Chapter 510
The emperor issued an order to order Xu Jin, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, to silence the land within the capital of the capital of the capital, to cause an uproar in the officialdom. Officials visited each other inquired about the news. Some came to visit Jing'anbo Mansion with gifts; some submitted a memorial to oppose Qing'an's land; some simply wrote a letter to impeach Xu Jin for various reasons.
Of course, some officials also applauded, such as Xia Yan, the military officer, successively submitted memorials to waving flags and cheering for Xu Jin, such as Hanlin editor Fei Maozhong, Shuji Shi Lu Yu, Jiang Rubi, Liao Daonan, Zhan Shifu Youzhongyun and Yang Weicong, etc., also submitted memorials to support Qingzhang's land.
It is understandable that Lu Yu and other new Hanlins support Qingzhang land. As for young people, who are not passionate, let alone that they have just entered the officialdom for a year and have not purchased land in the capital. However, it is a bit intriguing that Yang Weicong also submitted a memorial to support Qingzhang land. Yang Zhuangyuan can now be said to be the disciple of the chief assistant Yang Ge Lao. Does that mean that Yang Ge Lao also supports the land within the capital of Qingzhang?
Compared with the middle and lower-level officials, those high-ranking officials and nobles were much more calm. The land of Qingzhang involved too many interests. They did not believe that Xu Jin dared to act seriously. At most, they would take some shrimp and fry fish from the lower level to take action, and finally get some political achievements and submit their duties to the emperor.
Then, the high-ranking officials and nobles quickly became uneasy, because after receiving the imperial edict, Xu Jin immediately asked for the mobilization of the Five Hundred Battalions to prevent anyone from violently obstructing the work of cleaning. In addition, the Military War Bureau also asked the military bureau to forge a batch of standard iron measurement tools to prevent local grassroots officials from colluding and cheating during the measurement process. In addition, Xu Jin also left behind to thank the guests and refused everyone's visits and invitations.
Xu Jin's decisive attitude immediately made the officials even more uneasy, so there were more memorials to impeach him by writing a letter. Unfortunately, after handing it over, it was all over the sea. It was understandable that the little emperor protected Xu Jin, but the cabinet did not speak out, which would be a little bad.
On the eighth day of the September 19th, as soon as Xu Jin came home from court, he received a post from Duke of Wei Xu Pengju, asking him to visit the house tomorrow morning to enjoy the chrysanthemums and have a few drinks.
Xu Jin smiled indifferently. What should come is coming. The so-called chrysanthemums and drinks are probably a "Hongmen Banquet". He said to Dabao: "If you give some silver to give a post, it means that the day is Double Ninth Festival. I will accompany my inner men to Tanzhe Temple to climb high and burn incense. I will invite Duke Wei to Qionglin Tower for a drink another day."
As soon as these words came out, the three pairs of beautiful eyes in the hall immediately looked over, and their pretty faces all showed joy.
"Okay, I'll go back to that person!" Dabao took the post and retreated. There were endless officials and gentry visiting and posting these days, and all of them were rejected by the master without exception. However, even Duke Wei was rejected, which was beyond Dabao's expectations.
Xie Xiaowan said with a little concern: "My husband...why don't you go to Tantuo Temple tomorrow?"
Fei Ruyi said softly: "Husband, the important thing is important. Why don't you go to Tantao to burn incense again?"
"Yes, I have to meet you, husband, this is really something I can't avoid." Fei Jixiang gently kneaded Xu Jin's shoulders.
Recently, Xu Jin was impeached by many officials, so the three women were very worried. Now they rejected the invitation from Duke of Wei, and they were afraid that they would offend the most powerful nobles in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Jin patted Fei Jixiang's tenderness on his shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility, let alone that I have agreed to your affairs earlier, so how can my husband break his promise?"
The three girls couldn't help but feel sweet and stopped talking. After all, it was the affairs of the big men outside, so it was not advisable for women to interfere. The key is that they believe that with their husband's ability, they will be able to handle things well.
