Li Zhigang had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, someone took the bait!

Zhu Yunyu also sneered in his heart. Infighting is really a fine tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

Since its founding, Huaixi Xungui Group, Northern Power Group, and Southern Qingliu Group have been in constant disputes.

On that day, the Confucian scholars from Zhejiang, led by Liu Bowen, were determined to overthrow the Huai people group led by Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, and the latter also regarded the scholars and officials in the south of the Yangtze River as enemies.

Fortunately, the old man and Zhu Yunqiu are both powerful monarchs who can suppress these people. If they were other emperors with a softer temperament, they might have to turn a blind eye and end up being pure.

The land of Zhongxia has been divided for hundreds of years, which cannot be compensated by decades. Moreover, during the hundreds of years of separation, scholars from the north claimed to be orthodox, while scholars from the south regarded scholars and officials from the north as pseudo-officials, and both sides did not like each other.

One mind, want to overwhelm the other.

"The state gives the right to exempt scholars from taxes is the kindness of raising scholars!" Long Wei said loudly again, "But I don't expect that so many borers have been raised today! It's sad, shameful!"

As he said that, he bowed, "Emperor, I ask the emperor to select capable officials to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu looked at Li Zhigang, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I guarantee it with my life and life, every truth is true!" Li Zhigang said, "Not only does this matter happen, but it has become an unwritten rule. The local government has no choice!" As he said, he shook his head and said, "Let's investigate, it hurts the face of scholars. Investigate, there is nowhere to start!"

"You go and investigate!" Zhu Yunxiu stood up, "Since the local area cannot be investigated, I will select people from the center!" As he said, he continued, "I will send an order to the Minister of Personnel and the Left Censor Li Zhigang is the Censor of the Six Northern Provinces, and he will hold the imperial envoy seal to thoroughly investigate the matter!"

"I will do my best to avoid humiliating the emperor's order!"

~~

"A good person is so upright!"

"This time I go to the north, I must pull out all the borers!"

"I will set off in a few days. I will prepare a farewell wine for you. I wish you success!"

As soon as the court dispersed, many officials from the Jiangnan family gathered around and said in a lingering manner.

In recent years, most of the senior officials are from the northerners, and because of the sea-based business cases in Zhejiang and smuggling cases, officials from Jiangnan have been hit hard and their power is not as good as before.

They dared not hate the emperor, and could only transfer their hatred to the ministers from the north in the court.

Li Zhigang was surrounded by a smug look on his face.

But he said modestly, "You are so serious. I am just sharing the worries for the emperor and loyalty for the Ming Dynasty!" As he said, he sighed, "We scholars, who have read the books of sages since childhood, are to cultivate the family, govern the country and pacify the world. Alas, they just don't like these people who seek personal gain!"

"Well said!" someone cheered, "Some people have poor knowledge, but these evil ways are very quick. It is really a shame for scholars!"

Not far away, Fang Xiaoru and others who had just walked out of the hall looked at each other.

"Bachelor, why don't you go?" said Huang Zicheng, the Hanlin attendant, on the side, "I used to think that Li Yixing had some power. Now it seems that this is not the case. He is still a responsible person!"

Fang Xiaoru shook his head and smiled slightly, "Let's just write books, don't get involved in these things!"

"How can this be mixed up?" Huang Zicheng frowned.

He wanted to say something else, but saw Fang Xiaoru sneeringly, "You don't have a land under your name?"

"Me?" Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, and whispered, "It's more than 800 acres!"

Fang Xiaoru smiled again, "I also have land for relatives under my name!" As he said that, he ignored the other party and left gracefully.

Huang Zicheng was slightly stunned and thought to himself, "Didn't the emperor want to investigate the matter of hanging fields in the north? It has something to do with the south? It's easy to investigate the north, but the south cannot be touched!"

Thinking of his eyes, he looked at Li Zhigang who was surrounded by people.

Just as he was watching, an eunuch trotted over, "Mr. Li, long live your way to you!"

~~

"Tell me, how do you take the first step when you go to Shandong?"

The windows on the second floor of Lezhizhai are all open, full of the through-the-room style.

Zhu Yunxiu changed into casual clothes and sat at the dining table, eating and talking.

Li Zhigang glanced at the dinner table, braised pork, vermicelli, cabbage hearts, and a bowl of stewed tofu.

The emperor was covering the braised pork soup and tofu on the rice without any image, stirring it with chopsticks.

Zhu Yunyu was really hungry and had not entered the water and rice in the morning after getting up for more than an hour.

In fact, Li Zhigang was hungry and his throat kept moving.

Zhu Yunxiu saw it from the beginning of the light and pretended not to see it.

If it were a minister next to him, he would speak directly and his beloved came over to have a meal with me. But Li Zhigang could not be so kind to him.

Seeing that the emperor did not mean to ask him to have a meal together, Li Zhigang said, "I will go to Shandong. The first step is to check according to the Tiancai of the 25th year of Hongwu. Anyone who has less land in the name of the landlord after the 25th year of Hongwu will be arrested and tried!"

Zhu Yunxiu paused his chopsticks, "You can check it out if you are so big in Shandong!"

"Only in Jinan!" Li Zhigang smiled, "And I only stayed in Shandong for one month, followed by Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi... Within half a year, I will investigate all northern provinces!"

Zhu Yunxiu put down his chopsticks, "Is that urgent?"

"In my opinion, the tax exemption for the gentry of the land is a guide, and the movements must be fought, but if you are always serious about this matter, it would be a bit of a big deal to get the small!" Li Zhigang smiled, "As long as the evidence is conclusive, then the investigation will be started in Jiangnan provinces!"

As he said that, he paused, "In Jiangnan, it is necessary to find out everything in detail and find it all!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at him and understood his intentions.

He smiled and said, "Do you want me to give you some helpers!"

Li Zhigang immediately said, "I am brave enough to have this intention!"

Zhu Yunxiu shouted outside, "He Guangyi!"

Li Zhigang was ecstatic, and He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, came in from outside and stood silently.

"You choose someone and follow Mr. Li!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Listen to him!"

"Yes!" He Guangyi replied.

Some words can be clicked, and Li Zhigang understood them.

The emperor gave him the title of imperial envoy, which was equivalent to giving him the power of life and death, and the Jinyiwei, which was equivalent to giving him the means.

He wants to be a cruel official, the more ruthless he is, the better.

"What about the south after the north?" Zhu Yunxiu asked again.

"The more ruthless I am in the north, the more injustice there will be in the court!" Li Zhigang smiled, "At that time, I will turn the gun directly. Those who are clamoring today will be like squeezing their own faces. Who will object at that time?"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu laughed, "They wanted to watch the fun, but they didn't want to get angry anymore, right?"

"Long live the holy light!"

"I understand, go! I won't see you off!"

"I will go back and prepare and I will set off tomorrow!" Li Zhigang finished speaking and retreated.

Zhu Yunxiu lowered his head to eat, and after a while, he put down his chopsticks.

At the same time, He Guangyi lowered his head and stepped forward.

"What he is in the north must be recorded one by one regardless of the size!"

"I understand!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and waved his hand, and He Guangyi also retreated silently.

The game has just begun.

At this time, the turtlema was whispering outside, "Emperor, Duke Cao is asking for a visit!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyebrows moved, "Cross!"

Soon, Li Jinglong quickly stepped in, "Long live the emperor, I'm very happy!"
