    The news of Luzon's rebellion quickly spread back to the capital.

    Emperor Wanli felt a little lucky when he was angry - he just took this opportunity to divert domestic conflicts, especially the conflicts between him and his ministers.

    Ever since the mine supervisor and tax envoy ravaged the world, he has been under the endless verbal criticism of the ministers.  Emperor Wanli had great internal skills and ignored it, but his ministers were shameless. Seeing tigers and wolves in the street and the people suffering, they, the court officials who were the parents of the people, were helpless, and there was nothing they could do to help, so they went to the hospital one after another to ask for help.

    In fact, this trend of resignation has already appeared since the ninth year of Wanli.  Since the disappearance of Shen Ge, Emperor Wanli wanted to be a dictator. Naturally, he had a fierce conflict with the civil official group. Although the emperor had an innate advantage, he was helpless.

    Wanli's pride and stubbornness made him not know what a "compromise" was. Even if the civil servants defeated him, they would never be able to make him obey.  So after the hot war, the two sides entered the cold war period. Emperor Wanli did not follow the court, did not get close to the temples in the suburbs, did not approve the chapters, and did not make up for the lack of officials What's more wicked, he seized the opportunity to dismiss the ministers.

    There was once a servant who was severely criticized by Wanli because of a typo in the memorial Not approving the memorial doesn't mean he didn't read it.  If you don't look at it or criticize it, the minister can approve it on your behalf, which is not too bad.  If you don't approve it, it's like standing in a latrine and not taking a shit. It's really disgusting Wanli raised the typo to the level of negligence in work attitude and extremely contempt for the emperor. Naturally, the poor servant had to resign.  The ministers wrote letters one after another to persuade him to stay, but Wanli didn't even have a symbolic condolence, so he went ahead and rushed home

    What Wanli thought at the time was that it was hard to find three-legged toads, but there were plenty of people with two legs, so he drove those annoying guys away and replaced them with the one he liked.  But how will the civil servants let him succeed?  Don't forget that officials of the fourth rank and below are selected by the Ministry of Officials, and officials of the third rank and above are selected by the court. The ministers just don't choose the candidates that the emperor likes, and the emperor does not like the candidates they recommend.

    It¡¯s not that Wanli has never thought of using Zhongzhi to appoint officials directly, bypassing the outer court From a legal point of view, this is feasible, but this is the thing that Shilin despises the most. Anyone who dares to accept Zhongzhi¡¯s appointment,  Friends immediately cut off contact with him, people threw rotten eggs when he went out, and when he went to work in the government office, he would be squeezed out by colleagues and superiors.  In a word, you will realize what it means to be a target of public criticism, and what means life is worse than death.

    Therefore, as soon as Wanli blew the wind, those "lucky" officials were terrified, and wrote letters to thank them for their unresponsiveness. In a hurry, they hung up their crowns and left, not giving the emperor a chance to encourage the seedlings to grow.

    However, the candidates recommended by the ministers should not be expected to take office immediately, because no matter whether they are selected by the government or recommended by the court, they only have the right to recommend, not to make decisions. In the end, the emperor must issue an imperial edict to complete the appointment.

    So I can't use my people, and you don't want to use yours, and the two sides are at odds like this.  In the ninth year of Wanli, the two capitals lacked three ministers, ten servants, ninety-four officials, three governors, sixty-six officials, supervisors, and twenty-five magistrates.  Three years later, the North and South Daliaoqiang Office was half empty, and the governors and governors had been empty for many years. The shortage of vassal officials was reduced to fifty or sixty, and the shortage of magistrates was reduced to forty or fifty.

    During the recent period, due to the powerlessness of the mine supervisor and tax envoy, the remaining ministers have basically stopped working Among the cabinet ministers in charge of the general affairs of the country, only Shen Shixing and Wang Jiaping are left in the cabinet.  Among the Jiuqing, only Du Yushi and two ministers served in the court. The rest were either due to vacancies, or Du's door was not out, and the government was already paralyzed.

