The next morning.

In the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Hongzhi ascended to his throne with a smile on his face, obviously in a very good mood.

Last night, he had already carefully calculated that the battle of the Wa Kingdom, just the Iwami region captured, and the amount of silver produced every year after that, and the amount of silver belonging to him, the emperor, were several million taels of silver, which was barely enough to make up the annual military expenditure.

This military expenditure is a serious illness in Emperor Hongzhi's heart now.

This military power was withdrawn, but the military expenditure was also on the shoulders of the emperor, and the investment and start required to build an army completely detached from production were too great.

In addition, it is necessary to carry out military system reform and train a new army, and the new army's armament, armor, weapons, artillery, logistics, and so on, all aspects of expenditure are silver.

Not to mention anything else, just the 10,000 new troops in Tianjin, this silver is flowing out like flowing water, only 10,000 new troops, Emperor Hongzhi has now spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Calculated that the average expenditure of a new army may cost hundreds of taels of silver a year.

Such a huge expenditure also made Emperor Hongzhi once doubt whether to carry out military reform, whether to be so extravagant, after all, it is difficult to make money, and he used to pick and search, and he finally got a little rich, and it was really heartbreaking to spend it.

Now, in the first war against the Japanese, the fifteen million taels of silver compensated by the Japanese state must be attributed to Emperor Hongzhi's own internal funds, after all, this army is Emperor Hongzhi, and this military expenditure is also paid by Emperor Hongzhi.

The Iwami silver mine in the Iwami area, this Hongzhi Emperor must be a big proprietor, and the Iwami silver mine with hundreds of millions of taels of silver reserves should be no problem if it mines tens of millions of taels of silver a year.

At that time, this silver will be divided, and Emperor Hongzhi will share a few million taels of silver, and he can mine it for decades, and the pressure of military spending will be gone.

Without the pressure of military spending, Emperor Hongzhi's mood is naturally much more relaxed.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and everyone could clearly see it.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat~"

Xiao Jing is the personal eunuch of Emperor Hongzhi, so it is naturally clear, so when he shouts, his voice is also quite loud.

"The minister has something to do~"

Liu Jian was the first to stand up.

"Liu Aiqing, what's the matter?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly and said.

"Your Majesty, my great tomorrow army defeated the Japanese country, it is really a gratifying and congratulatory event, last year the little prince of Tatar was destroyed, and this year it defeated the Japanese country, coupled with the love of the people of the country, the Ming Dynasty is thriving."

"This is a sign of prosperity, and it should be taken advantage of this to celebrate the country, amnesty the world, and celebrate the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years!"

Liu Jian's voice was very loud, and there was an obvious meaning of sycophancy.

"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable, what do you think?"

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi is still very useful for Liu Jian's sycophant, and the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and creates a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, which is what Emperor Hongzhi has always pursued.

Now that I think about it, Daming is indeed moving towards Zhongxing and prosperity.

Not to mention anything else, just last year's destruction of the little Tatar prince, this year's Eastern Expedition to the Japanese and the victory, this alone is enough to call it Zhongxing, as for the prosperous era, look at the current Beijing-Tianjin area can definitely be called the prosperous era.

"What Liu Gong said is very true, this is a sign of the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty's cultural and martial arts are brilliant, enough to be called an emperor through the ages, and he should be amnesty to the world and celebrate the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Dongyang stood up and said, he is now a little understood, it is estimated that Liu Jian is thinking of taking this opportunity to see if he can get Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng out through amnesty to the world when Emperor Hongzhi is happy.

These two ministers are still in prison.

Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng are both upright ministers, not corrupt ministers, but they were involved in last year's case.

The erosion of the military household system in the imperial court is also the inevitable result of the development of this military household system to the current stage, and it is also the result of Wenchen's military power all along.

It really doesn't have much to do with Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng they are just unlucky just now in that position it happened that Emperor Hongzhi wanted to take it back and.

This matter was poked out, and the two of them naturally couldn't escape responsibility.

Emperor Hongzhi was okay with them, but he just locked them up, in fact, he also had the intention of letting them go, after all, they were not the culprits of corruption.

