Chapter 156: Harmony?

The Daming treasury has always been Zhu Qizhen's guts, how much silver there is, how many things Zhu Qizhen dares to do.

Now that he only has such a small amount of money, Zhu Qizhen is naturally much more settled, and acquiesces to the cabinet's proposal to ease and compromise with the tile.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen's compromise also has limits.

There are some things that Zhu Qizhen will never do.

And the word pro. In fact, it has already angered Zhu Qizhen.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen pressed his anger down strongly.

will not be angry because of anger, and in the same way, Zhu Qizhen will not be emotional, no matter how angry Zhu Qizhen is. He was all in the deep well of the abyss, and there was no leakage.

Watching the cabinet go into a mess.

"'Send a concubine to a safe society, I don't know where to use the general.'" This is a shame for the ministers. Zhang Fu couldn't help but say: "If Your Majesty agrees to make peace, please tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”

"The minister also said goodbye." Hu Hu said.

Cao Nai said: "Two, this is a major national event, and now the treasury is empty, and the imperial court has nowhere to borrow money and grain, once the war is over, the Yellow River work will be stopped, and hundreds of thousands of victims rely on the Yellow River work to live." Once the Yellow River construction is stopped, what will happen to these hundreds of thousands of victims? ”

"I'm afraid that the minister will rise up and reproduce the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and now the court is fighting with the tile spur, and there is no need to say anything if he wins, once he is defeated, the court will not have a second salary."

"At that time, the situation in Beijing will be extremely embarrassing and endanger social welfare."

"What the minister has done can be learned, there is no selfishness, this matter can be delayed, or the minister's daughter will marry with the surname Zhu, if Your Majesty agrees, the minister is willing to marry the little girl."

"Feichen doesn't love little girls, but this is not a time to fight, once there is a change. The situation is out of control. Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

What Cao Nai said is also sincere. It can be said that every sentence is blood.

Zhu Qizhen also understood that what Cao Nai said was not half a lie.

The Ming Dynasty's national strength is advancing two major events at the same time, which is not enough.

This time it's a temptation of the thorns, and if you refuse, it's likely to be a big battle.

Cao Nai's move against all the ministers is really because he feels that he is right, and he would rather be infamous than do more things for the world.

Not to mention anything else, Cao Nai's remarks today show that there is no political future in the future.

Without him, the position of the first assistant, the upper part of the Son of Heaven, and the lower part of the ministers, it is impossible to sit firmly in the position of the first assistant without the holy family, and it is impossible to sit firmly in the position of the first assistant without the recognition of a large number of officials below.

On this day, Cao Nai, in a-for-tat confrontation with Zhang Fu and Hu Hui, was already dead-faced, and Zhang Fu and Hu Hu both had a political group behind them. Not alone.

Of the six members of the cabinet today, two people are clearly opposed, and the rest may not support him. He's already quite passive.

This matter is thankless for Cao Nai.

There is no interest at all.

It can only be said that Cao Nai believes that what he said is right.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the first assistant, this is not the time to fight with the tile, and the relatives are unwilling, but the country has always been thick and thin, and the tile-spur tribute is the most diligent, should the court be rewarded." Wang Zhi finally spoke.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes.

He understood what Wang Zhi meant.

Wang Zhi means that it is not okay to be friendly, but he can make concessions in other aspects, drag the tile spur, and let Daming get through this period of financial weakness as soon as possible.

When the Yellow River project was completed, the Ming Dynasty had the confidence to fight even if the tile spurs didn't want to fight, the imperial court would still fight.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What do the others think? ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhou Chen and Gao Gu.

Gao Gu said: "The minister is shallow and does not dare to speak falsely. ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered in his heart and said secretly: "Waste." ”

It's a waste, and ministers in other places may have the possibility of riding the wall, but what kind of place is this, it is the Wenhua Palace, and it is the highest decision-making center of the Ming Dynasty.

Here to decide all the major affairs of the Ming Dynasty, a cabinet minister, can say that he has no opinion?

What's the use of that?

Zhu Qizhen still didn't care about it, and then looked at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said: "The minister is in charge of money and grain, and other things are not clear, but one thing is clear, that is, the money and grain of the court are not enough, so no matter what your majesty decides, the minister will support it, as long as your majesty gives an order, the minister can do everything possible to raise any amount of money and food for your majesty." ”

"Shameless." Cao Nai looked at Zhou Chen and said secretly in his heart.

