Chapter 229: Jade Seal
Although the emperor handed over the jade seal of the country, he did not hand over the big seal, which made the prince feel very embarrassed.
And in the subsequent statement, his father made it clear that some major government affairs must be resolved by him.
In this way, the gift of Zen concession actually does not make much sense.
The emperor proclaimed himself the emperor, and some major affairs of the court still did not let go of power, which was very boring in the eyes of the prince, and he didn't know what his father thought in his heart.
However, although he did not hand over the emperor's seal, his body deteriorated, although it was said that even if he had the heart to take care of those major affairs of the court, his body could not be chosen by him.
In this way, the crown prince has fully taken over all the affairs of the emperor.
On the second day of his pro-government, Zuo Taishi was very appropriate. submitted a request to Zhishi, and the prince approved it almost immediately.
This caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and they all thought that the prince would inevitably make some moves to keep him, but he didn't expect that he would approve it soon, and I am afraid that even the Zuo Taishi did not expect it.
At this point, Zuo Taishi had to make a move, and Shen Yixian became the first assistant of the cabinet, so that one of the five cabinet ministers was vacant.
Sure enough, Huo Guang, who used to be the prince's master and Ren Zhan's business, successfully entered the cabinet.
Now for Yang Hai, the power is even more monstrous. The head of the five eunuchs, and the commander of the East Factory, was in the limelight for a while.
He became an insider.
In this way, it gave a deep warning to the cabinet ministers that at least in the crown prince's dynasty, there will be a large part of the power of the cabinet. It was divided by the five great eunuchs.
In the past, the emperor was in charge of the government alone, and almost all the power was firmly in his hands, and the era of bowing to his relatives will be gone forever.
Moreover, as soon as the prince was in power, the first major thing he had to do was to check the treasury of the provinces, which had already been handled a long time ago, but now he could finally come to the forefront.
Due to the strange combination of Shen Ergongzi and Mu Shaoqing and Abacus Zhang sent by him before, Zhili Province was found to be in Zhili Province, and the huge deficit Yes, the governor of Zhili had to take the blame and resign.
It seems that the prince has a big account and the local feudal officials have reported it, and once the number of the treasury does not match the account book in the prince's hand, it will be immediately ordered by the prince to be examined.
In fact, this matter had already been arranged when he was still in Longqian, and at that time he sent Mu Shaoqing to travel all over the south of the Yangtze River, the north and south of the capital and 13 provinces, and almost all the treasury of each province was generally understood, and now it is even more familiar with the investigation again.
And this matter became a public disposition, so the emperor personally sent Jinyi Wei to dress up in plain clothes, all wearing black robes, with a blue ribbon around their waists, with the waist tag of Beizhen Fusi.
In this way, whoever is not afraid when they see it, which official dares to get along with these people, and at the same time, the foreign eunuchs in the provinces have almost been replaced.
For a time, the people in the palace and the people sent by the emperor checked the treasury of each province at the same time, and they could not help but go against the grain and make false accounts.
In this way, the pace of Shen Ergongzi and Mu Shaoqing and his party checking fake accounts is getting faster and faster.
In just a few days, the treasury of three provinces has been traced, and officials in various localities have no choice but to talk about the deficit they have fallen in the past and try their best to make up for it.
If these holes cannot be filled, the first governor will be held accountable and even escorted directly to Beijing.
In the past, it was said that it was good to be an official, but in fact, it was not free to be an errand, and the greater the official position, the greater the risk.
In this way, the officials of the world were also greatly shaken, and at the same time, the vacancy that was pulled out also made the prince install his own people.
Although the emperor is high, there must be people below him who will do things for him.
Otherwise, he was like the previous emperors who worked hard, but no one did errands for him.
In this way, the ministers of the court think that this is a Ming monarch, or at least an emperor who is extremely difficult to fool.
Compared with his father, he is more unsentimental and more difficult to serve.
At the same time, the pace of lifting the sea ban is getting faster and faster, not only speeding up the cost of building large ships, but also beginning to strengthen the armament at sea.
Reused some generals suitable for naval warfare, just to cooperate with Shen Dagongzi, the smooth progress of shipping.
Of course, all this requires silver, and often the deficit here has just been made up by the sky, and the money for building a big ship is used to transfer all the silver here.
In this way, the imperial court does not have to pay a penny of silver, and there is no need to increase taxes for the common people below.
This is a very good way to save money, not only to get things done without spending more money, but just to make up the deficit of previous years.
It's just that this will make the feudal officials of those provinces suffer, and everyone has to. Dig out your mind to deal with Shen Ergongzi and Mu Shaoqing, and secondly, you have to find some silver for the emperor quickly.
