The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Inside the capital, the storm is raging!

First, Ye Qi's son Ye Zhi was arrested and sent to prison. This incident instantly caused an uproar.

After all, Ye Qi died in the 14th year of Hongzhi, and it has been almost five years since his death. During his lifetime, he was an official at the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was a well-known official and had no stain. Now that his son Ye Zhi has been arrested, then It's very thought-provoking.

On the other hand, Ye Zhi himself does not have any political stains. Even if the Jin Yiwei investigates, they will not be able to find him!

Therefore, the entire capital was in turmoil, and countless spies were keeping an eye on the prison, wanting to see what the Jin Yiwei was going to do!

Under the dim light, many figures appeared in a secret room.

"Sir, why was Ye Zhi arrested? Is it because of Ye Qi's reform?"

A little old man with a goatee asked worriedly.

"Yes, sir, hasn't it been so long since Ye Qi's reform? Why are the Jin Yiwei still holding on to her?"

As a result, Shanxi merchants saw that the situation was over and there was no profit, so naturally they would no longer farm in Jiubianjun Town, and these indifferent Jiubian merchants no longer went there. Since then, they have been completely depressed, and they can't even eat enough. Drinking enough has become a big problem!

On the contrary, the Lianghuai salt merchants received unlimited benefits. Due to the convenience of being close to the land, they no longer had to travel far away. They suddenly almost monopolized the salt business, making a lot of money, and their mouths were full of oil.

"Besides, so many adults in the court have benefited from this, how can they just watch the little emperor change the law again?"

The leader's color suddenly changed after hearing this, and he even took a breath of cold air.

As soon as these words were spoken, a needle could be heard in the entire secret room, and the silence reached the extreme.

After a short silence, a slightly weak voice finally sounded.

"in addition……"

Xu Yuankai and Xu Yuanxiang are both descendants of Xu Pu, the former chief minister of the cabinet!

And this Xu Pu was precisely the important driving force behind Ye Qi's reform. Without the secret support of Xu Pu, the chief minister of the cabinet, how could Ye Qi suppress the Northern ministers and military generals above the court!

Therefore, after Ye Qi, there is Xu Pu!

"But now Jin Yiwei is acting like this, it's really disturbing!"

That's Xu Pu!

It wasn't until everyone left that the leader slumped down on the chair, and then coughed violently!

After a long silence, a murmur finally sounded.

"Why are you panicking?"

"How long has it been since then? Jin Yiwei suddenly arrested Ye Qi's son Ye Zhi and sent him to prison. He has not been released yet!"

One person asked cautiously, causing an uproar in an instant.

"This Nayin Kaizhong is already customized, how can it be changed so easily?"

"Immediately order the public prosecutor to write the impeachment memorial overnight!"

"Impeach Jin Yiwei for abusing lynching, and impeach Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao for being arrogant and domineering. Go and issue the order immediately!"

"Yes, sir, first it was Ye Zhi, and now it's Xu Yuankai. They are obviously here because of Ye Qi's reform!"

"Ye Qi implemented the reform in the fifth year of Hongzhi, and it has only been fourteen years now!"

Jin Yiwei, do you really dare to act against the disdain of the world?

"Sir, this is really troublesome!"

"Your Excellency, you don't know. This Ye Zhi is extremely ambitious!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

The weak voice became excited, even mixed with a trace of panic!

Everyone's expressions changed greatly after hearing this, but they did not dare to ask any more questions and immediately followed the instructions of the adults.

"What should we do now, sir? We must not allow the imperial court to resume paying taxes!"

He was thinking, what role did Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, play in this matter?

"Oh, interesting, really interesting!"

Because Shaanxi is connected to Jiubian, Shanxi merchants took advantage of the natural geographical advantages and directly farmed in Jiubianjun Town. After growing grain, they could be transported to Jiubianjun Town in exchange for salt.

Under this model, Shanxi merchants almost monopolized the salt listed in the Ministry of Household Affairs, while other salt merchants either cooperated with them or could only drink soup. The soldiers and civilians of Jiubian also benefited from this. At least the price was stable and they did not have to pay for it. Food, salt and other daily necessities are worrying.

"How have the soldiers and civilians of the Nine Borders lived in the past fourteen years? How have you, the Lianghuai officials and salt merchants, lived?"

Compared with the soldiers and civilians of Jiubian, their life is simply like that of gods, there is nothing to compare with.

Upon hearing this, the leader sneered.

"That's what I said!"

"Don't accept bribes, don't go to the banquet in person, just pretend to be like a saint, it's obvious that you have a bigger plan!"

Another voice sounded, full of fear and uneasiness.

"Jinyiwei arrested Xu Yuankai and Xu Yuanxiang overnight?"

After Ye Qi's reform, the natural geographical advantages of Shanxi merchants disappeared and were replaced by salt merchants who were originally located in the Lianghuai Salt Fields. They no longer needed to send food to Jiubian, and directly handed over the money to the officials of the salt fields in various places. Inside, you can exchange for the corresponding amount of salt.

"They must be here because of Ye Qi's reform!"

The leader sneered again and again, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

After Ye Qi's reform, the people who benefited were not just the Lianghuai salt merchants, but a profit transmission network, with a large number of officials in it, forming an interest group. Otherwise, the soldiers and civilians of the nine sides would have been complaining, and the court would I won't ignore this anymore.

"Liu Jian!"

So clean and self-sufficient, what other plans could there be?

It’s just that I want to take a step forward in my official career, become a minister or become a minister in the cabinet!

It’s just that there is no place for you, Ye Zhi, in this court now!

"I'm afraid there are a lot of hidden secrets in this matter!"

"First, the Jin Yiwei arrested Zhu Da, Zhou Hong, Du Cheng, and Tan Jingqing, the businessmen of the Zhang family brothers. Then Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, beat the Zhang family brothers violently at the entrance of the palace, and even directly killed the Zhang family brothers. My brother has been crippled, but he, Tang Hao, has not been punished at all!"

"Then Ye Zhi really didn't commit anything?"

Many voices suddenly sounded, all of them refuting Na Liang Kaizhong.

But how dare this Jin Yiwei dare?

There is no comparison between the two!

Before Ye Qi's reform, the imperial court implemented the policy of opening up grains to the central government. If salt merchants wanted to make profits by selling salt, they had to deliver grain to Jiubian Military Town. Therefore, at that time, the policy of opening up the central government would greatly benefit Shanxi merchants in the north.

"Isn't it that the imperial court wants to resume paying taxes again?"

The leader asked again, and everyone shook their heads.

The little emperor's eagle dog, or the little emperor's cruel staff?

Can a mere Zhongshan Marquis really shake the entire dynasty of Jin gentry?

"Keep an eye on the prison to see when Ye Zhi will come out. Once he is released, report it to me immediately!"

It is human nature to benefit oneself at the expense of others, there is nothing to say!

Everyone present, whether they were officials or salt merchants, had made huge profits because of Ye Qi's reforms!

Now you want to suddenly change it back and make them spit out the meat that they have eaten in their mouths. This is absolutely impossible!

"Don't panic!"

"What did you say?"

The weak voice sounded again, but it brought confidence!

"How long has it been?"

Throughout the Hongzhi Dynasty and even the current Zhengde Dynasty, they were all his disciples, and their connections were throughout the court!

The old housekeeper hurried in, then came forward and whispered a few words.

"Lord Gensuke!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"
