Chapter 429: Profit Is What People Desire

San San Niangzi was taking refuge in the Great Ming. This kind of reconciliation faction, after the war started, was a running dog of the Great Ming in the grassland, and in the Great Ming, they were deceiving the Imperial hearing with submission. Neither side was pleased, so San San Niangzi simply chose to completely submit to the Great Ming.

But as soon as she entered the Great Ming, Wang Wang Chonggu, the treacherous official who had always been known for it, actually took out a "Memorial on Equalizing Fields and Corvee." Wang Wang Chonggu, he was really too brave!

"Can you let me see this memorial?" San San Niangzi was curious about what was written in this memorial that caused a huge uproar in the court.

"Miscellaneous reports and court gazettes are flying everywhere, all containing the contents of this memorial. I'll have someone get you a few copies." Wang Qian did not intend to hide it, nor could it be hidden. The popularity of this memorial by Wang Wang Chonggu even surpassed that of the Great Ming's expedition against Anda Khan, because the editors of the miscellaneous reports were attacking Wang Wang Chonggu's memorial word for word.

Altan Khan? Just an old man. Wang Wang Chonggu was the biggest traitor to the Great Ming's country and society!

San San Niangzi looked at the court gazette and miscellaneous reports while looking at Wang Qian, her eyes carrying disbelief. As a representative of the reconciliation faction, San San Niangzi's connection with the Jin Party was extremely close. Since Ma Fang blocked Altan Khan from invading the capital again in the 35th year of Emperor Jiajing, the war between the Great Ming and Altan Khan had gradually evolved into "raising bandits to respect oneself" in the Xuan-Da direction.

San San Niangzi, Altan Khan, and the ten-thousand-household commanders under Altan Khan were all bandits raised by the Jin Party, bandits used to threaten the court. But as long as the court wanted to deal with the Jin Party, the Jin Party would relax border defense, letting the court loosen the cage a little. It wasn't until Zhang Zhang Siwei was exterminated that the court still couldn't eradicate the deeply rooted Jin Party, leaving behind this person, Wang Wang Chonggu.

Now, Wang Wang Chonggu had become a loyal minister? This was really the sun rising from the west.

All the things Wang Wang Chonggu did before could actually be summarized as making money. The official factory group construction that settled the hooligans was Wang Wang Chonggu's political capital. The dividend of the woolen factory only dropped to a fixed 10,000 silver last year, and the dividend from opening the seas became the bulk.

Wang Wang Chonggu was a treacherous official before, and it wasn't that the court officials scolded him wrong, because in the process of fulfilling his promises, Wang Wang Chonggu really made a fortune. Saying he was a treacherous official who gathered wealth was not wronging him.

San San Niangzi was a smart person and soon understood the changes in the Jin Party under Wang Wang Chonggu's leadership. The reason why Wang Wang Chonggu became a person who broke away from low-level interests was because he had too many low-level interests.

As a First-Rank Lady conferred by the Great Ming court, San San Niangzi knew the political situation of the Great Ming very well. She could hollow out Altan and establish Hohhot, partly because of the all-out support of the grassland reconciliation faction, but the biggest reason was the Great Ming court's conferment.

This memorial of Wang Wang Chonggu was 1,400 words in total, a magnificent article similar to the "Memorial on Settling Hooligans," analyzing the Great Ming's current dilemma from phenomena, problems, causes, to methods. It was not fooling ghosts, but a sharp knife that killed cows and snakes. The reason why San San Niangzi was surprised was that Wang Wang Chonggu's Wang family, wasn't it also a member of the cows and snakes? This knife could kill cows and snakes, but it could also kill Wang Wang Chonggu's whole family.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng was very hesitant about the Single Whip Law, which was the Single Whip Law of unified silver collection nationwide, rather than the Single Whip Law of collecting silver in some places and grain in others.

At this time, the Senior Grand Secretary was very hesitant, because he knew that the development of various places in the Great Ming was not balanced. If silver was collected directly, the total amount of silver in the Great Ming still could not support the stable operation of the Single Whip Law, and it would become a harmful policy that harmed the people. However, if the Single Whip Law was not implemented, the chaotic tax system would also be a sickle cutting towards the people.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng could never make up his mind to implement the Single Whip Law nationwide.

