Chapter 1845: Nan Xing
Following Zhengde's trip to the south of Beijing to play around, Jiajing's goal of leaving the capital is very clear, and it is still the Xingwang Mansion that he has in mind.
But I have to admit that the emperor, who grew up in An Lu since he was a child, has a strong affection for An Lu and already regards An Lu as his real hometown.
From the initial elevation of Anluzhou to the Seungcheonfu with an administrative status equivalent to that of Suncheon, to the many instructs of the cabinet ministers to compile the history of the Hindu, and finally the Seungcheon Emperor's Palace, which was expanded on the basis of the Heungwang Mansion.
This kind of measures shows Jiajing's feelings for An Lu, and even in the deepest part of Jiajing's heart, he is already eager to move the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty to Chengtian.
It's just that the emperor's Nan Xingchengtian is not a good thing, not only does it cost a huge amount of money and food, but the emperor's safety is undoubtedly threatened to a certain extent, and it will even cause the entire Ming Dynasty to fall into turmoil.
As the finance minister of this dynasty, Lin Haoran knew the most about the current Ming finances, and knew that this must be a considerable burden, and it would even arouse the idea of Jiajing expanding Chengtianfu City.
is also the same, the first thought in his heart is to dissuade Jiajing and let Jiajing dispel Nan Xingchengtian's thoughts.
"Your Majesty, the matter of returning the "Chengtian Dazhi" and begging for medicine can be handed over to our courtiers to go, and the matter of Nan Xing must not be!" Xu Jie stood up to dissuade the tunnel at the first time.
"Your Majesty, please think twice, don't be lucky to inherit the sky!" Yan Ne and Li Chunfang followed and knelt on the ground to echo, and together they dissuaded Jiajing Nanxing Chengtian.
Wu Shan is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he also stood up to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, the matter of Nan Xing is a big matter, please think twice!" ”
For a time, the four ministers unanimously dissuaded and prevented Jiajing from really being fortunate to inherit the sky.
In all dynasties, there is no shortage of emperors who want to leave Beijing. It's just that except for the Zhengde Emperor who likes to mess around, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty died in the capital, and they were not even able to leave Shuntian Mansion all year round.
As for the following important ministers, their attitude towards this matter is surprisingly unanimous, that is, to dissuade the emperor from leaving Beijing.
Lin Haoran originally wanted to let go of the grievances between the two sides and unanimously dissuade Jiajing, but suddenly stopped. Stemming from an inexplicable political sense, he turned his head thoughtfully to look at Xu Jie.
Sometimes this is the case, when a conclusion that does not have any logical analysis suddenly pops out of the head and thus directly affects a person's actions.
Although Huang Jin knew the emperor's strong feelings for An Lu, he didn't want the emperor to toss like this. is only limited to his status as a eunuch, but he is not qualified to stand up and dissuade? It was the reaction of looking at Jiajing curiously.
Jiajing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly? Although he knew that this matter would definitely meet with the opposition of the courtiers, he did not expect that the opinions of the four important ministers of the cabinet would be so unanimous.
He suddenly realized that Lin Haoran didn't say anything? It was to look at Lin Haoran and ask, "Lin Aiqing? What is your attitude? ”
After hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at Lin Haoran.
Xu Jie knew that Lin Haoran was a person who had never played cards according to common sense? His face looked unsightly, and Yan Ne directly suppressed his voice and warned: "Lin Shangshu? In the face of the big right and wrong? Don't make a mistake! ”
Lin Haoran knew that it was a consistent practice of officials to dissuade the emperor from leaving Beijing, especially when Ming Yingzong was captured during the Northern Expedition, which made it politically correct to prevent the emperor from leaving Beijing.
He turned a deaf ear to Yan Ne's words, and responded to Jiajing: "Return to the emperor? The minister is calculating whether the household department can bear the expenses of the emperor's southern flattery! ”
Hey?
When you hear this answer? Only then did Xu Jie and the others come to their senses.
Although Nan Xing will not be as huge as the cost of the Southern Tour and the Southern Tour, it is also a huge expense, with more than 10,000 guards alone, and it will take more than half a year to go back and forth to Anlu.
But regardless of whether Jiajing listens to the dissuasion or not, if the household department is simply unable to bear this huge expense? The emperor's desire to go to Chengtian Mansion was already bankrupt.
"Lin Aiqing, can the household department afford the expenses of Nan Xingchengtian this time?" Jiajing's face sinks like water? Asked indifferently.
Lin Haoran seemed to have thought about it a few times, and then responded honestly and credibly: "Back to the emperor? It's a lot of money, and this February can be described as a period of scarcity? There is not much money left in Taicang? It's already impossible to afford the expenses of Nan Xingchengtian this time! ”
Xu Jie and the others listened to these words? couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and found that Lin Haoran's means of dissuasion were even more clever, and Jiajing's face became more and more ugly.
It was when the two sides were in different moods that Lin Haoran's words changed sharply: "If the emperor insists on Nan Xingchengtian, I am afraid that he will urge Xu Ge Lao's protégé to escort the stolen money to Beijing as soon as possible, and this matter will be a matter of course!" ”
Although the imperial court had already ordered the raid of Yan's house when it cut off Yan Shifan's head, the new Jiangxi governor appointed by the imperial court did not arrive at Yuanzhou Mansion until August.
The raid on Yan's house took more than two months to come to an end, and although the two million silver escorted were already on the way, they had not yet been transported to the capital.
As Lin Haoran said, if the two million silver arrived in the capital, then the household department would not need to pay a penny at all, and Jiajing Nanxingchengtian's expenses would be solved.
This......
Huang Jin looked at Lin Haoran in a daze, and suddenly found that there was really a huge gap in people's brains. In just two sentences, not only helped the emperor solve Nan Xing's money problem, but even took the opportunity to accuse Xu Jie's protégé of keeping the festival and copying the Yan family's progress too slowly.
According to the usual practice, the property of corrupt officials is directly entered into the inner treasury, so the emperor Nanxing spends the emperor's own money, and the world may not have too many accusations.
The smile on Xu Jie's face was not exhausted, listening to Lin Haoran's answer, but he looked at Lin Haoran angrily, where is this kid dissuading, he is obviously helping the emperor clear the obstacles.
Jiajing's eyes lit up slightly, but he almost forgot about this large sum of money.
"Lin Shangshu, that dirty silver has already been used for other purposes, and the 730,000 taels for the construction of the Xianling Qien Hall will come out from this. Not to mention that the money has other uses, Daming's process has always been to count before counting, what do you intend to do? Xu Jie stood up again and accused.
Lin Haoran faced the accusation, but he responded lightly: "The lower officials are trying to find a way for the emperor, these two million can always squeeze out a sum of money, right?" ”
For a while, the eyes of the two people were directly on the same page, and a spark immediately flashed in the air.
