Chapter 1764: Where is the Emperor's Heart?
The rain continued to fall, as if there was no end to it.
In his original plan, the two plans were formally proposed to the imperial court in the name of the household department. If Xu Jie obstructs it, he and his father-in-law will push forward under pressure together, and strive to get the emperor's support.
Due to the imminent summer tax, even if it is not possible to achieve the nationwide promotion of the change of grain levy to silver, at least it can win the opportunity of one province to carry out a pilot project, so as to pave the way for the future promotion of the national "grain levy to tax".
No move can be achieved overnight, and he also wants to take it step by step, after opening a gap, and then slowly work in this direction.
It's just that things can't all fall into his calculations after all, Xu Jie took the opportunity of the emperor's illness to temporarily suppress these two plans in the cabinet in a high-sounding manner.
It is also impossible to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially Xu Jie, who is known for his forbearance and ruthlessness.
Xu Jie, one of the largest landlords in the Ming Dynasty, would not agree to these two plans. By pressing the two proposals on the cabinet, he skillfully turned the passive into the active due to the time constraints.
Now that the two plans have not been presented to the emperor, he will either accept the result of postponing the plan to change grain to silver in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or he can only be pushed to the emperor in person by taking risks.
Because the plan was disrupted by Xu Jie, he couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions at all, and there were undoubtedly great opportunities and risks here.
If he wins, he will win the whole situation, and he will be able to try to change the grain into grain relatively smoothly; If he loses, the plan he proposed is not in line with the holy will, and such persistence will make the emperor very displeased.
The cold rain kept lapping on him, making him feel more and more painful.
Originally, I just wanted to symbolically try to fight again and send the two plans to the emperor in person. It's just that providence made people make people inexplicably use this rainstorm to set off the atmosphere and establish a brilliant image of reform for others.
"With such a heavy rain, it's really hard for Lin Ruo to be foolish!"
"Lin Shangshu is really loyal and brave, which makes the old man impressed with him!"
"Not to mention these two plans, this act alone shows his sincerity!"
……
Since Yin Tai, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has not yet arrived, and the work of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is still presided over by Li Chunfang, Gao Yi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Yiqin, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who came to report to Li Chunfang, saw this scene from a distance and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
In fact, there are many people who can see this scene. Not to mention some palace maids and eunuchs, as well as several Han generals guarding the door, and the ministers on the other side of the Wuyi Palace.
It is completely conceivable that regardless of the success or failure of this time, Lin Haoran's actions will definitely win the favor of some people, and many people will even give him a good hat of admonishment.
Of course, there will also be great disadvantages in this, and today's saints prefer obedient and sensible courtiers rather than "rebel ministers" who cry Zuo Shunmen.
"Why has it been so long? Come out and send me away! ”
Lin Haoran, who was kneeling under the torrential rain, felt bitter in his heart, and as the rain poured him to the crotch of his pants, he had already retreated in his heart.
If he hadn't just shouted inside, but the emperor's will to refuse to summon him still hadn't come out, he would have hurried out of here a long time ago, and the matter of those two plans could only be discussed in the long run.
In the Wanshou Palace, sandalwood is curling, and it seems peaceful and tranquil.
This palace, which was built by Xu Fan himself, although the project was relatively urgent at that time, did not leak a drop of rainwater. The sound of the rain outside is very faint, making it feel like you are in another world.
Jiajing was wearing yellow pajamas, leaning against the soft collapse, covered with a thin blanket, his lips were slightly white, but his eyes revealed a trace of malice towards the world, and the whole person was like a sharp sword.
He has been cultivating for more than 30 years, but he still has not been able to find immortality, but has fallen ill, and now he can only lie on the sickbed.
"Master, it's time to eat!"
The sound of rain outside was flickering, and Huang Jin came to the soft collapse softly and reminded in a low voice.
Jiajing sighed secretly, after all, he couldn't refine the grains, but he spit out two words: "Don't be hungry!" ”
"Master, the dragon body is important, you should eat some more!" Huang Jin immediately made a bitter face and persuaded softly.
Jiajing is a stubborn person, but it is impossible to listen to Huang Jin's persuasion, but he said lightly: "It's time to enter the elixir, right?" ”
"Yes!" Huang Jin responded, sighed helplessly, and turned around to let a palace maid outside come in.
With the court alchemists Lantian Yu and Luo Wanxiang beheaded in the West City, the most favored ones now are the new alchemists Tao Chengen, Wang Jin and Tao Fang, and the pills are also from their hands.
Jiajing took the pill, and felt a slight warm current in his lower abdomen, but in Huang Jin's concerned gaze, he opened his eyes and asked lightly: "Lin Haoran is still outside?" ”
Huang Jin glanced at Feng Bao, Feng Bao immediately nodded heavily, and responded: "Master, the people are still there!" ”
He ...... It's still too sensible! Jiajing looked quite disappointed.
Huang Jin responded with a smile: "The master is right, it's just ...... He is faithful after all! ”
"Bullshit loyalty! If he is truly faithful, then he should not come here at this time to bother me! Jiajing's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he said angrily.
Huang Jin knew that the emperor was indeed angry, so he silently replied with a word: "Yes!" ”
But no matter what kind of major events there are in the household department, I don't think about the emperor's illness, so I ran over to disturb the emperor's rest, but I still insisted on being summoned by the emperor without knowing how to advance or retreat.
After a while, Jiajing sighed softly, and then lightly ordered, "Let him come in!" ”
Huang Jin nodded lightly, and asked the little eunuch to go outside and bring people in.
After all, Lin Haoran escaped the endless torment of the rain, but when he arrived at the palace gate, he couldn't go directly to the inside to face the saint, but quickly wiped the rain on his body.
Naturally, there would be no clean clothes for him to change here, and he could only follow the little eunuch inside in soaked clothes, but through the thick tent, he couldn't see Emperor Jiajing himself at all.
Lin Haoran knew that this time it was reckless, but this was the last chance for the implementation of the plan to change grain to silver, and he had to try to convince the current emperor, so he respectfully took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "Lin Haoran, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, disturbed the emperor's Qing Xiu, and the ministers ...... Sin deserves death! ”