In the original history, Zhang Zhang Juzheng implemented the Single Whip Law comprehensively in the ninth year of Emperor Wanli, because at that time, Zhang Zhang Juzheng didn't have much time left. He was very anxious. The turmoil in December of the eighth year of Emperor Wanli made Zhang Zhang Juzheng realize the Emperor's disgust for him, so he implemented the decree very anxiously.

Now Zhang Zhang Juzheng was not anxious; he planned to take it slow.

At this critical moment, Wang Wang Chonggu took out the "Memorial on Equalizing Fields and Corvee."

This memorial had to start with Tang Long, the Minister of War in the 11th year of Emperor Jiajing. Tang Long was a Ming Jinshi in the third year of During Zhengde. He served as the Magistrate of Tancheng County. In the seventh year of Emperor Jiajing, he was promoted to Right Vice Censor-in-Chief, Governor of Canal Transport and concurrently Governor of Fengyang Prefectures. In the 11th year of Emperor Jiajing, he was promoted to Minister of War. Tang Long was one of the important figures in the Emperor Jiajing New Deal and financial tax reform.

And Tang Long had felt many problems in the Jiangxi region back then, and had tried the "Equalizing Fields and Corvee Law" in the Jiangxi region for a period of time.

As the Daoist master moved into the Western Garden and ignored court affairs, all the achievements of the New Deal in the early Emperor Jiajing years were liquidated. That "Equalizing Fields and Corvee" became a flash in the pan.

Wang Wang Chonggu found the wisdom of his predecessors from the old cases of the Emperor Jiajing years and felt it was useful, so he remonstrated. And then it was the flattery of the wheels.

Zhu Zhu Yijun felt it was flattery, but the Grand Secretaries didn't think so. Zhang Zhang Juzheng, Wang Wang Guoguang, and others also wrote this on the floating slip.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng didn't think there was anything excessive about the evaluation of "Great Sage" in this sentence.

The Emperor's actions since ascending the throne were obvious to all. Was there anything false in Wang Wang Chonggu's words? The memorials were not left overnight, he danced with chickens and didn't avoid cold and heat to practice martial arts, he never broke the rule of resting one day out of twenty-four days a month, he supported clearing land and returning land and vigorously opened the seas, he was extremely good to his younger brother, Zhu Zhu Yiliu had a share of the world's beauties and auspicious models, and there was Imperial Uncle Zhu Zhu Zaiyu in the court. The madmen spoke without restraint, but the Emperor never blamed them.

It was this paragraph that was attacked by the writers of the Great Ming's major miscellaneous reports, saying that Wang Wang Chonggu, this treacherous official, was indeed a treacherous official! The Emperor was only nineteen, and he had already begun to use evil words to bewitch the Emperor!

Scholars scolding people was really very ugly, so much so that Wang Qian, who had always labeled himself as a treacherous official's family, felt injustice for his father.

It was not that the scholars scolded Wang Wang Chonggu wrong, because Wang Wang Chonggu's status was transcendent. Such a memorial really explained the matter clearly, clearly to the point of making people afraid.

Wang Wang Chonggu said in the memorial: In today's Great Ming world, the prominent families who eat and drink in luxury are annexing the world. Every time the court makes a register, they will bribe to reduce the land registered in the Fish-Scale Register. This is called "flying scattering," and even under the Great Ming of the Performance Evaluation Law, it is still the case.

Besides reducing land registration, the biggest problem is hidden population, which Wang Wang Chonggu called "living scattering."

It was precisely this passage that was attacked by the editors of the major miscellaneous reports of the Great Ming, who said that this treacherous official Wang Wang Chonggu was indeed a treacherous official! His Majesty is only nineteen, and he has already begun to use demonic words to bewitch His Majesty!

But some commoner families, clearly on the verge of destruction, are registered as a neat family, which is "empty shadow"; some people who are so desperate that they can't even reclaim wasteland have several hectares of fertile land at home, which is "floating end."

The biggest problem with this method of hiding population is that it causes the court to be unable to collect annual taxes, and the Southern Yamen runners can only force the small people to compensate for the arrears of the big families.

The small people can't afford to compensate, so they can only flee. Then the county Southern Yamen can only let the Li-Zheng (village head) fill this hole. The Li-Zheng can't afford to compensate, so they can only flee. Finally, it falls on the Grain Chief. Every time someone is assigned to be a Grain Chief, the family even wails like a funeral, relatives cry to each other, and they would rather go to the army than be a Grain Chief.

