Chapter 7: The Fundamentals (3,000 Chapters)
Zhu Youxiao's angry appearance didn't look like he was pretending, not to mention that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty didn't think that this young son of heaven, who used to like carpenters, would have the same scheming as Emperor Wanli.
The emperor was furious, and whether the civil and military ministers were really scared or not, they all knelt on the ground in panic.
"Let's see, what is this." Zhu Youxiao looked furious, and threw a copy of the note handed over by Wang An in front of Fang Congzhe, and asked without waiting for him to reply:
"You're the head of the cabinet, take a charter!"
Fang Congzhe was also a little surprised, in this partisan dispute, the Chu Party was defeated, and before the Emperor of the Apocalypse succeeded to the throne, it was rumored that he was close to the Donglin Party, how could he not allow his resignation.
Don't think about it much, in the face of Zhu Youxiao's questioning, he had no choice but to continue to do this first assistant who had already lost any real power, put away his recitals and said:
"Back to the emperor, the first emperor sent a lot of disaster relief silver to the provinces of Huaibei, and now the famine is still like this, I think the local officials are not doing well, should..."
Before he finished speaking, one of them said impatiently: "Your Majesty, Fang Congzhe has twelve major crimes, and he should never continue to be the head of the cabinet, otherwise, I will be in danger!" ”
"Please also ask the emperor to remove Fang Congzhe from the position of head assistant of the cabinet, and live in it with a capable person!" All of a sudden, almost all the officials of half of the imperial court knelt on the ground and forced the palace in unison.
Such a momentum also surprised Zhu Youxiao, who had expected it a long time ago.
It seems that the Donglin Party has a large scale until now, and half of the court is the Donglin Party, and how many of the officials below are their people.
If it is allowed to develop, I am afraid that in a few years, the entire court will become the same voice, and at that time, it will be difficult to do whatever you want.
In fact, the news of the great hunger in Huaibei provinces was already known to the ministers present, but none of them reported it in advance.
Can this kind of news come up, can there be a good thing?
The Donglin officials of various provinces in Huaibei were all inserted with great difficulty, and after tracking it down, I am afraid that they will be killed and injured!
Yang Sichang is the son of Yang He, an important member of the Donglin Party, and it stands to reason that he should help the Donglin Party, but this sloppy performance this time has added a lot of trouble to the Donglin Party.
There was no time to consider Yang Sichang's problem, Fang Congzhe's words came down, but it made the Donglin Party present numb.
Where did the disaster relief money go, they are clear, this kind of thing is not visible, as long as a little check, the emperor can know the cat!
The one who just stood up to change the topic was Yang Lian, who was known as the "Donglin Saint Seiya" in later generations.
In terms of intelligence and prestige, Ye Xianggao, who was the head of the Donglin Party, recommended Zai Fu, is the first, but if it is about criticizing current politics and the ability to spread rumors, Yang Lian said second, and no one dares to call it the first.
He came out and said a word, which directly formed the current trend of the Donglin Party forcing the palace.
Looking at the courtiers who were nearly half kneeling, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times and said, "Yang Lian, you are quite capable. ”
Yang Lian didn't dare to face each other head-on, but he didn't have the slightest idea of retreating, and bowed down and said, "Don't dare!" ”
"Loyal to the ear, please ask the emperor to deal with the traitorous ministers, and return the people of the world to a clean slate!"
Fang Congzheyan glanced over there, traitor, are you talking about the old man?
Yu's Donglin ministers also echoed in unison: "Please also ask the emperor to return the innocence of the people of the world!" ”
At every turn, he has to say something on behalf of the people of the world, as if they are all representatives of the people, which is one of the common moves used by the Donglin Party to attack.
Since it has been determined that Zhu Youxiao, who is the new successor, has no opinion and does not have a clear understanding of the party struggle in the court, the Donglin party members will not back down.
There is only one thing they rely on, the law does not blame the public!
Of course, they made the right bet, after all, it is not the last year of Chongzhen, and Zhu Youxiao, who has crossed over, does not want to operate blindly, but let Daming finish playing decades in advance.
The current Zhu Youxiao has no military power, and secondly, he has just ascended the throne for a day, and he has not had time to cultivate his cronies in this court, of course, it is impossible for one to be unwilling, and cut down all half of the courtiers in the court.
And these Donglin parties are not something you can stop by cutting them, they are at best just representatives of the chaebol groups in Jiangnan and other places in the court.
If they are gone, there will be more representatives coming up, and they will continue to build a foundation of interests, and it will always be this situation!
However, as the emperor, it is still possible to make these self-confident Donglin Party uncomfortable first.
Thinking of this, the anger on Zhu Youxiao's face gradually dissipated, and he directly put aside Yang Lian and the other kneeling courtiers, closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, and said, "Wang An, announce the decree." ”
After speaking, a trace of arc appeared at the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, and he wanted to use Kang Mazi's path to deal with these righteous messengers who were higher than the sky.
