Since the day of Zhen Guogong's accident, all trading products on the Shanghai Stock Exchange have dropped to the limit, and the limit has been extremely terrifying. This shows that although some people have sold in large quantities, there has been no takeover at all, and several war funds have fallen to the bottom.
, no one wanted a penny or ten units, and the securities market of Ming Dynasty completely collapsed.
After Huang Xiaotian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was demoted, the Ministry of Revenue was controlled by Wei Zhongxian's party. Officials in the court were divided into several types, one was greedy and talented, and Huang Xiaotian was this type, and the other was honest and honest.
Those who are talentless are like this for most censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Those who are honest and talented are rare animals. Putting aside for the moment, there is another type of official who is the most destructive: officials who are both corrupt and incompetent. Wei Zhongxian and his party are exactly like this.
, faced with the raging financial crisis, they had no way to deal with it. Under the heavy pressure from the emperor, they actually came up with an extremely cruel method, which was to seize Rishengchang and nationalize it.
Strong gold and silver reserves to save the securities market.
Even the emperor knew about the alliance between Rishengchang and the Zhenguo Government, but those were business dealings and not political entanglements. Hu Yimin himself did not have close contacts with Liu Ziguang. Most of them were just cooperation with Peng Jingrong.
Coupled with Rishengchang's important position in the Ming Dynasty's economy, even Zhu Youxiao did not dare to touch this huge financial institution easily.
But Wei Zhongxian dared. He had long been envious of Ri Shengchang's huge wealth. Eunuchs were physically handicapped and could not carry on the family line and enjoy the happiness of normal men, so they could only work hard on wealth and use countless gold and silver treasures.
To soothe my twisted mind.
In order to save the stock market and make a fortune for himself, Wei Zhongxian accepted the suggestion of his subordinates and sealed up Rishengchang in the capital on charges of collaborating with bandits. Then he sent Tiqi to Luzhou to arrest Hu Yimin. Little did he know that the bank in Rishengchang in the capital had been seized.
People rushed to transport it, and it was so empty that not even a bird feather was left. The Hu family's luxurious mansion in Luzhou was even more empty, and hundreds of members of the Hu family were missing.
Rishengchang was seized by the Secret Service of the Qin Dynasty, which caused a bigger turmoil. This time it actually harmed the interests of every common people. Rishengchang was actually equivalent to the central bank of the Ming Dynasty. The central bank was closed down. Then
The banknotes in hand are still useless paper? The banknotes issued by Rishengchang are more than hundreds of millions. Seriously, they are more than the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty in ten years. Hu Yimin ran away, and these debts naturally fell to the confiscation of Risheng.
The head of the Imperial Secret Service of Chang.
Originally, the Imperial Secret Service's reason was that Rishengchang had liaison with a traitor, so he wanted to seal it up, but the people didn't care about that. They thought that the imperial court took over Rishengchang and confiscated a large amount of banknotes, so it would be responsible for these bills. However, Wei Zhongxian even
I didn't get a cent of money. I really didn't steal a chicken and got into a lot of trouble.
The adults don't care how unlucky the ordinary people are, but it's not just ordinary people who hold Rishengchang banknotes in their hands, dignitaries, princes, nobles, and even Wei Zhongxian himself has more banknotes. In fact, ordinary people have no money left at home.
Money, even if you save a few banknotes, is only in small denominations of fifty taels, and the rich have tens of thousands of banknotes in their hands. They will suffer the most from the collapse of Rishengchang, and the interests of these people may be affected.
It would really harm the foundation of the imperial court, so Zhu Youxiao ordered Wei Zhongxian to maintain financial order. Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to take over Rishengchang's mess and fill it with money from the user department, and then he reluctantly stopped it.
A huge chaos.
After the news of Liu Ziguang's execution spread throughout the country, there were mixed reactions from various places. The commander of Shanxi Province, Zhao Zhangcheng, immediately placed the governor sent by the imperial court under house arrest. He recruited local soldiers and horses, and the whole army showed filial piety, vowing to seek an explanation for the commander. Gansu governor Zhu Zhu
The civil and military officials below Tao jointly submitted a letter calling for the punishment of traitors and Zhaoxue for the Zhenguang Gong. In Shandong, where Liu Ziguang had the deepest connections, a massive sacrificial activity broke out. However, the Shandong authorities headed by the governor Shi Kefa did not make any move. The two places in Shaanxi and Hebei
In the big provinces where the Red Shirt Army is stationed, there has been no major trouble for the time being because Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Zengshou are in charge. However, according to secret reports, the mood of the local Red Shirt Army is extremely unstable, and a rebellion may break out at any time.
Although provinces such as Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan had reservations about the imperial court's actions, they did not dare to question it publicly. Fujian and Taiwan's attitude was slightly more intense. The Fujian generals headed by Zheng Chenggong called the imperial court and demanded that Liu Ziguang's rebellion be announced.
Otherwise, we would retain the right to use force to seek an explanation. Only Shanghai Governor Ma Shiying, who was originally considered to be sworn in with Liu Ziguang, publicly sent a message to the whole country to support the emperor's wise decision to eradicate Liu Ziguang.
The emperor convened a small court meeting in front of the emperor to deal with this situation. The open rebellion of Gansu and Shanxi provinces is not terrible, because if they want to break into the capital, they must pass through Shaanxi, and Shaanxi is guarded by Yuan Chonghuan.
The province needed to be beaten, so the emperor sent several imperial teams to appease the place.