In Cao Nai's view, Zhou Chen's performance fully explains why neither Yang Shiqi nor Yang Pu feel that Zhou Chen is qualified to serve as the first assistant.

At this critical time, as a bachelor in charge of the household department, you know the most about the money and food expenses of the Ming Dynasty, and I really want you to tell the emperor about the following situation, don't let the emperor make wrong decisions, but you are actually making sycophants.

Yes, in front of the emperor, everyone will inevitably pat themselves on the back, but they also have their own insistence, at this time, we must adhere to the correct opinion and help the king.

Where can this be.

Cao Nai also wanted to speak.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "This matter is very important, let me think about it." Let's go back first. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately got up and threw his sleeves away.

After Zhu Qizhen arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and gently held the teacup in his hand and turned it around one by one. Zhu Qizhen didn't know how many times he turned, and suddenly smashed on the ground with a strong "pop", and countless porcelain pieces flew up.

Zhu Qizhen stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands and closed his eyes.

To tell the truth, as soon as Zhu Qizhen returned to the Qianqing Palace, he wanted to smash things. His cultivation for so many years has allowed him to suppress his emotions, and in the end, he couldn't suppress it anymore, so he smashed the cup.

As an emperor, it is a very bad habit to be angry at will.

Because every time you get angry, it may be a life, as if Zhu Qizhen was angry about Wang Zhen's death, and hundreds of eunuchs were implicated at once.

If these are Wang Zhen's henchmen, but does everyone have a way to die?

Not necessarily.

Therefore, restrain your anger, emotions, and expressions, and reach the realm of thunder in your chest and a face like a peaceful lake. It is what Zhu Qizhen has always asked of himself.

It's just that a lot of times he can't do it.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know how he got into such a dilemma, the Yellow River broke and spread for thousands of miles, and repairing the Yellow River could make the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River much calmer for a long time.

Even if the Yellow River goes north, the Huai River control project can be started.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen knows that this is a bigger project than the Hebei Water Conservancy Project, after all, the Yellow River project is big, but the others are just a river embankment.

And the entire Huaihe River basin is mostly large, once the Huaihe River is calmed down, it is a big granary in the Ming Dynasty.

How can Zhu Qizhen not do such a thing.

And the matter of tile spurs and relatives seriously violated Zhu Qizhen's ideology. In Zhu Qizhen's opinion, it was simply a kick on his nose and face, and Zhu Qizhen would never agree to such a thing.

Not only did he go against Zhu Qizhen's personal wishes, but Zhu Qizhen did a lot of things against his will. Or is it because of the reputation behind him, as well as the current political influence.

Most of the civil and military generals of the imperial court vigorously opposed this matter.

Zhu Qizhen went against the will of the people, although he was not Cao Nai, but he had to pay the price.

It's just that the problem Cao Nai said is real. There is no grain and grass, no military salaries, what kind of war to fight, and there is no problem with the current Ming Dynasty's financial maintenance strategy.

But if you fight with the Tile Thorn, all kinds of expenses will definitely not be able to support it.

When the time comes, Zhu Qizhen doesn't know what to do? You can't fight with hunger on all the people below, so that you can win the war again.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen admires the orthodox emperor in history a little, in such a situation, he still dares to go out to drive in person? In other words, after more than ten years of governance, the current situation is not as good as before the change of the civil fort.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen was deeply frustrated.

Actually, he was wrong.

The orthodoxy in history is far worse than now, Fujian Ye Liuzong died, Deng Maoqi is still fighting everywhere, the battle of Luchuan lasted until last year, years of war, because of the rebellion in Guizhou, these two times, the imperial court sent 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress, and Guangxi Miao rebellion resurged, Guangdong Lianzhou Yao chaos. As for Huguang, there were all kinds of incidents in the White Lotus Sect in Jiangxi, and they even mobilized Huguang's troops.

In short, later generations called it a landslide in the world.

Speaking of which, the current Zhu Qizhen is much happier than the orthodoxy in history.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen didn't feel this happiness at all.
