Wang Yi was so angry that he was furious by Wu Zheng, and said sternly: "There is no basis for nothing. I will never believe that anyone will give Wang Yilin such a ridiculous order, robbing soldiers and killing people's lives..."

"Why didn't there be? Didn't your Majesty also issue an oral order to order the imperial guards to chase me? It's really rare and strange. Why doesn't the Censor question Your Majesty's absurdity?"

"You..." Wang Yi really didn't expect Wu Zheng to be so powerful, "Okay, then Kuaiji King tells you, who will Wang Yilin be ordered?"

Everyone looked at Wu Zheng, and even Wang Yilin was confused. Did he be ordered to rob the county government office the eve before?

Wu Zheng's tone became calmer and calmer, "Wang Yilin is Yi Zhen's uncle. Except for Your Majesty and Your Highness, there is naturally only the only king who can order him."

As soon as these words were said, there was an uproar.

Wu Zheng was temporarily in charge of military affairs and did have the right to mobilize all troops in the Yixing court except the imperial guards.

But the question is, is it worth it to take such a mess for more than a hundred wounded soldiers?

Everyone in the hall knew in their hearts that Wu Zheng was taking the initiative to take the blame for Wang Yilin.

But I really can't find any loopholes.

Wang Yi was stunned for a while and said, "What the prince means is that Wang Yilin was ordered by the prince to rob soldiers and kill people's lives?"

"No." Wu Zheng flatly denied, "I only ordered Wang Yilin to rob soldiers and rob, and did not order to harm people's lives."

"That's it. In fact, three people have been killed and dozens of people have been injured... Besides, why did the prince issue this order? The prince temporarily takes charge of military affairs, why does it take the prince to do such a ridiculous thing?"

Wu Zheng dusted his sleeves, "I want to ask you all. The army of thousands of people said they would be dismissed. It would be fine if they were dismissed. I didn't give a grain of food. I wanted to recover Dasheng Pass and lacked enough troops in my hands, so I had to draw the remnants of the navy. I didn't expect that thousands of people had been hungry for nearly half a month... There is a Taoist emperor who is not enough to have hungry soldiers. It was late at night. I was helpless and ordered Wang Yilin to lead his troops to feed on the spot. Is it wrong? Besides, I will also take care of Wang Yilin, reveal his identity and leave a certificate... Wang Yilin, have you asked the soldiers to show their identity and leave a certificate?"

Wang Yilin Fu was in his heart and shouted: "If I hadn't stayed... If I hadn't stayed, I could see my face with the county government and several rice shops to prove me?"

Wu Zheng spread his hands and said to Wang Yi: "Did the censor hear it clearly? This is the facts!"

Wang Yi was indeed stunned. Can this be done like this?

"If the prince is doing this, I am afraid that people will be unable to calm down when he is about to do so? This matter is obviously contrary to the laws of the ancestors..."

“What is the ancestral law?”

"that is……."

"When Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, did there be a law of ancestors?" Wu Zheng looked around hundreds of opponents, "The law is mandated by people, and people always have negligence. Inappropriate laws are evil laws. Nowadays, strong enemies are surrounded by people, which is exactly when they inspire the people to fight the Northern Expedition. The reason why the warriors are warriors is that they have a sense of mission and pride. Do you want to interrogate the warriors, weaken and destroy their sense of mission and pride? A nation that does not treat warriors well will not have a future... Everyone, resisting the Qing army's southward and reviving the Ming Dynasty in the northern expedition is to rely on them to give up their lives and throw away their blood."

Wu Zheng's words made the entire hall quiet, only his voice was lingering.

"Other nations do not have heroes, and they want to create heroes. But we, even though there are heroes, we want to destroy them... Heroes are humans, not gods, but humans always have flaws. It is really unwise to pick on them!"

Wang Yilin looked at Wu Zheng excitedly, and for the first time, he felt that Wu Zheng was so pleasing to him.

The indignant Zheng Youde had already shrunk back with sweat at this time. He was not convinced, but was afraid because Wu Zheng ordered a thorough investigation of Ren's family.

Think about it, it’s true that the rich are rich, and the family is big and the business is big. How could the Qing army occupy Yingtian Prefecture? How could they have the courage to fight against the Qing Dynasty like the people?

Of course, I am just leaning against my knees to ensure the safety of my family. If I don’t talk to the Tartars, I will be considered a rich man with conscience.

Therefore, Wu Zheng didn't need to check it, and he also knew that the Ren family's butt must be unclear, which is actually a threat.

Simple, not rough, but very effective.

Seeing that the hall was silent, Wu Zheng thought that his words had convinced the ministers, so he looked at Zhu Dawei and bowed: "Please issue a decree to supervise the state, bury the fallen soldiers of the navy in a treacherous 10 miles north of Qingliang Mountain, erect a six-foot monument. The Ministry of Rites wrote the inscription to comfort the relatives and families of the soldiers. His Highness personally awarded the title of the martyr tomb of the Ming Dynasty for the respect of all people, so as to inspire the people to fight bravely to fight the enemy and recover the rivers and mountains!"

However, as soon as Wu Zheng finished speaking, the noise in the hall sounded immediately.

"absurd!"

"How can we keep our face when we give the rebels a good reputation?"

"That is, the court disbanded the defeated army, and in turn gave it a good reputation and went back on its word. In this way, the court will lose its face?"

"Your Majesty, don't act according to this!"

In addition to Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule and less than 30% of officials, nearly 70% of them opposed it.

Many of them have always been inclined toward Wu Zheng's side. It can be seen that the differences in concepts not only tear apart the people, but also the court.

"The navy rebels were in the forefront and the court did not pursue the matter. They were kind. If they wanted to be generous, how could they bear their feelings? How could ordinary men, untouchables, and slave soldiers be praised as the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty? In this way, how could our literati and officials bear their feelings? What kind of herders are there?"

The public opinion was raging. Qian Sule shook his head slightly to Wu Zheng, meaning not to bother with this matter anymore. When it is time to compromise, he still has to compromise.

Wu Zheng was angry.

If the main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that the Donglin Party led the entire Ming Dynasty's official atmosphere, it might be a bit of a mistake. It can be said that it has stained the entire study class in Jiangnan, and it is really not unfair to it.

Not to mention anything else, just the "three wages" levy before Chongzhen hangs him, it is said that the people have been harsh in taxes for a long time.

But in fact, the three taxes are not really heavy taxes. Although it is indeed very heavy for some provinces, overall, it is still within the framework of fifteen-fifth-year-old taxes. The Ming Dynasty taxes can be said to be the lightest dynasty in thousands of years.

The "three guarantors" are the three southeastern provinces and four prefectures and five northern provinces. The average household in Zhejiang is one tael and six cents, the average household in Fujian is four cents, the average household in Huguang is nine cents, the average household in Guangdong is five cents, and the average household in Guangxi is less than two cents.

But in Shaanxi and Henan, each household is three or one qian and three qian. Shanxi and Shandong are even more incredible, which are four or eight qian and five or three qian respectively.

Why?

Because there is a Donglin Party in Jiangnan known as the "monarchy of all rulers", the Donglin Party members have always been able to sell the country, but they can't pay taxes.