This is still the Grain Chief. Then what about the small people? I'm afraid they don't even have the chance to cry at the funeral.

So Wang Wang Chonggu said: "Also like hearing the people's grievances, the wailing sounds are continuous, shocked and uneasy."

What is even more terrifying is: The Great Ming's taxes include land tax and corvee, which is the poll tax. The reason why big families want to hide population is to save the poll tax. But the court wants to collect the poll tax, so it can only be harsh on the small people.

"Profit is what people desire."

This is the problem, and it is also the second place where Wang Wang Chonggu was scolded. You clearly said that the Great Ming is thriving and prosperous under the Emperor's leadership, so why did you turn the pen and say that the Great Ming has a big disease? This is not thriving and prosperous, but clearly about to perish. You, Wang Wang Chonggu, are rendering the dangers of hidden population like this, isn't it just to scare the Emperor and seize power?

Wang Wang Chonggu, you treacherous official!

Zhu Zhu Yijun attached great importance to the problem of hidden population. Wang Wang Chonggu said that the country is thriving and prosperous in the front, and that the country has signs of perishing in the back. It seems to be holding both ends, but this is a dialectical method based on the "Contradiction Theory." The Emperor has done a lot, which is obvious to all, but there are still some crises under the water, which must also be seen.

Zhu Zhu Yijun didn't think Wang Wang Chonggu was a traditional treacherous official. Wang Wang Chonggu knew very well the power of this memorial. The so-called "really uneasy" was that if the Emperor felt that he had done a good job and was too lazy to continue to reform, this memorial of his would be a life-taking knife.

Wang Wang Chonggu explained his motivation for submitting the memorial, the phenomenon of hidden population, various means of hiding population, and the crises caused, and further discussed it.

The harm of hidden population also includes the destruction of grassroots organizations. The destruction of the Li-Zheng and Grain Chief system has caused the basic fact that the Great Ming Imperial power does not go to the countryside.

Besides the destruction of the system, there is also the worry about population growth. Since the Yongle years, the Great Ming's population has not increased. The Great Ming has had constant disasters for two hundred years, but there is no crisis of national destruction. How can it be the same as the beginning, with a population of one hundred million, and it has been stable for so many years? It is the problem caused by hidden population.

Productivity is the ability of people to change nature. People are the main body. If there are fewer people, how can they produce? How can they expand? The Great Ming is like a dragon trapped in a ditch, unable to move.

Giving birth = corvee = poll tax = breaking the door and destroying the household. Who is still willing to give birth?

The Senior Grand Secretary said: "The world is trapped by annexation." Wang Wang Chonggu said: "The world is trapped by exploitation."

Annexation shaped classes, and exploitation made classes as stable as Mount Tai.

Wang Wang Chonggu also cited the lesson of Rome's destruction. Romans were unwilling to give birth and even fled to the barbarians to avoid taxes, eventually causing the Roman population to become smaller and smaller, and finally destroyed by the barbarians. No matter how the Roman Emperor encouraged childbirth, he could not obtain the basic population base, and finally perished.

Gao Qiuyu, Li Li Yashi, and others translated many books from the West. Wang Wang Chonggu also liked to read these overseas stories. Rome was the orthodox of the West, but Rome perished and never returned like lightning.

After clarifying and understanding the harm of hidden population, Wang Wang Chonggu recounted his efforts. As Minister of War, he tried to change this situation.

The Grand Secretary says: The world is troubled by annexation; Wang Wang Chonggu says: The world is troubled by exploitation.

Wang Wang Chonggu tried to add the crime of hiding land and grain to the "Great Ming Code" that was being compiled, and executed it. But if the law is strict, it becomes a harm; if the law is not strict, it is easy to violate. Wang Wang Chonggu adjusted this intensity continuously over several years, but still didn't achieve the merit of reform, which made Wang Wang Chonggu anxious and uneasy.

Before passing the imperial examination, Wang Wang Chonggu was a traveling merchant. He traveled north and south, went to the grassland, and went to Jiangnan. Although the soil and water were different, the same problems existed.

"Correcting, human's lack of correctness, is politics." But in this matter, the law had no good way.

Wang Wang Chonggu got inspiration from Tang Long's "Equalizing Fields and Corvee Law," a flash of inspiration. Why should the number of strong men be linked to the poll tax?

