"Daming Dynasty 1566" has firmly occupied the first place in the Douban score at present, and it is also one of Yang Jiaofeng's favorite TV series.
There is a suspense case in the play, until the end of the whole play justice has not been exercised, but it is not resolved, we will talk about the ins and outs of the whole case today, and the lives behind the event.
First, destroy the embankment and flood the fields
Forty years after Jiajing, the Jiajing Emperor organized a financial conference in Jingshe, and due to the emptiness of the national treasury and the Zhou Yunyi incident a few years ago, Qingliu and Yan Dang were severely pinched. But in the end, at the behest of the Jiajing Emperor, the two sides reached an agreement that rice should be changed to mulberry in Zhejiang to increase tax revenue and enrich the national treasury.
At this point, the prelude to the whole drama was opened, and the foreshadowing of the controversy was also buried.
In fact, Zhejiang is not very suitable as a test site, because it is seven mountains, one water and two fields, and the people naturally refuse to change rice to mulberry, and the reason will not be discussed. Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, was bent on promoting national policies, and even did not hesitate to send in troops to suppress the uncooperative people, so there was a conflict between Qi Jiguang and them.
After reviewing the situation, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, felt that the country's policy was too hasty and inconvenient to implement in a short period of time, but his request to the imperial court to postpone the change of rice to mulberry was rejected. So he decided to adopt the tactic of delay, on the one hand, the national policy continued to be implemented, and on the other hand, it was necessary to take into account the life and death of the people.
Because the Jiajing Emperor was unclear and kicked the ball to the cabinet, Yan Shifan issued an order to destroy the embankment and flood the fields. This order bypassed Hu Zongxian and reached Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, who were bent on making meritorious contributions, and Yang Jinshui of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
Their strategy is actually very simple, since the people are not willing to sell the land, they will force you to sell the land and flood your land. After the flooding, the fields are not valuable, and the people have to sell their fields to buy grain if they want to eat.
These Daming officials were really mad, and only thought of being responsible for the above, but none of them pitied the common people. At once, the cracks of the nine counties along the Xin'an River were dug up, and the water suddenly flooded over, but these Daming officials gathered together to celebrate.
At this point, the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the field has caused irreparable losses, and the following is the appearance of the sentient beings after this incident.
Second, the appearance of all beings at the scene of disaster relief
Since ancient times, who is the most lovely person, but also the most helpless person, is not a soldier. They simply obey military orders and do not know what strategy is hidden behind their actions. This time, the perpetrators of the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the fields were the soldiers of the Qi Jiguang military camp, and the disaster reliefrs were the soldiers of the Qi Jiguang military camp.
At this time, Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, who were on the front line, knew in their hearts that in order to minimize losses, they could only give up one or two counties and keep other counties.
But what about the Chun'an people on the levee who are watching?
If we want not to lose the hearts and minds of the people and give them an account, we must show them that the officers and men have done their best. And the way to do your best is to kill a few people, which is almost easy for the officials of the Ming Dynasty:
"Have you remembered the names of these brothers?"
I know that jumping down is death, but I still have to jump down, all that can be left is a few names, but I can touch the people around me, willingly watching my fields being flooded, whimpering and mourning.
At the scene of the disaster relief, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, sighed:
"Millions of people, the sins of a thousand autumns!"
Tan Lun sighed:
"Such a hurtful and harmful reason, through the history books, never before!"
People at the scene:
"There are our parents, wives and children over there, and if we want to jump, we should jump!"
Qi Jiguang ordered:
"One, two, jump!"
Hu Zongxian concluded:
"I, Hu Zongxian, am ashamed of my father and fellow countrymen!"
In this way, in the face of the great catastrophe caused by people, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, ordered that the gap between Chun'an and Jiande be thoroughly dug up, so that the flood rushed to the innocent people of Chun'an and Jiande, thus preserving the other five counties.
Third, the Ming Dynasty Zhejiang official field sentient beings
First of all, the executor, Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, only wants this matter to be undead, and he can't let Lord Bu Tang get off the stage:
"There are many things in the world that are inherent, and we must not do it."
Li Xuan, a river supervisor eunuch, ran to Yang Jinshui overnight, knelt down for help, and directly named someone who wanted to harm himself and wanted to harm his father, but Yang Jinshui's reply was:
"Where in the world is there a river embankment like a golden soup, and where is there a weir like a golden soup?"
At the end, he also enlightened Li Xuan and let him rest well, no big deal:
"There are some things that don't go on the scale without four or two weights, but you can't beat it for a thousand pounds on the scale!"
While other officials in the know were putting on a celebration banquet, Yang Jinshui was after all a member of the imperial court, and he would have to throw the pot in the future, so naturally he would not participate. And Zheng Bichang, the envoy of Zhejiang Province, the largest official present, smiled and threw the "credit" to Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou:
"Lord Ma, today you are the first hero, and you sit on the top."
Ma Ningyuan had already realized that he was about to carry the pot, became the first scapegoat of the whole thing, and threw down the next sentence before leaving:
"What a hero, the world's first sinner!"
And the two counties of Jiande and Chun'an, Chang Boxi and Zhang Zhiliang, who were flooded, died on the verge of death, and they stupidly asked Zheng Bichang:
"Shall we go?"
4. The End of the Zhejiang Officials of the Ming Dynasty
The problem was kicked to Hu Zongxian in this way, and everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was directed by Yan Shifan, the elder of Xiaoge, but one by one they were silent and did not dare to involve it.