Wang An, who had been prepared earlier, stepped forward a few steps and said, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says:
I take the age and inherit the Hongye. Its ancestors are only meritorious, but only obeyed by the canon; It is difficult for officials to govern the people, and they will seek to be flexible. Although I am not sensitive, I also have a heart for the people.
Its order, Huaibei provinces, provinces, Taiwan, yamen, and secretaries have divisions, and they will be exempted from taxation for three years! ”
I have to say that the hand that Kang Mazi has played is still quite effective.
The Donglin ministers, who were still forcing the palace, heard this, and one by one as if they were deaf, and they lay there and confirmed each other several times before they dared to believe it.
That's right, the provinces in Huaibei are directly exempt from taxation for three years!?
Even the Donglin Party didn't expect that this temporary forced palace would achieve such great results.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse not only did not listen to Fang Congzhe's words, but went to investigate the matter of Huaibei's disaster relief silver, but took a step back against them and issued an edict to exempt Huaibei from taxation for three years.
Taxes and taxes are often called together, but they are fundamentally different and are often confused.
After the collection is collected, it goes directly into the royal treasury, which belongs to the emperor's private money, which is generally used to reward meritorious officials, and the tax is taken away by the treasury of each yamen for "official business".
This official use, naturally officials can also use various names to get into their pockets, for this, Zhu Youxiao's heart is like a mirror.
Otherwise, do you think that all the civil officials with "two sleeves and a clean breeze", where did the mansions comparable to the royal gardens come from, and save money?
Exemption for three years is a good deed praised by everyone, but if you are exempt from taxes for three years, the civil officials will unite to scold you, the emperor, for being inauthentic.
In the eyes of the Donglin Party, the exemption for three years is your royal money, in other words, they feel that this is a concession that Zhu Youxiao had to make in the face of this forced palace.
Yang Lian was moved to cry bitterly, thinking that it was his righteous words that moved the heavens, so that the young son of heaven Zhu Youxiao realized that the Donglin Party was the only hope to save the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he was excited, he took the lead in standing up and shouted: "The emperor is sage, the Ming is blessed!" ”
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty congratulated in unison: "Blessed is the Ming Dynasty!" ”
As a result, the momentum of the Donglin Party in the first early dynasty of the Apocalypse Dynasty was suddenly resolved, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were singing praises to the saints and virtues of the young son of heaven Zhu Youxiao.
For these Donglin Party brain supplements, Zhu Youxiao is naturally happy to gather a wave of people's hearts.
When the news of this three-year exemption spread, the whole world knew that it was my Zhu Youxiao's will, and on the first day of his accession to the throne, he granted amnesty to the world, and on the second day, he decreed that the famine land would be exempted from taxation for three years.
Isn't this people's heart uncomfortable?
With this basic foundation, Zhu Youxiao said that the Donglin Party or something, all of them are scum!
With the shouts of the officials of the Honglu Temple, the first early dynasty of the Apocalypse Dynasty came to a perfect end.
......
After the next dynasty, many key officials of the Donglin Party gathered in Yang Lian's house, and before the door entered, they were all smiling, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"Yang Gong's deeds in the court this morning, I'm afraid that tomorrow it will spread throughout the capital!" Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile.
Yang Lian's face was also full of red light, and he gave up his hand again and again.
"This is all the trust of your colleagues, this time the emperor adopted our advice, the land of Huaibei will be exempted from taxation for three years, how happy the people are!"
"Thanks to Yang Gong's righteousness!" The crowd returned the salute.
At this time, a door ran in a panic and rushed to everyone in the hall: "The emperor summoned Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyi Guard, to the front this morning!" ”
Hearing this, all the officials gasped.
When it comes to the name Liu Qiao, many of the Donglin bigwigs present may not know it, but the title of Jinyi Wei Dudu, they are like thunder.
This does not bode well!
Zhu Youxiao successfully ascended the throne, and showed the intention of making concessions in the early dynasty, the Donglin Party thought that it was a success, and the next step was to set fire to get rid of the scourge of Xili Xuanzhi.
But before they could do it, the most feared thing came, and the Jinyi Guard, who had not been pampered for many years, was suddenly summoned by the emperor.
I still don't know what Zhu Youxiao and Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyi Wei, said, in the eyes of the Donglin Party, it will definitely not be a good thing!
Thinking of this, the main hall of the Yang Mansion, which was still smiling and smiling, suddenly became silent, exempt from three years, and now it seems that it is more like a meaningful move by the young emperor.
Ye Xianggao, the leader of Donglin, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "You will write a note tonight, recommend Wang An as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and when he takes the throne, I will ask him what the emperor and Liu Qiao said in the Qianqing Palace." ”
Yang Lian had an epiphany and arched his hand: "Ye Gong is high! ”