After a thorough census, the poll tax is directly spread over the land, and then the poll tax on the land will no longer be increased. While encouraging childbirth, all kinds of land taxes, labor corvee, and so on will be merged into the land tax, reducing miscellaneous taxes and various names.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng's Single Whip Law could also be implemented. If you want the Single Whip Law to be effectively implemented, simplifying tax items is the foundation. If the poll tax is not spread over the land, I am afraid that the Single Whip Law will be nothing but a mirror and a moon. No matter how well-designed the system is, it cannot be implemented.

Regarding this, the Great Ming weightlifting champion Zhang Zhang Juzheng commented: "Second Grand Secretary Wang is right."

When Zhang Zhang Juzheng discussed the Single Whip Law with the Emperor before, he said: "Silver and labor corvee and household registration and salt notes are merged into the land, only then can it be done."

This is the place where Zhang Zhang Juzheng was most hesitant about the Single Whip Law. Wang Wang Chonggu merged silver, labor corvee, household registration, etc., into the land through the method of equalizing fields and corvee.

"Your father is still suitable to be a treacherous official. This 'Memorial on Equalizing Fields and Corvee' of his has no benefits at all. Tang Long, who reformed the government, died before he could walk out of the capital." San San Niangzi said her true thoughts to Wang Qian.

Tang Long, San San Niangzi knew, because this person once governed the military affairs of the three borders and was a formidable enemy of the Northern Barbarians. When Tang Long governed the three borders, the regional commanders Wang Xiao and Liang Zhen led troops to repel the invading tribes and even went deep into the Hetao to capture several strongholds. This Minister of War, Tang Long, was one of the representative figures of the New Deal in the early Emperor Jiajing years. With the Daoist master hiding in the Western Garden, the New Deal lost its greatest support, and Tang Long was also dismissed as a commoner. Before the carriage could walk out of the capital, he died in a traveler's inn.

Wang Wang Chonggu doing this thing had no benefit. The things he did before were all beneficial to himself and the Jin Party, and could share a lot of profits, which was also the reason why the Jin Party supported Wang Wang Chonggu. A little bit leaked from his fingers was enough for the Jin merchants to eat until they were full.

For example, the recent fine-spun wool, the Jin Party knew first that San San Niangzi brought wool into the pass. If Wang Wang Chonggu operated it, the Jin merchants would wave their sickles and eat a full meal. Wang Wang Chonggu didn't even need to do anything; he just needed to spread the news.

Wang Wang Chonggu had always been like this. On the one hand, he strictly purged the party internally, and for those who traded with foreigners like Chen Qiao Chen Qiao Bixing and the Bai family of Yangcheng, he never showed mercy. On the other hand, he was also uniting those who could be united, willing to leak some news, making people willing to follow him.

But the Equalizing Fields and Corvee Law had no benefits, and even caused harm to the Wang family, which ate and drank in luxury.

"Sigh, being too rich is also a kind of trouble." Wang Qian said painfully. He was really painful. He wanted to do something, but because his family was too rich, he could only do things that lost money. How could he not be worried?

San San Niangzi pointed to the door and said sharply, "The door is there!"

San San Niangzi still owed the Emperor 120,000 taels of silver and hadn't paid it back, yet Wang Qian was crying about being rich here. Who could stand this? It was too damn annoying.

"Okay! Leaving!" Wang Qian shook his head and left. His task was completed, the wool was successfully stored, and San San Niangzi was settled in the Guild Hall. He had to continue his life as a rich young master, going to the Taibai Building to buy flower baskets and scatter money!

At this time, in the West Flower Hall of the Tonghe Palace, Zhu Zhu Yijun stood in front of the huge map, sticking small red labels on the Guanshan Discussion Platform. Li Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Wang Wang Rulong, Chen Chen Dacheng, and others surrounded the pasture in Jining Jining Hai Zi, completely driving the ten-thousand-household commander of Altan Khan out of Jining. Li Li Rusong even made a drum and pursued to the Guanshan Discussion Platform.

The Guanshan Discussion Platform was the place where the Tatars on the left and right wings met. Whenever there was a big event, they would meet there. Since the right wing moved east, the Guanshan Discussion Platform had not been used. Now the Great Ming occupied this place and renamed it the Guanshan Beacon Tower, mainly responsible for observing the enemy army.

Qi Qi Jiguang was advancing step by step. Every place he captured, he must camp and build a stockade, survey the map with the triangular surveying method, and thoroughly check the hydrology and determine the mountain situation. If he was defeated, where would it be appropriate to escape back to the Great Ming?

