Chapter 712 The biggest gain
"Yan Ne, what purpose do you mean so crazy?"
"I want to take revenge." Yan Ne paused and said, "When Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian framed Wang Bengu, which ruined him and died in a foreign land. I want to avenge him."
"Is there any more?" Zhao Zhenji asked again.
"It's gone."
"Nonsense!" Zhao Zhenji raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "You Yan family is doing something wrong in the southeast, engaging in Japanese pirates, and smuggling explicitly prohibited goods to Japan, why?"
Yan Ne raised her eyebrows and suddenly laughed to the sky, laughing wildly.
"Mr. Zhao, and Master Zhu and Master Mao, you won't know, which one in the southeast today does not do smuggling business? Compared with those big families, this business of my Yan family is simply a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning!"
"Don't get stuck!" Mao Kai said in a deep voice: "Yan Ne, the Jinyiwei has searched your family and found smuggled ships, gunpowder, iron tools, weapons, etc., all of which are prohibited. Do you dare to say that they are not worth mentioning? Did you help get these things?"
"How is that?"
"Then do you dare to say that you are not connected to the Japanese?" Mao Kai asked sternly.
"Hahaha, Lord Mao, I only seek official positions for money, and my salary is so low. As a Grand Secretary, I only have 200 taels of silver a year, and I have to be deducted seven or eight. It is not enough to rent a house in the capital. I also have to support the servants, sedan chairmen, staff, chefs, and servants. I don't expect my family to support them. Is it okay? Because of the smuggling business, I just say that my official is in the smuggling business. In this way, how many people in the capital don't have smuggling? Starting from Xu Ge Lao, Tang Shunzhi, Li Chunfang, Yang Bo, and Tang Yi, who has clean butts? To be honest, the smuggling heads in the palace are also smuggling. Do you still have to say that Your Majesty is in the smuggling?"
Crazy, really crazy!
Yan Ne threw down the can and shouted loudly, as if he had opened up all the darkness in the officialdom.
Zhu Heng and Mao Kai were cold all over and sweating in their hands. They were famous for their reputation and never embezzled, but they also knew that Yan Ne’s words were not fake. The salary of the Ming Dynasty was notoriously low. Some families who were wealthy were relying on their families to help them, but more of them were trying to find ways to make money from all over the place and do business.
Even if the family is well-off and has not participated in smuggling, the family may not have it. The tariffs of the Southeast Maritime Mansion Department have stopped growing rapidly since the 41st year of Jiajing. However, the number of overseas merchants who came to the Ming Dynasty to trade has increased unabated. Moreover, more and more merchants have taken the initiative to go overseas, and the trade volume far exceeds the tariff growth. How many problems are there? Just think about it with your toes.
Zhu Heng secretly looked at Zhao Zhenji, and saw that the man with hair and beard were all stunning, and he was very stunning to ask the question to the end. He quickly slapped the table and took advantage of the book of the Ministry of Justice to interrogate him quickly.
"Yan Ne, as a Grand Secretary, you have been deeply favored by the emperor. You are so crazy that you dare to snatch the emperor. It is really shameless! What you say and do is recorded on the record, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain. You cannot be quizzed. If you come, take him down first and pronounce the verdict at a date!"
Zhao Zhenji glared at him and wanted to stop him. Mao Kai quickly raised the gavel.
There was a loud bang.
"Get out!"
The officers on both sides hurried Yan Ne down. Yan Ne was not convinced and cursed while walking.
"Why don't you dare to interrogate? If you have the ability to ask, they are all birds of a feather. You will only bully honest people. How clean are you than me?"
After retreating to the second hall, Zhao Zhenji was still panting for a while, and his goatee was shaking. He pointed at Zhu Heng and then at Mao Kai.
"Hmph, why don't you dare to interrogate? Is there something shameful about your family? Believe it or not, I will also impeach you?"
Zhao Zhenji's old man is so harsh, and it is not merciless at all.
"Oh, Brother Dazhou, it's not that we don't want to be tried, but what else can we ask? Setting up a private punishment hall, framed Zhongliang, and smuggled Japanese smuggling are already for sure. As for other matters, if Yan Ne had a handle, he would have taken it out long ago. He was just random talk. Not to mention you and me, even if His Majesty personally investigated, he would not find anything. If he continued to talk nonsense, it would only damage the reputation of the court and affect the big guys!"
"Yes, that's what I meant." Mao Kai said: "A Yan Ne, plus the four people of the Right Censor Wang Ting, Han Qiu, and Chen Liaofang, are enough to seek justice for President Yu."
Zhao Zhenji disagreed. If the case was closed like this, what was the difference between Yang Jisheng's investigation? What's more, there was a fake Xu Jie handwritten order. Who did this? If you can't figure it out, how can you explain it to the people of the world?
If he mentioned it again a few years later, wouldn’t he, Zhao Dazhou, become a confused official who convicted the confusing case?
"Brother Dazhou, now we have made it clear. The barrier is whether both sides are willing to stop. If someone still wants to continue talking about this case, even if the three of us find out, they will not be able to finish it. If they are willing to stop, the world will be peaceful, what do you think?"