When things got bigger, Zheng Bichang and He Maocai also had to give Hu Zongxian an explanation, and what they thought of was to report a natural disaster, and it was because of the sudden rainstorm in the sky that they decided to make a decision. But Hu Zongxian immediately dismissed it, and there are also rivers in neighboring provinces, which have just been repaired, and only cost us half of the money, how can they be safe and sound?
"This panic, you have to pull the circle!"
Zheng Bichang and He Maocai also wanted to imply that Hu Zongxian's move was instructed by The Elder Yan Shifan of Xiaoge, but they could not say it explicitly, so as not to leave a handle. Seeing that Hu Zongxian did not buy it, they moved out of the emperor again, and the matter was so big that Hu Zongxian had to rush to the men and open a knife. In the end, this disaster can only be attributed to man-made disasters, and the cause of man-made disasters has become cutting corners when repairing river embankments, causing a catastrophe, cough, really sorry for those river workers...
It was not easy for Ma Ningyuan to become an official, and he really wanted to do things for the imperial court, but he forgot his original intention and forgot the people, but he only wanted to be loyal, and naturally he would go to the blame for Hu Zongxian.
The other two idiots know the county, Chang Boxi and Zhang Zhiliang, their own foothold Jiande and Chun'an County are gone, and they still want to get out and retreat, dream, kill!
Then there is Li Xuan, after all, he is the river supervisor, and every expense of repairing the river is from him. If Yang Jinshui wanted not to be involved, he must also pull him out to pad his back, so he sacrificed Li Xuan's life at the cost of Yunniang's accompaniment for one night.
In this way, hu Zongxian killed these four people as the master of destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, and did not even report to the imperial court, playing the game of first cutting and playing later.
As for the final outcome of Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, that is already the end of the follow-up Hai Rui's struggle, this time, the two of them are safe and sound.
5. The appearance of officials in daming capital
The first person who was unhappy was Yan Shifan, angry that Hu Zongxian did not report the natural disaster according to the plan, but reported that the river embankment was in disrepair. He said that he could lift up Hu Zongxian, but he could also trample him to death, and he would also launch Yushi to impeach him.
Yan Song:
"What happened to the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the field?"
Yan Shifan:
"Changing rice to Sang Guoce can't move... If you don't flood the field, you can change it, and if you drown the field, you will change it, and that's it! ”
When the Jiajing Emperor learned the news, he quickly summoned Hu Zongxian, Yang Jinshui, and Tan Lun, that is, on behalf of the Yan Dang, Gong Gong, and Qing Liu factions, to Beijing.
Lü Fang comforted Yang Jinshui, you are also for the good of the palace, and it is rare that there is no concealment, this is loyalty:
"One or two counties, the emperor has Kyushu Wanfang in his heart!"
Jiajing Emperor:
"Lü Fang, this Yang Jinshui you used is still effective, don't reward him with anything in the clear, secretly reward him with something!"
Inside the Yu King's mansion, Zhang Juzheng said to yu wang:
"Anyway, it is the meat of the common people... Wang Ye, long pain is not as good as short pain, this time simply let Zhejiang chaos..."
Elder Xu Ge and Gao Gong also had the same view, tan lun sighed:
"The people of Zhejiang have suffered!"
Instead, Princess Yu came out and said a fair word:
"Who watches his people suffer and the Father stands idly by?"
Guilty, Yu Wang ate watermelon, listened to Tan Lun's advice, and decided to send Hai Rui and Wang Yong to take it away. The purpose was only to argue, not to let the people of those two counties think that the imperial court had not done anything, and the two people sent, in the final analysis, were the fig leaf of King Yu, for the dead ghosts, because they themselves knew:
"When you go at this time, you must have a plan to lay down your life there!"
6. Write at the end:
Destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, such a vicious means of cutting off children and grandchildren, can be used by people, no, they are not worthy of being called people! Even though the evidence is conclusive, everyone knows about the crime, but from top to bottom, no one comes to uphold justice, and there are even some Daming officials who use it to discuss merit and reward.
The emperor, the strict party, the Qingliu, the magistrate... All that came to mind was that little interest, and in order to seize the land in the hands of the people, he did not hesitate to dig up the river and force the people to a dead end.
Even Hu Zongxian, the only one who was still decent, completely destroyed jiande and Chun'an counties without the consent of the people of these two counties. For onlookers, he will give him a thumbs up, but for the people of the two counties who are crying for help in the flood, it is a nightmare.
It is said that one side has the support of eight parties, and Jiangsu, which is close at hand, has sufficient grain, that is, it is not willing to borrow grain, that is, it is to watch, Zhao Zhenji even said such a sentence:
"Heaven and earth are not kind, all things are dogs, saints are not kind, people are dogs, the dead ten thousand people are a number, and the dead hundred thousand people, a million people are also a number!"
In the end, it was still a qing school with a little conscience, and sent Hai Rui to clean up the mess, just a small county order. If there is no one to want people, no power to have power, no resources to have resources, it is clear that he is going to die, let him eliminate the little guilt of Qingliu himself.
In this harsh environment, Hai Rui relied on his own wisdom to show the truth step by step in front of the emperor. Maybe it was guilt, maybe it was disdain, maybe it was dissatisfaction, when Hai Rui's confession came to the jiajing emperor's case, he chose to burn it.
And the truth of the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the field will no longer be known to the world, and when the people of Chun'an thank the sea and the sky, they will inevitably add a sentence of emperor shengming. Because Hai Rui represented the imperial court, not only him, but also more Ming Dynasty officials.
In fact, the people of the Ming Dynasty were easily satisfied...