"Very good, Qi Shuai is mighty." Zhu Zhu Yijun stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map with burning eyes. He thought that Dong Sheng Guard could advance to Altan Khan's royal tent, Bansheng. Of course, he just thought about it and didn't intend to issue an order.

Fighting a war was always a matter of pulling one hair and moving the whole body. Commanding? How could commanding be as comfortable as lying down and winning? With a great father as a pillar of the country outside the pass, Zhu Zhu Yijun just needed to wave the flag and shout to boost his momentum.

The Great Ming's requirements for the Emperor were not high. Not causing trouble was the greatest favor. The current Great Ming was not in the early days of the dynasty that needed to determine the world with force.

"The grassland people's cavalry is not as powerful as the Central Plains cavalry." Zhu Zhu Yijun had an understanding of the war report. The casualty ratio of the Great Ming's cavalry, especially the organized cavalry, could reach an exaggerated ratio of one to ten. "One Han against five Hu" in the cavalry battalion was "one Han against ten Hu."

The equipment of the cavalry battalion was too advanced. Very few Hu people wore armor. Every soldier in the Great Ming cavalry battalion wore armor, and every three people had a set of iron heavy armor, and the other two wore cloth-faced armor.

Zeng Ceng Shengwu said, "General Ma often says that the cavalry battalion is in quality, not quantity. It seems that this is indeed the case. The Hu barbarians rely on coming and going like the wind, while the Great Ming army entering the grassland is unsupported. Now with these ten thousand cavalry, three cavalry battalions, they can attack and defend, and the Hu barbarians will never be rampant again."

When forming the cavalry battalion, Zhu Zhu Yijun asked Ma Fang, "How many are appropriate to form?" Ma Fang said ten thousand was enough.

Zhu Zhu Yijun asked again, "Back then, Emperor Wu of Han formed ten thousand cavalry battalions to launch the Mobei decisive battle. Is ten thousand really enough?"

Ma Fang didn't explain in detail, just said it was enough.

Facts proved that it was indeed enough. The Great Ming's infantry and chariot battalions were not without the power to fight back against the grassland cavalry. The large appearance of firearms allowed the Great Ming army to complete the Great Ming's strategy without excessively pursuing the number of cavalry.

Ma Fang and Zeng Ceng Shengwu's views were extremely similar. Ma Fang, who was from Xuan-Da, believed: The grassland is much colder than in the Qin and Han dynasties. The population that the grassland can carry is declining. The Great Ming's policy of combining sea and land will not change, but there are priorities. Opening the seas is the key direction of expansion.

Ma Fang and Zeng Ceng Shengwu didn't make it very clear. The Capital Battalion now mainly conquers, and it also has the greatest role, which is to maintain Imperial power.

"Qi Shuai has a memorial returning to the court, beheading three Jin merchants, Shengkui, Shenglu, and Zhao Dejin. It rained three days ago. These three merchants were greedy and insatiable, following the army to do business, wantonly raising prices, and were beheaded to show the public." Zhang Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Wang Chonggu and talked about the front line.

These were all Jin merchants, following the army to go out on an expedition.

"Well killed, they deserve to die." Wang Wang Chonggu said directly, not giving Zhang Zhang Juzheng a chance to attack. The Jin Party was very large, and there were many Jin merchants. It was not surprising that a few scum appeared, and they deserved to die. Wang Wang Chonggu had warned them repeatedly. If they didn't listen to his advice, they deserved to die.

What kind of place is the front line? It is a place that kills people, a battlefield where contradictions are most intense and the enemy and ourselves are distinct. Playing such tricks on the battlefield and shaking the morale of the army, if they don't die, who dies?

The Great Ming's expedition is not just a few big flags and a few camps; that is a joke. On the contrary, an expedition is a very cumbersome matter. With more than ten thousand people, it is a natural society, a mobile town, and a large-scale army will naturally give birth to society and markets.

Besides the merchants following the army, there are also postmen following the army, camp prostitutes following the army, civilian laborers following the army, etc., which belong to the auxiliary camp.

There are no camp prostitutes in the Capital Battalion. This is Qi Qi Jiguang's requirement, out of consideration for maintaining military discipline. Mainly because the Great Ming Capital Battalion's military pay is high, so the requirements are also high. The Capital Battalion is not a monk, but returning home in triumph, not bringing military pay home, but wasting it on women's bellies does not violate military law, but not being lewd while marching is Qi Qi Jiguang's requirement.