    Only then did Emperor Wanli panic. After all, the inner court eunuch he relied on was good at catching people and making money, but he was blind when it came to governing the country.  His ancestor still had to rely on civil servants to take care of him, so he already regretted it a bit, but he was desperate for face and refused to compromise, and the Luzon rebellion incident just gave him a chance to go downhill At least Wanli himself thought so.

    Because even if compared in the long river of history, the ministers of this dynasty are all stinky and tough. When it comes to territory and sovereignty, there is nothing to say.

    But the emperor made a miscalculation. After the news spread, those "stinky and hard" ministers were very rare to understand Luzon, and they all blamed Emperor Wanli for his excessive extortion and greed.

    Wanli ordered the court meeting to suppress the rebellion, and all the ministers who could be present came this time.  However, the result of the discussion made Wanli extremely dissatisfied The ministers agreed that they should not rush into battle.  They said that Luzon was separated from the mainland by vast oceans, and was protected by a powerful fleet, so it should not be attacked rashly.  It is necessary to build warships, organize and train naval forces, store supplies, and make plans before moving.  Moreover, the current domestic wolfhounds are in power, and the people's grievances are boiling. If there is a big war, it may lead to a civil uprising.Our goal is to ask the imperial court to recall the mine supervisors and tax envoys from all over the world, re-establish reasonable tax rules, and promise not to hold anyone involved in the incident accountable.

    The rules for this collective action have also been agreed upon.  The students led the people of Changsha to swear to advocate righteousness: "Don't loot anything, don't take money, don't be inferior to innocent people, don't disturb the market!"  '

    ?In order to maintain order and protect the people, the students selected 2,000 highly disciplined workers from the rioting people, formed a citizen guard, and then went to Bingma Division.  Most of the officers and soldiers of Bingma Division are followers of He Xinyin. When the defenders saw the citizen guards led by Yuelu Academy, they did not show any fear or fear.  close.

    After a routine bargaining, the guards brought ladders and climbed in from the courtyard wall. The soldiers still did not stop them, but pushed aside with their mouths, as if to remind them to go to the back, and they rushed into the ammunition.  Library went.

    The guards emptied the guns in the armory, patrolled the city, and stepped up shooting training to guard against the army that might come at any time.

    Most of the people went home for the time being, but the teachers and students of Yuelu Academy did not return to the academy. They knew very well in their hearts that although they formed a guard team, they really couldn't wait for the imperial court to attack them.  For rebellious ministers and thieves!  Even if he is pardoned in the end, there is no guarantee that he will not be settled by Qiu Hou, and a solution must be found.

    Once the teachers and students were together, the governor still had to pick the head, and let him make a statement to the court, so that the nature of the matter would not escalate to rebellion.

    So several leaders came to inspect the yamen again.  In order to show their sincerity, they did not bring their subordinates, but also handed over their famous badges, and met them according to the etiquette.

    This time, Shen always politely invited them to meet in the living room. He first expressed his condolences to the victims, and then appreciated that they did not hurt innocent people during the riot, and at the same time expressed his dissatisfaction with their impulsive behavior.  He didn't agree to be the leader of the uprising, but he promised to help them go to Datian and try his best to make peace In short, it's a gentle wind and a drizzle, and he doesn't hold back his hands. It makes people angry, but there is no hope.

    "My lord governor said this, as if you are not the consul of Changsha City." A rebel leader named Chen Xing finally couldn't stand his tactful demeanor, and sneered: "Is it true that maintaining the peace of one side of the territory  Isn¡¯t it your duty to keep the people from being harassed? You just ignore eunuchs, rape and murder the common people, isn¡¯t it a vegetarian meal? We are doing our duty for you, but you have nothing to do with yourself  Attitude, is this really the attitude that a party should have? I heard that you are the son of old Shen Ge, don't you feel ashamed for his old man?"

    Shen Yiguan was blushed for a while by the words, and finally stopped pushing and telling them, let him think about it overnight, and there will be an answer the next morning, and the students retreated.

    Personally sent the students away, Shen Yiguan turned back, and saw that there was one more person in the living room, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Now you have succeeded"¡ª¡ª