In order to make up for the shortfall, one by one officials had to pay out of their own pockets, and some even went bankrupt, although this was almost their own for them. All the money in the personal pocket was pasted, but in order to keep his position, it was worth it.
At least stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood.
This is something that the current emperor is happy to see, at least the people below do not have to pay additional taxes and oppression, and these officials in the middle do not have to worry about their rebellion.
Since ancient times, rebellion has always been the people below, and if they are left without food, I am afraid that chaos will break out.
However, a large sum of silver earned by Shen's third voyage back was handed over to the treasury and soon transferred to the land of Sanqin to help the victims of the long-term drought, which also made these victims grateful.
Some of the rebel armies who have just raised the anti-flag, and their banner is these victims who can't eat, and there is nothing they can do.
Since ancient times, if there is a stutter in the mouths of the common people, who will embark on this path.
In this way, the new emperor almost effortlessly, did not go to the army to suppress, more than a dozen rebel armies in the land of Sanqin, because the imperial court allocated food and silver, many victims were able to eat, and they all returned home.
Almost overnight, more than half of these rebel armies disappeared.
There are some stubborn rebel armies left, and their strength has also been greatly damaged, so there is no need to mobilize a large army at all, just the strength of the prefecture and county is enough to exterminate them one by one.
It can be said that in the emperor's short reign of more than a month, the world of the Ming Dynasty has been renewed, and the reputation of the new emperor has also been great.
began to understand that all this came from Siyu's original idea, he really doted on her so much that when he sang the name of the cloth, he actually chose Siyu's name.
In this way, this is an unprecedented time that he was obstructed by the imperial history and the officials, but he insisted on this, there was no way that the emperor had never insisted on such a thing so much.
So far, the new year name is Siyu!
And the first year of the emperor's pro-government was the first year of Siyu.
However, some of the people below who don't know the truth hear the name of the emperor's song, it will actually be Siyu, as the name suggests, hoping for rain, which is really overjoyed for the Sanqin disaster victims in the long-drought land.
The land of Sanqin has been dry for three years, and they have not seen it, and the name of Siyu is simply deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for them, and it also makes them revere this new emperor and care about them.
In fact, this is completely the emperor's favor Siyu, in order to thank her for proposing a big plan for shipping to herself when she was not yet in power, otherwise I am afraid that the emptiness of the treasury will be unsustainable, and I don't know how this Ming Dynasty should go on.
Today's Daming is still like a toddler baby, and he is getting out of the crisis step by step.
There is still a lot of crisis, the threat of the northern Jianzhen female slave still exists, and the emperor still needs to work hard to govern the country, and he can't take it lightly.
But after the victims of the Sanqin land received relief, a large sum of money bought food and threw it into the suffering Sanqin land.
Yes, the existence of these sources of chaos is gradually disappearing, and those stubborn rebels are also facing disintegration.
This also caused the high military spending to slowly begin to ease downward, so that the emperor could completely mobilize the focus of defense to Shanhaiguan.
It has just been more than a month since he was in power, and such a good situation has been opened, and he cannot but say that Siyu has contributed a lot.
But Siyu knew that there was a great worry at the moment, that is, the four kings were doing something.
Now that everything is on the right track in the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely not allowed, and there is another civil strife, and the non-stop of the four princes also makes the new emperor feel a headache.
That night, when the emperor returned to Cuiwei Palace, Siyu brought him a shocking news.
"What did you say?"
The prince was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't believe that everything Siyu said had actually come true.
"Your Majesty, that dancing girl has confided the truth, the king of Chu has changed his candidates, and he has not been approved by the imperial court at all, his son inherited the throne without authorization, and his father died unexplained!"
Siyu's previous guesses were all confirmed, and at the first time, he got the testimony of the dancing girl for the prince to see.
If not, he sent this dancing girl to this imperial city, but he was afraid that Siyu would not get any evidence.
But this dancing girl made trouble again, in order to improve her situation, she had to confide in Siyu about this earth-shattering thing.
In this way, the emperor carefully looked at the testimony of the dancing girl, and for a time he was really overjoyed, so that he finally found evidence.
With this article alone, it is completely possible to deprive the king of Chu of the throne.
But the prince began to worry again, and hurriedly asked: "Siyu, I'm afraid this matter can't be made public, once it is made public, I'm afraid it will anger the king of Chu and force him to do something." ”
"The emperor's concubines think that they might as well make this matter public and publicize it to the world, I want to see it, it is almost difficult for this prince to rebel, and a fake prince who violates the law, how far can he go, the people of the world are not fools, who dares to do it with such a person!"