Looking at the full pay of 18 taels of silver per year, the regulations were implemented.

Zhu Zhu Yijun finished reading the memorial and could only say they deserved to die. The Great Ming going out of the pass to fight was a very distant thing in the West. Everyone was anxious and uneasy, and they were anxious about the victory or defeat. These merchants, in order to compete for and obtain military supplies cheaply, took advantage of the rain to stir up rumors that the road was blocked and supplies were difficult, hoarding goods and raising prices, while also spreading rumors.

Just the charge of shaking the morale of the army was enough for Qi Qi Jiguang to draw the sword bestowed by the Son of Heaven to kill. Qi Qi Jiguang was a military god outside the pass, but he was extremely cautious internally. He also investigated carefully, and it turned out that these three merchants were trading with foreigners, that is, colluding with the ten-thousand-household commander under Altan Khan to deliberately create trouble.

"These are Jin people." Zhang Zhang Juzheng said seriously.

Wang Wang Chonggu shook his head and said, "They are not anymore. Before leaving, I told them: 'Going out of the pass is only for the Great Ming's victory. If there is a loss to the country, I will compensate myself. If it is not for the country, then it is a traitor to the country.'"

"My requirements are not high. When they are fighting, don't be rebellious. If they can't even do this, then they deserve it."

The logic was very correct, but most of the time, everyone still chose their fellow townsmen, classmates, and party interests first, and private interests before public interests. This was the choice in most cases. Wang Wang Chonggu didn't want to build the Jin Party into a moral model where everyone was loyal to the monarch. Wang Wang Chonggu himself wasn't one. He only required that when fighting, everyone shouldn't forget their stance and shouldn't be rebellious.

If the Capital Battalion lacked anything, causing losses, he, Wang Wang Chonggu, would still make up for it.

This requirement was really not high.

"So that's it." Zhang Zhang Juzheng didn't pursue it anymore. Wang Wang Chonggu had indeed explained it. Wang Wang Chonggu's strength in purging the party internally was great, and these three Jin merchants were indeed difficult to implicate Wang Wang Chonggu.

Zhang Zhang Juzheng felt a little nostalgic. The current Wang Wang Chonggu was not easy to deal with. Back then, when Zhang Zhang Juzheng wanted to clean up Wang Wang Chonggu, it was really three punches and two kicks.

Wang Wang Chonggu was not easy to deal with because he was a capable official and was truly useful.

"Sir, what do you think of the 'Memorial on Equalizing Fields and Corvee'?" Zhu Zhu Yijun approved Qi Qi Jiguang's memorial: "First behead and then report, act according to convenience, only hoping for Qi Shuai's triumph."

Zhang Zhang Juzheng bowed and said, "Your subject thinks it is very good. Let Second Grand Secretary Wang preside over this matter."

"Your Majesty, your subject cannot do it." Wang Wang Chonggu answered immediately. In this matter, admitting that he was incompetent would not be ridiculed. The three words "Equalizing Fields and Corvee," daring to say them required great courage.

Usually, whoever proposes it implements it, but that is usually the case. Regarding this Equalizing Fields and Corvee Law, Wang Wang Chonggu really didn't have the ability. Analyzing the problem and giving a method, he could do it, but letting him implement it was really looking too highly of him.

Not to mention anything else, how much support could the Emperor give him? Zhang Zhang Juzheng's New Deal, the Emperor supported it with all his strength, beheading those who spoke of the teacher's mistakes. Could Wang Wang Chonggu get this kind of support?

Their Jin Party had forced the Emperor to live in the Tonghe Palace, and even the two Empress Dowagers didn't live in the Imperial Palace.

What kind of great rebellion is this?

Having a life, and still being able to breathe, was because the Jin Party turned around in time.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 430 =====

Not to mention anything else, how much support can His Majesty give him? For Zhang Zhang Juzheng's New Policies, His Majesty gave his full support, beheading those who spoke of the Grand Secretary's faults. Can Wang Wang Chonggu get this kind of support?

Their Jin Party even forced the Emperor to move to the Tonghe Palace to live, and even the two Empress Dowagers are not living in the Imperial Palace.

What kind of treason is this?

That they still have their lives and can still breathe is because the Jin Party turned around in time.