The really corrupt officials Emperor Hongzhi have already killed the heads, and Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng, who were not killed, are actually ready to let go, but they just lack an excuse.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi is still a kind-hearted and good person, if there is a minister who intercedes or something, he will also borrow the slope to get off the donkey and release Zhou Jing and Ma Wensheng.

But because there have been too many big cases in the past few years, and Emperor Hongzhi has killed too many ministers, everyone doesn't dare to touch this brow, so no one pleads with Emperor Hongzhi.

Now Liu Jian is very smart and uses this matter to release this message to Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Dongyang is a human spirit, and he can be the first assistant of the cabinet later, and he suddenly guessed what Liu Jian meant, so he also said.

Of course, this is indeed something to be happy about.

Since ancient times, winning battles has been a joyous thing, not to mention that the current Ming Dynasty is indeed a sign of prosperity.

"Hmm~"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang patted themselves one after another, and Emperor Hongzhi's mood was very good.

He has long been accustomed to ordinary sycophants, and he doesn't feel anything anymore.

But this is a prosperous era, and it is ZTE, and he is also called the first emperor of the ages by Li Dongyang, and this sycophant makes him enjoy it very much.

"What Liu Gong and Li Gong said is reasonable, my Daming Haiqinghe banquet is thriving, Your Majesty has covered the three emperors, and the five emperors of Degao ...... "Love me e-book."

"Your Majesty is the Holy Monarch of a Thousand Autumns~"

"The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty can be expected~"

With Liu Jian and Li Dongyang at the beginning, the ministers in the court also began to pat Emperor Hongzhi one after another, and this one was more than the other, and Emperor Hongzhi was a little blushing.

But who doesn't like other people's sycophants, even if they know that what the other party says is exaggerated, they still enjoy it.

Emperor Hongzhi was full of smiles, and he had actually guessed what these ministers meant, but it didn't matter, he was in a good mood now.

The great victory of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese Kingdom is to get the silver and earn face, the key is that their losses are minimal, which is very worthy of joy, and it is natural to celebrate well.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the British Duke Zhang Mao, the prisoner Hou Yang Yun, the staff officer of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies Liu Jin, and the Hanlin Yuan Hanlin Wang Shouren~"

However, just as Emperor Hongzhi was about to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and come to the world for an amnesty, Yushi Gann stood up and said very seriously.

His words were like a basin of cold water, and suddenly the entire Jinluan Hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Gann in unison.

"Oh?"

A trace of displeasure flashed on Emperor Hongzhi's face, and he replied faintly.

"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is my Ming vassal state, and my Ming Dynasty has always treated all the vassal states with benevolence and integrity, so all the countries around me Ming Dynasty admire my Ming Dynasty, and they have written to call them ministers, and pay tribute every year."

"Today, the Wa State is just leviing on some merchant ships and killing a few merchants, I can send someone to apply for a reprimand, so as not to ask the Wa State Xingshi for a trivial matter."

"The British Gong Zhang Mao, the prisoner Hou Yang Yun, the staff officer of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies Liu Jin, and the Hanlin Wang Shouren of the Hanlin Academy, as the main generals of the Eastern Expedition to the Japanese State, should be clear about this."

"However, when the army went east to conquer the Japanese Kingdom, they burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, directly destroying several daimyo of the Japanese Kingdom on the side of the Japanese Kingdom, and bombarding several cities, resulting in heavy casualties among the people of the Japanese Kingdom, and the lives of the people of the Japanese Kingdom were devastated."

"It even forced the Wa king, the shogun, and the daimyo to sign an alliance under the city, and the Wa State is a small country, and he wants to compensate me for 15 million taels of silver."

"How is this different from a beast?"

"If the news spreads, how will the surrounding vassal states view my Da Ming?"

Gann was full of emotion, as if he was a Japanese and that he was the one who was hurt.

Hearing his words, Emperor Hongzhi's face changed, he was in a good mood, but now he disappeared in an instant, these imperial histories are all full of food and support the masters who have nothing to do, no matter what happens, they have to come out to mess around, and good things can also make them say bad things.

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi was disgusted by these imperial histories, but there was no way to take these imperial histories.

Because Comrade Lao Zhu, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, gave the imperial history the ability to speak and do things, that is, he could directly impeach the ministers of the court by hearsay, and the reason why the Donglin party members were able to grasp the power of the court in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was a very important way, that is, to use the imperial history to constantly impeach competitors.