Of course, Zhao Zhenji likes to discuss things with the truth and use the law to judge the law. Obviously, this case cannot be done, "I'm afraid the victim will not agree!"
Everyone knows that the case points to Tang Yi. Can Tang Yi pass the level of just taking Yan Ne? Zhao Zhenji is unsure. That young man is so powerful. He was able to deal with Master Yan a few years ago. Now he is even more full of wings. Will he give in?
"Yes, I believe that Lord Tang knows how to take the overall situation into consideration. Without this mind, he would not be able to inherit the status of the master of the Heart Study!"
Zhao Zhenji was stunned. Why, what is the main reason for Tang Yi?
"The situation in the southeast is changing with each passing day. Indeed, we old-school figures should abdicate and give it to the young people who are more capable!"
Nie Bao smiled with a smile, and there was a hint of shame in his smile, "Zhengzhi, you are the best young man in our lineage of heart learning. You have done your best to develop heart learning. We have discussed that the next leader of heart learning is yours. As for Huating? I will advise him to retreat as soon as possible. You must prepare and enter the cabinet in a few years. We all hope that you will lead the heart learning, support the Ming Dynasty, and revive the country. Even if we die, we will still be smiling."
As Xu Jie's master, in his studies, the Jiangyou faction that firmly supported Xu Jie's Jiangyou faction, after Nie Bao turned against him, the King's Sect in the Zhejiang Central, the Taizhou School, the King's Sect in the South, the King's Sect in the Min and Yue, and the King's Sect in the North all turned to Tang Yi.
This joint action also made Wang Xue rethink his position. They suddenly realized that they were stronger than they thought. The power to support Wang Xue was spreading all over the peddlers, the millions of scholars in the southeast, and the fertile soil for Wang Xue's growth.
With such conditions, Xinxue scholars have more and more demands and their propositions are becoming more and more radical. The original older generation of figures, such as Nie Bao, Wang Fu, Ji Ben, Wang Ji and others, relying on their prestige alone, is no longer enough to lead the Wang Sect.
As for the common ruler of the mind, Xu Jiejiu was an official in the capital, and was even farther from the southeast. Young students had no good views on him, so the only one who could inherit the royal sect was Tang Yi.
It can be said that this incident led to a consensus on metabolism within Wangxue.
Of course, because the old faction is unwilling to give up power easily, the new faction does not have enough prestige and qualifications.
Nie Bao proposed a compromise plan, which was to let Xu Jie take over the power step by step for a few years.
"No wonder the Lord agreed to let Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng go? It turns out that he is waiting here!" Shen Mingchen said with emotion.
He really admired Tang Yi's foresight. In fact, at the beginning, he used the Yu Dayou case to make a fuss, and Shen Mingchen was still wondering what Tang Yi was going to do to seek justice? Or kill Zhang Juzheng, or directly defeat Xu Jie and replace him?
But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.
He clearly had the advantage and was still playing the tragic card. He could continue to chase and kill, but he let it go. All kinds of actions were very unusual.
Now he completely understood that Tang Yi was just for outsiders to see.
Through this storm, the concept that Huating and Fenyi are birds of the same kind has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Xu Jie lost his most valuable moral appeal.
The study of the mind recognizes its own power. They can call on millions of people. Why should they continue to act as pawns for others? They just wave flags and shout? They want to go to the front and unveil the person they like.
Xinxue broke up with Xu Jie and turned completely to Tang Yi.
It is Tang Yi’s greatest gain. The previous tragic card, and the overall situation at this time, are all for this goal: the master of the mind!
From now on, Tang Yi completely left behind the traditional politicians. In addition to his position in the officialdom and academic status, he also had the status of a leader in the study of the mind.
Unlike Xu Jie who was praised by others, Tang Yi is a popular person. In fact, he has much more power. At least in the southeast alone, there are hundreds of thousands of scholars from Xinxue who sincerely support him.
Before, Tang Yi discussed the road to a good future with several strategists. What he needs to do is to package Tang Yi’s ideas exquisitely, spread them all over the world, and win more supporters.
Be an enlightener of thought and a living sage!
"It's good or not to be the master of the mind!" Wang Yin sighed: "There are so many scholars in the world who are watching. Adults must cherish their feathers more and not make mistakes. It's not easy to gain respect, but being despised is just a matter of time. Xu Huating's mistakes are not far away."
Mao Kun also said: "That's right, just take this time for the so-called overall situation. For the sake of the so-called overall situation, the adults must endure humiliation. If they continue to chase and kill, Xu Jie's original supporters will feel that the adults are too cruel and merciless. It will be difficult to unify the study of the mind. But letting Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng go, this pair of masters and apprentices are among the few people in the world. They will definitely try their best to take revenge on the adults and counterattack wildly, and are unwilling to lose the support of the study of the mind. They are afraid that the transfer of power will not be easy."
Both strategists showed strong concerns, and Tang Yi smiled, "Two gentlemen, you have been worried too much."
"Oh? What's the trick of my lord?"
"I dare not say a clever plan, but I think Xu Huating and Zhang Jiangling are not people who give in easily. They will fight back. As for me, I have prepared a trap and are waiting for them to jump in!"
