In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the national policy of "changing rice to mulberry," Yan Shifan bypassed Hu Zongxian and directly ordered the Zhejiang envoys and envoys to "break the embankment and destroy the fields" in order to force the people of Zhejiang to sell their land at a low price and change the rice fields to mulberry fields. However, how could Zheng Bichang and others take matters into their own hands on such a task of calamity to the country and the people? They found Ma Ningyuan, the "prefect of Hangzhou," and two zhi counties under his jurisdiction to "act on their behalf."
When the weir broke the embankment and the people of as many as nine counties were affected, Li Xuan, who was then the "river supervisor", naturally panicked and rushed to Yang Jinshui's mansion for help:
"Daddy, nine counties, nine counties have cracked the weirs. Someone must be trying to break his mouth, this is to hurt the son, to harm the father you. ”
If the leader is to save himself from fire and water, he must be pulled into the water; even if he cannot pull down the water, it must be emphasized that this calamity will affect the possibility of the leader. Yang Jinshui, who was then the "chief manager of the Weaving Bureau" and the "general manager of the Municipal Shipping Department", had nothing to do with the river supervision, but he and Li Xuan had a father-son relationship. Li Xuan, precisely by looking at this point, emphasized this point.
However, Yang Jinshui, who was already involved in it and personally directed this conspiracy, was naturally unmoved and responded unhurriedly:
Who destroyed the? Who's going to hurt you? ”
For Yang Jinshui's response, Li Xuan was suspicious in his heart, but he was not sure whether Yang Jinshui was involved. So he continued to vent his doubts:
"The whole levee, the nine weirs, were built under the supervision of my son last year, and they are impenetrable, absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible."
The so-called "abnormal things must have demons", it is impossible to break the weir of the embankment, and at the same time break, this is not to show that it is man-made!
Let's look at Yang Jinshui's reaction:
"Where in the world is there a river embankment like golden soup, and where is there a weir like golden soup?"
Well, with this sentence, Li Xuan could be sure that Yang Jinshui not only knew about the breach of the dike, but also had a direct relationship with the breach of the dike.
For Yang Jinshui, if the silk supply at the end of the year cannot be supplied, the palace will be accountable; in order to complete the task of silk supply, it is necessary to quickly implement the national policy of "changing rice to mulberry", and the possibility of participating in or even leading the "breaking the embankment and destroying the field" has emerged.
The breach of the river embankment is beneficial to Yang Jinshui, but it is harmful to Li Xuan, the "river supervisor", and the head on the item is almost a matter of minutes. So, Li Xuan began to protect himself.
However, from Li Xuan's stunned and stunned expression, Yang Jinshui had also gained insight into Li Xuan's thoughts and began to appease and co-opt him.
As a result, the women who almost ran through the entire "Ming Dynasty", Yunniang, appeared!
"Yunniang! Then I changed my clothes for him. ”
Li Xuan's coveting of Yunniang, Yang Jinshui knew it; Yang Jinshui was even more clear in Yunniang's clothes at this time; at this time, let a thinly dressed woman appear in front of the eunuch who had been coveting her for a long time, and what Yang Jinshui wanted to do was clear at a glance.
Let's look at Li Xuan's reaction--in front of Yang Jinshui, staring at Yunniang intently; moreover, after Yang Jinshui gave a dissatisfied look and even took the initiative to block Li Xuan's line of sight, Li Xuan still stared at Yunniang blatantly.
In front of Yang Jinshui, why did Li Xuan dare to be so arrogant and did not want to live, or could not control himself when he saw Yunniang?
More importantly, at this time, whether Li Xuan could keep his own head was not certain, how could his heart be so big, and his heart was thinking of something else?
No, this is Li Xuan's extremely clever self-preservation technique.
The reason why Li Xuan dared to be so brazen was to tell Yang Jinshui: I basically understand the inside story of the "weir breaking the dike", so I have no fear, you look at how to save me, how to save yourself.
Then, Li Xuan added another threat:
"Nine counties, if they are all flooded, son's head..."
As many as nine counties of the people are affected, really want to leak the sky, I will die, your head may not be able to save.
This threat, Yang Jinshui obviously heard, had to give a specific "rescue" method:
"Can't kill you!" Get up and change your clothes, just stay at the weaving bureau, and don't go anywhere. ”
Stay in the Weaving Bureau, shut your mouth, and you'll be able to save your life!
Yang Jinshui asked Li Xuan to "stay in the Weaving Bureau, don't go anywhere", what is he going to do?
Is he thinking about saving Li Xuan's life, or is he thinking about throwing Li Xuan out of the black cauldron when the East Window incident occurred?
Li Xuan was unsure, so he had to give further threats:
"Daddy, you know all about this?"
Don't pretend, I know in my heart, if you don't give me a safe way to save my life, I will never listen to you.
This threat was too obvious, Yang Jinshui could no longer be soft and reassured, after threatening a sentence of "what do you know", Li Xuan quickly replied:
"I don't know, I know something."
What I know depends on how you treat me and how you save me. If you save me, I don't know anything, or the dam breach is caused by natural disasters; if you don't save me, I will know everything.
For Li Xuan's "know" or "don't know", Yang Jinshui gave an explanation:
"I don't know if it's your blessing, but I can tell you that there are some things that don't weigh four or two on the scale, but they can't beat a thousand pounds on the scale."
There are some things that you still don't know, and the things behind this are not something you and I can control and master.
It's just that the light threat is useless, Li Xuan's head will be lost, he will die anyway, will he care about your threat? Therefore, Yang Jinshui must continue to appease:
"We are the people in the palace, just take care of the things that the old ancestors commanded, and the things of the local yamen have broken the sky and let the people of the local yamen kick themselves and go to the nest with their own children." From today onwards, you don't have to go to the River Gate, drowning dead people, you are all here. ”
Well, give the specific rescue method, you should be relieved!
However, for this result, Li Xuan was still not satisfied, and the "river supervision" would not let me do it, nor could he just kick me aside. Therefore, Li Xuan added another condition:
"Daddy, let's move a position for my son."
Let's take a look at the answer given by Yang Jinshui:
"I have already reported to the old ancestor, wait for the old ancestor's reply."
In the next five thousand years of Chinese history, this perfunctory method has never changed. Give you a positive answer, and then throw the uncertainty to the superior leader, do everything but equal to nothing, say everything but equal to say nothing.
Poor Li Xuan, who was clever in his own way, actually believed Yang Jinshui's promise and immediately wanted to change clothes on the spot, but he was drunk by Yang Jinshui's words:
"Is this where you change your clothes?"
Now, the situation is completely in the hands of Yang Jinshui, and he must regain the authority and position that he almost lost just now.
However, after Li Xuanlian said "son damn" and "thank you daddy", Yang Jinshui also gave such a sentence:
"Don't you thank Yunniang?"
Li Xuan had just been put down his careful thoughts, and was provoked by Yang Jinshui's words, what was Yang Jinshui trying to do?
Human life is at stake, who will believe whom? Li Xuan's coveting of Yunniang is the temptation of Yang Jinshui to stabilize Li Xuan and let Li Xuan come out at the right time to carry the black cauldron.
Why can Yang Jinshui persist to the end in such a passive and complicated situation? This kind of forward-looking, predictive and predictive ability to take one step and look at three steps can never be ignored.
