capital had experienced the Huangcai case in Beizhili and the Gongtian case in Henan Prefecture in just a few months, and became extremely sensitive.

The daily court discussions are all about quarrels and fight each other.

It is said that several officials have had their legs broken and are recuperating at home.

And the emperor's return undoubtedly made the sensitive situation more sensitive.

That night, a large number of officials ran to the gate of the Ming Gate and wanted to enter the palace to meet the saints, and argued about the pros and cons.

"The emperor, the six ministers and nine ministers, and all the officials of the New Government Office are looking for a visit outside the palace."

Chongzhen began to read the memorials, and he waved his hand: "Let them go back and discuss it tomorrow morning."

"yes."

As soon as Wang Chengen walked out, he heard the emperor's voice coming from the Ganqing Palace behind him: "Nonsense! A group of officials who do not know the sufferings of the people!"

Wang Chengen quickly signaled the eunuchs to go in, but saw that the emperor had thrown the memorial everywhere.

They quickly picked up the memorial and knelt on the side.

Seeing these memorials, Chongzhen was furious.

After throwing the memorial, I sat on the dragon chaise, took a deep breath, and my heart slowly calmed down.

Why did he get so angry?

Because these memorials are either impeaching the New Deals or attacking the New Deals.

The officials from the Six Ministry and Nine Ministers, Hanlin Academy, Imperial College, and even the Imperial Heavenly Prison were submitting memorials.

There were also provincial governors who participated in politics and reported their fingers, all pointing to the new policy.

This is the beginning of a large-scale confrontation.

Chongzhen calmed down and said, "Put all these memorials here, you all retreat."

"yes."

The emperor did not continue to lose his temper, and Wang Chengen outside also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chengen knew very well that the emperor was under great psychological pressure now.

The crisis caused by the new policy has now begun to break out on a large scale in the Beijing court, and even extends to various places.

However, the emperor was calm and calm, and his temper quickly calmed down after losing his temper.

Wang Chengen walked outside the Ming Gate. When a group of ministers saw that Wang Chengen had come out, they hurried over.

Cheng Jiming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "King Zhongguan, does Your Majesty want to see us?"

"Let's go back today. Your Majesty said that if you have any questions, I will discuss the morning meeting tomorrow."

Everyone looked at each other. Since the morning court was about to start tomorrow, they would not stay long and would disperse themselves.

In the Han Mansion, Cheng Jiming and Han Du sat there drinking tea.

Cheng Jiming said: "Mr. Han, you said that this time the situation is so big, more than 300 officials from the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces have submitted memorials. Can this new policy be implemented?"

"According to His Majesty's style of dealing with the past two years, the emperor will not compromise."

Cheng Jiming looked solemn: "Wouldn't you continue to kill people?"

"Have Gu Bingqian arrived in Beijing?"

"I asked this morning and the Gu family had just been taken to Beijing."

Han Du said: "The one who reacted the most intensely this time is probably some people in Nanzhili."

"Then what do we do now?"

Han Du said: "We do not oppose the new policy, but oppose the current implementation method. We must let His Majesty the Emperor know that the new policy is feasible, but the current handling method is too intense and it is not feasible."

Cheng Jiming thought for a while and said, "Does Lord Han have a good idea?"

"The problem this time is mainly due to the yellow book. A large number of hidden fertile fields were found in Beizhili." Han Du's tone was a little solemn, "If you really keep checking this, the whole world will be disturbed."

"We can recommend that the emperor temporarily stop re-editing the yellow book and deal with the transaction of public fields first."

"In addition, the issue of exemption from excellent students should also be emphasized. People with fame and honor are exempted from taxes or reduced taxes to soothe people's hearts. They cannot be said to be abolished. First stabilize people's hearts and then implement new agricultural tax policies, so the resistance will naturally be much smaller."

Cheng Jiming nodded repeatedly, thinking that Han Du’s words made sense.