The political situation in the Ming Dynasty was turbulent, and neighboring countries received the news immediately. When they heard that Liu Ziguang was dead, the remaining Manchus held a banquet in excitement for several days. Da Yu'er was even more surprised. He called Hong Chengchou Mingzhu and other important ministers to a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures. They all agreed
I believe that the opportunity for the Qing Dynasty has come, and the Ming Dynasty's resurgence is just a flash in the pan. From now on, it will begin to decline. If it continues at this rate, by the time Kangxi is established, the Qing Dynasty will be able to regain its glory and drink from the Yellow River again.
In the past, the King of Goryeo, Li Zhu, was worried all day long about the rebels in the north. He couldn't eat or sleep. Now he heard that Liu Ziguang, the great supporter of the rebel Jin Caocheng, died. Not only did he sleep soundly at night, but he also had an appetite for food.
In the past two days, the royal kitchen was specially asked to prepare several pork belly feasts for the ministers. Everyone ambitiously began to plan for the recovery of their homeland, and everyone could not hide the excitement on their faces.
But Jin Caocheng in the high mountains in the north had a long, bitter face. After Liu Ziguang died, the support of the Korean camp was cut off. It didn't matter if they lost their supplies and ammunition. The key is that without the support of the Celestial Empire, they became wild dogs that lost their families.
, just wait to starve to death. His subordinates suggested that Jin Caocheng express his loyalty to the Ming emperor first, but Jin Caocheng thought about it again and again and refused.
The last one to get the news was King Galdan of Xixia. After his spies saw the red shirt army posted a notice in Hami that they were going to attack the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing, he realized that the biggest obstacle to his domination of the world was dead.
The ministers congratulated him, but Galdan just smiled faintly and said: "It is not the work of a great hero to rely on internal strife in other people's homes to win victory." He immediately announced that the whole country of Daxia would mourn for three days, and then raised his troops to march eastward, nominally.
He avenged Liu Ziguang, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and helped neighboring countries eradicate traitors.
After the Song Dynasty received the news, the whole country was shocked. The Privy Council issued an ultimatum to the Ming Dynasty, demanding that those who killed Liu Ziguang be held accountable and the deceased vindicated. Otherwise, diplomatic relations and all non-governmental trade between the two countries would be severed, and all previous political and military treaties would be cancelled.
Annulled, and retained the power to further pursue the Ming court for the unjust death of Liu Ziguang, the consort of the Song Dynasty and the protector of the country.
Zhu Youxiao was furious. Liu Ziguang was just a minister. Whether or not he should be killed was purely an internal matter of the Ming Dynasty. Other countries were meddling in it, especially the Song Dynasty, a small country with a small population and few people. How dared to threaten the Ming Dynasty? Although the two countries have been in close exchanges over the years.
The Ming Dynasty received a lot of benefits, but it was not that he could not survive without Lu Song. He immediately instructed the Lifanyuan to ignore Lu Song's protests. If he wanted to fight, then he would fight.
In the open space in front of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, the muddy water was mixed with bloodstains. A young man with fair features bent down and picked up a snow-white paper flower from the muddy water. It was strange that this little flower actually remained white and spotless in the sewage. The young man looked at it.
Looking at the Zhenguo Palace with its door tightly closed and covered with seals, I sighed and turned around to leave.
The young man was Cao Zhan, the grandson of Cao Yin, the wealthy Jiangnan weaver from Suzhou in the past. The Cao family fell into rapid decline after being raided by Liu Ziguang. Cao Zhan changed from the rich and well-fed young man in the past to a poor scholar who ate too much to eat.
Since he was a prisoner's son and could not take part in the scientific examination, he had to make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings. In order to commemorate that unforgettable memory, he wrote a novel, but halfway through he felt that it was not deep enough and could not find it.
Inspired to write, I wandered around the city today, hoping to find some inspiration. I happened to walk to the gate of the Zhenguo Palace that had been sealed up. I couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Compared to the ups and downs of the Cao family, Liu Ziguang's life was richer.
The legendary color also implies the unpredictable changes in the world.
Cao Zhan ran all the way home and wrote a piece of music:
The shabby house is empty, but in the past the bed was full of wats; the grass and poplars are withered, and it was once a singing and dancing venue. Spider silk is covered with carved beams, and green gauze is now stuck on the canopy windows.
How can you say that the fat is thick and the powder is fragrant, but the temples are frosted again? Yesterday, the loess sent bones to the sky, and the mandarin ducks were sleeping under the red silk tent at night——
The chest is full of gold, the chest is full of silver, and in a blink of an eye, everyone slanders beggars; I am sighing that others will not live long, but how do I know that I will return to mourn?!
If you train well, you will not be able to become a strong leader in the future. Whoever chooses a good job can hope to live in Fireworks Alley!
Because I thought the gauze hat was too small, I had to use the shackles. Yesterday I felt sorry for the broken coat, but now I think the purple python is too long...
It's ridiculous that you just finished singing and I came on stage, but you think that a foreign country is your hometown... It's ridiculous. In the end, you are just making wedding clothes for others!
After writing this song, Cao Zhan was so thoughtful that he started writing with great energy. In a matter of seconds, he wrote the outline of the second half of the novel and officially changed the name of the original "The Story of the Stone" to "A Dream of Red Mansions".
Just when Cao Zhan picked up the small white flower from the ground in front of the Zhenguo Palace, a northbound motorcade was passing by outside a street. This was the team of Sun Qichao, the imperial envoy who was going to comfort the place in Shandong. The imperial court was trying to use Lao Sun
The family's prestige offset Liu Ziguang's influence, so the young Sun Qichao was appointed to this position. An inconspicuous servant in the motorcade raised his eyes and looked at the balcony of the Zhenguo Palace not far away, and sighed secretly in his heart:
