The routine is not right!

It's not right!

Previously, they had always believed that this was just another "contracting" conspiracy, the purpose of which was to get Guo Dan to contract the tariffs.

Then this time it is to say that the sky is broken, and the ministers will never agree to Guo Dan's contract.

Nowadays, the entire bureaucracy has a phobia of "contracting", and when it hears "contracting", its endocrine system becomes disordered.

But unexpectedly, the pair of emperors and merchants suddenly changed their routines, and Wanli stood up directly.

This...!

It's really not kind!

We have just adapted to your contracting Dafa, and you have come up with another set, which is unreasonable, and we are not young anymore.

"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

Yang Ming was so anxious that he stood up, no matter what, and then objected.

"I know it's not in order."

Wanli smiled and nodded, but it seemed that this was Wanli's last smile, and suddenly, his expression changed, and he said angrily: "Isn't this all forced by you people?" I have long said that I hope to work hard to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. ”

Syllable!

At this point, he suddenly snapped his head and pointed to the minister at the bottom of the steps, "But you people regard my words as wind in your ears. It is normal for the state to allocate funds to control the river, in which dynasty and generation, but you are the only one who thinks that this river control is as if it is a heinous crime.

Hum... If you can't even manage the canal, how can you talk about making great efforts! ”

The emperor was furious, and many ministers subconsciously wanted to kneel down and plead guilty, but their routine really hasn't changed at all.

But Ding Jilu suddenly stood up and replied directly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not saying that the treasury should not allocate funds to control the river, but the scholar Wang promised that this tariff would be enough to afford the river control, so that the imperial court promised to fully implement the new tariff law.

Now it has only been a few months, the cabinet has asked the household department to allocate money, as a cabinet minister, how can he not be trustworthy, if in the future everyone follows suit, first boast of Haikou, win the support of the imperial court, and then ask the imperial court for subsidies, if this continues, the national finances will be in an embarrassment, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice. ”

Wanli said: "I didn't say that your worries were groundless, but Guo Dan has already said it clearly, clearly, and reasonably, and Scholar Wang is not at fault, now it's just that you don't believe him, but I believe that he will never be wrong."

Now either the treasury will allocate money to the customs to clean up the river, or the customs duties will be credited to my inner government account, and I will bear the rest, and I will not say much about the rest, after all, your quarrel is not as exciting and interesting as the shrews on the street. ”

Guo Dan listened, pursed his lips, almost couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and thought to himself, the fat house has changed, and it has become more and more humorous.

But the ministers of the Ming Dynasty can also withstand ridicule, and they will never commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river because of the emperor's sarcasm, after all, they may be spanked by taking off their pants at any time, and they are humiliated, which is nothing.

They just didn't adapt to this new routine, and they really didn't dare to judge for a while.

Song Jingsheng saw that the situation had become confusing, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the minister thinks that this needs to be considered in the long run!" ”

"You are right, this matter is indeed very important, so it is not appropriate to delay it any longer, and it must be decided as soon as possible, after all, there are still so many people waiting for the court to pay their wages."

Wanli swept his eyes and said: "You always tell me on weekdays that you want to be benevolent to the country and sympathetic to the people, why don't you care about the people this time?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers couldn't stand it, after all, this was the capital they could endure to survive, if this theory was overturned by Wanli, then how would they persuade the emperor in the future.

These smart people began to rack their brains.

After all, this routine has never appeared before, and it is a little unbelievable that the emperor would do this!

They are mainly judging whether this Wanli really wants to return the customs taxes, or wants to use this to force them to comply.

If it is the former, then they will choose the latter, if it is the latter, then they will choose the former, in short, the emperor will not succeed.

Li Zhi secretly glanced at Guo Dan, only to see that Guo Dan was calm, and then glanced at Wanli, and saw that Wanli had already sat back on the dragon chair, expressionless, but grabbed the chair handle with one hand, and there was some reflection on his forehead, obviously a little nervous.

One calm, the other nervous.

What does this mean?

What should I choose?

Unable to judge, they began to settle accounts again, and if the tariffs were given to Wanli, what consequences would they bear.

If they relented and let the court allocate funds to the banknotes, what would they suffer?

After weighing the pros and cons, they found that the tariff was under the control of the cabinet, and they couldn't intervene now, so they didn't seem to lose anything in Wanli's account, but the river was often in trouble, and it had to be managed, so they could let Wanli come up with more money to govern the river, which was very beneficial to the people and the country.

Because they have always felt that Wanli is too greedy, and the country has no money, it is definitely a good thing for the country to let Wanli take the money out to control the river.

If they give in and promise the treasury to allocate funds to the canal, Wanli will not lose anything, which is equivalent to the cabinet picking up a big bargain, the treasury will pay the money, and the cabinet will benefit, which will definitely not work.

After all, Song Jingsheng was the head of the household, he was the first to calculate the account, and asked: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being stupid, Weichen really doesn't know, how can this tariff be offset in the accounts of the inner government?" ”

Wanli couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyebrows.

Zhang Whale saw it very clearly, glanced at Guo Dan again, and found that Guo Dan was standing with his head down, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, and said in his heart, it turned out that they were scaring us.

Many ministers have also seen it, and they already have plans in their hearts.

"It's on the books, uh... It's on the account. Wanli's gaze began to drift, and his momentum also dropped a little.

Li Zhi immediately said: "The ministers don't understand very well. ”

"This...!"

Wanli secretly glanced at Guo Dan again.

Guo Dan had already buried his head in his chest and found a large arch bridge.

Wanli said: "It's just... It is to hand over the customs duties to me, and then my inner government will be responsible for the expenditure of the river. ”

Ding Jilu immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is not right! The minister also thought that the internal government gave the corresponding revenue to the national treasury every year to offset the tariff. ”

Yang Mingshen nodded and said, "Ding Yushi is reasonable, and the old minister also thinks so, because only in this way can it be considered reasonable!" Otherwise, someone will chew on the root of his tongue and say, Your Majesty, that you are not doing this to control the river, but to keep the tariffs for yourself, and this person is terrible! ”

Jiang Yinglan stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that if you just transfer the customs duties to the government treasury, it is not in accordance with the rules, unless Your Majesty comes up with the corresponding income in exchange." ”

The ministers were all against this.

The credibility of this Wanli is really not good.

As long as it comes to money, the ministers don't believe Wanli, after all, Wanli used to cheat the treasury of money, and often didn't believe it, if the tariffs are handed over to you like this, you can let the treasury bear the river management at that time, even if we resist the pressure, but you go down with a holy decree, do those local officials dare to disobey the holy decree?

If you're in this routine, then there's nothing to talk about.

Shen Shixing suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is better to do things according to the rules, and the money needed to control the river is already spent by the national treasury. ”

Wanli just wanted to nod, Li Zhi immediately said: "Shen Shoufu's words are biased, and the lower officials vaguely remember that the cabinet was conclusive at the beginning, and this tariff will definitely be able to afford the management of the river." ”

This tariff is the root of all the recent contradictions, the conservatives feel that they have suffered a big loss, and you want to go further, it is absolutely impossible, don't even think about a penny, this time you have to stop you even if you are desperate.

Wanli was angry, slapped the table and said, "Exchange is exchange, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Most of the ministers bowed and shouted in unison.

Wanli was stunned and blinked.

There was silence in the hall.

After a while, Wanli suddenly snorted angrily, got up and left angrily.

Li Gui was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Many ministers had triumphant smiles on their faces.

With your little means, you still want to bluff us?

All we can do is hehe!

This time you're really going to ride a tiger!

"Guo Dan, Guo Dan, don't go yet!"

Suddenly, I heard a shout outside the door.

The ministers looked back at the same time, only to see a small eunuch running out from the door, and then they found that Guo Dan, who was still standing in the hall, had already come down the steps.

I almost let this kid run away!

Soon, Guo Dan lowered his head and followed the eunuch in the direction of the harem.

"Hehe... This time it's a good show. ”

Yang Ming stroked his beard deeply and smiled.

They glanced at Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, and then walked out with a smile on their faces.

Because Wanli did not determine in the end, whether it was on the account of the inner government.

They estimated that Wanli would definitely find a way to reverse it, so they would be able to concentrate their firepower, attack the cabinet, and repeal the new tariff law.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.

After they all went out, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue slowly walked out of the palace.

Looking at their proud backs, Wang Xijue couldn't help but sigh: "Are we overestimating them?" ”

The two of them know the truth, the purpose of this whole drama is to get tariffs, and they didn't know before that Wanli and Guo Dan would take back the tariffs, however, Guo Dan's misjudgment caused them to be a little timid, and they hurriedly threw the pot to Guo Dan, never thinking that this would come back again, they really didn't need to do anything, just quietly watch Wanli and Guo Dan's superb performances.

Shen Shixing sighed: "It's not that we overestimate them, but we have always underestimated Guo Dan, in fact, Guo Dan didn't give them extra choices." ”
