Chapter 19: Criticizing the Court for Not Beheading

"Are you all in your family? Then leave!"

The carriage and horses were in charge of the business, so they asked each car one by one and confirmed that everyone was there, and they called the carriage in front to set off.

"drive!"

The driver of the big cart where Liangchen was located threw off the whip and the carriage slowly drove forward.

After the convoy set off, there were carriages and horses in front and behind, and there were carriages behind the post station, but I didn’t know if Zhang Bing was in it.

Liangchen was a little worried because it was still dark and the road could not be seen clearly. If the carriage ran fast, it would be easy to hit something by accident. If the carriage overturned, it would be a serious crime.

However, the coachman was familiar with the old hand-held style and sat in the car very easily. He sometimes shouted twice, sometimes picked up the dry tobacco and took a "click" and took a sip.

Seeing this, the good minister laughed at himself, and he was really worried.

The coachman eats this bowl of rice, so how could he not have the awareness of "traffic safety"? Besides, he is not driving drunk. Besides, no matter how fast the carriage is, how fast can it go? If something happens, he, a young man, can jump out of the carriage.

The team heading north was afraid that there were more than twenty cars, and the people in the car smelled the fresh air in the morning and began to talk about last night.

The people in Wei Liangchen's car were also speculating on this matter. They didn't dare to do so before because they didn't know if the fans left the village. Now they are sure that everyone has left, so they are naturally brave.

The fat man asked the coachman about the situation, but the coachman was like them and knew nothing. He only said that the entire village was sealed by the people from Dongchang last night, and there were no less than a hundred people searching door to door, and even the inn was not spared.

The only female passenger in the car, the woman who brought her daughter to Beijing to find her husband, said astonished: "Is this a thief from the Yangtze River?"

An old man next to him was knowledgeable and shook his head and said, "Catching the thief of the Yangtze River is the government's business, and the people from the East Factory will ignore it."

"Isn't the East Factory the government the government?"

The woman looked confused. Last night, those characters were wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers and the waist-baring cards of the government. If they were not officers and soldiers, who else would be officers and soldiers?

The old man was too lazy to explain to the woman, and she probably didn't understand even after she said it.

"It's not that the thief is out, what are you looking for?" Zhang Cha, who lost money, said, because he didn't have breakfast, his stomach was a little empty.

"Who knows, I can't find our heads anyway." The old man smiled mysteriously and said to everyone: "Do you know, who in this world is most afraid of aphrodisiacs?"

"who?"

Zhang Cha looked curious, and the others were attracted by the old man's questions, even Xu Xianchun was like this, but Wei Liangchen looked calm.

"Only."

The old man said, "Maybe some official had committed another crime and offended the emperor, but he was in a position to protect the people in the court, so the emperor bypassed them and asked for someone to arrest him, otherwise he could make such a big noise?"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and agreed. They decided that the matter was as if the old man said, "The men were arresting people for the emperor, otherwise it would be impossible for none of the local government officials to come forward."

Everyone had this idea, but it was not surprising to Wei Liangchen at all. In fact, the emperor of the dynasty has been very inconsistent with the ministers of the court for more than 30 years since the dynasty ascended the throne, and it has been a big fuss.

I heard that the emperor was almost angry to death by the people from the outside court for the sake of Li Xiaoye a few years ago. Now he stays in the palace all day long and doesn't even attend the court meeting.

If anything happens, the emperor will not be able to move the court, and he will send the factory guards to do it. Otherwise, he will be heartbroken and will have another big argument with the outside court.

Being an emperor has achieved this, and today's emperor is the first to be a part of the past.

These things are not rare, nor are they secrets. Everyone knows them.

As for how these ordinary people knew what happened in the capital, of course it was spread behind the scenes. Wei Liangchen knew exactly what these people were.

He felt a little regretful for Wanli. If you don’t arrest the propaganda position, others will occupy it. When others control public opinion, what if you are the emperor? If you say you are black, you will be black even if you die and buried in the imperial tomb!

"The emperor is really. The elders are all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, so why can't they listen? Fortunately, I finally established myself. The country is stable, and the country is stable, and the world will not be in chaos." The old man sighed.

After hearing this, Liangchen looked around at everyone and found that no one showed any nervous expression on his face, but instead looked like he was used to it. It seemed that these people had discussed the government affairs a lot in the past.

In the past twenty years, the entire Ming Dynasty has been proud of scolding Emperor Wanli. Whether it is the court or the people, if you don’t scold the emperor, you don’t know how to live this day.

It is Wei Liangchen's father Wei Jinde. He scolded him at home when he was fine. He said that the emperor could not be biased. The eldest son would not be the second son. Even the people's family could not do this. A bowl of water would be fair. You can't hide in the palace all day long just because the ministers did not meet your opinions. What kind of emperor is this? The ancestors don't want the country's affairs, and they don't care about the major affairs?

The old man's words made everyone in the car feel deeply the same, and they were talking about the emperor one by one. Even Xu Xianchun, a backbone of the eunuch party, couldn't help but say a few words.

This scene reminded Liangchen of a picture he saw in his previous life.

In the picture, the father-in-law of the East Factory looked at you with a smile: "Criticizing the imperial court, but he wants to behead him."

The fat man who didn't say much suddenly said, "Everyone, I seem to hear that the fans are looking for people from Linqing."

Um?

Liangchen glanced at the fat man, but unexpectedly he eavesdropped too.

In other words, Linqing is a good place.

Since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing, the capital's money and grain supply was completely relied on the canal. By the Wanli period, the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou was the busiest waterway in the Ming Dynasty. Linqing, located in the center of the canal, also became one of the most prosperous cities in the Ming Dynasty, and was known as "the rich county of Jiaqi, and the prosperity of the two capitals."

The taxes for customs clearance are also among the top among the seven major tax customs clearances. The other six are Hushu, Beixin, Yangzhou, Huai'an and Hexiwu, all of which are tax customs on the canal, and only one is Jiujiang in Nanzhili.

Wei Liangchen knew about the prosperity of Linqing, and he also knew the book "Jin Ping Mei" which did not know who the author was. The background of the story was Linqing.

The fat man's words made the people in the car speculate again, but in the end they didn't say anything.

The convoy fell into a village in central Qing County at noon and continued to set off after a short rest.

In the afternoon, the weather was not good, and suddenly the storm changed drastically and it started to rain soon.

This made Liangchen and his friends who were on the third-class car, were all soaked like chickens.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no way to go.

The people in the carriage discussed and drove the carriage to a mountain temple not far from the official road.

As soon as Liangchen ran into the mountain temple, he saw Zhang Bing and the young man running over with the crowd.