...
The Duke of Wei was in the mansion, and the Duke of Wei was in the warm pavilion. Duke of Wei Xu Pengju was entertaining guests. A total of: Duke of Ding Xu Guangzuo, Duke of British Zhang Lun, Duke of Shouling Zhang He, Duke of Jianchang Zhang Yanling, Zhu Fu, and Duke of Chengguo, Duke of the Prince Consort. The luxurious lineup is really shocking, because almost all the most prominent families of honor and family in the Ming Dynasty have come.
Among them, Zhu Fu, the oldest of Chengguo, is already 670 years old this year, with a beard all white and wrinkles on his face. Although he is still the position of left governor of the former military governor's office, he is no longer in charge of business.
"The emperor has only ascended the throne for a year, why did he suddenly want to clear the land? Do you think...!" Zhu Fu stroked his beard, and his old voice was a little dissatisfied, but it was Lao Jiang after all, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence.
It is said that the founding of the dynasty for more than 150 years. In addition to implementing a national land of Qingzhang during the Hongwu period, the Ming emperors of all dynasties have not cleared their land again. First, because the project was huge and took a long time, and second, because the interests involved were too wide and the resistance was huge, all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty wisely gave up doing so.
However, Emperor Jiajing had only ascended the throne for a year and succeeded to the throne as the prince of a vassal prince. He actually wanted to measure the land again. Do you think he had already settled down?
Shouling Hou Zhang Heling sneered: "It's still a question. It must be that the Prince of Jing'an Xu Jinzun Huo did this. This son is very powerful now, and the emperor obeys his will."
British Duke Zhang Lun said angrily: "Xu Jin is really good at making trouble. He proposed to clear the fields before, but his Duke no longer cares about him. Now he has made this young man again! It's so bad. If he dares to come to the appointment tomorrow, his Duke must give him some color."
Although Zhang Lun had a business with Culin Industry, Qingzhang's land had affected his fundamental interests, so he made up his mind that if Xu Jin dared not agree to let go of the water, he would turn against him.
Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling immediately reminded: "The servant next to Xu Jin is very good at fighting, so we'd better prepare more staff."
The cold light flashed in Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo's eyes and said sneered: "No matter how good his martial arts are, can he avoid sharp arrows? If Xu Jin dares to use martial arts, his Duke will not mind sending him a ride."
Except for Duke of Wei, everyone present sneered. In their identities, although they could not use the army without the Ministry of War's order, it was still easy to mobilize dozens of muskets. If Xu Jin did not know the matter at that time, what if Xu Jin killed him directly? As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, so why not give him a charge?
The Duke of Wei frowned secretly. He and Xu Jin were the best in the audience. He was a businessman in his bones and was more willing to make money with kindness. He didn't want to make a fuss to the point of killing people. Moreover, it was not a good idea to make a gang with the emperor, so he coughed lightly and said, "Don't be impulsive, everyone, Xu Ziqian is a smart person. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow. I believe he will make a wise choice."
Zhu Fu, Duke Cheng, nodded and said, "It is the best thing to be able to solve the problem with harmony."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old housekeeper of the Duke of Wei came in, his face was a little unnatural, and he reported: "Duke, Prince Jing'an said that it was Double Ninth Festival and he would accompany his family to Tanzhe Temple to climb high and burn incense. Another day, he would invite the Duke to Qionglin Tower for a drink!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, suddenly fell down, and Xu Jin actually refused his invitation.
British Duke Zhang Lun slapped the table and said angrily: "It's outrageous, I'm shameless."
The prince-in-law Cui Yuan sneered: "It seems that this kid really plans to go all the way to the dark."
Ding Guo Duke Xu Guangzuo said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Then I want to see if his Xu Ziqian's little arms and legs can withstand it."
A trace of lust flashed in the eyes of Zhang Yanling, a chuckling, "I know that this kid will not eat the toast or punish the wine. Hey, let's leave. I will leave in advance." After that, he stood up and left the Duke of Wei's mansion.