Impeachment all the time, impeachment all the time, impeachment until the competitors themselves are embarrassed, please resign and go home, and they will naturally win.

Not only was Emperor Hongzhi unhappy, but many ministers in the court also changed their faces, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang frowned, everything was arranged well, you are the imperial history and ran out to make a mess.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the Wa State is at fault, but this is because the Wa State does not know how to educate, and does not understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, what we should do is to teach them the way of Confucius and Mencius, and teach them the way of benevolence and righteousness, instead of asking teachers for sin."

"Under the pressure of this army, forcing the Japanese to sign an alliance under the city, such a treaty is simply a shame, and it simply loses the bearing of my great power."

"From now on, how should I face the surrounding vassal states, and how can these vassal states be sincere to us?"

"Our Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, the suzerainty should have the strength of the suzerain, the vassal country makes a small mistake, and the small punishment is enough, and it should not be so rejuvenated at all, and the Japanese state is forced to sign the alliance under the city."

"Since ancient times, the rebellious ministers and thieves have all been military generals, and this military generals and nobles have military power, which is the biggest threat to the imperial power.

"The ministers impeached Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, Liu Jin, and Wang Shouren, wantonly burned and looted in our Ming vassal states, and forced the Japanese to sign the alliance under the city, which undermined the benevolence and righteousness of our Ming Dynasty."

Gann spoke of justice as if he were the embodiment of justice.

"The minister also wants to impeach Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, and plunder my Ming vassal state, what is the difference between the barbarians and beasts, the army marches eastward, so that my Ming Dynasty loses its trust in the world, and the name of benevolence and righteousness that I have been operating for a hundred years is gone, and from then on, the countries around my Ming Dynasty will no longer have admiration for my Ming Dynasty, and will only be afraid, afraid that my Ming Dynasty will ask them for their crimes, burn, kill and loot."

After Gann, Yushi Zhang Wenjing also stood up for impeachment.

Soon, several Yu Shi and Hanlin came forward one after another to impeach Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and others, and some even suggested canceling the treaty that had just been reached with the Japanese state.

It is believed that this treaty is an alliance under the city forced by the army to sign by the Japanese State, and it is not something that the Japanese State really wants to sign, and the treaty is very harsh on the Japanese State.

This small country and widowed people want to compensate the Ming Dynasty with 15 million taels of silver, which is really too much, it is the exploitation and oppression of the Japanese country, which will make the people of the Japanese country miserable, and make the people of the Japanese country hot, and when the time comes, it will damage the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty and the prestige of His Majesty.

In short, in the eyes of these people, Zhang Mao, Yang Yun, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and others were heinous criminals, conniving at the army to burn, kill and loot in the Japanese country, and wantonly poisoning the people of the Japanese country.

As for the collection of Ming merchants on the side of the Japanese state, the looting of the Ming merchants, and the killing of the Ming merchants, in their eyes, it is worthless, a trivial matter, and it is impossible to commit the crime of Xingshi to the Japanese state, and even the application for the Japanese state is not necessary.

After all, that is detrimental to the name of benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain, and the suzerainty should have the demeanor of the suzerain.

Listening to where these people impeached Zhang Mao, Liu Jin and others, Emperor Hongzhi's face became gloomy.

In Emperor Hongzhi's heart, these people are now referring to the deer as a horse and treating themselves like fools.

This suzerainty and vassal state are good, but it's just the Ming Dynasty entertaining himself, and the Wa Kingdom didn't treat you as a green onion at all before.

Whether it's the king of the Japanese kingdom or the shogunate, who needs your Emperor Ming to canonize him?

It is said to be a tribute, but in fact, they all come to the Ming to ask for benefits, every time they come to pay tribute, the Ming Dynasty is several times back, so that when the Ming national strength is weakened, they are unable to bear it, and they have to order the surrounding vassal states not to pay tribute every year.

In the final analysis, they are all typical representatives of slapping swollen faces and filling fat people, so happy.

What a suzerainty and vassal state really takes itself seriously.

Now it is clear that the Wa Kingdom is disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, and the following offenses are committed, and the Ming Xingshi crusades against them, which is also to uphold justice, but in the mouths of these people, it has completely changed its taste.
